“…… I still buy so many clothes, I can't put them in the closet, I just sent a box to Aunt Zhang the day before yesterday, and besides, this is colorful, can I wear it? ”

"Mom, these are bought by the eldest sister, these sets are brought to you by Jiahui's grandmother, these two are from the second sister, I bought them for you and grandma in that box, the color is very plain, and it is accurate."

As soon as he entered the house, Xia Yao hurriedly opened the trolley box and gave New Year's gifts to his grandmother and mother-in-law. The old lady smiled from ear to ear, and in the face of two large boxes of clothes, shoes and socks, Wu Xiulan kept complaining.

Ding Aiguo, Gu Hongxia, uncle and aunt all came, plus Bai Xiaoyan, an old classmate, and the already small living room suddenly became overcrowded. Li Xiaoshan, who was on the south coast with Xia Yao, as well as the four bodyguards of Jan Joseph, Magdalena, Lian Plaintiff and Gao Yang, simply stood outside and enjoyed the river view.

After saying hello to the mayor's daughter, Ding Aiguo turned around and said with a smile: "San'er, Zhang Bing and Xiaozhu will be here soon, and the hotel is also booked. ”

With so many people, the family will definitely not be able to sit down, and Wu Xiulan said clearly that the few dishes made in the kitchen are all prepared for the two most important people in the Zhang family now, the old lady and Xia Yao.

The charter glanced sideways at Li Xiaoshan and the others outside, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "The seamen's club is no stranger, but I have been standing outside since I was back, and I have never been inside, so I don't know what it is like inside." ”

As soon as she mentioned the past, Gu Hongxia sighed with emotion: "Time flies so fast, San'er." Auntie, you were still a half-sized boy when you left. Now they're all married. Think about it like it was yesterday. Mother Xing Qianli was worried, when you and Wenming, Zhang Bing, Xiaozhu, and Xiaojun just left, your mother and I didn't know how worried we were, we cried many times, and we couldn't sleep all night. ”

"It's the New Year, just say this!"

Ding Aiguo complained, then took out a cigarette and said: "Shikang has a meeting in the provincial capital, and your Aunt Ge and her unit organize study." I won't be able to come for a while, but you just called before you got home, and let me tell you. ”

The charter shook his head and said, "I just saw it a few years ago, so I don't need to be so troublesome." ”

"That's what I said."

Ding Aiguo smiled and said enviously: "At most, the two of them will work for another half a year, and the internal withdrawal procedures will be handed in, and after the approval is completed, they will discuss the marriage between Changhe and Xiaolian, one is ready to hold his grandson, and the other will go over to help your second uncle." I heard that the business cards are all printed, what...... What the...... General Manager of Hong Kong Victoria Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd. Sounds pretty foreign. ”

The second uncle's renovation business is getting bigger and bigger, under the care of the provincial second construction and a group of Hong Kong bosses. It has become the decoration company with the best business, the largest scale and the largest construction team in the Special Economic Zone.

Joint ventures can enjoy tax incentives that state-owned enterprises and private enterprises do not have, and my cousin Wu Xiaolian has just set up investment immigration, so of course she must take advantage of this condition and turn it into a wholly-owned enterprise in Hong Kong.

He was not ignorant of this matter, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Victorian Decoration Company is just a company of the second uncle. In addition, there is also a Mona Lisa furniture company, and after the Chinese company has inspected the investment environment in Nanbin, he also plans to build a branch factory in his hometown. Uncle Ding, uncle, if you are idle, you will be idle, or you will join together. ”

"Interlaced lines are like mountains, and I'm not a carpenter, and I don't know how to decorate, so I won't mix blindly."

Ding Aiguo glanced at Bai Xiaoyan, who was looking at them with a smile on the other side, and said with a smug smile: "Besides, I'm not idle, Mayor Bai just made a letter of appointment, and I am now a member of the Advisory Committee of the Nanbin Municipal People's Government and an advisor to the Nanbin Municipal People's Government. ”

The charter was happy, and couldn't help but look back and say, "Old classmate, your dad has dug too much in this corner." ”

Bai Xiaoyan snorted and said, "Boss Zhang, isn't my dad for the construction of his hometown?" Besides, Uncle Ding was originally a leading cadre at the deputy department level, so what's wrong with asking him to come back and give full play to his spare heat? ”

"Yes, yes, you're right, but the words must be said in front, you must help me keep the matter of my return secret, this is the plea of the old classmate, you won't give me this face, right?"

