Behind the scenes

Chapter 43

Li Zimin felt that this matter was very important, so he hurriedly reported the situation to Liu Rong and Gu Yishun by phone.The secretary and the mayor were surprisingly unanimous and completely agreed, saying that if this project is completed, it will solve a worry in the city.I hope that Li Zimin will try his best to negotiate this project well, and he can make concessions on the conditions. In short, this is a rare opportunity, and he must seize it.

Nothing to say all night.Li Zimin didn't go home, and stayed in the common room of the hotel, ready to hear any news at any time.His wife, Hu Min, called him three times in a row and was dissatisfied with him not coming home. He explained that his wife didn't like to hear it either.It made him almost sleepless all night.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Mr. Green found Li Zimin on time, and introduced the situation of the meeting of the board of directors of ATC company last night. After careful discussion, he agreed to build a large business center project in the machine factory. He said, He took out a draft agreement and handed it to Li Zimin, saying: "This is a condition that we unilaterally thought of. You have a look, and then the two sides can talk about it."

Li Zimin took over the agreement and took a closer look. The general content is as follows: ATC Company will purchase the Xianghan Machinery Factory as a whole, and all employees in the factory over the age of 3 will be transferred to the city insurance company, and ATC Company will buy out the insurance company once and for all. pension insurance for these people.The rest of the regular employees, according to their own volition, were all transferred to the General Chemical Plant as regular employees of the joint venture factory.The creditor's rights and debts of the original machinery factory shall be handled by ATC Company.In addition, considering the cooperation with the General Chemical Plant and the purchase of the machinery factory, ATC decided to give Xianghan Municipal Government a [-]% stake in the newly built business center and participate in the distribution accordingly.

After reading the agreement, Li Zimin couldn't say anything.He knew that the machinery factory was already insolvent. According to the original purchase agreement with Dashan Company, as long as the workers’ problems were solved and the debts were taken over, the government would be relieved and would not care about anything else. Now, apart from meeting these conditions, He also added a 3% stake. He imagined that the construction of this business center would cost at least 600 million RMB, which would be [-] million RMB.The conditions are favorable enough.

Green looked at Li Zimin and said: "The reason why our ATC company took 3% of the shares is not only because of our cooperation with the General Chemical Plant, but also because of the positive efforts of the municipal government, especially Mr. What we regret. We want to make money, but we don’t take money very seriously. Friendship is more important, and everyone earns money.”

Li Zimin said: "I personally have no opinion on this agreement, but I will report it when I go back. We need to study collectively on such a big matter."

Green nodded in understanding.

In the afternoon, Gu Yishun presided over the municipal party committee office meeting. Li Zimin introduced the content of the agreement and some conditions of Green Company in detail. Judging from the text of the agreement, no one could tell what was wrong. They all felt that the Chinese side had taken advantage of it. Cooperation agreement, and asked Li Zimin to sign on behalf of the government. "

Li Zimin said: "I can sign on behalf of the government, but don't make a big publicity about it. We almost suffered from them last time, and the workers in the machinery factory are not stable. If we can't fix it, there will be problems again. It's really hard to tell the province. I have confessed to it. I advocate a secret signature, and if it really moves, it is not too late to publicize it."

Gu Yishun agreed with Li Zimin's point of view, and held his hand at the end of the meeting, "The General Chemical Plant is handed over to you, and the Machinery Factory is handed over to you, Lao Li, the burden is not light!"

After leaving the municipal party committee, Li Zimin found Green, explained his intentions, agreed to sign, and did not publicize it for the time being. He introduced the troubles in the machinery factory to Green.

Green said with a smile: "I understand you. In the words of you Chinese, you are bitten by snakes for one year, and you are afraid of well ropes for ten years. Even if you are afraid of the company in the mountains, you may also be afraid of me, the ATC company!"

Li Zimin shook his head embarrassingly, "No, no. China's affairs are very difficult, and sometimes one or two sentences can't be explained clearly."

Subsequently, the two signed the agreement on behalf of the company and the government.No journalists, no clinking glasses, everything was flat.After signing, Mr. Green said: "I will leave here tomorrow. The project of the chemical plant will leave three people, and we will handle it according to the agreement we reached. The project of the business center, I will leave three more people, and we will handle it according to this agreement. The start-up funds will be called tomorrow, and the work in this area still needs more support and cooperation from the mayor."

Li Zimin said: "The project belongs to both of us and is mutually beneficial. I believe we can do it."

