Chapter 496: The fourth game of the final battle, and the victory was

Chu Ran thought about it, shook his head, stopped talking, and obviously admitted his failure.

Zhang Yang knew that it was time for him to come forward. He was hit by Fan Zheng just now and his arrogance was much more restrained, but his tone still had an aggressive aura: "Director Xia, did you admit that the negotiations with Kodak were a bargain, not because of the promotion of industrial structure adjustment policies that brought in $1.5 billion in funds?"

Zhang Yang's question was too obvious. He obviously wanted to belittle Yan Province's policy of industrial structure adjustment. Xia Xiang immediately said with a serious expression: "Yan Province's policy is the decision of Yan Province's party committee and government. As a member of the leading group, I naturally have to implement it unswervingly, but I will not answer any questions about the policy of discussing industrial structure adjustment. Besides, you are not only an outsider, but also have no experience in working in government agencies, and you are not qualified to say anything! I just want to start from my perspective and personal work experience to discuss the implementation of some specific projects under the policy..."

Xia Xiang's meaning clearly told Zhang Yang and Cheng Xixue that he would not participate in the discussion of any questions that would guide the direction of whether the industrial structure adjustment policy is correct or not, but would only give some answers to his specific work.

Cheng Xixue frowned slightly behind him, and a trace of undetectable worry flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yang was slightly embarrassed and stunned. In order to ask Xia Xiang, he still agreed with Xia Xiang’s statement: “Okay, we will only discuss topics for your specific work.”

"The negotiations with Kodak actually have many inside stories... I don't agree with Dr. Zhang's statement that he picked up a cheap one. Of course, when I contacted Kodak, Dafu had been negotiating with Kodak for more than a year. When I took over, the biggest advantage was that everyone was familiar with it and no longer had to try to contact him. But at the same time, there was a biggest disadvantage, that after more than a year of contact, Kodak had completely grasped Dafu's bottom line, so I took over the negotiations with Kodak at this time, and wanted to convince them to change the principle that they had adhered to for more than a year. It was even more difficult!"

Zhang Yang did not expect that Xia Xiang took advantage of the situation and directly described the negotiations that had been held for more than a year as difficulties rather than advantages. He was so proud that he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. On the other hand, Xia Xiang's statement seemed to make sense, and he really couldn't find a reason to refute. He couldn't help but sigh secretly that Xia Xiang was really a person with a lotus flower. Not only was he calm, but his clever twists in his words were also unparalleled.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang also knew that as a pawn of Cheng Xixue, Chu Ran and Zhang Yang stood up impatiently to shake the flag and shout for Cheng Xixue. One is to disrupt his thinking, and the other is to pave the way. Since they jumped out, he moved to two stumbling blocks without saying anything. Moreover, he was fighting with him on the surface, but who didn't know that he was actually fighting with Cheng Xixue!

"When negotiating with Kodak, I set three bottom lines for myself. First, national brands cannot be lost, they must be preserved, no matter how much the other party invests, they must retain their controlling rights. Second, there must be a long-term development plan, and they cannot just attract investment, regardless of the long-term returns. Third, they must invest in the production line of digital cameras, because with the rise of digital cameras, the market for film cameras will gradually shrink and will withdraw from the market. In the future, cameras will be the world of digital cameras."

As soon as Xia Xiang said something, it immediately attracted a lot of discussion.

"Impossible, how can a digital camera replace a film camera? It's a dream."

"This Xia Xiang is too arrogant. He dared to draw such a big conclusion in front of countless economists. Digital cameras have many natural shortcomings and can never replace the market position of traditional cameras."

"I don't believe that digital cameras will eventually unify the market. The dependence of digital cameras is too high. Without a computer, there will be no place to store photos taken by digital cameras. So the conclusion that digital cameras replace film cameras is too early."

Hearing a voice of objection, Cheng Xixue finally smiled. It seems that it is a normal decision to hold Xia Xiang on stage. Young people have little experience and little knowledge. They are easily floating on stage and forgetful, and they are easily excited and can easily speak big words when they are excited. When they are said big words, they will have the excuse to be attacked.

Cheng Xixue stood up in time and said in a serious tone: "Xia Xiang, in front of all the experts, don't overstate it, let alone big talk, especially the predictions of the market. Everyone here is very famous economists in Beijing and even the country. Their insights on the market are naturally much stronger than you. You said that it is a digital camera that can replace traditional cameras. Isn't it a bit unreasonable? After hearing what you said, I am very doubtful now whether you convinced Kodak to invest in, or did you have friends in the United States who helped you?"

Cheng Xixue said this to Xia Xiang in a half-joking tone. As a master of academic circles, he was embarrassed to directly attack Xia Xiang, and speaking it in a relaxed and joking tone was in line with his identity.

