However, thinking of the purpose of his two people, Huang Hao still explained to Lu Rui patiently: "That's right, our company values a piece of land on your side and wants to build a raw material processing factory there. Of course, we will not use it for nothing, and we will pay a certain fee."
Lu Rui was stunned. He didn't think it was a funny joke. Shun'an County is located at the northernmost end of G Province. It is a small border town with a small area on the map. It is so remote that it is beyond words. What raw materials can be provided to foreign companies in such a small place? Although he was a little confused, Lu Rui was still not sure if he was too concerned. After all, China is vast and many things are not available abroad. It is possible that he treats it as a waste, and it is a treasure outside.
Nodding with a smile, Lu Rui said, "Since that's the case, on behalf of the Hejia Town Government, I welcome Mr. Dennis to invest here."
Huang Hao smiled, stood up and held Lu Rui's hand and said, "I dare not, I dare not, we will trouble you leaders in the future."
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Rui say, "Sorry, Mr. Huang, can you wait a moment? We need to ask the superior department for instructions. Don't worry, it's just a formality and it will definitely not delay you for too long."
Huang Hao was stunned, then secretly despised these domestic bureaucrats in his heart, but said calmly: "Then let's go outside and take a walk."
Lu Rui nodded and greeted: "Xiaozhi, take the two guests out for a walk."
After seeing off two foreigners of unknown origin, Lu Rui's expression was full of doubt. He Jubao looked at Lu Rui's expression and smiled and said, "Secretary Xiao Lu, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
He is in a very good mood now. If these two people really want to invest here, Hejia Town will have a chance to get rid of poverty. It should be good to see Lu Rui chatting with the man named Huang just now.
Lu Rui was not so optimistic, but said to He Jubao a little strangely: "Secretary, I always feel a little strange to tell you the truth."
He Jubao was stunned and asked, "What's weird? They are liars? How poor are we? Why are they lying to us?"
Lu Rui slapped his head and laughed, "Yes, maybe I'm too careful. I always feel that these two people are not simple, just like, as if they have some plans."
After he said this, He Jubao was a little hesitant. After all, he had been a secretary for many years and had a very bright head. After thinking about it, he said, "How many days should we delay him?"
Before Lu Rui could answer, he waved his hand and said, "No, no, what if they really come to invest, wouldn't we push the money delivered to the door?"
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Rui said decisively: "Old Secretary, you said that the county party committee needs to study it and give them a reply tomorrow. I will call my classmates and ask them to help check if there is such a company in the United States, what do you think?"
He Jubao laughed and patted Lu Rui on the shoulder, "It's still a scholar who has a good brain, and you can think of such a terrible idea. You're right, you have to touch the bottom of these two foreign devils. If they are liars, we'll be embarrassed to throw them to grandma's house."
Lu Rui rolled his eyes and touched his shoulders that were a little painful, thinking that the old secretary's hand was really strong. But he saw several other deputy mayors bowing their heads and laughing, and obviously enjoying the same treatment as him.
The fiery red sun hangs high in the sky, and the noon sun adds a little warmth to this cold winter. In a snack department at the entrance of the town government, Lu Rui and several deputy mayors sat around He Jubao in the only private room of the hotel. They ordered a few cooking dishes and had lunch with rice. Although it was the mouth of the rice, except for them, there were only three or two people working to eat in the restaurant, and the business was really bleak.
He Jubao had just exchanged opinions with Lu Rui and decided to drag the two foreigners away. If the other party was a liar and he was punished, it would be something that Mr. He Jubao could not agree to. He had no pursuit in his life, and he was far from him when he was promoted and made a fortune. As long as he could let the people of Hejia Town live a good life, he would be content.
"Xiao Lu, what you just said is really useful?"
Deputy Mayor He Guoli asked. She and He Guocheng were both juniors of He Jubao's family. After graduating from high school, they entered the town primary school. Later, the town was short of cadres, so they were transferred to the town government to be the deputy mayor. She had been a teacher and naturally understood that Lu Rui had a great risk to do so, so she asked.
Not only her, but the remaining deputy mayors were a little confused. No one who was an official did not want to achieve political achievements. If he could really attract a foreign-invested enterprise to invest in Hejia Town, at least a few people present would have the opportunity to be transferred to the county, right?
Lu Rui sighed, took a sip of soju, and then said in a deep voice: "Sister He, I'll tell you the truth. I wish they were real about this matter. At least we have hope, right? But what if it's fake?"
