1987: Sleepless Tonight

There are several deputy mayors in Jiangcheng City, and each deputy mayor is responsible for different work contents.

Some are responsible for the regular work of the municipal government, some are responsible for development and reform, finance, and taxation, some are responsible for ecological environment, transportation, some are responsible for public security, judicial work, and some are responsible for economic, Work such as investment promotion.

and many more.

Doing so naturally involves sharing the pressure. It is impossible for one person to handle everything well, so the work must be shared. But at the same time, it also has the effect of making power less concentrated and allowing for mutual checks and balances.

Yan Mingchang is responsible for work such as attracting investment.

Lu Hao's signing of the contract with KFC was also within the scope of his responsibilities, so his coming here this time was considered within the scope of his work.

"Good leader." Lu Hao was very respectful.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Yan Mingchang took the main seat.

The remaining seats are also seated according to their duties and importance.

As a cooperating party, Lu Hao sat closer to the front, right next to Yan Mingchang.

"First of all, on behalf of Jiangcheng, I welcome the arrival of Mr. Kevin and others. I also hope that Mr. Kevin can have a pleasant experience in Jiangcheng and that KFC can develop well in Jiangcheng." Yan Mingchang spoke, "Mr. Kevin The representative KFC cooperated with Boss Lu and signed a contract. This matter is a very important business event for Jiangcheng."

"Originally, this was a cooperation between foreign capital and private owners. The city did not contribute much and should not have participated in this signing event. However, because economic reforms are being carried out across the country, not only internal reforms are being carried out, but also political reforms are being carried out. Separate enterprises, decentralize power, adjust industrial layout, and improve enterprise efficiency."

"At the same time, foreign economic policies are also being reformed. They no longer strictly restrict the entry of foreign capital, but are opening up, actively seeking the entry of foreign capital, and actively cooperating with foreign capital."

"The city, with me as the representative, came to participate in this signing event to show the importance it attaches to foreign investment, and at the same time to further clarify the official position of Jiangcheng. Regarding foreign investment, Jiangcheng upholds a welcoming attitude and hopes that through land The boss has cooperated with Mr. Kevin, Wanjia Department Store’s renovated and expanded business premises, and KFC to set an example and clarify the official stance and attitude of Jiangcheng.”

Yan Mingchang stated his purpose of coming to attend this meeting.

These words were not only spoken to Kevin, but also to Lu Hao, further reassuring Lu Hao and not to have other ideas.

In fact, the city was very surprised from top to bottom about this cooperation. It was so sudden, like pie falling from the sky, and the time was relatively tight. There was no time to have other ideas. I just thought about it. To witness this cooperation, the scene of signing the contract should be photographed and used as material to promote Jiangcheng City and clarify Jiangcheng City's overall economic policies and stance.

Fang Bilong is translating Yan Mingchang's words into English for Kevin.

In fact, in this conference room, except for Kevin and a foreign legal professional, everyone else is Chinese. They all speak Chinese and can understand Yan Mingchang's words.

Kevin brought three legal personnel, one from the American side and two from the Chinese side.

If the legal provisions of both parties are clear, there will be no flaws in the contract. In order to ensure this, there must be legal personnel from both parties.

Moreover, Kevin himself is a foreigner, and he has a relatively clear understanding of the legal provisions of his own country, but he is not clear about the legal provisions of other countries, so the personnel are arranged in this way.

After Fang Bilong finished translating, Yan Mingchang looked at Lu Hao and continued, "Boss Lu, in this cooperation, you and Kevin are the protagonists, and I and others are supporting roles. However, the city will provide you with Assist, help from the side, don’t have any psychological baggage, just talk about whatever you want.”

"As long as the city needs to deal with it, as long as it can be provided, I am here to give you a promise that the city will definitely provide strong support and will be absolutely unambiguous."

"You can't just talk and don't do things, you have to have real money. Jiangcheng City must attract investment and provide various preferential policies to foreign investment. At the same time, it can boost the local economy, provide more jobs, and improve The city must provide strong help and support to people and companies that make local products competitive, and even those that can attract foreign investors."

He said this, but Yan Mingchang was actually very nervous in his heart.

It's not that they are unwilling to give Lu Hao preferential policies, including rent exemptions and tax exemptions, including helping Lu Hao, building roads outside the company under Lu Hao's name, improving auxiliary production and transportation facilities to facilitate the transportation and production of Lu Hao's products, etc. It's all no problem.

What he was nervous about was the contract.

There is no formal signature yet. If something goes wrong and the cooperation with KFC is not reached in the end, wouldn't it be like a chicken and a fly egg, a bamboo basket, and nothing in sight?

As the saying goes, only what you put in your pocket and eat in your mouth can make people feel at ease.

He wished that there would be no conversation now, no miscellaneous introductions, just sign the contract first, and the rest could be discussed later.

But there are many reporters around, taking photos and videos, and as the leader of Jiangcheng City, he can't be so impatient. He has to say something about the situation and policy direction, and use it as propaganda material. Moreover, he has to It is necessary to show that Jiangcheng City's attitude is open-minded and will not interfere with the development of individual bosses and the private economy, so as not to give people a bad impression of picking peaches and reaping benefits.

This is definitely detrimental to the economic development of Jiangcheng City.

Therefore, even though he was in a hurry, he still had to calm down and show an attitude of just watching and not interfering, and let Lu Hao talk to KFC on his own.

"With the attention and support of the city, Mayor Yan, and all leaders, I believe that my cooperation with KFC will be sustainable and both parties will get what they want." Lu Hao said, "To achieve a win-win situation, or even a triple win, Four wins.”

"The first win is that I can use the KFC brand to make money, the second win is that KFC can use me, use Jiangcheng, and use this cooperation to expand the scale and expand the market. The three wins are that the citizens of Jiangcheng City can have a try. Eating foreign food is a four-win situation, and the Jiangcheng City government can use this to show its sincerity, dispel investors’ concerns, and invigorate Jiangcheng’s business environment.”
