Chapter 3315

Although Wu Weihong was over forty, her eyes still shone with brilliance, making Su Xinghui have to sigh that this woman was indeed born with charm. No wonder Jin Fuqiang's relationship with her had always been so good.

At the very least, what he saw in the media were always scenes of the two being affectionate.

Jin Fuqiang said, "Weihong, you are wronging me. I would never dislike you. Feel free to eat more."

Wu Weihong laughed, "Alright, then I'll eat a little more today. The food here is indeed delicious; Mayor Su has good taste."

Jin Fuqiang then raised his glass to Su Xinghui and said, "Come, Weihong, let's toast Mayor Su together and thank him for his hospitality today."

The two of them raised their glasses together to toast Su Xinghui.

Although Jin Fuqiang was from Hujiang, he had spent his youth in the streets, where drinking was a common occurrence. He had drunk all kinds of high-proof liquor, so even though this local Baozhou sorghum liquor was quite strong, he didn't take it to heart.

After three rounds of drinks, Jin Fuqiang said solemnly, "Mayor Su, actually, I came here this time to apologize to you."

Su Xinghui said, "President Jin, you overstate it. What do you have to apologize to me for?"

Jin Fuqiang said, "My subordinates didn't understand the rules and actually hid from me to engage in irregular operations in Baozhou, disrupting the real estate market and adding a lot of trouble to your work, Mayor Su. So I came specifically to apologize to you."

Su Xinghui said, "Since it was your subordinates who hid the irregular operations from you, President Jin, then you don't have any responsibility."

Jin Fuqiang said, "As the saying goes, one must bear leadership responsibility."

Leadership responsibility is a responsibility that only leading cadres can bear, but Jin Fuqiang saying it like this at this moment was quite appropriate.

Su Xinghui said, "This matter has already happened. As long as the Baozhou branch of the Fuqiang Company accepts our punishment, that's fine. But in the future, President Jin must strictly demand that your subordinates do not let such things happen again."

Jin Fuqiang nodded and said, "I have always strictly demanded from my subordinates, but some are too eager for quick success. Plus, there are too many branches across the country, so sometimes I can't manage them all. Now that such a thing has happened, I will definitely strengthen ideological education again."

Speaking of which, Jin Fuqiang really did vigorously promote ideological education in his company, making it look both red and expert. However, what happened behind the scenes, no one knew.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "That's good."

At this time, Yin Zhe finished his meal and said he would go out first. Su Xinghui nodded, greeted Jin Fuqiang and Wu Weihong, and he went out.

Watching Yin Zhe's back as he left, Jin Fuqiang said, "Coming to Baozhou this time and seeing the achievements in Baozhou's construction makes me feel very encouraged. Mayor Su is indeed a person of great talent."

Su Xinghui said, "President Jin is too polite."

Jin Fuqiang said, "Seeing that Baozhou City is developing so well, I would like to increase my investment in Baozhou City."

Su Xinghui smiled faintly and said, "Oh, what kind of investment does President Jin want to increase?"

Jin Fuqiang said, "Mayor Su, any kind of investment you want is fine."

Su Xinghui asked, "President Jin, isn't your Fuqiang Company in real estate development and financial securities? Are you also preparing to invest in other fields now?"

Jin Fuqiang said, "Isn't the current trend diversified management? I have also been planning to develop towards diversified management recently. I haven't found a suitable investment location yet. Now that I have seen the development situation in Baozhou, I think Baozhou is a very suitable investment location."

Diversified management? Su Xinghui knew that Jin Fuqiang was a pure profit-seeking capitalist, not an entrepreneur. Would a person like him engage in diversified management? He wouldn't waste his brain on that. As long as his relationship with Tang Wenyu was good, doing well in financial securities and real estate was enough. What industry had higher profits than those two?

Su Xinghui said, "Oh, really? President Jin also wants to engage in diversified management? Then you are welcome! I wonder what industry President Jin wants to invest in? And how much capital are you prepared to invest?"

Jin Fuqiang pondered for a moment and said, "As for what industry to invest in, I still need to listen to your opinion, Mayor Su. As for the investment amount, it should be no less than one billion. If the prospects are good, I will add more in the future."

Hearing this number, Su Xinghui's expression did not change; he just smiled faintly.

Su Xinghui already roughly knew the purpose of Jin Fuqiang's visit this time. This should be a kind of exchange, right? He was using investment to trade for a lighter punishment, or even no punishment at all. However, was that possible?

The reason Jin Fuqiang used this method to trade with Su Xinghui was also Tang Wenyu's suggestion. This could also be considered a test.

Tang Wenyu considered himself to understand the mindset of such young cadres very clearly. They were eager to advance, so they valued political achievements very much, especially people like Su Xinghui. He might not love money or women, but he must love political achievements.

This could be seen from Su Xinghui's resume over the years. The reason Su Xinghui was able to be promoted like a rocket was because his political achievements were outstanding, even excellent. Tang Wenyu believed that even if he were in those positions, he couldn't have done better than Su Xinghui.

Such people generally had a paranoid pursuit of political achievements. The investment of a tycoon like Jin Fuqiang should still be attractive to Su Xinghui.

Jin Fuqiang asked Tang Wenyu what number he should say. Tang Wenyu said it must be at least over one billion. If it were less, it would have no attraction to Su Xinghui. Among the investment projects in Baozhou over the past two years, the investment of the Ernest company alone was several billion. If Jin Fuqiang's investment amount were low, Su Xinghui wouldn't even look at it.

Therefore, Jin Fuqiang said one billion today and added that if the prospects were good, he would add more later.

Actually, Jin Fuqiang's funds were not really sufficient right now. He couldn't take out this one billion all at once, but it didn't matter. Investment didn't require taking out all one billion at once. Investment is a process that can be divided into several phases.
