Chapter 228 [deja vu](2/2)
Kim Min'er said: "I will give back to Mr. Zhang's opinion to RG Group, but based on my understanding of Mr. Park Ji-shin, he will not agree to your request!"
Things began to go smoothly. After careful consideration, Park Ji-xin finally agreed to return the goods to Jiangcheng winery unconditionally and compensate for the losses, but refused to apologize publicly. Zhang Yang wanted to insist, but Yan Xinjian also thought that the matter was almost done. Now the result was very ideal. When things got to this point, RG Group agreed to return the goods, which in fact was equivalent to admitting its mistake. Most Koreans are suffering from face. It is harder to ask him to apologize publicly than kill him. It is better to leave some face for them.
Seeing that everyone was planning to stop, Zhang Yang had no intention of continuing to persevere. He contacted Inoue Yasushi for Liu Jincheng and asked him to organize supplies and arrange equipment procurement immediately. This time, Liu Jincheng was careful. When negotiating with the Japanese, he showed caution and caution, which seemed a bit long-winded.
What surprised everyone was that the Dongjiang Golden Autumn Economic and Trade Fair was not affected by the rights protection incident of Jiangcheng Winery, but the trade volume reached increased by 50% compared with last year, which was a joyful thing for the Pinghai leadership. Provincial Party Secretary Gu Yunzhi was also very happy, but he was a little embarrassed. He realized that the authority he had managed for many years was beginning to be strongly impacted by Song Huaiming. Not only that, Gu Yunzhi also lost a meal.
Secretary Gu is a person who is a good person and will not be able to pay any debts. After learning that the trade volume of the Economic and Trade Fair increased by 50% compared with last year, he invited Acting Governor Song Huaiming to dinner at noon that day.
The location is in the canteen of the government. The dishes are very simple, with four dishes and one soup, and there is no wine. Secretary Gu has issued a ban on alcohol. It is strictly forbidden for government officials to drink alcohol at noon.
Song Huaiming did not think that Secretary Gu's meal was too simple. Looking at the entire Pinghai, there were not many people who were qualified to let Secretary Gu invite him to dinner. The meaning of this meal was also extraordinary, which meant that Secretary Gu admitted that he had lost. The two top leaders of Pinghai sat together. Song Huaiming helped Secretary Gu serve a bowl of soup and smiled and said, "I thought Secretary Gu wanted to invite me to my house for a drink!"
Gu Yunzhi smiled indifferently and said, "The children are not at home, I am the only one, I am too lazy to do it. I wanted to invite you to a big hotel, but I am reluctant to let it go!"
Song Huaiming smiled: "This is very good. There are not many people in Pinghai Province that can make Secretary Gu treat you. I am deeply honored!"
Gu Yun knew: "Declare in advance that you won this meal, and I had to treat you as a last resort! I am willing to accept the loss!"
The two laughed out loud at the same time. Gu Yunzhi stopped laughing and said, "I was indeed a little worried at the beginning. As the organizer of the Economic and Trade Fair, we should show the demeanor of a great country and try not to cause excessive impact on rights protection. You see this very accurately. It is a good thing that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Huaiming said it is right. Any enterprises and businesses who come to participate in the Economic and Trade Fair have all taken a fancy to the future development of Pinghai and have seen the immeasurable potential of China's economy."
Song Huaiming said: "Secretary Gu is more thorough in thinking about the problem than me. I know that your original intention is to take care of the overall situation and try not to mix with the Golden Autumn Economic and Trade Fair in the matter of protecting rights."
Gu Yunzhi nodded: "Yes, but now I know your intention. You are trying to borrow this to remind foreign companies and merchants that when operating in China and doing business with China, you must follow the principles of fairness and equality, otherwise we will never compromise or make concessions!"
