Located in the northeastern suburbs of the city, on the west bank of the Feiyuan Reservoir, the Jinxiuyuan community was once the most upscale residential area in Pingquan City. In the mid-90s of the last century, a 100-square-meter house was considered a large unit, but the smallest unit in Fairview Garden was 100 square meters, and the largest was 180. There are also more than 20 three-story single-family villas with front and back gardens. It is no exaggeration to say that the Jinxiuyuan community opened the curtain of the era of luxury houses in Pingquan City. Naturally, the first owners to move into the garden were either rich or noble, and at that time it was almost the most powerful and wealthy group in Hiraizumi. At that time, there was a popular joke that two people clashed on the street, and one party would dominate the other: What's the awe? Do you think you live in the Splendid Garden?

With the launch of more high-end real estate in Pingquan, the Splendid Garden has gradually faded out of the sight of the people, in addition to the unique geographical advantages of the mountain and the lake, the Splendid Garden has fallen behind, just like a once beautiful and amazing beauty, gradually entering the dull middle age. However, the housing prices in Fairview Garden are still high, and a second-hand house here can still be sold for the price of a new house in the city. What's with? Just enter the Splendid Garden and take a walk, just the staggering floor area ratio of the community will throw the later so-called luxury community out of eight streets. Not to mention the advantages of the lake. The so-called lakeside living in those communities is just a publicity stunt, but Fairview Garden is a real lakeside mansion, and it only takes ten minutes to walk from the east gate of the community to the lake. With a surface area of more than 30,000 acres, the Feiyuan Reservoir is like a bright pearl embedded in the northeastern suburbs of Pingquan, which is not only a water park for the citizens of Pingquan, but also the lifeline of Pingquan City, which mainly depends on this large reservoir built in the 50s.

On Monday night, a shiny black phaeton drove out of the south gate of the Fairview Garden, made a detour for several miles, and stopped under a weeping willow beside the shore of the lake. A pair of middle-aged men and women got out of the car and walked slowly along the dim path, the European-style street lamps far away from each other could not illuminate the cobblestone lakeside path, the middle-aged man and woman walked a little way and stood down, the man laid two white papers on a bench, and the two sat down facing the lake.

"Sister, I think this is an opportunity...... An opportunity to turn the direction of East Lake around. The man took out his cigarette and lit it, and the dark red cigarette butt flickered on and off.

"It's not as simple as you think...... It's hard to change what he's planning. The woman's voice was soft, "Shegang, what do you really think?" Tell me about it. ”

The woman who spoke was Wei Fengru, the wife of Tang Yikun, chairman of the board of directors of East Lake Industrial, and the man was Wei Shegang, Wei Fengru's brother and president of East Lake Mining Company. After meeting Tang Yikun at the headquarters of East Lake Industry in the afternoon, he came to meet his sister in the evening to discuss important matters.

Sure enough, Tang Yikun did not return to his home in Jinxiuyuan at night.

"Now Donghu is no longer three-legged, and it is barely said that two legs are reluctant. In the past five years, the funds have been greatly tilted to Qi Zhen's part. Tang Yiwei's East Lake Machinery was originally poor, so don't mention it. My mining company, in terms of profit and scale, can no longer be compared with the real estate company controlled by Qi Zhen. If the brother-in-law's strategic vision is realized, Donghu Industrial can be renamed Donghu Real Estate. Our voice on the board will be even weaker, for your sake, for the sake of the little day, I will not allow that to happen. ”

"I'm asking you for your specific thoughts."

"Isn't he going to facilitate the relocation of Red Star by strengthening his cooperation with Red Star? Well, we can unite with Tang Yi to do it. Recently, he wanted to talk to the senior management of Red Star, and recently Red Star has changed hands, and that person is also a child of Red Star, and he has some relationship with him. He wanted to throw a little sweetness to Red Star...... You know, Red Star has always wanted to expand its package with me. Before, I consciously suppressed Red Star for other reasons...... There are always two sides to everything, and that's what he taught me over and over again. The vitality of Red Star Company has increased, and the difficulty of Red Star's relocation has increased correspondingly. This is one of them. Second, I heard that Wang Yi was about to move, and after he left, eighty percent of Shangguan Hong would take office, and Pingquan's so-called "westward expansion strategy" was proposed by him, and the situation would be even more unfavorable to us. Third, Governor Xing told me at a symposium on private enterprises a few years ago that the rectification and integration of small and medium-sized coal mines should be deepened, and he hoped that Donghu Mining would seize this opportunity to become bigger and stronger, not just digging coal, but marching to depth and breadth. I have already mentioned to him that we should take advantage of this rare opportunity to take advantage of the situation and annex more of the small coal kilns that cannot survive, and occupy more resources. But he disagreed. Consider my proposed comprehensive development package unrealistic. In fact, East Lake's funds are trapped in Qi Zhen, always trying to break through the increasingly obvious predicament of real estate! How about the Emerald Garden? Did I say yes? Just drive around the city, count the concrete pegs, and you'll know that real estate has reached a dead end! How many migrants does Hiraizumi have? Ten years may not be able to digest it! I firmly believe that instead of going against the trend, it is better to change course. The way out of East Lake still depends on the mining industry, and now we must seize all opportunities to expand the strength of the mining industry, and try to eliminate all opportunities for Qi Zhen......"

