34: Chapter 34 Investment Promotion

Sun Ning was a classic case of someone who had just tasted meat and naturally wanted more.

He was just afraid that Shang Rou wouldn't let him into bed at night.

In fact, Sun Ning's loss of composure with Zhao Xue just now wasn't solely because of her initiative.

Rather, it was because he couldn't control the restlessness within his heart.

It seemed that ever since he was bitten by an unknown little bug in junior high, his vitality had been extremely vigorous.

Once he encountered someone he liked, it was very difficult to control his desires.

This was the experience he had gained after being with Shang Rou.

It was also the underlying reason why Shang Rou sometimes wanted to let him "snack" on the side.

After arranging the work for Deep Blue Food, the group of three left the Yubo Building.

He also planned to host a banquet for Gao Feng that evening, the main purpose of which was to ensure that the money he had brought from the capital would smoothly reach the accounts of Mishui Township.

Although he had Secretary Xue Hongtao's guarantee on this matter, he was still a bit uneasy.

What if this stubborn old man didn't go to his former leader, but instead relied on his own residual influence to get things done?

If that happened, wouldn't Sun Ning be wronged?

And wouldn't those 9.3 million in earmarked education funds be wronged as well?

That evening, in a private room near the Municipal Government, the four of them were chatting away lively.

When Sun Ning asked him to help keep an eye on those funds, Gao Feng readily agreed.

It was only a few million; not worth a provincial capital city making a big fuss over.

The reason some of it had been withheld was simply a matter of habit.

Furthermore, Gao Feng patted his chest and promised that the Municipal Government would also allocate two million yuan to support education in impoverished areas.

Two million was a drop in the bucket for Zhongzhou, and Gao Feng, as the Executive Vice Mayor, could easily handle it.

Moreover, this amount wasn't too shabby, considering the Poverty Alleviation Office had only approved a little over four million.

In the end, both host and guests were delighted!

The next day, Sun Ning woke up alone in the presidential suite of the Zhongzhou Yuda International Trade Hotel.

Honestly speaking, this was his first time staying in a presidential suite, which really opened the eyes of this country bumpkin.

The reason he stayed in the presidential suite was that Zhao Xue didn't want to stay in a single large bed room by herself.

And Shang Rou didn't want to miss out on these beautiful nights.

So, the clever Zhao Xue came up with the idea of a presidential suite.

Consequently, Shang Rou became the busiest person, running from one room to another like a thief.

Sun Ning checked the time; it was past six in the morning.

Under normal circumstances, the little old man, Secretary Xue Hongtao, would have been awake long ago.

Sun Ning dialed the number directly.

"Hello, Party Secretary, it's me!"

"I have something to report to you. Deep Blue Food from Hong Kong is preparing to invest and build a factory in the mainland, and they will arrive at our Mishui Township this morning."

"Yes, I will report the specific details to you in person when I return."

Sun Ning spoke a few brief words on the phone and then hung up.

He could hear the excitement from Secretary Xue Hongtao on the other end of the line, and he kept urging Sun Ning to treat the investors well.

Since Mishui Township opened up, no businessman from Hong Kong had ever visited.

The fact that Sun Ning brought back an investor from Hong Kong on his first trip out clearly meant he had spent some favors.

Therefore, Secretary Xue Hongtao was quite confident about this investment.

At eight in the morning, the Deep Blue Food motorcade arrived on time at the entrance of the hotel where Sun Ning was staying.

The lead car was a Land Rover, followed by a minibus containing General Manager Li Tao and some professional technical personnel.

The appearance of this Land Rover gave Sun Ning a sense of a "big boss" vibe.

Seeing Sun Ning staring at the new car, Shang Rou giggled and said, "How about it? Isn't it super imposing? I have good taste, right?"

Sun Ning hadn't expected Shang Rou to be so trendy.

Land Rover had only recently entered China, and she had already bought a new one.

However, whenever Sun Ning saw this car, he couldn't help but feel like Shang Rou was an earthwork contractor.

This made him involuntarily break out in goosebumps.

