Chapter 534: Conditions
Zhao Baliang didn't expect that Dongcheng City would arrange a deputy mayor to receive him. Although the deputy mayor surnamed Wang is ranked very low, he is also a deputy mayor.
For this deputy mayor, Zhao Baliang naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Mayor Wang, you see that you came to greet him in person, I can't help it." ”
"When I say this, I have been good friends with Director Zou for many years. You are the person he personally introduced, if I don't come to greet you, won't I give Director Zou face?" Mayor Wang hurriedly said, and then took Zhao Baliang directly to the best hotel in Dongcheng City for dinner.
During the banquet, Mayor Wang asked, "I heard Director Zou say that Mr. Zhao, are you going to go to Huangqu Town?"
Nodding, Zhao Baliang said, "Yes, go over there to do something." ”
Pouring a glass of wine for Zhao Baliang, Mayor Wang asked tentatively: "Zhao always plans to invest in Huangqu Town?" Because Zou Qiang told him on the phone that Zhao Baliang was a businessman, Mayor Wang naturally thought of Zhao Baliang's plan to invest.
Laughing, Zhao Baliang said, "Sort of." I haven't decided yet, so I'll have to check it out first!"
Hearing that Zhao Baliang had the intention to invest, Mayor Wang was even more happy. If you attract investment, it will be a great performance. Especially for less developed cities like Dongcheng.
"I don't know what Mr. Zhao plans to invest in, if I can help, I will do my best. Mayor Wang hurriedly asked if Zhao Baliang agreed to invest in Dongcheng, in that case, this performance could also be counted on his head.
"I'm very interested in the pocket watermelons in Huangqu Town, and I plan to set up a company to be responsible for the cultivation and ......sales of watermelons," Zhao Baliang roughly said his thoughts, "However, the traffic in Huangqu Town is very worrying!"
"Hey...... The province has always said that it will give grants, but every time we go to ask for money, the province says that it is in financial difficulties, and this back and forth ...... "Mayor Wang is also very distressed. The city doesn't want to do some political achievements, but there is no money!
Zhao Baliang also knew that there were difficulties in the province. There are more towns and villages like Huangqu Town in Central and South China, and if every one of the provinces allocates funds, I am afraid that every year, the province will not have to do anything. At the end of the day, it's still the local people who are too poor. If it is like Jiangcheng and has developed well, how can it not be able to build a road?
Zhao Baliang talked a lot with Mayor Wang, and he also had a general understanding of the situation in Dongcheng. Knowing the situation in Dongcheng, Zhao Baliang became more confident in his plan, and he believed that as long as he proposed this plan, the local government would definitely agree to it.
After eating, Zhao Baliang proposed to go directly to Huangqu Town. Because he knew that Zhao Baliang had investment intentions, Mayor Wang naturally hurriedly said that he would accompany him.
With Mayor Wang by his side, Zhao Baliang was naturally happy. Although Zhao Baliang's background is good, in the eyes of the officials below, Zhao Baliang is nothing. However, it is different to be accompanied by Mayor Wang, although Mayor Wang is ranked low, he is a real deputy mayor!
"It's really troublesome Mayor Wang, why don't I go by myself?" Although Mayor Wang offered to accompany Zhao Baliang to go together, Zhao Baliang also had to be polite.
Zhao Ba was polite, and Mayor Wang naturally said again and again that there was no need to be polite. Zhao Baliang found that Mayor Wang did not have his own car, so he took the initiative to invite Mayor Wang to take his own car. Mayor Wang was naturally happy, and together with the secretary, he got directly into Zhao Baliang's car.
When he was in the car, Mayor Wang called the leaders of Huangqu Town directly.
When Zhao Baliang and Mayor Wang drove to Huangqu Town, the relevant leaders of Huangqu Town were already waiting for them. Seeing Mayor Wang, several leaders of Huangqu Town hurriedly stepped forward and "warmly welcomed Mayor Wang to visit our Huangqu Town to guide the work......"
"I mainly accompanied Mr. Zhao this time. Mr. Zhao plans to invest in you, which is a good thing, and you Huangqu Town should seize the opportunity. Mayor Wang hurriedly introduced Zhao Baliang's identity. Otherwise, according to the temperament of these people below, they really dare to leave Zhao Baliang alone.
Hearing that they were here to invest, the leaders of Huangqu Town had green eyes. What a good thing it is that they are in the middle of nowhere, and that someone has come to invest.
Invited Zhao Baliang and Mayor Wang to the best restaurant in the town, Ding Jun, the mayor of Huangqu Town, said: "Mayor Wang, Mr. Zhao, I'm really embarrassed. There's nothing to entertain, don't dislike it......"
"Mayor Ding, what are you talking about? Zhao Baliang hurriedly said: "After such a long journey, we are very satisfied to have a hot meal." ”
During the meal, Zhao Baliang began to ask about the situation in Huangqu Town, "Mayor Ding, do you have many farmers who grow that kind of small watermelon in Huangqu Town?"
