The provincial leaders brought foreign guests to An County to inspect this matter, and both the Nancheng Municipal Government and the local government of An County attached great importance to it.
In the Nancheng Municipal Government, Executive Vice Mayor Luo Yaohui had just received a call from the provincial government.
When Luo Yaohui heard that this inspection activity was arranged by Comrade Xie Wan, the new executive deputy county magistrate of An County, he frowned.
He felt that the name Xie Wan sounded familiar, and then he remembered that this was the newly retired soldier from An County.
Nancheng City has eight counties and two districts under its jurisdiction, and Luo Yaohui knows every county magistrate and deputy county magistrate.
Xie Wan has been assigned to Nancheng for almost a month, but has never taken the initiative to come to him to report on his work.
"Young people are just crazy! Such an important matter, instead of reporting it to the city first, you actually went to the provincial government and pressed it down from the top?
Humph, there are so many good counties in Nancheng, why should we take them to An County?"
Luo Yaohui felt that Xie Wan had bypassed him and made the decision on his own, and he felt a little unhappy.
He made several phone calls but still couldn't figure out why the foreign business delegation chose to go to An County.
But I heard that this foreign business delegation has a pretty strong background.
Not only patriotic businessmen, but also people from Beijing to other provinces and the military have cooperated with us.
This time we came to Sichuan Province specifically to invest. The provincial leaders attach great importance to it, and we have already signed a home appliance investment project contract with the province, with a total investment of more than 1 billion yuan.
What shocked him the most was that the foreign investor wanted to invest in another project and had already reached the stage of signing a draft contract.
That project is related to South City.
As the executive vice mayor, he didn't know anything about it?
Chunfu Hall?
Of course he had heard of Chunfu Hall.
But isn’t Chunfutang in Nancheng a small pharmacy?
With hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign investment, why would they want to cooperate with a small pharmacy in South City?
Could it be a liar? No, no, Luo Yaohui still believed in the vision of the provincial leaders. So, Chunfutang bypassed the city and contacted foreign businessmen through the province?
Maybe, it was the Provincial Department of Foreign Trade who made the connection?
He rubbed his brows, becoming more and more confused the more he thought about it.
I made a few more phone calls and asked the relevant departments at the municipal level. The people at the Municipal Health Bureau knew a little about the situation, but they had previously thought it was a fantasy. Now that they heard that there really were foreign investors who wanted to cooperate with Chunfutang to build a factory, they felt like pie in the sky.
"You should go to the Xu family of Chunfu Hall right now and find out what's going on!
This project must stay in South City.”
Luo Yaohui gave instructions to the leaders of the Health Bureau.
He was very angry. Such a big thing happened and the Xu family lived in South City, so why was it kept secret from the city?
He felt that someone was behind this.
But in fact, Luo Yaohui was overthinking.
The cooperation between Chunfutang and Zhenhua is just a draft contract. It has not yet been formally approved and has not gone through the administrative process.
Compared with the home appliance project, this project was not originally given much attention. From the beginning, Xu Huairen followed Xie Wan's instructions, took the provincial route, and reported to the Provincial Department of Health and the Department of Foreign Trade.
Although Chunfutang was later opened in South City and the Xu family's old house was also in South City, Chunfutang's original registered place was actually in the provincial capital.
It was only because of an evil wind in the 1950s that the shops in the provincial capital were closed and the focus of business was moved back to the ancestral home in the south city.
But in the past few years, Chunfutang, at the suggestion of Xie Wan, reopened a store in the provincial capital.
Because of its public-private partnership status, it has rented shops and opened branches in several other cities.
Provincial leaders naturally hope that this project will remain in the provincial capital. The current negotiations have not yet touched upon the specific site selection for the factory, so the province has not notified Nancheng.
This is not because Xie Wan and Xu Huairen have forgotten their roots. They plan to build their factory in South City.
But they themselves haven’t decided where to do it in the south city.
This requires Zhenhua to invite a professional team to come and evaluate according to international standards before it can be decided.
To build a pharmaceutical factory that can pass FDA certification, there are certain requirements for the environment. It's not something they can just decide on based on their own ideas.
Luo Yaohui is 47 years old this year. At their level, he is in his prime and has room for improvement.
He is the executive vice mayor. The mayor of South City is almost reaching the age of retirement, and he is the leading candidate for the next mayor.
It was important for him to take this step forward.
He naturally understood what it would mean to him if Chunfutang's project was located in Nancheng.
This is an opportunity. If this project can be finally settled in South City, then his succession to the mayor will almost be a foregone conclusion. He can even take a step forward with this favorable opportunity.
Luo Yaohui called his secretary Xiao Li in and instructed him on many things.
“Xiao Li, I will personally accompany the foreign business delegation to An County tomorrow.
I will try my best to invite the delegation back to the city for hospitality.
You stay in the city and make arrangements for the reception."
This secretary, Xiao Li, was the one who had given Xie Wan a perfunctory response when she first came to the municipal government to report to the leader.
When he heard Luo Yaohui mention An County, he casually said, "Mayor Luo, the deputy county magistrate of An County came to see you last time, but you were not there. I said I would arrange for her to see you the next day, but she was unwilling and went directly to Deputy Mayor Zhou."
Secretary Li was obviously giving Xie some eye drops for the evening.
After hearing this, Luo Yaohui had an even worse impression of Xie Wan.
There is some estrangement between Luo Yaohui and Zhou Jing.
The two are at the same level, Luo Yaohui has more experience, while Zhou Jing has higher academic qualifications. Luo Yaohui is the executive vice mayor, while Zhou Jing is only the vice mayor in charge of agriculture, so Luo Yaohui has more power.
