Section 31 The Mayor's Responsibilities

"You want to find Gong Hanchang? For your company listing?" Liu Qiao didn't expect that it was approaching the age of the year. Zhao Guodong flew to Beijing not to see Liu Ruotong who had just returned, but for business. He was a little unhappy. However, the other party's serious and persistent attitude made it difficult for Liu Qiao to refuse. After all, if a person who is in the career of the officialdom is really unwilling to do something practical, then it would be false to go to a higher position.

"Well, Sister Four, you also know the situation of the enterprises in our city. The machine tool factory is stuck on the listing and has never been able to pass the preliminary review. Now facing a critical moment, I have to come and ask you for help."

Zhao Guodong actually knew that Liu Ruotong had just returned, so he took this opportunity to fly to Beijing, which was considered as a matter of public and private considerations. However, this year was the busiest time in the city, and he had to have a good reason to leave. It just so happened that the machine tool factory was undesirable. If there was no reliable letter before the New Year, the indicators for the year-round may fall on other companies.

"It's not easy for Gong Hanchang to see him. You know that they don't see anyone easily on the CSRC this year. But I remember Gong Hanchang was in the Fund Supervision Department. Your affairs should belong to the Issuance Supervision Department, right?" Liu Qiao frowned slightly, but his eyes fell on the bright red nails on his hands, as if he was carefully observing the fineness of the nail polishing.

Zhao Guodong keenly felt that Liu Qiao seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't know where the other party was not very satisfied with him.

As soon as you enter the capital, Zhao Guodong can immediately feel the atmosphere here. No one pays attention to you. Walking on the street, any taxi driver talks about is anecdotes of ministerial cadres. An ordinary person emerges from any building on the streets and alleys, who is also a department-level cadre. He is the Mayor Huaiqing in Beijing, and he is a role that is lost to everyone after just one stroke.

Liu Qiaocai flew back from Hong Kong and almost met him.

China United Investment has many projects in the mainland, but it does not invest much in industry. It is mainly focused on projects such as financing and loans, and is concentrated in industries such as transportation, energy, and real estate that are rich in profits and require strong political connections. It is a comprehensive financial institution role that is both a speculator and an investor, and the components are also quite complex.

Zhao Guodong was not very clear about how Liu Qiao got involved in China United Investment and served as the executive director, but he learned from Liu Ruotong that this probably has something to do with Liu Qiao's original husband's family and her own abilities.

"It belongs to the issuance and supervision department, but we have to go through his line to find the main person. The CSRC has a deep threshold. Those people are cold characters who are above the top and often keep people from thousands of miles away. It is difficult to get in touch. The mayor in charge of our city has run thin and has not seen anyone in charge. Time has passed, and he has invested a lot of energy, let alone expenses. He is still a bit angry about this matter. Zhao Guodong said with a wry smile: "I know it is a chore, but I can't stop coming."

Hearing Zhao Guodong complaining and Liu Qiao shook his head, it was not easy. No matter how capable Zhao Guodong is below, it would be difficult to encounter such a layer of approvals that go straight to the sky. Some things cannot be solved by just spending money. When you mention the pig's head, it depends on whether you have the ability to walk into the temple gate. It is useless to just burn incense outside the temple gate.

"Okay, Gong Hanchang would definitely not have time to use you Pan Heng before the New Year. In this way, I will call him and give him a secret about your affairs and ask him to help you arrange it first. I guess you will have to have some actions on your side. Since it is stuck in the preliminary review, that means you have to take out some different things and send them to it. Do you understand what I said?"

Liu Qiao's tone was a little tough, as if he was explaining to a business subordinate. Suddenly, he thought that a company of such a size in Canglang Group could play with this guy. How could he not find such a thing again?

Zhao Guodong really didn't care about Liu Qiao's tone.

Liu Qiao has helped herself a lot in attracting investment, especially when several Taiwanese-funded companies and Corning, the United States, entered Huaiqing, all her shadow flashed behind her.

China United Investment’s strong financing capabilities and strong connections in the mainland are also the main reasons why Taiwanese and foreign-funded enterprises are willing to deal with it. It is precisely because this familiar role is the most popular among foreign capital. With them as a matchmaker, it can help foreign-funded enterprises overcome the shortcomings of being unacceptable to the local environment as soon as possible, so that they can enter the mainland most conveniently to achieve normalization of production and operation.

