Chapter Ninety-Seven: Officials and Merchants Are Entangled
Zhang Ke handed the coffee to the uncle, held a cup by himself, sat down in no hurry, and gently stirred it with a stainless steel spoon: "Don't you feel surprised?" ”
"I didn't feel surprised, I just thought you were in a hurry." Zhang Zhifei took a sip of coffee and scalded it, "The legal representative of the company is...... It seems that this requires at least eighteen years old? Zhang Zhifei suddenly thought of this question, shook his hand, and splashed a few drops of coffee on the glass.
"Xu Si," Zhang Ke said bluntly, "is this name already swirling in your head?" ”
Zhang Zhifei remembered that he accompanied Zhang Ke to send money to Xu Sijia in the summer, and when he passed by Sha Tin, he thought of her and said with a smile: "Be careful that your father knows how to peel off a layer of your skin." ”
"Why?" Zhang Ke looked at his uncle Zhang Zhifei with an innocent face, "Contracting a paper mill in the name of Haiyu Company is a key move to help Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian recover their disadvantages. ”
"You know what I said," Zhang Zhifei stared at Zhang Ke's eyes seriously, wanting to see what he really planned in his heart, "Ding Xiangshan's case has been handed over to the local procuratorate, and it may be tried at the end of the year......
"Among so many people, I won't hide it from you, uncle, Xu Si was nominally found by Sister Wanqing, but in fact he worked for me......"
"I'd rather you lie to me, aren't you forcing me to lie with you?" Zhang Zhifei smiled bitterly and said, "You kid is ambitious, you can't sit still at this time, I can understand." Why can't you ask someone else for help? ”
Zhang Ke shook his head calmly. In his previous life, the intersection with Xu Si was only met once in the trial after the Ding Xiangshan case in 99, and then when he heard the news that she committed suicide in prison, he could no longer forget this woman who left a short impression on him: it was the remnant beauty after being ruthlessly destroyed by the world. Xu Si's weak beauty can touch people's hearts even more against the backdrop of cruel reality, not to mention that so many things happened in the ninety-fourth year are related to Xu Si, Zhang Ke can't convince himself to let go of Xu Si.
"Sister Wanqing also thinks that Xu Si can be trusted, and it is not easy to find someone who can be trusted," Zhang Ke did not tell the truth completely, and the feeling in his heart could not be understood by others, "Ding Xiangshan's case will not be tried publicly, and the subsequent trial of the loss of state-owned assets of Xinfeng Group will not involve Xu Si, and the 270,000 yuan she withdrew from Xinfeng Group will only be treated as a loan." Of course, considering that there will be some influence on a small scale, I think in a few years, everyone will forget about it, even if she is a labor prisoner, she cannot be deprived of the right to work. ”
"It's good if you know the proportion," Zhang Zhifei smiled helplessly, knowing that he couldn't convince this nephew, and besides, with Xu Xueping's support behind this matter, it was not a big deal. I'm afraid that Zhang Keren will be fascinated by Xu Si, thinking of Zhang Ke's intimate appearance with Tang Jing on weekdays, this is unlikely, Zhang Zhifei never thinks that men need to keep a woman, as long as they can keep a clear head in front of women, of course, this point of view will not be accepted by the second brother Zhang Zhixing, since he can't accept it, he can only hide it from him. Zhang Zhifei remembered one thing and said, "Xu Si is an outsider after all, and Zhang Yi doesn't have much interest in staying in Dongshe, or let him help you." ”
Cousin Zhang Yi is the son of uncle Zhang Zhiwei, who graduated from high school the year before and worked in the Dongshe County Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Are you afraid that my parents have opinions," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "just forget that in fact, I have the biggest opinion on my uncle?" ”
"Your uncle won't talk about him, Zhang Yi treats you well, I think you can tell the difference." Zhang Zhifei smiled.
"It's not that I have an opinion on the uncle, Zhang Yi's temperament is unstable, I don't keep him here, I think Uncle don't care about him for the time being, he came to the city by himself, he always has to rely on his ability, this small step can't be taken, it's better to let him stay in Dongshe."
