Chapter 270: Moths to the Fire
See the fastest updates
PS: The first update, the countdown sprint in the last two days, I sincerely hope that you will give you monthly pass support!
Wenhai, the third largest city in Dong Giang Province, is located in the southeast of the province, bordering the East China Sea, and is a typical coastal port city.
However, Wenhai is quite scarce in resources, and the reason why it has attracted the attention of the world is because the private economy here is quite developed.
Before the reform, Wenhai was a veritable poor mountain and bad water, the air was full of poverty and famine, but after the full opening up, the speed of Wenhai's private economic development was eye-catching, and the economic index rose rapidly without using much national resources and policy support, as for Wenhai merchants, they were widely known as the Jews of the East!
These Wen businessmen are all over the world, they are shrewd, sleek, adventurous, and will endure hardships, and gradually become famous in the economic arena of the world, some overseas media claim that Wenhai people's keen sense of business smell, so that they can always take the lead in grasping business opportunities.
After Ning Lizhong came to Wenhai City, accompanied by the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, he successively visited major enterprises and communities in Wenhai.
Among them, Ning Lizhong focused on the leather industry that had just been hit hard, although most of the people in charge of those enterprises were cautious in their words and deeds, but Chen Mingyuan could see that they were very resistant to Ning Lizhong, after all, it was the secretary of the provincial party committee who burned the signboard of the entire Wenhai leather industry.
Ning Lizhong didn't say much, and after guiding some rectification and improvement measures, he returned to the hotel.
"After visiting for two days, what do you think of the city?"
After sending everyone away, Ning Lizhong sat on the sofa and quietly sipped tea and asked casually.
Chen Mingyuan thought for a while, and said concisely: "It reminds me of an old saying, poor mountains and bad waters are more troublesome people!"
Ning Lizhong smiled dumbly: "Let's talk about it." ”
"It's not that the people here are bad, it's just that through the observation of the past two days, the biggest feeling I have in this city is that the people here are far more obsessed with money than they imagined, and they dare to try anything in order to make money."
As he spoke, Chen Mingyuan remembered the experience of visiting a family.
A family of four, the husband went out to pull goods, the wife and two children were crammed into a cramped and dilapidated house, every day from morning to night, mechanically handmade clothing signs, at that time Ning Lizhong asked how much you could get by making a sign, and the woman who only had a primary school education replied that it was one point.
At first, Chen Mingyuan thought that they were poor households and sold cheap labor for their livelihood, but later the village party secretary said in a very relaxed tone that their family's savings were at least 100,000 yuan, and it was said that if they had saved 200,000 yuan, they would go to the contractor farm.
Hearing this, the officials of the provincial party committee, including Chen Mingyuan, smacked their tongues one after another.
"It's almost to the point."
Ning Lizhong put down the teacup and said slowly: "You should have heard of the Wenhai model, Wenhai people in order to make money, hard-working characteristics can be called second to none, back then this was a poor and remote area, with few resources, little arable land, and poor infrastructure, but it is such a poor and white place, and a large number of Oriental Jews have come out. ”
Chen Mingyuan nodded, and the puppy economy mentioned by Fan Yunxi was about the same.
"However, there are also many problems with this model, such as those shoddy leather shoes are an example." Ning Lizhong sighed and said: "People, if you want to hope for a while, if you don't control and guide, it is often easy to go to extremes, many Wenhai people are eager for quick success, manufacturing fake and shoddy products, to deceive the market to make huge profits, the result is to lose the market, if the government does not strengthen market regulation and control, standardize market behavior, I am afraid that to the worst, Wenhai people's national entrepreneurship may be transformed into national unemployment." ”
Chen Mingyuan was silent, Ning Lizhong probably already knew the hidden dangers of Wenhai's economy, so he made up his mind to burn those leather shoes, hoping to take this opportunity to let Wenhai people move towards the road of reshaping their image, "However, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
"It's not easy, you have to know that the people here have hardly tasted the benefits of the country's policies before they made their fortunes, and they all relied on their own hard work, and even the airport was newly built by their private fundraising." Ning Lizhong pointed out the key: "Because of these factors, the people here are full of distrust of the government itself, they only believe in two things, one is themselves, the other is money, as for public power, if it can be used to make money, I am afraid they will also be interested." ”
Suddenly, he said meaningfully: "Do you know why I have rarely touched on the question of Wen Hai since I took office?"
Chen Mingyuan knew the way, but he couldn't say it.
The lack of public power and the greed of private capital must have made Wenhai contain too many dark interests, which have long been deeply rooted, and are far from being able to be solved once and for all by promulgating a few reforms.
Ning Lizhong probably intervened rashly because of scruples, not only did it not help, but also might be counterattacked, so he put the problem on hold.
Immediately, I heard Ning Lizhong sigh leisurely, and said: "I don't have much time to stay here, and some problems can only be handed over to my successor, I hope the situation here can be improved in the future." ”
Tuk-tuk
There was a knock on the door, and Chen Mingyuan walked over and looked out from the cat's eye, a waitress in a red uniform.
Chen Mingyuan opened the door and asked, "Something?"
