Chapter 1052
In Pengjiawanzhen, Su Xinghui, whose prestige was originally at its peak, also encountered widespread questioning. Various rumors were spreading in the town. Some people said that Su Xinghui's refusal of Pan Yongchun's investment this time was entirely because of his personal conflict with County Magistrate Tian Xiaopeng, and entirely because of his jealousy of Tian Xiaopeng, because Tian Xiaopeng brought such a huge investment as soon as he came, surpassing Su Xinghui's edge.
Even some town leaders who usually support Su Xinghui relatively well had some opinions at this time. After all, for a town like Pengjiawanzhen that is not too big, an investment of 300 million is really too important. Such a large investment, even if averaged on every Pengjiawan person, is several thousand yuan. But Su Xinghui actually refused it without hesitation.
Fortunately, Town Party Secretary Qi Jian still firmly supported Su Xinghui. During these days, he also talked with many cadres in the town, communicated with them, and changed their thinking. His efforts also achieved certain results. The thinking of some cadres changed, and they also had more understanding of Su Xinghui.
Just at this time, Yu Ruizhi and several others came to Pengjiawanzhen again. They brought several subordinates from Beijing respectively. These subordinates were all very capable people who helped them manage the company. After they arrived at Pengjiawanzhen, they immediately signed three investment intention agreements with Pengjiawanzhen.
The investment amount of these three investment intention agreements was 10 million RMB each. Yu Ruizhi prepared to invest in building a leather goods factory, Chu Zheng prepared to invest in building a garment factory, and Han Xiang Dong prepared to invest in building a toy factory.
The three factories they prepared to build were all prepared to focus on the foreign trade market. Although it was only an intentional investment agreement, they had already determined to invest and build factories in Pengjiawanzhen. They also indicated that they would sign formal agreements as soon as possible and start building factories.
The signing of these three intentional investment agreements was nothing less than a shot in the arm, which was the greatest support for Su Xinghui now.
Su Xinghui had just refused an investment of 300 million RMB. Now, the only thing that can reverse this unfavorable influence is more investment. And Su Xinghui also proposed the goal of investment attraction this year in his inaugural speech, which was also 300 million RMB. If he proposed a goal but couldn't reach it, the blow to his prestige would be even greater.
It is imaginable that if Su Xinghui refused this investment of 300 million but couldn't complete the corresponding investment attraction goal, he would have no face to stay in Pengjiawanzhen anymore. His only ending might be to leave Pengjiawanzhen in low spirits, encountering the first Waterloo in his official career.
And these three intentional investment agreements added up to 30 million. Although it is not a big number compared to that investment of 300 million, without the contrast of that 300 million investment, these three investments are all considered big moves.
These three investors were obviously Su Xinghui's connections. At this critical moment, he pulled in this investment of 30 million at once, which proved Su Xinghui's ability to attract investment and also gave the cadres of Pengjiawanzhen more confidence.
In short, these three investments were like sending charcoal in snowy weather for Su Xinghui.
These three investments greatly eased Su Xinghui's pressure, but brought no small pressure to Tian Xiaopeng. If he wants to truly gain a foothold in Shangjun County and even establish huge prestige, he has to rely on this investment of 300 million. If the investment Su Xinghui pulled in is more than his, then he would really lose face.
He had heard what Su Xinghui said in his inaugural speech.
And if this investment of 300 million cannot be implemented as soon as possible, then Tian Xiaopeng will be even less able to stand firm in Shangjun County. In the future in Shangjun County, who will listen to him?
Therefore, after Tian Xiaopeng accompanied Pan Yongchun to inspect several towns, he quickly set the factory site where Pan Yongchun prepared to build the factory in Xiaojiazhou Township, which is adjacent to Pengjiawanzhen. The natural conditions here are similar to Pengjiawanzhen, and it is not too far from the Changjiangdaqiao and expressway, which is also relatively suitable for running a steel mill.
However, when Tian Xiaopeng proposed this factory building plan at the County Magistrate's office meeting, it also encountered opposition from several deputy county magistrates.
Chen Hongfu said: "County Magistrate Tian, the Yongchun Steel Mill has incomplete procedures, especially without a perfect environmental assessment. It cannot be predicted what adverse effects it will have on our county's environment. So my opinion is to wait for them to complete the various procedures and wait for environmental assessment experts to conduct a perfect environmental assessment before discussing this issue?"
Chen Hongfu's words made Tian Xiaopeng struggle in his heart like a trapped beast. Unexpectedly, he originally thought that this steel mill project could easily land in Shangjun County. Which place doesn't want such a huge political achievement?
But who would have thought that he would encounter Su Xinghui's questioning as soon as he proposed this project in Pengjiawan, and when he accompanied Pan Yongchun to Pengjiawan for inspection, Su Xinghui refused Pan Yongchun face-to-face. When inspecting other towns, some town leaders also had some doubts about the pollution of the steel mill.
Now he wants to forcibly pass this steel mill project at the County Magistrate's office meeting to create a fait accompli, and Chen Hongfu jumped out impatiently again. He is the executive deputy county magistrate, and his weight is not light. Moreover, he can also influence a group of people.
After Tian Xiaopeng came to Shangjun County, he also thought about winning over a group of people. He also talked with Chen Hongfu and exchanged ideas, but obviously Chen Hongfu didn't catch a cold to him. Tian Xiaopeng also knew the reason.
Chen Hongfu was originally promoted by Zhang Kaishan, and if it weren't for Tian Xiaopeng's horizontal intervention, Chen Hongfu would even have the opportunity to be the county magistrate. Just imagine, how could Chen Hongfu have a good impression of Tian Xiaopeng?
In official circles, this basically belongs to an irreconcilable contradiction.
Tian Xiaopeng tried his best to suppress the trapped beast in his heart. He used a smile as gentle as possible and said: "County Magistrate Chen, this is an investment of 300 million. I did a lot of work to invite President Pan to Shangjun County. Other places are staring at this project like tigers. If we ask for too much, this project will be snatched away by other places."
Chen Hongfu said: "Of course we welcome investment, but we can't even not handle the necessary procedures. That is not in accordance with the procedures and not in accordance with the regulations."
Deputy County Magistrate Qi Xiaoyan smiled and said: "County Magistrate Chen, regulations are dead, people are alive. After the project lands, isn't it fine to supplement the procedures? Aren't other counties in our city doing this? Now they are chasing very fiercely. If our project of 300 million can land, we can shake them off."
Chen Hongfu looked at Qi Xiaoyan with a trace of disdain. Qi Xiaoyan is almost forty years old this year. This person does not have much ability, but the county committee and the government's team need a certain number of female cadres, so she was promoted from the position of Education Bureau Director to the deputy county magistrate in charge of culture, education, health, and women and children work.
Because her coming to power had a certain contingency, she had no ability, no political achievements, and even less of a backer. Therefore, after Tian Xiaopeng arrived in Shangjun County, Qi Xiaoyan leaned over immediately, repeatedly singing in harmony with Tian Xiaopeng at the County Magistrate's office meeting, acting as Tian Xiaopeng's vanguard.
Not only that, she also dressed up every day and sent autumn waves to Tian Xiaopeng. She didn't look at herself—with her old-looking appearance, would Tian Xiaopeng, a young cadre in his early thirties, take a fancy to her?