"Lot, don't look small about this little watermelon, but it's sweet. It's selling well outside. What's the matter, Mr. Zhao is going to buy some?" Ding Jun looked at Zhao Baliang and hurriedly asked. Because the rain washed away the road a few days ago, the watermelons in many villages below could not be transported, and they were about to rot in the ground, and Ding Jun was more anxious than anyone else. At this time, he naturally wants to sell it as soon as possible.
"I want to buy it, but it's just your traffic here, how can this watermelon be transported out?" Zhao Baliang looked at Ding Jun with embarrassment. In order to put himself in an advantageous position for a while, Zhao Baliang must now show all his difficulties in front of Ding Jun.
Originally, Ding Jun wanted to fool Zhao Baliang, but he didn't expect that Zhao Baliang knew better than anyone else. Ding Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Don't tell Mr. Zhao and Mayor Wang that because the rain washed away the road a few days ago, the watermelons in many villages below could not be transported at all. ”
"Lao Ding, this is your fault, since you know that the watermelon can't be shipped, you still let Mr. Zhao buy it, aren't you a cheater?" Mayor Wang said with some displeasure. Zhao Baliang is a performance that he can finally grasp, how can he be easily disturbed by Ding Jun?
Ding Jun also felt a little reluctant, picked up the wine glass, Ding Jun said: "Mr. Zhao, I'm really embarrassed, I'll punish myself with three glasses." As he spoke, he drank wine.
Zhao Baliang hurriedly stopped and said, "Mayor Ding, I know what you mean. You're also for the folks. I really wanted to help the villagers this time. ”
"Huh?" Ding Jun and Mayor Wang couldn't help but look at Zhao Baliang, I don't know which one Zhao Baliang is singing?
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the two, Zhao Baliang said: "I have a little relationship with Yujia Village, and now that the villagers are in trouble, I naturally want to help." ”
Hearing Zhao Baliang's words, Ding Jun was moved in his heart, "Mr. Zhao, you are really a bodhisattva." Don't you know, how many people are counting on this watermelon to live, once the watermelon rots in the ground, the villagers will have to tighten their belts to live!"
"Mayor Ding, don't say that, I came to invest, and there are conditions. "What Ding Jun said, Zhao Baliang was a little embarrassed. He is a businessman, and he is in business, and the reason why he is willing to help the villagers in Huangqu Town is naturally for profit.
Ding Jun and Mayor Wang glanced at each other, and Ding Jun asked, "I don't know what conditions Mr. Zhao has, as long as we can do it in Huangqu Town." ”
"Yes, we have a lot of support in the city. Mayor Wang also hurriedly expressed his position. Regardless, that's a big deal.
Looking at Mayor Wang and Ding Jun, Zhao Baliang said: "My conditions are very simple, I am responsible for building a standard road leading to the town for the villages of Huangqu Town, but Huangqu Town and the villages must sign a contract with me, and the watermelons planted will be sold to me first, otherwise I will be compensated for my losses." ”
Hearing Zhao Baliang's almost charity conditions, Ding Jun and Mayor Wang couldn't believe it. Zhao Baliang not only helped them build roads for free, but also bought their watermelons, where to find such a good thing?
"Mr. Zhao, you're not kidding?" Ding Jun asked in disbelief. Mayor Wang also pricked up his ears and looked at Zhao Baliang. If this thing is done, it will be regarded as his performance.
Seeing the disbelieving eyes of the two, Zhao Baliang was speechless for a while, couldn't he say it clearly enough?
"Mayor Ding and Mayor Wang, my request is that Huangqu Town and all the villages under its jurisdiction must sign a contract with me to sell me all the watermelons at a price not higher than the market price. In other words, your watermelons can only be sold to me, and selling them to others is a violation of the contract and a loss of money!"
"No problem!" Ding Jun didn't think about it, so he agreed directly. Mayor Wang is too, "Mr. Zhao, do you really want to build a standard road, not a simple gravel road?"
You know, the standard road is a cement road, and the cost is many times higher than that of an ordinary gravel road. If Zhao Baliang builds a cement road, it will require at least nearly five million investment!
"The standard cement road, but because of the financial relationship, this road is not too wide, and it is only two lanes. Zhao Baliang hurriedly said. A two-lane cement road is also sufficient in rural areas.
When Mayor Wang heard that Zhao Baliang was going to build a two-lane cement road, Mayor Wang was completely shocked: This was a pie in the sky, and it had been smashed on his head! If this matter had been reported, it would have been a great achievement for Mayor Wang.
"Mr. Zhao, I thank you on behalf of the Dongcheng City Government. Mayor Wang quickly stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Please accept our thanks." As he spoke, Mayor Wang took his wine glass and drank it all.
Ding Jun was also happy, and the highway problem that had plagued him for many years was solved. As the old saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and Zhao Baliang built roads for them, and it will be easy to get rich!
"Mayor Wang, Mayor Ding, you are too polite. Zhao Baliang also quickly stood up and said, "However, I can say ugly things in front, you must sign a contract with me for more than ten years." And in return, my construction company will also develop here in Huangqu Town!"
"Good, good, good. "Mayor Ding said three times in a row, and someone is willing to develop it, which is a great thing. Perhaps, because of this matter, he can go further!
