Chapter 1166: Laying the Foreword and taking the lead

Ma Wanzheng!

To be fair, there was not much estrangement between Xia Xiang and Ma Wanzheng, although later, because Ma Wanzheng opposed the Song Dynasty, he had been alienated from Ma Wanzheng for a period of time.

Ma Wanzheng is a well-established person, has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and also knows the normal state of being close to and far when it comes to personal interests in the officialdom. He does not have any prejudice against Xia Xiang.

Because if he had changed, to give an inappropriate example, if he could only choose one of the two when promoting Xia Xiang and Feng Xuguang, he would definitely choose Feng Xuguang.

Between people, interests are preferred.

Xia Xiang also knew that in addition to the only time he and Ma Wanzheng were alienated, they could still seek common ground while reserving differences in many aspects. Cooperation was greater than differences. Therefore, he was very happy that Ma Wanzheng took the initiative to call him.

"Hello, Secretary Ma, hello." Xia Xiang's voice was very enthusiastic, "It was surprising and very happy to receive your call."

"Haha, I'm very happy to contact you again. I'm in the capital now, and Xu Guang is here, so it's not convenient to come and meet?" Ma Wanzheng sent an invitation, and Feng Xu Guang is here, so Xia Xiang refused without any reason.

Calculate the time, Ma Wanzheng's years are not short, so he should have moved. Thinking of the upcoming situation in Yan Province, Xia Xiang's heart moved. Ma Wanzheng's appearance at this time is probably not just for reminiscing about the past, but for a deep meaning.

It was initially learned that Wang Pengfei would be transferred to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister and Mei Shengping would be transferred, so the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee would be vacant. Looking at the current situation in Yan Province, there is little possibility of promotion on the spot. It is estimated that he would be transferred from other places or airborne from the capital.

Another point must be considered. It is time for Hu Zengzhou to serve as the secretary of the Yan Municipal Party Committee, and it is time to move upward. The secretary of the Yan Municipal Party Committee has always been moving upward, and almost all served as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee first.

If Hu Zengzhou serves as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the secretary of the Yan Municipal Party Committee is nothing unexpected, he will take over due to prosperity. As a result, the Yan Municipal Party Committee team will also have a considerable adjustment.

The General Secretary will be over in three years. Within three years, I am afraid that the first and second leaders of each province will be transferred to each other, and adjustments will still be frequent. In history, the emperor and the ministers will fill the chessboard before leaving office and continue to continue their influence.

The successor will readjust the chess pieces, then re-layout, and then lay out again according to his own ideas.

History repeats itself again and again.

Xia Xiang gave the driver Peng Yong a vacation, accompanied by Xiao Wu. When he met Ma Wanzheng, it happened to be noon. Xiao Wu was arranged to have dinner with Ma Wanzheng's accompanying staff, while Xia Xiangze and Feng Xuguang were having dinner with Ma Wanzheng.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Ma Wan has become more and more mature, but his mental state is still good. He is still dark, thin and powerful, and his speech is very loud.

"The youngest municipal party secretary in Yan Province... It's not simple. Xia Xiang, you are still a rocket speed promotion. Even Qiu Shi said that you broke his record sooner or later. He also appreciates your vitality." Ma Wan came up to point out the topic. Obviously, he had a good relationship with Gu Qiushi.

Xia Xiang said a few humble words: "Secretary Ma's courage remains unchanged back then. When I stood with Secretary Ma, I felt full of vitality." Ma Wanzheng spoke quickly and spoke loudly, which really made people feel refreshed.

"Haha." Ma Wanzheng laughed, "It's the New Year, it's rare to reunite. I've been missing for a few years. I'll drink a few more drinks today. I said Xia Xiang, do you have any objections?"

"If you have any opinions, you have to keep them." Feng Xuguang finally interjected, "Xia Xiang is actually quite drunk, but she doesn't show off her body or show off, so that others don't know the depth."

"A little drunk loses morality, and a big drunk loses morality. If you meet a friend, you can drink more." Xia Xiang responded quips.

I have a lot of contact with Feng Xuguang. After his supermarket scale has expanded to a certain level, it will be weak in the future. It is also a common problem for many companies. If you are greedy for big things and seek perfection, you will eventually suffer from it.

However, Feng Xuguang is negotiating with Carrefour, and Carrefour has proposed an acquisition intention.

Xia Xiang didn't say anything. Although Carrefour claims to be the largest retailer in Europe and the second largest international retail chain in the world, after entering the country, perhaps the French have problems with their thinking, or perhaps the management does not understand the national conditions and has experienced huge deviations in their operations. Carrefour supermarkets across the country have fallen into quality and price.

Even after Jiajia Supermarket was acquired by Carrefour, its business in Yan City plummeted, almost to an unsustainable level.

However, based on Feng Xuguang's current operating conditions, Carrefour proposed to acquire 51% of the shares and control the shares, and the price given was quite good, which was also considered a cash out of Feng Xuguang's efforts over the years. Xia Xiang saw that Feng Xuguang was no longer as excited as in previous years, and he was interested in restlessness.

Since he didn't even have the energy to do it himself, he wouldn't advise him. If he could cash out, he would cash out. Anyway, Feng Xuguang made enough money.

