When I went back, I told Su Wen about sending Tong Yao back tomorrow. This matter was very small, and Su Wen would certainly arrange it very well, including Tong Yao's breakfast. There was no need for me to give special instructions at all. If Su Wen even
If she cannot handle such things well, then she is not a qualified deputy secretary-general of the general office.
But I still asked Su Wen the next morning, "Did you send her back?"
But Su Wen told me, "Mayor Feng, she didn't go back to the provincial capital today. She called me and asked me to send her an off-road vehicle. She said she wanted to go to the temple we were planning to rebuild.
Let’s go and have a look at the place. I have sent a car to her. Li Qian accompanied her there.”
I was suddenly surprised: What was she doing there? I couldn't help but think: She really couldn't figure it out, let her do whatever she wanted, maybe she just wanted to have fun. But I think it's quite understandable that she didn't tell me this.
Because she knows I am very busy.
I said, "Well. She can go wherever she wants. If she doesn't leave today, you can arrange for her to have a meal then. I have to discuss things with the Japanese side today, so I may not have time to accompany her."
She agreed repeatedly.
I really don't have time to spend with her. I have too many things to do today.
Tanaka called me personally yesterday and made an appointment to talk to me in the afternoon. He wanted to discuss the workshop design with me. In fact, I didn't need to participate in such a thing, but I guess he might have other more important questions to ask.
Find me.
At present, the infrastructure construction in the industrial park has been completed, and several factories preparing to be relocated have also come up with their design drawings. Companies affiliated to the industrial park will be responsible for building the factories and taking shares.
The factory must be built according to the other party's requirements, because each factory's products are different, so the production lines will also be different.
We met in the hotel where Tanaka lives in the afternoon. Not in the conference room, but in the suite where Tanaka lives. The living room of the suite has now become his temporary office.
When I got there, I found that Li Wenwu and Yu Yong were not there. I was surprised and asked him: "Mr. Tanaka, didn't you mean to discuss the workshop design issue? Our representatives and people from our park company are not here, how can we
Discuss this matter? I don’t understand technical things."
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you. The factory building is very simple. I have handed over the design drawings to your company. They can just build according to the drawings we provided. But Mayor Feng
Mayor, I do have something to talk to you about. Mayor Feng, we are currently having a lot of trouble at work. I don’t want to say such things to you on the phone because I don’t want you to be too nervous and excited. Yesterday I
Not in Shangjiang City, but in Beijing. We can only meet today. I don't want you to worry about my phone call all day."
So that's it, this Japanese is quite interesting. I thought to myself. I immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tanaka. Please tell me now, what exactly is causing you trouble?"
He said with a wry smile: "The National Development and Reform Commission rejected our report, saying that many of the data in our report had problems."
I asked in surprise: "So, is there a problem with the data in your report? If there is a problem, then revise it and submit it again?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "There is indeed a problem. However, there is no problem with the data in the report we submitted to you Jiangnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission. This is the dereliction of duty of your Jiangnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission. Mayor Feng, for this matter, I asked you this morning
I went to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, but they refused to admit that it was their mistake. It is not our own report that is problematic. Mayor Feng, I suspect that the person in charge of your Provincial Development and Reform Commission felt that we did not bribe him, so that's why
Deliberately making things difficult for us. This matter makes it difficult for us to handle. Originally, I wanted to go to Governor Wang to report this matter, but I also know that some people cannot afford to offend. Even if the matter is resolved this time,
Maybe they will come up with something else in the future. Mayor Feng, I'm thinking, if the bureaucracy in Jiangnan Province is so serious, we may have to consider divestment."
I was immediately startled by his words, "Mr. Tanaka, this matter is not that serious, right? This project is personally handled by Governor Wang, and Governor Huang is in charge of it. Our Jiangnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission will not do that."
. I think there must be some misunderstanding here."
He disapproved and said: "The Jiangnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission only needs to form a formal document based on the data we provide and report it to the National Development and Reform Commission. Why do they want to modify our data? Mayor Feng, you
How to explain this?"
I was thinking to myself, this thing is indeed a bit strange, but the Provincial Development and Reform Commission will never deliberately make things difficult for the application of this project, unless they are fools. You know, they will take huge risks if they do that. Think of this
, I immediately asked him: "Mr. Tanaka, please tell me, has anyone from the Jiangnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission made any private request to you either explicitly or implicitly?"
