Dong Xinjian was taboo about lighting cigarettes, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with him at all. Being humiliated by Cao Mo, he could only suppress his inner dissatisfaction.
After Cao Mo and the others entered the box, he said to Lu Jiandong sarcastically: "The children in Chonghai are really unique!"
Lu Jiandong was even more annoyed. He didn't know where these young people around Yang Jianguo, an old cunning guy, came from. He wanted to take the opportunity to beat them up, but he didn't expect that he would end up like a human being.
The thought of people ignoring him at all, with undisguised contempt in their eyes, really made his gums itch with hatred.
Cao Mo and the others didn't rest in the box for long. They quickly bought the deal and left Shuangyi's house, taking a car and sightseeing around the park.
Lu Jiandong and Dong Xinjian stood on the deck of the boat and saw the cars Cao Mo, Yang Jianguo and others were riding in. The most high-end car was just a Mercedes-Benz E-series, Chevrolet, and Mondeo.
The pickup truck will come to collect from the roadside stall.
This situation was really humiliating for them. Seeing the license plates of Mercedes-Benz, Chevrolet and pickup trucks, Lu Jiandong couldn't help but cursed: "It turns out they are all little red guys from Xinhai, don't they have any tutors?"
Cao Mo didn't take the afternoon episode to heart either.
At present, Xinhai has implemented its industrial withdrawal plan, which does not mean that investment and construction in palm oil refining and cocoa butter powder processing industries are not allowed. However, in addition to higher industrial land prices and higher employment costs, tax incentives are also gradually withdrawn.
.
The palm oil, cocoa butter powder processing and other businesses of the two companies will be integrated into Tianyue Industrial. If they want to further expand the scale in the future, they will need to choose a location to build a new factory outside Xinhai.
The R&D and testing center currently rented by Tianyue Industry on the bank of Zhiyun Lake is already full. It is responsible for Huachen's pickup truck production line. The designed annual production capacity is only 50,000 vehicles. Even if the potential is further explored, even if the production of new models is not considered for the time being.
, as the "Gray Bird" pickup truck and "Lingyu" off-road vehicle expand to the markets on both sides of the Gulf of Guinea, it is also necessary to consider the construction and start-up of a new factory as soon as possible.
No matter from any aspect, Chonghai is a very good choice.
However, even if it is finally decided that the new R&D and testing center and production base will be located in Chonghai, Chonghai has jurisdiction over three districts and five counties (cities), and there are more than 20 national and provincial high-tech industrial parks, there is still work to be done here
choose.
Although the Chongxin United Industrial Park has just started construction, the conditions in all aspects are very favorable.
Along the adjacent Yangtze River, there are various bulk and container terminals ranging from several thousand tons to 200,000 tons.
National highways, provincial highways, coastal and riverside expressways pass through Chongxin Park, and you can quickly enter the industrial park from the exit.
The high-speed railway under construction, Chonghai South Station is only a five-minute drive from Chongxin Industrial Park, which also greatly shortens the distance between Xinhai and Chongxin Industrial Park.
The adjacent Ziying Lake New City is a new urban area that Chonghai is putting all its efforts into building in the southeast. The elevated ring road can easily connect the Chongxin Industrial Zone with the old and new urban areas of Chonghai.
Chonghai's GDP exceeded RMB 300 billion by the end of 2008. It has a solid manufacturing foundation, and its education and research resources are far stronger than those of ordinary prefecture-level cities.
To be honest, even without Yang Jianguo's factor, Shen Ji, Xu Bin and others have already listed Chongxin United Industrial Park as the first inspection target. They will have a set of tax incentives, geographical location, human resources, R&D resources, etc.
As for the criteria for judging, Cao Mo came here to feel more intuitively the standards and conditions printed in writing.
Chongxin Industrial Park has not yet started large-scale construction. The management committee building and business supporting area were also invested and constructed by Chonghai Municipal Urban Investment Group in 2009, and will not be opened until the end of 2010 at the earliest - you can see
He didn't go to many places, but Yang Jianguo was very familiar with the local people, customs and scenery. He walked around for a whole afternoon, but he was not bored at all.
In the evening, he made an appointment to have a meal with Cheng Xi's relatives as a meeting. Yang Jianguo arranged the dinner at a restaurant called Mei Xiao - the restaurant is located on Jiangbian Mountain. After exiting the parking lot, walk up the stairs and enter the restaurant's private room.
, you can see the mighty river below the window, and you can tell from the location that this restaurant is very stylish.
