Xu Peng could understand what Fang Zhicheng meant. In terms of political status, Qinhuai Heavy Machinery was several levels lower than Caoyao Heavy Industry. If Caoyao Heavy Industry took the lead in implementing and promoting the intelligent manufacturing plan, it would be able to obtain a large amount of funds both in the province and in the ministries, which would be much more convenient than Qinhuai Heavy Machinery's promotion.
Business and politics always complement each other, especially when it comes to national strategy, it is a factor that must be taken into consideration.
Xu Peng remained silent for a long time before he said, "To be honest, I still feel very uncomfortable. I feel like the sumptuous dinner I was preparing to enjoy alone was eaten up by a stranger."
Fang Zhicheng took a sip of tea. The tea brewed from the hotel's tea bag tasted a bit astringent. He frowned and said, "Don't forget the long-term plan of Qinhuai Heavy Machinery. You will transform into a service provider for the entire industry in the future. As a service provider, you must have a core partner. Caoyao Heavy Industry is your best choice."
Xu Peng couldn't help but sigh that the successful transformation of Qinhuai Heavy Machinery today was actually largely due to the inspiration triggered by the private communication with Fang Zhicheng back then.
A few years ago, Fang Zhicheng once proposed that the Internet would replace other media as the main information release channel, so industrial enterprises must upgrade around the Internet. From the rise of e-commerce last year, it has become an inevitable trend for traditional industrial enterprises to closely integrate with the Internet.
Although Qinhuai Heavy Machinery's exploration in the field of intelligent manufacturing has been fruitful, it is only the first step in a long journey. Xu Peng has devoted a lot of energy to it because he knows that it will sooner or later become a national strategy. An industry standing on the shoulders of national strategy has immeasurable development potential.
But Fang Zhicheng now has a clear purpose, which is to hope that Qinhuai Heavy Machinery will share the research results of intelligent manufacturers with Caoyao Heavy Industry. In the short term, it is still difficult for Xu Peng to accept this suggestion. Although he knows that most of the international companies researching intelligent manufacturing are well-funded, Qinhuai Heavy Machinery has a large gap with them.
Fang Zhicheng knew that it was pointless to continue persuading Xu Peng, so he changed the subject and talked about the situation in Yinzhou.
Now the situation in Yinzhou has gradually stabilized. Zhang Guoxin has successfully risen from a daughter-in-law to a mother-in-law, from mayor to municipal party secretary, and has also crossed the difficult threshold from the level of a full department head to the level of a vice-minister. Qiu Hengde, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, was promoted to mayor and entered the core cadre echelon of Huainan.
Although Zhang Guoxin and Qiu Hengde occasionally had games of chance, they were good at controlling the overall situation and managed the situation in Yinzhou very well, which was beyond the expectations of many people.
"The mayor of Dongtai is your former subordinate Li Hui. There is a rumor in the Yinzhou officialdom that you are her boss behind the scenes. Is that true?" Xu Peng treated Fang Zhicheng as a friend, so he did not have too many reservations when talking.
Fang Zhicheng smiled helplessly and said, "Li Hui and I haven't seen each other for many years. During the holidays, we would just send each other New Year greetings text messages."
Xu Peng smiled cunningly and said, "You, don't hide it. You have a great influence in Dongtai now. Many leaders came from the Merchants' Bureau back then. Everyone calls them the Merchants' Gang."
Dongtai has been developing better and better over the years, which is inseparable from the series of investment promotion work done by China Merchants Group. Officialdom emphasizes political achievements, and China Merchants Group has created a good situation, so it is only natural that those cadres have been promoted.
However, Fang Zhicheng was a little surprised that Li Hui had become the mayor of Dongtai in a very short time. The mayor of Dongtai is a deputy department-level position. More importantly, Dongtai's economic development momentum is very good and it is well-known throughout the country. At Li Hui's age, sitting in this position, she can normally enter the provincial party committee sequence in the future.
Of course, Li Hui’s ability to get to this point was definitely not just due to Fang Zhicheng, but also due to other opportunities.
