Chapter 634: Discussing with General Manager Ji

Only I and General Manager Ji were left in the room,

I took out a cigarette and handed it to General Manager Ji,

General Manager Ji lit it,

「Jianqiang, I am Lao Tian's university classmate; our relationship is solid. I won't go into details about our relationship here. You, too, are the person Tian Shi trusts most.

Between us, there's nothing hidden in our talk.

As for me, I can't keep things to myself; after meeting you today, I feel you're someone I can deal with,

Let Tian Shi arrange a time for us two to meet alone.

「Thank you for your recognition, General Manager Ji; everyone's relationship is solid,

I still have a request of you: it's about the Qi He Kuang coal mine. We've already produced this coal, but we haven't yet cooperated with the Zaocheng Mining Group.

I've been looking for a chance to meet with General Manager Ji to settle this matter. General Manager Ji, when can we discuss this coal cooperation?

General Manager Ji waved his hand,

「Jianqiang, the matter of cooperating on the Qi He Kuang coal has already been discussed between Tian Shi and me; it's a small thing. When you have time, arrange someone to talk at our Group Company; price and such can be easily discussed.

Today Tian Shi arranged for me to meet you, but it's not to discuss this matter.

「It's not about this matter; what is it then? Please explain clearly, General Manager Ji. » I said.

General Manager Ji chuckled,

「Jianqiang brothers are sensible people; what I want to discuss today is the future development of Xue County tourism company.

Today, after hearing you speak, I feel this project is very good.

It can be invested in. Moreover, we have resource advantages; the whole mine has over 100,000 workers, and we can arrange for them to go on tourism each year.

This is also a huge consumer capacity for Xue County's tourism project.

「General Manager Ji, this is good. That way our cooperation would be a strong-strong alliance. I'm so happy; with your participation, we'd be more than half successful. » I said happily.

General Manager Ji shook his head,

「Jianqiang, these are also small matters; I believe you will handle them very successfully.

Tian Shi arranged for me to discuss Zhuang Shi's matters with you; we're both from the same city, so any investment can be discussed.

The key is Zhuang Shi.

「Jianqiang, we need to figure out how to bring Zhuang Shi in; do you understand what I mean? 」

「Bringing them in means letting Zhuang Shi also participate in the tourism company's investment, right? 」 I asked.

General Manager Ji nodded,

「I just discussed with Tian Shi; this Zhuang Shi is an old oil hand in official circles. I've interacted with him before; he often promises everything verbally but often just goes through the motions.

As for the tourism project development, our main consumer base is Huaihai City,

If he doesn't take initiative and just goes through the motions with us, then our project's chance of success is low.

As long as we bring him in,

then he will proactively let Huaihai people come to Xue County for tourism, and at that time our project will be a big profit, a huge profit.

Tian Shi and I worry that Zhuang Shi will just go through the motions with us.

「Then how can we bring Zhuang Shi in? Give him shares. » I said.

「Jianqiang, you need to think of a way; of course we should give him shares, but for him that still doesn't give much motivation; giving them for free he wouldn't care.

We only have to let him put real money into this tourism company,

then his motivation will be different,

he will proactively organize Huaihai people to come to Xue County for tourism. » General Manager Ji said while looking at me.

「Asking him to put up real money to invest—this is really difficult; after all, we've only just had this idea. How could he spend money on investment? » I shook my head and said.

「Jianqiang, you have plenty of ways.

Tian Shi said, if there are difficulties, look for Jianqiang; he feels embarrassed to arrange for you, so he has me speak to you.

I had no choice but to tell you; this is also Tian Shi's intention. Jianqiang, this matter still has time to be done; make good use of this period to think about how to do it. » General Manager Ji said with a smile.

I took a puff of cigarette and said nothing.

At this moment, General Manager Ji quietly said to me,

「Jianqiang, you don't understand officialdom matters. This time Zhuang Shi came mainly to discuss Huaihai's steel entering Zaocheng market. After Tian Shi agreed to it, he became happy and deliberately stayed here to inspect the project.

Everyone knows this in their hearts.

Moreover, Zhuang Shi and we are not on the same path,

Let me put it this way: I, Tian Shi, and you all rely on the Wen Family as our backing. Zhuang Shi's backing is different from ours.

「Who is his backing? » I asked.

「The Southern Liu Family. Jianqiang, the Liu Family in the south is indeed a powerful clan.

Actually, many things appear complex on the surface, but once clarified they're simple; we have many matters that are decided by what they say, you know?

The Wang, Wen, and formerly Zhou families of Sijiucheng are all located in Sijiucheng.

The Liu Family has always been in the south, always in the power sector; you understand.

So, you might not know.

Zhuang Shi's rise is entirely thanks to the Liu Family.

For our tourism project, even if Zhuang Shi personally wanted to participate, if the Liu Family doesn't nod, he can't do anything.

Jianqiang, I've said so much to you today,

just to let you know that many things require behind-the-scenes manipulation. » General Manager Ji said seriously.

「General Manager Ji, you're right, but I've only just met Zhuang Shi face to face,

and I haven't had any deep contact yet.

Besides, I'm not clear about the Liu Family behind them. This matter is really difficult." I said, smoking.

"Of course it's difficult; if it weren't difficult, anyone could do it. Tian Shi trusts you so much, he arranged for me to have a good talk with you

"Between us, we've said all that needs to be said

"I hope you can complete the task. Only then will our tourism project development succeed

"It's getting late, Jianqiang. You're tired today, rest early, and when you have time, arrange someone to go to Zaocheng Mining Group to discuss the coal price."

"I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant. Right?" General Manager Ji said, standing up.

I hurriedly stood up and shook General Manager Ji's hand,

"General Manager Ji, okay, I understand. I will arrange someone to go to Zaocheng Mining Group to talk. Good night."

"Good night, Jianqiang." General Manager Ji said and then left the meeting room.

I also hurriedly left the meeting room and returned to my room.

Lying in bed, I thought, I never imagined in my dreams that this would be so complicated.

I think as long as we establish a tourism company and then work hard on our project, we will attract people.

But Tian Shi doesn't think that way; he believes we must let Zhuang Shi participate.

Only when he participates will he put in effort.

How can we get Zhuang Shi to participate?

This is one reason; there's also Zhuang Shi's Liu Family behind him.

Why is Tian Shi telling me all this? He also wants Zhuang Shi to get involved.

Doesn't he realize that behind Zhuang Shi is the Liu Family? Matters above need to be communicated.

He didn't say; he had General Manager Ji and me talk—what's the purpose of doing this? I really can't figure it out.

Working together with them is really exhausting.

Today, I saw Zhuang Shi chatting very happily with Li Jia.

Li Jia, this woman, is not simple; I can get an idea from her to have her communicate with Zhuang Shi.

First, we'll proceed like this.

But Li Jia and Cui Chengshan are still lovers.

Such a thing must be ended between Li Jia and Cui Chengshan.

Sigh, take things step by step; I hurriedly got up from bed and took a shower.

Then I smoked a cigarette; today I was very tired, but I also gained a lot.

I lay in bed again, thinking about today's matters, and soon fell asleep.
