Finally on the seventh day, there was still no driver who took the initiative to come to the town government to register and pay the money, but some other people couldn't sit still and came to Chen Qingdong to "chat". [No pop-ups.]

The first one to come over was Tang Xudong.

Some time ago, after Tang Xudong and Song Yu teamed up to bid for the Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine at a high price, in the initial stage, he really stayed in Chenqiao for a while, but after the work of the Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine was on the right track, Tang Xudong and they hired an experienced local as the mine manager to take care of the Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine for them, and he and Song Yu rarely came to Chenqiao.

After all, for Tang Xudong, who resigned and went to the sea, Xiaoyingkou Coal Mine was just a small business for them, and it was impossible for them to stay in Chenqiao all the time for this mine.

However, Tang Xudong, who has not appeared in Chen Qiao for a long time, suddenly came to Chen Qingdong's office today, and after a simple greeting, Tang Xudong put the gift he brought to Chen Qingdong on the table, a very beautiful Lenovo brand Tianyi S18O model laptop!

"Secretary Chen, it's been a long time, and there's nothing to give you! I've been in the electrical appliance business recently, thinking of Secretary Chen, you are a fashionista, so I brought you this computer, our domestic brand, Lenovo's new S18O, the performance is very good! Not only does it integrate today's most advanced TE1 Centrino mobile technology, but it also comes standard with an 8O211B wireless network card, which supports up to 1G memory, and I also asked someone to install a DOSXP system for you, which is the most high-end laptop on the market!" Tang Xudong said excitedly.

Chen Qingdong took advantage of the opportunity to fund Zhang Yu to open an Internet café some time ago, and he had already bought a desktop computer with the highest configuration and put it at home, and he also had a network cable, but in the unit, he did not have a computer yet.

In fact, Chen Qingdong also wants to buy a laptop for daily use, but the price of a laptop is still relatively expensive, although it doesn't cost anything to buy a computer with Chen Qingdong's net worth, but he must pay attention to the impact, even the county leaders don't have a personal laptop yet, of course he doesn't dare to be the first person!

Although in terms of work, Chen Qingdong has never been afraid to be the first person to eat crabs, but in terms of life, he still pays great attention to it, and never wears brand-name clothes and shoes, and the watch is also a domestic brand.

Therefore, he waited and found a suitable opportunity to let his eldest brother Chen Hongbing send a laptop to some leaders of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee in the name of Lvye Real Estate Company, and after the leaders had it, he would use the town finance to allocate a computer to him and Wu Zhenshan.

So now, it's not a chance to get yourself a laptop.

Moreover, the price of laptops is expensive, the latest Lenovo Tianyi S18O estimated price is estimated to be about 10,000, according to the regulations, if he accepts Tang Xudong's computer, it has already reached the standard of bribery, so Chen Qingdong will never accept this gift.

Of course, Tang Xudong is a good intention, and Chen Qingdong can't refuse people bluntly, he must refuse politely.

So, Chen Qingdong turned on the computer and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good computer! Mr. Tang, you are now a network expert? I heard you say that these professional terms are also very numerous, what TE1 Centrino mobile technology, and 8O211B wireless network card, I still don't understand what it means!"

Tang Xudong smiled a little proudly: "I actually learn and sell now, I only know the names of these things, and I don't know exactly what they are! However, we don't need to be so clear, as long as we know that this is a new technology of computers! Secretary Chen, I guess you must be able to surf the Internet at ordinary times, right?"

"I do usually go online, but now it's the Internet era, if you don't know how to go online, it's really outdated!"

"Hehe, I know that Secretary Chen, you are a fashionable person! In the future, with this notebook, it will be convenient for you to surf the Internet!"

Chen Qingdong sighed and said: "Mr. Tang, I really thank you for your kindness! It's just a pity that we are too backward here, and the network cable has not been pulled over, and I can only find a chance to go online after returning to the city, but in Chenqiao, I can only do it!"

"That's the same, it's not enough to have a computer without a network cable!" Tang Xudong also said, "However, Secretary Chen, don't worry, some towns near Longwan have already installed network cables, I believe that with the advancement of technology, we will also pull the network cable here sooner or later!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you are now in the electrical appliance business, especially selling computers, and you are definitely catching up with a good time! In the next few years, with the progress of network technology, computers will definitely become more and more popular, and this is definitely a money-making business!"

Tang Xudong nodded and said: "What Secretary Chen said is true! However, computers are still too expensive, and ordinary people still can't afford to consume them! So at this stage, I still mainly deal with government agencies and some enterprises. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Xudong looked at Chen Qingdong with great meaning, and then said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, don't lie in front of real people, I will give you this computer today, of course, our feelings are deep, since I am doing this business, of course, I want to get the best product for your old friend to play." Secretary Chen, you are now a big celebrity in the county, although I have been staying in Longwan for a period of time and have not come back much, but I often hear your name! Brother, I really admire you very much, and I am happy for you! Secretary Chen, you are not only deeply favored by Secretary Xu and the county magistrate Ying, but also have a wide network and many friends, especially with Director Ouyang of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau, Director Gao Kun who will be appointed as Director of the Land and Resources Bureau, and other leaders have a good relationship, so Secretary Chen, if you think that there is no problem with the quality of my computer, I also hope that Secretary Chen can help me publicize more! If any unit wants to configure computers in the future, it can also think of me!"

