It is these people who are outside the rules. A gray area of unspoken rules has been formed, which makes the normal approval channels more and more difficult. Even the country's important economic activities, the allocation of energy and materials has become the food of these people's mouths.

These people are the most formidable resistance to reforms in the political system and the efficiency of governance, just as they were in the Soviet Union. These people have vested interests, and if they want to reform the existing bloated and inefficient civil service system, it will touch the foundation of their survival, and the huge network resources behind them will inevitably be obstructed.

Just like Nie Jiuchang targeted Liu Feng, Nie Jiuchang originally appreciated Liu Feng, although this appreciation was just the owner's appreciation of the "laying hen". But when Nie Sihu and Liu Feng became direct opponents, this kind of appreciation no longer existed.

Between the son and the "laying hen", who should be preferred, not to mention the extremely smart Nie Jiuchang, even a fool will make the wisest choice. Although this choice is a disaster for Jingjiang District, Nie Jiuchang still did it.

It's just a small county, I'm afraid that in the future, if there is a conflict between greater national interests and his own interests, Nie Jiuchang will also be obliged to make a choice. Just like those involved in the August 19 incident, the national interest has long been put on the back burner.

Xi Zhikuan saw this and resolutely decided to let his daughter and son-in-law quit, Xi Zhikuan didn't want to become a stumbling block to the development of China. Xi Zhikuan is a person with great pursuits, and he doesn't want the Xi family to camp for the sake of small profits.

The order he gave to his daughter was very simple, but even more brutal, either find a legitimate business to do, or come back to work and work, choose one of the two. For people who are accustomed to the freedom of the mall, how can they stand the constraints of the workplace?

"District Chief Liu, I knew that you were very young before, but after we met, we were still surprised."

"Sister Xi, you still call me Liu Feng, Xi Hao and I are not only colleagues, but also brothers. When you call me like that, do you remind my brother that the level is too low? ”

Xi Jie smiled, the little woman is shrewd, and even more delicate, she can see that Liu Feng is affectionate from the heart at this moment, not a face-to-face article. As a member of a political family, Xi Jie knows very well what her father wants to do, and how can she be eyed by her father if she cooperates with Liu Feng in business?

Dad cares more about this young little guy who has countless legends, and cares about intersecting with the circle behind him that has gradually become influential. This intersection can only start with Liu Feng, because it is a radiating network with Liu Feng as the center.

"I think so, I heard that Xiao Qiang and they all call you Lao Gada, and my brother-in-law will call you like this, is there no problem?"

Liu Feng looked at this brother-in-law who was simply born with the wrong skin with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, you are Xi Hao's brother-in-law, that is, my brother-in-law, what is your name." ”

Wu Meng's reserved smile made Liu Feng feel a little cold on his body, can you imagine that a strong man who looks like Li Kui is fierce Zhang Fei, but he squirms like a deep young woman? Wu Meng gave Liu Feng the feeling that this was the case, Liu Feng quickly shifted his gaze and looked at Xi Jie.

"Sister Xi," Liu Feng laughed, "Sister Xi's name is very interesting, I'll call you sister, or it seems that I'm rude." ”

Xi Jiejiao smiled: "My mother always complains about the old man, the name given to me is too special, I remember when I was in school, several teachers said that I was a junior." ”

"Sister Xi, I don't know which one you are more interested in the hotel industry or the supermarket industry?"

Wu Meng blinked his eyes wide, which made Liu Feng feel a chill: "I am more optimistic about the supermarket industry, and I have a great sense of accomplishment when I walk in the bustling flow of people." ”

Liu Feng was secretly amused, this brother-in-law seems to have a hobby of women going to the supermarket, and this is really a strange person.

Xi Jie nodded: "Mengzi and I are both optimistic about the supermarket, and I feel that the huge logistics system operates under our own control, which is indeed very fulfilling." ”

Is this the legendary woman singing her husband? Obviously, Xi Jie and Wu Meng are dominated by Xi Jie, but Wu Meng seems to enjoy the feeling of being in charge of this lady. Liu Feng couldn't help but sigh for Xi Zhikuan's vision, no wonder he didn't let his son-in-law mix with officialdom, just like that, he was a puppet in officialdom.

"Okay, since Sister Xi has made a choice, then I will ask Gale Trust and Investment Company to contact Sister Xi to discuss specific cooperation matters. Well, in this way, the start-up capital is tentatively set at one billion, and this investment is not treated as an injected share, it is considered an interest-free loan. ”

Xi Jie and Wu Meng both froze, but Xi Hao was the first to react, and he shook his head: "Old Gada, your favor is too great, my old man will not agree if he knows it." ”

Liu Feng said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Xi, this is the matter between Sister Xi and Gale Trust Investment Company, don't think about it so much." To put it bluntly, supermarkets are actually operating real estate, and without a huge flow of funds, it will not work at all. ”

Xi Jie's face turned red, and it took a long time before she let out a sigh: "Old Gada, my sister was frightened by you, and now I am beginning to wonder if you opened a bank." ”

Liu Feng was stunned: "Sister Xi's proposal is good, the younger brother really didn't think about it before, it seems that he will work hard in this direction in the future." ”

Xi Jie rolled her eyes, the person in front of her was really a freak, in his eyes, one billion could be used as funds for the construction of interpersonal networks. And banks, it seems, are no different from other industries in the eyes of this one.

