Ning Xiangcao shook her head and sighed, "It's not normal to be so enthusiastic about a friend."
Fang Zhicheng felt that there was something wrong with Ning Xiangcao's tone, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiangcao, are you jealous?"
Ning Xiangcao was slightly startled, and then a blush bloomed on her cheeks. "What nonsense are you talking about? I am just reminding you from a friend's perspective that you should pay attention to your lifestyle. After all, you are an official. Don't you know that most officials fall from power because of their lovers?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his finger and said with a smile: "When an official falls from power, it is usually not because of his lover, but it can only be said that it is because of his lover."
Ning Xiangcao chewed on his words and spread her hands, saying, "You, stop making excuses. Do you know why my grandfather wants to see you?"
Fang Zhicheng asked in confusion: "Why?"
Ning Xiangcao said, "You actually don't know. Grandpa has taken a fancy to you for a long time and wants to marry my younger sister to you. Grandpa Su came here today, I guess, to talk to Grandpa about you two." When Ning Xiangcao said this, her tone was a little stiff and her facial expression was also very unnatural.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know about this. However, I didn't agree to this, and there is no possibility that your little sister will agree to it. If they want to interfere in my life, they should listen to my opinion, right?"
Ning Xiangcao advised, "Zhicheng, don't be naive. Since both families think this marriage is okay, why not give it a try? For you, returning to the Su family, with the help of the Ning family, you will be able to thrive in the officialdom."
Fang Zhicheng laughed at himself and said, "Sister Vanilla, you still don't know me very well. I don't think the so-called future is very important. I think people should be more straightforward in life."
Ning Xiangcao knew that Fang Zhicheng was a man with free will. If she continued to persuade him in this way, she would get half the result with twice the effort and would not be able to achieve good results. She couldn't help but frowned and shook her head slightly.
Fang Zhicheng knew that Ning Xiangcao had good intentions. Realizing that he had just hurt her heart, he joked, "Sister Xiangcao, why don't you go back and tell Mr. Ning that forget about Little Sister Ning. If he is willing to marry Second Miss Ning to me, I can consider accepting it."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng teasing her, Ning Xiangcao glared with her beautiful eyes and showed anger on her face. Fang Zhicheng did not take it as an offense and met Ning Xiangcao's eyes. In the end, Ning Xiangcao could not resist Fang Zhicheng's shamelessness, so she lowered her head and changed the subject, saying: "Zhicheng, don't make such jokes in the future. I treat you as my younger brother. If you still do this, then I can only stay away from you."
The relationship with Ning Xiangcao was originally ambiguous. Fang Zhicheng did not expect Ning Xiangcao to react so directly and speak so solemnly. He suddenly realized that in Ning Xiangcao's heart, he had become her brother-in-law. In other words, Fang Zhicheng was already branded as Ning Xiaomei, so how could Ning Xiangcao be ambiguous with her brother-in-law
Fang Zhicheng said in an unusually serious tone: "Sister Vanilla, what I just told you is the truth. There is really no possibility for Ning Qiangwei and I. The reason why I met her for a blind date is because of you. I hope that in the future we can still be like before - close friends who can talk about everything."
Chapter 0614 Hostile Banquet
Can I really do it like before? Ning Xiangcao asked herself, and the answer was no. Perhaps because she knew that the other party was sincere and had feelings for her, Ning Xiangcao was repenting in her heart. Ning Xiangcao was a very sensitive woman and a devout Christian. The Bible stipulates monogamy for centuries, and prohibits polygamy or promiscuity, believing that it is the original sin of man and must be prohibited.
Fang Zhicheng didn't know what Ning Xiangcao was thinking, but he could clearly sense that something was wrong with her mood, so he changed the subject and asked some questions about the business of Huaying Investment Group. Huaying Investment Group became the largest force in the private sector to resist risks under the financial crisis. Huaying Investment has a special background, and it must actively rescue the market at critical moments, which determines that its profits are not as large as those of some private capital.
However, the financial crisis has been passed smoothly. Although the national economy has been affected to a certain extent, especially the economic depression in Europe, which has led to a decrease in orders for foreign trade-oriented manufacturing companies and the emergence of many bankrupt companies, many companies have begun to focus on domestic demand and actively expand the domestic market.
Huaying Investment started casting a wide net several years ago and achieved initial results, and the information provided by Ning Xiangcao was the most desirable.
Ning Xiangcao reminded: "The European subprime mortgage crisis has given China's real estate and financial industries a wake-up call. The real estate bubble is now extremely serious, so the government can no longer rely on land finance, and needs to find another way. Judging from the several areas that Huaying Group has invested in over the past two years, the Internet industry will be the explosion point in the future."
