Chapter 501 Two Worlds

"Dad, butterfly~~"

In Xuanwu Lake, Zhang Haonan was holding a small wooden stick with a string tied to it. A small butterfly made of napkins was tied to the string. It was floating around and attracted several butterflies chasing after it.

Zhang Jin clapped his hands and laughed so hard that he didn't even care about the "Mao Mao" in his hand.

And the little tabby "Mao Mao" is less and less like a cat now. It's probably because he has been hanging out with Hu Hu for a long time, so he is a bit dog-like.

He also played the tour game very well. He could pick up small plush toys and small wooden sticks after throwing them.

The main reason was that Zhang Jin had the patience to play. He always tied a small cookie jar around his waist before, and rewarded "Mao Mao" if he did well.

"Good beautiful wine~~"

"Beautiful!"

"Beautiful wine~~"

"..."

Forget it, it's normal for children to be inarticulate.

Today is actually Wednesday, but because I'm leaving for Minyue Province tomorrow, I'm taking a break to prepare.

In the following period, there will be high-density business trips again. There are many cooperation projects to discuss. For example, the "Gusu Industrial Park" project that Liu Chen is upgrading is underway. The province has reached a consensus. In terms of human resource utilization efficiency, the thirteen prefecture-level cities have basically recognized the three-level quota system for labor skills.

That is, senior researchers, intermediate technicians, and junior general laborers. The top priority is not the first two, but the increase in general labor positions.

Basically, it is necessary to take care of the skill job training in the labor outflow areas of the province. There will definitely be bureaucratic style interference from the population outflow areas and some nepotism, but overall, after the province reaches a unified opinion, it is not okay to play too much.

Another thing is that the "Gusu Industrial Park" is now just called "Gusu". In essence, the Zhang family is still guarding the last checkpoint. If Zhang Haonan and his group of management who are as hungry for profits as wolves and tigers, it will be useless.

So if there is nepotism, nine out of ten are local bureaucrats and the "Shashi system" are synchronized, that is, the officials outside and the internal management must have "acquaintances" in the human society.

The cost is actually not small.

It is also because of the special nature here that Liu Chen is relatively bold. Many old relationships that are not easily used have been used this year.

Don't think that he is not the deputy mayor of Jiankang City, and he ran to Suzhou to be a second-rate deputy mayor, as if he was demoted. In fact, the "Suzhou Industrial Park" is now a candidate for a national industrial park. The only thing left for its real implementation is the performance in the third and fourth quarters of this year.

The provincial government compound of Liangjiang Province is also afraid of more dreams at night, so it has done Liu Chen's work many times, and it is almost like saying that he will definitely be promoted in the future.

This matter is indeed of great importance. The first cross-provincial cooperation national industrial park project has a future expectation of one billion US dollars. Moreover, if it really passes the comfort period, its scale must be quite large, enough to withstand the difficult period after the comfort period.

Liangjiang Province has not yet planned to open up large-scale cooperation. It is not because they are afraid of the problem of too many wolves and too little meat. Although there are considerations in this regard, the main concern is that people from above will come to pick peaches.

Although Liu Chen's academic backing is strong, it is not strong enough. When encountering the kind of interest groups that want to engage in financialization at any time, Liangjiang Province will be tempted and there is a high probability that traitors will appear.

After all, for officials, regardless of ideals, whoever gives more money can fly, but they will not care whether your money is stained with blood or dirty.

That is not important.

Therefore, in this situation, it is more conservative. First of all, the platform should be built well. If the pie is bigger, someone will come to pick peaches. If the appetite is smaller, it will be over.

Unlike Zhang Haonan, who can still take time to take his daughter to Xuanwu Lake for a stroll, Liu Chen has not rested much since he left Shacheng on May 3. He has been sorting out relationships and collecting materials, doing a lot of research and communication work. The entire team in Gusu is not as useful as him alone.

