Repay for the love

The more casual Fan Ruiheng's attitude was, Xia Xiang understood that he must have something else to say. Sure enough, Fan Ruiheng asked Yan Xiao a few more questions about the progress of cultural tourism in single cities, and then changed the topic and asked Xia Xiang: "The joint venture project of Wanli Auto in Baoshi is a very successful investment promotion. I heard that Baoshi has three promising projects. In addition to Wanli Auto, which two are there?"

"Dafu Film and Maosheng Pickles..." Xia Xiang saw Fan Ruiheng asking about Baoshi's project with interest. He thought, "Wanli Automobile Factory needs huge investment. Although the profit prospects are the best, because of the huge investment and long cycle, Maosheng Pickles should be the fastest one among the three major projects. If Dali Film wants to seize the initiative, the capital demand is no less than that of Wanli Automobile, and it will take more than three years to see the benefits. However, once the results are initially achieved, the returns are also very amazing."

"Oh?" Fan Ruiheng became more interested and asked Maosheng pickles in a focused manner. "How big can a small pickles have?"

Xia Xiang smiled confidently: "Governor Fan, are you willing to meet Chu Zigao, the boss of Forest Residence? He has four or five hotels under his name. Although it mainly includes southern dishes, several restaurants also provide breakfast. Since breakfast is sold, pickles are available for you..."

Fan Ruiheng nodded: "If it's convenient, ask him to come over and talk."

Xia wanted to have a call, and Chu Zigao hurriedly came from Chu Fenglou. He heard that Governor Fan had something to look for him, but he still couldn't help but be excited. He drove the car quickly along the way and ran several red lights.

Chu Zigao thought Xia wanted to call him here specifically, and Governor Fan asked him about something big, but Governor Fan was not polite when he saw him, so he shook his hands and asked, "Mr. Chu, how many pickles can you sell in a month together in several restaurants?"

As soon as the dignified governor spoke, he didn't ask about the turnover or the total assets. He asked about pickles, which made him a little confused. However, the governor had to answer questions. He thought for a while and said embarrassedly: "The specific quantity is not counted, but there is always a quantity of more than 10,000 yuan... My hotel mainly uses southern dishes and uses less pickles. If it is a northern-flavored restaurant, it provides staple foods such as rice porridge and other pasta, and the sales of pickles are even greater."

Fan Ruiheng thought about it and asked again: "Aren't ordinary pickles provided for free?"

Chu Zi smiled: "The wool comes from the sheep. Our pickles are bought with money. The cost must be transferred to customers. Any merchant will do this."

Xia Xiang interrupted: "Zigao, what pickles do you usually use?"

Chu Zigao didn't know what Xia Xiang was talking about with Fan Ruiheng, so he answered truthfully: "My restaurants have high-end and mid-range. For those with high-end ones, use Liubiju, and for those with medium-range ones, use Maosheng. Both are old-fashioned brands. Liubiju has a slightly better taste and a little more expensive."

Fan Ruiheng made a rough calculation and was surprised. He didn't know that a small pickled vegetable has such a large market. It's really like a mountain. Four restaurants have sales of more than 10,000 yuan a month. There are more than 400 hotels in Yan City? There are also 4,000 hotels in Yan Province, not to mention that the sales of northern-style hotels may be more than twice as high.

Xia Xiang's words strengthened Fan Ruiheng's confidence: "Governor Fan, in fact, the sales of hotels only account for less than one-third of the total sales, and the purchasing power of ordinary families is also very amazing. If it is made into bags or bottles, it will be fully introduced into the supermarket market, and sales can be more than doubled."

Fan Ruiheng was heartbroken.

Chu Zi tactfully said goodbye, but Fan Ruiheng didn't keep him. When Chu Zi left for the first year of high school, Fan Ruiheng sat down again, changed into a relaxed tone of chatting, and said, "Xiao Xia, Fan Zheng studied for graduate school in Beijing, and now he graduated, and wants to go back to Yan City. I actually really want him to go abroad. Whether it is doing business or political in China, Fan Zheng's temperament is not suitable, but he is unwilling to go abroad and insists on coming to Yan City to develop. It is really a headache. You have a good relationship with him before, and he has asked me specifically, "Why, do you advise him for me?"

Governor Fan is worthy of being a steady person, speaking without any leakage, and he will never explain what he wants. If you can understand it, you are conscious. If you can't understand it, I'm sorry, you are not a good cadre who can fully understand the intentions of his superiors. Who is Xia Xiang? How can you not hear Fan Ruiheng's implication? I think it's so funny when I think of the design that forced Fan Zheng away. Unexpectedly, there are countless opportunities in life. After a round, I will inevitably cooperate with Fan Zheng again.