What made him feel helpless was that Bai Xiaoyan actually raised his arm and glanced at his watch, and said helplessly: "Old classmate, you only come back once in seven years, and I don't know when it will be next time." And Shenlong can't see the beginning but not the end, thinking about you is more difficult than meeting the president of the country, I can't protect you with this secret.

The call had already been made, and my dad and Uncle Wang were on their way back from the provincial capital. Give me face as an old classmate, and then you can invite them to have a meal with you later; If you don't give face to my old classmates, then they will wait outside the Seamen's Club until you sometimes see them indirectly. ”

It's really a soft mouth that eats people, and a short hand that takes other people.

As soon as Ding Aiguo was hired as a consultant to the municipal government, he took great pains to help the city speak: "San'er, who is not good for our hometown? With so many projects in the group, what is the difference between investing there and investing here? ”

The parents will arrive soon, what else can they say in the charter, and smiled at Bai Xiaoyan, who was staring at him: "Old classmate, how can I not give you face?" However, the amount of alcohol is limited, so I can only ask Uncle Ding to accompany your father and them to have a few drinks later. ”

Good sister Tengxi said just a few days ago that she can't bring beautiful women home in the future. Unexpectedly, as soon as he learned his lesson, his mother-in-law recruited his childhood sweetheart's elementary and middle school classmates again.

However, Xia Yao was very confident in himself and in his husband, and he didn't want to make everyone unhappy, so he simply took out a few boxes of cosmetics that couldn't be used by pregnant women from the box, walked up to her and smiled generously: "Teacher Bai, I didn't know you were there, I wasn't prepared at all." This is my little heart, I wish you a happy new year. ”

Her status in the Zhang family is very high, and now she is pregnant with the child of her old classmate, Bai Xiaoyan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and said: "Xia Yao, this is too polite, the first time you come to Nanbin, I should do my landlord's friendship, now I have to eat your family's food, but also accept your gifts, it really makes me unhappy." ”

Xia Yao stuffed the makeup bag into her hand. Like sisters who have been reunited after a long absence. Holding her arm, he smiled: "You are classmates with my family's charter." I should be grateful for taking such good care of my grandma and my mother, so what's the shame of? In addition, I finally went back to Nanbin once, and I plan to trouble you to accompany me for a walk. ”

"No problem, I'll be resting tomorrow."

As he was talking, Zhang Bing, Wu Xiaozhu and Wu Xiaojun's car arrived. Under Ding Aiguo's arrangement, the crowd rushed to the seamen's club in four cars and two commercial vehicles of the Hujiang Company.

I don't know how many attachés the parent officer has. Ding Aiguo asked the club manager to add two more tables temporarily. Xia Yao naturally didn't sit and wait, pulled the charter to the window and asked curiously, "Husband, did you sell cigarettes here before?" ”

"Well, there's a fruit seller down there, oh my! The old uncle who sells tea and eggs is still there, no, I have to go down and say hello to him. ”

"I'll go with you."

The little couple said that they would go downstairs, put on a down jacket, and ran down to talk happily with the old stall owner, and the old uncle had a good memory. As soon as I said a few words, I remembered the half-sized boy who came here on time every day to sell cigarettes and pour foreign exchange.

"Eat. You're welcome, I'll pick you a few more shells that will be crushed and cooked for a long time. ”

"Thank you, uncle, you cooked so deliciously."

The reunion of the deceased, not to mention how excited. The charter gave him a pack of Great China, he invited charter and Xia Yao to eat tea eggs, and the three of them sat around the small carbon stove and chatted happily.

He didn't have a shelf at all, and he talked and laughed with the old man who sold tea and eggs. Xia Yao is not like Mrs. Kuo at all, she eats egg yolks all over her mouth, and she doesn't even think the old man is dirty, so she takes the cup full of tea dirt and drinks it. Several bodyguards stood quietly around them, like the seafarers who frequented the area, to make sure nothing went wrong.

