MMB Chapter 183 Meeting
Chapter 183 Meeting
Liancheng Entrepreneurs Conference.
Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river.
One-third of the entrepreneurs in Liancheng are rising stars, mostly in the internet industry, including online stores, MCNs, drone training, live streaming, and even a team that ranks among the top three in the country for Douyin (TikTok) bullet screen games.
Leading companies in the construction, healthcare, and education industries are also involved.
The owners of wigs, home textiles, and agricultural products are not to be underestimated; many have assets exceeding 100 million yuan.
Most of the newly wealthy individuals born in the 90s and 00s appeared at this conference.
There are three main issues with the government holding a conference for business leaders.
1. Support small and micro enterprises by reducing or exempting rent and taxes.
2. Support technology-based, innovative, and environmentally friendly enterprises, include them in the enterprise whitelist, and provide government-supported financial services.
3. To conduct open discussions on the economic development of Liancheng and to adopt suggestions.
I was in the last row of the meeting room, while the newly appointed municipal party secretary Yang Xiaotong and some other leaders were in the first row.
At the opening of the conference, the leaders expressed their gratitude for the participation of all the leaders. However, none of the leaders spoke on stage; instead, some entrepreneurs were selected in advance to speak.
The meeting will last all day, and lunch will be provided.
During meals.
"In the past, when the CPPCC held meetings for entrepreneurs, almost everyone would leave before half the meeting was over. But look at today's meeting, people are still here even at lunchtime."
Zhang Luode and I sat together eating.
As one of the earliest listed companies in Liancheng City, it was perfectly normal for him to attend the meeting.
"Hehe, we know exactly who's coming, who's not coming, and who's leaving early!"
"Boss, wanna have a drink tonight?"
"Okay, I see Zifeng's girlfriend is here too. I'll send him a WeChat message later, just the three of us."
"become."
Zhao Chu is in business, and Liu Haitao's family is also in business, but they haven't reached that level yet.
The afternoon sessions were basically two sessions in a row.
What does that mean?
The conference proceeded as scheduled, and the leaders held separate meetings with some companies in another conference room.
Sun Ce came to me and said, "President Shen, Secretary Hao is next door, and Secretary Yang is here too."
I straightened my clothes and followed Sun Ce inside.
"Please have a seat, Mr. Shen. This is our newly appointed Party Secretary of Liancheng, Secretary Yang."
"Hello, boss."
I could sense from Yang Xiaotong's smile and her gentle demeanor that it was a formulaic smile, the same smile she gave to every entrepreneur who came.
Hao Nian'an introduced: "Shen Tianyi, Liancheng NP Intelligent Computing Power Company, is a high-tech industry brought in by Vice Mayor Liu. President Shen is young and promising, very responsive to the government's call, and is also a local of Liancheng. His investment and entrepreneurship can be considered as a contribution to the local economy."
"NP intelligent computing power is among the 14 key projects for which the government issued a work stoppage order."
Hao Nian'an was taken aback. The issue of the fourteen key projects was quite sensitive. The previous leader's decision was unclear, and under normal circumstances, it would only be discussed within the leadership team and not publicly.
But Hao Nian'an quickly realized: "Yes, besides NP, there's also the ring road, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and so on."
"Historical problems must be resolved, but the pace of urban development cannot be stopped. Some opportunities only come once in a city's lifetime. If you miss them, you may never have another chance."
Hao Nian'an: "Understood. The government will arrange for the resumption of work on the fourteen key municipal projects as soon as possible."
Hao Nian'an understood that the newly arrived Secretary Yang was a leader who focused on political achievements and economic development.
But what I was really thinking was that Yang Xiaotong's resumption of work on 14 key municipal projects might actually be for the purpose of resuming my NP project.
End of the meeting.
Hao Nian'an found me and said, "Tianyi, our chance has come. This Secretary Yang wants to vigorously promote economic development. Let's do as we say from now on."
"Okay, I'll follow Secretary Hao's arrangements."
"You need to prepare to resume work in the next few days, and also prepare to take over other businesses."
"So urgent? My funds and personnel are not yet in place. Secretary Hao, as you know, the company in the provincial capital is preparing to go public at the end of the year. Before the listing, I need to focus my attention there."
Hao Nian'an stared at me meaningfully and said, "President Shen, you managed to build a listed company in the provincial capital within a year. I hope you can do the same in Liancheng in the future."
My inner monologue is just... Ugh...
The provincial capital's economy is on par with Liancheng's... If I raise a money-devouring beast, how many powerful families' interests will I have to threaten? This is just using me as a tool...
dinner.
Zhang Luode's resettlement.
I.
Zhao Zifeng and Jiang Qingshui.
A thought struck me: the Jiang family runs a cultural tourism business, originating in Liancheng and with operations all over the country. It might be worthwhile to collaborate.
"Everyone, let's go first."
"Cheers."
Zhang Luode smiled and said, "I saw Qingshui from afar during the entrepreneurs' meeting today, but Zifeng wasn't around, so Tianyi and I didn't have the nerve to go up and talk to him."
Zhao Zifeng: "At my level, if I went, I'd just be serving the leaders, so I might as well not go."
Jiang Qingshui sighed helplessly, "Brother Feng has such a low sensitivity to officialdom. I've urged him many times, but he won't listen."
This is a classic example of something that can't be pulled out at all.
"Qingshui, I heard from Zifeng that your family mainly deals in cultural tourism projects?"
"kindness."
"I have related plans this year, how about we collaborate then?"
"Really? The business has been bad for the past few years due to the pandemic, and our family business has shrunk a lot. We're currently looking for new avenues to explore."
"I don't know much about culture and tourism, could you tell me about it?"
Jiang Qingshui is very knowledgeable about his family's industry: "Cultural tourism is actually divided into two parts: culture and tourism. Our family mainly deals with scenic spots, intangible cultural heritage projects, and cultural IP-related products, and we also undertake cultural activities organized by the government."
That's more like it.
"Does Liancheng have any potential in the cultural and tourism sector?"
"Of course there are. Liancheng is the birthplace of the Three Kingdoms culture, with many IP-related products, as well as the annual Three Kingdoms Culture Week, theme parks, and the government also holds several Three Kingdoms cultural tourism activities every year. All of these are to enhance Liancheng's reputation and invite tourists from other places to visit."
I didn't understand before, but now that Jiang Qingshui is explaining it, it seems like it has a lot of potential.
"However, the cultural tourism and intangible cultural heritage sectors have always been controlled by the Zheng family, because the director of the Municipal Bureau of Culture seems to be a relative of the Zheng family, and it has been like this for many years."
"Hehe, everyone has relatives. Wait for my news in a couple of days."
"Yes, the cultural tourism industry is all about service, and it's much more lucrative than you might imagine."
"We'll talk about it in more detail later."
Tonight's drinking party made me realize something.
It is this intricate web of social relationships that makes our lives involve us in one circle-like network of relationships after another.
The establishment of relationships.
Characteristics of circles.
It does not affect the intersection and overlap between them.
It is this unique relationship structure that allows our interpersonal relationships to progress steadily and step by step.
