Then Yu Yan introduced Yang Yuzhen and Meng Yang. Everyone greeted them one by one.
Knowing that there were five people from Yu Yan and the others, Xue Nannan specially drove a seven-seater business car over. It just happened. At that moment, everyone boarded the business car and headed straight for the city.
It was the first time for everyone to come to the capital. When they saw the tall buildings rising from the ground, Wanyo and others were amazed. Ma He sighed: "We in Taocheng don't know when we can catch up with the capital... "
Yu Yan couldn't help but smile and said: "County magistrate, this ambition is amazing. Now all the human, financial and material resources of the whole country are tilted towards the capital. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us in Taocheng to meet this condition."
Ma He nodded and said with emotion: "Yes. The construction of the city, the development of the economy, the right time, the right place and the right people are all indispensable."
Xue Nannan smiled and said: "County magistrate, don't be anxious. Take your time. Just persevere. The mainland also has its own development path."
"That's right. Miss Xue will have to work hard this time."
"County Magistrate Ma is so polite. I am a businessman. I just want to make money in business. If there is business to be done, it must be done."
When County Magistrate Ma became more and more angry, Xue Nannan looked at him with admiration. To be honest, Ma He understood very well. If it weren't for Yu Yan's relationship, Xue Nannan would not have even looked at Taocheng County. There is so much business to do. How could Xue Nannan have done it? With so much energy, Xue Nannan spoke so plainly. Naturally, it was to take care of Ma He's face.
Yu Yan, this friend, is indeed not a simple person.
The business car slowed down slowly in front of a villa group and stopped at the door. The driver got off the car and went to the guard room to register. It looked like an ordinary villa group. I had seen many such villa groups along the way. Already.
Soon, the uniqueness of this villa group became apparent. It was not enough for the driver to get out of the car and register. A young security guard in uniform walked over with the driver, holding a book in his hand. He said to Xue Nannan He bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Miss Xue."
**Xue Nannan responded with a smile and then extended his hand.
The security guard handed the book and pen in his hand to Xue Nannan. Xue Nannan signed his name, turned around and handed it to Ma He. He smiled and said: "County Magistrate Ma, please sign your name. The procedure is a bit complicated. Mainly. It’s for safety.”
Ma He quickly took it, signed his name, and said with a smile: "The system should be strict."
To be honest, Ma He really didn't expect that there would be such a strict inspection system for entering and exiting this villa.
That is to say, there are no digital cameras yet. Otherwise, I would have to take a photo of each guest.
After the inspection, the commercial vehicle slowly drove into the park. After entering the park, I really saw the vast area of the club. The car drove for five or six minutes before stopping in front of a villa. This is a A small villa with Eastern Zhou style. It has three floors. It has a garden, tennis court and swimming pool.
As soon as they got out of the car, Ma He and others were a little stunned.
This is also a bit too luxurious.
"Mayor Magistrate Ma please."
Xue Nannan personally acted as a tour guide, which gave Ma He enough face. In these matters, the eldest lady from a noble family was indeed different. Xue Nannan knew what to do to make Yu Yan look good in front of his colleagues.
Six young waitresses in uniforms lined up neatly at the entrance of the villa, bowing and saying hello to the guests. The head waiter was a girl in her early twenties, with a round face, two dimples in her smile, and a very sweet appearance.
Seeing this posture, Ma He and others were startled. Yang Yuzhen looked in her thirties and nearly forty years old. She was wearing a very orthodox Lenin suit. She had short hair and ears. Her thoughts were as orthodox as her clothes. She was a little at a loss. She hesitated and didn't know whether she should enter this villa. In her opinion, this was a typical decadent life of the bourgeoisie. There were still waiters to serve, and there were six of them to one person. Wouldn't he become a wealthy landlord? Living in such a place Villa. No mistakes can be made.
Xue Nannan smiled and said: "County Magistrate Ma, Director Yang, this is a private place. Don't worry. This Villa No. 9 has relatively complete club facilities. It is more convenient to hold meetings, negotiations, and parties here. American guests and Japanese guests There should be no objections. Sometimes, foreigners are actually quite snobbish."
