At the beginning of December, Heyang City publicized a group of leading cadres to be promoted as usual.As soon as the announcement came out, people were buzzing, and a group of writers from Heyang City were actually on the list. Heyang is an ancient cultural city, and pens have always been favored, but this is the first time that Heyang has been promoted so many at a time. In the small foreign building, Che Guanghui looked happy. After listening to Lin Shan's words, he smiled and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. This is the decision of the city. I'm a grassroots person, so I don't have the right to speak."

Lin Shan smiled knowingly. He was also fortunate to be a member of the announcement, but he was not as excited as Editor-in-Chief He who was also about to be promoted.What he said just now was actually Editor-in-Chief He's worry. He himself didn't take it seriously at all. The two did not drink that day.Che Guanghui came to Lin Shan to discuss something important. "what's next?" Lin Shan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said: "According to the plan, publish the book first, you might as well hype it up." Seeing Che Guanghui frowning, he explained: "Don't worry about this, we will do it in a non-obtrusive way. Of course, As soon as he changed the subject, he really gave Che Guanghui some advice, "You still have to do a few practical things. It is best to start the construction of the slums, and you can't let the common people always have opinions on you. Besides, the articles in the square should be Do it well and make it bigger..."

"You mean..." "The square is the focus of attention from all over Heyang. If we can really build a modern square and prevent citizens from raising funds, it will be a big contribution." "Where will the funds come from?" Che Guanghui quickly calculated in his mind. Once the Sunshine Project was started, his funds seemed to be tight, and the square was beyond his reach. "Others will borrow their strength, don't you?" "You mean..." "I didn't say anything." The two laughed, and a person flashed in their minds at the same time.

Che Guanghui knew that it was time to spend some money. After a while, Lin Shan suddenly said: "Hejiu's latest Bobo wine, fire, you have to be careful, if Hejiu takes the top spot, the hard work of the brothers will be in vain." Che Guanghui looked at Lin Shan, and said unhurriedly, "I've already bought out that wine, so it's my brand." "How dare you hide it from me, you wily fellow!" Lin Shan jumped up. "Can I hide it from you?" Che Guanghui smiled meaningfully, and pulled him across Lin Shan, "Sit, sit, don't scare me."

Lin Shan still said exaggeratedly: "I'm sorry you don't dare!" Che Guanghui not only lied to Lin Shan, but also lied to the majority of consumers in Heyang.After the river wine group went downhill, the sales of the original products were blocked, the market share dropped sharply, a large number of products were accumulated, and the capital was not able to return.Several new products were developed one after another, but they were all resisted by several major local wine marketers.After careful research, Che Guanghui found out that the price system of Hejiu products had serious flaws. Before the products sold well, the prices would go upside down, and the dealers would gobble up the goods while the prices would drop. product?

Che Guanghui knew that this had something to do with Hejiu's large amount of wine.The construction costs, advertising costs, and packaging costs are covered by wine. In order to cash in, they have to sell at a low price. How can the price system of Hejiu not collapse? Che Guanghui and Hu Wankun are friends, this is a well-known secret in Heyang City.If a friend is in trouble, how can he not help?This time, Che Guanghui has not received a penny for the new project of Hejiu. He accidentally talked with Hu Wankun about the development of health wine, and their ideas coincided with each other.Health wine will surely lead the new fashion of alcohol consumption in the future. After the product development is successful, Che Guanghui proposes to buy out the sales right exclusively, and the money will be used to top up the project fund.Hu Wankun was also exploring a new marketing approach, and this matter was secretly discussed.In order to supervise Hejiu, Che Guanghui sent his own people into Hejiu to be responsible for the control of entry and exit.

Che Guanghui abandoned the traditional sales method of Hejiu, which is first to spread the sky and cover the sky and cover the sky with the help of advertising campaigns, and then supplemented by hotel promotions. Go out, let the high-consumption class secretly taste it first, and then put it on the market in small batches after a certain word-of-mouth effect has been generated, always creating an illusion of product shortage. This trick really works. Currently, "Bobo Wine" has become a very mysterious and sought-after high-end gift in the market. The price of each bottle has been raised to 128 yuan, while Che Guanghui's buyout price is 16 yuan.

When sending Lin Shan away, Che Guanghui took out two "bobos".Lin Shan was overjoyed and said that someone was asking him for this wine.Che Guanghui smiled and said, "The production of this wine is small, so you should keep it for yourself." Lin Shan was furious, and said, "I still need it?!" The pace of the diversion of Hehua has finally been staggered.Although the market has made it clear that it does not agree with this plan.But Chen Tianbiao was determined, and Li Munan was also determined. The first batch of announced lists are all employees of the merged factory, and the directors of the carton factory and printing factory are also being diverted.

Before everything is done for real, there can't be any disturbances.Once the real action starts, the wind and waves will become big immediately. The first person to stand up against it was Guo Chunhai, the director of the printing factory. This is a bald man in his fifties, with a short build and a beer belly.A pair of small eyes, the left eye is slightly squinted, and the bridge of the nose is often raised when speaking. After a long time, a fleshy stump protrudes from the bridge of the nose.The lips are a bit thick, and the lower lip is turned outward. The printing factory is one of the few old factories in Heyang City. When Hehua merged, Guo Chunhai had been the factory director for eight years.The equipment is backward and the workers are uneven.After the merger of Hehua, more than one million yuan was invested to update some equipment, and the factory was once very prosperous.In the past two years, it has been worse day by day. People and equipment are idle, but they can't find work.Later, Chen Tianbiao heard people say that Guo Chunhai raised a lover outside, opened a small printing factory for him, and all the work went to the little lover.At one meeting, Chen Tianbiao proposed to replace Guo Chunhai, but Lin Ziqiang strongly disagreed.Guo Chunhai's younger brother is the deputy director of the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, and Hehua's listing is also useful for him.No one was removed and replaced, but the factory was paralyzed.

