Chapter 1412: Is He Planning to Make a Quick Profit and Leave?
After Jiang Jing became Municipal Party Secretary, she began a series of personnel reforms.
At first, the opposition in Xiyang officialdom was very loud, and many people wrote various complaint letters to the province, which put Jiang Jing in an extremely passive position.
For this reason, Jiang Jing specifically went to the province several times to find Gong Weimin, and the two communicated many times before the personnel reforms were finally able to be pushed forward.
Although Gong Weimin had been transferred to the province, his influence in Xiyang remained very great.
Some matters would just be discussed at a meeting, and as soon as the meeting ended, Gong Weimin would call.
Although Gong Weimin and Jiang Jing had gained a better understanding of each other due to the August flood control, and the previous conflicts had eased slightly, the fundamental problems in Xiyang had not been resolved.
Xiyang responded to the national call to carry out downsizing and streamlining of positions.
This was an open card played by Jiang Jing to change the situation.
By reducing the burden and slimming down, eliminating a batch of personnel would facilitate control over personnel.
Therefore, the Xiyang officialdom has been in a state of extreme nervousness recently!
The Municipal Office in Beijing was also within the scope of streamlining, and Li Hang, Deputy Director of the Municipal Office in Beijing, was thus "reasonably and compliantly" streamlined out.
……
After today's class ended, Li Dongchen caught up with Tang Ye, "Want to go for a drink together tonight?"
Tang Ye smiled and politely declined, "The Xiyang Municipal Party Secretary has come to Yanjing, and there is an event I must attend."
Li Dongchen said regretfully, "Without you there to hold the fort, it seems I'm going to be forced to drink by Zhang Feiyue and the others tonight."
Returning to the dormitory, Tang Ye dialed Lu Tianming's number.
"Director Lu, let me ask you, what is the background of the guests for today's dinner?"
Lu Tianming said, "The other party is the General Manager of a financial company, surnamed Feng."
Tang Ye continued to ask, "What industry is this financial company looking to invest in recently?"
Lu Tianming said, "They want to incubate an E-commerce enterprise and are currently scouting for suitable bases all over the country."
Tang Ye thought to himself that Dayu County had engaged in an E-commerce Incubation Base two years ago, which belonged to the industry pioneers.
However, many places across the country are now engaging in E-commerce; those are the followers.
E-commerce does indeed represent the current trend.
But every industry has a life cycle.
When everyone pays attention to a certain industry being red-hot, it often has already reached a critical point.
Many capitals have smelled the opportunities for E-commerce in Huaguo, so they have entered the field one after another.
Tang Ye rested in his room for a while, then received a call from an unknown number.
"County Magistrate Tang, I am Zhang Lei, the driver for the Xiyang Beijing Liaison Office. I have already arrived at the gate of the Party School."
"Alright, wait a moment, I'll be there immediately!"
Tang Ye took his briefcase and arrived at the gate of the Party School.
Zhang Lei hurried over with a smile on his face, "County Magistrate Tang, hello, please get in the car."
Tang Ye sat in the back row of the sedan.
Zhang Lei observed Tang Ye's expression through the rearview mirror from time to time.
It is said that Li Hang was transferred away because he offended Tang Ye, so he himself must not make any mistakes.
Tang Ye arrived at the dining location half an hour early.
Jiang Jing walked into the private room with a few people.
She introduced Tang Ye to the people beside her, "This is Comrade Tang Ye, the youngest County Magistrate in our Xiyang City."
Tang Ye took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with the man, "Mr. Feng, hello!"
Feng Weimin shook hands with Tang Ye; although he was not old, he had contact with many government officials.
Although Tang Ye was crowned with the title of the youngest County Magistrate, Feng Weimin did not attach much importance to Tang Ye in his heart.
Everyone took their seats.
The waiter served the dishes.
Jiang Jing picked up her wine glass and said to Feng Weimin, "Mr. Feng, you are really hard to book! I have invited you to visit Xiyang many times, but you never give me a chance. However, I still want to thank you; I will toast you."
Feng Weimin hurriedly clinked glasses with Jiang Jing.
