Power and Wealth Chapter 1423: Mayor Dong made promises

Afternoon.

Around 3 pm.

County Party Committee, inside a small eting room.

Dong Xuebing complained about being financially tight for a long ti, finally beginning to reach out for support.

Jiang Fangfang took a sip of water, looked up, and said, "The Investnt Promotion Bureau has been neglected in recent years. Positions were not filled. I know that positions such as Deputy Bureau Chief and Office Director have been vacant for a long ti. There's only one Bureau Chief and a few staff mbers handling the work. If we want to improve performance, internal matters must be addressed first. Only then can the investnt promotion team have cohesion and combat effectiveness."

Pu An said, "I agree with Mayor Jiang's point of view."

Chu Peng paused and said, "I also agree. Four people are too few."

Jian Xiangrong also agreed, riding on the montum. The opinions of those affiliated with the Jiang faction were all heard.

"I disagree." Deputy Mayor Ci Boyang said, "The achievents of the Investnt Promotion Bureau are well known. The results in previous years were not outstanding. From what I know, there was a bit more investnt last year, but it was only a bit less than ten million. Now, the county is short of people and money. We faced difficulties everywhere. Difficulties cannot always be attributed to reasons. We have to find ways to solve them ourselves. Adding one more person ans additional expenses. A new staff ans more expenditures. The county recently launched a family quarters construction project. Now, it's already tight for funds."

Dong Xuebing and Zhang Wanshui had conflicts in the open, which was normal. However, Ci Boyang, as the Deputy Mayor of the county governnt, had always opposed Dong Xuebing in tandem with Mayor Jiang. Dong Xuebing had a low opinion of him and retorted, "Mayor Ci, you haven't distinguished the primary from the secondary. I am in charge of finance. You are not clearer than about the county's finances. It's precisely because the county is financially tight that we need to address the issues of the Investnt Promotion Bureau. Only by solving the problems of the Investnt Promotion Bureau can we unite combat effectiveness and fight well in the upcoming city investnt promotion eting this weekend, attract more investnts, and support the county's developnt. Increasing the county's tax revenue. If you think adding one more person ans more expenditure, then why not just dismiss all the staff in the health departnt at your disposal? We will save more money, and none of us will have a job. Let's just dismiss everyone in the departnts below. Then there will be no spending."

Ci Boyang was annoyed, "What kind of logic is this?"

"Look at that. Why are you getting so anxious? This is not my logic, Mayor Ci. It's your logic. I haven't said anything. I just interpreted and translated it according to your wishes." Dong Xuebing and Ci Boyang started quarreling again. This guy would pick a fight with anyone.

You guys can talk without feeling any pain.

If it's not your departnt, you think it's okay.

But I'm about to attend the investnt promotion eting. Can I not be in a hurry?

Everyone knew that the Investnt Promotion Bureau was a bit shabby. It had indeed been the largest county governnt departnt cut in recent years. After Dong Xuebing took over the post, the only departnt he could actively operate was the Investnt Promotion Bureau. If they weren't given so benefits, they couldn't work wholeheartedly. Where was there light for a horse to run if it couldn't eat grass? It seed that Secretary ng and Mayor Jiang intended to shift the focus of this year's work to the Investnt Promotion Bureau. So, support would certainly be given. Now, the question was how much to give.

Jiang Fangfang made a statent.

ng Rui had been silent.

For the next five minutes, Dong Xuebing and the officials from the ng faction argued noisily. Dong Xuebing was the only one speaking.

One response after another.

Another retort.

Dong Xuebing once again demonstrated his outstanding eloquence. Not only did he confuse Zhang Wanshui and Cheng Fuguang, but Dong Xuebing's words were also irritating. The whole eting room seed a bit chaotic and filled with gunpowder. In theory, this wasn't a big deal. Giving a job position to the Investnt Promotion Bureau wouldn't starve the county, and even if they succeeded in attracting investnt, everyone in the county would benefit. It was a good thing, but Dong Xuebing, a mber of the Jiang faction, proposed it. This involved factional struggles and was quite complex. It couldn't be resolved with a win-win situation.

Finally, ng Rui couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table to interrupt their argunt, "Stop arguing."

The scene gradually quieted down.

Everyone was waiting for Secretary ng to speak.

ng Rui glanced at Dong Xuebing, "Mayor Dong, if your Investnt Promotion Bureau lacks personnel, the county can provide you with people. If you lack positions, the county can also provide them. However, you need to deliver results. Forget about the past; we won't bring it up now. But in the future, after providing you with policy support, what results can you achieve?"

Dong Xuebing looked at him and asked, "What kind of results do you want?"

ng Rui said, "I've discussed it with Mayor Jiang. The county's finances cannot last through the year's second half. We must achieve so results in this investnt promotion eting. I just don't know if you have the confidence and capability."

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebing's attitude changed. "If you give us positions and personnel, we have the confidence to succeed in this investnt promotion eting."

ng Rui asked, "How much funding can you attract?"

Dong Xuebing replied, "What do you think is appropriate?"

"I want to hear your mission goals," ng Rui said.

Instead of imdiately stating how many tasks they could complete, Dong Xuebing boldly said, "I want a promotion quota for the Deputy Bureau Chief of the Investnt Promotion Bureau, an office director, a head of the Business Departnt, and a driver and a clerk. Of course, the promotion quota needs to be screened by the Organization Departnt. I'm just suggesting suitable candidates." Without waiting for the angry reactions of ng's faction officials, Dong Xuebing dropped a bombshell, "With this investnt promotion team, I am confident that we can attract at least fifty million in investnt in this etingno less."

Fifty million.

Are you out of your mind?

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Fangfang glanced at Dong Xuebing.

Pu An and Chu Peng kept signaling to Dong Xuebing.

However, Dong Xuebing didn't feel anything wrong. He naturally had to promise sothing to sweeten the deal, and fifty million was Dong Xuebing's most conservative estimate.

ng Rui also seed stunned by his bold statent. He looked at Dong Xuebing and said, "What if you fail to et the target?"

Dong Xuebing hesitantly replied, "Then you will see my resignation report next month. I will take full responsibility."

ng Rui stared at him and said, "I'll pretend I didn't hear that. The achievents you've made since coming to Zhen Shui County are well-known. There's no talk of resigning or not resigning. However, the county can support the policies you ntioned. Fifty million, alright. I hope you can lead the Investnt Promotion Bureau to complete this task."
