Chapter 794: Progress, Mixed Blessings
Bai Zhanmo has been idle for just over a year, and then it has been reactivated? The Fu family's power in the capital is really not small, and Bai Zhanmo, who has been punished with a major punishment, can still re-enter the office in a low-key manner, although it is only in the Ministry of Agriculture, but it is also very fast.
Xia Xiang was taken aback: "Bai Zhanmo seems to be an engineer, but he has nothing to do with genetic engineering in agriculture, he should be a manager." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng did not hide it: "The director of the office of the extension group under the Ministry of Agriculture is at the department level, which is equivalent to demotion, and it is the relationship that Fu Xianfeng helped him find, otherwise he would have to be idle for at least two years." ”
Fu Xianfeng is now idle in the capital, and the deputy provincial-level cadres who have been dismissed on the spot have a huge impact, and he said that it will take more than three years before it can be reactivated.
"So, Mr. Zhao's choice is contrary to the interests of the Fu family?" Xia wanted to understand that since Bai Zhanmo was responsible for promoting genetically modified technology at the Ministry of Agriculture, it proved that the Fu family had interests involved.
Zhao Xiaofeng's opposition to genetically modified organisms will inevitably lead to contradictions with the Fu family.
"Hey, hey."
Zhao Xiaofeng smiled embarrassedly, "Fu Xianfeng has no faith in his words, and he can't be deeply friends, he and I have already settled the accounts and drawn a clear line."
Besides, genetically modified technology is a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, I am Chinese, I can make a little gray money, but the money with a black conscience does not earn, I still have my own bottom line.
To tell the truth, Mayor Xia, I think Lang City has a natural advantage, can promote the cultivation of organic crops, whether it is cotton or wheat, or build a vegetable and meat base, specially supply high-end places in the capital, play a green, pure natural slogan, sell at a high price several times higher than the market price, and some people pay. ”
Zhao Xiaofeng's proposal is indeed good.
In later generations, with the improvement of people's pursuit of healthy life, with the realization that the pollution and mutation of greenhouse vegetables are becoming more and more serious, the pesticide residues are increasing, and the hazards of genetically modified organisms are gradually accepted, many organic crop farms have emerged in various places, and organic plants and organic meat have also been introduced to the market and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The price of organic plants is several times higher than that of ordinary crops, and organic meat is even sold for hundreds of yuan a kilogram, but because of the expansion of the level of high-ranking officials and elites in China, there is also a large enough market.
At this point, Xia Xiang fully understood Zhao Xiaofeng's intentions, he took a fancy to the geographical advantages of Lang City, close to the capital, and at the same time, the land and labor were countless times cheaper than the capital.
However, the Fu family intended to promote genetically modified technology in Lang City, which had an irreconcilable conflict with Zhao Xiaofeng's plan.
There is a lot of fertile land in Lang City, which can accommodate the construction of the genetically modified technology promotion base and Zhao Xiaofeng's organic crop production base at the same time.
But from a commercial point of view, from Zhao Xiaofeng's standpoint, the organic crop and meat production base is built next to the GMO pilot base, and no matter how much he advertises and tries to promote the purity and naturalness of organic crops, no one believes it.
Genetically modified and organic crops are two distinct concepts, one is regarded by the higher groups of people as a flood beast, and the other is regarded by them as a symbol of the enjoyment of the privileged class, how can they be confused? Just like building a sesame oil factory next to a garbage factory, no one buys the fragrant sesame oil, and the smell of garbage alone makes people's first impression of the sesame oil factory plummet, and they still want to have a market reputation and dream! Xia Xiang didn't say that he didn't believe that Zhao Xiaofeng's hatred of genetically modified technology didn't come from his heart, but he didn't fully trust him Zhao Xiaofeng, and now that he knew Zhao Xiaofeng's interests, he was completely relieved.
There can be friendship between people, but before friendship is established, there is still a sense of security when there are common interests.
