Chapter 727: Heading to Ice City
Meng Fan and Ouyang Fengyi's second battle ended with a complete victory for the man.
Later, Meng Fan had a meal with the entire Ouyang family, and the meal was naturally happy, of course, the old man did not attend. He still had some resentment in the face of Meng Fan in his heart, so naturally he would not give Meng Fan face.
"This is the construction that Old Man Ouyang gave you?" Chief One asked.
After Meng Fan left Ouyang's house, he immediately contacted Fei Yuqing, hoping to meet the No. 1 leader. The No. 1 leader gave Meng Fan an address, and when Meng Fan came here, he found that it was an old alley, and there was an old tavern at the end of the alley.
"That's right, this is his Jianyì, what do you think, chief?" Meng Fan asked.
The environment here is very nice, although it is a little old-fashioned, but the wine is very strong. It's clear that Chief One loves it here.
"What do you think personally?" Chief One asked.
"Personally, I think it can be considered, the development of the old industrial base in Northeast China has not improved in recent years, if you can inject blood into them, it would be the best." Meng Fan said.
The No. 1 leader gave Meng Fan a glass of wine and said, "Come and have a drink, this is good wine, I haven't drunk it for several years, Xiaoyue won't let me drink it, thanks to your prescription, I can satisfy my cravings again." β
Meng Fan was a little flattered, and the No. 1 leader personally poured wine for himself, which was enough to save face. But he was a little puzzled, and the chief did not answer positively whether the Northeast was suitable.
"Wow, it's spicy." Meng Fan took a sip and felt very choked.
"This is ginseng wine in the Northeast, and it must not be very much." "This wine is good, but if the drinker can't stand it, it will backfire." β
Meng Fan's heart moved, and sure enough, the chief began to prepare to mention this matter.
"Chief, do you think the Northeast is inappropriate?" Meng Fan said.
"Whether it is the history of industrial development or the infrastructure, the Northeast is the best choice. However, the situation in the Northeast is very unclear, there is no absolutely strong right to speak, and the local forces are very strong, and the gangs are very strict. I have parachuted several young and promising leaders in the past, but they can't open the situation. β
Meng Fan was silent, he didn't understand the things of officialdom very well, but similar situations often occur in the company.
If one of the interest groups in the company is too strong, it is not good for the company. Because this often overrides the power of the No. 1 person, which has a negative impact on the operation of the company.
This is the case in the Northeast. Almost every family has a voice in the Northeast, and they have cultivated some local forces, resulting in the great suppression of outsiders. Those of the local forces usually fight each other, but in the face of outsiders, they are very united.
If Meng Fan wants to establish a company in the Northeast, how to deal with local forces is the primary problem, and if it is not handled well, it will be difficult to move an inch.
"Not only that, but there are still many people in Tsarist Russia in the northeast, and the power they have formed cannot be underestimated, and they are very involved in officialdom." Chief One said, "Wouldn't it be better for you to choose a stable environment to set up your company?" If you want to establish the company in Longjiang or Zhonghai, I can help you, but in the Northeast, I can't directly intervene. β
Meng Fan waved his hand and said, "It's too early to draw conclusions. I want to go to the Northeast to investigate, if it's really not suitable, I'll come back as soon as it's a big deal, there's no shame in it. Moreover, since the Northeast is so chaotic, I went to the Northeast this time to give some people some opportunities to jump out. β
"You stinky boy, I knew you had such plans." The No. 1 leader scolded with a smile, "Come, let's have a drink, it's a send-off for you." As long as nothing big happens, I'll take it for you here, whatever you want. β
"Hehe, chief, won't you give me a little self-defense?" Meng Fan said with a smile, "Although the name of the Huaxia Inspection Group is big enough, after all, it is only in charge of discipline or something, if you really want economic construction, it is still far away." β
"I know you kid slippery, I've got it ready for you." Chief No. 1 took out a red ID that read, 'Head of the Research Group of the China Development and Reform Commission'.
"With this certificate, you can put forward your own opinions on the economy of the entire Northeast, and those officials dare not give you face when they see you." "If you don't get me something back, I'll lock you up then." β
Meng Fan nodded, he knew that when the chief said this, he was actually supporting him.
Two days later, Meng Fan appeared at the Northeast Ice City Airport.
Meng Fan's departure was not a secret, and various government officials in the entire imperial capital celebrated with their crowns and held various celebration banquets. The troublesome fellow finally left, and they finally had a drink to drink and a meal to eat.
The situation in the Northeast was already very delicate, and the news that Meng Fan went to the Northeast to investigate was like a bomb, setting off a thousand waves. Everyone thinks differently. Some people are very hostile to Meng Fan's arrival, and some people want to do something with the help of this east wind.
The imperial capital, the Jiang family.
"Father, this is an opportunity for us. The Northeast is so chaotic, if he can't come back, no one can blame him. It was Jiang Zilong who spoke who had repeatedly suffered losses in Meng Fan's hands.
