Material Empire

Before Qin Hai could figure out how to divert the topic in front of him, the car had already driven into the courtyard of the small guest house of the municipal government. The director of the guest house, Zheng Xiuzhu, had been waiting there with four beautiful waitresses wearing cheongsams and shoulder straps. Seeing the Audi car driving in, Zheng Xiuzhu ran a few steps, came to the car, and bowed to finish the job. Prepared for the salute.

Rao Ronggen's secretary got out of the car first, opened the door on Qin Hai's side first, asked Qin Hai to get out of the car, and then went to pull the door on Rao Ronggen's side to let Rao Ronggen get out of the car. This order was also explained by Rao Ronggen in advance, which can be regarded as giving Qin Hai enough face.

"Hi, Mr. Qin, I am Zheng Xiuzhu, the director of the Municipal Government Guest House, and I welcome you." Zheng Xiuzhu saluted Qin Hai, and then a waiter behind him stepped forward and delivered a bouquet of flowers to Qin Hai's hand superior.

"Thank you, Director Zheng, and thank you for this little girl." Qin Hai nodded to Zheng Xiuzhu and the waiter who presented flowers respectively, but he was slandering Zheng Xiuzhu's name in his heart. This man is six feet tall, but his waist is eight feet. It is a waste of such a delicate name given by his parents. It would be quite appropriate if this name was given to the girl who offered flowers. This girl is slender and has a good face, which looks quite seductive.

"Xiao Zheng, are you ready?" Rao Ronggen came over and asked Zheng Xiuzhu arrogantly.

"It's all ready, Mayor Rao." Zheng Xiuzhu smiled all over his face, "According to your request, everything is prepared according to the highest standard."

"Qin is always our distinguished guest in Jintang City. If you don't entertain him well, I'm the only one to ask." Rao Ronggen put on airs.

Qin Hai looked at this scene dumbfounded. He knew that after the Daqin Group was established, there would be more and more investment trips like this, and such boring entertainment would inevitably follow. In his previous life, he was a technician. Although he would receive a warm reception wherever he went, it would not be as grand as it is now. Alas, it seems that the job of chairman is not something everyone can do.

At this time, the cars of Shen Chuanming, Ning Mo and others also drove into the small yard one after another, and the yard was crowded with people like on the train platform just now, full of joy. Under the leadership of Rao Ronggen, the guests and the host walked into the restaurant of the guest house and sat down in order.

"Today, we are very honored to invite Mr. Qin Hai, a famous entrepreneur in our country, to gather with us and talk about the great cause of Jintang's development. I suggest that everyone raise their glasses and welcome Mr. Qin Hai to Jintang!"

Rao Ronggen raised his wine glass and made a toast speech. Everyone got up together and echoed in a chaotic manner.

Next, of course, there were toasting ceremonies of various names. Officials from all walks of life in Jintang initiated one after another. Qin Hai and Ning Mo dealt with several city-level officials. As for the department-level officials below, they were all handed over to Heizi. dealt with. Qin Hai believed that with Heizi's ability, even with one against ten, he would be able to bring down all these small officials.

"President Qin, you don't know that the cadres and masses of our Jintang have been waiting for your arrival. In Shannan Province, Jintang used to be a city with the top three economic rankings. In recent years, because chemical companies have stopped production, we It has fallen to the bottom three in the province, and we are waiting for Mr. Qin to come to Jintang to help us revitalize Jintang's economy."

Rao Ronggen graciously gave Qin Hai a few good dishes with chopsticks, and then spoke to him in a heart-to-heart tone.

Qin Hai thanked him, and then said lightly: "After listening to Mayor Rao's words, I feel a lot of pressure. We are very willing to contribute a little to the development of Jintang, but we, a small Jintang Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. The material group company, if it wants to take on the responsibility of revitalizing Jintang’s economy, I’m afraid it’s more than enough.”

"No, no, we are very familiar with Mr. Qin's strength." Rao Ronggen said, "Mr. Qin came to our Jintang last year and merged Jinnan Chemical Factory, Hongguang FRP Factory and other enterprises. Now these enterprises have all been brought back to life and have become our major taxpayers in Jintang. Mr. Qin has the ability to turn stones into gold, and help our Jintang revitalize the economy, but it is just a matter of hand."

Qin Haidao: "To tell you the truth, I came to Jintang this time to invest in the construction of two chemical plants to form a chemical industrial cluster with Jinnan Plant and Hongguang Plant. If Mayor Rao means that we hope There is no problem if we make more contributions to the chemical industry in Jintang. As for the economy of Jintang as a whole, please forgive us for our inability to do anything.”

Shen Chuanming, who was sitting opposite Qin Hai, interjected: "I heard that Mr. Qin invested in the construction of a steel plant in Beixi, and also acquired Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. It can be seen that Mr. Qin's business is not limited to the chemical industry. We also have There are quite a few machinery companies, and some of them have a very good foundation, but their products are not marketable enough, which has caused difficulties in their operations. Our city government is considering restructuring these companies, and I don’t know if Mr. Qin is interested in this.”

