Chapter 689: The Case is Exemplary!

One o'clock.

Tang Ye arrived at the County Party Secretary's office.

Ou Xiye had rushed back from the city; his face, usually stern, was now wreathed in smiles.

"Secretary Ou, this is the investment agreement. Please take a look," Tang Ye said, handing the document to Ou Xiye.

Ou Xiye flipped through it quickly and said with a smile, "The content of the agreement is fine. It really surprises me; I didn't expect Ruilin Group to agree to such harsh conditions."

Tang Ye smiled and replied, "That is because Dayu County possesses unique advantages that other places lack."

"As a National-level Poverty-stricken County, we hold inherent policy advantages;"

"Furthermore, the land costs in Dayu County are lower than in surrounding areas."

"Moreover, although the coal industry in our Dayu County has been at a standstill for the past few years, there has never been any indiscriminate mining or extraction, so there is still a large reserve of coal resources."

"Most importantly, the quality of the coal in Dayu is excellent and meets the standards for producing anthracite."

Tang Ye spoke with ease and simplicity, but in reality, he had previously conducted a detailed background investigation.

"County Magistrate Tang, you deserve the greatest credit for the successful landing of this project. On behalf of the common people of Dayu County, I express my gratitude to you."

Tang Ye joked with a smile, "Secretary Ou, your words make me feel a bit uneasy. Ever since I stepped onto this land of Dayu County, I have long considered myself a part of it. We are one family, so there is no need to speak as if we were two."

Ou Xiye patted Tang Ye's shoulder firmly and said heartily, "You are right; it was a slip of the tongue on my part."

If others were to see this scene of Ou Xiye taking the initiative to "apologize" to Tang Ye, they would likely be shocked.

After all, in the impression of the cadres in Dayu County, Ou Xiye had always been serious, rigid, and stern.

……

At two-thirty, Tang Ye arrived early at the conference room of the County Reception House.

The conference room was already properly arranged, with a video camera set up facing the signing table.

The County Party Committee Propaganda Department had communicated with the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department that morning, specifically arranging for reporters from the City Television Station and the City Evening News to come for interviews.

As the host of the afternoon's signing ceremony, Tang Ye went through the relevant procedures in full to ensure there would be no mistakes.

At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Vice President Chen of Ruilin Group walked into the conference room with an entourage.

Immediately following, Ou Xiye and County Magistrate Jiang Anbang led a group of County Government cadres into the venue.

After both sides were seated, Tang Ye walked to the podium and said in a steady voice, "After months of careful preparation and countless days and nights of negotiation and consultation, we have finally reached a consensus—today, the government and the enterprise will join hands to invest in and build the Anthracite Project, injecting fresh blood into the economic development of Dayu County."

"Next, I invite the government and enterprise representatives to conduct the signing ceremony."

"First, I invite Comrade Jiang Anbang, County Magistrate of Dayu County, and I invite Vice President Chen, Senior Vice President of Ruilin Group..."

Amidst warm applause, Jiang Anbang and Vice President Chen walked toward the signing table together.

The two first shook hands in a friendly manner, then took their respective seats.

At this moment, the etiquette attendant handed over the signing pens in a timely manner; the two solemnly signed their names on the investment agreement and then exchanged the documents.

After all three copies of the agreement were signed, the two shook hands firmly again to signify that the cooperation had been reached.

Jiang Anbang felt delighted, already thinking about where to place the photo in his office.

Ou Xiye smiled and said to Vice President Chen, "Thank you to Ruilin Group for choosing to invest in Dayu County. I believe we will certainly achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

Vice President Chen responded resoundingly, "The work of the Dayu County Government is both professional and dedicated. We have absolute confidence in this Anthracite Project."

After the signing ceremony ended, Tang Ye called Ma Ran into his office.

"The Municipal Organization Department needs a special report on Ruilin Group's investment in Dayu County. Work overtime tonight and get this material finished."

Ma Ran's eyes were full of excitement, and he immediately replied, "Understood, County Magistrate Tang, I will definitely finish it on time!"

Subsequently, Tang Ye explained the framework and writing approach for the material to Ma Ran in detail. If the previous Liaison Officer, Lin Heng, had been there, he wouldn't have needed to be so meticulous; it was mainly because Ma Ran had been by his side for too short a time and needed more guidance.

Ma Ran carefully recorded every one of Tang Ye's requirements. Having been by Tang Ye's side for over a month, he had long since witnessed Tang Ye's capabilities—although Tang Ye was only a few years older than him, his talent and courage were plain for all to see.

That night, Tang Ye bought some deli food and sat at the dining table, turning on the television.

When the local news on Yanzhou Television was halfway through, the footage of the signing ceremony finally appeared.

The content of this news report was divided into three parts: the first part was the scene of County Magistrate Jiang Anbang signing the contract with the enterprise on behalf of the government;

The second part was County Party Secretary Ou Xiye looking forward to the future development of the Anthracite Project and its significance to Dayu County;

The third part was an interview with Tang Ye, which also included an introduction to his identity and background.

It pointed out that Tang Ye was an Exchange Cadre from another province, and that his arrival in Dayu to actively attract investment was a vivid microcosm of the Talent Exchange Plan between Shaan Province and Huai Province.

It was this sublimation of value in the third part that instantly elevated the significance of the entire news report.

……

The next morning, Fang Chengxin walked into the Municipal Party Secretary's office holding the materials.

Secretary Liu looked up at Fang Chengxin, took the materials from his hand, and began to flip through them.

"The first batch of funds from Ruilin Group has already been transferred to the government account," Fang Chengxin reported with a smile.

The signing ceremony was just a formality.

Money arriving in the account was what carried conviction!

"I heard as well. The material is fine; just report it to the Provincial Party Committee like this!"

Fang Chengxin breathed a sigh of relief, "Understood!"

After Fang Chengxin left, Secretary Liu stroked his chin and wrote "Dayu County" and "Tang Ye" on a blank sheet of paper.

Originally, Dayu County was considered a barren land on the chessboard of Yanzhou; he hadn't expected a surprise force to descend and open up a situation here. Perhaps he could start from here to open up a brand-new situation.

After returning to his office, Fang Chengxin immediately made a special trip to deliver the materials to the Organization Department of the Shaan Province Provincial Party Committee, where he found the Deputy Minister responsible for promoting the cross-province Exchange Cadres.

"Minister Zhao, I have come to see you to report some good news. The cross-province Exchange Cadres have made breakthrough progress. There is a comrade who brought a project for exchange and immediately brought hope to the local area."

"Oh, is it Comrade Zhang Lin?" Minister Zhao knew there were two young cadres from Huai Province arranged to go to Yanzhou this time.

The place where Zhang Lin went for the exchange was a relatively wealthy county in Yanzhou, where the investment environment was much better than in Dayu County.

"No, it is Tang Ye, who went to Dayu County for the exchange!"

"Are you saying, Dayu County?"

Minister Zhao could not hide his shock.

He hurriedly flipped through the materials!

The total investment amount reached—two hundred million!

Thirty million—the initial payment has already arrived!

If this number were placed elsewhere, it would be nothing.

But, placed in Dayu County, the significance is quite different!

Minister Zhao found it hard to believe!

At the same time, his eyes lit up, because this case was typical and worth promoting well!