It was already dusk and the river was dark, but there were many lights dotted on the river, and countless freighters were passing by on the river non-stop, highlighting the country's vibrant economic vitality.
Cheng Xi has the closest relationship with her uncle's family, but her relationship with her second uncle Yang Jiange and her aunt Yang Jianqin's family is average, and they rarely move around.
When they arrived at the parking lot, aunt Cheng Xi and her eldest daughter Yang Chun were waiting in the parking lot, while everyone else was waiting in the box.
Cheng Xi's second uncle was also a government official at the deputy division level. Although he was in the casual department, Cao Mo could tell that he was not convinced by his boss Yang Jianguo. When they met, he impatiently asked why the boss Yang Jianguo was leading people outside.
I didn't come to the hotel until late at night.
Cao Mo thought to himself that with Cheng Xi's mother's temper, it was strange that Cheng Xi's family had a close relationship with her second uncle's family.
Cheng Xi's aunt worked in the Health Bureau and was just an ordinary clerk until now. Cao Mo also knew very well that Cheng Xi's aunt didn't know about his situation. When he saw him driving a pickup truck into the parking lot, he felt a knot in his heart.
It was just out of politeness that she didn't say anything, but after arriving in the box, Cao Mo saw her pulling Cheng Xi and her second uncle aside to talk. The expression on her face showed that she must be talking about the "broken car" he drove.
Cao Mo thought that Cheng Xi's mother had not told his sister about his situation in advance, and the relationship was quite distant.
Cheng Xi's eldest uncle is a pediatrician. When Cao Mo and the others walked in, they heard her eldest uncle pulling Cheng Xi and his second uncle to brag about gifts given to patients' families.
He praised, "Young man looks very talented"!
Several of Cheng Xi's cousins are basically married and have careers. Two work in government departments, one is a teacher in a key high school, and one has just graduated from a master's degree and entered the most famous tertiary hospital in Chonghai.
The Yang family is not considered rich and powerful in Chonghai, but it can definitely be considered a well-to-do family of the middle and upper classes.
Of course, Cheng Xi's family is superior to her aunt's family.
Cao Mo appeared as Cheng Xi's boyfriend. Although the first impression of his second uncle's and aunt's family was not favorable, out of politeness, he sat down and came over to ask what he was doing now.
"Start your own business and make some investments..." Cao Mo said truthfully.
"Hey, you young people are just not practical and have no social experience. How can you start a business? Do you think we are still in the 1980s and 1990s, and as long as you dare to venture, you will be able to get ahead? Look at Yang Xu, he started a company right after graduation.
It's been ten years, what have you done now? What if
At the beginning, I directly entered the agency, and my relationship was smooth, and now I have already become a serious official." The second uncle Yang Jiange mercilessly pulled Yang Xu out and used it as a negative case to preach.
Every family had difficult times to recite. In order to take care of his grandmother's illness, Cao Mo was forced to hold his nose and endure his brother-in-law. He also calmly accompanied Cheng Xi to deal with all kinds of "concerns" from his second uncle, two aunts, and aunt.
But Yang Xu was still a little impatient after being repeatedly pulled out to preach.
The saying "enemies never get together" still makes sense.
Mei Xiao Restaurant is located in the middle of the mountain beside the river. The building area is actually not large. The private rooms with the best views are relatively small. They share a viewing terrace overlooking the river. Cao Mo and the others sat in the private rooms talking and watched through the window sill.
Arriving at Lu Jianxin, Dong Xinjian and a middle-aged man walked from next door to the viewing terrace to look at the river view.
Cao Mo and Yang Jianguo must have wanted to pretend not to see it, but it was Cheng Xi and his second uncle Yang Jiange who made a fuss and shouted: "Boss, these are not Secretary Zhou Bin and Deputy Director Lu Jiandong of your park. They are also having dinner at Mei Xiao tonight!"
Before Yang Jianguo could stop him, Yang Jiange had already opened the small door leading to the terrace and said, "Secretary Zhou, Director Lu, are you eating here too tonight?"
"Hey, Minister Yang, Director Yang, it's you, who's talking next door?" Zhou Bin, secretary of the Chongxin United Industrial Park Working Committee, glanced inside and asked with a smile, "What do you have at home?
Happy event?"
"My niece came to Chonghai with her boyfriend to meet her!" Yang Jiange said, "My second sister's son, yes, her father is the deputy director of the Qingshan District Public Security Bureau of Xinhai City, and my second sister works for Huayi Commercial, a listed company.
Vice President...Cheng Xi, Cao Mo..."
Yang Jianguo had to go over and say hello to the park leader.
