Dim lights, melodious piano music, and a strange smell in the air.

There are more than a dozen rows of booths in the lobby, but there are not many customers. It is empty and deserted...it turns out that this is a coffee shop.

Binjiang people don’t like drinking coffee very much, or they don’t have the habit of drinking coffee.

In fact, people in Binjiang not only don't like drinking coffee, they also don't drink tea very much. The total number of teahouses in Binjiang, including several districts and counties, may not be as many as in a single town on the other side of the river.

After all, it is because of poverty. Everyone is busy making money to support their families. Who has the spare money and leisure time to drink tea and coffee?

This person will become poor when he is poor.

Soil will be looked down upon by others.

Therefore, no matter how much Binjiang people love and yearn for the East China Sea, they have been running to the East China Sea more than a hundred years ago, and no matter how much they have contributed to the development of the East China Sea, the people in Donghai still call Binjiang people the derogatory "Gang Baining" (

Jiangbei people).

In fact, not only the East China Sea, but also the people of Shuzhou, Okura and Zhangjia Hong Kong who are just across the river also call Binjiang people this way...

However, what Li Guangming was thinking about at this moment was not whether the people on the other side of the river would look down on him, nor why the expensive coffee tasted so bad, but what he wanted to do was to hit someone!

Half an hour ago, the 27- or 28-year-old bespectacled guy sitting opposite me came to my door.

He is oily-haired and slutty, and you can tell at a glance that he is not a good bird. If you weren't worried about disturbing the neighbors, you wouldn't come to such a place with him.

What was even more unexpected was that as soon as he sat down, this little bastard started talking about Salted Fish. He meant to clean up Salted Fish, and even expressed sympathy for his own experience.

Who is he? Do I need his sympathy?

At first Li Guangming just wanted to leave and ignore him, but in the end he actually claimed that he wanted to report Xianyu, and it sounded like he had already put it into practice.

If the superiors really believed him and came to investigate Xianyu, the leaders in Linghai would definitely think that it was me, Li Guangming, who did it. Even if the leaders in Linghai didn't think so, they would still pull out the carrots and bring out the mud if they were allowed to investigate.

.

It’s true that when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven!

Li Guangming was so angry that he suppressed the urge to beat him up and said calmly: "Boss Qiu, this is the first time we have met. We have never interacted with each other before. Now it is a bit superficial to say this."

"Director Li, believe me, I don't mean any harm, I'm just trying to help you vent your anger.

Qiu Xiaohua was also not used to drinking coffee, so he pretended to take a sip, picked up the Soft China again, and said with joy: "There is a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I believe we will become good friends."

You’ve watched too many movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the enemy of your enemy is your friend...

Li Guangming cursed secretly, stood up and said: "If you don't explain the matter clearly, then we'll stop here. Who knows what you do, and don't think about what I did before!"

"Director Li, don't worry, if you have anything to say, talk to me."

"If you have anything to say, please tell me, I have something else to do."

"Director Li, since we have talked about this, I will not hide it from you. The man named Han and his little wife who is the director of the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau are not the same thing. They insist on causing trouble for us."

Li Guangming sat down and asked, "What do you do?"

Qiu Xiaohua just wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible and go back to ask for money from his second uncle. He said bluntly: "We are in the sand mining business. The man named Han and his wife seized our boat and fined us. We don't want to

If we argue with him, we will give him whatever fine his mother-in-law says.

In addition to paying the fine, we also prepared some little things for him. But he was shameless and insisted on being on the line. He also threatened us, saying that he didn't want to see us mining sand on the river again, saying that he would be arrested every time he saw it.

Once caught, punished once!”

It turned out that salted fish blocked their way to make money.

Li Guangming nodded and asked, "How did you find me?"

"Just asking, many people know about the right things he did with you."

"Then how did you find out that I live in Dingxiang Community?"

"I went to Sanxing for errands. When I returned, I called a taxi in Sanxing. The taxi driver told me this. He said that he once sent someone to the city and saw you in the community where you live now."

There are many illegal drivers in Sanxing, and almost all of them know me. I didn’t expect that I would be encountered by those illegal drivers.

It seems that we are moving, not just moving, but also moving away from Binjiang!

Li Guangming was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you doing in Sanxing?"

Qiu Xiaohua handed over a cigarette and said with an embarrassed smile: "As long as Han and his mother-in-law are in Sanhe, we can't do business safely. The only way to get them out is to report them."

"So you came to Sanhe to find me?"

