Chapter 773 Secretary
Following the direction of his finger, Lin Yuhang began to understand the meaning of Zhang Liming's words.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Is the foreign party considering the convenience of export?"
"Second brother is right, that's the problem!" Zhang Liming gave Lin Yuhang a thumbs up. "Look, from a geographical point of view, your Chao County is much better than our Liancheng. It's less than 100 kilometers northeast of Chao County to reach Shanghai Port, and the transportation is extremely convenient. If you go southeast and cross the river directly, you can reach Mingzhou Port in the same distance. The two major ports in East China are both in the surrounding areas of Chao County, which are more suitable than Liancheng from the export perspective."
Lin Yuhang nodded slightly. What Zhang Liming said was right. For Chao County or the entire Hecheng, this was indeed a considerable advantage.
In fact, Lin Yuhang has also noticed this these days and has been thinking about how to use this advantage to promote Chao County's economy.
Shenghua Group has done a good job in its park in Pengcheng, which can be said to be one of the earliest parks in the country.
Because of his relationship with Song Yuanchao, Lin Yuhang knows much more about Shenghua's development in Pengcheng than outsiders, and he also understands the establishment and function of the so-called park better.
In China, Pengcheng is the first special economic zone, but the real local economic development zone was established in Bincheng.
Compared with Bincheng Economic Development Zone, the park established by Shenghua in Pengcheng is only of enterprise nature, which is fundamentally different. Moreover, after the establishment of Bincheng Economic Development Zone, the effect on local economic growth was remarkable. Since then, similar development zones have gradually appeared in various provinces and cities in the mainland.
During these days of research, Lin Yuhang considered whether it was possible to establish an economic development zone in Chao County. Just as Zhang Liming said, Chao County has its advantages.
First of all, Chao County's economy is not bad. Although it has developed slowly after the reform and opening up, it has a good foundation. Secondly, Chao County has the characteristics of the textile industry, and now textile exports account for a large part. Thirdly, Chao County has a good geographical location, close to Shanghai and Mingzhou, and convenient transportation.
However , it is not so simple to establish a development zone. At present, the local economy can be simply described in one sentence: "attracting investment". From the literal meaning of this sentence, it means to attract foreign businessmen and bring in foreign investment, so as to promote the development of the local economy.
Originally, Lin Yuhang was planning to ask Song Yuanchao for help. Song Yuanchao's Shenghua and Si Te were the best targets for attracting investment, and the relationship between the two was not comparable to that of ordinary friends. Lin Yuhang believed that as long as he asked, Song Yuanchao would definitely not refuse.
But from Lin Yuhang's perspective, seeking help from Song Yuanchao was just a backup, not his main goal. Lin Yuhang wanted to dig deeper into the situation and make some achievements through his own efforts, and he had some preliminary ideas these days.
But Zhang Liming's sudden visit today brought Lin Yuhang such "good news", which made Lin Yuhang quite interested.
If it was really as Zhang Liming said, it would be a good thing. But Lin Yuhang also had doubts in his heart. Logically speaking, the relationship between Zhang Liming and himself was not that good. Although it was not to the point of breaking up, it was just ordinary. This time, Zhang Liming came to visit him specially and brought him the opportunity to attract investment. It seemed a little too enthusiastic.
Lin Yuhang thought so while smoking a cigarette, but then he changed his mind and felt that it was nothing.
After all, the final decision is in your hands. No matter what the other party's purpose is, as long as you are in charge, who cares what the other party is up to?
"If that's the case, it's a good thing." Lin Yuhang said to Zhang Liming with a smile.
"Haha, if Second Brother thinks it's a good idea, I'll ask him to come over and have some contact with us?"
"Okay, Liming, thank you very much for this."
"Hahaha, we are strangers to each other, why do we have to be so distant?" Zhang Liming laughed and said, "My request is not high. What do you think? Is this news worth your treat?"
"Of course, of course. I'll provide you with plenty of good food and wine." Lin Yuhang agreed cheerfully. He looked at his watch and found that it was already time to get off work. He immediately stood up and called Zhang Liming: "Come on, I'll treat you to a good meal today. Our food here can't compare to yours, but it still has some characteristics, especially the pot meat, banquet balls and fish balls here have a unique flavor. I know a time-honored brand that makes very authentic food."
"Okay, I'd rather obey than be polite. Today I'll try the specialties here." Zhang Liming followed suit and said with a smile.
The wine was good and the two sides were in harmony.
After all, they all knew each other before, and the fights and quarrels in childhood are a kind of memory for adults. What's more, the two of them have similar backgrounds and are now working in local areas, so they have a lot in common.
After three rounds of drinks, they talked about the past and became closer to each other, especially when Zhang Liming talked about Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin's families, there was some envy and emotion in his words.
Lin Yuhang smiled and said, "Zhang Liming, you are doing well now. He heard about your marriage last year, but was unable to congratulate you due to work reasons. This glass of wine today is to wish Zhang Liming a happy marriage and a happy life."
