Chapter 562 Poor Mayor

"I announce that the relocation of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge has officially begun!"

An official from the State Planning Commission who presided over the relocation ceremony stood on the rostrum and loudly announced the beginning of the ceremony into the microphone. Suddenly, firecrackers were fired, and thousands of balloons of various colors rose into the sky.The leaders of five provinces and one city in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, together with leaders from several major ministries and commissions of the central government, walked towards the bridgehead under the guidance of the staff.

There, some staff had prepared a brand new large wrench, and each leader took one, and then went to a certain position on the bridge, and stuck the wrench on the designated large connecting bolt.

"Now please let the leaders of relevant ministries and commissions of the provinces and cities loosen the first set of bolts of the bridge!" the host said loudly.

The officials looked at each other, then smiled knowingly, and began to turn the bolts on the bridge with a wrench.Normally speaking, these bolts used to connect the steel structure can not be screwed by officials. However, a day before, the organizer of the ceremony had arranged for special personnel to loosen these bolts and fill them with oil to ensure that the officials could unscrew them. Unscrew the bolts effortlessly.Even so, about half of the more than a dozen officials didn't know the point at all. They either screwed in the wrong direction, or didn't know how to use a wrench to clamp the hexagonal bolt head.

Fortunately, the hostesses who accompanied each official were trained. They held back their laughter, stretched out their fingers and pointed softly, and finally let the officials not be ashamed, and successfully removed one bolt after another.The hostesses took out red cloth bags and packed those bolts carefully. These bolts will be handed over to these officials to take back in the future. Whether they are used as paperweights on the table or as decorations in the ancient cabinets, in short, they are quite good. Souvenirs.

Although Lin Zhenhua was the earliest advocate for the relocation of the bridge, it was still not his turn to cut the ribbon on such an occasion.This time, the relocation of the bridge is jointly funded by five provinces and one city in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. After the relocation of the bridge is completed, the five provinces and one city will also jointly carry out the dredging work of the Yangtze River waterway to ensure that the main waterway can meet the navigation requirements of large seagoing ships all year round.The cost of demolishing the bridge is not too much, but the total investment in dredging the waterway is as high as tens of billions of yuan. This cannot be done by any company alone, and can only be realized by joint fundraising by all provinces.In this way, the protagonists naturally became officials from various provinces and cities, and Lin Zhenhua only got one qualification to watch the ceremony on-site.

"Well, there are few officials who know how to use a wrench." Lin Zhenhua stood on the viewing platform, watching the officials' live show through the binoculars, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Haha, that's of course. Today's officials are young and knowledgeable. It's not like we used to select cadres from factories and villages. At that time, there were no calluses on your hands, but you couldn't be a cadre." A guest standing beside Lin Zhenhua continued what Lin Zhenhua had said.

Lin Zhenhua turned his head and saw that this person was about 50 years old. He was thin and swarthy, and he looked a bit like a working person. No wonder he felt contempt for those fat and white officials. .Lin Zhenhua smiled and asked, "Big brother, are you also a representative of the company?"

The guest looked at Lin Zhenhua, as if wondering about Lin Zhenhua's identity.Lin Zhenhua remembered what he said before, but stretched out his hand and slapped the other side brightly.Although Lin Zhenhua is the chairman of the board, but by nature, he still likes to hang out in the workshop and construction site when he is free, and the calluses on his hands are very strong.When the man saw the calluses on Lin Zhenhua's hands, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, how can you tell at a glance that those officials don't know how to use a wrench? So you were born with a wrench."

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "Not only wrenches, but also turning, milling, planing and grinding, electric welding, I have done them all, brother."

"I don't think you look like a worker now, do you?" the man said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "To tell you the truth, I am now the leader of a small company, but I usually work a lot."

"It's not bad. There are not many young people like this who can still maintain their true colors after becoming a leader." The man praised, "What's your name, little brother?"

"My surname is Lin, so you can call me Xiao Lin." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Well, why, your factory is also a sponsor?" The man continued to ask.I don't know if he was born with an extroverted personality, or because he saw Lin Zhenhua's calluses and felt that he fell in love with him.

Lin Zhenhua thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Well, our factory also paid some money. Our factory is located in Xunyang City, Jiangnan Province. The improvement of the navigation standard of the Yangtze River Channel has greatly helped our factory. So we are willing to pay some money.”

The one-time investment in dredging the Yangtze River waterway is extremely high. Although the attitudes of the provinces are very positive, it is still quite difficult to spend so much money all at once.In order to solve the funding problem, the provinces can be said to have crossed the sea, each showing their special abilities.Some provinces allocate apportionment to enterprises and require corporate sponsorship; some provinces issue local bonds for enterprises and individuals to subscribe; some provinces borrow from banks, and then think about repaying them through port charges in the future.

