Excellent little farmer

Luo Zongwu, the general manager of Jiayuan Group, is a gentle middle-aged man. Even he has difficulty speaking Hong Kong-style Mandarin, which is not standard.

"It seems that Mr. Luo doesn't understand our mainland and our mainland's policies."

I laughed loudly, waved my hand and said, "We Communists do not believe in superstition, but we do understand and respect the traditions passed down through history. This is the same as our Communists' opposition to superstition and promotion of superstition." Scientific attitude, no contradiction.”

"Society is realistic and complex. China has a population of more than one billion and shows a trend of diversity. We have different perceptions of the real world. We can understand that as long as this does not harm the safety and health of others and does not affect society. Stability and development, we can all understand.

As for Feng Shui, there are believers in the general public, and we will not interfere. As long as it does not violate legal provisions, this is not a problem. This is my personal understanding of the government's policies in this regard. "

Luo Zongwu was quite satisfied with my personable performance. He had always had some doubts about cooperating with mainland local governments in this regard. In his opinion, the Communists seemed to be harsh and arrogant. It was rude, but as a cadre of the Communist Party who was only 28 years old, it was refreshing to him. Especially the other party's friendly and amiable attitude and speech that emphasized both reason and reason left a deep impression on Luo Zongwu.

"Mayor Ye, what do you think of Feng Shui?"

Luo Zongwu did not give up, stared at me and asked: "I can see that Mayor Ye's understanding of this aspect is not as simple as reading a few books. I am very curious, Mayor Ye, what do you know about this aspect?" manner."

"Haha! Mr. Luo is such a thoughtful person. To tell you the truth, there was a Taoist temple next to my home when I was a child. The abbot of the Taoist temple even accepted me as a disciple. I also learned various miscellaneous subjects from my master. It’s just that as I grew older, I went out to study, and my knowledge became wider and wider. Later, I became a national cadre, so I must have dabbled in this aspect.

Mr. Luo asked me about my attitude in this regard, and I can tell you frankly that I have a good-natured understanding and respect for Feng Shui, but I don’t believe it myself, and neither do real Communists. , let alone advocate this theory.

However, we also admit that in the real society, many of our ordinary people, especially the elderly, do believe in these. The government does not interfere with these. China is a society ruled by law. As long as their actions are within the scope of the law, everything will be done. It's not a problem. "

"Oh! So the government can also cooperate with us to develop this Feng Shui land?" Luo Zongwu asked with a smile.

"Well! Mr. Luo, to be precise, this is a cooperative development of a high-end cemetery with an elegant environment. As for other opinions, they are just folk opinions. Citizens and social organizations have freedom of speech, as do enterprises. The government No comment." I just smiled and cleverly avoided answering directly.

Luo Zongwu and his boss Song Jiaping's eyes met and they laughed knowingly.

Song Jiaping has been observing my performance. Ever since a friend from Hutchison Whampoa Group introduced me to Huaiqing to inspect this geomantic treasure, he has been very impressed with Mayor Ye, who can barely be regarded as a mid- to high-level cadre of the Communist Party. Full of interest, when the other party accompanied them to inspect Canglong Valley, he showed such knowledge and understanding of Feng Shui that he couldn't believe that he was the deputy mayor of a mainland local government.

From the dragon scale air cave on the mountain known as the dragon's waist, to the special significance of Pudu Temple and Miaoyue Temple behind the dragon's head and the tiger's head, from the nourishment of the entire Canglong Valley ground line by the winding Hun River water, to the dragon The aura of dragon, pan, and tiger created by the confrontation between the head and the tiger all shows that Mayor Ye has a deep understanding of this industry. Even in Hong Kong, Mayor Ye can definitely serve as a model. A decent Feng Shui master, which had to make Song Jiaping have a strong interest in me.

Facing Luo Zongwu's somewhat provocative inquiry, the calm, rational, pragmatic attitude and exquisite wisdom I showed made Song Jiaping even more optimistic about the young deputy mayor. If Jiayuan Group really planned to When Huaiqing and the Huaiqing Municipal Government cooperate to develop this so-called top resting place for Chinese people in the world, it is necessary to have a collaborator who can communicate harmoniously with each other.

