When Qi Tianxiang stepped out of the car, he suddenly felt a surge of irritability in his heart, which seemed to be the reason for the hot weather, and it didn't seem to be exactly, and he wasn't very sure. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Watching Xiao Zhang get in the car and leave, Qi Tianxiang slowly turned around, slowly pushed open the glass door in front of him, and slowly walked into Room No. 1 under the diligent guidance of the service staff.

"Your brother's shelf is big enough, and when he arrives at your territory, he doesn't even care about the etiquette of greeting him in person, it seems that the eaves are really three points shorter!" As soon as Qi Tianxiang walked into the room, he said dissatisfiedly to Lei Xiangdong, who was sitting on the sofa and leisurely making tea: "The Fan of the God of Wealth is getting more and more sufficient, let me take a closer look at it, is it lucky again." ”

"you." Lei Xiangdong smiled and gently slapped Qi Tianxiang's outstretched hand, which was regarded as a greeting, motioned for Qi Tianxiang to sit down quickly, and said aggrievedly: "I know that you said that your mouth was dry in the afternoon, don't you hurry up to make you tea?" has become a tea boy, and you are not satisfied, it is really unpredictable official authority, this has just shaken the shelf, do you still have to sound the gong to open the way! ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang's expression of wanting to refute, Lei Xiangdong hurriedly picked up a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table in front of him, and continued humorously: "Besides, I know what time you will come, so let me greet you?" If you go there, it doesn't matter if you take a broom to be a cleaner in the hall, in my acre and three points of land, such a big president, standing in the hall as a doorman, I just dare to be, my employees must not be scared to death, how to be the secretary of the municipal party committee I don't understand it, aren't you very empathetic, quite able to care about your subordinates? Otherwise, how could there be eighteen miles of send-offs, tears and other touching scenes? ”

"What just happened this morning, how do you know, we must have your undercover agent there. Honestly, lurking beforehand? Or did you rebel halfway? Qi Tianxiang was speechless when Lei Xiangdong grabbed a gun with a stick, and finally got a chance to breathe, so he quickly began to fight back, "You said that you are a bank president, you are not good at your deposit and loan business, what do you care about officialdom trends?" It's addictive! Could it be that he intends to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes and call for wind and rain in the officialdom again? ”

"Forget it, the development of potential depositors and target customers, will also be in the Department of Finance, the Urban Construction Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Development and Reform Commission, the most unfortunate is also the real power of the health, education, environmental protection, taxation and other real power departments, run your provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to develop the downline, isn't it a zoo to tease the tiger, looking for death?" Lei Xiangdong stared at Qi Tianxiang with a tiger face, and seemed to be very disdainful and dissatisfied with his statement, and then said with a smile: "I don't want to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes in this life, although the old man has the heart to bend the bow and shoot the eagle, it is difficult to have the ambition of a young man to help the world and the people." Isn't it very good now, the job treatment in the system, the salary and income outside the system, free and easy, not like the eight immortals of the South China Sea? ”

"Okay, it's really good, the impassioned, directive, and cynical Jingwei and Kuafu's father have finally cultivated into an otherworldly, lonely and quiet outsider, it's really time to make people old, beauty is indispensable, and money is a steel knife that eats bones and sharpens aspirations!" Qi Tianxiang picked up the cigarette box on the coffee table, took out a cigarette and lit it, shook his head slowly in the smoke and said: "I regret that I shouldn't have lived in a humble room with a green lamp, and I have a great ambition in the cold window for ten years. ”

"What a mess, so much emotion, I think you should go back to the academy to teach, such a misleading teaching can only be said to those enthusiastic students." Lei Xiangdong looked at Qi Tianxiang with appreciation, and admired his talent and astute adaptability very much, but he was still not to be outdone: "But it's not easy to say, today's young people are more pragmatic, politics, history, and people are difficult to find high talents, but finance, accounting, and economic management majors are very popular. ”

Qi Tianxiang didn't pick up Lei Xiangdong's words anymore, knowing what he would say, except for complaining, it was advice, and there was no way to deal with it. Therefore, he withdrew his gaze and looked around the large room, a space the size of a conference room, divided into several areas according to different functions and needs. In addition to a large dining table and the indispensable sofa seating area, TV, computer, audio equipment are all available, and there is also an area with billiards cases and an automatic mahjong table, which seems to have everything considered.

