Chapter 1603 Timely rain or east wind
Xia Xiang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He was not nervous, but wanted to show the necessary respect. Moreover, it was the first time he received a call from the Prime Minister directly, and he always felt that the call he called at this time might be related to what had just happened and was about to happen.
Needless to say, it is naturally a supermarket incident for national economy and people's livelihood.
Xia Xiang really guessed it right...
"Xia Xiang, I am..." The Prime Minister came up and reported himself to his house, his tone was as kind and gentle as ever. "I remembered something temporarily and called you to talk to you about your opinion... Has it disturbed you?"
Xia Xiang hurriedly said a few polite words: "Please give me instructions from the Prime Minister."
"It's really not an instruction, but a little idea to communicate with you." The Prime Minister seemed to be deliberately emphasizing that it was not a public service, but a private standpoint and communicated with Xia Xiang. "I read the news and noticed that there was a problem of counterfeit ecological pork in Carrefour supermarkets in Yan and Lu. I also heard that you went to the supermarket to buy pork and provided it to the quality inspection department. Comrade Xia Xiang, there are dozens of deputy provincial party committees in the country. You are the first good cadre to truly implement the slogan of caring about national economy and people's livelihood. I am very touched from my personal feelings."
Although Xia Xiang was mentally prepared, he knew that the Prime Minister might say something unexpected, but he didn't expect that the Prime Minister's words were still unexpected, which left him speechless.
Starting from the position of the Prime Minister, caring about the national economy and people's livelihood has always been the Prime Minister's responsibility, and the Prime Minister has done a good job in this regard. From the perspective of the Prime Minister's personal feelings, even if the Prime Minister is indeed concerned about the supermarket incident and is very interested, he will not call him in person, just to praise him.
"National economy and people's livelihood are big and small things. Many leading cadres shouted loudly, but they often couldn't be put into practice. They were big and empty, in form, and did not play a role. I was very sad about this." The Prime Minister's words continued to be sent affectionately, "Comrade Xia Xiang, your approach fully reflects the excellent quality of a *** clerk and has set a good start for countless leading cadres across the country. I hope you can maintain this spirit of hard work."
The Prime Minister's phone number was cut off, but the Prime Minister's words echoed in his ears for a long time, making it difficult for Xia Xiang to calm down.
Obedient one must listen to the voice, the central idea that politicians should express, and the voice that obedient one must be implicit. The Prime Minister will definitely not call in person for no reason, just to express his support for his move to buy meat. In fact, Xia Xiang did not have the idea of making a show. This move was a subtle and firm expression of an attitude.
After the issue of the Salt Affairs Bureau was settled, when he had just started fighting with the Yanei, was the Prime Minister's phone call rain in time or the east wind?
Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled. Three Kingdoms, and I saw the Three Kingdoms again. It is very necessary to read the Three Kingdoms carefully again. Learn from history and you may know the success or replacement.
When he arrived at the location he agreed with Zhou Hongji, Wangxiang Pavilion, Xia Xiang saw Zhou Hongji waiting outside the door, thinking that he was a colleague, and although he ranked a little higher, he didn't have to be so polite. Zhou Hongji's move made him more and more affirm his guess.
Zhou Hongji asked for him, and there may be more than one thing.
But... the name of the hotel is really not very good. Xia Xiang thought to himself that he didn't know who the boss of Wangxiang Pavilion was. Perhaps because he really didn't understand traditional culture, didn't he know that there was a high platform on the Huangquan Road in folk legend that he could look back at his hometown, so he was named Wangxiangtai?
Therefore, the hotel is named Wangxiang Pavilion, which is really a bit inappropriate.
Fortunately, he just thought about it occasionally and did not care whether the name of the hotel was Geely. Xia Xiang was not a real materialist. He firmly believed that everything in the world was produced by thoughts, and matter only materialized thoughts.
I shook hands enthusiastically with Zhou Hongji, and then entered the hotel from an inconspicuous side door. What is very different from the gray tones outside is that the style inside the hotel is very bright and warm, which seems to be made out of a woman's hand.
Zhou Hongji wore black pants and white shirts, which was a professional outfit without any characteristics, but his upright posture and constant confidence, coupled with the fact that he was in the most mature season for a man, and he had the aura of the provincial discipline inspection commission, so it was reasonable to attract women's attention.
The one who guided Xia Xiang and Zhou Hongji was a graceful woman, beautiful, plump, extremely attractive figure, and a picture-like face, but her makeup was too thick, which made Xia Xiang not happy.
Xia Xiang is not happy, which does not mean that Zhou Hongji is not happy. Judging from the way a woman looks at Zhou Hongji, she must have ideas about Zhou Hongji. Whether Zhou Hongji is interested in her is because Zhou Hongji performed too well, Xia Xiang didn't see it.
When he arrived at the private room where he lived in the capital, Xia Xiang was invited to serve as the superior. Zhou Hongji then waved the woman away, but did not specifically introduce it to Xia Xiang, but only ordered: "Old rules."
