The news that the centrist leader Zhao Shijie personally came forward to greet Xiao Baitu at the port was known to people from all sides in less than an hour.

In their opinion, Zhao Shijie did this at this time to attract him to join the centrists, everyone knows that Xiao Baitu's qualifications are very old, and he is the most representative figure of the younger generation, but because he has been away from the country for a long time, it is easier for people to forget.

But there is one thing that will never be forgotten about the development of Christmas Island, which will be written into Australian history for centuries.

Xiao Baitu and Zhao Shijie are just ordinary friends in private, and everyone knows how much communication there is between them, and it can't be compared with the personal relationship between Zhao Shijie and Liu Yun, even if you want to win over, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

According to the inference of people from all sides, Xiao Baitu is a very speculative person, and it is impossible for him to completely press himself on Zhao Shijie. That would not bring him too many benefits, and it would seem to be cheap, how could Xiao Baitu, who was shrewd about such stupid things, do it.

So even if he was picked up by Zhao Shijie, the others were not worried, believing that they would not be so quick to talk about success.

Xiao Baitu attended another reception banquet that night, and for a while he became the object of wooing from all parties, and the three words of Xiao Baitu instantly spread on the streets and alleys of Manchester City.

"Come, Lao Xiao, I'm toasting you, we brothers have to walk around well in the future, to be honest, if the place on Christmas Island doesn't have your credit, it can't develop, from this point of view, the position of the General Administration of Urban Planning and Management belongs to you, if I want to say that you don't have to choose it at all, it's directly yours."

The young man with a flushed face who was sitting next to Xiao Baitu patted him on the shoulder and said enthusiastically, while Xiao Baitu smiled on the side.

The man who spoke was one of the radicals. The guy named Li Jin was a contractor at a construction site before the crossing, and this person is particularly financially minded, and is currently the deputy mayor of Manchester.

He personally received Xiao Baitu on behalf of the radicals, and it was also fully evident that he attached great importance to him, and the radicals have always focused on economic development, and there are leaders of the entire Australian private economy.

Li Jin himself is the owner of a machinery processing factory, with an annual income of about 50,000 yuan, but he now prefers to serve as the deputy mayor than to run a machinery processing factory.

The deputy mayor has also been able to give him a bigger stage, and he is in charge of the development of the entire Manchester Industrial Park. From a barren land to a key income area of the national tax burden, the efforts made here are not simply to move enterprises in, but also to deal with all aspects.

The two can be said to have a very common language when sitting together, and they are both young people with the same experience.

The two of them made a full analysis of the position of the General Administration of Urban Management and Planning, and believed that the current ones who could be qualified were Li Jinxiao, Baitu and several others, and as for the dozen or so candidates, they thought that the fundamental qualifications were not enough, and these people did not even have the economy of the party in charge, so how could they be able to take on such an important task as the Urban Management and Planning Bureau.

This position is not something that anyone can do, and Li Jin has the means to develop the economy. Xiao Baitu also has experience, so this position will eventually fall into the hands of three people.

However, Li Jin has made it clear that he will not participate in the competition, as long as Xiao Baitu joins the radicals, they will fully support it, and this temptation is indeed not small.

There is little temptation for the radicals to fully support them. The most important thing is that there are ordinary private business owners among them, these people are all local tyrants in Australia, and they can make a lot of money by investing in whatever they want.

So Xiao Baitu still wants to join very much, as for really joining. Based on his discussion with Bao Zitu, he still tried his best to join Zhao Shijie's faction.

Because the centrist seems to have little power, but he controls the share of foreign trade import and export, it can be said that the entire Australian import and export is his fault. Judging from the current situation, the Ministry of Internal and Foreign Trade will always control the right to import and export in the next few decades, and basically will not change.

Zhao Shijie's age is there, as he grows older, he will inevitably become the president, and at that time, Xiao Baitu will naturally be able to get what he wants, the age difference between the two is six years, even if Zhao Shijie finishes two terms, Xiao Baitu can take over his position.

But if he joins other factions, with Xiao Baitu's age and qualifications, he will inevitably compete with his peers in this faction, and it is difficult to say whether he can become president at that time.

The biggest advantage in the centrist faction is that there are not many people with qualifications like Xiao Baitu, and if he can join, the entire faction will push him to run.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to join the centrists, but at present, Zhao Shijie does not attach much importance to him, don't look at him to pick him up in person, but he did not clearly indicate how he will support him in the future.

Seriously, the position of the Urban Planning Administration is currently considered a high-ranking official, but it is really nothing for Xiao Baitu, he wants to move to a higher position, and in the future, he can decide the position of the entire Australian national policy, the leader of the core level.

Without this position, he would never easily agree to anyone, so everyone else thinks that he just likes the position of director of the planning bureau, but in fact, people are already thinking about what will happen in the next 20 years or so.

It is not an exaggeration to use foresight on Xiao Baitu's body, what he has to consider is future investment, and a faction that can give him future support is what he is worthy of refuge.

Zhao Shijie has not given a clear answer yet, but he should be able to guess, so everyone is not in a hurry to think, after all, this is a matter of ten or twenty years in the future, and the two sides will be allies in the trenches in the future.

The temperament between allies still needs to be understood, so Zhao Shijie is also observing, if Xiao Baitu is worthy of him to make this choice, he will definitely not give up.

Although he knew that he was meeting other people, he was not worried at all, knowing that the other party was waiting for the answer he gave, and if the answer he gave did not satisfy him, he would choose to form an alliance with other people or join, it can be said that he was his best choice and the object he was most willing to choose.

Xiao Baitu needs Zhao Shijie to make a choice, and Zhao Shijie needs to see Xiao Baitu's decision, so both sides need a time to ease up and understand, now is a good opportunity, Zhao Shijie can learn more information about Xiao Baitu through his meeting with others, this is actually a message deliberately released by Xiao Baitu, the purpose of which is to let everyone choose.
