"Where are we going now?" Chen Zheng suddenly asked.
Hu Xuefei¡¯s mother thought that since Chen Zheng was Hu Xuefei¡¯s boyfriend and came specially to celebrate her birthday, he must have made other plans. But in fact, Chen Zheng only met Hu Xuefei today and had no plan at all.
"I don't know either," Hu Xuefei thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to the beach? It's been a long time since I've been to the beach. Do you mind accompanying me?"
"Of course not." Chen Zheng smiled.
The two of them drove out of the city and arrived at a secluded beach.
It is said to be a beach, but in fact there is no beach. It is a hill with many strange rocks. The two of them are sitting on a big rock. In front of them is a steep cliff several meters high. Below, the waves are constantly beating against the rocks.
The bright moon was in the sky, and the waves reflecting the waves were shimmering. Hu Xuefei leaned on Chen Zheng's side and suddenly felt like she was back in college.
Romance can actually be quite simple. It doesn¡¯t require expensive fireworks, complicated lanterns, or even candlelight.
It¡¯s just that in such a quiet night, in such a profound scenery, the two of them rely on each other, without saying a word, it is romantic enough.
After being tired of this for a long time, Hu Xuefei said her first sentence: "My mother called me to the bathroom while eating today and asked me to get to know you well. I don't care who you are. What¡¯s your background? But I¡¯m quite interested in what you¡¯ve experienced in the past year or so.¡±
Chen Zheng smiled: "What other experiences have I had? I just told you. I just went to Africa and developed several oil fields."
"The environment in Africa is so turbulent. Compared to when you were in Africa, there must be many more exciting stories, right?"
This is indeed true. Chen Zheng smiled and briefly talked about some of his unforgettable things in Africa with Hu Xuefei.
Especially when it comes to details such as going to the rebel den to rescue the hostages, Hu Xuefei was horrified to hear it. But when she heard that Chen Zheng was received with the same treatment as the head of state, Hu Xuefei was extremely envious.
"I didn't expect you to have such a wonderful year." Hu Xuefei said with a smile.
"No matter how exciting it is, it is still abroad. My roots are still in China," Chen Zheng smiled: "No, after making money, I still have to come back to China."
"And you came to Haigang City this time and helped me solve a big problem. I really want to thank you."
Chen Zheng asked: "So, are you going to be promoted again?"
Hu Xuefei smiled bitterly: "This has nothing to do with promotion. You know, to be promoted, you have to do political performance projects. However, after I came to Haigang City to take office, although I also attracted investment and promoted the economy, it was not outstanding. My main energy was, Everything is focused on environmental protection and other aspects related to people¡¯s livelihood.¡±
Hu Xuefei said slowly.
It turns out that Haigang City, as an important seaport for oil import and export in the southwest region, has oil connections, so it spawned many oil refining companies.
In the past few years, pollution was extremely serious, and large refineries were still worse, especially those small refineries. They all use leftovers from large refineries to continue refining oil, which is a serious pollutant. Since Hu Xuefei took office, all these illegal enterprises have been shut down in a drastic manner.
Only some large enterprises that have adopted international advanced clean production technologies have been retained, such as Chenxi Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Co., Ltd.
The oil refining industry is an important economy in Haigang City. It is precisely because of Hu Xuefei's drastic actions that the economic level of Haigang City not only did not rise, but actually declined in stages.
"If you want to be promoted, no one will focus on environmental protection. This is not within the scope of performance evaluation, but I think since you have been an official for one term, you can't always think about getting promoted. This is the case for officials in many areas. They work hard to build political achievements. Vigorous economic development may make the economy look better for a while, but decades later, more and more money will be spent on re-governing it, which is a waste of money and resources. "
Chen Zheng nodded, he completely agreed with Hu Xuefei's idea.
"Originally, according to my idea, it would be good if these refineries closed down, because although they used advanced refining technology and equipment, they still polluted after all. I planned to build an industrial park 20 kilometers away from the city to wait for more in the future. All the oil refining companies will be relocated there. If these companies don't close down now, my approach will be really troublesome," Hu Xuefei added.
Chen Zheng smiled: "It seems that I did something bad this time with good intentions."
"Where is that?" Hu Xuefei smiled: "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously. Besides, you can help me solve it."With the problem of so many unemployed workers, if those companies are responsible for closing down, it will be a big problem for me to find various ways to resettle these workers. "
"What about the pollution problem from the refinery?" Chen Zheng asked again.
"We can only do it step by step, but in the future we still need to build an industrial park and move all these oil refining companies there, because although they are not in the urban area now, they are in the south of the urban area where the wind direction dominates. When the sea breeze blows, the air The impact of pollution is great. If the new industrial park is built in the northeast, it will not be affected by the wind. "Hu Xuefei said: "We don't have to worry about the resettlement of the unemployed now. I will start this matter in the next stage. It's a pity. But there is no good way to implement it.¡±
"Isn't it just to build an industrial park? What's so difficult about it?" Chen Zheng was puzzled.
"There are several models for building industrial parks. The current development model adopted in most areas in our country is to use a piece of land from the government planning department and establish an industrial park management committee. Under this organization, a development company will be established."
