Chen Tao paused and said, "We had a very good relationship when we were in college. He was very active in college and was a leader among our classmates. As you know, I was the president of the student union and had a wide network of contacts, so we formed a deep friendship at that time."

Chen Tao's words were first of all an indirect flattery of Fang Zhicheng, and secondly, they were a publicity stunt, and they also fabricated a false friendship. Since Cai Linfeng would not verify with Fang Zhicheng at all, it was okay for him to speak nonsense. Besides, Cai Linfeng was so nice to him today, it must be because he heard some rumors.

Although Cai Linfeng is a deputy minister, because he is in a university, the value of his rank is still somewhat lower than that of deputy ministers in the officialdom.

Cai Linfeng nodded and said earnestly: "Xiao Chen, leaving Huainan University is a good thing for you. In fact, as early as last year, I was thinking about whether to let you go out and gain some experience, but because the school is too busy, I don't have an assistant like you by my side, so I selfishly let you stay, so that you can accumulate and settle down."

Chen Tao smiled and said with understanding: "Principal Cai, no matter where I go, I will regard you as my mentor. I have learned a lot from you in the past few years. You have influenced me with your personality charm, and you are also a benchmark for future progress."

Cai Linfeng nodded and smiled, "In that case, I will let you go without worry. The transfer letter from the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee has arrived. I will ask the personnel department to handle it and speed up the process. Although the school is comfortable, it is not free enough. You are a good young man with ideals and ambitions. You should go out and explore the world. Of course, if one day you feel that the outside world is too complicated, you can come back at any time. My door is always open for you."

Cai Linfeng's words surprised Chen Tao. He quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Principal Cai. I will definitely do my best and not let you down!"

Cai Linfeng nodded and smiled, saying: "Your world is wide open, and we can communicate frequently in the future. Especially the resources from Mayor Fang, you must firmly grasp them and never let go. This is something that many people can only encounter but not seek."

Chen Tao nodded solemnly and said seriously: "Principal Cai, although I have left Huai University, I will always be a member of Huai University and a soldier you have brought up. In the future, as long as you give me orders, I will do my best to serve you."

Cai Linfeng was waiting for Chen Tao to say this. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, I know you. You are a young man who knows how to be grateful."

After Chen Tao left the office, Cai Linfeng took out a transfer letter from the drawer. He put it beside him and tapped on it for a long time. Then he called the vice president in charge of personnel and said, "Let's give Xiao Chen the go."

The vice-principal was slightly stunned, because Cai Linfeng's attitude just now was not like this. He seemed a little exasperated and even asked himself to withstand the pressure and not let him go easily.

The vice president could understand Cai Linfeng. This transfer letter came from the Qiongjin Municipal Committee. If it was in terms of rank, it was just the same level. If Huainan University was determined not to let him go, it would be impossible for Chen Tao to leave here. This was the system in China. One person had one job. The establishment was a guarantee, but also a shackle. If Huainan University was determined not to let him go, I'm afraid the Qiongjin Municipal Committee would not have much to do.

The conversation with Chen Tao just now made Cai Linfeng change his mind. He felt that using the relationship between Chen Tao and Fang Zhicheng might help his future. Although he couldn't tell whether Chen Tao's words to him were true or false, Cai Linfeng was not the kind of person who couldn't see through things. He knew that he shouldn't mess with a person with a promising future.

Chen Tao sat in the outer room, processing various documents with an attentive expression, but he felt a heavy weight on his heart. If Cai Linfeng refused to let him go, he would be in a dilemma. Chen Tao knew Cai Linfeng very well. He was not a very open-minded person. In the past few years, he had countless opportunities to work in the lower levels, but they were all blocked by Cai Linfeng.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Tao wanted to leave Huai University. To say that Cai Linfeng was his mentor was too much of a compliment. Cai Linfeng had never given him any substantial help except for exploiting him, so Chen Tao had always wanted to escape from here.

In the past two years, Chen Tao has been silently enduring with a smile on his face and a lot of anger suppressed in his heart. But now is not the time to cheer, because he knows that what Cai Linfeng said just now was just a test of him. Only when he is sure that he can leave, then he can completely relax.

Fang Zhicheng met Song Wendi's new secretary on the first floor. The original secretaries had been replaced several times, and some had been assigned to local positions. Since Song Wendi started to lead Fang Zhicheng, he had developed a habit of keeping secretaries around for no more than two years before they became chess pieces in his layout, which indirectly formed a network of human resources.

The new secretary was called Jia Wenhe, tall and two years older than Fang Zhicheng. The governor's secretary was at the level of a director, so a director-level cadre in his early thirties was already quite impressive, but of course, he was still a little less evil than Fang Zhicheng.

Jia Wenhe introduced with a smile: "After the provincial government moved from Central Street to the new site, the reception system has been upgraded to a higher standard. There is a strict access system, so you can't come in without someone to guide you."

Fang Zhicheng said: "This is a barrier. Officials have no sense of security, and ordinary people have even less sense of security. I don't know when it can be completely eliminated."

