Zhou Nan went to the county party committee in the morning to find Zhang Qiang, the county party secretary. He originally said he would be back at noon, but he did not come back. County party secretary Zhang Qiang left him to eat at noon, so Zhou Nan had to give Secretary Zhang some face.
The "account demand incident" shocked the entire Ningshan Town government. Of course, those who felt embarrassed and awkward were the few cadres with the right to sign and all the leaders at the town level.
It is no exaggeration to say that of the more than 110,000 foreign debts owed by the town, excluding less than 30% of normal official expenses and basic entertainment expenses for receiving visitors from superiors, at least more than 70,000 were owed by this part of the town's "minority"
"People" are "consumed".
If it hadn't been for the "debt collection" incident this time, the cadres in the town would not have realized that the amount of food and drink they spent every year was such a huge amount.
Zhang Zhijun, director of the Party and Government Office, and several people from the Party and Government Office began to sort out all the documents and white slips, because Zhou Nan not only wanted a clear total, but also wanted to see clear arrears items, even down to who signed and who paid.
to the point where Zhang Zhijun had to have people sort them out in a unified manner.
At the same time, for the white notes signed by the town leaders, we verify them with the town leaders involved one by one. In fact, we are saying hello to these leaders in advance so that they have an idea.
Qiu Gang and others were very angry. Even an ordinary staff member like Song Xiaolin could guess that someone was secretly instigating the mastermind behind this "account demand incident", let alone leading cadres like them.
In Qiu Gang's office, the deputy mayor Ma Zhongling sighed and said, "Old Qiu, Sun Wenge's move was so damaging. He almost tied us all together and put us on the chopping board to be slaughtered. Who is he?"
What do you want to do?"
"He just wants to pose a problem to Secretary Zhou... But in fact, what does this have to do with Secretary Zhou? I'm a newbie here, so I can just push it and refuse to acknowledge these debts... At most, I can go to the county.
Once the report is made, let the county handle it..." Qiu Gang sighed and cursed, "Sun Wenge is a mad dog, he signed the most on the white note...it's a stupid thing!"
"If you want to conquer Zhou Nan's army, we people will become the victims... Lao Qiu, do you think Zhou Nan will..." Ma Zhongling looked at Qiu Gang with some worry and lowered his voice and said, "He will go to the county in the morning
I’m looking for Secretary Zhang, do you think he will bring the matter to the county? If it is brought to the county, our town will be embarrassed."
"Probably not." Qiu Gang pondered for a moment, "This would hit too broad a target, and he wouldn't do it."
"How many orders have you signed?" Qiu Gang glanced at Ma Zhongling and asked.
Ma Zhongling smiled awkwardly, "I can't remember clearly, maybe there are a dozen or so. Grandma, isn't this a normal thing? Sun Wenge is such a beast, he eats and drinks the most. Look at him at the meeting in the afternoon.
What to say!"
"It's useless to say all this, the matter has already happened... By the way, can the town still come up with money? It is said that it is not more than a hundred thousand..." Qiu Gang lit a cigarette by himself in annoyance, feeling deeply
Take a deep breath.
"I see... Lao Qiu, you have to know that these debts seem to be debts for a year, but they are actually accumulated year by year. In the years that you and I have been in Ningshan Town, there have been times when the town did not owe foreign debts.
Is there a year when the east wall is not demolished to make up for the west wall..." Ma Zhongling shook his head and said, "Let's see how Zhou Nan handles it, anyway -"
Before Ma Zhongling finished speaking, he suddenly saw Sun Wenge's figure outside the window and quickly stopped talking.
"What is he here for?" Ma Zhongling and Qiu Gang exchanged a hasty look. At this moment, Sun Wenge had already walked in.
Glancing at Ma Zhongling and Qiu Gang lightly, Sun Wenge had a faintly cunning and smug smile on his lips, "Lao Qiu, Lao Ma, I heard that many people come to the town to cause trouble? Ask for money from the town? Really?
If you rebel against these people, when will the town stop paying back the money it owes them?"
"I wasn't there at the time. If I were there, I would have called the people from the police station to see if they were still arrogant!"
Qiu Gang's face twitched when he heard this, but he smiled and said, "Mayor Sun, after all, it's the money owed by the town, and we can't afford it. The Party and Government Office is sorting out the accounts, and Secretary Zhou will convene a meeting in the afternoon.
, let’s see how the leader handles it.”