Hu Xuefei said: "But this approach has many disadvantages. First, letting a group of officials manage it can easily lead to corruption problems. In the end, the project will be subcontracted through layers, and kickbacks will be collected at every layer, and the funds will be seriously overrun. And secondly, even if none of the officials involved have corruption problems, they do not understand the market, let alone technology, and are not familiar with the operation of industrial real estate. This is indeed the reason why many in China lack scientific and reasonable positioning and planning. As a result, the developed industrial parks were unprofessional and companies were unwilling to come, and they all ended up being idle.¡±
Chen Zheng thought for a while: "What other models are there?"
"The other is to find a real estate investment and development company to do the project. They will first carry out various planning, then construction, and finally after the construction is completed, profits will be made through leasing, transfer or joint ventures. The profits are actually quite considerable. Foreign countries All adopt this model. But there are no such qualified companies in China, especially in our small county-level city.¡±
"This is easy to handle," Chen Zheng smiled: "What do you think of Chengde Real Estate?"
"You mean Chengde Real Estate in Canghai City?"
"That's right."
Hu Xuefei nodded: "This real estate company is qualified enough, but it is a company in Canghai City. Will it come all the way to our Haigang City to invest in construction?"
The boss of Chengde Real Estate is Zhou Zhili¡¯s father, Zhou Peigong. Maybe others don¡¯t know Zhou Peigong, but Chen Zheng heard Zhou Peigong say with his own ears that real estate companies do make money, but there is a shortcoming. It can only dominate in one place and cannot be like Chen Zheng's company. Go beyond regional restrictions, go nationwide, or even go abroad.
For Zhou Peigong, he has been waiting for an opportunity to step out for a long time, not to mention that this time he wants to develop the seaport city. In the future, using the seaport city as the most important port for his oil imports will drive the rapid development of the entire city. Zhou Peigong I couldn¡¯t ask for it more. How could you not want to?
"This matter is taken care of by me," Chen Zheng said: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you. Not only to achieve your ideals, but also to build the environment of Harbor City better than Singapore, but also to make you have Achievements."
"How can you achieve political achievements?"
"Environmental protection is not easy to achieve political achievements because environmental protection is difficult to do. But now people are calling for environmental issues. This will be taken more and more seriously. If Haigang City can be ranked first in the country, this will be the biggest political achievement. ." Chen Zheng smiled and said: "Although Canghai City is an oil import and export port, I want to help you build a huge smoke-free city not only domestically, but also one of the best in the world."
Hearing Chen Zheng say this, Hu Xuefei would smile heartily no matter whether he could do it or not.
Because Chen Zheng is probably the only one who truly understands and supports Hu Xuefei. Even Hu Xuefei¡¯s parents are completely different from Hu Xuefei on political issues. They think what Hu Xuefei is doing now is a waste of time and a delay in her future.
That night, Hu Xuefei and Chen Zheng sat at the beach until midnight before driving back.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there was a lot of work to do tomorrow, Hu Xuefei would even want to sit motionless with Chen Zheng until dawn.
When we returned to the hotel, it was already one o'clock in the morning, which was quite late, but for people who are accustomed to nightlife, this was a wonderful time.
Chen Zheng may not know that the few hours he and Hu Xuefei spent at the beach were enough for others to understand Chen Zheng thoroughly from the inside out.
At this time, there were four or five men with tattoos talking about Chen Zheng.
These four or five men were all sitting on recliners, and at the lower end of the recliners, a young girl was squatting at the feet of each of them.?It's pinching the feet of these men.
It turns out that this is a VIP box on the third floor of a bathing center. These four or five men are enjoying foot massage.
"This Chen Zheng was born in Qingshuihe Town. He walked out of the mountains two years ago and first went to Canghai City. Within a short time in Canghai City, he opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic and participated in the free fighting competition of fifteen Asian countries. He won the He won the championship and then opened a martial arts gym, which seems to be a good business. "
One of the men lying on the recliner was reporting the situation, and then said: "Boss, because he won the martial arts competition championship, he was also invited to make a movie. Do you still remember that movie that we all "Tai Chi" is a really fun movie to watch, right? This guy starred in it."
"Oh?" The man lying in the middle is obviously the boss of everyone else: "So it's him? That movie is really exciting. I'm his fan, hahaha. I didn't expect that this time he would do something to me. The idol took action."
"Boss, this Chen Zheng's business has grown bigger and bigger, and he even went to the United States, and a year ago he even went to Africa. The news said that the heads of state of several African countries have all met with him."
"Fuck, the director who went to Thailand to make a movie before was the one who played Zhu Bajie, and the Prime Minister of Thailand also met him. This is nothing surprising." The boss said, and suddenly cursed: "Damn it! What can I say? You¡¯re not soft either. I thought you were fucking fake, but you were wearing a mask!¡±
As she spoke, she kicked her legs and knocked down a girl who was squeezing her feet to the ground.
