Section 31 Ultimatum

"Wow, Brother Guodong, do you have friends abroad? What do they do? Is it a lot of money to go out?" Gu Xiaoou opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"There are a few friends who do different things. People of foreign age are self-reliant earlier than us. Many of them have worked for several years. We just have a common hobby in travel. They will come to China in the past two years. It's time for me to treat them. Friends from which country will be responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation when they go, and I will be responsible for China."

Zhao Guodong said casually in an understatement that the more he acted carelessly, the more he could fool these arrogant girls. Especially when he saw the strange expressions flowing in the eyes of several girls, Zhao Guodong felt even more funny.

"Hehe, Brother Guodong, if we want to study abroad in the future, then we can ask your friends to take care of us?" Gu Xiaoou was also outspoken and said whatever he wanted, but the other girls looked a little envious.

"Xiaoou, what's the best thing about going abroad? I think if you really want to learn something, it's probably more suitable in our domestic universities. Of course, if you want to follow the trend or go out to open your eyes, that's another matter."

Zhao Guodong changed the topic and it was obviously inappropriate to talk about deeper issues at this time, and it seemed a bit suspicious of showing off. Moreover, this was Zhao Guodong's nonsense, so how could foreign friends come from? He just wanted to crack down on the arrogance of these girls.

After walking through the vernal corridor and coming to the cafe, a waiter came close to him. Zhao Guodong asked with a smile: "What are you going to do, ladies?"

"Whatever." Almost in unison, the four girls answered neatly.

"Five cups are casual." Zhao Guodong pretended to be casual. Seeing the waiter smiling slightly, he suddenly realized something and thought of something: "Oh, it seems that you need to improve here. The types of coffee need to be rich. At least the ladies' favorite Jamaican casual coffee must be ready at any time."

Several girls couldn't help laughing. This kind of sensational behavior that would only be regarded as an extremely clumsy in the 21st century was easily defeated by the girls' last guard and the atmosphere seemed to relax.

"Okay, let's give us four cups of Blue Mountains, don't add sugar, I'll have a cup of soda." Zhao Guodong doesn't like bitter coffee, he prefers coffee and milk tea, but it is often regarded as a manifestation of a petty citizen, so he can only pretend to be elegant and unique to ask for a cup of soda that is unknown.

Several girls probably heard of Lanshan Coffee. When the waiter brought the coffee up, they started to discuss it with interest. At this time, Zhao Guodong finally found a good time to show his eloquence. For girls, the attractiveness of famous brands is too strong. No young girl can reject the temptation of famous brands, even the same thing as the Lan Dai who pretends to be cold and arrogant.

When Zhao Guodong talked about the production process and suction methods of Havana cigars from the history of Blue Mountain Coffee, from Louis Vuitton's founding experience to Gucci's entry into the Chinese market, from Pierre Cardin to the Chinese market to Chanel's silent moistening of the Chinese market, from the decline of Rolex to the brilliant color of Vacheron Constantin, Zhao Guodong introduced all kinds of anecdotes and interesting stories like a fashion industry, making several girls fascinated. In the era without the Internet, it was obviously not easy to obtain these rare secrets, at least not easy for ordinary people to do.

Several girls were attracted by Zhao Guodong's introduction in such a casual manner. After unknowingly, more than two hours passed. It was not until he remembered that Zhao Guodong realized that he had really changed. Why did he feel like he couldn't move his footsteps when he saw a beautiful girl?

When he sent several girls back to Anyuan University and Andu Foreign Languages ​​College, Zhao Guodong keenly felt the rich expressions of the girls, but at this time he had to maintain the necessary reserve, distance produces beauty, and distance produces dignity. Only when a deep impression is made in the girls' minds will they respect you next time.

After sending the girls, it was already three o'clock. Zhao Guodong rushed back and was naturally furious to be teased by Qu Yunbai when he returned to the conference center. However, Zhao Guodong had already been immune to this light-hearted joke. Instead, he joked about Qu Yunbai's few words, which made Qu Yunbai angry on the surface, but secretly happy inside.

Once he contacted these merchants, Zhao Guodong could feel that these people were a little different from those Zhejiang merchants in front of him. Their conversations in dialects were obviously higher. Zhao Guodong realized that these two merchants should be considered real investors. The previous few Zhejiang merchants probably only had the boss named Zhu who had the same strength as these two.

As the banquet progressed, Zhao Guodong gradually realized that although these two people were from Jiangsu, they had been in Shanghai for a long time. As long-term suppliers of Shanghai Volkswagen, their factory in Shanghai far exceeded that of Du Zihua's company. This time they also smelled the business opportunities brought by the joint venture between Anyuan Automobile Factory and South Korea's Daewoo.

