You, Qi Tongwei, can reject my proposal, and I can also reject your proposal next time. Then the one who will be embarrassed will still be the top leader.

Then we can only move on to the popular voting session.

From the surface, Xiao Long, Wang Zi and Qi Tongwei himself have three votes, plus the NPC Chairman's vote, a total of four votes.

Lin Manjiang already has three votes, and as long as he can successfully win over the other two people, he still has a chance of winning.

After the meeting, Qi Tongwei was the first to walk out of the meeting room.

Lin Manjiang and his companions smiled at each other, as if they had won a battle.

In the secretary's office, Wang Zi suggested, "Secretary, how about I invite Wen Jing to dinner tonight?"

Wang Zi was really considering Qi Tongwei. After all, the other party was her backer. If she was defeated, she would be in trouble.

You have to know that I am the deputy mayor and nominally under Lin Manjiang's leadership.

Seeing Wang Zi's worried look, Qi Tongwei decided to reassure her, "Don't worry, I have people here. No matter how Lin Manjiang jumps up and down, I will have no problem getting five votes."

Wang Zi was suddenly surprised. Among the five committee members who came over, they had never seen Qi Tongwei getting close to anyone.

Unexpectedly, the other party said that he already had one vote. This is a very crucial vote, and it was hidden so deeply.

Chapter 179 Memory Restoration Water

Inside the county party committee office.

Wu Chunlin slammed the table excitedly, "Comrade Zhaolin, how have you been doing in the past half month? We have spent nearly 20,000 yuan, but we haven't summoned any merchants.

Is it your team that is not good enough, or is it you who are not good enough? If you are not good enough, then quickly give up your position and I will let someone who is capable take over. If your team is not good enough, I will replace the entire team."

Wu Chunlin has been in office for almost a month and is in urgent need of an outstanding political achievement to consolidate his position.

In this age where GDP is the measure of a person's success, economic development is the eternal melody.

After investigation and research, he decided to establish an industrial park like Jinshan County. In just over half a month, the industrial park project was launched.

The project was able to be implemented so quickly thanks to the 10 million yuan in funding provided by Qi Tongwei.

A full ten million!

Xiao Jianhua had not expected this at first. He thought he could be re-elected and was ready to work hard, but he didn't expect that news would come that he would be promoted to deputy mayor.

For this reason, he kept the funds intact as a gift to the new team.

At the same time, it is also for the purpose of having a certain say in Yantai County in the future.

Sure enough, this move made Wu Chunlin grateful.

Promoting Qi Tongwei can be considered as returning a favor, and it is also a protection of the Xiao faction.

However, the park has been in operation for nearly half a month, but only a few investors have come. These few were brought in by his secretary Lin Manjiang.

How could Wu Chunlin not be anxious?

The fact that he was parachuted in had caused dissatisfaction among some comrades. If it had not been for the support of the Xiao faction, none of the projects in the industrial park would have been possible.

If the project fails again, it will be a big problem.

Not only will the prestige of the top leader be completely destroyed, but he may even be punished.

Dong Zhaolin's face turned red as he explained, "Secretary Wu, we have tried our best. Everything is difficult at the beginning. We are just a piece of wasteland now. Who would be interested in us?"

"How did Jinshan County get established? Why can't you?" Wu Chunlin cursed:

"I don't want to hear your explanations. I'll give you another month. I want to meet three confirmed companies and ten potential companies. The total investment must reach five million. If I don't meet them, you will resign from your position as the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau!"

(There is no fixed term for investment promotion departments in various places, I will classify them all as investment promotion bureaus)

Dong Zhaolin really wanted to say that this was all pulled here step by step by Jinshan County Mayor Li Dakang.

But I can't say this, or Wu Chunlin will scold me to death.

After receiving a scolding, Dong Zhaolin came out of the county party secretary's office with a bitter face, and was temporarily melancholy.

China Merchants Group is a good job, but also a bad job.