Green left the next day, and the start-up capital of ATC's business center project, 5000 million U.S. dollars, was also remitted to the account of the Xianghan Sub-branch of the Bank of China that night.According to the exchange rate, more than [-] million yuan, there is no problem in starting this project. Representatives of ATC signed an agreement with the Xianghan Branch of China Insurance Life Insurance Company. Part of the funds will be transferred, and the wages of retired workers will be paid immediately. Some young workers will be transferred to the chemical plant as a whole. Participating in the basic construction of the factory, the wages are paid according to the new standard, and the workers are very happy.The original factory's creditor's rights and debts were announced through the announcement, and the court and lawyers intervened to start liquidation. Hundreds of millions of RMB were deposited in the bank, the workers were stable, and the factory was stable.Several large construction companies in the city and province applied to participate in the construction of the business center project.And two companies entered the factory and began large-scale demolition.The bungalows that Tian Zaiping and Jiang Siping lived in were also included in the demolition. ATC Company first purchased a government-built poverty-relief house as a whole. The new building, they were so happy that they couldn't stop talking.All this was done within a month.

Seeing these huge changes, Li Zimin said with deep emotion: "The efficiency of their work is really high, and we really can't keep up."

Although the problem of the machinery factory has been solved, Mayor Liu Rong's mood has not improved in the slightest.He thought of the scene where the provincial party committee secretary Zhao Qingming criticized the municipal party committee secretary Gu Yishun without even looking at him in front of the hotel. As well as what happened in the past few months when he was the mayor, he felt that from top to bottom, some kind of force was attacking him, attacking his position as mayor. The position obtained by the great power may fall into someone's hands.When Liu Rong was depressed, Feng Dachun, director of the Municipal People's Congress, came to his office.It has been several years since Feng Dachun left the government because of his relationship with Li Zimin. He rarely returns to the government, and he does not want to recall the unbearable scenes in the government. He will not return to the government unless it is absolutely necessary.Liu Rong stepped forward and shook hands with him cordially, "Director Feng, you are such a rare visitor, just call if you need anything."

Feng Dachun said with a smile: "When I walked to the gate of the government, I stopped by to see you. It's been a long time, and I miss you."

Liu Rong quickly got a cigarette and poured tea.Feng Dachun waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll just say a few words and leave, you still have to be busy." Hearing this, Liu Rong quickly locked the door from the inside, then sat beside Feng Dachun, and asked in a low voice: "Director Feng, is there anything urgent?"

"Actually, it's nothing important. It's just that I heard that you haven't been doing well recently. The secretary of the provincial party committee got angry at the hotel. On the surface, it was directed at the secretary of the municipal party committee. In fact, it was directed at you, the secretary of the municipal party committee." He agreed to be dispatched from the province. Will he be dissatisfied with him? I also heard that the secretary of the municipal party committee is also dissatisfied with your work, and I have talked with some people behind the scenes. Liu Rong, you are still young, Be careful in the officialdom, you know how you got here, the more you are like this, the more careful you are, if you are a little careless, your previous efforts may be wasted!" Feng Dachun had a concerned expression on his face.

Liu Rong nodded again and again, "Thank you for the old leader's concern. During this period, my work is really not going well. I can't do anything successfully. I always make mistakes. I don't know why. When I was the executive deputy mayor, I was doing work It's not as difficult as it is now!"

"Your position is different now. You are the mayor, the top leader, making decisions, but be careful. There is a secretary of the municipal party committee on top, who is sent by the province. You must not offend him. There is also a consultant below. He is a person with high prestige and ability, and you can't underestimate him. It is really difficult for you to be in this crack. You have to be careful and careful, and find a way as soon as possible to get rid of the current passive situation. To the secretary of the municipal party committee, you You should respect him like the secretary of the provincial party committee, and ask for instructions and reports on major and minor matters at any time. How long can he stay in Xianghan City? Why don’t you just leave after being plated with gold? For that consultant, you must respect and control him. Use other people's power to restrict him. If he has the final say in the government, I think you, the mayor, will have to do it to the end. Fortunately, he is old and can still advise for a few days. You just need to strengthen your confidence and overcome Difficulties, get through the current hurdle, and I think the future of Xianghan City is still yours."

Liu Rong held Feng Dachun's hand very gratefully, "Director Feng, big brother, thank you for your words. You supported me in the past, and you are still supporting me now. With your strong support, I will have firm confidence and work hard to get through this. Difficulties. If you need me to do anything in the future, just talk, and I will always remember your teaching."
