Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

The next day in Zheng Shaoqiu's office, Gao Hongda and Yan Gaoliang were lying on the sofa in his office, waiting for Secretary Zheng to talk about business. Those boring polite words were superfluous to them.

Zheng Shaoqiu's forehead was twisted into a knot, and he kept pointing his fingers at the two of them, and said impatiently: "Look at the two of you, you two are so mean. If you don't know, you would think that you two are here to ask for a debt from me!"

Gao Hongda said nonchalantly: "I say, our half-brother-in-law, just hurry up. What kind of work has your Mayor An arranged for you?"

Secretary Zheng closed the door of the office tightly, sat across from the two of them, knocked on the coffee table and said: "You two, be more serious. Sit down before talking! How come your bones were beaten?"

Finally getting down to business, the two reluctantly sat up straight and began to listen to him.

"I can only speak clearly about this!" Zheng Shaoqiu said in a low voice, "As for the Chaobai River regulation project, the Ministry of Water Resources has provided funds for the project!"

Gao Hongda immediately became unhappy, stared and said, "That's not right. Didn't Brother Han Fei say you have no money?"

Zheng Shaoqiu said with a bad smile: "Does having money have anything to do with whether I can give you project funds?"

Yan Gaoliang lit a cigarette and interjected: "It's better to just say that we have no money. We will feel better!"

Zheng Shaoqiu continued: "I'll worry about it later! I still have to pay for the project, but it's just numbers! You still have to give me an invoice!"

Gao Hongda curled his lips and said, "How shameless!"

Zheng Shaoqiu explained: "There is no way. Local construction requires money everywhere. How can we not need money to build roads, bridges and schools? Our city's fiscal revenue is already stretched thin to ensure the salaries of civil servants and teachers. All kinds of Debt weighs on us like a mountain."

Gao Hongda asked directly: "Tell me, how much is the invoice?"

Zheng Shaoqiu raised his finger, and Gao Hongda let out a long breath and said, "How much do I think it is? Ten million. You don't have to pay for trivial matters or taxes. Just think of me as supporting local construction!"

Zheng Shaoqiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who are you looking down on? Ten million is enough to ask you for help?"

Gao Hongda and Yan Gaoliang looked at each other and said in shock: "One hundred million? You guys make much more money than me!"

Zheng Shaoqiu explained: "Don't make such a fuss, okay? This is a big project, and the money is just for cleaning up the river. Do you know how much effort it took to apply for this money?"

Gao Hongda said in a rogue tone: "I thought I got a bargain. I got a pile of sand for nothing, but I didn't expect that I made a wedding dress for you! Now a ton of yellow sand only costs ten yuan, even if it's me Even if you sell all the yellow sand in five years, you may not be able to sell enough for [-] million!"

Zheng Shaoqiu took out a drawing and pointed at the design description on it and said: "Don't act like this with me. The two sides of the nearly five-kilometer river this week have been deposited with yellow sand for thousands of years. You know better than me how much reserves there are, including There must be a lot of yellow sand under this wasteland on the east bank of the river! You won’t be able to sell it all in ten years, let alone five years! Don’t beat around the bush with me, just mention your conditions!”

Gao Hongda chuckled. It seemed that Zheng Shaoqiu and their leader were really hard to fool. He simply said, "Okay, I'll take this job, and you have to pay the tax!"

Zheng Shaoqiu shook his finger and said: "This money still has to go into your account. Otherwise, no matter whose account this huge sum of money goes to, it will not be clear. However, in the future, this money will be used to pay for infrastructure projects in Dongjiao Town." , To put it bluntly, any project from now on will be left to you."

Gao Hongda was a little flattered and asked: "Why are you so nice to me? How many points can I give you?"

Zheng Shaoqiu sneered at his words: "You guys underestimate us too much. We want to make some achievements, and we won't throw away our future just to focus on this little money! The main reason is that the superiors believe in you, and Choosing you is not our unilateral wish. My brother-in-law negotiated with Beijing to find a company that both parties can trust to take over this project to avoid some conflicts in the later period. No, I chose you. I also I suggested cheating you at the meeting, but no one agreed, so it was settled."

Yan Gaoliang raised a question: "If we issue the contract directly, will someone raise any objections and report us?"