The academics have their own special channels. For example, Liu Chen can talk to graduates from Jiangyou University of Finance and Economics. Some of the "chief accountant" consultant teams from 20 years ago are all technical, not boastful PPT economists.

The economic resource data of many old revolutionary bases are more accurate than those of local governments.

After all, places like old revolutionary bases do not have enough financial support for them to do the survey.

In addition to upgrading the "Gusu Industrial Park" in Leizhou, Liu Chen also has a "No. 2 Park" project, which is to be set up near the north-south railway artery. For such an investigation, it is not possible to go in blindly, and someone must lead.

Similar to the situation in Huaixi Province, the development of Jiangyou Province is also uneven, and the development difficulty is indeed great. There is relatively little high-quality land available. It can only weigh the pros and cons on the existing transportation network, and transform or upgrade road transportation. Negotiations are also based on the total investment of "No. 2 Park".

The negotiations here have to be conducted with the provincial government of Jiangyou Province, the National Planning Commission, the Transportation Department of Jiangyou Province, and the local city governments. During the negotiation process, it is also necessary to report to the State Council, and the project approval must go through this necessary process.

In this case, the political and economic resources that Liangjiang Province wants to invest are definitely more, but they are definitely not concentrated and are very scattered.

Therefore, in the specific project itself, there must be "elite soldiers and strong generals". Liu Chen, as a capable official of the former Jiankang City National Planning Commission, is unanimously valued by the province in this regard, not simply because of his personal relationship with Zhang Haonan.

And Liu Chen did not disappoint the organization. When the outstanding student Zhang Haonan skipped classes to take his daughter to visit Xuanwu Lake, he had just flown to Leizhou by military plane, which was an ordinary transport plane with a small stool.

After getting familiar with the work, he went to Yangcheng first, led by Su Runzhong, to hold an exchange meeting. There must be many people with ideas in Lingnan Province. If the "Gusu Industrial Park" in Leizhou is upgraded, there will be many people willing to go there to brush their golden bodies.

So on May 16, when Boss Zhang used napkin paper butterflies to seduce real butterflies, Dean Liu was drinking "Remy Martin" with comrades in Yangcheng.

After drinking "Remy Martin", he took a car from the north-south railway artery to Qianzhou, a city in the southern part of Jiangyou Province.

However, he did not stay in Qianzhou for long. The plan was to rest for a day and then go directly to Nanye County, which is "rich in people and goods".

This is the historical production area of ​​"Gannan Navel Orange", but Liu Chen did not plan to investigate the planting area and yield of navel oranges, but went to the two sides of Taojiang to see the distribution and number of reservoirs.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the large and small reservoirs built by manpower, in Liu Chen's eyes at this time, are they reservoirs? They are treasuries.

According to the feedback from the Russians at the end of April, they need a lot of canned fruits this winter to make up for the adverse social reactions caused by the increase in fruit prices in summer.

So Liu Chen only has about five months to coordinate the fruit logistics. By the end of October, the Russians had already entered winter, which is a different style from China.

Of course, Zhang Haonan can walk his baby and attract bees and butterflies without being chased by Liu Chen, so there must be something.

First, another guy named Alexei, through contact with Alexei Pavlov, finalized the import and export channels of the Russian Natural Gas Company, because "Rosgas" is a "country within a country" on the Russian side, similar to the Ministry of Railways, with a high degree of autonomy. Some goods go through "Rosgas" just by saying hello.

And this Alexei, who is much stronger than little Pavlov, is the CEO of "Rosgas".

At the same time, the person who made the decision behind the scenes was "Dima", the chairman of "Rosgas".

"Dima" is a nickname, meaning "loyal person". He will have a more down-to-earth nickname in China called "brother-in-law".

After all, he is also a man who has been the commander-in-chief of the Russian State. How could he not have some strength?

According to Alexei, CEO of "Rosgas", about two million US dollars, this matter is considered settled.

However, Boss Zhang's attitude is also very clear. He will not give it if the contract is not signed and the advance payment is not received.

The pressure is basically on Alexei Pavlov. Whether this kid can soar to the sky depends on this bet.

