Chapter 433

: Don’t know the sky is high and the earth is thick

Xia Xiang replied respectfully: "Actually, after I joined the leadership group, after studying the development trajectory of a large number of coastal provinces, I found that the urbanization rate of developed provinces, especially coastal provinces, is increasing year by year, but not mainly to big cities, but to continuously form small and medium-sized cities. What are the places that are more suitable for the development of the real estate industry? What places can best enable industrial real estate to form scale and benefits? It is not big cities, but booming emerging small and medium-sized cities. There are only 11 cities in Yan Province, with few county-level cities and industrial structure.

Adjustment not only requires adjusting backward state-owned enterprises, but also some backward production enterprises with high noise and serious pollution. The best way is to move these enterprises out of the city and divide them into places to resettle heavily polluted enterprises such as paper mills and steel mills to keep the pollution away from the city. At the same time, the newly divided locations, because the construction of factories and the need to resettle a large number of workers, need to build a large number of new residential buildings and other ancillary facilities. This is exactly the industrial real estate projected by Cheng Zong... With popularity, there will be demand, and over time, a small town will be formed."

It is rare that Xia Xiang can link industrial structure adjustment with industrial real estate. Ye Shisheng nodded slightly and expressed his approval: "The idea is good, and he has a forward-looking consciousness. Although he is a bit ambitious, it is also a way of thinking..." At this point, he had completely accepted Xia Xiang in his heart and believed that he was a useful material.

"Secretary Ye, I want Xia Xiang to come to Dacai Group as the vice president. What do you think?" Cheng Dacai is now becoming more and more fond of Xia Xiang. The industrial real estate he just thought of, but he has a rough idea. Xia Xiang has already had a preliminary idea, which is really surprising. Everyone says he is a business genius, but in fact, Xia Xiang is also a business genius and has a superior vision.

Cheng Dacai once again truly moved his love for talent.

"No, I can't agree." Ye Shisheng smiled, reached out to hold the tea cup, signaled Xia Xiang to pour tea for him, and said, "Xia Xiang is now the core figure of the leadership group. As the pilot reform of Shancheng and Baoshi begins to show results, there is still a lot of work to be done next, and maybe in the second half of the year, a second batch of pilot cities will join, and his work will be very heavy. Besides, maybe the provincial party committee and government have more important tasks to hand over to him to complete, so let him come to your Dacai Group? It's impossible."

Ye Shisheng now regards Xia Xiang as his person, and his words and words are beyond words to express his support.

Cheng Dacai shook his head and sighed: "This is the second time I want to invite Xiaoxia to Dacai Group. Unfortunately, his path in the officialdom is getting more and more stable. I also think that if he doesn't want to be in the officialdom, when he comes to my Dacai Group, it's okay for me to offer him an annual salary of one million. It seems that everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it. Xiaoxia still hopes to achieve greater achievements in the officialdom and want to achieve greater results."

"I have been too proud of the award. I occasionally come up with ideas. It's okay to think of a strategy. It would be too proud to let me be the vice president. I am self-aware and I am really incompetent. I still hope that under the care of Secretary Ye, under the leadership of the provincial party committee and government, and working in the leadership group, I can contribute to the adjustment of the industrial structure of Yan Province, and I am satisfied."

"Have you heard that, Dacai, don't think of poaching Xia Xiang away under my nose. He is a member of our leadership group..." Ye Shisheng looked at Xia Xiang with a smile, and was quite satisfied with Xia Xiang's answer just now.

At noon, I stayed at Chengdacai's home for a snack. After the meal, Xia Xiang accompanied Ye Shisheng for a while and talked about the next key points of the leadership group. After the Tonghai Railway and Idiom Tourism Project in a single city, there were down factories, Hanguang Consumables and emerging energy were key enterprises, and there was a need for further adjustment. As a single city with a heavy cotton production area, several major cotton mills went bankrupt one after another. If the bankrupt cotton mill could be transformed successfully, it would be possible to change to manufacturers that produce medium and low-end bedding and towels. However, because it was a new brand, it was very risky and it might be difficult to introduce funds and needed to find opportunities.

