Chapter 846 Not an opponent
Wang Jianming talked about the relationship between the Tomb of the Seven Heroes and Mr. Qiao. Wang Jiancheng also felt that the matter was getting more and more difficult. The people in the mining area were making trouble, and the worst they could do was to spend money to solve it. But Mr. Qiao knew about it and asked Qiao Rulong to call him. To Wang Jianming, it proves that Mr. Qiao is very concerned about Lexing Group's desire to build its headquarters opposite the Tomb of the Seven Heroes.
Wang Jianming asked Wang Jiancheng a question. The initial planning of the China-Korea Industrial Park was fifty square kilometers, and the total land area where the new hospital for infectious diseases is located is only one hundred acres. Why does Lexing have to want this land?
Wang Jiancheng's explanation was also very pale. He only said that Li Bingxing, the president of Lexing Group, planned to choose that land to build the office headquarters of the China-Korea Industrial Park out of nostalgia for the past. It should be to commemorate his family. It is said that they lived there back then. On that piece of land, there were memories of his childhood.
Wang Jianming gave a suggestion: for the smooth implementation of the China-Korea Industrial Park, it is best to avoid the scope of the Qingshan Mine, and hopes that they will reconsider their request for land.
After Wang Jiancheng left, Qin Zhengyang knocked on the door and walked in. He was very efficient and had already found some key materials. One of the photos was of the time when the Japs shot the rebellious miners. Although Li Sangpu was not included, no one could It is guaranteed that he did not participate in the persecution of miners back then, not to mention that the reason why he was later shot to death by the Japs was the Qingshan Mine Disaster.
Judging from the historical data of Qingshan Mine, Li Sangpu must bear the responsibility for this mining accident. After all, he was the safety director of the mine at the time, and he still has to bear the unshirkable responsibility even now.
Wang Jianming looked at the yellowed black and white photo, his thick eyebrows furrowed and he said, "Xiao Qin, what do you think?"
Qin Zhengyang said: "I believe that Lexing Group should consider the possible conditions before choosing this land. They know that they will encounter difficulties, but they have to face them. I guess they have other considerations."
Wang Jianming nodded and said: "Maybe it's a test, I want to see the reaction of the people in the old mining area."
Qin Zhengyang said: "If you look at it from the surface, it is unwise for them to include this land. They underestimated the patriotism of the people in the mining area and hurt their emotions."
Wang Jianming said: “Do you think they will retreat in spite of the difficulties?”
Qin Zhengyang shook his head and said: "I don't think they will give in now. They may use this matter to put pressure on us."
Wang Jianming's eyes showed admiration. The person Xu Chunliang recommended to him was right. Qin Zhengyang and himself thought of going together. With an investment of 15 billion US dollars, he would enjoy the courtesy of VIPs wherever he went, so he was there At the beginning, he also made a statement that he would create all convenient conditions for Lexing Group.
From the beginning, Wang Jianming was prepared to agree to Lexing Group's request and allocate the land for the new hospital of infectious diseases to them so that the hospital could find a new location. The city could compensate the hospital accordingly. After all, they contributed to the development of Dongzhou. Sacrifices have been made, but now the situation is becoming more and more complicated. Although economic development is important, Wang Jianming maintains an extremely clear mind when it comes to sensitive issues involving national sentiments. Even without Qiao Rulong's call, he This issue will also be dealt with carefully.
Wang Jianming said: "I heard that the collective protest of the people in the mining area was driven by someone behind the scenes."
Qin Zhengyang knew as soon as he heard that Wang Jianming might be suspicious of Xu Chunliang, so he deliberately told himself this.
Qin Zhengyang said: "Actually, it is better for the problem to come out now than later."
Wang Jianming nodded and looked up at the time: "Please help me make an appointment with the representative of Lexing Group."
After receiving Wang Jianming's invitation, Li Changhyuk immediately went to the Dongzhou City Administrative Center. In his opinion, Wang Jianming took the initiative to invite him because he was nervous. He was worried that the protests from the people in the mining area would affect the negotiations on the China-South Korea Industrial Park project.
On the way there, Li Xuanbin said angrily: "Father, why do we have to invest in Dongzhou? We will be treated as honored guests in any city we go to. We give them food and drink, so why do they protest?"
Li Changhyuk’s gloomy face showed no trace of a smile: “It was Grandpa You’s decision.”
Li Xuanbin immediately stopped talking. Grandpa represents the supreme authority in the family, and no one dares to challenge it.
Li Changhyuk whispered: "I was deeply disappointed by your performance at the donation meeting that day."
Li Xuanbin argued: "He harassed Bai Lan first."
“Father, why do you object?” Li Changhe said: “Because she is not worthy of you!” He did not want to continue discussing this topic and reminded his son not to talk when he went back to see Secretary Wang with him, just listen.
