Practical style


Coming for investment and negotiations nothing other.


At a press conference held yesterday, Mr. Jiao Jinmiao said in an interview with the media that the current session of the CIFIT advocated frugality and pragmatic style from the outset, and did not engage in activities that were not related to the theme of the conference. Various activities were simplified as much as possible.


"Once come, it will be the real thing but imaginary things. It is not for sightseeing tourism and we cannot 'become to be brothers'." Jiao Jinmiao half-jokingly said that investors invitation took "business" as the main factor and they were high-level merchants with most of them based on the intention to cooperate in the project. "They were either bosses or leaders that had power to speak and had decision-making leadership."


Besides, the signing of the project is strictly controlled to eliminate repeated contracting, false signings and signatures not meeting the direction of the province's industrial development. Jiao Jinmiao said that the contracted projects would also need to establish account books one by one for real-time tracking. Henan counties and cities would also announce major contracted projects. “The person who signed the contract will be responsible for the implementation.”
