Five minutes later, Xiao Yao arrived at Huo Qianli's house.
A pair of former classmates sat on the sofa, pondering the news they had just received.
Xiao Yao lit a cigarette and said, "I have only met him twice at work meetings and had a few drinks together. It's not like we have a deep friendship."
Huo Qianli nodded, "Then they must be here to ask for benefits. The other party gave them certain conditions and wanted to see if we can match them, waiting for the right price."
Xiao Yao nodded and took a puff of cigarette, "Then I'll go talk to him?"
"Well, go ahead. This is probably what he meant when he called you." Huo Qianli looked at him apologetically, "It's not convenient for me to come out, so I'll have to trouble you to have another drink."
Xiao Yao waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore, besides, it's all for work."
He took out his cell phone and called in front of Huo Qianli.
Sure enough, the person on the other side pretended to be embarrassed, but still agreed to meet, and the location was chosen to be a house on the edge of the town.
Xiao Yao hung up the phone and said with a smile: "It's like a spy meeting. You don't think they will kill for money, do you?"
"In this bright and clear world, how could they have the guts to do that?" Huo Qianli thought for a moment, "It's not easy to call a driver for this kind of thing, so I'll drive you!"
Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Huo Qianli got up, changed his clothes, and got into the car with Xiao Yao. The lights were turned on, the engine roared, the accelerator was lightly stepped on, and they rushed into the night.
When we arrived at the place, we saw a narrow strip of light coming through the crack in the door at the entrance of a building. Someone was already standing there waiting.
Huo Qianli did not get out of the car. Xiao Yao got out alone and was welcomed into the house.
On the table, there were a few small cold dishes and a pot of fragrant hot pot rabbit.
A middle-aged man led Xiao Yao to the table and sat down. He smiled and said, "This room belongs to a distant relative of mine. He used to be a chef in Jincheng. He is very good at making hot pot rabbit. I just cut the rabbit. Mayor Xiao, have a taste!"
Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, ate two pieces of rice, drank two sips of wine, and did not speak.
The town was already in a weak position, so he had to find a way to regain the initiative in the negotiations.
His strategy seemed to work. After two sips of wine and three or five minutes later, the other party took the initiative to talk about the main topic, "Mayor Xiao, we are really sorry this time."
Xiao Yao's heart trembled, but he cheered up and said with a smile: "Boss He, is there something wrong with our work?"
The middle-aged man called Mr. He looked at Xiao Yao and sighed, "Mayor Xiao, there are only two of us here. I'll be frank. This has nothing to do with you."
Mr. He's next few words explained to Xiao Yao the origin of this unexpected change.
Among the four companies this time, the other three except Kaixing Chinese Medicine were purely persuaded.
Industrial parks are springing up all over the country today, and the Chinese medicinal materials industrial park also has similar "competitors" in Shuzhou Province.
There is also a county in the neighboring city that is developing a pharmaceutical-related industrial park. It took the opportunity to contact the companies in the Hushan Village Industrial Park, hoping to poach employees.
This, in itself, is not a big problem.
When it comes to attracting investment, it is not uncommon for several local governments to compete for a certain company or compete for personnel in a certain industry at the same time. However, Mr. He told Xiao Yao that the leaders there were introduced to them by Tan Baoming.
Fortunately, most companies were reassured by Huo Qianli's visits and politely declined the other party's proposal, but these three were interested.
In this way, the targeting becomes very obvious.
Xiao Yao looked at Mr. He, "What are your demands?"
You guys, not you.
Obviously, Xiao Yao also realized that Mr. He was the representative put forward by these three companies.
Mr. He raised his glass and clinked glasses with Xiao Yao first, then poured wine for him while smiling and said, "In fact, we are very optimistic about the future development of Qianfu Town. With the previous strong anti-corruption efforts and the transfer of elite troops such as Secretary Huo, Mayor Cao, and Mayor Xiao, the industrial park of Hushan Village is likely to reach a higher level."
Xiao Yao listened silently. Several years of experience in officialdom had taught him how to wait for that but.
"But." Mr. He handed over another cigarette and said with a smile, "We are in business, who would be reluctant to give in to money? Even if this side may be possible, the other side is giving real money, 100% real money!"
Xiao Yao understood what Mr. He meant, but did not respond.
Mr. He had no choice but to say, "If Qianfu Town can give us corresponding preferential treatment, we are willing to stay. As I said before, who would be reluctant to give up money? Besides, our factory has already been built. It will be a lot of work to start from scratch. Of course we are willing to save trouble. Right?"
Xiao Yao nodded, "So what is the specific policy over there?"
Mr. He explained that because Hushan Village started early and the model was relatively backward, the land was allocated and the enterprises built on their own. Now, because it started later, it is adopting the developer model, the factories are ready-made, and the companies that move in only need to move in the equipment and personnel, and do some decoration.
Moreover, the other government promised them a 50% discount on the purchase price and provided interest-free loans, as well as many tax incentives, such as three to five years of income tax exemption.
Not only that, every company that settles in the park will receive an additional reward of 500 yuan for each person it recruits locally.
After hearing half of it, Xiao Yao's heart sank. This was simply not something Qianfu Town could match.
The other party is a county-level city, while they are just a town, and their financial resources and policy freedom are not on the same level.
