Back to Meixi, Chen Huai and Sun Yalin drove their own cars.

In the car, Chen Huai called Chen Dan. Chen Dan knew that Sun Yalin was going to have dinner too, so he stopped making any preparations, so he simply asked them all to go to Shangxi Garden.

Chen Huai and Sun Yalin parked their car next to the leisure green space east of Zhuyuan, passed through the old stone archway at the east end of the old street, walked along the street, under the cast iron street lights, watching several exquisitely decorated Japanese restaurants open to the public; even at the east end of Anlan Temple, there is also a newly opened club with Japanese curtains.

It was late for Chen Huai to come out of the county. It was already seven o'clock by this time, and the diners had already entered the store. The few pedestrians were either young tourists or residents who had dinner and came out to stroll around in the town.

Meixi Town has sufficient financial resources. After Shen Huai stayed in Tangzha, he continued to invest in Meixi Old Street.

Because the industrial parks and Hexi New Town in Meixi New District must be planned as a whole, some valuable old constructions that are not enough to protect cultural relics in the city, they will not hesitate to move over to the north to expand the scope of the old street and circle the Meilin in the southwest corner to form a garden covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres, making Meixi Old Street, Laohe Wharf, Yanhe Road Commercial Street, and Xuetang Street a radius of nearly one square kilometer, truly integrating it into a whole and becoming the most attractive attractions within the Meixi New District.

When I walked into Shangxi Garden, there were also several middle-aged people waiting in the front hall, talking in a Japanese style.

"Meixi seems to have been occupied by the Japanese in the past two years..." Sun Yalin looked at the Japanese everywhere and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

Until the mid-to-early 1990s, after the economic rise, Japan's capital exports and industrial transfer directions in Asia were mainly in Southeast Asia. It was also since the Asian financial crisis that Japanese factories and other Asia-Pacific investors, including Chinese businessmen, turned their attention to China:

The 1.2 billion population is somewhat overwhelming for this country, but for investors, it means sufficient cheap labor resources and potential broad markets.

After seeing that China's economy continues to grow strongly, overseas economists have long proposed the famous "100 million people" theory for the Chinese market: it is believed that as long as China's 1.2 billion population, even if only 100 million wealthy people are generated after the economic growth continues to rise, the market size will be close to that of today's second-year economy, Japan.

Behind the sufficient cheap labor resources, China has a complete education system and the industrial progress that has been working hard for fifty years, which has enabled almost all the young Chinese workers to have extremely high industrial quality and ability to adapt to an industrial society.

Among investors, the main ones who have thorough research on China's economic development are Chinese businessmen in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, including manufacturers in Taiwan.

In the past, investors in Taiwan have been affected by cross-strait tensions and have always invested in the mainland in a limited way. However, after being devastated by the Asia-Pacific financial crisis, local authorities in Taiwan were forced to relax restrictions on investment in the mainland, and the investment amount has also begun to surge since last year.

Chen Huai, Xiong Wenbin and others also realized the problem of secondary transfer of the Asia-Pacific industry as early as the early stage of the Asia-Pacific financial crisis, and they were even more proactive in attracting investment.

By 1998, the infrastructure of many industrial parks in Meixi New District had been basically mature, and the surrounding airports, railways, ports and expressways had also formed large supporting facilities. Shenhuai paid great attention to soft environment construction in Meixi and Xinpu, and the achievements in attracting investment in the past two years have been particularly outstanding.

In 1998, Meixi New District introduced nearly 100 Japanese and Korean enterprises and Taiwanese businessmen who were transferred from Southeast Asia. Taiwan was deeply influenced by Japanese culture. This resulted in the scene of Meixi Town cooking shops everywhere and Japanese people crawling all over the ground today.

Behind this is also the contribution of Fuji ironmaking.

As part of the Yasuda Group, the six major chaebols in Japan, Fuji Iron Manufacturing itself is a large heavy industry manufacturing company and has a great influence in Japan.

Over the years, Meixi International Metallurgical Industrial Park has become the largest electric furnace steel industrial base in China, forming an annual steelmaking capacity of up to 3.2 million tons. Joint ventures formed by Fuji Iron and Provincial Steel and Changqing Group account for most of them.

The construction of the steel mill led by Rongxin and Shenggang in Shinjin is planned to be completed and put into production before autumn this year. It mainly uses the blast furnace technology of Fuji iron, which also holds 15% of the shares. In order to raise construction funds for Shinpu Refining and Chemical, Sun Yalin also transferred about 10% of the shares of Meixi Industrial, a listed company under Zhongxin Investment, to Fuji Iron to undertake it.

In terms of industrial influence, Fuji iron making in Donghua is not as good as Mei Steel, but it is not slightly weaker than Shenggang.

