Chapter 4 Rushing for Projects

  One is the highly sought-after project that everyone is scrambling to grab, what is a good project? The factory enterprise is excellent, with capital, reputation, industry prospects, labor force bearing capacity and so on; the factory enterprise is large in scale, with a large number of employees, large product sales, and large total assets; the benefit mainly refers to tax revenue, if you can't create tax revenue, you'll have to rely on local policy subsidies.

  One is that there is no way out, and information can only be posted on websites or some professional recruitment stickers, waiting for the person in charge of recruitment to come to the door for negotiation.

  Obviously, Benma Company is one of them.

  The person who received Xie Tao Ming was the general manager of their company, Tang Liang. There are currently only five people in the entire company, and it seems like a group of acquaintances got together to pool their money and start something on their own.

  Tang Liang also told the truth, a few people have no way out, mainly to see what conditions the business can offer, compare and choose the best comprehensive location and policy.

  Before the declaration of Taoming, three people from the Investment Promotion Bureau had already come to discuss it. To put it nicely, there are six investment promotion bureaus in Dongshan City, and they work together with the municipal bureau to do a good job in attracting investment. In fact, they just take over the small projects that others don't want, and the municipal bureau is busy with these small projects every day, isn't it exhausting?

  After hearing Xuan Tai's conditions, Tang Liang immediately expressed his stance: "If Yong'an Township is going to be like this, then I really can't go."

  Why? The reason why Yong'an Township has been unable to attract projects is not that Chen Chaonian doesn't want to, but because the land in Yong'an Township is really not suitable for building a factory.

  As mentioned earlier, Yong'an Township is located on the edge of the municipal district. The most important thing is that Yong'an Township is not at the entrance of the main road. If everyone looks at the map of this city, they will find that there are several main roads in and out of the municipal district, which is what people call several rings.

  Yong'an Township is quite far from the main road, separated by several kilometers, which has some impact on transportation.

  Xuan Taoming lit a cigarette and took two puffs: "Tang, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but the three business development managers who came before, whoever guaranteed that it was definitely near the highway?"

  "This is not it, but everything can be negotiated." Tang didn't quite understand the subtlety here.

  Xuan Taoming smiled and shook his head, saying "Tang Zong, let me put it this way, the 'three connections and one leveling' policy in the investment promotion department does exist, but that's a policy only available to big taxpayers. If someone tells you they can get you a good deal and then leaves you by the roadside, be cautious, very cautious, or they might just be scamming you, signing the contract and then using excuses to brush you off."

  Manager Tang was not so easily fooled, waving his hand: "Your government can't be that untrustworthy, right?"

  "Our government still has some credibility, but I'm afraid of being deceived by corrupt officials." Xuan Taoming said calmly.

  Tang Liang was indeed alerted this time, and it's not ruled out that some cadres would deceive their superiors and then deceive them again, ultimately pushing all the responsibility to the top while pretending to be a good person themselves.

  Just as they were talking, a man who claimed to be from the Municipal Bureau of Commerce came over and introduced himself as Zhao Qiang.

  Zhao Qiang was also quite surprised, didn't expect to coincidentally bump into the commercial office downstairs.

  Zhao Qiang, over thirty years old, had a sharp glint in his left eye and a capable look in his right eye. He smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect to run into a comrade, how's the conversation going?"

  Xuan Taoming's tone is not pleasant to hear, it sounds like you are concerned about the comrades who are in charge of investment promotion, but when Tang Liang asked what you meant, did you do it because you are from the municipal bureau and have an overbearing attitude? Or is it because you never had any hope that I could get it done and looked down on me?

  "Get out of my sight." Xuan Taoming said lightly, but his words were laced with a hint of disdain.

  Zhao Qiang smiled vaguely, "Not bad, the comrades below are also very motivated, being able to find this place means you're working hard and seriously. Keep up the good work, our superiors will be delighted to see such good comrades like you."

  You're paralyzed, one mouthful on top of the other, one mouthful below, believe it or not, I'll beat you up? Don't you just want to show off in front of Tang Liang? Tang Liang, don't be so stupid.

  "I'm Tang's wife, you... what's with that expression!"

  Xuan Taoming looked at Tang Liang, his eyes shining brightly, and warmly shook hands with Zhao Qiang, whose words were laced with flattery, making Xuan Taoming feel uncomfortable.

  "Mr. Xuan, I'll consider it carefully on my side." Tang Liang said, meaning to shoo him away.

  "Maybe we can cooperate again." Xuan Taoming stood up with a hint of frustration and left.

  "Don't be discouraged, next time I'll find a few projects for you." Zhao Qiang said with a faint smile.

  You're killing me! You think you can just take this project and run with it? I don't believe that!

  Xuan Taoming came out and thought left and right, couldn't think of a good way to come. Tang Liang that two goods completely gave the "city bureau" two words dizzy, guessing Zhao Qiang said what he believed! How to expose Zhao Qiang?

  "Xiao Yi, your wise and powerful master has encountered a deceitful fox. Is there any way to capture the fox?" Xuan Tai Ming asked.

  "Master, how about this...?" Xiao Yi came up with a plan.

  Xuan Tai Ming cried and laughed: "Little Yi, this is too much!"

  Xiao Yi replied calmly: "Xiao Yi's thinking mode is set by the master. Only when the master loses, will Xiao Yi lose."

