Chapter 180
The two township leaders thought that if Guan Yuntian agreed to their request, the money would be transferred to their accounts immediately. This idea was too simple.
First of all, necessary loan procedures need to be completed. In addition, Guan Yuntian believes that funds must be earmarked for specific purposes. Before the matching funds from the County Transportation Bureau arrive, he does not want to transfer three to four million funds to the township's account. If it is misappropriated for other purposes,
When the time comes, the money has been borrowed but the road has not been repaired. As a business leader, what can I do to them?
Guan Yuntian's words also confused Mayor Huang, "Mr. Guan, didn't you say you have agreed to the loan? When can the loan procedures be completed?"
"You mean the loan procedure? We haven't reached that stage yet."
"What, are there any restrictions on this? How long will it take?" Lao Huang looked a little anxious.
"First, you have to go through formal loan procedures with us in the name of the township and sign a repayment agreement; second, even so, we have to wait until the county transportation bureau's matching funds are in place before our funds can
Past." Guan Yuntian said.
"Why is that? How do you connect it with the county transportation bureau?" Lao Huang didn't understand either.
"Mayor Huang, don't worry about what I say. The funds we lend must be earmarked for specific purposes. If the county transportation bureau's matching funds are not in place, over time, if the funds are misappropriated by the township, the plan to build rural roads will be ruined."
Aren’t you in trouble?”
"After talking for a long time, Mr. Guan didn't believe us! Do you want us to give you a guarantee letter?" Lao Huang seemed a little unhappy.
"We are an enterprise and you are a government agency. How dare we ask you to issue a guarantee! Isn't Mayor Huang teasing us? To tell you the truth, the Transportation Bureau's supporting funds are not in place. Just relying on our borrowings, every village
The rural roads cannot be repaired. When the time comes, our money will be loaned out, but the roads will not be repaired. In the end, unfinished projects will appear. Wouldn’t it make the people laugh? "
"Mr. Guan, do you mean that you have to wait until the transportation bureau's funds are in place before you are willing to lend money?"
"You can understand it this way. The purpose of my call is to ask you to contact the Transportation Bureau as soon as possible so that their matching funds can be received as soon as possible."
Mayor Huang has thoroughly understood Guan Yuntian's calmness and thoroughness. He will not be fooled by anyone's extravagances and always has a clear mind and his own judgment. Maybe Mayor Huang thinks this person is difficult to handle, but Guan Yuntian's
This characteristic is what Deputy County Magistrate Liu appreciates the most. In fact, it is precisely because of his clear mind and accurate judgment that Guan Yuntian can lead Changda Group to develop to its current scale.
Compared with Guan Yuntian's work style, which is planned, goal-oriented and focused on implementation, the working style of individual leaders in townships and towns, where things are done no matter what is done, is simply incompatible. But Mayor Huang has no choice. She can't
Guan Yuntian will not cooperate with her once the transportation bureau's matching funds are set.
Seeing that Guan Yuntian had no room for accommodation, Mayor Huang had to focus on the transportation bureau's matching funds. Fortunately, after the efforts of several leaders in the town, half a month later, the transportation bureau's funds were in place. After receiving the news
Finally, Guan Yuntian kept his word, and in the afternoon of that day, the loan promised by Changda Group was quickly received.
Before winter, the "Village Access" project in three towns was completed, and each town had to hold a completion ceremony. They invited Guan Yuntian to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but Guan Yuntian turned them down. His reason was simple.
If you agree to one township, you have to agree to the invitations of the other two townships. You can't favor one or the other, but he doesn't have that much time. In fact, these are all excuses. The real reason is that Guan Yuntian
I've never been interested in similar activities!
In the sixth year of implementation of the agricultural development project in the northern mountainous area, the three towns involved have not only achieved road connectivity from village to village, but also nearly 30,000 villagers have all been lifted out of poverty, and a golden tourism route has been opened up for the local area.
Guan Yuntian's Changda Group is the specific implementer of this great project. The major media in Fuyuan County and Huayuan City requested interviews and reports, but Guan Yuntian refused one by one. In desperation, these media found the county's
Publicity department.
Through understanding, the propaganda department knew that Guan Yuntian did not like to appear in the media, so they could not contact him directly, but reported the problem to the higher authorities. After learning about this situation, County Magistrate Zhou also found Guan Yuntian very interesting. Many people wanted to
He is famous and does not hesitate to spend money to seek media promotion. Guan Yuntian is just the opposite. Mainstream media came to interview him, but he refused. Is there such a person in the world?
However, the situation reported by the propaganda department also attracted the attention of County Magistrate Zhou. After all, the interview was an important part of cooperating with the county to publicize the poverty alleviation and prosperity project in the northern mountainous area. How could the county's political achievements not be publicized in a big way?
Therefore, County Magistrate Zhou called Deputy County Magistrate Liu and asked him to work for Guan Yuntian and accept interviews from mainstream media no matter what.
Deputy County Magistrate Liu has a similar personality to Guan Yuntian, and he also knows Guan Yuntian very well, so he understands Guan Yuntian's thoughts. A person who devotes himself to industry generally does not have much interest in these things. But the work arranged by the top leader, Deputy Liu
The county magistrate had to implement it. He called Guan Yuntian's mobile phone and said, "Mr. Guan, I am Lao Liu from the county."
"Hello, County Magistrate Liu! I haven't seen you for a while. What are your instructions?" Guan Yuntian always respected this expert official.
