Chapter 731: One Step Away
When Lin Xiao received Meng Tingyuan's invitation to meet, he also felt a little surprised.
He didn't expect that at this time, Meng Tingyuan, the head of the Jinling Meng family, would actually find him here.
It's just that this invitation was conveyed by someone on his behalf, and this intermediary was none other than Qiu Yucheng, an old subordinate of the Lin family in Beijing, who was now running the business of the Splendid Palace Club for Lin Xiao.
The business that was taken from the old Chen family back then, there was a market value of more than a billion yuan in Beijing, and later Lin Xiao injected some other assets, and now the business in charge of Qiu Yucheng is about five or six billion yuan.
The current Mr. Qiu is actually much more prosperous than when he worked in a state-owned enterprise before.
After all, everyone knows that the Splendid Palace is the business of the old Lin family, and it was built and integrated by Lin Xiao, so the characters in all aspects have to give face.
You must know that the old Chen family didn't give Lin Dashao face back then, hasn't it become a historical term now?
In view of this, Qiu Yucheng mixed well in the capital, and some people regarded him as Lin Xiao's spokesperson.
In fact, the situation was similar to everyone's expectations, Qiu Yucheng did act as Lin Xiao's eyes and ears in the capital, and handled some more cumbersome affairs for him.
"You mean, Meng Tingyuan wants to see me?" Lin Xiao confirmed on the phone, and then said with some curiosity, "This person is a character, he can actually put down his body and come to see my deputy hall?" ”
"The prestige of Dashao, even if it is a provincial and ministerial-level cadre, no one dares to ignore it." Qiu Yucheng said with a smile, "If you are in the capital, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for provincial and ministerial-level cadres to see you." ”
Qiu Yucheng's words are not just fading out of your flattery, but describing a very practical situation.
Due to some special reasons, Lin Xiao is indeed very popular in the capital, especially those retired and incumbent cadres at the national and deputy national levels, who are very interested in inviting Lin Xiao.
After all, the medical skills in Lin Xiao's hands are indeed breathtaking, but if anyone has any chronic illness and the treatment is ineffective, if they have been troubled by this matter, they will unconsciously think of Lin Xiao and ask him to come for treatment.
Of course, because of Old Man Lin and Lin Zhengnan, cadres below the deputy national level, unless there are special circumstances, please really don't touch Lin Xiao.
You must know that the most important thing in the capital is cadres, and there are already a lot of cadres at the deputy national level and the national level, and there are almost hundreds of retired and incumbent cadres.
With so many old, weak, sick and disabled, if you really want Lin Xiao to take care of it, it will take a long time, so there is a difference between intimacy and alienation, and some rival forces naturally don't have the face to ask Lin Xiao for medical treatment.
Therefore, those who have a good relationship with the Lin family are only those twenty or thirty people, and if there are any problems with these people, Lin Xiao can still take care of them.
"I can't say that, it's just that people ask me." Lin Xiao listened to Qiu Yucheng's words and smiled.
"So, Da Shao, do you have to agree to this?" Qiu Yucheng asked.
Although Meng Tingyuan has retired, the influence of the Meng family in Jinling is still very great, and their development is not only in the political arena, but also in the business circle and even the cultural circle, especially in the Jiangnan area, which is even more important.
The cultural atmosphere of Jiangnan, in fact, is not at all willing to lag behind compared to the north.
Due to the influence of the political atmosphere, the north is closer to the center of power, so there are more cultural constraints, on the other hand, the Jiangnan area is very open in this regard, so from this aspect, the Meng family has a great influence among the people.
"It's okay to talk about it, you just set a time for him." Lin Xiao thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was harmless, "After three days, don't rush to reply to him, let it dry first." ”
"Understood." After all, Qiu Yucheng is also a figure who has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he naturally understands what Lin Xiao said, and knows how to deal with the Jinling Meng family.
It is important to make them understand that this opportunity to meet is not easy to come by, so that they can give more benefits when negotiating.
Putting down the phone, Lin Xiao began to ponder this matter.
The Jinling Meng family obviously didn't want to be dragged into the abyss of invincibility by Tian Wuyao's matter, so they needed to make a little expression, and the best choice was naturally to go directly to Lin Zhengnan.
It's a pity that Lin Zhengnan is a member of the bureau committee and has a high position, and it is not too difficult for Meng Tingyuan to see him, but if he wants to talk about the conditions, it is boring to talk about himself.
Fortunately, it is the Lin family's business, Lin Xiao can be the master of most of the children, and Lin Xiao's level is slightly lower, so Meng Tingyuan set his goal on Lin Xiao, hoping that he can persuade Lin Xiao to simplify this matter.
