Chapter 739
: This is all
However, because Yuan Mingliang has stepped up the closing move in the Xiama area recently, Xia Xiang did not ask Cao Yongguo in detail the specific situation and details. Today, Cao Shuyan mentioned the Western Province again, and he couldn't help but feel moved. Could it be that the investor who is selling coal in the Western Province and Yuan Mingliang are fellow travelers?
With this question in mind, Xia Xiang sweetly hugged Cao Shuyan and fell asleep.
At noon the next day, Xia Xiang took steady steps and appeared in Yuan Mingliang's sight on time.
Yuan Mingliang, who was waiting by the Xiama River, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xia Xiang who was walking towards him with a faint smile. He couldn't tell what it felt like in his heart for a moment. If Xia Xiang was young at the beginning, and made him even look a little despise his political wisdom at first, a series of fights and events later showed that the handsome and calm young man in front of him was far more terrifying than the peaceful feeling he gave on the surface. In fact, he was a cold and ruthless opponent, always moving forward at his pace, firm and slow, without any mistakes.
Until today, when Xia Xiang's trump cards are endless, and when Xia Xiang's backhand moves kill people, Yuan Mingliang does feel a sense of despair. How could a small Xia Xiang, a deputy department-level cadre, even if he is the top leader of the Xiama District, no one can stop what he does. Even Fu Xianfeng, as the mayor, seems to have no effect on him!
And Li Han said that Ye Shisheng had a good impression of Li Han in the past, but suddenly he became cold to him again. When he reported to Ye Shisheng for work, Ye Shisheng also had an alienated and indifferent attitude and no longer expressed any opinions on the affairs of the Xiama District. Various signs indicate that Xia Xiang seemed to have regained Ye Shisheng's favor.
Xia Xiang almost completely missed the way for Changji Trading. Could it be that Xia Xiang really wanted to block Changji Trading in the Xiama area and refused to let Changji Trading survive?
Yuan Mingliang took a few steps forward, shook hands with Xia Xiang, and smiled: "Secretary Xia, his spirit is still the same, his style is even better than before, so he is happy to congratulate."
Xia Xiang knew very well that Yuan Mingliang's insincere polite words were insincere and smiled: "Mr. Yuan is also very energetic. Is it because of the promising prospects of Changji Supermarket?"
Changji Supermarket is indeed in good prospects, and its profit expectations are far beyond the estimates at the beginning, and even surpassing Feng Xuguang's Jiajia Supermarket. It really responds to the old saying that he was unintentionally inserted into Liu. Yuan Mingliang was just the only real estate investment that was a fake shot, and it was a great success. Should he be glad or a satirical?
Feng Xuguang's Jiajia Supermarket was one step behind and was too close to Changji Supermarket. The flow of people was far less prosperous than Changji Supermarket. Feng Xuguang learned from his mistakes and learned the management and stock-ticketing experience of Changji Supermarket. Taking Changji Supermarket as an example, he was determined to comprehensively rectify the management model of Jiajia Supermarket.
On the other hand, the success of Changji Supermarket is equivalent to sounding the alarm for Feng Xuguang. Any company will have a bottleneck when it develops to a certain extent. Now, whether the bottleneck of Jiajia Supermarket can be broken depends on Feng Xuguang's business acumen.
Xia Xiang, led by Yuan Mingliang, boarded a cruise ship. The restaurant is still the restaurant where Yuan Mingliang invited him to have dinner during the Chinese New Year. However, compared to the cold winter, the current water restaurant is indeed very popular and crowded. It also requires reservations three days in advance. Otherwise, there will be no ordinary seats near the waterside.
Yuan Mingliang asked Xia Xiang to board the boat - Compared to the last cruise, the restaurant owner obviously increased his investment. The inside of the cruise ship is not only much larger, but also has many more facilities. A medium-sized cruise ship can accommodate at least 10 people. It can open windows, close doors and windows, and even provide accompanying dance and singing. It can be said that it has everything. As long as you have money, you can have fun.
