Chapter 267: All-Out Confrontation (16)

Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but think, and continued to listen patiently to Vice Chairman Li's speech, until he happily expressed his intentions, then enthusiastically applauded, and then turned his gaze to Liu Shicheng, quietly waiting for his statement.

For the thin, withered old man in front of him, Qi Tianxiang had deep contradictions and entanglements in his heart. The thunderous fame and legendary case seemed to be difficult to connect with the old man in front of him, whose face was full of wrinkles like a knife and an axe, his eyes were cloudy and weak, and his walk was trembling. But reason reminded him that he had to force himself to be linked, and from the arrogance and coldness when he got off the plane just now, and the shrewd and scathing gaze projected from time to time, he could know what it means to be cunning, what is sophisticated and shrewd, and how skillful it is. This is definitely not a simple old man, without absolute certainty, he will not come to Hehai casually, and the mediation of Beijing and his party will not be easy without relevant promises and exchanges. The performance when he picked up the plane just now inadvertently revealed his heart, as well as his complacency, and it seemed that he was also a hundred secrets.

At the same time, Qi Tianxiang's heart also skipped the deep heartache and pity, at the age of more than eighty, it is the time to recuperate, but he still has to be so busy with a saddle horse, it is really difficult for this old man, no matter how strong the fighting spirit is, it is difficult to hide the exhaustion of his body and energy. The old man, who had been retired for a few years, flew from Hong Kong to Beijing and from Beijing to Hehai for Liu Zhanfei, dragging his old body and attending dispensable activities one after another, for the sake of the grandson who caused trouble.

In fact, Liu Zhanfei is not Liu Shicheng's own grandson, but the grandson of his elder brother Liu Chucheng. The elder brother, who was less than 20 years old, took his thirteen-year-old brother, walked through the streets and alleys, walked the trails, got up early for five watches, and slept on the eaves of other people's houses at night.

The fledgling Liu Shicheng finally left his brother and began to work his own, starting from selling small commodities in the streets and alleys, gradually accumulating strength, opening his own small clothing workshop, small factory, and constantly carrying forward, the factory is getting bigger and bigger, doing more and more, and in the early days of reform and opening up, it is already a well-known businessman in Hong Kong such as clothing, commerce, logistics, etc.

Seeing the situation of reform and opening up, Liu Shicheng seized this rare opportunity to quickly invest and build factories in Guangdong, which is adjacent to Hong Kong, becoming the first Hong Kong businessman to benefit from the policy, and in the gradual expansion and decision-making, he achieved his own business empire.

However, his elder brother chose another path, after marrying a wife and having children, he opened a husband and wife food stall, focusing on the operation of food and restaurants, having his own shop, and buying his own house, and lived a peaceful and nourishing life. The successful Liu Shicheng tried to help his brother many times, but was repeatedly rejected by his brother, and although the two families had frequent contacts, they did not have too much economic contact.

The elder brother's family inherited his father's business and continued his family's keen and skilled catering business, until Liu Zhanfei returned to Hong Kong from abroad, he changed his inherent survival mode and promised to work for his uncle's Sega Group. This is also Liu Shicheng's wish for many years, hoping to help his brother's family, in order to repay his brother's support and help, so according to what Liu Zhanfei learned abroad, he specially set up the group's exhibition department, which was handed over to Liu Zhanfei to be responsible, and hired professionals with high salaries to assist Liu Zhanfei in operation.

Liu Zhanfei was involved in the exhibition project in Hezhou City, Liu Shicheng once warned him that he was only responsible for operation and management, and did not participate in construction and investment, but because of his advanced age, most of the group's business had been handed over to his son to operate and manage, and there was no too much participation and interference, until Liu Zhanfei had an accident in Hezhou, he felt that the situation was serious. Liu Zhanfei's arrest at Hezhou Airport is unacceptable to both the reputation of the Sega Group and the face of the Liu clan. No matter from which point of view, Liu Shicheng is unwilling to recognize this result.

After so many years of painstaking management, Liu Shicheng believes that he has paid a lot of investment from personal connections to interest resources, and now it is time to actually recycle. The effect that such resources can show is also conceivable, as Liu Shicheng, who is in his old age, feels that he should stand up and use his influence and marginal effect to do this well. This is not only for all sectors of society, but also for future generations, he is also at the helm of the business empire of Sega Group, and he has the ability to shade his children and grandchildren.

After detailed preparations, Liu Shicheng and the delegation officially made the trip, held a large-scale press conference at the Hong Kong airport, and then flew to Beijing on the Sega No. 1 special plane, where they were greeted with high-standard reception. During his stay in Beijing, Liu Shicheng and his entourage were also received by the party and state leaders, and won the lifelong honor of the National Charity Federation.

This is Liu Shicheng's entourage's action on the surface, high-profile and public, occupying important pages of several major national media, in private, Liu Shicheng's eldest son, and the core members of the family visited the important relationship between the incumbent and retired in Beijing, exchanged relevant information, and got a lot of substantive commitments.

After getting the affirmative reply of the important person, Sega No. 1 took Liu Shicheng and his entourage, full of confidence to come to Hehai, this trip not only to successfully take Liu Zhanfei away, but also to bag all the projects under construction, and high-profile project handover and re-launching ceremony, this is the result that must be achieved, and the ambition must be successful.

Therefore, when getting off the plane at Hezhou Airport, in the face of the pick-up activities led by the relevant departments of the provincial government led by Qi Tianxiang, Liu Shicheng did not pay attention to it at all, not only such a pick-up specification, but even Qi Tianxiang, the governor, Liu Shicheng also thought that he was just an insignificant little person. He has seen a lot of mainland cadres in such a position as provincial governor, and sometimes some provincial governor-type officials come to meet in Hong Kong, but he is too lazy to meet them.

But Liu Shicheng never thought that his deliberate snub to Qi Tianxiang would directly make him come back lukewarmly, and canceled the reception ceremony at the airport and held it in the Beijiao Hotel instead, and inadvertently reversed the angle and became the main reception of Qi Tianxiang. This seemingly ordinary move not only showed Qi Tianxiang's ability to transform, but also made the balance of power tilt towards Qi Tianxiang's side.

Liu Shicheng deeply felt that the seemingly weak young governor in front of him was a difficult character to deal with, at least unlike those officials he had seen.
