Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1261 From Today

Xu Chunliang said: "I like to think of things in the worst direction. I mean, what if, what if Lexing really withdraws its investment, how would you deal with it if it were you?"

Zhang Song said: "The total investment of Lexing Group is 100 billion yuan. What is the annual GDP of Dongzhou? It is less than 900 billion yuan. Secretary Wang cannot ignore such a large investment, unless..."

Xu Chunliang said: "Unless I can find investment of the same level or even greater."

Zhang Song laughed: "Look, you know everything in your heart, why ask me." He didn't think that Xu Chunliang could find such a large investment. A top consortium like Lexing would be welcomed in any city around the world. It is not easy to find such a large investment.

Xu Chunliang said, "Director Zhang, no, Brother Zhang, you were very successful in attracting investment when you were in the High-tech Zone. You must have a lot of connections in this area. How about you give me some pointers?"

Zhang Song understood that this guy had already set his sights on this before he even reported to the Business Committee. Zhang Song did have connections in this area, but now that he had left the High-tech Zone, those connections had lost their meaning to him. So he simply did a favor and told the truth, "Chunliang, if you have any needs in this area, I will definitely support you with all my strength, but I don't have a group as big as Lexing. Even if I have the contacts, I can't get such a large investment."

Xu Chunliang said: "As long as you are willing to support me, it will be enough. Even if you can't help me raise 100 billion, tens or even hundreds of billions will definitely be no problem."

Zhang Song was a little speechless. You said everything. You are the one who prepared food before the troops moved. You asked me to help you attract investment before you left. You said tens of billions at a touch of your lips. Do you really think it is so easy to attract investment? If I could just easily attract tens of billions, Wang Jianming would not treat me so badly.

Zhang Song didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, I will definitely try my best, but don't expect too much from me."

Xu Chunliang said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry. I will definitely not let you work in vain. I will ask Secretary Wang for some reward policies and try to get you more commissions."

Zhang Song became more speechless. This guy really dared to say anything. How shameless you are to give commissions for attracting investment? You are a person in the system and you can't even tell the difference between commissions and rewards.

Zhang Song couldn't help but give him some popular science: "We have had this kind of reward policy in the past in Dongzhou. For any project that brings in actual foreign investment of 50 US dollars in the same year, the project introducer will be rewarded. For projects that bring in actual foreign investment of 50 US dollars (inclusive) to 500 million US dollars in the same year, the reward will be 2‰ of the actual foreign investment; for projects that bring in more than 500 million US dollars in foreign investment, the reward will be 4‰ of the actual foreign investment. For projects that bring in investment from the world's top 500 companies, the reward will be twice the reward standard. The annual reward for a single project introducer shall not exceed 2 yuan."

Xu Chunliang just said it casually, but he didn't expect that there is a written reward policy. Xu Chunliang thinks that the reward policy is still a bit unreasonable. Why can't the maximum amount exceed 500,000? If I introduce a project worth 100 billion, I should be given 0.8% of it, which is 800 million. My God! Isn't this financial freedom?

Seeing this boy lost in thought, Zhang Song guessed what he was thinking about and said with a smile: "Brother, don't take the reward too seriously. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to move up, don't think about making money. If you want to make money, don't get involved in the system, otherwise you will run into problems sooner or later."

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "I know what's going on."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Song, Xu Chunliang went to the second-in-command Jiang Qiyong.

When he arrived at Jiang Qiyong's office, he saw Jiang Qiyong sitting there in a daze. It was only after Xu Chunliang coughed that he came back to his senses.

Jiang Qiyong said: "You didn't even know how to knock on the door. You scared me."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Director Jiang, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Jiang Qiyong said, "I was thinking, we agreed to go through thick and thin together, but some people just go solo without even saying hello."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Are you blaming me? I came all the way here to say hello."

Jiang Qiyong extended his hand and shook his hand: "I still have to congratulate you on your promotion."

Xu Chunliang corrected, "Let me make it clear that this is a lateral transfer, not a promotion."

Jiang Qiyong said: "Don't be modest. Foreign investment promotion is a department that can achieve results." For them, results are equivalent to political achievements, and political achievements are their driving force for advancement. Anyway, in Jiang Qiyong's opinion, investment promotion work is much easier than civil affairs work. He has been in the Civil Affairs Bureau for some time, but he has never been able to grasp the rhythm of civil affairs work. Moreover, civil affairs work seems easy but actually contains a lot of trivial matters and is not as simple as investment promotion work.

Xu Chunliang said: "I have never even been out of the country, so how can I understand foreign investment promotion? The city is clearly forcing us to do something this time."

Jiang Qiyong said: "Attracting investment is not as difficult as you think. Domestic policies are so good now that foreign investors from all over the world are actively looking for opportunities. You don't have to work hard. Maybe investors will come to you."

Xu Chunliang said: "You were the top leader in Guquan Town, and you did a great job in attracting investment. You have to help me a lot in the future."

Jiang Qiyong said: "Okay, I will definitely help if I can."

