Chapter 1067 [A long way to go] (1)
Official Zhang happily escaped from Xinxiangyuan Hotel. There were not many people who dared to joke like this with Liu Yanhong, deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, in Pinghai.
When thinking about meeting Yuan and Sakiko, Zhang Daren was still very conflicted. To be fair, he looked forward to meeting Yuan and Sakiko. Every time he met Yuan and Sakiko, he would feel that Gu Jiatong was resurrected. However, after meeting Yuan and Sakiko, he would feel empty inside again, which would inevitably arouse all the scenes he had with Gu Jiatong in the past. It was really sad to see him once.
Before going to Baidao, Zhang Yang thought about this matter thoroughly. Xiao Guocheng invited him to meet him not for chatting. He is now working with Yuan and Sakiko to arrange this meeting, which is also to further communicate with Zhang Yang about the tendering of Fulong Port.
Everything was indeed as Zhang Yang expected. This meeting was proposed by Shin Kazuko. Shin Kazuko's outfit today somewhat subverted Zhang Yang's impression of her past. She wore a beige suit and had a strong neutral temperament. Her hair was hidden under the cap, but the charm of a woman still could not be completely hidden.
When Zhang Yang arrived, she and Xiao Guocheng were sitting under the umbrella on the beach talking about something. In such a beautiful sunny weather, it is indeed a great time to enjoy the fresh air outdoors.
Xiao Guocheng saw Zhang Yang smiling and stood up: "Secretary Zhang, here you are here!"
Zhang Yang nodded and shook hands with Xiao Guocheng with a smile.
Yuan and Yukiko also stood up and smiled at Zhang Yang. Her smile made Zhang Yang feel a sense of distance. He silently told himself that it was not Gu Jiatong in front of him, otherwise such strangeness would not appear in her eyes.
After the three of them sat down, Xiao Guocheng asked someone to add a cup of tea to Zhang Yang. He whispered: "Secretary Zhang, is it a matter of re-introduction to the old thing today or about Fulong Port?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, we have discussed this before. The investment promotion office is currently working on a bidding plan. It will be released in the next two days. Please be careful not to be impatient."
Xiao Guocheng smiled and said, "It's not that I'm impatient. Today, Mrs. Yuanhe specially wanted to meet Secretary Zhang and discuss her future investment plan with Secretary Zhang."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Okay!" His eyes fell on Yuanwa Yukiko's face.
Moto and Sakiko smiled slightly.
Xiao Guocheng's cell phone rang, and he stood up and said, "Let's talk, I am only responsible for investment in Fulong Port's investment reconstruction plan, and I don't understand professional issues."
Zhang Yang looked at Xiao Guocheng far away and couldn't help but laugh.
Yuanwa Sakiko said, "What did Secretary Zhang laugh at?"
Zhang Yang said: "Mrs. Yuanhe wants to find me. Why don't you come here directly? Instead, you have to pass through Mr. Xiao?"
Sora Kazuko said: "Because my subordinates had offended Mr. Zhang before, I was worried that Mr. Zhang would be in a grudge and might not be willing to give me a chance to discuss it in person."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "In the eyes of my wife, is my heart so narrow?"
Yuanwa Yukiko shook her head and said, "I'm not saying that Secretary Zhang is narrow-minded. In fact, my unscrupulous subordinates have repeatedly asked for trouble, and Yukiko feels very sorry."
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "Madam, you don't need to be sorry. Hattori attacked me all his life and was not instructed by his wife, so you don't need to take responsibility for this."
Motowa Yukiko sighed and said, "I later learned about the festival between the Hattori family and Ah. Speaking of which, I was negligent."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, not to mention that I didn't suffer any losses."
Sorawa Sakiko said: "Secretary Zhang's martial arts are really amazing."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "There are people outside of the world. There are so many hidden masters. My skills are only enough to protect myself."
"Secretary Zhang is really modest."
Zhang Yang turned the conversation to the point: "What is it about Mrs. Yuanhe who is looking for me?"
Motowa Sakiko said: "I heard that Xingyue Group sent representatives here and were interested in investing in Fulong Port?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The person has arrived and is preparing to participate in the bidding."
Motowa Sakiko said: "I am forgiving, I think Secretary Zhang's approach is meaningless."
Zhang Yang looked at her with a smile, waiting quietly for her next sentence.
Yuanwa Sakiko said: "The logistics center and the freight port themselves should rely on each other. If it can be managed and allocated under unified management, its efficiency is obvious. If it belongs to the two companies, then there will inevitably be problems in the cooperation and connection between the two companies. Since Secretary Zhang handed over the logistics center to Mr. Xiao, why did he take out Fulong Port to bid separately? This is something I can't understand."
Zhang Yang said: "I don't understand business matters. There are dedicated people responsible for the specific affairs of the bonded area. At present, our external investment and public bidding work are responsible for the investment promotion office."
Motowa Sakiko said: "I just make a suggestion. From a long-term perspective, Fulong Port and the logistics center should be managed in a unified manner."
Zhang Yang said: "Mr. Xiao is working on the logistics center. Even if he handed over Fulong Port to him, he is still seeking cooperation with the people. Mr. Xiao has no experience in port construction and management."
