Chapter 1153: An old comrade wants to see you

"Responsibility letter?" Mr. Zhang was stunned. He seemed to have never heard of it. After a cadre took office, he would still have to sign a responsibility letter with the provincial government.

"It's like this. At that time, our province was very dissatisfied with the economic development speed of Chu City. It happened that a problem had a problem with the new executive vice mayor. For the new executive vice mayor, a comrade proposed that a responsibility letter should be signed with the provincial government. Only by truly improving the economy of Chu City can we be qualified to serve as the executive vice mayor. Otherwise, we will have to return to the original unit. With such conditions, not all cadres dared to sign a contract with the provincial government." Chang Shikun said that at that time, Wei Gengyi of Chu City wanted to serve as the executive vice mayor, but in the end he did not dare to sign a contract with the provincial government.

"It seems that no matter what, there must be pressure, there is no motivation without pressure." Mr. Zhang said lightly. Without three points, he would not dare to go to Liangshan. Zhu Daidong's dare to sign a contract with Gunan Provincial Government, which shows that he is confident in his ability.

"Old Zhang said it incisively. Your body is still strong recently? I heard that your complexion is getting better and better. Now I can still drink some wine occasionally." Chang Shikun said with a smile.

"I'm in good spirits, but I drink secretly. Dr. Liu has warned me many times for this matter. I have no choice but to retreat, and I am more restricted." Mr. Zhang laughed.

"Doctor Liu is considering your health, and we are looking forward to attending your 100th birthday." Chang Shikun said with a smile.

"There are very few people who can live a hundred years old. I am already very comfortable now. Shikun, when he comes to Beijing in the future, he will come to see the old man if he has time. You don't know how lonely you are when you stay at home every day." Mr. Zhang said.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your criticism. I will definitely visit you when I come to Beijing in the future." Chang Shikun said.

From Chang Shikun, Mr. Zhang basically had a comprehensive understanding of Zhu Daidong. When he introduced Zhu Daidong to other old comrades, he felt confident. Just for the young comrade Zhu Daidong, Mr. Zhang also felt that he had the obligation to help him.

After Mr. Zhang came back in the afternoon, he gave Zhang Tianrui a task, asking him to invite Zhu Daidong to Beijing at the right time, and he wanted to meet Zhu Daidong. Although Mr. Zhang emphasized that it was at the right time, Zhang Tianrui knew that he should understand that he should let Zhu Daidong arrive in Beijing at the fastest time.

"Mayor Zhu, have you had time recently?" Zhang Tianrui gritted his teeth and called Zhu Daidong again.

"What instructions does Mr. Zhang have?" Zhu Daidong said with a smile. In the afternoon, he passed his files to Beijing. He was careful and asked several friends in Beijing to help find out what they needed to use their files. Later, he learned that Mr. Zhang wanted his files, and in the afternoon, Mr. Zhang met with a few old comrades, and he felt confident.

"There are a few old comrades who want to see you, and it depends on when you have time." Zhang Tianrui said.

"If the old comrade wants to see me, how can I just have my time? When will they have time? I will arrive at any time." Zhu Daidong said solemnly. At this time, you can't tease Zhang Tianrui anymore. If you really make him mess up, you will miss your own big things.

"The old comrades love you very much. I hope you can come to Beijing at the right time. They want to see you." Zhang Tianrui said sourly. He couldn't figure it out. The old man and Zhu Daidong had never met each other, so why did he think about seeing him? Moreover, Zhu Daidong made a big mistake in Muchuan. Even if his indium conservative policy won the recognition of the old men, there was no need to polite him like this, right?

"I'll take the plane to Beijing tonight. I'll ask Mr. Zhang to arrange it for me tomorrow morning." Zhu Daidong said quickly.

"I don't know if they have time tomorrow. Let's do it. You come first, and I'll arrange it later." Zhang Tianrui raised his lips gently and said lightly.

"Mr. Zhang, Hengtian Foreign Trade Company is preparing to be responsible for the import and export business of the Muchuan Locomotive Factory. I wonder if you have reported it to the old comrade?" Zhu Daidong said with a smile. It is normal for Zhang Tianrui to stretch him out. Zhang Tianrui was holding onto him. He was a little proactive, so he became a little excited.

"Oh, why did I forget this? Mayor Zhu, I have to ask you to mention this to them tomorrow." Zhang Tianrui changed his tone and said. Today was originally a double happiness, but when he was nervous, he forgot about this matter.

"No problem, Mr. Zhang is also supporting my work." Zhu Daidong said lightly.