Xia Xiang finally took the initiative to pick up the teacup: "I've been drinking tea for a long time, and it seems that the food hasn't been served yet, Rose, your hospitality is too light." ”
Wang Qiangrose also smiled happily: "If I don't wait for Mayor Xia's orders, where do I dare to serve food?" What's more, it's a private dish specially prepared for you. ”
She bowed slightly, got up and went out, "I'll arrange it." ”
It must be admitted that as a mixed-race child, Wang Qiangrose behaves dignifiedly, is down-to-earth and generous, and everyone's beautiful demeanor can be seen at a glance, which is not much better than Lian Ruohan and Mei Xiaolin - a charm that mixes traditional virtues and aristocratic temperament, and it is easy to make a man with great power and a lot of money feel conquered.
Some men like to conquer female stars, but most female stars have value that can be measured, and under the power, they are basically captured.
Some men like to conquer female athletes, but in contrast, the highlights of female athletes are more durable.
But men of a higher level like to conquer celebrities.
Celebrities are more innocent than female stars, more noble than female athletes, most of them are from famous families, have status and status, and have grown up in prestigious families since childhood, so they have more cultivation and taste.
If you study and live in Europe for more than ten years, and you are more or less contaminated with the so-called aristocratic temperament, it is easier to stimulate the desire for conquest of high-level men.
The more noble, dignified, and emotional a woman is, the higher her worth will be.
Wang Qiangrose is well versed in the three flavors, and between her gestures, Xia Xiang can't help but feel fluttering when she sees it, and she is almost impressed by her elegance and demureness.
The courtesans of the famous Lang City really live up to its name.
Wang Qiang Rose Ming went out to arrange meals, but in fact, she still intended to leave space for Xia Xiang and Zhao Xiaofeng.
As soon as Wang Qiangrose left, Zhao Xiaofeng's sitting posture became much more casual, and after relaxing, he shook his head and smiled: "Being with this woman is too stressful."
She is too dignified, and her every move makes people feel inexplicably uneasy, Mayor Xia, what do you think? Xia Xiang didn't feel that Wang Qiangrose brought him much pressure, maybe deep down in his heart, he had never thought about Wang Qiangrose, the so-called desirelessness is rigid.
However, Xia Xiang did not answer Zhao Xiaofeng's question, but said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao wants me to stop the promotion of genetically modified technology, and I am also more than capable of doing it, and I am weak in the municipal party committee and have no allies." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng heard the meaning of Xia Xiang's words, and smiled: "I am only responsible for providing a piece of information, and it is up to you to decide how to do it - Zhang Yingji can cooperate with you on the issue of genetically modified technology." ”
Xia Xiang smiled knowingly, and with the limited support of Deputy Secretary Sakura, it also made him feel a lot more relieved.
He must be clear about the position of each member of the Standing Committee so that he can take advantage of the GMO issue to open up the situation in Langshi and take the first crucial step.
Otherwise, even if he tried his best to oppose it, it would be useless to have a sense of righteous indignation.
In political matters, enthusiasm and impulsiveness can never solve problems.
If you want to solve the problem, you must find allies, and you must take the necessary means.
In fact, whether at home or abroad, under the entanglement of major interests, it is all about doing everything, and politics, to put it bluntly, is the same as doing business, and there must be a bargaining process while paying attention to strategy.
As for why Zhao Xiaofeng cooperated with Wang Qiangrose, whether he was also one of the subservients under Wang Qiangrose's skirt, Xia Xiang didn't want to think about it anymore, what he could guess was that the guests who came and went from Wang Qiangrose's No. 9 Mansion were either official or expensive, and they were particularly particular about food, and if Lang City became a production base for genetically modified crops, the impact on No. 9 Mansion would also be fatal.
She and Zhao Xiaofeng also have common interests, if Zhao Xiaofeng's organic production base is completed, Mansion Nine can also get the moon first.
"Since it is cooperation, I must be very sincere, Mayor Xia does not have to doubt my intentions."
Zhao Xiaofeng emphasized another sentence, "My principle of dealing with people is that if there are interests, we should talk about interests first, and if we can talk about them, we will make friends."
As long as Mayor Xia can stop the plan of the Ministry of Agriculture and promote the completion of the organic production base, after the matter is completed, I will pay you a hundred percent of the benefits.
Of course, whether it succeeds or not, a diamond card from Mansion Nine will also be presented now. ”
Xia Xiang waved his hand: "Let's not talk about the interests of Yicheng now, it's too early to say, the diamond card is good, I will laugh and accept it, thank you Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang for their kindness."
