It is true that Sun Weiming is Qi Yun's mentor, but as he became the municipal party secretary, his actions in some aspects are indeed questionable. Sun Weiming did his job well and interfered too much in government work, which also caused a lot of trouble for Qi Yun, the executive deputy county magistrate. Decisions made at the county magistrate's office meeting were often pushed back to the starting point because of Sun Weiming, which led to a slowdown in work efficiency, which was far less efficient than before.
Qi Yun was a dispatched official, and her organizational relationship was in the province, so she did not need to stand in the same line as other officials. Qi Yun was grateful to Sun Weiming for promoting her, but she was also worried about his inflated ambitions. Now, because of Fang Zhicheng, she began to gradually change her mind and tried to stay away from Sun Weiming, because she could not agree with Sun Weiming's management style in her heart.
No one ever mentioned the adjustment plan of the investment promotion company again, as if it had never happened.
By the end of the month, the official website of the county personnel bureau posted a job opening for Dongtai Merchant Investment Service Company, totaling 30 positions. The positions mainly include management elites in finance, operations, planning, personnel, finance and other departments, as well as grassroots personnel such as business representatives, customer service representatives, and administrative staff. The recruitment requirements are relatively high, and the salary and benefits are far higher than those of general public institutions.
The office of Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. is temporarily arranged in the same building. It is still part of the Merchants Bureau, but the number of staff has actually exceeded that of the Merchants Bureau. It is expected that by the end of the year, nearly 100 employees will be added. Fang Zhicheng plans to set up the future office of the Merchants Company in the new commercial project of Qi's Group. Now finding a temporary office space is just a stopgap measure in the development.
China Merchants Group will eventually be completely separated from China Merchants Group and become a market-competitive investment and financing platform. However, we must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time, and often we need to settle down and accumulate.
The commercial projects of Qi's Group have already shown their basic outlines. Two iconic buildings stand in the city center and the east of the city. Huijin Commercial Plaza in the city center of Dongtai is positioned as a high-end business and trade center, while the east of the city is mainly a super five-star hotel and supporting leisure and entertainment. Qi's Group has demonstrated its strong operational capabilities. The project has not yet been completed, but it has already attracted a large number of brands to settle in. Once successfully activated, it will instantly enhance the commercial vitality of Dongtai.
Chapter 0282 Jiang Wenlan inspects Dongtai
Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. was officially launched, with Fang Zhicheng as the chairman and Li Hui as the general manager. It was operated completely in a corporate model. Although some of the staff were still government employees, they only accounted for about 10%, and all of them were young people. The scale of the Merchants Company expanded rapidly, from the original 20 or so people to more than 100 people. What was mysterious was that the Merchants Company had a director who had never met. Everyone guessed her identity through her surname, and she had a relationship with the Yinzhou Ye family.
At the same time, some rumors spread in Dongtai that "Fang Zhicheng is very likely to be the son-in-law of the Ye family." However, this rumor is difficult to understand, because the direct conflict between the Song and Ye factions is well known to the officials in Yinzhou. Fang Zhicheng is a member of the Song faction. If he becomes the son-in-law of the Ye family, this is completely illogical!
Of course, some people also think that this is a sign that the Song and Ye factions have temporarily made peace. After more than a year of fighting, the Song and Ye factions have returned to peace, and the two factions are mainly cooperating and no longer confronting each other.
No matter what the reason is, Dongtai has become the most dazzling star in Yinzhou.
Since last year, Dongtai has made breakthroughs in attracting investment, not only attracting world-class chaebols such as the Qi Group, but also setting up offices in Yunhai and Shenzhou. Shenzhou's market development work is easier than expected, because it targets dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises, which are very sensitive to policies. After sensing Dongtai's potential, they have expressed their willingness to set up branches in Dongtai, and even many companies are willing to relocate their headquarters to Dongtai.
The biggest advantages of various innovative enterprises from Shenzhou flowing into Dongtai are two points. First, it has subverted the original business structure of Dongtai. The original enterprises were mainly engaged in production and manufacturing. Now Dongtai Economic and Technological Development Zone has gathered a group of competitive high-tech enterprises covering software, microelectronics, computer networks, communication technology and other fields; second, these innovative enterprises provide potential customers for Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. Merchants mainly aim to incubate and cultivate enterprises, so these high-growth enterprises undoubtedly provide a suitable soil for the growth and development of the Merchants Company.
If the enterprises brought by Shenzhou Office are compared to nutrients, then the enterprises brought by Yunhai Office are seeds. Yunhai Office has demonstrated its strong ability to attract investment. Within half a year, it has reached cooperation intentions with more than a dozen projects with a total investment of over 100 million yuan. It is expected to successfully sign projects with a total investment of over 8 billion yuan within the year.
The two offices worked together to successfully attract investment from Dongtai beyond the region and into the competition in big cities. According to Fang Zhicheng's idea, more offices will be opened next year to introduce the successful model of the two offices to other offices. The new offices will include Yanjing Office, Wenhu Office, Qiongjin Office, Nanjin Office, etc.
The cost of the office is not high, as it mainly serves the role of matchmaking, but the actual effect it brings is indeed gratifying, which has also increased Fang Zhicheng's determination to promote the construction of investment promotion outlets.
After the head-on confrontation with Sun Weiming, he no longer took any targeted measures. Fang Zhicheng knew that this was only a brief calm, and Sun Weiming was just waiting for an opportunity, so he could not relax easily.
What makes Fang Zhicheng feel at ease is that Qi Yun will play a transitional role in the middle. She will stand on his side, so that he will not be caught off guard by Sun Weiming's sudden difficulties.