Although there were only two people, Yuan Mingliang still asked for a medium-sized cruise ship to show respect. The interior was beautifully arranged and spacious and bright. After boarding the boat, the cool breeze was blowing, and the river water outside the window was so refreshing.
After enjoying a moment of relaxation, Xia Xiang took back his mind. He knew that today's meeting might not be easy.
Yuan Mingliang was even more unconscious of the scenery outside the window. He tried his best to be calm in front of Xia Xiang. Although he had the confidence to successfully acquire Jiangshan Real Estate, for some reason, from the moment he saw Xia Xiang, his heart was inexplicably sank.
Could it be that after Xia Xiang made huge concessions and showed enough sincerity, he still refused to let Changji Trading go, and he insisted on killing them all?
Yuan Mingliang toasted Xia Xiang: "Secretary Xia, I'll toast you! I've been in Yan City for a while. I don't have many opportunities to eat with you, nor have I had a deep friendship. However, people don't have to sit together often to be considered friends. Some friends are friends of wine and meat, and some friends are friends of gods - I always thought that between you and I are friends of gods with a certain understanding of gods..."
Xia Xiang nodded and smiled, and drank the wine in the glass: "Actually, I have always admired Mr. Yuan's methods. If it weren't for the bad luck, Mr. Yuan had actually succeeded. Unfortunately, there is an old saying that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Although you and I have a divine friendship, they still have different ideas and no plans. When the divine friendship is not a free conversation, but a sword is a shadow."
Yuan Mingliang's face darkened, he was stunned for a moment, and he still smiled reluctantly: "Do not work together, but everyone has their own bottom line. Secretary Xia, give a price, everyone has something to discuss, there is no need to decide the winner, in fact, we can also win-win."
At this time, while the cruise ship was shaking, it had already arrived at the center of the river. The water of Xiama River was not turbid, and you could see fish swimming around in the water. Xia Xiang was very entertained and reached out to take some fish food - there was fish food on the boat, which was specially used by guests to feed fish - fed the fish in the water, then clapped his hands and smiled: "How much does Mr. Yuan think my bottom line is worth?"
Yuan Mingliang hesitated for a moment, and said too much, afraid that he would suffer losses, and said too little, afraid that Xia Yao would be unhappy, so he took a middle value: "150 million, making friends should be very sincere..."
150 million?!
Xia Xiang was also slightly surprised. If he accepted it, it would probably be the best place for a single bribe in China. Which corrupt official dared to accept bribes of 150 million yuan at a time? It’s not that he dared to, but the price of an ordinary corrupt official is not worth such a huge sum of 150 million yuan. I have to say that Yuan Mingliang really respects him and the bargaining chips he offered are high enough!
If it were ordinary people, they would definitely be defeated. Imagine how many people could not change their faces when facing a huge sum of 150 million yuan? Even Xia Xiang held his breath at once.
Xia Xiang did not hold his breath because he was greedy for huge sums of money, but he spent a lot of money on Yuan Mingliang.
He was silent for a moment, his face remained unchanged, and he shook his head slightly: "A gentleman loves money and gets it well. I also love money and want to have billions of wealth, but I don't want my money to be the wrong origin, and the blood and tears of the people behind it... Mr. Yuan, if you have too much money, you will bite your hands and kill people."
Yuan Mingliang's face changed, and he tried to calm down again, and even squeezed out a smile: "I have purchased Jiangshan Real Estate, Secretary Xia, now the entire Xiama District is in my control. What other means can you do to stop me? The 150 million I paid is just to make friends, to express my respect for you, and to make the Vision Group complete the construction as scheduled!"
"Your respect is too expensive, I can't bear it." Xia Xiang chuckled and waved his hand. "The time and time the Xiama River will be filled with water will not have a big impact on you. At most, delaying a little time will not have a fatal impact on your plan. Can you say that you can't wait for two months? Do you want to get out of the Xiama area in time and go to other places to hype other projects, such as coal?"
