Chapter 2609 Lack of Confidence

Tang Shaoying waited for a moment, but still no one spoke. He smiled and said, "Comrades, you all have concerns in your hearts. In that case, I will call on the generals."

Then he turned and looked at Liu Fusheng.

At this time, Zhao Qiuwei, the secretary of Jiyang City, suddenly smiled and said, "Since the Tang Province is so concerned about our work, I will just throw out some ideas and say a few words."

Zhao Qiuwei is a firewall between Liu Fusheng and Tang Shaoying. He cannot allow Liu Fusheng to directly argue with Tang Shaoying.

Tang Shaoying said, "Okay, Secretary Zhao, please feel free to speak your mind."

Zhao Qiuwei cleared his throat and said, "First of all, I want to thank the country and the province, especially Tang Province, for their concern and support for our Chaojiang region. I also feel that this foreign business delegation is very important. However, based on the actual situation in our Jiyang City, I am not particularly optimistic about the results of the inspection."

Having said that, Zhao Qiuwei paused slightly and did not continue.

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "Secretary Zhao, don't worry. We are here to speak freely. Say whatever you want to say. If there are any problems, don't be afraid. We can solve them together."

Zhao Qiuwei nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll continue. From my perspective, the Federation's inspection team is large, but it's very likely just for show. Comrades, you all know that the Federation is also under tremendous economic pressure, and their economic situation is not optimistic."

"The federal government hopes to divert domestic conflicts through economic regulation and, through monetary tidal fluctuations, reap the wealth of other countries in order to boost domestic demand, maintain national income, and stabilize the economy. To put it bluntly, they need to restore domestic physical production capacity, force all industries to relocate domestically, and shift all investment back to their own country."

"Faced with strong federal pressure, our cost and productivity advantages may not necessarily attract companies to come and investigate. After all, their roots are across the ocean, not in our country."

Zhao Qiuwei's words were very subtle. He threw all the main problems to federal control. Since the problem happened on the other side of the ocean, you, Tang Shaoying, can't put the blame on the three cities of Chaojiang, right?

After he finished speaking, many people present nodded in support and appreciation.

Tang Shaoying smiled slightly, then fixed his gaze on Liu Fusheng and said, "Secretary Zhao's statement is very objective. Comrade Fusheng, do you agree with this view? Your Chaojiang region should have held internal discussions regarding the federal inspection team, right?"

This guy clearly wants to tie Zhao Qiuwei's views together with Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "For something this important, we must go through multiple discussions and analyses before we can reach a conclusion. We haven't yet determined the general direction, so I haven't reported to the provincial leaders yet."

Seeing Liu Fusheng about to play Tai Chi, Tang Shaoying immediately asked, "Comrade Fusheng, what are your views on the foreign business delegation?"

Liu Fusheng said: "The situation Secretary Zhao described is objectively true. In addition to the federal problems, Chaojiang itself also has certain problems."

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "So, Comrade Fusheng's attitude towards the inspection team isn't particularly optimistic anymore?"

This was good news for him. As long as Liu Fusheng showed a pessimistic attitude, he would have more room to make a fuss.

Liu Fusheng slowly shook his head and said, "Tang Sheng, you misunderstood. I'm neither optimistic nor pessimistic. I feel that since the federal inspection team has arrived in Chaojiang, we will definitely achieve certain results."

What an ambiguous answer.

Tang Shaoying narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that Liu Fusheng, who was always so imposing, would play word games with him.

But can you get away with it this way?

Tang Shaoying can analyze two things from his attitude.

First of all, the foreign business delegation was organized by Lu's Jade Industry. Lu's Jade Industry and Liu Fusheng have a very good relationship. Even if it is a friendly sponsorship, the inspection will not end hastily.

Secondly, Liu Fusheng's attitude shows that he does not have much confidence in other companies except Lu's Jade Industry.

This is also normal. After all, the international environment is there, and large companies have to go with the flow. What if the overall environment in the East and the West cannot improve quickly, wouldn’t it be a waste of federal money invested here?

Thinking of this, Tang Shaoying said, "Comrade Fusheng, I understand your personal attitude, but don't forget that you are the Party Secretary of Chaojiang City, and even the leader in charge of economic development in East Guangdong Province. If even you lack confidence, the comrades below you will definitely lose their motivation."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Fusheng to respond, he looked at Sun Hai and said, "Director Sun, as a leader who has just been promoted from Jiangtou City, please also share your views."

Sun Hai blinked and said, "Thank you, Tang Sheng, Liu Sheng, and all the comrades for your trust in me. In fact, I have seriously considered the matter of the federal inspection team. After all, I had not received the news of the transfer at that time."

"I believe that under the full planning and management of Comrade Liu Fusheng, both Jiangtou City and Chaojiang District have sufficient conditions to accommodate large-scale investment and industrial inflow."

"Jiyang's ongoing industrial park and abundant labor resources fully meet the requirements of a production base. Chaojiang City's high-tech industrial park and its various industrial layouts are also sufficient to match its regional core positioning. Jiangtou City also has the advantage of being a port, and there is no problem in providing foreign trade services to large multinational companies."

"It can be said that as long as foreign business delegations are interested in investing in China, the Chaojiang area will be one of the first choices."

Tang Shaoying smiled and nodded slightly, but Zhao Qiuwei, Li Wu and others all frowned.

Sun Hai's words were too much, even Liu Fusheng was so cautious. What was going on with Sun Hai? Didn't he communicate with Liu Fusheng before the meeting?

In fact, they had already communicated with each other, and what Sun Hai said was what Liu Fusheng asked him to say.

How can the big fish bite if you don’t throw the bait?

Tang Shaoying said, "Director Sun, based on his experience working in Jiangtou City, has determined that this federal inspection team's activities will be very beneficial to us. Is that correct?"

Sun Hai said seriously, "Of course, if I were in Jiangtou City, I would definitely be able to retain the vast majority of foreign businessmen. Now..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Bo spoke up, "Director Sun, you've just left Jiangtou City. Nothing will change in such a short time. Many of Jiangtou City's leaders have expressed their willingness to continue implementing the plans you've formulated."

Liu Bo cooperated with Tang Shaoying and did not give Sun Hai a chance to take back his words.

Sure enough, Sun Hai was slightly stunned and swallowed all the subsequent words back into his stomach.
