Chapter 1904 In full view

These words were obviously directed at Tang Shaoying.

Tang Shaoying's face looked a little ugly, but the matter was not made clear. He felt that as long as he expressed his position vaguely, it would be fine. After all, these city leaders also wanted an attitude.

Tang Shaoying was about to speak when Liu Fusheng, who was also attending the meeting, said, "Comrades, I have vaguely heard that many people are discussing our Chaojiang region's investment promotion policy. If this is true, I hope you can stand up and speak openly and transparently. Don't make innuendos. If you are vague, others will not be able to speak openly!"

My goodness, his words instantly aroused public anger.

Chaojiang City actually got an advantage and still acted like a good kid? You, Liu Fusheng, really think that no one dares to say anything to you in person? If you don't dare to say anything, maybe everyone will let you go. If you dare to jump out, you will definitely be punished!

Immediately, a leader with a more straightforward temper said in a deep voice: "Secretary Liu, we were indeed a little vague just now. Now I will make it clear on behalf of that comrade. What we are discussing is the military order signed by you and Deputy Secretary Tang."

"We all understand that Deputy Secretary Tang is willing to help you, but there is no need for you to use the military order gimmick. Aren't you treating the other comrades as fools?"

"Many of our leaders have visited companies that have recently signed cooperation agreements with Chaojiang City, and even offered better conditions. However, the other party was dismissive and openly stated that no matter how superior the conditions in other places are, they cannot compare with Chaojiang City, because these are all orders from Deputy Secretary Tang."

The leader glared at Tang Shaoying and Liu Fusheng and said, "Is this method of yours honorable? This is simply a way to gain fame!"

In the conference room, many leaders nodded along, feeling relieved.

As this person said, this matter is indeed not very glorious. As a leader who is in charge of the overall situation, he would not do things this way.

Tang Shaoying gritted his teeth. He found that the matter was getting worse and worse.

Just as he was considering and about to explain, Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "Hey, it's true that we did something wrong in attracting investment."

Tang Shaoying's face changed. What do you mean we did something wrong? If you did something wrong, then you did something wrong. Why did you drag me into this?

He hurriedly said, "Secretary Liu, you and I have never had any private contact. Please don't talk nonsense."

Liu Fusheng said: "Ah, yes, we have no private contact, but Secretary Tang is concerned about Chaojiang City and does not want me to have too much pressure because of the military order, so he tried every means to quietly help Chaojiang City to revitalize the economy and promote development. I am deeply grateful for this."

"Comrades, please do not misunderstand. We have not conspired anything in private. Regarding the issue of attracting investment raised by some sister cities, I deeply apologize here. I really didn't know that Secretary Tang had made so much effort to help Chaojiang District."

Liu Fusheng's words seemed to be nice, but in fact, they attracted a lot of firepower for Tang Shaoying.

He clarified time and again that he and Tang Shaoying had no connection at all, and there was even a sense of trying to cover up something fishy. He said not to let others overthink it, but in a just right way, he made everyone overthink it.

Tang Shaoying was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Yang Qinghe, the deputy mayor of Pengcheng, said, "Secretary Liu, if you really feel guilty, you should make some statement to make up for the losses of our sister city. Of course, what we want is not these companies that have signed investment intentions, but a healthy and fair business environment."

"Fairness and stability are the keynotes of the market economy. Chaojiang has obtained these investments by relying on its connections, which has undoubtedly damaged the business environment in eastern Guangdong Province. If other cities also do this, how can those cities that do not have adequate connections develop?"

"We are public servants, not businessmen. The people of Chaojiang need to boost the economy. Should the people of other sister cities be left to suffer poverty?"

This guy is very extreme and likes to pull people out and beat them up. After he said this, almost all local leaders expressed their agreement.

Liu Fusheng knew very well that Yang Qinghe was assisting him so that he could continue to attack Tang Shaoying.

He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Alas, what Mayor Yang said is indeed reasonable. Although I have issued a military order to develop the economy, I can't just sit there and watch our sister city suffer... I, I am here to make a decision reluctantly!"

Liu Fusheng closed his eyes and said sadly: "From the end of the last meeting to today, all the investment promotion cooperation agreements signed by Chaojiang City have been unilaterally invalidated. If the leaders of various places have the intention to attract investment from those companies, then we will start a new round of fair and just competition! Whoever has better conditions will be able to attract corporate investment!"

"Secretary Tang, what do you think of my proposal?"

Liu Fusheng not only muddied the waters, but also threw this sharp issue to Tang Shaoying.

Tang Shaoying's head was buzzing. This time he was completely tricked by Liu Fusheng.

Reverse bidding does happen occasionally, but large-scale reverse bidding on a provincial basis is unheard of.

In particular, those bidding are all companies under Shengtang Group.

Liu Fusheng was forcing Tang Shaoying to introduce the Tang family's funds and resources into the entire Guangdong Province.

If all these enterprises were to rush into Chaojiang District, they would definitely be able to control the economic lifeline of Chaojiang District and then control Liu Fusheng, the secretary of the municipal party committee.

However, facing the huge eastern Guangdong province, these companies are equivalent to providing welfare to various cities. Given their size, it is difficult for them to stir up any more waves.

In front of everyone, Liu Fusheng had already made enough gestures and said enough nice words. As the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, how could Tang Shaoying refuse outright?

Including before the formal meeting, Tang Shaoying had already expressed his attitude at the briefing of the provincial standing committee. If he refused now, it would seem that he was harboring selfish motives, undermining unity, and even destroying the business environment of the entire province.

Tang Shaoying coughed twice, and said with great effort, "Secretary Liu's idea is good, and what Deputy Mayor Yang of Pengcheng said is also reasonable. Our Guangdong Province is the leader of the national economy. The business environment is more important than any economic indicator. We must obey the overall situation."

"I must reiterate that East Guangdong Province is currently the province with the fastest economic development, the best policies and the most comprehensive services in the country. We are the role model for other brother provinces, so everything must be done in an open and transparent manner to stand the test of time."

"Comrades, if you find any problems, you must raise them. Finding the problems and correcting them in time is the way for the development of East Guangdong Province."