After looking around, Qi Tianxiang withdrew his gaze, sighed lightly exaggeratedly, shook his head slightly, and showed a very regretful expression.

"What do you mean? Give us your opinions! What is not satisfied, although it is said, only the unthinkable, there is nothing that cannot be done. Lei Xiangdong stared at Qi Tianxiang's expression with concern, as if he felt that he saw something wrong, and couldn't help but look around the room, the lighting in the luxuriously decorated room was soft, the utensils and the tone of the room were coordinated, it looked comfortable and elegant, there was nothing inappropriate, and he turned to look at Qi Tianxiang, puzzled and wanted to get an answer.

Knowing his abnormal reaction, aroused Lei Xiangdong's curiosity, Qi Tianxiang smiled and was silent, until he had satisfied Lei Xiangdong's appetite, and then slowly regretted and said: "The fly in the ointment, I only think about eating and killing time, I don't think about relaxation and comfort, it should be washing, soaking, kneading, and then eating, drinking, and playing, and if the procedure is not right, I am at a loss, and there is no beauty to accompany me, and there is no red sleeves to add fragrance, or some less fun!" ”

"If you don't come to this set of guns and sticks, it is estimated that there will be some extravagance, extravagance and other comments!" Lei Xiangdong finally understood that he was being teased by Qi Tianxiang, looking at his triumphant expression, he couldn't help but stare at him and pretend to be dissatisfied and said: "I am a training center, except for the red-sleeved fragrance and beauty you said, what is nothing?" It's fashionable now, those who run loans, those who apply for quotas, which one is not allowed to contact the relationship, and that day is not allowed to socialize, in order to get things done, which one must not slap a swollen face and become fat. As long as we do not violate our loan regulations, it is normal to usher in the delivery and change the cup, we are open to do business, and the market economy is allowed. If you don't have such a place, he will go somewhere else. I call it that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders and follows the trend. ”

"What you said about washing, soaking, shabu-shabu, open that door, and there will be everything inside." Lei Xiangdong watched Qi Tianxiang mumble to a door not far away, and then changed his tone, and said sincerely: "In fact, these companies still don't understand, do a good job of their own business, make the enterprise bigger and better, than any delicacies of the mountains and seas, big fish and meat, we are a typical dislike of the poor and love the rich, because we are engaged in business, but also to make money, seek benefits." If you do your part, these are completely unnecessary, but our account managers and credit managers will come to your door to deliver loans, send credit, beg you for loans, and even invite you to dinner. It's like going into a restaurant to eat, spending money, and when have you ever seen a diner give money to the boss. Furthermore, we are now implementing the loan level approval system, and it is the first batch of accountability system, it is useless to invite you to eat, the information or procedures are not good, even if you invite me to eat, there is always a pass that cannot be passed, even if you pass the customs in confusion, when there is a problem with the loan, the first thing to pursue is my responsibility, what do I take that risk for, eat your meal, joke about your own bonuses and positions? ”

As he spoke, Lei Xiangdong said with emotion: "This is the advantage of system design, and it is also the advantage of moving the management gate forward. If our government organs can also adopt such a method, even if part of the implementation of the system of power restraint and accountability, those decisions that pat the head, the whim of the political performance project, the decision that violates the scientific law and the will of the people, and even the forced demolition and forced eviction of the people for profit and power and money transactions, as well as the resulting public grievances and contradictions, will there be less, not to say that it is scientific governance and standardized governance, or to calm down and think about it, compared with money, interests, reputation or political achievements, which is more important, there is no sycamore tree, where did the golden phoenix come from, these are the truths that even fools know! ”

"Here we go again." Qi Tianxiang couldn't help glaring at Lei Xiangdong resentfully, although he appreciated his keen and open-minded thinking, as well as calm thinking, he didn't want to listen to his meanness all the time, so he immediately changed the topic and asked suspiciously: "In such a big room, just the two of us have dinner?" I know that you are rich and not bad for money, but two people occupy such a large room, it is still a bit too extravagant! Besides, it's a bit of a waste of resources, isn't your brother known as the most budget-conscious businessman, and this account won't be counted? ”

"Congratulations to your brother for his ascension, what kind of account is it, you have served your old man well, and it is not the money that is rolling in, isn't this the best account?" Lei Xiangdong hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Besides, today, the president of my bank has a dinner party, whether it is the director of the office or the manager of the training center, who dares to let others use room No. 1, and do you want to make progress?" ”

Listening to Lei Xiangdong's words, especially his hesitant expression, Qi Tianxiang chuckled in his heart, it seemed that the feeling he felt when he got out of the car just now had a basis, and he secretly calculated in his heart, it seems that this meal is not simple!

