Chapter 560 [Communication] (Part 2)(1/2)
Yuan Bo invited Zhang Yang to dinner to dinner not just to welcome him. Since Yuan Bo took over Wangjiang Tower, his business has been booming. He has opened four branches in Dongjiang. Although Dongjiang is the provincial capital, the market is limited after all, so Yuan Bo has plans to expand and develop. Originally, he first considered his hometown Jiangcheng, but after several inspections, he found that Jiangcheng's catering market has many brands, and the two most influential catering industries are Qiao Mengyuan. Jiangcheng people have a heavy taste and are more salty and spicy. Yuan Bo gave up his plan to use Jiangcheng as the first stop to open up the market, and he turned his attention to Nancy. After all, the cuisine of his hotel mainly focuses on Huaiyang flavor, which is more in line with the taste of Jiangnan people, and it is easier to expand south.
Because the purpose was to talk about things, Yuan Bo did not invite anyone else that night, only him and Zhang Yang. When Zhang Yang saw that Yuan Bo did not invite others, he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart. He expected that Yuan Bo had something to talk to him alone, and sat down with a smile and said, "What? I plan to have a heart-to-heart talk with me tonight?"
Yuan Bo smiled and said, "I asked them before. Liang Chenglong was in Nancy, Ding Zhaoyong couldn't get away, and Chen Shaobin was in Shanghai, so he hired Bureau Luan. They didn't give him face, so we were the only two of us left."
Zhang Yang said: "The two are good, and they drink alone and they don't have to worry about anything they say." Zhang Daguan Ren is increasingly disliked the crowded bar. If you really want to drink, it's better to have three or five confidants gather together.
Yuan Bo took out a bottle of Moutai and opened it, poured it on Zhang Yang, and poured it all over his wine: "I went to visit Fang Wennan two days ago, and his condition was much better."
Zhang Yang sighed and said, "The pain of losing a son is not so easy to overcome."
Yuan Bo said: "Fang Wennan and I are old classmates. Among our classmates, he is the smartest and most courageous one. When it comes to doing business, I am not as good as him." He is telling the truth. Fang Wennan is the first among their old classmates. Before he was imprisoned, his career was the most successful.
Zhang Yang said: "It's a pity that he went astray because of his son's affairs."
Yuan Bo said: "It will be out in three years. Originally, he still has his foundation. His younger brother Fang Wendong took out a lot of money to Hainan. In the past, he kept saying that he would wait for his elder brother to be released from prison and help Fang Wennan overcome the difficulties. Now he is the first person to run away. This kid is really not a good thing."
The fundamental reason why Fang Wennan asked someone to assassinate Tian Bin was exposed was Fang Wendong's betrayal. However, Fang Wennan forgave Fang Wendong, but he unexpectedly chose to betray him.
Zhang Yang said: "What does Fang Wennan think about this?"
Yuan Bo raised his glass and clashed with Zhang Yang. After fucking the glass of wine, he said: "He was very open-minded about this. He always wanted to leave. He saw Jin when he was good to him and who was not good to him."
Zhang Yang said: "After experiencing such great ups and downs, it is not easy for Fang Wennan to survive. I hope he can get out of prison as soon as possible."
Yuan Bo said: "He said he would start over after he was released from prison."
Zhang Yang was silent. Fang Wennan was nearly fifty years old when he walked out of prison. It was not easy to start over.
Yuan Bo sighed: "It's really sad to see Fang Wennan's present."
Zhang Yang said: "It is risky to do anything!"
Yuan Bo said: "I have another thing to look for you."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "What can I help you?"
Yuan Bo said: "I want to continue to expand my business. The first stop was initially selected in Nancy. I want to open a branch in Nancy."
Zhang Yang said: "The business is getting bigger and bigger, congratulations."
Yuan Bo said: "What's the matter with congratulations? Business must be constantly progressing. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Now the competition in Dongjiang's catering industry is very fierce. If I want to develop for a long time, I must open up new markets, otherwise I will be eliminated sooner or later."
