Chapter 321: New Governor's Research (Part 1)
After leaving Li Chunyan's house, Jiang Ningyue called Qingfeng.
"Feng, I have something I need you to investigate."
Qing Feng asked curiously, "Who offended you again?"
"No one has offended me, it's like this..."
Jiang Ningyue explained the whole story, and Qingfeng nodded after listening. "It's not difficult to investigate a boss. What information do you want?"
"I'm not interested in his romantic scandals at all. Just look up his criminal record. If there's too much, pick out the key ones. Oh, and also check to see if their company is currently 2 trillion in debt. That's very important."
"Understood."
Qingfeng nodded.
This was the first time Jiang Ningyue asked her to investigate a private enterprise. This was much simpler than investigating members of the Standing Committee or deputy provincial governors, and she didn't feel any burden.
Jiang Ningyue transferred 200,000 yuan to Qingfeng as preliminary investigation funds and urged her to conduct the investigation as soon as possible. Then she heard Qingfeng mutter, "Give someone 200,000 yuan and ask them to do 2 trillion yuan worth of work."
"If I had two trillion, I would resign on the spot."
On February 16, Irene, director of Gale Medical Group, and Lax, president of Greater China, led a team to Haizhou for a field investigation. Irene's first target was Lijin City in Haizhou.
Lijin City is a sub-provincial city in Haizhou Province. Its GDP is undoubtedly the highest, far exceeding that of its peers in the province, and even surpassing the provincial capital, Haining. It is also a famous port city.
There was no problem with Gale Medical choosing to build a factory here.
Although Gulin City also had an industrial zone and its GDP ranking within the province wasn't at the bottom, it couldn't compare to Lijin City. Li Chunyan had never mentioned the request to locate the factory in Gulin City, so Jiang Ningyue just went along with it.
Now that Irene is here, Jiang Ningyue is willing to follow.
Jiang Ningyue originally thought that Wu Rui would lead the team again this time, but she didn't expect that the new governor Xu Zhaolin would lead the team himself.
But come to think of it, Gale Medical Group is, after all, one of the top 100 Fortune 500 companies. This time, a board member is here, and their investment intentions are clear. The new governor hasn't even established himself yet, so he's just missing out on achievements.
This was also the first time Jiang Ningyue formally met Xu Zhaolin.
Xu Zhaolin is in his fifties, but he looks very energetic. Although he wears glasses, his eyes are very sharp. As a provincial governor who rose all the way from a township, he can be said to have taken one step at a time and is very solid and steady.
There is no doubt that as long as Xu Zhaolin can gain a foothold in Haizhou Province, he will be the next provincial party secretary.
When Xu Zhaolin and his group walked into the conference room, they saw two young and beautiful women chatting happily.
The older one was a typical Caucasian woman, dressed in a professional suit. Despite her age, this Western woman had delicate features, her pores were not as large as those of Caucasians, and her skin was quite delicate, the result of extensive skincare. Her every move exuded the charm of a mature woman.
However, this beauty, which far surpasses that of a Hollywood star, was completely overshadowed by Jiang Ningyue next to her. It was hard to imagine that their relationship was so close.
Xu Zhaolin walked over with a smile on his face, and everyone in the conference room stood up and greeted Xu Zhaolin.
"Governor Xu." Jiang Ningyue greeted Xu Zhaolin.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Jiang." Xu Zhaolin responded in a friendly manner.
Although he had just been transferred to Haizhou, Xu Zhaolin had heard a lot about Jiang Ningyue. He wouldn't underestimate her. Furthermore, he heard she had good connections with many Fortune 500 companies. Those were all resources!
Jiang Ningyue introduced Xu Zhaolin to Irene, and Irene shook hands with Xu Zhaolin with a smile.
After helping translate a few sentences, Jiang Ningyue quietly shut up. After all, Xu Zhaolin had a real translator by his side, so she didn't want to steal his job. Of course, more importantly, these leaders kept saying "There's an old Chinese saying," and Jiang Ningyue really didn't know how to translate it.
During the meeting, Xu Zhaolin was very happy to learn that Gale Medical Group was planning to increase its investment in China, especially to build the first batch of SR factories in Haizhou.
"We are planning to establish a provincial-level high-tech development zone in Haining City and sincerely invite Gale Group to join us."
Haining's high-tech zone was part of Xu Zhaolin's plan. Haizhou Province's economic performance was already among the best in the country. These were Haizhou's own achievements, not Xu Zhaolin's. Therefore, Xu Zhaolin decided to start a new project and design a new high-tech zone in Haining.
He didn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a pond. He knew that the high-tech zone would not see significant improvement in the next three to five years. However, seven or eight years later, after he became the provincial party secretary, the high-tech zone would surely bloom with his support.
By then, Haining City's GDP will surpass Lijin City's, and Haizhou Province's GDP will also take a big step forward. Then he can also make further progress with this series of political achievements.
This is Xu Zhaolin’s real purpose and pursuit.
Hearing Xu Zhaolin's words, Ailin subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ningyue, which clearly meant "You didn't tell me this."
In fact, Jiang Ningyue didn't know either, but considering Xu Zhaolin's identity, how could he possibly report to Jiang Ningyue?
As if sensing the hesitation and confusion in Irene's eyes, Xu Zhaolin immediately had someone pull out a PowerPoint presentation and began explaining. It turned out that this so-called high-tech zone was originally Haining City's industrial zone. However, due to industrial restructuring, the heavy industry had relocated, leaving only a few food factories and non-polluting state-owned enterprise plants. However, the location and transportation facilities were excellent.
It's a pity that it has been empty there with only two or three cats and kittens left. It would be better to replan it and let it develop again.
Xu Zhaolin smiled and introduced: "To show the sincerity of our Haizhou Provincial Government, your company can use a piece of vacant land in the High-tech Zone free of charge. At the same time, the government will exempt you from taxes for three years..."
After hearing Xu Zhaolin's introduction, Irene's eyes lit up, but she didn't agree in a hurry.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Gale Group is always treated as a guest of honor in every province it goes to. Every province will receive them seriously. The conditions you can offer, other provinces may be able to offer more.
After the meeting, Xu Zhaolin hurriedly invited Irene and others to visit the High-tech Zone. Jiang Ningyue thought about it and realized that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she said to Irene:
"Go ahead. Call me when you're done and I'll come find you."
"OK." Irene nodded with a smile, and Lux waved goodbye to Jiang Ningyue.
Before leaving, Jiang Ningyue passed by Xu Zhaolin and said, "Governor Zhaolin, you are busy. I am going back to the ministry."
Xu Zhaolin, however, didn't want to let Jiang Ningyue leave. Just now, during the meeting, when the Commerce Department staff were introducing the High-Tech Zone, Ai Lin had whispered to Jiang Ningyue about any questions she had. This proved that the two of them had a very good relationship, one that could even play a crucial role.
Although he didn't know why Jiang Ningyue and Ailin had such a good relationship, Xu Zhaolin didn't want her to stay out of it.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, please come with me. I can communicate with the Organization Department if necessary."
