Chapter 467
: Good at dancing
Hearing the busy voice of "Dou" coming from the phone, Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled. Yes, Lian Ruohan is now devoted to her son and cares about him no longer as much as before.
In fact, he just thought about it and knew that there was no reason why his father was jealous of his son?
Two days later, Lian Ruohan called and said that under Norton's recommendation, an American solar manufacturer was very interested in investing in Baoshi, mainly because Kodak's $1.5 billion investment also caused a sensation in the United States. Many industry insiders were very curious about Baoshi.
The manufacturer Lian Ruohan contacted is the largest solar photovoltaic product manufacturer in the United States, located in Texas. Its president Mike and Norton are classmates. After listening to Norton's introduction, they were very interested. It happened that Mike and President Kodak are also close friends. In addition, Mike also has some understanding of the situation in Baoshi, so he consulted in detail about some specific situations.
Then, with Norton's recommendation, Mike made a special meeting with Lian Ruohan and learned about the current situation of solar photovoltaic products in Baoshi again. Lian Ruohan handed over the materials that Xia Xiang faxed to her to Mike. Mike's interest in investment became increasingly strong, especially when he heard that the person who led the matter was convinced by Kodak's investment, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Xia is very smart and has a business acumen, and I admire him. I feel relieved to be able to do business with him."
Lian Ruohan was unhappy with the separation, so he asked Wei Xin to fully handle the matter. After Wei Xin studied the relevant information, he gave a detailed explanation to Mike on the market prospects and related preferential policies. Mike has always been very concerned about the emerging Chinese market. It is very rare to have such an opportunity to integrate resources to open up the Chinese market. He initially made a decision to conduct on-site inspection of Baoshi and specifically proposed to have an interview with Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang came to Baoshi this time to ask Baoshi to prepare policy and prepare for the preliminary work to welcome Mike and his party. However, he kept a secret and finally talked with Qiu Xufeng.
When Qiu Xufeng heard that Xia Xiang invited the largest solar energy manufacturer in the United States, he was even more ecstatic and stood up excitedly: "Xia Xiang, Brother Xia, you gave me another big gift, I don't know how to thank you. I dare say that after this news came out, many cadres in Baoshi City would have much more gratitude and respect to you than me." After thinking about it, he said self-deprecatingly, "Look, I'm not so passionate, you are for your father-in-law's political achievements, but not for me."
Xia Xiang was happy, and Qiu Xufeng became worried about gains and losses, and couldn't help but laugh at him: "Okay, what else do you think about is false confusion between me and you? I am neither helping my father-in-law nor you, but fulfilling my duties as a member of the Yan Provincial Industrial Structure Adjustment Group, and it is for the major plan of Yan Provincial Industrial Structure Adjustment..."
"Yes, yes, you are noble, I am vulgar." Qiu Xufeng smiled and realized that he had just said that. He cared too much about Xia Xiang's friend, so he said this, so he quickly changed the topic. "Tonight, we will hold a welcome banquet. Please and Comrade Gu Yu are welcome to attend. You are not allowed to refuse, otherwise I will not be able to explain it to the municipal party committee and government."
Xia Xiang also knew that although he was only a department-level cadre, he represented the leadership group. In the eyes of many people, he was considered a superior leader. It was unreasonable not to attend the banquet, so he had to agree.
When Gu Yu came back in the evening, she attended the welcome banquet in Baoshi with Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang thought it was just a small banquet, but when he arrived at the venue, he saw that the four tables were full of people, and at least dozens of people were there. Qiu Xufeng was afraid that Xia Xiang would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained: "Secretary Cao said that it would be better to be simple today, and Secretary Cao had something to do, but when Mayor Ren heard that you were here, he ordered it, so many people came, and seven or eight people were there for the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee alone."
Cao Yongguo did not come to avoid suspicion. After all, he was a father-in-law and a son-in-law. If others ignored him, he would rather stay together in front of him.
In fact, it was mainly because Qiu Xufeng accidentally leaked the news that Xia Xiang might have to attract foreign investment for Baoshi again. Many people who were not at the banquet were not the turn of attending the banquet, but because of the actual benefits of investment, they pleaded with Ren Qingzhi over and over again and asked to attend the banquet. Ren Qingzhi was old and not very enthusiastic. He listened to Cao Yongguo for major matters and gave in to Qiu Xufeng for minor matters. He had a good temper, so he couldn't resist the pleas of everyone, so he asked everyone to attend the banquet.
