Back at Shangxi Garden, Shen Huai and the others just quarreled inside, and it took less than ten minutes.

In the eyes of others, they just take a rest and wash up after the afternoon visit, and then come out to have a pleasant negotiation with the guests.

Only a few people could see the abnormality on the faces of Shen Huai and others. Most people don't even dare to let their eyes stay too much on Song Bingsheng and Tan Qiping's faces, for fear of being misunderstood as disrespect for the leaders.

Gao Tianhe frowned slightly, not knowing what happened, making Shen Huai and Song Bingsheng look angry, and they avoided each other's eyes consciously or unintentionally after they came out.

Not many people at the scene knew that Shen Huai and Song Bingsheng were father and son, but Gao Tianhe knew about it, and also knew the rumors that Song Bingsheng and Shen Huai were at odds, but they didn't expect it to be true.

Gao Tianhe walked over to Song Bingsheng and said, "I have always hoped that Governor Song would be able to guide the work in Donghua. Today I have to taste what I want. Will Governor Song give us a speech before the banquet starts?"

This economic and trade negotiation was invited by Shen Huai in the name of the District Investment Promotion Bureau, but the scale and the level of investors who were invited to Donghua for a visit and inspection were relatively high. After the city knew the news, it decided to upgrade it to receive the reception from the city. .

Secondly, last time, Song Hongjun came forward to invite more than ten Hong Kong investors to visit Donghua, without notifying the city. Not only Tan Qiping, but also some officials in the city had some opinions on this.

Shen Huai had no choice. He was not in Donghua at the time and had to rush to Birmingham for a business trip. He had no choice but to ask the district investment director Tang Chuan to inform Pan Shihua, and the district investment bureau and Meixi Town would be responsible for the reception.

At that time, Zhou Qibao had not yet arrived in Tangzha District, and if there was any dissatisfaction in the city, he could only blame Pan Shihua for not paying enough attention to the news.

This time, the prophet Shen Huai will meet Zhou Qibao, the acting head of the district.

Zhou Qibao, an official who was transferred from the province, may not have enough experience at the grassroots level, but there is no shortage of things on the scene, so he turned his head and informed the city.

The city took over this economic and trade negotiation, and Shen Huai had no opinion.

This is not a question of indisputable achievements or magnanimity.

In Shen Huai's view, economic and trade negotiation is a two-way choice, and Donghua's economy is lagging behind as a whole. However, apart from the city, each district and county has somewhat different resource advantages. He wants to show Donghua's resource advantages to this visit. According to the investors who visited Donghua, this is the sincerity he needs to express to the investors.

The reception from the city can also make the investors invited from Birmingham feel valued.

More importantly, Shen Huai hopes that Donghua's economy can go up as a whole; Meixi Town is thriving, taking all the benefits in Meixi Town, which is not what Shen Huai wants to see.

When foreigners enter China for the first time, they rarely understand the difference between the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor in China.

Another, foreign affairs reception is mainly the responsibility of the municipal government.

Therefore, when Mark Allen and other Birmingham Economic and Trade Corps arrived in Donghua, Gao Tianhe was mainly responsible for the reception.

Song Bingsheng came to participate in the economic and trade negotiation only today. On behalf of the province, he expressed his attitude of attention, but the economic and trade delegation has been in Donghua for four days.

In addition to the city, officials in charge of investment promotion in various districts and counties, as well as state-owned factories and private enterprises in the city and county, have sent representatives to participate in economic and trade negotiations, and have brought out some projects that can be used for cooperation and investment promotion. Introduced and communicated with investors.

Several key areas are also arranged in the city, and the economic and trade delegation is invited to visit and investigate; Meixi Town and Meixi Port Industrial Park are the last stops today.

Donghua's foundation is too poor. During the previous three days of inspection and exchanges, the economic and trade delegation did not reveal much investment intentions.

Most of the people who work in the business sea are cautious, and it is difficult to establish enough trust to make investment decisions after initial short-term contact. This is also the point of Tian Jiageng's instructing to strive for the establishment of sister-city relations. Only by establishing long-term and stable economic, trade and cultural exchanges can the flow of water continue to flow.

Song Bingsheng also conveyed Tian Jiageng's instructions to Gao Tianhe. Gao Tianhe laughed and said, "With Shen Huai in Donghua, the economic work has really improved. Speaking of which, it is also my dereliction of duty as the mayor. The ability is lacking..."

"Donghua's economic work has been outstanding during this period of time, and the municipal party committee and government have led well. Mayor Gao should not be too modest." Song Bingsheng said.

Song Wenhui was saddened while listening in, how many people would not influence her likes and dislikes? The fourth brother thought that Shen Huai was not good, and if others praised Shen Huai, he would only think it was polite and flattering.

In order to win the support of the provincial and municipal governments, a detailed project feasibility analysis report was submitted when the new Meishan Iron and Steel Plant was approved for the project.

Dongdian is deciding whether to establish Huaineng Group to operate Meixi Power Plant and exchange shares with Meixi Steel, or whether to inject capital and hold shares in Meixi Port Company, which are all related to the future development of Meixi Power Plant and Meixi Ma. A detailed analysis of the new steel plant project was carried out.

