Chapter 737 Chinese New Year
"What are you thanking me for? Among the prefecture-level cities north of the Han River, Beishan is the one that's counting on you to rise and boost the economies of the six northern cities. If the provincial policies don't favor you, who will they favor?"
What Qu Zhengping said sounded very reasonable, but it didn't seem like something he could use to make a deal.
In fact, he didn't want to criticize, it was mainly because plans could not keep up with changes.
The Director of the Grain Department was not appointed by his secretary Li Yongbao as he had planned, but was replaced by his childhood friend Gao Yuan (a member of Tiandi Liangren).
He knows his childhood friend well and he cannot tolerate any injustice.
As long as he conducts a field investigation in Beishan, he will definitely approve the grain, so it would be better for him to exchange it for certain political benefits.
He Anxia didn't know the story behind this, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Governor Qu. The arrival of this grain has been a great help to us. The last fire burned a lot of holes, and today we have repaired them."
Qu Zhengping and He Anxia smiled at each other and reached a tacit consensus.
As we were talking, the car arrived at "Green Farm".
After receiving the news, Xu Keming, the boss of "Green Pastoral", had been waiting at the door for a long time. He not only invited the media, but also organized a group of students to hold flowers and banners and held a grand welcome ceremony.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome, welcome, warm welcome..."
Qu Zhengping frowned, "Comrade Anxia, what are you doing..."
He Anxia explained, "This was organized by Mr. Xu himself. It's a token of gratitude from this agricultural entrepreneur. If you can come to his base, and he promotes it tomorrow, the stock might go up a few points. This little expense is nothing."
Qu Zhengping's brows relaxed as he smiled, "They were able to become rich first and take advantage of every opportunity. This alone is something that ordinary people cannot compare to."
……
In a high-end villa in the provincial capital of Hanjiang, a harsh phone call broke the silence.
Qi Tongwei woke up suddenly, covered the phone with his hand, and pressed the answer button in a daze.
"Hey."
"Tongwei, did I disturb your sweet dream?" Gao Yuliang's voice came from the other end of the phone.
When Qi Tongwei heard that it was his dear teacher Gao, he sobered up a little and said honestly, "A little bit."
"You kid!" Gao Yuliang laughed dumbly. Instead of being angry, he felt very happy. This proved that Qi Tongwei did not treat him as an outsider, nor was he unfamiliar with him.
"Are you awake now? If not, go back to sleep. I'll call you later."
"Almost done." Qi Tongwei asked, "Teacher, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"What? Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong?" Gao Yuliang asked back.
"I can, but you're a big mayor, and your time is precious. You definitely wouldn't call me for no reason."
Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "Nothing much. It's almost Chinese New Year, and your teacher Wu has been asking me to ask you if you will be back."
Qi Tongwei said: "I won't go back. I have already arranged my work for this year. I have to go to Kyoto to do some things on New Year's Eve."
Gao Yuliang thought Qi Tongwei was going to visit the Zhong family, and couldn't help but sigh that his student was really well versed in the officialdom.
"Work is important, work is important. So when will we return to Beishan?"
"I'm not sure, maybe the second day of the Lunar New Year. It depends on the situation. I won't stay in Kyoto for too long." After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "Maybe I'll go back to Handong."
Liang Lu will definitely go back for the New Year, and he might go to see Liang's mother.
"Then if you're sure, please write to me in advance."
"what happened?"
Gao Yuliang's tone was a little lonely. "Nothing, it's just... your teacher Wu missed you. If you go back to Handong, we can celebrate the New Year together. If not, your teacher Wu and I plan to go to Beishan to see you."
Qi Tongwei noticed something was wrong, "Fangfang didn't come back again this year?"
"She didn't reply. She said she was busy with her studies and couldn't spare the time." Gao Yuliang sighed.
Whether high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they will ultimately yearn for family affection and reunion.
After all, he only has one daughter, who lives far away abroad and cannot see her even if he wants to. This makes him think of Qi Tongwei, his son who is as close as a father to him.
Qi Tongwei said: "No problem, the flight only takes a few hours anyway, I will discuss it with you in advance."
Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "Don't forget to prepare a few more bottles of good wine."
"Don't worry, I may forget other things, but I will never forget this wine. How about Longteng wine? Support our Handong local products."
"This wine is good." Gao Yuliang paused and asked, "By the way, Tongwei, last time I told you about my distant cousin, have you met him?"
Qi Tongwei replied: "No."
Gao Yuliang said: "I heard a news from my hometown a few days ago that he was about to be promoted to director of the Grain Department.
Didn't you offend the vice-governor in charge of agriculture? Now that he's the head of the Grain Department, he should have some say. How about I come to your place during the New Year and introduce you to him?"
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "Sure, as long as your cousin doesn't mind, I have no objection."
When the grain prices in Beishan rose before, Qi Tongwei thought about contacting the other party, but then he thought that they were not familiar with each other, and bothering the other party as soon as they met would easily arouse disgust.
Besides, considering the other party's level, he might not dare to offend Qu Zhengping, so he never established this relationship.
"What are you complaining about? I was in touch with him a few days ago, and he was full of praise for you."
Qi Tongwei smiled and didn't take it seriously.
The endless praise in official circles is not of much value and is more about weighing the pros and cons.
His popularity in Han River is on the rise, so it's understandable that there are many people who want to get to know him.
"Okay, let's meet." Qi Tongwei stopped there and started talking about the recent situation of Hou Liangping and Zhao Xiaohui.
Mainly Zhao Xiaohui and Qi Tongwei wanted to know how far the other party's Jiangchang Automobile had come.
Gao Yuliang said: "It has been put into production. I think more than a thousand units have been produced so far. I heard from Liangping that sales are pretty good."
Qi Tongwei asked: "How much are they pricing?"
"Thirty-five thousand."
"Do you know how much it costs to make them?"
"I heard the cost is around 25,000."
It was similar to what Qi Tongwei estimated. He asked Wu Guo to find out and found out that Zhao Xiaohui's Jiangchang Automobile was actually just an empty shell.
All parts are purchased from major factories, except for the outer shell which is built and produced by ourselves, so the cost cannot be reduced, and it is not comparable with Beishan Automobile.
Apart from the engine, which is still under development, other parts of Beishan Automobile can be found in the state-owned enterprises controlled by the Beishan State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
The unit price is naturally compressed to the extreme.
Moreover, as an old industrial city, its industrial foundation is incomparable to that of the emerging port city of Haizhou, and the quality of its components is much better.
Of course, Handong also has many strong old industrial cities, but they are not concentrated in Haizhou. If you want to purchase, the freight cost is not a small amount.
So in overall comparison, Qi Tongwei's Beishan Automobile has a great cost advantage.
His own Beishan Automobile is going to be listed soon, and he cannot let Zhao Xiaohui take advantage of it. It seems that he has to find a way to solve this cancer.
