Behind the scenes

Chapter 27

"Mr. Mayor", Green said the word mayor with special emphasis. "I know you are a straightforward person. Since this is the case, I will tell the truth. I will not introduce the strength of our ATC company. I believe you are also clear. We invited Mr. Mayor to come to discuss joint ventures and cooperation, but Let’s talk about the purchase of Xianghan Chemical General Factory. We know that Xianghan City is selling enterprises all over the country, and the machinery factory has been sold by you. It is said that a person named Jiang Dashan bought it, and the price is very cheap. Yes. And you have to organize a large-scale investment group to go to Haimen. It is said to be a business group, but it is actually a sales group. It may fly away in a day or two. Since you are selling companies with such a big fanfare, why not What about selling the Xianghan Chemical General Factory? We just want to buy this factory. You can make a price, just like selling you Chinese, and sell the company to us foreigners. The price may be more expensive than selling to the Chinese. Isn’t it more expensive? okay?"

Li Zimin never expected that Mr. Green would ask a question that made him unprepared.He thought for a while and said: "We are carrying out enterprise system reform, and we have also sold a company, and we are indeed planning to go to Haimen to attract investment. But what kind of company to sell is not something that can be decided by any one person. And I I am also very responsible to tell you that we do not want to sell a company like Xianghan Chemical General Factory, nor can we sell it. If you had stated that you were going to buy this company when you sent the invitation letter, I would not have done so I flew all the way here to negotiate with you." At this time, Li Zimin didn't have a smile on his face, and there was obvious displeasure in his voice.

After Li Zimin finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room.The opinions of the two main personnel are completely inconsistent, and the starting point and fundamental purpose are not consistent. This negotiation seems to be difficult to proceed, and the assistants and entourages on the side are not easy to talk to.After about six or seven minutes, it was Mr. Green who broke the silence first. "How about this, Mr. Mayor, we have already talked a lot. Let's take a rest and relax. Standing on the top of the 7th floor, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shenzhen."

"Okay then, everyone, let's rest." Li Zimin said in agreement, and stood up.Mr. Green walked out of the room quickly, and after a while, he came in again, walked up to Li Zimin with a smile, "Mayor Li, I want to talk to you personally."

"Talk to me personally?"

"Well, some issues need to be discussed individually," Green said.

"Okay then." Li Zimin agreed, and followed Green out of the meeting room.

Guided by the service lady, they entered a room not far away, which was a small living room with several sets of high-end sofas.After Mr. Green waited for the service lady to finish pouring the tea and left the room, he stood up, locked the door of the room from the inside, and sat beside Li Zimin. "Mayor Li, please negotiate terms!"

"What conditions?" Li Zimin looked at Green blankly.

"You really don't understand, or let me be straightforward? What are your personal conditions for selling the Xianghan Chemical General Factory? To put it bluntly, it is the rebate for you Chinese. How much do you ask for? Renminbi, or Do you want dollars, cash, passbooks, whether they are stored in China or abroad, and if they are stored in foreign countries, which bank in which country, you just ask for a price, you are welcome, I will do my best to meet your personal requirements.” When Green said these words, he had an extremely serious expression on his face.

"Ah, that's right." Li Zimin nodded.He thought for a while and said, "I personally don't have any conditions. If there are conditions, it is what I just said. I am here to discuss joint ventures and cooperation, not to sell enterprises. Beyond this scope, I have no rights."

"You are the mayor and should have this right."

"No. Mr. Green, I should tell you the truth. I am not the mayor. I am a consultant of the city government. This time I am entrusted by the mayor to negotiate with you here. So if you call me the mayor, I will I am ashamed to accept it, and I was embarrassed to correct it in front of so many people just now, so I will formally explain it to you here."

"No, don't do this. Mayor Li, we already knew that you were not the mayor. You think, we know enough about your young wife, can we not know whether you are the mayor? But we know, you Although you are not the mayor, on the issue of Xianghan Chemical General Plant, you mean what you say, and you have decision-making power, and this power is authorized by the secretary of the municipal party committee and the standing committee meeting of the municipal party committee. Therefore, we regard you as more important The mayor is also important. If your mayor Liu Rong came, I would not receive him with such a high standard. You should believe this. There are only two of us here, and I am the only one who has the final say on my company , I do business all over the world, and I have seen all kinds of customers. You should also know that doing business is inseparable from money. People who have taken money from me are all higher than your position, and never One person has had an accident, and if you work with me, you can rest assured [-]%, you should make a price!"

Li Zimin looked at Green silently, his handsome face showed sincerity, he believed that what Green said would be true.But these sincere words could not touch his heart.Looking at Green's face, he suddenly thought, will all joint ventures and cooperation, as well as all exchanges and activities in the economic field, be like this?If it were all like this, how many cadres would have made one sum after another of ill-gotten gains?The corruption problem has really reached such a serious level.

"Mayor Li, people outside are waiting for us, please quickly make an offer, so that we can talk again at the table!" Green urged from the side.