"I just hope that he can be half as shrewd as yours and be able to help me," Zhang Zhifei was noncommittal, he didn't want Zhang Yi to continue to stay in Dongshe and waste his youth, "The topic is so far, what did we say at the beginning?" ”
"Shao Zhigang, the boss of the Garden Hotel, ......"
"That's right, since you can call the shots here, you should meet Shao Zhigang, he used to be the director of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery Factory, and he squeezed others down to build a garden hotel, this person really has ideas."
"Shao Zhigang can let Uncle you turn it in, of course, there are some real talents," Zhang Ke didn't know Shao Zhigang very well before, and the report didn't mention that he had been the director of an agricultural machinery factory, and smiled, "Uncle did you think about asking him to help you?" ”
"You know him?" Zhang Zhifei was a little surprised, "Shao Zhigang is very knowledgeable, and the city agricultural machinery factory also declined after he left, and when he was in the agricultural machinery factory before, it was very prosperous." Hongyuan wants to become bigger and stronger, and it is necessary to recruit more such characters, but as soon as I revealed some meaning, I refused to him, this kind of person is unwilling to work for others. ”
"This kind of person is arrogant, what he wants, you can't give him, and I can't give him. It's just the project of the catering and leisure plaza, I have already considered it maturely, and I don't need to ask his opinion," Zhang Ke closed his chin with his fingers together, "Uncle will definitely say that I am too complacent, even if I think about it maturely, I have to listen to the opinions of others?" He is such an thoughtful person, he heard that there is a shadow of Haiyu Company behind this project, do you think he will be able to sit still? I'm trying to get him hooked on his own! ”
Seeing that Zhang Ke had hidden the cunning that young people should not have, Zhang Zhifei laughed.
Zhang Ke asked Zhou Wenbin to drive him and his uncle back to the office compound, and before leaving the office, he mentioned to Zhou Fu about transferring Zhou Wenbin to Kumho Company.
Zhang Zhifei sat in the car and naturally asked about the garrison military plate, and Zhang Ke roughly introduced the background of Shengxin Company. Only then did Zhang Zhifei know that Zhang Ke's level of contact was much higher than his, and that if Hongyuan wanted to truly develop and grow, his vision could not be limited to Haizhou City.
Referring to Shengxin Company, Zhang Ke remembered to thank Wanqing for giving Ye Jianbin the draft of Ericsson's GH398 marketing plan. Although it was completely withdrawn from Haitai Trade, Haiyu Company is still the main shareholder of Haitai, and the garrison card is a favor sent by Shengxin, and some things still have to be done.

Zhang Zhixing and his wife were coming back from buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and saw Zhang Ke and his cousin Zhang Zhifei sitting in an Audi car, and asked Zhang Zhifei with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is getting more and more shelf-like, where did this car come from, wasn't it the broken Mitsubishi last time I saw you?" ”
"This is Haiyu's car." Last time, Jiang Wei drove Zhang Ke back, and Liang Gezhen saw this car.
Zhang Zhixing felt strange: Xie Wanqing should not have put this car in Haizhou.
Zhang Ke and Uncle Zhang Zhifei poked their heads out of the car window with a smile, some things naturally can't be known to people with old-fashioned styles. Zhang Zhifei proposed to go to the restaurant to eat, and Zhang Zhixing raised the plastic bag he was carrying in his left and right hands, full of two pockets of vegetables. Zhang Ke was also annoyed to treat the restaurant as his own kitchen, so he pushed the cart down with his uncle and asked Zhou Wenbin to drive the car back.
Everyone started to help clean up, a table of dishes was quickly prepared, and when eating, it was inevitable to mention the parent-teacher meeting held this morning, Liang Gezhen naturally had to count Zhang Ke's recent thoughts on studying, seeing that her husband Zhang Zhixing was indifferent to accompany Zhang Zhifei to drink, he couldn't help complaining, but Zhang Zhifei promised to send him abroad after Zhang Ke finished high school, so he was angry. Talking about the parent-teacher meeting, I heard Zhang Zhixing mention the essay written by Zhang Ke in the exam, Zhang Zhifei knew that the dredging project of the Shugang River that Zhang Ke said was not groundless, and Tang Xueqian wanted to make great achievements, and vigorously renovating the urban environment must be the first step.
After all, Tang Xueqian's foundation is not deep, and no one is sure that he will be able to smoothly remove the pronouns next year, and he will probably take action before the National People's Congress next year to expand his influence.