Guo Chunhai went straight into Chen Tianbiao's office and asked aggressively, "Why do you let me go?" He was followed by five or six people, all of whom were small heads of the printing factory.There was a female worker, Chen Tianbiao, who was very familiar, named Zhang Suyun, who was close to Wang Xiaoli on weekdays, but she was involved in it this time. "Do I still need to tell you? You should know better than anyone else." Chen Tianbiao replied to Guo Chunhai, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Suyun. "Didn't someone say that I opened a factory outside? Who can provide evidence for this? Can you provide it?" Guo Chunhai's eyes were fierce, and his tone was even tougher.

That factory is registered in the name of the little lover.Originally, he also figured it out, and diverted the diversion. Fortunately, he also tossed a small entity. In the past few years, under the banner of Hehua, the small entity has developed well.But he never dreamed that the little lover would raise another little boy under his nose, and the two sang together, trying to squeeze him away.Only then did he panic, and he refused to agree to the diversion. "Who said you opened a factory? Diversion is diversion, and what you are talking about is two different things." Chen Tianbiao expected that someone would make trouble with him, and he was already prepared in his heart. "Then you have to tell me the truth, and you can't be dismissed like a beggar, and you will be kicked out if you say it." "Don't forget, when discussing the plan, you signed it." Guo Chunhai was at a loss for words, and stared at Chen Tianbiao unconvinced with his eyes straightened. "We haven't signed a contract. Why should we just be kicked out? The people in the old factory don't shun anyone. It's obvious that two kinds of food are cooked in the same pot. Treat us as outsiders." mess up. "It's me who treats you as outsiders? It's you who treat yourself as outsiders! Tell me with your conscience, has the old factory treated you badly these years? But what have you done for the old factory!" When this matter was mentioned, the fire in Chen Tianbiao's heart boiled up. "Then what were you doing back then? If you hadn't annexed us back then, maybe we wouldn't have fallen to this point." When people's own interests are involved, they may not all be able to reason, and they may not all behave according to their conscience. People chattered and yelled for a while, and when they had vented enough, they left a long list of threatening words and left.Chen Tianbiao raised his head and saw that Zhang Suyun was still there. He suddenly thought that she hadn't said a word just now, so he asked, "Why are you still keeping it? If you get angry, you don't need to be afraid." Zhang Suyun raised her head timidly, her face turned red and white, both hands mechanically stroked the corners of her clothes, and after a long pause, she said, "Can you stop me from being diverted?" Her voice was very soft, like a mosquito chirping.His eyes were fixed on his feet all the time, and he looked very pitiful. Chen Tianbiao glanced at her, feeling something was wrong, and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" Only then did Zhang Suyun have the courage to raise her head and said to Chen Tianbiao: "I am the only one left to work in our family. My father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law have all been laid off. If I don't work anymore...the family can't even afford food." It's already..." Before he finished speaking, a few drops of crystal tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes. Chen Tianbiao was angry at first, but upon hearing Zhang Suyun's words, he felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavored bottle.What he is most afraid of is that the workers will tell him this. He looked at Zhang Suyun silently for a long time, then suddenly looked away and looked out of the window aimlessly. The yellow wind swept the ground outside the window, and the light sand was blowing. "If you don't believe me, you can visit my house..." Zhang Suyun's voice became weaker. This Zhang Suyun had been to his office once, maybe he had something to say to him that time, and it was only because he was too careless. It was one month before the strong wind, one morning at the beginning of July, just as Chen Tianbiao walked into the office, Zhang Suyun and the others followed.Both old workers, Chen Tianbiao, knew each other. One was old Liu Tou, whose right hand was crushed by a machine a year ago, and he worked as a guard after recovering from the injury; the other was Lao Cao from the workshop. In front of him, he murmured and did not speak. "Just say what you want, I won't eat you, what are you afraid of?" Hearing what Chen Tianbiao said, Lao Cao raised his head, murmured for a long time, and said, "We... come to ask about the salary." "What salary?" Chen Tianbiao didn't realize it for a while, so he stared at Lao Cao and asked. Old Cao Hong said with a blushing face, "Our side——hasn't paid wages for two months." "Is there such a thing?" Chen Tianbiao raised his head in surprise. Some branch factories in Hehua pay wages separately, and Chen Tianbiao is not very clear about the specific situation. "Look at you, I said the chairman didn't know, but you insisted. No, let me be sure." Old Cao Meimei poked old Liu's head, and her