After drinking, the night was dark, Ji Chengxi accompanied Shen Huai to drink tea and relieve hangover in the county guest house to talk about things, Tan Jun couldn't say anything, and he couldn't stay in the guest house and not leave, so he could only go to Ji Chengxi's house not far from the county guest house to sleep first.

However, Tan Jun didn't feel sleepy, so she sat and talked with her sister-in-law Chai Li in the living room.

Ji Chengxi didn't walk back from the guest house until one o'clock in the morning, went into the house and took off his shoes, saw Tan Jun still sitting in the living room, and asked, "Why haven't you slept so late?"

"It's rare for me to see my sister-in-law for most of the year now, so naturally I can't stop talking when we meet. Tan Jun snorted and said.

Ji Chengxi smiled, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, pushed the door of the small bedroom, and saw his son curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly, so he retreated to the living room, took a soft cushion, sat down on the floor, and rubbed the sun hall.

Chai Li looked at her husband's tired appearance and asked, "Didn't you say that drinking tea to cure hangover, why are you still so tired?"

"Before, everyone said that Song Hongqi was a little bit of a good person in the Song family, but now it seems that everyone still underestimates the potential of the Song family," Ji Chengxi said with emotion, "Shen Huai is a really cunning fox, you said that if you talk to such a little fox for so long, can you not be difficult?"

"It's not that you are talking secretly, and you can clearly say it directly, but you are going around in three circles?" Tan Jun commented unceremoniously, "You guys are going around, don't talk about you, I feel tired when I sit next to me and listen." ”

Ji Chengxi smiled, no matter how comradely the other party has with you, politics is first and foremost to serve interests, and before you have a certain grasp, who dares to say your bottom line first? Otherwise, if you sell it, give it to yin, and make others laugh at it, it will be a tragedy.

Chai Li knew that her husband's brain was tired and excited, and it was difficult to fall asleep, so she was not in a hurry to urge him to sleep, and said: "You racked your brains for the construction of the Jinhe Line, and you also want everyone to give up their prejudices and do things together." Your mind can be understood by the people around you, but Shen Huai has a big heart, and you also said that it is dangerous to cooperate with someone who has too big a heart......"

"Some people have big hearts, but they don't have the corresponding strength, so they can only play conspiracy and harm others for their own benefit," Ji Chengxi said, "I believe that Shen Huai's vision will not be so short-sighted, and his actions during this period of time are likely to make a false shot, but as long as they find the same interests with each other, there may not be no possibility of cooperation." ”

Tan Jun stared at Ji Chengxi curiously, although now Yanjing occasionally mentions Shen Huai in conversations, but she didn't expect Cheng Xi to think about Shen Huai so deeply, she really wants to know what kind of cunning method Shen Huai is in Cheng Xi's eyes, she is interested, and she is even more reluctant to go back to the room to sleep, and interjects and asks: "I'm in Yanjing, I heard some people say that Shen Huai may not be able to get along in Huaihai, brother, how do you say that he made a false shot?"

"If you can find out what he did in England this time, and who he has met with, you will know if he has made a false shot. Ji Chengxi said with a smile.

Tan Jun pouted and said, "If you want to trick me into going to Sister Cheng Yi to help you find out the news, I'm not so easy to deceive." ”

Ji Chengxi smiled and said, "Cheng Yi may not know anything, if Cheng Yi can know the details, Shen Huai won't have to be so complicated." ”

Tan Jun thought for a while, then realized the meaning of Ji Chengxi's words, rubbed his head and shouted: "I won't talk to you anymore, it's too brain-consuming, I don't want to grow old and die first." ”

Chai Li laughed, she also knew that she couldn't get any useful news from Cheng Yi, in the end, the current relationship between Cheng Yi and Shen Huai was also forced together because of the internal requirements of the Song family, otherwise it was really close to the point of talking about marriage, Shen Huai would be able to get Cheng Wenguang's direct support, and some things would not be so passive, and he would hide his true intentions first when he needed to do everything.

Chai Li knew that her husband still had an appreciative attitude towards Shen Huai, took Tan Jun's hand, and said with a smile: "Shen Huai is smart and smart, but it's a pity that his character is not very good, otherwise you can go on a blind date with him." ”

Shut down

"Why are you involved with me again?" Tan Jun said indomitablely, "It's terrible to think about political marriage, you have such a good relationship with my brother after getting married, it's rare, I'd rather not get married in this life, than listen to the mercy of my family to engage in any blind date." ”

"What are you thinking about in your head, it's a blind date, or can you tie you up to marry someone, isn't it to make you as satisfied as possible?" Ji Chengxi said, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said, "It's so late, go to bed, let your sister-in-law take you to Qinghe for two days to have a good time, so that you don't have to say bad things about us when you go back." ”

"If I say bad things about you, I won't say bad things about my sister-in-law," Tan Jun stood up coquettishly, ran to the bathroom to wash, and went back to the guest room to sleep first.