Because of Feng Xuguang's relationship, the unfamiliarity between him and Ma Wanzheng quickly disappeared, and he talked and laughed. When talking about the glory of Ning Province and Wu Caijiang, the relationship was even closer.

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Wanzheng slowly got to the point: "After the New Year, the personnel changes in Yan Province will be very big. Xia Xiang, I will give you some advice in advance. Xiao Yuanxin, Secretary-General of the Ning Provincial Party Committee, may communicate in Yan Province in another place to serve as Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee." He pointed a little and added, "It may not be the final result, but there are signs that Xiao Yuanxin is very likely."

Xia Xiang could guess that Ma Wanzheng was looking for him, and he would not be aimless and would not just reminisce about the past. Political figures still have everything in politics.

Xiao Yuanxin must be worth a lot of weight in Ma Wanzheng's mind when he was solemnly raised by Ma Wanzheng.

Xia Xiang followed the conversation: "It would be great if Secretary-General Xiao could come to Yan Province to work. I sincerely welcome him and would also ask the Secretary-General for more instructions."

"I won't say much polite words. Xia Xiang, with Xu Guang here, you are not far from me. If you say too much clichés, you will see the truth. In just one sentence, if Yuanxin can come to Yansheng, you will need to cooperate with the work." Ma Wanzheng did not mention Xiao Yuanxin and him, but the concern revealed in his words had already shown everything.

Indeed, if Xiao Yuanxin comes to Yan Province, as a foreigner who comes from afar, the provincial party committee secretly piao Astronomy is still there. He has a good relationship with Fan Ruiheng, and Gao Jinzhou, Li Yanhong, and Wang Pengfei is also good. Yu Xia wants to clear Xiao Yuanxin at the beginning, and he will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Xia Xiang can understand Ma Wanzheng's intentions even more: "Do your best."

"Okay, what you want is to be honest and straightforward." Ma Wanzheng raised his glass, "Come on, Xia Xiang, I'll give you a cup."

"I dare not, I dare not, I will respect Secretary Ma." Xia Xiang hurriedly responded.

"Don't be polite to me. If you don't mention that you are Xu Guang's friend, you may be a high-ranking member of the Standing Committee in the next step, and it is also a terrifying young man, which makes me amazed." Ma Wanzheng and Xia Xiang clinked a glass and drank it all in one go. "It's not difficult, but I hope there are also some. I also have a few members of the Politburo who can speak well, who can help you with your strength."

"Thanks to Secretary Ma for his concern for me." It is not surprising that Ma Wan is in the central government. He is the secretary of the provincial party committee. Behind him, he is definitely supported by the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and there will be a relationship between several members of the Political Bureau.

"When I still have the ability to care about you, I will care a few times, and it's not in vain to help me." Ma Wanzheng sighed deeply and looked at Feng Xuguang, "I'm old and have a sustenance again. Xia Xiang, every time I meet Xuguang, I will think of your kindness."

Xia Xiang hurriedly said: "Secretary Ma is so arrogant. If you say that, Xu Guang and I will not be friends."

Ma Wanzheng laughed: "You always treat me as Secretary Ma, not Uncle Ma."

"Uncle is also an elder. As a junior, he can't bear the kindness of his elders." Xia Xiang still called out his uncle, remembering the scene when he first met Ma Wanzheng and helped Feng Xuguang and Ma Wanzheng meet. The past is vivid, just like yesterday, and his heart is also ups and downs.

He did have a tacit understanding of working with Ma Wanzheng before. To be fair, he also has feelings for Ma Wanzheng.

Because the friendship between him and Feng Xuguang was too deep, he really treated Ma Wanzheng like his uncle.

Until the end, Ma Wanzheng did not reveal his movements. Although Xia Xiang also had speculations that if Ma Wanzheng did not go further, he might retreat to the second line, but if Ma Wanzheng didn't speak, he could not ask directly.

This meeting directly repaired the long-estranged relationship with Ma Wanzheng, opened up a previous link of the personnel adjustment in Yan Province, laid the foreshadowing of the high-level standing committee member, and gained a lot.

When they parted, Feng Xuguang held Xia Xiang's hand and whispered: "Uncle really admires you very much and often mentions you. He always feels that he has had an unhappiness with you in Yansheng, and he is embarrassed to contact you. He is a person who values ​​feelings and is old now. You can give in to him in the future."

Xia Xiang didn't say anything, and his heart was quite heavy. There was actually no unhappiness between him and Ma Wanzheng. Perhaps Ma Wanzheng always felt that he had helped him once, but he did not give him any substantial help. Instead, he had dragged his legs a few times and felt guilty - a person in the officialdom and the honor of the provincial party secretary. It is rare to have the desire to owe others.

Officials are also human beings, and have seven emotions and six desires, and they also need sincere communication between people. Xia Xiang made a decision in an instant, instructing Xiao Wu to buy many gifts and nutritional supplements, and decided to visit Ye Shisheng.

Ye Shisheng was very surprised by Xia Xiang's arrival, and even said that he could not have imagined it - he really didn't expect that Ye Shisheng's high position as secretary of the provincial party committee has risen to this point, but his real power has become much smaller. During festivals, the party is much less cold.

Xia Xiang's arrival made Ye Shisheng feel the long-lost warmth, especially Xia Xiang's current fierce upward momentum, which made him sigh from the bottom of his heart that Xia Xiang is a good guy and reliable.