In recent years, due to the direct influence of Fuji iron making, it mainly supports Fuji iron making. There are nearly 20 Japanese-funded enterprises investing in Donghua. In addition, more Japanese-funded enterprises investing in Donghua are mainly textile light industry and chemical industry.

The fiscal and tax revenue of Tangzha District and Meixi New District was called Xiapu to tie the market last year, but the growth rate will not decrease in the next few years. To talk about the biggest problem, the subsequent development of Meixi New District will be mainly restricted by insufficient industrial land.

When Meixi New District was established, although Meixi, Zhushe, Huangqiao and other towns were merged, in fact, from Zhuxi Avenue to the north, they were all urban construction land. Only the parts of Meixi and Zhushe towns were planned as industrial zones. After deducting supporting construction such as transportation, water and electricity, the area of ​​available factory construction was less than less than 60 square kilometers.

Although there are still 20 to 30 square kilometers of industrial land available, in terms of long-term development, the subsequent development potential of Meixi New District is far from enough.

In addition, the area of ​​the industrial zone built at Xinpu Port Industrial Park at this time is even smaller than that of Meixi New Area, and the area officially entered the planned area is not very large. However, in addition to the wider hinterland to the south of Meipu Avenue, which can be planned as industrial construction land, there are two or three hundred square kilometers of shallows to be filled in the east; if it is from the Huaihai Fleet to the north and all the way to Xinjin Port, the 40 or 50 kilometers of coastline along the line, the area of ​​tidal flats and shallows to be filled in for industrial development is even more huge.

If he can serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, Chen Huai plans to work with Chen Bing to further promote administrative regional adjustments and new industrial and urban construction layout planning across Donghua City, so that Donghua's development resources can be more balanced, so that the momentum of Donghua's economy's rise in recent years will not fall in the next ten years.

But this plan seems to be going to fail at the moment.

Of course, even if Donghua's future growth rate is no longer as rapid as in the previous two years, the foundation has been laid and the results are already brilliant enough.

In 1994, Donghua City's GDP was only over 30 billion yuan, and this year's goal is to break through 100 billion yuan, tie Xucheng, and tie for Huaihai Province's number one economic city; however, Donghua's economic focus is in Xinpu, Meixi, and the regional structure is far from balanced.

After the real economy emerges, the first thing that benefits in the tertiary industry will always be catering.

After careful management of Shangxiyuan over the past few years, as the highest-end catering company in Donghua, it has gained a reputation with the Sun family's official dishes.

However, Chen Dan did not have much ambitions. Shangxiyuan has only two stores, Meixi Old Street and Xucheng Yiyuan Road, so far. The operating area is limited. The main store on the old street cannot accommodate large-scale banquets, and there are less than 30 private rooms.

Perhaps it is due to hunger marketing. Shangxiyuan Main Store currently only accepts reservations, and requires reservations three or four days in advance, and the annual turnover will exceed 20 million.

Shangxiyuan is small in scale. It has such high revenue and high profit margins in the catering industry. In Sun Yalin's words, it is simply a cash cow.

No matter how nervous the dining room is, Shen Huai and Sun Yalin come to have dinner, and they always have no worries about the place.

As soon as Shen Huai and the others arrived, Chen Dan got out of the office and told Sun Yalin: "If Shen Huai hadn't called, I wouldn't have known that you would have returned to Donghua."

Sun Yalin has been abroad for more than a year, and at the beginning of the year, the elders of the Sun family returned to Donghua to visit relatives, and Chen Dan did not have the chance to meet Sun Yalin. In short, Chen Dan had not seen Sun Yalin again for several months.

Sun Yalin said to Chen Dan: "You won't think that I'm going to be in trouble with me, right?"

"I just wanted to come here for dinner, why are you polite now?" Shen Huai asked Sun Yalin strangely.

Sun Yalin didn't say anything, but Chen Dan gave Shen Huai a angrily glance and said to Sun Yalin: "Don't listen to him talking nonsense..." With Shen Huai, Sun Yalin walked towards the west garden.

Kou Xuan ran out of the moon gate in the yard. Seeing Shen Huai and Chen Dan together, she was surprised and asked in surprise: "Why are you here to have a meal? When did Sister Yalin return to Donghua?"

Shen Huai and Chen Dan usually meet in old houses. They cook by themselves when they have time. Chen Dan takes the food from the hotel directly from the hotel. The tour school where Kou Xuan studied is two years. After the New Year, she went to Shangxiyuan with several classmates to intern, but she never met Shen Huai in Shangxiyuan for an internship. At this time, she was naturally surprised to see it.

"It's strange, why can't I come?" Shen Huai asked with a smile.

Kou Xuan is as old as Xiao Li, and is twenty-one years old after the New Year. She is wearing the purple-red uniform worn by the hotel intern manager, and she looks graceful and graceful, like a capable urban white-collar worker with her long hair tied behind her head with a brown hairband. Her bright and bright face is still tender and pure.