Otherwise, the blow to the Meng family in Jinling would be too serious.
It's just that Lin Xiao really doesn't know what benefits he can get from the Jinling Meng family.
After Han Qi heard about this, he asked with a little suspicion, "Didn't you shout at the Meng family in Jinling and kill them, and you want to knock them all to death with a stick?" Why is it that the **** with a little bit of small profit is not calm now? ”
"A stick can't kill ......them," Lin Xiao replied with a smile, "If the Meng family falls, some of the territory occupied by the Meng family in Jinling will inevitably be coveted by forces from all sides, and a fight is inevitable, which does not meet the needs of the current situation." Therefore, destroying them is just a slogan of mine, and the real goal is to get enough benefits from them. ”
Ensuring general stability at the local level is one of the basic requirements of the central authorities, and it is also one of the basic principles to which local officials attach great importance.
Naturally, there is no difficulty in defeating the Meng family, as long as the evidence is conclusive, there is no problem, and this matter is very easy to do.
But if Lin Xiao attacked the Meng family excessively, or even retaliated wantonly, it might affect the stability of the entire Jiangnan region, and the upper authorities would definitely come forward to stop it.
At that time, not only will he not get any benefits, but maybe even the benefits he should have received will be lost, which is not in line with Lin Xiao's principles of life, so he will not do this.
The current bluff is just to get more benefits from the Jinling Meng family, not really to exterminate the Jinling Meng family.
If you don't say that you can't do that, even if you can do it, it's not easy to do it, and there will be troubles.
If a Jinling Meng family falls, there may be several rival forces, which is naturally not what Lin Xiao wants to see.
"I see, you who are engaged in politics are really full of bad water...... Han Qi couldn't help but sigh after hearing it.
"Don't talk about me yet, you're going to have a concert in the evening, and it's time to leave later, right?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Yes, I've been busy for a while tonight, but fortunately, I'm just singing two songs with Sisi, it's not so difficult." Han Qi nodded and replied.
Being a guest and acting in friendship is naturally much easier than playing a full show.
"The Jinling Meng family is also very influential in the entertainment industry?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked Han Qi.
"Yes, especially in the Jiangnan area, their influence is indeed greater." Han Qi nodded and replied.
Then Han Qi explained, "In the past, the old man of their family was also from the military, and he had a great influence on the Jinling Military Region, and their grandmother was a scholarly family and a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, so it led to the combination of their two families and formed a very powerful interest group." ”
"I see." Lin Xiao listened, then nodded and said, "No wonder I can play with culture and the entertainment industry, my feelings have a foundation in this regard!" ”
However, Lin Xiao also admired the old man of the Meng family a little.
You must know that at that time, although the generals of the military were in power, there were relatively few people who were willing to marry a rich daughter, after all, this aspect was relatively sensitive.
Even if you marry a female college student, there is no problem, after all, in those days, intellectuals were objects that could be united, and rich daughters or something, they may belong to opposing classes, and the difference is still very big, which may directly affect the development of his career.
But judging from the current effect, the reason why the Meng family can develop so deeply in Jiangnan is not unrelated to the decision of Old Man Meng back then.
It's just that the law of being rich for three generations has been realized in the Jinling Meng family.
The Tian Wuyao incident shows that in the current environment of China, the foundation of wealthy politics does not exist, at least from the general direction, this is not in line with the fundamental interests of all strata, so there is a big problem in the third generation of the Meng family.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jinling Meng family was too powerful in the Jiangnan area, Tian Wuyao would not have been stupid enough to use his brains against the underground underworld forces in Mingzhu City, and as a result, he caused such a catastrophe.
In the final analysis, this is all a trouble caused by a high degree of self-confidence.
After all, Meng Tingyuan almost entered the game and became a vice-national leader, although because of Lin Zhengnan's insertion, the Meng family's plan failed, but it can also be seen that the power of the Meng family in Jinling has indeed climbed to a peak, and it is almost able to enter the threshold of the top giants.
Once this threshold is crossed, it is a leap into the dragon gate, from the local wealthy family to the Chinese giant.
It's a pity that because of Lin Xiao's strong rise, many families have lost this opportunity, and it can't but be said that fate played a joke on the Jinling Meng family.
Luck, once it encounters an obstacle, it may be a turning point of prosperity and decline, and now the Jinling Meng family has actually entered the process of decline, which no one can deny.
Even if Meng Tingyuan was able to pay a big price this time in exchange for the Lin family's understanding, it would be difficult to stop the trend of family decline.
Sometimes, just such a step can lead to one step to heaven and one step to hell.