The advantage is that you can eat and drink at public expense with a legitimate reason.

If you do well, it will be easy to be promoted to deputy county magistrate.

But the downside is that it has always been a key focus unit in the county, and many leaders are paying attention to it.

If you don't do a good job, you will be fired in a minute, not to mention being a deputy county magistrate.

Yantai County's investment promotion has always been lukewarm and it really has no advantages.

The city is resource-poor, not located at a transportation hub, and leaders are unable to attract investment.

The only signboard was created by Qi Tongwei. He has a strong background, but where does my background come from? Except for his ability to eat, drink and have fun.

Just as Dong Zhaolin was reminiscing about the time when Xiao Jianhua was around, someone patted him on the shoulder.

When I turned my head, I saw an old face looking at me with a smile.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"Oh, County Magistrate Liang, you scared me."

The visitor was none other than the Executive Deputy County Mayor Liang Tiande. The two were superiors and subordinates, and were also drinking buddies in private.

"What's wrong? Why are you so startled?" Liang Tiande showed a puzzled expression.

Dong Zhaolin sighed and spread his hands, "It's not that the task is not completed. Look, I just came out from Secretary Wu. If I don't make any progress, you will have to go to the CPPCC to have a drink with me."

Liang Tiande smiled and said, "It's not that serious. I think Secretary Wu is quite easy to talk to."

Dong Zhaolin curled his lips and thought, that's for you, Secretary Xiao's diehard supporter and the new official's right-hand man, so of course it's different.

"No more talking, County Magistrate Liang, I have to rush to the city to attend an investment promotion conference."

"Hey, go ahead. I originally wanted to give you some advice, but since you are busy, forget it." Liang Tiande said dimly.

Dong Zhaolin immediately retracted his outstretched foot, turned around and grabbed Liang Tiande's hand.

"County Magistrate Liang, what's your plan?"

"Uh..., I forgot." Liang Tiande looked up at the sky with a stunned expression.

"Oh, my dear brother, please tell me quickly. I am almost exhausted."

Liang Tiande smacked his lips and patted Dong Zhaolin, "Little Dong, I'm old now and my memory is not good. I'll tell you when I remember."

Dong Zhaolin understood what the other party meant. "I have some memory recovery water from Maotai Town in your province. I'll give you a bottle later."

"Ah! I remember now."

"Talk about it."

"Actually, going to the city or provincial investment promotion conference is useless. In my opinion, there is a very good investment promotion place in our county, where you will be more likely to succeed."

"where?"

"Lone Eagle Town, it's so popular there, there are so many wealthy businessmen, it would be better for you to just go there and make a brand."

"We have tried it. Let alone our Merchants Bureau, many people in various towns are casting their nets there!" Dong Zhaolin explained, "But most of those wealthy businessmen are here for fun and don't bother to pay attention to us. In addition, the cost of food, accommodation and transportation in Guying Town is extremely high, and Guying Town is unwilling to give us a discount.

To be honest, we spent one-third of our funds on this, but in the end, we didn’t hear a single word.”

"So, you didn't grasp the method. Look for the reason in yourself. Have you worked hard these past few days? Have you just been eating, drinking, living and traveling, or looking for investment? I am embarrassed to expose you."

The two have known each other for several years, and Liang Tiande already knows each other's character very well.

Dong Zhaolin touched his slightly peaked hair and did not argue, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

"I don't understand anything about attracting investment." Liang Tiande shook his head.

"Hey, County Magistrate Liang, please stop teasing me."

"Look, you're anxious again. I don't understand. There must be someone in Lone Eagle Town who understands. Let's go and learn from him." Liang Tiande patted Dong Zhaolin on the shoulder. "Besides, that person is a big boss and has a lot of money!"

Dong Zhaolin slapped his head and said, "Yes, we only look at those wealthy businessmen. Don't we have a big boss in our family?"

"Hey, his brain is not damaged yet, he can be saved." Liang Tiande nodded.

