Chapter 36: Old Man
For the current society where ambiguity is popular, it is difficult to go to the sky, so Chen Ergou appreciates his godsister Chen Yuanshu's grasp of the distance more and more, and thinks of the two urgent things at hand that may be related to his future career, Chen Ergou said, "Sister, tell you two things, one is whether there is a chance to raise the role of a person in Jiangsu China Tobacco Technology R&D Center to a higher level, he was originally the director of Xuzhou Cigarette Factory, and after the merger, he disliked the power in his hands was weakened, I have investigated this man called Wang Quan, There is no big background in the family, but he is still a leader in the field of cigarettes in Jiangsu, and he has a bit of real ability. β
"Jiangsu Tobacco?" Chen Yuanshu frowned, and said: "Let me help you ask, my father has a secretary who is now mixing well, and he is in charge of that piece, and I don't know if it is used or not, and I have a classmate in the General Administration of Tobacco Monopoly who has a little power in his hands. β
Chen Ergou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, I'm not afraid of throwing money, I'm afraid that there is no way." β
Chen Yuanshu smiled: "I will do my best in this matter, I will depend on the situation, if it is not troublesome, you don't need to come forward, this is not a glorious thing, it involves a wide range of things, there will be sequelae, if you really want to spend a lot of money, I will definitely not pay out of my own pocket to do a big wrong, you should pay for it, I am not ambiguous, my sister and brother will settle the account." β
Chen Ergou nodded and said, "That's the reason, I like you." β
Chen Yuanshu smiled: "What is the second thing to shoot less sycophants and smoke bombs?" β
Chen Ergou paused for a moment and said: "There is a coal boss who wants to survive in this rectification, and now he has two ways to live, either he first signs a yin-yang agreement with the theme of the political axe to annex the coal mine in his hand, first mine the mine, how much can he earn, and then eat the surrounding small mines, to meet the requirements of Document 10, the former needs the political axe public relations strength, and the latter requires black and white to eat, sister, I only have that little resource left in the political axe I really can't take it, and I can also find some outlaws who are willing to work hard, My intuition tells me that if this thing is done, then even if I can't pass the dog ring and Zhu Yeqing, I won't have no way back. β
"Shanxi."
Chen Yuanshu was embarrassed: "That has to be influential in the central government, the government is good to do, but the network I have run over the years has not touched the core level, I am a woman, this age and experience, if you want to rely on your own efforts to work those provincial ministries and commissions to drive, it is not realistic, as for the relationship in the hands of the fathers, if it is not at a critical juncture, there is no reason to come forward. To put it mildly, a coal boss has several coal mines, if it weren't for you, he really wouldn't be in the eyes of the Chen family and me, floating life, I said this, can you understand? β
Chen Ergou smiled sincerely: "Sister, you should pay a little attention to the first thing, don't worry about the second thing, I'll break it myself, anyway, I'm a barefoot guy who wins is earned, and I don't lose if I lose." I can't stand and see a lot of lazy people lying around me, and I have to be complacent, and I have to run. β
For the last sentence, Chen Yuanshu didn't understand very much, Chen Ergou didn't explain, each separated with his own thoughts, Chen Ergou called Cao Pujia and said that he would go back later, and then drove straight to the villa of Old Man Qian, until now, Chen Ergou still has a very vague concept of big officials, whether it is the secretary of the municipal party committee or the county party committee, or even the secretary of the party committee of a school, in his mind, he is a very unbeatable official, that is the bad root cultivated by Zhangjiazhai and his student career, so every time he passes through this area, Chen Ergou was inevitably frightened, driving extremely slowly, for fear of bumping into an aunt and aunt, and even looking at the little children with snotty noses on the side of the road, he felt that they had a superior demeanor.
Cao Pujia also said that although Qian Zixiang is nominally a deputy provincial level, it is not worse than the provincial and ministerial level, and he is an emperor-style official like Wu Dun in Jiangsu, but these two local officials are not the same as the top of the provincial party committee in Guangdong Province earlier, introverted and low-key, at least the style of the scene is upright, and he does not leave a handle for political opponents, so he has a solid root in Jiangsu. For the role that is indeed better than himself, Chen Ergou is not jealous or jealous, he only hopes to learn from them the skills of dealing with people, because in Zhangjiazhai Chen Ergou uses facts to prove a truth, instead of standing in the distance and coveting something, it is better to do something in person, such as climbing the wall to see Widow Zhang's white and tender **, once bitten by a dog, climb a few more times, there is always a success.
