Chapter 1120

~7 min read 1,298 words

Su Xinghui said: "However, I see that Mr. Noel seems to be tempted by their conditions."

Hou Guangbi smiled and said: "Are you worried?"

Su Xinghui said: "Worry is not the word. I still have confidence in the conditions of our Pengjiawanzhen. I am just afraid that he will really accept Jiangcheng's conditions and build the factory in Jiangcheng, but not invest in environmental protection. As long as he does a good job in environmental protection investment, it is actually good for our country to build a factory anywhere."

Hou Guangbi nodded with gratification. What he appreciates most is Su Xinghui's point. Although he is still just a small mayor, he already has the bearing of caring about the world.

Hou Guangbi said: "Don't worry about Noel. I will help you talk to him. He is not a short-sighted person and shouldn't do such short-sighted things."

With Hou Guangbi saying this, Su Xinghui was completely relieved. In front of this wise old man, no matter how big the matter was, he could easily calm down.

Su Xinghui said: "Thank you, Grandpa Hou!"

Hou Guangbi said: "You don't have to be polite with me. Eat at Dali's place at noon."

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Okay, I'll call Xiaoya."

Su Xinghui called Lu Xiaoya, and Lu Xiaoya happily said she would come after work.

Su Xinghui accompanied Hou Guangbi to play a game of chess. After the game, the meal at Hou Dali's house was also ready. He came over to call Hou Guangbi to eat.

Hou Guangbi smiled and said: "Xinghui and Xiaoya are eating here today, is there enough food in your house?"

Hou Dali said: "Enough, if it's really not enough, I can cook noodles. Let them eat rice, I'll eat noodles."

Hou Guangbi laughed, and went to Hou Dali's house with Su Xinghui. They waited for a while, and Lu Xiaoya arrived. The few people had a meal at Hou Dali's, and Su Xinghui said goodbye to Hou Guangbi and Hou Dali, and left with Lu Xiaoya.

Lu Xiaoya asked: "Xinghui, why did you come back today?"

Su Xinghui said: "Xiaoya, that matter really let you say it."

Lu Xiaoya asked strangely: "What matter?"

Su Xinghui said: "It's what you said about the Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office possibly grabbing our investors."

Lu Xiaoya was shocked and said: "What? Did they really grab it?"

Su Xinghui told Lu Xiaoya about what Noel told him. Lu Xiaoya said: "They are really shameless."

Su Xinghui said: "Yes, so I came back today and reported this matter to Secretary Zhang, and then told Grandpa Hou. He said he would help me talk to Noel. This afternoon, I will accompany you to Jiangcheng to see your parents, and by the way, report this matter to your father."

"Okay." Lu Xiaoya smiled happily.

That afternoon, Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya returned to Jiangcheng together. Speaking of which, Lu Xiaoya hadn't been home for a while. This day, Su Xinghui bought a lot of things to bring with him. Although they were not valuable things, this was their intention.

Before going home, Lu Xiaoya called Lu Zhenghong, so Lu Zhenghong pushed away all social engagements and activities after work and waited for them at home.

When they arrived home, Song Qiaoli had already cooked the meal, and the family sat at the dining table happily and had a meal. After the meal, Su Xinghui and Lu Zhenghong went into the study together.

As soon as Lu Zhenghong sat down, he smiled and said: "Xinghui, I should congratulate you. The investment amount landed in your Pengjiawanzhen this year should exceed 200 million, right? This doesn't count the Changjiangdaqiao and highway projects. I heard that the vice president of the French Notte United Steel Company also went to your town to inspect the investment environment?"

Su Xinghui said: "Uncle Lu, I came here today to complain to you about this."

"Complain?" Lu Zhenghong frowned and said: "What happened?"

Su Xinghui said: "It's the Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office. In order to grab investors from us, they have used unscrupulous means."

Su Xinghui told Lu Zhenghong about the Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office grabbing investors from them.

After hearing this, Lu Zhenghong frowned and said: "Did they really hint to Mr. Noel that they don't need to strictly implement environmental protection standards when building a factory?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Yes, this is what Mr. Noel told me personally."

Lu Zhenghong raised his palm and slapped the sofa armrest heavily and said: "They are too outrageous!"

Although Lu Zhenghong was also furious, he really couldn't go to question them directly. After all, the Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office only hinted. If they questioned them, they could completely deny it.

As for grabbing investors, Lu Zhenghong couldn't put it on the table to talk about it. After all, Notte United Steel Company had not signed a formal investment agreement with Pengjiawanzhen, and even an intentional investment agreement had not been signed. Jiangcheng's contact with investors did not violate any regulations.

In the past, the provincial government always muddied the waters on such matters. Anyway, as long as the investment falls within the province, it doesn't matter where it falls.

Su Xinghui knew Lu Zhenghong's difficulty. He said to Lu Zhenghong: "Uncle Lu, the purpose of my reporting this matter to you is not to let you put pressure on the Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office and let them give up introducing Notte United Steel Company."

Lu Zhenghong said: "Then what do you mean?"

Su Xinghui said: "My meaning is that when introducing investors, the string of environmental protection must be tightened and must not be relaxed. If the environment is not protected well, what is the use of having money in the future? The current clear water lake will become a smelly pond in the future, and the current blue sky and white clouds will become gray in the future. Is there any meaning in living like that?"

Lu Zhenghong nodded and said: "You are right. Environmental protection cannot be relaxed. We cannot want the environment just for GDP. I will greet the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau and ask them to attach importance to environmental protection work. By the way, don't you have some unique insights in environmental protection? Why don't you write an article on environmental protection, and I will help you send it to the internal reference of the Provincial Party Committee."

Su Xinghui said: "Okay, then I will write this article this weekend and hand it to you."

Lu Zhenghong said: "Okay. Then on Noel's side, do you have the confidence to let him invest in your Pengjiawanzhen? This project is very important to you."

Lu Zhenghong knew about Tian Xiaopeng's preparation for a 100,000-ton electrolytic aluminum plant. He had rich experience in politics and naturally understood the importance of this electrolytic aluminum plant to Tian Xiaopeng. It can be said that if the electrolytic aluminum plant is successfully launched, Tian Xiaopeng's prestige in Shangjun County will increase greatly, and it may even allow him to overwhelm Zhang Kaishan and successfully master the situation in Shangjun County.

Although Shangjun County is only a county, Gu Shanmin and Lu Zhenghong have poured huge efforts into Shangjun County, which has led to the situation in Shangjun County today. It can be said that Shangjun County is a beautiful peach. If this peach is picked by Tian Xiaopeng and becomes a dazzling political achievement in his official career, it is something Lu Zhenghong cannot accept.

At this time, if Su Xinghui can successfully make Notte United Steel Company's investment land in Pengjiawanzhen, he can successfully offset the influence of the electrolytic aluminum plant, at least maintain the current situation, or at worst, compete with Tian Xiaopeng in Shangjun County.
