Chapter 164 Old friend

In the morning, Lu Zheng presided over a special meeting to listen to the first batch of key construction projects formulated by Wushan City in 1994 next year, and study matters related to key construction projects. Liu Jiaqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Executive Vice Mayor, Du Kecheng, Chairman of the Municipal CPPCC, and Zeng Jiang, Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, attended the meeting.

In the afternoon, Lu Zheng went to Xigang District to inspect the work again.

Almost every day, Lu Zheng spent this busy life.

In a blink of an eye, the first snow of the year fell on Wushan.

On a snowy morning, Lu Zheng accompanied Zhao Pingfan, the mayor of Binhai New District, to Ping'an Street, opposite the bridge from Xin'an Street in Binhai New District. Now Ping'an Street is the largest electronic street in the Republic and an electronic product distribution center. There are many high-rise buildings on this street. The headquarters of several of the most famous computer companies in China are located here. In addition, the newly completed Tianyuan Computer City has also set a precedent for the domestic computer assembly model.

Lu Zheng and Zhao Pingfan did not take a few escorts and were walking comfortably on the street. When Lu Zheng was rising, he also helped the busy cleaning workers shovel the snow. The accompanying secretary Wang Tianfu picked up the camera and wanted to take a picture, but was stopped by Lu Zheng waved his hand.

Wang Tianfu brought the camera without Lu Zheng in advance, but Wang Tianfu heard that Mayor Lu was going to take a walk on the Electronic Street, so he spontaneously brought the camera over. This move can only be said that he has a high political awareness and Lu Zheng did not blame him, but it is unnecessary to take photos and publish in the newspaper.

"Ordinary, our Wushan is developing so fast, right?" Standing on the overpass, looking at the skyscrapers in the distance, looking down at the endless traffic under your feet, Lu Zheng said with emotion.

"Yes, it's fast, it's very fast, and time passes quickly." Zhao Pingfan's heart was even more ups and downs. He witnessed the development of the entire Wushan area in recent years, and sometimes he felt like he was a different world.

"In the next ten years, I don't know what Wushan will become." Lu Zheng held the railing and said thoughtfully.

"It will definitely get better and better." There was a hint of firmness in Zhao Pingfan's eyes.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and reached out. Wang Tianfu, who was standing behind Lu Zheng, understood and hurriedly took out the cigarette from his bag. However, Lu Zheng thought about it and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's be a role model. I think ten years later, our Wushan Association will start to implement a street ban."

Zhao Pingfan smiled and said, "The mayor is thinking about it for a long time."

After standing behind his hands for a while, Lu Zheng looked at his watch and said, "It's time to leave. I'll have to meet Zhu Mingze today?"

Wang Tianfu hurriedly said, "Yes, at 9 o'clock in the morning, you should attend the commendation meeting for the snow disaster in Northeast Ice City held at the Convention and Exhibition Center. The General Office's reply to Huanghe Industrial is that if there is enough time, you will negotiate with Zhu Mingze for fifteen to twenty minutes after the commendation meeting."

Lu Zheng nodded and asked again: "How much did he donate?"

Wang Tianfu said: "On behalf of the Yellow River Industry, I donated two million."

Lu Zheng nodded slightly: "It's okay."

Zhao Pingfan couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Zhu Mingze has matured in recent years, right?" When talking about Zhu Mingze, as an old Qinglong man, the first thing Zhao Pingfan thought of was the Qinglong Golf Course project that was called to stop a few years ago. In this farce, Zhu Mingze is an image of a playboy being deceived. After so many years, this image cannot be removed.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Who knows?"

Zhao Pingfan said no more. Zhu Mingze is an important figure in the development of Yellow River Industry in the mainland. Yellow River Industry is preparing to invest in the construction of Asia's largest electronic city in Wushan. Zhu Mingze has repeatedly expressed his hope to be received by the mayor through various channels. This side is actually a pity for Huanghe Industry. Otherwise, the senior executives of Huanghe Industry would definitely think that Mayor Lu was biased against Huanghe Industry. After all, when Huanghe Industry was blocked from investment in Qinglong, Mayor Lu was the county magistrate of Qinglong County.

However, with the current status of Mayor Lu, he would not deliberately take time to meet him. This formal meeting would be enough if Mr. Zhu or Mr. Zhu's younger brother, who has real power in the Yellow River Industrial Headquarters. As for Zhu Mingze, his status in the Yellow River Industrial has been in a state of decline in recent years, and even his second brother was gradually replaced by his second brother. He was able to meet Mayor Lu in this way because of the identity of the eldest son of the Zhu family.

After standing on the overpass for a while, the cool breeze was broken, Zhao Pingfan gradually couldn't stand it. He turned his head and glanced at the mayor, but saw that the mayor seemed to have no feeling, so he had no choice but to stand up. Fortunately, after a while, the mayor waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Pingfan nodded slightly, knowing why the mayor called him when he was walking, and to show closeness; to tell himself that the mayor of Binhai New Area is now on his development. The mayor of the district party secretary Dong Kuan and the mayor have always been dissatisfied. The mayor transferred him to the new district, so he naturally had high hopes for himself.

When he got off the overpass, Wang Tianfu couldn't help but secretly took a few photos of the mayor's advice, even if he didn't make an article, he would keep it as a souvenir.