Mr. Qian's villa is a provincial political axe allocation, some years, his building is full of mottled creepers, particularly eye-catching, park the car, Chen Ergou rang the doorbell, because there was a call before the notice, the little nanny from Jilin Province immediately opened the door, revealing a smiling face, and a pair of beautiful little tiger teeth, maybe all of them are because of the Northeast people, the villagers see the villagers She has a special impression of Chen Ergou, occasionally a few visits to visit her will be very diligent to serve tea and water, Mr. Qian has a son and a daughter, it is said that the son died in a car accident 9 years ago, The cause of death is still unknown, the daughter is a senior executive of Morgan Stanley's direct investment department, married to a foreign businessman and settled in the United States, so unlike those flourishing high-level families, this villa has been cold, but tonight is a bit special, because when Chen Ergou parked the car, he saw two cars with Hangzhou license plates outside, a Buick Enclavecx, and the latest Audi R8, Chen Ergou entered the door with curiosity, and found a very surprising thing, Old man Qian talked very happily with a couple of young men and women in the living room, the key is that Chen Ergou knows the moving girl, that is, the Cayenne girl who once used the modified Passat to outperform the high-speed, a rich and temperamental woman, Chen Ergou is silent, that woman may have not paid attention to this kind of nobody, and there is no change in expression, Old Man Qian beckoned Chen Ergou to sit down, and introduced with a smile: "Rong Rong, Xiao Chu, this is my godson, Chen Fusheng, about the same age as you, and he also knows how to drive, If you want to find a place to play, you can find him, Uncle Qian still said that safety first, as long as you are safe, you can make trouble, if something happens, call me, a word. β
The lonely Qian family is most willing to Chen Ergou to come to the door, not the little nanny with a strong northeast accent, but Huang Danqing, the spouse of the old man Qian, she sang Tsing Yi when she was young, famous in the southeast coast, famous in the division, countless suitors, somehow finally followed Qian Zixiang, although he was nearly fifty years old, but the maintenance is excellent, it can still be called charming, and it looks like he is in his forties. It can be seen that she is not too enthusiastic about the pair of young men and women in the living room, and after a polite greeting, she returned to the study, until the little nanny told her that Chen Ergou was coming, and then walked downstairs with a smile and dignity, holding Chen Ergou's hand and asking for warmth, the difference is obvious, the woman named Rong Rong looked calm, the young man next to her was a little unnatural on his face, and it was estimated that he was a little depressed, Chen Ergou chatted with Huang Danqing, who had a kind face, and tilted his gaze slightly, and just found that she also happened to project his gaze, and the eyes of the two flashed at the touch of a touch, The corners of each other's mouths are quietly upturned, and it is not easy to notice.
The old man Qian and Huang Danqing, who were far more thoughtful than Chen Ergou imagined, looked at each other and smiled, there was a play.
"Rong Rong, this time I came to Nanjing to stay for a few more days, to accompany you Aunt Huang, so that she always thinks that I am busy and has no time to go to Jiming Temple with her to eat vegetarian food, you take advantage of this time to accompany her to listen to Peking Opera and visit Xuanwu Lake, I also have clean ears." Old man Qian smiled, "If you feel that you are not used to living here, go to Purple Mountain Villa, where the environment is good, you can swim, the morning jog in the morning is good, the air is good, if you want to go out, you will find Fusheng, I will assign him to be a special driver for you, Rong Rong, this treatment is not bad, when you go back to Hangzhou, don't tell your father that Uncle Qian treats you badly." β
Chen Ergou found that when he said this, the old man's eyes had already drifted over him and another young man, and the deep meaning was self-evident.
"That's it, Rong Rong has been with me for the past two days, and no one is allowed to disturb me." Huang Danqing has been immersed in silver in officialdom with her husband for nearly 30 years, how can she not figure out the old man's thoughts, one look is enough for her to understand. She glanced at Brother Hangzhou Gongzi, who was still in the dark, and sneered in her heart, and then looked at Chen Ergou, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that her godson was the most comfortable to the eye.
"Uncle Qian, I still have to find a few classmates in Nanjing to play with at night, and I don't have to worry if Rong Rong lives here, so I'll go first." The young man with the light bulb evacuated the villa with a simple smile, seemingly without any complaints and the city government, but Chen Ergou sniffed out the resentment hidden behind the mask.