Song Huaiming said: "Secretary Gu, in fact, I have been reflecting on a problem over the past period of time. Our reform and opening up is in a period of rapid development. Our desire for foreign technology and foreign capital has invisibly raised their status. Any enterprise or merchant will conduct a comprehensive risk assessment before investing. Only when it is possible to get profits that can impress them will they invest. They will not change their investment plans because of our good or bad attitude. Our society is harmonious and stable, and our government is united and tolerant. However, this does not mean that we have to give up our own power, nor does it mean that we have to adopt a condonistic attitude towards the improper behavior of foreign companies and merchants."
Gu Yunzhi whispered: "You are right!"
Song Huaiming apologized and said, "This incident has caused a lot of trouble to Secretary Gu, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also put a lot of pressure on him."
Gu Yunzhi smiled indifferently and said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of an international event. The incident that happened in Pinghai can only be considered a foreign-related dispute, so there is no need to bother them!"
Song Huaiming said: "Fortunately, this matter went smoothly. South Korea suddenly changed its attitude. I heard that Huang Chuanshan, the head of the South Korean Economic and Trade Delegation, also went to apologize to Yan Xinjian."
Gu Yunzhi laughed in silence and said, "I heard that Zhang Yang had another fight with the Koreans!"
Song Huaiming smiled and said, "The matter has been cleared. It was the Koreans who took the initiative. They hit Yan Xinjian, which led to this conflict. Zhang Yang beat people in a self-defense counterattack. I think these Koreans should also teach them a lesson. They think they are amazing, but they deserve it if they hit people indiscriminately.
Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Huaiming, you don't speak like a governor now! But when the children fight, we can't blame them. It's their own business to suffer losses or take advantage!"
Song Huaiming knew that Gu Yunzhi did not blame this, so he whispered: "In fact, if South Korea admitted its mistake early in the morning, things would not have come to this point."
Gu Yun knew: "I heard that you are going to meet with the South Korean economic and trade group tomorrow. Is it to appease them?"
Song Huaiming smiled but said nothing. Gu Yunzhi had a sharp vision and saw every step he took very clearly. The reason why he met with the Korean trade group was to appease them. The Koreans had almost nothing in the Golden Autumn Economic and Trade Fair. The Jiangcheng Winery's rights protection incident finally won. The blow to them was obviously huge. This time, the incident was just a lesson for them. Song Huaiming did not intend to drive the Koreans out of the Pinghai Economic Circle, and in fact it was impossible.
Gu Yunzhi said again: "I heard that Zhang Yang is your future son-in-law?"
Song Huaiming laughed loudly, he did not deny it, and nodded: "He and my daughter are in love. I don't want to ask about the young people's affairs. Whether they can get together in the future depends on themselves."
Gu Yunzhi nodded, and he buried his head in his meal. For some reason, he suddenly remembered his daughter. Since he talked with his daughter, Gu Jiatong seemed to have cut off contact with Zhang Yang on the surface, but is it really the case? Gu Yunzhi didn't know, and he didn't want to think too much.
Song Huaiming said: "Secretary Gu, what do you think about what happened in Jiangcheng recently?"
Gu Yunzhi raised his head and glanced at Song Huaiming: "What did you say?"
"There are too many things happening in Jiangcheng recently, and even Secretary Gu doesn't know what happened?"
Gu Yunzhi put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped his lips: "Are you asking me for my opinion on the leadership of Jiangcheng?"
Song Huaiming smiled and said, "You can't hide anything from Secretary Gu!"
Gu Yun knew: "There is a problem!" His answer was concise, but it did not explain who had the problem or what kind of problem existed.
Song Huaiming did not continue to ask questions. At their level, they could already figure out each other's views from the other's answers. If Gu Yunzhi didn't explain it clearly, there would be no result if he asked again. Song Huaiming did not need to ask. He only needed to know that Secretary Gu was not satisfied with Jiangcheng's current leadership.
Gu Yun knew: "In fact, Jiangcheng is a microcosm of Pinghai. There are many places in our cadre team that are not satisfactory. If you want to change, you need to rely on everyone's strength."
Song Huaiming said: "The reform of enterprises in the province is facing deepening, and education reform is imminent. Without a strong leadership team, it is impossible to ensure the smooth progress of the reform."