It turns out that the way girls here pinch people¡¯s feet is different from other places. They hold their feet in front of their chests and pinch them according to the usual practice. Can't wear breasts. It was precisely because the girl who was pinching the boss's feet today wore a bra that the boss felt very unhappy, so he got angry.
??????????????????????????????????????????????¡
"Black girl! You don't understand human language. Didn't I tell you just now? Why didn't you do it?" The foreman next to him rushed up. First, he slapped the girl named Heimei, and then quickly nodded and bowed to the boss. He said: "Master Hei, don't be angry. She is new here. I didn't teach her well and she doesn't know the rules yet."
"The new one? What's his name? Hei Mei?" After receiving a positive reply, the boss smiled: "My nickname is Lao Hei, and his nickname is Hei Mei. This is really fate."
It turned out that the boss was Fang Zhengxiong who was sitting in the car talking on the phone. The old black man who wanted him to deal with Chen Zheng was a local gangster in Haigang City.
Then he waved his hand again: "The new little girl, don't embarrass her, forget it, let her take off the hood here and continue to press it on me."
"Thank you Mr. Hei! Thank you Mr. Hei!" The foreman bowed quickly and then turned around. He scolded the black girl: "Why don't you untie it quickly?"
The black girl may have felt that this was too insulting, and there were tears in her eyes.
"Crying? Why are you crying? Didn't I tell you what work you were going to do before you came? Besides, didn't I give you money? If you work here for a week, is it enough for you to farm in the countryside for a year? I'll pay You work. It¡¯s a matter of course, why don¡¯t you explain it quickly!¡±
"Ican't I just quit?" the black girl cried.
"Quit? What kind of place do you think this is? Is it a tourist attraction? You can come when you want and leave when you want?" The foreman shouted: "I tell you, we signed a one-year contract. It's okay if you don't work. Want to go out? But you broke the contract first, so don¡¯t blame us for letting you go out sideways!¡±
It was a naked threat, but no one doubted that they could do such a thing.
"Stop being so angry, work hard for a year, and make more money to go home. Otherwise, you won't make any money. Losing money is not important. What's important is losing your life!"
Black girl is just a little girl, what kind of opinions do she have? In desperation, she had no choice but to give in, put her trembling hands into the collar, and stretched out her chest. He pulled out the hood, shed tears silently and squatted on the small chair again, continuing to pinch Lao Hei's feet.
"That's right," the foreman then bowed respectfully to Lao Hei and said, "Master Hei, please enjoy it slowly. If you have any instructions, call me again."
After saying that, he stepped aside.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As the black girl massages the sole of one of Lao Hei¡¯s feet, he has already moved the other foot to the black girl¡¯s chest. It is soft and feels extremely comfortable.
"It's great!" Lao Hei said with an intoxicated look: "I didn't expect that our CNOOC Gang could get to where we are today. It's really not easy."
"Yes, yes." A group of boys nearby agreed.
"Don't worry, you are all the veterans of our CNOOC Gang. I have money, and I don't care about any of you."?Wrong treatment. "Old Hei said again.
Speaking of the CNOOC Gang, although the local people in Haigang City don¡¯t know the details, they have heard some rumors. It is a gang that has suddenly emerged in recent years. social organization.
As the saying goes, you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you rely on water to eat water. It is considered that Haigang City is a port and a port for oil import and export, so the CNOOC Gang relied on this to develop.
In the beginning, they started by stealing oil. They stole the oil and sold it to nearby refineries in urgent need of raw materials at high prices. They were also known as oil rats.
Lao Hei was the leader of this group of oil guzzlers, but later they felt that this title was too unpleasant, so they established their own CNOOC gang.
I accumulated my initial capital by stealing oil. Later, when I got rich, I felt I could no longer do such petty theft, so I simply turned to smuggling crude oil.
Smuggling it from abroad and selling it at a high price, many private refineries have no problem selling it at a high price.
Later, based on this, they established businesses such as Duojia Bathing Center in Haigang City. In order to find a protective umbrella, they even roped in the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau to become a shareholder.
It was said that it was a stock investment, but in fact, Fang Zhengxiong did not pay a penny, but only received huge dividends every year.
"This Chen Zheng, if he dares to offend Master Fang, will live forever. As the saying goes, there are only two kinds of hatred, namely the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of seizing his wife. If he dares to snatch Master Fang's woman, hum" Lao Hei After thinking for a while, he asked specifically: "Listen to what you said, this guy has no impressive background at all?"
"He has no background, and he is now doing oil business in our seaport city. He has bought a lot of crude oil and said he wants to sell it to several large refineries, and they have already contacted him."
"Mom, are you trying to steal business from me? It seems that this kid must die!" Lao Hei got angry.
It doesn¡¯t matter if you steal a few customers, but if the price of Chen Zheng crude oil is not high, how can I sell it? Where are the huge profits left?
¡°Perhaps at first, he just wanted to help Fang Zhengxiong, but by this time, he had transformed into his own power, just like a tiger and a lion peeing everywhere, encircling their own territory, and guarding their own hills.
"Yes, yes, this will also let others know that it is not easy to do crude oil business in Haigang City. In case someone comes over blindly in the future and asks us to do it again!" The boy next to him was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