Zhang Liming laughed, picked up the wine on the table and drank it, then put down the glass and started talking about work. They had a very pleasant conversation.
Zhang Liming stayed in Chao County for one night, and Lin Yuhang personally saw him off the next day.
After Zhang Liming left, Lin Yuhang continued with his work. A few days later, he received a phone call. The caller was the overseas customer that Zhang Liming had mentioned before. After a brief communication on the phone, he felt good about the situation. Lin Yuhang immediately formally invited the other party to come for negotiations and instructed his secretary to make preparations in advance.
"Leader, should we discuss this matter with the secretary first?" The secretary wrote down the work in his notebook, thought about it, and asked Lin Yuhang hesitantly.
Lin Yuhang looked up at the other party, and the young secretary quickly explained: "I think attracting investment is a good thing, and it is also a major event for our Chao County. You have just arrived and it is time to make achievements, so I think..."
"You're right to think so, but it's still a little early. This is just a preliminary contact. We need to get to know the other party more to understand what's going on. There's no rush to communicate. Let's arrange the reception first."
"I understand, leader. I'll arrange it right away..." The secretary nodded repeatedly, closed the work notes in his hand and left quickly.
After the secretary left, Lin Yuhang frowned slightly and looked in the direction the secretary went, feeling quite dissatisfied with the secretary.
He took the position alone, and the current secretary was arranged by the office. Lin Yuhang picked one of several candidates to serve as his temporary secretary. However, these days, Lin Yuhang was not satisfied with this secretary. As a secretary, this young man's mind was a little too active, which was not good.
Although what the secretary said just now was well-intentioned, the problem was that as a secretary, this was beyond his scope of duties, and Lin Yuhang also heard other meanings in the secretary's words, which made Lin Yuhang think about replacing the secretary.
But it is not so easy to change the secretary. Lin Yuhang is new here and is still in the process of getting familiar with the people and things around him. If he continues to ask the office to recommend someone, it may not be satisfactory. Maybe he will be worse than the current one.
For a moment, Lin Yuhang couldn't help but think of the time when Lin Daoyuan went to Jinling. At that time, Lin Daoyuan still brought Xiao Shao with him. At that time, Lin Yuhang felt a little confused. Now looking back, Lin Daoyuan was right to do so. Having a reliable and trustworthy person by his side would save him a lot of trouble. It's a pity that when he left the enterprise, there was no one like Xiao Shao by his side.
The weekend came in a blink of an eye. Lin Yuhang gave his secretary a day off in advance because he had to leave early and take a bus back to Shanghai.
Luo Lin and the children have moved to Shanghai. Lin Yuhang now goes back every weekend. The two places are very close, so it is very convenient for him to go back if he has something to do.
Lin Yuhang didn't drive, but took a car from the car team. The driver was also a full-time driver arranged by the office.
Compared to the secretary, this driver was quite good. He was an experienced driver in his forties and a veteran. This made Lin Yuhang have a natural liking for him. He was also a very good driver, not talkative, and down-to-earth. After driving for Lin Yuhang twice, Lin Yuhang told the office to transfer him to be his full-time driver.
We set off at around 3:00 p.m. and the journey was relatively smooth. We arrived in Shanghai before 5:00 p.m. and arrived home at exactly 5:30 p.m.
"Old Liu, be careful on your way back." The car stopped, Lin Yuhang opened the door and got out, and reminded the driver, Old Liu .
Old Liu nodded in agreement, and said that he would come to pick up Lin Yuhang at six o'clock on Monday morning. Lin Yuhang nodded, closed the car door, and watched Old Liu's car leave before he walked towards home.
"You're back!" When she entered the house, Rowling was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the door open, she looked towards the door and saw that it was Lin Yuhang who greeted her.
"You're back. Where's my son?" Lin Yuhang put down his bag and was asking when he saw Maomao running out of the room. Seeing his father coming back, he ran over happily: "Dad is back! Dad is back!"
"Hey! Son! Daddy is back!" When he saw his lively and cute son, all the tiredness in his body disappeared instantly. Lin Yuhang squatted down with a smile, picked up his son and turned him around a few times. Maomao was so happy that he giggled.
"Dad, auntie, brother Yangyang and little sister will be back tomorrow!" Maomao suddenly said after playing with his son for a while.
"Really?" Lin Yuhang was stunned and asked Luo Lin in the kitchen: "Linlin, will Yan Zi and the others be back tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Luo Lin came out of the kitchen carrying food. "I just received a call this morning. They said that the plane will arrive at noon tomorrow. By the way, Yuan Chao will also be back tomorrow. They asked us to go to their house for lunch tomorrow at noon."
Lin Yuhang was very happy to hear that his sister and her family would be back tomorrow. He hadn't seen Lin Yan and the others for a long time and he missed them a lot.
When the food came, Lin Yuhang took his son to wash his hands. The family of three ate dinner and chatted. Time passed quickly...