In the Peony Hall of the Convention and Exhibition Center, when Lu Zheng walked in, Zhu Mingze and his wife had been waiting for a long time. When Lu Zheng came in, Zhu Mingze and his wife were stunned. Although he had known that Governor Lu was young, Zhu Mingze always felt that he should be about the same age as him and was almost forty. In the political system of the Communist Party of China, as a deputy ministerial-level official at the leadership level of the party and government, he was young enough, but he didn't expect that Governor Lu was younger than him and more than teenagers.

Zhu Mingze was stunned. The couple had been notified by the staff to wait in front of the VIP room. After being stunned, Zhu Mingze hurriedly walked up two steps and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Lu Zheng, "Governor Lu, I have long admired your name. I met today, how lucky I am to do this."

Lu Zheng smiled and shook hands with him and said, "We are old friends too, don't be polite."

Zhu Mingze was sure that the word "old friend" was spoken by Chinese politicians and had a rich meaning. Although this governor Lu was not old, he was said to be a sophisticated politician who could not be more sophisticated. Some people said that he was just thirty years old. He thought it was a rumor, but even his father didn't believe it, he thought it was just a deviation from the age in the Cultural Revolution archives. But now, it is indeed undoubtedly true that he really didn't know how he was just thirty years old to take the position of deputy governor. After the reform and opening up, it was simply incredible to talk about the senior CCP, but at the same time, it also shows that this governor Lu has extraordinary ability.

The investment in Qinglong several years ago was proven to be a scam. Zhu Mingze was silent for two or three years before he regained his father's trust. However, his development in the mainland last year suffered another heavy blow. The bankruptcy of his partner, He Tianlong, suffered huge losses to Huanghe Industrial. As a result, Zhu Mingze lost his father's trust again. This time, the situation was even worse. All signs indicate that his father was ready to train Zhu Mingsheng, the second young master of the Zhu family, as his successor.

Countless lessons丨 Zhu Mingze finally lowered his proud head and finally believed in what it means to be someone else. If he said that when he saw Lu Zheng a few years ago, he would definitely not be convinced. He thought that Lu Zheng was just luck at a young age, but now, he regards Lu Zheng's age as a reflection of Lu Zheng's ability. Any success is not accidental.

Zhu Mingze's newlywed wife, the retired Hong Kong famous actress Zhu Minmin, dressed up and shook hands with Lu Zheng with a smile.

Everyone sat down. When Zhu Mingze saw the gray-haired Wushan Civil Affairs Director and other senior officials in front of Lu Zheng, he felt more and more that the young governor in front of him was so powerful that he would be worth his journey.

"How does Mr. Zhu feel about our Wushan?" Lu Zheng asked with a smile.

Zhu Mingze hurriedly said, "Of course it's good, of course it's good. I think it's better than Hong Kong in ten or twenty years." He also said, "You can call me Mingze, or my English name is Jamie."

Lu Zheng did not take his words and continued to follow his own ideas: "There is nothing to be proud of if the total economic output exceeds Hong Kong. I hope that the humanistic environment and citizens' ideological atmosphere of Wushan can surpass Hong Kong. This is our goal of Wushan. Of course, you Hong Kong citizens are in a peaceful corner and have always received British education. They have a certain narrow-mindedness in their thoughts. We don't want prejudice and pride. To use a saying, take the essence and remove the dross."

Zhu Mingze smiled and said, "Yes, yes." Governor Lu spoke a lot, surpassing Hong Kong, but when he said it, he felt it was natural. This is the charm of politicians.

Lu Zheng asked again: "Does Mr. Zhu have any difficulties in Wushan? It's not just Wushan, but also our entire mainland. What do you think is the investment environment that needs to be improved the most, and what do you care about the most?"

Zhu Mingze hesitated for a moment and said, "Now the mainland protects the interests of Hong Kong businessmen very much, and we are all very satisfied.

Lu Zheng nodded, then raised his wrist to look at his watch.

Zhu Mingze sighed in his heart. The short meeting was about to end. Governor Lu expressed his concern, asked a few questions, answered a few questions and answered them himself. For other businessmen, it was naturally an honor, but it was far from enough for him, because from the moment he met Governor Lu, he knew that this might be an opportunity, an opportunity to turn back.

"Mr. Zhu, I have some arrangements. Let's talk next time." Lu Zheng smiled and stood up. It was not an excuse. It was indeed full of schedules. Otherwise, I would like to talk to Zhu Mingze for a few more words, because Zhu Mingze was completely different from his own impression. It seems that people are growing up through hardships.

Zhu Mingze and Zhu Minmin hurriedly stood up and took Lu Zheng to the entrance of the VIP room together, and then sent him out. Lu Zheng's entourage politely declined.

Looking at Lu Zheng's back as he was leaving, Zhu Mingze said thoughtfully: "Kelly, what do you think of people like Governor Lu?"

Zhu Minmin shook her head. Although Governor Lu was young, he was powerful and could not speculate with ordinary people's thinking. Moreover, the CCP politicians are not so easy to get close to.

Zhu Mingze sighed softly again and said, "Let's go." He walked along the opposite direction of the long corridor with some loss. Zhu Minmin hurriedly followed, knowing in his heart that the second young master in his family was aggressive and the eldest son was very unhappy recently. Maybe after seeing this young Governor Lu, he would feel more lost when he saw the age and achievements of others.
