Chapter 1031 After I Die, Don't Care About the Flood
August 4th, Li Dong's third day in Beijing.
During the day, I went to several shopping malls in the distance, and at night, Zhou Yue and Wu Qingping treated guests to dinner.
I didn't find any clubs or clubs, just a simple restaurant.
The environment is good, and the sound of an unknown piano is rippling in the restaurant, which makes people feel extremely relieved.
Li Dong and Shen Qian sat on one side, while Zhou Yue and Wu Qingping sat opposite.
This young man always kept a smile, which made people naturally have some good feelings.
This is the second meeting with Wu Qingping.
At the beginning of the year, Li Dong came to the capital to see him once. At that time, he and Zhou Yue were shopping and happened to meet him on the road.
However, the two did not communicate at the time, not even their names.
Taking a sip of the red wine, Wu Qingping smiled and said in a calm tone: "Li Dong, calling Mr. Li is a bit of an honor, how about you and me calling him by his first name?"
Li Dong held up his wine glass to signal, and said with a smile: "Just call me by my name, and I will call you by your name too. Otherwise, I will be awkward if I call you Young Master Wu."
Wu Qingping laughed, shook his head lightly and said, "No big or small, you call me Qingping, I call you Li Dong, don't be too awkward."
"Okay, listen to you."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, which broke the strangeness.
Zhou Yue on the side also communicated with Shen Qian, sharing methods of facial maintenance and the types of cosmetics they usually use. The atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yue said to Li Dong: "Li Dong, I will get married in October, are you free to come to the wedding?"
"marry?"
Li Dong was slightly surprised, but soon relieved.
Wu Qingping and Zhou Yue are not students anymore, and Wu Qingping has entered the officialdom now, the sooner the marriage is settled, the more help he will have.
Although he is talking with Zhou Yue now, he is not the son-in-law of the Zhou family after all.
Even if the members of the Zhou family wanted to contribute, they would not contribute at this time.
When the two parties get married, it is a family.
Li Dong didn't know much about the Zhou family's situation, but he knew that Mr. Zhou seemed to like Zhou Yue a lot.
Coupled with Wu Qingping's extraordinary status, the Zhou family will definitely invest heavily in Wu Qingping in the future.
So it is not surprising that the two are getting married now.
Zhou Yue smiled sweetly and said, "Well, actually, I don't really want to get married so early, but Qingping said to get married early and enjoy the world of two people earlier, so I agreed."
Wu Qingping on the side chuckled lightly, and gave Zhou Yue a doting look.
Seeing that the two are in love with each other, Li Dong joked: "It's not as good as getting married with a son. I'm afraid that after the wedding, I'm going to drink the full moon wine after a while. This is the rhythm of receiving double gifts."
Zhou Yue laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about this, besides, you are the richest man now, do you still care about the red envelope money?
I don't need to accept other people's red envelopes, but I will accept yours, Li Dong's. "
"Then you have to be careful and I will report you."
Li Dong continued to make jokes, but he acquiesced in attending Zhou Yue's wedding.
The juniors of Zhou and Wu's two families got married and held a wedding, which is not something ordinary people are qualified to attend.
Being invited is also an affirmation of Li Dong's identity.
Li Dong knew that the wedding of these two families would definitely not be too ostentatious, and it was likely that the two families plus their relatives and friends had a meal together and it was over.
At this time Zhou Yue and Wu Qingping took the initiative to invite him, no matter what, this face must be given.
As for Shen Qian, Zhou Yue didn't take the initiative to mention it.
Shen Qian's decision to go depends on Du Anmin's will.
Sometimes, the officialdom is so complicated, sometimes Shen Qian can't represent Du Anmin, but sometimes she can represent Du Anmin.
The invitations, the two will definitely send them over.
But whether to come or not depends on their own wishes.
Some people will go, some will let their younger generation pass, and some may just follow the ceremony but not go, these are all different expressions.
Outsiders can't see it, but they can simply judge their respective camps through these actions.
When Zhou Yue said she was getting married, Shen Qian smiled and said, "Congratulations, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years in advance."
Zhou Yue smiled and said, "Thank you."
He only said thank you, but did not say congratulations to Shen Qian, nor did he wish her an early marriage.
Zhou Yue's attitude towards Shen Qian is still somewhat complicated.
She is Qin Yuhan's classmate, and she also met Li Dong through Qin Yuhan.
Although she knew that Shen Qian was more valuable than Qin Yuhan, but she was still a fresh graduate after all, so she couldn't do that kind of profit-only theory.