The understanding shown by Qu Yunbai and Zhao Guodong made several Jiangsu merchants very satisfied. Before the dinner was over, both merchants agreed to go to Jiangkou Development Zone to take a look, and at the same time they also said that they could introduce more colleagues from Shanghai to Andu.

The excitement of Jiangsu merchants made Qu Yunbai very excited. Regardless of whether the merchants would invest in Jiangkou Development Zone or not, at least the other party was willing to go and see it, which meant that the possibility existed. Qu Yunbai was confident that Jiangkou Development Zone was already quite attractive at present, especially when South Korea's Daewoo and Anyuan Automobile Factory were about to sign a contract, she herself was a little surprised why she believed Zhao Guodong's words so much.

The next day's inspection made Zhao Guodong very excited. Two Jiangsu merchants and three Zhejiang merchants stayed in the Jiangkou Development Zone and the Jiangkou County Government all day. They all chose Du Zihua's squat factory as the key inspection target, and even refused to accompany the government officials, except for one Zhao Guodong following them far away.

For them, even if government officials are not as honest as the business owner himself, no matter how many promises and promises are implemented, they must be realized.

The group of people wandered around in Du Zihua's Yongxiang Fitness Factory for more than two hours, and also talked with Du Zihua in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects like birds, making Zhao Guodong stand aside like an alien. However, Zhao Guodong could see that the conversation between Du Zihua and them was quite satisfied. At least he showed a joking tone and smile from time to time, which made Zhao Guodong feel much more at ease.

It was not until Lu Weihong, Mao Daolin and Liang Jianhong accompanied several people to take dinner at the Jiangcheng Hotel to send a group of people back to Andu that Zhao Guodong was free.

"Xiao Zhao, what do you think of the situation?" This was the first time Mao Daolin had a direct contact with Zhao Guodong. Although Qiu Yuanfeng praised Zhao Guodong a lot in his face, most of them were evaluated from the public security business capabilities, and investment promotion and public security business were different things.

"Mr. Mao, I observed their performance. Although they communicated in local dialects, I could still feel that they were satisfied with the conditions in our development zone. In particular, Du Zihua introduced the purification of the surrounding social environment and the preferential electricity prices of the Guankou Power Station. This is the key to attracting them. On the contrary, they don't care much about land prices, that is, they care about long-term and lasting interests, and don't care about one-time efforts." Zhao Guodong pondered for a moment before solemnly answering Mao Daolin.

"So they are very likely to invest in our place?" Mao Daolin nodded.

"The key is not that we themselves, but whether the joint venture between Daewoo and Anyuan Automobile Factory can be successful. If the joint venture is successful, I am very sure that I can convince them to settle down and build a factory in our Jiangkou Development Zone. However, if the joint venture is not successful, then everything will be illusory." Zhao Guodong said bluntly: "If these merchants want to invest in building a factory, any of them may be several times larger than Du Zihua's company."

"Well, the problem is still a joint venture, but we have seized the opportunity. We should treat this matter as a joint venture successfully. You have to follow this matter throughout the process. Once they want to invest in building a factory, they must settle in our Jiangkou! This is a political task, Xiao Zhao, you can't slack off at all."

Mao Daolin stood in front of the car and said seriously: "Tell Qu Yunbai that our development zone is in a bad condition at the moment, and there have been rumors. The twelve development zones in Andu City will be demolished to no more than six. Except for the development zones in the city development zone and Bichi District, it will definitely not be demolished, that is to say, the remaining ten development zones, only four or even three development zones can be retained, and our current ranking of Jiangkou County development zone is still the last place!"

"At the latest May next year, this abolition plan will be implemented. At that time, we will really need to compare. Let's take a look. In addition to the infrastructure construction of the development zone, the most important thing to measure whether there is a key enterprise in your development zone that can drive local economic development and create employment and profits. Secretary Lu and I are under great pressure now. After abolition of the development zone, where will the cadres in the development zone go? Where will our county party committee and county government give face? Where is the economic growth point in Jiangkou County?"

Zhao Guodong listened silently to Mao Daolin's words similar to an ultimatum. The lifting of the flooded development zone is a major national policy, and no one can escape it. In essence, this is a good thing, but it is not the case when it falls on himself. After finally getting a deputy director, he will be abolished. How can he do it? This real-time deputy department has really become a virtual deputy department.

However, the important task of attracting investment should not be counted on me. This time I just played the role of Peng Xiaofang temporarily, so why did the burden be upon me all of a sudden?
