Deng Boyu coughed and asked, "Comrade Zhicheng, is he in Dongtai? If not in Dongtai, we will go directly to the China Merchants Group and then go to Dongtai China Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. for inspection." Judging from Deng Boyu's expression, he was quite dissatisfied with Sun Weiming. Making the two distinguished guests wait for a long time was obviously not the right way to entertain guests.
Deng Boyu still thinks highly of Sun Weiming. When he was still the county magistrate, Deng Boyu took a fancy to his strength and ability. However, he was particularly disappointed today. He felt that Sun Weiming was still too slow in handling problems and lacked the decisiveness of a young cadre.
Sun Weiming didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't just say that Fang Zhicheng was in the Investment Promotion Bureau and just deliberately refused to attend the meeting. What would that mean for him as the county party secretary? It was a huge joke that a county party secretary couldn't transfer a director of the Investment Promotion Bureau.
But if Deng Boyu and others rushed to the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company together and happened to run into Fang Zhicheng, wouldn't that be a contradiction
Sun Weiming could only explain: "I just called to confirm. Deputy Director Li Hui answered the phone. Fang Zhicheng has returned from his business trip. He just has something to do temporarily. Please wait for a while. He should be here soon."
Sun Weiming was betting that Fang Zhicheng should be able to clearly understand the consequences of the anger he and Li Hui had just expressed.
Xing Jike remained silent and watched coldly. After all, the incident was caused by the conflict between Sun Weiming and Fang Zhicheng, and he didn't need to clean up the mess for Sun Weiming.
After waiting for another seven or eight minutes, Sun Weiming finally couldn't sit still anymore and approached Xing Jike, whispering, "Comrade Jike, today's matter concerns the reputation of our Dongtai County. How about you come forward and help coordinate it?"
This was the first time since Sun Weiming and Xing Jike teamed up that Sun Weiming had let go of his attitude. Xing Jike felt indescribably happy. He remained calm and nodded, saying, "I'll go out and make a phone call and urge them again!"
When Xing Jike called, Fang Zhicheng was a little surprised. He had conflicts with Sun Weiming, but he didn't offend Xing Jike.
Fang Zhicheng smiled humbly and said, "Hello, County Magistrate Jike!"
"Zhicheng, I'm not okay at all!" Xing Jike's tone was very relaxed, completely different from Sun Weiming's. Fang Zhicheng's actions today could be regarded as helping him vent his anger. He said with a humorous smile, "Mayor Deng and his team are waiting for you to come and report on your work. If you don't come to save the situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the county magistrate for much longer."
"Ah?" Fang Zhicheng pretended to be surprised and said repeatedly, "People have three urgent needs! I just went to the toilet and didn't receive Secretary Weiming's call. What a coincidence! I'm coming over now, please wait for a moment, leaders."
Xing Jike saw that Fang Zhicheng gave him enough face, and he thought to himself that this kid was quite capable, and immediately turned and went into the meeting room. About two minutes later, Fang Zhicheng opened the door breathlessly, with an anxious and ashamed look on his face, and said, "I'm really sorry, leaders, I've kept you waiting for so long."
Chapter 0280: Patience for a while and peace
After Fang Zhicheng entered the room, Li Hui followed him in, holding a notebook in her arms. Fang Zhicheng walked to the multimedia imaging equipment and adjusted it for a while, then gave Li Hui a look. Li Hui walked to the wall and turned off most of the lights in the conference room. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "First of all, please watch a promotional video. Through this promotional video, everyone will have a general understanding of the investment promotion company."
The promotional video was produced some time ago. It has a brisk rhythm, heavy music, steady dubbing and rich content. It vividly and comprehensively introduces Dongtai's current investment promotion situation, describes Dongtai's investment promotion advantages delicately and emotionally, and sincerely and steadily explains Dongtai's future development momentum, which is refreshing to everyone present.
No one in the meeting room, including Sun Weiming, had ever seen the promotional video, so the shock it brought was imaginable. The promotional video was not long, but it systematically introduced Dongtai and expressed the investment promotion concept more thoroughly than the government promotional video.
After the promotional video ended, Deng Boyu applauded in advance, and the others also nodded in approval.
Deng Boyu sighed, "Comrade Weiming, it is still very rewarding to come to Dongtai today. I have an unwelcome request. I want to take your Dongtai investment promotion video to the city so that everyone can learn from it. Dongtai's investment promotion work is good, and it is not just luck. From the promotional video, I can feel your vitality."
Sun Weiming did not expect Fang Zhicheng to come up with such a weighty promotional video at once, diverting the attention of many leaders. He smiled and said, "It is our honor that Mayor Boyu is willing to recommend Dongtai in the city."
Deng Boyu nodded, turned around and said to Wen Feng, "President Wen, what do you think?"
Wen Feng smiled and said, "Zhicheng, although you made us wait a little longer, it was still worth it. I also have confidence in Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. This time, the provincial bank cooperated with the merchant company to establish a novel local enterprise incubation platform, which was highly praised by Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee. I originally came to Dongtai for this investigation with trepidation, but after watching Dongtai's investment promotion video, I was full of confidence. Because you have a clear idea and advanced concept, the combination of banks and government platforms into a financing platform, this new model will definitely create miracles."
Ye Mingjing then expressed his opinion and said with a smile: "I feel the same as President Wen. Before coming here, I was also skeptical, but after today's understanding, Jiayu Guarantee Company once again promised to provide auxiliary work for Dongtai and build a safe and healthy bridge between enterprises and banks."
