Chapter 42 Chapter Forty-Two

At around six o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang, and Pei Xiaojun's face appeared on the video screen of the security system.Zhao Anbang's wife, Liu Yan, was overjoyed when she saw it, and said to Zhao Anbang who was eating, hey, Pei Xiaojun is here.Zhao Anbang continued to eat, this bastard is in a hurry, let him in! After a while, Pei Xiaojun came in.When I entered the door, I said, oh, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Liu, it’s really a coincidence that it’s better to come early than to come, just in time for dinner!With that said, he sat down at the dining table.Liu Yan smiled, and poked Pei Xiaojun's forehead with her hand, you kid, don't even say hello when you come over.Wait, I'll get you two more dishes and two drinks with your Uncle Zhao.Pei Xiaojun hurriedly stopped him, hey, Aunt Liu, please don't do it, I just want to drink some porridge.Zhao Anbang had already smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Pei Xiaojun's body at this time, so he also imitated Pei Xiaojun's tone and said, Aunt Liu, take a rest, Mr. Pei drank a lot, why do you need to fuss?Even if you give him fried dragon eggs, he won't pay you for the meal.After all, he pointed to the wine cabinet with the tip of his chopsticks, Mr. Pei, if you haven't had enough, continue to drink, there is it there, if you want to have porridge, go to the kitchen to serve it yourself!Pei Xiaojun smiled and said, okay, okay, I'll have porridge.Said, went to serve porridge.

Liu Yan is a little strange, Anbang, isn't Xiaojun the deputy mayor of Pingzhou?Why is Mr. Pei again?Zhao Anbang jokingly said, oh, Director Liu, I haven't had time to report this matter to you, I just moved, and now Xiaojun is the president of Beizhong Group.Liu Yan is very happy. Anbang, I have long said that Xiaojun is a good kid. He is stable, smart, and capable. He is most like Old Pei. Look, has he improved?At the age of thirty-eight, he was in the main hall.Pei Xiaojun came over with a big bowl of millet porridge. Isn't this all the result of Uncle Zhao's preference for training? There are many people who are more capable than me!Isn't that right, Uncle Zhao?Zhao Anbang said, as long as you know it, it is not me who trained you, but organizations at all levels, so stop talking nonsense outside.Pei Xiaojun is happy, isn't this at home!While drinking the porridge, he said, in fact, it was Aunt Liu who cultivated me the most. Aunt Liu kept all the delicious food for me, and she trained me to be full of flesh.Liu Yan giggled, stretched out her hand and slapped Pei Xiaojun, kid, are you praising me or blaming me?Do you want me to pay you to lose weight?You drink less and exercise more!

Then Zhao Anbang asked, hey, Xiaojun, did you drink a lot at noon?Where did you drink it? Pei Xiaojun half-truth, Uncle Zhao, I can't tell you this.You set a rule for me, I can't talk about work with you at home, and I have to talk about work matters in your office... Zhao Anbang frowns, and puts the chopsticks on the table, which is the opposite of you. Is drinking a job? Pei Xiaojun stopped drinking porridge, arguing that drinking is not work?It's a working lunch with the leaders of Beichai Group!Uncle Zhao, I am carrying out your instructions, peace is the most precious...

Zhao Anbang became interested, oh, tell me, tell me, after you have a drink, have you made up?What kind of harmony?Xiaojun, as I told you, I don't want to watch them fight like this all the time! Pei Xiaojun looked earnest, Uncle Zhao, can you make an exception and let me make a report? Zhao Anbang was in a good mood, and said, let's report, you just got up, I'll make an exception! Pei Xiaojun is happy, that's good, Uncle Zhao, let me finish the porridge and make a formal report. At this time, Zhao Anbang had almost eaten, left the dining table, sat on the sofa in the living room, lit a cigarette and started smoking.When Liu Yan saw it, she immediately yelled, Anbang, can you stop smoking?Look at this kid Xiaojun, I only told him twice before he quit smoking.Zhao Anbang said with a smile, forget it, you are the only one who believes in him, I can assure you that Xiaojun will smoke cigarettes when he leaves our house!Liu Yan asked Pei Xiaojun, Xiaojun, is it really like what Uncle Zhao said?Pei Xiaojun was very cunning, he didn't want to offend him, nor did he want to offend Liu Yan, he answered the wrong question, it's delicious, Aunt Liu, this porridge is delicious!Zhao Anbang laughed, and deliberately said that a cigarette after a meal is also very good, isn't it, Mr. Pei?Pei Xiaojun couldn't avoid it, but he said his words cleverly, Uncle Zhao, you are getting older, you really need to smoke less.

