Chapter 564 Fox's Tail
Chapter 564 The Fox's Tail
In Shangyan, Xia Xiang didn't think that Cheng Dacai's 5 billion yuan of funds could be used in vain by relying on favors. He also believed that his face was not that great, even Chen Feng did not! It is no exaggeration to say that even the provincial party secretary Ye Shisheng would not borrow 5 billion yuan of funds from Cheng Dacai with a red mouth and white teeth, without any return.
Xia Xiang laughed: "Look, I was about to say that Cheng Zheng mentioned it first, but I seemed to be ignorant."
Cheng Dacai laughed: "I am not going to give your army, but knowing your character, so I promised to lend you 5 billion without asking for the reward. If it were someone else, I would not agree if I had to think about it again and again. To ask for a reward from you, I would have to give it to me and how to operate it? I don't want to be kept in the dark, otherwise I would have to lend me 5 billion to return me 6 billion, and I would also disagree."
What Chengda Cai wanted was a process of how to implement it. Naturally, he looked at it for the long term than others. He did not just seek immediate benefits, but also wanted to benefit from it. He wanted to know Xia Xiang's careful plan. Chengda Cai found out that Xia Xiang's business acumen and plan were far better than a return of hundreds of millions of yuan.
Xia Xiang smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Cheng, I really need to keep it a secret for the time being... To put it bluntly, I don't have to hide it from you and Secretary Chen. The main reason is that I am just guessing the trend of the 20 billion investment now and don't want to put it out. Only when they really take action, will I reach out to borrow money from you, and I will tell you, how about it?"
Cheng Dacai looked at Xia Xiang with a serious look on his face for a moment, and picked up the tea: "Come on, use tea instead of wine, it's done."
Xia wanted to know, but Cheng Da agreed.
Several people drank tea for an afternoon and talked about many topics, and they were all over the world. Cheng Dacai was in high spirits today and revealed some love affairs from that time, which made Xia Xiang finally believe a saying, whether it is a high-ranking official or a big businessman, as long as a man is a man, he will be sad for women. Heroes are sad for beauty, and have been passed down through the ages and have been tried and tested again and again.
When the song ended and the people parted, Xia Xiang remembered the upcoming changes in Yan Province. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was necessary to remind Chen Feng that even if the Wu family wanted to interfere in Yan City's affairs, they would have to decentralize power from Chen Feng. At present, Xia Xiang still felt closer to Chen Feng in terms of love and was more willing to Chen Feng to control the situation in Yan City.
"Secretary Chen, have you heard any storm? Someone in Yan City wants to move?" Xia Xiang asked tentatively.
Chen Feng was stunned. He always knew that Xia Xiang was steady and would not speak randomly. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "The situation is very stable, and Yan City has just moved a deputy mayor. There should be no more changes in the short term, and he has not noticed any movement? What rumors have you heard?"
Xia thought about it and said in a vague way: "No, either, I just feel that Minister Fang has reached his qualifications, and it is almost time to take a step forward."
Chu Tong sent a few people to the entrance of the alley and took out a platinum card to give to Xia Xiang, saying, "It can be seen that District Mayor Xia is a gentleman and should prefer a quiet environment. I will give you a discount card. If you have time, bring more friends here."
Xia wanted to take the platinum card, and after he put it away, he hugged him and smiled: "I will definitely support you if you have the opportunity."
Cheng Da patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder: "But don't just talk casually. If you have any activities or parties in the future, come to Hongxiu Qingxiang."
"The fragrance of red sleeves is an elegant thing. Once the golden mouth of Cheng Zong opens, he will definitely come often in the future." Xia Xiang's eyes flashed, he glanced at Chu Tong, and a smile revealed a sense of sincerity and affection.
Chu Tong was swept by Xia Xiang's eyes, and his heart was inexplicably beaten. He thought to himself that although Xia Xiang was not old, he was also a dignified district chief and a person who had been in the officialdom for a long time. Why was his eyes so clear? When he looked at people, he seemed to have no impurities, which was completely different from other men's lustful eyes.
Until Xia Xiang and others walked far away, Chu Tong was still standing blankly at the entrance of the alley, with a hint of doubt and helplessness in her eyes, and even more lonely and sad. I don’t know what she was thinking.