Zhang Zhifei mentioned the problem of the Shugang River, Zhang Zhixing stopped his chopsticks and thought about it: "The Shugang River has a great impact on the urban environment, which is indeed an urgent problem, and there is no need to wait for the general draft of the urban construction plan to be released." I mentioned to Mayor Tang that it might be proposed for discussion at the municipal government office meeting as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Zhifei asked Zhang Zhixing if he could delay this matter for a month before mentioning it to Tang Xueqian, or if he had never heard of it at all.
Zhang Zhixing said: "Such a big problem, how many things will be delayed for a month, why do you want to delay for a month?" ”
Once the topic of the municipal government office meeting is formed, other engineering companies also get the news, and whether it can be passed in the end, everyone will have their own judgment, and what opportunities do they have at all? Looking at Zhang Ke's playful and mocking eyes, Zhang Zhifei couldn't wait to slap himself twice, what did he do when he mentioned this? It is impossible to let Zhang Zhixing show favoritism, and he is extremely depressed.
"It's best to raise this issue from below," Zhang Ke said to his father, "whether it is the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau, or the Municipal Administration, they all have a position on this issue. I think there is a lot of resistance to the passage of this issue. The municipal government office meeting was passed, but what about the municipal standing committee meeting? Such a big project must pass the National People's Congress, and Old Man Wan is the most difficult at that level. Of course, the rumor can be inadvertently revealed from Uncle Tang's mouth, and the following engineering companies must be allowed to get the rumor, and Uncle Xiao will do some more work, and it is entirely possible for several engineering companies in Haizhou City to let the following bureaus raise this issue, and it can be passed smoothly. ”
"Will this work?" Zhang Zhixing habitually asked rhetorically.
"Such a big municipal project, what a big piece of fat, you think how many people are willing to make this a fact," Zhang Ke smiled, "I think Uncle is quite greedy." ”
Zhang Zhifei subconsciously wiped his lips, causing Liang Gezhen to laugh: "His uncle looks quite greedy." ”
"Shugang River affects the image of Haizhou too much," Zhang Zhifei said embarrassedly, "Isn't this anxious for Mayor Tang?" ”
"Yes, yes, don't hide it," Zhang Ke laughed, "Starting a company is to make money, my dad doesn't expect you to have much responsibility in your heart, do a good job, don't let people poke my dad's spine." The whole project is very large, the budget is several hundred million, and the municipal finance is not rich in hand, so it is not possible to do it in a moment and a half, so it will be promoted now, and it will be good to be included in the budget next year. It's not that Hongyuan's family can eat it, Uncle went to contact several other engineering companies to promote this matter, and he has already taken the initiative, what else do you have to worry about? ”
Zhang Zhifei smiled and said: "Xiao Ke will be able to engage in politics when he grows up, this skill is enough to throw Wan Xiangqian's old guys around, don't you see your father and Mayor Tang have a headache these days?" ”
Liang Gezhen shook his head and said, "What's so good about being an official?" Like your brother, the whole person is devoted to work, and this month he accompanied me to the street to buy back vegetables, and Mayor Tang brought it back to Sister Gu first. Money does not necessarily get more than others, and among the department-level cadres in Haizhou City, my family is the least welcome. ”
"If you go to the shack another day, you will be satisfied," Zhang Zhixing shook his head and sighed, "How many people in Haizhou City can live in a three-bedroom house?" ”
"Mayor Tang is not a house in the teacher's academy?" Zhang Zhifei said with a smile, "My brother has a bright future, just transition two or three years in the right position, sister-in-law is changing houses now, waiting until my brother becomes a member of the Standing Committee, and then changing houses, isn't it a toss?" Simply wait for my brother to progress to become a member of the Standing Committee, and then change the house, one step in place, I will find the best designer to help you decorate, and you will definitely be the most decent in Haizhou. ”
Liang Gezhen laughed embarrassedly: "You rely on your brother, you don't know that you can only make progress in the years and months of the donkey, don't expect it." ”
Zhang Ke said: "You can't say nonsense, it's unlucky. ”
Liang Gezhen was stunned, and subconsciously covered his mouth, but saw Zhang Ke laughing and slapping him with chopsticks: "Mom dares to tease, you are getting fatter and fatter." ”
Zhang Ke turned his head to look at his father and said, "Dad, if Uncle Tang wants to do something, he has to join forces with Zhou Fuming to invite Wan Qianqian down, he is too much in the way of the National People's Congress." ”
"I'm afraid this is not easy...... Zhang Zhixing said with a frown.