Well, Fan Ruiheng has always been willing to act without taking action than let others catch the handle. His willingness to let Fan Zheng interact with him is also because of his complete trust in himself. It is estimated that even if Fan Ruiheng guessed the role he played in Gao Chengsong's fall, he understood that Gao Jianyuan's arrest had something to do with him, and he still let Fan Zheng interact with him. Trust is on the one hand and on the other hand, it is also a manifestation of Fan Ruiheng's extremely confident, because he believes that he has no major problems to be attacked. As long as he stands upright, he can at least protect Fan Zheng from having money to make money.

Xia Xiang was half right, and Fan Ruiheng really thought that he had not done anything illegal or illegal, nor had any economic problems. The reason why he made Fan Zheng approach Xia Xiang again was because he felt that under the current situation, in the situation where Cui Xiang and Ye Shisheng were getting closer and closer, Xia Xiang, as a member of the leading group, as the person whom the Song Dynasty trusted the most, faced with Cui Xiang's pressure and Ye Shisheng's conservatism, Xia Xiang and him would have more and more common interests. The main reason was that Xia Xiang had a business acumen. His means of making money were not power-for-money transactions, nor corruption and bribery, but asking for money from the market. It was completely legal and reasonable to make money, which was also what made Fan Ruiheng most reassured.

Of course, there is no problem with appropriate policy care. Some engineering projects must face the choice of whom. However, within a reasonable range, the projects handled by Xia Xiang or the projects attracting investment are all standing at the forefront of the market tide and making a fortune.

If Xia Xiang helps, he can make money legally. Fan Ruiheng believes that only Xia Xiang can do it within his sight. What is rare is that Fan Zheng also has great trust in Xia Xiang. At the same time, Fan Ruiheng also has reason to believe that Xia Xiang is not without political acumen. He can judge the situation and not only can see who should get close to now, but also know how to see it longer. In the next two or three years, if nothing unexpected happens, who will be the next provincial party secretary.

Fan Ruiheng has reason to believe that Xia Xiang will make wise choices, and at the same time, he also believes that he can control Xia Xiang.

Although Xia Xiang had an average impression of Fan Zheng, he also knew that compared to Gao Jianyuan, Fan Zheng was actually much simpler. He had no complicated ideas. He was a bit dandy but was not so bold that he could do whatever he wanted. He was much more controllable than Gao Jianyuan. Under a reasonable range, there was no problem to help Fan Zheng make some money. He said, "Okay, when Fan Zheng comes back, I will talk to him well. I haven't seen him for a few years and I have always missed him."

Xia Xiang stopped and said nothing more.

Fan Ruiheng nodded with satisfaction: "You and Fan Zheng are still in their childhood, and they have a good relationship. They have the possibility of developing into good friends. I won't talk about it anymore, it's always reassuring. Fan Zheng has been studying for two more years now, and is a little calmer than before, but he is still a little impetuous. If he has something wrong with his behavior, you will criticize him when he is young. He is younger than you, less experience than you, and he has no business acumen, and you say he is also for his own good."

Basically, the matter was clear, and Xia Xiang felt confident. He smiled and said a few words, and then asked Yan Xiao again: "The government will also pay some funds for the cultural tourism project of single cities. I heard that something was wrong with their funds?"

Yan Xiao knew what Xia Xiang was about, so he said helplessly: "Yes, Dancheng applied for funds to the provincial government. When the leadership group was just established, the province decided to allocate 200 million yuan as special funds to deal with the shortage of funds in the industrial structure adjustment of Dancheng and Baoshi at any time. Now Dancheng really applied, but it was suppressed, which is a bit disappointing."

"This is indeed not used to carry out the work of the leading group, and it will also dampen the enthusiasm of Baocheng for the next step of industrial structure adjustment. I heard from Mayor Qiu that Baocheng also has a large funding gap and is preparing to apply for it. In fact, the allocation of funds from the province is also a compensation policy for Dancheng and Baocheng to take the initiative to apply to become a compensation policy for the pilot city to share the worries of the province. Why has it changed now? If the matter spreads and affects the enthusiasm of the pilot city, it will greatly reduce the prestige of the leading group." Xia Xiang said without worry and looked at Fan Ruiheng again, "Governor Fan, you should come forward to solve this matter. After all, you are the governor and a firm supporter of industrial structure adjustment."