Of course, according to what Kou Xuan has experienced over the years, the tenderness and purity on her face are naturally just a unique temperament that she seduces people; her black eyes looked at Shen Huai, and it seemed that she had not yet come back to her senses from the surprise of seeing Shen Huai at first sight.

When Kou Xuan followed Yang Lili, he had lived with Sun Yalin for a while and his relationship was naturally close. Seeing Kou Xuan breaking out recklessly, Sun Yalin asked: "Who is following you behind, running out like a fire with her butt? She scared us."

Kou Xuan said indignantly: "Baohe people were eating in the garden in the west, shouting loudly, like nouveau riche, and they wanted to drive them away..."

Sun Yalin smiled and knew that Yu Wei bought a house in Zhuyuan and moved in. The so-called Baohe people in Kou Xuan probably meant Yu Wei. They stood in front of Yuemen and didn't hear anyone shouting inside.

At this time, a middle-aged woman chased you out of it. She didn't recognize Chen Huai, Chen Dan and others. Seeing Kou Xuan there, she called her, "Xiaoxuan, your birthday today, your mother invited us to dinner, and she also put some thoughts into it. She gave you a gift, and it would be fine if you didn't want to accept it, and you couldn't throw the thing to the ground and leave..."

"No one cares about her doing this, and she doesn't have to pay attention to me," Kou Xuan's pretty face tensed up, and she was filled with chills, and said to the middle-aged woman, "Aunt, don't worry about me, either."

Chen Huai then remembered that this middle-aged woman was also from Meixi Town and was Kou Xuan's aunt. However, she had never met him and could not recognize her. Kou Xuan's relationship with her aunt was also very ordinary, which was related to the fact that Mr. Kou had no money to treat and died of illness. Chen Huai did not expect that Yu Wei could not restore her normal relationship with Kou Xuan, but thought of taking a roundabout way.

Chen Huai didn't want to get involved in the matter between Yu Wei and Kou Xuan and his daughter. He took the lead in walking into the corridor and threw Kou Xuan there to get involved with her aunt. They went to Linshui's pavilion to have dinner, but Kou Xuan followed him from behind and said, "Today is really my birthday..."

Chen Huai took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair. Seeing Kou Xuan's eyes with a little grievance, his tone of speech was very resentful. He knew that she was so upset by her mother, and she was a little emotional. He smiled and said, "When we eat later, we didn't prepare any gifts for you except asking the kitchen to give you a bowl of noodles."

Chen Dan put his hand on Kou Xuan's shoulder and asked her to sit down for dinner. He said, "Xiao Li was not going to prepare for the exam. She was going to come back. She had given all the gifts to me in the office. I'll give them to you later. I also asked me to prepare a cake, but I didn't let you know..." Chen Dan knew Kou Xuan's birthday today, but she didn't care about the daily management of Shangxi Garden now, nor did she know that Yu Wei invited relatives and friends in Donghua to come here today to celebrate Kou Xuan's birthday with reasons.

"So, it's a coincidence that we came here to have dinner today." Chen Huai sat down with a smile.

Kou Xuan sat down and she wouldn't be able to settle here. Sure enough, after a while, Yu Wei came over in high heels. From her beautiful face with a faint smile, it was really impossible to tell that she had just had an argument with Kou Xuan.

"I heard from Kou Xuan, my aunt, that's what I guess, Secretary Chen, you came to have dinner. I didn't expect Miss Sun to be there too..." Yu Wei pushed the door and walked in, smiled enthusiastically and greeted her.

Yu Wei experienced her first marriage when she was a girl. She was only eighteen years old when she gave birth to Kou Xuan. She was not yet forty. Although she was considered a middle-aged woman, her delicate and fair face was as smooth as a freshly-skinned egg, with her eyebrows and eyes, and she looked like a beautiful woman in her early thirties.

After the drunken incident last year, although the old story of Yu Wei abandoning her husband and daughter did not spread widely, it was no secret in the Gu family, but it did not cause any trouble.

Behind this, in addition to Mei Gang and Yu Wei's cooperation with Yu Wei to strengthen control over Baohe Shipping, it is related to Gu Zhengyuan, who is still alive in the hospital, who believes in Yu Wei - this woman really has the capital to deceive the old man.

Chen Huai used to think that among women like the charming and familiarity, He Yuelian had already achieved the ultimate goal, but he didn't expect that Yu Wei would be even better.

Everyone is in a cooperative relationship. Seeing Yu Wei come in, Kou Xuan has a cold face. Without looking at her mother, Chen Huai can no longer be arrogant. She sits motionless and stands up and asks with a smile: "Mr. Yu is having dinner here today, but it's a coincidence."

Yu Wei abandoned Hu Lin and chose to be separated from Meigang and Jingjing. She received sufficient financial support as soon as the autumn of last year.