As soon as he entered the elevator in the morning, Qi Tianxiang turned off his mobile phone, there are too many things today, and there is no time to read the mobile phone when it is on, and today's phone or text message, you should know what it is without looking at it. Yesterday's decision of the Standing Committee should have been responded to today, and even if I heard the news yesterday, I will congratulate it today, because after all, it is not a good thing to hear it early, and the mystery in this is very subtle, and there are also very realistic considerations.

At noon, Qi Tianxiang turned on his mobile phone, as expected, there were dozens of calls and text messages, most of them were text messages, most of them were classmates and friends from other places, and there were also colleagues who had worked with him before. "I guess I also want to talk about this on the phone, and after thinking about it, compared to the invitations of Wang Jinlong, Yao Wanxue, Wang Shi'an and others, Lei Xiangdong's dinner is still more relaxed, I have been too nervous in the past two days, I really want to find someone to have a few drinks, chat and relax, Lei Xiangdong is a good object in all aspects.

"Okay, you can decide the location, the time is estimated to be later, after six o'clock!" Qi Tianxiang sent a text message, knowing that he might receive a reply soon.

Sure enough, after a while, the text message replied: "Room 1 of the training center, wait!" ”

After reading the text message, Qi Tianxiang smiled heartily, for Lei Xiangdong's understanding and thoughtfulness, the location was in the training center of their bank, and the time was completely free to control, and there was no interference, which could avoid some unnecessary troubles. In addition, it also gave him enough time freedom, and the meaning of waiting is very clear, that is, as long as he goes, the time is not a problem sooner or later.

After reading the text message, Qi Tianxiang turned off his mobile phone again, there was no reply to the text message and phone call, no time is one aspect, and some are really not easy to reply, only wait for the evening to get home, calm down and then reply selectively.

The afternoon was tense, there was no time to calm down, and even when I took the car to the training center, I didn't think about what to eat or who to eat with. Qi Tianxiang vaguely felt that he seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't dare to be too sure, but he secretly cheered up in his heart.

"What do you think? So deep. Lei Xiangdong saw that Qi Tianxiang was groaning and didn't speak, knowing what he thought, he simply picked it open and said: "Are you wondering who else can have dinner with you, and are you still thinking, whose spectrum is so big, the host and guest have arrived, and the accompanying guest has not yet arrived?" ”

"Are you the roundworm in my stomach? Can you guess anything? Qi Tianxiang bumped into Lei Xiangdong angrily, and smiled and distinguished: "I can't think of anything else." But think about it, too! , I've been in here for a long time, so I'm going to drink tea, isn't this tea on an empty stomach the more I drink, the more hungry I get! What is your brother's agenda? ”

"This is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, I have a good tea for tens of thousands of yuan and a catty, and I am usually reluctant to drink it, take it out today to honor you, don't say words of gratitude, at least I have to say something good!" Lei Xiangdong glared at Qi Tianxiang unrelentingly, and then said slowly: "If you are still a civil and military all-rounder, full of economy, you don't know that you have to go through the scenes to watch the play, and you have to start with the overture to listen to the symphony!" ”

Lei Xiangdong's snatching made Qi Tianxiang laugh, temporarily hiding the doubts and uneasiness in his heart. After laughing, he pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "What tens of thousands of dollars of tea, but just a handful of leaves, speaking of the horizon is nothing more than a few more years, the so-called vinegar is old, wine is fragrant, tea leaves are put moldy bean soup for a long time, no matter how good the old tea is not as good as a handful of fresh leaves, it is all the concept of hype to mislead you people, people earn is the money of you 'stupid people with a lot of money'!" ”

"Let your mouth say this, my treasured tea that has been stored for decades is useless, it's really a good scripture and I'm afraid of crooked mouth monks." Lei Xiangdong was amused by Qi Tianxiang's words, and knew that he was deliberately making him angry, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't reason with you, it's like playing the piano to a cow." ”

"What kind of good tea is so expensive, let me taste it too." The moment the door of the room was pushed open, a hearty laugh came, and he took over the conversation, and then said in a loud voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept you two waiting." ”