As for Baoshi, Wanli Auto and Maosheng Zhucai have reached preliminary agreements, and Dafu Film has also gained fame. He and Qiu Xufeng will fly to the United States next week to hold the second round of negotiations with Kodak. Xia Xiang’s goal is to hope that Kodak will increase its investment and transform and produce LCD screens in a timely manner. If possible, he can even persuade Kodak to invest heavily in the development of digital cameras to ensure that he has a place in the future digital camera tide. The best result is that Kodak was persuaded and invested in building a factory in Baoshi. If it succeeds, it is conservatively estimated that it will be able to introduce 500 million US dollars of foreign investment.

Hearing Xia Xiang's idea and seeing that he was steady in his pace, although he was respectful, he responded calmly, Ye Shisheng couldn't help but increase his favorability to Xia Xiang by a layer. Such a young man is brave in innovation and dares to act. He not only actively persuades Shancheng and Baoshi to apply for pilot cities, but also thinks about the specific implementation of industrial structure adjustment for them, and is willing to work hard and devotes himself to work. He is a good seedling.

People's psychology is so strange. Ye Shisheng didn't think Xia was thinking about what he thought about before. Today, when he got close to him, he was praised by his old friend Cheng Da and asked for people in front of him. This made him feel that Xia Xiang could be made more and more powerful. Combined with the words of Fan Ruiheng and Qian Jinsong, the idea of ​​taking another step forward in his heart became uncontrollably strong.

Another step is the treatment of the vice premier, and you can live in the capital and look at the whole country. What a glory? Isn’t a life a process of hard climbing and rising step by step? Once you see that there is no way ahead, anyone will think that as long as you do the things in front of you well, it’s better to do it. As for longer-term plans, it’s better not to think about it, and no longer think about how to make things stronger and bigger, because it will take considerable risks, but there will be no greater gains...

Yan Province has always been difficult to advance, and Gao Chengsong, who is most expected to rise to the capital, was eventually ruined. Ye Shisheng also knew that he was old, and Yan Province's economy was not up or down. It was easy to defend the city, but it was difficult to make progress. He thought that since he could not be promoted, he might as well be a secretary for a few years, and finally gained a reputation for neither high nor low, and went home to retire. But suddenly, there was a problem of industrial structure adjustment. With the joint promotion of many promoters and pressure from the upper class, today's situation was found.

What is even more incredible is that he always believes that even if pilot cities implement industrial structure adjustments, it will be difficult to succeed. Unexpectedly, in just two months, good news came from Shancheng and Baoshi. And after Xia Xiang said, it was only the beginning. A series of measures will be introduced in succession, and there may be greater success.

Ye Shisheng suddenly felt a sense of urgency that time was endless, and felt that the provincial party secretary cared too little about the leadership group. It was a huge dereliction of duty that a department that could achieve political achievements was actually allowed to be fully controlled by the provincial government team.

"Comrade Xia Xiang, your work is solid and your style is very stable. You should praise it." Ye Shisheng pondered for a moment and said, "Although the leadership group is led by the provincial government, it actually grew up under the joint care of the provincial party committee and government. If you have any difficulties, you must report to the provincial party committee in a timely manner. I have always been very concerned about the progress of the work of the leadership group."

How could Xia Xiang not understand Ye Shisheng’s implication? He hurriedly replied respectfully: “I will report to Secretary Ye more. I have always felt that under the cordial leadership of the provincial party committee and government, the leading group can better carry out their work and achieve their established goals.”

Ye Shisheng nodded, didn't say anything, but just turned his eyes to the distance and fell into thinking.

When we go to work on Monday, good things come to the leadership group - given the outstanding work of the leadership group, the provincial party committee and government decided to give a notice to praise - Xia Xiang laughed, which was a praise on the surface, but it actually showed Ye Shisheng's position and he wanted to collect power.

