Long Jian had a very pleasant meal, and Liu Yong, Ma Qingyuan, Liu Haidong and others also had a good chat.
Before leaving, Liu Haidong enthusiastically escorted everyone downstairs, shook Liu Yong's hand and said, "Secretary Liu, I'm sorry for not hosting you well today. If you don't go back tonight, let's find another place to have a good drink!"
Liu Haidong's face was filled with a sincere smile and his eyes were full of anticipation.
Liu Yong was very satisfied with Liu Haidong's attitude. He said enthusiastically, "Boss Liu, I will definitely have a drink with you when Longjian Group holds its groundbreaking ceremony in Shannan County."
Liu Yong's words were full of boldness, as if he had already seen a bright prospect for future cooperation.
Liu Haidong laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Okay, okay, let's wait until the day of the opening ceremony, and we'll get drunk together!"
Laughter echoed in the air, making the atmosphere even more lively.
After a few pleasantries, everyone slowly drove away from Longjian headquarters under the gaze of Liu Haidong.
Li Lin was not originally riding in the same car with Liu Yong and Ma Qingyuan, but when they were going back, Liu Yong insisted that he ride with them.
The car was driving steadily on the road. Liu Yong sat in the back seat, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
Liu Yong looked at the scenery receding outside the car window and said to Li Lin and Ma Qingyuan with emotion, "Hey, I never thought that one day I would be able to sign such a big cooperation with Longjian Group. With the joining of Longjian Group, our Shannan County will have a much looser purse and a much better life."
There was a hint of relief and emotion in Liu Yong's voice, as if the burden on his shoulders was slightly lightened at this moment.
Shannan County has a total population of about 600,000, and the small county town alone is crowded with 100,000 to 200,000 people.
The total number of formal employees of the county's administrative and public institutions, employees of state-owned enterprises...these so-called iron rice bowl employees exceeds 15,000.
The county has to pay out more than 60 million yuan in monthly salary plus five insurances and one fund, which is 700 to 800 million yuan a year.
In other words, the county’s revenue of 1 billion has been used up by 80% or 90%... the remaining less than 100 million is not enough to even cover the working expenses of the various units!
When he thought of this, Liu Yong frowned unconsciously, his heart full of anxiety.
There are long queues at the Finance Bureau every day, with financial personnel from various units waiting for the director's signature for reimbursement.
This also resulted in the Finance Director not daring to show up in the unit every day. Once he did, he would be surrounded by a large group of people, with reimbursement documents handed to him like snowflakes, and everyone begging for money.
"Chief, please help me..."
"If the director doesn't allocate money, our unit will be disbanded..."
"If the director doesn't allocate money, we won't even be able to afford A4 paper!"
The Finance Bureau Director was also overwhelmed when he encountered this situation.
They are all comrades from county-level units. There is only so much money, who are you going to allocate it to and who not?
If someone sees you allocating money to this company and not to that one, someone will immediately block your office and won’t let you go until you tell them the whole story!
So, although the Finance Director seems glamorous and in a superior position, he actually has a difficult life too!
All the difficulties in the county are basically on his head! If any county leader asks you for money, you have to find money. If you don’t have money, you will be scolded at best, and the worst case scenario is that you will be reported directly to the county magistrate and secretary, saying that you, the director of the Finance Bureau, are incompetent...
Thinking of this, Liu Yong sighed helplessly, "This financial pressure is like a mountain, which makes people breathless."
There is no other way! Some units are in a hurry to use the money, so just demolish it, tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, and complete one first!
The special funds allocated by the superiors were used up, and even the comrades' professional pensions were misappropriated!
But the problem still cannot be solved! People are still poor, and the problems that cannot be solved are still postponed indefinitely.
As the top two leaders in the county, how could Liu Yong and Ma Qingyuan not know about this situation? They knew better than anyone that among all the units in the county, the Finance Bureau was the most tormented.
Their hearts are often filled with helplessness and anxiety, and they feel extremely heavy every time they face financial difficulties.
Ma Qingyuan nodded solemnly, his eyes revealing deep worry, "Longjian's move in will at least increase the county's fiscal revenue by 10% to 20%. With this money, the county's financial pressure can be effectively alleviated, and the lives of various units will be better."
Ma Qingyuan seemed to see a glimmer of hope and felt a little comforted.
He also sighed and said with emotion, "Not only has the finance been relaxed, but the re-employment problem of migrant workers has also been solved to a certain extent. All economic indicators of our county will also develop upward. By the end of the year, the figures in the summary report will look much better. The morale of county cadres will also be boosted."
Ma Qingyuan's words are full of expectations for the future, but he is also well aware that the responsibility on his shoulders is even greater.
Li Lin listened quietly without interrupting.
He was thinking in his heart that if he were to say, the benefits brought by the entry of Longjian Group would be far more than what was seen on the surface.
The supply of raw materials, logistics and transportation, surrounding supermarkets and restaurants, distribution of finished products... and so on... The economic value brought by these links is no less than that of the Longjian Group itself, and may even be higher.
Back at the hotel, Liu Yong called everyone together and held a short meeting in the temporary conference room.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was relaxed yet full of anticipation.
Liu Yong seemed very happy and said with a smile, "After everyone's unremitting efforts during this period, today we finally signed a cooperation agreement with Longjian Group. Everyone present here has put in hard work and sweat for this investment promotion work. Here, on behalf of the county party committee, I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone!"