Zheng Shaoqiu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. We have announced that as long as anyone is willing to advance [-] million and settle it after ten years, and the yellow sand cannot be sold at will, anyone can bid. Unfortunately, there is no such thing!"

Yan Gaoliang laughed loudly, gave a thumbs up and said, "You are still awesome, you blocked other people's mouths in advance!"

Zheng Shaoqiu said modestly: "It's just basic operations!"

Gao Hongda asked: "Do I need to express my gratitude for giving me such a big piece of cake?"

Zheng Shaoqiu quickly stopped him: "Save it, Mayor An is on the rise of his career now, and his main responsibility is the planning and development of Dongjiao Town. Don't mess with it!"

After thinking for a while, Gao Hongda said: "There are really not many enterprising cadres like this. In order to support your construction, I will invest in an electronics industrial park in Dongjiao Town this year. It is an industrial park, not an electronics factory!" "

Zheng Shaoqiu was overjoyed and asked quickly: "How much are you prepared to invest?"

Gao Hongda replied: "If the money from the Ministry of Water Resources can be received, I will invest all of it. I will treat it as if I borrowed it from you and will return it to you in the future. In addition, I will personally invest no less than [-] million to build an electronic system myself." factory!"

Yan Gaoliang immediately asked: "Do you still have so much money in your hand now?"

Gao Hongda said easily: "There are only so many left at the moment, but I still have income every month. If you want to play, play big! I just made up my mind!" What he said is the truth. After three months of continuous investment, I could only get out but not get in. All I spent was the money I won in the lottery and the money stolen from Li Jianjun. I always felt uneasy if I kept it in my hands. It was better to spend it to make people feel at ease. It's money laundering. What's more, the USB drive business is at its peak, and the current production can no longer meet the demand. In the future, MP3 will be produced. If you have your own electronics factory, you won't be afraid of being stuck by others or having your technology leaked.

Zheng Shaoqiu was naturally very excited and immediately called Mayor An Yunlai about the news. The two discussed it on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Shaoqiu said to the two of them seriously: "Mayor An welcomes this investment project and will discuss it at a meeting as soon as possible. It's just that the issue of the use of funds has nothing to do with our government. It is entirely your company's investment behavior. We are just following the The contract stipulates the payment of advance payment and progress payment for river treatment.”

Gao Hongda understood, nodded and said: "Please don't worry, leader! We will ensure the quality of the project. But..." He paused and asked a question: "There are many uncontrollable factors in the project that will lead to deviations in the project cost. If this is a dirty deal, What should I do if the money for sand is not enough to pay for the river management project?”

Zheng Shaoqiu said impatiently: "You also said that there are uncontrollable factors. You can apply for funds again when the time comes. This [-] million is only the initial cost of dredging the river and surrounding areas."

He used the term dredging instead of cleaning up yellow sand. It seems that they either concealed the fact that the river and its surroundings were full of yellow sand from their superiors, or they did enough public relations to make the superiors selectively close their eyes.

Gao Hongda slapped the table and decided: "Okay, even if I don't use this special fund, I will find a way to raise funds myself."

Secretary Zheng leaned over and patted his thigh and said, "Don't worry too much, but after the land is approved, you can apply for a bank loan! At that time, we can also endorse it for you."

Gao Hongda was filled with emotion about the series of practices of the Dongjiao Town Development Zone government. No wonder Dongjiao Town will take off rapidly in the future and become a model for the country to learn from. In addition to its good geographical location, it also has a positive and efficient working attitude with the local government. There is also a direct relationship, and even for the sake of development, we are a little informal, even if it is a little illegal.

The two parties agreed to agree on the specific details within two days and sign the contract as soon as possible. Gao Hongda pushed Roman out at this time and asked him, a top student, to be specifically responsible for business work and financial operations such as contract formulation, and let professional people do the professional things. He himself wants to go to Shenzhen as soon as possible to finalize the foreign trade order, while Brother Liang wants to go back and continue to prepare the engineering vehicles and transport ships for reclamation. There is still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Tangshan.

As for the sand mining operation, leave it to Liu Xin and let him exercise. The equipment and site will be prepared for him. This is an unskilled job. If you can't do it well, you can send him back to work as a security guard.

Just after discussing things here, Gao Hongda's phone rang. It was Meng Linlin calling. Something happened at the milk tea shop again...