"Will Xu Hongbo have good ideas?"
"Heh, I know that you won't learn chess from him, how did you think of looking for him?" Zhang Zhixing is accustomed to talking to his son with the thinking of an adult.
"What a chess lesson! The results are all like this, and there is still time to learn chess? Liang Gezhen didn't know why, she didn't allow Zhang Ke to learn chess very early, and she screamed in fuss when she heard this. In her eyes, Zhang Ke will always be just a sixteen-year-old boy, no matter how she usually behaves, even if she herself sometimes asks Zhang Ke to think of some crooked ideas? This is probably a maternal instinct.
"You don't understand, don't interject blindly, domestic education is not suitable for Zhang Ke, and there is no way to get poor grades." Zhang Ke said.
"Look at your brother, just conniving at Zhang Ke like this." Liang Gezhen said to Zhang Zhifei.
"Why did I condone him?" Zhang Zhixing smiled bitterly and said, "Today, I went to his school to give training to a very shameless person. ”
"Come on, it's all my fault," Zhang Ke begged for mercy with his hands together, "Next time I go to the provincial capital to buy gifts, my mother is the first in line." ”
"You think your mother is so easy to buy?" Liang Gezhen said angrily and funny, "Ignore you, you can sit in the living room and chat, and I'll clean up the table." ”
Sit on the couch in the living room and turn on the TV, and the sound is so low that it doesn't get in the way of talking. Zhang Ke mentioned the encounter with Xu Hongbo to his father, ignoring the existence of Xu Si and Chen Feirong: "I also happened to meet him, so I thought that he might be helpful to my father and Uncle Tang, I think Uncle Tang really wants to win him over today." ”
Zhang Zhixing smiled and nodded: "Not to mention that Xu Hongbo has worked beside Wan Xiangqian for six years, his own level is very high, you Uncle Tang didn't expect you to help with this, you might as well play a few more games of chess with him recently, and write that article first, which will be of great help to adjust the city's urban construction planning ideas." ”
"This article was signed by Xu Hongbo to be published in Haizhou Daily, and then put forward by Uncle Tang in the city, Wan Xiangqian was probably suspicious," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "But Xu Hongbo's ghost-like character is not easy to fool, I am afraid that he will not agree to sign the article, which is a headache." ”
Zhang Zhifei said with a smile: "You all know that Xu Hongbo is a ghost-like character, and he still racks his brains to calculate him? ”
"How can this be called calculation? Let Uncle Tang come forward to help the Haizhou Chess Academy contact a better place, he probably won't refuse, the effect is not the same? Zhang Ke said with a smile, "Xu Hongbo is still a little influential among the cultural people in Haizhou City, and publishing articles in Haizhou Daily can expand his influence and let others follow suit and publish articles, so that there will be a good public opinion orientation, which can reduce the pressure on Uncle Tang and my father." Besides, this article can have a wide impact and will directly promote the dredging project of the Shugang River, so Uncle will think that it doesn't matter if he calculates Xu Hongbo, right? ”
Zhang Zhifei smiled, knowing that Douzui was not Zhang Ke's opponent, so he simply shut up.
Zhang Ke is not without his own calculations. It is a big deal to rectify the urban environment, shape the characteristics of the city, and carry out the construction of a large city, and as long as a good atmosphere of public opinion is formed, Song Peiming can be encouraged to set an example on behalf of the Chengnan District Government. Chengnan District does not have the capacity to promote such a major project as dredging and dredging the Ganggang River, but isn't the transformation of a paper mill into a catering and leisure plaza an excellent example of improving the urban environment and shaping the city's characteristics?
The transformation of the old factory into a catering and leisure square, coupled with the hot topic of resettlement of laid-off workers, in addition to attracting media attention, can completely deduct a sum of money from the district finance.
Sometimes, you have to admit that many things are closely related, and officials and businessmen are even more entangled.
