pinnacle of power

Hearing Saburo Aso say this, Liu Qingyu said lightly: "Then what if we don't back down at all?"

Saburo Aso laughed loudly: "It's not easy. Doing business is a process of mutual compromise and mutual concession. It needs a win-win situation. If you don't make concessions and we don't make concessions, there is no need to talk about this project. I heard that Qingfeng County is also planning to build an expressway project, I’ll go there first to have a look, anyway, it’s all investment, for us, as long as we can earn money, we can invest in any expressway.”

After finishing speaking, Saburo Aso stood up, took two assistants and walked towards the outside of the meeting room, without the slightest bit of nostalgia or hesitation.

Seeing that Saburo Aso was about to leave, Wei Honglin quickly stood up and said, "President Saburo Aso, don't worry, we can sit down and have a good talk!"

Saburo Aso shook his head with a smile and said: "Mayor Wei, I'm sorry, our conditions will not change in the slightest. If you from Ruiyuan County agree to our conditions, you can call me directly. Of course, It is best to make this call before we negotiate with Qingfeng County. If our negotiation with Qingfeng County is successful, then we will not invest in this project in your Ruiyuan County. After all, our funds also need to consider risks .”

After speaking, Aso Saburo got up and walked outside.

From the beginning to the end, Liu Qingyu sat on the chair very calmly, without saying a word.

Wei Honglin watched Saburo Aso walking out anxiously, looked at Liu Qingyu with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Secretary Liu, why don't you stop President Saburo Aso, he is going to Qingfeng County to talk, if If they succeed in negotiating with Qingfeng County, our Ruiyuan County will be out of business, and we still have half of the funds not in place?"

Liu Qingyu smiled disdainfully, and asked, "Major Wei, do you really hope that this project can get enough funds as soon as possible so that it can start as soon as possible?"

Wei Honglin nodded without hesitation, and then asked back, "Don't you think so?"

Liu Qingyu also nodded: "I really hope to be able to finance and start this project as soon as possible, but, County Magistrate Wei, I want to ask you another question. What is the purpose of our construction of this expressway?"

Wei Honglin said: "This is very simple. To get rich, build roads first. Of course, it is to let the common people get on the road to get rich as soon as possible."

Liu Qingyu nodded: "You're right, we do want the common people to get rich as soon as possible. Similarly, do you know why businessmen invest?"

Wei Honglin said: "This is very simple, for the benefit."

Liu Qingyu nodded: "That's right, it's for profit. I don't object to businessmen gaining benefits. After all, no one in this world is a philanthropist. Businessmen should invest for profit. But the problem is, if the businessman wants to gain His own interests must infringe on the interests of others, and his purpose of doing so is to obtain a monopoly position. Do you think his purpose is pure? If you take a broad look at various industries today, any industry that is in a monopoly position, Which industry’s fees are not inflated? If we really let Sanling Bank gain the leadership of the entire project and operation, then what will they do in the future, can our county party committee and county government still have a say? We Can it still play a good supervisory role?"

Wei Honglin frowned, he had to admit that Liu Qingyu's words were quite reasonable.

At this time, Liu Qingyu went on to say: "I have to clarify one thing first, that is, so far, all the financing in our Ruiyuan County has totaled 30 billion yuan, and we are still short of about [-] million yuan in funds. , That is to say, no matter who wants to participate in this project in the future, at most they can only make up the funds behind. Investors kick out the entire financing channel, otherwise, what is the credibility of our local government?

And we will launch larger-scale traffic projects in the future. If we backtrack on this project, will investors be willing to invest when the 1 billion project is put on the agenda next time?If at that time, even the Japanese Sanling Bank is still willing to invest in the next big project, but do you think they will open their mouths when there is no competition?At that time, although we have built the project, will the common people really get real benefits?You can see a clue of this from the constant price hikes of water companies controlled by foreign capital in some places.

In the past, when the water company was run by the local government, how much was the water fee per ton?And now since it was contracted to a foreign-funded water company?How much has their service quality improved compared to before?no!There are even serious water pollution incidents in some enterprises. How did they operate at that time?Not only did they forcibly conceal and not report, but they self-destructed when the incident was exposed by the media, and they also shifted the responsibility to some pipeline leak or previous responsibility accident. Isn’t this deceiving the people, what are they doing?Also, are the water charges of those water companies operated by foreign capital increasing every year?Or phased price increases? "

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu became slightly agitated, and his voice raised a few degrees and said: "Mayor Wei, think about it carefully, how much did you need to buy a bottle of 5ml foreign-funded shampoo in the supermarket five years ago?" Money? Is 750 yuan enough? But how much did you need 25 years ago? It has risen to 2 to 35 yuan, but now, can you buy it without 40 yuan? You can’t buy it! What does this mean? question?

