Chapter 1604: Xiongqi Banquet

my monthly pension contribution was about 1,500 yuan." 。When they heard this number, all the leaders of Baoyuan County were stunned. They had all heard that there was a big gap between the east and w...Since Jin Qiao had said so, Ge Xian couldn't object. He said, "Since Secretary Jin has said so, let's go together!"Zhuang Yimin and other small and medium-sized enterprise bosses were overjoyed. To be able to have a meal with the provincial Party secretary and leaders from Huajing *** was undoubtedly the highlight of their lives so far. Besides, their businesses all hoped to develop and grow. Getting even a little bit of help from such big leaders would be a great boon. 。Of course, they are also very clear that the opportunity they have received is thanks to the insistence of Secretary Xiao Zheng of the Municipal Party Committee. 。Ge Xian, who once served as the Party Secretary of Dongcao City, deliberately excluded them. Xie Ziqiang, the current Mayor and who arranged for them to attend the meeting, didn't say a word on their behalf either. 。Only Xiao Zheng fought hard for them and succeeded. 。Even small and medium-sized enterprise bosses are human beings, they need face and dignity. 。The other leaders didn't really care about them, only Xiao Zheng treated them as people, as guests! That's very difficult. 。When the leaders from Hua Jing *** and the provincial government walked onto the stage, the CEOs of Nabai Electronics Zhuang Yimin, Mingren Apparel and Luggage Enterprise Liu Mingren, and Dongcao Jewelry Company Jin Baitang exchanged glances and nodded at each other. Then, the three came to Xiao Zheng's side together, bowed slightly, and said in unison: "Secretary Xiao, thank you for securing opportunities for us!" Xiao Zheng smiled at them and said: "It's normal for you to attend a meeting and have dinner together." 。This isn't 'fighting for', this is 'it should be'. 。Liu Ming said, "Before I didn't know that Secretary Xiao valued our small and medium-sized enterprises so much. We were a bit rude in some places, please forgive us!" Zhuang Yimin and Jin Baotang also said, "Please forgive Secretary Xiao!" Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, those don't matter. The most important thing is to run your businesses well, overcome the difficulties, and solve more employment issues for people. This is what the municipal party committee expects from you, and it's also my hope for you. Other things are not a big deal! Our interactions can be more casual, just like friends." 。All three were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Secretary Xiao!" Xiao Zheng said, "Let's go eat." 。Then, Zhuang Yimin, Jin Baotang, Liu Mingren and others followed suit. 。This dinner was held in the banquet hall of Dongcao Reception Hall, with a total of 8 large tables. The atmosphere was lively and warm, with courteous service. However, the dishes didn't focus on high-end cuisine or exotic delicacies, but rather on Cantonese-style home-cooked meals. The cost per table was kept under 1500 yuan; the drinks included palatable and affordable Jinye Mi Zhe wine along with other mid-range white wines and red wines, allowing everyone to choose their preference. 。Xiao Zheng had already contacted Ye Sujing through their mental connection, hoping that guests from the Xin Hua Group, Ya Chuan Group, and Xiangjiang Yu Family could all attend the banquet. 。Ye Sujing immediately reported to Xiong Qi, the secretary. Secretary Xiong said: "Since Comrade Xiao Zheng made such a request, there must be his reason. Let's do it his way." 。Ye Sujing also quickly reported to Governor Fan Qihang, since Xiong Qi had said so, Fan Qihang did not express any objections. After all, it was just a dinner, and it was a normal working banquet, not involving any core interests, there was no need to object. 。When a delegation led by Jin Chaoqiong, Deputy Secretary and Deputy Director of the Beijing Development and Reform Commission, entered the banquet hall, Xiong Qi, Fan Qihang, and other guests were mostly in place. They then took their seats according to their status as host and guest. 。The main table is a large one, and the other seven are tables of ten. 。Bear Flag's head, Jin Chao's host, Fan Qihang, Tu Guangliang and others sat down together. The secretary-general of the provincial committee, Ye Sujing, arranged Jiang Yu's family head, Yu Tianhai, Chairman of Xinhua Group, Hua Jiafu, Chairman of Yachuan Group, Richjiang Shun, President of Nabai Electronics, Zhuang Yimin, President of Mingren Clothing and Luggage Enterprise, Liu Mingren, and President of Dongcao Jewelry Company, Jin Baitang, at the main table. 。Xiao Zheng proactively went to another table to accompany other guests. Ge Xian and Xie Zichang originally thought they would sit at the main table with important leaders, but Ye Sujing reminded them: "Governor Ge, Mayor Xie, we should also go to other tables and accompany the guests." 。"Xiao Zheng went to the side table. At the main table, Secretary Xiong and Governor Fan didn't mean for them to stay. Ge Xian and Xie Ziqiang had no choice but to go to another table to accompany other guests." 。Besides, there were Tu Dongfeng, who had previously accompanied the visiting delegation with his wife, Cui Tingjian, who had just arrived, and a top leader from the provincial department. They all went to different tables to accompany the guests. The 30 brand designers and 20 brand packaging experts brought by Yu from Hong Kong also had someone accompanying them. 。。Before Ye Sujing could speak, Xiong Qi spoke up: "Three bosses, please have a seat here" 。Today, our leaders Secretary Jin and Director Tu are here to conduct research on the development of **Es. So, you are the protagonists! That's why you should be seated at the main table. 。Moreover, regardless of your company's size, you have all been contributing to the local development over the years, solving employment issues and making both achievements and sacrifices. 。So, don't have any psychological burden, just eat happily here! "