Dong Zhaolin quickly said goodbye to Liang Tiande, "County Magistrate Liang, thank you. I will make arrangements now. Goodbye."

Having said that, he broke into a trot.

Liang Tiande shouted from behind, "Don't forget my memory recovery water!"

"Can't forget!"

...

Chapter 180 Li Gui meets Li Kui

The increasingly hot weather made Qi Tongwei lose interest in going out.

And I can hide in the office, enjoy the coolness brought by the air conditioner, and steal half a day of leisure.

All this was interrupted by a middle-aged bald fat man.

"Fatty Dong, didn't I just ask someone to send you a few potential investors? Why are you still trying to take advantage of me?" Qi Tongwei said unhappily.

"What investor?" Dong Zhaolin was stunned.

"A few days ago, I asked Comrade Man Jiang to attend a meeting and send him to the county. Don't you remember?"

"No." Dong Zhaolin looked confused.

Qi Tongwei was stunned for a few seconds, but soon realized that Lin Manjiang was taking credit for it himself.

Although Lin Manjiang was negotiating with these investors, if he hadn't brought up Zhao Xiaoya's name, he might not have been able to win the deal.

In fact, it doesn't matter how you give it. This is not the most important thing. What's important is that I clearly instructed to submit it to the County Investment Promotion Bureau for coordination, but the other party actually went against my will behind my back.

"I must have remembered it wrongly." Qi Tongwei said calmly, "You want to invest. So, I'm planning to build a canning factory and give one to you. Now you can have an explanation."

"Canneries? How many? How big are they?" Dong Zhaolin picked up a pen and paper excitedly.

"About one or two million, and we'll add more later depending on sales."

"That's enough." Dong Zhaolin seemed to have thought of something and hesitated, "But are you sure you want to invest in a canning factory?"

"What? What's the problem?"

"Brother, are you sure this canned food will sell well? As far as I know, the canned food market is already saturated. Just two years ago, a large canning factory in our neighboring Hanjiang Province closed down, and more than 2,000 people were laid off."

"Really? There is such a thing?" Qi Tongwei didn't really know much about the canning industry, he just wanted his products to be preserved longer and sold further.

Dong Zhaolin repeated what he knew, "I heard that it was later acquired by a nutrition company with more than 100 employees for 80 million yuan. It was called something like wahaha."

“Wow!”

So that's how it is. Not to mention how famous he became in later generations, even now he is still a frequent guest in TV advertisements.

"Don't worry, they have a big ship that is hard to turn around, unlike us, who can make special canned goods and choose to sell them as specialties in Lone Eagle Town."

These bankrupt large factories all have one problem, which is bloated staff, resulting in insufficient income to make ends meet.

The above-mentioned thinking is rigid and they are afraid to innovate, so they gradually lose their competitiveness in the market.

For example, Mantou Banli and Lao Gan Niang were established in the mid-1990s, but they still managed to survive.

"As long as you have a plan."

Dong Zhaolin was also relieved. He had tried his best to persuade the other party, but the other party insisted on continuing to make canned food. If he made a loss, it would no longer be his business.

That afternoon, Qi Tongwei accompanied Dong Zhaolin to the county town for inspection.

The vehicle took the 055 township road.

When they arrived at Longkou Town, Dong Zhaolin sighed: "Longkou Town has benefited greatly from you in the past two years."

Hearing this, Qi Tongwei opened his eyes and looked out the window, only to realize that he had arrived at Longkou Town.

The roads in Longkou Town are very smooth, no wonder Qi Tongwei felt like he was still on the main road in Guying Town.

"They developed all this on their own, just borrowing a little momentum."

"Xiao Qi, drive slower." Dong Zhaolin smiled without saying anything and patted Qi Xiaomo, the driver and Qi Tongwei's secretary.

When the car slowed down, Dong Zhaolin pointed to an intersection not far away and said, "See that? Look and see what's written on it."
