South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 374 Luo Shibin

"Secretary Yuan, it's like this. The city has been trying to attract investment. Recently, an investor came back from the south. His hometown is Harbin in Northeast China, and he wants to come back to Harbin to invest."

"Oh? That's a good thing. If you want to invest, just invest. The environment is good now." Yuan Mu was even more confused. If he wants to invest, just let him invest. Why are you reporting to me? Even if my position is more valuable than yours, there's no need to report to me, right?

"Secretary Yuan, it's like this. This investor wants to invest in our Daoli District, but Daoli District is your territory." Zhou Bingyi said with a laugh.

"Hey! Deputy Mayor Zhou, that's not what you say. I'm just the secretary of Daoli District. This is not my territory. Don't say that!" Yuan Mu quickly stopped him.

"Yes, yes, look at me. I said something wrong at this moment. I apologize for it."

"Okay, if this investor wants to invest, then come. What does he plan to invest in?" Yuan Mu didn't want to talk to him about anything else and went straight to the point.

"Secretary Yuan, how about this: you come to the Municipal Party Committee and we can talk face to face?" Zhou Bingyi asked tentatively.

"Oh, this is unfortunate. I have to hold a meeting for my subordinates. You only know that there are too many things to do in Daoli District. How about another day?" Yuan Mu rolled his eyes. Let him go to Zhou Bingyi? What a joke, he is not Zhou Bingyi's subordinate!

Zhou Bingyi on the phone paused for two seconds, and then his voice came again.

"Secretary Yuan, how about I bring the person to you?"

"That will probably be in the afternoon. Come in the afternoon. I'll spare some time to meet the investor in the afternoon." Yuan Mu thought about it and agreed. He couldn't keep going against Zhou Bingyi. The other party had already taken a step back, so there was no need for him to keep pressing on.

Although Yuan Mu looked down on this person, after all, the other person had not offended him, so there was no need to make enemies easily.

"Okay, that's settled. See you in the afternoon." Zhou Bingyi said and hung up the phone.

On the other side, in the Municipal Party Committee, in Zhou Bingyi’s office.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Bingyi felt a little annoyed. This Yuan Mu really didn't give him any face at all. After all, he was the executive vice mayor and Daoli District was under his jurisdiction. He refused to come and see him even though he was asked to.

But Zhou Bingyi quickly adjusted his mood. There was nothing he could do. Yuan Mu was also a member of the Municipal Party Committee. Daoli District was the best proof for him. They had joined the Standing Committee much earlier than him and were ranked higher than him. He seemed to have no capital to challenge Yuan Mu.

Forget it, he must implement this investment promotion. This is his political achievement and cannot be interfered with by external factors.

So he picked up the phone and called his secretary.

"Xiao Wu, please make some arrangements. I have to go to the Daoli District Committee at 2 pm."

. . . . . . . .

Afternoon, Yuan Mu’s office.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

"Leader, Vice Mayor Zhou is here."

"Oh? Please come in." Yuan Mu stood up immediately when he heard this. No matter what, he still had to give the respect that was due.

Then Zhou Bingyi walked in with a smile on his face, followed by a man with a long face.

"Deputy Mayor Zhou!"

"Secretary Yuan!" The two men smiled and walked forward and shook hands warmly. If you didn't know them, you would think they were just close friends.

"Please take a seat! Xiao Song, make some tea!" Yuan Mu greeted warmly.

"Secretary Yuan, there's no need to trouble you. I'll introduce him to you." Zhou Bingyi smiled and pointed to the man standing next to him.

"This is the boss who came back from the south. His name is Luo Shibin. He is a native of Harbin. He came back this time to contribute to the development of his hometown."

Luo Shibin? Hearing this name, Yuan Mu looked at this man carefully. It seems that there really is such a person in the world? A gangster who raped Zheng Juan. This guy has become a boss?

"Hello, Secretary Yuan, I'm Luo Shibin, you can just call me Xiao Luo." Luo Shibin was a little surprised when he saw Yuan Mu, not because of anything else, but because the man in front of him was too young, probably much younger than him.

"Ah, hello, Mr. Luo." Yuan Mu shook hands with him with a smile on his face, and then the three of them sat down.

After Song Zian brought in three cups of tea, he left the office and closed the door.

"Mr. Luo, what kind of business are you doing in the south?" Yuan Mu took out a cigarette and gestured to the two of them and asked.

Zhou Bingyi waved his hand and did not take the cigarette because he did not smoke, but Luo Shibin took it and helped Yuan Mu light the cigarette.

"Secretary Yuan, I just do some electrical appliances and clothing business."

"I heard from Vice Mayor Zhou that your business is quite big?"

"It's okay, just a small fight." Luo Shibin smiled modestly.

"Then I wonder why Mr. Luo chose Daoli District as the investment location?"

"To be honest, I have been back to Harbin for a while. During this period, I have been traveling around. If I were to say which area has the best economy in Harbin, it must be Daoli District developed by you, Secretary Yuan. In more than two years, the GDP of Daoli District has increased more than ten times from scratch. I have to say that it is all thanks to your good leadership." Luo Shibin flattered Yuan Mu.

In fact, it stands to reason that investors with sufficient funds like Luo Shibin would be warmly received by local governments wherever they go, but Yuan Mu really doesn't care about this little money, because over such a long time, the number of investors coming from Daoli District is at least 80 if not a hundred, and there are many wealthy ones.

He could be enthusiastic towards Luo Shibin, but it was far from possible for him to go up to him and lick him, because he had no shortage of funds. Daoli District was a treasure now, and the price of a piece of land was several times more expensive than any other area in Harbin, and the price was still rising.

Yuan Mu was confident that if he was allowed to continue serving in Daoli District for two years, he would be able to drive the economic development of the entire Harbin city.

"Hey! Mr. Luo, you are too polite. This is not just my credit. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have given me a lot of help, otherwise I would not have been able to do it." Yuan Mu laughed.

When Luo Shibin heard this, he immediately complained in his heart, damn, these officials are all the same, and the official jargon they use is really disgusting. Although he thought so, the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

He has been investigating Daoli District for quite a long time. The environment here is so good. Not only is the population dense, but the sales industry conditions are also very good. Most importantly, there is little competition. After all, Daoli District has been developed for too short a time, and many companies have not yet settled in. This is his opportunity!