Deng Boyu was a little shocked to see that both of them gave high praise. Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing represented two major forces in Yinzhou. Wen Feng was the wife of Song Wendi, the party secretary, and the number one person in the provincial banking system; Ye Mingjing was a well-known heavyweight businessman in Huainan, and the spokesperson of the Ye family behind Zhang Guoxin in Yinzhou.
Deng Boyu was a little confused as to why Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. could get support from both the Song and Ye factions. He could understand why Wenfeng supported Fang Zhicheng, after all, Fang Zhicheng was Song Wendi's secretary. However, why did Ye Mingjing support Fang Zhicheng so unremittingly? What signal did this represent? Could it be that Song Wendi and Zhang Guoxin had made peace
It was not only Deng Boyu who could not understand the current situation. Sun Weiming was also full of doubts because Ye Mingjing's arrival was too unexpected for him. And from Ye Mingjing's attitude, it can be seen that he valued Fang Zhicheng very much and had high hopes for the investment company.
Sun Weiming actually felt regretful, mainly because he underestimated Fang Zhicheng and did not have a detailed understanding of the progress of China Merchants Bank. He only knew that China Merchants Bank found a very qualified guarantee company during the cooperation, but he did not expect that this company was controlled by the Ye family.
Sun Weiming hit a wall, and it was two walls, attacking him from both sides. If Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing knew that the control of the Merchants Investment Company was going to be adjusted, what would be the consequences? Sun Weiming had no idea what would happen.
Fang Zhicheng adopted an extremely strong approach in this confrontation and invited two heavyweights, forcing Sun Weiming to reconsider his previous decision. Although there was no obvious fighting, the effect was stronger than he had imagined.
Sun Weiming originally thought that he had absolute control over Dongtai, but now he knows that there are still uncontrollable factors within his control. He cannot easily interfere in the Dongtai Investment Promotion Bureau, otherwise the negative impact it brings may be beyond his prediction.
At the same time, Sun Weiming completely lost the desire to win over Fang Zhicheng, because he knew that this was a wild horse that he could not control at all. This also deepened Sun Weiming's fear of Fang Zhicheng.
Xing Jike, who had a completely different mentality from the top leader, saw his own light from today's meeting. He originally thought that Dongtai County was a solid block, but now he found that Sun Weiming was not without flaws and weaknesses. Fang Zhicheng was the most unstable factor in the seemingly stable situation. If he made good use of the current situation, he might be able to gain an opportunity to reverse the current passive situation.
In fact, Fang Zhicheng was the most surprised. He did not expect Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing to come to Dongtai in person. His original plan was that the two would arrange a representative to come to Dongtai to talk with Sun Weiming, so as to shock Sun Weiming and make him change his intention to adjust the control of the investment promotion company. However, Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing gave him too much face. When they came in person, they also asked the executive vice mayor Deng Boyu to accompany them. He saw Sun Weiming's attitude and emotions, and was afraid that he was stunned by his powerful counterattack.
Several people chatted in the conference room for a while, and then went to the Merchants Bureau and the Merchants Company for research. Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing would whisper to Fang Zhicheng from time to time, which fell into Sun Weiming's eyes and contained other signals. Fang Zhicheng's relationship with the two was too special.
The survey was very good, and it also boosted the confidence of the employees and dispelled the doubts in everyone's mind. Huaxia Bank and the guarantee company came to investigate and confirmed that the adjustment of the investment promotion company was not true. Through this behavior, those who are interested in the situation can vaguely guess that Fang Zhicheng has won the arm wrestling with the county party committee this time.
After the investigation, Sun Weiming hosted a banquet at the county party committee guesthouse to entertain everyone. According to common sense, Fang Zhicheng was only a section-level cadre and did not meet the requirements, but Sun Weiming still secretly instructed someone to let Fang Zhicheng accompany him.
Sun Weiming learned his lesson this time. He knew that Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing came for Fang Zhicheng. If Fang Zhicheng did not attend this lunch, he would obviously not have the confidence to deal with Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing.
Sun Weiming was also a very smooth person. He was not the kind of person who would lose his mind because of anger. Since Fang Zhicheng had won, he would take a step back so that he could have a way out.
Take a step back and the sky will be broad; be patient and the sea will be calm.
The adjustment plan of the investment promotion company is only an internal issue of Dongtai County. There is no need to expose internal conflicts to outsiders.
Fang Zhicheng was also a person with a sense of the overall situation. Although there was a gap between him and Sun Weiming, he still disguised himself well in front of the guests, gave Sun Weiming enough face, and created the illusion of unprecedented unity in Dongtai County.
Wen Feng did not drink, but ordered coconut milk. She was the highest-ranking official among the people present, so she naturally received special attention from everyone. After the other leaders toasted Wen Feng, Fang Zhicheng walked to her and said with a smile: "President Wen, thank you for coming to Dongtai in your busy schedule. In the future, please pay more attention to the development of Dongtai and give us support and encouragement from a financial perspective."
Wen Feng nodded and smiled, "Zhicheng, you are being a little euphemistic and not direct enough. I know what you want and what Dongtai needs. I came to Dongtai this time to give you a reassurance. A few days ago, I met with Secretary Siyuan. He also paid special attention to Dongtai and believed that the provincial bank should give you priority in credit policy. For this reason, I also promised that the provincial bank will definitely provide you with financial support and help you move forward in great strides."
Although Wenfeng's words were just a glimpse without specifying the details, others could hear the hidden meaning. If the bank can give a certain preference in credit policy, it will certainly reduce the pressure on enterprises in applying for loans, such as loan interest, loan repayment period, mortgage process, etc. If there is support from the bank in this regard, the activity of Dongtai enterprises will be greatly improved, which will in turn stimulate the environment for attracting investment.
