Chapter 690: Minister He Has Been Slapped in the Face!

"Yes, Minister Zhao, you heard that correctly. It is indeed Dayu County that has achieved results!"

"The total investment is 200 million, with the first installment of 30 million already in, and the projected annual output value is 400 million."

"You must know that Dayu County's GDP last year was only 400 million!"

At this moment, Fang Chengxin felt as if the blood in his veins was boiling and burning.

Minister Zhao nodded slightly and said slowly, "As far as I know, there are sixty-two cadres participating in this exchange."

"The mention of elimination at the bottom earlier made everyone tense up, all thinking of achieving results as quickly as possible."

"I never expected that Dayu County would be the first to hand in such a brilliant report card; this is truly good news!"

"It will also serve as a great incentive for the other exchange cadres."

Fang Chengxin remarked with emotion, "Minister Zhao, you should be very clear about the situation in Dayu County. Not only is it a National-level Poverty-stricken County, but it was also the subject of negative media reports last year. Tang Ye deserves great credit for being able to achieve results in such a place, but the province should also provide corresponding support to Dayu County."

Minister Zhao was slightly taken aback, then immediately grasped the subtext of Fang Chengxin's words and said with a smile, "So that's where you were waiting for me!"

"The cross-provincial cadre exchange between Shaan Province and Huai Province is essentially about building a bridge for Western development, aiming to drive industrial transport through personnel circulation."

"Now that Tang Ye has taken the lead in setting an example, we will certainly provide corresponding support."

"Whether it be tax policies, land policies, or bank loans, everything will be fully opened up to enterprises willing to invest in Dayu County."

Upon hearing this promise, a surge of wild joy welled up in Fang Chengxin's heart, and he quickly said, "Thank you for your promise, Minister Zhao! Please rest assured, Yanzhou City will certainly seize this opportunity and concentrate the strength of the entire city to complete the task of helping Dayu County shed its label as a National-level Poverty-stricken County as soon as possible."

After Fang Chengxin left, Minister Zhao picked up the materials on his desk and studied them carefully.

He then notified the Youth Cadre Exchange Office of the two provinces to turn these materials into a briefing.

The briefing would be circulated to cadres in both Shaan and Huai provinces under the name of work updates for cross-provincial exchange cadres.

It was, in a way, a mass-distributed letter of commendation.

But it was not just a simple letter of commendation; it also carried special political value.

This meant that in all subsequent meetings regarding exchange cadres, the case of Dayu County would be promoted as a model.

It is like participating in the Olympic Games; after each competition, people may not remember who won the most medals, but the winner of the first gold medal will definitely be mentioned repeatedly!

……

Minister Zhao dialed He Haiyang's phone number.

"Minister He, hello! I have some good news to share with you."

"Oh? What is the good news?"

He Haiyang had previously become acquainted with Minister Zhao due to the Cadre Exchange Program.

He knew that Minister Zhao had a deep background, so he had always maintained contact with him, sending gifts with Huai Province characteristics during holidays, and Minister Zhao would always reciprocate.

"The first battle of our two provinces' cross-provincial youth cadre exchange program has been a success! Your comrades in Huai Province were the first to break through conventional thinking and inject vitality into the local economy through investment attraction. We had a bet before, and it seems I have lost this wager!"

There was a hint of joy and self-deprecation in Minister Zhao's tone.

Although he had lost the bet, for the common people of Shaan Province, it was a genuine "win."

"Haha, is that so? Our young comrades in Huai Province have always been very driven. I wonder which comrade was the first to achieve results?"

He Haiyang had previously reviewed the situation of the exchange cadres, and in his view, it should have been those few young cadres sent to key cities in Shaan Province who would be the first to sound the horn of victory.

"Haha, I won't keep you in suspense. You definitely wouldn't expect this person." Minister Zhao paused deliberately, then said in an upbeat tone: "He is Tang Ye from Dayu County. How about that? You didn't expect it either, did you?"

Tang Ye?

At this instant, He Haiyang's brain simply crashed.

How could it be Tang Ye?

He had clearly arranged for this kid to go to a National-level Poverty-stricken County!

That place was poor and backward; wanting to achieve results there was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

The hell-mode he had tailor-made had actually become a whetstone for the other party!

He Haiyang felt like he had been slapped in the face!

He Haiyang quickly adjusted his emotions and spoke with a tone of skepticism:

"The conditions in Dayu County are relatively poor, so the difficulty of attracting investment must be significant. Comrade Tang Ye's eagerness to achieve results is understandable, but haste makes waste. The project must be able to withstand scrutiny; it cannot be an unfinished project or a vanity project, otherwise, it will be counterproductive."

Minister Zhao did not know about the grudge between He Haiyang and Tang Ye, and thinking He Haiyang was being overly cautious, he patiently introduced the current progress of the project.

"Don't worry, the project has already been officially signed. The investment entity is Ruilin Group, and the first installment of 30 million in funds has already arrived."

30 million arrived?

Ruilin Group?

A project invested in by Qiao Wansen?

Qiao Wansen was a renowned entrepreneur in the provincial capital of Huai Province!

He Haiyang had dined with him a few times, and what impressed him most was that Qiao Wansen had a massive capacity for alcohol.

He quickly realized: Qiao Wansen had always had a very good relationship with Jiang Jing, and Tang Ye had previously been Jiang Jing's Secretary.

He Haiyang quickly suppressed the waves and helplessness in his heart.

"So it was a project invested in by Ruilin Group!"

"I have a good relationship with President Qiao; I really didn't expect him to support our Cadre Exchange Program so much."

"President Qiao is already a highly representative entrepreneur of Huai Province; we can fully develop our publicity from this angle."

He Haiyang tried to shift everyone's focus away from Tang Ye.

Clearly, Minister Zhao did not grasp his intention.

"Comrade Haiyang, this case has great value and significance for publicity. I have already had the briefing issued."

"Originally, many people felt that the exchange program was just a formality!"

"We must let the cadres of our two provinces take a good look at the results of the exchange."

"It can both further encourage everyone to strive hard and allow our exchange program to achieve better results."

At this moment, He Haiyang felt like a mute eating coptis; he could only bite the bullet and reply, "That's right, we will also forward this briefing as soon as possible."

Paper cannot wrap up fire, after all.

What Tang Ye had done was earth-shattering; if he were to forcibly suppress it, it would instead make others think he was narrow-minded.

Although He Haiyang had a grudge against Tang Ye, he had to admit that Tang Ye had done well!

He Haiyang called over his assistant and gave instructions regarding the briefing.

He could only interpret this matter from a different angle.

Tang Ye achieving results was also to provide data for the talent exchange program.

When it came down to it, it was still adding chips to his own political achievements.

Thinking of this, He Haiyang's depressed and unsettled mood finally eased slightly...
