California in February is warm during the day and a little cold at night.

When Li Jiaming and Liu Benqiu returned to the house with the white mist, a group of leaders were sitting in front of the fireplace drinking tea, and the one who made tea was Deputy Secretary Zeng, who had the highest status. In recent years, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, and the tea ceremony, as an elegant art, has become popular among the upper classes. In fact, this is a good thing, the society has become more civilized, although the vast majority of people are vassals and elegant, but it is better than taking red wine for Sprite.

It's just a cup of tea, Vice Mayor Ding and Minister Zhong, who have been in the same team with him, are nothing, and as subordinates, You Xuequan and You Xiaohong are a little restrained. Seeing Liu Benqiu and them coming in, You Xiaohong, who was uncomfortable, hurriedly put down the teacup and got up to give way.

"Teacher Liu, sit down. ”

That's right, petty officials like to put on a show, obviously a deputy likes others to treat each other as a regular position, but when an official reaches a certain level, he no longer likes others to be commensurate with his official position. In this kind of private occasion, he said that teachers and students, uncles and nephews respected each other, and his cousin had grown into a qualified bureaucrat.

Deputy Secretary Zeng, who was scalding the cup, looked up, emptied the teapot in his hand, picked up the towel next to him to wipe his hands, got up and said, "Jiaming, you come." ”

I have a good picture, I have fame and fortune in my heart, but I can't let go of my mistakes all the time. Li Jiaming secretly laughed, but also took over the work of making tea as he said, and re-brewed tea calmly, his movements were gentle and elegant, just like an ancient scribe. When the tea ceremony began, Li Jiaming found that Nakamura was coming and was sitting there in danger. In fact, this is also a master of the tea ceremony, and every board and glance is very ceremonial, and he should have studied it in Japan.

After everyone finished drinking tea, Deputy Secretary Zeng exclaimed: "Jiaming, how did you learn? Without a trace of fireworks, you are much better than the tea masters in those teahouses." ”

If you don't have the tranquility of 'watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court,' how can you make a good pot of tea?

"Laughing".

"Teaching, but also let us see for a long time. ”

When making tea, Li Jiaming was in a calm mood and began to pack up the tea set, so he naturally became a shrewd businessman again.

"Actually, it's nothing, when I was a child, I watched TV, and I thought that the Japanese tea-making action was very elegant, so I deliberately followed it. Later, I found that making tea can make people calm, so I liked it. There is no way, when you can't figure out a lot of things, you can only wait for your state of mind to be clear, and then weigh the pros and cons. ”

A few people who held on to the possibility sighed secretly, and everyone knew the objective situation in Yuan Zhou. Unless there is a large amount of capital and advanced technology, it is impossible to develop industry out of thin air on such a weak foundation, even if the city has a bit of a mechanical foundation. Li Jiaming's meaning is very clear, this is a refusal, but he is very elegant and does not say it clearly.

"Mingya, it's really impossible?"

How many years has my cousin not called herself by a nickname?

Alas, under fame and fortune, the former cousin of the village aunt is not the former cousin, and the helpless Li Jiaming smiled bitterly: "I am not an immortal, nor a saint, followed by thousands of employees, there will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands in the future, it is impossible to damage the interests of the company for my own selfishness." ”

"Ming Yan"

"Little Red!"

What Li Jiaming didn't expect was that it was not his cousin who interrupted his cousin, but Liu Benqiu, who was the most estranged from him.

"Jiaming is right, the foundation is not strong, and the earth shakes. ”

"Koyanagi!"

Deputy Secretary Zeng, whose face was dark, glared at Liu Benqiu unhappily, and brought You Xiaohong to persuade Li Jiaming to return to his hometown to invest. How can a newly appointed executive vice mayor ignore local interests?

Politicians, as expected, are the most undisciplined animals. 'Ahem, cough, cough', the unhappy Li Jiaming coughed twice, reminding everyone that this was in his own home.

"Uncle Zeng, my friend gave me a copy of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there is nothing to do at night, why don't you watch a movie?"

This movie has not yet been released in China, but it has long been hyped by the media, especially after winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, which has aroused everyone's interest. But at this time, Li Jiaming arranged for everyone to watch a movie, who would have the heart to watch it?

"Jiaming?"

Li Jiaming could understand this kind of mood of suffering from gains and losses, but he was secretly annoyed that they were too uninteresting, and immediately interrupted: "Uncle Ding, let's watch a movie, I still have something to do." Nakamura-kun, what's the matter?"

The first sentence is in Chinese, and the second sentence is in English, and everyone noticed that there was an outsider present, and it looked like a Chinese.

The people who worked as assistants were all clear-eyed, and Nakamura saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Ms. Se asked me to deliver tickets for the Oscars, and there are other things I want to ask you." ”

"Okay, let's go to the study and talk. Fourth brother, help me entertain a few uncles to watch a movie. ”

Using official business as an excuse, even if several officials wanted to continue to persuade them, it was not easy to force them to stay, so they had to watch Li Jiaming leave. Once upon a time, they used similar excuses to reject those troubles, and now they are being rejected by others with the same excuses.

