Chapter 166 You're awesome!
Regarding the marketing matter, the leaders of the Agriculture Department were very satisfied with Dawei's reply.
Next, Director Ye raised another issue: talent.
Because the plan for Yuanshan County involves many professional aspects such as architecture, agriculture, design, marketing, and operations.
Yuanshan County is not like a big city; it is located in a remote area and there is a shortage of highly skilled personnel.
Where can we find so many professionals?
Fortunately, David had prepared in advance, so this problem was not difficult for him.
After its establishment, Yuanshan Fruit Industry Company became a state-owned enterprise, and its senior executives were all formally employed, making it easy to find such executives.
The challenge lies with middle-level managers and professionals who perform specific tasks, such as brand designers, agricultural breeding specialists, and copywriting specialists.
David plans to collaborate with universities and leverage his status as a CUHK alumnus to find talented students among his juniors and seniors.
People recruited in this way have a certain level of trust with each other. Based on their trust in Dawei and Yuanshan County, they might be willing to come to this remote mountainous area of Yuanshan County if the compensation is right.
He has a good relationship with his advisor, who will do his best to find suitable candidates for Dawei.
"I didn't expect County Chief Chen to be so thoughtful." Director Ye of the Agriculture Department nodded slightly in praise: "As for talent, there's no need to worry too much."
There are many agricultural experts at the provincial level.
We can send one or two people over to help you get things started.
The meeting atmosphere entered a more pleasant and relaxed phase.
Then another colleague from a provincial department poured cold water on the idea.
"The project is a good project."
To be honest, among the projects supported by our provincial department over the years, your project has the greatest development potential.
However, at this stage it is just talk on paper and has not been put into practice.
Implementing the plan is the most difficult part.
In other words, there are still risks involved.
Considering factors such as risks and the need for balanced development across different regions, the provincial department plans to reduce its support for Yuanshan County.
We support the plan you submitted for approval.
However, the intensity wasn't as great as you might imagine.
I may have to disappoint you.
The other party paused here, keeping everyone in suspense.
Ding Tingting seemed even more anxious than Dawei and the others, gripping her teacup tightly with both hands.
Wu Maocai smiled, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead; finally, he was getting to the specific numbers.
Dawei nodded calmly: "I understand. With a special fund of 1 billion yuan, so many counties need support, it's difficult for the provincial government as well."
Seeking the middle leads to the lower; seeking the upper leads to the middle.
This was a strategy that David and Wu Maocai had planned long ago.
The plan mentions an application for 2.3 million yuan in support funds, which is an overstatement. Only Wu Maocai and Dawei know the details.
The comrade who poured cold water on the idea smiled faintly: "The department can only provide you with 1.8 million yuan in funding; you'll have to raise the rest yourself. Can Yuanshan County manage that?"
As soon as the numbers came out, Wu Maocai gripped the armrest of his chair tightly. This was wonderful!
David looked worried: "It's quite different from what we expected..."
But it's okay.
We will overcome all difficulties and do everything we can to raise the remaining funds.
With a shortfall of fifty million, we can tighten our belts, or recruit foreign investors, overseas Chinese, domestic banks, or private capital, etc. There's always a way.
"Right, Director Wu?"
He looked at Lao Wu, indicating that Lao Wu could give his assurance.
Wu Maocai immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem, no problem."
The provincial department has given us tremendous support, and we, Yuanshan County, can't put the provincial leaders in such a difficult position; so many other counties are desperately in need of assistance.
Director Ye led the applause, and the meeting ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
After the meeting.
Dawei, Tingting, Maocai, and Lao Er came out of the building and walked towards the parking lot.
Wu Maocai, carrying his bag, walked close to Dawei, his eyes showing a hint of timidity and fear. He raised and lowered his hand and said in a very low voice, "County Magistrate—County Magistrate Chen!"
I, Wu Maocai, have truly had my eyes opened today.
You're awesome!
You're awesome.
Just like that... just like that, with a few quick moves, you made 180 million!
My goodness!
Dawei chuckled and patted Wu Maocai on the shoulder, signaling him to hurry up so he wouldn't burst out laughing and make the leaders see.
Once in the car, Tingting sat in the passenger seat and said, "What would you like to eat later? It's on me."
Lin Yunxing turned to look at the two leaders in the back seat.
"It's my treat, it's my treat," David said politely with a smile.
Wu Maocai had a sudden inspiration and glanced at his watch: "Master Lin, didn't you say that the car was going to be serviced at a 4S shop in the provincial capital?"
I also need to go back to the hotel to finish some work.
County Chief Chen, would you please have lunch with Director Ding?
I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you.
They were clearly doing Dawei a favor, but they insisted on saying it was hard work.
Ding Tingting is clearly a section chief, but she insists on calling herself director.
Lin Yunxing didn't quite understand, but Director Wu was an expert in official matters, so learning from him wouldn't be wrong.
David simply nodded without saying a word.
The car slowly drove out of the compound.
"How about we go eat the wonton noodles we had last time?" Tingting suggested.
Seeing that Dawei nodded in agreement, Ding Tingting directed Lin Yunxing to drive.
When they arrived at their destination, Dawei and Tingting got out of the car.
Lin Yunxing and Wu Maocai, not wanting to be third wheels, immediately evacuated.
"Do you like the wontons here?" Dawei looked at the wonton noodle shop in front of him and remembered that he and Tingting had eaten here last time.
"Yeah, you don't like it?"
"I like it, I like it. It's just that this place is so ordinary. Would it be impolite to invite you to eat here?"
Tingting took off her handbag, slung it over Dawei's shoulder, put her hands behind her back, and strode towards the noodle shop like a triumphant general, saying in a deep voice, "Little Wei, serve him."
David smiled wryly, but still quickly ran inside, wiped the stool for Tingting, asked her to sit down, and then eagerly poured her some water.
It's fair to say that Ding Tingting deserves 80% credit for Yuanshan County's successful acquisition of 1.8 million yuan in agricultural special funds.
Although my colleagues in the office worked hard, their hard work was insignificant compared to the value of personal connections.
Suffering has no threshold.
Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to serve this young lady.
Dawei was happy to serve him like this, and he was willing to serve him as long as there were more opportunities like this. He didn't care as long as it was good for Yuanshan County and as long as it helped him achieve his goals.
David also knew that Ding Tingting was just joking and teasing him; the girl was a bit unruly and mischievous.
The wonton noodles arrived, and Tingting looked at Dawei with amusement, asking, "Do you know why I chose to eat here?"