Qin Hai smiled and said: "Mayor Shen, I'm really sorry, I may not be very interested in the restructuring of the machinery company you mentioned. Our group does have different businesses, but when it comes to Jintang, we temporarily We only intend to set foot in the chemical industry, which is convenient for resource integration and management. The machinery industry you mentioned, we currently only plan to put it in Beixi, and this is also because our original industry in Beixi was in the machinery field."

"So that's the case." Shen Chuanming nodded, "It seems that we were indeed a little abrupt."

Rao Ronggen took Shen Chuanming's words and said: "Mayor Chuanming's mood is also understandable. It is really because our current economic situation in Jintang is too bad. Mayor Chuanming also shared my worries. As the mayor, Even the salaries of government agencies and public institutions in the city cannot be guaranteed, and primary and secondary school teachers in several counties below have not received their salaries for three months, tell me, can we not be in a hurry?"

"Is it that bad?" Qin Hai was taken aback.

He has never done local administrative work, so he doesn't know the local financial situation. According to the division of labor, primary and secondary school education funds are borne by the local finance. If the finance does not have money, it is impossible to guarantee the salary of primary and secondary school teachers. In those days, it was not uncommon for financially stressed areas like Jintang, and it was not uncommon for government staff not to receive wages for several months, not to mention primary and secondary schools with lower status than government agencies.

The decline of Jintang's economy was already felt when Qin Hai came here for the first time. But this time, he was warmly welcomed by Rao Ronggen as soon as he got off the train. He sat in an Audi 100 sedan, ate delicacies from mountains and seas, and the liquor on the table was all expensive and famous wines, so he felt that Jintang might not be like a street. It looks so poor. Unexpectedly, when Rao Ronggen opened his mouth, what he said was much worse than what Qin Hai expected.

"Mayor Zhu, come here and report the situation of our Jintang Education to Mr. Qin." Rao Ronggen raised his hand and greeted a middle-aged man sitting at another table.

That man was the deputy mayor of Jintang City in charge of education, named Zhu Yichen. Today's reception, the municipal government has already rehearsed in advance, and the division of labor is clear. Shen Chuanming's task was to sell to Qin Hai those companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy in the city. According to everyone's analysis, they believed that Qin Hai would not be interested in these companies. After Shen Chuanming's sales failed, Rao Ronggen was responsible for bringing the topic to Jintang's economic difficulties. After that, it was Zhu Yichen's turn to ask Qin Hai for alms.

Shen Chuanming's sales promotion was not aimless. His purpose was to distract Qin Hai's attention and make Qin Hai feel guilty for not doing anything for Jintang, so that it would be easier for Zhu Yichen to ask for alms again. Without Shen Chuanming's side, Qin Hai would think that he has made a lot of contributions to Jintang by investing in a chemical company in Jintang, and he has no obligation to do other things.

It has to be said that when it comes to money issues, the wisdom of the officials is infinite and their thinking is extremely meticulous. What they have to do is to set up a trap and slowly lead Qin Hai into a trap.

Hearing Rao Ronggen's call, Zhu Yichen hurried over, pulled a chair, and sat beside Qin Hai. In order to perform today's scene well, Zhu Yichen put in a lot of effort, and specially changed into a set of old clothes, making people feel like a poor mayor at first glance.

"President Qin, I dare not come here to disturb you unless the mayor calls me. In fact, I really want to express our gratitude to President Qin on behalf of our 38,000 teachers in Jintang." Zhu Yichen said in a sincere tone.

"Mayor Zhu, don't say that. I haven't done anything, and I can't stand your thanks." Qin Hai waved his hand and said.

"Why didn't you do anything?" Zhu Yichen said with his eyes wide open. He pointed to Ning Mo next to him and said, "Boss Ning can testify that last year Jinnan Factory, Hongguang Factory and several other companies jointly donated 100,000 yuan." Yuan, used for Jintang's education. Mr. Ning said, this is what you specifically explained."

"Oh, this is what we should do, Mayor Zhu doesn't have to worry about it." Qin Hai nodded and said.

The matter of donating to education was indeed explained by him. Not only a few enterprises in Jintang, including Qingfeng Factory, Quwu Ceramics Company, etc., Qin Hai asked these enterprises to withdraw a certain percentage of their profits every year to support local education. His purpose of doing this is firstly because he feels that the current investment in education is insufficient and hopes that he can do his part; secondly, he wants to use this method to narrow the relationship between the enterprise and the local government.

After all, an enterprise must deal with the local government, and assuming some local social responsibilities can improve the image of the enterprise in the eyes of the government, which is also beneficial to the development of the enterprise.