When he left, the old man looked at his wife Huang Danqing with a smile and said: "This child named Chu Yang seems to be dissatisfied with our old guy who sings double reeds, it can be seen that he is not stupid, but the heat is still a little worse, and the joy, anger, sorrow and joy are not revealed. β
Huang Danqing nodded, his body did not move at all, his sitting posture was graceful, his temperament was always classical and elegant, and he smiled: "That is, that child is too tender and not worthy of our Rong Rong, I think it is very good to be born, although the foundation is not big now, but Lao Qian is not also step by step from a grassroots clerk, and the hero is not afraid of his background." β
The woman's full name is Pei Rongrong, if she is a person with a certain vision in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang circles, when she sees her, she will subconsciously weigh her father's status first, but the old man Qian and her father can be called a lifelong friendship, so they will not come to this set, and this set will be omitted in front of Chen Ergou, the two old men believe that it is a matter of time before they discover her background and her own ability with the ability of their godson, in their opinion, it is best for this pair of children to get along together. Originally, the old man Qian was worried that they didn't look at each other, and at first glance, there seemed to be signs, and he had an idea in his heart, although he also knew that according to this situation, Chen Ergou would not be able to satisfy Lao Pei, who valued the most important person for ten or eight years, but he couldn't forget that he was planning things in the sky, and he took one step at a time, and the old man left the living room to the two women and asked Chen Ergou to follow him to the study.
The blue and white porcelain vase of the same height as the person, the huge splash ink painting, the atmosphere is magnificent, look at the decoration of a person's study, you can recognize his ambition, Chen Ergou has to admire the old man's vision, he specially understood the old man's climbing process, there are no big waves, but what is amazing is that almost every opportunity turns, the old man firmly grasps it, and it seems to be plain afterwards, put himself in his shoes, it is sabre-rattling and murderous, Chen Ergou stands respectfully next to the desk, and now the old man has let him sit casually, But he still chose to stand aside, and the old man was not reluctant to do so.
"That Chu Yang is the son of a boss of Zhejiang Greentown Group, and his grandfather's family is a little influential, but it is only limited to Wenzhou, not to mention his family background, and there is not much ink in his stomach, thinking that he can his tail by plating a layer of gold abroad, it is not worth mentioning, and he wants to pursue Pei Rongrong without knowing the height of the sky." The old man sat on the chair with his eyes closed, and his words were light.
Chen Ergou listened attentively.
"You are a family man, I will not want you to be Chen Shimei, not to mention how deep Pu Jia is behind I haven't inquired, I don't want to bother with this god, but I want you to know that people are just men and women, if you want to succeed, you must not deal with men, or deal with women, there can be no difference at one end, only when both ends are done smoothly can it be possible to soar, I believe you know this better than anyone else." Pei Rongrong, this woman is worth your investment, I will help you calculate the accounts, you can be an ordinary friend who eats and drinks, it is to earn 10 million, to be a friend who can sit together and talk about your career, it is to earn 100 million, if you have the ability to let her be your confidante, how much you can earn, it's hard to say. That's all I have to say, what to do in the future, and which part you can do, it depends on your own ability. The old man said lightly.
A smile tugged at the corner of Chen Ergou's mouth.
The old man noticed it, and muttered in his stomach: "Good boy, is it possible that you still want her to be your lover." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remind: "Fusheng, the Pei family has a good relationship with a person named Shantai duckweed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and your relationship with Pei Rongrong is best to be moderate, don't be self-defeating." β
Chen Fusheng smiled: "Old man, don't worry, I won't add to the snake." β
The old man who was almost in charge of life and death in Nanjing at the deputy provincial level nodded with satisfaction, spread out the rice paper, Chen Ergou immediately helped him grind, and the old man said impatiently: "I heard that I recently met a Shandong man, a coal boss in Shanxi, isn't it?" β
Chen Ergou was shocked and said: "Well, his name is Wu Liang, I want to do something in the coal mine through him, because I think that this Shanxi coal mine rectification will not only eliminate a large number of retail investors, but also give birth to one or several super coal bosses, so today I found Chen Yuanshu, and she said that she can't help with this, it's too tricky, it's for this I came to bother the old man today." β
"There are many people like him in Nanjing, and I ignore them."
The old man lifted his pen and said indifferently: "Because this kind of thing is too energy-consuming, it is not a matter that one or two people can make decisions in a part, and it is often thankless." β
Chen Ergou sighed in his heart, since he didn't even have a problem with the old man, this matter must be no fun, so he could only stand with Wu Liang.