Xia Xiang was not in a hurry. He made an amazing argument, which was to lure the snake out of the hole and let Cheng Xixue come forward earlier to confront him head-on. Instead, he smiled and said, "It was indeed me who convinced Kodak to make an investment decision..."

"How to convince?" Cheng Xixue still had a smile on his face.

"I convinced Kodak with the idea that digital cameras will eventually replace traditional cameras, and finally, with the approval of the board of directors, I made a decision to invest $1.5 billion!"

A stone hit a thousand layers of waves. As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became silent.

Xia Xiang's words subverted the concepts of all the conservatives here. They also discussed in private how Xia Xiang convinced and impressed Kodak's senior management, which made Kodak finally decide to invest in Baoshi. He also came to various strange conclusions, but he did not expect that the truth was a thousand miles apart from their conclusions!

How could it be - a digital camera?

But everyone also knew that Xia Xiang could not and dared not tell lies in front of many economists, not to mention that his mentor Zou Ru was still sitting in the front row. It was just that the truth was too shocked and it was still unacceptable for a while.

Even Cheng Xixue was speechless. She thought about it, but she deliberately swears people's appetite. When everyone was eager to know the truth, he brought out his arguments, which made people not accept them and they had to accept them.

Smart, smart means!

What Xia Xiang wanted was not to discuss the specific process with everyone, but to tell everyone a fact through this opportunity. The effect he wanted to achieve was not to make everyone accept the industrial structure adjustment policy, nor to intentionally promote himself, but to minimize the adverse impact of Cheng Xixue's speech.

Because Xia thought about his own advantages and shortcomings, it was impossible to convince Cheng Xixue in theory. He did not have such profound theoretical knowledge, and it was difficult to distinguish between theoretical debates. If he really wanted to debate with Cheng Xixue here, even if he was reluctant to defeat, he would still be defeated. He could only speak with facts and use facts that everyone could not believe but were indeed true and true to draw an indisputable conclusion.

Xia Xiang glanced at Cheng Xixue, then looked at Chu Ran and Zhang Yang, knowing that the last time had come, and he could no longer be entangled with Cheng Xixue. Yi quickly fought and decided quickly, but it was not easy to delay it for a long time. He was slightly silent for a moment and said with a serious look: "Some people speculated that I was a small bureaucrat, even a corrupt official, and some people thought that I had talent and insights, but they were not. I was just an ordinary person, an ordinary young man. Like the classmates here, I had dreams, ideals, passions, and impulsiveness. I was just in the key position of the Yan Provincial Industrial Structure Adjustment Leading Group, and naturally became the target of public criticism. If I give up my ideals because of grievances and retreated because of unfair treatment, I would not only be sorry for the trust of my superiors, but also for the oath I made!"

"I think my classmates, like me, have had lofty ambitions and beautiful dreams before they enter society. Dreams are indeed beautiful, because dreams only exist in our imagination. If we want to dream, it must be as good as we want, so it is beautiful and desirable. But reality is often helpless and even cruel, because the success of every thing requires countless efforts, with more or less resistance, and even artificial destruction."

"Yes, I admit that I have retreated and disappointed. I also cried in tears when the night is quiet. People's ideals are different, but one thing is the same, that is, they are willing to be useful to society, are willing to be valued, and are willing to rely on their own strength to make more people live a better life. If you are in politics, it is the most basic concept of benefiting the people for one term. If you do business, it is the business path that makes more people rich while you are rich. Human beings have the most fundamental and most beautiful emotion, which is love. Those who are officials love the people, those who are doing business love their employees, respect and love each other, and the world will be better."

Xia Xiang took a deep breath to make himself appear calmer and calmer, because the next words will be his heartfelt words.

"There are two things in the world that are the most shocking. One is the ideal that we have pursued throughout our lives, and the other is the responsibility that we must bear in reality. Because of ideals, we are full of hope for the future. Because of responsibility, we carry the burden and move forward without hesitation. My ideal is not lofty. To be honest, from a small point, I just hope that I can have a car that can be used, a comfortable house, and a lover who knows the cold and the hot. To be honest, I hope that I and my department can successfully and completely handle every task assigned by my superiors.

I hope that I and my colleagues have bonuses, can be recognized by superiors, and have opportunities for promotion. In the broadest sense, I hope that if I can dominate the country one day, I must remember the concept of being an official and benefiting the people. I dare not say how great the contribution I have to make to the people, nor do I want the GDP of my ruling place to be high and the ranking is high. I just want everyone to have enough food and clothing, have jobs and housing, let the elderly have a support, let students learn and teach, let workers have income, and let patients have medical treatment..."

Xia Xiang's heart was filled with emotion and passion. He was speaking to everyone. Isn't it a manifestation of his voice? Although he always had a calm and calm attitude, he was physically and mentally exhausted, shaken, and had the idea of ​​retreating when facing political inclination and opponents' designs. He had no worries about food and clothing, and also had assets that could guarantee his life's wealth. He had to rise and fall in the crisis-ridden officialdom. What was he doing? Is it just the desire for power in his bones? It was just the pleasure of trampling others under his feet?

