Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 314 Foreign Business Group

Qi Tongwei's approach is to suppress them immediately when he sees them breaking the rules. His own people would criticize them verbally and privately, and if it comes to outsiders, he might criticize them in front of others.

Especially when subordinates rely on their trust and challenge various bottom-line thinking, that situation must be curbed, and disrespecting leaders is one of the bottom lines.

Today they can rely on their good relationship with Qi Tongwei to disrespect the secretary of the street office and break the rules. But if they become a leader at Gao Yuliang's level, will they also ignore Qi Tongwei?

After all, Qi Tongwei knows that his social status is the result of his gains under the current rules within the system. Maintaining the rules of the entire system is also to maintain his own social status and personal interests.

After reading the documents brought by Hu Fangyuan, Qi Tongwei threw them directly on the table and waved his hand to signal Hu Fangyuan that he could leave.

Lu Qiang followed in.

"Director, Director Ding has an urgent matter to report. It's a last-minute notification. Can you let him cut in line?"

Qi Tongwei looked at the Rolex on his hand and then glanced at the calendar on the table.

This calendar is his schedule, which is accurate to the hour of each day. Qi Tongwei will write down important meetings and schedules on the calendar and hang it next to his desk to remind himself not to change the time.

Although some meetings don't have much content, if you don't attend they will offend your superiors, so they are naturally important and cannot be changed without authorization. Some itineraries also require you to accompany important guests and cannot be changed.

But other matters, such as Hu Fangyuan's work report just now, can be changed at any time. Ask them to come back tomorrow or at a different time. These are the leaders' privileges.

Therefore, when Ding Jian said he wanted to temporarily jump in and report on his work, he had to look at the schedule. He didn't know in advance how much time he might take. As for the matter of investment promotion, sometimes it was not something that the leaders could decide at will.

After taking a look and confirming that there were no important meetings in the morning and no need to receive leaders, Qi Tongwei waved his hand to signal him to cut in line. As for whether the other people queuing at the door had any objections, that was Ding Jian's own business.

Ding Jian came in holding a pile of documents.

"Director, I have something I want to report to you in person."

Qi Tongwei also took the initiative to sit on the sofa and motioned Ding Jian to sit there to show his closeness to him.

"Sit down first, have a cup of tea, and wipe your sweat. Look at you, you are the director, but you are still so impatient.

It's only August, autumn hasn't arrived yet, and you're wearing a suit. You won't die of heat."

Although he was joking, Qi Tongwei knew that no one would wear a suit in such hot weather, unless there was a business reception requirement. Domestic entrepreneurs do not have such requirements now, so the answer is obvious: it is the foreign investors.

In fact, many foreign countries have come to invest and build factories during this period, some of which were directly assigned by the province. In the past, the district just served as a background board, standing behind and nodding, cleaning up the mess of the provincial leaders' random decisions.

Part of it was brought here by the city, which is the largest part. The city's Investment Promotion Bureau always likes to bring some low-end industries to the high-tech zone. Fortunately, Jin Xinkai is stubborn and once he sees that the industry does not meet the requirements, he will refuse it no matter how good the other conditions are.

Qi Tongwei is not so bold as to bluntly reject the foreign investors introduced by the city. Looking at Ding Jian's appearance, he knows that it must be foreign investors coming. He can't make a decision himself, so he goes to Qi Tongwei.

"Director, do you still remember a project that Xie Wu, the former director of the Merchants Bureau, followed up on? His memo said that he had reported it to you. It was an auto parts company in the Chicago area of ​​America."

Qi Tongwei nodded, indicating that he still remembered.

"What happened? The conditions proposed by that company were quite harsh. They wanted so much land with just a plan and how long they wanted the tax exemption to last. I rejected it outright.

I guess we lost contact afterwards.”

Ding Jian really treasured it this time.

"They are here again, this time with a delegation led by Chicago district councilman, Cassidio."

When Qi Tongwei heard this name, he finally reacted. The company that was talked about before was not well-known at all, and its reputation in the industry was average, and its development potential was also average. It was just bragging and wanted some preferential policies, so he just refused it.

But this district councilman, Cassidio, may not be well-known now. He is just a Chicago city councilman. I heard he has Chinese ancestry and is very young.

But ten or twenty years later, this name became very famous. Many media outlets called him the boss of the shadow government and the axis of conspiracy in Washington. He was said to be the core representative of the Chicago consortium.

Ten years later, he had become one of the senators from Illinois and a very powerful figure in the United States. Many cases of suicide were said to be related to his influence.

Three investigative reporters died in a row while investigating his criminal beginnings. Qi Tongwei had read the reports and judged from his experience that this man really did start out by criminal means. It was said that he laundered money for a criminal group, and then gradually whitewashed and expanded his wealth to become the spokesperson for the consortium. He was investigated several times, and even when he was about to be implicated, Congress amended the law. This move almost confirmed his reputation as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Anyway, this person has always been in the Senate and has been relatively low-key in the political arena. Because there are too many negative news about him, he has never been able to run for president, but his influence is still huge.

Therefore, when Qi Tongwei heard this name, he was really shocked. However, it was only 95, and this person seemed to have just switched from being a detective of the Chicago Police Department to running for city council. He was not a big shot yet. No wonder the city departments did not publicize it in a big way.

Qi Tongwei only heard that a business delegation from America was coming, but he didn't hear who was leading the team. Qi Tongwei could only pretend that he didn't know this person because he wasn't supposed to know him.

“A city councillor? How many businesses did you bring?

Any investment intentions? "

Qi Tongwei stood up and straightened his short-sleeved white shirt. Although he looked down on these foreigners, he still had to pay attention to his image as a government official.

"I asked Ye Biao and his team to check the companies I brought with me. They are not big companies. They are old industrial companies in the Great Lakes Economic Zone. Most of them are related to automobiles."

Qi Tongwei nodded. The domestic automobile industry is still in its initial exploratory stage. Although America's cars are not the best in the industry, these companies are all related parts companies.

However, as long as a batch is introduced and a scale is formed, it will be a good opportunity to introduce new vehicle manufacturers to form joint ventures or to absorb technology to cultivate one's own enterprises.
