Chapter 772: Chapter 728: eting Li Superman Again_1
Tianfu International Hotel
At this mont, it had already been decorated anew. Outside the hotel, colorful flags and various balloons waved, banners hung in mid-air.
At the hotel entrance, lines of hostesses in cheongsams, smiling from ear to ear, stood ready to welco guests from all directions.
Every few minutes, another car would pull up. rcedes, BMWs, even Bentleys. At this mont, at the hotel entrance, at every intersection, nurous traffic police officers were stationed. They were using their walkie-talkies on their shoulders to stay connected and report situations.
At eight-thirty in the morning, at the entrance of the provincial party committee and provincial governnt compound, Secretary Zeng Taiping, Governor Nie Zhenbang, and several other principal leaders of the provincial party committee’s cars lined up, parked under the office building.
As the motorcade started, Lu Qingyu, the Secretary-General of the provincial party committee, spoke: “Secretary, these two days, Nie Zhenbang locked himself in his own office. Besides receiving so bureau officials, he didn’t even accept the dinner invitation from Long Genghua. What’s Nie Zhenbang up to?”
Hearing Lu Qingyu’s words, Zeng Taiping just smiled calmly. He said: “Qingyu, philosophy tells us that we should see the essence through the appearance of any matter. Comrade Zhenbang, he’s quite skilled at this. Now, several people in the provincial party committee want to connect with him, don’t they?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyu seed to understand. He nodded and seeing Zeng Taiping closing his eyes to rest, he realized that the Secretary didn’t want to talk anymore.
The motorcade drove straight to the entrance of the Tianfu Grand Hotel. The delegation got out of the car and was promptly guided by the ceremonial ladies to the banquet hall of the Tianfu Grand Hotel.
Next, as a representative, Nie Zhenbang represented Bashu Province and Chairman Li Chaoren of Li Clan Group’s board of directors, signing and sealing the docunt.
Inside the hall, warm applause echoed, followed by the provincial party committee secretary delivering an enthusiastic speech as the eting guest. After that, it was the journalists’ Q&A ti. The whole ceremony was officially completed.
The delegation then proceeded to the small banquet hall of the Tianfu Hotel, where the Li Clan Group, as the host, held a banquet for the provincial party committee and governnt leaders.
At this mont, Li Chaoren had already co forward proactively, and before reaching Nie Zhenbang, he extended his hand and said: “Zhenbang, it’s been years since we last t. I never thought that we would et again in Bashu. Seeing you beco the governor of Bashu Province, I’m even more confident in the cooperation between our Li Clan Group and Bashu Province.”
Li Chaoren’s words left quite a few people dumbfounded. Li Chaoren, the richest person in Donggang, and a billionaire recognized internationally. In today’s market economy system, even central leaders look forward to entertaining and having sincere exchanges with him.
Now it seed, Li Chaoren was rather respectful to Governor Nie. This left the crowd sowhat puzzled.
Zeng Taiping was curious too. Admittedly, it was unlikely that Li Chaoren feared Nie Zhenbang. The Li Clan Group is a company in the Donggang Special Economic Zone, and its primary business is in Donggang and overseas. Even if Nie Zhenbang had a strong background, there was no reason for him to curry favour excessively. Moreover, Li Chaoren’s respect seed genuinely heartfelt, which baffled Zeng Taiping.
At this mont, with a slight smile, Nie Zhenbang said: “Mr. Li, you’re too kind. The matter of Liangxi Film City, has been a lifelong regret for because we never really cooperated. May I ask, how is the developnt of Liangxi Film City going now?”
In such a situation, Li Chaoren clearly understood that personal matters were irrelevant. Otherwise, it would inevitably give people a wrong impression. If the Li Clan Group’s investnt in Bashu was perceived as Governor Nie giving the green light, even if Bashu Province benefitted in reality, it could still be accused of being short-changed.
In light of this, as shrewd as Li Chao is, he naturally wouldn’t undertake such a thing. Following Nie Zhenbang’s the, Li Chao nodded with a smile: “Governor Nie, the Liangxi Film City, after years of construction and developnt, has now beco the largest film and TV shooting base in the country. Liangxi City has unparalleled conditions, which are the reasons why the Film City has developed so smoothly. Now, I can say, in Liangxi Film City, from the sea to the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, from the northern landscape to the southern jungle, from the grassland to the desert, from ancient to modern tis, any film and TV topics, any types, basically you can do one-stop location work once you enter the Liangxi Film City. Last year alone, the total output value of the entire Film City surpassed 10 billion. The film city itself also achieved an annual inco of 3 billion.”