Afterwards, both sides drained their glasses.
"Thank you for the invitation, Secretary Jiang. Please rest assured, if there is an opportunity, I will definitely go to Xiyang. I will have to trouble you then."
Jiang Jing smiled slightly, "Mr. Feng is the God of Wealth; we welcome you, so how could it be a trouble?"
Feng Weimin said modestly, "I am not the God of Wealth; I am just a manager of wealth."
Tang Ye took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Feng, the wealthy do indeed have wealth under their names, but the actual right to use the wealth is not in their hands. Only the managers have the power to decide the flow of funds."
Feng Weimin laughed, "You overestimate me. Managers must be responsible to their clients and have scientific and reasonable planning so that the bosses will give me the power to use the wealth."
Tang Ye nodded, "That makes sense. Mr. Feng, you are an expert in capital operations; could you share the secret to success from your perspective?"
Feng Weimin laughed, "What secret could there be? In fact, everything depends on timing. Capital operation is actually just a layer of paper; once poked through and explained, others can do it too. It's just that my tools are more advanced and my methods are faster."
Tang Ye continued to press, "May I ask, what are your tools and methods?"
The assistant beside Feng Weimin spoke up at this moment, "Secretary Jiang, County Magistrate Tang, high technology refers not only to the information technology and biotechnology that people are familiar with, but also to financial technology that is not widely known. Mr. Feng can be so confident because our team has a set of globally leading financial tools and methodologies."
Jiang Jing saw that Tang Ye intended to debate with Feng Weimin, so she did not speak.
Sometimes, if you want others to value you, you cannot just blindly please them.
Strengthening mutual understanding through debate is also a very good approach.
However, Jiang Jing was a little worried.
Financial capital is Feng Weimin's professional field.
For Tang Ye to discuss finance with Feng Weimin seems a bit like overestimating his own abilities; if there is any place where he speaks unprofessionally, it will be a laughingstock.
Tang Ye was not deterred by Feng Weiming's high-handed attitude.
He had been writing a thesis recently and had studied quite a bit of financial knowledge.
Tang Ye continued to pose questions,
"Industrialists and financiers are two types of people with different temperaments.
Industrialists firmly believe that because they have been immersed in their industry for a long time, they can be called true people of a certain industry; in their view, those who are outside the circle and want to squeeze in are either ignorant of the depths and whimsical, or have no feelings or understanding for this industry, and just want to make a quick grab and leave.
Financiers think about problems in terms of money; they treat industry as a place to make money rather than a place to produce goods. Their eyes are fixed on money, not the production efficiency of the enterprise.
Mr. Feng, what is your take on this viewpoint?"
Feng Weiming looked at Tang Ye in surprise,
"This viewpoint of yours comes from the autobiography of the automobile tycoon, Henry Ford.
In the environment of a sound foreign financial system, there is no very clear division between finance and industry; the key is to look at the share ratio of the group's output value and profit.
If the output value of the financial business exceeds the industrial part, it is a group dominated by finance; conversely, it is a group dominated by industry.
However, I can guarantee that I am not here to make a quick grab and leave!
Rather, I want to build a brand-new business model with competitiveness."
Tang Ye had looked into Feng Weiming's background.
His first pot of gold was the consolidation of a dying domestic automobile factory.
Feng Weiming had a very deep understanding of the automobile industry.
So Tang Ye started from automobiles.
Sure enough, this instantly aroused Feng Weiming's interest and resonance!
Jiang Jing secretly thought that asking Tang Ye to accompany them was indeed a wise move; this kid had a broad range of knowledge, could pick up topics with ease, and would not let the atmosphere go cold.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Tang Ye stopped talking.
Jiang Jing took over the conversation with tacit understanding,
"Mr. Feng, it is clear that you are not only an Expert in capital operation, but also a person with dreams.
If you are willing to come to Xiyang to invest, as long as it is up to me, I will give you whatever you want;
for things that are up to the province and the state, I will go and lead the charge for you.
Capital operation is betting on the future, and I am willing to cross the river by feeling the stones with you!
In a word, Xiyang City will fully support you!"