It has to be said that Shen Huai's idea of ​​doing Meishan Steel's new plant project is very bold and adventurous.

However, the project has progressed to this day, and the first batch of equipment for the steel-making line has arrived in China. Those who have a deep understanding of the entire industrial system can generally see the dawn of victory. Zhao Zhimin and other elites in the industry were decisively invited to join Meigang before this, which undoubtedly proved this point.

However, for these things, the fourth brother was blindfolded and could not see.

About Shen Huai, Song Wenhui had quarreled with the fourth brother several times over the years, but to no avail. Instead, the relationship between the two sides was alienated. I don't know if it would be possible to eliminate the fourth brother's prejudice against Shen Huai in the future— It is unreasonable for people to be stubborn.

The banquet was a Western-style cold dinner party. Before the cold meal party, Gao Tianhe arranged for Song Bingsheng to speak. Song Wenhui saw Shen Huai standing far away with his arms crossed, and there was not much expression on his face.

Song Wenhui sighed in her heart, but Shen Huai had told her before that she planned to suggest that the province should come forward with Xucheng and invite the economic and trade delegation to stay in Xucheng for two more days. It would be convenient for the economic and trade delegation to return to China via Xucheng.

Song Wenhui thought that Shen Huai's intention was also to help the fourth brother expand his influence in the province, but thinking of the quarrel just now, Shen Huai probably wouldn't have the intention of sticking a hot face to a cold **** again, right?

Shen Huai fiddled with his fingers, Zhou Zhibai came over, walked over to him, and said, "David hopes to know more about the situation of the city forging factory..."

"Oh." Shen Huai turned to look at David Allen, general manager of Birmingham Steel Plant, smiled, pulled Sun Yalin, walked towards David Allen with Zhou Zhibai, shook hands with him, and said, " After you arrive in Donghua, there are some neglected places, please forgive me."

Although Shen Huai participated in the economic and trade negotiations throughout the three days, there were very few people in the city who were proficient in English.

Zhou Zhibai visited Birmingham frequently during this period, and he was quite familiar with David Allen and others, and also established small-scale business contacts with the Allen family business. David Allen and his uncle were in Donghua, and they were accompanied by Zhou Zhibai, who also acted as a translator.

After Song Bingsheng, Tan Qiping and Mark Allen spoke on stage one after another, and the cold dinner party officially started.

There are many people participating in the economic and trade negotiation, and the cold dinner party is also held in three halls; Shen Huai beckoned to the staff of Shangxi Garden and asked her to help find Zhao Yicheng and Yang Haipeng, and asked them to come over and introduce more to David Allen The situation of the city forging factory.

Meishan Iron and Steel's new plant continues to hire some engineers from West Ummings Industrial Group to participate in equipment installation and commissioning work in China, but David Allen is not among them.

It's not that David Allen's level is not good enough, it's just that Meigang can't pay the salary of David Allen, the general manager of the steel plant.

Although the official cooperative relationship with David Allen has ended, the long-term contact has also forged a deep friendship with each other.

Shen Huai also doesn't know what will happen to David Allen's position transfer within the West Ummings Industrial Group after the closure of the steel plant. He initially hoped to attract the Allen family to invest in the new Meishan Iron and Steel Plant project.

The Allen family is worried about the domestic investment promotion policy, and the new Meishan Iron and Steel Plant is not only complicated by its own equity relationship, but also in the industrial chain restricted by Meixi Power Plant and Meixi Port Terminal. Therefore, the Allen family is not interested in investing Meishan Iron and Steel's new plant has no interest at all.

Shen Huai did not expect that the Allen family would be interested in the city forging factory.

However, it is normal to think about it.

The Allen family's investment in the manufacturing industry has a history of nearly 100 years, and it has a strong inertial dependence. In the past two or three decades, the traditional manufacturing industry has been shrinking in the UK year by year, which has always puzzled the Allen family.

On the one hand, the Allen family was forced to move beyond the manufacturing industry to industries such as finance, services, tourism, and real estate.

The Allen family is not interested in directly participating in the new Meishan Iron and Steel Plant, but it does not mean that the new Meishan Iron and Steel Plant and the industrial layout of the Meixi Port Industrial Park are not attractive to them.

David Allen also frankly admitted that the performance of the team led by Shen Huai and Pan Cheng in Birmingham gave them a stronger shock.

In this economic and trade negotiation, Donghua City introduced a lot of projects that can be cooperated, but David Allen and his uncle Mark Allen took a fancy to the city forging factory.

"How big is the factory invested in?" Shen Huai asked.

His previous plan was to absorb the municipal forging plant into the Meishan Iron and Steel system through debt-to-equity swaps, so that it could be transformed into specializing in the production of section steel products and enrich the product line of Meishan Iron and Steel; if the investment of the Allen family was limited, Shen Huai had no intention of letting this piece go.

"The preliminary assumption is that after the plant is built, it will probably consume 100,000 tons of billets from Meishan Steel every year." David Allen said.

"Okay," Shen Huai said, "I'll handle this matter for you..." (83中文网)