  Xuan Taoming was choked, when did I lose, that's what I call being clever... Alright, this time you're also clever.

  "The ancients said, 'War is a deceitful way!'". Xuan Taoming thought Xiao Yi's strategy was not bad, and he picked up the phone with a sinister look, dialing the number on Zhao Qiang's business card.

  Zhao Qiang was just coaxing Tang Liang, in Zhao Qiang's heart, he didn't think much of this 15 million project, the comprehensive evaluation index is not high, but now there are no projects on hand, even a mosquito leg is meat, so let's just make do with it.

  Suddenly, the phone rang. It was a regular customer, so Zhao Qiang naturally hung up directly. But this time, Zhao Qiang had an attitude of being neither eager nor reluctant, and politely glanced at his phone before hanging up.

  But soon after, it came in again.

  "Tang, sorry about this, I need to take a call." Zhao Qiang smiled and stepped out for a few paces.

  Tang Liang was slightly displeased, but we were discussing business, and you pushed me aside like this, didn't you look down on me? However, the "Municipal Bureau" sign still made Zhao Qiang shine brightly. Tang Liang's displeasure was hidden in his heart. In his eyes, the Municipal Bureau was more credible than the Investment Promotion Office below.

  And Zhao Qiang just promised to find a nearby land block for him, and also promised some super-policy preferential treatment. No wonder the people in the municipal bureau are so capable, they can give super-policy preferential treatment because they are close to the leaders and can handle things more flexibly. But the staff in the handling office are really miserable, if you try to give a little more beyond the policy? Before it even reaches the eyes of the municipal leadership, it's been slapped back down.

  "Hello, who is this?" Zhao Qiang said politely out of business habit.

  "It's Zhao Qiang from the Municipal Bureau Business Department." Xuan Taoming pinched his nose and spoke faintly. "I'm Qin, the assistant to Director Zhao of Tai Min, we hope to understand your policy information."

  Zhao Qiang immediately became suspicious. This Thai people's factory was his superior, and the head of the business department, Li Zekun, was in charge. How could he be involved? How did this Thai person end up contacting him? Moreover, he had never heard that the Thai people had a general manager with the surname Zhao!

  However, just in case, he still smiled on the surface: "Is it Assistant Qin? Isn't someone else responsible for this matter?"

  "If you listen to only one side, then it's dark; if you listen to both sides, then it's clear. Director Zhao wants to confirm the authenticity of the policy. If it's inconvenient for you to come, you can say it over the phone. If there's no time to connect the call, then I'll find someone else. Hang up."

  "Hold on a minute!" Even Zhao Qiang's sharp mind couldn't help but feel suspicious at this moment. This kind of thing was quite common, often when a salesperson landed a project, the client would find someone else to ask about specific policies and confirm things. And with Tai Min's huge 10 billion project, how could they not be cautious? Plus, being Li Zekun's subordinate, Tai Min might think he knew some inside information or something.

  "Where shall we meet? What time should I go?" Zhao Qiang thought this was an opportunity to fish for information, wanting to hear the real situation. Even if it's not true, going once won't lose anything, what if it's really true?

  "Wan Tian Hotel, Mr. Zhao is very busy and can only wait for you for half an hour, call again when you arrive." Xuan Tai Ming hung up the phone and directly put Zhao Qiang on the blacklist, smacking his lips and smiling faintly "Hmm, should I change my phone number?"

  Half an hour? Zhao Qiang's face was bitter, and now he was driving non-stop, barely making it!

  "Director Tang, let's discuss this another day. There's an urgent matter in the office, I'll come over again to talk to you in detail later, okay?" Zhao Qiang said with a mix of anxiety and politeness.

  Tang Liang was really annoyed. Have you ever seen someone who walks away while talking to you? I'm not asking for your help, but don't look down on us! Don't make excuses, I can come up with better ones! At this moment, Tang Liang suddenly remembered what Xuan Taoming said: there are officials who deceive their superiors and bully their inferiors.

  This guy looks down on them so much, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a possibility of boasting with empty words. The weak horse is good at deceiving, if not them, who else?

  "Mr. Zhao, what was that policy you just mentioned?" Tang Liang asked tentatively.

  Zhao Qiang didn't have time to bother with him, so he just grabbed his bag and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, it's absolutely no problem!"

  See off Zhao Qiang, Tang Liang not only didn't feel at ease because of Zhao Qiang's big package and big sleeves, but instead pulled a long face, angrily pounding the table "Government officials, really not one good thing!" Tang Liang was previously blinded by Zhao Qiang's dazzling "Municipal Bureau" two words, now suspicious, how can you not see that the other party has a problem?

  A businessman with a real mind would never believe someone who is overly confident, as such people often lack credibility and believing them will only lead to trouble. After careful consideration, Tang Liang finally labeled Zhao Qiang as untrustworthy based on his past behavior.

  Zhao Qiang's head cleared up a bit after he got on the car, and he suddenly slapped his forehead: "Not good! I've said too much. This Tang guy shouldn't be suspicious, right? The policy of surpassing the standard is not fake, but with this Boming Horse's qualifications, it's impossible to get close to the shortcut! Forget it, this Tang guy is so stupid, he shouldn't be suspicious. Let's talk about it when we get back."

  Tang Liang sat on the sofa with a dark face, staring at the table for five minutes.

  "Tang Zong, is everything settled?" Xuan Taoming knocked on the door and came back in, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