"Director Li, you know him best, we can only ask for your help."

"You think I'd do you this favor?"

"Didn't I just say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?" Qiu Xiaohua looked back and said with a smile: "Director Li, don't worry, as long as you are willing to work with us to get someone named Han, we will definitely not let you go to waste.

help."

Li Guangming asked with a smile: "What do you mean?"

"After everything is done, I will give you 10,000 yuan and a little kindness."

"The man named Han is now the director of the Development Zone Bureau. Boss Qiu, do you think the director of the Public Security Bureau is only worth 10,000 yuan?"

"No matter how much more, I can't make the decision. I have to go back and ask my second uncle."

Li Guangming raised his hand and called to the waiter, asking for paper and pen, asking Qiu Xiaohua to write down his contact information. He then put away the contact information and stood up: "Boss Qiu, you go back and ask your second uncle first. I also have to go back and think about it."

Qiu Xiaohua subconsciously asked: "What are you considering?"

"Little brother, things about the Communist Party are not as simple as you think. You want to drive away people named Han with just a few reporting letters. Are you kidding me? You don't even think about it, as long as there are a few cadres who have never been reported!

"

"How to do it?"

"This kind of thing needs long-term planning, and you have to make a decision before taking action. You don't understand even if I tell you, you should go back and ask your second uncle first."

Li Guangming patted him on the shoulder and left without looking back.

Qiu Xiaohua was stunned for a while before he regained consciousness. He chased to the door and wanted to ask for Li Guangming's contact information, but Li Guangming's back had disappeared around the corner of the street.

…

Several foreign sand mining bosses on the river were pulling the newly mined river sand to the dock one after another. The small crane on the dock was still dripping when the small crane on the dock lifted the river sand from the cabin to the shore.

Qiu Zhiming saw that the old accountant hired by Zhang Zhenglong was calculating the dock fees and loading and unloading fees with the sand mining boss, and he still felt uneasy. He was about to go up and ask the sand mining boss from out of town where these ships of sand were harvested. In the office

The phone rang.

"Hello, who's there?"

"Manager Qiu, I promise you two!"

"I know, what's going on?"

"The man named Han is back, but he left again."

"make it clear!"

"He and several cadres from the Linghai Development Zone accompanied two overseas Chinese for a visit. First they went to the Lingda Steam Ferry, then to several shipyards on the riverside, and finally to the port to supervise the barges. On the barges

After sitting there for less than twenty minutes, I took a car and left."

"How do you know you are an overseas Chinese?"

"Everyone on the riverside knows that they visited several units and it seems that the two overseas Chinese came back from Canada."

Accompanying overseas Chinese on visits and inspections is an attempt to introduce foreign investment.

Compared with attracting investment to develop the economy, sand mining on the river is really not a big deal!

The more Qiu Zhiming thought about it, the more sense it made. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Where is his mother-in-law?"

"Go away in the car with them."

Xu Er, who was in charge of monitoring in Sanhe, looked back behind him and added: "I almost forgot that the people accompanying the overseas Chinese in Canada were not only the cadres of the development zone, but also the leaders of Binjiang Navigation School and Linghai Vocational High School."

Qiu Zhiming asked: "How did you know?"

"There are several employees at the ferry who graduated from the Binjiang Shipping School. One of the people who came here is Teacher Wu. He used to teach ferry drivers and also taught Mr. Han and his mother-in-law! They were chatting at the ferry just now.

Ten minutes."

"I know, just keep watching and call me if there's any trouble."

"Nothing to keep track of, they are all gone."

"I'll keep an eye on you if I ask you to. It's not like I won't pay you wages."

…

Qiu Zhiming's information is correct. Han Yu and Han Xiangning are indeed busy attracting investment.

It's just that today, it's not just the overseas Chinese Zhang Asheng and Shen Rulan who are accompanying them on the inspection tour. They are also accompanied by the leading teachers of their alma mater, Mr. Chen from the Linghai Foreign Economic and Technical Cooperation Company and Principal Hu from the Linghai Vocational High School.

Although city leaders attach great importance to attracting investment, they pay even more attention to the introduction of foreign investment.

However, it is impossible for the city leaders to negotiate in person. They will only accompany us for a meal, help solve any difficulties encountered, and attend the signing ceremony to witness the negotiation. The specific work still has to be done by the people below.

According to the latest regulations of the Management Committee, whoever contacts the merchant will be responsible for it. When the funds introduced are in place and the project is implemented, the investment commission will be paid to whomever!