Baohe's shipbuilding base in Xipizha has been delayed for nearly two years due to lack of construction funds. Once funds are injected, the construction will be started immediately. As well as some business adjustments, it has now begun to take orders and prepare to put into production.

Baohe Shipping Industry has been destroyed by the Asian financial crisis and has given up its previous expansion strategy. Its shipyard at Xipizha will be the largest production base of Baohe Shipping Industry. It is a move that Yu Wei has completely gained a foothold in Baohe Shipping Industry and cannot be missed. Yu Wei will stay in Donghua for more time after the new year - this is also an important reason why she bought a shopping property in Zhuyuan.

However, this brought new troubles to Kou Xuan. Yu Wei had more time to come and pester her. After she opened it, she was not afraid that the Gu family would force her to use her old things.

Yu Wei saw that her daughter's face was wrong and knew that if she didn't leave, she would be afraid that the atmosphere would be broken and she would not bother her here and leave.

But when Yu Wei walked out of the box, she couldn't help looking back. Seeing Chen Dan, Chen Huai was talking to Kou Xuan in the pavilion, as if she was trying to persuade her.

Over the years, some things have not been known to outsiders - even Qi Jingyao can only guess roughly that Chen Huai used Yang Lili to overthrow Britain, but he was not sure about the key role Kou Xuan played in it. Kou Xuan used a pseudonym in the Emperor, and later he did not meet Dai Yi, Gao Xiaohu and others, so some things were hidden and became secrets.

Yu Wei asked in every way, but she couldn't figure out all the pictures over the years. Some things were not even understood by Kou Xuan's aunt in Meixi.

She only knew that after Mr. Kou passed away, Kou Xuan did not learn well and was mingling in various places. Seeing that she had a close relationship with Chen Huai, she thought that her body had long been occupied by Chen Huai. At first, she thought Kou Xuan was one of Chen Huai's many lovers, but now she could not rule out this speculation. Otherwise, what qualifications would Kou Xuan have to sit at the same table with Chen Huai, Sun Yalin and the others to have dinner?

However, in the past two years, Kou Xuan returned to school and went to Shangxiyuan for internship after the New Year. She also started working at the grassroots level. She couldn't tell that she was being spoiled as a canary in a cage. This made Yu Wei feel confused again.

Yu Wei walked out with doubts hidden.

Except for the main building renovated by the yarn mill warehouse, Shangxi Garden is surrounded by seven or eight small courtyards. Without a waiter, Yu Wei was worried and took two more steps, then she took the wrong path, circled twice, and went around the front hall.

When I arrived at the front hall, I remembered that Yu Wei went to the garden west from the side door, and stood under an old elm tree built in the courtyard wall. She was talking to someone behind her back:

"I have already arrived in Shangxi Garden. I think there are some things I still have to talk about with Chen Huai..."

Yu Wei didn't know who this young woman was, and she had something to pick and talk to Chen Huai.

Perhaps hearing footsteps and feeling someone coming in, Xie Zhi turned around and was stunned when she saw Yu Wei. After a while, she thought of saying hello to Yu Wei.

Yu Wei didn't think it would be Xie Haicheng's daughter and Song Hongqi's wife Xie Zhi.

Yu Wei has also heard of many conflicts within the Song Dynasty.

Some winds ran faster than four-legged horses.

In just two or three days, Song Bingsheng said that Chen Huai was young and lacked experience, and refused to promote Chen Huai and member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee. It is no secret that Yu Wei's level is a crowd.

During this period, there was a saying that Chen Huai might be transferred to the province for a job, and Yu Wei also vaguely felt that Chen Huai might indeed leave Donghua this time.

Yu Wei thought to herself, what is Xie Zhi going to do with Chen Huai? Could it be that it has something to do with this?

"Ms. Xie is coming to find Secretary Chen. He is eating in the pavilion beside the water..." Yu Wei pointed at him and said to Xie Zhi with a smile, as if she was really not interested in what Xie Zhi had just talked to someone else.

Xie Zhi drove past Zhuyuan and saw Sun Yalin and Chen Huai's car parked together. She guessed that Chen Huai was in Shangxi Garden, but she didn't just go to see him. Even if she walked into Shangxi Garden, she was still a little hesitant.

He accidentally asked Yu Wei to meet him, and Xie Zhi couldn't retreat. He nodded and greeted Yu Wei with a normal expression: "Mr. Yu is having dinner here too?"

"Yes, invite some relatives from my hometown to dinner." Yu Wei didn't know that Xie Zhiqing didn't know whether she and Kou Xuan were mother-daughter relationships, but when she thought that this relationship was exposed to everyone, she was very embarrassed to call her. After he greeted her, she walked into the yard where she was dining, and ignored whether Xie Zhi was looking for Chen Huai.
