Don’t underestimate these three places, as they are equivalent to creating three multinational trading giants out of thin air.

Although Zhao Guoyi is at a disadvantage in Huainan now, his position is still unshakable. The key lies in his control over the economy. Not to mention the Zhao family, the largest chaebol in Huainan, other companies also have very good relations with Zhao Guoyi. Although in China, money must succumb to power, when Zhao Guoyi is backed by a large number of influential merchants, power has to be taken seriously.

Therefore, the bait thrown by Song Wendi was very correct and Zhao Guoyi would not easily refuse it.

The two smiled at each other and stopped dwelling on the previous topic. Some details were not convenient to discuss in detail on this occasion. Overall, the two had basically reached a consensus through today's meeting and exchanged chips for the first time.

Transactions grow in the process of contact. Only when you get to know each other better can you make a bigger deal. Song Wendi found support from Zhao Guoyi to promote the construction of smart city systems throughout the province, and Zhao Guoyi also got three passes from Song Wendi to open up foreign trade transactions in Australia.

After singing at the KTV, Shi Xian suggested going to the hot springs, and the others did not refuse. Today was the weekend, and the hot springs were crowded. Although the few of them had not prepared swimsuits before, they had been prepared at the fishing house. The few of them bought new swimsuits, changed in the men's and women's locker rooms, and finally met in the open-air hot springs.

Wen Feng saw the four people and said with a smile: "You three standing together with Xiao Fang are indeed not on the same level."

Song Wendi laughed and said, "Everyone gets old one day. I used to have eight-pack abs."

Wen Feng waved her hand and said jokingly, "A good man never brags about his past achievements!"

In fact, among people of the same age, Song Wendi has maintained a good figure, just a little fat, while Zhao Guoyi has a strong body, but his skin is not so tight. As for Chu Shiyuan, he is a typical middle-aged man, with a obviously out of shape figure and a big belly.

Fang Zhicheng has been exercising for a long time. He doesn’t have the inverted triangle figure of a bodybuilder, but his pectoral muscles are slightly protruding and there are three obvious lines on his abdomen, which attracts many people’s attention.

Fang Zhicheng was looking at the women who were traveling with him. All three of them chose conservative swimsuits that covered the sensitive parts of their chests, waists and hips. However, even so, they still couldn't hide their charm. Especially Wen Feng, perhaps because the swimsuit she chose was too small, so a large area of her snow-white chest was exposed to the air. As for Shi Xian, her figure was thin, but her lines were smooth and graceful, like a girl in her twenties. As for Zhao Qingya, her figure was undoubtedly the best among the three. Whether it was the proportions or the body shape, people secretly praised her.

There are not many hot spring pools in the fishing house, but there are several. The three women occupied one, and the other four men lay down in the hot spring pool next door. The water temperature is very high. Lying in the water in winter makes the body and mind feel comfortable and relaxed.

Chu Shiyuan lay beside Zhao Guoyi, exhaling slowly. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would be lying almost naked in a pool with the vice governor. Just for this reason, Fang Zhicheng had to feel a little grateful.

Song Wendi and Zhao Guoyi, who took off their clothes, were actually not much different from ordinary people. Song Wendi suddenly remembered something and smiled as he told a few of the jokes that Fang Zhicheng had mentioned in the name of Wang Ke, which made Zhao Guoyi laugh.

Chapter 0895: The Flame Becomes a Raging Fire

The good day ended like this. Zhao Qingya was brought here by the driver, and chose to sit in Fang Zhicheng's car on the way back. As the night fell, Zhao Qingya looked at Fang Zhicheng's angular face and said, "You put a lot of thought into putting my brother and your master together."

Fang Zhicheng held the steering wheel with both hands and said with emotion: "They are both people I admire. In fact, I have thought for a long time that if they can form an alliance, it will definitely produce a wonderful chemical reaction. Your brother is a decent person and handles problems in an upright manner. He has an excellent reputation in the Huainan officialdom system and is deeply loved and trusted by the people and other colleagues. And my master, he has means, methods, and strategies to deal with problems. More importantly, from a national perspective, both of them have the potential to become the central government. They each have different advantages, which can complement each other and have great benefits in improving each other's weaknesses."

Song Wendi is very high on the core list of the 100-person list, and Zhao Guoyi has also passed that line. They are both cadres that the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee pays close attention to. Relatively speaking, Song Wendi has even stronger potential and is considered to be the successor to Vice Premier Li Siyuan. After Li Siyuan retires, Song Wendi is expected to take over his position and authority and coordinate the management of the national economic strategic layout.

Although Zhao Guoyi's ranking in the Standing Committee is higher than Song Wendi's, he is very far behind in the core list of the 100-person list. The main reason is that he does not have enough resources at the top level. It is much more difficult for him to move to the vice-state level than Song Wendi. Zhao Guoyi is much weaker than Song Wendi in faction strength. Song Wendi is the core backbone of the Economics Department. Although the Economics Department has always been at a disadvantage among many factions, the leader created by the department's concentrated advantages is more advantageous than Zhao Guoyi from a national perspective.

Zhao Qingya smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, I am also a little excited. In all these years of doing business, I have met many cadres, and there are indeed only a handful of officials who can compare with my brother and Secretary Song. They consider issues in a steady and passionate way, and are good at thinking about problems from the perspective of people's livelihood, and rarely mix personal emotions and interests. If they can join forces, the officialdom in Huainan will have a good trend in the future."

Zhao Qingya's words also touched Fang Zhicheng's heart. He originally just wanted to bring together two provincial party committee cadres whom he admired. Now a fire has been ignited in his heart, and he is looking forward to the possibilities that can be triggered in the subsequent cooperation between the two.