Several people followed Li Jiade through the palace-like living room to the movie screening room on the first floor, and sat on the two rows of leather sofas in a daze. Waiting for You Xiaohong to help Qiao Qiao set up the drinks and snacks, turn on the air conditioner, Li Jiade put the copy into the movie projector again, and the picture began to appear on the screen, and the three of them sued themselves and left the screening room.

"Vice Mayor Liu, what's going on?"

Calling the official title in private, and the questioning tone made Liu Benqiu of the same level unhappy for a while, but the difference in power made him turn off the sound of the stereo and explained: "Secretary Zeng, it's useless." I know Li Jiaming, and it is impossible for him to listen to people's advice when he decides. Not to mention You Xiaohong, it's useless for his father.

Seven years ago, because of the factory, he had a falling out with his father, and moved his uncle out of the factory, preparing to forcibly withdraw from the factory. Six years ago, because of the factory, he forced Li Chuanmeng and them to give up the company's decision-making power. Five years ago, also because of the factory, he forced Li Chuanlin to break up with him. ”

Oh, by the way, Lao Liu and Li Chuanmin are old friends, and they have a very good relationship.

The three people who had never heard of these ugly families were stunned, but they knew that the right to study in charge of the Li family's division came back to their senses, and how much does the city's good have to do with their own secretary general? On the contrary, Jiaming's nephew treats him well, and that is the real fast lane to promotion.

Thinking of this, he didn't have the right to help his nephew just now, so he hurriedly explained in a whisper: "Secretary, Mayor Liu is right, Jiaming's child is a bull." If he recognizes something, it's useless for anyone to say. ”

What should I do? The three of them remembered the entrustment of the secretary and the mayor, and their hearts tensed for a while. Don't look at everyone as colleagues, but the things explained by the two main leaders have not been done, and the authority in their hands will be gone if they don't. There are countless ways to elevate the power of the deputy!

"Secretary, we still only rely on bamboo and wood processing and agricultural and sideline products!

I just talked to him, and he took the initiative to bring up the topic, but didn't explicitly agree to anything. I thought so, and after I went back, I took the initiative to ask Mayor Qian to ask for help, asking to be in charge of the new area and forestry. Isn't Li Chuanlin unwilling to move out of Tonggu, so I forced him to come to the new district to build a branch factory!"

The three people who were still in deep love with Li Jiaming's uncle and nephew just now narrowed their eyes, but they didn't say anything, but they reminded the right to study with a clear idea: "Mayor Liu, Jiaming eats soft and doesn't eat hard!"

"I know that Li Chuanlin is reluctant to move to the new area, mainly because he is afraid that the gang below will mess around, and there is also the problem of electricity bills. If the city is the master, sell the Xiujiang Hydropower Station to them, and then control the gang of people in the new area, will they still be able to do so? If they go to the new area to build a factory, they can save a lot of freight and electricity bills.

Speaking of which, Liu Benqiu had an idea, Li Jiaming sent him a big favor, and he wanted to return the favor, so he hurriedly said: "Secretary, Li Chuanlin has a brand and sales channels in his hands, and the furniture, flooring, and templates can be sold well and at an affordable price." Since this is the case, why don't we encourage him to associate with other counties? As long as the bamboo and wood products of other counties are also sold to the outside world using their brands and channels, the GDP will increase by at least 20 percent!"

This is a way, at the beginning, Li Chuanlin has always insisted on quality standards to make a brand, and many people still laughed at him for being too big, too stupid, and not knowing how to make quick money. But in just a few years, Huaju company, which has quality assurance, finally stood out among many opponents, large builders, users who pursue quality of life only recognize his brand, and furniture, templates, and floors in other counties can only be sold at low prices.

"Will he say yes?"

After speaking, Deputy Secretary Zeng smiled dumbly, the joint venture is a saying, in fact, it is to encourage Huaju Company to engage in forced mergers. Resources are in the hands of the government, as long as Liu Benqiu, who does things recklessly, is allowed to fight in the ring, can Li Chuanlin not be convinced? Use their profit margins to buy raw materials, as long as the city supports them, how can those small factories compete with him? As for the reaction of the counties, if they do not change their thinking, they will change people, and it is difficult to find people who are engaged in the economy, and there are people who can become officials everywhere!

The whole city is a game of chess, how can the people below be selfish?

"There are also agricultural and sideline products, and the things of the 'people in the mountains' are so expensive to sell, they are still in short supply, and the quality is not guaranteed, and the brand is valuable? Give them all the resources of the seven forestry counties, saving the waste of resources! As long as these two tasks are done well, our city will concentrate its efforts on improving transportation, and we will still be able to increase our GDP." ”

Isn't Li Jiaming unwilling to support his hometown? As his own family's industry expands outward, he has to pay money to support it, right? Deputy Secretary Zeng pondered for a while, nodded slightly, motioned to You Xuequan to amplify his voice, and said with a smile: "Watching a movie, this film is in China, and it won't be released until October." ”