Looking at the mountain far outside the window, Lu Rui suddenly said sadly: "If there is really something good in this mountain and it is taken away by foreigners, we may be happy for a while, but it will be stumbled on the back!"
Everyone fell into silence all of a sudden. Although they felt that Lu Rui's words were a bit alarmist, what he said did make sense.
I don’t know how long it took, He Jubao, who had not spoken, looked around and coughed, "That’s right! Secretary Xiao Lu is right. We can’t ruin the life of future generations for our own promotion and wealth. Just as he said, if these two foreign devils really have some bad intentions, we will be criticized! Could it be that you think your baby will be pointed at the nose and scolded by someone in a few decades?”
After a pause, he continued, "I haven't read for a few years. I learned to read literacy in the literacy class, but I know that rich people in our remote areas will not be attentive. If nothing can hook them up, do you think these two foreign devils can come here? Why do you have to run a factory here in your place without a TV? That's not a cost?"
After looking at several deputy mayors deeply, He Jubao snorted, "I put my words here. I must listen to Secretary Xiao Lu. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will promise those two people privately what they do. Be careful that I will peel off his skin! Also, Xiangdong, go back and ask your wife to inquire where these two foreigners have been going in the past few days? I heard that they seem to have been there for several days and have already inspected the terrain. Grandma's, and they keep it secret from me, and don't look at whose territory this is on!"
Lu Rui was speechless. This old secretary He didn't look like an official, he was a completely bandit parent. But it would be good. Look at where the two people went, and maybe you can find some clues.
After hesitating for a while, Lu Rui said: "Secretary, do you want to ask the county party committee and county government for instructions?"
He Jubao smiled and waved his hand and said, "What are you saying to them? Cheng Zhihua is not afraid, are you afraid that they will command blindly?"
Lu Rui was speechless now. Even the name of the municipal party secretary dared to call him out, which shows the arrogance of this old secretary He.
Seeing Lu Rui's frowning brows, Cai Xiaoxia knew that he might have thought wrongly and giggled: "Secretary Xiao Lu doesn't know yet. Secretary Cheng of the Municipal Party Committee lived at our old secretary's house when he went to the countryside. If it weren't for the old secretary, he would have starved to death during natural disasters. Now Secretary Cheng still has to go to the old secretary's house to pay New Year's greetings every year."
Only then did Lu Rui realize that he had a big backstage! The life-savior of the municipal party secretary, I guess the people of the county party committee would want to worship this old man as their ancestor.
He Jubao may also be very satisfied with the expression Lu Rui showed. He took a sip of wine with smugness. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Feng Zhi running in panting.
Frowning, He Jubao said in a deep voice: "Baby, what have you run away? What happened to you?"
Feng Zhi smiled, wiped the sweat beads from his face, and whispered: "Old Secretary, those two people have returned to the county town and said they are coming here tomorrow. Don't I tell you this?"
Lu Rui and He Jubao looked at each other and saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Rui asked, "What did they say? Do you remember?"
Feng Zhi shook his head and replied embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Secretary Lu, I don't understand what they said."
Lu Rui nodded, knowing that Huang Hao and Dennis must have communicated in English. It is indeed difficult for Feng Zhi, a junior high school graduate, to understand their business English. It seems that he can only find a way to let Qiangzi and the others check in Jiangkou, and then wait until the contract is signed to see what the other party is going to make.
No one spoke, and his emotions were slightly depressed, but he saw that Feng Zhi did not leave, but instead showed a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was recalling something.
After sighing, Lu Rui knew that he was recalling the words of those two people, but after all, he was just a junior high school graduate. It was too difficult for him to remember those complicated English words. Not to mention him, even if Lu Rui was present, he could only understand a rough idea.
Standing up, Lu Rui was about to go out to go to the bathroom when he heard Feng Zhi suddenly shouting: "Damn!"
Lu Rui was stunned and looked at Feng Zhi with some clues, thinking that this kid is very brave and dares to curse people in front of the secretary, and doesn't want to live anymore. Sure enough, Ma Xiangdong kicked him over and cursed: "Baby, do you want to die, do you dare to curse people in front of the secretary!"
But Feng Zhi seemed to have no sense of it. When he was kicked to the ground, he still looked straight at Lu Rui and repeated: "Damn, it must be true! These two people are talking about findthecoal!"
Lu Rui was shocked suddenly, and his feet were slightly staggering. He didn't care about the falling dishes on the ground. He half-kneeled on the ground, grabbed Feng Zhi's hand and asked, "Are you sure, is it?"