Although Yang Jiange was not close to his second sister's family, he was still used to bringing his second sister and second brother-in-law out to support the scene.
At this moment, he wanted to greet Cao Mo, and Cheng Xi also went out, but Cao Mo stood up in the box and waved outside as a greeting.
Lu Jiandong and Dong Xinjian could see Cao Mo's face clearly now. They had made a big fuss at noon. Now when they heard Yang Jiange say that this young man was actually his and Yang Jianguo's nephew and son-in-law, they couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Your family
What a great nephew and son-in-law!"
"..." The young man was shy and unsociable, but Zhou Bin was not surprised. However, he didn't know where Lu Jiandong's resentment came from, so he looked over with confusion.
"Mr. Dong and I are not taken seriously by Director Yang's nephew and son-in-law." Lu Jiandong still couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart and complained.
Yang Jiange was also a little embarrassed and looked back. Although he was not satisfied with this "nephew and son-in-law", he was not qualified to teach him a lesson just after they met.
Yang Jianguo usually did not argue with Lu Jiandong, and he would not give in unprincipledly at this time. He said: "They also came to Chonghai to inspect investment. At noon, it was actually Director Lu who was a little inappropriate."
Lu Jiandong sneered twice, with a "whatever you say is what you say" look, and said to Zhou Bin: "It's windy outside, Secretary Zhou, let's accompany Mr. Dong to the box to sit - Mr. Dong was very angry at noon.
Don’t be frozen anymore…”
"Haha, it's a trivial matter!" Dong Xinjian said tolerantly.
Yang Jianguo felt very uncomfortable when Lu Jiandong choked him.
Zhou Bin is in charge of the work of the new park. He is ambitious to do something and attaches great importance to investment promotion.
If he didn't deal with Lu Jiandong, Zhou Bin might pretend not to see it, but Lu Jiandong said that Cao Mo also annoyed Dong Xinjian. The key point was that Dong Xinjian sang with Lu Jiandong at this time, which violated Zhou Bin's taboo.
And even if he reveals Cao Mo's identity, he may not be able to get the scene back.
As the saying goes, "A hundred birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand."
Cao Mo has not made it clear that he will invest in Chongxin Industrial Park. No matter how big Tianyue is and no matter how high Cao Mo's personal wealth is, he has no big investment in the local area. Why should local officials look at his face instead of trying to please someone?
Dong Xinjian, who will invest 200-300 million in Chongxin Industrial Park in the near future?
In today's Chonghai, two to three billion cannot be considered a big project, but Chongxin Industrial Park particularly needs a few start-up projects that are viable, which highlights the importance of Dongling CNC.
Otherwise, the officials of the management committee would not be driven by Zhou Bin all day long to attract investment.
Sure enough, Zhou Bin's face immediately darkened, and without saying anything, he went back to the box with Lu Jiandong and Dong Xinjian.
"Why on earth did you offend Lu Jiandong at noon, causing him to complain in front of Zhou Bin?" Yang Jiange was also unhappy and could not directly question Cao Mo. He sat down and lowered his voice to ask the boss Yang Jianguo to get to the bottom of it.
"Lu Jiandong is blind!" Yang Jianguo said angrily, somewhat dumbfounded.
Cao Mo was also quite bored, so he waited for the waiter to put the cold dishes on the table, so he excused himself from drinking because they had to drive back to Xinhai at night - Yang Jianguo had arranged accommodation, but Yang Jiange and Yang Jianqin were really not satisfied with this prospective nephew-in-law and wanted to
He quickly finished his meal and settled the matter without asking for a drink, let alone leaving Cheng Xi, Cao Mo and the others to spend the night in Xinhai.
It was only past seven o'clock, and Cao Mo and the others had almost eaten.
Yang Jianguo asked his son Yang Xu to go out and pay the bill. He thought that it would be better to get things done here quickly. Even if Yang Xu took Cao Mo and Cheng Xi and the others to find a bar later, it would be better than doing it here.
As soon as Yang Xuda walked out, he heard a noise coming from the hall outside. He heard Zhou Bin and Lu Jiandong shouting outside: "Secretary Shan..."
When Yang Xu came back from paying the bill, he was still standing at the door of the box and looking out. Yang Jianguo and Yang Jiange brothers were in the box. They looked out and saw Shan Zeming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, surrounded by several people, accompanied by a middle-aged man who had just left.
In the hall outside - Zhou Bin, Lu Jiandong and the others walked out of the box and exchanged greetings with Shan Zeming.