This is Pei Xiaojun, really like his father Pei Yihong, much stronger than his brother Dajun.No wonder Liu Yan fell in love with Pei Xiaojun, and even wanted to call Xiaojun to be his son-in-law.At that time, he and Pei Yihong had just formed a team, and they both lived on Gonghe Road. There was only a courtyard wall between the two families.As Liu Yan thought, the governor's only daughter married Lao Pei, the youngest son of the provincial party secretary. That was big news.If this is the case, how will he and Lao Pei still work in the future?What political influence?Zhao Anbang resolutely stopped Liu Yan, but this did not eliminate Liu Yan's sincere love for Pei Xiaojun.

Pei Yihong also had a private entrustment when he was transferred to Beijing. He hoped that his old buddy and old partner could help him keep an eye on his two sons who stayed in the Han River. Well, he is self-motivated and has a sense of responsibility. He is a good seedling. If possible, let him have more experience.It really made Lao Pei talk, Dajun really didn't let him worry, when Lao Pei left, Dajun was deceived, used by others, and involved in an extremely bad fraud case.After the case was reported, He Xinzhao, the new secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, issued instructions, demanding that no matter who was involved, they should be resolutely investigated and dealt with.Zhao Anbang bit the bullet and went to He Xinzhao, told about the situation of the army, and suggested that He Xinzhao call Pei Yihong in Beijing and report on the situation of the army.He Xinzhao was not stupid. Knowing that Pei Dajun was Lao Pei's eldest son, he stated at that time that since Dajun was taken advantage of by others, you and I were also responsible. Why bother the leader?Find a place where you can control him and control him.In this way, it was up to He Xinzhao to make the decision. Before the case was formally investigated, Pei Dajun was released first, and he was asked to work as a squadron leader in the traffic police detachment.But Pei Dajun, the squadron leader, had only been working for three months, and when he was drunk, he beat up his superior detachment leader, causing the detachment leader to break three ribs.After Zhao Anbang heard about it, he was so angry that he cursed in front of Liu Yan, saying why does Lao Pei have such a precious son? !This time I had to alert Lao Pei, so I reported the old and new accounts together.Lao Pei was furious after hearing this, and said on the phone, act according to the law, Anbang, you tell Xinzhao, you will be sentenced for a few years, only strict and not lenient!Zhao Anbang told He Xinzhao what Old Pei had said, and He Xinzhao smiled wryly and said, the leader's instruction is based on principle, but we really let the leader visit the prison while inspecting the Han River?The leader went to visit the prison, should you accompany me?In this way, Pei Dajun lost tens of thousands of yuan, and he was fine again, but changed from the squadron leader to the deputy squadron leader.Old Pei really didn't want to cause trouble for them, so he got Pei Dajun to do odd jobs in a big organization in Beijing, saying that he kept it by his side and someone was looking after him, so that Pei Dajun could feel more at ease.

Pei Xiaojun was the exact opposite of his brother, never causing him any trouble.The young man was the chairman of the student union at Hanjiang University. After graduating, it is logical to go to the provincial party committee or the municipal party committee in a developed city.But Xiaojun went to Pingzhou Diesel Engine Factory, which was very difficult at that time, saying that he wanted a professional counterpart.Afterwards, he worked his way up from the Pingchai factory step by step. After returning from graduate school, he successively served as the director of the Pingzhou Iron and Steel Factory, the deputy director and director of the Municipal Industrial Bureau, the county magistrate, the secretary of the county party committee, and the deputy mayor of Pingzhou.The young man never opened the back door in front of him and wanted to be an official. This was the case when Lao Pei was there, and it was still the same after Lao Pei left.As for whether it was taken care of by comrades in Pingzhou, he didn't know.He participated in the decision-making only once, which was the nomination of the deputy mayor of Pingzhou. At that time, he said something at the Standing Committee, regardless of whose son Pei Xiaojun was, he had to be admitted if he was qualified, and he should be trained well.Pei Dajun is also Lao Pei's son, but I don't agree with him being the mayor, nor does Lao Pei.

It was Lao Pei's intention to become the boss of Beizhong Group this time.During the two sessions of this year, Lao Pei was so busy that he invited him and He Xinzhao to have a meal at home, and specially invited the chef from Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to cook.While drinking, Lao Pei said that the small army is always in Pingzhou, which has some limitations!Do the two princes think about it and provide this child with some opportunities to practice?He Xinzhao said, old secretary, Anbang and I want to report this matter to you. Xiaojun, the deputy mayor, has been working for more than two years and has made great achievements. Next year, Pingzhou will be elected mayor after a new term. What do you think?Old Pei waved his hand, Xinzhao, look at you, you think I'm begging for an official for my son?Let him be the mayor?Xiaojun is a mechanical student. I want him to go to a large-scale conglomerate with a professional counterpart to experience it, and also understand what is going on with China's economic rise.The Pingchai Group he stayed in back then was pretty good. Now it has become the Beichai Group. Oh, by the way, Anbang and Beizhong Group are also very powerful. Don’t worry about their level.

