Chapter 791: Greed
The negotiation of the new financial investment platform is just an undercurrent hidden under this grand wedding, and the vast majority of people's relatives and friends are more interested in talking about the noisy and flashy wedding and the unfathomable family background behind the marriage parties.
Although the Zhou family and Pengyue Group have experienced a short crisis, the halo in the eyes of outsiders has been dazzling, and now it is not just about talking about the question of who is the richest man in Donghua, everyone is studying the whole Huaihai Province in the end, whether there is a rich man with thicker capital than the Zhou family in the whole Huaihai Province.
Leaving Xishan Island and driving to Beishan Pengyue to attend the dinner, Chen Baoqi thought about Shen Huai and Li Gu, Guo Chengze, and Meng Jiansheng talking and laughing today, and he always couldn't step down in his heart, but he couldn't go over and listen to what they were plotting.
Gao Yang sat in the passenger seat, watched Chen Baoqi frowning and opening his eyes from the rearview mirror, turned around, and said with a smile: "Zhou Zhibai is also the most valuable Wang Lao Wu in our city recently. ”
Chen Baoqi smiled reluctantly, he didn't want Gao Yang to see that he was preoccupied, and said: "The arrangement of the Zhou family is still very level, and Song Lao doesn't want to be too high-profile......"
"There are also people who know the situation, and they also said some strange things today, saying that this is not an obvious combination of government and business interests?" Gao Yang said again.
Chen Baoqi glanced at Gao Yang, turned his face away to look out of the car window, and said, "Who dares to chew his tongue in the city, don't be polite when you hear it......"
Listening to Chen Baoqi's implied admonition, he smiled holistically and didn't say anything more.
Seeing Gao Yang's expression, Chen Baoqi did not blame him for his enthusiasm, and said:
"Does the law prohibit the Song family from marrying their daughters to the children of the Zhou family? After talking about the temptation of marriage for many years, some people still like to drill the horns, so many children in the capital, do they want to take out their marriages one by one, take a magnifying glass to take a photo, and engage in political censorship?"
Hearing Chen Baoqi say this, Gao Yang broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and secretly felt that the idea just now was really a bad idea, if they put any sensitive news on the marriage between Zhou Zhibai and Song Tong, whether they could hit the Song family or not, but the biggest possibility was to attract many bigwigs in the capital to besiege it.
Chen Baoqi didn't say much, he guessed that Gao Yang should also be anxious when he saw today's situation.
Shen Huai is difficult to fight and many people have experienced it over the years, but in any case, even if Shen Huai's combination with local forces is beyond everyone's expectations, Shen Huai still has to be regarded as a standard airborne faction.
Chen Baoqi has been looking for opportunities in this area before, and early last year he supported some people to engage in vote-skipping actions in the Xiapu County election, which is an example. Although the last move was a failure, it does not mean that there will never be another chance in this area in the future.
The combination of Zhou Zhibai and Song Wenhui's daughter Song Tong, most people are discussing the flashy wedding, but in Chen Baoqi's eyes, this wedding is a further integration within the Meigang system, and a further integration between Shen Huai and local forces.
Those who care about how many assets the Zhou family has at this time, Chen Baoqi also happened to hear a few words today, but the equity relationship of the Meigang system is complicated, and a considerable part of the assets of the Zhou family are hidden in this intricate equity relationship, how much can outsiders peep the true face?
What outsiders know more clearly is that the Zhou family has always been Duli's own furnace and other trade business, relying on this part alone, the Zhou family has the largest private trade group in the province.
However, anyone who really knows the inside story should know that the most valuable asset of the Zhou family is still the shareholding in Zhujiang Investment - and the most concentrated embodiment of the rise of local forces and private capital in Donghua in recent years is also invested in Zhujiang.
In the past few years, Zhujiang Investment has participated in almost all the project investments led by Meigang, and the market value of the equity held by the listed company Meixi Industry has exceeded one billion, with total assets of more than four billion, and it is a capital force that is really rooted in Donghua, and through the connections of Wu Haifeng, Yang Yuquan, Xiong Wenbin and others for many years, the relationship network has also penetrated to the bottom of Donghua officialdom.
If there is no possibility of dividing Zhujiang's investment, then there is almost no possibility of separating Shen Huai from local forces, which means that Meigang will dig deeper into this land to absorb nutrients.
Thinking of this, Chen Baoqi could only sigh lightly, and he could faintly feel that the old man Song Hua, who had not left Beijing for many years, came to Donghua, not only because his granddaughter got married, but also because he should go to Donghua to take a look at the development of Meigang.
Although everyone predicts that the Zhou family has assets of 1.5 billion or 6 billion yuan at this time, which can be compared with Zhao Moshi, the CEO of Pucheng Electric Appliances, the first private group in the province, the assets owned by the Zhou family are only the tip of the iceberg of Meigang, a joint industrial group, on the surface of the sea.
Sometimes it's really a flick of a finger, even Chen Baoqi, who has been paying attention to the development and power struggle of Donghua for a long time, has an unreal sense of Meigang's rise over the years.
Just when everyone was still talking about Meigang's achievements in the development of the iron and steel industry, Zhunan Refining & Chemical, which has an annual refining capacity of one million tons of crude oil, had quietly started trial production and operation a year ago, and Xinpu Refining & Chemical had also begun to enter the facility installation stage.