"It's only a few hundred thousand, isn't it a lot? Not much! There's no need to make a fuss. After all, we are also a first-level party committee government. To maintain the operation of such a large stall, the town's funds have always been insufficient. It is normal to owe some debt... Which township
Don’t you owe any debts now? No. At least, we don’t have any in our county!”
"Don't take it too seriously, just pay it off step by step. This is not someone's corruption and waste, it is a normal official expenditure - if the superiors come to the work group, can you not accept it? If the county leaders come to inspect the work, can you still
Don’t you want to invite the leader to a meal?”
Sun Wenge smiled nonchalantly, but Qiu Gang and Ma Zhongling remained silent and did not echo his words.
Sun Wenge's intentions can be seen by any fool. He was doing this behind the scenes just because he wanted to "take advantage of the chaos". First, he wanted to see Zhou Nan's jokes, give him a difficult problem, and conquer him;
The purpose was to prepare a trap, hoping to "seduce" Zhou Nan. Once Zhou Nan loses his temper, he will fall into a situation of "betraying everyone and alienating relatives".
The reason is simple. After all, this kind of thing involves a wide range of things, involving all members of the leadership team and most of the middle-level cadres. As long as Zhou Nan "can't calm down", he will definitely attack everyone. In this way, the impact will be huge.
Therefore, everyone will invisibly stand on the opposite side of Zhou Nan.
Sun Wenge knew that Zhou Nan had gone to the county party committee, and he was hoping that Zhou Nan would expose this matter. It would be best to complain to the county leaders, so as to make the matter bigger.
Seeing that Qiu Gang and the others "didn't buy it", Sun Wenge smiled coldly and walked out again, "You guys talk, I have something to do when I go out."
Looking at Sun Wenge's back as he left triumphantly, Qiu Gang couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "You bastard, Ningshan Town has been destroyed in his hands in the past two years. If he hadn't been here, we would have done it long ago.
Made some achievements.”
"Yes, when the old secretary was here, there were several projects that were feasible. For example, the steel rolling mill project was originally negotiated with the other party, but because of this stupid bastard who was fighting for power with the old secretary, in the end
He’s gone..." Ma Zhongling also waved his hand angrily, "This guy is just a typical ruffian. He doesn’t know anything and doesn’t know how to do anything. He only knows how to fight for power and gain!"
"He is proud to have Sun Fuli supporting him. I heard that he and Sun Fuli..." Ma Zhongling said again.
Qiu Gang hissed, "Don't talk nonsense if it involves the leadership, Lao Ma, don't say it!"
Ma Zhongling snorted, "I think his good days are over, and the days of covering the sky with one hand are gone forever. Our new Secretary Zhou, I don't think it's easy... Look, he has only been here a few days.
It’s fine if you don’t take action, but once you take action, you can knock down Sun Wenge’s arrogance, which is really satisfying!”
Qiu Gang let out a sigh of relief, "Well, I think this one can do it. The previous old secretary was still too weak and was crushed by Sun Wenge... This Secretary Zhou is different, he is a very strong leader!"
"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. I'll go to the party and government office to check the situation. Lao Ma, you'd better be mentally prepared. I guess the next step is that Secretary Zhou will rectify the town's financial expenditures. You will be in charge of finance.
You need to be prepared in advance and don’t be in a hurry when the time comes.”
After Qiu Gang said this, he strode out of the office and walked to the party and government offices.
When Zhou Nan went to the county to report to Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, Lan Ruo brought several people from the external investment department of Feiteng Group Headquarters to Huayin City, a neighboring area in Ningnan, to negotiate a merger and acquisition project for a canning company.
Although Huayin City is one of the poor areas in the south-central region of Binhai Province, Zhendong County in Huayin is a major fruit-producing county. Almost every household grows apples, pears and peaches, with huge output. However, although the county's fruit output is large,
But basically it is not exported very much, and all is supplied internally to several fruit canneries in the county as raw materials.
The canning processing industry in Zhendong County originated in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and was very prosperous for a time. However, it began to decline in the mid-to-late 1980s, and by the 1990s, it basically stopped making much money. One reason is that the production technology is relatively backward and the quality of the products
The quality and taste cannot improve and cannot meet the increasing market demand; and another important reason is that they do not understand the market and cannot do marketing.
All in all, canneries of all sizes in Zhendong County began to close down in the early 1990s. By the end of 1997, only a few large state-owned factories were left that could barely survive, but their production capacity was also continuously reduced.
