405: The Little Calculations of the Top Two Leaders (Part 2)

Facing their puzzled gazes, Xu Minghao gestured for the two of them to go to Wang Zhongyu's Office to talk.

Although the two felt that Xu Minghao's behavior was a bit strange and abnormal, they still followed him into Wang Zhongyu's Office.

Xu Minghao looked at the two and said, "Zhongyu, the reason I stopped you from knocking on the Secretary's Office door is that when I left just now, the Secretary already told me that he won't see anyone for now.

He told you to guard the door and not to let anyone in to report work to him, no matter who they are."

Wang Zhongyu was very surprised, because Lin Zifeng had never done this before; such an action was even more abnormal than Xu Minghao's behavior, but he nodded and agreed, as this was his job duty.

Li Yuhang, however, said with a puzzled face, "Mayor, what does the Secretary mean by this?

Doesn't the Secretary know I am waiting outside?"

"He knows! I told the Secretary. In order to pave the way for you in advance, I specifically mentioned the shareholding ratio you requested," Xu Minghao said with an open and honest expression.

"What did the Secretary say? Did he agree? Mayor, give me the bottom line, why won't the Secretary see me?" Li Yuhang asked several questions in a row.

"Why do you think? Isn't it because the request you made was too greedy?

The Secretary's exact words were that the shares of the Yingjianzui Scenic Area are all held by Heping Town, and the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have never thought of meddling in them.

This time, the City Level brought in investment, and your Heping Town still wants to open its mouth like a lion. The Secretary said that you, Secretary Yuhang, are too shrewd, and it really angered him.

Just now, the Secretary said that the one billion investment doesn't need to come from Heping Town's treasury; it will all be covered by the City Level's treasury, and Heping Town can forget about shares.

However, you must still provide sufficient help and services to the investors. If you dare to slack off or create trouble, you will be held accountable."

Xu Minghao said all the things he had agreed upon with Lin Zifeng in one breath.

Hearing the news Xu Minghao relayed, Wang Zhongyu felt even more confused, because Lin Zifeng was acting too strangely; he hardly recognized his own leader.

"Mayor, you can't be serious! Not only did the Secretary give me the cold shoulder, but he also doesn't want our Heping Town's investment?

If that's the case, how can I explain this to the Cadres and masses of Heping Town when I go back?" Li Yuhang said with an anxious look.

Seeing that Li Yuhang had lost his composure, Xu Minghao chuckled inwardly while thinking that although Li Yuhang was also a very excellent young Cadre, he was still a level below the Secretary!

Just in terms of keeping one's composure, Li Yuhang was a level below the Secretary.

Thinking of this, Xu Minghao continued, "Secretary Yuhang, please calm down. The Secretary was very angry at first.

But later, the Secretary considered that you were also fighting for the interests of Heping Town, fulfilling your duties in your position, and that you only had the public interest at heart without any selfishness, so he was very understanding of you.

I also persuaded the Secretary on the side, so the Secretary said that your Heping Town can invest one billion, but 51% of the shares must be held by the Municipal Government.

Once the Film and Television City and its derivative industries become profitable, you can be given a 10% dividend share for Heping Town every year.

This is already the greatest concession the Secretary has made for Heping Town. If you are still not satisfied and the Secretary changes his mind, even if I want to help you then, I won't be able to do anything."

Hearing the news from Xu Minghao, Li Yuhang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you, Mayor."

"No need to thank me. I'm heading back first; we still have an Ad Hoc Standing Committee Meeting this afternoon, and I have some work to deal with.

I advise you not to provoke the Secretary's bad mood either; you should go back too!"

After saying this, Xu Minghao turned around and walked out with large strides, showing no intention of leaving together with Li Yuhang.

The reason Xu Minghao did this was that he was afraid of laughing in front of Li Yuhang and revealing the truth at the final moment.

Li Yuhang had no intention of leaving with Xu Minghao either, but instead looked at Wang Zhongyu and said, "Director Wang, have you noticed that both the Secretary and the Mayor are acting a bit strangely today?

The Secretary actually gave me the cold shoulder; I even wonder if what I heard just now is real."

The reason Li Yuhang called Wang Zhongyu "Director Wang" was that Wang Zhongyu was not only Lin Zifeng's Secretary but also concurrently served as the Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, a proper section chief level Cadre enjoying deputy section-level treatment.

Hearing Li Yuhang's question, Wang Zhongyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Secretary Yuhang, I cannot comment on your suspicions.

Others may not know the relationship between you and the Secretary, but as the person closest to the Secretary, how could I not know?

I am the leader's Secretary; keeping my mouth shut is my most basic principle. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Hearing Wang Zhongyu's reply, Li Yuhang nodded in agreement, reached out to shake hands with Wang Zhongyu to say goodbye, and then turned and left.

On the way back to his Office, Li Yuhang recalled everything that had just happened, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong; as the saying goes, when things are abnormal, there must be something strange going on.

When he returned to his Office and was left alone, he muttered to himself, "These two big shots were actually working together to put on a show for me!

It must have been hard for them. A 10% dividend share actually meets the expectations I had with the Heping Town leadership team."

I shouted that Heping Town wanted 15% of the shares just to be prepared for bargaining. Investing one billion and being able to get a 10% profit share for Heping Town every year is already very good.

As for whether the equity is in the City Level or in Heping Town, what does it matter?"

Speaking of this, the corners of Li Yuhang's mouth curled up, revealing a silent smile.

He thought happily to himself, I didn't expect that classmate of mine from the Party School would have such an unknown side! I've discovered another interesting side of him.

Given Zifeng's usual behavior, even if he said it himself, no one would believe that he would join hands with the Mayor to act out a play.

Regardless, the result is good; without wasting words, the goal was achieved, which is more direct and effective.

Thinking of this, Li Yuhang laughed heartily.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the Office; otherwise, upon seeing Li Yuhang like this, they would have been shocked and would definitely have thought he had a mental breakdown.

The Ad Hoc Standing Committee Meeting started on time in the afternoon, with only one topic: the investment in the Film and Television City's derivative industries.

Every Standing Committee Member expressed their opinions and was very optimistic about the prospects of these project investments, so this three-billion investment was passed unanimously at the Standing Committee Meeting.

The Ad Hoc Standing Committee Meeting lasted less than an hour before Lin Zifeng announced the adjournment.

Lin Zifeng was the first to stand up and leave the conference room, and the others also left the conference room one after another, chatting and laughing.

Standing Committee Member and Vice Mayor Li Yang walked beside Li Yuhang and said with a smile in a low voice, "Congratulations, Secretary Yuhang.

Your Heping Town invested one billion, and you can get a 10% profit share every year. I am sure that once the Film and Television City is developed and built, it will become another pillar of fiscal revenue for your Heping Town."

After thanking him, Li Yuhang said, "You don't know, Mayor Li, this was something we at Heping Town fought hard for. It was almost rejected by the Secretary and the Mayor."

The clever Li Yuhang said this intentionally because he was afraid that if other townships encountered such situations in the future, their Cadres would make an issue of today's event and leave the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government open to criticism.
