After Su Weijun's words, it was not only Wu Haifeng, Chen Huai and others who could hear the abnormality. Chen Baoqi, the secretary-general of the provincial government who came down with Zhao Qiuhua, also laughed secretly when he heard this.

Governor Zhao Qiuhua is not a person who loves to do homework, but in order to prevent Zhao Qiuhua from coming down and not getting familiar with the situation, many of the homework were done by Chen Baoqi, the manager of the provincial government. This time he came to Donghua with Zhao Qiuhua and carefully learned about many of the situations in Donghua in advance.

Donghua City's GDP increased by 1.6 billion in 1994, and increased by 400 million in 1993. This increased part is usually regarded as the political achievements made by Tan Qiping after he arrived in Donghua and promoted reform and opening up.

However, if you carefully study the composition of the more part of the GDP growth in Donghua region in 1994, you will find that Meixi Town contributed two-thirds of it. Su Weijun said that Meixi Town was the main driving force for the rapid economic growth in Donghua City last year, and that was nothing wrong.

Of course, Meixi Town is also under Donghua's jurisdiction, and the development achievements of Meixi Town must be incorporated into the achievements of Donghua City.

However, if three or four regional economies in Donghua can rise at the same time in one year, or if Meixi Town contributes less than such a large proportion to Donghua's growth, it can be said that Tan Qiping has made contributions to the city's rectification of economic order and promoting reform and opening up in the past year.

The development of other areas of Donghua is too dull, and Meixi Town is unique and extremely conspicuous. No matter how thick-skinned Tan Qiping is, he cannot make the development achievements of Meixi Town for himself. He may even deepen the impression that outsiders "Tan Qiping cannot do economic development, but can only rely on Shenhuai and Meixi Town to support the storefront."

Chen Baoqi looked through the publicity materials printed in advance by the Meixi Town Government. The publicity materials also regarded the new project of the joint venture with Fuji Iron and Meigang Factory No. 2 as the key guarantee construction project in Meixi Town in 1995 and 1996, and it was also a key guarantee construction project of the three-level governments at the provincial, municipal and district levels.

During the construction of these two large-scale industrial projects alone, the sustained and rapid economic growth of Meixi Town can be promoted. After the completion of the two projects, including Meixi Port Terminal and Meixi Power Plant, the total output value of steelmaking and related industries in Meixi Town can reach as high as 3.5 billion, and its contribution to the GDP will reach as much as 1.5 billion.

Although foreign-funded joint ventures will have great preferential policies in terms of income tax, even if the value-added tax related to industrial added value is reduced and exempted, after the construction of the two projects, the total contribution of the steelmaking industry in Meixi Town to local finance and taxation will also reach 200 million.

Considering the efforts of Meixi Port Industrial Park to attract investment in other industries and the construction and commerce of Xinzhen District will continue to expand, Meixi Town estimates in the printed publicity materials that by 1997, Meixi Town's GDP will reach 3 billion yuan, and its total contribution to local fiscal and taxation will reach 400 million yuan.

Chen Baoqi didn't know how many boastful parts were in the promotional materials printed by the Meixi Town Government. After all, there were only three towns in Huaihai Province that contributed over 100 million in finance and taxation.

It is not impossible for Meixi Town to strive to contribute more than 100 million in fiscal and taxation in 1995 and strive to become one of the top ten towns in Huaihai, but it is difficult to double it in 1997, but Chen Baoqi has to admit that there is still such a possibility in theory.

Chen Baoqi understood a little at this time why Tan Qiping attached so much importance to joint venture projects?

Of course, attracting investment is the top priority of local party and government work. No one dares to underestimate investment projects with a total of US$60 million.

Governor Zhao took this trip to the signing ceremony, which also shows that the project was able to reach an agreement, which was due to his strong promotion. It should be Zhao Qiuhua's credit, and no one should be snatched away.

Tan Qiping attaches importance to joint venture projects with Fuji Iron, which is not difficult to understand.

However, to raise enough loans for the municipal steel mill, Tan Qiping personally went to the province to seek help and loans several times. He also went to the Provincial Planning Commission and other relevant parts to apply for projects, approve the project, and greet relevant officials - almost all means were used to promote the project to enter the construction period as quickly as possible.

As the secretary of the municipal party committee who takes overall charge, it is rare to be enthusiastic about individual projects to this extent.

Although the provincial party secretary Tian Jiageng praised Tan Qiping's enthusiasm for promoting project construction and mentioned it many times at the meeting, Chen Baoqi knew that Tan Qiping valued the joint venture project so much and was eager to promote the launch of the joint venture project was another promoting factor.

Chen Baoqi couldn't help but wonder whether Tan Qiping, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, would he be a little immature enough to compete with a town party committee secretary? But if he thought that if he had become the secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, he would have such a strong personality, could he be calm? Moreover, the situation between Tan Qiping and him was a little different.

Chen Baoqi also had the opportunity to come to Donghua to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee.

Just like the real power of Donghua City, not everyone is willing to be the top leader of Donghua’s poorest and most biased counties, Donghua City’s economic development is fourth from the bottom in the province. Chen Baoqi was not very determined to be the secretary of the municipal party committee at that time, and hesitated, so hesitated that he missed the opportunity and asked Tan Qiping to come out of nowhere.

