Chapter 97 The Sole Donor
Guan Yuntian was puzzled by what Mayor Zhao said, "The opening ceremony will be handled by the township, we don't care, the cost has nothing to do with us!"
"Mr. Guan, the township's finances are tight and we really can't afford this funding."
"After talking for a long time, your purpose is to let us pay this money?"
"Isn't there tens of thousands of yuan left in the budget for road construction? Mr. Guan, do you think you can use part of the remaining funds to hold the opening ceremony?"
"Why, there is still a balance in the road construction budget?" Guan Yuntian didn't know.
"Don't you know yet? Maybe they haven't had time to report it to you."
"Oh, there is a surplus of funds. It seems that the construction management is not bad. There is a surplus in the budget, but the township has no money, and it still wants to hold a ceremony for the opening of traffic. It is logical to use the remaining funds to hold the ceremony! I have to say I disagree,
It seems that I am so unkind, Mayor Zhao, don't you think so?" Guan Yuntian said with a smile.
"Mr. Guan, if you really don't want to pay this money, then we have to find another way." It can be seen that Lao Zhao is also a little embarrassed.
Guan Yuntian is not unwilling to pay this money. He has spent hundreds of thousands, and it is impossible for him to care about the thirty-two thousand. "Head Zhao, don't worry, since holding the opening ceremony is good for the village."
, then let’s do it, doesn’t it just cost money? There happens to be a surplus in the budget for road construction, so the money will come from there.”
After receiving Guan Yuntian's personal promise, Mayor Zhao left with satisfaction.
During the preparation process for the opening ceremony, the villagers followed Guan Yuntian's opinions many times. As long as it did not involve himself and Guan Yuntian did not express any opinions, he would not bother to meddle in such nosy matters.
Guan Yuntian specially told the villagers that the leader's speech only emphasized the importance of this road to Jinzhai Township and tried not to mention his role in the road construction process. During Guan Yuntian's speech, he only downplayed the importance of Chang.
I would like to congratulate the smooth opening of the road in the name of Da Group Company, and do not pretend to be the sole donor of the road at all.
Guan Yuntian originally did not plan to attend the luncheon after the ceremony. After being repeatedly persuaded by the main leaders in the township to stay, he felt that leaving was a bit unfair in terms of face, so he stayed and sat with some leaders from the county.
.
Jinzhai Township is a remote and barren township. With this opening ceremony, the township specially made a report to the county government, similar to a poverty alleviation application. In order to expand the popularity of Jinzhai Township, the county government instructed relevant departments to cooperate. Therefore, please hold the opening ceremony.
Here came the deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture in the county, the director of the county office, the director of transportation, the director of highways, the director of agriculture, the director of township enterprises, and so on.
I originally wanted to arrange this meal at a restaurant in Jinzhai Township. Guan Yuntian felt that it would cost money everywhere, but he could save a little bit at a small restaurant in the township, while the cost of going to a hotel in the county town would be higher.
However, let's make peace with it now that it's here. Since we've invited the leaders of the relevant departments, we might as well do it a little more decently.
Guan Yuntian roughly estimated that arranging lunch in a hotel in the county would cost at most three thousand yuan more than in a small restaurant in the countryside. The budget for this opening ceremony was close to forty thousand. As long as the matter could be done more successfully, Guan Yuntian thought it would be more.
It's worth spending three to two thousand.
Deputy County Magistrate Liu, who was in charge of agriculture, took the initiative to sit at the same table with Guan Yuntian. In fact, Guan Yuntian was not familiar with the leaders from these functional departments in the county, because Changda Group had never had any contact with these functional departments from the beginning until now.
Many of them heard about it for the first time today, and of course it was the first time they met.
Secretary Zhang from the township was a little bit troubled by the seating arrangement. “County Magistrate Liu, why don’t the people from the county sit at the same table?
If you sit at one table, others will be assigned another table?"
"They are all guests. Didn't you arrange it this way to differentiate between different levels? It looks so ugly." Deputy County Magistrate Liu said.
"What do you mean, do you still want to disrupt the mixed sitting?"
"I don't think it's appropriate to separate. Let's not do this. I'll accompany one table, and you and Mayor Zhao will each accompany one table. We'll visit each other on the way. Let Mr. Guan stay with me." Deputy County Magistrate Liu suggested.
Since the leader called the roll, Guan Yuntian had nothing to say, so let's sit down at the table with Deputy County Magistrate Liu. He took the initiative to sit down in the deputy seat.
Seeing this, Deputy County Magistrate Liu said: "Mr. Guan, I invite you to sit here."
"County Magistrate Liu, the seat next to you is the guest of honor. I am also the host today. Please let me sit opposite you and accompany you as the deputy host." This is true, because the lunch money is
It is from Guan Yuntian.
"Let's put this aside for now. If you don't come and take the seat of the main guest, other people are not qualified to sit here!" Deputy County Magistrate Liu said.
"The directors here are all guests invited by the township. Everyone is qualified to sit there. If it is difficult to arrange according to official positions, I suggest that they be sorted by age, with the oldest sitting in the guest of honor position, and so on. I am the host.
, just serve everyone in the position of deputy chief companion." Guan Yuntian said.
"Mr. Guan's words are wrong! Everyone here, including me, would like to thank you for your support of the place and your hometown, because you are a guest of all of us. In this sense, only you are qualified to sit here.
"
"Mr. Guan, please sit down quickly!" Others at the table advised in unison.
If Guan Yuntian didn't go to the guest of honor seat, other people wouldn't be able to sit down. Seeing such a formation, he had to say: "The leaders are so polite. Well, respect is worse than obeying orders."
