Chapter 657: Chance Is Important

"It's really a good feeling to eat hot pot on a snowy day, and the whole family gathers together." Fan Heng said with a smile after everyone ate for a while.

"It's a pity that Fan Kang is not here, otherwise everyone would be dead." Fan Ting said with some regret.

"It's not a big problem. Just give it a call and they'll be back tomorrow." Fan Wubing picked up a piece of fatty meat and dipped it in the seasonings. He ate until oil squeaked out of his mouth and he felt great.

Fan Ting shook her head and said, "He is quite busy now. He is the major shareholder of three major portals. He is extremely busy now and needs to be involved in many things. Now that the New Year is closed again, how can he be free?"

"Has he eaten too much?" Fan Wubing shook his head unceremoniously and denied, "The advice I gave him was to participate in the stock market. How he does it is his business. He really regards himself as the controlling shareholder and takes care of everything. Do you want to ask?"

"That's not what you said. After all, he invested a large amount of money, and it was all his private money. Of course, he should be concerned about it. If he loses it, he will definitely not be able to live well for years to come." Fan Ting explained.

Speaking of this matter, Fan Wubing found it a bit ridiculous. Originally, Fan Kang always looked like a wealthy idler and was unwilling to take care of anything. This time Fan Wubing gave him a chance to invest in the Internet industry. Opportunity, Xiao pointed out the key points based on the advantages and disadvantages. As a result, Fan Kang actually became serious, otherwise he would not have gone to visit various websites on the New Year's Eve.

However, in Fan Wubing's view, this is unnecessary. Nowadays, various portal websites are stimulated by Nasdaq and are working hard to strengthen their own strength. How can they be lazy? According to the current development momentum of the three major portal websites, in addition to providing some necessary suggestions, there is no need to stay there all the time, otherwise it may interfere with other people's work and affect their enthusiasm.

While Zhang Mei was picking up food for Fan Wubing, she asked, "No, can the Standing Committee be elected only when a plenary meeting of the Central Committee is held? It's not a round-number meeting at this time. How can you Can I jump in line?"

Fan Wubing knew the inside story of what happened this time, so he answered on his behalf, "According to general circumstances, it is unlikely that he will be included in the standing committee list at this time, but now things happen for a reason."

The main reason is that Standing Committee member Xiang Gangyu is unable to see things due to illness.

Xiang Gangyu fell ill while he was serving as Executive Vice Premier of the State Council. It has been found to be pancreatic cancer. The old man persisted in his job until the last minute. At this time, he only stayed on the Standing Committee for two years. , seeing that time is running out.

For this reason, the top management needs to select a comrade with both ability and political integrity from among the committee members.

Naturally, it is not appropriate to make a high-profile announcement at this time, that is, a very simple piece of news. For example, Comrade Xiang Gangyu, a member of the Standing Committee, is seriously ill and cannot continue to handle relevant work. He resigned from the position of member of the Standing Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council. Comrade Fan Heng, a member of the Political Bureau, came in as a replacement and concurrently served as executive deputy prime minister.

The number of members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo within the party has not always been very fixed. In the early days of the founding of the party, there were no members at the first National Congress. At the Second National Congress, they were probably called Executive Members of the Central Bureau. There were five members. From the Third to Sixth National Congress, At that time, there were only five people, among whom it was not until the Fifth National Congress that they were called members of the Politburo Standing Committee. At the Seventh National Congress, there were six people, the Eighth National Congress had eleven people, the Ninth National Congress had only five people, the Tenth National Congress had eleven people, and at the Eleventh National Congress Eight people, six at the 12th National Congress, eight at the 13th National Congress, and seven at the 14th National Congress until now.

The members of the Standing Committee have different divisions of labor. Except for the No. 1 chief, who is fully responsible, the others are responsible for part of the work. For example, member of the Standing Committee Xiang Gangyu serves as the executive vice premier of the State Council. He is responsible for the executive work of the State Council and is in charge of finance, State-owned enterprises, production safety and other work. Of course, the word "executive" is usually not mentioned, but that is what it actually means. Generally speaking, he is also a strong contender for the next prime minister.