"Thank you Mr. Green, thank you for your kindness. I really don't have any conditions and no price. If it's a joint venture, we can continue to talk. If you want to buy a company, I have no right to talk, so I have to end it." Li Zi Min said, standing up from the sofa.

Green looked very surprised.He believed that what he said could impress this person who was not the mayor but exercised the power of the mayor.How many heroes he has touched in the past, but now, it has no effect on this consultant. Is it because he does not need money, or is there a greater pursuit in politics... Green thought for a while and said: "Think about it seriously Think about it, we can talk again."

When Li Zimin returned to the meeting room, he found that whether it was his entourage or the personnel of ATC company, they looked at him with strange eyes from time to time.He sat upright in the middle, looked around at his entourage and the other party's personnel, and said, "Mr. Green and I exchanged views on the issue of joint ventures and cooperation in private. Our differences are very big, and it is Substantial differences, and in view of the circumstances, nothing will come of further talks, and our opinion is to stop here and see if Mr Green can do so."

Green said: "Yes, Mr. Mayor and I do have a big difference. It is really difficult to talk now. I think we can take a break temporarily. The two sides will give it a period of time to consider. Whether to talk, when to talk, after I'll talk about it after a period of consideration. Next, let's go to the restaurant for lunch, which can be regarded as my welcome to Mr. Mayor."

"I think I don't want to eat lunch. I have a lot of things at home. I plan to buy a plane ticket in the afternoon and fly back tomorrow. Let's eat after dinner." Li Zimin evaded.

"Mayor Li, it's not allowed to do this. In the Chinese saying, buying and selling can't be benevolent! You always have to eat this meal, and you always have to give face! Come on, let's go to the restaurant Let's go!" Green said, stood up, strode over, and stood in front of Li Zimin.Li Zimin also quickly stood up, "Since Mr. Green is so sincere, it would be bad not to eat this meal, so let's eat it!" After speaking, the two walked out of the meeting room side by side.

The restaurant is in a single room on the [-]th floor, and the decoration and furnishings are of international standards.After everyone sat down at the round table, the cold dishes were served, and the waiter began to pour wine, including Chinese Moutai and foreign XO.Li Zimin waved his hand and said, "Don't drink alcohol, just drink a little drink."

Bai Zhi, who was sitting next to Li Zimin, looked at the bottle of XO wine and said, "Mayor, please pour it first if you want to drink it!"

"Why, our scholar wants to drink?" Li Zimin asked with a smile.

Bai Zhi nodded, "To tell you the truth, mayor, I've only heard about this XO wine, but I've never drunk it. If you catch up with such an opportunity, it's to experience life. You have to let me taste it! You Haven't you heard the jingle that people said?"

"What jingle?" Li Zimin asked.

"Put it on before eating, pour it on before drinking it, put it on before smoking it, soak it before washing it or not, put it on before it's dry." Bai Zhi blurted out.

Li Zimin nodded, and then asked, "What do you mean put it on first?"

"You don't understand this yet, it's a term used by escorts," Bai Zhi said.

This time Li Zimin understood.He laughed loudly, "You are a scholar, you can serve both meat and vegetables!"

When the whole table heard this, they all burst into laughter.

After two days of intense preparation, the Xianghan Municipal Government's investment promotion delegation to Haimen was formally formed.The number of team members and the high level are unprecedented in history.Mayor Liu Rong served as the head of the delegation.There are five deputy heads, a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, a deputy director of the National People's Congress, a deputy mayor in charge of industry in the government, a vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a deputy secretary of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission, and representatives from the five major groups. There will be no comments either.Ma Guanjun served as the secretary-general of the delegation, presided over all the daily affairs, and had four deputy secretaries-general.The members of the investment promotion group include the county mayors, deputy district chiefs, directors of planning committees and economic committees of each county and urban area, leaders of more than 82 departments directly under the municipal government, factory directors and managers of companies to be sold, and newspaper offices. , A group of reporters from radio, television, and cable TV stations.Counting the personnel, there are exactly one hundred and eight people, who can be called heroes of Liangshanbo.With so many people going to Haimen, the traffic became a problem for a while, and one flight was not available, and there was only one flight a day from the provincial capital to Haimen. Ma Guanjun was quick to think and proposed to charter a special plane, which was both grand and formal. , while potentially saving money.He personally contacted the airline company, and then went to the provincial government to find an acquaintance, and actually chartered a McDonnell Douglas [-] special plane, and the price was cheaper than buying a ticket at the airport alone.Ma Guanjun reported this situation to Liu Rongyi, and Liu Rong nodded happily, "Well done, well done, if the leading comrades of our government can carry out their work creatively like you, then our Xianghan City The pace of economic construction will be even greater."

Hearing the mayor's praise, Ma Guanjun was very happy. He reported that the [-] people who went to Haimen were divided into five groups, each group had a group leader, a deputy group leader, and the deputy head of the delegation. In charge of each specific group, from top to bottom, a complete and complete organizational structure has been formed.He handed Liu Rong a neatly printed form.Liu Rong nodded while watching, expressing his satisfaction with his arrangement, especially when he saw that Wu Qing, the chief of the comprehensive section, had become the mayor's secretary on the organization form, and was happy to be in charge of all the internal and external affairs of the mayor. After signing the form with the words "totally agree", he handed the form to Champion Ma, "You have done a good job. You will leave on time tomorrow morning and go to Haimen. Your responsibility is very heavy, and everyone will look at you." Ah, this is both an exercise and a test for you, so do it well!"

