After Ye Kai left Qin Fangchen, he did not leave the provincial party committee compound.
He went directly to the new Provincial Party Committee Secretary Comrade Yue Shan, and the gift was still old wild ginseng.
"Isn't this too expensive?" Comrade Yue Shan said in shock when he saw the gift from Ye Kai.
Originally, he didn't care much about these things, but his wife's health was not good. Last year, his children asked someone to buy two old wild ginseng trees. They were not big in size but the price was very high. After Comrade Yue Shan found out,
I also said a few words to them, saying that the price of this thing is too high and we can't afford it.
Among provincial and ministerial level officials, Comrade Yue Shan is considered a rather special figure.
He was born at the grassroots level, not like a county magistrate or county party committee secretary, but a real grassroots level. He worked in a coal kiln and dug coal, and later worked in a mine for a long time, and finally worked in a national ministry, and then returned directly from a national ministry.
Jobs in Hedong Province.
Comrade Yue Shan's lover has never been special. He has been working at the grassroots level from the beginning and is a very ordinary worker. Although he is older and has recovered from illness, he still has many old problems.
Nowadays, most of Comrade Yueshan's sons and daughters work in the capital, and some work abroad, so they often buy some nutritional supplements to honor their elders. However, luxury nutritional supplements like Laoshan Ginseng are still not affordable.
Precisely because Comrade Yue Shan had seen Laoshan Ginseng, he knew that the effect of this thing was indeed very good, but the price was very high. The ones Ye Kai brought over were probably treasures with a price but no market.
"When I went to Liaodong, I dug it myself. It's expensive, but it's for people to eat after all, so if you don't circulate it through the market, it's just like that." Ye Kai's words.
It's almost the same as Qin Fangchen's, and he added, "I went to Secretary Qin's place just now and left two pills for him. His old father is not in good health, so I'm not polite."
"Well, you are called corrupting cadres." Comrade Yue Shan said with a smile after hearing this.
However, he accepted the things, and then went to rummage in the bookcase for a while. He dug out a box of tea leaves for Ye Kai and said, "It's not rude to come back without reciprocating. This is a gift from my old classmate who works in the south."
Mine is said to be good. But I have no interest in it, so I just kept it as a thought and gave it to you."
Ye Kai saw it, opened the box and looked at it, and found that it was an aged Pu'er tea cake.
Judging from the handwriting on the outer packaging tissue paper, it should be a product from the 1930s. The box was found separately later. This is indeed a rare tea.
"Secretary Yue, I can't accept this." Ye Kai put the tea back and refused sternly.
"Why? You don't drink tea?" Comrade Yue Shan was greatly surprised.
Ye Kai's behavior was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. Logically speaking, courtesy reciprocates, and Comrade Yue Shan sent him a box of tea in return. This is normal. It also means that the old man does not usually accept gifts, but Ye Kai actually refused to accept them.
It feels very strange.
"It's not that I don't drink tea, it's just that your tea is a bit too expensive." Ye Kai replied, "If I accept it, I will get a big advantage. Although the current price of this kind of aged Pu'er is not
It’s very high, but after ten years or so, the price will definitely be sky-high, so I suggest you keep it for yourself.”
"Can this thing be sold at a sky-high price?" Secretary Yue Shan didn't quite believe it after hearing this.
He had also drunk Pu'er tea, but he didn't feel anything. In his impression, a large piece of catechu cake only cost a few yuan, but it was enough for him to drink for several months, so he felt that this thing given by his old classmate was also good.
It's just a souvenir, not worth much.
"There is a saying in southern Yunnan that it is called grandpa's tea, and the grandson sells it. This Pu'er tea is said to be an antique that can be imported, so it is naturally valuable." Ye Kai explained, "Pu'er tea becomes more precious as it ages, and becomes more valuable as it ages.
Value, the price of some aged Pu'er tea has exceeded the price of gold in the market. Although your box of Pu'er tea is less than a century old, it is very rare and its future market value will definitely be very high. And please take a look, it is very complete
A tea basket contains seven tea cakes, which is exactly seven yuan. As for the price, it’s hard to say now, but in about ten years, the price will be at least three to five times the price of gold of the same weight.
about."
"It's so expensive, aren't you bluffing my old man?" Comrade Yue Shan said in surprise after hearing this.
"Haha, Pu'er tea gets more fragrant as it ages, and this thing has no shelf life, which is incomparable to any other tea. Time cannot be turned back, and the aging of Pu'er tea takes time. Good Pu'er tea equals good raw materials plus the accumulation of time.
