Chapter 602 [Drink Night Talk] (Part 2)

The first thing Li Changyu did after coming to Nancy was the auction of the stadium plot. He thought he would be subject to some resistance, but he did not expect that the matter would go very smoothly. Xu Guangran supported his work performance very well. Xu Guangran was very clear in his heart. Li Changyu came prepared this time. He came to Nancy to do something. The province had such great high hopes for him. He must confirm himself as soon as possible. Li Changyu was in full spirit. If Xu Guangran shrunk his spirit from the beginning, he would definitely lead to conflicts on himself. So Xu Guangran was very rational. He chose to avoid and choose to go with the flow. Since you, Li Changyu, want to do things, I will never object. I will also help you, let you consume your energy and spirit first. When your momentum passes, I will see what tricks you want to do.

Xu Guangran only emphasized two things to Li Changyu. First, we must take care of the emotions of investors in all aspects, and ensure that the auction is fair and just, and we must not let investors feel unhappy because of this auction. Second, the funds obtained from the auction must be managed uniformly by the financial department and cannot be decided without authorization.

Li Changyu agreed, and what he did next surprised everyone. Li Changyu handed over the auction of the stadium plot to Zhang Yang. He believed that within his jurisdiction, he had the final say that he could hand over the auction to someone who was trustworthy to deal with it.

Since Xu Guangran has nodded, of course it is not easy to say anything about this matter, but he still felt that Li Changyu was a little rash. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, he had to remind Li Changyu. For this reason, Xu Guangran called Li Changyu and said straight to the point: "Comrade Changyu, I heard that you gave Zhang Yang everything about the auction of the stadium?"

Li Changyu's tone was respectful. His political style was always like this, giving people a very humble and low-key feeling. This is especially true when facing the leader: "Secretary Xu, don't worry, I remember everything you told me, and I have also emphasized it specifically to Zhang Yang."

Xu Guangran heard that Li Changyu was pretending to be confused by himself. He sighed and said, "Changyu, I am not talking about this matter itself, but I feel that it is not appropriate to hand over such an important matter to a young cadre."

Li Changyu smiled and said, "Secretary Xu, I just arrived in Nancy and am not familiar with the situation here. Zhang Yang is the director of the Sports Committee and has been in charge of the work of the Sports Committee for a long time. From the decision to the land auction to the present, he has basically participated in the whole process and knows more about this matter than I do. Since I am in charge of this matter, I will be responsible for this matter. However, it is better to leave the specific matters to Zhang Yang. I will help him check it. There will never be any problems in the general direction."

Xu Guangran knew that Li Changyu had decided on this matter. Besides, he had already said everything to that point, and he could not firmly object. Xu Guangran said: "Okay, since you are so confident in him, I will wait for your good news!"

Nancy has many major events waiting to be handled recently. The auction of the stadium plot is only one of them. The deep-water port is a huge problem facing Xu Guangran. Deputy Prime Minister Wen Guoquan has already spoken during this inspection and suggested that Nancy and Lanshan cooperate to develop the deep-water port. Provincial leaders also acknowledged Wen Guoquan's proposal. Xu Guangran was unable to turn the world back. Lanshan Municipal Party Secretary Chang Song will come to Nancy in person to discuss this matter with him recently. Xu Guangran has accepted this reality. It is inevitable that the political interests will be divided. When this matter is determined, Xu Guangran has calmed down a lot. What he should do now is to stabilize his position. He has a premonition that a crisis is coming. At this time, he no longer has the energy to consider matters related to political achievements. Without long-term plans, he will have immediate worries. If you want to continue on the journey without wind and waves, you must prepare for the future.

At the mayor's office meeting that day, Xia Boda first introduced Li Changyu to the deputy mayors again, and then smiled and said, "Comrade Changyu officially took office on the first day of today. We welcome him to say a few words!"

All the deputy mayors applauded together, Li Changyu smiled, and he stood up and said, "Thank you everyone! From your applause, I felt everyone's welcome to me and also felt everyone's trust in me. Of course, what I got the most from it is expectations. To put it in an old saying, I will take care of you for the first time when I arrive in the land!"

Li Changyu's words filled with the smell of the world made everyone laugh, and everyone clapped again. Most people were still welcomed by Li Changyu's arrival, of course, there were exceptions. Xia Boda was very welcome on the surface, but was quite wary of Li Changyu. He realized that Li Changyu's arrival had begun to endanger his position. At yesterday's welcome banquet, the municipal party secretary Xu Guangran obviously praised him, and the purpose was to use Li Changyu to suppress him. This was even worse for Xia Boda, who had an embarrassing political status in Nancy. He knew that if he did not come up with some countermeasures, he might be the first to be kicked out of Nancy's political arena.

Deputy Mayor Wang Haibo was not happy. After Chen Hao fell ill, he once thought that it was a foregone conclusion that he was the executive vice mayor. After all, Xu Guangran was strongly supported by Xu Guangran, and Xu Guangran did recommend him, but Li Changyu's halfway out made Wang Haibo's dream shatter. He should be the first victim of Li Changyu's visit to Nancy this time. Li Changyu's words sounded particularly unpleasant to Wang Haibo. He said in his heart: "Sensational!"

Li Changyu smiled and said, "My comrades, from today on, we will work together on the land of Nancy. From today on, I will also become a member of the Nancy people. This is my glory and pride. I will show my sincerity and hard work to prove my ability in actual work. I know that everyone does not understand me yet. From today on, I will prove with facts that I, Li Changyu, is a competent person. I come to Nancy not to be an official, but to do things, and to do something steadily. No matter how big or small, what I do will definitely be beneficial to Nancy and to the people!"