No, of course not!

Xia Xiang really doesn’t have much ambitions, and he doesn’t want to change society and history by relying on his own strength. He only hopes to enter the officialdom, do his best to change everything he can, and try to restore fairness when encountering injustice. When encountering someone worthy of support, try to speed up his life. When meeting someone he loves, try to make her live a better life. If he can sit at a high position, try to do something practical to benefit the people, let corrupt officials fall, and let those who are capable take the lead.

But everything is easy to say, but too difficult to do. Not to mention that every step encounters resistance of all sizes, even if you sit at a high position like the provincial party secretary, you will be restrained everywhere, because a person's power is limited after all, because if most people want to gain benefits, you must leverage the interests of conservative forces and monopoly groups.

It is precisely because of his firm support for the adjustment of the industrial structure that the interests of the conservative forces behind Cheng Xixue were touched, and Cheng Xixue repeatedly suppressed and attacked him, not only criticizing him in newspapers, but also criticizing him at speeches... He seemed to be calm in dealing with it, but who knows the huge pressure he was under in his heart?

Xia Xiang saw the crowds of people in the audience, some were silent, some smiled, some thought, some laughed, and some laughed, and the mood calmed down: "Remove the halo of directors on me, and not mention my identity as a leader in the leadership group, in fact, I am just like everyone else, and I am also an ordinary young man, with dreams, passion, happiness and pain. Maybe I have limited abilities, maybe I have all kinds of shortcomings, but since I have served as the director of the leadership group, no matter what kind of blame, what kind of difficulties, or what kind of slander I face, I have to grit my teeth and face everything bravely - no matter which leader the blame and difficulties come from,

No matter which famous expert and professor is from, I am like everyone else, I have ideals and pursuits, and I will not give up easily. Any success cannot be achieved overnight. I can learn twice as much as I lack ability, I can work hard to correct my shortcomings, I can endure all kinds of accusations, I can endure it silently, nothing, I think as long as I persevere to the end, as long as I make the results I deserve, as long as I have a clear conscience, as long as I can be worthy of all those who trust and support me, then those criticisms and difficulties, slander and slander, let them go, I don’t refute or argue, I just want to work hard and prove everything with my grades!"

After more than ten seconds of silence, there was a burst of applause like a tide.

Xia Xiang's eyes saw tears and bowed deeply to the audience: "I know life and death, cold and cold, honor and disgrace, happiness and pain. I am just an ordinary citizen, a young man who strives for his ideals to do his best, and an idealist who "who will benefit the country's life and death, how can he avoid misfortune and blessings." Finally, I just want to say one more thing, although many people have doubts or speculations, as well as insults and slander, I also have a sentence for them: I have no shame in the world, and praise and criticism, and I will give them spring and autumn!"

Accompanied by the thunderous applause, all the professors in the first row stood up, all the elites and leaders from the second row to the tenth row stood up, and then, everyone stood up in the hall of more than a thousand people!

For a moment, applause, cheers and screams of the students rang out. The atmosphere on the scene was like a raging fire. Everyone was ignited by Xia Xiang's passion, and their hearts were filled with emotion and emotion!

Yan Xiao applauded hard, tears flowing in his eyes. Who knows Xia Xiang’s grievances and bitterness? How many people have suppressed him and how many people have maliciously slandered him? He always looks calm and gentle. In fact, he is also a human being and needs comfort and care!

Fan Zheng held his hands tightly, his eyes firm and full of fighting spirit.

Zou Ru also looked relieved and satisfied. He had never felt as happy and moved as he was today. He was a summer dream, and he was a young man who knew honor and disgrace, cold and cold, warm and advanced and retreat!

Even Chu Ran and Zhang Yang were infected by Xia Xiang's speech, and they were full of admiration and constantly applauded. The Chinese exchanges were implicit and did not pay attention to emotional exposure. Xia Xiang's truth was revealed today, which not only made his image full and friendly, but also made everyone who knew and did not know him have a good impression of him, but also made him win everyone's sympathy in a very short time because of his affectionate speech.

Cheng Xixue sighed greatly. Although he was determined to suppress Xia Xiang, today's speech also made him feel a real Xia Xiang, a smart Xia Xiang, and a smart and changeable Xia Xiang. He also did not admire Xia Xiang's eloquence and affinity. He knew that today's wishes would not only fail, but also made Xia Xiang take this opportunity to become famous and win unprecedented favors from everyone!

Because Xia Xiang’s cleverness is that he does not talk about economy with economists or politics with experts and scholars. He uses humanistic spirit to talk to economists, communicates with college students with true feelings and passion, and at the same time wins the understanding and support of professors and students, and makes all the previous accusations and criticisms of Cheng Xixue to be gone.
