Chapter 864 First sight, parting unhappily
"Sir, there is something I want to ask you..." Xia said respectfully.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Compared with the past, the old man's temper is better than ever. "You don't have to be polite with me."
You're welcome. Although the old man has retired, his power is still there. I heard from Lian Ruohan that during the Spring Festival, there are more than a dozen provincial and ministerial senior officials, large and small, to visit the old man, which proves that his influence is still there, and there is still enough weight.
The prestige of the Wu family is not only a false name, but a real power-strength.
"One thing I don't understand is, how can I pass the test in Lang City? If I break the balance of Langshi, fight against evil, and be an executive deputy mayor, it is not enough. If I was just asked to open up the situation in Lang City, the current situation in Lang City has also established a delicate balance, but at present, my road seems to be still very long... The contradictions have come out. Only talking about economic construction and political struggle will not work in Lang City.
If I have to grasp both hands, I'm just a deputy.
"Haha." The old man smiled cheerfully and said, "If you come to Langshi, you can just stay at ease. Where did you get so many miscellaneous ideas? It's not good to think nonsense, which affects normal work. Well, let's not talk about it. Continue to work according to your own ideas. When the water comes to the end, you will know what kind of golden road ahead.
It means that he didn't say anything. Xia wanted to laugh helplessly. When the old man hung up the phone, he gently put the phone back in place, and his heart was calm.
The road ahead seemed to be confused, but in fact, there was still a glimmer of hope. At least the intervention of the Wu family made Xia figure out something. Lang City is about to turn from a popular entanglement of uncles, not only the entanglement of economic interests, but also the needs of geopolitics. Perhaps to a deeper level, Lang City is the epitome of the high-level struggle, and the victory or defeat determines the team and belonging in the future.
Step by step, Xia wants to shake his head, but people must stand in line above the officialdom, and the higher the level, the clearer the flag. Otherwise, it is inevitable that no one can escape the end, either drifting with the tide or going against the current. In short, in the face of major choices, we must make a statement with practical actions.
If one party is satisfied, I'm sure the other party will not be satisfied. The world will always be a world without opposition, and so will the officialdom. There are also times when we seek common help and save differences, but there are always times when we don't give in to each other in the face of major interests.
The competition on the winter field is the most forgiving. After all, there will always be only one competition!
Xia wanted to be alone in the room and meditated for a long time.
After two years, Lian Ruohan returned to the capital, and then sent back the news that Wei Xin's condition was not easy to be diagnosed in China and needed to go abroad for diagnosis and treatment.
Xia thought had a feeling of dizziness. What's wrong with Wei Xin? Does she really have an incurable disease? Although Lian Ruohan said that he would accompany Wei Xin to the United States in person, Xia Shen still had a deep sense of guilt in his heart. As the only woman who loved him deeply for two generations, he had just made up his mind to treat Wei Xin well in this life. Unexpectedly, the sky was not beautiful, and Wei Xin actually got the disease of ignorance. Such a Man, why is God so unfair to her?
Xia thought fell into deep depression for the first time in his life.
In a low mood, Xia wanted to agree to Chen's invitation to meet again, but he wanted to see what kind of face Sato could have!
The meeting was arranged in the most magnificent private room of the Caesar Hotel. What Xia didn't expect was that Chen Datou was also present.
After a period of rest, Chen Datou was in a much better state. When he saw Xia, he looked a little unnatural, timid, fear, and a trace of indescribable complex emotions.
Sato is similar to Xia's imagination. He is not tall, with small eyes, a shrewd and arrogant face. When he saw him come in, he just owed his body and even stood up to greet him.
Xia thought didn't care about some false gifts. He shook hands with Chen politely, and also shook hands with Chen Datou. Finally, under the introduction of Chen, he shook hands with Sato.
Sato stood up, bent down and nodded: "Hello, Mayor Xia, I, Naoichi Sato, "Please take good care!"
Japanese politeness is a habit, which does not necessarily mean that he must respect you. Xia wanted to patted Bai Sato's hand: "Mr. Sato, I've been in Lang City for almost half a year. We didn't meet until today. The process is a little tortuous and long."
Sato smiled dryly: "Mayor Xia is busy with his business, and I have been embarrassed to disturb you. You may also have a problem with me. Last time I invited Mr. Chen to invite me several times, but you refused to appreciate it. I remember when I invited Ai Qianji to dinner, the second time, Secretary Ai was so embarrassed.
The meaning of the words is to insinulate that Xia wants to be arrogant.
Xia wanted to smile: "Mr. Sato, Secretary Ai presides over the overall work of Lang City. I am different. I have my own division of labor, so it's not that I have a problem with you, but that there are not many places where we have a common language."
While inviting Xia to take a seat, Sato directly put forward the theme of today's meeting: "Mutual mayor, occupying paint is the only advantageous industry in Lang City. The municipal government should vigorously support it and find ways to expand its advantages, instead of introducing some unfriendly manufacturers to disrupt the market, and finally suffer damage. Lang City. The headquarters is not optimistic about the economic environment of Langshi in the future. Maybe the addition of j$ gold will not be optimistic..."