However, collecting power is not a bad thing. Since Cui Xiang can also find ways to affect Ye Shisheng's decision, Xia Xiang believes that with his ability, he can also get closer and closer to Secretary Ye. After all, Secretary Ye also has high hopes for the leadership group. Everyone has the same common goal. Secretary Ye wants political achievements, and Xia wants achievements.

Xia Xiang is very optimistic about Ye Shisheng's support for the leadership group. Ye Shisheng actually does not have too many conflicts and conflicts with Fan Ruiheng. Fan Ruiheng wants to take over as secretary, and Ye Shisheng wants to move upward. As long as the two seek common ground while reserving differences, industrial structure adjustment is a common opportunity for the two. But for Cui Xiang, the situation is not optimistic.

If the industrial structure adjustment is successful, the credit will be made by Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng. Song Chaodu will take this opportunity to show off his limelight. There is basically nothing Cui Xiang has to do, and one thing has changed. After Ye Shisheng reaches the point, whether he is promoted or retired, Fan Ruiheng will basically take over as secretary. The candidate for governor, Song Chaodu's masterpiece performance when he was the leader of the leading group for industrial structure adjustment, also added a lot of points in the eyes of the upper class. If it is operated properly, it is not impossible for Song Chaodu to take over as governor to overwhelm Cui Xiang in one fell swoop.

No one else is worth worrying about. The biggest threat to Song Chaodu was Ma Wanzheng. As the executive vice governor, Ma Wanzheng should be the first candidate according to the principle of progress. However, things in the officialdom are very variable. Xia Xiang affirmed that as long as the industrial structure adjustment is successful - there is no need to be a big success. As long as the two cities of Shancheng and Baoshi achieve the established goals, Song Chaodu's prestige will be close to Ma Wanzheng.

As a new thing, the industrial structure adjustment is a challenge, but it is also the greatest opportunity.

Compared with Ma Wanzheng, Xia Xiang naturally prefers to let Song Chaodu take over as governor.

On Wednesday, Xia Xiang arranged the work at hand and flew to the Kodak headquarters in Rochester, USA with Qiu Xuxu and the person in charge of Dafu Film.

After landing, Xia Xiang called Lian Ruohan first. He realized that everything was normal now and there was no sign of having a child for the time being, so he felt relieved.

Xia Xiangxian communicated with the people of Dafu Film. Originally, Kodak Group wanted to buy 40% of Dafu Film, but Dafu disagreed for the sake of protecting the state-owned brand.

When I arrived at the hotel where I stayed, Xia Xiang would hold a small meeting with Dafu people with Qiu Xufeng.

The person in charge of Dafu is named Chang Qingsong. He is a vice president. He is in his 40s. It is said that he studied in the United States in his early years and is proficient in English and negotiation skills. Chang Qingsong is like a pine tree. He holds his head up and his chest when walking, and is particularly energetic, at least not inferior to others in momentum.

Xia Xiang didn't say nonsense and said straight to the point: "Mr. Chang, you also studied in the United States in your early years. You should have a rough understanding of the future development trends of digital products. According to you, will the film camera market last for a long time?"

Chang Qingsong shook his head slightly: "The prospect is not optimistic, but it will still dominate in a short period of time, and it is estimated that it will have about ten years of life. The advantages of digital cameras are very obvious, but they need to be used in conjunction with computers. Currently, computers in China are not popular yet."

"China is already much behind the world. The only thing that is not behind is the computer trend, digital trend and the Internet. The popularity of computers is far inferior to that of the United States, but I believe that it will not take long before computers will enter ordinary people's homes. It is precisely because of the popularity of computers that digital products and Internet applications brought about will become a big trend like a tide. My idea is to agree to Kodak Holdings' request of 40%. Our condition is to ask Kodak for $1 billion, half of which is injected into Dafu film and half of them are used to invest in the LCD LCD screen production line..."