"It is a bit unexpected that Vice Premier Xiang is seriously ill now. Under such circumstances, it is suddenly necessary to select a comrade who is qualified to serve as a member of the Standing Committee and who is familiar with large state-owned enterprises and financial work, especially those who are relatively familiar with local practices. It's still a bit of a headache for the senior management to have comrades who know him well enough to take up this position," Fan Wubing explained to everyone, "So, there are really not many people who meet the qualifications, and my father is lucky enough to be qualified, and he looks good. outstanding."

Fan Heng smiled and nodded without making any rebuttal, which meant that he acquiesced that Fan Wubing's explanation was closer to reality.

In fact, since the comprehensive victory in the flood control work, the elimination of the long-standing disadvantages in Jiangnan Province, and the improvement of all wastes, the senior management has changed their views on him, but the original intention was to elect him three years later, when the election was changed. Standing Committee, but did not take into account the sudden serious illness of Vice Premier Xiang Gangyu. At this time, Fan Heng was suddenly summoned nervously and asked him to report on his work. That is to say, he did not want Vice Premier Xiang Gangyu's illness to affect the regular work of the State Council. .

After all, the reform of large state-owned enterprises is still a very sensitive matter. In many places, the reform of large state-owned enterprises still has not found a clear direction. There are many problems and they are very serious. If there are no more people to take the lead, it will be very troublesome.

After listening to Fan Wubing's explanation, Zhang Mei frowned again and said with some unhappiness, "This is how I got out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's nest again. I thought I could relax when I returned to the capital." A little bit, but if I become the executive deputy prime minister, I’m afraid I’ll be even busier and never see the light of day.”

Fan Ting also echoed, "That's true, but for now, dad's job is not easy. But since he is busy with work, and he becomes a member of the Standing Committee, his power will always be relatively greater, right?"

Song Qing interjected from the side, "Comparatively speaking, the smaller the leadership group, the greater the influence of the individuals in the group. For example, when deciding on the candidate for provincial party committee secretary, the Standing Committee has more than 10% of the voting rights, and is submitted by the Standing Committee After the establishment of the Politburo, individual members of the Politburo have less than 5% of the voting rights, and are even affected by the original opinions of the Standing Committee. If other decisions are submitted to the Central Committee for review, the influence of individual members of the Central Committee will be even smaller. For the secretary of the provincial party committee, the position of Central Committee member does not have outstanding power, but this position is meaningful in the standing committee of the provincial party committee, just like Governor Fan’s current position in Jiangnan Province, as long as it is in organizational life. "The right to speak is much greater than that of Secretary Lin Hao. After all, Secretary Lin Hao is only a member of the Central Committee."

Fan Heng waved his hand and said, "These are all insignificant. In fact, for me, the most important thing is to be able to get in touch with state-owned enterprises again and contribute a little bit of my own strength to solve this biggest difficulty. Although I am currently doing a good job in Jiangnan Province Yes, but the energy is basically scattered, and it is difficult to make more focused efforts on a certain point, which limits the scope of my abilities. "

Everyone nodded, knowing that Fan Heng, who was born in a state-owned enterprise, had never stopped paying attention to this area, and Zhang Mei understood that even when Fan Wubing left for the United States, Fan Heng was unemployed in Beijing. During that period of time, Fan Heng had also been paying close attention to the reform of state-owned enterprises.

As for after arriving in Panshi, even if they had their own experimental field, the father and son worked together to create a new world. Then when they arrived in Jiangnan Province, they were already familiar with it. In addition, Fan Wubing and overseas funds brought in With their help, we finally created the new look of Jiangnan today, which is amazing.

"But we can't say for sure yet. We still have to see how the talks go tomorrow, or maybe there are other ideas among the senior management." Fan Heng still looked unfazed, as if this matter My son's relationship with him is quite different.

"Hey, with my father's Qi-nurturing skills, he will definitely be able to join the Standing Committee." Han Chu also praised Fan Heng in a timely manner.

Fan Heng laughed, and then suggested getting a bottle of Fenjiu, and each of the three men shared a little.

After dinner, Han Chu and Fan Ting chatted for a while, and then the two drove back to their residence.

Fan Heng and Zhang Mei also had some topics to talk about, and while they were looking at the pages connected to the high-speed Internet, they talked about these things, just like ordinary old couples.

