Very Secretary

  Very Secretary - Chapter 553 Frustrated

Soon it was time for a showdown. This time, Gao Fuhai took part in the negotiation very carefully, but it was of no avail. After negotiating with the inspection team, the other party fought head-to-head on the issue of land prices and did not back down. Let the negotiations form a stalemate. Helplessly, Zhou Qifeng didn't offer to lower the price, and Long Xiangtian didn't express his opinion. Lu Jianhong looked at Gao Fuhai helplessly, and could only say, "Miss Clausty, the land price is a matter of principle." , Our goal is very clear, which is to use your investment to achieve regional economic development, and it is impossible to accept investment at the expense of ourselves and the interests of the people, it seems that we can only say regret."

When Lu Jianhong said this, he was in a sense of sadness. In fact, if the upper management gave them a price floor, there might be room for maneuver. Unfortunately, this time the project itself was not for investment purposes. It's a political struggle, so the success of the project itself is irrelevant. This has to be said to be a sadness. At the same time, Lu Jianhong also complained about the balanced approach pursued by Long Xiangtian, the secretary of the provincial party committee. Do you really not care about this investment, or are you afraid that things will go too far and cause the struggle to escalate? ?

Klausti gave Lu Jianhong a surprised look. She really didn't expect that after the ultimatum, Lu Jianhong would say such a thing. In her impression, Lu Jianhong would definitely give in, and then She would also make appropriate concessions in order to reach a critical point, but Lu Jianhong insisted that the land price of 500,000 per mu was really the other party's bottom line? No, I had a phone call with Governor Zhou Qifeng two days ago, and he said on the phone that he could lower the land price as appropriate. After all, she still doesn’t understand our country’s system deeply enough. Like this, there is no leader’s approval to lower the land price at will. , that was a principled mistake, and no one can bear the responsibility.

"Please wait a moment, I'll answer the phone." In fact, no one called Klausti at all. She thought that Zhou Qifeng's answer would be settled after some consultations, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating. Ask to understand.

  Walking to the bathroom and delivering it to the door, Klausty dialed Zhou Qifeng's mobile phone and said, "Governor Zhou, your negotiator has bitten the price to death. It seems that the possibility of realizing this investment is not great."

"Oh, really?" Zhou Qifeng was delighted in his heart. It would be best if the investment failed, and he said calmly, "Miss Closty, I'm afraid I can't help you with this. There is an old saying in China that generals are not granted orders when they are abroad." , I am out of my reach, and the negotiation table is determined by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, he has the right to speak and no one can interfere."

Klausti suddenly felt that she was not taken seriously, and hung up the phone angrily, and returned to the negotiation room with a very ugly face, but she still showed good quality and self-cultivation, and said: "Lu, our side It is a very sincere investment, and I will ask you again, whether the land price can meet our requirements."

From her words, Lu Jianhong heard a strong desire to invest, but there was really no room for maneuver on the issue of land prices. Lu Jianhong said regretfully, "Ross, the problem is mutual and both sides. If the price of land is low, then the increase in per-mu taxation is also a matter of course.”

  Clausty was silent for a while, and said, "Lu, I can only say sorry."

  The moment they made this decision, both Klausty and Lu Jianhong felt it was a pity, and Gao Fuhai was also speechless.

  Lu Jianhong shook hands with Klausty with a strong smile, and said, "Although no investment agreement has been reached this time, Miss Ross is still welcome to come to China and Yanhua often."

   "I will." Klausti said rather sadly.

  Bai Mei translated for both parties, and felt that it was a pity in her heart. The failure of the investment meant that the possibility of her staying in Yanhua came to naught.

   Sending off Klausty and his party, Lu Jianhong said, "Ross, when are you leaving?"

   "Tomorrow." Klausti deliberately slowed down, and said, "Lu, I am very reluctant to leave you."

   Facing the undisguised confession of the foreign beauty, Lu Jianhong was a little embarrassed, and said, "Looking forward to the next cooperation."

After parting, and returning to the hotel, Baimei said to Clausti, who was obviously not in good spirits: "Ross, why did you choose to give up? I think the conditions in all aspects are good, and I have already taken a lot of discounts. Lower the land price, In fact, compared to raising the tax per mu, it is not cost-effective for us.”

Klausti smiled and said: "I gave up investing not because of the land price, but because I felt that the investment environment was not ideal. Their chief executive told me that the price could be lowered, but Lu said that it must not be lowered. I know, The official system in your country is very strict. If Governor Zhou says it can be lowered, Lu has no reason not to leave any room for maneuver. I think there must be problems. In such an environment, I don’t think it makes sense to invest. Big, not conducive to the development of enterprises."

  Bai Mei was silent. Unexpectedly, Klausty saw the problem very clearly, pointing out that a dispute in the officialdom is enough to bring a company into a desperate situation.

  Lu Jianhong followed Gao Fuhai into his office, and Gao Fuhai said in a moody voice, "You go back first."

Sitting in the office for a while, Lu Jianhong's heart seemed to be pressed by a big rock, and he felt a suffocating feeling. This feeling became heavier and heavier. When he opened the window, a gust of cold wind rushed in. But this can't blow away the haze in his heart. Facing the cold wind, taking a few deep breaths, Lu Jianhong dialed Zhao Xuepeng's phone: "Uncle Zhao, the investment talk has collapsed."

  Zhao Xuepeng was not surprised at all: "It was within my expectation."

  Lu Jianhong was stunned for a moment, and said, "I really don't understand why Secretary Long didn't express his opinion? Is this investment really dispensable? Could it be that if the investment is successful, Secretary Long himself will have no glory?"

   "Jianhong, after so many years, you are still so emotional." Zhao Xuepeng said lightly, "You have to look at the essence through the phenomenon. What you think about now is not whether the investment is successful, but why it cannot be successful."

  Lu Jianhong said depressingly: "Why didn't it succeed? Since we are asked to negotiate, but we are not given any power, not even a little autonomy, how can we talk about it?"

  Zhao Xuepeng smiled again: "Then why is there no power?"

  Lu Jianhong stopped talking. Suddenly, he felt very tired. Now he knew the exact meaning of "I would rather have a head than a phoenix tail".

  Looking at the phone for a while, the sky gradually darkened. Lu Jianhong didn't turn on the lights. The whole office was dark. In the darkness, a strong sense of frustration rose in Lu Jianhong's heart.

  At this moment, the phone suddenly lit up. Lu Jianhong picked up the phone sullenly.