Due to the rise of the industrial belt from Xunyang to Nandu in recent years, Jiangnan Province has strong financial strength, but it has not issued rigid sponsorship tasks to enterprises.But Lin Zhenhua felt that he was an advocate of this matter and would be one of the biggest beneficiaries in the future, so he donated 1000 million yuan in the name of Hanhua Group.In fact, this money is not a waste of money. For a company as big as Hanhua, when it encounters major events in the province, it must express itself. This can be regarded as the cost of government public relations.

"Why, the eldest brother is also a sponsor?" Lin Zhenhua asked the man in turn. Since the other party called him the little brother, he could logically call the other party the big brother.He didn't think the other party looked like a government official. He probably was the manager of a factory or something.

The man sighed and said, "Oh, I'm not a sponsor. I'm going to beg for alms from the company with a begging bowl. Our place is poor, and the province doesn't give us enough tasks. We only ask for 2000 million yuan, but for the 2000 million yuan Wan, I almost called all the business leaders in the city my father."

"Oh? So, you are the leader of the government?" Lin Zhenhua said in surprise, the information revealed in the other party's words was already very clear.

The man nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes. My name is Yue Jianhua, and I'm the mayor of Jingxi City, Chutian Province."

"Oh, it's Mayor Yue, sorry for your disrespect." Lin Zhenhua hurriedly bowed his body and made a respectful gesture.

Lin Zhenhua knew about Jingxi City in Chutian Province. It was located in the southwest corner of Chutian Province. Most of the territory was mountainous, and only a few valleys between mountains were relatively flat.Due to the high mountains and deep water, inconvenient transportation, the local economy is very backward, only a few factories are basically light industrial enterprises serving the local area.It is indeed an extremely difficult task for Yue Jianhua to raise 2000 million yuan locally.

"Pull it down, what kind of mayor am I?" Yue Jianhua said self-destructively, "The output value of our Jingxi city is not as good as your Xunyang enterprise. I often joke that if it can be changed, I would rather If you don't become the mayor of this town, it will be much more comfortable to be the mayor of a town in Xunyang than it is now."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Mayor Yue's words are a bit exaggerated. Our Xunyang City is just taking advantage of the Yangtze River, and the economy is developing a bit better."

"Xiao Lin, what you said is wrong. There are many cities that occupy the benefits of the Yangtze River. In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River alone, there are more than a dozen prefecture-level cities? Why haven't they developed like your Xunyang?" Yue Jianhua retorted very seriously.

"Uh..." Lin Zhenhua was at a loss for words.The development of Xunyang in the past ten years is indeed extraordinary.The "Xunnan Industrial Belt" between Xunyang and Nandu is now one of the three delta economic zones as famous as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. This is indeed unmatched by other cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.As for the reason why Xunyang can achieve such a huge development, Lin Zhenhua is naturally the clearest.

"Xiao Lin, there are two reasons for the development of your Xunyang." I don't know if it's because he has been a leader for a long time, but Yue Jianhua has a personality that is good at being a teacher. He wrenched his fingers and said to Lin Zhenhua: "The first reason is that you It is said that the benefits of the Yangtze River. The transportation conditions of Xunyang are geographical advantages, which are the basis for the development of Xunyang."

"Well, another reason is the weather, which is the policy of reform and opening up, right?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile.

"The time of day must exist." Yue Jianhua said, "However, this time of day is common to everyone, whether it is Xunyang, or our Jingxi City, it is the same. The reason I want to say is another reason. One point is harmony between people.”

"Well, the human factor is indeed very important." Lin Zhenhua said, "Xunyang has a good industrial foundation, and there are many skilled workers..."

"These are not the main thing. The most important thing is that someone came out of Xunyang. You should know who it is, right?" Yue Jianhua deliberately played tricks.

"Uh..." Lin Zhenhua was depressed again. He could guess who Yue Jianhua was talking about with his heels, but he couldn't admit it bluntly, so he could only pretend to be stupid: "You are talking about...cough cough, There are too many people in Xunyang, I can't guess."

"Your family, Lin Zhenhua, the chairman of Hanhua Heavy Industry Group!" Yue Jianhua said with wide-eyed eyes, "You run a business in Xunyang, you don't even know about Lin Zhenhua, do you? You’ve always heard of it, right?”

"It seems...maybe...should..."

Lin Zhenhua really doesn't know how to answer, people praise you in front of you without knowing who you are, how do you say you should answer?It would be too hypocritical to retort that he is just a mortal.It seems too immodest to accept the other party's compliment happily.The most important thing is that he didn't report his name in time before, and now he doesn't say it, and he doesn't say it, it's really embarrassing.