wrinkled face burst into bloom.Seeing the old head Liu glaring at him, he quickly turned his face and said to Chen Tianbiao: "How dare you coax you, Yueyue is just waiting for those few wages, if you don't pay them, the family will be ruined." "Is it that serious?" Chen Tianbiao showed displeasure when he heard that Lao Cao had exaggerated the matter so wickedly. "It's serious. All the sons and daughters-in-law in the family have been laid off, and they live on my life-saving money. The same goes for old Liutou's family. They haven't eaten meat for a month. If you don't believe me, ask him." Old Liu quickly lowered his head, afraid that Chen Tianbiao would really ask him. Looking at these two honest and dutiful people, he thought it was true.Chen Tianbiao put his eyes on them, and then slowly moved away after a while. "Okay, let me ask. If it really delays you, the company will find a way for you as soon as possible." "That's good, that's good." Lao Cao and Lao Liu hurriedly bowed their heads and nodded, with grateful smiles on their faces.Only Zhang Suyun stood there, timidly, not daring to look directly at Chen Tianbiao. "What about you, what's the matter?" Seeing that she would not leave or speak, Chen Tianbiao asked casually, with a kind of impatience in his tone. "I... I... I'm fine." Zhang Suyun became more and more nervous, blushing hesitantly. "It's okay, go back, go to work with peace of mind, and don't worry about your salary." After the three of them left, Chen Tianbiao called the Minister of Finance, and when he asked, he really hadn't been paid for two months. "How did you become a minister, why didn't you report such a big matter as soon as possible?" Chen Tianbiao was a little angry.He had always been confident that Hehua hadn't let the workers poke their backs in paying wages, but he didn't expect this to happen under his nose. "Which other factories are in arrears?" "The carton factory and the linoleum base paper factory did not issue either." "Who gave them the power? I have repeatedly emphasized that even if you sell the iron, you must pay the workers wages on time. How do you do your work?" The Minister of Finance bowed her head. She had reported this matter to Vice President Li Munan, and it was Vice President Li who nodded.The chairman scolded her, but he didn't dare to confess Li Mu'nan, so he had to bite the bullet and be scolded. After Chen Tianbiao finished his anger, the Minister of Finance reported that several merged branches had no money to pay wages due to serious losses. "Then send it from the old factory." Chen Tianbiao said without hesitation. "The money here is not enough to pay the wages here, and the profit has dropped a lot this month." Patronizing and getting angry, Chen Tianbiao actually neglected this. After the Minister of Finance finished speaking, he calmed down and felt that the problem was already serious. "Is there no other way?" He slowed down his tone and asked. "Unless..." the Minister of Finance hesitated to speak. "Unless what?" "...using the chairman's fund." The chairman's fund is specially used for the chairman to solve the unexpected crisis of the company. For many years, Chen Tianbiao has not used this fund, and he will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. "As for the bank, can you think of another way?" "This year's loan quota has been used up, and I'm afraid it will take a while to get it." Chen Tianbiao thought for a moment, then said ruthlessly, "Let's pay the wages first." ... Thinking about it twice, Chen Tianbiao felt that Zhang Suyun really had something to hide. When Chen Tianbiao walked into Zhang Suyun's home, Zhang Suyun's sister-in-law was arguing with her mother-in-law. No need to ask, Zhang Suyun knew it was dancing for his sister-in-law.My sister-in-law used to work in a food factory. After she was laid off, she couldn't find a suitable job to do. She fell in love with dancing when she was bored.There are several dance halls in Heyang City, which open morning, afternoon and evening performances.Most of the sister-in-law's dances are at the lunch show, because only the ladies at the lunch show are free of charge.After dancing for a long time, I realized that almost all the dancing ladies were laid-off workers. It was too annoying to squat at home. Going to the dance hall to relax, the pain caused by being laid off would be relieved to some extent. Zhang Suyun's mother didn't think so. After her son was laid off, he rode a tricycle all day long to deliver goods to the building materials market. It was not easy to earn that coolie money.But the daughter-in-law dresses up beautifully every day, runs to the ballroom, does not earn a penny, and does not cook, can she not be angry?Every three days, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would always quarrel. Seeing Zhang Suyun leading the guests into the house, the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped immediately. Zhang Suyun introduced Chen Tianbiao to his family with some embarrassment.When they heard that the person was Suyun's chairman, the famous Chen Tianbiao, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very surprised, and stared at Chen Tianbiao for a long time in disbelief.The daughter-in-law was still sharp-eyed, she had seen Chen Tianbiao on TV, and after confirming it for sure, she put away the displeasure on