After returning from Beijing, He Xinzhao discussed with him, saying that since Lao Pei ordered Beichai, should we arrange Xiaojun there?Zhao Anbang said, what is the arrangement?Beichai has become a truly international joint-stock company after absorbing and merging Hope Motor and Chia Tai Heavy Machinery. Will the major overseas shareholders agree that we should remove Sun Heping and replace him with Pei Xiaojun?Don't even think about it.He also talked about how Sun Heping used the market to gain power.He Xinzhao said, let's go to Beizhong, this is a large enterprise that we absolutely control.Zhao Anbang also said that this is also difficult. Yang Liu is not Sun Heping, and we can replace him with a transfer order, but the provincial government and I are not at ease!A super-large conglomerate with tens of billions of assets has done so well in Yangliu's hands. Is it a responsible attitude to hand it over to Pei Xiaojun who has no market experience?He Xinzhao smacked his lips, but it was true. I thought it was a simple matter, but I didn't expect it to be difficult.Zhao Anbang said that Xiaojun is also a good seedling. Old Pei has long-term ambitions, so he is right to think so. What I mean is, find a chance to transfer Zhou Zhou, the president of Beizhong, and let Xiaojun work under Yang Liu as the president.This is in line with Lao Pei's meaning, and it gives Xiaojun a stage to practice, so we can rest assured.He Xinzhao agreed, yes, yes, besides, the president of Beizhong is also at the hall level...

This was said in April, but it was delayed due to thoughtful arrangements.Zhou Zhou is a comrade with achievements, so he can’t just find a cold bench for him to sit on. You compete for hot benches, and there is no position, so he waits until the director of the Safety Supervision Bureau retires at a certain point, and asks the State Administration for approval. Went to the Safety Supervision Bureau.Originally Zhou Zhou and Pei Xiaojun could be appointed and dismissed at the same time, but unexpectedly, another accident happened.The head of the organization department talked to Pei Xiaojun, but Pei Xiaojun didn't want to go to Beizhong, saying that he had stayed in Pingzhou for so many years and had feelings for the land of Pingzhou and the people of Pingzhou.He Xinzhao truthfully reported to Lao Pei.Old Pei said, this bastard has become an official fan and wants to be the mayor!Don't let him do it, let him report to Beizhong Group, and dismiss him on the spot if he doesn't listen to the transfer of the provincial party committee!He also called Zhao Anbang and asked him to find time to talk to Pei Xiaojun.Coincidentally, Zhao Anbang was visiting Pingzhou that day, so he called Pei Xiaojun to talk.Pei Xiaojun wept and said that his father had scolded him, so let's go!Zhao Anbang said earnestly, Xiaojun, don't be confused, your old man is thinking about you in the long run, and your brother made him so sad, so you can fight for it.