On Monday morning, several emergencies were handled. Because several relocated households were not satisfied with the apartment types given to them by Jiangshan Real Estate, they insisted on changing them. Xia Xiang asked Wu Gang to deal with it.
When get off work was about to get off at noon, Chao Weigang asked Xia for advice, saying that Yuan Mingliang, the chairman of Changji Trading, held a banquet at a wealthy hotel and wanted to invite District Mayor Xia.
Yuan Mingliang was finally about to show up. Xia Xiang was about to meet him, so he nodded in agreement and ordered: "Please Tianyu, Yuanqing and Comrade Hongxin to attend the banquet together."
Chao Weigang agreed a little lonely, feeling a little nervous, feeling that District Mayor Xia did not take him there because of distrust of him.
After a while, Jin Hongxin came to report that the car was ready and he could set off. When Xia Xiang set off, he passed by Chao Weigang and patted his shoulder and said, "Office work is more important than eating and drinking. Be familiar with the work and strive to make progress as soon as possible."
A sentence made Chao Weigang's heart full of enthusiasm, and his eyes were almost moistened by gratitude. District Mayor Xia really cared about his growth and did not allow him to devote himself to the career of eating and drinking too early. For him who was just starting out, familiarity with work is more important than any banquet.
He nodded heavily: "Yes, District Mayor Xia, I've recorded it."
When Xia Xiang arrived at the wealthy hotel, Yuan Mingliang had just waited for five minutes. Seeing that Xia Xiang's schedule was very appropriate, but it was not too late, and he did not lose his identity and gave him face, he had a higher evaluation of Xia Xiang.
50-year-old Yuan Mingliang is not tall, thin, but energetic. To be precise, he reveals a shrewd and capable temperament all over his body, but it is not a shrewdness that makes people be wary of when they see it. It is a shrewdness that makes people feel profitable when they see it, and they think that his advanced vision will definitely make your investment return!
Such a person reveals aura all over his body, an aura that makes people trust and willing to hand over funds to him for operation.
When he saw Yuan Mingliang at the first glance, Xia Xiang understood Yuan Mingliang's advantages. Yuan Mingliang's smile was sincere, his eyes were very smart, and his clothes revealed a sense of wealth, but he did not have the vulgarity of the household - he was a smart and good at judging the situation. Xia Xiang made a first conclusion about Yuan Mingliang.
Yuan Mingliang's original intention today was to only invite Xia Xiang, but he didn't expect that several people got out of the car. He didn't know Chen Tianyu and the others, but then he thought that the few people must be Xia Xiang's confidants. Specifically, they were people from the government team. He thought to himself that Xia Xiang was really powerful. He brought outsiders to him, obviously pretending to be in business and not giving him any chance to contact him in private.
Or, don't give him the opportunity to promise or give gifts.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Yuan Mingliang's eyes.
The purpose of Yuan Mingliang's banquet at Xia Xiang today was to give Xia Xiang some benefits and make Xia Xiang more convenient in the future. He also knew that it would be difficult to do whatever he wanted in the Xiama District if Bai Zhanmo was only proud of his efforts. As long as Xia Xiang really wanted to find trouble for Changji's trade, there were also solutions. After all, the government had great power. From an administrative perspective, the head of the district was the legal representative of the Xiama District and had completely independent administrative power.
It's okay to meet a district mayor who can tolerate the secretary. When it comes to a district mayor who refuses to delegate power, Bai Zhanmo takes the authority of the top leader to suppress Xia Xiang, which may not be effective. Yuan Mingliang is a smart person. He knows that under the current political system, it's okay to talk to district mayors but not to talk to. Even if Bai Zhanmo makes a name for Changji's business, the government will have ways to make things difficult for him everywhere.
Moreover, Yuan Mingliang did not think that Xia Xiang was a district principal with a good temper. Although he also knew that Xia Xiang had made a comprehensive compromise with Bai Zhanmo on the investment of 20 billion yuan. But District Principal Xia could not speak, so he would not take the initiative to show his kindness. He had to wait until something was asking for help, and he would deal with District Principal Xia again, which seemed that he was too ignorant of being a human being.
So, Yuan Mingliang came out to invite Xia Xiang to the banquet.
After getting off the car, Jin Hongxin hurriedly helped Xia Xiang open the car door. Chao Weigang did not accompany him, so he had to wink.
