Chapter 190 Investment Executive Deputy County Mayor (4)
At the third stop, everyone came to Jiang Ningyue’s hometown, Taozhou, at Jiang Ningyue’s recommendation.
Taozhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Gao Yi received everyone very warmly.
Compared with Chuanquan City and Minzhou, Taozhou's city center is very small and its industrial area is not large either.
Similarly, Gao Yi also has a headache facing this year's investment promotion task.
Last year, we attracted 5.86 billion yuan in investment, but now it’s almost the end of this year, and we’ve only completed less than 4 billion yuan in investment, and many projects have not yet received actual funds.
If nothing unexpected happens, Taozhou will be at the bottom of the province again this year.
Against this backdrop, Jiang Ningyue arrived with directors and executives from three Fortune 500 companies. How could Gao Yi not be excited?
Therefore, Gao Yi turned down many meetings and took everyone on the tour.
"Ms. Ailin, Taozhou is rich in medicinal herb resources. Last year, under the promotion of our municipal party committee and government, we built a 20,000-acre standardized medicinal herb production demonstration base. If your company settles here, you won't have to worry about raw materials. We also have a medical university in the city center, and we've invited many experts and scholars to teach there."
Gao Yi knew that it was impossible for all three companies to be established in Taozhou, so he focused on Gale Medical Group.
Irene smiled and nodded without commenting.
Lin Chenxi smiled and said, "Secretary Gao, Secretary Jin of the Minzhou Municipal Party Committee has invited Xiaoyue to serve as deputy director of the Minzhou Economic Development Zone Management Committee. As Xiaoyue's 'in-laws,' you, Taozhou City, wouldn't be more stingy than Secretary Jin, right?"
Gao Yi laughed immediately after hearing this. "Dongze County just happened to have a vacancy for a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee and a deputy secretary. I think Xiaoyue is perfect for this position! Besides, there's no need for a temporary position. A part-time position will be enough."
"ah?"
When Jiang Ningyue heard Gao Yi's proposal, she immediately felt it was a bit outrageous. "Secretary Gao, I'm the deputy director of the news center at the TV station. Can I also hold a part-time position in the county?"
"sure."
Gao Yi nodded and said, "There was a reporter from CCTV who went to a certain southwestern province. He was the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city, deputy director of the provincial government's press office, and director of the provincial party committee's propaganda department. It could be said that he held three positions at the same time."
Jiang Ningyue had heard of this senior journalist.
Jiang Ningyue laughed again after hearing this and said, "Secretary, I am only a probationary member of the party and cannot hold any position within the party."
"Probationary Party member?"
Gao Yi blinked, somewhat incredulous. "You're already a deputy division-level official, and you're only a candidate for Party membership?"
"It was Secretary Zhang Yan who recommended me for the deputy division level position."
Jiang Ningyue explained, "I was actually only a deputy section chief in Haizhou Province, and I only became a probationary Party member in May of this year."
"All right."
Gao Yi was somewhat at a loss for words, and continued, "Zhaoyang County is still short of a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee and an Executive Deputy County Mayor. This position should be filled, right?"
Jiang Ningyue blinked: "But Secretary Gao, a member of the county committee, isn't that also a party position?"
Gao Yi smiled and said, "The Standing Committee is simple, but there are exceptions. Many regions now let outstanding cadres from other parties or non-party members serve as top leaders. Whether or not they are members of the Standing Committee is very important for the top leaders to carry out their work, so many regions allow those without party affiliation to serve as members of the Standing Committee and participate in the Standing Committee. As a probationary member, you are much more reasonable than them."
Hearing Gao Yi's words, Jiang Ningyue immediately shut up. The other party had said so, what else could she say?
Lin Chenxi nodded in satisfaction after hearing Gao Yi's words. Gao Yi's attitude was obviously much more sincere than those in Chuanquan City and Minzhou City.
Irene also said: "Our group is very willing to cooperate with Taozhou."
Lin Chenxi smiled and nodded. "Although Taozhou's tourist numbers are not as high as Sichuan and Quanzhou's, I think Taozhou's cultural and tourism resources also have great potential. I think we can also develop some scenic spots in Taozhou."
Gao Yi was overjoyed. He didn't expect that just by giving Jiang Ningyue the position of executive deputy county magistrate, two companies would agree to invest.
