When it was time to get off work, Lin Dengshan and Chu Tianshu accompanied Yi Haitao to the newly built five-star hotel in the business circle along the Yangtze River - Century Holiday Hotel.

This hotel was originally planned and designed by Qingtian Real Estate, and after Qin Daming's accident, it was taken over by Wei Shijie of Century Sunshine, and the name was changed from the original Qingtian Holiday Hotel to Century Holiday Inn.

As soon as Yi Haitao's car arrived outside the hotel, a group of leaders and business owners from the Nanhu District and the Business Circle Headquarters who had been waiting for a long time surrounded him.

People who have been doing business in these years know that whether you are a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, you can't do without politics, you need the support of power, and you lack friends in the officialdom, this business will definitely not last long, and you will not make a lot of money.

Being an entrepreneur in China is actually very annoying. They are far from being as dashing as they are portrayed in luxury magazines. After many entrepreneurs had accidents, they defended themselves and said: "We only deal with officials who have aspirations."

Experts at the Entrepreneurs' Forum admonished: "Don't deal with power. ”

But in China, business is inseparable from officials, and officials are inseparable from business.

To take the simplest example, if a real estate developer does not deal with power, how can the more than 100 stamps representing power in the approval process be knocked down? Similarly, without the help of real estate developers, how would GDP skyrocket, which is a proxy for officials' political achievements? How can officials gain more power?

Some private entrepreneurs boil down the code of conduct of private enterprise bosses to three points: squatting to make money; Choose who to work with; Be valued.

You stand and earn money, and the gun shoots the first bird, and sooner or later it will kill you; You can't choose the wrong one to do it with, and if you choose the wrong one, it will be in vain, and sooner or later you will go bankrupt; The last one can be understood as that even if you fall into the Qinglou, you still need to have the heart of a virgin, otherwise, sooner or later you will be raped by power.

For entrepreneurs, whether or not to be tied to power is a necessary question, and it is impossible to answer incorrectly; And who to tie up with is a multiple-choice question, and if you answer it wrong, you will get into trouble, and you will get into a big deal.

Qin Daming is a living example!

Chinese entrepreneurs are the most tired entrepreneurs in the world, the survey shows that more than 41% of CEOs sleep less than 6 hours a day, and 68% of CEOs are in a sub-healthy state, which is closely related to the unhealthy environment of Chinese enterprises.

Power and money trading, tired.

There are too many administrative approvals, and it is tiring.

There are too many relationships to deal with, tired.

There are too many social and moral responsibilities, tired.

Should entrepreneurs stay away from politics and power?

Said should or shouldn't.

It is because China now needs entrepreneurs who do their duty!

I say no, because everything that happens in society is inseparable from entrepreneurs, and I can't hide from it. You don't care about politics and power, but politics and power come to you.

This is the living environment of Chinese entrepreneurs today.

Therefore, when Yi Haitao, the secretary of the municipal party committee, appeared in front of the entrepreneurs, how dare they not rush over to make a familiar face.

Of course, Wei Shijie is an exception, because he and Yi Haitao are already familiar with each other, and there is no need to squeeze in the crowd.

At the forefront are Lin Haifeng, secretary of the Nanhu District Party Committee, and Yan Zhiyong, the headquarters of the Yanjiang business circle.

Chu Tianshu got out of the car first, carefully opened the car door for Yi Haitao, and only closed the door after Yi Haitao came out, and followed behind him.

"Secretary Yi, hello!" Lin Haifeng stepped forward first to shake hands.

"Comrade Haifeng, Nanhu District is the FED business circle of our city, which has an important strategic position, and we must continue to contribute to the sustained and stable growth of Qingyuan's economy." When Yi Haitao walked into the Century Holiday Hotel, he said to Lin Haifeng, who was following behind him.

"Please rest assured that we will definitely come up with good economic growth measures, increase efforts to attract investment, and ensure the realization of the GDP growth target issued by the municipal party committee and municipal government." Hearing Yi Haitao say this, Lin Haifeng hurriedly expressed his determination.

In business, in business, in official.

Lin Haifeng is a descendant of Tang Yifu, and he is almost the only one who is subordinate to Tang Yifu on major issues of principle, and is striving to be added to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. On the scene, he must consciously safeguard the authority of the secretary of the municipal party committee. If you don't even know how to abide by the most basic rules of officialdom, you will be kicked out of the political arena a long time ago, and you will not be able to get into the position of secretary of the Nanhu District Party Committee at all.

Yi Haitao said: "Okay, it's good that you have this determination. I believe that the leading group of Nanhu District is a collective with combat effectiveness, and will certainly be able to complete this year's economic growth plan, and boldly put forward those that need the support of the city, as long as it is for the purpose of developing the economy and benefiting the people, the city will definitely vigorously support it. ”

This tone of speech was said to be for Lin Haifeng and other accompanying officials, but it was better for the entrepreneurs who participated in the sorority. With the strong support of the secretary of the municipal party committee, it is a manifestation of confidence for these business owners who have settled in Qingyuan.

Everyone gathered around Yi Haitao and entered the banquet hall.

To say that it is a friendship reception is just to borrow this fashionable expression.

In China, the cocktail party is basically a Chinese-style dinner.

There were more than a dozen tables in the whole hall, and when they saw Yi Haitao come in, everyone stood up at the same time, some people came over to say hello to Yi Haitao, while the other part of them estimated that they knew that they didn't come, just looked at the people who followed Yi Haitao and looked for familiar faces.

