Chapter 1902 Investment Plan

Liu Fusheng knew very well that Tang Shaoying's plan was fraught with evil intentions. Even Gu Hongcheng could see it. Most of the companies brought in by the investment promotion were related to Shengtang Group, and some of the core ones were even directly controlled by Shengtang Group.

Tang Shaoying's approach can be considered an open conspiracy.

As long as Liu Fusheng implements his plan, his work results will definitely be outstanding in the short term. But in the long run, it is equivalent to handing over the economy of Chaojiang area to Tang Shaoying. As long as Tang Shaoying is willing, he can make various changes to the economic situation in Chaojiang at any time.

This is equivalent to treating Liu Fusheng, the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee, like a puppet.

However, Liu Fusheng has publicly stated at the provincial economic work conference that he will do his utmost to implement the investment promotion plan.

Once Liu Fusheng refused to implement the plan, Tang Shaoying would have reason to criticize him publicly and even hold him accountable.

Faced with this conspiracy, Liu Fusheng had no way out.

So, the next day, he called Gu Hongcheng to his office and held a closed-door meeting.

Liu Fusheng took out the list and plan for attracting investment, and analyzed it word by word with Gu Hongcheng, checking the conditions of all the companies.

During this period, Gu Hongcheng was not idle. He investigated all these companies according to Liu Fusheng's request.

After two hours of discussion, Liu Fusheng poured a cup of tea for Gu Hongcheng and said, "Mayor Gu, thank you for your hard work. Your investigation is very detailed, which plays a vital role in our policy making."

Gu Hongcheng smiled and said, "This is what I should do. Look at these companies. They are willing to invest a lot of money to build several industrial parks in related industries. There is a big problem here because their money is almost all provided by Shengtang Group."

"If Chaojiang relies on them to build the industrial park, then, as long as Shengtang Group is happy, our economic situation will be in a major crisis, and even the military order you issued may not be realized..."

In fact, what Gu Hongcheng wanted to say was that the military order you issued will definitely not be fulfilled.

Once this plan is implemented, the economic lifeline of Chaojiang will be in Tang Shaoying's hands.

Liu Fusheng said: "What Mayor Gu said makes sense, but these companies have shown such great sincerity, so we can't just reject them, right?"

"This one……"

Gu Hongcheng frowned. According to his original intention, he would put forward some harsh conditions, such as the scale of investment, the number of jobs created, the amount of tax payment, etc., so that these companies would give up.

But on second thought, since the other party has already made every effort to come in, they naturally won’t care about the harsh contract proposed by the Chaojiang Municipal Government, because they have no hope of making money through Chaojiang City. Their purpose is just to disgust Liu Fusheng.

The matter was obvious, but neither Liu Fusheng nor Gu Hongcheng had a legitimate reason to refuse.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Hongcheng said helplessly: "Secretary Liu, I really don't have any good ideas. I wonder what you think?"

Liu Fusheng said: "My idea is very simple. I will talk to all the companies that are interested in investing and set strict entry barriers for all of them."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hongcheng felt secretly worried. It seemed that Liu Fusheng didn't have any good solution. He had thought of this idea a long time ago, but it simply wouldn't work.

Liu Fusheng continued, "After we have discussed everything, we will announce the contents of the negotiations to the public, especially the details of the various clauses, which must be disclosed to the relevant leaders of Pengcheng and Zhucheng."

Gu Hongcheng was stunned: "Why?"

Liu Fusheng said: "I hope that the sister cities in eastern Guangdong Province can engage in healthy competition with us... In addition to the investment volume requirements, we also have to set strict restrictions for these companies, such as venues, surrounding facilities, government support, etc., each of which must be strict."

Since the purpose of these companies is to control the economic lifeline of Chaojiang, they will not care about these things.

After the sister cities receive Chaojiang's investment promotion plan, they will definitely feel dissatisfied or even angry.

Since Chaojiang can offer harsh conditions, why can't Pengcheng and Zhucheng, which have better conditions, offer similar conditions?

If Pengcheng and Zhucheng also issue similar investment promotion agreements to relevant companies, the consequences will be obvious. The other party will definitely not agree, because they are not trying to cheat people.

When places like Pengcheng and Zhucheng find that their relatively superior conditions cannot compete with the harsh conditions of Chaojiang City, they will naturally not give up. At that time, it will be exciting to watch.

Liu Fusheng knew that Gu Hongcheng had figured it out, so he said, "Mayor Gu should know how to implement it, right?"

Gu Hongcheng smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you Secretary Liu for giving me the opportunity to do practical things for Chaojiang. However, I'm afraid it won't be enough if I do everything myself."

Liu Fusheng said: "Don't underestimate yourself. You are the mayor of Chaojiang City. I trust you in both your position and ability. Of course, I will be there when I am supposed to attend. But the specific work will be left to Mayor Gu."

Gu Hongcheng sighed, "I'll do my best. After all, the secretary has more important things to do."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "We can be perfunctory about the investment promotion assigned by Tang Shaoying, but we must also complete the real investment promotion work at the same time. Otherwise, how can Chaojiang District catch up with Pengcheng and Zhucheng?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Hongcheng stood in awe of Liu Fusheng: "Secretary Liu, your move of building a plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang is really brilliant. Not only can you use the companies on the list to attract firepower for us, but you can also find real entrepreneurs to bring development to Chaojiang area. It really kills two birds with one stone."

Gu Hongcheng was glad that he made the right choice by standing on Liu Fusheng's side.

……

After the two of them finalized the plan, they immediately went into action separately.

Gu Hongcheng immediately organized a Chaojiang City investment promotion delegation and included the leaders in charge of economic development in Jiangtou City and Jiyang City into the delegation. According to Tang Shaoying's investment promotion list, they began to negotiate cooperation one by one.

During this process, Tang Shaoying also expressed his concern appropriately, Gu Hongcheng reported the itinerary truthfully, and achieved "fruitful" results.

For a time, good news came frequently, and letters of intent for investment were all successfully signed. The momentum of Chaojiang's three cities in attracting investment suddenly became very huge.

Seeing the news reports showing Liu Fusheng and Gu Hongcheng in high spirits, Yang Qinghe from Pengcheng couldn't sit still.

He specifically called Liu Fusheng and said, "Secretary Liu, you really have the confidence to issue this military order. Chaojiang has achieved such brilliant results recently. It is really admirable."

Liu Fusheng laughed and said, "We are indeed lucky. If the situation continues to develop like this, Mayor Yang should be careful!"