Wu Meng bewitchingly put a sip of coffee into his mouth with a spoon, picked up the napkin at hand and wiped his mouth, and then said faintly: "Hmph, now I know that our so-called big business before, in the eyes of Lao Gada, is worse than a child's playhouse." ”

Liu Feng didn't dare to look at this superb brother-in-law, he was afraid that he would really get goosebumps all over the ground: "Sister Xi, you and your brother-in-law had better prepare as soon as possible and strive for the first supermarket to settle in Moscow." ”

Xi Jie, Wu Meng and Xi Hao were all stunned, and asked in unison, "Why Moscow?" ”

Liu Feng said firmly: "Because there is no international metropolis in this world that is as short of materials as Moscow." I think that in addition to weapons, there is no shortage of napkins there, and even the supply of napkins may not be abundant, and at present, Huaxia's light industrial products are the most abundant. ”

"Do you want a billion Chinese dollars to go to Moscow to engage in real estate?"

"I'm talking about dollars, and besides, running a supermarket in Moscow is different from running a supermarket in China, and we have to find a strong partner. I thought that the Soviets were the least trustworthy in the world, and that businessmen would be the first to fall victim to the slightest political disturbance. ”

The Xi siblings obviously haven't reacted from "I'm talking about dollars", Liu Feng said to himself: "Find the family or group with the most political potential to cooperate, send them dry shares, and then build a supermarket in Moscow as quickly as possible."

Well, strive to open four or six supermarkets in Moscow next year, all of which must form a scale and have appeal in the industry. The supermarkets all deal in Chinese goods, and we must fully control the two channels of supply and marketing, so that the Soviets can enjoy dividends. ”

"Old Gada, now the Soviet Union seems to be going back, right?"

"Hehe, in fact, from the moment Gorbachev began to sell "New Thinking", there was no turning back for the Soviet Union. Rest assured, the collapse of the USSR was unstoppable, and in its place, a completely capitalist state.

Our supermarket remembers that the goods must be purchased from the best, and they must not smash their own signboards. This is our first step into the world supermarket industry, where credibility and reputation are far more important than profit. ”

Xi Hao was stunned by Liu Feng's words: "District Mayor Liu, you, you are saying that the Soviet Union will collapse?" ”

"Yes, the current Soviet Union does not have a charismatic leader like Lenin, let alone an iron-fisted commander like Stalin, and it is only a matter of time before the empire falls apart. These are not things we need to consider, and it is better for Sister Xi to find someone with a military background in the Soviet Union to work with.

Everywhere, the saying that power comes out of the barrel of a gun is absolutely true. I think there are many people in Yanjing who have a good friendship with the Soviet Union, and such interpersonal relationships must be utilized. ”

Liu Feng is redundant to explain this, people like Xi Jie, Chen Shaohua, Huang Zhiyuan and even Hu Jiao, what they are best at is to give full play to the maximum effect of interpersonal networks. There are countless circles in Yanjing City, and in these circles, you use it for me, and I use it for you, which has become the norm.

It is precisely because of such a circle that these people can sway freely in some aspects and do things that ordinary people dare not think of. Reselling approvals is just a trivial matter among the many "achievements" of these people.

As in Moscow's current situation, those members who want to save the vast empire of the Soviet Union, what they want to do is, to put it bluntly, to break out of the circle and re-establish the glory and pride of the Soviets decades ago.

It's just that, as a member of the circle, it is really powerless to break free from the shackles on your body. Presumably, the members of the emergency committee did not want to use armed force to control the vital departments.

But for an empire that is surviving, government and military orders, everything is less realistic than interests. Liu Feng even doubted that if the circle of Yanjing City continued to expand, it would be like the Soviet Union and embark on a road of no return!

Xi Jie exhaled lightly and smiled at Liu Feng: "Old Gada's surprise to my sister is really too big, okay, when I go back, my sister will start to prepare an administrative team and rush to Moscow as soon as possible." ”

Liu Feng shook his head: "Sister Xi, that's too slow, we can go to the United States or Europe, choose a supermarket group, and buy it." This has two advantages, one is to shorten the time to enter Moscow, and the second and most important is to dilute the presence of red China.

At present, Moscow is worshipping and fanatical about the Western world, but on the contrary, there are too many taboos and precautions against China. Therefore, it is better for us to be the boss behind the scenes, let Westerners work for us, borrow their packaging, and make money for us. ”

Xi Jie nodded again and again: "Okay, just listen to you, Europe?" Saying that, Xi Jie looked at Wu Meng, "Husband, I'll leave the affairs of Europe to you." ”
