Have you been drinking?
There is no lack of social interaction within the system. It is not that just being an official and having dinner and drinking with others is considered corruption and dereliction of duty. That would be a bit too much. Necessary business invitations and entertainment, business dinners, and that are two different things.
For the deputy mayor named Jin, given the current development status of Wangtan Town and his status, it is indeed normal for him to have many dinner parties. To put it a bit too much, it is not uncommon for companies to treat him to dinner and drinks every day.
But the problem is, it was obviously an appointment here, but you said you were meeting a guest temporarily. Is there anyone who meets a guest on such a temporary basis? You went directly to the wine table.
Deputy Mayor Jin didn't feel anything was wrong. After seeing Wang Wenjin, his eyes lit up and he reached out to shake her hand. He was a gentleman and immediately let go:
"This must be Jinhui's Mr. Wang, haha. I've heard of him for a long time. He is indeed young, promising and beautiful."
He said a lot of compliments without mentioning the fact that he was late.
Wang Wenjin forced out a stiff smile:
"Deputy Mayor Jin, nice to meet you."
Feeling unhappy, Wang Wenjin committed a taboo. Generally, if faced with a deputy leader, most people would deliberately omit the subtitle in the title, hoping to wish you an early promotion to a full-time position. , and also to make you feel more comfortable. This is the most basic rule in the workplace.
For example, take the Beixiang Management Committee. Jiang Jinlong is the deputy secretary of the Party Committee and director of the management committee. The secretary is still held by Zhou Shangquan until now. Logically speaking, the deputy secretary should be ranked first, but it is not nice to call him deputy secretary. , if called director, there is also deputy director Qian Guochang below, so Jiang Jinlong became Secretary Jiang, and Qian Guochang became director.
If you find a leader who is big-hearted or doesn't care, he won't find fault with the way you call him, but if you meet a small-minded person, your call will be remembered in his heart for a lifetime.
Obviously, Deputy Mayor Jin is the one who can remember you, but he has good expression control skills. The unpleasant expression on his face flashed away, but Quan Zhendong, who is good at observing people's expressions, caught it and guessed that this time today The meeting will most likely not go well.
Deputy Mayor Jin didn't bring many people here. Counting him, there were only three people with him. One of them was a driver, which was considered standard equipment, a driver, and a subordinate who protected the leader. To put it bluntly, they were used to stop the alcohol. .
After greetings, they were introduced to the box and seated. Deputy Mayor Jin was naturally placed in the main seat, with his subordinates on the right. As the host, Wang Wenjin, although reluctantly, sat on the left of Deputy Mayor Jin, and then went down. There are three female assistants, Quan Zhendong, and only half of the table for twelve people is occupied, which makes it seem a little spacious.
The dishes started to flow out, and the female assistant opened a bottle of wine on the table:
"Mayor Jin, would you like some white wine or red wine?"
"Hey, I won't drink in the middle of the day. I have to go to work in the afternoon. The impact will be bad."
This is just lying with open eyes. As long as you don't have rhinitis, you can smell the alcohol on his body, but what can you say? You can't force him to drink, but the atmosphere instantly becomes a little awkward.
However, although this female assistant is only an assistant to Wang Wenjin, it is natural that she can gain the respect and trust of the Wang family and her daughter and sit at the table. She ignored Deputy Mayor Jin's refusal and opened the wine. Without the slightest pause, he poured the wine into two wine dividers, stood up with a wine divider in one hand, walked to Deputy Mayor Jin, poured a glass of wine for Deputy Mayor Jin, and divided the wine into one. Putting the weapon in front of him, a hand rested on Deputy Mayor Jin's shoulder:
"Mayor Jin, you are the host here. We are friends who have come from afar. When friends come, they must have good wine. Now that we have good wine, we also have friends. I will accompany you for a drink first. I am not a good drinker. You It’s unjustifiable if I don’t drink.”
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the remaining wine dispenser in his hand.
The wine dispenser was filled with two ounces, and the female assistant didn't blush or breath after taking a sip, and she didn't even frown, which showed that the amount of wine she drank was not ordinary.
"Hey, take it easy, take it easy."
When the female assistant was toasting, Deputy Mayor Jin took advantage of the situation and patted the hand on his shoulder. When he saw the female assistant drink the wine in one gulp, his face became even redder, and he clapped his hands and cheered loudly:
"Okay! Massive amount, massive amount, then I'll have a drink with you, haha."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine in his glass and turned to Wang Wenjin:
"Mr. Wang, with this glass, I also welcome you on behalf of our Wangtan Town Government. Come on, come on, let's raise a glass. Welcome everyone, let's raise a glass together."
The banquet culture in China is basically like this. It’s pretty much the same. In this kind of situation, as long as it’s drinkable, you’ll basically drink it. Even Quan Zhendong, who doesn’t like this kind of culture, is no exception. A glass of white wine It tasted so spicy that he grinned a little, but he managed to suppress it after taking a bite.
What surprised Quan Zhendong was that he thought Wang Wenjin, a charming young lady, would find an excuse to avoid drinking, but he didn't expect that he was also a drunkard and drank three glasses of wine in a row.