Thinking of this, Gao Yi even wanted to give Jiang Ningyue a temporary position as deputy mayor.
However, Gao Yi finally calmed down because Taozhou could not absorb so much investment at once.
Although Lin Chenxi and Ailin both intend to invest in Taozhou, the specific details still need to be finalized and negotiated by professional personnel.
For example, Gale Medical is planning to invest 10 billion yuan, but this 10 billion yuan may arrive in several tranches. The Taozhou government also hopes that Gale Medical can sign an investment agreement over two years, so that they can complete the two-year investment attraction task in one go.
After spending three days in Taozhou and initially confirming the investment intention, Taozhou even held a signing ceremony. Jiang Ningyue also called in reporters from Shannan Provincial Television to cover the event.
Gale Medical Group and Kuangshi Group, both Fortune 500 companies, recently signed agreements to invest in seven projects totaling over 10 billion yuan. Over the next five years, the two companies will develop and invest in various sectors in Taozhou, including pharmaceuticals, infant care products, and cultural tourism.
After this short news was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation in the province.
Many prefecture-level cities knew that three Fortune 500 companies had arrived, but they did not expect that Taozhou, the least well-known and most economically backward city, would take the lead.
Everyone initially assumed Taozhou had signed countless "unequal treaties." However, upon seeing the contents of the contracts, they were incredibly unusual. How did two Fortune 500 companies manage to sign these terms, which wouldn't even be considered preferential treatment for an eastern coastal city?
At this time, a rumor spread throughout the province. Secretary Gao Yi of Taozhou did not focus on the senior executives and directors of the three companies, but instead turned his attention to Jiang Ningyue, who was accompanying him.
He used the position of member of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate in exchange for Jiang Ningyue speaking well of Taozhou.
In this way, two of the companies decided to invest in Taozhou.
After receiving this news, Jin Kai was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. He quickly called Jiang Ningyue and said, "Director Jiang, our Minzhou Municipal Party Committee can also give you the position of Executive Deputy County Mayor!"
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "How about this, Secretary Jin? I'll have someone from Mithril International go to Minzhou City again in a while, and you two can discuss it in detail."
Jin Kai was delighted to hear this and wanted to invite Jiang Ningyue to come along, but was rejected by Jiang Ningyue.
During the first half of October, Jiang Ningyue had been busy with Lin Chenxi and the others, busy with investment promotion. Of course, there were dedicated people to take care of the details, and the four of them mostly just experienced the local customs and practices.
Commonly known as tourism.
Ultimately, Kuangshi Group, represented by Lin Chenxi, invested in cultural tourism and real estate in Chuanquan City and Taozhou City. Mithril International, represented by Nina, established a factory in the Minzhou Economic Development Zone, and Irene's Gale Medical Group also built a factory in Taozhou City.
Although Chuanquan City was only slightly involved, the secretary of the Chuanquan Municipal Party Committee was furious when he heard about it and called the leaders of the Investment Promotion Bureau to scold them severely.
On October 18, Secretary Zhang Yan hosted another banquet to entertain everyone. During the banquet, Secretary Zhang Yan said with a smile:
"I also hope that the three companies can make a lot of money in Shannan Province. This will also lead more companies to invest in Shannan and boost the economy of our province."
On October 19, Lin Chenxi and the other two said goodbye to Jiang Ningyue. Jiang Ningyue was about to resume her normal life. Her first stop was to go to the Taozhou Municipal Party Committee compound and find Gao Yi.
There were many people queuing up at the door of Gao Yi's office waiting to report on their work. Jiang Ningyue was considered a great contributor to Taozhou, so she didn't need to queue up and went straight into the office.
"Secretary Gao."
"Hey, Xiaoyue, sit down."
When good things happen, people are in high spirits. Gao Yi was praised by the governor when he went to a provincial meeting some time ago. He felt much better and his face was rosy. "Have you been to Zhaoyang County?"
"No." Jiang Ningyue shook her head. "But I remember it was above our county?"
"right."
Gao Yi nodded and said, "Zhaoyang County's transportation conditions are better than yours, so the economy is naturally better as well. Also, Zhaoyang County's magistrate, Lin Nan, is a selected student from our province and a young talent. He previously discussed with me the need to vigorously develop the cultural tourism industry. And you, as an expert in this field, I believe you'll have a lot in common."
