After walking around the community, Tang Xue waved to Fang Zhicheng and walked upstairs with a smile on her face. Fang Zhicheng sighed secretly, thinking that he had underestimated Tang Xue. She was actually a delicate person with richer emotions than countless people. It was just that Tang Xue was under too much pressure, and she needed to support a family.
Fang Zhicheng sincerely hoped that Wan Heng could recover completely so that Tang Xue could live a little easier.
As for Tang Xue and Wan Yi, the mother and daughter, Fang Zhicheng should meet them less often. Although he simply wanted to help Wan Heng's family, if he looked into human nature, he might be tempted by evil thoughts.
Fang Zhicheng sighed deeply, thinking to himself that he was only a mortal after all. If he could become a saint without desires or requests, perhaps he wouldn't have so many sins to pay for.
…
First, by intimidating the Zheng family, who had deep power in the diplomatic circle, and then blackmailing the Long family through thunderous means, the Yanjing circle finally fully recognized and accepted the arrival of the Su family. The Su family, which had been in decline for many years, has since risen to the top of the ranking of major forces in China, of course, there are also the Tang family and the Ye family above them.
The current No. 1 had served as the municipal party secretary in Yanjing for many years and had long since turned Yanjing into an ironclad city. Although the Ye family was not in Yanjing, they were entrenched in the south and could not be underestimated.
In mid-August, at the request of Fang Zhicheng, the Foreign Investment Department of the National Development and Reform Commission began to send groups to various parts of the country to conduct research and understand the actual situation of foreign investment projects at the local level.
In the eyes of many people, Fang Zhicheng's attitude towards foreign investment is strict control. In fact, this is not entirely true. The reason why he strictly controlled the foreign investment access system at the beginning was to increase foreign investment in the future.
Foreign investment is a double-edged sword. We cannot reject it just because it has hidden dangers. The smart way is to make good use of it to stimulate the development of some emerging industries in China and give foreign investors enough benefits. But everything is based on me. I need you to enter the industry in an orderly manner and don't bargain.
Fang Zhicheng's research location was Yuzhou Province, mainly because of the strong invitation of his old classmate Qiao Jinpeng from the County Department Class of the Party School.
Qiao Jinpeng is slightly older than himself. Because his family has enough influence in Yuzhou, he was promoted quickly. Now he is the district party secretary of Zhongyuan District, Zhongzhou City, the capital of Yuzhou Province, and concurrently a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
After meeting Fang Zhicheng at the airport, Qiao Jinpeng was delighted. He had just been promoted to the district party secretary and needed some support. Fang Zhicheng came to investigate in his capacity as director of the Foreign Investment Department of the Development and Reform Commission, which made him feel very proud. Also meeting Fang Zhicheng were Xu Xiangyu, director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and Chen Baoping, the mayor.
Qiao Jinpeng and Fang Zhicheng introduced the two. Fang Zhicheng shook hands with them respectively and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be so grand. I originally planned to keep a low profile."
Xu Xiangyu quickly smiled and said, "Thanks to Comrade Jin Peng for tipping us off. Otherwise, we would have missed the opportunity to have an in-depth exchange with the leaders of the ministry."
Xu Xiangyu is a bureau-level official. It is natural that he humbled himself when he said this. Although their ranks are the same, one represents the province and the other represents the country. There is still a big gap between them.
Xu Xiangyu is an old member of the NDRC system. He knows the current situation of the NDRC better than Chen Baoping and knows Fang Zhicheng's background. Although he is young, he is very capable. Not long ago, at a foreign business negotiation meeting, he made the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs blush and let everyone know that Fang Zhicheng is not an easy person to deal with.
Chen Baoping also said: "Director Fang, you can't be bothered by it. Zhongzhou City is in a state of disrepair and needs a visionary leader like you to diagnose our situation."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that these two were old hands. He had come to Yuzhou with the intention of "secretly adjusting" but they were able to change the reason of changing the secret adjustment to an open adjustment in a high-sounding way, and then came to flatter him. This technique was quite clever.
Sitting in the Audi car, Qiao Jinpeng handed a cigarette to Fang Zhicheng, Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled, "I've quit smoking."
Qiao Jinpeng took a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he said, "You have also met the two reception and accompanying cadres. What do you think?"
Fang Zhicheng raised his lips and said, "Are you trying to set up a match for Chen Baoping?"
Qiao Jinpeng gave Fang Zhicheng a thumbs up and said, "That's right! Provincial Party Committee member Tao Deyong has run into problems, and an important position is vacant. Now many people are eyeing this position."
Fang Zhicheng had some impression of Tao Deyong, who was the father of Tao Na, the colleague who had confronted Wan Yi. But Fang Zhicheng was now thinking about why Tao Deyong had problems, and it was probably related to him.
