Chapter 861: Crisis, Ulterior Motives
Chapter 861 Crisis, with ulterior motives
"Mr. Chen, have you been busy lately? There's something I'd like to talk to you about. Xia Xiang's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but it had an unquestionable majesty.
Oh, Chen seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then, he said something that surprised Xia Xiang......
"If Mayor Xia came forward for Wang Qiangrose's matter, I can give you a clear answer, Wang Qiangrose's car was smashed, and it has nothing to do with me" Oh Chen's words were categorical and very simple, "Although my eldest brother is acting as an agent of Zhan Zhuqi, there is no need to resort to the next means, to tell the truth, Mayor Xia, the matter was done by Sato himself." β
A wave of anger suddenly rose in Xia Xiang's heart.
If it is Oh, it is better to say something, but if it is really Sato's doing, Sato is too arrogant, a Japanese still dares to do illegal things in China, and wants to bully Chinese at will?
The key is that the normal market order of Lang City can not be decided by a Japanese-funded enterprise, if the paint has been monopolized, how to rise domestic paint? It's okay to say if it's all under normal market competition, but Sato follows Oh Chen's example and secretly makes Xia Xiang secretly determined, and he must have a good meeting with Sato for a while.
Speaking of which, I always wanted to meet with Sato, but I couldn't make it for various reasons. And Sato is obviously very arrogant, he has never taken the initiative to contact him, he has direct contact with Gu Xiangguo in everything, and even within the scope of his responsibility, he has bypassed him and directly reported to Gu Xiangguo for instructions.
Xia Xiang doesn't have to fight for a breath, he wants the respect of the president of the Japanese side, what he wants is to restore normal market order, break the situation of occupying the monopoly of lacquer for many years, and give domestic lacquer a chance to develop and grow.
Langshi's Zhanzhu Paint Factory is the largest overseas branch of Zhanzhu Paint with the largest investment in China and the largest annual output, and the paint produced not only occupies the entire North China market, but also faces the whole country, with great sales. In the early days of investment in the country, the use of various means, whether it is official, or the strategy in the market, in short, everything is done to maintain the situation of a dominant family.
Industries involving the national economy and people's livelihood must be monopolized in order to work, but the paint industry is not a special industry, no need for monopoly and monopoly, it is time to occupy the paint knife, originally could not find the entry point, Sato is good, took abnormal means to destroy the market, really thought he could do what he wanted in Lang City?
When the opportunity comes, you can't miss it, Xia Xiang pondered for a moment, and said to Oh Chen: "Then please ask Mr. Chen to tell Mr. Sato, don't take it as an example." There will be a next time, at your own risk"
Xia Xiang was not polite, and his words were a little tougher.
Oh, Chen was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and only after a while did he say: "Mayor Xia, occupying lacquer is the biggest advantageous industry in Lang City at present, and it is too late for the municipal party committee and municipal government to protect it, so it can't self-destroy the Great Wall." β
Oh, out of his own considerations, Chen will inevitably speak from the position of Zhan Qi, and he also has a personal stake in his eldest brother, and he also knows that Xia Xiang's tone is not good, and he may have to take action against Zhan Qi.
As the executive vice mayor, although he is not the leader of the municipal government, he can also deal with a company, even a foreign company
"Local protectionism is actually the real self-destruction of the Great Wall." Xia Xiang didn't explain too much, just said one word, and hung up the phone.
When he got off work, he went out to eat with Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai, and as soon as he walked to the door, he was greeted by gold and silver jasmine.
Gold and silver jasmine each wear a thin windbreaker, in the early spring evening, like the goose yellow willows at the water's edge, blown by the cool spring breeze, swaying, intoxicating.
The wind of the willows is not cold, the wind of the willows, how can there be gold and silver jasmine dancing lightly? The wind blew away their hair, and the two of them raised their hands together to pull them together, revealing their smooth wrists that exuded a shocking sheen.
"Mayor Xia......" The first to speak was Silver Jasmine, her smile was a little reluctant, but her voice was tactful and pleasant, which was still refreshing, "My sister and I want to invite you to dinner alone, I don't know if you appreciate the light?" β
Individually? Xia Xiang didn't answer, but just glanced at Jin Yin Jasmine meaningfully, Jin Jasmine lowered her head slightly, couldn't help laughing, peeking at him, Silver Jasmine looked stubborn, forced a smile, and looked at him directly.
