Ma Wenjie took a sip of tea, looked at the back of the chair and watched Li Rui keep slugging in his mouth.

"I said Brother Wenjie, what are you talking about, is today's dish salty?" Li Rui said.

Ma Wenjie said: "I really didn't expect that you were so young that you would actually pack up these old guys properly." It's really a scrap to throw away! When I was your age, I was just a little clerk who was yelled at all day long. ”

"Haha, Brother Wenjie, you're about to become a billionaire, and you're still here to scold me! Besides, I have heard my brother-in-law say that you were already a department-level cadre when you went to the sea, and I really admire your courage. Look at how many people have struggled all their lives, let alone at the department level, and they can't even touch the department level. If you're still in the system, you're at least at the department level now. Li Rui said with a smile.

He is too clear about Ma Wenjie's resume, Ma Wenjie is a native of Jingang City, after graduating from university, he was assigned to work in the Foreign Trade Bureau of Jingang City, at the end of the 80s, he was already the deputy director of a certain department of the Foreign Trade Bureau, and the future is bright.

Ma Wenjie waved his hand and said: "I don't like restraint, it's really not mixed in the officialdom, if I mix it up again, let alone the department level, it's still a problem if the deputy department can keep it." This officialdom is far more complicated than a shopping mall, I remember someone once said such a sentence: first-class talents mixed with officialdom, second-rate talents mixed with shopping malls, and third-rate talents mixed with state-owned enterprises. Although this sentence is too absolute, I think it still makes quite sense. Let's just talk about Russia, the oligarchs who now control the lifeblood of the Russian economy. At the beginning, they were all government officials of the younger generation in the former Soviet Union, and they used to stand out in the officialdom. Now they are like fish in water, not only have they accumulated a lot of wealth for themselves. It can even affect the direction of the political situation. ”

Li Rui smiled and said nothing, this history is too familiar to him, Russia's economic lifeline is controlled by oligarchs, making the economy on the verge of collapse, and the people are complaining, until the KGB head named Vladimir came to power, arrested a dead chicken named Huo, forced Abu away, and shocked the oligarchs. Only then did the economy gradually recover.

Ma Wenjie took a sip of tea and continued: "Brother! Hehe, although we are a generation apart, since you call me Brother Wenjie, then I will call you Brother for the time being. At the dinner table just now, I listened to your plan for the pilot construction of this small market town, which is indeed a big deal and a high starting point, if it is completed in the future, let alone a small market town. It's bigger than the average county seat! Your brother is now in this key position, if you really want to make a difference in officialdom, this is a rare opportunity, if you do this well. The future is limitless! ”

"Brother Wenjie, you think too highly of me, and I'm just a gangster. Since I am in this position, I am also satisfied that I can do a few practical things for the people. ”

"Since you have this idea. Then you have to climb even higher. Ma Wenjie put down the teacup and said with his fingers. You think, you are now the secretary of the town party committee, even if you really do a few practical things for the people, you will only benefit the people of the town; But if you govern a county, the people of the county will also benefit; If your brother can rise to the top of the ladder and rise to a city or even a province, won't the people benefit even more? ”

"I don't have such lofty ideals as you say, I just want to have a clear conscience." Li Rui smiled and waved his hand.

"With a clear conscience, how easy it is to talk about it!" Ma Wenjie sighed and said with emotion, "I think I had such an idea as you at the beginning, but the ideal is very full, but the reality is often very skinny, and sometimes I have to force you to go along with them." To this day, sometimes I still feel bad when I think about it, which is one of the reasons why I quit my job back then. This person, there must always be something to insist on in his heart, no matter how complicated the environment is, how bad the situation is, as long as there is something in his heart to insist on, you can go on. On the contrary, I will be like me back then, muddy and drifting. ”

Li Rui didn't expect that the righteous, humorous, and somewhat vulgar and cynical Ma Wenjie he knew in his previous life actually had this young man, so he smiled and said: "Brother Wenjie, the younger brother has been taught." ”

Ma Wenjie smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "I don't dare to teach." Although we have known each other for a long time, you were still a child before, and it was only a matter of the past two days to say that you really knew each other, but you gave me a very unusual feeling, some of your views on things are very similar to mine, and some of your conversations seem to be beyond your current age range. So there are some things that I'd like to discuss with you and inspire each other. ”

Li Rui smiled secretly in his heart, the reason why he was able to give him this feeling was entirely because he knew him very well now, but he didn't know anything about himself. smiled: "I am also very willing to chat with successful people like Brother Wenjie and increase my knowledge." In fact, everyone's success is not accidental, and they all have the advantages and experiences that I can learn from. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You're so right. Ma Wenjie said excitedly, "I'll just say that I have a common language with you, and I also like to chat and brag with knowledgeable people." In fact, sometimes business is the same as being an official, the brain often has to keep clear and keep thinking, but a person's knowledge and insight are limited, and there are always unexpected places, so I chatted with different smart and knowledgeable people, which not only increased my knowledge, but also enlightened my own wisdom, and benefited a lot. ”

"So the two of us are heroes, right?"