Motowa Sakiko said: "We have always been happy in cooperation."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao and the friends cooperate happily, and they can cooperate happily like others. I still say the same thing, open bidding and fair competition."
Yuanwa Yukiko nodded: "Mr. Zhang is so selfless!"
Official Zhang smiled and said, "I still have this level."
After dinner, Yuan and Yukiko left first, and Xiao Guocheng stayed at Zhang Yang for a while.
Zhang Yang was still very harmonious with Xiao Guocheng in private. Zhang Yang said a little puzzled: "Mr. Xiao, isn't this meeting a bit too deliberate? Since you know that Fulong Port will definitely have a public bidding, why should you arrange for Yuan and Yukiko to repeat this matter with me?"
Xiao Guocheng said: "We have already understood the content of the Xingyue Bidding Plan. They are indeed more favorable than us in terms of conditions, so Yuan and Yukiko want to talk to you in person and see your attitude."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "My attitude?"
Xiao Guocheng nodded and said, "The key to whether any business behavior can be successful is to pay attention to every detail."
Zhang Yang said: "Xingyue Group is also my old relationship. I try to be impartial in this matter."
Xiao Guocheng smiled and said, "I believe it."
Zhang Yang said: "I still don't understand what the purpose of her meeting with me is?"
Xiao Guocheng said cunningly: "I don't know either. Mrs. Yuanhe hides things very deeply. Even if I ask her, she may not be willing to say it."
Zhang Yang said: "Mr. Xiao has known her for a long time?"
Xiao Guocheng shook his head and said, "It's still through Maggie. I had no intention of the port project, but after reading her plan, I found that the port project has great potential. However, seeing the competition is so fierce, I started to give up again."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "The tender has not started yet, are you starting to be discouraged?"
Xiao Guocheng said: "It's not a discouragement. The result of competition will only keep lowering profits. Even if we work hard to successfully bid, in the end, there is little profit left. What's the point of doing it?"
Zhang Yang said: "No one can do a loss-making business."
Xiao Guocheng said: "The one who loses money will never be the dealer, so in front of the people, we businessmen will always be weak."
Official Zhang laughed loudly and laughed for a while before stopping: "Mr. Xiao means we are the real dealer?"
Xiao Guocheng smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Yang said: "Land belongs to the state. We are just taking care of all this for the state. Mr. Xiao once said that being an official is also a kind of business. If I lose money in the operation of the country's things, then I will be an incompetent official."
Xiao Guocheng said: "I will be a good official!"
Zhang Yang said: "Actually, I find it too general to define an official with good or bad. The standard for evaluating an official should be whether his business can be successful. On the basis of ensuring economic interests, you should get social benefits as much as possible. If both can be achieved, then he can be considered a good official. I don't know if I have this ability, but I will try my best to do it."
Xiao Guocheng said: "I am very pragmatic, unlike most officials in Beigang."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao knows the leadership of Beigang very well?"
Xiao Guocheng said: "Learn some."
Zhang Yang said: "What does Mr. Xiao think of the political development of Beigang?"
Xiao Guocheng smiled and said, "Secretary Zhang, I should be asking you about this."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I can answer from Binhai."
Xiao Guocheng said: "As a businessman, of course I hope that the political arena of Beigang will be calm. Whether it is a businessman or a commoner, whether it is a big business or a small business, we are all just fish and shrimps, living in the sea area of Beigang. If there are strong winds and waves, no one will have to eat. Maybe they will lose their lives because of this storm. Why bother?"
Zhang Yang said: "Talking with Mr. Xiao always allows me to learn a lot."
Xiao Guocheng said: "All three people must have my teacher, and everyone has something worth learning from."
Gong Qiwei took only three days to hand over all the work of Nancy. Of course, this is related to the close cooperation of Nancy's leadership. Gong Qiwei does not intend to let his family go to Beigang together. His wife Yang Ning has a job and his daughter Gong Yaxin is studying in Nancy. What's more, it seems that it is not peaceful in Beigang.
Gong Qiwei's first stop was Dongjiang. According to the request of the Organization Minister Jiao Naiwang, he first reported to the province. Then Jiao Naiwang would accompany him to Beigang to take office in person.
After Gong Qiwei completed the relevant procedures at the Provincial Organization Department, Jiao Naiwang asked him to go to the Provincial Party Secretary’s Office, and Provincial Party Secretary Song Huaiming was waiting for him there.
Gong Qiwei knew that the reason he was sent to Beigang this time was because Secretary Song of the Provincial Party Committee personally named him, which demonstrated Song Huaiming's respect for him. He did have some words to face Song Huaiming and said that he wanted to understand Secretary Song's true intention to send him to Beigang through this meeting.
Song Huaiming welcomed Gong Qiwei's arrival. He has always admired Gong Qiwei's hard-working cadres. Unlike Jiang Honggang who said more and did less, Gong Qiwei did what he said and was extremely courageous. At that time, Gong Qiwei dared to fight against him head-on, which proved Gong Qiwei's strong personality.
A cadre with a strong personality may not be a good cadre, but most cadres without personality are moderate and ordinary.