The result is the current situation.
Since everyone was enthusiastic, how could Xia Xiang do something to disobey everyone's kindness? He smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one, and answered everyone's questions tirelessly. His calm and composed actions made people feel sincere and friendly smiles, which won everyone's favor, especially the great achievements he made for Baoshi. Everyone here has benefited from investment and was very grateful to him. He also wanted to prepare to attract foreign investment for Baoshi, so his favor for him rose to an unparalleled height.
Even if everyone knew in their hearts that Xia Xiang was Secretary Cao's son-in-law, what Xia Xiang did was not to benefit Secretary Cao, but to make everyone have benefits. Who wouldn't look up to Xia Xiang? Even Ren Qingzhi held Xia Xiang's hand intimately, calling himself uncle and getting close to Xia Xiang.
Ren Qingzhi's affection for Xia Xiang is sincere. He was about to arrive at the age of the year and basically wanted to retire at the department level. However, Baoshi suddenly received 1.5 billion US dollars in foreign investment. As mayor, he also made a great contribution. There are rumors in the province that he was going to let him go to the CPPCC before he retired. He mentioned that he would go to the CPPCC to get over it and said that he would stay at the deputy provincial level and then retire again in the first half of the year. He could be considered as a deputy provincial treatment.
It was like picking up a gold ingot for nothing. No, it wasn't for free, but Xia Xiang gave it to him. So he was so eager to Xia Xiang. He thought, what a good young man, working so hard, even if he was for Cao Yongguo's political achievements, he would have benefited greatly from him and would thank him for whatever he said.
The more Ren Qingzhi looked at Xia Xiang, the more he loved it. He thought that Cao Yongguo was powerful and married his daughter to Xia Xiang early. His daughter Ren Yingying was more beautiful than Xu Qing, but unfortunately she was one step later. If she didn't say anything, she would have to grab Xia Xiang, a son-in-law, as she was a dragon.
Xia Xiang is more popular among officials in Bao City than Qiu Xufeng imagined. Many people have the same thoughts. How good would it be if they could take the opportunity to meet Xia Xiang? Who has a few companies secretly supported in Bao City. If Xia Xiang is interested and reorganized, it will not only attract funds, but also take the opportunity to make a fortune, killing two birds with one stone. All the good things that are in Xia Xiang's words are all in Xia Xiang's words.
So several members of the Standing Committee of Bao City, including the Executive Vice Mayor, lowered their attitude when shook hands with Xia Xiang and did not dare to act like a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Just kidding, not mentioning that Xia Xiang is the son-in-law of Secretary Cao, just because he is now a former celebrity of Governor Song, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and a Secretary of the Yan Municipal Party Committee, is well known to everyone, and his weight in the leadership group, who doesn’t flatter you?
Not to mention the recent rumors that "Xia Xiang is angry and Fengli runs away", which makes people even more speculate. It is said that Fengli was personally proposed to get the old cadre bureau. Doesn't it mean that Secretary Ye also favors Xia Xiang? Just because Xia Xiang quarreled with Fengli, Fengli was moved away for him!
The rumors are really distorted and the more distorted, the more exaggerated it is. Even Xia Xiang didn't know that Fengli became a victim of politics, but in the eyes of officials who didn't know the truth outside, they were taken down by the provincial party secretary because of a quarrel with him.
Bao City Propaganda Minister Bu Wuben and Fengli met and had some friendship. He also vaguely heard Fengli say bad things about Xia Xiang with dissatisfaction. After three rounds of wine, he became a little drunk and toasted Xia Xiang with alcohol, saying: "Director Xia, although Fengli and I have some friendship, I still stand with you firmly in the face of major issues. Director Xia was angry and Fengli ran away - I fully agree with your approach. Fengli is too outrageous, and I hope Director Xia will not think that I will abolish the public for personal gain..."
