Chapter 478: Journey to the Central Plains
It was late at night, and Chen Sansheng was still awake. He lit a cigarette and quietly thought about the future. Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door, four long and two short, repeated three times.
His eyes lit up and he stood up and opened the door. The door opened and Zhang Jun stood outside with a smile and said: "Brother, do you have anything to do with me?"
It turned out that the main reason why Zhang Jun came to the Central Plains was that he received a call from Chen Sansheng. Knowing that this eldest brother was also in the Central Plains, he naturally wanted to come and take a look.
Chen Sansheng smiled "haha": "Should I call you Fugui now, or Zhang Jun?"
Zhang Jun said seriously: "Of course it is wealth. You will always be the eldest brother and I will always be the younger brother."
Chen Sansheng said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I last saw you. You're still the same, but I'm getting older."
Zhang Jun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will ensure that you live to be a hundred years old."
Chen Sansheng also laughed. He pulled Zhang Jun to sit down and said, "Brother, I might go to the northwest."
Zhang Jun was stunned: "Going to the northwest? Why?"
"The people above want to train me, and of course this is a difficult test. The economy in the northwest is underdeveloped, but the situation is very complex and severe. If I do well, I will not only lay a foundation in the military, but also have the opportunity to be promoted to the central government. "Chen Sansheng said calmly.
Zhang Jun understood that if an official in China wanted to join the cabinet and become the prime minister, it would be impossible without decades of hard work in the officialdom. Chen Sansheng is now in his forties and is the youngest provincial Party committee secretary. This is the recognition given to him by his superiors. If he can pass the test, he will surely rise to prominence in the future.
He mused: "The environment in the northwest is indeed complex, and terrorist forces are very arrogant. It seems that some time ago, some people went to Kyoto to engage in terrorist activities. Going to such a place is indeed a test."
At this point, he asked: "Brother, do you feel that your superiors asked you to go to the northwest just because of this terrorist activity?"
Chen Sansheng shook his head: "Of course not. The upgraded version of the Northwest Development, as well as people's livelihood issues and public security issues all need to be resolved."
Zhang Jun obviously did not have the ability to rule the world. He smiled when he heard this and said, "This trivial matter must not be a problem for my elder brother."
A calm person like Chen Sansheng couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Your idea is too simple, this place is very complicated."
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Jun said: "Brother, don't worry, my brothers in the northwest will help you with anti-terrorism and other matters. Economically, it's not a problem. Politically, I can give some advice to a few cabinet ministers and let them Pay more attention to you."
Chen Sansheng smiled bitterly. Of course he knew Zhang Jun's energy, countless wealth, and unparalleled status. However, after hearing what Zhang Jun said, he remembered something. "
He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Zhang Jun.
The latter took it and looked through it, only to see the words "Northwest Plan" written on it. Next, he took a brief look at the content of the material, then shook his head and said: "Who came up with this? They actually want to transfer water from the south to the northwest, turn all deserts into oases, and build the world's largest solar power plant factory?"
Chen Sansheng smiled slightly and said: "This is the plan of an old academician. Even you said he is a lunatic. It seems that he is a bit crazy. But the idea is still good. I did some research and found that the solar energy resources in the northwest are indeed very large. It is rich, so it would be a good idea to use the desert and Gobi to build power plants. As for water transfer, there is so much water in the south, and it is suitable to transfer it to the northwest, but the investment is too large and the cycle is long. And as long as there is water , it will only be a matter of time before the northwest desert turns into an oasis.”
Zhang Jun touched his chin and said: "As for the power plant, I can actually invest in it. I have enough spare money, so even if the power plant doesn't make money, it doesn't matter. The problem is that water transfer is a big deal. I'm afraid it's a national plan, not an individual's. Can decide."
Chen Sansheng nodded: "I am just thinking about these things. Even if I want to do it, it will have to wait until I have a firm foothold in the northwest. In fact, there are three problems I face now. The first is the independent forces in the northwest and the various related parties. The second problem is the development of the northwest. In fact, the northwest is full of treasures, but there is a lack of funds and talents to develop it. The third point is the environmental problem. The environment in the northwest is harsh. This place cannot retain talents and the transportation is not convenient. If If things continue like this, the best we can do is carry out extensive development, and there won’t be any big achievements.”
Zhang Jun listened and said with a smile: "The first point is killing, whoever makes trouble will be killed; the second point is easy, you are short of money, I can invest, as long as the capital is guaranteed; the third point is actually money If we have money, we can resettle herders and have the courage to expel enterprises that damage the environment. In addition, money is needed for afforestation, grassland reconstruction, etc."
Chen Sansheng shook his head helplessly: "You, you talk about money, no wonder you have money." After saying that, he also smiled, "But you are right, in the final analysis, it is all about money."
Zhang Jun thought seriously for a moment and said: "It's too early to say this now. When my eldest brother goes to the northwest and establishes a firm foothold, I will send someone to talk to you. There are many high-tech companies under Tianxing Group. I could move them all to the northwest.”