Yang Jianguo and Yang Jiange usually couldn't get close to Shan Zeming. They didn't even know if Shan Zeming remembered them. They hesitated to go out to say hello, but the sharp-eyed middle-aged man next to Shan Zeming looked at them.
When he arrived at Cao Mo, he waved and shouted: "Cao Mo, come on, Secretary Shan has come all the way to find you..."
Cao Mo didn't even know that Ding Zhaoqiang was in Chonghai today. He patted his forehead as if it was troublesome and went out to shake hands with Shan Zeming: "Hello, Secretary Shan. I didn't even know that Ding Zhaoqiang didn't call in advance to say that he was also in Chonghai."
ocean!"
"I didn't let Mr. Ding make the call. We did this surprise attack because I was afraid that you would find excuses not to see us." Shan Zeming held Cao Mo's hand and laughed, "It's hard to see you. I
I just want Mr. Ding to ask you to meet him. Several times you went to Chonghai and missed the opportunity to meet him..."
"Slowing the North and Promoting the South", promoting the urban expansion to the southeast and the Ziying Lake New City were promoted by Shan Zeming after he took office in Chonghai.
In the process, he and Ding Zhaoqiang also established a very special relationship.
Close personal relationship.
The debt crisis that Dongsheng Real Estate encountered in 2007 and 2008 meant that Ziying Lake New City may be unfinished. Isn't what Shan Zeming is facing a huge crisis?
In the early days, Shan Zeming also actively helped Dongsheng, trying to persuade financial institutions to solve Dongsheng's debt problem. However, Shan Zeming's influence was mainly limited to Chonghai, and there were many people in Chonghai who wanted to see his benefits.
play.
He wanted to meet Cao Mo several times, mainly because he wanted to convince Cao Mo to believe in Chonghai's development potential and help solve the debt crisis Dongsheng Real Estate was facing at that time.
Of course, the relationship between Cao Mo and Ding Zhaoqiang was more complicated. When the two families reconciled and resolved the debt crisis of Dongsheng Real Estate, he never met Shan Zeming.
"Secretary Shan, you are so busy, aren't I afraid of disturbing your work?" Cao Mo said with a smile.
"Zhou Bin, you have to overcome all difficulties to stay in Chonghai for the Tianyue project!" Shan Zeming learned more from Ding Zhaoqiang about the situation where the carmakers were looking for a place to build a second R&D and testing center, and mistakenly thought that Zhou Bin and Yang Jianguo were both there.
Mei Xiao received Cao Mo and even mistakenly thought that they had a pleasant chat. She immediately gave Zhou Bin direct instructions, "There are some policies that the park has restrictions on and require the cooperation of the city. You can report them directly to me..."
"Definitely, definitely!" Zhou Bin was confused. With his well-trained communication skills, he could barely suppress the shock in his heart and went to answer Shan Zeming's words, but in his heart he wanted to kick Lu Jiandong into the river.
.
During the dinner just now, Lu Jiandong had put eye drops on Yang Jianguo, told him about the unpleasantness that happened at noon, and scolded Yang Jianguo's prospective nephew and son-in-law in front of him for being so unruly and unethical.
Zhou Bin even comforted Dong Xinjian a few words during the scene, but, who knew he was qualified to ignore your two grandsons' bullshit? What a violation of the rules!
Dong Xinjian's investment projects are packaged in a relatively high-end package, but in fact, an early investment of 100 million is a huge achievement. This is also because the Chongxin Industrial Park now needs to be filled with projects that look bright and shiny, and the city does not pay much attention to it.
You must know that Yang Jianguo's nephew and son-in-law can alarm Secretary Shan. No matter what the origin is, he will not ignore it!
He even doubted whether Yang Jianguo deliberately dug a hole for him to step on, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not true. Yang Jianguo had almost retired to the second line, and there was no serious conflict with him. He usually respected Yang Jianguo quite a lot.
What kind of company is Tianyue, and why does it sound so familiar?
"Do you mind if Mr. Ding and I come to share your meal?" Shan Zeming still didn't see anything unusual, so he wanted to interrupt with Ding Zhaoqiang to have a meal, so he asked.
Did Ding Zhaoqiang know from Shen Ji that Cao Mo was in Chonghai at night, or was Cao Mo bored and sending text messages to Shen Ji bragging about the nice night scene in Mei Xiao? Next time they went to Chonghai, they could make a special trip to eat Jiang Xian, but they didn't want to expose their whereabouts.