Jiang Zhentao nodded: "Of course. But you are not allowed to go anywhere, and you must leave me at home in peace. Our Jiang family can't interfere in this matter, what should be done still needs to be considered in the long run. β
"Father, isn't it easy? I have several friends in Tsarist Russia in the Northeast, and they are all ruthless characters. Jiang Zilong said proudly, "As long as I give me some sweetness, they can guarantee that Meng Fan will not come back." β
"This method is not bad, and when the time comes, the responsibility will be pushed, and we have nothing to do with half a dime." Jiang Zhentao said, "Your sister has been in the Northeast for a long time, and she should also train and train soldiers." β
"Isn't it? Just a Meng Fan, do you still need a sister to go out? Jiang Zilong said disdainfully, "I let a few people from the Tsarist Russian mafia kill him." β
"It's not difficult to kill Meng Fan, the key is to let your sister enter the sight of those old-timers and let them see your sister's strength." Jiang Zhentao said: "You guy is not a big deal, in the future, the Jiang family can only be made by your sister as the pillar, and this Meng Fan can be regarded as a test." β
Jiang Zilong touched his head. Although he is very arrogant in the capital and doesn't give anyone face, he has always been very obedient in front of his sister, because he knows that his sister's strength is very terrifying.
Meng Fan didn't know that in the eyes of the Jiang family, he was just a test, and as soon as he stepped off the plane, he felt a cold air rushing into his body.
"Sure enough, it's Ice City, and I'm feeling cold all over now." Meng Fan gasped and secretly urged the coiling dragon to decide.
The martial arts he himself cultivates is the fire attribute, and he is a natural master of cold protection, so this cold qi is naturally nothing to him.
"Mr. Meng." Not far away, an Audi sedan was parked, and out of the sedan came a middle-aged man in an overcoat, who looked to be in his early thirties.
He walked over and said to Meng Fan very enthusiastically: "Hello, I am Luo Hong, the secretary of Bingcheng, and you are welcome to come and guide the work. β
Luo Hong knew that Meng Fan was coming this time, so he waited here very early, and he didn't bring the driver and secretary, it was purely a private meeting.
Meng Fan looked at the other party and recalled some relevant information in his heart.
Luo Hong can also be regarded as a rising star in the political circles, and he is a doer who has worked from the grassroots level, and was sent to Bingcheng as a secretary a year ago.
As an airborne faction, he was squeezed by the localists everywhere, and his situation was not good.
And Meng Fan knew that his arrival was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the other party, which was also the reason why the other party came to greet him in person.
"Secretary Luo, you are so polite, why did you come by yourself?" Meng Fan and Luo Hong shook hands.
"It's all my own people, so it's not polite." Luo Hong said, "Let's go find a place to eat first." I know all about the location you came to Ice City, and I will do my best to help you. β
This sentence has a subtext, I will do my best to help you, but it does not mean that I can help you.
Meng Fan is not the kind of person who doesn't understand things, the other party extended an olive branch to him, and he just needs the help of the local government, so it's always right to make a friend.
"Okay, since you are the master, then listen to you." Meng Fan said with a smile.
Luo Hong took Meng Fan to a very ordinary hotel for dinner, which was not luxurious, but it would not fall off the shelf.
In fact, the officials who come from the capital are usually very big, and these local officials often invite those feudal officials to eat at the highest-star hotels.
But Luo Hong has studied Meng Fan's information and knows that the other party has a lot of money and experience, and his personality is not like that of a person in the officialdom, and he is not so particular.
So Luo Hong chose a very distinctive restaurant with the taste of traditional Chinese medicine, which can be regarded as his favorite.
"The smell of Chinese medicine is very strong." As soon as Meng Fan entered, he smelled the smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
Luo Hong said: "Although this hotel is not a five-star hotel, the soup and meat here are very good, and the medicinal materials are dug up from the Xing'an Mountains. β
Luo Hong had already ordered three dishes in advance, and he could eat them directly as soon as he came in, and at the same time, he also kept a few dishes for Meng Fan to order. This can not only alleviate the embarrassment of people arriving but the food has not yet arrived, but also allow Meng Fan to order the food in person to give enough face.
"Okay, let's eat these three dishes, it's not enough to order more, I've always been very casual." Meng Fan said, "As long as you can eat, there is not so much exquisiteness." β
Next, the two had a good meal and chatted happily. Luo Hong didn't mention other things, just said some local things and gossip in Bingcheng.
Meng Fan felt that although Luo Hong was a bit too sophisticated and could calculate everything clearly, he was a good collaborator. If a person can mix in officialdom, it is not possible to be sophisticated.
Just as the two were chatting, the door was pushed open. Then several men walked in, led by a middle-aged man with a beer belly, who was a little older than Luo Hong.
