afternoon.
The temperature has gone up a bit.
Several fans in the China Merchants Bureau office area were spinning, blowing wind. The only window air conditioner was broken and has not been repaired.
A little hot.
But still within the tolerable range.
After speaking, Dong Xuebin sat down and worked with everyone. They worked overtime, and Dong Xuebin also worked overtime. That's exactly what I did, very seriously. The office was full of busy sounds. There were people typing, people making phone calls, and people printing documents. Everyone was mobilized. Maybe they were forced out. Dong Xuebin gave Tianzao first and then The trick of giving Bang Chui made everyone feel anxious.
At this time, Zheng Dayou found Dong Xuebin.
"County Magistrate Dong."
"Old Zheng, what's wrong?"
"Can you take a step to speak?"
"Okay, let's go to your office."
In the director's office, the two walked in and closed the door.
Dong Xuebin sat on the sofa, took out two cigarettes and handed one to Zheng Dayou. They both lit up their cigarettes and started puffing away in the room.
"Old Zheng, tell me." Dong Xuebin said.
Zheng Dayou hesitated, "Everyone was here before, so I didn't have the nerve to say anything. County Magistrate Dong, I tell you the truth, so don't listen to me. I know that the county is in difficulty now and urgently needs long-term financial supplements such as attracting investment. In this way, Only then can we have a chance to fundamentally reverse the financial shortage of our county. I understand that. But the problem is that the actual situation of our county is too bad. You have also seen the past results of the China Merchants Bureau, which is five million, an average of five million per year. Last year’s ** million was the best year in recent years. Now the county wants us to raise 50 million. I understand this policy directive, but we are beyond our capabilities. How can we get this 50 million?”
Dong Xuebin said: "There will always be a way."
Zheng Dayou smiled bitterly, "I really don't think of a way. The city investment promotion meeting is a good opportunity, but it is already very good to attract an investment of three to five million. It was like this last year. Fifty million, in one month, it is basically It’s impossible to complete. When the county investigates it, then…”
Dong Xuebin said calmly: "If it is really not completed, I will bear the responsibility. Lao Zheng, I know you are under pressure, and I will make it clear to you. I proposed this investment plan, and I will be the only one responsible for it." I can take it. It has nothing to do with you."
"County Magistrate Dong, that's not what I meant. I'm not afraid of taking responsibility, but the problem is... I simply don't see our ability to attract 50 million."
…
Outside.
As soon as the two leaders left. Everyone also started chirping.
"Do we really want to raise 50 million?"
"Fifty million, this is the performance of our China Merchants Bureau in ten years!"
"Yes, this is too exaggerated. Where can we finish it?"
"But County Magistrate Dong has said it, and the county has also issued tasks. If you can't complete them, you have to do it."
"Sigh. I don't know if our position will be... I guess it will be suspended if the responsibility is investigated."
The Organization Department has just conducted an inspection, and the appointment should be announced tomorrow. This position that has not been warmed up yet will be moved in a month
No one can accept it in their heart.
This is called going from luxury to simplicity.
After a while, Zheng Dayou came out of the office. Everyone just shut up and continued to work on the things at hand. Everyone can see from Zheng Dayou's expression that Director Zheng also has no confidence at all. After all, he has worked in the China Merchants Bureau for so many years. Doesn't he still know what is going on in his own county? However, expressions were expressions, and Zheng Dayou was still careless and careless in his actions. Seeing Chen Yunsong hand over a live mobile phone and making a gesture, Zheng Dayou cleared his throat and picked it up, and began to encourage investors to come over.
…
in.
Dong Xuebin did not go out in the office. Instead, he sat on the sofa and put out his cigarette butts, closing his eyes and meditating for a while. Dong Xuebin saw everyone's emotions and knew what they were thinking, but Dong Xuebin was not infected by their unconfident expressions. When he was in Yantai County, the indicators given to them by the investment promotion agency were much higher than this. Although the actual situation of the two counties cannot be compared. Strictly speaking, it is more than ten times more difficult to attract investment in Zhenshui County than in Yantai County. However, Dong Xuebin has always come out of difficulties step by step. He is used to this. There is no pressure, and he has a certain degree of confidence in his own abilities. He knows many investors.
Not a few days left.
Make some phone calls to those old friends.
Seeing that there was no progress at all, Dong Xuebin felt that he had to take action. If he could call in a few big investors, it would also give reassurance to the comrades in the county and the Investment Promotion Bureau.
Toot toot.
The call was made.
"Hello, Xue Bin?"
"Brother Mu, it's me."
"Haha, is something wrong?"
