Surprises are like fireworks, brilliant and grand but also short-lived.

Soon, Huo Qianli calmed down, suppressed his complicated emotions, and tried his best to think calmly.

So, he looked at Mr. Liu and said, "Mr. Liu, what are your requests? As long as we in Qianfu Town can satisfy them, we will try our best to meet them."

This is an investment, not a donation. If they throw out 30 million, they will definitely earn back much more than that.

Huo Qianli understood this principle.

Mr. Liu gave a thumbs up and said, "Secretary Huo is straightforward. To be honest, we feel at ease when dealing with such a leader!"

His subordinate beside him also smiled cautiously and interrupted: "You two leaders don't know that a friend of Mr. Liu lost tens of millions in a project in a neighboring province a few days ago. The entire project was dragged down by the local government. Our Mr. Liu is also worried!"

Guo Haoran smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Sitting here today, not only Comrade Qianli is here, but also me. You can rest assured about the administrative matters."

"Of course I trust what the two leaders say, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here tonight."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "In this case, I will report to the two leaders about our company's small needs."

Huo Qianli said straightforwardly: "Mr. Liu, you don't have to be polite. Just speak directly. We can discuss any questions you have."

"Then I am offended!" Mr. Liu nodded humbly. "Tens of millions are indeed not a problem for our company, but we cannot lose money or even waste it. So, there are indeed some small demands that we hope to meet."

"First, I hope to obtain the complete management rights of the entire project. Qianfu Town can supervise, but cannot interfere with production and operation decisions."

As soon as the first point was spoken, Huo Qianli's heart sank.

The problem that Professor He mentioned at the beginning did indeed occur.

If Qianfu Town cannot control, or at least influence the decision-making, the development of this project will be completely out of control, and it will be hard to say what the future will be like.

Moreover, this is a key project to promote industrial integration and coordination among villages in the town. If the other party comes and says that your bamboo art is not good and I will change to another one; or that the quality of vegetables in your village is not good and I will change to another one, then it will become a mere amusement base and will not be of much significance!

He was about to discuss it, but Guo Haoran said, "Mr. Liu, please continue."

After saying that, Guo Haoran winked at Huo Qianli, and Huo Qianli suddenly understood that the best way to fight is of course to wait until the opponent has used up all his moves. If they talk one by one, the opponent can change his moves at any time, and that would put them in a passive position.

So he stopped talking and continued to listen to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu, who thought there would be a debate here, hesitated for a moment and had to continue speaking: "Secondly, I hope the leaders can give us some policy benefits."

Huo Qianli nodded, "That's easy. We will have corresponding preferential policies for companies that come to invest here. Mr. Liu can compare the conditions we offer to companies in the Danshen Industrial Park. I can assure you that they will be better than theirs."

Mr. Liu shook his head and said awkwardly, "I may not have made it clear, leaders. What I meant to say is that this discount is given directly to our company, not just to this project."

Huo Qianli raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Haoran. This was not something he could decide.

Guo Haoran thought for a moment. This company has not invested in Dongjiang County yet. If the county gives his company preferential treatment and he is willing to develop in Dongjiang, it can be regarded as attracting investment. So he said, "Yes, our Dongjiang County can give corresponding preferential treatment. We welcome Mr. Liu's company to do business in Dongjiang County."

Mr. Liu opened his mouth and touched his chin, as if he didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, a subordinate standing by said, "Two leaders, the boss's companies are all in Jingcheng City. Isn't it meaningless for you to give this to Dongjiang County?"

Guo Haoran narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, although I am a member of the Municipal Party Committee, first of all, this project is completely our Dongjiang County project; secondly, I am mainly a senior official of Dongjiang County. There is no such operation in Jingcheng City to approve preferential treatment! Haha."

Mr. Liu nodded and said, "Indeed, our idea has caused trouble for the leadership."

He looked humble and spoke sincerely, "But let me report to the two leaders. Our current business operating costs are indeed high. If we can reduce some of the burden, we will have more spare capacity to support the development of Dongjiang County, right? And now we are advocating innovation, right? Secretary Guo, you are a member of the Standing Committee, so it's just a matter of your words."

Guo Haoran thought about it and said nothing. "Then is there anything else?"

"Otherwise, I have only one small request left, and it will only take a word from you, Secretary Guo."

Mr. Liu leaned forward, his smile full of sincerity and humility, "Our company is currently applying for the city's high-tech enterprise certification. Secretary Guo, if you can find a way to help raise this issue, we would be very grateful."

Guo Haoran smiled when he heard this, his smile was playful, "Boss Liu, there are only a few places in the city for this high-tech enterprise certification. Once confirmed, the subsidies are in the millions, and there are also tax incentives. I am a standing committee member at the bottom of the ranking, how can I have such great power!"

"Secretary Guo's modesty is something I should learn from!" Mr. Liu smiled and handed over a cigarette. "Secretary Guo, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of things. You just need to say a word, and I'll take care of it whether it succeeds or not."

The words were spoken lightly and straightforwardly, but Mr. Liu was holding such a big "hostage" as the Qianfu Town Parent-Child Study Base in his hands. If Guo Haoran agreed, how could he just say hello and not care whether it succeeded or not!
