"Are we also responsible for the funds ourselves?" Li Hui was a little confused.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and nodded, "We're paying for the promotional video ourselves, so other departments won't make things difficult for us, right?"
Li Hui smiled helplessly and asked in confusion: "But we don't have money. The Merchants Group was established not long ago, and the slush fund doesn't have much surplus."
Seeing Li Hui's worried face, Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the funding issue. I have a good idea."
The Merchants Bureau is now facing a shortage of funds. It is not only inferior to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Land Bureau, which are rich in resources, but also inferior to the Education Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau, which are poor government offices. There are two key reasons. First, the Merchants Bureau was just established this year, and the county government's financial allocation is not much. After more than half a year of consumption, there is basically nothing left. Second, the Merchants Bureau is not a profitable department, but a department that asks people to spend money. As one thing increases, the other decreases, and the slush fund is naturally insufficient.
If you want to increase the unit's funds, you can work hard on fiscal appropriations, which is the right way, but you must also find other ways to find subsidies from other channels. The investment project reward is an important source. After the Qi Group signed a cooperation agreement with Dongtai County, most of the funds have been injected into Dongtai County. Fang Zhicheng is now determined to strive for the reward money.
It is not an easy task to strive for project incentive funds. Although Dongtai County has incentive policies, they have often become a formality over the years. The financial power seems to be in the hands of the county magistrate Sun Weiming, but in fact, Qian Dechen still has the final say in Dongtai's affairs.
According to legend, the project reward funds for attracting investment must be distributed according to the preferences of the county party secretary Qian Dechen. There was a precedent in the past where a staff member introduced a project worth 30 million yuan, but only received a few thousand yuan in reward funds.
Fang Zhicheng turned on his computer, created a new document, and began to write an application for incentives for investment projects in 2005. According to preliminary calculations, due to the mobilization of all county government employees to attract investment at the end of last year, a total of 6 billion yuan in investment was attracted, of which 4.5 billion yuan was directly promoted by the county investment bureau. According to the 0.5% reward probability, relevant staff in the investment bureau system can receive more than 20 million yuan in rewards.
It was obviously impossible to obtain the approval of the county government leaders directly for such a huge amount of money, so it was necessary to change the way of application. In the application, Fang Zhicheng proposed the concept of "corporatization". That is, with the county investment promotion bureau as the main initiator, it would cooperate with a qualified guarantee company to register Dongtai Investment Service Co., Ltd., and change the role of the investment promotion bureau from attracting investment to an incubator that provides funds for enterprises.
It is unlikely that the more than 20 million project reward funds can be allocated to individuals, but it is a good suggestion if they are used as the registered capital and the first batch of working capital of a new company.
Of course, this is a very bold approach, and Fang Zhicheng believes that this is also the future trend of the development of government investment promotion departments, but from the current perspective of other places, there is no precedent.
Can Dongtai County allow Fang Zhicheng to have such bold and advanced ideas
Regardless of whether Dongtai County will support him or not, Fang Zhicheng must do something. He took office with passion and ambition. With Song Wendi watching behind him, he must achieve some results before he can return to Yinzhou.
In fact, this creativity and idea is not unique, but it is rare nowadays. Fang Zhicheng found inspiration and ideas from the development of the Beijing Office. Most of the Beijing Offices also rely on government funds at the beginning of their development, but over time they have accumulated huge resources. With the government as a backer, they can form asset entities with clever operations.
Chapter 0216: The Next Step of China Merchants Group
Now many government offices in Beijing have invested in corresponding industries. Take Dongtai Office in Qiongjin as an example. It owns a podium building worth tens of millions of yuan in Qiongjin. Dongtai Office in Qiongjin uses that podium building, either by leasing or self-operating. It can not only support its own staff, but also bring certain income to the government, so that the office itself has a much higher voice.
Compared with the Beijing Office, the China Merchants Group has unique resources and is the first barrier for the government to contact enterprises. Investment promotion is not only about attracting enterprises that already have strong strength, but also about cultivating enterprises with market prospects and development potential.
The establishment of an investment service company will provide enterprises with a platform for sustainable growth. If this broad economic vision can be realized, it will surely provide Dongtai with an unlimited future for its development.
There are many China Merchants Group companies across the country. Fang Zhicheng felt that if he wanted to stand out, he must have a pioneering spirit. Therefore, the prototype of Dongtai Investment Service Development Co., Ltd. gradually took shape about half a year after he took office. With such a company, Fang Zhicheng can do a lot of things. With the power of independent operation, the company can also become a source of profit, thereby feeding back the profits to the administrative functional department of China Merchants Group, forming a self-reliant situation.
If the Merchants Group can support itself, its status among all the directly affiliated institutions in the county will naturally rise.
Fang Zhicheng originally only intended to write an application for incentive funds for an investment promotion project, but the more he wrote, the more inspiration came to him, and he also wrote out a relatively detailed operating plan for Dongtai Investment Services Co., Ltd.
After re-proofreading, Fang Zhicheng looked up at the wall clock and found that it was already past six o'clock, and it was already past the time to get off work. Fang Zhicheng stretched his body and his phone vibrated. It was Zhong Yang calling, smiling and asking, "Mr. Cheng, are you free tonight? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much. How about meeting up?"
