Lu Xin smiled and clinked glasses with Sun Shouyi, and said, "Thank you Mayor Sun."
The two each drank a sip of wine and then ate some dishes. Sun Shouyi put down his chopsticks, looked at Lu Xin and said, "Has Mr. Lu already seen the old city reconstruction project?"
Lu Xin smiled and said, "Yes, Ding Yi and Wu Quan have watched the progress of the project with me this afternoon."
Ding Yi smiled and said: "Wu Quan and I both admire Mr. Lu’s professionalism. Originally, we wanted him to be tired from the journey and wanted him to rest and wait for the construction site tomorrow. We didn’t expect that he would insist on going to the construction site tomorrow. Look, I haven't had much rest at all."
Lu Xin smiled and said: "In Hong Kong, time is money. I am anxious to see the progress of the project, which is also saving money for myself."
Sun Shouyi smiled and nodded, and said, "It’s no wonder that Mr. Lu’s business is so big. It turns out that you are such a time-efficient person. Ding Yiwuquan, you two are really blessed to cooperate with Mr. Lu this time. Take this opportunity to learn more from Mr. Lu his experience in doing business."
Wu Quan smiled and said, "Mayor, we are learning."
Sun Shouyi looked at Lu Xin again and said, "Mr. Lu, now that you have seen the progress of the project, how about it? Are you satisfied?"
Lu Xin shook his head and said, "To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with the slow progress of the project. It is impossible to continue like this. Mayor, can you help us with this?"
Sun Shouyi smiled and said, "What's the matter, Ding Yi, what caused the slow progress of your project? I remember that some demolition issues have been resolved."
Ding Yi smiled bitterly, and said: "In fact, we have already made progress very quickly, but Mr. Lu doesn't understand some of the approval procedures for some of our projects in the Mainland. You know this mayor. To start construction, it needs the approval of many departments. , These departments did not stamp the relevant documents, and some things would be difficult to do."
Sun Shouyi looked at Lu Xin and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I can help Ding Yiwuquan and the others say a few good things. Their operation is already very efficient. Some aspects of the city government have given them the green light as much as possible. But some procedures must be reached, so it will take some time."
Lu Xin smiled and said, "I know, but Mayor Sun, your approval procedure involves too many departments. I counted dozens of official seals, and this procedure is too cumbersome. Can you simplify it for us?"
Sun Shouyi smiled and said: "Simplification is impossible, because it involves the country's policy and regulations. However, I can help you supervise and let the relevant departments speed up the approval process."
Lu Xin smiled and said, "Then I thank Mayor Sun in advance. Come, Mayor Sun, I respect you for this glass of wine and thank you for your support of this project."
Sun Shouyi smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, don’t say thank you for being so kind. This project is also related to the urban construction of Haichuan. Let us all work together to build it. Ding Yiwuquan, don’t just look at it. Let's drink one together."
Ding Yi and Wu Quan also raised their wine glasses, and the four of them touched the glasses and took a sip of wine each. Sun Shouyi looked at Lu Xin again and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, this time you come to Haichuan, wouldn't it be as simple as just checking the progress of the project?"
Lu Xin smiled and said: "Yes, Mayor Sun, I also want to take a look at the investment environment of Haichuan City, and then decide whether to continue investing. Originally I was very dissatisfied with the progress of the project, but fortunately Haichuan City With an enlightened and capable leader like your Mayor Sun, I have confidence in the economic development of Haichuan City. To you, I am willing to continue investing."
Sun Shouyi smiled and said: "That's really thankful to Mr. Lu for his trust in my Sun. On behalf of the Haichuan Municipal Party Committee and Government, I would like to thank you for your support to the economic construction of Haichuan."
Lu Xin smiled and said: "Mayor Sun will not speak this kind of official words in front of me in the future. I don't like this kind of cliché. I am willing to cooperate with you to invest in Haichuan. People, I think you are frank and righteous, and you have a temper with me. I think you know my background, right?"
Sun Shouyi smiled and said, "I know, but I don't think this prevents us from welcoming you in Haichuan?"
Lu Xin smiled and said: "When I go to the mainland, many local leaders welcome me, but I can see that they welcome my money, not me. They want me to invest, but they are worried. My complicated background will cause some damage to them.
