Chapter 152 The Contest at the Dinner

Attracting investment is the top priority of the Beijiang government's work right now.

At such a time, the fact that Secretary Li was sent to the front by Andinguo showed his core position as Andinguo's confidant and secret.

Don't think it's a small matter, it seems that he just went to the catering department to take care of some details, and then greeted the guests, but he can take care of everything, which just shows Andinguo's trust in him.

So as soon as Secretary Li finished his work, Wu Tao took him to the car at the door to chat.

Song Zhuang was smoking next to the car, not afraid that someone would dare to approach and eavesdrop.

"Secretary Li, what's the matter? The two calls today made me feel a sense of tension?"

As a confidant, Secretary Li naturally knows the relationship between Wu Tao and Andinguo, and knows that the young man in front of him is the kind of person who can tell everything and talk endlessly.

"Oh, your feeling is right. Although Deputy Mayor An has reached a new level, he is facing a new situation."

"Um?"

"...Although it is only the acting mayor, according to the usual practice, as long as there are no mistakes in that year, when it comes to the new term, the generation can basically be erased and the transition will be smooth. So this position will definitely be the first!"

Wu Tao couldn't help scratching his head. He has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he can't be as proficient and clear about the Taoism in the officialdom as he is in his studies.

"Secretary Li, just get straight to the point." Wu Tao interrupted decisively.

Secretary Li took a deep breath and said, "The point is, whoever can make greater achievements in attracting investment will get more bargaining chips."

"Does the labor export training project count? How is it going?"

"The channel has been established, but after all, the time is short, and the benefits and influence have not yet been produced."

"That's right!" Wu Tao nodded, "Then how is the introduction of the project in the small commodity economy going?"

"This project..." Secretary Li frowned, "It has been questioned a lot, and Deputy Mayor An has also had concerns recently."

"Oh?" Wu Tao couldn't help laughing. He couldn't be more confident in such a project that has been proven to be effective in his previous life.

Secretary Li continued: "Most of the self-employed in Beijiang are now doing small things in market towns. After all, their financial resources are limited. Many people worry that the shops they build will not be sold."

"It's not easy? The government guarantees and provides policy loans!"

"Deputy Mayor An has also thought of this, because he is afraid that if it is not done, the state-owned assets will be lost, and the responsibility is heavy!"

Wu Tao smiled lightly, "Secretary Li, you go back and tell Uncle An about this, so that he can do it without worry. If the store can't be sold, I'll buy it!"

Secretary Li, who is only 30 years old, was also refreshed by Wu Tao's all-encompassing words.

This is how much courage and financial resources ah!

In fact, Wu Tao was secretly snickering in his heart, taking care of everything by himself, of course he didn't want to be taken advantage of.

In the previous life, when this type of store was first listed, it was indeed not selling well.

Because many people are waiting and watching, and they dare not take too big a step to get a loan.

In their traditional concepts, they are afraid of living a life of carrying loans, and always feel that carrying loans is like a bonded laborer in the old society.

But in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the prices of shops in the small commodity market have doubled!

Many people yelled that they regretted not talking about it, and had to grit their teeth and buy it at double the price.

Because even if you buy it at this price, it is still profitable.

After talking about this matter, Wu Tao's thoughts returned to the matter in front of him.

"So, this time, whether it's Uncle An or Deputy Secretary Liu, they are all counting on some capital from my relatives to start a political achievement project?"

Secretary Li sneered and said, "Now that attracting investment is such an important position, you have to understand Deputy Mayor An."

"I don't blame Uncle An, it's all right, Secretary Li, I know about this. If you have any questions in the future, you have to ask Secretary Li to ask more questions!"

"If there is anything, you can call me directly."

For the dinner in the evening, Uncle Biao and his family were all present.

On the side of the city leaders, in addition to Andinguo and Secretary Li, there is also Director Dou of the reception office.

Wu Tao will accompany you.

He had gotten through with Wu Tao earlier, so Shi Zhiwu didn't hide it, and said bluntly that the local people expressed their willingness to return home to invest. But what exactly it is is still up for debate.

Having said that, the dinner was immediately enjoyable.

As for the project, we can talk about it later.

After this meal, there is another one.

Although Wu Tao agreed to both dinners, they had to be treated differently in terms of form.

So at the dinner at noon the next day, only the Shi family brothers attended.

The city leaders have the same equipment as last night, Deputy Secretary Liu, Secretary Gao, and a Deputy Secretary-General named Cheng.

As for the companions, besides Wu Tao, Ma Guochao also squeezed into the table.

This is somewhat embarrassing.

But seeing Ma Guochao's smiling face without any concern, Wu Tao was relieved again.

It seems that I still have to practice, facing this group of veterans in the officialdom, I am almost at the level of just graduating from kindergarten.

Regarding this meal, Shi Zhiwu had reservations from beginning to end, even though Deputy Secretary Liu promised many practical benefits.

However, the food and drink are always welcome, and the two sides can still eat, drink, and chat.

But we can't go on talking, we can't talk hard.

So Deputy Secretary-General Cheng seemed to change the topic abruptly in order to save the day, and asked Wu Tao.

"Recently, someone in the city proposed to introduce a small commodity economy project, to establish a one-stop service network of supply channels, wholesale, and store retail. I always feel that it is too unreliable for those individualized to buy stores at high prices to do business. Small Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Tao was also a little astonished. He put down his chopsticks and saw Deputy Secretary Liu staring at him meaningfully.

It seems that the problem is not that simple.

So Shi Shiran said: "Secretary Cheng, on the contrary, I am quite optimistic about this matter."

"But now Beijiang's per capita GDP is less than two thousand yuan. A store costs at least tens of thousands of yuan, which is not equal at all. The spare money in the hands of ordinary people cannot support such a large investment."

"As long as there are enough interests, this is not a problem." Although Wu Tao only pointed to the end, his attitude was clear-cut.

After speaking, without waiting for Deputy Secretary-General Cheng to continue asking, he immediately asked a question and changed the subject.

"Secretary Liu, you just said that as long as my uncle is willing to return to his hometown to invest, you will strongly support any project. I heard that this move will attract capital and restructure. If my uncle invests here, is it okay?"

Yesterday's third update was added.