"Are you in Dongtai?" Fang Zhicheng just said this when he suddenly remembered that Song Wendi had asked Ding Feng to secretly investigate the illegal and disciplinary violations of Meng Fanchao, the county political and legal committee secretary. He guessed that Ding Feng had handed this difficult task to Zhong Yang again, and said with a smile, "Where are you? I'll treat you today!"
Half an hour later, Fang Zhicheng and Zhong Yang met at a Hunan restaurant. Zhong Yang had become much more vicissitudes of life recently, and his originally handsome face was still unshaved, which made him look more masculine. The two ordered a small bottle of Erguotou and a pickled fish hotpot and started eating and drinking.
Zhong Yang took a sip of white wine, smacked his lips twice, and suddenly patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder and sighed, "You are the one who caused this incident, right?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said softly, "Isn't this a chance for you to make a contribution?"
Zhong Yang shook his finger and said in a deep voice: "It's not that simple. As far as I know, Meng Fanchao is very cunning. The entire Dongtai County is completely controlled by him. And the Wang Tong mentioned in the information is a person who cannot be touched. I am dancing on the edge of a knife this time. If someone suddenly disappears from this world one day, Master Cheng, you must remember to send me good wine and food regularly on my memorial day every year."
Zhong Yang's words were half joking, but they also showed how difficult it would be to bring down Meng Fanchao. Fang Zhicheng frowned and asked, "Is it really that serious?"
Zhong Yang nodded and whispered, "Otherwise, with that material, why didn't Sun Weiming hand it over directly to the Commission for Discipline Inspection? He is very smart and knows that he can't defeat Meng Fanchao alone."
Fang Zhicheng thought about it and finally realized Sun Weiming's cunningness. He used a trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone. Unknowingly, he became the sharp knife in Sun Weiming's hand.
Fang Zhicheng took a big sip of white wine, his throat felt hot, and he said in a deep voice: "Old Zhong, we have confirmed that Meng Fanchao is a big tiger, a big borer parasitic in Dongtai County. Although we are not absolutely sure that we can completely eliminate him from the team, we will lose our courage before we do anything. That's not okay."
Zhong Yang was slightly startled, and he read the determination in Fang Zhicheng's eyes, which also aroused the heroic spirit in his heart. He also took a big sip of white wine and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, please rest assured, I will do my best to investigate this matter."
Fang Zhicheng knew that Zhong Yang's worry was just a momentary sigh. Which hero could truly be fearless of life and death? Zhong Yang had a heroic spirit in his bones, but facing the evil forces, it was inevitable that he would be temporarily shaken. Fang Zhicheng gave him a little encouragement, and Zhong Yang immediately became excited.
The two of them ate and drank for a while, and suddenly they started talking about women. Fang Zhicheng asked, "How are you and Wen Cui doing?"
Zhong Yang's face turned grim, he sighed and said, "What else can we do? Just drag it out."
Fang Zhicheng always felt that something was wrong with Zhong Yang. Now he knew the reason, and he resisted the urge to ask further. He guessed that Zhong Yang and Wen Cui had encountered some problems in their relationship. Love is a double-edged sword. Sometimes it is so sweet that it makes people feel sick, and sometimes it is so bitter that it makes people sick.
Zhong Yang drank four bottles of 250ml Erguotou and was immediately drunk. Fang Zhicheng dragged him into a taxi and booked a room for him in the guesthouse. During this time, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help feeling sad when he heard Zhong Yang calling Wen Cui's name in a daze. Although he didn't know what happened between the two, he thought that as a matchmaker, he still had to help them at this moment, so he took out Zhong Yang's mobile phone and called Wen Cui.
Wen Cui didn't answer at first, so Fang Zhicheng wrote down the number and called again with his own mobile phone. Wen Cui finally answered, and Fang Zhicheng said earnestly: "Wen Cui, this is Fang Zhicheng. No matter what problems you and Zhong Yang have now, I hope you will listen to what I say and believe that Zhong Yang loves you. He is drunk now and keeps saying your name. I think if you miss such a person, you will regret it in the end."
Wen Cui covered her mouth, choked for a long time, and said intermittently: "Brother Cheng, I know Zhong Yang is good to me, but it is impossible for us. The gap between us is too big. His future is limitless, and I can't drag him down."
Fang Zhicheng listened to Wen Cui's words and couldn't help but think of Qin Yuming. He said loudly, "You bunch of stupid women, why can't you think straight? If a man gives up his beloved woman for his future, even if he succeeds, what does it matter?"
In Wen Cui's eyes, Fang Zhicheng has always been a mild-tempered person. She didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to get so angry, and was slightly stunned. After a long time, she whispered, "Brother Cheng, do you think I should fight for it?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Everything depends on your heart, but if you don't fight for it, then there will be absolutely no future for the two of you."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Zhicheng helped Zhong Yang take off his shoes, poured a glass of boiled water and placed it on his bedside. After returning to his room, he went to the bathroom to flush the water because he was drunk, but found that there was no hot water, so Fang Zhicheng called the front desk. The waiter came to check and told Fang Zhicheng that the hot water supply system in the bathroom seemed to be broken.
Fang Zhicheng always felt uncomfortable if he didn't take a shower, so he wondered whether he should go to Zhong Yang's room to take a shower, but in the end he walked to the next room and rang Qi Yun's doorbell.
