The weather was kind, and there was a light rain in the early morning of Saturday. It cleared up in the morning, and the cool breeze blew, which was particularly refreshing.
Arowanas are easily frightened, so the staff at Shenlong Fishing Ground did not set off firecrackers. The speakers played festive music, and the host held a microphone and kept introducing Shenlong Fishing Ground.
A huge inflatable door stood in front of the door, and many people came in and out.
Not only businessmen and customers from the arowana industry came here to visit, but friends from Fang Tianfeng and Chairman Yan also came one after another.
Chairman Yan had already made preparations. In addition to the arowana placed in the main hall, tables were set up in the back room and on the second floor with tobacco, wine, sugar, tea and various foods for the guests to rest.
Chairman Yan had been preparing for this day for a long time. He and Fang Tianfeng stood at the door to greet the guests.
At the beginning, most of them were friends of President Yan. Whenever friends with status came, President Yan would introduce them to Fang Tianfeng.
"This is Mr. Zhang, the owner of Wande Fishing Farm."
"This is the King of Dongjiang Koi."
"Brother Li, why are you free today?"
…
Whenever Chairman Yan welcomes an acquaintance, he will welcome him to the room at the back of the hall. Anyone who can welcome him in person is either rich or noble, and no one is worth less than 10 million.
Since most of these guests had interacted with each other, they were secretly surprised when they saw each other. They understood that Chairman Yan had lost his old face this time and invited almost all the reputable people from the Ornamental Fish Farm in Dongjiang Province to treat this opening more favorably than the Arowana Competition he hosted.
All serious.
People who watch the fish trap don't know much about Fang Tianfeng. They only know that Pang Jingzhou talked to Fang Tianfeng during the last dragon fish competition and even met senior officials of the Discipline Inspection Commission. As for Fang Tianfeng, he was the director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture for gambling worth millions.
, not many people know.
Shenlong Fishing Farm has a small facade, and no one sent banners. Most of the guests brought various flower baskets. Dozens of large flower baskets were placed so full that even the entrance of the Arowana shop next to it was blocked.
Not long after, Fang Tianfeng's friends arrived one after another.
The first person to come was Meng Decai, followed by several shareholders of Jiayuan Real Estate.
Chairman Yan took a look and thought that there was a difference in level between him and Master Fang. His friend's car was pretty good, but Meng Decai and others' cars were all top-notch luxury cars or sports cars in the world.
Just now, Chairman Yan introduced to Fang Tianfeng, and now it is Fang Tianfeng who introduces to Chairman Yan.
"This is Meng Decai, the vice president of Jiayuan Group. You have met before." Fang Tianfeng said.
Chairman Yan didn't know Meng Decai's identity before. Now he hurriedly bent down to shake hands when he heard it. He bent too quickly and almost broke his waist. Jiayuan Group is one of the strongest real estate groups in Yunhai City. Not only is it strong,
He also has a rich background. Although Chairman Yan is the president of the Dongjiang Provincial Aquarium Association, his assets are only about 50 to 60 million. He is too far away from the Jiayuan Group.
Fang Tianfeng introduced Mr. Duan and others again, and Chairman Yan showed great respect.
These people brought all kinds of gifts, including jade cabbage, famous people's calligraphy and paintings, and some ornaments. Some people came in a hurry and brought a check for one million.
Meng Decai brought nine salute guns. But the dragon fish was most afraid of being frightened and unable to use it, which made him feel embarrassed. Fortunately, he also brought other things, a bronze tripod that was as tall as a person, and two and a half people.
A large vase was placed at the end of the hall. The whole store immediately looked different, and even the voices of customers buying fish were much quieter.
Chairman Yan compared the gifts given by these people with those given by his friends, and thought to himself that this was the difference. Nothing given by these people was less than 500,000 yuan. Even if some big bosses worth over 100 million yuan opened their companies,
This may not be the case.
Fang Tianfeng sent Meng Decai to the second floor. As soon as he came downstairs, he saw Qin Yan bringing a group of friends, not many, only seven. It was obvious that Qin Yan had carefully selected them and did not dare to bring unreliable ones.
"Uncle Fang, don't treat us like guests. We came here empty-handed. We're afraid that you won't be able to help because you're busy opening the business, so you'll treat us like handymen." Qin Niao's hands were empty. He really didn't bring anything, but the more he felt like this, the more he became more and more worried.
appear close.
Fang Tianfeng glanced at these people. Five of the seven were older than him. Each of these people called Uncle Fang. Fang Tianfeng had no choice but to call Ali over and ask them to do some simple things.
Chairman Yan kept laughing with him. When these young people went in with Ali, he asked in a low voice: "Master Fang, is the man wearing a white crew-neck shirt just now the son of Deputy Director Chen of the Internal Revenue Service?"
"Don't ask me, I really don't know." Fang Tianfeng said.
"It must be. I've seen him twice. His eyes and nose are exactly the same as his father's." President Yan muttered in a low voice.
After a while, a large number of businessmen including Mr. and Mrs. Shi Weicheng, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Bowen, and the general manager of Anyao Fire Fighting Company came together. Zhang Bowen knew Chairman Yan, and everyone chatted for a while.
Not long after, some people who met Fang Tianfeng or heard of Fang Tianfeng sent people to send congratulatory gifts just because they were not close enough. Most of them were flower baskets and money, ranging from eight thousand to forty or fifty thousand.
Yuanzhou Real Estate gave away 88,888 yuan in the name of the company. Fang Tianfeng couldn't help but smile after receiving it, knowing that they pinched their noses and sent it.
At ten o'clock, the first wave of heavyweights came, led by Director Wu of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Director Ye of the TV station, Deputy Director Qin of the branch, and others. These people only gave away a few hundred yuan in red envelopes and nothing else.
