Chapter 1235: Don't Do Things That Just Smooth Over the Cracks!

Fan Shaoqun left Xiyang City with his negotiation team.

The next day, relevant news appeared on the internet.

——Variables have emerged in Jinhua Century City...

Gao Qidong took the news briefing and found Gong Weimin, "Gong, there is a problem with the negotiations with Jinhua Group."

Gong Weimin scanned it roughly, frowned, and said, "What is going on? Didn't Fan Shaoqun bring a group of people to Xiyang City? How did you negotiate?"

Gao Qidong said gloomily,

"We didn't even get to negotiate; it fell apart!

Yechuan County held a Standing Committee meeting and rejected the Intentional Agreement.

Tang Ye took the meeting minutes and found Fan Shaoqun.

Upon hearing that the Intentional Agreement previously signed in Hong Kong had no meaning, Fan Shaoqun felt extremely disappointed and announced he was abandoning the negotiations.

He bought a plane ticket this morning and returned directly to Hong Kong."

Gong Weimin rubbed his temples.

Gao Qidong had signed the Intentional Agreement independently in Hong Kong.

This matter had not been discussed with him beforehand, nor had the opinion of Yechuan County been sought.

There was a procedural issue.

The agreement for this project required the joint signatures of the county, municipal, and provincial governments.

If any one link did not sign, it meant it was invalid.

Therefore, it was understandable that Yechuan County now used a Standing Committee vote to reject this agreement.

However, the fact that the county did not sign was surprising.

This carried the implication of forcing the superior's hand.

After all, the county was supposed to follow the leadership of the city.

Once the city made a decision, the county should comply.

Gong Weimin dialed Han Zhengyi's number and questioned him in a dull tone, "Jinhua Group has been angered into leaving; are you satisfied now?"

Han Zhengyi feigned ignorance and said in surprise, "They left? Wasn't it said that negotiations were to take place over these two days?"

Gong Weimin was somewhat speechless, "Don't play dumb with me.

This project has dragged on for so long, and now it's back to square one.

Yechuan County is acting so sluggishly, and the attitude is so improper.

As the Class Monitor, how exactly are you leading the team?

This is an investment of over a billion; I hope you will handle this opportunity with a proper attitude.

Otherwise, the next opportunity won't be your turn."

Han Zhengyi tried hard to restrain the displeasure in his heart and said with feigned grievance, "Gong, this wasn't my decision; it was the result of a collective vote by the Standing Committee! I hope you will listen more to everyone's voices."

Gong Weimin glanced at Gao Qidong, feeling that he still needed to maintain the dignity of the city, and said in a deep voice, "I hope you will obey commands and have a sense of the big picture."

Having said that, he hung up the phone.

Seeing Gong Weimin criticize Han Zhengyi, Gao Qidong felt indescribably gratified.

Subsequently, he decided that he still needed to stab Tang Ye in the back while in front of Gong Weimin.

"Secretary Han, I studied the meeting minutes; actually, Han Zhengyi's attitude toward the project is still very positive. Tang Ye is fanning the flames from within and muddying the waters."

"Tang Ye? He doesn't seem like someone who lacks a sense of the big picture!"

Gong Weimin originally had a good impression of Tang Ye.

He was somewhat suspicious at this moment.

Could it be that he had misjudged the person?

……

After Gao Qidong left, Gong Weimin dialed Fan Shaoqun's phone.

Gong Weimin was a cadre who had risen from the grassroots.

He had served as a County Magistrate and County Party Secretary, so he naturally knew why Yechuan did not agree to the Intentional Agreement.

However, Gong Weimin felt that.

In the current situation of Yechuan County, the entry of a foreign enterprise with strong capital was not a bad thing.

"Chairman Fan, why did you just leave? With you leaving like this, I am sitting on pins and needles."

Fan Shaoqun explained with a smile, "Gong, I genuinely wanted to invest in Xiyang, and the Intentional Agreement was even signed.

However, the Yechuan County Government has chilled my heart; they change their minds as soon as they say so. There is no investment yet, but if I were to invest, and the policies promised in black and white were not provided, how would I answer to the group!

I have to consider the risks."

"Chairman Fan, you must trust me. The Yechuan County Government also has to listen to the Xiyang Municipal Government." Gong Weimin persuaded him patiently!

"Gong, the municipal government leadership is very enthusiastic. However, I have some things to deal with for the time being; let's set another time!"

Hanging up Gong Weimin's call, Fan Shaoqun let out a sigh of relief.

The attitude of the Municipal Party Secretary was very important and also very critical!

The Secretary whispered, "The Yechuan County Government must think that if we overturn the agreement, we will make appropriate concessions."

Fan Shaoqun smiled craftily,

"As long as we pretend to leave, they will beg us. If we seriously talk business with them, they will become arrogant instead. These people are just money-grubbers; as long as we have money, their backbones will be soft.

This Han Zhengyi is also an old fox.

He doesn't come forward himself, but lets a young County Magistrate come forward!

That County Magistrate surnamed Tang looks very young."

"A person like this being pushed to the forefront is just being used as cannon fodder!"

The Secretary thought for a moment, "Could it be that Han Zhengyi feels resentful because we invited Gao Qidong to inspect the headquarters but didn't invite him, so he is deliberately trying to cause trouble for us?"

Fan Shaoqun picked up his cigar and took a slow puff, "Your words remind me. Find an opportunity to have Han Zhengyi come to the headquarters for a visit and inspection. Once he understands our strength, he won't stand in our way anymore."

Ma Ran saw a lot of news online about Jinhua Group abandoning its investment in Yechuan County.

He organized the materials and took them to Tang Ye.

"County Magistrate Tang, there is a lot of talk online about Jinhua Group not investing in Yechuan County, which is very unfavorable for us."

Tang Ye said in a serious tone,

"Many people think that Jinhua investing in Yechuan is a good thing.

Turn a blind eye, and the political achievements are in the bag.

However, accepting Jinhua Group's conditions is equivalent to planting a powder keg in Yechuan.

We cannot do things that just smooth over the cracks!"

Ma Ran nodded slightly.

In the eyes of many, Tang Ye is an ambitious official who pursues political achievements and is single-mindedly seeking advancement.

However, there are things Tang Ye will do and things he will not.

On this matter, Tang Ye's bottom line is very clear.

He welcomes Jinhua Group to come and invest.

However, it is impossible to accept unequal treaties.

Especially since Jinhua Group's capital structure is very complex.

After Jinhua Group left Xiyang, the investment matter was temporarily shelved...

Relying on this wave of publicity, Jinhua Group still saw a reaction in the capital market.

Although news of the cooperation falling through emerged when they withdrew, the stock price remained very firm.

Having tasted the sweetness, some shareholders at the board meeting proposed that they could continue to push for investment in Yechuan.

This is like a man and a woman having Fruit Salad once; after tasting the sweetness, they will think about that taste every day.

Fan Shaoqun then brought up the second round of consultations with Gao Qidong, "Through my efforts, the board of directors has decided to aim our investment focus at Xiyang City once again."

Gao Qidong laughed, "That's great. I welcome Chairman Fan to Xiyang City; this time I will definitely be prepared."

Fan Shaoqun said, "I hope there won't be any more twists and turns this time."

Gao Qidong promised, "Please rest assured, Chairman Fan, I will pull out the nail! This time, we must negotiate a result!"

"By the way, what hobbies does this Han Zhengyi have? I want to cater to his preferences."

Gao Qidong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Han Zhengyi is still a man of principle. I don't know the specifics; you'll have to find a way yourselves."
