As a business, maintaining a good relationship with the government is a top priority, especially in a bureaucratic society.

Last year's revenue was 45.125 billion RMB, net profit was 13.527 billion RMB, a year-on-year increase of 24.58%, and the market value increased to 395 billion Hong Kong dollars, breaking the 400 billion mark is just around the corner. Last year, due to investment problems, the net profit was significantly reduced to US$10.424 billion, but the annual revenue still reached US$81.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 21.25%.

Even so, after the New Year, Li Jiaming still returned to Beiping alone to pay New Year's greetings to all the leaders and brains of all walks of life, from the head of the central government to the chief officials in the district, and all those who had crossed paths before going abroad visited.

Gifts, all the local specialties, are mushrooms, white fungus and the like in the mountains, which are currently very popular organic foods. In fact, these leaders who are already in high positions don't care about whether they are worth it or not, but care about Li Jiaming, the former little brother and today's richest man and professor, who has old friends in their hearts, and they don't forget everyone's help and support back then.

The black bulletproof Cadillac imported from the United States was unimpeded when entering and exiting various compounds in the capital as in previous years, which is why Wang Tie likes to drive this car when he wants to support the scene. Part of the reason is because the owner of this car is Li Jiaming, and more importantly, there are two municipal party committee and municipal government passes that symbolize privileges pasted on the windshield, which was specially handed over to someone to help him after Secretary Huang of Haidian became the secretary general of the municipal party committee.

Li Jiaming's New Year's greetings are also principled as always, only giving New Year's greetings to leaders who have crossed paths before, and he comes to the door with gifts openly. Occasionally, I met a big man on the road who can only be seen on TV, and I just said two auspicious words without humility or arrogance, and I didn't climb down the pole to sit in someone's yard, let alone please him.

Face has always been earned by himself, and others can't give it, Li Jiaming knew this when he was very young.

However, today Li Jiaming carried two mentions of shiitake mushrooms and dried white fungus to the former secretary to pay New Year's greetings, and had to follow Aunt Zhao, who stopped him, to have a cup of tea at a friend's house of hers. There is no way, Comrade Lao Huang took care of him a lot when he was in charge of Haidian before, and after becoming the leader of the city, he helped him get through the relationship between the Beijing system, and then Aunt Zhao took his eldest sister into the upper class society in the capital. Helping his eldest sister can be said to be the icing on the cake for his development, but when he was a student, Secretary Huang and Secretary General Huang took care of him and Sohu a lot, and that favor was great.

But as soon as he entered the door, Li Jiaming met the person he didn't want to see, the vice president of the central enterprise, Huang.

It is worthy of being a noble family, and the courtyard houses on the edge of the Forbidden City are still antique after modernization, revealing low-key luxury everywhere. Sitting in front of the window and tasting tea, listening to the birdsong in the yard, and looking at the sunshine outside the window, there is a lot of idle taste, but a few people with different minds are not in a leisurely mood.

Everyone exchanged a few words, and the vice president Huang took the initiative to talk about the last time, implying that he couldn't help himself. This is funny to say, the first time I couldn't help myself, but the second time? It's just that the power is in the hands of others, and Li Jiaming wants to deal with it after a haha.

However, after Vice President Huang left, Aunt Zhao, who brought him here, told the truth. Their family, Lao Huang, is in a critical period, and further is a prince, and there may be no possibility of progress if they stay put.

Aunt Zhao, who has a request for others, does not have the elders of the past, so she is good at discussing and saying: "Jiaming, Xiao Huang's proposal is also beneficial to your company, can't you consider it?"

This matter is not so simple, the business of catching up is never a good business, besides, the person surnamed Huang can have a relationship with the Li family in Hong Kong, and he is extremely powerful, can he still be short of billions?

Maybe this is the crux of the problem, and Aunt Zhao, who has a request for help, doesn't blame Li Jiaming for being too careful, and said helplessly: "Jiaming, it's not as simple as you think." Energy is energy, finance is finance, and at this critical moment, the words of the chief may not be effective. ”

The struggle has intensified to such an extent, so it is even more impossible to wade into this troubled water, Li Jiaming pushed the matter and said: "Aunt Zhao, the shareholding structure of energy is very complicated, don't look at me as a major shareholder, but those shares are only held in my name, not my personal." ”

At the critical moment, no matter how knowledgeable and interesting people are, Aunt Zhao is unwilling: "Won't it?"

"I'm not stupid, it's a matter of mutual benefit, so don't I let go?"

This is a very convincing statement, even though Li Jiaming wears the hat of an economist and becomes the dean of a prestigious business school, he is actually a businessman. This kind of cooperation is mutually beneficial, and it is impossible to refuse it for commercial interests.

However, this matter is too important, Aunt Zhao let go of her usual reserve, and asked: "Jiaming, why don't you go and do the work?" This matter is really important, as long as it is done, Lao Huang will not treat you badly."

Favors belong to favors, and interests belong to interests, and these two things really cannot be confused. The various relationships in the capital are intertwined, and if you are not careful, you will offend people, so you can only talk about things and don't look at people. In terms of human feelings, Lao Huang has helped him a lot, but he has also helped Lao Huang a lot.

Besides, if it weren't for the rise of the Sohu department and the Hanhua department, and he got close to his gang and earned those glittering political achievements, would he be able to cross from the main hall to the main department in more than ten years?

"Aunt Zhao, I will do the work, but I dare not guarantee whether it will succeed or not. ”

The graceful Aunt Zhao was disappointed, and forcibly suppressed the resentment in her heart, will the richest man in the world not be able to do a two-way thing? Or is my cousin right, this person seems to be loyal but treacherous, and he is extremely vindictive. The second young man of the Li family put him together, he can twist other people's fingers regardless of his face, Xiao Huang targeted him twice, can he see the situation?

The two parted unhappily, if it weren't for the fact that Li Jiaming was the richest man in the world or a world celebrity, perhaps the resentful Aunt Zhao would not even maintain basic etiquette.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are close are not inferior, and those who are far away are resentful.

After worshipping the New Year, Li Jiaming strictly ordered Wang Tie not to cooperate with the other party. With his refusal, Sohu Energy's pipeline gas project in the southwest and a hydropower project that had just been negotiated were also immediately blocked, and it is needless to guess that it was Lao Huang who expressed his dissatisfaction.

When the news came, Lao Zhang, who had already made up his mind about this matter, couldn't sit still, and took advantage of Li Jiaming's failure to return to the United States, and pulled Sun Weigang to ask him what was going on. This is not the same as last time, not only will it offend a group of people, but also offend Governor Huang, who had a good relationship before.

"Second brother, it's not that we don't trust you, it's that we can't figure it out. ”

What is there that I can't understand about this? The reform has been changed to this day, and everything that is easy to change has been changed, and there are only some hard bones left. To gnaw those hard bones, interest groups must be touched, and it will also mean that the struggle will be fiercer than ever.

"Are you betting?"

"History is spiraling".

Rao is Liu Shasha and the two children are also at home, Lao Zhang can also understand the meaning of this, and is still very dissatisfied: "Jiaming, there are no outsiders here!"

In other words, Li Jiaming reminded: "Lao Zhang, with our strength today, as long as we move, it is a mistake!"

"Wrong?"