After all, he is an official and he knows Fang Tianfeng's temper.
People in the official and business circles are different. When these people stop here, the people nearby immediately feel a different kind of pressure, especially Chairman Yan, who keeps wiping his sweat.
Fang Tianfeng sent these people to the second floor. The businessmen on the second floor, regardless of their wealth or family background, all stood up. Even if they didn't know these people, they could tell that they were all officials, let alone
The few people have met before.
Fang Tianfeng introduced Director Wu and others to them, allowing those businessmen who were far away from Fang Tianfeng to re-examine Fang Tianfeng's connections.
Not long after, Deputy Director Chai from the Construction Committee, Director Wang from the Civil Affairs Bureau and others came together to make the second floor even more lively.
Fang Tianfeng was talking upstairs when his cell phone rang. When he picked it up, He Changxiong said that he and Ning Youlan were downstairs, so he said goodbye to everyone and went downstairs.
After a while, Fang Tianfeng came up with He Changxiong, Ning Youlan, several uncles, and several younger brothers and sisters from the He family.
He Changxiong is one of the most famous dandies in Dongjiang Province. More than half of the people on the second floor have seen him. As soon as he and Fang Tianfeng went upstairs, chaos immediately broke out on the second floor. The sound of scraping tables and chairs could be heard endlessly. Some people didn't recognize him. Even after asking in a low voice, they didn't know.
Know where to place your hands.
As long as Mr. He is here, the He family will always be the number one wealthy family in Dongjiang Province. Even if Mr. He is not around, it will still be one of the top wealthy families.
If only one He Changxiong came, it might be because of a personal relationship, because after all, He Changxiong is only a member of the third generation of the He family. But this time there are several uncles from the second generation of the He family, which is a bit of a stabilizing force, showing to the outside world how much the He family values Fang Tianfeng.
.
Everyone felt that Fang Tianfeng was becoming more and more unfathomable, while Meng Decai and other people who had been friends with Fang Tianfeng a long time ago felt that their faces were bright.
Ning Youlan took Fang Tianfeng to sit together, handed him a word, and said: "These are the four words given to you by Secretary Yao. Wait for them to be rubbed and made into a plaque to hang on the door."
"Which Secretary Yao?" Fang Tianfeng asked.
"The current Chairman of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference." Ning Youlan looked like she was talking to you in vain.
The second floor is more than 100 square meters, with six tables set up. The room is very quiet, and everyone can hear the conversation between these two people.
The officials and most of the businessmen all looked respectful, and no one dared to interrupt.
"Oh, thank Secretary Yao for me. When you leave, bring him two arowanas." Fang Tianfeng said.
"Yeah." Ning Youlan drank tea calmly.
Fang Tianfeng had only heard of Secretary Yao, but didn't know much about it. Seeing that Ning Youlan and others didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask.
He Changxiong took out a red envelope and threw it to Fang Tianfeng and said, "This belongs to my eldest brother, don't dislike it."
Everyone stared at Fang Tianfeng with wide eyes. The elders of the He family were already very powerful. Even the eldest son of the He family and the deputy governor He gave red envelopes, which showed that Fang Tianfeng's status was even more extraordinary.
Fang Tianfeng opened the red envelope and said, "Just two hundred yuan? He is too stingy."
"It would be nice to get some! He said that I will get two hundred as a gift when I get married. If you open a small fish shop, you will get the same treatment as when I got married. Go ahead and have fun." He Changxiong said.
The He family underestimated this scene.
Everyone was speechless, thinking that Fang Tianfeng is too bold. The gift given to you by a deputy governor is too small, but the young and old of the He family think it is nothing. How deep is Master Fang's relationship with the He family?
After chatting for a while, Fang Tianfeng stood up and said with a smile: "There are guests coming down below. I will greet them. You can sit wherever you like."
Fang Tianfeng said, gave Meng Decai a look, and then went downstairs with Secretary Yao's signature.
Meng Decai then followed downstairs.
Walking downstairs, Fang Tianfeng asked: "Old Meng, who is Secretary Yao?"
Meng Decai smiled helplessly and said: "I don't know how you managed to get away with it. Secretary Yao gave you calligraphy and paintings, and you still don't know who he is. Although he is not from Yunhai, he is the son-in-law of a certain old deputy governor of Yunhai.
It’s the flag of the Yunhai Local Gang.”
"Oh, I heard that Ning Youlan is supported by a high-ranking official in the province, right?" Fang Tianfeng asked.
"Yes, this is it. Because he has been the deputy secretary of the Dongjiang Provincial Party Committee for nine years. He is a deeply entrenched No. 3 figure in Dongjiang and can influence the officialdom of Dongjiang Province to a great extent. Therefore, even if he is now the chairman of the CPPCC.
, retreated to the second line, and everyone still calls him Old Secretary."
"I know that retiring to the second line means that when some officials reach a certain age, they can no longer hold positions of real power. They can only retire to some second-line departments for retirement, and wait for a while before completely retiring." Fang Tianfeng said.
"That's pretty much what it means. There's a lot of talk in it. For example, Secretary Yao is the deputy secretary and is at the deputy provincial level, but when he becomes the chairman of the CPPCC, he has no real power. As the level goes up and he becomes a full province, his salary will be higher after retirement.
." Meng Decai said.
Fang Tianfeng opened the calligraphy and painting, and the words Shenlong Fishing Ground jumped out on the paper. After a closer look, he felt keenly that there was an unusual aura in this calligraphy and painting, which was very close to official aura. However, he had not yet reached the third level of Tianyun Jue, so he could not see it.