He shook his head and said: "That's not true. But do they need to take the initiative to bring up such a thing? Maybe they think we should understand the unspoken rules here. Our Japanese company has never been in the habit of paying bribes. This is our principle.
"
I disagree in my heart: You Japanese people are unscrupulous for profit. Aren't things like bribery commonplace for you?
Suddenly, a terrible thought suddenly arose in my mind: Do they want to use this incident to withdraw investment? Or, in other words, their original intention is to withdraw investment?
If this is really the case, then that is the real trouble. No, there is another possibility, that is, something happened to Kazuo Tanaka himself, or he personally has some undue demands on us, so that's why
He came to tell me such things out of nowhere.
Yes, that should be the case. Withdrawal is impossible. Now we have signed a formal agreement, and we have invested so much. Their unilateral withdrawal will require double compensation. Such a thing is not his
Kazuo Tanaka can make the decision. Then, there must be other reasons for this.
Thinking of this, I immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Tanaka, I think you must have misunderstood. I think this is how to handle this matter. I will go to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission in person tomorrow, or make a special trip to find Governor Huang. I will be responsible.
Solve this matter. What do you think?"
But he waved his hand to me and said: "Mayor Feng, thank you. I have actually taken care of this matter. In fact, what I am worried about is not the matter itself, but your bureaucracy and the lack of people to implement the policy."
.Mayor Feng, this is not something you can solve, right?"
I felt even more baffled and said, "Mr. Tanaka, I don't think the problem is as serious as you think. Yes, many of our departments do have serious bureaucracy, but no one will deliberately set up the system on this project we are cooperating with."
Obstacles. In the final analysis, it is still the same, they dare not. So Mr. Tanaka, I think you have made the problem too serious.
By the way, at this point, I remembered a joke... Haha! Mr. Tanaka, let me tell you this joke. There is a girl who has been feeling chest tightness for a while.
Breathing was not smooth. Her mother was very worried, so she took her to see a Chinese medicine doctor. After looking around, the old doctor asked the girl: Is your chest tightness obvious during the day and not feeling at night? The girl thought about it and answered.
He said: Yes. The girl’s mother hurriedly asked: Doctor, what’s wrong with this child? The doctor adjusted his glasses, raised his head and looked at the girl and said: The bra is too small!”
Tanaka was startled for a moment, then laughed, "Mayor Feng, your joke is very funny."
I smiled and said: "Mr. Tanaka, this joke is indeed funny. But it reveals a mistake we often make, that is, we easily complicate simple problems. If it makes a joke, that's fine.
, but in real life, we often make things worse because such simple problems become complicated.
Just imagine, if this girl does not go to see a doctor, but suddenly suspects that she is suffering from a serious disease, then it is very likely that she will develop a real disease due to extreme psychological stress.
Mr. Tanaka, I was thinking just now that you specially called me to your room today, and there are only two of us here. I think this is first of all your trust in me, and secondly, haha! Mr. Tanaka, you really
Maybe you want to tell me more than just the National Development and Reform Commission? Mr. Tanaka, I am very grateful to you and thank you for treating me as your friend. So, don’t have any scruples and just tell me directly if you have anything.
As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it well. You can rest assured about this."
He stood up immediately and bowed to me, "Mr. Feng, thank you so much! I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have used it in this way, but I did encounter trouble with you. I don't care about this matter."
I can’t tell anyone else, but after thinking about it for a long time, I feel that I have no choice but to trouble you. Mr. Feng, please forgive me for being insincere to you!”
Sure enough.
In fact, I had already thought of this in my mind just now. I was thinking that since he used divestment as a means to threaten us, and his subsequent words were obviously not for work matters, it means that he may have really met me.
It's an unsolvable problem, and I immediately suspected that it was probably because of women, because Japanese people are so nice.
Japanese people sometimes have strange ideas. They have a kind of arrogance in their bones and do not want to reveal their private affairs or scandals to others. But once something is clearly stated by them, the problem will become troublesome.
stand up.
This matter is obviously that he is trying to use things at work to find fault with us, and use this as a kind of exchange. The thing he needs to exchange is the trouble that he has not yet talked about. If this matter is mentioned
To be exaggerated, his approach was the same as that of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.
Therefore, the problem with the Provincial Development and Reform Commission also exists, or it is likely that it was deliberately caused by Kazuo Tanaka. His purpose is very simple, that is, exchange. (To be continued)