Jia Wenhe smiled and pretended not to understand. He was not qualified to comment on these things, but Fang Zhicheng was qualified. After all, they were in different positions. He took Fang Zhicheng to the ninth floor. Song Wendi was sitting in the inner room reviewing documents. When he saw Fang Zhicheng coming, he smiled and said, "I will talk to you after I finish reviewing the materials."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

The two of them were talking casually, but Jia Wenhe could tell that the relationship between them was beyond the ordinary. Otherwise, how could a deputy department-level cadre be so straightforward when facing a ministerial-level cadre? Moreover, Song Wendi didn't care at all and seemed to enjoy Fang Zhicheng's attitude.

Jia Wenhe smiled and said, "I'll go get Mayor Fang a cup of tea."

Song Wendi waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, take a pack of tea from the cabinet and ask him to make it for me."

Jia Wenhe was slightly startled, and hurriedly went outside to get a bag of tea. Fang Zhicheng took the tea bag, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hanzhou's new tea this year has become beautifully packaged, which shows that tea farmers are making progress."

Jia Wenhe knew that Fang Zhicheng had worked in Hanzhou before, so he quickly said, "Hanzhou's tea has become famous this year, especially with the use of the Sky Supermarket network. Sales have been rising steadily, and it has become a rural e-commerce phenomenon and has been reported by many media."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "The development of e-commerce has indeed brought many opportunities. Take the rural market as an example. In the past, due to poor information communication, it was difficult for ordinary people to buy some of the goods they needed. At the same time, the output of agricultural products was large, but there was no channel to sell them in time, resulting in hoarding and unsalable products. With e-commerce, it is a good way to connect the demand and supply ends of the rural market. Of course, we must also look at it calmly, because the rural market is large, but it is not the main force of the Internet. We must promote it moderately and remain cautious."

Song Wendi raised her head, glanced at Fang Zhicheng, and said with a smile: "Zhicheng, sometimes you deliberately pour cold water on me."

Chapter 0999 Wan Heng's Poor Current Situation

Jia Wenhe knew that Song Wendi had finished the matter at hand, so he prepared to leave. Song Wendi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can also sit next to us and listen. Let's have a relaxed private discussion today. It is allowed to be unrestrained and unbridled."

Fang Zhicheng said seriously: "Governor, I am speaking from an objective and fair perspective. The Internet has been on the rise since last year, but the hotter it is, the more we need to pay attention to the risks involved. E-commerce has created several well-known companies, and they have been popular in the capital market. However, behind the excessive prosperity, there will inevitably be many negative factors, which we need to analyze and resolve in advance."

Song Wendi put down the documents in his hand, sighed, walked slowly to the opposite side of Fang Zhicheng, picked up a cup of freshly brewed tea, took a sip, and said, "Where do you think the problems with e-commerce are now?"

Fang Zhicheng said: "It's mainly the supervision mechanism. Another thing is that there is no supporting regulatory system. The Internet is developing too fast. New business models based on it are emerging every day. Some of them are good, but some are not. If we want to control the negative momentum, this is what we need to solve. For example, a while ago, there was a negative news about an online pyramid scheme. Members must first pay a membership fee to register on the website, and then the website will distribute these membership fees to the members who recommend them to register online. One of the websites under review gathered millions of members in just half a year, and made illegal profits of more than 500 million yuan."

Song Wendi had also heard about this, and he sighed and said, "I have also heard about this news. Although it did not happen in Huainan, it should also sound the alarm for us."

Fang Zhicheng said: "The Internet is about to reach its peak, and the government should now think about how to deal with the trough after the peak. When the Internet boom is the boom of the virtual world, how to closely combine it with the boom of the physical world is the key issue we need to solve."

Song Wendi smiled and said, "You seem to have an idea."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Capital can be integrated with each other. Since last year, the country has been advocating the reform of traditional enterprises. We can consider allowing Internet companies to collide with traditional enterprises, or even integrate them."

Song Wendi stared at Fang Zhicheng and said thoughtfully, "It's interesting."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I have started to promote the Sky Supermarket Network and connect with physical chain retail stores in some places across the country. Using these points, we can achieve surface coverage. If we express this model in a more professional way, it is called the O2O model. Online sales and offline pickup will become the mainstream e-commerce model in the future."

Song Wendi sighed and said, "My thinking can no longer keep up with the pace of young people." Despite saying this, Song Wendi is still very confident in himself. His knowledge of the Internet economy is no less superficial than those experts and scholars who are obsessed with academic research.

In recent years, Song Wendi has always focused on the Internet. His knowledge of the development of the Internet is no less than that of Fang Zhicheng. It’s just that Fang Zhicheng is a young man, and his ideas and thoughts are more active.

Jia Wenhe sat nearby and observed Fang Zhicheng and Song Wendi chatting, and found that he could not get a word in at all. Although he could understand what they were talking about, he always felt that the topic was floating in the air, and even if he stood on tiptoe, he could hardly reach it. This is the so-called vision problem.