Ma Guanjun nodded again and again, "Thank you for the mayor's praise. I will try my best to do a good job. I hope Mayor Liu will continue to teach me and help me."

While the two were talking, Jin Ping, deputy magistrate of Liuhe County, knocked on the door and came in. "Mayor Liu, I have something important to report to you."

Seeing County Mayor Jin coming, Ma Guanjun nodded to her, and then said: "Mayor, I am busy. If you have any instructions, call your mobile phone. I will leave on time in front of the government at six o'clock tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, he tweeted. The door is out.

Liu Rong didn't know Jin Ping very well, he only knew that she was the deputy magistrate of Liuhe County. "Please sit down, what can I do for you?"

It was also the first time for Jin Ping to enter the mayor's office. She came to the government a few times and asked the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, saying that she had gone to the provincial party school to study. Just walked into Liu Rong's office. "Mayor Liu, I encountered difficulties in my work and I couldn't solve them, so I came to report to you. I was supposed to find the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, but I heard that he went to the provincial party school to study, so I had no choice but to come to you According to the report, it is time to raise seedlings. Our Liuhe Village in Liuhe County and a dozen other villages near them have no water, and the Liuhe Reservoir has water. The villagers have great opinions and want to appeal to the city government. I I heard about it, so I went to help solve it, and went to the Reservoir Management Bureau to find their leaders and reflect the farmers' opinions, but the reservoir didn't listen at all, and they still didn't release the water. The reservoir is managed by the province, and they didn't pay attention to our deputy county magistrate. Li, now I want to ask the mayor to come forward to help coordinate and coordinate, otherwise the farming season will be delayed."

"Okay, I got it. I'll call Director Wang of the Reservoir Management Bureau when I have time and ask them to release the water as soon as possible." Liu Rong said while sorting out the documents on his desk.

"Then I am very grateful to the mayor. Thank you." Jin Ping said as she left the mayor's office.

After tidying up all kinds of documents on the desk, Liu Rong took out the small phone book, turned to the provincial units at the back, and found the phone number of Director Wang Pengcheng of the Reservoir Management Bureau. He picked up the phone and was about to dial the number when the door opened. walked in.

Liu Rong quickly put down the phone, looked at the woman who came in without knocking, "You, why are you here?"

"Why, if you become the mayor, I can't come?"

"Didn't I tell you many times, don't come to this place, you can call if you need anything!" Liu Rong looked a little unhappy.

Liu Yunna didn't look at his face at all, and sat down on the sofa, "You are the mayor, and I am the people's representative. If the people's representative wants to meet the mayor, is it still illegal?"

Liu Rong quickly stood up, walked to the door and closed it. "Tell me what's going on, I have something to do later."

"I know you have a lot of things to do, and I have to go to Hainan tomorrow, but I'm in trouble now. I spent more than 60 yuan for your general election. I always thought that building that school would earn me back, but the school fucking suddenly It collapsed, and I lost more than 200 million yuan, and now it’s spring, and the company needs to survive, whether it needs a project or money, what do you think I should do?” Liu Yunna looked at Liu Rong without moving her eyes.

"Then what do you want me to do? You are an enterprise, and I can't allocate funds to you!" Liu Rong showed a helpless look on his face.

"You are bullshit. Did I ask you to allocate funds? Since you became the mayor, you have started to alienate me. Is it to see that I am old or that I can't do it? Don't forget, when you become the mayor, I You have made great contributions, and without my efforts, would you be where you are today? A few days ago, the investigation team from the province came to investigate and talked to me twice, asking me about the election, but I never admitted it to the death." Liu Yunna said her voice The bigger one was, interrupted by Liu Rong sharply, "Can you keep your voice down, is this the place where you said this? Why are you becoming more and more stupid, and you are not as good as before."

"It's not that I'm not as good as before, it's that your vision has changed. You no longer have me in your heart. This time you went to Hainan, and you deliberately took the most beautiful woman around you with you. Let me tell you, that is a thorny spear Rose, several mayors have failed to get her, but you can get her? Even if you really get your hands, it may not be a good thing for you. You have to be careful with such a beautiful woman." Liu Yunna He warned with a serious face.

"You... how dare you speak like that." Liu Rong was really irritated by Liu Yunna. "Who I take and don't take, that's a matter of work. It has nothing to do with you. My wife doesn't say anything about me. What right do you have to talk about me. We were friends in the past, and I didn't owe you anything , you helped me, but I also helped you, without me, and without you today, if you still want to have a relationship with me, you should leave here quickly, and I will talk to you if I have a chance, if you still want to stay here Argue with me, and we will make a clean break from now on." Liu Rong was full of anger.
