Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

Chu Shijun withdrew his gaze and nodded, saying, "That's right. I just talked to him. The initial plan is to place the logistics headquarters in Baijiang to radiate and drive the surrounding areas of South China. In addition, we will set up multiple branches in other regions and at the same time, we will strongly support our province's counterpart assistance work."

"So, while we still have time, I'll go with Wentao to look at some land, select a few suitable plots, and then we can finalize the project as soon as possible when they come to inspect it."

Great, great, now I've got a pillow for when I'm sleepy.

Li Dakang was overjoyed; this was exactly what he wanted.

Of course, whether or not you can actually use the pillow is something you still have to work on.

At least for now, he is the first municipal party secretary in the province to know this news. Even Lao Xu from Tianhe, who has the most intense competition, is still in the dark. Others are not a concern. Therefore, Li Dakang can confidently say: The advantage is in my hands!

"Logistics is great! We need to improve logistics!"

Li Dakang turned the tablet on the table around and began to boast in a clear and organized manner:

"Secretary Chu, I had contact with Chairman Liu of Qiandong Group in Handong before. He is a pragmatic entrepreneur who has revitalized his hometown, Qianzhou. Now, he has become a leader in the e-commerce sector, and investing in logistics would be a perfect fit. Moreover, for us, having a mature supporting logistics industry would provide crucial support for our western poverty alleviation efforts. We must support them!"

"We in Zhencheng are willing to act as a fulcrum to help Qiandong Group's logistics headquarters settle in and take root. First of all, we in Zhencheng have land. This land is what I just mentioned. It has significant locational advantages, supporting industries in place, high-tech industries, and convenient transportation with highway entrances on both sides. It is also large in area."

"Secondly, our Zhencheng Municipal Party Committee is planning to attract investment for this land soon. It is a very convenient option. As you know, Secretary Chu, Zhencheng is known for its openness and inclusiveness, making it very suitable for entrepreneurs to invest and do business. Its preferential policies, tax breaks, and selection of scientific research talents are among the best in the country. It is the perfect place for Zhencheng."

"Other places, like Tianhe, it just won't work in Tianhe."

Li Dakang waved his hand.

"I know Tianhe. There isn't much good land left. There are plenty of scraps and corners, but they're hard to centralize. For logistics, centralization is crucial. Tianhe has a large population, but suitable land is almost nonexistent. It's suitable as a branch warehouse, but not as a headquarters."

"Take the oil city as another example. The case that happened some time ago involved a lot of people, and many investors ran away. It's not a good idea."

"Tianzhu City is too far away and has little land, so this is not suitable."

"...There are many mountains and the weather is unpredictable, so it's not suitable."

"...No land, no people, no money, not suitable."

"...that's not appropriate either."

"..."

"Wanxi has plenty of land, but it's poor and there aren't many people. It's suitable for investing in and building factories, so we can consider it as a branch."

……

Across from them, Chu Shijun smoked a cigarette while Ye Wentao suppressed a laugh. The two listened quietly as Li Dakang praised Zhencheng and belittled other places, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

You, the Party Secretary of Zhencheng City, have pointed out the shortcomings of all the other nearby cities, saying this is no good and that is unsuitable, while praising only a few.

What you said makes sense, but would you dare say it at a provincial-level cadre meeting? What's the point of saying it just between the two of us?

Li Dakang seemed to have noticed this as well, and quickly changed his tune, praising it again before ending the conversation, looking on expectantly with eager eyes.

"call"

"Comrade Dakang, you've really opened my eyes today!"

Chu Shijun let out a long breath, raised his hand and pointed at him, "You've criticized more than half of the twenty-one cities in the province, including your Zhencheng. Anyone who didn't know better would think you came here to supervise and inspect the work."

"Secretary Chu, please don't misunderstand. Other cities in the province also have their advantages, but I'm doing this for the sake of the project. The companies that invest here trust us, so we must do our best to ensure the project succeeds and avoid causing any trouble."

Li Dakang said righteously, "I can say that if I were the Party Secretary of Tianhe City, I would definitely take the initiative to recommend projects to be implemented in Zhencheng. For the sake of the overall development of the province, as long as it benefits the people, I can take the lead in giving up the political achievements brought by those projects."

(Xu Nuojun: So, between the two of us, who is the Party Secretary of Tianhe City and who is the Party Secretary of Zhencheng City? Are you even human? Am I even human?)

"Alright, enough with your nonsense."

Chu Shijun glared at him and gestured for Ye Wentao to put away the tablet. "We'll discuss it again when we get back to Baijiang. We'll select a few more plots of land and let them choose for themselves. If you really want to settle in Zhencheng, you'll have to work hard for it yourself."

"Get ready to go to the airport."

Ye Wentao suppressed a smile, picked up his tablet, and followed Chu Shijun out of the small conference room.

Li Dakang remained rooted to the spot, unwilling to give up. If they went back to discuss it again, as an outsider, he would lose his advantage against the locals of Baijiang!

outsiders...

Yes, they are from out of town!

Li Dakang's eyes lit up. Wasn't Qiandong Group also an outsider?

With that thought in mind, he took out his phone, opened his contacts, and dialed the number.

The call was answered within seconds.

"Secretary Li, hello, I am Zhang Kaifeng."

He called the Party Secretary of Qianzhou City.

"Comrade Kaifeng, hello there too. I'm sorry to bother you?" Li Dakang said gently.

"No, no, Secretary Li, you're too kind. I just finished a meeting with Comrade Miao Zhun and we're just relaxing."

Zhang Kaifeng was a little curious; Li Dakang's tone wasn't usually like this. "I heard Secretary Chu also came to Handong. Why are you making this call?"

"Hey, Comrade Kaifeng, we're heading back to Xinjiang soon, so I won't beat around the bush."

Li Dakang smiled and said, "This matter mainly concerns Chairman Liu from your Qianzhou. I'd like to get your contact information so I can make an introduction."

Chairman Liu?

Qiandong Group?

In the office, Zhang Kaifeng immediately became alert, turned on the speakerphone, and Mayor Miao Zhun from the other side came over.

"Secretary Li, it's easy for you to get Chairman Liu's phone number. Just a word from you, no need for me to introduce you."

Indeed, it was very simple for Li Dakang to get this phone number.

Actually, he doesn't need to ask for it; he already has it himself.

However, there are some things that are different when you take the initiative to call someone yourself versus when someone else introduces you and then calls you back. The appropriate level of consideration when discussing these matters is also different.

The former is weaker in itself, while the latter is weaker in the other party.

If the person in charge relaxes their attitude, many things will be much easier to discuss.

That's why there's a saying that to achieve great things, one must remain calm and composed even when Mount Tai collapses before them; only by being patient and patient can one accomplish great things.

"Comrade Kaifeng, Chairman Liu is from your Qianzhou. You, as the municipal party secretary, carry a lot of weight, don't you?"

Li Dakang said with a smile.