Zhang Yang suddenly had an idea and smiled and said, "You are going to invest in a hotel in Nancy, but I have an idea."
Yuan Bo is very interested in this: "What are your thoughts?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "How do you think Haitian?"
Yuan Bo was slightly stunned. He knew the name of Haitian Hotel, but how could he transfer it to him when his business was booming? Yuan Bo said: "Haitian is very famous and is one of the benchmarks of the catering industry in Nanxi City."
Zhang Yang said: "If you are interested, I will help you pay attention."
Of course Yuan Bo was interested, but he felt that this matter was unlikely and whispered: "Would he be willing to transfer it to me?"
Zhang Yang said calmly: "You can't help him! You don't have to worry about this matter, wait for my arrangement."
Yuan Bo was overjoyed. At that time, Wangjiang Tower was Zhang Yang who helped him mediate. Zhang Yang had a lot of energy. If he could take Haitian down, he would be the noble person he was destined to be. Yuan Bo said: "I won't say much if I don't want to say anything else, wait for your good news."
When Zhang Yang got up to go to the bathroom halfway, he met Lei Guotao, director of the Dongjiang Investment Promotion Office. Lei Guotao saw Zhang Yang and walked over with a smile: "Director Zhang, such a coincidence!"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It has been several months since An Yuan left. Director Lei is doing well now?"
Lei Guotao smiled and said, "It's very good, it's very good!"
Zhang Yang still felt a little strange when he saw Lei Guotao. When he met Lei Guotao on the train, they sat in the same soft sleeper car. When they met a female thief Tong Xiuxiu, Tong Xiuxiu stole all their things. Even the letter written by Mr. Qiao was taken away by her. When Mr. Qiao saw Mr. Qiao's signature, Tong Xiuxiu took the initiative to send Zhang Yang's things back. Zhang Yang also learned that Tong Xiuxiu was from the National Security Bureau 7. Her purpose of stealing was to collect evidence that Lei Guotao betrayed the state's trade secrets.
Zhang Yang thought Lei Guotao had been arrested for a long time, but he didn't expect that this guy was still in the position of director of the investment promotion office. It seemed that he was doing well. The last time he lost things did not seem to have caused him much trouble. Is it because the evidence is insufficient, or is it that Guoan wants to take a long line to catch big fish? The details are unknown.
Lei Guotao said: "I will receive a group of Korean guests tonight!" While speaking, a young Korean man came over. Zhang Yang looked familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he turned out to be Park Jung-yi, the young Dong of RG Group. Park Jung-yi was slightly stunned when he saw Zhang Yang. He was Zhang Yang's defeated man. He was almost shot down from the rooftop of the exhibition center hotel by Zhang Yang. Fortunately, Zhang Yang caught him at the last moment.
Park Jung-yi knew Zhang Yang's power well. Although he always held a grudge against Zhang Yang, he did not dare to express too much resentment in front of Zhang Yang.
As time goes by, Zhang Daguan no longer cared about what happened before, and said to Park Jung-yeon with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Park, an old friend!" He took the initiative to reach out to Park Jung-yeon.
Park Jung-yi smiled reluctantly, but still stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang turned to Lei Guotao and said, "RG has invested in Dongjiang?"
Lei Guotao smiled and said, "We are planning to build a Korean industrial park in Dongjiang Development Zone."
Zhang Yang said congratulations. When he was the director of Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office, he had a fierce competition with Lei Guotao about the settlement of South Korea's Blue Star Group. In the end, he won the victory and persuaded Kim Shangyuan to build the Blue Star Group production base in Jiangcheng Development Zone.
Zhang Yang wanted to say goodbye, but Lei Guotao said more: "Mr. Jin Shangyuan is here too. Why don't you go over and say hello?"
Zhang Yang was slightly stunned, but he didn't know that Jin Shangyuan had also come to Dongjiang. Since he knew that Jin Shangyuan was here, he had to say hello in terms of emotion and reason.