"That is, respect Luo Yi first and then respect others. It is the same at all times and in all countries."
Yu Yan said with a smile.
Westerners may not have a strict hierarchical system like ours, but a proper display of strength can also help in negotiations. At the beginning of reform and opening up, we suffered many such losses. Foreigners always regarded us as ignorant people. . Wantonly raising the threshold for cooperation. In the face of foreigners' pomp and circumstance, many domestic officials who have no negotiation experience have lost three points in terms of momentum. They can't be confident during negotiations.
After all, Ma He is the county magistrate, and his psychological quality is very good. Naturally, he cannot lose his composure at this time. Besides, Xue Nannan has arranged such a good villa, so he must be grateful. If it weren't for Yu Yan, Xue Nannan would be so polite.
Now the round-faced foreman led everyone in. The living room of the villa is naturally very spacious. It doesn't look much different from the layout of an ordinary villa living room. But to turn it into a temporary meeting room, you only need to move the chairs. Yes. There is absolutely no problem with a meeting of twenty people.
The configuration of this villa, as Yunmian Xue Nannan said, is very complete. There are eight bedrooms in total. Each bedroom has an independent bathroom, chess and card room, film screening room, and small conference room. It is not small. In the garden, there is also a pavilion, several tables and chairs, rockeries and flowing water. The environment is extremely beautiful. Go up to the third floor and open the curtains. The beautiful scenery immediately comes into view. The scenery is too beautiful to take in.
"County Magistrate Ma. It's been a hard journey. Let's all go back to our rooms and have a rest first. We'll arrange dinner later. If you have any requirements for food, you can tell the service staff. The chefs here are pretty good at it. They can cook major dishes from all over the country. Haha. Shanlu cuisine is the main specialty. Many people here are from Shanlu.”
Xue Nannan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay. It's too troublesome, Miss Xue. This arrangement is too thoughtful. It's completely beyond my expectation."
Ma He said sincerely.
"You're welcome. I will stay here for the next two days."
"That's great. But it won't affect Miss Xue's work."
Xue Nannan smiled and said: "No. The communication here is very convenient. If anything happens to the company, they will call me."
"Okay. I'm so troublesome, Miss Xue. I really don't know how to thank you."
Xue Nannan smiled and said: "County Magistrate Ma is out of touch when he says this. Yu Yan is in Taocheng County. Thank you for taking care of me. It's my turn to thank Magistrate Ma. From now on, when you arrive in the capital, whether you are on business or traveling, you will be welcome. You can come to me. I will definitely make arrangements."
Ma He naturally nodded again and again to express his gratitude.
I really have nothing to say about Yu Yan’s girlfriend. This guy is really lucky. Ma He is even a little jealous.
The round-faced foreman arranged for a waiter to lead Ma He and others into his room.
Xue Nannan personally led Yu Yan to a bedroom on the second floor and said, "You live here."
Yu Yan didn't even come in. He asked, "Where do you live?"
Xue Nannan said: "I live on the third floor, just above you."
Yu Yan chuckled and said, "I also want to live on the third floor, right next door to you."
Xue Nannan glared at him and lowered his voice angrily: "All your colleagues are here."
Yu Yan said: "What does that matter? Who said I can't live next door to you?"
Xue Nannan felt a headache. But she also knew that it was useless to be angry with this guy. Especially pretending to be angry was even more useless. It would only encourage his arrogance. But she really had to agree to his conditions. .Who knows if something might happen to him in the middle of the night? It seems that there is no word for fear in Secretary Yu’s dictionary.
In the room on the other side, Wanyo looked here and touched there. He sighed and said, "How much does it cost?"
Speaking of which, Mahe is the head of the county. Manyo's family background is not bad. Both parents are cadres in the county. In the entire Taocheng County, Mahe's family is considered to be first-class. Man'o has never been Have envied others.