Zhu Daidong hung up the phone and asked Wu Chengke to book the air ticket immediately. He had to book the plane tonight. If he took the plane to Beijing tomorrow morning, it was already past ten o'clock, and it was difficult to arrange to meet anyone at that time. Zhu Daidong himself immediately asked Zhou Baoning for leave. He, the acting mayor, has been in Muchuan for almost two months, but so far, he has not left Muchuan for a step.

Zhu Daidong and Zhou Baoning have been under great pressure these days. The provincial and central government leaders directly called their phones to their phones. As soon as they opened their mouths, they questioned them whether Muchuan City could afford the responsibility of destroying Sino-Japanese relations? This responsibility, neither Zhu Daidong nor Zhou Baoning, could be afforded.

However, Zhu Daidong did not believe that the Muchuan City's approach could destroy the relationship between China and Japan. The Muchuan smelter is not the only company in China that produces indium. The indium produced by the Muchuan smelter only accounts for 65% of the national output. Even if the Muchuan smelter only supplies five tons of indium per month, the national output can reach the original fifty-five every month. If all exports are exported, it can basically meet the needs of Japan, South Korea and other countries.

Japan has always wanted to import more than 70% of indium from China, not because Japan really has such a large demand. Because Japan is a country with a strong sense of crisis, only half of the indium they import from China is used for enterprise production. The remaining half is stored in the national reserve base in Ibaraki Prefecture. The Japanese industry believes that the reason why the political fu plans to include indium and rare earths as the statutory strategic reserve materials is not only rare, but also because these resources are controlled in China. If a considerable amount of indium and rare earths are not stored as soon as possible, it is easy to be controlled by others.

China and Japan have never been truly friendly. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan's ambitions towards China have never stopped. China has always been pursuing its grudges with kindness. And it is obviously not vigilant against neighboring countries such as Japan. The ancients said that if you can't let others sleep soundly when you lie next to your bed? But now because China is committed to economic construction, this sentence seems to be gradually forgotten.

"Is there anything wrong with going to Beijing?" Zhou Baoning heard Zhu Daidong go to Beijing overnight and asked. If possible, what he wants most now is to turn off the phone, but as the top leader of Muchuan City, his phone must be turned on for 24 hours and in places with signals. Even if it really reaches a signal blind spot, he must have a communication means to contact him directly.

"Didn't Zhang Tianrui come to Muchuan the day before yesterday? I gave him some information about indium and asked him to bring it back to Beijing for an event. I didn't expect that there would be feedback today. Some old comrades in the central government would like to hear our report." Zhu Daidong said that in fact, whether it is economic benefits or politically, China's indium cannot be bought by others so casually. If the country can strengthen supervision, it will also be a kind of protection for my country's strategic materials.

"Oh, then you have to go quickly." Zhou Baoning's face was happy. This was the best news he wanted to hear during this period. Zhou Baoning had also read the information about Indium. He believed that as long as Chinese people with conscience knew the importance of Indium to China, they would agree with Muchuan City's actions. Now Muchuan City mobilized its own media to gradually promote Indium, in order to make such news attract the attention of the upper-level leaders.

"Secretary Baoning, I think it's better for you to go to Beijing." Zhu Daidong thought for a while and said.

"You are the mayor, and of course you have to report to the political parties. And this is an informal listening to the report by the old comrade, or it is more appropriate for you to go." Zhou Baoning said. He did not have Zhu Daidong's divine ears, so he could not tell whether Zhu Daidong's words came from the heart or to appease him. But no matter what, from his point of view, it is the most appropriate to ask Zhu Daidong to report to Beijing.

When he first learned that the Korean and Japanese entrepreneurial delegations were coming to Muchuan to inspect the investment environment one after another, Zhou Baoning was happy from the bottom of his heart. When he talked about this matter to Zhu Daidong, he smiled and said that Zhu Daidong was simply the lucky star of Muchuan. When he came, foreign businessmen came to him on their own initiative. At that time, Zhu Daidong reminded him that he might not be so optimistic. These two groups of entrepreneurial delegations were probably drunk.

Later facts proved that as Zhu Daidong expected, these representatives of these companies came to Muchuan to inspect the investment environment, and buying indium from Muchuan was real. Some Japanese company even couldn't wait to express their willingness to cooperate with Muchuan smelter in the project of refining indium. The conditions in Japan were very favorable, and Muchuan did not need to invest a penny. The Japanese side not only provided all the funds and technology, but also underwritten all indium products at the highest price in the international market.

Zhu Daidong rejected this proposal at that time. The technology of the Muchuan smelter providing indium has reached the international advanced level. Even if Japan provides funds and technology, it is impossible to qualitatively improve the output of indium. In that investigation, Zhu Daidong revealed to the Japanese side that the price of the Muchuan smelter exporting Japanese indium products: three million US dollars per ton. This is fifteen times the highest price on the current international market.
