Fang Sheng said: "I have an idea for the cost of building a canteen. The project will be handed over to the urban investment company first and the funds will be advanced. After the canteen is completed, it will be handed over to a private contract. Of course, it must be open for bidding. Every year, the contractor submits a part of the profit to reduce the investment. It is estimated that the cost will be digested in at most five years. What does County Mayor Li think?"

Li Jianfeng was a little confused.

Li Jianfeng sounded very unfamiliar to the terms of urban investment companies to undertake construction, open bidding, and contracting canteens. For many years, he has become accustomed to using administrative means to solve problems and has never thought about taking the path of marketization.

"What is the difference between handing the canteen to the contractor... and going to a small restaurant for dinner?" he questioned, "Businesses always pursue profit maximization. Can they ensure that the materials are used carefully and food safety?"

Fang Sheng smiled and said, "We will have a series of supporting requirements and measures to restrict and regulate canteen operations, such as irregular random inspection of seasonings, raw materials for dishes, hygiene inspection, regulating prices and profits, etc. The difference between it and small street restaurants is that the service target is all staff of the agency, mainly working meals, home-cooked dishes, light taste, and meal supplement services will be provided at night. In the future, small-scale meetings, official activities, training, etc. in the county will be eaten in the canteen, and provincial and municipal leaders will inspect it... Which one should be handled as appropriate, anyway, no drinking is allowed at noon on weekdays, and it will be the same where to eat, right?"

Li Jianfeng frowned. He thought that building a canteen was just Fang Sheng's casual talk. Several county party secretaries had mentioned that he had suppressed them. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by Fang Sheng without any misunderstandings as soon as he raised his objections, so he said vaguely:

"Since this is the case, I will arrange the office project establishment process and ask the urban investment company to start planning. The urban investment in Shunba is also very poor. Whether it can take out the money is also a question..."

"If you don't have money to borrow a loan from a bank, what are you afraid of with the credit of the official government as a guarantee? It's not that you can't afford to pay it back," Fang Sheng said easily, "You can't delay the issue of food and clothing. I thought about it. This work is not intended to involve the energy of the official government. I asked Director Qi to take the lead in establishing an infrastructure team, and I serve as the team leader, and Director Qi serves as the deputy team leader. What do you think? Do you want to ask you to have a deputy team leader for coordination?"

How could Li Jianfeng be ranked as deputy team leader with section-level cadres? He shook his head and said, "Since Secretary Fang is in charge personally, what else can he worry about? I just notify the relevant departments to cooperate with him."

When he left the door, Li Jianfeng was full of cowards and blamed himself for underestimating Fang Sheng. He was beaten by the other party in case of insufficient preparation. Not only was his opinion rejected, but his infrastructure rights were taken away. This was obviously the matter that the official government should be responsible!

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Director Qi and President Su of the Urban Investment Company were called to the office. Fang Sheng repeated what he said to Li Jianfeng and emphasized:

"The process needs to be done but the project cannot wait, so it can be carried out simultaneously. In the afternoon, Mr. Su went to Qingshu to ask the Municipal Design Institute to get a simple plan, and then asked the engineering cost office to make a budget, so as to strive to bid for the whole city next Monday; Director Qi began to go to relevant departments to go through the procedures in the afternoon, and he must go through the procedures, and one thing that should be left out!"

As soon as the words fell, Director Qi and President Su looked at each other, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong? What's Mr. Su's opinion?"

"No, no, just..." Mr. Su said hesitantly, "Shunba's project has never been tendered, at most, we can find a few local companies to negotiate..."

"How can this be true?" Fang Sheng said with a calm face, "What documents stipulate that the project must be done by locals? Take it to show me!"

Director Qi quickly smoothed out: "No, no, mainly because," he paused for a moment and used a very clever word, "The protectionism here is serious. Even if the foreign engineers get the project, some people go to the construction site to cause trouble all day during the construction process, steal steel at night and cause damage. Over time, no one dares to come."

Fang Sheng sneered: "If I dare to invite others, there will naturally be a way to make the construction smoothly. Otherwise, will there be a king's law in Shunba? Do as I said!"

After the two left, Fang Sheng first called Xu Jingyao's cell phone and said, "I'm really sorry, I always think of you whenever there is a dangerous business."

Xu Jingyao laughed: "Secretary Fang was joking! To be honest, the value of Mr. Mu and others is really nothing, but it is really exciting to follow Secretary Fang to fight wits and courage with his opponent. Give me instructions, what fun business is there this time?"

Fang Sheng then said the canteen project and said, "You go to Qingshu to register a construction company immediately. You are familiar with the specific operations anyway. You must win the bid at a low price and get the project steadily!"

"I understand!" Xu Jingyao said.

Then he called Ye Yun again, and after answering it, he said without further comment: "The new task is here! I will go to Qingshu City to register an agricultural and sideline products trading company in the afternoon. Of course, it would be better if I could buy shells and buy shares. That would be seamless and experienced marketing and acquisition personnel, and bring all the troops to Shunba on Friday to prepare for a tough battle!"

Ye Yun laughed crisply and asked, "Where is the hard battle?"

Fang Sheng couldn't hear her pun. He cursed secretly and said seriously: "The purchase of agricultural and sideline products is controlled by evil forces of the local gangster. You are actually robbing their cheese, so..."

"Ha, are you going to fight?" She was so happy that she asked immediately, "Is Bai Ling here? I guess she won't miss it."

"She is responsible for protecting my safety and it is not convenient to show up in public. You take the lead in this matter!"

"no problem!"

After making two calls, Fang Sheng felt relieved slightly. With the arrival of Xu Jingyao and Ye Yun, he no longer fought alone. This feeling was very good.

Two days later, Fang Sheng took the initiative to provoke conflicts, and the focus was what Xiao Dong mentioned.

There were only ten minutes left before getting off work in the evening. Fang Sheng suddenly notified the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee and required all county standing committee members and deputy county magistrates to attend.

Didn’t I say that I have focused on research and not meetings recently? Li Jianfeng and others were full of suspicion, but convening meetings was the power of the county party secretary. Even Li Jianfeng, who was calling the wind and rain in Shunba, could not do anything.

The small conference room was filled with people all of a sudden. Many county leaders habitually took out cigarettes to distribute them. Then they were stopped by Director Qi with a smile and pointed to the newly made sign in front of Fang Sheng’s seat:

Smoking is strictly prohibited in the conference room!

Then he put away the cigarette box and said mockingly that the new official will be in office.

At about 6:00 p.m., Fang Sheng walked into the conference room on time, looked at the venue, and said with a smile:

"The space is too small. Everyone insists on it for a few more days. The planned canteen on the second floor is going to build a conference room that can accommodate hundreds of people, which will be spacious by then."

Li Jianfeng raised his eyebrows: "Calligraphy and conference room, then the project name cannot be called the canteen."
Chapter completed!