Bai Xiaoyan stood by the window and watched intently, Gu Hongxia smiled strangely: "San'er, this kid misses the old, Xia Yao's girl has a good heart, let them go, anyway, your father and Secretary Wang will arrive in a while." ”

After seven years, the classmate who dropped out of school to sell cigarettes has become the tenth richest man in Hong Kong, Bai Xiaoyan clearly understands that he and he are completely in two worlds. If it weren't for his father's desire to go one step further and ask him to invest in and build his hometown, it is likely that he would never have had another relationship in his life.

She glanced back at the food and wine on the table, and muttered, "It seems that they can't eat dinner." ”

"It's normal that they can't eat, they never eat enough in the restaurant, and they rarely go to the restaurant."

"All at home?"

"Where else can you be when you're not at home?"

Gu Hongxia asked rhetorically, and smiled casually: "In the eyes of others, he is a billionaire and should live a life of spending and drinking." In fact, he is just an ordinary person, going to work on time and getting off work at the end of the day, except for a bigger career, there is no difference from you and me. ”

Bai Xiaoyan was very curious about their lives, and couldn't help but ask, "Xia Yao also goes to work?" ”

"Of course, how can you do nothing at such a young age, she helps in the charitable foundation, and just went to the poor mountainous area of Xichuan for more than a month a year ago."

As soon as Gu Hongxia's words fell, she heard Wu Xiaozhu shouting: "Teacher Bai, don't worry about the two of them, will it be 80 points, we are just missing one." ”

The cousin of the charter, the vice president and manager of Hong Kong Xingguo Real Estate Co., Ltd., is talking with the city government about a hardware and electromechanical market and a real estate investment project, and he met last time at a dinner at the city government guest house.

Seeing that the other two bosses who were also too young were holding playing cards and the other was cleaning up the table, Bai Xiaoyan smiled and said: "It will be a little, but I don't play well, and I will be scolded by my opponent when I play at school." Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhang, Uncle Ding and Aunt Gu must have played better than me, or you should invite them. ”

Without waiting for Wu Xiaozhu and Zhang Bing to speak, Gu Hongxia smiled and urged: "It's okay to know a little, and don't come with money, go, you young people play with young people, this is the rule of our family." ”

"Really?"

"What are you lying to, it's the same when you have dinner, young people sit with young people."

As soon as they sat down and played two handfuls, Secretary Wang of the Nanbin Municipal Party Committee and Bai Xiaoyan's father, Mayor Bai Renchuan, walked into the banquet hall with a spring breeze on their faces. Li Xiaoshan, Ding Aiguo, Wu Xiufeng, Zhang Bing, Wu Xiaozhu, Wu Xiaobing and other juniors hurriedly got up to greet each other, and after shaking hands with them one by one, the two bigwigs couldn't wait to say hello to the old lady and Wu Xiulan.

"Old lady, I wish you happiness such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan......"

Taking advantage of Secretary Wang's time to pay tribute to the old lady in her old age, Bai Renchuan pulled his daughter aside. Puzzled, he asked, "What about Mr. Zhang." Why didn't you see others? ”

"Eat tea eggs at the door. Didn't you see it when you came up? ”

"Tea eggs?" Bai Incheon was confused.

Bai Xiaoyan pulled him to the window to eat and said with a smile: "See, the old uncle who sells tea eggs is more popular than you." ”

Billionaires do things differently than others, Bai Renchuan was about to go downstairs to say hello, Ding Aiguo arranged it without concessions: "Secretary Wang, Mayor Bai, we are at the same table with Mr. Li and Xiufeng." Xiaozhu, everyone is here, what are you doing in a daze, go and call the charter and Xia Yao up. ”

The county magistrate is not as good as the current management. Besides, the main master has already returned, and there is time to deal with, Secretary Wang and Bai Renchuan simply shifted the target to Li Xiaoshan, clasped his hands and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, you are welcome to take time out of your busy schedule to visit our Nanbin, and today I must borrow Mr. Zhang's wine to toast you." ”

"Yes, Mr. Li, you are a busy man, we must not miss this opportunity, we must have a drunk party."

