The management model of Xiaguang District is very rigid. Although the performance appraisal system for civil servants has been implemented since the past two years, it has ultimately become a formality. If we want to change the current work style, we have to start with salary and benefits.
The news that Chen Chao was employed by Fang Zhicheng caused a heated discussion in Xiaguang District. No one expected that Deng Shaoqun's personal secretary would be entrusted with an important task by Fang Zhicheng. Not only was he not put on the bench as imagined, but he was also promoted to a higher level and appointed as the director of the district party committee office.
The Standing Committee of Xiaguang District is quite special. In many other counties and districts, one can enter the Standing Committee simply by holding the position of director of the district party committee office. However, even if Chen Chao did not enter the Standing Committee, the power in his hands cannot be underestimated.
Fang Zhicheng's move also had other benefits. Deng Shaoqun and Ma Zhencai's fall from power had caused panic in the Xiaguang officialdom. Everyone was afraid of getting too close to these two former leaders. But Fang Zhicheng sent a good signal by re-employing Chen Chao. He really didn't care about the past anymore. As long as he had the ability, Fang Zhicheng would boldly use him.
A lot of things happened in Xiaguang District last year, and the officialdom needs to be stabilized as soon as possible. Even without considering Chen Chao's ability, Fang Zhicheng would consider using similar methods to gather the originally restless people in Xiaguang.
…
In the evening, Fang Zhicheng received a call from Wan Heng, inviting him to a dinner party. Fang Zhicheng understood that the purpose of the dinner party was probably to entertain entrepreneurs who had some relationship with Wan Heng. Wan Heng was the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. Although his position was very important, he could not form a direct interest relationship with the enterprises. However, if he brought Fang Zhicheng, a local government leader, to the dinner, he might be able to promote a project.
Fang Zhicheng's recent change in attitude towards Wan Heng is understandable. Compared with the past, although Fang Zhicheng's administrative level has not changed, Fang Zhicheng is now the Party Secretary of Xiaguang District and has a certain influence on the city's policies.
Wan Heng used to belong to the camp of former provincial party secretary Li Siyuan. Now Li Siyuan's faction has been successfully handed over to Song Wendi. In other words, Fang Zhicheng and Wan Heng now belong to the same big camp, so it is reasonable for them to take care of each other.
Fang Zhicheng still admired Wan Heng very much and had established a certain friendship with him. This person looked arrogant and difficult to talk to, but he was actually warm-hearted and very enthusiastic.
At 6:30 in the evening, Fang Zhicheng was sent to the dinner place by Guo Jinyuan. Fang Zhicheng knew that he would drink tonight, so he did not drive. Fang Zhicheng said, "Old Guo, I am afraid I will trouble you tonight."
Guo Jinyuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay for me to go back too early. I'll walk around and pick you up after you finish your meal."
Fang Zhicheng admired Guo Jinyuan's character. He was very suitable to be a full-time driver because he was not talkative. In addition, Guo Jinyuan had a characteristic. In normal dinner parties, the host would prepare a separate table for the secretary or driver, but Guo Jinyuan would not attend such social gatherings unless there were special circumstances.
Fang Zhicheng walked slowly to the private room on the second floor. Fang Zhicheng had never been to this hotel before. Judging from the decoration, the hotel was run quite professionally and was a Beijing-style restaurant.
Wan Heng and his companions arrived at the box first and were playing cards. When they saw Fang Zhicheng walk in, Wan Heng quickly introduced him to a middle-aged man beside him, "Lao Feng, let me introduce you to Fang Zhicheng, the youngest district party secretary of Hanzhou." Then he introduced Fang Zhicheng, "Lao Feng, my college classmate, now the general manager of the Asia region of a multinational company. I'm afraid few people don't know this company - Linjie Group."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Hello, President Feng!"
President Feng handed over a business card, which was quite gentlemanly. Fang Zhicheng had been prepared and handed over his own business card in return. Few government officials have business cards, but Fang Zhicheng is different. He had worked in the investment promotion system for a period of time and was used to dealing with entrepreneurs, so he liked to carry business cards with him. While entertaining, he also did not forget to advertise for the local government.
Feng Jiashan glanced at the business card briefly. He seemed to be smiling, but his attitude was a little indifferent.
The reason why I attended this dinner tonight was because Wan Heng took the initiative to invite me. Linjie Group is the world's largest daily chemical product production and marketing company, and its product coverage in China is as high as 70%. In short, most of the toothbrushes, toothpastes, shampoos, etc. used by ordinary people in their daily lives are provided by Linjie Group. Linjie Group is preparing to invest in the largest logistics and warehousing company in East China in the near future, as a commodity circulation hub for the entire East China region. When Wan Heng heard the news, he naturally wanted to move this logistics center to Hanzhou, but he was not familiar with the investment promotion process, so he pulled Fang Zhicheng in.
However, Hanzhou's geographical location is somewhat remote, and its economic strength is only in the middle and lower reaches of Huainan. Fengjiashan has already contacted several other cities and has basically confirmed his intention. In other words, Fengjiashan's meeting with Wanheng tonight is just a symbolic perfunctory gesture to give his old classmate some face. After all, Wanheng is now a deputy department-level cadre with a high position and power, and he will be useful in the future.