After Xia Xiang got off the car, he shook hands with Yuan Mingliang enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan is so polite. I should treat you to a meal. Why do you have the nerve to make you spend money?"
Yuan Mingliang looked at Xia Xiang secretly for a few glances. He was handsome, heroic, polite, open-minded and unpretentious. Another thing is that he was young, and at first glance, no one would believe that he was the head of the first district and the deputy department level, especially his every move, without any pretentious behavior, which made him even more secretly amazed.
Which one of the people who can get to the level of a deputy department in the officialdom is not an old man in the officialdom? Generally, when he reaches Xia Xiang's level, even if he has no official power, he is somewhat annoying and likes to speak in a slight manner. Xia Xiang doesn't. He smiles calmly and stands calmly, as if he is like a friend who feels intimate at first sight, and makes people respect and love him.
Rather than mere awe.
Yuan Mingliang was a little confused. How did Xia Xiang climb to the high position of the district mayor? He didn't look like a versatile person. Could it be that being honest and close to the superiors can be appreciated by his superiors in the officialdom?
Although he was puzzled, Yuan Mingliang still responded enthusiastically to Xia Xiang and said, "London Mayor Xia is so polite. In fact, it was my misconduct. I have been here in the Mama District for a few days and should have visited you a long time ago. I just have been busy with business and can't get away. Don't have any objections to me."
When we met, we were very polite and very polite. In the first round, we tied.
When they arrived at the private room of the wealthy hotel, Yuan Mingliang had arranged everything. After everyone sat down separately, Xia Xiang introduced Chen Tianyu, Xie Yuanqing and Jin Hongxin to Yuan Mingliang again. Yuan Mingliang shook hands enthusiastically and gave him a business card.
Yuan Mingliang was alone, and he was not at all afraid. He first toasted Xia Xiang and the others in turn. Xia Xiang also gave him face and drank it all in one go. Chen Tianyu acted at Xia Xiang's wink for several days and even had a drink.
After drinking for three rounds, Yuan Mingliang briefly introduced the situation of Changji Trade.
"Changji Trading was established in 1998 with a registered capital of 1 billion. It is a large trading group integrating scientific research, technological development and foreign trade. It currently has more than 500 employees. Changji Trading attaches importance to the prosperous prospects of Xiama District and is willing to contribute a meager force in the economic construction of Xiama District. In the future, Changji Trading's economic activities and various investments in Xiama District will also ask District Mayor Xia to take care of it for convenience and give policy preferential treatment." Yuan Mingliang drank a few glasses of wine. Although he was not young, he seemed to be a little drunk. He was full of red and was slightly excited when he spoke.
Xia Xiang would not be deceived by Yuan Mingliang's appearance. Some people blushed when drinking because of alcohol allergies, some people are overly excited, while others are red, which is a kind of fighting spirit burning. Obviously, Yuan Mingliang belongs to the latter.
There is an animal in nature called chameleon, which can change the color of the body and cleverly integrate with the surrounding environment so as not to be noticed by natural enemies. Yuan Mingliang's blushing is also a kind of disguise, showing his enemy as weak, and making the other party lose his guard against him. He thinks that he is not good at drinking and is already drunk, so he will relax his vigilance.
Xia Xiang didn't point it out, but just smiled: "The Xiama District is in a mess. It is just that Mr. Yuan, who is far-sighted and insightful entrepreneurs like Mr. Yuan are needed to invest and develop. On behalf of the district party committee and government, I would like to express a warm welcome to Mr. Yuan's decision to invest 20 billion in Xiama District." After saying the cliché, he asked with concern, "Does Mr. Yuan have a relatively shallow alcohol tolerance? Otherwise, we should drink less?"
Yuan Mingliang deliberately said with his tongue: "It's okay, it's okay. Although I am from the south, I am not as good as you northerners, but I am also very happy. I drink a thousand cups of wine. District Mayor Xia and I fell in love with each other when we saw it, and I was happy. Even if I was drunk, it was nothing."
Xia Xiang laughed: "Okay, come on, I'll give you a cup."
Yuan Mingliang and Xia Xiang clinked glasses, drank them in one sip, and said, "District Mayor Xia, if I say anything inappropriate, don't blame me..."
