Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui smiled at Hua Minglei, nodded slightly and replied:

"Leader Hua, I am listening carefully, but I cannot give you a definite answer right now.

So, I will discuss this with them over the phone after I return to Beijing, and I will contact you as soon as I have any news."

Hua Minglei was stunned for a moment. He really wanted to attract investment. Sitting in this position, he naturally had a special mission and sense of responsibility.

It's really stressful!

He really hoped to convince Ye Tianshui to provide his useful resources to Pengcheng?

But seeing that he really agreed so easily, I felt that he was persuaded too easily. I couldn't believe it.

“Are you really willing to persuade them to invest?

Can you discuss such an important matter on the phone...?"

It seems like too much of a joke, right?

This is what Hua Minglei really thinks.

He saw that in order to attract a small investor, he had to go through a lot of trouble, talk and even treat people to dinner, but the success rate was very low.

He carefully looked at Ye Tianshui's expression and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he explained carefully:

“Mr. Ye, if there are foreign businessmen interested in investing here, we will send an invitation in the name of the municipal government.

All their travel expenses, food, accommodation and hospitality are borne by our municipal government.

We can also go abroad to communicate with them. You can introduce us and accompany us, and your expenses will be borne by the municipal government.

In addition, if you successfully negotiate a project, you will receive commissions and rewards.”

Based on what Hua Minglei had found out about Ye Tianshui, he was willing to trust him.

In fact, the municipal government has suffered many losses and been deceived in attracting investment.

There is no way. They are the pioneers of this era and have no successful experience to learn from. The saying "Failure is the mother of success" is really appropriate for them.

Everything is done by feeling their way forward, but fortunately the country has given them enough support and tolerance.

While summing up the experience, we should also sum up the lessons.

“Leader Hua, I talk to them casually and I understand their thoughts a little bit.

What I want to discuss with them is, if they come to Pengcheng to invest, which industry should they enter? This choice is very important.

They know very little about the domestic situation and will certainly ask for my advice, and I must be responsible for them."

In Hua Minglei's opinion, Ye Tianshui's explanation was just a perfunctory response.

There is even a hint of showing off and self-aggrandizement.

Hua Minglei's understanding of Ye Tianshui was only indirect "hearsay", and he had never really met or understood him.

Therefore, he was only half-believing and half-doubting Ye Tianshui's words.

But even though he knew that Ye Tianshui was just trying to get him by the wayside, he was still willing to continue discussing with Ye Tianshui.

He was willing to continue to use his sincerity to impress the young man in front of him. What if he could really attract foreign investment for him? !

Even if there were foreigners willing to visit them, it would be something Hua Minglei would be more than happy to have.

Pulling the ox as if it were a horse is a true reflection of Hua Minglei's current mentality.

"Any industry is fine. Pengcheng is a special zone established by the state. Any industry can enter. There are no restrictions."

Now that we have come to this, Ye Tianshui must understand Pengcheng’s specific policies towards foreign investors.

After all, he did not experience this process personally in his previous life, and all he heard was hearsay from later generations.

"Leader Hua, I want to know what specific preferential policies are available to foreign investors if they want to open factories here?

I can also explain it all to them all at once over the phone.

For example, how to acquire land, how to pay taxes, and how to recruit workers?

Will the bank approve the loan?

Ye Tianshui sat up straight and asked seriously:

“Also, will the government fail to deliver on its promises of good conditions?”

It seems that no one in China has ever heard of fraud against foreign businessmen.

But Ye Tianshui knew that some places had set many traps for investors in their investment promotion processes.

Being deceived is not an isolated case.

When Hua Minglei saw that Ye Tianshui asked substantive questions, his expectations instantly increased.

"I have detailed information here. You can take a copy and read it carefully. If you have any questions, you can call my office directly.

Also, your worry about the government going back on its word will definitely not happen.

I can guarantee you something, and you can guarantee others something as well.

The rights, responsibilities and obligations of both parties will be clearly stated in the contract.