When Shen Huai just described the prospect of the development of shipbuilding and marine installation bases on Xishan Island, the ambition revealed was even more astonishing; Xinpu Shipping Group took advantage of the Asia-Pacific financial turmoil and the collapse of second-hand cargo ship leasing and sales prices in Southeast Asia, and took the opportunity to join hands with the Evergreen Group to charter and purchase cargo ships at a low level, and its total deadweight tonnage has reached 600,000 tons, becoming the No. 1 shipping enterprise in Huaihai Province, but it can still only meet less than one-third of the freight demand of Meigang system.
The operation at the enterprise level needs time to slowly show the achievements, Meigang and those large central enterprises and world-class industrial and mining enterprises, there is still a great distance, but in many coastal areas are still learning, groping the concept of "Lingang industrial cluster", Chen Baoqi noticed that Shen Huai recently published several articles, has mentioned "marine economy" and other more comprehensive economic concepts.
This means that Shen Huai runs Xiapu, and he already has a more overall and clear concept in his heart, and if they want to develop Xinjin well, they have to learn from Shen Huai, this feeling of holding it in their hearts and not being able to spit it out is really uncomfortable.
How to break this game?
***********************
After the dinner, the old man and the others still returned to Meixi to stay at the Zhuyuan Resort Hotel, while Shen Huai had to stay and deal with it, and only after the other guests were dispersed did they drive to Meixi with Song Hongjun and them.
Although Zhou Zhibai and Song Tong were newcomers tonight, the guests were not dispersed, and they did not have a chance to rest and rushed to the Zhuyuan Hotel together.
Shen Huai, Zhou Zhibai, and Song Hongjun first stood on the edge of the parking lot and smoked cigarettes; Song Tong put on a tweed jacket over his dress, and regardless of his image, he walked over and took a cigarette from Zhou Zhibai's mouth and took two puffs.
"I said that you should pay attention to the shape and meaning, so that my sister-in-law can see it, and I can whip you in front of Zhibai. Shen Huai said.
"I'm tired of getting married," Song Tong glanced at the hotel with a weak heart, returned the cigarette to Zhou Zhibai, and asked Zhou Zhibai, "Are you tired?"
"Why aren't you tired...... Zhou Zhibai said with a smile.
"That's right, you have to toss like this when you get married, it's miserable, and when you want to break up in the future, you will think about it, and you don't want to toss it like this again. Song Hongjun said with a smile.
Shen Huai laughed, patted Song Hongjun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you have the ability, you will never get married for the rest of your life." When Zhibai and Song Tong drank a glass of wine on stage at night, you didn't see the tears in your mother's eyes......"
"Don't put pressure on me to say this," Song Hongjun shrugged, kept a little distance from Shen Huai, and said, "I don't like to hear these words. ”
Shen Huai laughed, looked at his watch, and said, "It's not too early, go in and say hello to the old man, and hurry to send Zhibai and Song Tong into the cave room......
Zhou Zhibai and Song Tong also had a lot of college classmates rushed over to participate in the wedding, after the dinner, they first rushed to Meixi from Beishan Pengyue, at this time they came out and asked what to go to the cave room, Shen Huai and Song Hongjun, leaving Zhou Zhibai and Song Tong to talk to their classmates, they went first to find the old man to say hello, Cheng Yi and her mother's side, and they will also go to say hello later.
Walking to the building where the old man and his aunt Song Ying and his aunt Song Jian lived, Shen Huai and Song Hongjun walked in, and the old man's elite guard sat downstairs and greeted them, saying that many of the people who visited had just left, and his father and sister-in-law and brother-in-law were upstairs.
Shen Huai and Song Hongjun walked upstairs, and when they approached the door, they heard the old man talking inside:
"If you can calm down and spend four or five years to make these achievements, not to mention the executive vice governor, even the governor and the secretary of the provincial party committee are more than enough, and you are also qualified to do it. Now you say that the executive vice governor has a chance to fight, where do you let my old face go?"
Shen Huai and Song Hongjun stopped, quietly retreated downstairs, stood at the corner of the stairs and waited for the old man upstairs to finish his lecture before going upstairs, the province was embarrassed.
Shen Huai took out a cigarette and a lighter, but he was afraid that the sound of the lighter would be too loud, so he hesitated for a while, remembering that he had a match from the hotel in his pocket, so he took out the match and lit cigarettes for himself and Song Hongjun respectively.
Looking at the cigarette butts curling with green smoke, Shen Huai was also helpless in his heart, he never thought that his father would have ambitions for the "executive vice governor" at this time, and he would raise it with the old man at this time.
In a province, a city, or even down to a district or county, the governor, mayor, district head, and county head can all be ornaments, but if the "executive deputy of the executive committee" who is in charge of the business does not have the ability to control the business and the situation, the economic work is likely to be a mess.
At present, the promotion is based on actual performance, and the resume of the top leader and "executive representative" of the core city is an important step for the provincial municipal bureau to reach the top.
No matter how you say it, his father Song Bingsheng is not qualified to compete for any kind of "executive deputy deputy," but Shen Huai did not expect that he could still make such a request? Could it be that the most difficult thing for a person is to recognize himself?
"Alas, they are all people in their fifties......" Looking at Song Hongjun speechlessly, Shen Huai sighed helplessly.