The waitress looked around, then quickly took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Chen Mingyuan, stammering: "Yes, someone else entrusted me to you." ”
Chen Mingyuan glanced at her badge and took it, and the waitress immediately left quickly.
Chen Mingyuan took the letter back to the living room of the suite, opened the letter, and glanced at it, as expected, it was a report letter.
Ning Lizhong bowed his head and said, "What did you say?"
Chen Mingyuan quickly glanced at it and said: "It is to report the high-level corruption of Wengang Company, and several pieces of criminal evidence are listed, and the whistleblower is unknown. ”
As he spoke, he handed the letter over.
Ning Lizhong glanced at it a few times, then put it aside, rubbed his temples, and said, "You directly transfer it to the Supervision Department for verification and supervision." ”
Chen Mingyuan was slightly surprised, groaned, and said: "It is rumored that Wengang Company wants to transform its shares and prepare for ......listing."
Ning Lizhong waved his hand and sighed: "The water in Wengang Company is very deep. The look flashed a little solemn.
Asked in an instant, Chen Mingyuan faintly noticed something, and before he had time to think deeply, the mobile phone in his pocket buzzed and vibrate, glanced at the number, and informed Ning Lizhong, so he went out to answer the phone, and a delicate and pleasant female voice came, "Hey, Secretary Chen, I'm He Li." ”
When night falls, street lamps hang high and traffic rushes. Pieces of glittering neon, like starry high-rise buildings, outline the bustling night scene of Wenhai City.
Chen Mingyuan's gaze withdrew from the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at He Li in front of him wearing a champagne-colored sundress, with apricot eyes and a smile, long hair scattered over snow-white shoulders, and a delicate diamond necklace around his neck, which became more and more charming and moving
Chen Mingyuan just smiled: "When you left Jinling, you didn't go back to Qiantang, and even Wang Jiansheng didn't know your whereabouts, I thought you had evaporated from the world." ”
He Li giggled: "I'm afraid I thought that I had offended some kind of fairy again, and I was tied into a sack and thrown into the sea." ”
Chen Mingyuan smiled and didn't answer.
He Li sighed and said, "I suffered such a big loss in Jinling last time, and I felt physically and mentally tired, so I simply went back to my hometown to recuperate." ”
"It turns out that you are also from Wenhai." Chen Mingyuan quipped: "I should have thought that you dare to take such a risk in order to make money, which is quite in line with the standards of Wen Shang."
"
"What Wen Shang, don't make fun of me." He Li chuckled: "A real Wen businessman, the minimum standard must also have hundreds of millions of assets, I am just a small shrimp at best." ”
At this time, the door opened, and the waiter successively brought dishes such as abalone and cucumber wings, and then sent a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite, He Li said: "Although you eat openly, although you have been nervous recently, you still have a small amount of money for a meal." ”
Chen Mingyuan said: "I won't drink the wine, there may be something to do at night." ”
He Li was not reluctant, asked the waiter to bring another glass of soda, poured herself a glass of red wine, and took a big sip.
Chen Mingyuan asked, "It's been a lot of pressure lately?"
He Li's cheeks gave birth to two clusters of red glow, and she dragged her cheeks and smiled bitterly: "A little, no way, it's always not easy to run around for a living." He asked again: "You accompanied Ning Shujian to inspect this trip, when will you go back?" ”
Chen Mingyuan took two mouthfuls of food and said, "The scheduled itinerary is to leave the day after tomorrow, do you have something?"
He Li was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "There are rumors that Wengang Company is about to go public?"
The movement of Chen Mingyuan's hand stopped.
He Li hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to keep it secret, but this matter has already been heard in Wenhai, and a friend of mine is intended, so I want to listen to the tone of the province, and then consider whether to take a share." ”
Chen Mingyuan said with a smile: "Then you are asking the wrong person, these things, I know the news of Lu Dao, I'm afraid I don't have your knowledge." ”
He Li nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and said with a wry smile: "In fact, many people can't see this situation clearly, obviously the news of the listing has spread widely, and even the leaders of Wengang Company have acquiesced, but the provincial party committee and provincial government have been secret, tickling people's hearts." ”
"The most puzzling thing is that Wengang Company was supported by Ji Mingtang at the beginning, but he didn't even make a statement."
Chen Mingyuan said with a smile: "Such a large industry to be listed, it is definitely not a few days' work, the early asset evaluation, share transformation, issuance declaration, everything has to go through repeated arguments and discussions by relevant institutions, and you have to pass the provincial party committee and the State Council/Yuan, you are not ignorant of our country's bureaucratic style." ”
"With the strength of Wengang Company, if it is listed, the prospects should be very good, if the situation is really true, you can consider buying some original shares for investment, I dare not guarantee that you can get rich overnight, but you can be a rich woman."
He Li picked up the wine glass, shook it at him, and said with a smile: "I accept your auspicious words, but if there is really any inside information, please also ask Secretary Chen to take care of the little girl."
"
"Definitely."
Chen Mingyuan smiled and took a sip of sour water.
After going downstairs, He Li invited Chen Mingyuan to sit at her house again, Chen Mingyuan naturally excused himself, and watched her get in the car and leave, his face turned cold.
This He Li is too clever to be self-conscious, don't you know that moths to fire can only be the result of self-destruction. (To be continued)