Why do you say that?

Because the money that Pavlov used to buy Lamborghini and Ferrari was first paid to the beasts of the "St. Peter Gang" with the same name.

As for "Dima", he can give it to "Valodia" when he goes to the Kremlin to drink Georgian black tea.

The whole thing will kill at least two or three hundred people on the Russian side. As for how many "gray beasts" died, there is no need to count.

Liu Chen knows about the game, but the risk is not big. It seems that Zhang Haonan is "seeking the skin of the tiger", but the Pavlov family knows who is "Siegel".

Regardless of path dependence or what, in short, unless the Pavlov family finds a channel in North America, they can only get goods from Zhang Haonan.

Because whether it is trust or stable and fast supply, there is no "Zhang Haonan II" at present.

The internal situation of Russia is complicated, but that does not mean that the internal situation of China is simple.

Zhang Haonan has been taking advantage of the information gap in recent years, relying on the Russians' "no choice" to force it.

In the thinking of the "fruit logistics" project in Qianzhou, Liu Chen has not yet informed Jiangyou Province, and the local Qianzhou people are completely unaware of this matter because it is still just a consideration.

Liu Chen has several plans for whether to build a road, how to build it, and where the funds will come from.

One of the plans is to borrow money from the Russians and exchange it for a few years of priority supply.

In other words, the Russians lend money to Jiangyou Province, and the government departments of Liangjiang Province guarantee it. Of course, whether to add the "Shashi Group" is another matter, and then implement "special funds for special purposes" to build a "fast road" from Nanye County to Qianzhou City.

It is called an "fast road", but in fact it is envisioned as an ordinary hard road with two lanes as the main lane and four lanes as the auxiliary lane.

The optimal solution is actually the "Beijing-Long Railway", and it is ready-made, and there is also a station in Nanye County itself.

However, the Hongdu Railway Bureau has a low degree of freedom in the node of the "Beijing-Longhua Railway" in Jiangyou Province, and no one above can handle the internal situation of the Ministry of Railways.

Liu Chen only regards the Nanye Railway Station as a logistics backup, and whether to build a logistics warehouse at the railway station is still pending.

The reason why it is given priority to build a road directly to Qianzhou City is that if you can reach Qianzhou, you can reach the provincial capital Hongdu.

Things will be easy when you reach Hongdu. If you use the water of Poyang Lake to transport it out, everything will be easy.

The transportation capacity of Poyang Lake is a bit poor, but as long as it does not turn into grassland, the transportation capacity must be far greater than that of railways.

However, Boss Zhang actually wants to complain about this. There is a time when Poyang Lake really turns into grassland during the "dry season".

And it will become extremely troublesome after two years. Before his rebirth, Zhang Haonan went to Hongdu to deal with machine processing consumables about four or five years later, but Hongdu Port in the winter of that year could not directly enter Poyang Lake. The news also reported it specifically, saying that it was a once-in-seventy-year event.

Fortunately, Zhang Haonan didn’t have any orders to be delivered on time at that time, otherwise he would have lost everything.

But in any case, there is no problem in having to worry about road construction, because although Hongdu Port will not be able to enter the Yangtze River Economic Circle in the end, it can be regarded as an inland port supplement to Yangcheng Port with the rapid development of railways.

This is how things are done most of the time. You know what will happen if you don't do it. Only when you do it can you have ideas and make progress.

Those who deserve to be arrested and those who deserve to be sentenced are here to stay. This is all due to you, Vice Mayor Liu.

It was not his colleagues in the officialdom who made Liu Chen stand up, but the old academics of "Jiangyou Finance". They all came to tell Liu Chen something about "not forgetting his original intention". It is rare for an academic to have such a capable person. Don't brag... If you don’t brag, wouldn’t there be no chance?

Of course, it’s not surprising that the old academics of “Jiangyou Finance” did this. They also had other considerations. Compared with strongly competing universities such as “Songjiang Finance” and “Jiankang Finance”, “Jiangyou Finance” is undergoing dismantling. The marginalized situation after the separation.

