Chapter 251 Shameless
That night, the beautiful Chuncheng City Investment Group girl, who had had a brief relationship with Xie Jingxing, heard the news and came to reinforce the blocking position. Xie Jingxing loaded his gun and drew his bayonet, and charged desperately with the enemy in front of him. He collapsed due to exhaustion and his escape plan failed.
The district would not resort to such unpresentable means; she came here on her own initiative to relive the old days and have a good meal.
But the next day, the chairman of their municipal investment company also arrived; Director Wang of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce became Xiao Wang, and the leaders directly under the provincial department showed up; the district's chief leaders stepped aside, and the city's No. 2 in charge of the economy took over the command of the blocking battle.
In the blink of an eye, the encirclement formed by the district + municipal bureau was upgraded to a higher level on the spot. The high-end lineup of the city + provincial department naturally has a high-end fighting style.
On the first day, Xie Jingxing was invited to visit key provincial industry pillar enterprises, on the second day he went to school to experience cultural construction, and on the third day he attended a business conference, during which he never mentioned investment promotion.
On the fourth day, the city took the lead in organizing a symposium for the Yunhe Logistics Park project. Commerce, industrial information, ecological environment, development and reform, commerce... all the provincial and ministerial-level units that could be involved were present, with the city's No. 1 in charge.
Guandu District should not think of monopolizing this good thing. The "Airport Economic Development Zone" that the city has been planning for five years is expected to be launched at the end of the year. Yunhe Logistics Park is very suitable to be the first batch of companies to move in.
The largest cold chain logistics and transportation project in the southwest region is small in scale, so if we are to do it, we want to make it the largest in the country, or even the largest in Asia.
Based in Chuncheng and connected to Ruili and other customs ports, it has formed a logistics industry cluster effect with one leader and three centers, and has become a national logistics hub city.
Yunhe will invest no less than 20 billion yuan in Chuncheng Logistics Park, develop a 20-ton cold chain warehouse in the Airport Economic Zone, and select four key cities/prefectures in the province to invest no less than 50 billion yuan, with a total investment of no less than billion yuan to establish a logistics network.
Eight years later, the annual output value will reach 500 billion, creating jobs.
800 acres of warehousing land, an international logistics bonded zone, a supply guarantee project for daily necessities in the province, the introduction of supporting upstream and downstream industrial chain enterprises, a total cash reward of 1 million yuan from the province and the city, low-interest loans from municipal investment companies and banks, and all relevant policies have been given the green light.
——A big leader is a big leader. After accumulating strength for three days, he will directly empty the ammunition depot.
The firepower was fierce. Xie Jingxing looked at the leaders who had black circles on their heads and wondered how many hours they had slept in the past few days. He felt a little touched.
"Leaders, the logistics industry in our province is relatively scattered. Take Chuncheng City as an example. Logistics companies are mainly concentrated in Guandu and Chenggong districts, and inter-provincial freight is mainly sent to other provincial capitals and cities. While the logistics network within the province is well developed, there is often a cyclical imbalance between supply and demand in warehousing."
But business is business. Guan Linhui looked at the document and said implicitly: "We found through our research that it is the first industry that is developed in the province and has created a distinctive logistics industry."
Xie Jingxing lowered his head slightly, covered his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly. The leaders sitting opposite him were speechless for a moment.
Yunnan's industrial economy is based on agricultural products, and seasonal goods such as flowers, tobacco leaves, fruit and coffee fluctuate too much. During the walnut picking season every year, all logistics and warehousing companies in Spring City, big and small, are overwhelmed, and once the picking season is over, warehouses are largely vacant.
It is just empty talk to want to develop the tertiary industry of logistics without the secondary industry of industrial products. Moreover, the main demand of the primary agricultural products is cold chain transportation, which is separated from cross-border integrated logistics transportation.
Last year, Yunnan's trade volume with ASEAN was only a few tens of billions, while neighboring Guangxi's was over 100 billion. The future development prospects are one for South Asia and ASEAN, and one for ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific region.
No matter how you calculate it, Yunhe has no need to invest billions in Yunnan to build a 10 billion ton "ground cold port". The market demand is seriously insufficient and it will lose money for at least five to eight years.
"It's important to find a solution. As long as Yunhe is willing to invest, we are ready and determined to serve the enterprise!"
A leader with a resolute face pointed his finger at the table and said in a sonorous voice: "The Yunhe Logistics Park has been completed, and the frozen trading market in our district can be relocated as a whole!"
"The current bulk flower trading market and agricultural product trading market infrastructure are gradually outdated. In the future, they can all be built around the Yunhe Logistics Park. The logistics park is an overall commercial project involving warehousing and transportation, trade transactions, and supply chain finance. The market demand also has many aspects."
Another leader forced a smile and echoed the words.
Xie Jingxing glanced at the list in front of him and checked the names. These two leaders were both from Chenggong. The flower, frozen food, and agricultural product trading markets were all in their district, and the overall logistics industry was only weaker than that of Guandu District.
Even if they want to get promoted and leave immediately, they still have to bear the pain of being criticized by their own people.
But what can be done even so? Last year, the GDP of Chenggong District was 166 billion yuan, while that of Guandu was less than 800 billion yuan, with the tertiary industry accounting for more than 60% (500 billion yuan).
The Yunhe Logistics Park project, which was under discussion and had a total investment of no less than 50 billion, would squeeze the two districts together to the point where they were exhausted. Xie Jingxing slowly let out a breath.
"As far as we know, the second phase of the ASEAN Cold Chain Center, which has just landed in Chuncheng, is under construction, and their overall supporting facilities seem to be quite good."
Mr. Xie is still young after all. Old Guan observed his expression and continued to play the cold shoulder and responded considerately, this time with very impolite words.