The sisters came forward, which one did they play? Xia didn't have to think about it to know, it was Oh Chen's idea, and he wanted to interview him, Oh Chen must still be worried that the occupation of the lacquer incident would trigger a series of chain reactions.
Oh, Chen, not only has economic interests in it, but also has political demands, and at the same time, he must have a deeper idea. Or it can be said that he is the role of Sato's spokesperson in Lang City.
The grand launch of the sister flowers came forward, oh Chen's attention to this matter made Xia Xiang can't help but be vigilant, could it be that behind the monopoly of the paint market, what else can not see the light of day?
After thinking for a moment, Xia Xiang smiled: "I have already made an appointment with Caiyuan and Hualai to have dinner together, and the two beauties will understand their intentions, next time." β
Silver Jasmine's face changed: "Mayor Xia, our sisters came forward to invite you together, you can't help but appreciate the ......" The implication is that their sisters are invincible in Lang City.
Jin Jasmine was more direct, blushing but boldly taking a step forward, ignoring the presence of Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai, grabbed Xia Xiang's arm, and said with a smile: "Mayor Xia, please, eat with us, okay?" We have a lot of questions for you...... If you don't go, I'll be very sad and maybe cry. β
Her eyes are really red, and she looks pitiful, like a girl in love who is not pampered.
Xia Xiang is also a person, although the wrist of Jin Jasmine in front of him is exciting, it is nothing more than a copy of the wrist of the Mucuna girl, and it is not even as natural as the wrist of the Mucuna girl, without traces. He didn't dodge either, but pointed at Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai with his hand, and smiled: "Those who are familiar with me know that Xia Xiang has never been a person who values sex and light friends. β
It made Jin Jasmine blush, so she let go of Xia Xiang's arm and ran to the side, blushing and no longer talking.
Seeing this scene, Silver Jasmine's heart suddenly beat a few times for some reason, because Xia Xiang's appearance just now was indeed not pretending, but not moved at all. In her impression, most men, whether they are high-ranking officials or rich people, when they see their sisters, let alone refuse, they can't wait to get close to them and offer them courtesy, can it be said that Xia Xiang is really a self-disciplined man?
She suddenly remembered something: "Okay, since Mayor Xia does have something, we will disturb." But last time I heard Aunt Yang say it, she seems to want to meet you too. β
If it weren't for the mention of Yang Bei, the meeting between Jinyin Jasmine and Xia Xiang today would not have left any waves in his heart...... Until Jin Yin Jasmine walked far away, Xia Xiang still stood in place with a slight distraction, uncertain.
Life is not seen, and it is like a participant. But if you really want to meet in life, you will meet everywhere in life.
What Xia Xiang didn't expect was that Yang Bei hadn't seen it yet, and the next day, Lian Ruohan came to Lang City unexpectedly, and it was a surprise attack, without saying hello in advance.
Lian Ruohan didn't come alone, she also brought Lian Xia.
Xia Xiang hasn't seen Lian Xia for a while, as his first son, he has the most complicated feelings for Lian Xia, and he misses him the most.
Lian Xia broke free from Xia Xiang's embrace and pointed at Lian Ruohan with his hand: "Kiss Mom, kiss Mom"
Xia Xiang was stunned, he understood the love between men and women at a young age, is this worth it? Unexpectedly, Lian Xia immediately said: "It's all on TV, Dad has a baby as soon as he kisses his mother, Dad kisses Mom quickly, Lian Xia wants a *** ......"
Xia Xiang was speechless, glared at Lian Ruohan, and Lian Ruohan still looked aggrieved: "I haven't had time to discipline him recently, so he has watched a lot of TV and been taught bad by TV dramas." It just so happens that the neighbor has a ***, so he plays with others and wants a sister. β
Lian Ruohan's eyes kept blinking, Xia Xiang understood that her heart was moved, and when she counted the date, it was really her dangerous period, could it be that Lian Ruohan was motherly again and wanted to have another daughter?
Xia Xiang hurriedly diverted the topic: "Are things in the United States done?" β
"Well, there's basically nothing to do with me." In the hotel room, Lian Ruohan was packing her luggage while talking to Xia Xiang, and when she bent over and turned around, the mature woman's breath exuded from her body made Xia Xiang addicted again.