"A good meal is not afraid of being late, distinguished guests must wait, and waiting is also a kind of happiness." Seeing Chen Nengliang enter the door, the question in Qi Tianxiang's heart was answered, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed. Hurriedly stood up, greeted him with a smile, and continued: "Waiting for Governor Chen is a happy expectation in itself. ”

"I love to listen to Comrade Tianxiang's words." Chen Nengliang shook Qi Tianxiang's hand with a smile, and said to Lei Xiangdong: "Whether it is a compliment or an insinuation complaint, it is a real psychological reflection. ”

"I can't afford Governor Chen's words, where do I dare to complain, I don't dare to slander." Qi Tianxiang smiled and said, "Let's put it in the compliment!" That's easy to accept. ”

Qi Tianxiang's words made Chen Nengliang a little embarrassed, knowing that Qi Tianxiang was a little surprised and dissatisfied, but then he returned to his natural demeanor, and said with a smile: "Today is your good day, I want to express it, I am afraid that you will not give face, so I have to borrow Lao Lei's territory to express it." As he spoke, he pointed to the person standing next to him and said to Qi Tianxiang: "Let me introduce you, these two are Jiang Feiming, deputy mayor of Hezhou Municipal Government, and Liu Mingming, the other is Liu Mingming, who is your subordinate, sit together and get to know each other." ”

Qi Tianxiang shook hands with Jiang Feiming and Liu Mingming one by one, deliberately looked at the two of them for a moment, nodded and said hello, did not speak, but looked at Chen Nengliang, and said with a smile: "The governor invited me to dinner, how can I not give face, but give me face too much, this afternoon the secretary of the provincial party committee sent me to office, and the governor invited me to a banquet in the evening. ”

"You don't have to be too modest, there are always reasons to get this, you just don't want to admit it." Seeing that Chen Nengliang's expression was not natural, Lei Xiangdong snatched Qi Tianxiang's words and replied, and then said to Chen Nengliang with a smile: "We can't just stand and chat for one night, right?" Do you want to continue with my good tea, or do you just serve it to the table and we talk while we eat? ”

"Let's talk while eating, it's still good wine to warm my heart, and it's fast to connect with feelings." Chen Nengliang said succinctly, then turned to Qi Tianxiang and asked for his opinion, "Look, today you are the protagonist, listen to you." ”

"Let's listen to the governor!" Qi Tianxiang tactfully kicked the ball back again, stretched out his hand to signal Chen Nengliang to invite him to the table, and said with a smile: "But the governor is the first to look forward." ”

Chen Nengliang smiled and stretched out his finger to point at Qi Tianxiang, which seemed to be a compliment, and had the meaning of reproaching him for slipping his head, and then skillfully shifted his focus, and said with a smile: "Since Comrade Tianxiang has no opinion, then according to my idea, let's talk while eating, no matter the position here, I can also have the final say in terms of age." ”

As he spoke, the anti-guest took Qi Tianxiang's hand and walked to the dining table, directly pulled him down to the guest of honor position and sat down, seeing Qi Tianxiang breaking free, he smiled and said: "Today you are the protagonist, I Li Dai Taozhuang will be the main escort, and let Lao Lei deign to be the deputy escort." As he spoke, he sat down generously beside Qi Tianxiang, pointed at Lei Xiangdong and said, "You sit opposite, and the rest of you can sit casually." ”

Qi Tianxiang shook his head helplessly, smiled and sat down with peace of mind. At this moment, I knew that all Chen Nengliang's politeness had been completed, revealing his true face of arbitrariness and self-confidence, and I also knew that the real intention was about to be displayed.

Chen Nengliang has been in Hohai Province for several years, the last time Zhao Haonan was transferred back to Beijing, Lin Dongsheng successfully ascended, Chen Nengliang from the position of vice president of the People's Bank of China, directly parachuted into Hohai Province as acting governor, the next year the provincial two sessions successfully removed the pronoun, began his journey from a financial expert to an economic master.

After graduating from a famous university in China, he went abroad for further study, obtained a doctorate degree in finance from a famous university in the United States, and returned to China to work in the People's Bank of China. In addition to a short-term study at the Central Party School, he also served as vice governor of a southwestern province for a short time, but soon returned to Beijing, served in several state-owned banks, and finally returned to the People's Bank of China as vice governor and parachuted into Hohai Province.