The old man changed his words and wrote three cursive scripts, "Tianxingjian", strong and powerful, three points into the wood, raised his head and stared at Chen Ergou tightly, and said in a deep voice: "You have a good vision, this rectification will definitely give birth to a few super rich people who are destined to be at the top of the wealth list in the future, I calculated, it is about three to four, two of them are people who are determined, it is useless to tell you now, there are still two places that can be fought for, so now the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, intricate." It's just that I didn't fight for the head to break the blood, this is the reason why I am most reluctant to intervene, I am afraid of offending people and I don't know who has a grudge against me, since you have a heart, this time I will accompany you to gamble, pull half of Jiangsu Province to bet with you, win, all happy, lose will not hurt the muscles and bones. β
Chen Ergou was shocked, he definitely didn't expect that he would move his whole body with an unintentional move, and he could involve a huge province into his plan, and said softly: "Old man, if you are embarrassed, you can not wade into this troubled water." β
The old man smiled: "I haven't reached the point of being dizzy yet, I know which is more important, I'm only 54 years old, and I still have about seven or eight years of political age, I won't disrupt my own layout because of you, the policy is dead, and the person is alive, since I mentioned this stubble to you, I am determined to do this big thing, floating life, then I will give you a hard surname task, grasp Pei Rongrong in the palm of your hand, no matter what trick you use, whether you move with affection or know with reason, you must cultivate her as your ally, she has not been able to reflect energy in the past few years, and in another four or five years, You will understand her potential, when the time comes, it will be a critical period for this matter to blossom and bear fruit, she is not Chen Yuanshu, nor is she Fang Jie, for you, it is of great significance, the degree of grasp, it depends on yourself, whether you are playing with fire [***], or borrowing the ladder to get up, I hope you think twice, be cautious and prudent. β
"Walking on thin ice, step by step."
The old man wrote down eight words, this time not cursive, but in block letters, every stroke is meticulous, full and rigorous, but there is a kind of roughness that is about to come out.
Chen Ergou's palms were full of sweat, and he couldn't say whether he was nervous or excited.
"You do your part well, and I'll take care of the rest for you. The old man said slowly, his eyes were bright, no matter what age a man is, ambition is the best catalyst that can make them bloom with a strange style. The old man waited until his mood returned to a calm and peaceful state, and said seemingly casually: "You have heard about Luo Xiao of Xinyang Group, right?" β
Chen Ergou said softly: "A person who doesn't understand the Entu newspaper has to learn from mad dogs to bite people indiscriminately in order to protect himself, it is better to die clean." β
The old man didn't say much more, but he didn't hear it.
Xinyang Group is a star enterprise in Nanjing Xingang Development Zone, including Xinyang Group, and even Nanjing Chemical Industry Park and Jiangning Development Zone, including Xingang, are equivalent to the achievements created by the old man, among which Xinyang is one of the benchmark enterprises, and was vigorously supported by Nanjing City in the early years. Of course, there must be a mistake, the latest one is Xinyang, which suddenly collapsed under the financial crisis, everyone knows that Luo Xiao, the founder of Xinyang, is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the old man, without the old man, there will be no Luo Xiao and Xinyang, but I never thought that this Luo Xiao is also a bad seed who can only share wealth and prosperity and cannot share hardships, the capital chain is broken, after being shuanggui, without waiting for the old man to exert pressure to rescue, he said that he would recruit, and regardless of whether this is the old man's political enemies in trouble, Luo Xiao is too unreasonable, and the old man has no movement. Just when everyone was waiting for Luo Xiao, the white-eyed wolf, to break out the shocking scene, what they were waiting for was the black humor of this guy's death.
At this moment, the water came out, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief, although a Luo Xiao couldn't toss a big storm, but death before biting indiscriminately was always the best result, from beginning to end, the old man didn't interfere, didn't speak, he was clean, what his godson Chen Fusheng did, he put it in his heart, and still didn't leave any evidence. The old man sighed lightly and said: "It's hard to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, floating life, the human heart, when you think you can see through it, there will always be branches, you can't believe it." β
Chen Ergou stood quietly aside and said, "Old man, if you have a chance, tell me about your youth, I am particularly interested." β
The old man shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year. β
Chen Ergou continues to grind ink, can practice calligraphy and painting as a cultivation of the mind rather than vassal elegance to do, and persist for decades, that is a kind of admirable realm, this old man is not greedy for money, not good women, does not like to slap horses, but also taboo good achievements, be careful and cautious, Chen Ergou thought that he could defeat the old man Maybe only life.
"Fusheng, you go out to talk more with your godmother, and by the way, have a preliminary communication with Pei Rongrong, and strive to leave a good impression, she is a kind of woman, at first she has to be stewed with a simmer, and she will almost take it in one go." The old man waved his hand.
Chen Ergou left the study with a smile, the old man put down his pen, sat on a chair and looked out the window, and muttered, "Zhenglan, if you are still here, my grandson should be about to enter middle school." β
The old man stood up, opened the curtains, gray, the sky is still that sky, there is never an end in sight, for an old man who is about to be close to the age of the sixtieth year in a few years, no matter how prominent he is in the political circles, it seems that he can't survive the opponent's secret sentence "No matter how beautiful it is, there is no descendant to inherit it" Yin to the bone, the consistent stubbornness and perseverance make Qian Zixiang not cowardly even if he is alone, looking at the sky, his eyes are firm.
This old man who seems to be lonely in the eyes of many politicians in the provincial capital may want to let the whole of Jiangsu know that he has no Qian Zhenglan and Chen Fusheng!