A man, there are not many women who have the deepest affection in his life, and often the first one makes him the most unforgettable. Xia Xiang first fell in love with Cao Shumu, but the most tempting was Lian Ruohan, every time he thought about the first night in the International Building, he was still confused.
Lian Ruohan left him too many beautiful or warm memories.
And Wei Xin left him with a faint sadness and regret.
"How's Wei Xin's test results?" Xia Xiang retracted his thoughts and asked about Wei Xin's condition. Wei Xin went to the capital to check his body, and Lian Ruohan arranged a hospital, but after the results came out, the doctor did not announce it, saying that after the study, another review would be conducted in order to draw an accurate conclusion.
Xia Xiang's heart suddenly hung in the air.
"I don't know yet." Even Ruohan was worried, "I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that Wei Xin's situation is very strange, and it is difficult to be sure now, so it is better not to say it, so it is better not to increase the psychological burden for the patient." β
Xia Xiang sighed: "I hope she is safe and sound, she is not yet 30 years old......"
Even Ruohan also took pity on Wei Xin very much: "I will ask the best expert for consultation, and if the domestic technical strength is not up to it, I will take her abroad." β
Even Ruohan's American company has been successfully listed, she is now a veritable super invisible rich, in order to take care of her children, she basically resigned from the company, and only regularly participated in the board of directors, even if she has a lot of free time, it is no wonder that she has the idea of having a child again.
At night, Xia wanted to stay in the hotel, and finally waited for Lian Xia to sleep, and he and Lian Ruohan achieved a good thing. Even Ruohan's skin is like snow, slippery and pleasant, Xia Xiang will inevitably forget to return, and under the surging moment, he did not accept it, and all the essence was given.
After Xia Xiang was satisfied, he woke up suddenly: "Oh no, don't get pregnant again...... I wasn't ready to be a father again. β
Lian Ruohan deliberately pestered Xia Xiang to not let him down: "What's the harm in having another one?" I can afford it anyway. β
It's not that he can't afford to raise them, but Xia Xiang now has several children, and he really has a psychological problem that can't be passed.
Although he is in Lang City, very close to the capital, he and Xiao Jia do not meet much.
Daughter Xiao Xia is getting more and more beautiful, completely combining the advantages of Xiao Jia and Xia Xiang, and she has more beauty temperament than Mei Ting.
But because of his busy schedule and many affairs, Xia Xiang didn't go to the capital very often, and of course, before Ma Yangtian's downfall, he also took into account the issue of safety. It is mainly the battle between Oh and Chen at this stage, because the situation is complicated, the environment is sinister, and it involves a variety of entanglements in front of and behind the scenes, Xia Xiang doesn't want to make Xiao Jia a target because of his appearance.
lingered with Lian Ruohan for a while, and neither of them felt sleepy, so they began to talk. As she spoke, Lian Ruohan suddenly proposed that Wu Ruotian was ready to get involved in the paint industry, took a fancy to the geographical advantages of Lang City, and wanted to start a paint factory in Lang City.
Wu Ruotian is the son of Wu Caihe, 33 years old this year, and is currently the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, with the deputy department level.
Although the Wu family now has a Politburo member Wu Caiyang, and a ministerial-level Wu Caijiang, in addition, because the old man's influence is still there, many provincial and ministerial leaders are the old man's protΓ©gΓ©s, so the status of the first family of the Wu family is still well deserved.
The Wu family is now in full swing, but the crisis of the Wu family has appeared, because there is no successor among the three generations of the Wu family.
Wu Caijiang's children are still young and have no desire to enter politics. Wu Caiyang has only one daughter, Lian Ruohan, and Lian Ruohan is even more away from politics. Wu Caihe's son, Wu Ruotian, although he has always been in the officialdom, but under the protection of his parents, he only became the director of an unimportant department in the National Development and Reform Commission at the age of 33, and has no experience in local politics.
Not to mention Wu Caihe, who has been in an idle position and has long been marginalized. It can be seen that not as long as you have a background you have a bright future, you are not hard, and if someone helps you to get on a horse and send you a ride, you can't go far.
Wu Ruotian Xia thought that he had seen it before, at Qiu Xufeng's wedding ceremony, he and Wu Ruotian had a relationship, and he didn't talk much at that time, only vaguely remembered that Wu Ruotian looked melancholy and was not good at talking.
