Chapter 11：

"On the first day we arrived in the Shennan area, we had already decided to give up building a factory here."

This sentence made everyone present dizzy and couldn't recover for a long while. Qiu Zhengye is okay. Many years of official career have made him develop the habit of "happiness and anger do not show color", and those grassroots-born grassroots leaders are not so well-trained, and their faces are as dark as the bottom of a pot. In general, the grumpy ones are even whispering.

Do not invest or build a factory, you let us accompany you for so many days in the Shennan area! Why don't you go to heaven!

"Mr. Andorio, it is a difficult process for the two parties to reach cooperation. Our Haidong Province is very sincere. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly raise it. We can change it, right? "Qiu Zhengye's remarks not only expressed sincerity, but also did not lose the dignity of the Chinese nation, and he deserves to be a great official in frontiers.

"Yeah, yes, Governor Qiu is right. We in the Shennan area fully support the incomplete infrastructure. The roads and roads are built and the policy is definitely the most favorable."

"We in Yantian County must do a good job in service work, and the county finances special affairs. As long as we work together, there is nothing we can't overcome."

The Secretary of the Shennan Prefectural Committee and the leaders of Yantian County expressed their determination.

In the special historical period of the early 1980s, for China, it was not Roche's 1 million US dollar foreign exchange that it was interested in, but the practical significance of pharmaceutical giants entering China. If China wants to express its determination to reform and open up to the world, there is no better platform than the global top 500 companies.

David and a few foreigners talked quickly in their native language. Five minutes later, he turned his head and spread his hands to the crowd. "I'm very sorry, but we all agree that our pharmaceutical factory is not suitable for the Shennan area."

"It's not that the Shennan area is bad, but we think it has great potential for development. In the past few days, we have seen five or six fishing towns. Maybe you didn't care. Our investigation found that these towns The income of the townspeople has a trend of diversification, and the status of fisheries in their lives is gradually declining. And this change only occurred in two or three years."

"If this trend continues, less than ten years, there will be fewer and fewer fishermen engaged in traditional fishery work. Moreover, after your policy is liberalized, the radiation effect of Xiangjiang on the Shennan region is much stronger than we thought. According to our As a result of the analysis, Shennan has the potential to become a developed port city."

David explained patiently, he was still a little bit embarrassed to let Chinese officials go with him for so long.

The Chinese officials headed by Qiu Zhengye looked at each other. They were also complimented, but they were different from foreign friends. After these words, everyone only felt as refreshing as having a cold beer in summer, and even the dark-faced grassroots leaders who heard that Roche was not building the factory couldn't help but slow down.

"Since you are so optimistic about the development of the Shennan region, why did you give up investing here?" The leader of Yantian County couldn't help but ask, one million dollars in foreign exchange!

David chuckled, "This gentleman, we originally chose Yantian County as the inspection site. First, the fishery in Yantian County can provide us with sufficient raw materials and the second is cheap labor. A developed port city does not meet this requirement. Two requirements."

Silence, long silence.

"Is there no chance to discuss it again? You can choose not to choose the Shennan region. Our country is very big, so we can do anywhere!" said the official of the Ministry of Health bitterly.

China needs Roche to signal its active integration to the world and Roche's foreign exchange. Huayuan is in an awkward situation in this era. Only foreign exchange can purchase advanced foreign technology and promote the development of national science and technology.

"I understand you very well, but sorry" appeared on the faces of many foreigners.

Li Zheng watched this scene with a very complicated feeling in his heart. In the era he once lived, China was a world power. How could the governor of a Chinese province spend a few days and nights with foreign investors for just a million dollars?

In the 21st century, Chinese people can proudly say that China has supported half of the world economy. However, they would not have thought of how much effort and price the ancestors paid for the development of the country at the beginning of China's commodity economy.

"David, the raw materials and labor issues you mentioned are all things in the future. You just find it troublesome." Li Zheng, who has been silent, suddenly said.

David didn't expect that Li Zheng would be so direct and looked a little embarrassed. After all, he refused the investment invitation from his hometown as soon as he received a big gift. He had always been thick-skinned and his cheeks flushed.

"My dear friend, factory relocation requires more manpower and material resources than building a new factory. We hope to make decisions more cautiously, taking into account the future development." Obviously, compared to those Chinese officials, he told Li Zheng Explain in more detail and sincerely.

Li Zheng chuckled, "Dear friend, do you want to make a bet with me. The name'the first pharmaceutical company to enter China' will be worth much in the future." He pointed his finger at the land under his feet. "This represents a market of nearly one billion!"