"The urban construction plan was agreed by the province, even if Shangguan Hong is not promoted to secretary, it is not easy to overturn it, right? And, haven't you heard? A few days ago, when the CEO of Brilliant Group came to the province, he had agreed in principle to the relocation of Red Star Company. ”

"Easier said than done! What is the scale of the Red Star?! It's not like you haven't been. People are just giving the province a face. Anyway, people don't pay. The tens of thousands of family members of employees who have placed Red Star are definitely a big plate that the city can't receive, let alone others. Wei Shegang stepped on the cigarette butt, "Sister, the life or death of the red star has nothing to do with the grand purpose, we don't have to care." But the expansion of real estate means that our voice is weakened. And the strengthening of mining companies and machinery companies is in our favor, and this is the big picture at the moment. ”

"Tang Yiwei ......is unreliable," Wei Fengru sighed, "Moreover, the construction of Pingquan New Town is precisely an opportunity for East Lake." Do you think, even if Red Star is reversed to the development zone, it is impossible for the family to move there, right? How big is shantytown reconstruction? Not to mention the construction of a cultural city. I think he's pretty accurate......"

"The profits of shantytown renovation are not as good as affordable housing. And the battle line is too long, and we can't afford it. When I went to his office this afternoon, he was talking to President Wang of the Provincial Construction Bank. Probably the other party is urging tightly. Wouldn't it be too dangerous if we put all our eggs in one basket in Hiraizumi New Town? As for Tang Yiwei, this time and that time. The last board of directors broke up unhappily, and you can see Tang Yiwei's attitude, he has a great opinion of his brother-in-law. ”

Tang Yiwei is the younger brother of Tang Yikun, and like Wei Shegang, he is the founding father of East Lake, and is now in charge of a wide range of enterprises except mining and real estate. The year before last, Tang Yikun integrated all the enterprises under Donghu except for mining companies and real estate companies into Donghu Machinery and handed them over to Tang Yiwei to take care of. However, Donghu Machinery is facing serious business difficulties, and has actually become the burden of Donghu Industrial Group. Qi Zhen once suggested that the determination of a strong man to break his wrist should be used to clean up machinery companies, and to sell, close or bankrupt a number of enterprises with a bleak future. But at the last board meeting, Tang Yiwei was strongly opposed. Wei Fengru did not attend the board meeting, and she listened to Wei Shegang's report on the situation.

Wei Fengru nodded, she understood that Tang Yiwei's dissatisfaction came from the division of business within the group, and he was unwilling to take that piece of chicken ribs. Tang Yiwei has always wanted to be in charge of real estate, and once lobbied himself, thinking that Qi Zhen was an outsider and unreliable after all. But Wei Fengru felt that Tang Yiwei was even more unreliable, and his ability was even less than Qi Zhen's, so he naturally wouldn't help with this. Of course, she knows that even if she and Tang Yiwei stand together, I am afraid that they will not be able to change the current power structure, because Tang Yikun's vote is crucial. At present, it is not at all clear that Tang Yikun has any distrust of Qi Zhen.

"Don't talk about that. You can do it. I don't want to worry about business anymore. I ask you, how did I do what I told you? ”

"She lives in Yuehe District. I usually don't go out, I hired two nannies, and I suspect that one of them is a trained bodyguard. She never goes to headquarters, that's for sure. ”

"That kid, is it really his?"

"Of course. Brother-in-law is such a shrewd person, he can't be mistaken. Wei Shegang looked at his sister's blurred face suspiciously, "Sister, don't do anything foolish!" This is no joke! ”

"Where do you want to go?! You say she doesn't care about the company? But his new secretary, the one named Dai Xuedong, wasn't the woman's younger brother? ”

"It's cousin. The lad is very shrewd and capable, not like a waste. ”

"What I'm afraid of is being shrewd and capable. He certainly doesn't use waste. Wei Fengru's tone became stern, "You're not at the headquarters, do you know what he thinks about every day?" I don't believe the goblin would have no idea. Trick the devil to go. ”

"Sister, how many times have I told you that I want to open some. Actually, like my brother-in-law, it's not bad. Wei Shegang thought of himself, not much better than Tang Yikun.

"Don't tell me it's not nutritious! Without me and our family's financial support, could he Tang Yikun get to today's situation? He can raise small ones, but don't want to leave every penny of East Lake to that wild seed! ”

"How so? Aren't we planning ahead? When Xiaotian is older, I will arrange for him to work with me, practice his hands, and take over my brother-in-law's class. ”

"Shegang, I never want to say that he doesn't like Xiaotian."

"That's nonsense."

"It's not nonsense. He thought Xiaotian was weak and said that Xiaotian was not like him. ”

"The child will change, leave it to me, I'll take him." Wei Shegang lit another cigarette, "Sister, I also want to persuade you, don't be angry." The brother-in-law is at fault, but the mistake is common to those who have his status and wealth, and it is not a great thing in my opinion. He won't, and can't be, hand over the company to outsiders. In fact, there have been few rumors about him over the years. Don't be angry with him, this can only cheapen the woman surnamed Dai. You see, what good will it do you if he never comes back now? Sister, you're just too strong. ”

"Strong? I'm not strong, I'm too weak. Wei Fengru's tone was much more stern, "Shegang, I also warn you, don't go too far." ”

Wei Shegang avoided this embarrassing topic, "Sister, you still have to go to the headquarters often, you are still the second largest shareholder of the company." Always nesting at home, not good for the body. ”

"You're right." Wei Fengru nodded, "Shegang, I don't have any other ideas, take care of this stall, I'm not as good as him, and I'm not as good as you." But I will never allow the country we have worked so hard to build to be lost to outsiders. You give me a snack, don't make me sad. ”

"Don't worry. Regarding strengthening cooperation with Red Star, I hope you can talk to Tang Yiwei, you can talk better than me. ”

"Not necessarily. But I can say that. ”