her face, put on a bright smile, and gave up her seat to Chen Tianbiao.Seeing that her mother-in-law was still frozen there, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her lapel, winked, and said with a sneer, "Mom, hurry up and cook!" The mother-in-law suddenly woke up, humming, with a stiff smile on her face, and went into the kitchen. The house is not big, two rooms.The inner one is separated from the middle, and the outer one is regarded as the living room, but there is a bed against the wall and it is covered with a mosquito net.There is a small yard built of bricks, and a small shed is built in the yard, which is regarded as the kitchen. Including Wang Dahu's family, this is the second time for Chen Tianbiao to enter this place called a slum by the people of Heyang.For some reason, as soon as he got here, he felt uncomfortable. He couldn't tell why he came with Zhang Suyun, but the purpose was definitely not to verify what she said.He seemed to see something in Zhang Suyun's gaze, what it was, he couldn't tell for a moment. Sitting on the sofa, he felt his heart slowly sinking. Since becoming the chairman of Hehua, he has never stepped into such a family.The home in front of him deeply hurt his eyes.Facing the enthusiasm of the family, he felt that his expression was cold, and the smile he forced was even weaker.When he took the water glass from Zhang Suyun's sister-in-law, he felt his hands tremble. Zhang Suyun's sister-in-law stood opposite him, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry...coincidentally the tea leaves are gone...you can drink a cup of boiled water first, and I'll go buy it right away." Chen Tianbiao hurriedly concealed: "I usually drink boiled water, don't bother me too much." Zhang Suyun stood beside her, her face turned white and red.The family hadn't had tea for a year, and Chen Tianbiao's words were clearly covering them up.Her sensitive heart is so fragile at this moment, and the embarrassment of life makes her youthful face always have a cloud that cannot be erased. "You Suyun, why didn't you say a word in advance when you come to such a big leader, why do you tell me to cook." Mother said in a low voice, panicked. "...Do whatever you want, anyway, I can't afford to be rich." Only then did Zhang Suyun feel that she was too reckless.But since it's here, let him take a real look at it. When we got outside, my mother murmured, "Your father has gone to pick vegetables, and he will definitely not come back this time. Do you have any money? Why don't you go buy a chicken? You can't entertain others with plain water, right?" "Okay, I'll go buy it now." Zhang Suyun didn't dare to greet Chen Tianbiao.Not far from the courtyard gate, my mother drove out and settled down again, bought some cucumbers, rapeseed and so on, and mixed some cold dishes. Chen Tianbiao had a hard time eating this meal.While eating, Zhang Suyun's father came back.He is not much older than Chen Tianbiao, but his face is much older than Chen Tianbiao.He used to be a worker in the Heyang Sugar Factory, one of the first batch to be laid off, and later worked everywhere. Now there is no place to work, so in desperation, he picked up vegetable leaves.When I first picked it, it was a bit embarrassing, but now it is quite old.But recently there have been a lot of people picking vegetables, and the vegetable vendors have become more and more stingy, and the vegetables are not so easy to pick. Seeing Chen Tianbiao, he just nodded politely, didn't say anything, and squatted in the courtyard with a bowl to eat.Chen Tianbiao really wanted to say a few words to him, but he obviously hated Chen Tianbiao.Chen Tianbiao had no choice but to give up this idea. Zhang Suyun's family was originally not in the city, but in a countryside called Sishilibao. His father, who was unable to get the quota for the conversion from rural areas to non-agricultural enterprises, gritted his teeth and bought all the family's household registrations into Heyang City. Only later did he find out that this was a Big mistake.Heyang only sells household registration, but does not care about employment arrangements.The father worked in the sugar factory for half his life by himself, so he got his son into the sugar factory anyway.When it was his daughter Zhang Suyun's turn, he had nothing to do. It happened that the printing factory raised funds to recruit workers, borrowing money from various places and scraping together 10,000 yuan, so Zhang Suyun became a worker in the printing factory. After leaving Zhang Suyun's house, it was already dark, and the night had engulfed the slums and the entire Heyang City.Hesitating on the streets of Heyang, Chen Tianbiao's heart was dark, and all the troubles of the day gradually faded away, only the expressions of Zhang Suyun's family were bright in his mind, he was infected by the family's helplessness, pulled, The footsteps could not help but become heavy and heavy. After walking aimlessly on the street for a long time, when I stopped, I was surprised to find that I was standing under the Hehua Building.In the night wind, the building is thinking like a giant. Not everyone can experience the indifference and loneliness.He moved his eyes up silently, then slowly down, then up, down... Slowly, he became a part of the building, feeling the pain of the building, savoring the pain of