Fang Zhicheng carefully put the money into his wallet and said cautiously, "This time it was Secretary Jin who gave in. How could I dare to gamble with you next time?"

Jin Feng smiled faintly, still holding his head high and leaving in a high-profile manner. Fang Zhicheng stared at Jin Feng's back for a while, thinking that Jin Feng might not have thought it through. He seemed to have lost because he deliberately let the opponent win, but the reason for letting the opponent win was also because he felt guilty.

Losing is losing, there is no reason. No matter how many reasons you have, they cannot change the result, they are just excuses.

After leaving the fishing ground, the car drove straight to Song Wendi's home. Fang Zhicheng carried the fish into the living room and found that there was already a guest inside. It turned out that Song Wendi had already made an appointment with Qiu Hengde to come over to eat fish. Fang Zhicheng helped Xiaoyan prepare dinner in the kitchen. Xiaoyan saw that Fang Zhicheng was very capable in killing fish, cutting fish, picking vegetables and washing vegetables. She liked him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Fang to be so capable."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "If I didn't know Secretary Song's taste, I would be fully confident that I could perform well as the chef."

Xiaoyan covered her mouth and smiled, "I can't agree to that. Wouldn't that mean my job will be taken away by my elder brother? If my uncle sees me, he will criticize me."

About half an hour later, Xiaoyan served the dishes such as fish skin salad, fish head with chopped pepper, braised carp, crucian carp soup, etc. to the table. Qiu Hengde came over to take a look and said with a smile: "Secretary Song, my visit tonight was not in vain. It's great that I can actually have a full fish banquet tonight. The food is comparable to that of a big hotel."

Song Wendi came over, nodded and smiled, “Not bad, Xiaoyan is a good cook, but there are a few dishes that are quite fresh, I have never eaten them before.”

Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Brother Fang and I made this together. I can't make the fish roe tofu stew and the fish skin salad, so the credit doesn't belong to me."

Song Wendi was curious about the cold fish skin, so he took a chopstick and tasted the coriander and fish skin together, giving off a fresh and crisp taste. He couldn't help but nod his head. Then he saw Fang Zhicheng walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron. He smiled and waved for him to sit down quickly. He sighed, "Xiao Fang, please sit down quickly. Come drink a few more glasses with me and Lao Qiu today."

Fang Zhicheng held the cup, not timid at all. The two people in front of him were the seniors he relied on most in his current career. He remained sincere, took the initiative to toast them, and drank the two taels of white wine in one gulp.

Fang Zhicheng's alcohol tolerance is indeed poor, and I don't know how he got drunk...

Chapter 0049: Stay Calm in Every Major Event

Southern Kingdom is the leading garden-style community in Yinzhou. In 1998, a well-known real estate developer in Yinzhou auctioned off the land on the east side of Yuhu Park at a sky-high price, and then built a well-arranged building complex. Southern Kingdom has now reached the third phase of construction. The exterior of the buildings is made of blue bricks and white powder, forming a unique style. There are several artificial lakes in the community, creating a picture of a Jiangnan water town. The community is surrounded by greenery, and there is an open space suitable for leisure and fitness every 100 meters, forming a harmonious and livable picture.

In the northeast corner of the Southern Country, the area closest to Yu Lake and with the best view, there are nearly twenty foreign-style villas, where the group of people living at the top of the Yinzhou pyramid gather.

Since moving to the Southern Kingdom last year, Jin Feng suddenly felt like he had lost his goal. Although his current administrative level was not high, his living standard had already reached the top, and he had no motivation to continue in Yinzhou. So he had communicated with the old man in Yanjing several times, implicitly expressing his desire to change his position.

The old man did not agree and only said two words: "calm down".

"When faced with great events, one should be calm and composed. I do not believe that there are no wise men in the past" comes from a couplet by Weng Tonghe, a famous figure in the late Qing Dynasty. Most young people today are impetuous, and few of them can fully understand the connotation of the word "calmness".

Jin Feng realized that he was still not mature enough in the eyes of the old man, and hoped to stay in Yinzhou for a few more years, calm down, and then move forward. Jin Feng was only 28 years old and was in the stage of laying the foundation. If the foundation was not solid, it would bring great risks in the future.

But Jin Feng disagreed with this view. That was the idea of the older generation. The times are different now. Young people are required to combine movement and stillness. Just being still is not enough. They also need to have agile thinking and a proactive spirit. So Jin Feng argued with the old man, but the final result was as he expected. The old man still asked him to wait quietly in his current position.