Zhao Anbang was very happy to see that Pei Xiaojun was in such a good mood today, and that after taking office, he had made peace with Beichai according to his wishes, so he also broke the family's principle of not talking about work. At this time, Pei Xiaojun sat down on the sofa opposite after eating and drinking. Uncle Zhao, since you broke the rules, can I really report it?The time may be longer, I don't know Uncle Zhao... Zhao Anbang raised his hand and stopped in mid-air. Since it was a report, he was no longer Uncle Zhao! Pei Xiaojun immediately changed his words, Governor Zhao, the skirmish with Beichai will not be fought again, Beichai and we withdrew the lawsuit in Hong Kong and the provincial capital at the same time, and negotiated to resolve the remaining issues. Sun Heping has a good attitude. Zhao Anbang said, that's good, I am not against normal market competition, and I support your competition.But you can't be impulsive or emotional, and you can't disrupt the war for a long time.There is an advantage in transferring you to Beizhong: you were born in Beichai and have worked in Pingzhou for a long time, which can ease the conflict.You can get into the role so quickly, and you can negotiate with Sun Heping, which is very good. Hey, have you talked with Yang Liu? Pei Xiaojun said, we talked, and it went well.I expressed my attitude to Comrade Yangliu, and I must put myself in the right position and be the number one migrant worker.I also said that the group party committee should strictly demand me, entrust the difficult work to me, and consider others before enjoying the enjoyment. I must not let the comrades feel that I came to Beizhong Group to earn a high salary by relying on my father's relationship.Actually, I really want to stay in Pingzhou... Zhao Anbang said, hey, don't mention Pingzhou to me anymore, you are President Pei now!Mr. Pei, let me emphasize again that Yang Liu is a good comrade. You must seize the opportunity to learn from Yang Liu and strive to win more battles in the domestic and overseas markets. Now that the capital market is so good, you should all cherish it. Pei Xiaojun said, yes, yes, Governor Zhao, I am researching and studying now, and I have some preliminary ideas.I have to be honest today.In my opinion, there is a big crisis lurking in Beizhong at present. If you, the provincial party committee and the provincial government cannot pay enough attention, the market will be defeated no matter how good it is! Zhao Anbang was startled, this kid really dared to say that he came up with such a big idea within a few days of arriving at Beizhong Group, and he still set his position!Can Yang Liu and other old comrades in the group listen to such words?Then he sneered, Mr. Pei, you are really good, you have only been there for a few days?Did Huoyan Jinqing discover Beizhong's crisis?Still big?You said you said, where is the crisis?How big is it? Pei Xiaojun's tone was serious, Governor Zhao, in fact, you know this crisis, but you just don't want to face it squarely. Zhao Anbang was even more surprised. Comrade Pei Xiaojun, you are drinking porridge tonight. Are you still awake from the wine at noon?I don't want to face up to the crisis of Beizhong Group?How dare you accuse me like that? Pei Xiaojun was a little scared, hey, Uncle Zhao, don't be angry, just listen to me! Zhao Anbang is really angry, Mr. Pei, remind you again, it's not Uncle Zhao! Pei Xiaojun changed his words again, Governor Zhao, this crisis is really serious!Also listed in Hong Kong and the Mainland, Beichai Group holds shares from executives to employees, and there are option incentives.Starting from Sun Heping and Tianye, the main executives at the first level of the group are all worth over 100 million, or even hundreds of millions.Even if the middle-level cadres do not exceed 100 million, each of them is a master of tens of millions.As for NHI, Yang Liu, who is also the chairman, has a nominal annual salary of more than 8 million yuan, but he has never received it in fact.Not to mention other executives. It was only then that Zhao Anbang realized that Pei Xiaojun was bluffing as an important policy of the North, so he said bluntly, these are two different things!You have to make some sacrifices in terms of interests, what is it called! Pei Xiaojun said, yes, Governor Zhao, Yang Liu and I can make sacrifices, what about other talented and contributing comrades?Can they also be asked to make sacrifices for a long time?You know, we are now competing so fiercely with Sun Heping’s Beichai and international giants, what if the group’s outstanding talents are hunted away by the opponents one by one?I am not alarmist. In fact, several executives have been targeted by Sun Heping, JOP, and others.One of them is the VP of Marketing!Under the temptation of Sun Heping's high option salary, he may take our long-term accumulated customer resources to the past at any time.I was shocked when I learned the inside story, and begged Sun Heping to give me ten days to fight for the policy. If I can't fight, Governor Zhao, you and Secretary He Xinzhao should follow my father's opinion and dismiss me on the spot!Since I obey the decision of the provincial party committee, as the president, I have to be responsible to the Beizhong Group, so I can't bear failure under such a crisis and unfair competition conditions! Zhao Anbang noticed that after saying these words, tears appeared in Pei Xiaojun's big eyes. Pei Xiaojun looked at him with tears in his eyes, and said, Uncle Zhao, since I don't want to be the president anymore, I'm still Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao, even if you and Secretary He dismissed me, I wouldn't blame you!I am incompetent, I really have no ability to win the battle for the party and the country under such circumstances! Zhao Anbang couldn't keep silent anymore, he sighed, Xiaojun, what you said is indeed a crisis, it's