At the end of August, Jiang Wenlan and his team came to Dongtai for research. The municipal party committee attached great importance to it, and both the municipal party committee secretary Song Wendi and the mayor Zhang Guoxin attended and accompanied them. In addition, the province also sent executive vice governor Zhao Guoyi and heavyweights from the Commerce Bureau, Economic and Trade Commission and other departments to accompany them.
With so many high-level officials around, Fang Zhicheng naturally seemed insignificant.
The reception work was handled by the beautiful county head Qi Yun in Dongtai. She wore a white short-sleeved shirt, a black hip-wrapped skirt, flesh-colored stockings and black high-heeled shoes. Her gestures exuded a solemn and elegant atmosphere. Facing the leaders' questions, Qi Yun answered them in an orderly manner. Qi Yun's good image undoubtedly added a lot to Dongtai's image.
In fact, according to normal rules, it should be the county magistrate Xing Jike who should be responsible for the reception work and receive the inspection team together with Sun Weiming. However, Sun Weiming obviously did not want Xing Jike to be in the limelight, so he pushed Qi Yun to the front.
Qi Yun also made good use of this meeting and demonstrated her excellent qualities and language expression skills in front of Jiang Wenlan and many leaders.
The crowd finally arrived at Huijin Commercial Plaza. Jiang Wenlan pointed to a street in the southeast and said to Zhao Guoyi with a smile, "Governor Zhao, if I want that street, would you be willing?"
Zhao Guoyi shook his head and said with a smile, "This is not something I can promise. Secretary Wendi, Mr. Wen Lan has asked you for land. What do you think?"
Song Wendi pretended to be embarrassed, then smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I can't make this decision yet. I need to ask the local officials in Dongtai. We don't know the local situation. It's easy to make promises, but if we fail to implement them in the future, we will be held responsible."
After finishing his words, Song Wendi waved to Sun Weiming and said with a smile, "Comrade Weiming, Mr. Wen Lan came to inspect the actual situation in Dongtai this time and took a fancy to an old street next to Huijin Commercial Plaza. I wonder if it is okay?"
Sun Weiming's eyes showed joy, and he nodded quickly and said, "Mr. Wen Lan wants to invest in Dongtai, of course we welcome him. This street next to Huijin Commercial Plaza is already in the government's plan, and it is going to be demolished and renovated by the end of the year. In the future, it was originally planned to be made into a characteristic cultural ancient street. If Mr. Wen Lan is willing to invest, it would be the best thing, and the government will definitely give strong support."
Jiang Wenlan smiled and nodded, saying, "Dongtai has a very good location advantage. It is connected to Yunhai in the east, Huainan in the west, and Zheyuan in the south. It has convenient transportation and is an excellent place to conduct business. Here I also make a promise to all leaders. Within five years, Dongtai will have another title, that is, 'Golden City'."
The simple four words, Golden City, made everyone excited. Jiang Wenlan didn't say much, but she let everyone know that the Golden Street project had settled in Dongtai.
Fang Zhicheng followed behind. He couldn't see clearly what was happening in front, but he could read good information from the smiles on everyone's faces. In order to welcome the inspection team's investigation, Dongtai County had made a lot of preparations. As long as no mistakes occurred, it would not affect the final result.
At some point, Qi Yu came to Fang Zhicheng's side, nudged him gently with her arm, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
Qi's Group also arranged personnel to join the inspection team for this inspection activity, and Qi Yu was one of the representatives. Qi's Group will be one of the partners of the Golden Street project, responsible for the preparation, investment promotion and operation of the project. If the Golden Street is arranged in Huijin Commercial Plaza, it will form a compatible project chain in Dongtai, and after integrating resources, it will be more competitive.
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said, "It's calmer than I thought!"
Qi Yu was slightly startled and sighed: "You are such a boring person. You are indifferent to the good news that the Golden Street project is settled in Dongtai."
Fang Zhicheng let out a long sigh and said calmly: "Before the contract is signed, everything will change. It's not time to be really excited yet."
Qi Yu curled her lips and spat, "You really know how to pretend to be profound."
Fang Zhicheng smiled, glanced at Qi Yu, and said: "On this matter, I have to thank you on behalf of Dongtai. Without the support of Qi Group, it would be difficult for Dongtai to win this project."
Fang Zhicheng spoke from the bottom of his heart. If Dongtai County Government competed alone, it would not be able to attract Jiang Wenlan's attention. Qi Group took Dongtai's 4 billion project to negotiate with Jiang Wenlan, which strengthened Jiang Wenlan's determination.
Qi Yu glanced at Fang Zhicheng and smiled, "As you said, the Qi Group needs to cooperate with the government to form a whole so that it can develop more smoothly in the mainland. Mr. Jiang Wenlan not only values the Qi Group, but also the potential of Dongtai."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, looking at the distance where several leaders were standing, and remained silent. Qi Yu looked over from the side and found that Fang Zhicheng was actually very handsome, with dark wheat-colored skin, tall stature, thin cheeks, and small but bright eyes.
Fang Zhicheng felt his face burning, as if he was being watched. He turned his head to look at Qi Yu, and happened to meet her eyes. He subconsciously touched his left cheek and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Qi Yu's face flushed, and he lowered his head quickly, shook his head, and smiled: "Nothing..."
After the inspection, everyone attended a banquet at the County Party Committee Guesthouse. Fang Zhicheng was only a section-level cadre, but considering that he was the promoter of the Golden Street project, the County Party Committee Office still ordered Fang Zhicheng to attend the banquet as well.