If it were someone from the older generation, I'm afraid they would have to make fun of Li Dong and Shen Qian at this time.
After all, the matter of getting married hasn't started yet, and the few of them just brushed it off.
Soon, Li Dong chatted with Wu Qingping.
After a few simple questions, Li Dong found out that Wu Qingping is now working in Longyou.
Of course, it's not the provincial capital, but working in Tianshui, which is under the jurisdiction of Longyou.
Many people may not know about Tianshui, but there are famous Maijishan Grottoes, Shuiliandong Grottoes, Fuxi Temple...
It sounds like Tianshui should develop well.
After all, there are many scenic spots, and the development of tourism is enough for the people of Tianshui to eat and drink.
However, the actual situation is not the case.
The northwest region has been unable to keep up with the pace of national development over the years.
The country's focus is on the coastal areas. The coastal areas are well developed, and then the central areas are developed. The old industrial areas in Northeast China still need to be revitalized.
As for the Northwest, wait a little longer.
There is no emphasis on resources, coupled with environmental and traffic restrictions, although the Northwest region has a long history, it is now far behind.
Wu Qingping is working there now, not a high position, the deputy secretary of a remote town.
The starting point is not high, at the sub-department level, and many ordinary civil servants who graduated from postgraduates may also start with a sub-department.
But that's okay, it's stable enough, and it doesn't attract attention.
National deputy department-level cadres, that is calculated in millions, who would pay attention to the deputy secretary of a remote town.
Wu Qingping wasn't dissatisfied when he mentioned this, but rather he said happily: "Tianshui is actually quite good, and it's not as poor and backward as outsiders imagined, and it's not the yellow sand that you imagined.
Known as Longshang Jiangnan, it has a mild climate.
The highest temperature in the southern region is less than 25°C throughout the year, and the coldest temperature will not exceed -5°C below zero. It is a good place for tourism and summer vacation.
Moreover, there are many scenic spots in Tianshui, and the number of tourists received every year exceeds 8 million.
Tianshui is also rich in mineral resources and forestry resources...
In terms of transportation, the Longhai Railway runs through the whole territory, and the G30 Expressway is also under construction and will be fully open to traffic soon.
In addition, there are several national highways running through the east and west.
The passenger throughput of Tianshui exceeds 30% of that of the whole province.
Freight volume also accounts for more than 28% of the province.
In Longyou, including the entire northwest region, Tianshui has an excellent location and is developing rapidly. The city attaches great importance to the development of the tertiary industry.
For the entry of well-known brands, the city will give a series of preferential policies.
If you want to build a complete Northwest logistics supply chain, I think Tianshui is very good and suitable.
Not only logistics, Tianshui also has a complete agricultural trade base, and the developer of Shangchao is actually unique. "
In the beginning, Li Dong just asked casually out of curiosity.
Wu Qingping seemed to be just talking casually.
But while talking, this guy digressed.
Li Dong glanced at him with a smile, and said after a while: "Qing Ping, I don't know, I just heard these words, I'm afraid I thought you went to Tianshui to become the mayor.
If others find out that you are just a deputy secretary of the township below and you are in charge of party building, what do you think people will think? "
Wu Qingping also laughed and said, "Does the dog take the mouse?
But I don't agree with this. It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.
Besides, it is also for the construction of Tianshui.
There is a certain gap in the northwest compared with the eastern coastal areas and central areas, which is inevitable.
However, the Northwest is also an important place in China, and sooner or later the country will vigorously develop the Northwest.
Li Dong, think about it? "
Li Dong waved his hand and said: "I don't think about these things for now, the Northwest region is not in my development plan yet.
But if one day, I really go to the Northwest to develop, I will definitely give priority to your side. "
Wu Qingping won't stay in Longyou for too long, but it won't be short either.
He just came out to practice, and he won't leave if he doesn't reach the county level. Frequent transfers are not a good thing.
Even if everything goes well, it will take at least three to five years to reach the county level, so Li Dong said that he will consider his side in the future.
Wu Qingping wasn't surprised either. Today was an early ambush.
Li Dongzhen wants to put the Northwest Center of Yuanfang Logistics in Tianshui, and then invest in supermarkets in Tianshui, which is also a great achievement for Tianshui.
Today, the entire Tianshui, the annual GDP is less than 20 billion.
Instead of comparing with the big bulls in the Shanghai stock market, let’s compare other relatively developed regions. For example, in southern Jiangsu, Suqian, the poorest and worst city last year, had a GDP of 54 billion.
