Chapter 25 Men's Tricks, Women's Seduction
Wu Zhiyuan solemnly promised: "Secretary Xu, I will make all the necessary arrangements to ensure that your wife and sister have a happy, comfortable, and worry-free time."
He knew that although this accompaniment was a private matter, it was yet another important test of his ability to handle affairs, his meticulousness, and his reliability by Xu Youwei.
If arranged well, it can further win trust; if something goes wrong, it will affect the foundation of Xu Youwei's trust in him.
Xu Youwei nodded: "Zhiyuan, I trust you to handle things."
In the afternoon, you will begin preparing research materials, as I will be meeting with a group of businesspeople next week.
The client is in the automotive battery business. Angyang has handled all the preliminary data preparation. You should coordinate with them and write a presentation about the development of the Economic Development Zone and its investment incentives.
Wu Zhiyuan quickly replied, "Yes, Secretary Xu. When is it ready by the latest?"
Xu Youwei said, "Let's try to do it before next Monday. Also, tomorrow we'll use the 'four no's and two direct' approach to conduct an unannounced inspection of Haihe County to see its economic development, public security, business environment, and the true state of affairs of the cadres and the masses."
Zhiyuan, are you familiar with the situation in Haihe County?
Wu Zhiyuan replied with a smile, "Secretary Xu, I forgot to tell you, my hometown is in Haihe."
Xu Youwei was somewhat surprised: "Isn't this a lucky accident? What are your parents doing?"
Wu Zhiyuan replied, "My father has been helping people raise fish and crabs for many years. The year before last, he partnered with a friend to contract a body of water and started raising them himself."
Xu Youwei asked with a smile, "How are the economic benefits?"
Wu Zhiyuan gave a vague answer: "The past few years haven't been very good, but so far this year, it's alright."
Wu Zhiyuan's financial difficulties in recent years are largely due to his father's business failures.
In the past few years, due to natural disasters, production and prices, we not only failed to make money, but also suffered losses of hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Last year, crab prices rose and production was good, but unexpected events occurred. Someone was stealing fish from an aquaculture farm at night, accidentally fell into the water and drowned, and ended up paying 800,000 yuan in compensation, making a year's work all for nothing.
Xu Youwei nodded and said, "To make money in the water, good weather alone is not enough; we also need to consider production and market conditions."
My parents were farmers. I did a lot of farm work when I was a child, including harvesting rice, transplanting seedlings, weeding, threshing, and winnowing. I was good at everything.
But farmers suffer; they depend on the weather for their livelihood and their own strength to make a living. They toil all year round, barely managing to fill their stomachs.
Wu Zhiyuan seemed to have found common ground: "Secretary Xu, I am also proficient in all kinds of farm work."
Farmers do have a tough life. They work hard all year round, braving wind and rain, hoping for a good harvest.
But sometimes, a natural disaster can wipe out a whole year's work.
Xu Youwei said solemnly: "Therefore, we must have genuine feelings for farmers and do practical things for them."
Any policy or project that ultimately fails to benefit the people will have its significance greatly diminished.
Haihe County is a major agricultural county. We're going there tomorrow, not only to look at economic data and urban development, but also to go deep into the fields, listen to what the farmers are thinking and hoping for, and see their real living conditions.
Wu Zhiyuan said emotionally, "Secretary Xu, I deeply understand what you are saying."
"I'll go with you on the research trip tomorrow. I'll definitely observe, listen, and take notes as much as possible to bring back the most authentic information."
In the afternoon, Wu Zhiyuan prepared research materials.
He called Ang Yang: "Ang Ke, Secretary Xu asked me to prepare some materials on the development and investment policies of the Economic Development Zone. I heard that the preliminary materials are with you, and I would like to contact you to discuss them."
Unexpectedly, Ang Yang responded enthusiastically: "I will definitely cooperate fully with whatever Secretary Xu asks me to do."
I'll organize the materials and send them to you via the internal email later.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhiyuan felt something was amiss.
According to Lang Wenping, Ang Yang was narrow-minded and vengeful, and harbored resentment because he believed that Wu Zhiyuan had taken away his position as the municipal party committee secretary.
Would he provide the materials without reservation? Wu Zhiyuan wondered.
One should always be wary of others.
We should be wary of people like Ang Yang.
A dozen minutes later, Angyang called: "Secretary Wu, the information has been sent via the intranet email."
From the overview of the Economic Development Zone, its infrastructure, and industrial layout, to the latest preferential policies for investment, tax reduction and exemption details, and the city's key industry support catalog, everything is readily available.
With a little polishing and integration, you can create a first draft without any problems.
Wu Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much, Encore. You've gone to so much trouble."
The materials presented were comprehensive, but Wu Zhiyuan neither wanted nor dared to simply copy them; he carefully verified each and every word.
Upon checking, a major problem was indeed discovered!
First, the corporate income tax "two-year exemption and three-year half-reduction" preferential policy has a strict scope of application according to Longcheng City's "Several Policy Opinions on Promoting Industrial Agglomeration and Upgrading". Enterprises' investment intensity and technological content must also meet specific standards and be jointly certified by relevant provincial departments.
The automotive battery industry is not even included in the applicable catalog. If it is included in the materials as Yang Yang claims, and Xu Youwei personally makes a promise to the businessmen, it will be impossible to fulfill the promise, which will directly lead to the government losing credibility.
Also, regarding policies supporting industrial development.
The impressive documents listed a series of attractive subsidy amounts and matching fund ratios, suggesting unprecedented support.
However, Wu Zhiyuan compared the implementation details of the "Management Measures for Municipal Industrial Development Special Funds" jointly issued by the Municipal Finance Bureau and the Development and Reform Commission and found that the application process for these subsidies was extremely complicated, requiring review by multiple departments, and the final amount was far less than what Ang Yang wrote. Moreover, many of them were "post-event subsidies" rather than "pre-event subsidies" with stringent conditions.
The information presented by Ang Yang clearly exaggerates the facts and is seriously misleading.
Wu Zhiyuan broke out in a cold sweat.
These errors cannot be explained by carelessness; they are clearly carefully designed traps, with some content intentionally added and modified.
If he relied on this information to write a document and submitted it to Xu Youwei for investment negotiations, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At best, it would make a huge fool of themselves, causing Longcheng and Secretary Xu to lose face.
In severe cases, it may be regarded as fraud by customers, leading to legal disputes and seriously damaging the business environment.
Wu Zhiyuan contacted the municipal tax, development and reform commission, finance and other departments to carefully revise the materials to ensure that everything was in order.
Wu Zhiyuan worked overtime to complete the research materials.
It was already 11 p.m. when I got back to my rented room.
As I pushed open the door, a strong scent of perfume wafted into my nostrils.
Wu Zhiyuan was filled with doubt.
A familiar woman's voice came from the master bedroom: "Zhiyuan, you're back!"
It turned out to be his ex-girlfriend, Su Taohong, whom he had just broken up with!
Her voice was captivatingly charming.
The master bedroom was lit by an ambiguous pink bedside lamp.
Su Taohong leaned against the bed, completely naked except for a thin silk scarf that outlined her curvaceous figure.
Her skin had a delicate sheen, and her long legs were crossed.
Her captivating peach blossom eyes were full of affection and extremely provocative.