After listening to Tang Xudong's words, Chen Qingdong really had some impressive feelings about Tang Xudong!

Of course, he is not lamenting that Tang Xudong can do business, but lamenting that Tang Xudong's role has changed quickly and thoroughly, which is really admirable!

After all, before Tang Xudong went to the sea to do business, he had always served as a leading cadre in government agencies, state-owned enterprises and other units, and he was also very trusted by Cheng Xuehong, the previous county magistrate of Liulin County, and was once one of the big celebrities in the county!

Under normal circumstances, people who have been in government agencies for a long time, especially those who are accustomed to being leaders, will always have a special "official spirit"; even if they step down, many people still can't let go, and they still hold a shelf, but no one buys it, and in the end it can only increase the sadness.

However, Tang Xudong has been doing business for less than a year, but he almost doesn't have much official spirit anymore.

Just like Tan Xudong gave him a laptop this time, and then bluntly told him that he hoped that he could use his connections to pave the way for him, which is not something that ordinary officials who go to the sea to do business can do!

However, Chen Qingdong did not despise Tang Xudong at all, but respected Tang Xudong more and more because of this!

People who can find their own position and have self-knowledge are really smart people worthy of respect!

Thinking of this, Chen Qingdong also wanted to try how low Tang Xudong's posture could be, so he joked: "Mr. Tang, you are too polite, and you think too highly of me! You are also a leader who has worked in Liulin for many years, and your contacts are not much wider than mine? If you go and tell them in person, is it not much better than me to say it?"

Tang Xudong said with a frank smile: "Secretary Chen, if you say that, you are laughing at me! Although I have worked in the government agency for many years before, the society is very realistic! As soon as people leave, the tea will be cold! Most of the friends I knew before were general friends, and when I was in the seat, they might still give me a little face, but now that I have retired, they can't count on it! To put it mildly, even if I go to them three times, it is not as effective as Chen Qingdong to call them!"

Then, Tang Xudong seemed to think that Chen Qingdong didn't want to help, so he snorted again and said: "Of course, Secretary Chen, I won't embarrass you! I remember saying when I chatted with you before, I, Tang Xudong, will never do anything to embarrass my friends! So, Secretary Chen, if you come across a suitable opportunity, just help me mention it by the way, if there is no suitable opportunity, then forget it, it's okay!"

Seeing that Tang Xudong had already finished talking about it, Chen Qingdong was embarrassed to joke anymore, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Tang, since you think so highly of me, then I will try my best to help you publicize it!"

Tang Xudong laughed and said, "Of course!"

Then, Tang Xudong lowered his voice and said: "Secretary Chen, I just said, I will definitely not embarrass you first, but if you help my publicity to have an effect and negotiate a list, I definitely understand the rules, and I will never be ambiguous about the rebates I will give you! Of course, Secretary Chen, you may not look down on these rebates, anyway, you understand that I, Tang Xudong, am definitely not a person who eats alone." Hehe, Secretary Chen, I think we are old friends, so we speak so directly, if there is anything wrong, I hope you don't care!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you are polite, I understand what you mean! However, there is one thing I have to explain in advance, we are old friends, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely help." But the rebate you said, and this laptop...... Mr. Tang, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't ask for it!"

Tang Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Don't Secretary Chen, just when I didn't say what I just said, you don't have to bother to help me publicize, anyway, my market is mainly in Longwan! This notebook, you still have to accept it, this is a little gift I gave you out of friendship with old friends, there is no other meaning!"

Chen Qingdong shook his head lightly and said, "Mr. Tang, you may have misunderstood what I meant. I also confessed, brother, I actually like this laptop very much, and I don't hate money, but what I value more is the future! Now this society is full of traps, of course, Mr. Tang, I don't mean you, but generally refer to this society! So if I still want to go up, I must be careful everywhere and cherish the feathers!"

Tang Xudong explained: "Secretary Chen, you know this kind of thing, who will know about it? Besides, this notebook is actually not worth a few dollars!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you have also worked in government agencies for many years, you must be able to understand my concerns, so you don't need me to explain more, right?"

Seeing that Chen Qingdong said so insistently, Tang Xudong had no choice but to sigh lightly, smiled bitterly, and said: "Secretary Chen, your requirements for yourself are really too strict! I believe that with Secretary Chen's self-discipline spirit, you will definitely be able to soar in the future!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Mr. Tang is really an award!"