not that I didn't see it, didn't face it squarely, there's nothing I can do about it!The management of Hanjiang Province's state-owned absolute holding company has always been implemented in accordance with the regulations of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and Yang Liu knows this. Pei Xiaojun stood up excitedly, Uncle Zhao, isn't it just a reference?We are not a central enterprise, why can't we make a breakthrough?In our province, we and Beichai are the only companies that are listed in Hong Kong and the Mainland at the same time. Even if we try, it will not have much impact.Uncle Zhao, you are the standard-bearer and breakthrough general of the reform of the Han River. I am not belittling my father. He is not as good as you in bold breakthroughs!In the early days of the reform, you dared to divide the land, why can't you let us loosen it? Zhao Anbang thought to himself, isn't it because he was too good at breaking through that he didn't go up?When Pei Yihong recommended him so much when he left office, didn't He Xinzhao still come here?But you can't tell the junior boy in front of you, just say, Xiaojun, how about this, you can discuss it with Yangliu after you go back, and make a plan based on Beichai's situation, and I will also meet with Secretary Xinzhao. What is his opinion? ! Pei Xiaojun was happy, and wiped away the tears from his eyes, Uncle Zhao, thank you so much!I knew you wouldn't push me into a fire pit.I asked again, should I report to Secretary He? Zhao Anbang pondered for a while, and it would be nice to report it, but don't say that I have agreed to consider it. Pei Xiaojun is very smart, I understand, Uncle Zhao, ask Secretary He to find you instead! Zhao Anbang reminded again that there is a bigger leader, that is your old man, you have to report it once more.It's best to hurry up before reporting to Secretary Xinzhao.Say everything you said to me, especially these few sentences: Under such unfair conditions, you cannot win battles for the party and the country, nor can you bear such helpless defeats!Look at your old man's attitude. Pei Xiaojun slapped his face, that's right, it was his old man who insisted on me coming to Beizhong Group, if I don't ask him, who should I look for?After all, I hurriedly got up, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Liu, then I'm leaving! After Pei Xiaojun left, Liu Yan complained, "Anbang, you are really serious. You let Xiaojun go to He Xinzhao for something that you and the provincial government could have decided on, and you even got involved with the old Pei!" Zhao Anbang said, I can decide, but there is no precedent for this matter, so what if there is trouble?From the land distribution back then to the incident of the Asia Iron and Steel Federation two years ago, I have experienced so much, and I have not yet learned the lesson!He joked again, what's the matter, Director Liu, you still want to call Pei Xiaojun to be your son-in-law? Liu Yan laughed. If Lao Pei had been transferred ten years earlier, I would really want this son-in-law! It was less than eight o'clock when Pei Xiaojun left, and around ten o'clock, He Xinzhao called.Zhao Anbang knew that He Xinzhao was having a meeting in Beijing these two days, so He Xinzhao wanted to talk about the spirit of the meeting.Unexpectedly, He Xinzhao was talking about Pei Yihong.Let me first convey Lao Pei's positive evaluation of the work of Hanjiang Province in the first half of the year.Changing the subject, he said, Anbang, the old secretary also gave us a suggestion, asking us to keep pace with the times.Under the conditions of a market economy and the reality of global economic circulation, if we continue to emancipate our minds, we must bravely break through the hurdles that should be overcome.Zhao Anbang was confused at first, not knowing what it meant.After listening to He Xinzhao's detailed explanation, he understood that the essence of Lao Pei's proposal was exactly the policy that Pei Xiaojun asked him for two hours ago.So he said, Secretary Xinzhao, Pei Xiaojun also told me about the situation that Lao Pei mentioned, but I haven't answered him yet. There is no such precedent in our province.He Xinzhao said that if there is a precedent, it is not called breaking through the barriers. Are you really sticking to the rules and watching Beizhong Group lose in the fierce competition in the domestic and foreign markets in the future?Isn't there only one Beizhong in our province?It will not affect a large area.Anbang, if you have concerns, I will first approve it on Beizhong's report and transfer it to you and the provincial government.Zhao Anbang pondered for a moment, that's fine, I'll approve it after you approve it.Let Bei Zhong come up with a plan first.Oh, say hello to Lao Pei for me, just say that I miss him and can't sleep at night. Putting down the phone, Zhao Anbang said to Liu Yan, look at how efficient your son-in-law is, ah, he left here before eight o'clock, and called Lao Pei when he left the house. Discuss with me immediately after receiving the imperial decree.It would be great if everything in China was so efficient. Liu Yan said, Anbang, don't talk about it, Xiaojun doesn't look like Lao Pei, but you! Zhao Anbang nodded. This is indeed a kid with a sense of mission and dedication! Liu Yan thought for a while, hey, Anbang, do you think Xiaojun is fighting for a high salary for himself? Zhao Anbang shook his head, no, no!If that's the case, Lao Pei wouldn't listen to Xiaojun.Why did Lao Pei force Xiaojun to go to Beizhong?It is to train children, let them take over in the future, and win a piece of land.The big army is so useless, the small army is Lao Pei's hope and sustenance!After a short pause, he said, the laws of nature are irresistible!Lao Pei and I, our generation will always grow old, fall, and die.Jiangshan has to be handed over to successors like Xiaojun, so we can rest assured!