the building... It was the same pain as him... Early the next morning, Chen Tianbiao came to ICBC.The report on the Hehua Loan was submitted to ICBC for almost a month, but it has not been implemented for a long time.He has approached many leaders in the industry. When these people saw him, they always had smiles on their faces, and their words were still full of concern. They would inevitably send him some flattery as usual, but when it came to the topic, they slipped away faster than one. Today he is looking for Vice President Wang.The relationship between Vice President Wang and him is no longer a day or two.As early as Vice President Wang was the head of the credit department, the two had been very close.In the process of working hard from the head of the credit department to the position of vice president, the two have established an extraordinary relationship.Chen Tianbiao is optimistic about the future of Vice President Wang, and even links the prospect of Vice President Wang with the future of Hehua.To start a business, you can’t do without hardcore friends in the bank, and the little loan you get from normal channels is too little to get between your teeth.Hehua needs large-scale loans. Without the support of banks, even if you have great skills, it will be difficult to run your business.Now, Vice President Wang has got his wish and sat in the coveted seat.To avoid suspicion, Chen Tianbiao never looked for him. He kept this move, and he would not leave unless he had to. Chen Tianbiao clarified the purpose of his visit in a few words. Vice President Wang listened first, and was not in a hurry to reply when he was done. He had a shallow smile on his face and his eyes were a little unfathomable. "Why, is it difficult?" Chen Tianbiao asked impatiently. Vice President Wang is still smiling. "I'm in a hurry right now, tell me if it will work or not." "Why are you in such a hurry, the sky won't fall down." "It's easy for you to say, there are 10,000 people begging for food from me, come and try." "Hey, I said, can you think about it differently?" Vice President Wang sighed softly, and looked away from Chen Tianbiao's face. "What's the meaning?" "For example, the cause of the landslide in the river, I mean deep-seated." "Today we only talk about loans and nothing else, don't talk about it." Vice President Wang suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "I think this is very important. Have you ever thought about why it is so difficult for state-owned enterprises now? Could it be that there are problems in operation?" Chen Tianbiao was taken aback.Knowing that Vice President Wang was going to repeat the old saying, he hurriedly said, "The problem you said is too big, I don't have time to talk to you now." Vice President Wang interrupted him: "Don't avoid it, you understand some things better than me, but you don't necessarily understand some things. I want to advise you, accept it when you see it, and plan for your future." "What's the plan? I'll accept it. What about the factory? Ten thousand people, buddy..." "You think you can save it?" Vice President Wang raised his face and said in a deep tone, "Listen to my advice, stop being stubborn." "But it's slipping in my hands, and I can't let it go." "Why do you always take the responsibility on yourself? The problem of Hehua is not only in operation, but also in the system and the environment in which it grows..." "I'm not reforming, this one is for diverting workers." Vice President Wang suddenly fell silent.He stared at Chen Tianbiao sadly, saying to himself that you always think of yourself as the savior, and no one can do without you.But do you know that they are plotting against you.He sighed and said, "Well, since you are determined to do this, I can't say anything. You have to give me time for money." "I'm anxiously waiting to use it." Chen Tianbiao became anxious. Vice President Wang seemed to already know something, so he had no choice but to tell the truth. "To tell you the truth, a meeting has already been held in the bank. I'm afraid your loan will be frozen." Halfway through speaking, Chen Tianbiao became furious. "what?!" On the eve of New Year's Day, there was a sudden rumor in Heyang City that several big companies were going to sell to southerners. This wind is simply sprinkling salt on the wounds of Heyang people. Heyang people have always hated the southerners. Looking around, Heyang city sells furniture, runs shopping malls, haircuts and shampoos, and sells high-end fashion. , which line did not let the southerners take the lead?The southerners made money from the Heyang people, and wanted to buy the Heyang people’s factories. In the end, let the Heyang people work for him, why? In fact, these are small businessmen, who truly represent the strength of the southerners. The first one is Chen Peiling, the president of Heyang Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and the proprietress of Zhejiang Mansion. Chen Peiling is considered a legend in Heyang City. She came to Heyang City at the age of nineteen to start a business and started her business by decorating. The wealth accumulated in just ten years is simply astronomical for Heyang people.She has always monopolized the decoration business of Heyang's financial system.To attract investment in Heyang, Chen Peiling attracted several major shareholders from