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "It's been a long time since I went back to Yinzhou, and I don't know how much has changed there. That's my hometown, and no matter where I go, I'll always have a bond there."
The seeds that were planted at that time have sprouted, and some have grown into big trees. Looking back on the past few years, Fang Zhicheng suddenly felt that he had changed so much.
Xu Peng suddenly remembered something and whispered, "Xu Jiao still doesn't want to get married. Her family is so worried."
Fang Zhicheng showed embarrassment on his face and sighed: "You also know that I can't make a promise to Xu Jiao."
Xu Peng's eyes flashed with a hint of dissatisfaction, and he said, "You can't force feelings. For so many years, you and Xu Jiao have had no contact. She also knows that there is no possibility for her to be with you, but she is very stubborn and always wants to find a man who is better than you to prove herself. But in fact, how many people in this world can compare with you?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying: "I can't do anything about Xu Jiao!"
Xu Peng pointed at Fang Zhicheng and smiled. Although this young man in front of him was talking and laughing with him without any airs, Xu Peng knew that his future achievements would far exceed his imagination.
Xu Peng took out a cigarette box, handed one to Fang Zhicheng, took a puff and said, "Zhicheng, no one can see your future clearly, but we all know that without the experience of getting along with you, no one would be able to get so many opportunities. So no matter what you need my help for in the future, I will definitely do my best to convince the board of directors about Caoyao Heavy Industry's desire to join the intelligent manufacturing plan. I know that there must be other reasons for you to do this."
Xu Peng was an extremely smart man. Fang Zhicheng just nodded and he already knew what he should do.
As Xu Peng said, Fang Zhicheng is in a big chess game in the next step, and intelligent manufacturing is the core and the key to solving the chess game problems. If Qinhuai Heavy Machinery is willing to share it with Caoyao Heavy Industry Group, it can not only solve the problem of Caoyao Heavy Industry's restructuring, but also allow intelligent manufacturing to take root and sprout with the influence of Caoyao Heavy Industry.
…
The black car was filled with smoke. A middle-aged man sat in the back seat. He had a long scar from the corner of his eye to his chin, which made him look ferocious and terrifying. He had a cigarette in his mouth and blew out a few smoke rings. He asked in a hoarse voice in not-so-pure Chinese, "Is that the man who just came in?"
The man sitting in the front row was wearing a peaked cap. He subconsciously pressed down the brim of his cap and whispered, "That's right!"
Scarface grinned and said, "He doesn't look that difficult to deal with."
"The key is to do it cleanly!" said the man in the baseball cap in a low voice.
Scarface nodded, put out his cigarette, pushed the door open, took out a brown canvas bag from the trunk, and casually put it on his shoulder.
The man in the peaked cap and the driver lowered their voices and ordered, "Let's go!"
The car quickly adjusted its direction and headed towards a fork in the road.
Scarface stood in the corner and observed for a moment, waiting for the target to lock the bicycle, and then quickly followed. The way he walked seemed very natural, but if you studied it carefully, you could find that his footsteps were very brisk and almost silent.
Du Guangquan didn't know he was being followed. He went upstairs with a lot of thoughts in mind and was about to ring the doorbell when he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his lower abdomen and then collapsed to the ground...
Scarface was about to go up and stab him again, but suddenly he felt his pores bursting, realizing that danger was approaching, and decisively ran to the upper floor, then nimbly climbed out of the window in the middle of the stairs...
Chapter 0959 Who directed this tragedy
"I'm sorry, we failed in our duty and failed to protect Du Guangquan. He was assassinated..." Meng Hu reported in a serious tone, "From the situation at the scene, it was the famous killer, codenamed Ninja, who did it."
Less than ten minutes after Du Guangquan was murdered, Fang Zhicheng received the news.
It was unexpected. Just an hour ago, Fang Zhicheng and Du Guangquan were still chatting happily at the dinner table. It can be seen that Du Guangquan was very happy about Qinhuai Heavy Machinery's arrival.
Fang Zhicheng frowned and asked with concern, "How is Lao Du doing?"
Meng Hu said in a low voice: "One blow was fatal! He's dead!"
This news makes people angry and helpless.