Although Director Duan is also very smart, his level is obviously not enough. As he said himself, key issues must be decided by higher-level leaders, even though he is the legal representative of the Civil Affairs Bureau in charge of the funeral industry.

The atmosphere of this meal was always harmonious. After carefully understanding Huaiqing's attitude and thoughts on building this Canglongyu Cemetery, Song Jiaping and Luo Zongwu entered into a relatively in-depth dialogue with me, and I elaborated The historical origin and cultural heritage of Huaiqing City have contributed to the creation of this top-notch cemetery.

At the same time, it also expresses quite cleverly that this cemetery should be built as a resting place for famous people with certain influence, and strives to make the influence of this cemetery the first choice for all famous Chinese people around the world to rest.

Song Jiaping and Luo Zongwu were both shocked and inspired by my unabashed expression of such intention.

In addition to Song Jiaping himself, a well-known Feng Shui expert in Hong Kong, they were also accompanied by the Royal Feng Shui Master of the Jiayuan Group and two other Feng Shui professionals specially hired by the Jiayuan Group. The conclusions reached during the investigation were surprisingly consistent. , that is, this Canglong Valley does have extremely rare dragons, pans, and tigers in the ground, and what is even more rare is that it is a living cave that never ends, which means that the resting person rests here. The well-being of future generations has unexpected benefits.

With such a superior Feng Shui atmosphere, and Huaiqing being such a famous historical city with considerable popularity in the history of China, Jiayuan Group is naturally full of strong interest.

What they are most worried about is the attitude of the local government towards the creation of Feng Shui treasure land. If the local government only holds the idea of ​​​​selling the land, grab a handful and leave, coupled with the mainland's strict attitude towards this aspect, if it restricts the Due to the publicity and hype in this area, it would be difficult for the cooperation to succeed, but the perfect combination of principle and flexibility I showed made them very excited. If this project can be managed by someone as smart as me from beginning to end Jiayuan Group is quite optimistic about flexible leaders presiding over it.

Duan Qiyan was simply amazed by Mayor Ye's performance.

When accompanying him on field visits and inspections, he was like a Feng Shui sorcerer, talking with flying colors and beaming with joy. However, in formal negotiation situations, he was able to send and receive with ease, and he had just the right sense of proportion, especially when it came to the other party's doubtful statements. Question, it is even more wonderful to not comment on a folk saying.

It not only left unlimited space for the other party to operate, but also clearly stated the government's attitude. Ouyang Ji'an had to admit that it was no accident that Mayor Ye could sit in the position of executive deputy mayor at such an age.

Ouyang Ji'an has been in an extremely excited state since he came out of the Sheraton Hotel.

He could see that the visitors from Hong Kong had a very good attitude towards me, and they frequently mentioned Mr. Li, who must be my friend, and both of these guests seemed to trust Mr. Li quite a bit, which meant that As a friend of Mr. Li, they also have a high degree of recognition for me.

My car was a newly purchased Buick New Century. It turned out that the old Accord was handed over to Tong Jiang, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and director of the municipal government office. The city government bought six vehicles at one time. Except for Mayor He Zhaocheng, Kong Jingyuan and I both had one.

Originally, we were only sure to buy four cars, one each for the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, the Mayor, the Director of the National People's Congress, and the Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. However, seeing that the debt settlement work was very successful, Chen Yinglu ordered two more cars. In addition to me, Tan Lifeng, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, also has one. This also caused quite a shock half a month ago, but it allowed me to see Chen Yinglu's great courage in this regard.

I have always admired the Buick New Century, which just rolled off the production line in December last year. It has a heavy chassis, spacious space, and looks quite impressive. However, the fuel consumption is relatively high, but it is quite consistent with the status of an official car. In terms of displacement, For officials who don't have enough control and level to use the Audi A6, the Buick New Century is still quite attractive.

I did not bring a driver, but drove by myself. Duan Qiyan asked his Santana 2000-era Superman to follow behind my car, but he ran into my car and sat in it.

"What, old Duan, what do you think?" I noticed that Duan Qiyan was a little excited, probably shocked by the momentum of the visitors from Hong Kong.

"Mayor Ye, is this boss Song really that grand? He invested hundreds of millions of yuan to build Canglong Valley. I think this is incredible." Duan Qiyan said in disbelief.