They want me to invest, but they worry that my complicated background will cause them some degree of damage. So they are enthusiastic about me on the surface, but they keep a distance in their hearts. So their enthusiasm is a bit fake. But your Mayor Sun is different. Even in the meeting in Beijing, you didn't deliberately avoid me because of my complicated background. This is what a true friend did. "
Sun Shouyi smiled and said: "If you have been in contact for a long time, you will understand me. I will not say that I am going to make friends with you, but I am full of guard against you in my heart. I don't care what your background is. As long as you come to Haichuan to make a legitimate investment, it is your support to the work of the municipal government and me. I welcome and sincerely thank you. Mr. Lu, I admit that the current Haichuan is not doing well enough in some aspects, just like you said The problem that the approval process is too cumbersome does exist. But I promise you here that I will do my best to help you solve these problems. You are also welcome to report the difficulties encountered to me at any time, and I will To provide due services for you investors who are here to invest."
"Okay," Lu Xin said with a smile, "With Mayor Sun's promise, I will have more confidence in my investment in Haichuan. Mayor Sun, your friend, I have agreed. If you have anything to do in the future, you need my help. Yes, just tell me, I will try my best."
For Sun Shouyi's current situation, Lu Xin's words are full of fatal temptation. He knows that as long as he speaks, he no longer needs to borrow money for the down payment of the house. However, despite Lu Xin's enthusiasm, Sun Shouyi didn't make Sun Shouyi forget the warning Deng Zifeng told him about Lu Xin.
No matter how enthusiastic Lu Xin is, he cannot change the fact that he is a dangerous person. Sun Shouyi and him are only willing to stay above the proper level, and he still wants to avoid things under the table.
Sun Shouyi smiled and said: "Mr. Nalu, we will be friends in the future. As a friend, I hope you can support my work more. For example, increase investment in Ding Yi and Wu Quan's companies so that we can Haichuan’s old city reconstruction project will be completed as soon as possible."
Lu Xin laughed and said, "Mayor Sun, you are looking for opportunities. Then, I can increase the investment, but you must promise to quickly help us get the approval procedures. Only our two sides work together to make this project In order to proceed faster and better."
Sun Shouyi smiled and said: "Okay, I can promise you that, when I look back, I will hold a working meeting of the city government to study the approval of the old city reconstruction project. Then I will find a way to get the city government to form a resolution to deal with the old city. The implementation of special affairs for urban renewal projects should save the procedures as much as possible, so as to complete the approval procedures for you in the shortest time. How about, are you satisfied with Mr. Lu?"
The reason why Sun Shouyi agreed so happily is not entirely because of Lu Xin. Among them, it is also a reward for the support of Ding Jiang, Ding Yi and his sons when he elected the mayor. His mayoral election can be so smooth, among which is the support of Ding and Shu Tao.
Now he has promised to give Shu Tao the nitrogen fertilizer plant project, which is regarded as a return to Shu Tao. On the side of Ding's father and son, he hasn't found a way to return. Now Lu Xin raised this question, and it happened to give Sun Shouyi a chance to make a return. Therefore, he decided to help the old city reconstruction project to smooth out some unnecessary troubles, so that the Ding family could get more from this project. income.
Sun Shouyi knows very well in his heart that those who are currently doing engineering projects are like Tang Seng meat for some related departments. Almost every department is doing goose plucking. Right at this time has become a rent-seeking tool for some people. Even if you do everything right, he may not allow you to pass your approval. You are not allowed to pay a certain price to let power Only when the owner gets the benefits will you get the approval smoothly.
At this time, the only thing that can avoid these power rent-seeking spaces is greater power, and you need to use greater power to suppress them, so that those power holders dare not seek rent, in order to solve these unnecessary troubles. What Sun Shouyi now envisions is to escort the old city reconstruction project through the municipal government, so that the relevant departments will not dare to take advantage of Ding Yi and the others, and speed up the approval of corresponding projects.
Ding Yi and Wu Quan understood the stakes. They heard Sun Shouyi’s promise, and their eyes lit up. Ding Yi said: "Mr. Lu, the mayor agreed to do this, but it is very important to our project. I believe that with his support, the progress of our project will definitely speed up a lot."
Lu Xin smiled and said: "That's really thank you, Ding Yi and Wu Quan, the three of us pay tribute to Mayor Sun. Thank you Mayor Sun for his strong support of our project."
Ding Yi and Wu Quan raised the glass with Lu Xin. Sun Shouyi smiled and touched the glass with the three of them, and said: "I'll see you if you say thank you. We are working together to build this project, and we toast for a happy cooperation. Right."
