For a place to attract investment, it must first have a good business environment, but if the power intervenes too much, this environment will be destroyed.
Recently, an incident in Guizhou has sparked widespread discussion - entrepreneur Jiang Ruxiang led 400 private entrepreneurs to return to their hometown to invest, but suffered all kinds of unfair treatment because of "official authority".
The incident began because Jiang Ruxiang planned to hold an entrepreneurs' conference in his hometown in Guizhou, with the aim of driving local economic development.
For this event, they signed a contract with the hotel in the Tianyan Scenic Area two weeks in advance and booked all the single rooms.
As the event approached, some impromptu government officials demanded that the hotel give them the rooms they had already booked.
Although Mr. Jiang's team had signed the contract and paid for it, the hotel was forced to cancel their reservation at the behest of officials.
This unwarranted "priority" made Jiang Ruxiang and other entrepreneurs feel very angry and disappointed.
The development of events did not stop there.
When Jiang Ruxiang's team was preparing to hold an outdoor exchange meeting in the scenic spot, a group of police officers suddenly surrounded them on the grounds of "inspection", as if these entrepreneurs who came to invest had made some ulterior mistakes.
It was a legitimate business activity, but it was made like an illegal assembly by the attitude of the officials.
This series of incidents not only confused and angry Jiang Ruxiang's team, but also made them deeply suspicious of the local business environment.
Jiang Ruxiang finally chose to lead the team to evacuate Guizhou, and publicly expressed his disappointment with this disrespectful approach to entrepreneurs and violation of the spirit of the contract.
As the matter was exposed on the Internet, many netizens expressed their support and sympathy for Jiang Ruxiang.
Some people question how the local government's attitude towards investors can attract more entrepreneurs to develop.
Some netizens even ridiculed: "Jiang Dong is fortunate to find the problem in time, otherwise he would have lost more." ”
At the same time, some netizens from other provinces expressed their willingness to welcome Jiang Ruxiang and his team to invest, believing that a fair and just business environment is the key to attracting capital.
Jiang Ruxiang's choice to leave Guizhou is not only a response to this unpleasant experience, but also sends a clear signal: the improvement of the business environment depends not only on resources and policies, but also on the spirit of contract and respect for entrepreneurs.
Without a fair and respectful business environment, the enthusiasm of entrepreneurs will be worn out sooner or later.
This incident is a wake-up call for local governments that power cannot be exercised above the rules.
As ordinary people, we should also uphold fairness and justice in our daily lives and resist injustice.
Only in this way can we contribute to the progress of society.