Sun Ning didn't want to dampen Shang Rou's enthusiasm, so he replied somewhat perfunctorily, "Yes, my beautiful Senior Sister is amazing."

"This is for climbing mountains."

Shang Rou explained briefly and then started the car.

So this car was just for running to Mishui Township to meet her lover.

At nine-thirty in the morning, the two cars arrived at Mishui Township on time.

Looking out the window at the noticeably cleaner streets, Sun Ning felt much better.

He secretly made up his mind that once the finances were a bit more relaxed, he would get a handle on the township's sanitation.

Arriving at the Township Government courtyard, a banner was hung in the center of the gate.

It read: "Welcome to the leaders of Hong Kong Deep Blue Food for their visit and inspection of Mishui Township."

Secretary Xue Hongtao was there with the leadership team, waiting expectantly.

After Sun Ning and the others got out of the car, they introduced each other.

When Secretary Xue Hongtao saw Shang Rou, he knew this investment was secure.

He had seen Shang Rou come to find Sun Ning last time, and their relationship clearly wasn't ordinary.

After some polite pleasantries, they entered the large conference room.

In fact, Mishui Township had no experience in investment promotion, so they didn't know where to start.

But Secretary Xue Hongtao knew that as long as this matter was handed to Sun Ning, it would definitely work out.

Therefore, he didn't show any intention of taking full control of the matter.

Instead, he let Sun Ning lead the charge.

Economic work was naturally a government responsibility, so letting Sun Ning handle it was reasonable and appropriate.

The meeting was actually very simple; Sun Ning just introduced some of Mishui Township's investment promotion policies.

This included land policies, tax policies, labor advantages, and transportation advantages.

In reality, this was all just talk; whether to invest or not was up to him anyway.

But on the surface, this process had to be followed.

In truth, Deep Blue's main purpose for coming here was technical guidance.

So, the meeting was very brief.

After Sun Ning introduced the situation of Mishui Township, Secretary Xue Hongtao summarized a few points, and the meeting was adjourned.

However, no one noticed that Li Jincai, sitting in the corner of the podium, had a very ugly expression on his face.

After the meeting ended, he returned to his office with a gloomy face.

After the meeting, Sun Ning didn't arrange for anyone to rest; he took them straight to eat.

The fact that Mishui Township didn't have a guesthouse was truly a bit embarrassing.

Investors had arrived, and there wasn't even a place for them to rest.

Sun Ning felt it was necessary to build a guesthouse.

He was very confident in the development of Mishui Township, so Mishui Township needed a hotel.

After the meal, he took the two Deputy Township Heads in charge of agriculture and industry, along with the people from Deep Blue, to inspect various places.

He already had an idea in mind regarding the site selection.

He planned to build a small industrial park five kilometers north of the Mishui Township living area, right next to the national highway.

Due to the terrain and topography, that area was not part of the basic farmland, so building there would not affect Mishui Township's grain production.

Furthermore, it was adjacent to the national highway, connected north to the expressway, and was relatively close to the provincial capital, Zhongzhou.

This was the result of his one and a half months of inspection.

As for the breeding farm, he planned to build it in the villages to the south.

In this way, the breeding farm and the food factory could cover the entire Mishui Township.

Since they didn't rest at noon, after Sun Ning and the group finished their tour, it was already past three in the afternoon when they returned to the Township Government.

Just after returning to the Township Government, the young lady Zhao Xue, feeling bored, dragged Shang Rou to go see where he lived.

She was very interested in the room that Shang Rou described as having "bare walls," and had long wanted to "take a look."

Meanwhile, the staff from Deep Blue Company were preparing to return to Zhongzhou under the leadership of General Manager Li Tao.

Their inspection trip had come to an end.

After the contract was signed, they would be stationed here long-term.

However, when they arrived at the Township Government, before they even had a chance to drink some water.

They saw Secretary Xue Hongtao, Li Jincai, and a few others walking over, surrounding a middle-aged man.

After seeing this person, Sun Ning narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint seemed to flash across them.