Xia Xiang was stunned. Whatever happened to him, why did Fengli run away when he got angry. It was really spread. But the truth of the matter was difficult to explain clearly, so he had to vaguely make excuses.
No matter what, the banquet was successful and everything went smoothly. Xia Xiang was very good at everything, leaving everyone with a good impression of being talkative, unpretentious, kind and smart, and admired the ancient jade with all his heart. In the past, he didn't think Xia Xiang was anything but popular in the leadership group office, and he didn't see how popular he was. Now when he arrived in Baoshi, he realized that Xia Xiang was good at dancing. In front of the leaders of the city below, he behaved appropriately, respected but not arrogantly, spoke gently, and made people feel polite.
Gu Yu thought, Xia Xiang was really hard to see through. She always showed another unknown side and always gave people surprises. It seemed that there were still many places to learn from him.
The next day, Xia Xiang sorted out the experiences, thoughts and first-hand materials from the inspection into detailed information and faxed them to Wei Xin, asking Wei Xin to talk to Mike in a targeted manner. Soon Wei Xin replied that Mike had time next week and asked Baoshi to send an invitation letter as soon as possible.
Xia wanted to tell Qiu Xufeng the news, but Qiu Xufeng didn't know what to say, and there was no one around him, so he joked: "I want to have a sister. If she likes you, even if she doesn't have the status to follow you, I won't stop her... It's a pity that I only have one sister."
Xia Xiang remembered the power of Sister Qiu Xufeng, and couldn't help but feel shocked and said hurriedly: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm a good person, whoever likes you likes to deceive other people's sisters. Okay, I have to go back to Yan City, and there are still things to deal with in Dan City."
Qiu Xufeng was startled and asked, "What do you know? Did Mei Xiaolin say bad things about me?"
Xia Xiang saw Qiu Xufeng and thought he knew his past embarrassing things and couldn't forget them. He couldn't help but laugh: "What bad things you have done? You know the bad things you have done yourself, so don't ask me."
After saying that, he ignored Qiu Xufeng's repeated questions and left, leaving only a proud back for Qiu Xufeng.
On the way back, Gu Yu peeked at Xia from time to time, thinking about what he wanted to say, but he kept holding back his mouth. Finally, after Gu Yu looked at him countless times, Xia Xiang couldn't help it: "Gu Yu, just open your mouth if you have something to say, don't hesitate. Aren't you always talking straightforward?"
"I'm afraid that speaking out will hurt your self-esteem." Gu Yu lacked enough awe for his superiors in front of Xia Xiang, and always spoke to Xia Xiang with an equal and casual attitude. Xia Xiang didn't care. He also knew that he had no capital to entrusted in front of Gu Yu. Besides, he had never had the habit of pretending.
"It doesn't matter. If there is, change it, and if there is no, encourage it. I am not a child, and I will hurt my self-esteem at any time." Xia Xiang smiled and turned his head to look at Gu Yu.
After accidentally seeing it, I happened to see Gu Yu bent down slightly and leaned forward to get the information on the dashboard. Xia Xiang's eyes fell into the collar of Gu Yu. He saw the peaks halfway into the clouds, and the white dove was about to spread its wings, and the snow-white and pink were interspersed, making it infinitely charming.
Of course, Xia Xiang is a person who has experienced the best woman. He doesn’t feel so beautiful when he just takes a look. But what men can’t stand the most is often not the visual impact, but the dual temptation of both visual temptation and fragrance that benefits people. The ancient jade has the most addictive and unexciting woman fragrance.
Especially when her collar lowered, perhaps because she squeezed her clothes, an extremely intoxicating fragrance overflowed from her chest and rushed straight to Xia Xiang's nose. When Xia Xiang smelled it, she felt refreshed and almost couldn't help it...
Fortunately, I tried my best to wrinkle my nose and forced the urge to sneeze.
The ancient jade is wearing a light yellow dress, and all the exposed skin is as clean as jade. Some women have poor exposed skin and good skin on their bodies. Some women have good exposed skin but bad skin on their bodies. The ancient jade is consistent with the appearance and inside. Xia Xiang has reached the conclusion with just a glance that the skin of ancient jade is no less good than Cao Shuken, no less than Lian Ruohan, and no less than Yan Xiao.