Zhejiang as if by magic. In just eight months, the largest shopping mall in Heyang, "Zhejiang Building", was miraculously built. Zhejiang Building is located on the west side of Dashizi, the most prosperous place in Heyang. It used to be a training ground for troops, and it is a golden site that many developers envy.Around the competition for this piece of land, Heyang City has staged a series of shocking "good shows".After a lot of fighting, it was Chen Peiling, a woman from Zhejiang, who won in the end. Even Che Guanghui, a big name in Heyang, had to regret his defeat and sigh with despair. Chen Peiling is not very good-looking, her eyes are a bit small, the bridge of her nose is a bit slumped, her brows and eyes are broken, and she is not half as good-looking as Xu Hong, a celebrity from Heyang.With this beauty alone, she can't earn that much money.But Chen Peiling did earn a lot of money.So the people of Heyang racked their brains to guess her, racked their brains to find out about her, and before the people of Heyang could come up with a plan, Chen Peiling, a woman from Zhejiang, made another astonishing move. Li Munan did not expect that the rumors that the Zhejiang boss bought Hehua turned out to be true.What shocked him even more was that Chen Peiling, a woman from Zhejiang, actually threw a "hydrangea ball" at him! When Chen Peiling called to invite him to dinner, some doubts flashed in Li Munan's mind, but he never thought about it.Even if it were replaced by a person whose imagination was ten times or a hundred times richer than his, it would be impossible to think of this aspect.He doesn't have much contact with Chen Peiling, why invite him to dinner for no reason? In the middle of the meal, Li Mu'nan still couldn't smell the peculiar smell of the banquet.Chen Peiling used some anecdotes from Heyang City as the ingredients for the current dish, interspersed with the affair of several Zhejiang fellow villagers in Heyang City.When talking about the exciting part, Xian Ren couldn't help laughing out loud, and streaks of light blush flew across his cheeks. At the end, Chen Peiling smiled: "I knew that Li was always a sweetheart." Li Munan blushed, and quickly laughed at himself: "I'm a Northwesterner, how can I be called a mild-mannered person, the word temperament has been taken up by you southerners. We only have roughness..." "What's rough? That's masculine. Northwest men eat meat in big chunks and drink in big bowls, just like you grab mutton with your hands. I like it more and more." Shen Jia who was sitting on the side kept picking up vegetables for Li Munan, with a smile on his face all the time.She seldom interjected, as if following Chen Peiling today, her main task was to serve Li Munan with food. Li Munan harbored doubts in his heart, seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, he asked, "President Chen asked me out today, what advice do you have?" "How dare." Chen Peiling raised her glass, "Come on, Mr. Li, I should be your eldest sister in terms of age, and I will toast you a toast. Let's not talk about business at the dinner table today. If there is a relationship, we will talk after dinner. If there is no relationship, Quan Being an elder sister delayed your meal time." After speaking, he clinked his glasses and drank by himself first. Li Munan is not afraid of drinking white wine, and it is not a problem to resist a table of people, but he is frowning when drinking red wine.Although white wine is strong, if you drink too much, you will only get drunk. Red wine is limp, and if you drink too much, you will lose consciousness.He had suffered from red wine a few times before, and felt guilty when he saw red wine.The two ladies offered to drink red wine, but he had no choice but to obey, and his head began to dizzy after tossing and bowing.He reminded himself, don't be too greedy, you can't say anything about this ugly thing today. After the meal, Chen Peiling invited Li Munan to sit in the Zhejiang Mansion.Li Munan declined, Shen Jia talked too much at this time, and said: "Could it be that Mr. Li is afraid that we will not succeed in kidnapping?" Li Munan smiled, and under the light, he suddenly found that Shen Jia was very charming, his bright eyes were looking forward, giving birth to the unique style of southern beauties.Northern men can't stand the temptation of this style the most.Shen Jia seemed to see his thoughts, smiled softly, and said softly: "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, if President Li doesn't go, won't you be afraid of regret?" Under the flickering neon lights on the street, Shen Jia looked extraordinarily attractive. With flowing long hair, a dynamic figure, and every smile and frown, she vividly interpreted the taste of a lady from the southern country.Li Munan really wanted to refuse, but he couldn't.While hesitating, Shen Jia gently held him: "Let's go, Mr. Li, why are you hesitating?" Chen Peiling led the way, Shen Jia and Li Munan followed, looking like a pair of sweet lovers.After drinking some wine, Shen Jia rested her head on Li Munan's chest, and Li Munan suddenly felt dizzy. After going up to the building, Shen Jia brought Li Munan into the reception room. The decoration and furnishings of the room made Li Munan dumbfounded, as if he had come to a maze.Chen Peiling felt dizzy for an excuse, so she left Shen