Xia Xiang raised his glass to signal to Yuan Mingliang, tentatively raising the question in his heart.
In any case, as one of his biggest opponents at this stage, Yuan Mingliang is inseparable from standing opposite him because of his different positions, he also looked up to Yuan Mingliang in other aspects. Yuan Mingliang is calm, witty, and has more advantages than Fu Pioneer. The techniques he uses are also on the surface, and it can even be said that he is more respectable than Fu Pioneer.
It just so happened that today we would take advantage of the last chance to meet with Yuan Mingliang - Xia Xiangxiang, which should be the last time we met. From now on, there will be a situation of never stopping. No matter how hard he and Yuan Mingliang have a stomachache, they will never be able to sit together and drink and have fun. Thinking of Cao Yongguo's situation in the Western Province, you might as well ask casually. Anyway, although everyone has not said it explicitly now, in fact, many things have been put on the table between the words and the words.
Yuan Mingliang didn't expect Xia Xiang to change the topic. After thinking about it, he neither admitted nor denied it: "It's hard to say whether it's hype about coal, but now is indeed the best time to leave the dismount area, and we can't drag it down any longer... However, Secretary Xia doesn't want me to leave very much. You can't swallow 13 billion yuan in funds in one bite. If you are not greedy and swallow elephant, you will be able to survive. It's better for everyone, and you will get what you need."
"There is nothing to take for each person. Mr. Yuan, you also know that the profit you want is the hard-earned money of the people, and it is a blood-sucking deprivation at the cost of destroying the economy of the entire Xiama District. And as the secretary of the Xiama District Party Committee, what I have to do is to protect the savings of the people's lives from being swept away by others and not become the profit of hot money. We are people from both camps and there is nothing to discuss."
"People?" Yuan Mingliang smiled contemptuously, "The people were originally cheap labor that contributed profits to us, but officials were stepping on the ladder for promotion! Secretary Xia was really good at joking. How many officials now care about the people? Besides, what is the use of the people for officials? Promotion does not require the votes of the people! Getting rich does not require the reputation of the people! You said, if you care about the people, what reward can you get from them?"
Yuan Mingliang didn't believe Xia Xiang's words, thinking that Xia Xiang was just a self-proclaimer and self-proclaimed aloofness. He either made a fool of himself or wanted to raise the price, thinking that the price he paid was too low.
Yuan Mingliang felt anger in his heart. If 150 million or less was considered too little, Xia Xiang would be too dark. Xia Xiang probably had already received a lot of rewards from various developers. Now he easily got 150 million yuan, and he was carefree all his life. He even said in front of him what it was for the benefit of the people. It was simply a big deal!
Xia Xiang heard the disdain in Yuan Mingliang's tone, and was also very unhappy. He admired entrepreneurs who made money down-to-earth, and even more respected entrepreneurs with conscientiousness, and philanthropists who made charity for the country and the people. But he did not admire a small group of people who did not necessarily make a fortune by any means. After he had money, he was restless and unsteady, and only wanted to rely on speculation to squeeze profits by hype and speculation. Such people, even if they had billions of wealth and had a rich life that everyone envied, were also a scum in their personality, a locust-like person, and a parasite.
Although Yuan Mingliang took advantage of legal loopholes to hype, he was still not essentially different from financial fraud. After all, he was as hypocritical as Soros, Madoff and others.
"Mr. Yuan, I just want to tell you one thing..." Xia Xiang looked straight into Yuan Mingliang's eyes and said word by word, "When a person lives, there is not only two things: promotion and wealth. People pursue differently. Some people's heights can't be seen even if you look up!"
Yuan Mingliang's face suddenly changed and he stood up: "Secretary Xia, what do you mean by saying that is that you have to be unable to get along with me?"
"I don't want to get along with anyone, I only safeguard the interests of the Xiama District! In his position, he plans his politics. This is my principle of being a human being!" Xia Xiang was also very loud.