"That's right, it's the same as what the hero sees!"

"Hahaha......" The two laughed in unison.

"But seriously, Li Rui, you are taking advantage of the right time and place now, it would be a pity if you didn't take advantage of it."

"But I heard about it."

Ma Wenjie smiled mysteriously: "If you want to develop, it's like trading stocks, you have to find a theme first." Today, I listened to you introduce the situation of Qingshanquan Town, and found that there are currently two major themes in your Qingshanquan Town. The first is the first batch of small market towns in the province to pilot, which is the time of day. It is the east wind, and the east wind is used to hype. Enhance the position of the 'brand' of Qingshanquan Town in the minds of the people and officials at all levels, and improve the psychological expectations of the society. I believe you should know better than me in this position; The second is the location advantage. As he spoke, he asked again: "The Beijing-Taiwan Expressway to be built in the Eighth Five-Year Plan will pass through you, don't you know?" ”

Li Rui nodded and said: "Of course I know, the land has been acquired, the only way out of Nanqiao County is in our Qingshanquan Town, and after the high-speed is opened, we are only fifty kilometers away from Pengcheng City, and it can be reached in half an hour, and now the county is also studying the construction of a fast passage from the county seat to Qingshanquan Town." If it weren't for this highway, maybe this small market town wouldn't be where we are. ”

"That's right. That's the location advantage. From the point of view of the large location, as long as this high-speed pass, your Qingshanquan Town is a prime location compared to Chengguan Town, the first point can drive investment, if the industry is developed, it can drive a large number of tertiary industries, first of all, real estate. I'll be honest with you, I'm really interested in the cement plant project you proposed, in addition to the fact that you have abundant limestone resources and easy water transportation. What I value most is the two or three thousand acres of land on the riverbank, although it is only industrial land, and the right to use it is only 50 years, but it will definitely appreciate in the future. Even if the cement plant is not profitable, the land income will be enough to exceed the interest on bank deposits and inflation. ”

Speaking of real estate, it was Li Rui's old business in his previous life, but now there are still seven or eight years before the spring of real estate. Housing prices have not increased significantly in the past seven or eight years, but Ma Wenjie's words still reminded him. Even if housing prices do not rise now, it does not mean that they will not rise in the future. Moreover, with the location advantage of Qingshanquan Town, it can be positioned as a tourist accommodation destination, a consumer shopping destination, a food and entertainment destination, etc., and vigorously develop the tertiary industry based on the entertainment industry, plan a few more high-grade star-rated hotels, and introduce and support several distinctive catering enterprises and large shopping centers...... At the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 21st century, many small coastal cities did not all do this at the beginning, and some cities even established local pillar industries in the entertainment industry.

Of course, he did not confide in Ma Wenjie these thoughts, and he still counted on Ma Wenjie to invest in the cement plant. Ma Wenjie only thought about what Li Rui had just said, and his face couldn't help showing a smug look, and continued: "In fact, according to such a location advantage, you only build a coal chemical industrial park, I think this aspect is not wide enough, if you want to develop greatly, you must have the support of large industries." Only the development of industry can lead to the development of other tertiary industries. ”

"You're right, my personal opinion is the same as you, we are now in the small market town construction plan, the north of the town is the coal chemical industry park, the east is the planning is the cement plant, only the west is still blank, I intend to be a reserved industrial base, the future of the formation of three stars with the moon, with the industry to support the future development of Qingshanquan Town. According to the current preliminary plan, the future population of urban residents will reach between 10 and 150,000 from the current 10,000 or so, and it is almost inconceivable that there will be no large-scale industrial development. But now the introduction of powerful, large-scale, high-tech projects and enterprises is available but not sought. The reason why we want to build a coal chemical industrial park is mainly because the resources are placed here, and we have a comparative advantage in attracting investment. Li Rui smiled bitterly, glanced at Ma Wenjie, who looked like he was in a daze, and said: "Brother Wenjie, you have a wide range of friends and extraordinary knowledge, if you have friends who have the intention of developing industry and investment, help introduce us to Qingshanquan Town, and we will definitely meet each other with the most favorable conditions." ”

"Hahaha......" Ma Wenjie raised his head and laughed, pointed at Li Rui and said, "You kid!" No wonder as soon as they heard that I had cement production equipment, they hit me with the idea. Yes! This time I went to Jiangning to meet with a few friends, they are all top players in their respective fields, I will definitely help you pay attention, if they do have the idea of investing and setting up a factory, I will definitely help you recommend it. (To be continued......)