The ASEAN Cold Chain Logistics Center was a provincial key investment attraction project five years ago. The first phase investment was 6 million yuan, and the total investment was no less than 10 billion yuan. It was jointly organized by a local transportation company, a local tea company, and a Sino-Thai joint venture food company.
In the beginning, sufficient support policies were given, but now that this cold chain logistics center is starting its second phase of construction, it is asking the local government for land and support, including the frozen trading market.
There is insufficient market demand at the macro-industry level and there are strong competitors. This is an inexplicable mess!
The situation was at a stalemate, with leaders marching forward one after another in a tragic manner, while many Yunhe executives remained unmoved as they had seen such scenes too many times.
"I'm used to it. Poverty has taught me to be tough."
The tall and extremely fair-skinned beauty of the city investment project held a thin cigarette between her fingers, leaning lazily against the wall of the corridor and blowing out smoke rings. Their city investment project went to the Magic City to urge the "payment transfer" which was much more servile than this, otherwise they would not have specifically asked Xie Jingxing to help her stand up for this last year, even if it was just a private drinking party.
She suddenly remembered something and smiled: "Once we received a delegation from the south, and a little girl in the delegation said to me in private with great surprise that the souvenir you gave me was actually Hermès perfume."
"I don't understand." Xie Jingxing came out for some fresh air and looked out the window with his hands in his pockets.
"This big boss who doesn't eat grains is really annoying. Hermès perfume is the most expensive one."
She had to give a detailed explanation: "The Yunnan she knew was the same as the China that ordinary people in Europe and America knew. You actually have a TV in every household. Shouldn't you use the money you spent on the TV for something more useful? It's something like that."
Xie Jingxing shrugged. He had just donated fifty computers to a computer classroom and two pianos to a music classroom at the school two days ago.
"This year there are special circumstances and the business environment in the province is very bad. If you want to invest, you can strive for more conditions."
She smiled even more brightly, put out her cigarette, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If you don't want to invest, don't worry about offending people. It's more important for the leader to host a drinking party than anything else."
"What do you mean?" Xie Jingxing grabbed her hand and frowned.
She raised her arms and gently struggled to break free, then turned around and walked into the bathroom in a swaying manner. Xie Jingxing looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly slipped in.
Crash.
Xie Jingxing scooped up the water and splashed it on his face. He stood up straight in front of the mirror and was silent for a moment before returning to the meeting.
In the evening, the symposium ended without any results, and the leaders invited Yunhe’s executives to have a simple meal together.
On the way back to the hotel after the late night drinking party, the leader who insisted on seeing me off suddenly suggested: "Boss Xie, shall we get out of the car and walk a few steps?"
Xie Jingxing had no objection. The streets in the city center were a little deserted. Occasionally, a few disturbing road racing cars roared past. Young people with yellow hair and tattoos with dragons and tigers painted on their heads walked around in groups of three or five, arm in arm.
"The city bureau is not doing its job well, and we still need to strengthen social security."
The leader started the conversation in a gentle and calm manner, but Xie Jingxing couldn't continue the topic and could only listen.
He didn't care and pointed to a nearby square: "Last summer, it was very lively here every night. Locals sang and danced, and tourists liked to watch. But it disturbed the residents, and the gathering of small vendors affected the appearance of the city."
"Guan Du wants to keep the Yunhe project in its entirety in the district. Several districts have come to me with difficulties and want to develop."
He said: "As for me, I went to the provincial government to make trouble again. Yunhe is a key project in our city. Fortunately, we are the provincial capital, so it is more convenient for me to go to the provincial department than other sister cities. I can always get more benefits if I work harder."
"Leader, I am ashamed that you said that..." Xie Jingxing couldn't pretend to be dead anymore.
The leader waved his hand to interrupt, exhaling the alcohol: "Economy, economic growth of one percentage point is better than the three special public security rectification operations organized by the Municipal Bureau!"
"This year has been a tragic year for our entire province. Local people don't go out at night, so how can foreign companies dare to come and do business?"
He turned his head to look at Xie Jingxing, smiled and said: "We urgently need to introduce companies with good business brands to show companies across the country that Chuncheng is determined to restore the business environment... and there are companies willing to give us another chance."
The words were too harsh, and Xie Jing Xing had no chance to get a word in. He could only stare at his feet and move forward.
"You have invested in our local milk tea brand, produced movies in our province, and invested in a logistics park. As the chief administrative officer, I have to thank you."
The leader stopped and said, "I can't decide what will happen in eight or ten years, but Mr. Xie can. Regardless of whether the cold chain warehouse expansion project succeeds or not, I personally hope that you will not lose confidence in YN Province."
The official car that was gliding silently behind the two of them stopped, and a secretary trotted forward holding a solid wooden box.
It is a Go chess piece. The chess pieces from Yongchang, Yunnan are the best in the world. The craftsmanship of making it was lost during the Republic of China period, but it was reappeared in the 1970s and was once presented to foreign leaders as a state gift.
The black seeds are as blue as crows, as clear and transparent as autumn water in a clear pond; the white seeds are like ivory, warm, delicate and round like jade.
"I have been serving the people for a long time, but I am ashamed that I have not been able to fulfill my mission. I give you the chess piece. If your successor can make a difference, I will also be honored." The leader left after making a promise.
Don't offend anyone. With these words and this courtesy, it sounds like you won't offend anyone.
The moonlight outside the window was bright. Xie Jingxing threw down the chess pieces in his hand, scratched his head and sighed sadly: "This emotional card is a bit tricky. How do you say shameless when given face?"
This chess piece is very expensive. Too damn expensive. I have to think of a way...