Of course, Sunan is already rich, so it's normal to be a little different than this.
Compared with Jiangbei, Jiangbei is relatively backward in the central region.
But among all the prefectures and cities in Jiangbei, there is only one with a GDP of less than 20 billion in 2007.
Don't forget, Tianshui is a relatively affluent area in Longyou.
Hundred billion group, in coastal areas, may not be too conspicuous.
Put it in the northwest region, that is a super big group.
The construction of Yuanfang Logistics Northwest Center in Tianshui will cost at least several billion yuan. If the supermarket invests a little more, it will cost 3 billion yuan, accounting for one-seventh of Tianshui's annual GDP.
And if you really want to go to a distant place, it will definitely drive the local economic development.
Wu Qingping's credit for introducing him from afar is enough for him to worry about having no credit for two or three years.
Of course, Li Dong also understands this. Investing in Wu Qingping in advance now is better than icing on the cake in the future.
But Wu Qingping was only in his early 20s, and he didn't show too much ability.
At this time, for Wu Qingping's sake, disrupting his plan and investing billions of dollars, Li Dong would not make such a bet.
If he really wanted to, he would have invested in Jia Wenhao long ago.
Jia Wenhao approached him several times for the development of the new city, hoping that Li Dong's Dongyu real estate would be able to enter, and even tried to win over him several times through Xu Shengzhe.
In the end, Li Dong also invested in a shopping mall and did nothing else.
Li Dong doesn't like to do this kind of thing that invests now and reaps in the future.
Who can say clearly what will happen ten years or even decades later.
Maybe he won't be around in a few decades, so I don't bother to care about it, and the most important thing is to pay close attention to the present.
Li Dong refused, Wu Qingping smiled and stopped talking.
Several people continued to chat for a while, talking about gossip and gossip, they didn't even talk about the matter of Li Dong and Sun's family yesterday, for fear of causing embarrassment.
After eating a meal for about two hours, several people separated.
...
out of the restaurant.
Wu Qingping and Zhou Yue did not rush home by car, but held hands and swayed on the road.
After walking for a while, Wu Qingping said with a smile: "Li Dong, I've always heard that he is very bold, but now it seems that his reputation is a bit too real."
If you really want to be bold, you should have just responded.
At that time, not only can he gain the friendship of Wu Qingping, but also the friendship of the Wu family and even the Zhou family.
But in the end, Li Dong didn't agree.
Seeing this, Zhou Yue said softly: "He has his own considerations, don't worry about them.
Besides, the most important thing for you now is to lay a good foundation.
With regard to political achievements, at that stage, you don't need to say, we will all contribute.
It's fine if Li Dong doesn't go. There are so many domestic companies, and there are not a few people who want to make friends with us. "
Wu Qingping nodded and said: "That's the reason, but I'm a little disappointed. I didn't expect him to refuse, or I didn't expect him to refuse so simply."
Even if the average person refuses, they will not say that on the spot, at least they have to think carefully before giving the result.
Li Dong was fine, so he refused directly.
Seeing that her fiancé was not happy, Zhou Yue comforted her, "He's just like this, he is independent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offended so many people, let alone come to this point at this age.
In fact, the business world and the political world are similar, both are battlefields.
He was able to kill him in a few years, maybe because of his personality, don't hold grudges, it's unnecessary. "
"That's not true." Wu Qingping said with a flat smile, "I'm not that kind of person. Besides, Grandpa and Grandpa Zhou think Li Dong is good, and I can't deny Grandpa's opinion just because of this."
"Well, that's the best way."
Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that her fiancé and Li Dong would meet.
The Zhou family has a good relationship with Li Dong, and my grandfather and father have always said to be good friends with Li Dong.
If it was because her fiancé was dissatisfied, she would have a hard time dealing with herself in the future.
...
at the same time.
Shen Qian also asked: "Aren't you afraid of offending people if you refuse so simply?"
Li Dong said casually: "It will take at least thirty years for him to wake up, so don't worry about it. We'll talk about what happened thirty years later, and besides, he can't represent the Wu family."
On the Wu family's side, although Li Dong didn't know the specific situation, he also knew that the old man had more than one grandson.
Wu Qingping can only represent Wu Qingping, not too many people.
If Li Dong turned against Li Dong because of his refusal to invest, the Wu family would have given up on him without Li Dong saying anything.
Unlike the Sun family, Mr. Sun is just such a son, and he has no choice but to give up.
No matter how big the family is, the resources are limited. It would be nice to have wealth for the ineffective descendants. Who would put in great effort to cultivate them.
