Chapter 606 Let's Talk

It was another county meeting. Ji Yuanhai listened to the recent work arrangements of the county and did not express any opinions.

The government work in Wangtan County was carried out step by step, nothing special.

If we have to say what is different from other places, it is that the financial budgets in all aspects are relatively tight. Many things cannot be carried out due to lack of money, and many things have to be simplified due to lack of money.

This is also the reason why Ji Yuanhai held on to the 3 million special support funds, which caused many team members to look at him coldly - not only because of Xiang Chengxian and Li Sande, but also because Ji Yuanhai got such a sum of money and then "ate alone".

Regardless of public or private, all departments in Wangtan County are too short of money. If this money is used to improve people's livelihood or alleviate the difficulties of various departments, everyone must have welcomed Ji Yuanhai with a smile.

However, Ji Yuanhai had already made plans, and was destined not to agree to their direct money distribution. Even though three million yuan was not too much for Ji Yuanhai, and he could make up for it even if he used it, he could not compromise since he had to make clear all the accounts and withstand the test of details.

Many things are like this. If you compromise at the beginning, the whole thing will not be done, and it will completely change.

Other work in the county has been discussed, and the county magistrate Li Sande said, "Comrades, is there anything else you need to explain?"

Deputy County Magistrate Lou Shengli smiled at Ji Yuanhai, indicating that what he was going to say next was related to him.

Ji Yuanhai also responded with a smile and waited for him to speak.

"Deputy County Magistrate Ji, you mentioned finding foreign companies to invest last time. How is it going now? Is it going smoothly?" Lou Shengli asked.

Lou Shengli is a deputy county magistrate, not an executive deputy county magistrate. In terms of power and responsibility, he is still inferior to Ji Yuanhai. However, when he spoke today, it might not be entirely his own intention. It should be that someone wanted to ask a question, but it was not convenient to speak up and say more.

The one who would do this should be County Magistrate Li Sande.

Not only Li Sande and Lou Shengli, but everyone at the meeting should also be quite curious.

After all, what Ji Yuanhai said before was unrealistic no matter how you look at it.

Ji Yuanhai didn't need to hide it, so he started talking about his work progress and reported to everyone at the meeting about his recent work.

"Secretary Xiang, County Magistrate Li, my recent work has been relatively smooth. I have had preliminary negotiations with Tianhe Company, a foreign-invested enterprise, and discussed the general situation. The details are roughly like this..."

Hearing that Ji Yuanhai could rent out 2,300 acres of saline-alkali land at a price of 230,000 yuan per year and could get 2.3 million yuan in ten years, Xiang Chengxian, Li Sande and others all had strange expressions.

They all thought to themselves: Just dig the hole, and when this foreign enterprise finds out that you have given such a piece of land, it will make a fuss, and see how you can get through it.

The difference between these lands and wasteland is that there are no weeds on them, and in fact, crops cannot be grown at all.

"Regarding the establishment of plantations in Yanwa Township and Weihe Township by Tianhe Company, this is basically the case. The optional clause at the end was discussed between Tianhe Company and me, and it mainly depends on the specific opinions and ideas of our county and the two township governments."

After Ji Yuanhai finished his introduction, he looked at Xiang Chengxian, Li Sande and others, asking them whether they wanted annual rent or chose to invest in Tianhe Company's plantations and accept profit sharing.

Of course, it would be more practical to get the money - everyone thought at the same time.

However, they all fell silent immediately afterwards, and no one expressed an opinion.

Why?

Because they could certainly express their willingness to take the money, but it would be difficult to hold it; if they expressed their support today, it would become a decision made by them and Ji Yuanhai one day, and then Ji Yuanhai would have problems and troubles because of the cooperation with Tianhe Company, then wouldn't they also be jointly liable?

Deputy County Chief Lou Shengli, who had just asked, said, "Deputy County Chief Ji, since you are the one who is in charge of this matter, we don't need to say more, right?"

"How can that be possible?" Ji Yuanhai replied immediately, "Although I am busy, I have to accept the leadership in the end, and it is not up to one person to make the final decision."

Lou Shengli stopped talking. Li Sande rubbed the water cup and said slowly, "Deputy County Chief Ji, it is of course good for you to accept the leadership, but after all, you are in charge of this matter. In terms of professionalism, it is still you."

"I think you should make this decision."

He still didn't want to touch this trouble.

Ji Yuanhai had held on to the three million yuan of funds before, and now the two million and three hundred thousand yuan of rent, can he still take it out for other departments in the county? Not to mention, there are troubles behind this money.

It is too easy to not eat mutton and get angry.

Ji Yuanhai smiled at their non-stick pan appearance. This way, it was not conducive to his continued decision-making, and no one interfered.

At this moment, Xiang Chengxian hesitated and looked at Ji Yuanhai again.

"Comrade Yuanhai, you are busy attracting investment for our county, which is of course very good. Looking at the conditions you negotiated, I have to say that they are indeed not bad."

"However, I still have to ask you a question. Has the Tianhe Company conducted on-site surveys of the land you arranged? Are you satisfied?"

Ji Yuanhai heard this and thought that this old secretary was responsible and asked the right question.

Unlike people like Li Sande, who were so scared that they didn't even dare to ask when they heard there was trouble, and just wanted to push the matter away.

Of course, the old secretary was responsible for the overall leadership of the entire Wangtan County. Although he had watched Ji Yuanhai's actions with a cold eye before, if Ji Yuanhai really caused trouble and the higher authorities knew about it, it would be difficult for him, the old secretary, to stay out of it.

In any case, Ji Yuanhai felt that he and the old secretary Xiang Chengxian could get along well, not against the person, but against the matter. Although Li Sande was more than ten years younger than Xiang Chengxian, if he really encountered trouble, he would be the most unreliable person who pursued self-preservation.

"Secretary Xiang, don't worry about this. The people of Tianhe Company have already seen these lands, and they also know the degree of salinization." Ji Yuanhai said with a smile, "I didn't cheat, I laid out the conditions."

As soon as Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, Xiang Chengxian immediately showed a look of surprise, and couldn't help blurting out: "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Ji Yuanhai replied.

There was a sudden burst of surprise and discussion in the meeting room.

Not only Xiang Chengxian lost his composure, Li Sande and others were also quite surprised, looking at Ji Yuanhai in amazement, unable to remain calm.
