Chapter 1269: Attracting Foreign Capital for a Flying Start!

Lu Tianming took the news briefing and knocked on the door of the Mayor's office.

"Mayor Jiang, this is the latest briefing on Hongxing settling in! The mainstream media within the province have all reported on it. Several central-level media outlets have also publicized it."

Jiang Jing took the briefing and nodded slightly, "I know."

How does one highlight the importance of a political achievement?

Social feedback is even more important!

Why did Tang Ye rise so quickly?

Because the things he accomplished were all able to stir up powerful public opinion!

The greater the feedback, the higher the gold content!

After Lu Tianming left, Jiang Jing dialed Gong Weimin's desk phone.

"Gong, are you free now? I would like to report something to you."

"Come on in!"

A moment later, Jiang Jing pushed open the door and placed the briefing on Gong Weimin's desk.

"Gong, this is the promotional coverage of the signing ceremony with Hongxing."

Gong Weimin put on his reading glasses and took a look, "Mayor Jiang, this project is very good. Introducing foreign capital fills the gap in investment for Xiyang!"

Jiang Jing said, "Last year, Jinhua Group originally had the opportunity to invest in Xiyang; in fact, it was infinitely close to being signed. It is still a pity that it failed for various reasons."

Gong Weimin said objectively, "The terms for signing proposed by Jinhua Group at that time were too harsh. In the process of attracting investment, we must remain calm and rational. We cannot let ourselves be blinded by the pursuit of political achievements."

After Jiang Jing left, Gong Weimin stroked his chin.

This time, the signing with Hongxing Group went more smoothly than imagined, which quite surprised Gong Weimin.

This Jiang Jing person really has genuine substance!

How to work with her as a team from now on will require more political wisdom!

Gao Qidong sat in front of his desk, and upon seeing the news about Hongxing Group landing in Yechuan, the expression on his face twisted and distorted.

For Jiang Jing, this news was good.

But for Gao Qidong, it was no different than being dealt a heavy slap in the face.

He hadn't expected that after the spring festival, only a few days into work, he would receive such a bolt from the blue.

At the end of last year, for the sake of Jinhua Group's investment, he had been busy for several months, even going to Hong Kong for research, consultation, coordination, and negotiation.

In the end, it was incredibly frustrating.

This key area that could demonstrate personal ability—foreign investment—was not secured by him.

Instead, it was snatched away by Jiang Jing first.

The desk phone rang.

Gao Qidong answered the call.

The voice of Tan Zonghe, Mayor of the county-level city Wenyang City, came from the other end.

"Mayor Gao, the New Year is over. Should we immediately push forward our cooperation with Jinhua Group?"

After seeing the news, Tan Zonghe could no longer sit still.

Yechuan County had achieved a flying start in attracting investment.

This made Wenyang City, which had always considered itself the leader, quite embarrassed.

Gao Qidong took a deep breath, "I will contact Fan Shaoqun later."

Tan Zonghe said in a deep voice, "Mayor Gao, we are also holding our breath and hope this cooperation can go smoothly."

Gao Qidong nodded and said, "I understand what you mean; I will communicate with Jinhua Group."

Gao Qidong dialed the office phone number of Fan Shaoqun.

Fan Shaoqun said with a smile, "Mayor Gao, Happy Spring Festival!"

Gao Qidong exchanged pleasantries, "Chairman Fan, Happy Spring Festival! Regarding Jinhua Group's investment in Wenyang, I wonder how your group has discussed it?"

Fan Shaoqun frowned, "Mayor Gao, the board of directors is still very much in favor of investing in Xiyang. However, the policies offered by Wenyang are not tempting enough!"

Gao Qidong gritted his teeth, "Chairman Fan, regarding the policy issues, everything is negotiable. How about this, let's set a time and talk in person."

Fan Shaoqun heard Gao Qidong's impatience and felt that the timing was about right.

"Fine, Mayor Gao, how about this: we invite you and Mayor Tan of Wenyang to come as guests. At that time, we can discuss the details of the cooperation."

Gao Qidong nodded, "That's a good idea; I will arrange for my Secretary to coordinate the time immediately."

After hanging up on Fan Shaoqun, Gao Qidong dialed Tan Zonghe's number.

"Mayor Tan, I have contacted Jinhua Group. They have invited us to visit Hong Kong to inspect and discuss the details of the cooperation."

Seeing that the investment project had a glimmer of hope, Tan Zonghe said happily, "Okay, Mayor Gao, I will follow your arrangements."

Gao Qidong mused that Tan Zonghe understood social nuances better than Han Zhengyi, so there would be no obstruction from below for this project, and it could be successfully secured.

As long as it was secured, he would have the political capital to prepare for his next promotion.

Before the New Year, Gao Qidong had visited an old leader to express his thoughts.

To gain support, Gao Qidong had also spent a fortune; he knew the old leader liked to play chess, so he found a set of chess manuals with great collection value.

The leader's attitude was supportive.

According to the leader, Gao Qidong needed to achieve significant results before he would have a reason to make subsequent arrangements for him.

The telephone rang.

The voice of Xue Guiping from the Finance Department came through.

Gao Qidong hurriedly said, "Xue Sijiang, hello!"

Xue Guiping said in a relaxed tone, "Mayor Gao, we previously discussed whether there were any projects that could help Xiyang. A environmental protection project was recently submitted; someone will contact you later. Xiyang can strive for it!"

Hearing Xue Guiping say this, Gao Qidong's mood immediately improved, "Director Xue, thank you."

Xue Guiping chuckled, "Contributing to one's hometown, why be so polite?"

Gao Qidong's mood had also gone through many twists and turns!

His luck was also starting to turn around...

Suddenly!

He felt he was capable again...

"Jiang Jing, oh Jiang Jing!

Whatever you can do, I can certainly do as well!

Let's go head-to-head and see who can achieve more political accomplishments!"

He Haiyang had been in Runzhou for over a month without realizing it.

Previously, working at the provincial level, he had a sense of superiority.

He always felt that working at the municipal level would lower his standing.

But, in fact, after arriving at the grassroots level, he discovered a new world.

Although he had been marginalized at the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he still received everyone's respect after arriving at the municipal level.

People came to visit He Haiyang's office every day.

Most were there to get familiar and wanted to rely on him to advance further.

For civil servants, promotion is the greatest motivation.

In order to curry favor with He Haiyang, these people could be said to be pervasive.

However, He Haiyang's will was firm; he firmly believed he would not be defeated by sugar-coated bullets.

The desk phone rang, and He Haiyang answered it.

Shen Minghan asked with a smile, "Husband, did you eat well today?"

He Haiyang said, "Rest assured, I will take good care of myself."

Shen Minghan urged, "The seasons are changing. When you come back this time, I will take you to get measured for some clothes."

He Haiyang smiled, "My clothes from last year are still wearable."

Shen Minghan said gently, "Clothes make the man, just as a saddle makes the horse. You are now the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee; you must pay attention to your image."

He Haiyang said with emotion, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
