Chapter 1043

Han Xiang Dong said: "Xiaowu, look at that nouveau riche face of yours. Xinghui, absolutely don't buy it for him."

Chu Zheng glared at Han Xiang Dong and said: "Monkey, if you don't buy it for me, could it be that you want it bought for you?"

Han Xiang Dong cheekily said to Su Xinghui: "Right, Xinghui, don't buy it for him, just buy a few cases for me. I'll pay double the price."

Chu Zheng laughed loudly: "Monkey, isn't this a nouveau riche face?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "How about this, Brother Xiaowu, Brother Xiang Dong, let's go to the winery together after we finish eating, and I'll help each of you buy a few cases of wine."

Both were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying: "That would be great, buy a few more cases, it doesn't matter if it's a bit expensive."

Yu Ruizhi said: "Xinghui, then you must also buy a few cases for me, don't favor one over the other."

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Okay, okay, okay, of course I'll help you buy it too, Brother Yu. By the way, Sister Sister Ruoqiu, you too, I'll buy a few cases for you as well. You can put them in your private kitchen restaurant; when you have important guests, you can take them out."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu smiled and nodded, saying: "Then thank you."

While talking, the waiter served the dishes. Su Xinghui asked him to serve two bottles of 20-year-old Pengwan Daqu, poured wine for everyone, and then raised his glass, saying: "Come, I'll toast you all."

Chu Zheng said: "It should be us toasting you. You helped us earn so much money, we should all thank you!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "You came from afar, isn't it right for me to toast you?"

Yu Ruizhi said: "Why is it so troublesome, toasting back and forth? Come, let's all drink a cup together!"

Everyone drank this cup of wine together. Yu Ruizhi said: "By the way, Xinghui, last time I asked you about Tian Xiaopeng, you said it was hard to explain in a phone call. Today we are face-to-face, tell me, did he cause you any trouble?"

When Yu Ruizhi said this, Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, Chu Zheng, and Han Xiang Dong also watched him with concern, listening to what he had to say.

Su Xinghui said: "Actually, in other people's eyes, this might not be causing me trouble; it should even count as helping me."

Yu Ruizhi raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, what did he do?"

Su Xinghui then told everyone about what Tian Xiaopeng had been doing in Shangjun County during this period. Yu Ruizhi said: "Xinghui, you aren't really opposing this project because you have an opinion about him, are you? Does a steel mill have such great harm?"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said: "Second Brother, how are you talking? Is Xinghui that kind of person?"

Su Xinghui didn't take offense; he smiled and said: "The harm of some steel mills is of course not that great, but what he wants to introduce is a private steel mill with a long-process converter steelmaking, and there is no plan to invest in environmental protection facilities. Adding these factors together, the harm of this steel mill to the environment is very alarming."

Chu Zheng said: "Since the pollution is so great, then just oppose this project."

Su Xinghui shook his head and said: "If it were that easy, it would be fine. He has already started to build momentum. Almost all the cadres in the county know that Tian Xiaopeng wants to introduce a steel mill with an investment of 300 million. What a great political achievement this is! It is beneficial to all the cadres in the county. With profit as the priority, which cadre wouldn't be tempted? Now opposing this project is almost standing on the opposite side of all the cadres in the county!"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu frowned and said: "Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, you and Secretary Zhang opposing this project must have selfish motives. Public opinion can melt gold, and accumulated slander can destroy bones!"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "That is exactly the concern. Now, not many people understand the huge harm of environmental pollution. Even if they know that environmental pollution is harmful, many people feel that economic development is more important, and environmental pollution is a price that must be paid."

Chu Zheng said: "I think this line of thinking isn't wrong either. Doesn't a steel mill just discharge some waste residue, waste gas, and wastewater? Isn't it fine to govern it after the economy develops?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "This is where the problem lies. Even social elites like you think this way, then there are even more people in society who think this way. But the consequences of environmental pollution are truly very serious, and it is very difficult to govern after pollution occurs. After we finish eating, let's go to my office, and I'll let you read an article, then you will understand."

Han Xiang Dong said: "Whatever, anyway, we can't let Tian Xiaopeng succeed in his business. We must think of a way to ruin it for him. Xinghui, just say how to do it, and if you need our help, just speak up."

Su Xinghui said: "It can't be said like that either. We still have to be objective and not target the person. If what he does is right and beneficial to the country and the people, I will support it, but he is indeed doing this thing wrong, so I must oppose it."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu stared at Su Xinghui, her eyes shimmering with brilliance.

Chu Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, then let's ruin his business this time. Xinghui, you say what help you need from us?"

Su Xinghui pondered for a moment and said: "To ruin his business, on one hand, we must let everyone accept the concept of environmental protection, and on the other hand, we must also increase the intensity of investment attraction. If we can attract more investment than his steel mill, then no one should say that we oppose Tian Xiaopeng because we are jealous of him or have selfish motives."

Yu Ruizhi said: "Xinghui, your meaning is that you want to introduce an investment of over 300 million?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Right, at the town mayor election a few days ago, in my inaugural speech after being elected town mayor, I mentioned this goal, saying that this year we will strive to introduce an investment of over 300 million."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu frowned and said: "300 million is a bit too much, right? There aren't many industries that can invest so much at once now."

Su Xinghui said: "It doesn't need to be a one-time investment; as long as the cumulative investment amount exceeds 300 million, it's fine. I have contacted a few friends and asked them to help me contact some entrepreneurs in Yuedong Province. I plan to go to Yuedong Province at the end of this month to hold an investment attraction activity, hoping to have some gains."

Chu Zheng said: "Monkey, didn't we earn a few million this time? Adding it up, we have over ten million in funds on hand. Why don't we invest in Pengjiawanzhen too? It can count as thanking Xinghui."

Han Weidong nodded and said: "That's possible. Didn't Xinghui advise us to invest in real industry? Just invest in Pengjiawanzhen. Xinghui definitely won't let us lose money, right? Even if we lose money, it doesn't matter; anyway, this money was also earned through his guidance."

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "You decided to invest here so easily? Are you really not afraid of losing money?"

Chu Zheng waved his hand and said: "Didn't Monkey say it? Even if we lose money, it doesn't matter. This money was earned through your guidance, right? Besides, with your vision for the economy, you must know which industry can make money. Can you let us lose?"

Yu Ruizhi said: "Xiaowu, Monkey, you two are really quite cunning, wanting Xinghui to help you make money, and still beautifying it as helping Xinghui. This is getting the benefit and still acting coy!"

Chu Zheng and Han Xiang Dong both laughed. Su Xinghui raised his wine glass and smiled: "Brother Xiaowu, Brother Xiang Dong, I toast you a cup, thank you for your kindness!"

After drinking this cup of wine, Su Xinghui said: "You plan to invest in Pengjiawanzhen; this idea is quite good. Pengjiawanzhen is indeed a place worth investing in now. The economy here is active, and the Changjiangdaqiao and expressway are also about to start construction. Transportation is about to become exceptionally convenient, and it will soon become a material distribution center. Investing in many industries can make money."

Han Xiang Dong said: "Hmm, that's the meaning. You will definitely let us make money, right? Then you should be able to tell us now, which industry is better for us to invest in?"

Su Xinghui said: "For now, investing in garment factories and toy factories is not bad. These two industries can be sold domestically or for foreign trade. As long as the quality is good and there is creativity, the sales shouldn't be too bad."

Han Xiang Dong nodded and said: "We buddies also often do foreign trade business and have some friends abroad. You say doing foreign trade is reliable, but we buddies are not familiar with these two industries."