Xiongqi's words made Zhuang, Liu, and Jin feel very comfortable, and they all said in unison, "Thank you, Secretary Xiong, for your concern!" Then, everyone sat down, Ye Sujing went to Xiongqi's side, and said, "Secretary Xiong, everyone is here, before the meal, please say a few words!"

Xiongqi nodded, stood up, and said straight to the point: "What I want to say most is welcome, warmly welcome" 。First of all, we would like to welcome the delegation from Huajing led by Secretary Jin! Your investigation has brought us both pressure and motivation! We will definitely turn pressure into motivation and better promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises!" Everyone applauded together. 。Claps 。Bear Flag then said, "During the Beijing research team's visit to our Guangdong province for research, the renowned business tycoons from Hong Kong, Yu Tianhai, Yu Zhui and Yu Zhuer, along with a large group of designers and brand packaging experts, came to Dongcao for an inspection, to strengthen cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong and achieve win-win development. I would like to extend my warm welcome to you all!"Applause erupted, and the Yu family father and sons stood up and bowed slightly to everyone. 。Xiongqi welcomed Hu Jiafu, Xiao Huahua, Fu Jiangshun, Zhao Yunya and others again, and everyone applauded. 。Bear Qi again said: “When the shadow of the financial crisis has not yet dissipated, our Guangdong province too needs confidence, too needs strength, too needs connections, to form a raging fire to break through the gloom! And you all came from afar at this time, you are here to help in times of need, which is very precious>>> 。We believe that "many hands make light work." With our own tireless efforts and your enthusiastic help, Dongcao's economic transformation and Yuezhou's economic recovery are sure to undergo a stunning transformation and rebound from the bottom. 。That's all I have to say. 。“Thank you all very much!”

Everyone applauded enthusiastically for Xiong Qi's passionate speech! After the applause subsided, Xiong Qi turned to Xiao Zheng at another table and said, "Comrades Xiao Zheng, you are the host today. Many friends gathered here today because of you. You should say a few words!"

The meaning was quite clear: Today, so many bigwigs gathered in Dongcao, whether it was with money, effort, or ideas, it was all related to Xiao Zheng. 。Credit goes where credit is due. As a leader, it's crucial to establish this principle first and foremost. 。In this regard, Xiongqi is unambiguous. 。However, to Fan Qihang, Tu Guangliang, Ge Xian, Cui Tingjian and others, this sounded quite uncomfortable. 。However, in such situations, they are also not good at expressing anything. 。"I see Xiao Zheng stand up and say:"Thank you, Secretary Xiong" 。Then I'll say two things: first, I am very moved. 。First of all, I was totally surprised to see so many friends here at Dongcao today. This shows your care for me and even more importantly, your support for Dongcao. 。Next, I would like to express my gratitude to Secretary Xiong and all the leaders for treating my friends with such kindness and joining us for dinner. 。"Today, with eight tables present, this is the first formal banquet I've attended since arriving at Dongcao!"etary Jiang has time!" Jiang Kuigang said: "Then it's settled..." >>> 。Chen Qingshan said: "Yes" 。"Jiang Kuigang asked again: “By the way, today Comrade Gu Cuiping of the Jiangzhong Aid Ning Command c...
