"You two plans each have their own strengths. It would be better if you two cooperate and combine your plans." Secretary Chen said after thinking for a moment.
Secretary Chen will retire in three years. The contract fee offered by Hao Ying is to pay 200,000 yuan to the state every year, which is much higher than the 60,000 yuan offered by Ye Li at the beginning. If he can still pay a considerable amount of money to the state before his retirement, it will definitely bring a perfect end to his career.
However, Ye Li's plan takes long-term development into consideration. Although the current contract can only pay 60,000 yuan, Ye Li insists on putting people first, providing food and accommodation for local employees and also plans to expand the factory to share the pressure of local employment. Once the factory grows and develops, the funds paid to the state will definitely be more than Hao Ying's.
This is a contest between short-term benefits and long-term development. It depends on how Secretary Chen weighs the two. So in the end, Secretary Chen gave the two a solution of letting them work together to contract the factory.
After hearing what Secretary Chen said, Hao Ying and Ye Li were both stunned. Neither of them expected Secretary Chen to make such a suggestion. The two of them were sworn enemies, so how could they join forces to move the factory together?
"I'm sorry, Secretary Chen, I don't think we can contract the weaving factory together." Ye Li was the first to reject Secretary Chen's suggestion.
Hao Ying glanced at Ye Li, snorted coldly and said, "Secretary Chen, as the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. We are enemies to begin with, so how can we join forces to contract the project?"
Secretary Chen saw that neither of the two was willing to cooperate with the other, so he finally decided to hold a voting meeting to decide whose proposal would be chosen based on the results of the vote.
The vote is scheduled for the morning of the next day, and the leaders in charge of the contracting project will participate.
...
...
After hearing Secretary Chen's arrangement, neither of them had any objection.
"Okay, since both of you have no objection, let's meet in the conference room on the third floor tomorrow morning. By then, there will be a total of seven people, including me, who will initiate the vote. The winner will be the contractor of the weaving factory."
"good."
"no problem."
The two of them left Secretary Chen's office and went their separate ways. Ye Li immediately went to find Liu Hua and told her what happened today.
"Ye Li, I suggest that we quickly use our connections. I guess the other party has already started taking action." Some of Liu Hua's relatives work in business offices.
When he heard that the election plan would be voted on tomorrow, he urged Ye Li to take advantage of the half day today to bring in the people who would vote tomorrow to ensure that everything would go smoothly tomorrow.
"Okay. Sister Liu, please take me for a walk."
So Liu Hua took Ye Li to his relative's house. When the other party saw that it was Ye Li, they knew what was going on.
"Liu Hua, it's not right for you to do this. Voting is tomorrow. Are you coming to me to canvass for votes?" Zhang Zhong said straight to the point.
"Brother Zhang, I came here purely to see you today. I know you like to drink tea. My sister's hometown is a tea-producing area, so I brought you two cans of this year's new tea for you to try." After Liu Hua finished speaking, Ye Li immediately handed over the tea in his hand.
"You are really a worm in my stomach. Nothing I like escapes your eyes. Since it is a local specialty, I won't refuse it." After Zhang Zhong took the tea from Ye Li's hand, he invited the two to the living room to talk.
Because of his relationship with Liu Hua, Zhang Zhong made it clear that he would vote for Ye Li tomorrow.
"That's great, Brother Zhang. If we can get the weaving factory, I'll definitely treat you to a meal!"
Liu Hua immediately smiled when he heard the assurance from his relative.
"But Brother Zhang, you can't vote alone. I heard there will be seven people tomorrow, including Secretary Chen and you, and five more people. Can you take us to meet the others?" Liu Hua suggested.
"You are really greedy. You plan to visit everyone, but it's too late today. Everyone has seen Ye Li's plan before, and three people quite agree with it. I just need to say hello to them again. This way it doesn't count as canvassing for votes, and it saves you from running around." Zhang Zhong gave a solution.
"That's great, it saves us a lot of work."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang!"
After Liu Hua and Zhang Zhong exchanged greetings for a while, they took Ye Li away.
The next morning, Ye Li and Liu Hua went to the municipal government. They brought all the contract fees that were to be handed over to the state today, and they were determined to win this trip.
As soon as he entered the meeting room, Liu Hua looked at Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Zhong avoided his gaze.
Although Liu Hua felt a little strange, he didn't have time to think about it.
"Sister Liu, let's sit over there." Ye Li reminded Liu Hua when she saw her standing at the door and not going in.
"good."
Ye Li and Liu Hua found a good seat and sat down. The meeting was scheduled for 8:30, but it was only 8:10 and almost everyone had arrived.
The only one missing was Hao Ying.
"There are still twenty minutes left. Let's wait for Comrade Hao Ying." Secretary Chen glanced at the time and saw that it was not yet the scheduled time.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Let's get started now." Hao Ying pushed open the door of the conference room, exhausted, smiled sheepishly at the people waiting for her, and found a seat to sit down.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start today's meeting." Secretary Chen began to tell everyone about Hao Ying's plan. Since everyone already knew Ye Li's plan, he did not repeat it.
"Now we start voting. The voting will be secret ballot. Everyone has a piece of white paper in their hands. After writing, throw it into the cardboard box in front. After you have voted, I will start counting the votes."
Soon, seven people wrote the notes in their hands and stuffed them into the cardboard box.
Ye Li and Hao Ying's eyes were focused on the cardboard box in Secretary Chen's hand, and they both felt equally anxious. Today's success or failure depended on this one move.
"One vote for Ye Li."
"One vote for Hao Ying."
"Ye Li's two votes"
"Ye Li three votes."
Hearing that Ye Li's name appeared more frequently than her own, Hao Ying's heart became restless. She had invested a lot of money yesterday, so why would so many people choose Ye Li!
When Liu Hua and Ye Li heard someone calling Ye Li's name, their uneasy hearts calmed down a little.
"We're sure to win this time!" Liu Hua muttered to himself, reaching out and holding Ye Li's hand.
At this time, Liu Hua discovered that Ye Li, who seemed calm, had sweat oozing out of his palms.
There were three votes left. Secretary Chen took out the three tickets and continued counting the votes.
"Hao Ying, two votes."
"Hao Ying three votes."
Soon Hao Ying's votes caught up, and the two of them had a tie.
The last vote was in the hands of Secretary Chen, who had not announced it yet. He glanced at the name on the slip and finally announced slowly, "Hao Ying, four votes!"
Upon hearing the result, Liu Hua was stunned. How could this be possible? According to what Zhang Zhong said yesterday, they had at least four votes!
No wonder she saw Zhang Zhong refused to look her in the eye when she came in just now. It turned out that something went wrong!