The wine party started, and Deputy County Magistrate Liu took the lead in raising a glass, "Today is the opening ceremony of the rural road in Jinzhai Township. For the first glass of wine, I propose to pay tribute to Mr. Guan, the only donor of the road and the chairman of the largest private enterprise in our city.
!Thanks for his selfless support for the construction of his hometown!"
Later, Deputy County Magistrate Liu raised his glass again, "Second glass of wine, let's toast together for our first acquaintance with the owner of the largest private enterprise in Huayuan City!"
At the wine table, among the officials present, Deputy County Magistrate Liu had the highest official position. It was impossible for him to toast other people with lower official positions. Therefore, after finishing the first glass of wine, everyone broke the routine and entered the free activity period in advance.
Deputy County Magistrate Liu wanted to toast Guan Yuntian alone. Guan Yuntian immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "This is impossible! Magistrate Liu, I'll toast you. Thank you for coming!"
"Mr. Guan, it's me who should say thank you, it's our government. Jinzhai Township is located in a remote area and is the slowest developing township in the county. In fact, there are very good natural resources there. As you know, Jinzhai Township is rich in peanuts.
and walnuts and other cash crops. The villagers still have the tradition of growing vegetables. However, for a long time, due to the remoteness of the terrain, inconvenient transportation, and difficult roads, people outside were unwilling to go in and people inside were unwilling to come out. The economy there has never been very big.
Improvement. This time the roads are repaired and the transportation is convenient, which is beneficial to the development of the entire township. As the county magistrate in charge of agriculture, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!" County Magistrate Liu said.
"What County Magistrate Liu said is absolutely true. Jinzhai Township actually has the internal conditions for development. The slow development in recent years is indeed related to the geographical location and inconvenient transportation. I didn't think that far into the original intention of building this road.
Every time I went back to my hometown, I felt that the roads were not easy to navigate. With the care of the village leaders, I decided to invest some money to build the roads so that everyone could travel more conveniently. Of course, if the roads are easy to navigate, it would be a good thing for the local people.
If economic development can promote economic development, that would be great!" Guan Yuntian said.
"Mr. Guan, your company is so big, are all of your businesses involved in industrial projects?"
"Well, so far, several of the company's products are all industrial projects."
"I wonder if you are interested in agriculture-related projects in the future?" As expected of the deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture, he never strays from his profession.
"Agriculture-related projects? County Magistrate Liu, even though I grew up in a rural area, I really have no idea about the agriculture-related projects you are talking about. Is it just a grain processing plant or something like that?" As he spoke, Guan Yuntian raised a glass to Deputy County Liu.
long.
"In the past few years, we have traveled a lot to visit and study, so we have seen a bit of the world. The grain processing you mentioned can only be considered a primary agricultural project. Let me give you an example of using peanuts or soybeans to produce edible oil. This is a relatively advanced project.
Agricultural projects can also expand the scale of enterprises to a large scale."
"Oh, yes, that's a good idea. Thank you County Magistrate Liu for reminding me that you can consider this direction for future inspection projects." For this point, Guan Yuntian thanked Deputy County Magistrate Liu from the bottom of his heart.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. I am in charge of agriculture. Naturally, I think more about the development of rural areas. But I think if enterprises invest some energy in this aspect, the market and return on investment will not be bad."
"It makes sense! County Magistrate Liu, we didn't pay attention to this aspect before because we didn't know anything about it. After your reminder, I think this is one of the main directions for the company's future expansion. I will arrange it when I go back."
Relevant departments conduct market research."
"Mr. Guan, this is just my suggestion. I don't understand business management, so what I say may not be appropriate." Deputy County Magistrate Liu is self-aware.
"Mr. Liu, your suggestion is very meaningful. At least it provides us with a new way of thinking about the problem. If we really want to develop in this direction in the future, we may need to consult you or ask for advice. Don't refuse then.
!”
"It is not appropriate to ask for advice. As the most powerful local enterprise, if you can find a better way out for Fuyuan County's cash crops, our county's social economy will develop in a more coordinated way."
"Don't worry, as long as we get it right, we will implement it unswervingly. County Magistrate Liu, you are in charge of agriculture in the county. I would like to mention someone. Do you know me well?"
"Who? Tell me."
"The current director of Fuyuan Flour Mill, Lin Xueming."
"Old Lin? He and I worked together for two years. At that time, we were both deputy directors of the County Agricultural Bureau. Not long after I was transferred from the Agricultural Bureau, it was said that he was transferred to the flour mill as the director. Why,
Do you know him?"
"His daughter and I used to be colleagues." Because he didn't know what his relationship was with Lao Lin, Guan Yuntian stopped talking and couldn't say too much.
"Oh, that's it. Lao Lin has a good reputation in the political circles of Fuyuan County. Although he has left politics for more than ten years, when he is mentioned now, many people have a good impression." At that time, he was the deputy director of the Agriculture Bureau, Deputy Liu
The county magistrate and Lin Xueming respected each other at that time and had no conflict of interest.
At this time, Secretary Zhang and Mayor Zhao from the township came to visit with cups in their hands and said, "County Chief Liu, the guests at those two tables invite you to come over."
"Okay, let's exchange. Mr. Guan, I'll go over there and have a look."
"County Magistrate Liu, please!" Guan Yuntian stood up to see him off.
The two township leaders wanted to toast again. Guan Yuntian suggested: "We have almost finished the wine. It is rare for us to get together. It would be great to chat with each other!"
Chapter completed!
