Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Fourth Retreat (Part 2)
After Hou Weidong and Xiaojia got married, they were generally divided into more and more. During the period when he worked in Shazhou, although he was in Shazhou, he was so busy that he almost regarded his home as a hotel. This time he returned to Shazhou to serve as the director of Agricultural Machinery, Hou Weidong intended to let himself free. In December, he and Xiaojia took a public leave at the same time and took his little son to Hainan Island.
Their family found a hotel in Yalong Bay and stayed there.
Compared with Shazhou, Sanya is not cold in winter. Without the scorching ultraviolet rays and less heat waves, walking in the forest, yellow leaves floating overhead. Such a beautiful scenery made Hou Weidong feel active.
After staying for two days, Jiang Dali and Yang Qian drove to Sanya in a car.
"Donggua, I heard that you have been demoted again, you must emancipate your mind and use money to open up the way. Maybe one day I will fight back to Lingxi and take care of a few officials, so I can get through." When Jiang Dali first graduated, he looked down on cadres very much, but after seven or eight years of hard work, his attitude changed significantly. Every time he called, he always urged Hou Weidong's official position to a higher level.
"Our destiny is that two fingers are so wide. Whether it is a position or a dismissal, at most two lines of words and the width of the two fingers." Having said this, Hou Weidong thought of Li Jing on the other side of the ocean and said with great emotion: "The economic foundation determines the superstructure. This is the most classic statement. Now the one who lives the most free and easy is you rich people."
"Aren't you considered a rich man? I guess your strength is stronger than mine. Donggua is just a rich man."
Jiang Dali shaved his hair short, and his huge head looked even stronger. He said, "The superstructure also had a counterproductive effect on the economic foundation. I have been in the martial arts world for so long. Now I finally figured out a truth. If you want to achieve great things, you really need government agencies. There are people in the court who can do things."
"After all, the director of the Agricultural Machinery, Water and Power Bureau is not a local official. If you want to develop, you still have to be a local official. Although you are young, you can't stand the trouble. People from generation to generation will come out. In a few years, it may be another scene. I have business dealings with the sister of a deputy governor. If you want, I will help you with some relationship."
Hou Weidong knew in his heart that most of the people Jiang Dali knew was Qin Li, the sister of Vice Governor Qin Lu. He did not ask about this matter, but just said lightly: "I just arrived at the Agricultural Machinery and Water Power Bureau, first gain a foothold and then plan for progress. You don't need to have that relationship for the time being."
Jiang Dali pointed out the words thoroughly and said, "Relationships are productivity, and they are short-term productivity. They will be invalid if they don't need to. What I just said was Vice Governor Qin Lu, you should know him."
"I've met Qin Li. There's no special relationship."
Hou Weidong is a member of the Lingxi officialdom and is well aware of the entanglements and interests. Jiang Dali only talks about it in general, and he is the flesh and blood inside. He does not want to talk more about the Lingxi officialdom in front of Jiang Dali, so he has changed the topic.
"I have experienced several twists and turns. I have become indifferent to the officialdom and life. People are sixty. Officials are the same as those with a large official, seventy, and the money is the same as those with less money. People are eighty, men and women are the same as those with ninety, and death is the same as those with a living."
Jiang Dali laughed and said, "After becoming an official for a long time, Donggua has also learned to fake a blow. According to your personality, you can easily admit defeat and I will not believe it if I beat you ten times."
"And, the emotion you just expressed from the position of being an official is not the same for ordinary people. For example, if you say that people are eighty, men and women are the same, but in fact they are different. Now, 80-year-old celebrities can still find a 20-year-old woman. Can you say that men are the same as women? The core of the problem is social status and economic strength."
Hou Weidong also admitted this and said, "Bald Jiang is Bald Jiang, and he can see the core of the problem."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Dali said: "I'll tell you something serious. I'm going to invest in Lingxi in the near future. The profit of the pharmaceutical factory is too high. I think it will be rectified sooner or later. After all, it's a matter of medicine involving human life. It's impossible for me to go on forever. I want to change the project in time during the * period."
Hou Weidong searched in his mind and said, "I'm in charge of big projects now. If you don't have enough funds, you should be a real estate project if you want to make money quickly."
"Real estate projects are also capital-intensive projects, and I don't have the strength yet."
"In Shazhou, the most promising project is resource-based projects, such as the phosphate mine in Chengjin, which produces many millionaires and millionaires. I used to build a stone yard in Shangqinglin, and they were all pretty good. I have a suggestion, it depends on whether you have the courage to do it. Now the coal industry is in a downturn, but with the development of the country, energy issues will be a big problem. Coal will rise sooner or later. Now the coal boss is losing a lot, and everyone can see no hope. Many people want to take action. This is a good opportunity."
Hou Weidong acquired Huofo Coal Mine in the name of Liu Guangfen. His business is normal now. Although his profitability is not as good as that of the stone yard on the mountain, he was the first pot of gold he dug in the stone yard. Therefore, he is very fond of resource-based enterprises and is full of confidence.
Jiang Dali touched his big head for a while and said, "I believe in your judgment. When I clear the matter in my hand, I will come back to inspect."
Two men were sitting by the house talking about the world, and Xiaojia and Yang Qian were having a great time on the beach with Xiaojia and Xiaojian.
"Little boy is so beautiful. He integrates the advantages of you and Hou Weidong. It would be a pity that you don't have another one."
