Chapter 76 A bad start
"County Magistrate, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
I'm calling to report on the company's fundraising progress.
After Chen Xinghua left, Lan Guanghui made a phone call to Lei Yaohua.
"County Chief Guanghui, no need to disturb you. I haven't been resting either; I went out for a walk today and just got back!"
Lei Yaohua said that although it was already past eleven o'clock, he didn't mind.
He was aware of the situation of the businesses in the county, and besides, it was already the end of the year, making it very difficult to raise money.
Of course, besides wanting to make money through these businesses to help them develop better and reduce the pressure on the county government, he also wanted to...
We also wanted to see which of these companies truly cared about the county government and were genuinely looking out for ways to help it.
"How's the progress?"
Lei Yaohua asked, "Lan Guanghui is calling me so late, there must be some results already."
"County Chief, so far, only the cement plant has raised 30 yuan; there's been no news from other companies."
I've asked Chen Xinghua, the cement plant manager, to go to Mingzhu to find you tomorrow.
Lan Guanghui reported on the results of raising the money, but he still felt very frustrated.
Although Yantaishan County is poor, he did not believe that so many enterprises could not raise a single penny.
This only shows that these people are selfish and only care about themselves.
"Okay, County Chief Guanghui, you can urge the remaining companies again in the next day or the day after."
Of course, there's no need to force them. They can contribute if they want, and we won't force them if they don't.
By the way, tell Chen Xinghua to bring more money, and let him participate in the stock subscription certificate program as well.
Also, if you can find any more money, please do so. I've already asked my family to look for it, and they will come to find you tomorrow.
"When the time comes, have them come over with Chen Xinghua."
Lei Yaohua said that he suddenly remembered Qi Tongwei's words that stock warrants could increase by more than ten times.
Stock subscription warrants are still available, so buy more. Even if they don't increase tenfold in the end, it would still be good if they increased several times.
"Okay, County Magistrate, but isn't this a bit too risky?"
Lan Guanghui was a little worried, after all, they had already taken out all the money in their house, and if they wanted to raise more money, they would have to borrow from others.
Fortunately, their own money wasn't affected much, but losing money borrowed from others could cause serious trouble.
Qi Tongwei analyzed that the stock subscription warrants will increase by more than ten times.
Even if it doesn't reach ten times or more, but only a few times, we can still make a lot of money.
That way, we won't have to worry about funding in the future.
We're guaranteed to make a profit this time!
Lei Yaohua said that since they had followed Qi Tongwei to buy stock subscription certificates, they could only trust Qi Tongwei.
"Yes, County Head!"
Since County Chief Lei Yaohua was confident, Lan Guanghui naturally wouldn't hold him back.
The next day at work, Lan Guanghui called these companies in the county again, urging them to raise money.
In the afternoon, Lan Guanghui sent him, Lei Yaohua, Jin Yang, An Zhiyi, Luo Chengcai, and Du Wenxuan's men to Mingzhu with Chen Xinghua.
The next morning, the group arrived at Mingzhu and met Lei Yaohua.
"Xinghua, you've worked hard. Did you bring all the money?"
Lei Yaohua called Chen Xinghua into a room alone.
“County Chief, it’s no trouble at all. I’ve brought all the money. As requested by County Chief Lan, I’ve also brought an extra 3 yuan.”
Chen Xinghua said happily that it was his honor to be able to serve the county magistrate.
"That's good. You'll go with them to various banks to buy stock subscription certificates later."
"Tomorrow or the day after, I'll take you to visit Mingzhu's businesses!"
Lei Yaohua told Chen Xinghua what to do: use the money to buy stock subscription certificates.
"Yes, County Head!"
Chen Xinghua nodded, indicating that once he arrived, he would simply do whatever the county magistrate asked.
"By the way, was the 30 yuan you raised all from the cement factory?"
If you have private money, set it aside.
Public and private funds must be kept separate and not mixed up.
Lei Yaohua was worried that some of the 30 yuan that Chen Xinghua had raised was personal money, since the cement factory was about to go bankrupt and it would be difficult for them to come up with 30 yuan.
“County magistrate, no, this 30 yuan is all the factory’s money, but this is the factory’s last money.”
Chen Xinghua said that he would certainly not add his personal money to it.
If the cement plant really goes bankrupt, then all this money will have been wasted.
"That's good. Whether the cement plant can be revived depends on the stock subscription certificates!"
Lei Yaohua felt very angry.
Even a cement plant on the verge of bankruptcy could raise 30 yuan, while those companies with decent profits couldn't raise a single penny.
Isn't this disrespecting the county government?
He'll have to give them a good talking to when he gets back.
After saying goodbye to Lei Yaohua, Chen Xinghua went to the bank with the others to buy stock subscription certificates.
During the process of purchasing stock subscription warrants, Chen Xinghua learned more about stock subscription warrants.
He was very fortunate to have caught this train.
After the matter is over, not only will his net worth increase several times, but the cement plant will also be able to come back to life.
Of course, these are just everyone's analyses, and we'll have to wait and see how it actually turns out.
Even if it results in a loss, gaining the approval of the county head and the executive deputy county head is still a good thing.
After all, out of so many businesses in the county, only he was the first to raise funds for the county head as requested by the executive deputy county head.
Qi Tongwei's campaign has gotten off to a bad start!
At first, he confidently contacted several large and influential companies in Mingzhu City and eagerly requested to visit and learn from them.
However, to his utter surprise, all of these companies resolutely rejected his application.
Qi Tongwei was both shocked and frustrated by the result.
After all, he couldn't understand why he, a dignified deputy township head, would be treated so coldly.
You have to understand that as a grassroots cadre, although the position is not high, you are still a person in charge of the affairs of a certain area and have certain powers and responsibilities!
But now, those companies don't even bother to acknowledge him.
Upon closer examination, this is not difficult to understand.
Although on the surface, Qi Tongwei holds the position of deputy township head.
In reality, his administrative rank was only that of a deputy section chief.
This position is considered to be at a relatively low level in the officialdom.
For large, well-funded, and experienced companies, a deputy section-level cadre like Qi Tongwei is simply insignificant.
These large corporations typically deal with higher-level government departments and officials, and are already accustomed to working closely with the core of power.
Therefore, in their eyes, receiving a minor official like Qi Tongwei is undoubtedly a waste of time and energy.
More importantly, these large enterprises are well aware that cooperating with officials of Qi Tongwei's rank often brings very limited substantive benefits or opportunities for collaboration.
They seek major projects and policy support that can influence the entire industry landscape and drive enterprises to achieve leapfrog development.
However, the resources and power that Qi Tongwei possessed were clearly insufficient to satisfy their ambitious goals.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that these companies chose to ignore Qi Tongwei's applications.
After all, in a bustling metropolis like a pearl, many companies are already at a very high level.
Many of them are at the division level, department level, or even ministerial level.
They have their own strict selection criteria and value orientations. Only partners with sufficient influence and appeal can attract their attention and importance.
