As the director of the industrial park, Tan Bin certainly knows more about the park than Lin Hao, making him the best choice to explain it.
"Chairman Ma, what you see before you now is the main factory area. The equipment in this area has been mostly installed..." Director Tan Bin began his explanation.
Chairman Ma and his entourage followed closely, nodding continuously and occasionally asking a couple of questions.
Of course, President Liao Jiarong would supplement with some actual data on the side, enough to corroborate Director Tan's materials, making it sound more convincing.
Lin Hao stayed by Chairman Ma's side the whole time, circling around the industrial park, and checking out a few other companies that had moved in before returning to the meeting room.
This meeting was held at the industrial park, naturally presided over by Director Tan.
As the Vice County Magistrate, Lin Hao was naturally the first to speak.
"Respected Chairman Ma, leaders of the Red Era Group, on behalf of the County Party Committee and the County Government, as well as the people of Wucheng County, we welcome you!" Lin Hao finished speaking and started the applause.
Clap clap clap...
Immediately, a thunderous applause ensued, and it lasted for a long time.
"Red Era Group is a leading enterprise in new energy batteries, and its presence in Wucheng County has injected new vitality into our economic development..."
"The economic development of Wucheng County shall rely on the five-year economic development plan of Wuning City, striving to double in three years. We will also provide Red Era Group with adequate policy support and perfect the upstream and downstream industrial chain facilities..."
Lin Hao gave a high evaluation of Red Era Group, expressing a strong commitment to support the group's development and complete industrial chain.
The second to speak was naturally Chairman Ma, who first expressed heartfelt gratitude to Wucheng County Government for valuing this project so greatly.
After briefly passing over that point, he immediately moved on to discussing the construction and installation of the new factory plant, providing Liao Jiarong with some valuable advice and urging her to continue her efforts and complete the supporting facilities for the production line as soon as possible.
More importantly, Chairman Ma announced the group's new appointment for Liao Jiarong, appointing her as one of the company's general managers, with full responsibility over the operations of the Wucheng County branch, establishing her authority and command over the area.
This appointment was somewhat unexpected, yet also within expectations, as this place would be the main battleground for Red Era Group in the coming years, and Liao Jiarong's position needed to be solidified.
Representing the branch, Liao Jiarong spoke about her shortcomings at work and laid out a general strategy for leading the branch's development.
It was clear that Chairman Ma was very satisfied with this inspection, especially with the attitude of the Wucheng County Party Committee and the County Government.
Upon hearing that Lin Hao was in charge of the new energy project, he was filled with confidence in the branch's development.
After the meeting concluded, everyone drove back to Hilton Grand Hotel in the county seat, where Lin Hao, on behalf of the County Party Committee and the County Government, hosted a banquet for Chairman Ma and his party.
Li Jingyi originally planned to return earlier, but as the meeting extended, she couldn't make it back in time, so Lin Hao had to entertain Chairman Ma in her stead.
In the luxury private room of the Hilton Grand Hotel, over twenty people sat around a large round dining table.
Since today was for Chairman Ma's visit, the reception standard was naturally very high, with the table filled with delicacies.
And as Chairman Ma enjoyed wine, Wucheng County did not hold back, offering their fine wine for the occasion.
Seeing everyone seated, Lin Hao slowly stood up.
"Chairman Ma, Secretary Li asked me to apologize to you as she is in the city for a meeting and could not be here personally to host you. She expresses her deepest regrets."
Lin Hao slightly bowed to Chairman Ma, expressing Secretary Li's apologies.
"County Magistrate Lin, Secretary Li is being too polite. We're all old friends here, so you're making me feel embarrassed," Chairman Ma said with a hearty laugh.
"Today, on behalf of Secretary Li, as well as the County Party Committee and the County Government, I toast to the esteemed Chairman Ma and the leaders of the Red Era Group, and to all colleagues present. Let us drink this cup dry!" Lin Hao said with a smile, raising his glass.
Chairman Ma stood up first, and the others followed suit, raising their glasses for a distant toast, and drank it all in one go.
"Chairman Ma, please enjoy the food!" Lin Hao put down his glass and invited.
"Please!" Chairman Ma picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
After eating for a while, Lin Hao put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Chairman Ma, you should propose the second toast."
"Sure!" Chairman Ma raised his wine glass and stood up.
"First, I thank Secretary Li and County Magistrate Lin for their warm hospitality, and the enthusiastic people of Wucheng County. I feel an inexplicable familiarity here, possibly because our Red Era Group has taken root and begun to thrive here..."
"Secondly, I thank President Liao and her colleagues at the branch. It is your hard work that has opened a new battlefield for us..."
"Lastly, I wish Wucheng County's economic development to reach a new level, and I wish Secretary Li, County Magistrate Lin, Director Cheng, and Director Tan to have all their wishes come true and good luck always..."
"Let's all raise our glasses; let's drink to that!" Chairman Ma said loudly, raising his glass high.
Clap clap clap...
Applause thundered as everyone stood up, raised their glasses, toasted each other from afar, and drank it all.
Everyone happily sat back down and continued to savor the delicious food, until Lin Hao looked at Liao Jiarong and signaled for her to make a toast.
Liao Jiarong was embarrassed and shook her head vigorously, appearing very modest.
"Chairman Ma, I think the third toast should be proposed by President Liao," Lin Hao said, looking at Chairman Ma.
Chairman Ma turned to Liao Jiarong, smiled, and said, "President Liao, County Magistrate Lin is right; you've worked hard here, please share a few heartfelt words."
Seeing the chairman's suggestion, Liao Jiarong finally stood up slowly, raised her glass, and said loudly, "Respected County Magistrate Lin, respected Chairman Ma, leaders, and colleagues, first of all, I thank the Wucheng County Party Committee and County Government for their attention to our branch and for giving us enough policy privileges and subsidy measures..."
"Secondly, I thank Secretary Li, County Magistrate Lin, Director Cheng, Director Tan, and many leaders for supporting our work..." The young lady even bowed slightly to everyone after speaking, expressing her gratitude.
"Lastly, I thank our branch colleagues. It is your day and night work that has brought about today's favorable situation; however, we must not slack off and continue fighting for one hundred days to successfully complete the tasks assigned to us by the group..."
"Nothing more to say; all is in this drink. I toast you..."
As soon as the young lady finished speaking, everyone enthusiastically applauded, stood up, and raised their glasses, clinking them together, and the atmosphere became lively.
It must be said that President Liao's speech was also very remarkable, which made Chairman Ma feel very pleased.