If there were no more leaders to raise the banner, the decline of "Jiangyou Finance" would have happened in the past ten or eight years.

The "Secretary" of the Jiangyou Provincial Government is very powerful here. He can persuade the old scholars to praise Liu Chen. If you don't have any stakes, can you do it?

This led Liu Chen to make a special call to Zhang Haonan on the night of the 18th and ask him to rescue him.

He was really afraid that he would be burned to death in Jiangyou Province.

Zhang Haonan, who was walking his baby to Minyue Province, had a meeting during the day and had a meal of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" by Mindu chefs in the evening. He was in a good mood. He played small games with Zhang Jin and chatted with Liu Chen. sky.

"No, Lao Liu, this won't work?"

"What did you call me?!"

Liu Chen directly took out the 40-meter-long machete, but Boss Zhang, who was separated by countless mountains, was confident and joking and calm, "Tsk, tsk, you are so tough on me, you can escape from Jiangyou."

"There is really a fucking trick here. Hongdu sent a thank you letter to Jiankang, and I'm going to have a fucking thank you banquet here. I even arranged for an old cousin from Nanye County to come over and go through the process. What should I do? I can’t leave the people alone, right?”

"Hahahahahaha..."

After listening to what Liu Chen said, Zhang Haonan almost laughed and peed, "Damn, there are masters here in Jiangyou. They can play 'Funeral Happy Event' so well. I want to ask anyone who is interested in coming to our company to do Greater China business." District Chief Executive Officer.”

"Fuck you, what sarcastic words are you talking about? It's time to say it clearly. The atmosphere has reached this point. You need to be more conservative."

"Ha ha."

Zhang Haonan laughed again when he heard this. The official elites among "Old Biao" are indeed powerful, but there is nothing bad about them. If they are used for business, it is a good thing.

"In this case, let me tell the people in the Yangcheng office, please reveal a little bit about the 'No. 2 Project'. As for me, it is definitely not possible to invest in a factory in the county. It will be 100% in vain, but we can open a citrus plant in Hongdu. Similar to a canning processing plant. It can also be used as a training base for employees in the future, as a precursor to the 'No. 2 Project.'

"Tell me the number."

"Five million."

"Five million..."

Liu Chen thought about it and felt that it should be enough.

At this time, a babyish voice came from the phone.

"Dad, who is it? Who is it?"

"Grandpa Liu with the glasses."

"Xiao Jin'er, did you take her to Minyue?!"

Dean Liu was immediately shocked, and then quickly changed his face, "Xiao Jin'er, it's me, I'm Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu who wears glasses."

The voice was a bit disgusting, but when he heard Zhang Jin shout "Hello, Grandpa Liu~~", Liu Chen didn't feel any discomfort at all and enjoyed it.

Zhang Haonan didn't teach Zhang Jin how to say hello. This was Zhang Jin's own politeness.

"You are of such low quality that you can actually give birth to such a smart, cute, and polite daughter. You really have to make up for what you lack."

"Do you still want five million? Be careful of old cousin Jiang You pouring pepper water on you."

"..."

Liu Chen, whose face turned dark for a moment, suddenly thought of something again, "How was the meeting in Fujian?"

"What else can I do? It's pretty good. People in the provincial government here like Zhang Jin very much, and they know a lot of their godfathers."

"You are so shameless."

"Excellent."

The shameless Zhang Haonan immediately said, "The Yangcheng office will contact you in an hour, and you will arrive in Hongdu tomorrow. Are you in Hongdu?"

"Let's go to Qianzhou. We will arrange a drink in Qianzhou tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to make arrangements."

"call……"

Now Liu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to continue drinking with the people in Jiangyou Province. He couldn't bear it, he really couldn't bear it.

However, after hanging up the phone and comparing the status of himself and Zhang Haonan, Dean Liu's expression suddenly became distorted, full of envy, jealousy and hatred...