The applause rang again, and this time it was Vice Mayor Gong Qiwei who took the lead in applause. Li Changyu's words were very sensational, but they sounded very realistic. If every official could have such awareness and put his work in front of being an official, then our leadership will have higher efficiency and our team will become purer.

Xia Boda was also applauding, but his applause was as reserved as his smile. Li Changyu's words were like declarations, and more like a challenge to him. Xia Boda said: "It's so good to say it! Comrade Changyu said it so well!" He sighed, on the surface, he agreed, but there was a sentence hidden behind it. It's better to do it better than to say it well.

After Li Changyu sat down, Xia Boda smiled and said, "Do you have any questions?"

Deputy Mayor Gong Qiwei said: "Mayor Xia, I have something I want to report on."

Xia Boda nodded, and once upon a time he began to be wary of Gong Qiwei. Gong Qiwei became the deputy mayor, which also played a role in the province. According to the newly obtained inside information, Gong Qiwei went to the province and talked freely in front of the provincial party secretary Qiao Zhenliang, explaining the specific difficulties in the Nancy Deepwater Port. Then he proposed that local leaders should have a view of the overall situation. Only by jointly developing the deepwater port in Lanshan and Nancy can the national interests be safeguarded to the greatest extent. It was his view that won Qiao Zhenliang's appreciation, which moved Qiao Zhenliang. Qiao Zhenliang specifically interfered in the internal work of the mayor of Nancy. Under his intervention, Gong Qiwei jumped from being in charge of the unimportant sports work, becoming the person in charge of the deepwater port project, and even squeezed away the executive vice mayor Chen Hao.

Gong Qiwei said: "The construction of the deepwater port project has stabilized. We have summarized the shortcomings of the previous stage of work and made many improvements. Next week, the Standing Committee of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee will come to Nancy in person to discuss and cooperate in the development of the deepwater port. Lanshan has also sent representatives to discuss and discuss details with me. According to our preliminary negotiations, the prospects for the development of the deepwater port are bright. We jointly believe that as long as the two sides cooperate, the funding problem that has plagued the deepwater port for a long time will be completely solved. In other words, we no longer need so much foreign investment."

Xia Boda did not understand what Gong Qiwei meant, but Li Changyu understood a little. He whispered: "Mayor Gong means that these foreign investments will increase our construction costs?"

Gong Qiwei nodded and said, "Yes! According to our initial investment plan, foreign investment will account for 60% of the construction of the deepwater port. At present, the funds in place are only 10% of the estimated investment amount, accounting for 6% of the total investment amount. The investment in the first phase is very smooth, but when the second phase investment expired, Xingyue Group did not account for the funds according to the contract, and He Changan also postponed the investment. The breach of contract by these two major investors caused our deepwater port project to suffer certain losses, and Xingyue Group even took the opportunity to put forward harsh conditions."

Xia Boda said: "Isn't this matter already resolved? He Chang'an's second phase investment has been in place. Xingyue said that all the second phase funds will be deposited before the end of the year."

Gong Qiwei stood up and distributed a copy of the investment contract of the Deepwater Port in his hand to each participant. Gong Qiwei said: "Please see clearly that when the Deepwater Port signed the investment contract, there were additional conditions. If the investment funds were delayed due to the reasons of the investor, which affected the project, we have the right to hold them accountable. The specific details clearly stated that Xingyue's investment funds have not been received so far, and they delayed for two months in total!" Gong Qiwei showed the contract in his hand, opened it and pointed to a line outlined with a red pen: "The contract originally stipulated that if it exceeds two months, we have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract, that is to say, we can unilaterally tear up the investment contract with Xingyue today, and we don't need their investment!"

Everyone was stunned. Xia Boda obviously could not digest Gong Qiwei's words for a moment. He whispered: "Qiwei... Explain it clearly, do you want to tear the contract?" Xia Boda was indeed a little confused. Now that all parts of the country are extremely eager for investment and governments in various places are taking investors as their masters, Gong Qiwei actually wanted to unilaterally tear the investment contract and kick the investors out of Nancy. I really don't know what this guy is thinking.

Gong Qiwei said: "Yes, I just proposed to tear up this investment contract. According to the investment contract, if all the funds in Xingyue Group are in place, they will invest a total of 1 billion in the deepwater port. Now they only took out 1.5 billion, and there are still 850 million without investment. According to our calculations, if their 1 billion funds are all successfully invested in the deepwater port, in the next thirty years, they can not only recover all the costs, but also take at least five times the profit from it. That is to say, they invest 1 billion and can take away 5 billion, and maybe more. At the speed of today's reform and development, I think this is just the most conservative calculation. Xingyue Group gave Nancy

Some investors brought a very bad head. They made a fuss about funds, threatened the Nancy Municipal Government and challenged our dignity. Although they now said that they would receive funds as soon as possible, it was because the current investment situation has changed. They threatened our government to fail and did not want to give up the rich profits at the Deepwater Port, so they changed their minds. But one thing they forgot, their behavior caused a breach of contract, and it was a serious breach. I have been waiting for it all the time. Today, the deadline stipulated in the contract has exceeded, and their funds are still not in place. They voluntarily gave up on their own initiative, not us rejected their investment."

Li Changyu looked at Gong Qiwei. He was not familiar with Gong Qiwei, but Gong Qiwei's words surprised Li Changyu. Gong Qiwei is a person with character and courage. People like him who stick to principles are rare in the officialdom.

Shaberda said: "This is not a trivial matter. If we tear up the contract, it will inevitably cause panic among investors, and the subsequent impact may be inestimable."