In addition to Kim Sang-won's presence tonight, Park Jung-yeon's father, RG Group's president Park Ji-shin, also came. Lei Guotao was able to invite these top figures in the Korean business world, and there was also a lot of energy. If Lei Guotao had not called Zhang Yang over in the past, they might have not called Zhang Yang over. After all, they were all directors of the investment promotion office and there was competition in their work. But now it is different. Zhang Yang has already done the work of the Sports Committee and has no conflict of interests with Lei Guotao.
Kim Sang-won has always had a good impression of Zhang Yang. He was very happy to see Zhang Yang. He invited Zhang Yang to sit down and smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come."
Zhang Yang has never had a good impression of Goryeo Bangzi, but is an exception to Kim Sang-won. Since that time in Nanhu, Kim Sang-won jumped into the cold lake water to save the children falling into the water. He admired Kim Sang-won very much. Zhang Yang said: "I came here for dinner by chance, but I didn't expect to meet Director Lei." Seeing Kim Sang-won, I couldn't help but think of Kim Min-e. I haven't seen her for a long time. I wonder if she has come with Kim Sang-won this time. With so many people, Zhang Da-won is not convenient for him to ask.
Jin Shangyuan nodded.
Zhang Yang picked up the wine glass toast for a week. Toasting is a unique etiquette for us Chinese. Zhang Daguan was there, and each of them toasted two glasses. When Park Ji-shin was toasted, Park Ji-shin's expression was indifferent. It was no wonder that there was a deep gap between him and Zhang Yang. Because of the RG selling packaging equipment to Jiangcheng winery, they had conflicts. At the Dongjiang Autumn Economic and Trade Fair, representatives of both sides performed a full martial arts campaign. Although this incident has been a long time, Park Ji-shin lost a lot. Not only money, but also reputation losses are difficult to estimate. Therefore, Park Ji-shin also remembered Zhang Yang, deputy director of Jiangcheng's investment promotion office at that time. Although Park Ji-shin's expression was indifferent, he did not refuse Zhang Yang's toast.
After a week of celebration, Zhang Yang found that all of them were big shots in the Korean business world, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity. He smiled and invited: "All the elites from the Korean business world welcomed to visit and guide China. I hope that our two countries can carry out more and more cooperation in the economic and cultural fields. As officials of Nancy City, I also hope that everyone has time to visit Nancy."
Lei Guotao smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you are openly digging me."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You seek cooperation in the economic field, and I seek cooperation in sports and culture, and we have no resistance."
The two of them laughed at each other.
Lei Guotao said: "Speaking of this, we will arrange to go to Nancy tomorrow."
Zhang Yang said: "Really?"
Lei Guotao nodded and said, "Everyone wants to go to Jinwan and visit the Korean Trade City in Jinghai."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I just took this opportunity to do my best as a landlord."
Lei Guotao smiled and said, "No, we have all arranged it. If Director Zhang is interested, just introduce the scenery to our guide Dangdang."
Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, Lei Guotao, Lei Guotao, this is not something I want to steal your business, it was you who took the initiative to give me the opportunity. Be careful that I fool all of these gangs into Nancy investment.
After leaving the room, Lei Guotao personally sent Zhang Yang out. He smiled and said, "I really didn't expect to meet you here. We will go to Jinwan to visit tomorrow morning. I didn't want to bother you, but these Koreans suddenly proposed to go to Jinghai Korea Trade City to see it. I was not familiar with the other side, and I was afraid that there would be any mistakes if there was no preparation there."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "This matter is easy to deal with, I'll arrange it for you." He called Deputy Mayor of Jinghai Wang Guangzheng in front of Lei Guotao.
When Wang Guangzheng heard that a Korean delegation was planning to visit the Trade City, he immediately said that he would make arrangements and would welcome the Korean delegation with the best appearance. He was very convinced by Zhang Yang now, and he agreed without hesitation about what Zhang Yang explained.
Zhang Yang put down the phone and smiled at Lei Guotao, "You have heard it all. Jinghai will prepare in advance tomorrow and will definitely present the best side of the Korean Trade City to these Korean merchants."