Jia alone to accompany Li Munan, saying that she would take a break for a while, and asked President Li not to worry too much.Li Munan always felt that he was still floating, and he didn't listen to what Chen Peiling said.It wasn't until Shen Jia took out the wine and held the money in front of his eyes that she felt that she had come to a place she shouldn't have come. Shen Jia was considerate and thoughtful, saying that the general manager told him that he had to take good care of President Li.With a sip of his mouth, he drank it first, and then looked at him with longing eyes, how could Li Munan not drink? The music sounded, soft and soothing, as if it came from a distant place.Li Munan's thoughts were led by the music, and he slowly entered the state. Drinking with the beautiful woman, Li Mu'nan was somewhat intoxicated at first.Shen Jia's beauty expands wantonly under the light, and it is magnificent.Suddenly, there was the fragrance of a young woman, and Li Munan's heart swayed. "I have a report that I want to ask Mr. Li to look over." Shen Jia stared at Li Munan tenderly, and handed over the report. Li Munan read a few pages, and his heart tightened suddenly.The warmth just now disappeared suddenly, and a look of horror flashed across his face.He suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and finished reading the report holding his breath. This is an outline of Zhejiang Building's plan to acquire Hehua.The content is concise and the sentences are sonorous.At the end of the plan, there is a list of Xinhehua's board of directors after the acquisition.Li Munan was named the general manager!What was handed over to Li Munan was also a letter of appointment, which clearly stated that the annual salary of the general manager was 200,000 yuan.Behind it was a check for two hundred thousand yuan. "I don't understand what you mean." Li Munan suppressed the shock in his heart, and handed the documents, letter of appointment and check to Shen Jia. "Li always understands people, so I don't need to explain it clearly." Shen Jia was still tender and affectionate, his eyes flickered, and Li Munan suddenly felt a chill. He got up abruptly: "I'm sorry, it's time for me to leave." Shen Jia also got up, not surprised, and smiled sweetly: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to be unable to face such a challenge." "Challenge? What do you mean by that?" "President Li, please sit down, why are you so anxious?" Shen Jia gracefully and ambiguously took Li Munan's hand, and invited him back to the sofa. "We have already understood what we mean, and the next step is to see how Mr. Li chooses." "You guys are talking too much, buying Hehua, it's a good thing you can make such a joke." "Is Li always underestimating our strength or our energy?" "What do you think?" Li Munan asked back.Only then did he realize that Chen Peiling had arranged a grand banquet for him, but what he was thinking was that Chen Peiling was too naive. Hehua is a large enterprise with billions of assets, so it can be bought so easily? Shen Jia seemed to know his thoughts very well, and said neither in a hurry nor annoyed: "Mr. Li is laughing at us as idiots?" "Is not it?" "But don't forget that miracles are created by people. Although Hehua is big, it is a pool of stagnant water. Zhejiang Building is small, but it is full of vitality. A company with strong vitality eats up a giant that is dying. It's a miracle. Li is always an expert in business management, surely you can't deny that?" "Since you are on the verge of death, why bother?" "Recapital restructuring. The crux of Hehua lies in the system and management. If these two bottlenecks are broken through, coupled with the vitality of capital, Hehua will still be vigorous." "This is what we're doing..." "There is another factor, Mr. Li, don't forget that attracting investment is currently the highlight of Heyang. As long as there is capital to enter, the government will not refuse." This sentence touched Li Munan's sore spot.He has long expected that the acquisition of Hehua is likely to be a government action.Anything can happen as long as there is the big hand of the government.The current slogan put forward by Heyang is "inviting investment to revitalize the market, attracting capital to revitalize enterprises". The government has worked on small and medium-sized enterprises for several years, with little effect, and it is very likely to use large enterprises as a demonstration.In this case, the rumors from the outside world are likely to become a fact. "Actually, we are also looking for a win-win situation. I hope Mr. Li can consider our cooperation." Shen Jia stared at Li Munan intently, her eager eyes full of anticipation.Li Munan tried his best to avoid her eyes, and his mood suddenly became complicated.He has met Shen Jia before, and they sat together in many meetings.On the surface, Shen Jia is Chen Peiling's assistant, but in fact, she has a lot of authority inside the Zhejiang Building.At the post-disaster reconstruction meeting, on behalf of Chen Peiling, she pledged to donate two million yuan on the spot, which impressed Li Munan.This woman is not very old, she should be a few years younger than Li Mu'nan, but she has been in the market for many years.Every time Li Munan sees her, he must sigh.Southerners are Southerners, born to do business. "I'll keep