Seeing everyone suggesting to bypass Ji Yang and contact investors directly from the city, Yang Bo felt uneasy. However, seeing everyone so confident, he knew he couldn’t oppose at that moment, as he was not in the majority there.
"Comrades, isn’t it inappropriate to bypass Mr. Ji Yang ?" Wang Shuimin, who had dealt with Ji Yang several times, felt that Ji Yang was not easy to manipulate and expressed his concerns.
"Minister Wang, the overall situation must be prioritized. We can discuss it with Mr. Ji Yang. If he can bring those investments to the development zone, let him preside over the work there," Li Guobing urgently wanted to secure benefits. If he could succeed, it would enhance his political achievements.
Wang Shuimin said, "I still hold reservations about this. Chunshui County is also an impoverished county. They need the investments as well." Wang Shuimin had an intuition that they might end up at a disadvantage in this deal.
Yang Bo glanced at Wang Shuimin and said nothing; he knew Wang was a resolute person.
"Let’s all vote on this matter," said Yang Bo.
Soon, the majority agreed to the proposal that the city directly negotiate with the investors.
"Secretary Yang, the main issue with Chunshui County is their limited perspective. There’s a Southeast Asia investment conference organized by the province soon. Why not send him along to spend some time in the provincial city?" Gao Minghui suggested.
Zhang Aimin said, "This is also important for the city to focus on. It’s good for Ji to broaden his experiences. He can go with me."
It was clear to everyone; sending Ji Yang away meant the city could directly approach the investors about investing in the development zone.
Yang Bo nodded slightly, "The Southeast Asia conference organized by the province offers many new opportunities. Mr. Ji Yang is young and needs to broaden his horizons and free his mind. He should go; he’s already here in the city, so he can come along."
"What about the work in Chunshui County?" Qiu Rongli asked.
"It’s just a county’s work, not too significant. The county can’t cease to function without a Party Secretary. If that were the case, the leadership would be deemed unfit," Li Guobing asserted.
Everyone nodded slightly, feeling that this logic was not flawed.
"Alright, Vice Mayor Gao will personally go to Chunshui County to discuss with the investors, and Comrade Aimin will lead the team to the provincial city," said Yang Bo.
In the subsequent discussion, they delved into potential preferential policies needed by the investors. Whatever it took, they were determined to bring these investments to the development zone.
"If a sudden investment of three billion comes in, continuing with the current leadership team would be inappropriate," Gao Minghui remarked.
"Indeed," said Li Guobing. "We all know the state of the current team at the development zone. It would be tough for them to handle tens of billions worth of investments. My suggestion is to have the leaders from the city committee personally supervise to ensure the investment goes smoothly and stimulates the overall economic and social development of the city."
Hearing this, no one raised objections; it would be beneficial for everyone.
Gradually, the atmosphere of the meeting improved. Latest content published on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