Cao Shuqian's skin is delicate and smooth, white and healthy. Yanxia's skin is watery and transparent, white and transparent. The skin of ancient jade is firm and smooth, white and charming. Yes, it is not because the whitest ancient jade is, nor because the skin of ancient jade is smoothest, but because the skin of ancient jade is the most energetic and funny. Xia Xiang can even imagine the amazing elasticity of her skin, which should be like beautiful jade, warm and pleasant. What is most intoxicating is that the fragrance that always radiates from her skin is the temptation that makes men linger.
Gu Yu discovered Xia Xiang's gaze, sat upright as if nothing had happened, and smiled mischievously: "Actually, what I want to say is that I have always been very curious about you and respect you very much, but after contact, I also found that you are just an ordinary man. Maybe there are some advantages that other men do not have, but you have a lot of common shortcomings of other men."
"What do you mean is that I accidentally looked at your collar just now?" Xia Xiang was generous and said it directly.
"Yes, that's right." Gu Yu said angrily, "Also, when you were going to Baoshi, you revealed your essence as soon as you got on the bus, and your nose kept smelling. I only realized that no wonder you asked me to go on a business trip with you. It turned out that you had a dark ghost in your heart and had bad ideas."
Xia Xiang had to complain: "Since you are working in the leadership group, you have to listen to my work arrangements. There is a fragrance on your body, and I have to smell it even if I don't smell it. It's good if I don't blame you for deliberately seducing people. You still blame me for being irritated? Also, just now you bent down to get something, I just wanted to remind you to wear a seat belt, and accidentally saw the peaks and mountains half into the clouds. You said it was intentional, it was obvious that you were too suspicious!"
Gu Yu was so angry that she glared at Xia Xiang: "Shamely, she is good at getting a bargain and acts good at it. When I turn around, I will tell my grandfather that I will not go to work and avoid being bullied by you."
"Okay, okay, don't be like a child. You are carrying a strange fragrance on your own. I am passively being overwhelmed by the fragrance. Besides, I was definitely not looking at you on purpose just now. In fact, I am not that shallow, right? Don't think too much, let's talk about the current situation of Wanli Automobile Factory." Xia Xiang even coaxed and deceived him. He is now a married man, and there are three different women around him who can coax him. Even Ruohan, who likes to make things difficult for him the most, can be easily handled by dealing with the best-tempered ancient jade.
Gu Yu was indeed obedient. As soon as Xia Xiang said this, he immediately forgot about the unhappiness just now and talked about the situation of Wanli Automobile Factory.
After obtaining investment, Wanli Automobile Factory changed its strategy of producing only pickup trucks and light trucks due to the strong intervention of ancient jade, and began to transform and produce the first cuv, and named it Winner. The design of Winner referenced the appearance of foreign famous cars and improved it to be more suitable for the aesthetics of Chinese people. Guyu liked the appearance of Winner, but lacked confidence in the market.
"Urban recreational vehicles are in line with the mood of urban people who want to relax and enjoy the mountains and rivers after work. They have the driving experience and handling of cars, and the functions of multi-purpose sports cars, and also pay attention to the economy of fuel. They will definitely be very popular. Nowadays, people's psychology is mostly contradictory, wanting to work and leisure. And the cuv came into being, as comfortable and economical as a bridge car, and as multi-functional as an off-road vehicle, which is in line with the characteristics of today's people." Xia Xiang strengthened his confidence in ancient jade in terms of applicability.
Gu Yu opened her curious eyes and looked at Xia and thought: "You seem to know a little bit of everything. It's strange. I admire you a little again."
Xia Xiang had no love for the admiration of the little girl in ancient jade, and ignored her surprised gaze and said, "Wanli Automobile Factory has good basic conditions and great prospects. You have a good vision. Choosing Wanli Automobile Factory is a good move. After Cuv is successfully launched into the market, you can put the issue of the accessories branch on the agenda. How about it?"
Gu Yu said "um" and laughed: "Where is my good vision? I have followed your ideas. Otherwise, if cuv fails, how should I ask you?"
"My idea is a good idea. If it is not successful, it is the executor's problem, not my plan is bad." Xia Xiang was very scoundrel and did not bear joint and several liability at all.