"The family planning is so strict that many people hope to avoid Hou Weidong's mistake."
Yang Qian smiled and said, "This matter is easy to resolve. I will arrange for you to go to Hong Kong for a lifetime. After birth, you will be considered a Hong Konger. One country, two systems. The mainland's family planning will not be controlled by Hong Kong, and there are many benefits to obtaining the right to residency in Hong Kong."
Xiaojia was a little moved and thought about this.
When Hou Weidong heard Yang Qian's suggestion, he felt like he was stung by a hornet. The last time he had crossed Li Jing with the spring breeze in Boston, Li Jing was really pregnant. On the one hand, Hou Weidong expressed satisfaction with his strong vitality, but on the other hand, as his status improved, he became more and more worried about this matter. If a leader had a foreign house and had several children, it would be a ruined ending.
Li Jing has insight into human nature. She turned Seiko Group into a Hong Kong-funded enterprise and clearly stated that she wanted to have children in Hong Kong, which was to use a tactful way to eliminate Hou Weidong's psychological burden and try to eliminate potential dangers to Hou Weidong. Hou Weidong was grateful and apologized for this. He had a psychological burden for children to obtain green cards, but he had no psychological burden for children to obtain Hong Kong household registration, so he agreed to Li Jing's arrangement.
At this time, he heard Xiaojia’s idea of having a child in Hong Kong. His face turned green and said, “You are a state cadre. Do you still want to work when you go to Hong Kong to give birth to a child?”
Xiaojia was immersed in happiness and said, "What's the point of a few hundred yuan in salary? My husband is so capable and can support me."
Seeing that Xiaojia was looking forward to the future, Hou Weidong felt soft for no reason and said to himself: "Li Jing can have two children. Why can't Xiaojia have two children? Hong Kong is so old, the chances of meeting the two are very small. You can get pregnant a little later, so you can stagger the time."
He thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to have children in Hong Kong in the next day, but you have to be prepared to resign."
Hou Weidong let go. Xiaojia himself hesitated. Although her monthly salary of several hundred yuan was not enough to maintain a car, it had nothing to do with the overall economic situation of the family, but she was really unwilling to ask her not to work as a housewife at home.
Jiang Dali smiled and said, "Why don't I work after graduation? I just want to have a civil freedom. Yang Qian and I are preparing to have a bunch of children. At least in the past ten years, Yang Qian was pregnant and was in confinement." Yang Qian spat and said, "Jiang Dali, you treat me as a fertility machine. I think it is the most ideal to have three children."
It was December when I got back to Shazhou from Sanya. After getting off the plane, the cold air that hit me made Hou Weidong and his family hurry to go to the hotel to add clothes, and then they felt warm.
In Chengjin, the first snowfall in the mountains has been falling for two thousand years. County Party Secretary Zeng Zhaoqiang was a little distressed, and the reason for the distress was that Fan Decai, vice chairman of the board of directors of Shengbao Group, was coming again.
After thinking about it, he called Zhou Fuquan and said, "I have something to do to go to Lingxi for a meeting. I have to bother with my brother when I negotiate with Shengbao Group. Haha, County Mayor Zhou has enough experience and I have no instructions. In a word, it will be beneficial to Chengjin's future work. This is the principle."
Fan Decai, vice chairman of Shengbao Group, came to Chengjin for the second time. After he visited Chengjin and Maodong, Chengjin's phosphate resources and basic conditions were better than Maodong. He personally tended to invest in Chengjin. Of course, the conditions proposed by the first intention agreement should be adhered to.
"County Magistrate Zhou, I already live in Maodong. Secretary Yang called many times, but I couldn't help but return to Chengjin." Fan Decai looked like he had no choice but to come to Chengjin.
Zhou Fuquan understood that Zeng Zhaoqiang actually had the same idea as Hou Weidong. His view of Zeng Zhaoqiang was very complicated, which directly affected the attitude of negotiation. At this time, he looked at Fan Decai's arrogant smile and said lukewarmly: "Chengjin has resources, Shengbao Group has money, and both sides have their own plans, so they can sit together." The implication is that both sides are equal.
Fan Decai interrupted him and said, "I heard that Hou Weidong was transferred to Shazhou Hydropower Bureau, and now he is County Mayor Zeng as the county party secretary." He stayed in Lingxi for more than half a year, and finally understood the political system of Lingxi, and knew that the county party secretary was a real strongman.
Before Zhou Fuquan could answer, he said: "Given the experience of the last time, I think Secretary Zeng should be invited to participate, otherwise I will not talk about it after the talk."
Zhou Fuquan followed his intention and said, "Secretary Zeng went to Lingxi for a meeting. Since Mr. Fan made this request, we will wait for Secretary Zeng Zhaoqiang to come back before talking."
In Fan Decai's mind, Zhou Fuquan was a person who could swallow his anger. This time he met Zhou Fuquan suddenly changed. Although he was still polite in language, the coldness in it was very clear.
After arriving at Lingxi, Fan Decai was used to a pleasing smile and complimenting politely. At this time, Zhou Fuquan's attitude made him very uncomfortable. He sneered a few times and said, "Since that's the case, it's not interesting to talk anymore. I'll go back to Maodong. Secretary Jiang from Maodong City will treat me to dinner tonight."
Zhou Fuquan did not try to keep him. When Fan Decai left, he went back to the office to read the newspaper slowly.