David was shocked by the confidence in Li Zheng's words. He rubbed the watch on his wrist and began to think about Li Zheng's words seriously. Yes, China has a population of one billion, close to one-fifth of the world's population. If everyone buys a Roche medicine... David can't help but breathe in the air.

He knows that the medical consciousness of the Chinese people is very weak, which is why the Chinese market has not been taken seriously. But ten or twenty years later, after this inspection, he can clearly feel the determination of the Chinese leadership to actively integrate into the world and the efforts made for economic development, the Chinese economy can rise!

The economy is up, the consumption power is strong, and the market is one billion! David felt that he seemed to have found a smooth way to the sky.

"Don’t think about it. If you lose the bet, what you lose is just a dispensable small factory. With its weight, you can’t even leave a trace on your resume. If you win the bet, what you will gain, presumably I know. Make a contract."

Li Zheng used an affirmative sentence. He turned his head to look at a group of Chinese officials who were dumbfounded. He rolled his eyes. Wasn't he quite clever just now.

Xie Wenjie reacted first, and he ran to the old Hongqi car not far away.

Originally, Haidong Province and the Ministry of Health planned to hold a grand signing ceremony to commemorate the first global 500 compulsory drug company to enter China, but now what is the signing ceremony? It is important to sign the contract!

Xie Wenjie felt that he had never ran so fast in his life. When he handed the contract to Li Zheng, he felt that his whole body was about to float, and he was dizzy.

Li Zheng glanced at the contract. This policy... is really favorable. Even a fool can make money. Taking a look at a certain fool who was still in a daze, he handed the contract under David's nose.

"Sign it."

David finally recovered from his vision of a bright future. contract? So fast? David felt that he hadn't figured it out yet.

"Dear friend, I will reflect your suggestions truthfully to the top. Should I sign this contract without waiting for the news above?" David said cautiously, even though he didn't even know what he was being careful about.

Li Zheng gave him a swish look, "You can call the shots for a small project of $1 million."

David...

"Give us five minutes." David changed his words immediately. Then they turned their heads and talked again with the two of them.

When Qiu Zhengye got the contract with the red seal and the beautiful English characters, the whole person was still dizzy. How could he feel so unreal.

This is what happened, because two words from this fisherman? If people in the 1980s knew a creature like grass mud horses, then they would definitely have 10,000 little cuties running past in their hearts. Movies are not so fantastic!

"Hahaha, welcome Roche to our country of China, to our Haidong Province. Tonight, I will be the host. Please have a meal to celebrate the results of this cooperation." Qiu Zhengye has experienced strong winds and waves. Up! It's a good thing!

There was a lively response. With political achievements and one million US dollars in foreign exchange, it is indeed worth celebrating.

The evening celebration party was still held in the guest house. There were five or six tables. In addition to the original group, many people from the Shennan area and Yantian County came. Li Zheng was pulled by David and sat at the main table.

"Come on, I toast everyone and congratulate us on the complete success of this cooperation." Qiu Zhengye took the lead in toasting.

Five or six tables Sala Lala stood up and toasted together. Because of the leaders in the Shennan area and Yantian County that came later, the town leaders of Qinghe Town had to give up their positions, and listened to the leaders at the dinner table, the pharmaceutical factory bypassed Qinghe Town and directly transferred to the Shennan area. Responsible for the assistance of Yantian County, nothing happened to Qinghe Town.

Li Zheng also raised his glass, but before he could bring the glass to his mouth, David made a fuss, "Oh, Li, you are not an adult yet, waiter, do you have juice?"

Li Zheng...

"Haha, yes, Li Zheng, you should drink juice." Qiu Zhengye immediately greeted the waiter.

Zhou Sitian stepped forward quickly, holding a bunch of freshly squeezed apple juice, and handing it respectfully to Qiu Zhengye.

"Chief, your juice." She looked a little cautious. As for the governor, she had never seen such a big official in her life.

Qiu Zhengye obviously still has an impression of Zhou Sitian, "Are you... Li Zheng's sister?"

Zhou Sitian glanced at Li Zheng, wondering if she should say yes. The events of the past two days made her feel that her younger brother seemed very far away, as if he was in the sky.

"Sister..." Li Zheng helpless, what is this little girl thinking about.

David's face recognition function for Asians is not so good. Hearing Qiu Zhengye speak, he recognized that this is Li Zheng's sister. He said very enthusiastically: "Sister, sit down and eat together."