When you come up, you can give Xia Xiang a bad call, which means that if Xia wants to advocate another paint factory project, occupying the paint may shrink the investment fee, and may transfer the funds that should have been invested in Langshi to other places. Because there are several branches of Occupy Paint in China, and Lang City is not the only one.
Xia wants to know that Sato's threat is not enough. Tai City has convenient conditions that other cities do not have, such as the closest to Beijing and Tianjin, such as the low cost. Compared with the factories occupying the southern provinces, the cost of the production base in Lang City is the best controlled, the profit is the highest, and the sales volume is also the largest Yes, but it is inseparable from the unique geographical location of Lang City.
Businessmen pursue the largest profit ft and will not make any angry moves. In the businessman's dictionary, profits always come first, and they never fight in the face of profits.
Sato's words are just a common strategy to scare ignorant local officials. In front of Xiaxiang, it doesn't work at all.
Xia wants to wave her hand with an indifferent attitude: "I won't comment on the decision to occupy the headquarters of the paint. What businessmen are pursuing is the maximization of profits, so if you evaluate that the economic prospects of Lang City are not in line with the long-term development of occupying paint, I don't think the municipal party committee and the municipal government have to force it.
In business, human kindness is the most worthless embodiment, so I don't say much. Besides, there seems to be no mercy between me and Mr. Sato. Don't you think so, Mr. Chen?"
Xia wanted not only to avoid the heavy and skipped Sato's words, but also kicked the ball to Chen.
Chen has been silent, with a faint smile on his face. In fact, he also knew in his heart that this meeting would definitely not be easy.
A few years ago, after the full adoption of domestic brand paint in the university town project, several projects of Wang Qiangwei also successfully shipped several cars of paint from the south. Because Xia wanted to take action, the wind was very strong. Oh, Chen urged Sato to stop in time and stop secretly, otherwise it would be boring to hit the muzzle of the gun Sato rarely listened to Chen's advice and did not secretly obstruct it.
The influence of the Big Daddy City project is so extensive that it is known all over the city without publicity. It makes people who want to guess that occupying the paint must have offended important people, which has caused the current situation.
Later, Wang Qiangwei's project also announced the adoption of domestic brands in a high-profile way. At the same time, she intentionally or unintentionally promoted the low price and good quality of domestic brands of paint. In the future, her project will definitely use the paint of domestic brands to contribute to the rise of domestic brands.
is completely an indirect attack on the faction that occupies the paint.
It made Sato very angry and made Chen very dissatisfied. Zhanzhu Qi has dominated Lang City for many years, and the situation of a dominant family has not wavered at all. As soon as Xia wants to take action, the image of Zhan Zhu Qi has a bad negative impact in the minds of the citizens of Lang City.
Oh, although Chen also knows that whether it is Ai Chengwen or Gu Xiangguo, he must have a resolutely maintained attitude on the issue of occupying the paint. He will not hold the same view as Xia, but Xia thinks that this person is not only a political mind, but also a commercial means. If he is determined to break the dominant situation of occupying the What means will be used to make people defenseless?
It is not appropriate to cooperate with Chen, who has suffered several losses in Xiaxiang's confrontation. He has learned to be smart. Out of the starting point for Chen Datou, and also for the sake of the close cooperation between him and Sato, he has repeatedly advised Sato to compromise and not to force it.
Originally, Sato despised Xiaxiang, and did not think that Xiaxiang could make it difficult for him to have any ability as an executive deputy mayor. Unexpectedly, Xia wanted to act sideways, which made him feel a lot of pressure. Yes, Xia thought just mentioned the matter of the paint factory in the front, and did not take any further action, but the wind has spread, and the market has responded at the first time, accounting for about 10% of the sales of paint!
It's not that it really reduces sales, but the dealer's pick-up is not as active as before. Obviously, it is the news that Xia wants to release, as well as the University Town project and Wang Qiangwei's project have successfully broken the practice of occupying paint for the Langshi project, which has shaken the confidence of dealers, which is A crack was torn open.
The dealer is the guarantee of sales volume and the guarantee of market share. If the dealer's confidence is shaken, the foundation of the paint will be unstable.
Countless brands of paint that are staring at the Langshi market, in the current situation, which one does not take advantage of the deficiency? To be honest, Sato did have a trace of panic in his heart, because whether he was looking for Chen or Gu Xiangguo, neither of them had a good way to deal with it for the time being, because Xia thought that everything had been done on the surface, and it was reasonable, and it was not easy for anyone to find fault at all.
Before he met, Sato had already felt the means of Xia's strong and softness. The view he believed in was also to make money, so he accepted Chen's suggestion and was ready to have a good talk with Xia.
It's a talk, but Sato is still very dissatisfied with Xia Yu's practice of occupying the dark hand without saying hello, and he is not angry with Xia Xiang, so as soon as he meets him, he still wants to suppress Xia in momentum.
After just two moves, the current scene is a little embarrassing. Xiaxiang's Taiji massage wrist is also very smart, and he directly kicked Chen with the ball, which made Sato know Xia more.
Oh, Chen saw that Sato didn't listen to his advice and wanted to fight with Xia in the face, so he couldn't help but feel very annoyed. Sato is self-employed and has a strong sense of national superiority. He thinks that the Japanese are superior to the Chinese. Sometimes even he doesn't like his arrogance, but not liking his character does not mean discord