Li Xiaoshan beckoned them to sit down, and said with a smile: "The two leaders are too polite. However, there is something that must be reported to the two leaders before drinking, and the board of directors of our group is going to make a personnel adjustment to the companies in each region. In other words, Nanbin's investment project will be led by another Chinese company president. ”

It was not easy to get on the relationship and change people, Bai Renchuan realized the seriousness of the problem, and couldn't help asking: "What about you, Mr. Li, where are you going to be transferred next?" ”

"I went to the group headquarters to help, and my wife went to the charitable foundation. If nothing else, I will be replaced by an American colleague. Prior to that, he served as Vice President of the Americas Company. ”

Ding Aiguo was also very surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaoshan, you and Xiaohu are going to the headquarters, what about Mr. Song?" ”

Mr. Song also went to the headquarters to replace Liang Baoer as the head of the group affairs department, BJ was in charge of the European vice president Asena Wenger, and Majestic was taken over by Wu Yingzhe, assistant to the group chief executive officer. Not only our Chinese company, but also the American, European and African companies have to adjust their personnel, involving more than a dozen presidents and vice presidents. ”

Thinking that Wu Yingzhe had already done technical immigration, Ding Aiguo blurted out: "So from now on, there is no Chinese executive in Chinese companies?" ”

Li Xiaoshan smiled and confirmed casually: "Our NB Electric is a multinational company with business all over the world, and personnel arrangements also need to focus on the world. In addition, with the acquisition of BNB News in the United States, our investments in China, Germany and the United States have been basically equal, so we need to consider globalization in our staffing arrangements. ”

The action was so big, Ding Aiguo frowned: "Globalization, all to the last Chinese?" ”

"How is that possible?"

The charter didn't know when he walked in, and while nodding to the two parents, he said step by step: "Uncle Ding, the reason why the current situation has occurred is mainly because there are too few talents with a global vision in China. It is believed that with the continuous development of the domestic economy and the continuous improvement of education level, more and more Chinese will take up senior management positions in the future. What's more, after this adjustment, the proportion of Chinese in the executives of overseas companies will increase significantly. ”

Talents are rare, especially in management.

The reason why I had the question just now was that the news was too sudden, how could Ding Aiguo interfere in the internal affairs of the group, and hurriedly pointed to the table next to him and said with a smile: "Charter, according to the old rules, you young people and young people have a table, and I will accompany Mr. Li and your second uncle to accompany Secretary Wang and Mayor Bai, and we will talk about it after dinner." ”

"Listen to you."

Regardless of work, a meal is enjoyable, and the guests and hosts are happy. Under Ding Aiguo's arrangement, the charter, Li Xiaoshan, Zhang Bing, Wu Xiaozhu, Wu Xiaojun and two parents came to the small conference room on the third floor of the club to exchange views on the upcoming investment of Chinese companies in Nanbin.

Guarding such a big God of Wealth, one or two billion Wang secretaries feel a little little, and the province attaches great importance to NB Electric, Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor Jiang have instructed more than once that Nanbin must grasp this opportunity to make a good start to the province's investment promotion this year.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, and Mayor Incheon returned from southern Xinjiang, the city held three enlarged meetings of the Standing Committee to discuss and study the investment promotion policy of our southern province. and organize the top leaders of various bureaus and commissions to visit and study in the Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone and Hudong New Area......"

He reported to the leader. A sincere face. The charter hurriedly interrupted: "Secretary Wang, Mayor Bai." Yu Gong, the two of you are city leaders. Yu privately, you two are fellow countrymen and my elders, so there is no need for this at all. What's more, I am a native of Nanbin, and it is my job to invest in my hometown, build my hometown, and make suggestions for the development of my hometown. Let's talk casually. It doesn't need to be so formal. ”

Sure enough, there was no shelf at all, unlike the domineering Hong Kong businessmen I met before, Secretary Wang secretly praised one, and he didn't know how to speak next, so he continued: "Our NB Electric is mainly engaged in manufacturing, since it is a manufacturing industry, it is inseparable from skilled workers." If the city can solve the problems of household registration, education, medical care and housing for our future employees, like the Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone and Hudong New Area, then we can put the NB Heavy Industry under construction in Nanbin. ”

"Mr. Zhang, although rest assured, we have taken those policies into account. In a word. There are some in the Special Economic Zone, and we also have them in Nanbin. ”

"Thank you."

