Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 641 Political Investment

Bai Yuanwei glanced at Ding Yizhen and said, "Director Ding is right, but I don't think this applies to Beishan. Beishan is like a newborn baby right now, everything about it is very fragile.

If conflicts arise between young parents at this time, it may affect the secretion of milk and indirectly affect the healthy growth of the baby."

Ding Yizhen laughed, "Mr. Bai, your analogy is quite interesting, but you overlooked one thing. If a young couple has conflicts without children, it may develop into a big problem or even divorce. But with children, things will be different.

They will compromise with each other within certain rules for the sake of their children and eventually become qualified parents."

Bai Yuanwei also smiled, "Well, Director Ding, how about this, let's make a bet."

Ding Yizhen smiled, but said cautiously, "Boss Bai, you're making things difficult for me. We government officials can't gamble because it goes against our principles."

Bai Yuanwei said, "Director Ding, don't worry. I won't let you violate my principles. This is just a gamble. It doesn't involve money or interests. It's just a gamble on whether I should invest in Beishan next."

Ding Yizhen smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Bai, you have already made up your mind whether to invest or not. There is no need to gamble."

Bai Yuanwei didn't expect that Ding Yizhen was so capable and could see through him thoroughly.

No wonder Handong is at the forefront among the provinces in central and eastern China. A small deputy director at the bureau level has such a sharp vision.

So what kind of heroes are these two secretaries and mayors who stirred up the Han River in just a few months?

Bai Yuanwei said: "Of course I have the final say on whether to invest, but it may affect my investment intensity. With an immature government, I will only be cautious and reduce the amount."

"Mr. Bai, this is your loss. If you truly understand Beishan and our two leaders, you shouldn't be so cautious. Instead, you should increase your stakes."

Bai Yuanwei disagrees. "The glory of the past cannot represent the present. Just like me and our Weiye Group, I always feel that the easiest time was when we were just established and the assets exceeded 100 million. At that time, I could easily control the entire group.

But since last year, when Weiye Group began to expand internationally and its assets expanded rapidly, I've felt increasingly overwhelmed. This is because it's no longer limited to one place or one country, but the entire world. Past experience can only be used as a reference, not a copycat."

After a pause, he continued, "Your municipal party secretary is considered the youngest prefectural party secretary in the country, at only 39 years old. Not to mention the mayor, he is the only one in the country.

Such achievements are indeed impressive and amazing, but I believe that a person's growth requires time.

"If you're one step faster, you're a talent; if you're two steps faster, you're a genius; but if you're ten steps faster, you're just a genius that dies prematurely. It may look great, but it lacks the foundation and could collapse at any moment."

Ding Yizhen sighed. Could he accept such slanderous words from his leader? He could only admit defeat and said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Bai, I don't know what the bet you want from me is.

But I have to remind you that I am just an ordinary deputy director. Even if you beat me, you may not get anything from me. "

Bai Yuanwei said, "You're not just any deputy director. I heard that the higher-ups think highly of you. You have the final say on most of the land in Beishan City. I'm afraid even the average deputy mayor doesn't have as much power as you."

Ding Yizhen chuckled, "Boss Bai, you're kidding. Each of our functional departments has its own responsibilities. Besides, as a deputy director, how can I possibly bypass so many functional departments to make decisions? The most I can do is act as a go-between for you. The specific situation still needs to be documented and decided by higher-ups."

Bai Yuanwei glanced at Ding Yizheng with a chuckle and did not respond, obviously not believing it.

"Director Ding, I think you are the most cautious one."

Can we not be cautious?

When Ding Yizhen went to meet Bai Yuanwei, he specifically investigated the other party and found out that he was a wolf-like businessman.

The development of Weiye Group can be said to have been a mess, with corpses everywhere. Bai Yuanwei is best at taking advantage of people's misfortunes.

Before acquiring a company, he will definitely squeeze every last bit of value out of it.

Ding Yizhen said, "Mr. Bai, I'm not being cautious, I'm being rigorous. I'm being rigorous about the rights granted to me by the Party and the people. For example, if I lose, and you ask me to sell the land to you at a low price, think about it. Can I do that? If I did, would that be worthy of the Party and the people?"

Bai Yuanwei smiled and said, "What do you mean by selling at a low price? I just hope your city will make some concessions. This is normal business behavior. If you want to attract us in, you can't not show some sincerity. Besides, you should be aware of the reputation of Weiye Group in Hanjiang.

I can say that as long as we settle in Beishan, the benefits we will bring to you are definitely not measurable in terms of money."

Ding Yizhen thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Bai, which piece of land do you want?"

Bai Yuanwei waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I promise I won't make things difficult for you."

Having said this, Ding Yizheng couldn't refuse any longer, otherwise it would seem that he was being too disrespectful.

Ding Yizhen smiled and said, "Well, it's hard to refuse such a kind offer. Tell me, what does Mr. Bai want to bet on?"

"I heard that you will be giving a speech today, so let's bet on whether you can make it today." Bai Yuanwei said with a smile.

Ding Yizheng's face changed, and a hint of anger appeared.

Bai Yuanwei patted Ding Yizhen and said soothingly, "Director Ding, don't be angry first, let me explain it to you.

As the Weiye Group grew, it inevitably encountered various officials and witnessed many struggles. With situations like yours, I'm afraid your future situation won't be very good."

Ding Yizhen asked in confusion, "If that's the case, what's the point of Mr. Bai making this bet with me? If I can't even give a speech today, then giving you a preferential price to get the land is even more impossible."

Bai Yuanwei said, "Director Ding, you're wrong. In China, no matter what level of government, the Party leads everything. No matter how powerful the top leader is, his power cannot be erased. You are the top leader's subordinate, representing a portion of his power. Your power may be restricted, but it cannot be completely eliminated."

Ding Yizhen reacted, "I didn't expect Mr. Bai to be not only an expert in economic investment, but also in political investment. Are you planning to invest in Secretary He?"

Bai Yuanwei glanced at the followers behind him, and the followers tactfully left space for the two to talk.

"It's not really an investment; we're just taking what we need. I've learned that Secretary He isn't very good at economics. Fortunately, I can make up for this shortcoming. This way, you can face that powerful mayor with greater ease."
