I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 521 The current leaders are really crazy about attracting investment!
"Are you in Nanxin or Shencheng?" Miao Hongbin asked again.

"Nanxin, you're back?" Fang Qingye asked in return.

"No, I'm in Wuyang, I'll be right there."

Huh? So rushed?
"County Chief Miao, what exactly happened?" Fang Qingye asked, somewhat curious.

"It can't be explained in a sentence or two, I'll explain when I get there."

"Okay, I'll stay at the bank."

An hour later, Fang Qingye heard a knock on the door. Hu Lingling immediately went to open it and saw Miao Hongbin standing at the door.

"County Chief Miao, please come in and have a seat." Fang Qingye immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Hu Lingling, pour tea for County Chief Miao."

"Ok."

"Hu Lingling, no need to pour tea, just give me a glass of cold water." Since they were already familiar with each other, Miao Hongbin didn't stand on ceremony.

“I have homemade cold-brewed tea made with Da Hong Pao. Try it,” Fang Qingye said.

Hu Lingling poured Miao Hongbin a glass, and he didn't stand on ceremony, picking it up and gulping it down in one go, clearly very thirsty.

"I was on my way to the countryside this morning, but when I heard the news, I immediately turned the car around and drove back. I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water," Miao Hongbin explained.

"What about Secretary Guo? He's been neglecting his duties," Fang Qingye joked.

Secretary Guo's real name is Guo Tao. He is Miao Hongbin's personal secretary, assigned to him in Wuyang.

“I sent him back to Wuyang County to take care of some things for me.”

oh.
Miao Hongbin then said, "What's going on? Your friend Shi Guangrong and his friends are investing in and preparing to start a company that specializes in the production of wind turbine towers and offshore wind turbine monopiles and jacket supports. It is said that the investment is quite large, reportedly over 100 million."

"Huh? Shi Guangrong came to Nanxin and went fishing with me a while ago. He mentioned that he was planning to invest in some new energy projects, but I don't know the specifics of what he's investing in. How did you find out, County Chief Miao?"

"Hey, what a coincidence. When I went to the town to work, the town secretary reported to me and then talked about attracting investment. He said that he went to Shanghai on the weekend and met up with his old college classmate who was in business. During the meal, they chatted and mentioned that someone wanted to invest in a factory. One of the investors was named Shi Guangrong, who also said that Fang Qingye, the boss of Jinghai Nanxin, was familiar with him."

“Our Party Secretary has heard of you and told me about this. I felt there was something fishy going on, so I immediately called you to confirm it,” Miao Hongbin concluded.

Ah?
Such a coincidence?
"Qingye, you know that Wuyang has a state-approved wind power concession, right?" Miao Hongbin asked.

"heard about it."

Wuyang County is close to the sea and has abundant wind resources, earning it the nickname "the Three Gorges of the Sea" in Jiangsu Province. In 2004, the state approved the first wind power concession project in the country.

Wind power concessions are a market-based development model in which the government grants the right to develop wind power resources to owners through bidding, who bear the risks of investment, construction and operation, and have ownership and operating rights during the concession period.

"The state has already carried out the first and second phases of wind power concession projects in Wuyang County, with a total installed capacity of 200 megawatts. Now we plan to build Wuyang County into a national new energy base for offshore wind power generation and wind power equipment manufacturing. Therefore, your friend's company is very suitable to settle in our Wuyang County!"

After hearing Miao Hongbin's words, Fang Qingye smiled and said, "County Chief Miao, don't worry, let me call Shi Guangrong first."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Shi Guangrong's number.

The call was quickly answered, and Shi Guangrong's voice came through the receiver: "Qingye, do you want to invite me fishing?"

"I'm quite relaxed. I heard you've been very busy lately," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Huh? Who told you that? Yes, I'm thinking of investing in a project recently and I'm currently investigating it. Didn't I tell you about it a while ago?"

"How's the specific inspection going?" Fang Qingye asked, turning on the speakerphone. "Not bad. This team focuses on the research and development of products such as wind turbine towers, offshore wind turbine jackets, and wind measurement towers. They have several product patents in this area, but they don't have their own funds. So they provide the technology and I provide the funds. We're preparing to build a factory."

Has the factory location been decided?

"We're currently investigating. Land prices in Shanghai are too high, and the costs are a bit too much, so we're planning to look around the surrounding areas. We spent two days in Jiaxing and are on our way back now," Shi Guangrong said on the phone.

"Back to Shanghai?"

"Yes, we're going back to Shanghai. In a couple of days, we plan to visit other places."

Just as Fang Qingye was about to say something, she saw Miao Hongbin quickly hand her a note, on which was written:

"Let's ask him out! We're going to Shanghai right now!"

shit
Miao Hongbin is truly efficient and decisive in his work.

Fang Qingye then said, "I'm also going to Shanghai this afternoon. Shall we meet and have a couple of drinks?"

"Haha. The sun has risen in the west! You, Fang Qingye, actually dare to offer to drink?" On the other end of the phone, Shi Guangrong laughed loudly: "Let's skip the alcohol. We're both equally good at drinking. How about we find a place to have tea?"

"Okay, I'll listen to your investment insights. I'll find a location near the Bund, close to where we both live."

"Okay, I'll call you when the time comes."

After Fang Qingye finished her call, Miao Hongbin said, "Let's leave after lunch. I'm going home to get some clean clothes." He then stood up and walked towards the door.

"County Chief Miao, wait a minute." Fang Qingye hurriedly said, "I'm only familiar with Shi Guangrong. As for his partners and the projects he invests in, I don't know anything about them."

“I understand what you mean.” Miao Hongbin smiled and said, “Let’s make contact first. As for the specific projects, we can investigate them later. We need to get the people to Wuyang first.”

"Okay." Fang Qingye escorted Miao Hongbin to the stairwell before returning. Seeing the other man's back, he couldn't help but sigh, "These days, leaders are absolutely crazy about attracting investment."

Since she was going to Shanghai that afternoon, Fang Qingye called Bai Ou to briefly explain the situation, and then told Zhao Wenjun about it, but didn't go into details.

Zhao Wenjun was already used to Fang Qingye's inconsistent work schedule, since he didn't need to worry about the bank's daily operations anyway.

They ate lunch at the nursery again. After lunch, Fang Qingye packed her luggage and prepared to leave. Yue Kai was already waiting in the car. He was about to call Miao Hongbin and tell him to wait for him at the entrance of his residential area when he heard a car horn outside the nursery. A young man carrying a briefcase got out of the car and hurriedly walked in.

It was Guo Tao, Miao Hongbin's secretary, who looked like he had come all the way from Wuyang.

"Secretary Guo, County Chief Miao is here?" Fang Qingye greeted.

"Yes, President Fang, he's in the car."

"Let's go. Have you eaten yet?" Fang Qingye asked with concern.

"I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to eat, but it's okay, I'll buy some bread on the way and eat it in the car," Guo Tao explained.

"That won't do. Do you want some of the buckwheat and egg pancakes my grandma made for lunch? They're still warm," Fang Qingye asked.

"Thank you. I've heard that your Nanxin buckwheat and egg pancakes are exceptional," Guo Tao said with a smile.

"That's right, my grandma's is even better. Please wait a moment!"

Fang Qingye returned to the courtyard, went to the kitchen, put several buckwheat and egg pancakes in a clean lunchbox, took a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Guo Tao. Then everyone got into their cars and left the nursery.