This shows that the prices of these industries monopolized by foreign capital have more than doubled in five years. However, has the price inflation rate in China doubled in five years?no!Why does this explain the problem?This shows that once a certain industry is monopolized by foreign capital, what is waiting for the common people will be a rise in prices, and under their very skillful control, the common people will not feel the rise at all, because they will control this rise within a monthly In terms of the frequency of rising once or once a week, the rate of increase is not large, but after a long period of time, this rate of increase is indeed quite terrifying.This is the power of monopoly!This is the fundamental reason why it is absolutely impossible for me to allow Japan's Sanling Bank to hold our Ruiyuan County Expressway Project! "

After speaking, Liu Qingyu stood up and walked out directly.

In the meeting room, Wei Honglin was sitting there still reminiscing about Liu Qingyu's words. After thinking for a long time, Wei Honglin nodded lightly and said: "It makes sense, it really makes sense!"

As soon as Liu Qingyu returned to the office, Huang Lihai called. Huang Lihai said with a smile: "Liu Qingyu, is the negotiation between your Ruiyuan County and Sanling Bank over? How is the progress?"

Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Mayor Huang, our negotiation has ended, but the negotiation has reached an impasse for the time being, and follow-up consultations are still needed."

Huang Lihai said with a smile: "Well, negotiation is a process of mutual exploration and compromise between the two parties. The ultimate goal is to achieve a win-win situation, but Liu Qingyu, I have to remind you that this Sanling Bank has been exhausted in our city. We negotiated with painstaking efforts. I hope that you, Ruiyuan County, will start negotiations with them in a sincere and cooperative attitude. You must not be arrogant. Let me remind you that after passing this village, there will be no such shop. According to my knowledge You know, they are also negotiating with Qingfeng County now, if you Ruiyuan County can't seize this opportunity, it can't be because our city doesn't treat people equally, I introduced them to our Ruiyuan County first."

Hearing what Huang Lihai said, Liu Qingyu couldn't help but frowned. He could feel that Huang Lihai was putting pressure on him.

Liu Qingyu nodded slightly and said, "Well, Mayor Huang, I know what to do, please rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingyu frowned. At this moment, Liu Qingyu had to reconsider Huang Lihai's real purpose of introducing this Sanling Bank to him.He always felt that with Huang Lihai's previous views and attitudes towards him, it was impossible for him to introduce such a good thing to himself first. You must know that for the 5 million support funds, Huang Lihai would always favor Qingfeng County. More than 20 billion investment projects, and it was Huang Lihai who contacted them. Why did Huang Lihai introduce such a good thing to Ruiyuan County first?

Thinking along this line of thought, Liu Qingyu felt a trace of inexplicable pressure.

After the negotiation, Liu Qingyu dealt with the backlog of work over the past few days. After finishing all the work, Liu Qingyu rushed to Ruiyuan Hotel.He wanted to pick up Cao Shuhui and Murong Qianxue to climb the mountain together, although Liu Qingyu had a headache and went out with the two girls.

But what Liu Qingyu didn't expect was that Liu Qingyu only learned after arriving at Ruiyuan Hotel that Cao Shuhui, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, had to rush back to deal with the case because of a sudden criminal case in the city bureau. Only Murong Qianxue was waiting for him.

In the evening, after climbing the mountain, Liu Qingyu went back to his room. Just after he turned on the TV, he saw a news that surprised him on the news of Nanhua City. In the TV interview, Saburo Aso said that he was conducting an investigation between Ruiyuan County and Qingfeng County, and had already negotiated with the leaders of Ruiyuan County and Qingfeng County.

When the reporter asked: "Mr. Saburo Aso, which county do you think the negotiation between you and is smoother?"

Saburo Aso said with a smile: "I think the leaders of the county party committee in Qingfeng County are more sincere, and they are more pragmatic in their work."

Hearing Saburo Aso say this, the reporter asked on the spot: "Mr. Saburo Aso, do you mean that the leaders of the county party committee in Ruiyuan County have no sincerity and are not pragmatic enough?"

Saburo Aso said very cunningly: "I didn't say that, it was you who said it."

Seeing this, Liu Qingyu couldn't help frowning. Although the reporter's question and Aso Saburo's answer were all carried out in a very humorous form, Liu Qingyu could tell that this news was definitely aimed at him. of.This is an open criticism of myself!

Sure enough, at this moment, Liu Qingyu's cell phone rang, and the call was from Dai Jiaming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