The charter nodded slightly. While greeting the two of them to tea, he continued: "NB Heavy Industry will be mainly engaged in shipbuilding in the future, and I will use this as a leader to mobilize more Hong Kong businessmen to invest in Nanbin and provide supporting facilities for NB Heavy Industry." At present, there are more than 30 interested companies, including Hailong Company, which specializes in the production of ship paint, and Dachang Company, which produces marine machinery, and they also plan to settle in our planned NB Industrial Park. ”

Either he didn't come, or there were more than 30 of them, Bai Renchuan was ecstatic, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhang, take the liberty of asking, how much do you expect the total investment to be?" ”

The charter smiled: "Including us, three or five hundred million should be no problem." If Hong Kong companies interested in infrastructure and real estate are included, the total investment this year is estimated to reach one billion yuan. ”

In a real response, Secretary Wang couldn't help but get up and said, "Thank you so much, I know that Mr. Zhang will not forget his hometown." ”

"Secretary Wang is serious, this is what I should do."

The charter glanced at Li Xiaoshan, and then said: "NB Heavy Industry is the first project, and in the next few years, we will successively transfer some factories from abroad and the south to the south. At the same time, depending on the progress of R&D and market conditions, it will increase some investment in power and electronics, and take Nanbin as the group's third production base in China after Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone and Hujiang New Area.

However, considering that there are too many things involved in the joint venture with the state, the group has no plan to cooperate with the Municipal Shipyard and the Municipal High Voltage Electrical Appliance Factory for the time being, and is only ready to cooperate with the city in the form of land shareholding or sole proprietorship. ”

The situation of the city shipyard is getting worse, and there are many problems in the high-voltage electrical appliance factory, so they can't take this opportunity to revitalize them, Secretary Wang and Mayor Bai are a little disappointed, but when they think of the investment of up to one billion yuan, that disappointment is really nothing.

The location of the NB Industrial Park, the details of the city's shares in the land will be discussed by a special person, after the two sides determined the general direction, Secretary Wang asked with great expectation: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, the development of Nanbin needs funds, I don't know if Hujiang NB Bank can set up a branch in Nanbin, the relevant procedures for you two to rest assured, we will run in the city." ”

Naturally, he would not refuse this kind of good deed, and he agreed: "As long as the city can run down the formalities, I think there should be no problem on our side." It is even possible to raise a sum of money from abroad to invest in the infrastructure construction of Nanbin, such as the construction of a bridge over the Yangtze River, to fundamentally improve the investment environment in Nanbin. ”

The Yangtze River Bridge, that's something that Nanbin people have been thinking about for decades.

As the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, how could the two not know what a great achievement it was, but they have been suffering from no funds, so they can only hide their thoughts deep in their hearts.

Boss Zhang was willing to invest, Secretary Wang was excited, held his hand tightly and said: "Mr. Zhang, if you can help the city solve the financial problem, then we dare to go to the province and BJ to run the procedures with confidence, and strive to build this bridge that 1.2 million Nanbin people have been looking forward to for decades during our tenure!" ”

The expressway and the Yangtze River Bridge are a profitable business, and even if they want to be free of charge after recovering their investment with interest in the future, the government will not agree. More importantly, NB Bank needs an investment channel with stable income, which can not only drive the economic development of the hometown, but also be profitable, why not do it?

The bigger the cake is drawn, the more confident it will be when dealing with those high-ranking cadres with bad intentions in the future. As for the tens of billions of infrastructure construction funds, NB Electric does not have them, and NB Bank does not have so much, but Hong Kong has.

I had this idea when I crossed the river by the long-sailing ferry, and seeing that the two parents were really interested, he said categorically: "Secretary Wang, Mayor Bai, funding is not a problem, it's a big deal that we will jointly form a joint-stock company to go to Hong Kong for financing, and the key bridge involves two prefecture-level cities." If you count the highway connecting the Shanghai River, it means that two provinces and cities are involved. ”

The difficulty is very high, especially on the highways in Gangnam.

Secretary Wang weighed it and said resolutely: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, early tomorrow morning, I will go to the province with the mayor of Incheon to report, and I believe that the province will definitely support us." (To be continued......)