Chang Qingsong opened his mouth in surprise: "Director Xia... Director Xia, when Kodak proposed 20% of his shares, he was only willing to invest 300 million US dollars. The agreement has not been agreed yet. Now he wants 1 billion to transfer 40% of his shares. Isn't it too much for Lion to speak out? The other party will definitely refuse."

"Negotiation is a process of mutual compromise." Xia Xiang smiled confidently. He knew very well that Kodak wanted to occupy the domestic market, because in the international market, Kodak had been forced to retreat step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step. Now he is attracted by the domestic market. Whoever seizes the market first will get a license to open the country. According to the negotiations between Kodak and Dafu in later generations, it can be seen that Kodak must have a strong sense of crisis.

In negotiations, whoever grasps the other party's bottom line will have the confidence to win. Kodak now has a sense of crisis and is also facing an important transformation. Unfortunately, in later generations, Kodak chose a conservative route and failed to seize the digital tide in time and was eliminated. Japan's digital cameras took the opportunity to rise and occupied more than 80% of the market share.

Not to mention that there is nothing Kodak is involved in the LCD screen. Kodak has suddenly fallen from the three major film manufacturers, and even in the later generations, almost no one knows the name of Kodak!

It was all because of Kodak's decision-making mistakes and failed to seize this opportunity.

Xia Xiang believes that as long as he can convince Koda to change his mind, he may have to pay more money from Koda!

"As long as Mr. Chang follows my ideas, he may still have an investment of 1.5 billion." Xia Xiang glanced at Qiu Xufeng and said, "Imagine that if you can get a $1.5 billion investment for Baoshi, you will be the biggest contributor to Baoshi."

Qiu Xufeng was also excited by one sentence.

What an amazing number of US$1.5 billion. If this trip can be introduced as Xia Xiang said, and if Kodak is able to be introduced as Xia Xiang, Evergreen Song will receive any reward from Dafu Group, Qiu Xufeng doesn't care. What he cares about is that he will become the most dazzling political star in Baoshi City in one fell swoop.

US$1.5 billion will become the largest foreign investment attracted by Yan Province in history. With this heavy political achievement, Qiu Xufeng will be the next mayor even if he does not do anything in the future.

Qiu Xufeng's eyes shone brightly and he stared at Xia Xiang's eyes: "Director Xia, don't draw a big pie for us, and then there will be no more text. Not to mention 1.5 billion, the bottom line of this negotiation is to transfer 20% of the shares by US$300 million, which is to achieve the goal. I want to hear how Koda can willingly take out 1.5 billion?"

Xia Xiang smiled calmly: "Negotiation is a process of testing the other party's bottom line. You advance and I retreat, or I advance and you retreat. In short, everyone has to argue endlessly for their own interests, trying to convince the other party, so that the other party feels that the efforts will be rewarded, and the other party will pay. If you know the other party's current dilemma and bottom line clearly, and can come up with a good idea for the other party to get out of the predicament, of course, the site of a good idea should be to make yourself have benefits. In this way, you can take the initiative in the negotiation, and you can destroy the other party's confidence little by little, exceed the other party's bottom line, and move forward and then move forward."

Chang Qingsong heard the key point and asked in confusion: "Does Director Xia be confident to convince Kodak? Did he know the other party's bottom line?"

Chang Qingsong didn't have much thought about Xia Xiang's accompanying him. In his opinion, although Xia Xiang was a member of the leadership group and one of the key figures, he was too young and might not have any knowledge. Even if he had some small insights and cleverness in business, he would definitely have a slight understanding of the film industry, and he might not have a thorough understanding of the current situation of international and domestic films. At best, he was an ordinary little bureaucrat who followed the United States for the purpose of traveling.

So when he heard Xia Xiang’s goal of $1.5 billion, he still respectfully asked for advice on the surface, but in fact he was extremely despised by Xia Xiang in his heart. He had seen many officials who were amateurs who did not know how to pretend to understand. This was the first time he had seen an official like Xia Xiang who was not only young but also arrogant. Other officials could say anything reliable. Xia Xiang’s words were simply a mess of the world!