Lei Guotao smiled and said, "You are still making a lot of friends. I owe this favor first, and we will make up for it if we have it."
Zhang Yang said: "What kind of friendship we have? Can we be so polite?" In fact, he and Lei Guotao are just ordinary friends.
Lei Guotao suddenly remembered that he still owed Zhang Yang two hundred yuan. Last time he threw all his things on the train. Fortunately, Zhang Yang lent him two hundred yuan before returning to Dongjiang. He took out his wallet and said, "I owed you two hundred yuan last time."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I said why are you so pretentious? I forgot it. How big a thing do you still remember? You can treat me to a meal another day."
Lei Guotao did not insist when he heard this and smiled and said, "Okay, after this incident, I will treat you well."
Zhang Yang said: "Recruitment work is important, and you can eat anytime. Director Lei, you are really capable. These people are Korean corporate elites. It is not easy to invite them all."
Lei Guotao said meaningfully: "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. If we didn't think that our land of China is profitable, these Koreans would not have come here from thousands of miles away." He could see this very thoroughly.
Zhang Yang patted his shoulder and said, "I wish you success. I will return to Nancy tomorrow morning. If you have anything that cannot be solved, just contact me."
Zhang Yang's original intention of saying this was just to be polite. He did not expect Lei Guotao to really take the initiative to contact him.
When Lei Guotao called this call, Zhang Yang had just entered the outer ring of Nancy. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Lei Guotao's weak voice: "Brother Zhang..."
Zhang Yang said in surprise: "Director Lei, what's wrong with you?"
Lei Guotao was weak and said: "I had a stomachache yesterday, but I'm in the hospital for an IVF now."
Zhang Yang thought to himself that you were sick and didn’t have a good rest. What phone call to me? But he comforted him and said, “Director Lei pays more attention to rest.”
Lei Guotao said: "I'll ask you about Jinghai Korea Trade City... Brother Zhang, you'd better go there in person, I'm always worried."
Everyone said this, and Zhang Yang was not easy to refuse. Who made him agree so happily last night? He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go directly to Jinghai to receive it myself. When will they arrive?"
Lei Guotao said: "Liang Xiaoou, deputy director of our investment promotion office, led a team and set out for Jinwan early in the morning. He went to Jinghai for lunch at noon and ordered lunch at Yishang Ocean Garden Hotel. After lunch, he went to Korea Trade City in the afternoon and stayed for about an hour and a half to return to Dongjiang."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go there!"
Lei Guotao said: "Please, brother, I'm so embarrassed to bother you so much..."
Zhang Yang said: "All of you are friends, don't be so polite."
Zhang Yang hung up the phone, but did not enter the city, and drove straight to Jinghai. The biggest advantage of Zhang Daren is that he promised a fortune. Although his relationship with Lei Guotao is not very good, he also knows that Guoan has been investigating Lei Guotao, but he has to do what he promised to do. Who told him to help him yesterday?
It was only ten o'clock in the morning when he arrived in Jinghai. Zhang Yang went to Jinghai Municipal Government first and found Deputy Mayor Wang Guangzheng. Wang Guangzheng did not expect him to come. He stood up in surprise and said, "Why did Director Zhang come in person?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Director Lei from Dongjiang Investment Promotion Office is seriously ill. He can't come. He is worried that there will be problems with his investigation today, so I must come here."
Wang Guangzheng smiled and said, "Director Zhang is worried about my work."
Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to come either, but since I promised others, I have to do the things well. Besides, today's Korean inspection team is full of elite figures in the Korean business community, so I must leave a good impression on them."
Wang Guangzheng said: "I greeted Korea Trade City last night. I was well prepared and there would be no problem." In fact, there was nothing to do with preparation. It was just cleaning and sanitation, emphasizing discipline, so that ordinary operators would not talk nonsense. He smiled and said: "Are these Korean entrepreneurs planning to come to our Jinghai investment?"
Zhang Yang said: "I don't know, but Dongjiang has set up a Korean industrial park. Most of the entrepreneurs who came this time have decided to invest there, and Jinghai should have just passed by."