"Just now, County Magistrate Zhou called. In order to vigorously promote the poverty alleviation project in the northern mountainous area, he wanted you to be interviewed by the media."
"County Magistrate Liu, you know that I have refused media reports many times and do not want to appear in the media."
"I know this situation, but this time is different from the past. It is not only a matter of whether you are willing to be interviewed, but also related to the county's publicity of poverty alleviation work, so please cooperate. You know that I am concerned about these superficial things
I don’t take it seriously, but for certain purposes or needs, sometimes I have to do things against my will.” It seems that Deputy County Magistrate Liu is also in the world and can’t help himself!
Guan Yuntian didn't want to embarrass Deputy County Magistrate Liu, but he really didn't want to be interviewed. "County Magistrate Liu, do I have to come forward to be interviewed? Can you find someone to be interviewed on my behalf? I guarantee that he can speak better than me."
"You mean to ask other people from the Changda Group to be interviewed on your behalf?"
"Mr. Ye, the general manager of our group, is a returnee MBA. He once worked as an executive in Dow Chemical, a Fortune 500 company. He is well-informed and eloquent. Mr. Xu, the specific person in charge of the agricultural project in the northern mountainous area, is also a member of the Changda Group.
The administrative director of the company has worked as an administrative deputy director in a large state-owned enterprise for nearly ten years. He has seen a lot of big things in the world, and it is easy to deal with such a scene. I think it is good to let them come forward for interviews." Guan Yuntian said.
"I know there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Changda Group, but after all, you are the final decision-maker of the company. If you don't come forward, the media may not agree." Deputy County Magistrate Liu thought for a moment, "How about the three of you come forward to be interviewed together, what do you think?
How about it?"
Guan Yuntian could no longer refuse, otherwise it would make Deputy County Magistrate Liu very embarrassed, "County Magistrate Liu, I risk my life to accompany the gentleman! Well, let the two of them come forward with me. If there are any problems with the media, it's best to ask them to
They both asked questions."
A week later, under the arrangement of the Fuyuan County Propaganda Department, Changda Group Chairman Guan Yuntian, General Manager Ye Jiayi and Administrative Director Xu Jianmin accepted joint interviews with several mainstream media in Huayuan City and Fuyuan County.
During the interview, Guan Yuntian and three others emphasized from beginning to end the leading role of the county committee and county government in poverty alleviation work in the northern mountainous areas. While this attitude was affirmed by the mainstream media, it also left media reporters unsatisfied. The reporter from Huayuan Daily asked sharp questions
, a young female reporter known for her sharp tongue raised her hand and asked: "Mr. Guan, do you still remember me? We met at a press conference three years ago because Changda Group was established as the city's benchmark enterprise for environmental protection."
"I'm sorry, madam reporter, I really can't remember."
"It's normal for Mr. Guan to forget things a lot. I'm a current affairs reporter from Huayuan Daily. Just now you and the other two CEOs of your company talked about the county's leadership role in the process of poverty alleviation and development in the northern mountainous areas. May I ask your advice?
What is the role of Da Group?" This female reporter is indeed straightforward and very personal.
Guan Yuntian thought for a while and replied simply: "Changda Group is the specific implementation unit of the agricultural development project in the northern mountainous area. Our role is to work."
"Mr. Guan, people say that agricultural projects, especially projects with a poverty alleviation nature, are difficult to make a profit. Did you make money or lose money on this project?" Questions related to corporate privacy can be raised.
, which shows that this reporter’s reputation is well-deserved.
Such questions are difficult to answer. If you say that the project is losing money, she will then ask, "Losing money and making money, what are you trying to do?" If you say that the project is making money, she will say that you are making money on poverty alleviation projects. How can you bear it?
?
In fact, Guan Yuntian recognized this beautiful reporter at the beginning of the press conference. Thinking of the press conference three years ago, Guan Yuntian didn't have a good impression of her. They met again today, and Guan Yuntian deliberately pretended not to recognize her.
.
Faced with this gossip-like question, Guan Yuntian asked: "Excuse me, this reporter, do you think Changda Group should make money or lose money during the implementation of the project?"
The other party did not expect that Guan Yuntian would attack her in turn. He was caught off guard and said with a blushing face: "Mr. Guan, how do I know whether Changda Group will make money during the implementation of the project? If you think my question is difficult to answer,
, you don’t have to answer.”
"Ms. Reporter, there is nothing difficult to answer in your question. It just involves corporate privacy and we don't want to answer it. Since you are so interested in this aspect, I can tell you that it is indeed difficult to make a profit on agricultural projects. This is also
The main reason why many companies are reluctant to get involved, but through scientific management and careful organization, the project can be operated at a low profit, and the profit earned is enough to maintain the continued operation of the project. I wonder if my answer satisfies you?"
A reporter from another media asked: "We know that Changda Group is an industrial enterprise engaged in traditional manufacturing. Was your decision to get involved in poverty alleviation and development in the northern mountainous area driven by feelings of family and country? A young entrepreneur like Mr. Guan,
It’s admirable to have such a sense of responsibility.”
Guan Yuntian smiled shyly, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm not afraid of your jokes. My level is not that high yet. This matter has nothing to do with the feelings of family and country. As for the spirit of responsibility, maybe there is a little bit, but that is not
The fundamental reason why we decided to get involved in this project. I like to tell the truth. The original intention of Changda Group to accept the agricultural development project in the northern mountainous area is to make money. We are a business, not a charity. It is natural to pursue profits, but in the project
