The fact is as Jiang Hua said, the spring breeze of reform is blowing everywhere. In addition to the green color of hope, there are also a number of ghosts and ghosts that have emerged to make trouble at this temple fair.
Jiang Hua heard that at least a dozen people's wallets had been taken out by thieves. There were countless disciples of the Old Rong Sect hidden among the bustling crowd on the street.
After a day's temple fair, even Zhong Yuemin's good physique couldn't bear it anymore. After returning home, he collapsed on the sofa from exhaustion.
After the first day of the new year, Zhong Shanyue started to work again. For people at their level, if it weren't for the fact that he always wanted to retire, he might have to work on the first day of the new year. It was arranged a year ago. During the Chinese New Year, he had to participate
Fewer tea parties and press conferences.
Jiang Hua and Zhong Yuemin also want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to socialize. Most of their old friends are back. Take advantage of everyone's free time to organize some gatherings and keep in touch with each other, otherwise they will be needed when they are needed in the future.
It's not that convenient.
At that time, the New Year passed very slowly and very fulfillingly. Unlike now, apart from playing mobile phones and playing mahjong, there is nothing real.
Eat, drink and have fun until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Due to emotions and reasons, Jiang Hua should accompany Lan Jieying back to her parents' home. This is a custom passed down by the older generation. Originally, he should go on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but it was because Xiangjiang was too far away, so he postponed it.
The fifth day of the lunar month.
The couple took the many gifts they bought and boarded the plane back to Xiangjiang. Lan Jieying was very excited all the way because she hadn't seen her parents for a long time.
The small villa was still the same, but it could be seen that it had been carefully cleaned. When Jiang Hua rang the doorbell, the door opened in less than a minute.
My sister-in-law stood at the door cheerfully and said with a smile: "I'm finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Mom specially made some sugar water for you. I didn't even let you taste it."
Mother Lan put two bowls of sugar water on the table and said to her eldest daughter with a smile: "You come back every now and then to eat. How many times a year can your sister eat the sugar water I made?"
The sister-in-law said pitifully: "Yes, I can't eat it. Who can I blame? Who asked my sister to marry so far away and marry her to the capital in one go? You treat her like a treasure. I married closer.
It’s become grass.”
After Lan Jieying returned home, she became more active. She was served by people who ate, drank, and dressed. After dinner, she played mahjong. When she got tired of it, she called her former little sisters to go shopping. Jiang Hua threw them aside.
Jiang Hua could only find Rong Zhengen or Mr. Huo to drink red wine, chat, and play Landlords.
It’s not that Jianghua is unsociable, I’ve been coming to Xiangjiang for many years, and there are only a few people I can become friends with. I really can’t talk to some people, either because my values do not match or my worldview does not match.
Over the years, Jiang Hua has met many young men such as Lin Jianyue. These people are not too young and they follow female celebrities all day long.
Mr. Huo shook his red wine glass and said: "A few days ago, Hong Kong Electric Company changed hands, and there was a lot of excitement in the stock market. Even if you were not here, otherwise you would definitely join in the fun."
Jiang Hua smiled and asked, "Who is so prescient?"
"Who else could it be? Li Chaoren." Rong Zhengen said: "This guy spent three billion and took Hong Kong Electric under his own banner."
Jiang Hua smiled and shook his head: "This Xiangjiang, sooner or later it will be Li Chaoren's city, just like Bangzi country is Samsung's Bangzi country."
Mr. Huo asked: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Hua asked: "Of all of us here, including our fathers, who has such poisonous eyes?"
"You mean there is some inside story about Li Chaoren's acquisition of HK Electric?"
"Hong Kong Electric has a power plant. Everyone here, who can live without electricity in daily life, so he has a vicious vision. The joint declaration is about to take effect. John is going to let go of these things. If people take a chance, he will
Take all these important things home."
Jiang Hua said with a smile: "There are millions of people in Hong Kong. Who can live without electricity? This means there will be a steady stream of cash flow. When he takes all the water, electricity, and gas into his pocket, all the people in Hong Kong can eat and drink."
Even Lazarus cannot do without him, and no matter how you develop, you will have to be restricted by others."
Rong Zhengen said thoughtfully: "Old guy, this is attacking Xiangjiang's infrastructure. He has such a long-term vision."
"The infrastructure is in his hands. He can raise prices if he wants to. Once he raises prices, prices in the entire Xiangjiang area will rise accordingly. At that time, he will have the final say on how much a bowl of noodles in Xiangjiang will cost."
Mr. Huo suddenly asked: "Hey, do you think he was able to take down the Hong Kong Electric Company so smoothly without John's tacit approval?"
Jiang Hua shook his head and said: "It's really unclear. As far as I know, John has dug a lot of holes for us and attracted a lot of worms within Xiangjiang society."
Rong Zhengen put down his wine glass heavily: "Damn it, I suddenly feel very unhappy. I can't let him cover the sky with one hand like this. It all has to be decided by him. With his profit-seeking character, the people of Xiangjiang can't live in peace."
in dire straits.”
Mr. Huo thought for a moment and said, "You have to compete with him. You have to compete with him. You can't let him have the final say alone."
Mr. Guo smiled and said: "What, do you want to acquire shares of Hong Kong Electric on the stock market?"
Rong Zhengen sneered and said: "It's not necessary. It's not worth it to hurt people. Since water from the East River can enter Hong Kong, why can't electricity from the mainland enter the Hong Kong River? When there is a competitor on the market, I don't believe he won't lower the price."
"Then this is a big project." Mr. Li said seriously: "Infrastructure construction has always been thankless. We only have to invest continuously in the early stage. If you want to reap the rewards, you may have to wait."
Mr. Huo nodded: "This is unavoidable, but fortunately this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It can be invested in installments, and you won't just let me do this alone. Good brother, if there is any difficulty,
Let’s work together and enjoy the blessing together.”
Mr. Guo smiled and said, "That's because I'm not allowed to shout cheers for you or cheer you up or anything like that."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Jiang Hua put down his wine glass and said, "If you really want to do this, it's actually not that difficult. First we have to negotiate power transmission with the mainland, but we are not in a hurry to start infrastructure construction now, because we still have to build Xiangjiang."
Once everything is settled, Li Chaoren won't just watch us compete for food with him, so we have to wait for a more suitable time."
Everyone nodded, and Rong Zhengen said in agreement: "Yes, timing is very important. We still have at least ten years, so we can wait slowly. As long as the relationship between both parties is established, the rest is a trivial matter.