Even if Ding Zhaoqiang agrees to integrate Dongsheng Group's business and resources with Tianyue Industrial in order to devote more resources and energy to the development of Dongsheng Real Estate, it does not mean that Dongsheng will no longer be involved in investments in other fields.
Ding Zhaoqiang was also very interested in the plans and ideas of Tianyue Industry and Car Maker, and he learned a lot from Shen Ji. However, there were too many things to talk about in the previous meeting, and there was no chance to talk about the development of Tianyue Industry and Car Maker.
Shan Zeming learned from Ding Zhaoqiang about Cao Mo's ideas for Tianyue Industry and the carmaker, and of course he became more interested.
Chonghai has a relatively complete range of light industry construction, heavy chemical industry, manufacturing and other categories, but it is blank in the field of vehicle manufacturing, let alone any local automobile brands that it is proud of.
If he hadn't learned from Ding Zhaoqiang that Yang Jianguo, deputy director of Chongxin United Industrial Park, was the uncle of Cao Mo's fiancée, Shan Zeming would have wanted to let the city directly take over the corresponding investment work.
Also afraid that if he called in advance, Cao Mo would find an excuse to shirk, Shan Zeming decided to drag Ding Zhaoqiang over so that he could meet him. At this time, he also directly proposed to have dinner at the table, hoping to directly finalize the introduction of the project.
However, in the two adjacent private rooms, one was having a lively drinking session, while the other was already full of food and drinks. Both had paid their bills and were ready to leave.
Shan Zeming and Ding Zhaoqiang were about to go to Cao Mo's box, and Zhou Bin was a little panicked.
When Shan Zeming walked to the door and saw the disheveled look in the box, he realized what was happening. He turned around and asked Zhou Bin, "Aren't you here to eat with Mr. Cao and the others?"
"Cao Mo came to Chonghai this time to take a break from his busy schedule. I arranged a family dinner as a sign of recognition, so I didn't alert Secretary Zhou. I also thought that after dinner, I would report to Secretary Zhou, but I didn't expect it.
Secretary Shan, you and Mr. Ding are here!" Yang Jianguo didn't have any ambitions in his official career, so he couldn't possibly give Zhou Bin some eye drops for the trivial matter just now, and he even took the initiative to cover it up for him.
"Zhou Bin, you didn't do your homework well - Dongsheng Real Estate encountered a debt crisis. It was Tianyue Investment and Sun Hung Investment that injected 3 billion into Dongsheng Real Estate, so the construction of Ziying Lake New City was not delayed. Cao Cao
As the chairman of Tianyue Investment, he is a person who has contributed to the construction of Chonghai. Tianyue has been involved in automobile research and development and manufacturing for two years. He has accumulated a certain amount of technology and production experience, and has made great achievements in sales in Africa.
After the preparation period, we plan to join forces with Dongsheng Holdings and Xinhong Investment to find a place to expand automobile manufacturing. Mr. Cao came to Chonghai this time to investigate suitable investment sites for this project - I thought you knew this.
I will personally handle this matter."
The debt crisis of Dongsheng Real Estate also caused panic in Chonghai at that time. Speaking of Tianyue Investment, Zhou Bin was no stranger to it, but how could he connect Tianyue's investment in Cao Mo with Yang Jianguo's nephew and son-in-law?
Although he just heard Yang Jiange calling the name "Cao Mo", he was quite familiar with it.
Lu Jiandong wished he could dig a hole and bury himself in it so that no one would notice him anymore.
Dong Xinjian was also so embarrassed that he wanted to strangle himself.
Even if he doesn't know what Tianyue Investment is, what kind of figure Ding Zhaoqiang is in the business world, and who can join forces with Sun Hung Investment to save Dongsheng from crisis, is not something he can compare with.
Otherwise, how could Chonghai's top leaders come over in person to meet?
Fortunately, let alone Zhou Bin, Yang Jianguo also tried his best to help Zhou Bin smooth things over at this time, and did not engage in meaningless slaps: "It's all my fault, I should have reported it to Secretary Zhou earlier! Secretary Shan, Mr. Ding also
I didn’t have a meal, so I asked the hotel to rearrange a table - Cao Mo was planning to go back to Xinhai today, and he didn’t drink just now, so he just had enough to accompany Secretary Dan. Mr. Ding, you two have a drink..."
Cao Mo didn't care, Yang Jianguo helped cover it up, and Zhou Bin certainly wouldn't expose his own shortcomings. When he led Shan Zeming and Ding Zhaoqiang to the terrace to enjoy the river view, he just secretly ordered his secretary to quickly arrange Lu Jiandong and Dong Xinjian to other places.