Jin Feng stood in front of the French window and looked for a long time. Two luxury cars were parked at the door, one was a Porsche Cayenne and the other was a Maserati GT. Five or six minutes later, Yin Xiong and Shi Dong walked into the living room with their arms around each other. Seeing Jin Feng in deep thought, they both subconsciously kept silent.

Jin Feng turned around, waved his hand, and asked the two to sit on the sofa. He then took out a bottle of expensive foreign wine from the wine cabinet, poured a glass for each of them, and said softly: "I called you over so late because I have something urgent to discuss."

Yin Xiong took a sip of wine, frowned, and asked in a rough voice: "Is there a problem with the Yuhu Ecological Zone?"

Jin Feng nodded and said softly, "Mayor Xia has given in."

Xia Xiang's concession on the Yuhu Ecological Zone project means that many areas involved in the project are facing a reshuffle. Yin Xiong and Shi Dong both started their businesses in the Yuhu Ecological Zone. If there is a reshuffle, the companies they invested in the Yuhu Ecological Zone will be the first to be affected.

After several years of development, Yuhu Ecological Zone has initially formed a complete industrial chain, among which organic eco-tourism and organic agricultural base are the two core chains.

Green, environmentally friendly and pollution-free organic food is still a luxury in China and the market has not yet been fully formed. However, it is very popular abroad. Jinli Organic Food Company, founded by Yin Xiong and Shi Dong, controls the sales channels of organic agricultural products in the Yuhu Ecological Zone. With the help of Jin Feng two years ago, it opened up foreign import channels and made considerable profits.

Originally, the Yuhu Ecological Zone was a project personally led by Xia Xiang, so naturally the profit pie was monopolized by Yin Xiong and Shi Dong. However, if Song Wendi intervened in the ecological zone, he would definitely take action, which would inevitably seriously affect their own interests, so they had to be vigilant.

Shi Dong said sharply, "In fact, we are already prepared for today. If you give a signal, we can ensure that Song Wendi will not leave the fishing ground."

Yin Xiong also nodded and said, "So what if he's the municipal party secretary? We're not afraid of him. If we teach him a lesson, he'll be more obedient."

Jin Feng's face turned grim, and he shook his head and sighed, "Song Wendi is not as simple as you think. Mayor Xia gave in because the demolition three years ago was brought up again. If you take action again, wouldn't you be walking into a trap? Song Wendi has a deep background in the provincial party committee, which is beyond our expectations. You may have dared to risk everything in the past, but the situation is different now, and we need to take a long-term view."

Yin Xiong and Shi Dong fell silent.

Although the brutal and violent demolition incident that occurred in Yinzhou three years ago was not intentional by the two, it was also indirectly related to them. What the province knew was just the tip of the iceberg. If the Yinzhou government had not taken confidentiality measures, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The two might not have cared at the beginning, but it is different now. They are now the youngest richest people in Yinzhou. If they are implicated in that storm, their wealth, social status and future prospects may all be gone.

Yin Xiong said in a deep voice: "Brother Feng, we all listen to you."

Shi Dong also nodded seriously.

Yin Xiong and Shi Dong were both spoiled brats in the beginning, and their families had almost given up on them. It was only because of Jin Feng's guidance over the past few years that they have gradually reached their current positions and have been re-valued by their families. Yin Xiong and Shi Dong have long regarded Jin Feng as their idol, so they naturally follow his advice.

Jin Feng glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "You have made a lot of money in the past two years. Now is the time to spend that money. If you can take advantage of the momentum of ecological real estate, you can not only make some money, but also better maintain the existing industry."

Shi Dong asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Jin Feng said softly: "While the Yuhu Ecological Zone real estate project has not yet been put on the agenda, if we can buy the existing land first and gain ownership of the land, we will naturally be able to control the progress of the planning in the future."

Yin Xiong slapped his thigh, his eyes flashing with admiration, and exclaimed in a rough voice: "Brother Feng, you are awesome."

Jin Feng remained calm and ordered: "The news will spread quickly. You should hurry up and start visiting relevant departments in the next two days. If you encounter any obstacles, call me immediately and I will help you mediate and coordinate."

Shi Dong said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we will seize this opportunity."

There is still a large amount of low-priced land in the Yuhu Ecological Zone. Once the municipal government decides to launch the ecological real estate planning, it means that the land price will have the potential to rise sharply. Jin Feng saw this and revealed the news to Shi Dong and Yin Xiong. If the two of them seize this policy, they can make a lot of money.

This is the strength of Jin Feng. He was originally very resistant to making changes to the planning of the Yuhu Ecological Zone, but now that he sees that reform is inevitable, he reacted quickly and cleverly used the policy changes to bring himself the greatest benefit.