The nanny went to clean the kitchen. Now the Fan family has two nannies and two chefs, both of whom were invited by Fan Wubing. There are also several people who are responsible for the cleaning work. The driver is also borne by Fan Wubing. As for Fan Heng The drivers, secretaries, guards, etc. were specially selected by the security department and lived in the small building opposite.

After Song Qing had eaten, she still had some things to deal with, so she went to the guest room upstairs.

Fan Wubing sat down cross-legged and turned on the TV to watch casually. At the same time, he called Minister Zhang and asked if it would be convenient to visit him at this time.

"What's the inconvenience? My nephew and son-in-law are visiting my uncle. Why don't you come whenever you want?" Minister Zhang was probably in a good mood and said to Fan Wubing with a smile.

"Then I'll go over there now!" Fan Wubing said immediately.

"Now? That's okay." Minister Zhang nodded and replied, "But I'm receiving guests, and if you come over, you'll have to wait for me for another hour. I'm thinking about you, Boss Fan, and I'm losing a piece of my hair every second. Gold, if you don’t want to do anything, just wait. If you’re not afraid of losing money, just come over and wait for a while.”

Fan Wubing and Minister Zhang were used to talking casually. The two of them even made some jokes sometimes. Hearing the words, he laughed and said, "Okay, if you want to lose gold, you have to leave it to uncle. This is called Don’t let the rich water flow to outsiders’ fields.”

The place where Minister Zhang lives is not very far from the Fan family. It takes about twenty minutes to drive there, but it seems a bit heavily guarded here, like a military atmosphere.

After Fan Wubing was stopped, he made a phone call and was released. His special State Council pass was of no use here. It seems that the military is still its own system with many independent authorities, but this is also possible. I understand. After all, the military is responsible for the national defense and security of the entire country, and it does require strict confidentiality systems and security measures.

There were four or five military-brand cars parked outside the yard of Minister Zhang's house, which seemed to be very high-end. After Fan Wubing parked his car carefully, he found that Minister Zhang's security guards had been waiting outside for a long time.

After the follower guard entered the house, he saw that the living room over there was full of shining generals. There were at least five or six generals and lieutenant generals sitting together, probably talking about something.

No wonder Minister Zhang said he was receiving guests. Naturally, guests of this level should not be neglected.

"I think I'll just watch from the side." Fan Wubing was also very familiar with Minister Zhang's home, so he said to the guard.

The guard immediately took Fan Wubing to the small living room next to him, turned on the TV for him to watch, and then brought him drinks and dried fruits, and asked by the way, "Don't you go online, Mr. Fan? This place is also connected to the high-speed Internet."

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "It's enough to go online all day. I feel disgusted when I see the Microsoft one. How can I be interested!"

The guard smiled and left, but Fan Wubing suddenly realized a problem. It seems that it is also a good choice to launch a domestic version of his own. At least Microsoft's version has too many loopholes, which can be said to be riddled with holes. Now that he has integrated domestic technical forces, he can also come up with a software with guaranteed quality.

However, there is also a problem. If you make this, you can't expect to make money from it. Fan Wubing thought about it and felt that he should discuss it with his brother-in-law Han Chu to see if they have the power to take it down, and it doesn't need to spend too much energy. If the impact is relatively large and it interferes with other work, it is not worth it.

So Fan Wubing casually called Han Chu and asked him if this thing could be done?

"It should be no problem. In fact, I have a lot of complaints about that Ie." After thinking about it, Han Chu said to Fan Wubing, "But don't worry about this matter. I will find a few technicians to plan it first, and then decide whether to start the project."

Fan Wubing wanted to say something else, and then heard a noisy voice in the microphone. Han Chu complained, "Okay, no more words, your sister is angry."

"Poor, a man is wasted--" Fan Wubing shook his head and hung up the phone.

But Minister Zhang's guard ran over again and said to Fan Wubing, "Mr. Fan, Minister Zhang's guest has left."

Fan Wubing stood up after hearing this, and followed the guard to the living room, but saw Minister Zhang just sent the guest back from the door.

"Wubing, you came at the right time." Minister Zhang said with a smile.