But now I can’t calm down anymore. As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of seeing the goods, but be afraid of comparing them.
"No wonder they say that no matter how big an official is, he will be too small in the capital; no matter how much money there is, it will be less in the south. This is what people call living."
Wanyo said again, with a fiery light in his eyes. If I had not come to the capital this time, how could I have known that there were such luxurious residences and such a comfortable life in the world.
Ma He smiled and said: "I am a big business person."
Wanyo came over and sat down next to Ma He. He asked curiously: "What kind of business does Minister Yu's girlfriend do? She is so rich."
"I don't know exactly what the business is." Ma He nodded: "That's right. I guess. Ms. Xue's background is very powerful. She is from the capital. Who knows what the backstage is. Look at this posture. I see the backstage. Not too small."
Wan Ye was taken aback. "Hey, if that's the case, you must not go against Yu Yan. Don't imitate that fool Lao Zhang."
When it came to Lao Zhang, Wan Ye showed a look of disdain.
There has never been a county party secretary who was like Lao Zhang and almost became the laughing stock of the entire county cadres. Even young lesbians like Wan Ye looked down upon him.
Ma He smiled and said: "How could I be against him? Why don't we talk about the project together? Oh, the bigger Miss Xue's ostentation, the more at ease I feel. With such a big boss to build a bridge, I guess this matter It's really going to happen. To be honest, I didn't have much hope at first. Think about it, where is Taocheng? People are Americans and Japanese. Why should they give us loans? Now it seems that as long as Xue The lady is working hard to promote it. There is still hope. With money and machinery and equipment, this matter will be easier to handle and we can achieve results."
"Yes. As long as this matter is done, I don't believe the higher-ups are still pressuring you. Even if we are queuing up, it's your turn."
Ma He just laughed.
In the officialdom, it is true that seniority is important, but a key position like county party committee secretary cannot be promoted simply based on seniority. The most important thing is that there is someone above him who can match it with some impressive political achievements. That would be even better. Now, of course, he has no reason to be at odds with Yue Yan. The reason why he was accepted by Zhang Siwen was all because of Yu Yan. Zhang Siwen needed him and Yu Yan to support each other and check and balance each other in Taocheng County. After all* Finally, there is the governor of a province. This less formal way of checking and balancing is most appropriate. But in this process, as long as Ma He shows his ability, he can truly win Zhang Siwen's favor. It is said that the future is limitless. At least there is hope for further progress. The prerequisite is that Ma He cannot fall out with Yu Yan.
Now it seems that Yu Yan is really interesting. If this matter is completed, Ma He's political achievements will come out. Of course, Yu Yan is in charge of the mineral industry, and he will have a share in the achievements. This is called happiness for everyone. .
"Okay. Ignore him. Now that he's here, you can take a walk here for the next two days. Ask Yang Yuzhen to accompany you."
Ma He said with a smile.
At about five o'clock, Yu Yan and Xue Nannan came together to greet Ma He and others to the restaurant. **Xue Nannan had changed into a more casual outfit. It looked very similar to the outfit Yu Yan was wearing. They are all from the same brand. Louis Vuitton. It should be what later generations would call couple outfits.
Xue Nannan put on makeup again. She only put on some rouge and a light lipstick. She also let down her exquisite bun. In an instant, she changed from a noble and elegant strong woman to a young and beautiful urban beauty. There is something else. A different kind of style. The transition is natural. There is no force at all.
Ma He smiled and said: "Miss Xue, you look like this. I dare to think of you as Minister Yu's girlfriend."
Yu Yan immediately became very angry and said: "County Magistrate Ma, you are really hurting me like this. Do you mean that I can't stand on the stage like that?"
What he said made everyone laugh.
We had dinner at the club’s restaurant. It mainly focused on seafood and also had authentic Shanlu cuisine. While eating, we enjoyed the spectacular view of the golden snakes dancing under the sunset. It was so beautiful.
It can be considered a clear division of labor.