Fang Zhicheng has also heard of this view and paid attention to this field a few years ago. With the cultivation of several years and the maturity of Internet technology, the Internet has taken on various forms.
Fang Zhicheng asked with a smile: "Sister Xiangcao, how many years do you think it will take for the Internet industry to experience explosive growth?"
Ning Xiangcao said: "You may not know that since last year, several Internet companies have stopped losing money and have begun to make profits. So it is not surprising that within two to three years, this field will become a hot spot. The government can plan ahead in this regard, which may bring unexpected results to the local area."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Xiaguang District originally had an industrial park, but now the production conditions of industrial enterprises are worrying, so in the third phase I have begun to gradually change my thinking and introduce some high-tech industries and Internet-related industries."
Ning Xiangcao heard this and said with a smile: "So you were waiting for me here!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Sister Xiangcao, you have a wide network of contacts, so please come forward to help us get some resources. In terms of policy support, please rest assured that we will give you the greatest discount."
Ning Xiangcao nodded, and after a moment's silence, she said, "In fact, most Internet companies are asset-light enterprises. These companies do not have bulky equipment and only need to provide office space and supporting integrated living areas. Hanzhou is a city with cultural heritage. If the integration measures are well implemented, it may be able to achieve something."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "In fact, Xiaguang District has already made a plan to build two major incubators based on the industrial zone. The first is a high-tech enterprise incubator, which mainly incubates the Internet field, and the other is an e-commerce incubator, which mainly designs and plans for e-commerce, including customer service and logistics required by e-commerce. If built, it will become the largest Internet research and development gathering place in Huainan."
Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "This is a brand new field. Last year, Zhejiang Province had already started planning in this direction, but no one knows what the future will be like. Will this be a losing business?"
Fang Zhicheng showed a determined look in his eyes, and said: "This is a brand new field with many unpredictable things, but because of this, it is a different starting point. If Hanzhou can keep up with this round of layout, it can rise again."
Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "You are more optimistic than many people. I have come into contact with many government officials, and most of them are not optimistic about the Internet industry, believing that it is a very imaginary field."
Fang Zhicheng said: "In fact, the Internet has begun to impact traditional industries. For example, people no longer buy newspapers to read news. They can quickly obtain relevant information through search engines if they want to know anything. In addition, e-commerce will also become a major trend. People can buy things through online shopping malls, and they can also become sellers through online shopping malls to sell things."
Ning Xiangcao nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have studied this industry so thoroughly."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I prefer new things. I pay special attention to these new words. I have also been paying attention to e-commerce for four or five years."
As early as 2004 and 2005, Fang Zhicheng reminded Zhao Qingya to start investing in industries related to e-commerce. Facts have proved that this was a very successful prediction. Now Hongda Group has classified its Travel Ping An Network and another newly acquired e-commerce online mall as important strategic plans of the group.
Internet concept stocks are very popular abroad, because the Internet-related industries abroad are more mature than those in China, and investors prefer such stocks with potential. Once the enterprises become bigger and stronger, they can bring huge returns to investors. Travel Ping An Network, a subsidiary of Hongda Group, has planned to be listed on the securities market in Hong Kong. It has held many negotiations with securities companies, and has been favored by several excellent securities companies. It has also begun to prepare for the road show.
Today's conversation with Ning Xiangcao once again strengthened Fang Zhicheng's determination to build an Internet-related airport based on Xiaguang District and gain a favorable position in the next round of competition.
The third phase of the Xiaguang Industrial Park project has basically taken shape. Fang Zhicheng had a private chat with Mo Jin about this and mentioned his ideas. Although Mo Jin didn't quite understand Fang Zhicheng's ideas, he expressed his support. After all, Fang Zhicheng has basically controlled Xiaguang now, and Mo Jin has an accurate positioning of himself, and is more of an executor.
Chatting with Ning Xiangcao can easily stimulate thinking, because the roles of Huaying Investment Group and the government are actually very similar. As an investment group, it needs to have a long-term forecasting ability to know which industry has great potential and which direction can create sufficient profits. The same is true for the government, which needs to know the trend of economic development and then take advantage of it to provide sufficient impetus for the development of the city.
Both require vision, the difference is that the investment group has a broad vision that covers everything, while the government needs to comprehensively consider the advantages and disadvantages of each location and then choose a field to develop that has a strong fit with the local area.
Of course, Ning Xiangcao can also find a lot of inspiration in the process of communication with Fang Zhicheng. This mutual stimulation and attraction is two-way.
Before they knew it, they had been chatting for the whole afternoon. Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "There's a banquet tonight. Would you like to go with me?"
Fang Zhicheng asked curiously, "What banquet?"
Ning Xiangcao said, "It's a social gathering for classmates."