Why did you suddenly remember to enter the paint industry? Xia Xiang was also slightly surprised. It is not impossible to enter the paint industry, but the choice to open in Lang City is not only due to economic considerations, but also political factors.
What's more, he is still Wu Ruotian and the Wu family
Was it the old man's idea?
The Wu family does not only consider economic considerations, but also political considerations. Langshi is originally a place at the junction of three places, with superior geography and geopolitical importance, especially after the economic circle of the capital city is put on the agenda, the importance is even more prominent.
Wu Ruotian suddenly stretched out his hand to Lang City this time, and it is the most sensitive paint industry, it seems that it must have a deep meaning.
But whose handwriting it was, as Xia Xiang guessed, Lian Ruohan didn't know, she was only responsible for passing the word, so she wouldn't ask what tricks and articles were behind the incident. Most women are not interested in politics, even Ruohan.
Especially now, she really wants to have another daughter.
As a result, Xia Xiang had to work out a few times overnight.
The next day, as soon as Xia Xiang went to work, he received a call from Oh Chen, who officially invited Xia Xiang to the banquet, and he was the east, and Sato was also present at the banquet.
Sato reacted immediately when he heard the wind, and he was really an overly shrewd Japanese. Now that I know I'm panicking, what did I do earlier? Xia Xiang shook his head secretly, he hadn't released the rumor that he wanted to rectify the paint industry market in Lang City, Sato finally showed up a few months after he took office as executive vice mayor, and he didn't call in person, but he entrusted Oh Chen, and the shelf was still very big.
Xia Xiang rejected Oh Chen's invitation, saying that he was too busy recently and couldn't get out.
In the afternoon, an executive meeting of the government was convened.
Gu Xiangguo presided over the meeting and talked about two things, first, he emphasized that Zhanzhu lacquer is the pillar industry of Lang City, and no one is allowed to affect the sales and production of Zhanzhu lacquer for any reason and excuse, otherwise, he is a sinner in Lang City. Second, because of the construction of the university town, the Langshi East Development Zone is close to the suburbs, and the city government plans to plan a large overpass to alleviate the traffic pressure caused by the population surge.
As soon as the two proposals were thrown, the meeting burst into discussions.
It stands to reason that before the major proposal is put forward to the executive meeting, it is necessary for Gu Xiangguo to communicate with Xia Xiang in advance, after all, Xia Xiang, as the executive deputy mayor, has a great right to speak. But it was obvious that Gu Xiangguo deliberately ignored him and didn't greet him at all.
Xia wanted to see Shao Ding's face was determined, knowing that Shao Ding must have known in advance. Seeing that Wang Hao and Liu Xianshan were not much surprised, he understood a little more in his heart, and Gu Xiangguo once again wooed Wang Hao and Liu Xianshan.
The situation is once again tilting towards the country.
It is also understandable that Gu Xiangguo is the leader of the government after all, as long as he promises a little benefit, when there is no major difference, it is normal for the deputy mayor to tilt towards the mayor.
But what Xia Xiang was worried about was not the attitude of Wang Hao and Liu Xianshan, but Gu Xiangguo's proposal, which did not stand on an objective and fair position at all, nor did he think about the interests of Lang City
Taking a step back, even if what he said about maintaining the monopoly of Qi is understandable, but suddenly proposing to build a large overpass in the east, others may not know Gu Xiangguo's good intentions, but Xia Xiang knows his thoughts clearly
PS: There are brothers urging Lao He to return as soon as possible and return to normal speed, well, Lao He is also very anxious, and he also wants to speed up the code word speed with his brothers, but the opportunity to study in Lu Yuan is also very rare. One thing please rest assured, brothers, during this period, all the support Lao He will be kept in mind, and when he goes back, he will not only return to normal speed as soon as possible, but also strive for continuous outbreaks to repay everyone
The course is very tight these days, plus the code words are very late every day, it is inevitable that the energy is low, there are typos or not very smooth places, brothers, be considerate.
There are few updates, so I'm embarrassed to ask for a monthly pass, but I also ask the brothers to leave a few more monthly passes for Lao He, and look at next week, when Lao He is working hard, please vigorously smash the monthly pass to support Of course, it's best to give a few now, it's too bleak, thank you.