The protests in the mining area affected Li Changhyuk's mood. His father thought that he was not doing things well. Li Changhyuk knew very well that if he could not handle the matter of the China-Korea Industrial Park, he might have to move back in the line of succession. After all, he was not the only one with his father. son.
Li Changhe also didn’t understand why his father insisted on choosing Dongzhou for investment. Compared with Linshi Haizhou, Dongzhou was not superior. Haizhou was close to the sea and had a large-scale dock, which was enough to beat Dongzhou in an instant. What’s more? The conditions provided by Haizhou are also more attractive than those in Dongzhou.
Li Changhe thought that the negotiations on the China-Korea Industrial Park would be very smooth, but there were twists and turns at the beginning. He was still looking forward to today's meeting with Wang Jianming. As the top leader of Dongzhou City, Wang Jianming certainly knew that The significance of the investment of five billion US dollars is that officials in this country are generally extremely eager for political achievements. Some people are even willing to make significant concessions for political achievements. These people always put their personal interests first.
Qin Zhengyang led Li Changhe and his son to Wang Jianming's office.
Wang Jianming shook hands with the Li family and his son one by one. He had actually heard about Xu Chunliang beating Li Xuanbin at the donation meeting two days ago. Wang Jianming did not think that these two young men were just angry at the beauty. They were jealous of each other. Perhaps what happened that day was just a warm-up for a full-scale confrontation between the two sides.
Li Changhyuk did not choose to leave after his son was beaten, which proves that the China-Korea Industrial Park is also very important to him, and he will not change his mind about investing because of a small matter.
Wang Jianming exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to the topic and asked them what they thought of the cooperation between the two parties. Any new ideas?
Li Changhe said: "Secretary Wang, let me tell you the truth, we are a little disappointed with the investment environment in Dongzhou."
Wang Jianming smiled and said: "It seems that there is something we can't do in our work. Mr. Li can just point it out."
Li Changhe said: "Secretary Wang promised to create all convenient conditions for our investment, but now we don't see your welcome, we only see opposition, and hear too many voices of protest. I just want to ask, Why are the people in the mining areas so prejudiced against us? Don’t they know what the establishment of the China-Korea Industrial Park means? It means that we will significantly improve the infrastructure and industrial structure of the mining areas, and it means that we will create countless employment opportunities for the mining areas. .”
Wang Jianming said: "Mr. Li should be aware of some of the recent events. We welcome and support your company's investment, and I did say that we would create all possible conveniences for your investment."
Wang Jianming emphasized the word "maybe". Li Changhe had obviously changed the concept just now. Wang Jianming would never have said it so harshly.
Li Changhe said: "We came with sincerity and prepared to invest 15 billion US dollars to help Dongzhou develop its economy and develop Dongzhou into Lexing's largest overseas industrial base. However, we did not get the respect we deserved and even felt that Insulted."
Wang Jianming said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Respect is always mutual. I don't think we are rude in any way. As for the insult mentioned by Mr. Li, it is even more out of the question."
Li Changhe said: "Didn't Secretary Wang hear how those people scolded us? They said we had bad intentions and that we were the descendants of the Japanese Japs. My grandfather was a hero. He protected many miners from persecution in Qingshan Mine, but now those people Instead of being grateful, the descendants of the miners viciously attacked my ancestors. Isn't this an insult?"
Wang Jianming said: "We have already started investigating the matter you mentioned. If it involves personal attacks, we will definitely deal with it. Everything must be evidence-based. According to historical records from that year, there were indeed mercenaries from the peninsula who were behind the attack. Many miners were killed, their wives and families were separated, and their families were destroyed. History cannot be erased."
Li Changhe said: "Secretary Wang, what do you mean by this? My grandfather has never done those things."
Wang Jianming said: "Can you guarantee that no one else has done it?" He handed a photo to Li Changhe.
After Li Changhe read it, he shouted angrily: "Since Secretary Wang doesn't welcome us, don't make such an expression from the beginning. This photo has nothing to do with our Li family. My grandfather is also a victim. We are here." Investors are not here to talk about history with you.”
Wang Jianming said: "We welcome foreign investment, but it does not mean that we do not set thresholds or screening for any investment, nor does it mean that we can put history aside. Also, Mr. Li should know that there are risks in any investment. , I believe that you have also done a risk assessment before investing. There are still many family members of those who were killed in the Qingshan Mine, and they will not forget what happened back then."
Li Changhyuk said: "So there is a reason why your country's development lags behind ours, because you always hold on to the past."
The smile on Wang Jianming's face disappeared: "Mr. Li, there is a saying in our country that forgetting history means betrayal. Only by remembering history can we create a future! Your country has indeed developed rapidly in the past few decades, but from a historical perspective, we I have never regarded you as opponents! For everyone, working together for a win-win situation is the right choice."
Wang Jianming’s words can be interpreted in two ways. One is that we have never been hostile to you, and the other is that we have never looked down upon you.