Song Wendi is good at attacking, while Zhao Guoyi is good at defending. One attack and one defense, just like a spear and a shield. It is bound to set off a storm in Huainan. Although the top two leaders of the Huainan Provincial Party Committee are both northern faction cadres, who can guarantee that they will not be overthrown by these two Huainan local cadres in the future

Judging from the current situation, although Song Wendi and Zhao Guoyi cannot compete with them in the Standing Committee and are at a disadvantage in personnel arrangements, Song Wendi and Zhao Guoyi have gradually grown into towering trees in the political soil of Huainan. They will not be unable to adapt to the local climate, have a good mass base, and have a group of local cadres standing behind them. In addition, in the central government, there are also two big bosses who have gone out, Li Siyuan and Bu Yiren, who pay close attention to and support them.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Guoyi looked at the scenery outside the window and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, his palms felt warm. He turned around and saw Shi Xian looking at him with a smile. Zhao Guoyi smiled faintly and said, "How do you feel today? Are you happy?"

Shi Xian nodded and said, "The hot spring is nice. Although it's not a natural hot spring, it's very comfortable to soak in. I wore a lot of clothes in winter and it was so stuffy. By the way, I didn't expect Wen Feng to have such a good figure. She is a few years older than me, but her skin is tight and her figure hasn't changed at all. Women who have never given birth are different from women who have given birth."

Shi Xian had a failed marriage and had a boy, who was later awarded to her ex-husband by the court. Now her ex-husband lives abroad with her son. Zhao Guoyi knew that Shi Xian was thinking of her son, so he held her hand tightly and whispered, "Talk to him next year and let your son return to China to live for a while. I will take good care of him with you."

Shi Xian nodded with emotion, gently placed her face on Zhao Guoyi's shoulder, and said, "Thank you for respecting me so much."

Zhao Guoyi smiled with relief and said, "We can be together at this age. Who doesn't have a past?"

Shi Xian sighed, knowing that there was always a woman living in Zhao Guoyi's heart. Although she was a woman of bad character, it made Zhao Guoyi hard to let go. "Have you visited her recently?"

Zhao Guoyi did not hide it and nodded, saying, "She behaved well in prison and has been qualified for a sentence reduction."

Shi Xian asked, "Are you waiting for her?"

Zhao Guoyi shook his head and said, "Time waits for no one. Who am I to wait for anyone? I just hope she can relax a little, so I will worry less."

Shi Xian sighed, "Although I tried hard to convince myself to be more open-minded, I still couldn't help but feel jealous."

Zhao Guoyi smiled faintly and said: "She is my past, and you are my present and future."

Shi Xian stretched out her finger and gently poked Zhao Guoyi on the forehead, saying, "You don't sound corny when you talk. By the way, how was your conversation with Song Wendi today?"

Zhao Guoyi was silent for a while, then said solemnly, "It's better to meet in person than to hear about someone. Song Wendi is one of the most charming officials I have ever met. He has a higher perspective than others. When our vision is still focused on domestic competition, he has already set his sights on the global field. Qiongjin will become the main battlefield for many international activities next year, which will greatly enhance Qiongjin's international influence. Now that we have entered the information age, competition between cities is no longer limited to the domestic market, but needs to be involved in foreign countries. Only when the influence is sufficient can we attract enough foreign capital and enhance the combat effectiveness of local enterprises in the international market."

Shi Xian didn't know much about the layout of the economic field, so she smiled and said, "It's rare to see you so excited."

Zhao Guoyi smiled and said, "It's a pity that we met too late when we were drinking together."

The meeting between Zhao Guoyi and Song Wendi completed a mutual integration of the resources of the former provincial party secretary and governor. Although Bu Yiren tried to extend an olive branch to Song Wendi when he was in office, and Song Wendi also responded appropriately, that kind of cooperation was vigilant.

Now that Zhao and Song were meeting almost nakedly, the ice between the two factions had been broken and the cooperation had become more in-depth.

The next day, Zhao Guoyi arranged for the second secretary of the provincial government to draft the "Huainan Province Smart City Construction Action Plan", which set "smart city" as a key strategy of the 12th Five-Year Plan. At the same time, the plan mentioned that the Qiong-Han integration project would be used as a pioneer test field.

Specific measures in the plan include, first, improving urban broadband network infrastructure, accelerating the installation of fiber-optic cables into buildings and homes, strictly implementing fiber-optic cable standards for new buildings, accelerating fiber-optic cable upgrades in existing communities, and strengthening moderately advanced planning and overall coordination of co-construction and sharing of communication pipeline construction in new urban areas.

Second, build a three-dimensional perception network for municipal management. Coordinate the development and construction of intelligent sensing systems in the fields of transportation, water supply and drainage, energy, environmental protection, disaster prevention and safe production, and accelerate the deployment and construction of short-range wireless communications and wireless sensor networks. Strengthen the real-time monitoring and intelligent management of municipal underground pipelines. Promote the deployment and application of technologies such as radio frequency identification, sensors, and satellite applications in public places such as roads, factories, stores, stations, and schools, and strengthen real-time monitoring and management of resources, energy, and the environment.

Third, build a public support platform for information infrastructure. Build cities such as Yinzhou, Qiongjin, and Hanzhou into important regional information infrastructure resources to provide strong support for the research, analysis, prediction, design, and simulation work of various regional institutions. Accelerate the creation of national pilot cities for information benefiting the people, national e-commerce demonstration cities, and next-generation Internet demonstration cities.