"Thank you, brother." Chen Sansheng patted him on the shoulder, "But you are not helping me, you are helping the people in the northwest and the rejuvenation of our country."
Zhang Jun rolled his eyes. He didn't have such big ideals. He just did things when things happened.
After talking about important matters, Zhang Jun asked about the current situation of Chen's family. My godmother is in good health, but she keeps talking about him as her godson. Everything else at home is going well and there are no problems.
At the end of the sentence, Chen Sansheng suddenly said: "Brother, you are a person who does great things. I hope that you will never harm your nation and country at any time. Our nation is prone to many disasters, and it is rare to have such a disaster in hundreds of years." The opportunity for revival is hard-won.”
As soon as Zhang Jun saw that Chen Sansheng was going to teach him political lessons again, he quickly said: "Brother, don't worry, I know everything. By the way, how did your talks with the provinces in the Central Plains go this time?"
Chen Sansheng: "It went very smoothly. The business was mainly discussed by Mr. Bai. I only communicated on a political level. You have to ask her for details."
He was very concerned about this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have come in person. When he met Zhang Jun, he mainly talked about going to the northwest.
After some conversation, Zhang Jun left that night. The next day, he came to the hotel where Bai Lingxue was staying. I haven’t seen her for a while, and this woman’s temperament has improved a bit, and she has the bearing of a person in power.
Even an ordinary person, let alone Bai Lingxue, would have a huge change in temperament if he suddenly had hundreds of millions of assets. The current Fugui Group, with assets of hundreds of billions, is like a small country, and she is the king.
Bai Lingxue knew about Zhang Jun's arrival in advance, so she made careful preparations and ordered wine and food from the hotel. The wine is air-shipped from abroad. It has a history of more than 100 years and the price is as good as gold.
The dishes were cooked by the No. 1 chef in the northwest, and the chef also flew in just to cook for Zhang Jun alone.
When Zhang Jun entered the hotel and explained his identity, the hotel staff invited him to the room very politely.
Bai Lingxue received the call and stood at the door of the business suite to greet her. Ten subordinates stood behind her. All of them are smart and capable, and they are Bai Lingxue's right-hand assistants.
"Director Zhang!"
Zhang Jun walked to the door and was greeted respectfully by everyone. Bai Lingxue stood at the front with a slight smile on her face.
Zhang Jun smiled "hehe": "Hello everyone." Then he asked everyone to go back to the hall and sit down.
Having said that, no one else dared to sit down until he sat on the main seat, and they only sat with their buttocks half on the chair, sitting upright. Only Bai Lingxue relaxed and said with a smile: "Director Zhang has so many things to do, how can he have time to come to the Central Plains?"
Zhang Jun immediately made a joke: "I actually don't know Li Wanji."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses. Several of the male subordinates laughed out loud, while the female ones blushed and lowered their heads and laughed.
Bai Lingxue was slightly embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Jun continued: "I made a mistake, but I am indeed sensitive to the word 'Ri Li Wanji'. You may not know that Tianxing Group hired a Korean investment consultant. She is a woman in her forties, very... She’s amazing, but she’s a bit ugly, so her name is Li Wanji.”
At this time, even Bai Lingxue couldn't hold it in anymore. She pursed her lips and smiled softly, then said: "Director Zhang, when I learned that you were coming, I asked the hotel to prepare food and drinks. If Director Zhang doesn't have any instructions, why don't we just have a dinner? .”
Zhang Jun nodded: "Okay."
After the banquet started, everyone couldn't let go at first. However, Zhang Jun's attitude was calm, and after a few glasses of wine, these people gradually showed their true nature. The two male staff members and Zhang Jun drank so much that they all drank under the table.
Two female employees tried to get Zhang Jun drunk by exchanging one drink for three drinks, but they were also drunk. In the end, only Bai Lingxue was not drunk at the table because she drank the least and seemed to have a good drink capacity.
Although alcohol is harmful to the body, it can sometimes bring people closer together. Two strangers can talk to each other over a few glasses of wine and talk about anything.
Zhang Jun's expression was as usual, and he didn't look like he was drinking. He smiled and asked, "Lingxue, is your work going well recently?"
Although Bai Lingxue was not drunk, her face was flushed and she looked very delicate. She sighed quietly: "I am a woman, managing such a large group, I feel very tired."
Zhang Jun nodded and said: "Yes, it's not easy for you. So you have to learn to rest, and let the people below do the specific things."
Bai Lingxue shook her head: "No, I have to do some things myself, otherwise I won't worry." Then she asked, "Director Zhang came to the Central Plains, he must have other things to do, right?"
"In addition to seeing you, I also want to see the King of Central Plains." He said.
Bai Lingxue's face changed slightly. She naturally knew the King of Central Plains, so she couldn't help but said: "Director Zhang, I have been in the Central Plains for two weeks, but I found that almost all the big shots in the Central Plains know the King of Central Plains and are extremely respectful to him."
"Of course." Zhang Jun said lightly, "He is not only the king of the Central Plains, but also the leader of Hongmen in mainland China."