Some people drown their sorrows, some people drown their sorrows, and some people drown their sorrows, and some people drown their sorrows, Yuan Mingliang obviously wanted to drown and talk about alcohol. Xia Xiang said, "Where did Mr. Yuan say? Everyone sits together just to be happy, make friends, and leave with the wine when they say it at the table."
Xie Yuanqing was silent for a long time and suddenly laughed: "When I was in college, I knew a very classic saying is that what men say at the table and women say in bed are equally unreliable."
Chen Tianyu knew that Xia wanted to deliberately create a relaxed atmosphere. When he heard Xie Yuanqing's words, he laughed out loud: "Yuanqing, listen to your feelings, have you been hurt by a woman?"
Xie Yuanqing said angrily: "In experience, it may not be because of the injury of women, but because women have been hurt too much by me, so I feel it."
Yuan Mingliang also laughed: "Haha, it's great to be with young people, which makes me, the old man, feel several years younger. Xiama District is a young district with a young district chief, which gives people a feeling full of vitality. Just like the real estate market in Xiama District, it is full of vitality and must have great prospects. I want to buy a house on the banks of Xiama River to support my old age."
Finally getting to the point, Xia Xiang took over and said, "Mr. Yuan is also interested in the real estate market in Xiama District? By the way, is Changji Trading's 20 billion investment mainly based on technological innovation or real estate? Or do you have other plans?"
Yuan Mingliang made a haha and said a little drunk: "The first batch of 5 billion yuan of funds from Changji Trading has been in place. The initial plan is to invest in a most luxurious golf course in North China. The relevant project and report have been transferred to District Mayor Xie by Secretary Bai's instructions..." He did not forget to raise a glass to Xie Yuanqing, but Xie Yuanqing just nodded and did not raise a glass. Yuan Mingliang didn't care. He also said, "The subsequent funds are mainly investing in high-tech. The initial intention is to build a semiconductor factory, medium and long-term
The plan is to invest in an LCD panel factory. Xiama District has policy advantages. Human resources can take advantage of the convenient conditions of Beijing. At the same time, the salary of employees is not high, and there are unique conditions. Moreover, in the future, intercity railways will be built between Beijing and Yan City, which will pass through the city from the middle of Xiama District. The distance between Beijing and Beijing is shortened to one hour. Various convenient conditions are combined. In addition, with the huge consumer market and export advantages to Beijing, Changji Trading hopes to take root in Xiama District and take off with Xiama District..."
I have to say that Yuan Mingliang's speech with passion made people feel excited when they heard it. I thought what he had just said was really the business strategy of Changji Trading, and I believed that Changji Trading really had the idea of taking root in Xiama District to build an industry. As the saying goes, saying that after drinking, Yuan Mingliang's words under a slightly drunken state would at least think that they would be 80% credible.
However, in Xia Xiang's opinion, he didn't even have 10% credibility. Because his attention had long been on the sentence Yuan Mingliang seemed to say inadvertently, that was to get off the horse and buy a house for retirement... Xia Xiang knew that Yuan Mingliang took the opportunity to divert his attention and would eventually lead the topic to real estate.
Of course, the excuse is that he wants to buy a house and live in the Xiama area for a long time, because his investment has medium- and long-term plans, which is a very smart and roundabout way.
Chen Tianyu saw Xia wanting to laugh but didn't say anything, and knew it was time for him to come forward. To be honest, Chen Tianyu also believed Yuan Mingliang's words a little bit. Xiama District and even the entire Yan City did lack high-precision enterprises. After hearing Yuan Mingliang said just now, he knew that he had done his homework and was very clear about it. Obviously, he really had the intention to invest in semiconductors and LCD factories. He said with appreciation: "Mr. Yuan's business vision is indeed keen, and the analysis just now was very insightful. If Changji Trading really wanted to invest in high-tech industries, the Xiama District Government would spare no effort to provide various preferential policies, not only taxes, but also land, etc.."
Yuan Mingliang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, great. As soon as I came to Yan City and Xiama District, I felt the affection and kindness of the people of Yan City. I was very happy and felt like I was going home. If the 20 billion investment was fully deployed, it would take at least three to five years. It would be bad to stay in a hotel. I thought, if I really wanted to take root in Xiama District, I would still have to buy a house to live in. Can District Mayor Xia recommend a reputable property?"