Xue Nannan's work efficiency was extremely high. Early the next morning, he arranged for a staff member of the club to drive to accompany Wan Ye and Yang Yuzhen to visit the capital area.
It is expected that the club staff will arrange everything. As for the expenses, they will naturally be borne by Hongyu Company. Afterwards, the club will hand over the bill to Xue Nannan for signature.
Ma He Yuyan set up a negotiating posture in the living room of Villa No. 9. The other party to the negotiation was Xue Nannan and the manager of the Zhouzhou Business Department of Hongyu Company. The so-called Zhouzhou Business Department of Hongyu Company was just two months ago. The newly-created department currently has only one country to deal with, and that is the Soviet Union. This business department was basically set up specifically to purchase machinery, equipment and other valuables from the Soviet Union.
The manager of the business department is surnamed Dong. He is from the Northeast. He is in his thirties. He is a very burly man. He looks like a smart man. It is said that he has been engaged in border trade for a long time. There are a group of buddies there who are very interested in the Soviet Union. Everything is clear. Look, he was able to obtain a large amount of mining equipment and other heavy equipment from the Soviet Union in just two months. He is indeed a capable guy.
In this negotiation, County Magistrate Ma and Manager Dong played the leading roles. Minister Yu and Miss Xue accompanied them. Meng Yang was responsible for recording.
Manager Dong was well prepared. He took out a lot of information from his bulging briefcase, many of which were pictures, and gave it to Ma He for review. Ma He looked at it carelessly. It was not that he was not serious about his work. The main thing was that he trusted Xue Nannan and
With Yu Yan and Xue Nannan in such a pomp, it is expected that he would not have any idea of Taocheng County. The key point is that Yu Yan himself is in charge of the mining industry in Taocheng County. If he makes a name for himself in such a matter, it is not self-defeating.
His own signature. Yu Yan does not seem to care about money. What he cares about must be his political future.
Manager Dong was very conscientious and introduced the performance and main technical parameters of this batch of mining machinery to Ma He in detail. Converted into domestic currency, the total amount was more than 72 million yuan, which was paid in installments in three years.
Ma He was very satisfied with the mechanical equipment, but he had different views on the payment method. He looked at Xue Nannan and said, "Miss Xue, if possible, I still recommend a one-time payment."
Xue Nannan smiled and said: "Of course it is best if you can pay it in one go. In terms of price, it can be more favorable. We have negotiated with the Soviet Union for three-year installment payment. If your county makes a one-time payment, we will pay the interest ourselves.
Come and bear it. I'm afraid this amount is relatively large. There may be some difficulties in paying it in one go."
Ma He smiled and said: "It depends on the outcome of the subsequent negotiations. If it can be obtained, I still suggest that a one-time payment is better."
Ma He's insistence makes sense. He is currently the mayor of Taocheng County and the general manager of Taocheng County Energy Management Company. During his term of office, he can guarantee on-time repayment. But our country implements the system of official transfer.
Although three years is not too long, it is enough for a lot of changes to happen. Especially since Mahe County Magistrate has been in office for more than two years, he has no intention of serving for another three years. If he is transferred, the successor magistrate will
I don't know what his style is. It is not impossible to default on payment.
Of course. With Xue Nannan's strength and backing in the country, he is not afraid of Taocheng County defaulting on debts, public debts, and the county magistrate privately offending powerful people. Such things are completely inconsistent with the unspoken rules of domestic officialdom. It's just that there is some trouble after all. Xue Nannan
After helping him so much, if he turned against Taocheng County in the end because of money, Ma He felt that it would be unjustifiable no matter what.
It would be best to be able to pay the entire amount in one go. This will save you the worry.
It depends on the outcome of the subsequent negotiations with the Americans and the Japs. If we can really get this loan, then there will be a solution.
Xue Nannan was born into an official family. As soon as Ma He expressed this intention, he immediately knew his true thoughts. He smiled slightly and said, "Since County Magistrate Ma insists, of course I have no objection. I believe that as long as both parties are sincere, the loan matter