As the wine got to his heart's content, Wan Heng finally revealed his purpose and said with a smile, "Lao Feng, we had an average relationship during college, but now you are the only one I contact the most. I heard that Linjie Group is planning to build a logistics warehouse in East China, and I hope you can support my work."
Although Feng Jiashan was a little drunk, his mind was very clear. He changed the subject and said, "Lao Wan, you mentioned the university. I have something that has been bothering me. You stole my favorite girl. For this reason, you must drink a glass of wine."
Wan Heng smiled faintly, "Okay, I'll drink a glass of wine as punishment!"
Fang Zhicheng knew that it would be difficult to achieve the desired effect at today's dinner, so he was not so enthusiastic. However, Feng Jiashan found Fang Zhicheng and said with a smile, "Secretary Fang, can you sponsor us as well?"
Fang Zhicheng stood up and said, "I can't drink much, but since President Feng has spoken, I'll have a drink with you." This was all to give Wan Heng face.
Wan Heng drank a little too much and was about to go to the bathroom. Fang Zhicheng was a little worried, so he accompanied him.
Wan Heng lay beside the toilet and vomited for a while, then wiped his mouth and smiled bitterly: "This Feng Jiashan, he didn't do well before, but now he knows how to act arrogantly."
Fang Zhicheng suddenly realized that the relationship between Wan Heng and Feng Jiashan was actually just ordinary, but for the sake of local development, Wan Heng put aside his pride and invited Feng Jiashan to the dinner. It was said that Wan Heng had an arrogant personality, but he was constantly trying to please Feng Jiashan tonight.
Wan Heng is worthy of respect.
Chapter 0606 Inexplicably Bad Temper
"Minister Wan, I have something to advise you. Attracting investment is like marrying a wife. It's hard to force it. Linjie Group obviously has no intention of settling in Hanzhou. I don't think we need to force it." Fang Zhicheng waited for Wan Heng to finish speaking and said patiently, "In fact, Linjie Group seems to be very good now, but its model may not be suitable for Hanzhou."
Wan Heng sighed lightly, with an unhappy look on his face, "Feng Jiashan originally took the initiative to contact me, and I thought the success rate would be high, so I asked him to come to Hanzhou to meet. I didn't expect him to deliberately act like a big shot at the dinner party today."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I think we should just deal with the matter on the sidelines. Since he is unwilling to make this investment, there is no need to beg him for it."
Wan Heng nodded and scolded with a smile: "Zhicheng, you are really experienced in attracting investment. Damn, I got drunk just to deal with this guy." Wan Heng was always polite in front of others and rarely lost his composure like this. Fang Zhicheng saw the true side of Wan Heng and also felt that he had become one step closer to him.
Fang Zhicheng accompanied Wan Heng back to the private room. Feng Jiashan said with a smile, "Old Wan, how come your alcohol tolerance is worse now than it was back then? I remember you could drink at least one catty, but today you drank less than half a catty and went to the toilet to avoid the alcohol."
Wan Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "My health has been declining in the past two years, and my stomach is not very good, so I can't drink it."
Feng Jiashan spread his hands and said, "Well, since you are not feeling well, I won't force you. Our friendship doesn't have to be measured by how much wine we drink."
Fang Zhicheng raised his glass and said with a smile, "Boss Feng, what you said just now was a little inappropriate. Although Minister Wan can't drink because of his health, there are still so many people at the table to accompany Boss Feng. So I'll toast you a glass."
Feng Jiashan was slightly startled. He originally wanted to ridicule Wan Heng, but he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to show up halfway. Feng Jiashan frowned slightly and smiled, "Wan Heng, are you prepared today?"
Wan Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I mainly want to accompany you well."
Fang Zhicheng clinked glasses with Feng Jiashan very readily. Feng Jiashan was in a dilemma because he had provoked Wan Heng first. Feng Jiashan didn't know if Fang Zhicheng could drink, so he clinked glasses with him and they both drank it all. Fang Zhicheng held the glass and said, "Just now I toasted you a glass for Minister Wan's discomfort, and now I toast you a glass on my own behalf."
Feng Jiashan was a little confused. He thought he could drink a lot, but Fang Zhicheng was a young man and he was drinking so frequently. He was afraid that he had bad intentions. Feng Jiashan had no excuse to refuse, so he drank another glass with Fang Zhicheng.
After drinking two glasses of wine very quickly, Fang Zhicheng felt like his stomach was on fire, but he reminded himself that he had to toast with a third glass. So he picked up the bottle and poured another glass. Feng Jiashan finally changed color and said, "Secretary Fang, are you trying to get me drunk? I dare not drink this third glass with you."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "General Feng, a guest is a guest. On behalf of all the people in Xiaguang District, I welcome your arrival. You gave face to Minister Wan and also to me. Could it be that you will not give the names of the people in Xiaguang District?"
Feng Jiashan quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Secretary Fang, you are putting too much on the hat. The common people have the most face, and they are also the breadwinners of our company. Who dares not to give them this face?"