Fang Zhicheng smacked his lips and smiled bitterly, "First, Chen Baoping is now at the level of a director general. It will take at least ten years for him to become a member of the provincial party committee standing committee. It will be very difficult for him to replace him. Second, if I were in Shanzhou, Huainan, and Xiangnan, I would still have room for maneuver. I know nothing about Yuzhou."
Qiao Jinpeng poked Fang Zhicheng with his arm and said, "I know you must have a way, so I'll leave this matter to you."
Fang Zhicheng stared at Qiao Jinpeng for a long time and said, "If I help you, I will definitely do my best, but this matter concerns others, you have to give me enough reasons."
Qiao Jinpeng smiled shyly and said, "I owe him a huge favor. If he hadn't protected me, I would have left the Yuzhou officialdom long ago."
Fang Zhicheng knew that there were some things that Qiao Jinpeng couldn't say in the car, so he was silent for a moment and said, "Then I'll try."
Fang Zhicheng was so straightforward because there were not many people in the officialdom that he could consider as friends, and Qiao Jinpeng was one of them. When they first met, Fang Zhicheng's life story had not yet been revealed, and Qiao Jinpeng had helped him many times, and Fang Zhicheng had always been grateful. The friendship with Qiao Jinpeng was not based on interests, and this kind of friendship was even more valuable.
If we follow the pace of the local government, the investigation is basically just a formality. Originally, we planned to send Fang Zhicheng to the hotel to rest and start the investigation in the afternoon, but Fang Zhicheng saw that it was still early, so he asked to start the investigation in the morning. Qiao Jinpeng had a strong dispatching ability. When the group arrived at the Zhongyuan District Economic Development Zone, the company was already ready.
The Zhongyuan District Economic Development Zone is a five-star demonstration park. It has currently accumulated a total investment of 3 billion yuan and has agreed to attract investment of 30 billion yuan. In order to further strengthen the platform construction of the centralized demonstration park, it is preparing to expand its scale and prepare a loan of 280 million US dollars from the World Bank.
If local governments want to obtain loans from the World Bank, they must be included in the annual World Bank loan plan. This plan is led by the Foreign Investment Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, and completed jointly by the Ministry of Finance's International Cooperation Department and the World Bank, with the Foreign Investment Department having the power to make decisions.
Qiao Jinpeng brought Fang Zhicheng to see this project with the simple purpose of having the economic development zone included in the World Bank's loan plan and applying for a loan.
Fang Zhicheng's smooth arrival at the Zhongyuan District project site was already considered a success, because the staff at the Loan Division of the Foreign Investment Administration were not stupid. Since the top leader had already visited the site for an on-site investigation, how could they not approve it
Two hundred and eighty million US dollars is not a small amount for the local government, and it is a loan after all, which must be repaid. The local government now has a lot of foreign debt. If a project has no potential to be tapped and loans are taken blindly, it will be tantamount to constantly adding burdens to local development. Therefore, it is necessary to assess whether the project has growth potential.
The overt inspection was, after all, just a cursory review. After visiting the last enterprise, Fang Zhicheng privately told Shang Yan that the process could be simplified and a green channel could be opened, but the hard conditions must be met.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, a banquet was held in the Golden Hall of the Guest House to entertain Fang Zhicheng and his party. Unable to resist Qiao Jinpeng's persuasion, Fang Zhicheng drank a lot of wine and was finally carried to the room by Shang Yan.
After helping Fang Zhicheng take off his clothes and wiping him with a wet towel, Shang Yan suddenly stood beside him blankly, seemed to hesitate for a long time, and leaned over to give him a kiss. Seeing that Fang Zhicheng still didn't respond, Shang Yan got bolder and simply lay on his chest.
After a long time, Shang Yan stood up and walked out of the door slowly. Fang Zhicheng dared to open his eyes only then. He sighed helplessly, thinking that Shang Yan was too deeply in love.
Just as I was about to go to the bathroom and wipe my face, my cell phone rang. It was Monkey calling and reporting, "Boss, there's a guy sneaking around outside the door. I was afraid he might do something bad to you, so I detained him. I didn't expect he was an acquaintance, and he wanted to talk to you."
Chapter 1078 You Will Always Be My Sister
The door was pushed open, revealing a handsome face. Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but stand up, with surprise flashing in his eyes, and said, "Wanyu, why is it you?"
The person who came was Lu Wanyu, the sister Fang Zhicheng recognized many years ago. After many years, Lu Wanyu had changed a lot. She was wearing a white embroidered cheongsam, revealing the crystal white skin of her arms, towering breasts, graceful figure, and slender and straight legs. Although her face shape had not changed, her makeup had become mature and full of charm, giving people a sense of beauty that was both stunningly beautiful and a disaster for the country and the people.
Lu Wanyu sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Brother, are you surprised?"
