It has to be said that although the CZ city government has relatively strict requirements for technical experts, it has done a flawless job in dealing with human relations.

As the saying goes, even if the deal fails, there is still friendship. Regardless of whether the cooperation is successful or not, certain compensation will be given. The compensation amount of 2,000 yuan can indeed be regarded as full of sincerity. Compared with ordinary people, it is already their salary for several years.

However, Xu Qiang obviously did not think highly of this little bit of money. From the beginning to the end, he came here just for the 50,000 yuan reward. Otherwise, he would not have planned to take action at all.

"If my product is not good enough, or if you want to terminate the cooperation, I don't want the two thousand yuan!" Xu Qiang replied very straightforwardly, and then he continued: "You should use the two thousand yuan to treat others. You can't accept gifts without doing anything. Besides, you have also treated me to a meal, so it's not in vain."

"Huh?" Zhang Li was stunned when she heard Xu Qiang say that. After a moment, she said, "Comrade Xu Qiang, do you think we gave you too little?"

"Two thousand yuan is already a high compensation, but I'm here for the fifty thousand yuan." Xu Qiang smiled and continued, "What I mean is that although our cooperation this time may fail, I would like to continue to participate if there is a new project next time. After all, I'm not a god. The country has put all its strength into developing airplanes and rockets, and there are still times when mistakes are made, don't you think?"

Xu Qiang's meaning was very clear, that is, even if this project was not successful, he was willing to continue to maintain contact with the CZ Municipal Government.

As long as he maintains this relationship with the local government, Xu Qiang will definitely have more opportunities to make money in the future.

In addition, during his recent visit to Changzhou, Xu Qiang discovered that there are more township enterprises here and they are larger in scale than he had imagined. This also shows that the local government attaches great importance to the development of township enterprises and has very good policies.

Therefore, if possible, Xu Qiang also wants to register here or directly invest in a company in the future. At that time, he will definitely have to ask for help from the local government of Changzhou. With government leaders as his backing, he will not get into trouble due to policy issues in the future.

Precisely because of these considerations, Xu Qiang would rather give up the two thousand yuan and continue to maintain a "friendly" relationship with the Changzhou government.

"That's right!" Zhang Li smiled and said, "Comrade Xu Qiang is indeed a man who has seen the world. It is our honor to make friends with such an outstanding talent like you."

"As the old saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out." Xu Qiang glanced at Zhang Li and said, "If you need me in the future, I will be there for you. We should all be considerate of each other. I think if I need help from your CZ City Government in the future, you will definitely not refuse..."

"Haha, Comrade Xu Qiang is indeed a national expert, and his mind is really extraordinary." Zhang Li obviously saw Xu Qiang's thoughts and said with a smile: "In fact, I always feel that you don't look like a technical expert, but more like a shrewd businessman."

"Whether I'm an expert or a businessman, I just want to use the skills I've learned over the years to give my family a good life..."

"You are doing very well now. You have won the National Technology Award at such a young age. Your salary must be much higher than that of ordinary people, right?" Zhang Li said.

"That salary is far from enough..." Xu Qiang shook his head.

"Huh?" Zhang Li was shocked when she heard Xu Qiang say that. "I'm telling the truth, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the initiative to seek cooperation with you." Xu Qiang paused and continued, "I want to have my own factory in the future, but the chemical industry requires a lot of investment, and it may take tens or even millions of dollars in the early stage. And if possible, I want to develop in Changzhou. I wonder if Director Zhang can give me some advice..."

Through his interactions with Zhang Li over the past few days, Xu Qiang has already realized that this woman is extraordinary.

Although he was only the deputy director of the Township Enterprise Management Bureau, considering that he was able to become a deputy-section-level cadre at such a young age, it would be almost impossible without an impressive academic qualification or a strong background.

In addition, in her previous conversation with Mayor Xue Zhiqin, Xu Qiang could also hear that he valued and relied on Zhang Li.

Moreover, at the last dinner hosted by the Changzhou government to welcome Xu Qiang, Zhang Li sat next to Xue Zhiqin, and other leaders were also very respectful to her, which was obviously something unusual.

So in Xu Qiang's opinion, Zhang Li is at least a core figure in the CZ Municipal Government who can participate in major decision-making.

Xu Qiang naturally wanted to make friends with such a person.

"Millions of dollars in capital? You're going to set up a factory in Changzhou? Are you kidding me?" Zhang Li asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm not kidding." Xu Qiang shook his head and said, "It's just that I don't have that much money right now, so I still need to keep working hard."

"It's good to have ideals, but if ambitions are greater than abilities, it will be very painful." Zhang Li smiled and continued, "As for your desire to develop in Changzhou, we welcome you, but based on the current policy, it's impossible for you to set up your own factory. Although our policy on township enterprises is relatively relaxed, if it's a private enterprise, unless you are a foreign investor or overseas Chinese, forget it..."

"What if I'm just affiliated with your company? Can you provide some convenience?"

In fact, Xu Qiang knew that it would be impossible for him to start a private enterprise in Changzhou. After all, the country has not yet issued relevant policies. Although there are some private enterprises in the country, they are all run by Hong Kong capital or overseas Chinese.

Therefore, Xu Qiang's real intention was to find a affiliated enterprise in Changzhou. Relying on the opportunity of cooperation with the CZ Municipal Government, he could move his dye factory in Jiangxi directly here and let them help him solve the business procedures and affiliation issues, so as to develop in the long term around Shanghai.

"It's very difficult to set up a factory. It's not easier than developing technology..." Zhang Li glanced at Xu Qiang and said, "But if you can make some contributions to our Changzhou, we are also willing to help..."

"Uh." Hearing this, Xu Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"In short, it depends on how much you contribute to Changzhou. For those truly useful talents, we will also be very generous. Not to mention affiliation, we can also provide land, factory buildings, and even funds for factory construction!" Zhang Li raised her eyebrows and said. (End of this chapter)