Fan Ruiheng said with a heavy face: "Secretary Ye is suppressed, I have heard of it. I will talk to him later. I cannot speak without trust, so that the city and prefectures below doubt the credibility of the provincial party committee and government." Then he smiled, "If you have any difficulties, you can directly contact me. I will come forward to solve them both public and private, right?"

The sentence Yu Public and Private shows Fan Ruiheng’s dual attitude. Yu Public supports the leadership group and Yu Public supports Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang knows the meaning of elegant songs by singing. He smiled: “Then I will thank you for Mayor Qiu.”

Xia Xiang didn't say that he would thank Fan Ruiheng for Dancheng, nor did he say that he would serve Baoshi. Fan Ruiheng was also clear about Qiu Xufeng. Xia Xiang understood what he meant. Qiu Xufeng now led the industrial structure adjustment of Baoshi and was also Xia Xiang's good friend. Xia Xiang should have negotiated a cooperation plan with Qiu Xufeng on the restructuring of Maosheng pickles.

On the way to pick up the car from Yan Xiao, Yan Xiao stared at Xia Xiang's eyes and said, "You are a little more terrifying than I thought."

Xia Xiang was puzzled: "What do you think? I think I am a good person, loyal and reliable, and helpful. What's the point of being a little scary? Don't ruin people's innocence."

Yan Xiao was speechless for a moment and wanted to say something. He waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Forget it, I didn't say it. I used the wrong adjective. Actually, I meant to praise you for being too powerful."

When Xia Xiang broke up with Yan Xiao, Yan Xiao suddenly asked in a low voice: "I'll ask you, do you don't want to be classmates with me?"

Xia Xiang did not answer Yan Xiao’s question, but just waved his hand indifferently to see him, leaving Yan Xiao standing in front of the car for a while, and finally said to himself: “It’s getting more and more delicious…”

I don't know what she is referring to.

When he went to work on Monday, Xia Xiang received a call from Qiu Xufeng as soon as he arrived at the office. Qiu Xufeng was in high spirits recently and had a rush to do something big. His voice changed from being slow when he spoke before to a little quick speech: "Xiao Xia has reached a preliminary agreement with Kodak Group and plans to visit the United States in the near future. I will come forward to Baoshi City and you will be accompanied by the leadership team. As for the specific visit date, I will see your arrangements. Anyway, it is not a dozen days apart. The key is that you must ask for the specific date, otherwise don't blame me for not considering it carefully for you if you can't make mistakes."

Xia Xiang pretended to be stupid: "Your words are a bit profound, I don't understand them very much."

"Okay, don't pretend to be a father in front of me. I know you're about to be a father. As a big brother, if you don't create an opportunity to fly to the United States for you, you won't show the friendship between us, right? Also, don't worry, Secretary Cao is not by my side, you can speak with confidence and boldness." Qiu Xufeng laughed, obviously, he knew about Lian Ruohan's pregnancy.

Xia Xiang had no choice but to make a pity: "I'll find an opportunity to invite you to dinner, and at the same time, in return, I won't tell Fu Duoduo about your embarrassment."

Qiu Xufeng was anxious: "Don't talk nonsense, what's wrong with me? I've always been innocent in the relationship between men and women. Besides, even if I have it, I'll know before I know you."

Xia Xiang didn't say anything, but just laughed constantly. Qiu Xufeng was fooled and hurriedly said, "It must be Mei Xiaolin told you, or it was Mei Shengping. We have to say first. As good friends, we must keep the secret. We must attack and defend the alliance..."

When Xia Xiang put down the phone, he kept laughing. It was not that Qiu Xufeng trusted others too easily, but that he was indeed too connected, so he thought he must have known about his past. In fact, he really didn't know what was hard to talk about in the past.

Gu Yu was shocked by Xia Xiang's laughter and asked, "What's the matter with Director Xia? Is your lover so happy? Is it because your lover is pregnant?"

Xia Xiang had already stood up, but was asked by Gu Yu inadvertently. He sat back in shock. His heart beat violently for a few times, and he was so weird that he was secretly screaming. How could a woman's intuition be so accurate?

Fortunately, Gu Yu just asked casually and said, "I heard that the Standing Committee will be held today to discuss the issue of expanding the leadership group. At the beginning, no one wanted to come, but now it's good. I just got some achievements, so I thought that more people come in and give me some benefits. Politics has always been naked interests."
