Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 314 Ephedrine

Guo Xiaopeng said with a hidden veil, "Secretary Gao, Secretary Qi, we businessmen really don't have any secrets in front of you leaders."

"Mr. Guo, please don't misunderstand me. You know, in China, whether it's officialdom or business, there's an old saying that applies: 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never be defeated in a hundred battles.' Proper background checks are also for the purpose of better understanding the likes and dislikes of leaders and friends, to ensure that you don't make some low-level mistakes."

Guo Xiaopeng nodded in agreement, "You are right."

Gao Yuliang interrupted at the right moment and said, "Mr. Guo, Comrade Tong Wei heard that your company needs to relocate and build a new factory, so he came here with sincerity."

Guo Xiaopeng seemed very satisfied: "You can see that I like people who are sincere. I think we will have a pleasant conversation."

The woman standing behind Guo Xiaopeng said, "Secretary Gao, Secretary Qi, and Director Guo, I think it would be more pleasant for everyone to sit down and talk in the conference room."

Guo Xiaopeng echoed, extending his hand to invite them, "Yes, both of you, please."

Led by Guo Xiaopeng, the negotiation team went to the conference room together.

After entering the conference room and sitting down, Guo Xiaopeng began to introduce the two one by one: "Secretary Gao, Secretary Qi, this is Liu Mei, the vice president of our Haizhou Pharmaceutical and the general manager of Haizhou Building.

This is Lu An, vice president of Haizhou Pharmaceutical.

This is Lin Xiaoliang, assistant to the president of Haizhou.

This is…”

Every time Guo Xiaopeng introduced them, someone would stand up and nod to the two of them.

Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, there are so many talented people here."

"Thank you for the compliment." Guo Xiaopeng bowed slightly and said modestly.

After the pleasantries, everyone got down to business.

Qi Tongwei said: "Mr. Guo, upon learning that your company is going to relocate and rebuild, our county committee held an emergency meeting.

During the meeting, we agreed that if your Haizhou Pharmaceutical is relocated to Jiangchang, we will provide you with no less than one thousand acres of industrial land free of charge.

In terms of taxation, you can be exempted from taxes for one year and 50% of taxes for three years."

Guo Xiaopeng said bluntly, "Secretary Qi, your sincerity is great, but among the many competitors, it does not stand out."

Qi Tongwei certainly knew that apart from himself, no other county or city wanted to bring Haizhou Pharmaceutical over. Some people even offered three years of tax exemption and 50% tax for ten years.

Qi Tongwei said, "This is the greatest sincerity I can show. Of course, as you know, a chief official's term of office is generally three to five years. I cannot ignore the interests of my successors and the people for the sake of my own political achievements."

In fact, there is another reason, which is that the pollution caused by pharmaceutical companies is not small. Of course, as the leading pharmaceutical company in the city and a well-known pharmaceutical company in the province, its means of controlling and dealing with pollution are mature and still within the controllable range.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei has always held the attitude that if I gain it, I am lucky, and if I lose it, I am doomed.

Guo Xiaopeng's eyes lit up, and he praised, "There aren't many officials like you who can consider those who come after you."

"This isn't something to be praised. In China, every Party member should have this awareness. If I've been selling land for ten years, my successor will follow suit and sell land twenty years from now. When they run out of land to sell, they'll undoubtedly turn to ordinary people. This is not what I want."

“But even if you don’t, you can’t guarantee that your successor will be as principled as you.”

"This is beyond my control." Qi Tongwei smiled and asked, "Mr. Guo has lived in other countries. Do you have any good ideas?"

Guo Xiaopeng seemed to be thinking seriously, and finally shook his head: "No, the national conditions are different, and many things are only of reference value, not worth copying.

As for Haizhou Pharmaceutical, I cannot influence the future successor's ideas. I can only hope that I can live longer."

Everyone laughed.

Qi Tongwei said, "I thought Director Guo would tell me a perfect system."

Guo Xiaopeng spoke eloquently, “Failure to enforce the system is more harmful than having no system at all.

British priest Robert Burton also said: There are certain exceptions to any rules, and there are no absolutely universal rules.

Especially in our land of China, what we are best at is breaking rules and regulations.

The same law can even lead to two interpretations. I have had the honor of witnessing this.

A young man who suffered from bullying by his teacher when he was a student, met the devil who cast a shadow on his childhood one day many years later. He slapped the devil without hesitation, but was sentenced to more than a year in prison.

The other was a woman who slapped a veteran, but the punishment she received was only a fine of one thousand yuan, and the damage she caused was even greater than that of the young man.

So the system is not reliable.”

Qi Tongwei thought of Kong Feng again and nodded unconsciously.

Feeling Qi Tongwei's recognition, Guo Xiaopeng felt very satisfied.

Deep down, Guo Xiaopeng looked down on those officials who spoke in official language, but Qi Tongwei gave him a completely different feeling.

Maybe it's because both are equally good.

Or maybe Qi Tongwei is different from those officials who always talk about the people but never consider the people when making decisions.

Guo Xiaopeng developed a strong interest in Qi Tongwei.

"Getting back to the point, I still really hope that Mr. Guo can go to Jiangchang for inspection and investment. Of course, even if he doesn't invest, I welcome Mr. Guo to go there and experience the local customs and people of Jiangchang."

Guo Xiaopeng raised his eyebrows, "Sure."

Next, Gao Yuliang suggested visiting Haizhou Pharmaceutical, and everyone left the meeting room in unison.

When he arrived at the production workshop, Gao Yuliang was amazed by the pharmaceutical company's advanced production line.

"Mr. Guo, I've visited many companies, and your Haizhou Pharmaceutical production line is arguably the most advanced. I think it will still have a place in the industry even a dozen years from now."

At this point, Guo Xiaopeng explained with great interest: "Secretary Gao, to be honest, I spent a lot of money and effort to build this production line.

All machines operate according to established procedures. Simply input commands into the main control room, add raw materials, and a steady stream of new drugs will roll off the production line."

Qi Tongwei also praised: "No wonder Mr. Guo's Haizhou Pharmaceutical has been able to grow step by step. The foresight of the leader alone is unmatched by ordinary companies."

Guo Xiaopeng smiled slightly, "You're too kind."

The group quickly reached the raw material area. When they saw a small mountain of raw materials, Qi Tongwei recognized it immediately: "Ephedra!"

Guo Xiaopeng was slightly surprised. "I didn't expect Secretary Qi to know about ephedra. Are you a medical student?"

Qi Tongwei replied, "No, I graduated from Handong University of Political Science and Law. It was just that the needs of my work at the time required me to learn a little more about drugs."

Guo Xiaopeng suddenly realized, "Yes, ephedra is the main raw material for methamphetamine. The country has always had very strict management of ephedra, especially for large private enterprises like mine. Even if we have the proper approval documents, it is not easy to obtain them."

Qi Tongwei joked, "With such a large amount of raw materials and an advanced production line, if Mr. Guo wants to produce methamphetamine, he can probably produce several tons in just one day."

Guo Xiaopeng remained calm and said, "You're joking. I don't think anyone in China has such courage."

"makes sense."
