Chapter 1793

Lai Bin and Guan Deyi were both very happy to hear this; since the main leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government were so supportive of this forum, they had nothing to fear.

Wan Ping was likewise unafraid; they were the only county from their city participating in this forum, and him building a good relationship with Su Xinghui was something the city's main leaders supported in the first place.

Guan Deyi said, "That's good then. Little Brother Su, tell us, what exactly is the content to be discussed at this forum? Let us have some preparation."

Su Xinghui said, "This forum is naturally a good thing. Haven't the main contents already been told to you? Strengthening economic cooperation, mutual benefit, common development, and common prosperity!"

Lai Bin said, "Little Brother Su, stop keeping us in suspense. If there's any good news, tell us quickly; even old Lai here is itching with curiosity. Isn't it said that investors will also be attending this forum?"

Guan Deyi and Wan Ping both looked at Su Xinghui with burning eyes; the matter of investors was what they cared about most.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll talk about the matter of the investors. This time, quite a few investors are coming to our Changshan to find good projects to invest in. My intention is not to have all these investors set up factories in Changshan. Since I've long had the idea of establishing a Tianyue Mountain Range Economic Cooperation Zone, I've brought you county magistrates together to let you talk with these investors."

Lai Bin, Guan Deyi, and Wan Ping were all both shocked and delighted. They exchanged glances; they never expected that attending this economic forum would actually bring such a good thing!

Guan Deyi asked, "Little Brother Su, you're just introducing these investors to us for no reason? Are there any conditions?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Conditions naturally exist, and there are a few. The first condition is that it must be an industry suitable for your county; you can't just grab anything that comes into the basket. Do you agree to this?"

The three county magistrates naturally understood this point; it was a matter of course, and they all nodded in agreement.

Su Xinghui said, "The second condition is that there must be a reasonable layout for the invested industries. You cannot engage in vicious competition; you must form industrial complementarity. Only then can we achieve common development and common prosperity."

The three county magistrates nodded again; they certainly wouldn't oppose this point either.

"The third condition is that the introduced industries must be combined with the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery industries in your counties to form an industrial chain. Only then will there be long-term sustainability for development."

"The fourth condition is that it must be environmentally friendly. We cannot lose our green mountains and clear waters for the sake of gold and silver mountains; this is the fundamental basis for us mountainous counties."

"Those are the four conditions. The three of you big brothers, think about it carefully. What do you think?"

Hearing these four conditions, the three county magistrates looked at each other in dismay. It wasn't because these four conditions were too harsh; on the contrary, they were simply too lenient. Could there really be such a good thing?

Wan Ping asked, "Little Brother Su, are there no other conditions?"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "None."

The three of them agreed in unison, "Fine, we agree to these conditions."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "That's good. However, just agreeing to my conditions isn't enough; you still need to make contact with those investors yourselves. You must ensure that other conditions in your counties can satisfy the investors. Only if someone's conditions are better will the investors be interested. However, you cannot engage in vicious competition, and you cannot propose unrealistic preferential policies to attract investors."

Guan Deyi shook his head and said, "Old Guan here wouldn't do such a thing. What kind of person would that make me?"

Lai Bin and Wan Ping also stated one after another that they wouldn't do so. Lai Bin even added, "If anyone does that and we find out, we won't let them play with us at the next forum."

Guan Deyi and Wan Ping both nodded in approval.

Su Xinghui said, "Of course, if you want to integrate this economic cooperation zone more closely, you still need to improve the transportation in your counties, especially the inter-county roads between the counties within the economic cooperation zone."

Guan Deyi nodded and said, "We must get the roads built, even if we have to sell everything we own."

After Su Xinghui finished explaining the main points, Lai Bin asked, "Little Brother Su, what exactly are you aiming for by doing this?"