With the contact of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission and the Provincial Department of Agriculture, the Huayin City Economic and Trade Commission began to attract foreign investment, trying to revitalize several canneries that were on the verge of bankruptcy by attracting foreign capital. Because this is not just a few factories with hundreds of workers.
Behind the problem of survival, there is also the problem of food for the large number of fruit farmers in the county.
Zhendong County is recruiting investment across the province. This news informed Feiteng Group. Lan Ruo's foreign investment experts thought the project could be done after analysis and reported it to Lan Ruo.
Lan Ruo has long been ambitious and wants to gradually expand Feiteng Group's business areas. The recent acquisition of Island Fame Co., Ltd. was a successful start. After receiving the investment letter of intent, Lan Ruo communicated with Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan basically agreed.
It was suggested that simply acquiring a cannery would not be of much value. It would be better to acquire it and utilize the local fruit resources to produce juice.
With an idea in mind, Lan Ruo sent a few of his men to Huayin and Zhendong counties. After careful market research, he felt that the market had considerable potential, so he took the initiative to contact the Zhendong county government.
There is no denying the strength of Feiteng Group. When they heard that Feiteng Group was interested in investing in Zhendong County, the county leaders were overjoyed. They immediately sent a deputy county magistrate to lead a team to Haidu to meet with Lan Ruo.
Lanruo finally decided to invest in this project, thus officially announcing his involvement in the juice production industry.
To come to Zhendong County to discuss this project and sign the framework agreement for the acquisition, in fact, there is no need for Lan Ruo, the chairman and boss, to come in person. A vice president or department manager would be fine. But Lan Ruo remembered that Zhendong County is far away from Ningxia, where Zhou Nan is located.
Nan County was not far away, so I had the idea of stopping by to see Zhou Nan after discussing cooperation, so I personally led the team there.
Lan Ruo's identity is no small matter. She is not only the boss of Feiteng Group, but also the direct granddaughter of Lan Tiancheng, a Hong Kong Lan enterprise. Her coming to Zhendong County alarmed the entire county and city leaders.
Sun Chunling, deputy secretary of the Huayin Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, rushed to Zhendong County in person with leaders of relevant city departments to greet Lan Ruo, while in Zhendong County, all members of the county committee and county government team were dispatched.
When Lan Ruo led people to Zhendong County, it was exactly 11 o'clock in the morning. A group of five people took two cars and drove into the Zhendong County government agency compound. Before the car stopped, a dark group of officials appeared in front of a middle-aged charming woman.
Under the leadership of the people, Lan Ruo secretly shook his head and wondered why the formation was so huge.
Lan Ruo got out of the car surrounded by her subordinates. Her beautiful face and elegant temperament were the focus of everyone's admiration wherever she was. Sun Chunling, the mayor of Huayin City, smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Lan Ruo and said, "
Welcome Director Lan, welcome Feiteng Group to Huayin to invest in Zhendong County and support the construction and economic development of the old area!"
"This is Mayor Sun." Yang Kai, the deputy county magistrate of Zhendong County who had dealt with Lan Ruo once before, quickly stepped forward to introduce him.
Lan Ruo looked at Sun Chunling and smiled slightly, "Hello, Mayor Sun."
At noon, Sun Chunling held a luncheon on behalf of Huayin Municipal Government and Zhendong County Government to entertain Lan Ruo and his party. During the luncheon, Lan Ruo also verbally agreed to Sun Chunling's invitation on behalf of Feiteng Group, and would send several working groups to the next step.
Huayin inspected and expanded cooperation.
This time, the cooperation with the Zhendong County Government has basically been confirmed. Feiteng Group invested 11 million yuan, and the assets of the three state-owned canning factories in Zhendong County were merged and packaged. The State-owned Assets Office of the Zhendong County Finance Bureau acted as the representative of the state-owned asset investor and established a joint venture with Feiteng Group
Feiteng Juice Co., Ltd. is also building a 10,000-acre ecological orchard demonstration project.
An investment of 11 million yuan is a huge investment for Zhendong County, a poor county, and this project was also included in Huayin City's top ten key projects in 1998, providing comprehensive policy support.
In fact, even Lan Ruo did not expect that the investment decision she made would actually make Feiteng Juice become the largest juice manufacturer in the country in just two years, and the Feiteng Juice brand also became the most well-known high-quality product in the domestic market.
brand, accounting for more than half of the juice market.
Juice production, flavor manufacturing, clothing foreign trade, ocean shipping, and real estate development will become the five pillar industries of Feiteng Group in the future.