Mansion Nine is good, it is a good place for vacation and leisure. ”
"Hey, hey, hey."
Zhao Xiaofeng smiled ambiguously, "The beauty of it is not something that can be experienced in a while and a half, Mansion No. 9 is comparable to heaven and earth."
Of course, the biggest beauty is Wang Qiangrose, but she looks demure and light, which is really difficult to deal with, don't blame me for not reminding you, Mayor Xia, if you want to pick flowers, beware of pricking your hands. ”
Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Zhao, don't talk about Fengyue, only talk about politics." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng was also interesting, and patted his thigh: "Okay, I appreciate your character of not pretending or pretentious, and if you have a good conversation today, I will send Mayor Xia another word of advice - oh Chen and the Mei family have a lot of common interests, he has several industries, and the Mei family has shares, and Oh Chen is also a supporter of the promotion of genetically modified technology." ”
Involved in the Mei family again? Fortunately, it was Xia Xiang, and when someone else came to Lang City, not to mention that he wanted to open up the situation, as soon as he heard that someone's background was the vice premier, and someone's background was the four major families, not to mention that he wanted to make a difference, he was probably so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and he obediently messed around with his qualifications.
What shocked Xia Xiang even more was that Zhao Xiaofeng immediately said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Mayor Xia, anyway, I will talk about the ugly things ahead, if you really oppose the promotion of genetically modified organisms, you will go all the way to the dark, and I will also give you support within my ability, and when you are a friend, you must do your best, and you want people to come out, there is no second word."
If you can't withstand the pressure and retreat halfway, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! Zhao Xiaofeng's words were not good, and they could even be said to be threatening, but Xia Xiang was not angry, because he knew that the reason why Zhao Xiaofeng said it cautiously was that this matter was indeed very important, and he would definitely face huge pressure, and like the Siniu Group incident, it would touch the interests of the entire family and the group.
But Xia Xiang is Xia Xiang, in the process of fighting with Fu Xianxian, how could he ever think of retreating? In the planning of the Siniu Group incident, how could he have worried about being settled by the Fu family in the future? Xia Xiang sometimes resorted to bureaucratic means, and sometimes he compromised politically, but he always had the unwavering belief in his heart, that is, he always cultivated the virtue of serving the government, always had the heart of self-discipline, and sought his own government in his position, and fully supported everything that was beneficial to the country and the people.
We will resolutely oppose any act that brings calamity to the country and the people.
The issue of genetically modified organisms is a matter of a century-old plan, and may even be related to the future of a nation, although his strength is very small, but within his jurisdiction, within his ability, how much blue sky can be supported, he will go all out and never look back.
"In the Xiama District, I have been planning for a year to deal with Yuan Mingming's travel capital.
When I was plotted, when Secretary Fu was promoted to Mayor Fu, I have been moving forward with firm steps, Mr. Zhao, if you don't have confidence in me, I don't think you will meet me today. ”
Xia Xiang was very calm, but responded to Zhao Xiaofeng very firmly.
Zhao Xiaofeng laughed, slapped the table and stood up: "It's done, it's done today."
However......" he looked worried again, "The relationship between Mayor Xia and Mei Shengping will definitely encounter another problem, because the promotion of genetically modified technology not only involves the interests of the Fu family, but also the Mei family, and it is also the largest cooperation project between the Mei family and the Fu family." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Xiang was really surprised.
Between the four major families, there is competition, confrontation, and interest cooperation, and it is normal for the Fu family and the Mei family to have common interests, but what shocked Xia Xiang was that the biggest cooperation project between the Mei family and the Fu family turned out to be genetically modified technology! He also knew for a long time that although he currently had a good relationship with three of the four major families, it was based on the fundamental interests of the family that were not involved.
Once there is a conflict of interest, it is small, and there may be room for mitigation.
If it is big, it may turn against each other in the blink of an eye.
If the background of genetically modified technology is just the Fu family, it would be good to say, anyway, between him and the Fu family, there is already incompatibility, I never expected that there would be the interests of the Mei family also entangled in it, Xia Xiang felt helpless for the first time in his life, could it be that one day he would go to the opposite side with Mei Shengping? Thinking about it further, in fact, he also had a little hunch that after he came to Lang City, whether it was Mei Shengping or Qiu Xufeng, their attitude towards him had changed subtly.
