Chapter 2736

Zhao Desan nodded and walked out of the hospital room in a hurry. Coming out of the hospital, he drilled into his Passat and drove toward the address Jin Qianbao told him.

On the way, Zhao Desan wanted to call Tong Lan to ask for her opinion, but suddenly thought that Tong Lan definitely wouldn't let him go. Sometimes the competition between men is not what women think. Instead, it would be a hindrance because of women's participation. Zhao Desan had enough confidence to know that even if he went to the appointment alone, Jin Qianbao definitely wouldn't have the courage to do anything to him. After all, that old rascal had been in society for more than twenty years, and it was not easy for him to have the capital to do legitimate business, trying hard to whitewash himself. He would definitely not offend government people because of a woman. Zhao Desan was very sure of this point.

Xijing is the largest city in Hexi Province and also the capital of Hexi Province. It is located in the northwest and is the political, economic, and cultural center of the northwest region. Due to its unique geographical location, rich products, and outstanding people, many dynasties in history established their capitals here, achieving one prosperity after another. But also because of the geographical location, after the reform and opening up, Xijing's economy gradually went downhill. The major coastal cities with rapid economic development quickly surpassed Xijing, making Xijing's popularity in China lower and lower. But Xijing's development in history was actually not slow. After all, it had a solid foundation and was still the largest city in Hexi Province. Its economic aggregate was firmly in the forefront of Hexi. Even in Yuyang City of Hexi Province, relying on its rich coal resources, economic development was advancing by leaps and bounds, having the trend of surpassing Xijing, but in terms of foundation, it was still a big gap from Xijing. Yuyang was the second largest city in the whole province. Among the eight prefecture-level cities in the whole province, Xijing was firmly the leader, while Baoping and Yuyang were firmly in the second group sequence. Compared with Yuyang, the fourth-ranked Hanzhou had a big gap.

As the undisputed second-largest city, Xijing firmly holds the leading position among the eight prefecture-level cities in the province, while the cities of Baoping and Yuyang are firmly in the second-tier group. Compared to Yuyang, Hanzhou, which is in fourth place, has a significant gap.

However, Jin Qianbao didn't have such complex emotions about this city, only consistent love and gratitude. He started as a small rascal on the street and did a lot of unseen things on the streets and alleys. But he also accumulated huge wealth from this. Even now, although this guy had been trying hard to whitewash himself, he still did some unseen things in places like tea houses to obtain benefits.

Xijing is a famous cultural city in history, and it is precisely because of this that Xijing's pace was very slow, always conservative, especially in its own economic development, having a certain exclusionary attitude toward some foreign investment. In that relatively closed environment, Jin Qianbao once took goods from the south to do trade in Xijing, which allowed him to climb from poverty to a high position above others. Jin Qianbao's villa was located on the side of the Wei River, the main river flowing through Xijing. Looking at the rolling river from the courtyard, Jin Qianbao seemed to be able to feel a sense of peace and comfort.

At this time, Jin Qianbao was sitting comfortably in the courtyard. This was a small hillside on the side of the Wei River, looking down at the river from a high position. There was no wall in the courtyard, only a low fence, so as not to affect Jin Qianbao's interest in watching the water. Anyway, it didn't matter whether there was a wall or not. Even if the gate was wide open, the pickpockets in the whole Xijing who were looking for partial doors wouldn't dare to approach here for half a step.