At this time, Donghua's economy is backward, but its development potential is much greater than that of other cities and cities. Chen Baoqi also felt a little regretful, regretting that his eyes were not lofty enough.

It is precisely because of the backwardness that there is the potential to achieve greater and more achievements in a short period of time. As a secretary of a prefecture-level municipal party committee with a low economic ranking, Tan Qiping, if he wants to be transferred to the province and directly join the Standing Committee, or even intends to plan for a high position such as the Central Committee and the Central Committee, it is far from enough to settle down in a prefecture-level city with a low economic ranking.

Chen Baoqi understood a little bit that Tan Qiping was not immature enough, but that he was so anxious with great ambition. As an official who was over 50 years old, he really couldn't waste a day of time before retirement. Chen Baoqi also had a deep understanding of Tan Qiping's anxiety.

Thinking of this, Chen Baoqi looked at Tan Qiping and asked, "Old Tan, are you going to arrange this here tonight?"

Tan Qiping was stunned for a moment. The city had communicated with the Provincial Government Office in advance for all the activities arrangements: the signing ceremony in the morning, the meals in Nanyuan at noon, the participating local enterprises were inspected in the afternoon, and the rest of the participating garden after arriving in Meixi Town. Shen Huai and others talked more in-depth about the development achievements and future plans of Meixi Town. However, they returned to Nanyuan for dinner. In the evening, Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun lived in Nanyuan, which facilitated some officials in Donghua City to find Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun to hook up with each other at night. The next morning, they would send Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun to leave Donghua and return to the province.

Zhao Qiuhua may not be clear about such an activity arrangement, but Tan Qiping does not think that Chen Baoqi, as the secretary-general of the provincial government, will not be clear about it.

What does Chen Baoqi mean?

No matter what Tan Qiping thought, after Chen Baoqi reminded him, Zhao Qiuhua looked at the elegant arrangement in the rest hall of Shangxi Garden and said, "The environment here is really good."

With the governor's words as the prelude, Tan Qiping could only follow the trend and said: "I'll arrange for a banquet here tonight..." He immediately instructed Liu Weili, deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, to go out with Chen Huai to make arrangements.

Chen Huai cursed in his stomach: It’s not a good-looking lamp.

In addition to the main leaders of the district and city, as well as the main leaders of the joint venture project such as Yamazaki Nobuo, Zhou Ming and Gu Tong, accompanied Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun in the lounge, the officials of Meixi Town, Tangzha District and the city district public security bureaus, Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun, as well as representatives of local enterprises such as Zhou Zhibai, Chu Yiliang, Zhu Li, and Yang Haipeng, all of them could only be on standby outside.

It is also very tiring to stand by, and they dare not be careless. They are not afraid of finding fault with others than Chen Huai. They are afraid of being a little negligent and being scolded less, and they are even more afraid of causing a bleak future.

At this time, when he saw Chen Huai and Liu Weili, deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, He Qingshe thought that the governor and the provincial party committee secretary had finished their rest. He thought that after these people returned to the city, everything had nothing to do with Meixi Town. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is that over?"

From purchasing equity in the yarn mill warehouse, to hotel decoration, and employee recruitment, Chen Dan asked his younger brother Chen Tong to take care of it. After registering Shangxiyuan Catering Co., Ltd., he also asked his younger brother to serve as general manager.

Shangxi Garden is only open for trial business now. Even if it is entertaining the governor, the secretary-general of the provincial party committee and his group take a nap, Chen Tong was sweating. Seeing Chen Huai come out, he thought the matter here was over and he was relieved.

"Governor Zhao and his team will have dinner here tonight," Chen Huai said. "If you want to give instructions to everyone for the specific arrangements of the dinner..."

At this moment, Pan Shihua also walked out of the inner room and asked Chen Huai with a serious look on his face: "Are you sure about Shangxiyuan?"

It was not that Pan Shihua didn't want to tear down Chen Huai's platform, but he thought that Chen Huai was not afraid of boiling water, so he was afraid that Zhao Qiuhua, Su Weijun and others would not be worried about not being able to entertain Zhao Qiuhua, Su Weijun and others. He was afraid that the board would not fall on Chen Huai by then, so he asked them to be gently beaten, and the scolding was a little bit, and the skin was a big deal.

He Qingshe, Yuan Hongjun and others knew the specific arrangements for the event, and the town government only passed the passive cooperation with the Municipal Party Committee Office. They also knew that this arrangement would not be changed easily, and they were all surprised.

Chen Tong was so nervous that his forehead was sweating. Chen Huai patted Chen Tong's shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. Governor Zhao felt that the environment here was OK, so he decided to stay for dinner. For the specific dinner arrangements, Shangxiyuan just heard the instructions from Secretary Pan and Director Chen..."

Zhou Zhibai smiled and patted Chen Tong on the shoulder and said, "I asked you to get such a good thing, and Secretary Pan and Director Chen will support you. What are you afraid of? Don't you make a dinner party."

Shangxiyuan has only renovated the original yarn mill warehouse. Now that the funds are tight, it is necessary to take out the decorated parts for business first. No matter what the subsequent renovation and operation of Shangxiyuan will be, relying on its reputation as a member-level figure in the Central Committee, it can brag about it in the Donghua catering industry.

These days, high-end catering, services, dishes, environment, etc. are very important, but it is secondary, and the celebrity effect cannot be ignored - the people who can eat and drink in the local area still value this.