As soon as the wine trail opened, Deputy Mayor Jin's previous promise of not drinking was invalidated. Wang Wenjin had already had three drinks. As a grown man, there was nothing he could do less. All of a sudden, he felt a little drunk and felt a little uncomfortable. The forbidden area leaned towards Wang Wenjin and said:
"Mr. Wang, to tell you the truth, the land you chose is a good piece of land. Many people are watching closely. You can also see the current development of our Wangtan Town. You want that land?" It’s not easy, the district has already issued the documents, and the second phase of the bidding meeting will be held, and the land you chose is also within the bidding scope.”
"Mayor Jin, that's not what you said before. When I communicated with the Wangtan Town Investment Promotion Office, there was no mention of a bidding conference."
Wang Wenjin tried her best to avoid Deputy Mayor Jin, but the news she heard made her heart sink.
The bidding conference is not the kind of auction where you are given a sign and asked to bid, and whoever bids the highest price will get it. In the end, the thing belongs to you when the hammer hits it. Instead, each company needs to write a plan that complies with the rules, or so-called The bid document lists the future plans and conditions one by one, and writes various additional conditions for the conference to score and select.
Explicit bidding can reflect the name of the company on the bid document. All parties will establish a good relationship in advance and strive for personal connections. However, hidden bidding has a series of technical requirements. The selection party does not know whose tender document belongs to it, although it cannot be completely eliminated. Cheating, but relatively fair.
If this bidding meeting is a hidden bid, then it's okay to say something. If it's an explicit bid, then Jinhui has no advantage at all, because Jinhui's base is not in Yongcheng and he has no connections. Coming here is equivalent to starting over.
Moreover, by participating in the bidding, compared with purchasing directly, Jinhui will have to pay more in order to increase the chance of winning the bid.
“This is what the district has decided, and no one can change it.”
Deputy Mayor Jin said:
"I came here this time to tell you that not only the district, but also the city is also very concerned about the future of Wangtan Town. Even the planning of the industrial park is done by the city, and Wangtan Town is independent. The power is not great. For some high-quality plots, the above will make unified planning and arrangements. If Mr. Wang can change a piece of land, then maybe I can still make the decision."
High-quality plots are actually around some main roads or larger plots. Deputy Mayor Jin said that he can make the decision. Those are basically areas of ten or twenty acres. For Jinhui , in such a place, even if Beixiang is not an option, it is better to continue to stay in the neighboring city.
"The bidding conference is currently scheduled for one month later. The time is still relatively tight. If Mr. Wang wants to participate in this conference, please submit the materials as soon as possible and pay a deposit of one million."
Seeing Wang Wenjin keep hiding, Deputy Mayor Jin felt a little bored and stepped back.
It’s not that he wants to have anything with Wang Wenjin. After all, although Wang Wenjin is a woman, she is also the boss of a large company. In terms of social status alone, he is a deputy director and cannot be matched by even a flatterer. He knows this well Yes, you can play around with it within the rules, but once it goes beyond the rules, if Wang Wenjin is really pissed off, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.
Wang Wenjin lowered his head and fell into deep thought. For a bidding conference of this scale, a deposit of one million is not much. Although if he does not win the bid, subsequent refunds may be a little troublesome, but the problem is that if he really wants to do this for this area Participate in this bidding conference?
As Quan Zhendong said, if there is a smooth road, is it worth it if you have to take the risk?
There is not much time left for Jinhui now. If Jinhui hits a wall here, the conditions in Beixiang will no longer be the same. Although she also has other alternatives in Yongcheng, and Or instead of going to Beixiang, go directly to the ancient city?
At this moment, Wang Wenjin felt a little shaken.
Wang Wenjin needed to think, so he changed seats with the female assistant. Deputy Mayor Jin didn't care. He drank and chatted with the female assistant, laughing from time to time without showing any discomfort.
Quan Zhendong saw all this and knew where the root cause of the current situation lies.
Wang Wenjin has found the wrong person from the beginning. The correct thing is to first find connections in the city, and then go to the local area, or find the textile giants here in Yongcheng, and let them match up and achieve win-win cooperation, but no matter which way, it will be a win-win situation. It was difficult. Wang Qilin should have seen this problem in advance, but he did not reveal it to Wang Wenjin at all, but was happy to let his daughter hit the wall.
The dinner ended very quickly. Not long after, Deputy Mayor Jin excused himself and left in advance. Wang Wenjin frowned as he didn't get the result he wanted.
"Deputy Mayor Jin is not the one who can make the decision."
Deputy Mayor Jin's departure made Quan Zhendong feel relieved, and he launched a fierce attack on the seafood that he usually rarely eats.
"Then why can you Beixiang make the decision?"
Wang Wenjin asked.
Quan Zhendong ignored it and bit a crab claw loudly.
"Say it!"
Wang Wenjin asked again impatiently.
Quan Zhendong could only put down the crab claws helplessly and said:
"Why don't you understand? It's because I need you here, so I have already communicated with the superiors. They don't need you here, so naturally they won't help you."