Foreign investors can also bring their own lawyers to jointly draft the contract.”

After Xu Zhen arrived in Pengcheng, Ye Tianshui asked Hua Zijian to drive him to Yangcheng Industrial Park.

"Xiao Shui, what did Leader Hua say to you? I saw him look refreshed when he escorted you out."

Hua Zijian asked curiously.

"He wanted me to introduce foreign businessmen to invest in Pengcheng, and I promised him that I would consider it."

This is not a secret, and there is no need for Ye Tianshui to hide it from Hua Zijian.

"Have you really agreed? Where are you going to find foreign investors? The municipal government has set up a special investment promotion office, and Leader Hua is in charge of it personally.

We also encourage all bureaus and departments under the municipal government to contact relatives and friends to spread the word. Those who can attract investment will receive bonuses.”

Hua Zijian sighed: "So far, I haven't seen many people get the bonus.

It’s too difficult to attract investment, so you don’t have to pay attention to him.”

Hua Zijian didn't know much about Ye Tianshui. He only knew that it was not easy to open a store and run a small business nowadays. How many people could open a factory or run a business?

Ye Tianshui smiled:

“It’s neither difficult nor easy, the key is to find the right person.

Look, there are more than ten factories in my park, and it wasn’t too difficult, most of them were found by themselves.”

Speaking of this, Ye Tianshui had an idea. It seemed that building an industrial park in Pengcheng would be a good investment project.

Land is a scarce resource, and the less we use it, the less it will be. Even though Hua Minglei is now personally involved in attracting investment.

It won't be long before that piece of land becomes worth every inch of money!

Ye Tianshui also felt unfamiliar with his own industrial park. It was empty at first, but now, there were queues of trucks coming in and out.

After waving goodbye to Hua Zijian, he did not go in to look for Xiang Fangming immediately, but stood at the gate and watched for a while.

Sigh, the place is still a little small.

He has decided to go to Pengcheng to get a piece of the pie.

Rather than saying that Hua Minglei's sincerity touched him, it was because Ye Tianshui knew too well about the future development of Pengcheng.

"Boss, which factory are you going to? Who are you looking for?"

Ye Tianshui was stopped by the security guard at the gate of the park and asked him politely.

"I'm going to the garment factory to look for Director Xiang Ming. Is he in the factory?"

This group of security guards were recruited and trained by Sun Hongliang, and Ye Tianshui was quite satisfied with them.

"Going to the garment factory? Director Fang is here. Please register here and you can go in."

The security guard was very friendly. Ye Tianshui asked as he registered:

"You have so many people and cars coming in and out every day. Do you require registration for all of them?"

"Except for those working inside, all vehicles and people entering and leaving must register.

There aren’t many strangers or strange vehicles, so we basically remember them after seeing them once.”

The security guard looked at Ye Tianshui as if he was a cadre who came for inspection, and explained honestly.

Ye Tianshui walked into his own clothing factory and felt a similar sense of unfamiliarity. It was his first time here since the official start of production.

Seeing a female worker, Ye Tianshui went up to ask:

"Hello, where is Director Fang?"

The female worker looked at him a few more times, then smiled and pointed upstairs:

"Director Fang is in his office."

“Bang…Bang!”

Ye Tianshui, who had just stepped onto the stairs, was startled by the noise from upstairs and saw several female workers pointing and talking in the corridor.

"Is that young man Director Xu's son?"

"From what they said, it seemed like they were enemies, but why did they sound like enemies?"

"That young man is unreasonable and he doesn't listen to Director Fang."

"Director Xu was so angry that he started crying again."

The woman's voice upstairs: "Don't make a scene here. If you break something, you have to pay for it!

Let’s go outside and talk.”

Ye Tianshui's face turned cold.

"I just want to make trouble here! Let everyone know that you are a labor camp prisoner!

You beat my dad to death and don't care about the life and death of my grandma and me, you just want to live a happy life!

You are a shameless woman!"