Seeing Liu Ruotong curled up on the sofa with a lazy look, a thin quilt covered her feet, and a huge teddy bear leaning against her, Zhao Guodong was a little dazed for a moment.

It has been a long time since he and Liu Ruotong came here. This residence in Huaao Center is considered a luxury house, which is more like a passerby station for the two of them. They come and go in a hurry.

The room had obviously been cleaned up and the fresh flower arrangements were placed in the living room, floating warmly in the hall, as if two more people were added, and the residence was revitalized.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ruotong noticed Zhao Guodong's expression and asked in surprise.

"Nothing." Zhao Guodong shook his head. During the period when Liu Ruotong was out, Zhao Guodong had also been to Beijing and stayed here for a while, but he only felt like a hotel. Why did he seem to have a lot of nostalgic taste in his memory because of one more person? "Sister Four, I think I feel a little bad, I don't know who provoked her?"

Liu Ruotong smiled slightly and said nothing. The fourth sister told her that she rarely came back to rest for a while. Zhao Guodong actually asked about business first when he returned to Beijing. This made the fourth sister very unhappy and felt that Zhao Guodong was too hypocritical and boring.

In fact, Liu Qiao was a little wronged by Zhao Guodong. Zhao Guodong met her when he arrived in Beijing. The two even sat in the cafe for half an afternoon, which can be regarded as "disliked each other" after the separation.

The two still maintained the feeling of respecting each other, but Liu Ruotong also found a faint feeling of family affection flowing between the two, as if entangling them together like a bond, so that they actually had a desire to leave in the cafe.

"The fourth sister is very busy, running around alone, and she is unwilling to give in. She has to achieve success when she wants to do anything. China United Investment's executive director position pays the fourth sister the salary every year, and the fourth sister is definitely worth it." Liu Ruotong changed her position on the sofa. The "News Broadcast" on TV is introducing the achievements made by the Chairman of the National People's Congress visiting India, especially the visit and investigation of software, information industry and cultural undertakings.

"Well, I have to thank my fourth sister, too. His help to me is very important."

Although Zhang Yijing helped Zhao Guodong contact Renbao, Quanta and the elites in the early stage, the follow-up promotion of both parties was Liu Qiao working hard. It was the threading and threading of China United Investment that enabled these companies to be able to get along with Huaiqing very smoothly. The entry of Corning in the United States added a highlight to the Huaiqing Economic and Technological Development Zone. This company mainly produces optical cables with a high technological content has a higher technological content than Renbao, Quanta, which is more growth-oriented, and is also a company that Zhao Guodong is quite optimistic about.

"Don't say, the country really needs some companies like China United Investment. With their foreign investment, it will be easier to enter the country, especially inland areas. The cooperation between the mainland government and foreign investment will be smoother and more efficient, which can effectively resolve conflicts and avoid some suspicion between the two sides."

Zhao Guodong also found that China United Investment has unique effects in this regard. Moreover, China United Investment has now begun to enter the operation of mainland enterprises going to Hong Kong and the United States to go public, especially for some private enterprises with better growth in China. Liu Qiao also asked if there are any suitable companies in Huaiqing to recommend them so that China United Investment can operate. However, they are not very interested in state-owned enterprises, especially those with poor growth and historical burdens.

Liu Qiao even asked if Canglang Group had any plans to go public abroad. Zhao Guodong recommended the Tao brothers’ Xinglang Tourism Development Co., Ltd. to Liu Qiaopo. Liu Qiaopo was interested and had officially contacted the Tao brothers. It is estimated that the official operation stage will soon begin. However, Zhao Guodong did not make any statement on Canglang and only asked Liu Qiao to contact Zhao Changchuan directly.

According to Zhao Changchuan's idea, Canglang Group's overall listing is not suitable, but it can choose to split some of Canglang's industries at the right time to list, such as Canglang Water Industry.

Zhao Changchuan, now in the high growth stage, clearly stated that he had no intention of going public. The huge profits made by the pharmaceutical industry in the past two years have threatened the position of the main business, the water industry, and the profit margin has improved by leaps and bounds.

Canglang Bioengineering Co., Ltd. has been like a giant monster who spits gold since its completion and production, continually contributing high profits to Canglang Group. Coupled with the steady expansion of the two major manufacturers of Anhui Zhong Pharmaceutical and Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical in the field of basic medicines, Canglang Pharmaceutical's development momentum is at its peak.