The woman twisted her waist and left dissatisfiedly, and seemed to have a look of Zhou Hongji. Zhou Hongji didn't care and smiled at Xia Xiang: "It's a hotel run by a friend in Beijing. The Beijing flavor is very authentic. I think although you are from Yanshi, you should not be different from the Beijing flavor. So I am used to eating Qisheng cuisine. Trying Beijing cuisine is also a pleasure."
Zhou Hongji is casual, and Xia Xiang doesn't come up, so he gets to the point. He laughs and says a few casual words, and the atmosphere gradually becomes lingering.
When the meal was served, they were all home-cooked dishes, even with green onions and tofu, as well as pickles and millet porridge - no wonder they were named Mingwangxiangge, which turned out to be home-cooked dishes.
Then we started eating.
Xia Xiang was really hungry, and the food was indeed simple and had no big fish or meat. It was very healthy, so I ate a lot.
When I had a plate of meat stir-fried celery, Xia Xiang only picked up a piece of celery, and Zhou Hongji found the topic at the right time: "The pork here is real ecological pork."
Xia Xiang laughed: "Actually, I really don't like pork."
"How many pounds do you have to buy if you don't like to eat pork?" Zhou Hongji laughed, "Xia***, the tragedy caused by a few pounds of pork is a bit too big. In fact, all domestic supermarkets have the same problem. You can't be surprised, but just hit it properly. Otherwise, it will also affect the multinational group's investment intention in China."
Sure enough... Zhou Hongji acted as a lobbyist for the yamen, which was almost the same as what he had originally imagined. Xia Xiang just smiled and didn't respond.
Seeing that Xia Xiang looked confident, Zhou Hongji knew that Xia Xiang had guessed the link, so he said again: "Yanei asked me to pass on a sentence to Xia***..."
Zhou Hongji didn't call him General Gao, but he called him Yanei, which was interesting.
"I hope Xia *** will give him a reward." Zhou Hongji said straightforwardly. Now there are only two people present, so there is no need to be a taboo. Moreover, he and Xia Xiang have had a cooperation experience, and they are not unfamiliar with each other, "and they will be rewarded."
Xia Xiang spoke: "Zhou***, some multinational groups come to invest in China, not because they travel thousands of miles to be Lei Feng, nor for the prosperity of the domestic market economy. They want to control the market in the economic field. What's the importance of whether to come or not? As I said, it's better not to come! The news media often exaggerates to international heights. You and I know what's going on, just like PetroChina boasted that it had obtained the right to exploit oil fields abroad some time ago, and it seemed that it had achieved a great achievement..."
"In fact, the truth is that Petrochemical was fooled by the Iraqi government under the control of the United States. To use a very appropriate analogy, Petrochemical, which is a powerful domestic worker, is a brick-moving worker abroad. Every barrel of oil is exploited, he will lose money. Where does the final gap come from? Of course, it is the high oil price in China."
"The so-called multinational group investments such as supermarkets that have no technological advantages at all, will it really be useful for the growth of the national economy? Will it really be beneficial to the people? It just makes some people shine. Why did Walmart and Carrefour fail in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong and Taiwan expansions, and only blossom everywhere in China, and are in a prairie fire?"
"If we don't mention the policy-level reasons, we will welcome friends who come from afar with the kindness of the people. What's the result? The multinational companies that are honest and honest abroad have been operating abroad, but after they come to China, they have learned to use inferior products as good ones and learn to cheat prices! Now they have not completely occupied the market. If one day they really become Carrefour everywhere, every Walmart will have to endure 250 and a half pound of pork?"
Zhou Hongji didn't expect that his words would attract a series of questions from Xia Xiang. He was speechless, just a bitter smile on his face, speechless for a long time.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
The reason why Xia Xiang was generous was that he was indeed out of anger, and the other was that he wanted to take the lead in front of Zhou Hongji. When Zhou Hongji proposed the conditions, he would have enough buffer.
In silence, the rustling sound of the wind blowing on the bamboo forest outside the window. Xia Xiang put down his chopsticks and came to the window: "The night is nice, Hongji, it is also an unforgettable experience to be able to sit with you."
Zhou Hongji understood what Xia Xiang meant and said: "Yanei has three meanings. First, Qianjiang Group's investment intention will be put on the agenda again, and he will also make a proposal for the construction of Dacai Group. Second, he is willing to do his best to help Dacai Group's investment within his ability and help with friendship. Third..."
Zhou Hongji paused, looked at Xia Xiang intently, and said something that made Xia Xiang very moved.
"Third, Governor Sun and I will work sincerely with you to open up a new situation in Qi Province!"
...What a huge capital!
With the help of Yanei alone, he obviously could not make all the above promises. If the banner of helping Dacai Group was just a fake shot and there was no sincerity, then the third proposal shows that the situation has changed drastically.
If the Prime Minister's phone call was timely rain, Zhou Hongji's representative opposition forces made a straightforward proposal to unite to defeat He Jianghai, which was a huge east wind.
Chapter completed!