Yi Haitao smiled and shook hands with the entrepreneurs and greeted them.

The reception began, and according to the established procedure, Mayor Tang Yifu made a speech.

Tang Yifu spoke according to the script for about ten minutes.

After the end of the speech, Tang Yifu made a surprise attack and announced to everyone that let us welcome Secretary Yi to make an important speech with warm applause.

Before the words fell, applause erupted.

Only Lin Dengshan and Chu Tianshu were stunned.

Yi Haitao was pushed into plain sight, and he absolutely could not say that without this procedural arrangement, I was not prepared, and the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee did not prepare a speech for me, so I will not say this.

Lin Dengshan was anxious and uneasy, looking for Huang Rushan's figure in the crowd, but he was still shuttling among the entrepreneurs just now, and he had long disappeared at this time.

Chu Tianshu sneered slightly, and scolded secretly in his heart: Tang Yifu, you are too fucking despicable and shameless, as a mayor-level leader, this kind of unsightly little trick has also come out. If Yi Haitao doesn't even have the level to make an impromptu speech, then what kind of secretary of the municipal party committee should he be?

Sure enough, Yi Haitao was in an extremely unhappy mood, but it was impossible to show it on such an occasion, fortunately, he had been the executive deputy mayor and had experience in dealing with entrepreneurs, which was enough to deal with such a scene, and he walked on the podium to talk eloquently.

Yi Haitao first affirmed the achievements made by entrepreneurs for Qingyuan's economic construction, and then briefly expounded the ruling ideas and concepts of the new leadership group of Qingyuan City, and called on the entrepreneurs present to make suggestions and suggestions for promoting Qingyuan's economic development and make new and greater contributions to Qingyuan's early construction of a well-off society.

Yi Haitao's speech won bursts of applause.

The bright spotlight shines on his square face, the straight nose bridge, elegant lips and jaw, a pair of eyes full of courage, and condensed and solemn facial features, revealing an irresistible infectiousness.

At this time, Chu Tianshu's mobile phone vibrate.

took it out and saw that it was a message from Liang Yuxuan, and he said: Director Chu, I have arrived.

Chu Tianshu then remembered that after the meeting ended in the afternoon, Liang Yuxuan came to ask when the meeting with Yi Haitao could be arranged.

Chu Tianshu was busy supervising the issuance of the establishment of posts in the municipal government office, and the director of the establishment office was still worried about being misunderstood by Tang Yifu, and he still wanted to delay.

It's annoying here, and he was harassed by Liang Yuxuan, Chu Tianshu didn't have time to entangle with him more, thinking that Yi Haitao didn't arrange it at night, so he casually replied to him and said, at night, you wait for my news.

After finishing speaking, he went to Huang Rushan to coordinate the issuance procedures, and before the issuance, he had a grudge with Tang Yifu's secretary Pony, which made him very unhappy, and then he came up to attend the cocktail party, which was so busy and upset that he forgot about Liang Yuxuan.

Unexpectedly, Liang Yuxuan took it seriously, and without waiting for Chu Tianshu's news, he ran to the Qingyuan Hotel first and waited.

Chu Tianshu was not angry, so he replied to a message and said, Secretary Yi still has a banquet, you wait.

The cold outside was pressing, Liang Yuxuan was afraid of attracting people's eyes and ears, so he didn't dare to go far, let alone go in, so he had to hide in a secluded place, standing in the cold wind and stomping his feet, holding his hands, constantly looking at his mobile phone, freezing his nose and snot, and constantly smoking to keep warm.

Deserve! Chu Tianshu imagined Liang Yuxuan's tragic situation, and scolded angrily.

When Chu Tianshu put the phone back in his pocket, a waiter wearing a cheongsam came over and touched his arm.

Chu Tianshu raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

The little girl is very beautiful, and the two small dimples on the cheeks are cute.

I'm sorry! "Little Dimple" smiled and bowed slightly, and whispered, Mr. Wei is waiting for you outside. After speaking, he curled away without squinting.

Chu Tianshu was stunned for a moment, and then walked out of the banquet hall with the back of the "little dimple".

In a private room next to the banquet hall, Chu Tianshu saw the well-dressed Wei Shijie.

As soon as Wei Shijie saw Chu Tianshu, he said, Old Chu, they want to see Secretary Yi's jokes.

Chu Tianshu said, hmph, can they see it if they want to?

Wei Shijie said anxiously, Lao Chu, don't take it seriously, I heard them talking quietly, and I will besiege Secretary Yi at the wine table for a while.

Yes? Chu Tianshu was taken aback, he thought that Wei Shijie's "watching jokes" was referring to the matter of temporarily letting Yi Haitao speak, but he didn't expect Tang Yifu and they were going to calculate Yi Haitao at the wine table.

Yi Haitao's alcohol consumption is not too good, and he can only cope with the general scene if he lets go of the amount of drinking.

Chu Tianshu knew this very well, and he immediately reacted, Tang Yifu's sudden attack to make Yi Haitao speak was just a foreshadowing, he tried to spoil Yi Haitao's mood first, and then let Yi Haitao look foreign at the wine table in order to ruin Yi Haitao's public image.

Damn, Tang Yifu and these guys actually used such indiscriminate tricks, which is really despicable and shameless to the extreme.