Xu Chunliang said, "I'm relieved, and you don't have to worry. I will definitely not take away your credit, and the honor commission and other things that belong to you are yours." Jiang Qiyong smiled and said, "I'm in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and you're going to the Commerce Committee. We're not on the same track in the future." What he meant was that even if I helped you, the political achievements would not fall on my head.

Xu Chunliang said, "That's narrow-minded. Although we won't be in the same department in the future, we will still do the same job. We will all work for the economic development of Dongzhou under the leadership of Secretary Wang and seek the welfare of the people of Dongzhou."

Jiang Qiyong said: "Okay, you have a bigger vision."

Xu Chunliang said: "I will go back to Secretary Wang to ask for some reward policies. Let's work together to achieve a win-win situation for both the public and private sectors."

Jiang Qiyong scratched his head. Why did he feel that this guy wanted to develop him into his downline? Was he doing investment promotion or pyramid selling?

Xu Chunliang talked about Kangjian Group again and told Jiang Qiyong clearly that the crisis of Dongzhou investors withdrawing their capital started from Kangjian Group. Secretary Wang was quite unhappy with Zhai Pingqing and suggested that the Civil Affairs Department strengthen supervision and management of Kangjian.

Jiang Qiyong had heard about the feud between Xu Chunliang and Zhai Pingqing a long time ago. Judging from Xu Chunliang's momentum, he seemed to be determined to kill Zhai Pingqing.

Zhai Pingqing thought that the 5 billion investment would be withdrawn smoothly. At the previous coordination meeting, Dongzhou had made it clear that the discovery of the Warring States tomb in the Qingshan mining area had a great impact on investors. For the purpose of cultural relics protection, the construction of the infectious disease hospital would be suspended immediately, and the city would provide new medical construction land for the infectious disease hospital to use.

It should be said that Dongzhou showed great sincerity in this matter, promising to provide compensation and that the land to be provided in the future would be better than the current one in terms of both area and area. However, Zhai Pingqing still insisted on withdrawing his investment, mainly because Lexing had given him an ultimatum that if he could not guarantee the construction on the original site, he would withdraw all his investment.

Zhai Pingqing had no intention of delving deeper into the traditional medical field. This time he was just lending a shell to Lexing. He thought he could easily make a fortune, but he never expected that there would be so many twists and turns just as the construction began.

Qin Yujiao was arrested, Wang Tongan was placed under double supervision, and Zhai Pingqing also became a key monitoring target of the procuratorate. Kangjian Nursing Home was recently ordered to suspend business and rectify its operations by joint law enforcement of various departments. It is still unknown what kind of punishment he will face next. In short, his future development in Dongzhou is difficult.

Zhai Pingqing is currently unable to take care of himself and has no energy to take care of the affairs of the new infectious disease hospital. He now only wants to get back the 5 billion investment as soon as possible and return it to Lexing, so as to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

But plans are not as fast as changes. The withdrawal request that Dongzhou had originally agreed to was suddenly changed. When Zhai Pingqing went to handle the matter early this morning, the relevant department asked him to explain the source of the 5 billion yuan and clearly pointed out that he did not comply with the contract requirements during the investment process.

Zhai Pingqing argued with reason, but the other party had no interest in talking to him and asked him to go to the head of the department responsible for foreign investment promotion. Someone would contact him about the specific situation. In other words, the first step in withdrawing the investment was to obtain approval from there.

Zhai Pingqing went to the Foreign Investment Office of the Dongzhou Chamber of Commerce with a feeling of depression. He had been here countless times before. The person in charge in the past was named Feng, and Zhai Pingqing had invited Director Feng to dinner several times.

Zhai Pingqing walked to the office door with ease. Seeing that the door was ajar, he knocked twice and pushed it open before walking in.

There was only one man in the office, who was bending over with his back to him, sorting things.

Zhai Pingqing said: "Director Feng!" He believed that there would be no one else here except Director Feng.

The man said impatiently: "Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

  Zhai Pingqing was stunned for a moment. He first realized that the man was not Director Feng. Then he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. When the man turned around, Zhai Pingqing's head suddenly buzzed. Enemies often meet on a narrow road. How come Xu Chunliang is here too?

Zhai Pingqing didn't know that Xu Chunliang had been transferred to the Commerce Committee to be in charge of the Foreign Investment Promotion Office. He thought Xu Chunliang was also here to see Director Feng. He nodded and said, "Oh, Director Xu, what a coincidence, you're here to see someone too?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Oh, it's you, who are you looking for?"

Zhai Pingqing said, "I'm looking for Director Feng."

"Which Director Feng?"

Zhai Pingqing was stunned for a moment. Was he deliberately making things difficult for him? He showed up here and asked such a question? Zhai Pingqing patiently said, "Isn't this the office of the director of the Foreign Investment Promotion Office?"

Xu Chunliang said, "That's right, but there is no Director Feng here." He walked to the desk and sat down on the chair. He smiled at Zhai Pingqing who was full of surprise, crossed his hands and said, "From today on, this is my office."