The price of aged Pu'er tea is naturally difficult to estimate. If you add in your old celebrity effect, it is estimated that the price of this tea is more than ten times the price of gold, which is also possible." Ye Kai replied with a smile.
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." Comrade Yue Shan smiled and said, "How can there be any reason to take back what you have said? I have already accepted your Laoshan ginseng. Reciprocity is what you come for.
If so, you can just accept it. Besides, even if this Pu'er tea is worth gold, the old wild ginseng you brought is also worth gold."
"Okay, since you keep saying that, I'll accept it." Ye Kai nodded and did not dwell on this matter anymore.
When it comes to the price of aged Pu'er, it will only start to be hyped up about ten years later, reaching a level beyond the reach of ordinary people. Although aged Pu'er is relatively expensive now, it is not so outrageously high.
That is to say, a person like Ye Kai can know that although this thing is dark and inconspicuous, it will be worth as much as gold in the future, or even higher than the price of gold.
After the two people exchanged gifts, they sat down and talked.
"This person is similar to the tea leaves." Comrade Yue Shan suddenly said with emotion, "You are the new Longjing tea in the Ming Dynasty, and we are the old Pu'er tea that has been stored for decades. Time flies so fast. Back then,
When I was your age, I was still working in the coal mine."
"Secretary Yue's metaphor is quite interesting." Ye Kai said with a smile, "The times are progressing and society is developing. There may be more strange phenomena in the future, but no matter how many new Longjing teas were put in before the Ming Dynasty,
Ten years of aged Pu'er has its own value, which no one can replace."
Secretary Yue Shan looked at Ye Kai, smiled and nodded, agreeing with his statement.
In fact, just by looking at these two people here, you can appreciate the true meaning of tea being like people.
Ye Kai is like a freshly brewed Longjing tea. It is very refreshing. Ye Kai's pace of doing things is also relatively lively. At least these few times when he dealt with important matters, he was basically concise, lively and neat.
Comrade Yueshan is like an old Pu'er. Although he does things in an unassuming way, he handles things properly without even realizing it, leaving people with lingering memories that linger for three days.
I admired the sophisticated way of doing things.
These two people came together, but they each had their own merits. At least Secretary Yue Shan felt that when he was Ye Kai's age, he didn't have his means. He also felt very emotional in his heart. The old Ye family really has talents, no matter where they are.
If one person is pulled out, wouldn’t everyone be a momentary hero?
"However, the new tea is stronger. When drinking it, you always have to brew it three times before you can appreciate the taste. If you just can't calm down, you may never be able to appreciate the aftertaste of the tea aroma." Secretary Yue Shan
said.
"This naturally depends on personal taste." Ye Kai said, "Just like drinking, some people like Shao Knife, some people like sake, some people like Lao Baifen wine, and some people like Erguotou
.”
Ye Kai knew very well what Yue Shan meant. He was talking about things in teasing terms, reminding him not to be too direct or too hasty in doing things, but to pay attention to the methods. With the way he acted now, problems could easily arise. As the saying goes, if you are strong, you will be easily broken.
.
It should be said that Secretary Yue Shan also has good intentions. If the friendship is not enough, people will not bother to discuss these issues with him.
Of course, it may also be because of the face of those old wild ginseng trees. After all, the significance of this thing cannot be calculated in terms of money. It is a special gift.
However, Ye Kai knows his own affairs well. His problem is that he is too young, so the general rules of conduct in the officialdom are invalid and cannot be applied to him. If he wants to overwhelm the small group and unify the martial arts world,
You must have your own method.
Just like Ye Kai's drastic and decisive approach now, it is actually to build his own momentum. After everyone has adapted to Secretary Ye's approach and works conscientiously, he will not need to be so showy.
"How did you deal with Gu Bing's matter?" Secretary Yue Shan said a few words, seemingly inspired by his thoughts. Then he changed the subject and asked about Gu Bing, the son of Deputy Secretary Gu Cheng.
After all, Gu Bing's incident has attracted attention in Longcheng City recently. Now many people are waiting to see Ye's joke. After all, he, the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, wants to bring the son of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee to justice.
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Everyone is guessing when Deputy Secretary Gu Cheng will go crazy and overthrow this young boy who dares to offend his dignity?
Although Secretary Yue Shan would not directly ask about this matter, since he met Ye Kai, he would always ask. He was actually a little curious about this matter.
"Gu Bing, if his family asks, it's not a big deal to let him go home for the New Year." Ye Kai replied.
"Oh?" Secretary Yue Shan's heart moved after hearing this. He obviously thought about what was behind Ye Kai's move.