It was not because he was far away from Yan City, but because of his appointment, because there was an irreconcilable contradiction between the behind-the-scenes promoter who arranged for him to come to Lang City and the interests of the family, so it was inevitable that several families would be wary of him.
Although Mei Shengping sent him to take office and did enough superficial articles, he did not reveal any of the Mei family's relationship in Lang City.
introduced a Liu Yilin and his acquaintance, which is also not a deep or shallow relationship.
Qiu Xufeng is the same, only promoted Li Caiyuan to be his secretary, and did not give details.
Except for the old man who called him to go to the capital, after he was appointed, there was no follow-up, not to mention the Fu family, and there was no contact with him at all, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the relationship between him and several major families had dropped to the freezing point.
It also led to the early days when he came to Lang City, his eyes were black, he couldn't find the direction, he didn't dare to take a big step forward, and he went through a period of confusion that was neither long nor short.
Just when he first had Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai, two available people, he slowly opened up the situation in Lang City, and saw a glimmer of light, Zhao Xiaofeng's unexpected appearance not only brought a lot of inside information, but also brought about a huge collision in Lang City.
The promotion of genetically modified organisms is bound to be a vicious battle in Lang City.
Although Zhao Xiaofeng's inside information is very timely and very useful, which makes Xia Xiang have a clear goal, because it is possible that there is a conflict of interest with the Mei family because of the difference in position, it can be said that although the progress today is great, it is a mixed blessing.
The position determines the team, and the team decides whether it is friend or foe, Xia Xiang glanced at Zhao Xiaofeng, remembering that he and Zhao Xiaofeng were still opponents who had never met a few months ago, and he didn't want to sit together today, but they actually became an alliance working together, which made him have to sigh that above politics, sometimes the transformation of friends and enemies is even just a turn.
…… After having a hearty lunch, after continuing to talk with Zhao Xiaofeng and Wang Qiangrose, and finally at the unanimous request of Zhao Xiaofeng and Wang Qiangrose, Xia Xiang called the two "Brother Feng" and "Sister Rose" respectively and completed a pleasant meeting.
Xia wanted to come out of Mansion No. 9 to return to the municipal party committee, and the municipal party committee was the foothold for him to open up the situation.
What he didn't know was that he had just come out of Mansion No. 9, and Oh Chen knew about his meeting with Wang Qiangrose.
Oh Chen's office at Caesars Hotel is luxurious and magnificent, with a large 150-square-meter room.
Oh Chen didn't sit in his boss chair high up, but sat on the couch at the bottom and talked to someone.
"How's it going?" In the room, in addition to Oh Neen Chen and a 55-year-old man, there was also Silver Jasmine.
Silver Jasmine stood to the side, her hands behind her back, her feet folded, and looked out the window.
Her ass is round and plump, upturned and straight, and at the waist is suddenly closed, graceful, even if people who have not seen her true face, just look at the back, you can see the beauty of the demeanor, and yearning.
Oh Chen's office is located on the 18th floor, if you look out, you can see most of Lang City, I don't know if it is intentional, if you look out, the most obvious place to see is the front and back doors of Mansion No. 9.
The entire Mansion No. 9 is also in sight, and there is a 30-fold bird-watching mirror erected in front of the window - of course, it is not for bird-watching, oh Chen Ke does not have this leisure and elegance, he observes people.
Yin Jasmine, who inadvertently looked out, saw a familiar figure coming out of Mansion No. 9, she wrinkled her small and delicate nose slightly, and then pointed her bird-watching glasses at the figure downstairs, and under the magnification of 30 times, Xia Xiang's handsome and slightly healthy face came into view.
He walked in a hurry, with a smile on his face, his steps were firm, after coming out of the No. 9 Mansion, Wang Qiangrose personally came out to see him off, he just waved his hand back slightly, and then walked away without looking back, without hesitating for a moment.
Is it really him? The guy who doesn't look white at all? Silver Jasmine somehow, from the first time she saw Xia Xiang, she didn't like him......