***************

Ji Chengxi took a hot bath, changed his pajamas, and returned to the bedroom, but he was still sleepy, so he leaned on the head of the bed and thought about things; Chai Li put his arm around her husband's generous back from behind and said: "Shen Huai likes the sword too much, Tan Qiping doesn't allow him, so he doesn't want to see him; if you really want to cooperate with him, I'm really a little worried." ”

"Have you noticed that Shen Huai turned his face with Tan Qiping in Donghua last time, and the Song family had to call him back to Yanjing to teach him a lesson, in fact, the attitude of the old man of the Song family is vague, so that the attitude of He and Dai is also ambiguous?" Ji Chengxi asked his wife.

"There are some such tendencies," Chai Li said, "but Song Bingsheng, Su Weijun, and Tan Qiping are in Huaihai Province, which is a relatively stable iron triangle, Song Bingsheng is responsible for contacting the province and the Song faction in Huaihai Province, Su Weijun can contact the free forces in Huaihai Province, and Tan Qiping is a local powerful faction that is gradually strengthening and naturally inclined to the Song faction." The Song family has such a structure in Huaihai Province, and on the surface, it cannot compete with Tian Jiageng and Zhao Qiuhua, but it is still not to be underestimated. If Shen Huai can become bigger and stronger under such a structure, it will be very beneficial for the Song family to expand its fundamentals, but he is too difficult to control, not to mention falling out with Tan Qiping, now he is simply going to give up the solid foundation he has built in Donghua, I can't imagine that there will be people within the Song family who are satisfied with his behavior......"

"In the future, it's unrealistic to want to control whom, it's more important to think about who we can influence. Shen Huai seems to have carved a large piece of his solid territory in Donghua, but if he can make up for the losses of other parts of the Song family in the UK this time, and even be rich, then what do you say, what will be the Song family's attitude towards him?" asked Ji Chengxi.

"Do you plan to let Meigang and Huaineng deeply participate in the construction of the Jinhe Line and the Jihe Seaport?" asked Chai Li.

Ji Chengxi did not directly answer his wife's question, and said: "Shen Huai's most important ability, which is often easy to ignore, is not that he can bring in a lot of capital. On the contrary, a large amount of capital is willing to follow him, mainly because he can let capital take root in the local area at the fastest speed, and can reconcile the interests of foreign capital and local factions; at the same time, he is good at industrial layout and construction. What others can't do or can only do with great effort, but it can become easy in his hands - this ability is often ignored by others - he has such an ability, naturally he is not willing to lie in wait, Tan Qiping wants to control it, and it is called hell if he does not make contradictions. When I was in the State Department before, I didn't think there was anything remarkable about this ability, but after I arrived at the local level, I was entangled with so many complicated interests, and I deeply felt the preciousness of this ability. I really hope that he can't get along in Donghua, so it will be easier to cooperate with him in this way, and there is no problem even letting him preside over the construction of the Jinhe line. However, the current situation is becoming more and more obvious, and Shen Huai's actions during this period of time should have hidden other intentions. ”

"......" Chai Li looked up at her husband.

"Mei Gang and Huaineng seem to be making big strides back now, but on the other hand, why not take back their arms and clench them into tighter fists," Ji Chengxi said, "He went to the UK this time, his whereabouts are strange, and he should have met privately with some capital parties." Of course, I can't pull the focus of his plan behind the scenes to Jihe, but it may not be impossible to cooperate. ”

*******************

In the room of the guest house, Shen Huai was also not a little sleepy, so he asked Chu Qiang to find a map of the southern Hebei region and sit under the lamp to study.

He can't find more information about the passage of the east and south route of Shanxi coal, so he can only figure out some clues from the geographical form.

"Ji Chengxi really wants to get Huai and Meigang to participate in the construction of Jihe Port," Chu Qiang is one of the few people who knows Shen Huai's overall plan, and sighs regretfully, "It's a pity that Shanxi Coal goes east, which is not in the interests of Huaihai Province, otherwise we can really cooperate." ”

Although the coal reserves in the western region of Huaihai are not as rich as those of the four northwestern provinces, the total reserves are also tens of billions of tons.

It is only after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the industrial focus of the whole country is in North China and Northeast China, so that the Shanxi coal, which is geographically close to North China and Northeast China, has been fully developed, and there are also relatively complete railway lines and ports that can export coal.

The economy of the southeast coast only really rose after the reform and opening up, but in the early days, it was still dominated by light industry and emerging industries, and the scale of heavy industry was not as large as that of North China and Northeast China.

This industrial pattern formed for decades has a strong inertia, coupled with the lag of Huaihai Province's own economic development, the development of coal resources in the province is doubly backward, and there is no construction of railways, highways, and river ports around the coal area, which can neither be mined nor transported.

The state has been planning for nearly 10 years of the passage of the eastward route of Shanxi coal to the south, but the construction has not yet officially started; the large-scale development of Huai Coal is naturally completely invisible at present, and it is completely dependent on the accumulation and investment of local provinces and cities, and the growth rate is also extremely slow.

But in the final analysis, if Huaineng and Meigang take root in Huaihai in the future and fully participate in the utilization and development of Huaihai Province's resources, it will be more in line with their own interests.

Shen Huai said with a smile: "The development of Huai Coal has not yet been shadowed, I don't think about this - and in the future, cooperation should be greater than competition, don't always think about suppressing others." I'm just worried that participating in the construction of the Jihe Port and the Jinhe Line will distract us. It's not easy to raise some money now, good steel has to be used on the blade, and I'm not sure that Jihe is this blade. ”