When it ca to the matter of the Film City, Li Chao was not evasive at all. Liangxi Film City, this was Li Chao’s most proud investnt in recent years.
At this mont, Nie Zhenbang also replied with a smile: “It’s all fine as long as there is a profit. Only when the investors make a profit can the local area gain more benefits. Such a result is the most perfect. One-sided profit is not a successful investnt. If the enterprise is profitable but the locality is losing, the enterprise will encounter many troubles. If the locality is profitable but the enterprise is losing, this is not a long-term plan either. The current situation is the best. I hope that the Li Clan Group’s investnt in Bashu Province can also achieve a mutually beneficial outco. Only then will we have further room for cooperation.”
Nie Zhenbang did not throw these words out randomly, nor were they just empty platitudes. Since he started in politics, he has always carried out such practices. From the initial New Li City, to Liangxi, then to Wanghai City. Others see only Nie Zhenbang’s economic developnt, which yields significant results. However, these people pretty much overlook one thing, that every single business and entrepreneur that cooperates with Nie Zhenbang also earns a pot full of coins.
The others did not have much reaction to Nie Zhenbang’s words. But Li Chao deeply understood them, and laughed: “Correct, correct. Governor Nie’s words are very reasonable, mutual benefit and win-win situation, that’s successful business indeed.”
The luncheon held by the Li Clan Group was not very long. Given that everyone had to work in the afternoon, the provincial party committee leaders in the eting did not drink. After all, as the leaders of the provincial party committee, getting intoxicated during working hours would not reflect well when word gets around. This is one reason. The old saying goes that if the beam above is not straight, the one below will be crooked. If the local comrades follow suit, it would be difficult to bring things under control.
Consequently, the leaders of Tianfu City, Changhong City, and Huazhi City did not dare to ask for alcohol either.
By the end of the al, Zeng Taiping had already stood up. He was very polite to the super-rich Li Chao of the Li Clan Group. He extended his hand to shake Li Chao’s hand and said: “Mr. Li, on behalf of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Governnt, I warmly welco your visit. I am also very grateful for your generous hospitality. If you have free ti, please look around Bashu Province and walk around.”
Li Chao was very familiar with such social pleasantries, and smiled and said: “Secretary Zeng, you’re too polite. We are already in cooperation, aren’t we? I believe that as the Changhua Expressway project begins, our understanding of each other will deepen, and there will surely be opportunities for collaboration in the future.”
After Zeng Taiping’s party left, Li Chao turned his head to Nie Zhenbang: “Zhenbang, why don’t you sit in my room for a while? How does that sound?”
Li Chao’s party were naturally staying at the Tianfu Grand Hotel. The presidential suite on the top floor of the Tianfu Grand Hotel was Li Chao’s temporary residence.
Being the richest man in Donggang, Li Chao himself was very modest. But, sotis when traveling, so things are indeed necessary, which is related to the image of the Li Clan Group. For example, the presidential suite right now.
“Zhenbang, I can’t believe it. It’s been seven years since we last saw each other. You’ve now been transferred to Bashu Province and even beco its governor. This ti, if the Li Clan Group didn’t happen to have this investnt, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have taken the initiative to contact again.” Li Chao’s words sounded a bit reproachful.
This made Nie Zhenbang a bit embarrassed. Indeed, since entering Bashu Province, he didn’t plan to use any relationships or resources. The industries of Liu Kun, Zhao Xinglong and others are already large enough. Min Nong Group has covered many provinces in the country and has beco the largest at export group in the country, especially in the production of beef and mutton. Longhua Mining has also beco a well-known mining company internationally. Not only does it venture into the mining industry, but Zhao Xinglong is also involved in the Middle East oil industry through the connection of Nie Zhenbang. As for Wal-Mart Group, that doesn’t need saying.
This is all known to everyone. If I let these brothers follow into every place, it’s bound to cause other people’s fear and discontent. It was for this reason that Nie Zhenbang did not invite Li Chao and others.
With an embarrassed smile, he said: “Uncle Li, the developnt of the Li Clan Group has never been influenced by any external intervention. I believe that even without my cooperation, Uncle Li is also paying attention to the Western Region, right?”
Hearing this, Li Chao burst into loud laughter, then nodded and said: “The natural resources and human resources in the west are a major advantage. After this, I will definitely liaison with other industry friends to jointly inspect and invest in Bashu Province.”
This is the exchange between intelligent people, the dialogue between smart individuals. On such matters, there is simply no need to clearly state anything. Between the two sides, understanding this level of implication is enough. (