"Is it convenient for you to talk? I have something to ask you."
"It's convenient, just tell me."
Dong Xuebin first called Mu Zhengzhong, a big boss, philanthropist, and cultural relic appraisal expert who had his own museum in the capital. The national treasure that Dong Xuebin snatched back from Country R was given to Mu Zhengzhong to exchange for it. Several cultural relics of the Republic, because of this favor owed by Mu Zhengzhong, Lao Mu later gave Dong Xuebin face at the Yantai County investment promotion meeting, invested a lot of money in Yantai County, and won Dong Xuebin a fortune He had great political achievements, and it was also because of this reason that he was promoted unusually later.
"That's right. I've been transferred to Zhenshui County. You may not know it. It's a national-level poverty-stricken county in the west. Now I'm focused on attracting investment. Do you think you can come over and help if it's convenient this weekend? Brother, do you want me to support you?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Mu Zhengzhong said: "Hey, I have something to do on the weekend."
Dong Xuebin: "What about next week? The investment fair will take two weeks."
"I may not be able to spare time next week. Xuebin, I can't help you this time. Let me tell you clearly. Wasn't that investment in Yantai County followed by an earthquake? The investment has already started. As a result, I suffered a huge loss, almost all my money was wasted, and I now have a lot of financial problems.”
Dong Xuebin apologized: "I'm so sorry."
Mu Zhengzhong said: "It's okay, I don't blame you, you don't know when the earthquake will happen? Besides, the money is also a favor I owe you, it doesn't matter."
"If you can't come, could you please introduce some of your friends to us? We've covered all the air tickets, food and accommodation, as long as you have the intention to invest."
"Which county are you in?"
"Zhenshui County belongs to Meihe City."
"I know Meihe City. That place? It's probably a little remote. I don't think they'll go there. So, let me ask for you."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"For now, I have something else to do."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebin, who had a bad start, didn't say anything and continued to fight Park Yongxi, a master of Taekwondo from Country H.
"Hello, Teacher Park?"
"Is it Xiaodong?"
"It's me, where are you now?"
"Is there something going on in country H?"
"Well, we have an investment fair next week. Would you be honored to invite you?"
"Hey, don't mention the investment fair. The venue we invested with your county last time collapsed when it was less than half built. After the earthquake, some workers died."
"It's up to me, I'm sorry."
"It's not your responsibility. Alas, I caught up."
"That's right. Actually, I'm not calling to ask you to invest. We've never known each other before, and we've been friends for such a long time. I just want to invite you to come over and help me support the scene. Do you think?"
"Next time, I really don't have time these days."
"It's not far away if you fly over. It's only a few hours. We'll have the air tickets..."
"Next time, I have a competition next week."
"Then, can you introduce other investors from your country to us? We have policies for foreign investment, and there must be great discounts."
"The reconstruction work in Yantai County is still..."
"It's no longer Yantai County. I now work with Zhenshui County in the west."
"The West? No need to ask. My friends will definitely not go there. If they want to invest, they are also interested in the first and second tier cities in your country."
"Uh, okay, I won't disturb you then. I'll contact you later. You must come to the Republic when you have time. You must find me. I will treat you to dinner then."
"OK."
The post-disaster reconstruction in Yantai County has not yet been completed. Dong Xuebin's previous investment promotion has indeed tricked many friends. He actually survived the regret. After a few phone calls, Dong Xuebin also knew that their life was not easy. , a lot of money was lost, even if the foundation was not damaged, it was still a large sum. After people laid out the reasons, Dong Xuebin had nothing to say and could only call others.
one…
three…
five…
In one afternoon, Dong Xuebin made more than a dozen calls, but without exception, they all hit a snag. No one was willing to come. Those old friends and investors who had been in contact with each other in the past, when they heard that Dong Xuebin was going to attract investment, or that they were in a national-level poverty-stricken county, they immediately either said that the capital turnover was not available or that they had something to do recently, and they all couldn't come. Dong Xuebin In the end, they all said that they did not need to invest, and they just came to support them as a trip. However, the other party also complained that their place was too remote, and their county was very windy and sandy, so they were unwilling to come for free travel. It was inevitable. Dong Xuebin could save his phone number. Basically, they are all big bosses with assets of over 100 million. Even if they sit at home and don't move, they still make a lot of money every minute. A day's delay is a day's money.
Until he got off work in the afternoon, Dong Xuebin didn't contact anyone.
This made him blush, and he felt a little embarrassed. He had spent several hours talking and wasted all his face. Even if one or two people came, it would be considered as giving him face, but...
No one!
When I heard the name of Zhenshui County, I was scared to run away!