Yuan Mingliang shouted angrily at the waiter outside: "Go back to the boat!"
Xia Xiang couldn't sit upright, but when he saw Yuan Mingliang's angry look, he still looked calm and seemed not angry at all.
The cruise ship started and slowly landed. Yuan Mingliang stood in front of the window with his hands on his back, and said nothing.
As soon as the boat landed, Xia Xiang still didn't take the initiative to stand up or speak. Yuan Mingliang's back moved obviously, and he persisted for a while, but he turned around and had an apology smile on his face: "Secretary Xia, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. You are a lot of me, forgive my recklessness."
If it was a party that ended unhappily, Yuan Mingliang would be too disappointed. Because in Xia Xiang's opinion, Yuan Mingliang believed that he was sure to win. The reason why he offered to give him hundreds of millions of yuan today was just to collect the palace in the Xiama area more safely and safely, because he was afraid that he would have a sudden change at the last moment. Just now, Yuan Mingliang's change of face and anger was just another form of temptation. With Yuan Mingliang's character and scheming, even if the negotiation was inappropriate today, he would not leave.
In a shopping mall, such as the officialdom, the surface courtesy must be maintained. Even if everyone is angry, there is no need to tear the face in person. The real contest will always be behind it.
Xia Xiang laughed: "Where, where, Mr. Yuan is polite. It is common for everyone to speak incongruity. Even when the district committee holds a meeting, there are also times when they slap the table and curse their mother."
Yuan Mingliang smiled: "I hope I can cooperate with Secretary Xia once in the future. To be honest, I am very yearning for your ability in my heart. I always feel that if I join forces with you, I will definitely be invincible."
Regarding Yuan Mingliang's flattery, Xia Xiang waved his left ear into his right ear and smiled: "So, did you invite this meal today?"
Yuan Mingliang's smile remained unchanged: "I would like to ask, I can't spend big money, and I have to spend small money to look sincere."
When they parted, Xia Xiang shook hands with Yuan Mingliang: "I hope Mr. Yuan can take root in Xiama District. Look, until next year, the banks of Xiama River will be green. Living in a villa by the river will also bring you the boundless beauty."
Yuan Mingliang said: "The world is big, and the sky is high and birds fly. If you stay in the same place, it is easy for people to develop a lazy mentality. It is better to look at the world."
Xia Xiangxiao didn't say anything else. After he and Yuan Mingliang met this time, they turned around and would pluck the knife toward each other.
Yuan Mingliang bid farewell to Xia Xiang and returned to the office. He was still puzzled. Why did Xia Xiang decide that he could intercept him in the Xiama District? No matter what means Xia Xiang used, there was only one way to go: calm down housing prices, squeeze his profit margins, and bring housing prices back to a reasonable price. He has now controlled more than 70% of the housing in the Xiama District, and now there is no land to be approved in the Xiama District. Xia Xiang rejected his huge red envelopes and even acted like he was worried about the country and the people. Is he really thinking about the people or has other intentions?
What exactly is he trying to do?
Yuan Mingliang couldn't understand Xia Xiang's starting point...
Two days later, Vision Group suddenly announced that after the field investigation by the foreign experts hired, it concluded that the leak of the original underground river was just an underground cave, not an underground river. It can be treated with sealing technical measures and will not affect the long construction period. Xiama River is expected to be fully opened to water before the end of August.
As soon as the news came out, Fu Xianfeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the move of Vision Group was quite reasonable and did not deliberately take the city government. Could it be that Xia Xiang was helpless and wanted to compromise?
After hearing the news, Yuan Mingliang frowned. If Xia Xiang still held on to the matter of water flowing across the Xiamahe River, it would seem that he had no means. Now he suddenly stopped the matter of Vision Group. Thinking of Xia Xiang's attitude of not giving in to him when he met last time, he felt that something might be a bad thing.
