Chapter 2610 Advantages Others Don’t Have

Tang Shaoying looked at Liu Fusheng with satisfaction: "Comrade Fusheng, you shouldn't be so conservative. We serve the people and develop the national economy. First of all, we must have strong self-confidence. If you, the main leader, don't have confidence, how can the comrades below carry out their work?"

"How about this? Give me and all my comrades a piece of mind. How much investment can your Chaojiang region secure during this foreign business visit?"

Tang Shaoying was not polite at all. He seized the opportunity and forced Liu Fusheng into a corner.

Liu Fusheng laughed and said, "Tang Sheng, you're putting me in a difficult position. The objective situation is right here..."

Seeing that Liu Fusheng still wanted to play Tai Chi, Tang Shaoying immediately winked at Liu Bo.

Liu Bo understood and said, "Provincial Governor Liu, don't worry. Jiangtou City will make a statement first. I think it shouldn't be a problem for Jiangtou City to secure 10 billion yuan in investment."

Ten billion!

Many people gasped. Liu Bo really dared to say that.

As the mayor of Jiangtou City, Li Wu hurriedly said, "Secretary Liu, how did you calculate this 10 billion? Investment estimates require detailed and accurate figures to support them. You can't just make a decision on a whim!"

Liu Bo sneered, "Why? Does Mayor Li have so little confidence in Jiangtou City? Tang Sheng just said that as a major leader, one must have the courage to take responsibility and create miracles. With Jiangtou City's policies and various industrial layouts, ten billion is really that difficult? Or does Mayor Li not want to take responsibility and reassure the provincial leaders?"

"I..." Li Wu was choked. He didn't expect that Liu Bo and Tang Shaoying sang the same tune and cooperated very well.

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, don't get excited. I know you're doing this for your work and for the future of Jiangtou City. It's very necessary to unite your comrades. I think Comrade Li Wu is just preparing to take steady steps."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Fusheng again and said, "Comrade Fusheng, you have to understand the province's difficulties. The country has not given us any targets, which is already very considerate of us. In this situation, if the country asks the province to come up with a number and we can't come up with it, that would be unacceptable."

Tang Shaoying pretended to think, then said, "Of course, I understand the thoughts of Comrade Fusheng and the other comrades in Chaojiang City. If you feel there are any difficulties that are difficult to overcome, why not let comrades who are confident give it a try first? For example, Secretary Liu Bo."

This is too explicit.

You, Liu Fusheng, are hesitant and dare not state your goal, so don't blame me for replacing you in the name of the province. This is not something I do on purpose to make things difficult for you, but you are useless.

Tang Shaoying's move was very tricky. Liu Fusheng was the deputy provincial governor in charge of the economy in eastern Guangdong, and also the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee, in charge of the three cities in Chaojiang.

Either of these two titles is enough to give him absolute say in matters concerning foreign business delegations.

Even Tang Shaoying had no way to interfere forcibly.

But now, Tang Shaoying asked Liu Fusheng to set a goal in the name of the country.

If Liu Fusheng can't do it, Tang Shaoying can replace him, and others won't be able to say anything. They may even think that Liu Fusheng lacks courage and dares not take responsibility.

Sun Hai couldn't help but say, "Provincial Tang, isn't it a bit premature to shout slogans now? Provincial Liu must have an idea of the total investment amount. To be on the safe side, he's reluctant to give a specific number... Regardless of the amount of federal investment, it's still considered an achievement for Guangdong East."

"For some things, we can't just look at the reported data, but also the final results. Liu Sheng is the steward in charge of the province's economy. He is very familiar with the situation in Chaojiang District. It can even be said that the current situation in Chaojiang was created by Liu Sheng himself."

"On the other hand, some comrades who blindly proposed targets have just landed in the Chaojiang area and haven't even settled down yet. They have no grasp of the overall situation. Should we entrust such a heavy responsibility to such impulsive comrades? This would put the reputation of eastern Guangdong at risk."

Sun Hai's words were well-reasoned and surprised Tang Shaoying a little.

He smiled faintly and said, "Director Sun's words certainly make sense, but I've already stated my difficulties and reasons. The country doesn't want to see results, and it's impossible to get results directly by bypassing the process. What I want is Comrade Fusheng's attitude. I believe that given Comrade Fusheng's personal ability and consistent performance, he must be confident. If he is confident, why not express it?"

Tang Shaoying looked at Liu Fusheng again.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I do have a rough estimate in my mind, but I don't dare to be as confident as Comrade Liu Bo and pat my chest to make any guarantees."

Li Wu also said: "Comrade Liu Bo and I came to Jiangtou City to perform our duties together. During this period, I have been learning about all aspects of Jiangtou City's situation. I also feel that Comrade Liu Bo's claim of a 10 billion yuan investment has no substantive basis."

Zhao Qiuwei, Gu Hongcheng and others all nodded slightly after hearing this.

In fact, any experienced person could see that Liu Bo just casually said a number, and his purpose was to trick Liu Fusheng at the meeting.

As for the basis for Liu Bo's 10 billion investment, I'm afraid he himself doesn't know.

Tang Shaoying didn't have much hope for Liu Bo.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bo smiled coldly at this moment and took over Li Wu's words and said, "Comrade Li Wu, I can understand your thoughts. Because your main work content in the past was in the judicial field, and you basically didn't deal with economic matters."

"Even after arriving in Jiangtou, Comrade Li Wu's primary concern was the social stability of Jiangtou City and the building of clean governance in the judicial system. When it comes to the economic sector, I know more about it."

Li Wu was a little unconvinced and retorted, "I know Comrade Liu Bo used to work in Shanghai and may have made some achievements in economic development, but we have just arrived in an unfamiliar environment. You don't even understand the specific problems in Jiangtou City. How can you draw detailed conclusions?"

Liu Bo said calmly, "For a city this size, it would probably take several months or even half a year to fully understand the detailed economic data. This is also the main reason why local leaders are unable to achieve results quickly after taking office."

“But I have some advantages that other notifications don’t have.”

Tang Shaoying asked with great interest: "Comrade Liu Bo, what are your advantages?"

Liu Bo smiled and said, "When I was in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, I met many Fortune 500 companies, including the Lv's Jade Group, that came to Chaojiang for inspection."

Everyone was slightly stunned. After thinking about this situation carefully, they realized that it was indeed possible. After all, Shanghai is the most economically powerful municipality in my country and the largest port for foreign trade.

When international companies come to my country, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is often their first choice for investment and headquarters establishment.