this check for you first, but I believe we will have a pleasant cooperation. Don't forget, Hehua is also your dream..." Seeing Li Munan looking at her suspiciously, Shen Jia seemed a little guilty, but her face The expression on the face is still rich, and the words are meaningful.Fortunately, Li Munan had woken up from the hallucination, a string in his head was tense, he glanced at Shen Jia wordlessly, and left Zhejiang Mansion. Although the person came out, his heart was in a mess.It is undeniable that the "Hydrangea" thrown to him by the two Zhejiang women is really too big - an annual salary of 200,000, and the position of general manager.Li Munan couldn't fall asleep and couldn't sleep all night. How many people could resist such a temptation?As soon as he went to work in the morning, he wanted to tell Chen Tianbiao about it.The moment he knocked on the door, he hesitated again. How should I explain it to him? 李木楠这才发现,跟董事长陈天彪之间,再不像以前那么从容坦荡,已经很难再开诚布公。从哪天开始的呢,李木楠感觉心的某个地方,已长了杂草。 李木楠想把这事忘掉,只当没发生过。可很难。时不时地,浙江大厦两位女老总的影子就会跳出来,在他心里搅起一阵波澜。往南方去的计划已经破产,他跟南方那家公司早把态度表了,人家也已经物色到新人选。而浙大两个字,又在他心里活跃起来。他把这事前前后后反反复复想了几遍,尽管还没有足够的理由让他相信河化真会让陈珮玲收购,但陈珮玲给了他一个信号。 人得打有准备之仗啊。 上班时,李木楠装作若无其事,在陈天彪面前那份不自在也被他很好地控制,反而表现得比以前更为大方更为镇定。 接下来发生的事果然不出李木楠所料,市上出其不意把封压了几个月的河化分流职工的方案给批了,而且专门开了一场会。会议要求河化加大改革力度,把亏损企业统统推向市场,该淘汰的淘汰,该关门的关门,一切按市场经济规律去办。 陈天彪显得很兴奋,立刻组织河化中层以上领导干部进行讨论,如何正确贯彻市上的精神,将河化改革步伐加快。中层们疲疲沓沓,无精打采,并没表现出陈天彪期望的那种热情。这怪不得他们,大的变革面前,每一个人的命运都会发生难以想象的改变,谁都在思考同一个问题,改制分流后,自己的位置到底在哪。 唯有李木楠清楚,市上是在为浙江人清理包袱。浙江人真正收购的,是河化的核心主业,等河化自己把包袱甩尽后,浙江人也就粉墨登场了。 这天李木楠再次接到沈佳电话,邀他到外面坐坐。 李木楠没有回绝,热情地答应了。 他们在一家浙江人开的酒吧里见了面。沈佳长发飘飘,穿一件米色风衣,颀长的身材更显飘逸。李木楠不自禁地脱口夸赞:“沈助理今天真漂亮,有一种魔幻感觉。” “是吗?”沈佳笑笑,露出两个浅浅的酒窝,调皮地眨几下眼睛,又说,“你看上去还是那么沉重,像个思想家。思想家不好,我们要想办法让李总轻松轻松。” 包厢是封闭式的,暖色调,地毯很柔软,脚踩上去有踩着云朵的感觉。老板刻意将灯光调得朦胧暧昧,然后别有意味地笑笑。这些都影响着李木楠的心情。很明显,沈佳今天是特意打扮了一番的。在她脱去米色风衣的一瞬,李木楠的眼睛像被蜇了一下。沈佳笑笑,笑得很柔软。李木楠想躲开她,目光却不慎触到她紧裹在黑色紧身毛衫下面的丰乳。沈佳身材极为妖娆,曲线毕露,发育出奇完美,两条修长的腿衬托得她更为高傲挺拔。 李木楠有点气紧。 “这下你们满意了,用河化几千号人的下岗换取你们的利益,你们真做得出啊!” 李木楠似乎吐的是肺腑之言,一想到几千号工人面临下岗,他这个当副总的还是感到悲哀。 沈佳并没反驳,脸上的笑容渐渐隐去,显出本真的表情来。 “这是阵痛,我们每个人都必须承受。” “阵痛?你说得轻巧,那几千号人咋办?”李木楠的口气有点像陈天彪。 “该咋办咋办,人不是靠同情能活下去的,得靠他们自己。” 李木楠噎住了。沈佳的话的确挑不出毛病。相比之下,沈佳更像个职业经理人。 “说吧,下一步你们作何打算?”李木楠突然觉得,空叹已毫无意义,索性实打实地问。 沈佳仔细地捕捉李木楠的每一个表情,她今天的目的很明确,就是让李木楠表态。这点,陈珮玲跟她交代得很清楚。 “我们需要你的帮助。”她说。 “这可能吗,让我出卖自己公司的利益?” “那你就甘心情愿把自己出卖给别人,做一辈子替身?” 这话有些恶毒。河阳城早有人说,李木楠把自己卖给了陈天彪,充其量不过是陈天彪的走狗,想不到沈佳也这么看他。 “你们还了解什么,对我还知道多少?”李木楠显然受了打击,语气已不如刚才那么镇定。 “我还知道,你跟董事长夫人之间的私情。”沈佳几乎是一个字一个字吐出来的,她用的是私情,而不是爱情。她的目光无所顾忌地盯在李木楠脸上。李木楠的脸因为吃惊而抽搐,肌肉在剧烈痉挛。她狠狠心,接着说:“你们不能自拔,但你们没有未来。” 李木楠强压住内心的愤慨,瞪住沈佳的眼睛:“想不到你们这么卑鄙!” 沈佳垂下头,脸由红变白,变紫,慢慢,没有颜色了。半天后她张嘴辩解:“我知道你会生气,可你想过没有,你跟苏小玉之间的事,陈董事长怎么看,河化的职工怎么看?说重点,你这是在玩火,拿你的前程,拿你一生的幸福玩火,你明白吗……” “不要说了!”李木楠打断她,“我原以为你们是真心跟我合作,没想到你们会采取这种……手段!”他把“卑鄙”两个字省略了,因为他清楚地看到沈佳在抖,那张脸因他的话一点点变形,变得令人不忍目睹。他忽然换转口气,“算了,我何苦要跟你发火。” 沈佳无话了,想好的话居然派不上一点用场。而且,自己确实没理由替他操心啊。她仰起白晳的脖颈,微微闭上眼睛,痛苦染了她一脸。良久,她垂下头,目光缓缓移过来,像两股清凉的泉水,泻在李木楠脸上。 李木楠渐渐平静下来,似乎意识到了自己的过激,轻声说:“对不起,我的话重了。” 沈佳苦笑,忽然说:“我们回去吧。” 李木楠张了张嘴,有些讶异地盯住沈佳,可沈佳已动身买单。 李木楠哪里知晓,沈佳盯他盯了好久。 沈佳是陈珮玲的一张牌。陈珮玲从动河化脑子那天起就在寻找这样一张牌,寻来寻去,始终找不到。后来她把目光对在沈佳脸上,天呀,我还上哪找,这不就在身边吗! 陈珮玲暗叹这是天意。 这张牌是专门打给李木楠的。 想动河化这样一个庞然大物,必得先找它的软肋,这是陈珮玲一贯的行事原则。 河化的软肋就是李木楠。 找准软肋并能打出一张好牌,这便是陈珮玲成功的诀窍! 果然,听完沈佳的汇报,陈珮玲暗自一笑,她知道李木楠动心了,不动心才怪。但她不露声色,说:“暂时先不要接触,他这个人,反复无常,得留点时间给他自己。” 陈珮玲还觉不放心,第二天,她让沈佳出差,离开了河阳。 沈佳不情愿,可也没有办法。等到了陌生的城市,沈佳就崩溃了。说不清道不明的东西朝她袭来,淹没她撕扯她,要让她疯掉! 有谁理解沈佳此时的心情呢?陈珮玲交代这个任务时,她曾委婉地拒绝过。对李木楠,沈佳不想采取这种方法。可陈珮玲固执己见,说对李木楠这样有才气,有抱负的男人,必须先彻底打碎他在河化的幻想,否则,他是不肯轻易倒戈的。沈佳渴盼过跟李木楠合作,但她又多么不愿用这种方式。以前就有一家公司,采取不正当手段,将合作对象一家国企老总的私生活偷拍下来,迫其就范。这种事沈佳向来不齿,可没想到,有一天同样的事情降临到她头上。 沈佳矛盾了很久,最终还是答应按陈珮玲说的做。她这样做有她的理由,不只是陈珮玲需要李木楠,对她而言,更需要! 哪个女人不怀春?沈佳盯李木楠的同时,也把自己盯了进去! 元旦前的气氛照样淡而无味。河阳城冰冷如铁。冬日的阳光瘪瘪地洒下来,很快被凛冽的西北风洗劫一空。 老城里人黄风穿着他那件过时的军绿色呢子大衣,戴一顶咖啡色礼帽,躺在冬日的竹椅上。目光冰凉,脸色如铁。身边的茶馆里密密匝匝聚了很多人。寒冷将广场里闲散的人驱进了茶馆,茶馆的空气更加污浊。黄风躺在门口,时不时被浓烈的旱烟味或脚臭味熏得发呕,只好一次次往外挪竹椅。 里面不少人谈论着暖气的话题。因为交不起暖气费,大片大片的居民楼至今还没供暖。就连北关老城巷的家属楼也没供暖,那里面住的多一半可是河阳的老干部啊! “没办法,一只老鼠害一锅汤。”一位老干部模样的人发着牢骚,把怨恨发泄在死皮赖脸不交暖气费的住户身上。 “昨儿个我们楼上又有一对老两口往上抬炉子,五楼呀,想想看,生炉子是多么麻缠的事……”有人附和。 “不生炉子咋办,他们硬是不供,钱都交了三个月,还没见过暖气。夜里冻得下巴响,你说这冬咋过?” 人们怨声如潮,发泄心中的不平。 黄风冷冷一笑,还暖气哩,再过些日子,连电带水都给你停了,看你还敢不敢住楼! 一进冬日,黄风对眼前的这座破城生出刀子般的仇恨,看啥都觉憋气。他无比伤感地忆起少时的河阳城,忆起祖上那座古色古香四进头的院子。那是多么惬意的一种生活啊,白日读书写字,夜里专程请文老先生说书。祖上给他留了总也读不完的书,他沉醉在浩如烟海的诗书里,每一天都有崭新收获。哪像现在,不得不靠晒太阳打发日子。 黄风的仇恨还来自大丫二丫那两只鸟。破鸟大丫的男人不久前被医院判了死刑,没得救了,手术都没法做。年纪轻轻得这种病,不是作孽是什么?一想那狗屁作家干下的伤天害理之事,黄风就阻止不住心头的诅咒。破鸟大丫先是哭闹了一阵,接下来竟变得若无其事,好像要死的不是她男人。也好,死了倒也干净。烂鸟二丫更让他无地自容。她像是欠男人似的,跟那个名叫三儿的碎鸟乱蹬了一阵腿,居然没了影踪。一个多月活不见人死不见尸。 这个冬天,老城里人黄风常常被一些烂事纠缠,让他无法轻松自在。他的脑子里经常冒出一些稀奇古怪的想法,这些想法大都跟河阳城有关。尤其夜深人静,他会清晰地听到一种断裂的声响。贫民窟的人找他商议上访之事,黄风推说身子骨不舒服,硬是把人家打发走了。想起此事,多多少少觉得有点对不住人家。贫民窟有多少人家这个冬天连炉火都无法生起,他们为上访花光了家里仅有的钱,不得不靠大伙的救济生存着。黄风觉得贫民窟快要被冻死了,河阳城也快要被冻死了。 他抬起头,目光困顿地盯住那座庞然大物。楼顶的那团粉红早已不见,黄风已记不清它消逝的确切日子。望不见粉红物,黄风顿然觉得那楼没了望头。 这个下午,失踪一个多月的黄二丫回来了。她穿一件暖红色羊毛绒大衣,腿上很是张扬地穿了一条黑皮裤,脖子里围一条长长的羊绒围巾。头发焗成了棕色,还烫了几个大波浪。看上去既时尚又前卫,一点也看不出她是贫民窟走出去的女人。 她下了车,手提两个大包,里面鼓鼓的。在人们惊讶的目光里,趾高气扬走进老城里人黄风的家。 老城里人黄风还没走到院门前,就已闻见一股香喷喷的味儿。他惊奇地推开院门,瞅见做饭的正是不知死活的烂鸟二丫。那股香味立刻化成一口闷气,压在了心上。他咳嗽一声,算是跟烂鸟打过招呼。二丫望见父亲,脸上别扭地绽出两道子笑,忙将饭菜端茶几上。接过碗的当儿,黄风斜望了一眼二丫,那鸡窝似的头立刻让他联想到广场里整天乱转的鸡。他恨恨收回目光,心头掠过一层近乎绝望的悲凉。茶几上一下摆了八个碟子,还端端正正摆放着一条中华烟,两罐黄山毛峰。 二丫早已换上以前穿的衣服,规规矩矩像个乖巧孝顺的女儿。只是没想到鸡窝头会出卖她,一时窘得脸都不敢抬。见父亲阴着脸,她的心扑扑直跳,耳朵机灵地竖起来,随时准备她爸甩碟子掼碗。 黄风并没像二丫预期的那样做出什么举动,他只是默默地咀嚼着饭菜,从烂鸟二丫精心烹炒的一道道菜里,他咀嚼出另一种味道。这味道让他慢慢化解开积郁在心中的怨气,脸随之也略略舒展一些。吃完饭,他目光瓷实地瞥了一眼二丫,如同石磨里碾压出一般,沉沉地道了一声:“他要死了,你该去看看……” 父亲黄风的这句话彻底洗刷了二丫心头将近十年的怨恨,也使她混乱了十年的思维渐渐明晰。躺在床上,冬日的寒冷从门窗缝里灌进来,将屋子里稀薄的热气洗掠一空。可她并不觉冷,反倒觉得心里暖暖的。父亲那句话热气包一样温暖着她的心,她奇怪一向严酷的父亲怎么会在今天突然仁慈亲善,他冷漠如铁的心肠难道也有深爱深藏?
