Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 319 Direct Negotiation

In negotiations, if the other party's cards are seen through, then naturally you have to put on airs and wait for the other party to make an offer. If you come to them eagerly to ask for projects, you can easily be manipulated by the other party. Given the super-national treatment enjoyed by foreign businessmen in this era, short-sighted leaders may bypass Qi Tongwei and directly agree to some bizarre conditions.

To avoid this situation, Qi Tongwei could only keep calm and wait for the other party to come while the current situation was still under negotiation with Jiangzhou as the main investment location.

Otherwise, once you take the initiative to negotiate, you may reveal your own cards, which will be detrimental to the outcome of the negotiations.

The second is to reduce the interference of those people in the province and prevent them from hindering our progress.

You know, the development of Dong'ou City in recent years has made the main leaders of the two sub-provincial cities in the province very angry. If another big project is implemented in Dong'ou instead of their side, it is unknown whether they will ruin the investment with some strange reasons, but this risk cannot be taken.

On the delegation side, this congressman must want to handle this in a low-key manner, and it is possible that he will make a decision at the last minute. At the same time, he has been talking with Jiangzhou City and will come here to confirm secretly. This leaves Qi Tongwei with a lot of room for negotiations.

However, he still made a small change, which was to go directly to the investment company to work every morning instead of going directly to the district government as usual. Anyway, for Qi Tongwei, all of them were his territory, and people who came to report on their work would follow him all the way.

He uses investment companies as his main venue as a means to reduce the impression that he has a government background. From the perspective of the object of the commercial behavior, there is a huge difference in perception and meaning whether the contract is signed with a government agency or a listed company.

Qi Tongwei stayed in the investment company for three days, and there was no movement on the business group's affairs. Qi Tongwei kept asking people from The Paper Equipment to contact the business group in the name of business liaison. Although there were replies, there was no substantial progress.

There was no useful information coming from Jin Xinkai, which made Qi Tongwei, who was sitting in the investment company, a little uneasy. At this moment, he seemed to have lost his source of information. All he could do was wait, and waiting was always a frustrating thing.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei was reviewing the instructions from the district party secretary. Several important tasks required him to implement personally. After Gao Yuliang came, he seemed to be keeping a tighter eye on Qi Tongwei.

You know, the former district party secretary Jin Guodong rarely took the initiative to communicate with Qi Tongwei on work matters, and he himself rarely came to the new district.

Jin Xinkai and Qi Tongwei have a good personal relationship, but at the same time he may be a little lacking in self-confidence. He is quite convinced of Qi Tongwei's personal ability and gives him great autonomy.

In the past, no one interfered with his work, and he decided on his own when to report his work. However, Gao Yuliang's arrival changed all that.

Gao Yuliang felt that Qi Tongwei had become too complacent in his overly smooth career, and had become unruly in his work and behavior. He was also a shrewd person who was good at shirking responsibility and shifting the blame, and had lost the sense of responsibility he had in the past.

As Qi Tongwei's teacher, Gao Yuliang was deeply grateful to Qi Tongwei for bringing him into the legal expert group. He felt it was his obligation and necessity to discipline Qi Tongwei more. In the eyes of others, Qi Tongwei was an old official in his twenties who did things flawlessly and was a bit arrogant.

But in Gao Yuliang's eyes, he is just a child, whom he brought up, and now he has grown a little bit crooked, and the result is like this. Gao Yuliang has to ask more or less about Qi Tongwei's work.

From time to time, he would call him over to scold and educate him. This was the case with the forwarded instructions. For many of the tasks that Qi Tongwei had handled, Gao Yuliang would go over to report and check them carefully. If there were any that needed to be corrected, he would immediately forward the instructions down.

Whether as the head of the district committee or Qi Tongwei's mentor, Gao Yuliang has done a very good job. Even Jin Xinkai said that Qi Tongwei should have been well disciplined by Gao Yuliang long ago.

At this time, the instruction forwarded by Gao Yuliang still involved the resettlement of several dangerous houses in Xiaqiao Street. It clearly required Qi Tongwei to participate in the whole process, report the progress, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property, and never let the people suffer any losses.

This gave Qi Tongwei a headache. He felt like a man in his forties who was still being nagged by his parents on the phone. However, Gao Yuliang was very familiar with the organization's systems and procedures, and was extremely smart, so there was no way to fool him.

Just when he was worrying, there was a knock on the door. Qi Tongwei just said "Come in" and lit a cigarette, and then he saw the young congressman who was half Chinese walked in directly without anyone notifying him.

"Councilman Chen, how did you get in? Why didn't my staff tell me?"

The congressman was still dressed casually. He was tall and strong, more than ten centimeters taller than Qi Tongwei. He shrugged and sat down.

“I hope Mr. District Mayor will not blame them, they were busy, I just came in directly.

But this is not relevant to the point of our conversation, and I hope we can get to the point quickly.

Can I have a cigarette? You know, the cigarettes sold abroad are all export versions. The taste is much worse and they taste no different from Marlboro.

I think it would be great if I could bring a few boxes back with me when I go back.”

Qi Tongwei didn't care about anything and just leaned back and relaxed in the boss chair. He bought it for several thousand dollars and it was very comfortable.

"I remember that when you go through customs, you can't bring too many cigarettes, or they will be confiscated."

"Hey, rules are made for the majority of people.

No matter who you are or what organization you are in, you must first learn the rules, then master the rules, and finally slowly start to modify the rules.

Coincidentally, I am now at the stage where I have learned the rules and started to master or ignore certain rules.

Bringing some cigarettes is no big deal for me personally.

Mr. District Chief, please don’t worry about that.”

Qi Tongwei's pupils contracted instantly. This passage almost ran through the life of this future big boss. When he was a policeman, he was familiar with the rules. Then he gradually began to master the rules when he became a politician. Until the very end, when others were investigating his criminal evidence, he actually amended the relevant laws.

This directly made him a synonym for evil in the eyes of some people. The shadow government that controlled the system damaged his image and prevented him from running for president.

Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and continued.

"Mr. Congressman is a wonderful person, but your tricks don't work in this country.

I think you should be very clear about this, so tell me, what is the purpose of your visit today."
