Chapter 784: Chapter 532: Giving You 50
The Linghai Boat is an old and small vessel, really not much to look at.
Han Yu has been very tired recently and didn’t really want to go, but he was specifically named by Secretary Ye to visit the officers and soldiers of the Linghai Navy, even considering it as a kind of reward, so he couldn’t just snub the offer but had to go along.
After comforting the "Linghai Navy" and returning to Sanhe, he originally thought his work relationship had not moved from the Police Bureau and he would continue to receive his salary there, but Shi Shengyong said that although his work relationship was still at the bureau, his salary was now transferred to the Management Committee.
What kind of operation was this, does it comply with relevant policies?
However, the development zone is already a "weird creature" where the current institutional arrangements don’t really comply with regulations, so Han Yu could only listen to Shi Shengyong and hurry over to the Party and Government Office at the Management Committee.
Others’ salaries and bonuses had been issued long ago, but his were delayed because he accompanied the city leaders to comfort "the navy of Linghai," so the Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office helped to collect on his behalf. As he looked at the thick stack of money in the pay slip and envelope, Han Yu was both happy and a bit incredulous.
Deputy Mayor Shen just happened to be in the office, so he simply took his salary and knocked on Deputy Mayor Shen’s office door, asking Deputy Mayor Shen if there might have been a mistake.
"There’s no mistake, it should be exactly that much."
"That’s way too much, is it even according to regulations to take this much money?"
"It’s totally in accordance."
Deputy Mayor Shen opened a drawer, took out a document outlining standards for bonuses and investment attraction commissions for the development zone’s cadres, and with a smile explained, "The bonuses are differentiated into four grades. You’re a Deputy Director-level cadre, so you belong to the second grade, same as Xiao Tang and others at 5,306. The subsidies are the same too, adding up to 1,802 in total."
Looking at the document, Han Yu asked, "What about the commission for attracting investment? Why do I have two payments?"
"This is the commission for bringing in President Zhang and President Shen to invest in Linghai. President Zhang and his wife invested two hundred thousand US Dollars in our development zone. As a reward, you get one percent of the total investment, which happens to be 16,600. This is the reward for bringing in Cosco to invest and build a factory in Linghai. Since you were only involved, you can’t get one percent of the total investment, but how it’s calculated, you’ll have to ask the Investment Promotion Bureau later. In any case, on the Cosco side, it’s 4,500."
"What about these 2,000 yuan?"
"That’s the towage fee for the major repair of foreign vessels. Even if you don’t go onboard for piloting, you still have to pay someone for the towage. Besides, we’ve charged tens of thousands for towage this time, giving you 2,000 is not too much."
Bonuses, subsidies, commissions for attracting investment, towage fees, plus the salary for December 1997, in total he actually received 30,873 yuan!
Aside from when he served on the ocean-going merchant ships, Han Yu had never held so much money; he was momentarily stunned.
Deputy Mayor Shen knew he was scared to take it and laughed, "For bonuses and subsidies, you’re in the second grade, which is not the highest. At a glance, the commission from attracting investment may seem like a lot, but you’re still not the highest recipient."
"Who received the most?"
"Ninety-eight thousand."
"Who got that much!"
"The Investment Promotion Bureau’s Zhang Lin and Sanhe Street’s Lv Jiuyuan, Taiwan Hongguang New Material Co., Ltd was brought over by their investment solicitation. The Taiwanese businessmen invested more than two million US Dollars, all of which has been paid, and the land transfer fees were paid in full to the Finance Bureau’s account a month ago. Therefore, the commission for attracting investment is nearly two hundred thousand; both of them received ninety-eight thousand each."
Those two were without a doubt the most sensational legendary figures in the development zone and even Linghai this year.
With no overseas connections and not knowing English, they courageously went out to attract investment with a few boxes of business cards for the Vice Director of the Linghai Development Zone Investment Promotion Bureau.
They went to the East Sea Hongqiao Airport exit to "wait for the hare," where they would approach and hand out business cards and promotional materials to any passengers from international flights. As a result, they were rounded up by the East Sea Police as vagrants and repatriated.
Deputy Mayor Shen personally went to the Binjiang Police Department detention center to pick them up, and to boost morale, convened a commendation meeting, inspiring them to regain their enthusiasm and go out to attract investment again.
It turned out that actively going out was completely different from not going out at all.
They didn’t know how many business cards and promotional materials they had distributed; they thought that casting such a wide net would be useless, but then a Taiwanese businessman who had just finished inspecting Guzhou, intending to take a look at a few more places, dug out their previously handed out card and called them.
They were ecstatic, hurriedly found a car and rushed to Guzhou overnight to bring the businessman to Linghai. Secretary Ye, Mayor Qian, and Deputy Mayor Shen all took it very seriously and went out to receive him.
As they talked, Secretary Ye even found a connection with the Taiwanese businessman as fellow townsmen.
In the end, deeply touched, the Taiwanese businessman decided to invest and build a factory in the Linghai Development Zone!
Han Yu never expected that those two would earn money so easily, and even more so, he didn’t expect that when the city said how much they would give for investment attraction commission, they meant it.
While he was secretly marveling at having such role models, the development zone, and even the whole of Linghai, was sure to set off a wave of enthusiasm for attracting investment, Deputy Mayor Shen suddenly asked, "With so much bonus and commission this year, you don’t need to worry about your mortgage for the next two years. Are you still planning to resign?"
"Resign what job?"
"Weren’t you planning to resign and make big money by sailing?"
"Mayor Shen, how do you know about this!"
"Not just I know, Secretary Ye, Mayor Qian also know, Mayor Qin and Sister Zhu know too, even Director Chen from the City Police Bureau knows."
"Ah... you all know, who told you?"
"It’s not important who told us, what’s important is your plan for the future. Give me a straight answer, are you resigning or not?"
"It must have been Ma Jintao and Yang Yong who said it, I treated them like brothers, but they actually betrayed me!"
"Answer my question first," Deputy Mayor Shen gently reminded him with a smile as he watched him.