After leaving the financial system and coming to Ho Hai Province to serve as governor, many people think that his tenure is just a transition, and even there are gilded elements, the purpose is to gather experience and reserve energy for the head of the country's financial sector. But after a few years, it was found that he was not just a transition, and that this duke's ambition was still very ambitious, not only to get the actual experience of serving as a provincial governor, but also to have a higher goal, that is, a higher position after the secretary of the provincial party committee.

Chen Nengliang does not hide his ambitions, but he does not care too much about speculation or discussion, and seems to still be an expert and scholar, focusing on his own research and experiments. That is the ideal of establishing China's largest financial center, and the specific idea is to devote the province's efforts to build a financial platform, practice the integration and innovation of a variety of financial instruments, and build it into the largest financial center in the country, so as to compete with the financial status of Beijing and Shanghai, and eventually surpass Hong Kong to become a new financial center in Asia.

The goal was clear, the path was clear, and not only was it implemented quickly, but the steps were eye-popping. First of all, it is necessary to set up deputy financial posts, which not only make it mandatory for all localities and cities to appoint deputy financial mayors, but also to go to counties and municipalities where conditions permit, and also set up full-time deputy posts to be in charge of and take charge of financial work. Second, a large number of highly educated and high-quality financial personnel have been recruited and recruited to take up temporary posts at the grass-roots level to take charge of financial work, in addition to most of them being assigned to deputy posts in various cities and cities. The other is to establish a financial research institute, hold national and international financial forums and seminars, and invite domestic and foreign financial executives, experts and scholars to visit frequently, or give lectures or seminars. In addition, local commercial banks are encouraged to vigorously increase their intermediary business and innovative business, greatly increase the rate of return on funds, reduce the provision of credit, and participate more in investment operations. There is also to encourage listed enterprises or companies in the province to increase financing and expansion efforts, and invest funds in more efficient industries or projects.

After a radical move, the effect is naturally extraordinary, the economic data of that year and the next two years are very good, has been praised from the central to the local, and is warmly praised by the financial industry, known as the "most understanding of the financial economy expert governor", for a time unparalleled in the limelight, there is a momentum of the first person in the river and sea.

However, this kind of rapid development of the government's work ideas and economic data as the king was soon opposed by the vice governors of the provincial government, especially his practice of focusing only on financial innovation, one-sided pursuit of certain breakthroughs, and not considering balanced development and people's livelihood issues, and there were many voices of resistance and criticism. In particular, he paid too much attention to investment growth, ignoring the radical practice of making the real economy bigger and stronger, which ran counter to the idea of the provincial party committee and the provincial government to establish a manufacturing base and a distribution center for special agricultural products in recent years, which naturally caused Lin Dongsheng's dissatisfaction and worry.

Therefore, on many occasions, due to disagreements, the two had unpleasant arguments, and even Lin Dongsheng reprimanded a deputy mayor of finance, which was raised to a political level and resorted to the top level of the central government.

"A city needs more than just finance, a city's managers can not always think about investing to make a lot of money, make quick money, can not let the businessmen's nature of profit-seeking become the instinct of the government, any level of government should first of all be the people's government, is the manager and maintainer of the city for the people, to consider more people's livelihood, social, economic, political issues, take into account the interests of all parties, can not be mercenary, can not compete with the people, let alone become a company."

Such remarks not only speak the substance, but also speak the voices of many people, but also very different from the criticism of the media and theoretical circles outside the province, with the side effects of over-focusing on financial innovation began to appear, especially after agriculture experienced several major natural disasters, agricultural production was hit hard, directly dragging down the benefits of leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization, and eventually transmitted to the real economy, triggering a large economic turmoil. The sharp drop in peasant incomes has made the fragile rural economy even worse, causing extreme dissatisfaction among the top levels of the central government, and it can be regarded as putting an end to this controversy. However, although the controversy is no longer over, it is difficult to bridge the contradictions and rifts between the two top leaders of the party and government, and there is a possibility of expansion at any time.

After that, although Chen Nengliang reined in a lot and began to pay attention to economic work other than finance, the idea of establishing China's largest financial center could not be eliminated. I also pay more attention to behavior and strategies, and even a lot of practical work to a large extent, and I have begun to take the initiative to communicate and exchange with the provincial party committee and Lin Dongsheng. Maybe it's self-realization, maybe it's a master's point, and it seems that he also understands the truth that a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, with his qualifications and ability, as well as his connections, if he wants to easily bring down Lin Dongsheng, it is still impossible to do it in the short term, and he still needs to continue to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity
