The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

You'd better say it.

The black carp is indeed very delicious, and the cooking skills of the nanny Aunt Wang are not to be underestimated.

For this lunch, Lin Ming didn't eat anything else, just these two black carps.

Zhou Wennian is the typical one who likes fishing but not eating.

He kept smiling and watching Lin Ming wolfing down the food, while he only ate some vegetables.

As for the seafood that Lin Ming brought, he didn't let Aunt Wang cook it, and joked that he would save it for himself in the evening.

It was around 12 o'clock.

Two black carps weighing about 3 jin, only the fish head and fish bones were left.

Zhou Wennian drank a little white wine, and Lin Ming drank two glasses.

"You little guy, you can drink a lot, I guess your father can drink a lot too? Compared with you, Zhou Chong is really a world away." Zhou Wennian said.

"It's okay, but my dad can drink a lot." Lin Ming put down his chopsticks.

"Okay, let me tell you something serious."

Zhou Wennian said: "Xiang Weidong has been transferred to the imperial capital. You know about this, right?"

"Yes." Lin Ming responded.

"I heard that he is now in charge of the financial sector. With his age and the favor from the higher-ups, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Zhou Wennian looked at Lin Ming: "Build a good relationship with Xiang Weidong, don't break this line. With your current development trend, you will definitely have to deal with such big shots, and there will be many places where you can use him in the future."

In the past, Zhou Wennian would definitely not tell Lin Ming so bluntly.

From the conversation, it can be seen that he really likes Lin Ming.

"Grandpa, I know." Lin Ming nodded honestly.

"You little guy, you look honest on the surface, but you are actually very smart in your heart. It is completely redundant for me to tell you all this." Zhou Wennian leaned back.

"Don't, old man!"

Lin Ming said hurriedly: "I will not only rely on Mr. Xiang in the future. Phoenix Group is an enterprise in Blue Island City after all. You and Uncle Zhou are my strongest backing!"

Zhou Wennian looked at Lin Ming for a while.

Smiling: "What do you want to say?"

Lin Ming's face twitched, and he said speechlessly: "It's really boring. Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I have heard a lot of flattery, so I don't need your flattery!" Zhou Wennian snorted.

"Hehe..."

Lin Ming blinked: "Grandpa, don't just talk about Mr. Xiang. I guess the transfer order from the province will soon fall into Uncle Zhou's hands, right?"

"It's already here." Zhou Wennian said.

"It's here?"

Lin Ming widened his eyes: "What aspect?"

This is a very straightforward question, which also made Zhou Wennian frown.

But in the end, Zhou Wennian still said: "Go to land management first, and then we will see how we will perform in the future."

"That's great!"

Lin Ming clapped his hands fiercely, which scared Zhou Wennian.

"Why are you so noisy? Can't you just say it nicely?" Zhou Wennian said dissatisfiedly.

Lin Ming didn't care: "Grandpa, Phoenix Pharmaceuticals is planning to get land in Linzi to build a production industrial park. Can you help talk to Uncle Zhou and ask him to open a back door?"

Hearing this.

Zhou Wennian was stunned!

Zhou Mingli just reported to the provincial land management, and Lin Ming was going to get land in Linzi?

The key is to get land for the production industrial park, not for building a community!

One is industrial land, and the other is commercial land.

For the officials, it is naturally good.

But for those who are in urgent need of political achievements, the former is undoubtedly the most suitable!

Because the biggest benefit of industrial land is that it can bring the most direct economic growth to the local area!

Considering that Lin Ming had never evaded taxes since he founded the Phoenix Group, and even refused the preferential policies given by the government.

It can be said that he did not take advantage of the country at all!

How could such a person let Zhou Mingli open a back door for him?

Doesn't he know that Zhou Mingli, who has just taken office, is the least likely to use a back door?

"Why do I feel that every word you say is like a trap, waiting for me, an old man, to get in?"

Zhou Wennian stared at Lin Ming: "I would like to listen carefully, is it Mingli who opened a back door for you, or you who opened a back door for Mingli?"

Lin Ming was embarrassed, picked up the plate with fish and drank a mouthful of soup.

Zhou Wennian could think of these, and Lin Ming had naturally expected it long ago.

Putting aside the ability to predict the future.

In terms of scheming alone, a hundred Lin Mings may not be able to catch up with Zhou Wennian.

"Well... they complement each other!"

Lin Ming explained: "I just want to get the land, and Uncle Zhou is in charge of this, so why not?"

"Preferential policies? Tax reduction? Reduction of land acquisition funds? Or other aspects?” Zhou Wennian said directly.

Lin Ming felt a pressure coming at him. This former frontier official still had some influence.

“I don’t want anything, I just want it to be quick.”

Lin Ming spoke quickly: “Grandpa, you don’t know, during this period, there are special cold medicines and special foot creams. The Internet is almost scolding me and Chen Jia to death. Every day, they say that I am hungry marketing, supplying goods to foreign countries but not to domestic markets, and I am also a person who worships foreign countries and fawns on foreigners.”

“God is my witness, I, Lin Ming, am loyal to our country!”

“The only thing I can do is to speed up production and try my best to meet the public’s demand for special medicines, so as not to be scolded to the point of shortening my life…”

At this point, Lin Ming suddenly felt a little insecure.

Because Zhou Wennian completely ignored his long speech, just watching him quietly.

In the end, Lin Ming was a little scared by being looked at.

“Okay, I will tell Mingli about this matter, and he will remember your favor. "Zhou Wennian suddenly said.

No need to thank you too much, the word "favor" is enough!

"What favors? If I really want to talk about favors, I probably owe you more, right?" Lin Ming shook his head.

"This matter is over, let's talk about the next thing."

Zhou Wennian waved his hand and said: "Kehua Steel suddenly collapsed, Zou Zhaohua's family was all imprisoned, and Phoenix Capital acquired more than 90% of Kehua Steel's shares at lightning speed. You did this behind the scenes, right?"

"Hmm..."

Lin Ming touched his nose: "How should I put it? It was Zou Zhenyi who forced me to do it. Grandpa, you won't scold me again, right?"

"Why scold you? I can't even praise you enough!"

Zhou Wennian snorted: "Social parasites like Zou Zhaohua and Zou Zhenyi who are rich and unkind and abuse their power, whoever has the ability to eliminate them, that is the hero of our country! "

"If they are still allowed to go unpunished, who knows how many ordinary people will suffer!"

Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandpa is wise!"

He was really worried that Zhou Wennian would scold him again because of his not-so-honest means.

But Zhou Wennian said: "I have been observing you for a week, and the shares of Kehua Steel are still in your hands. Don't you know that the largest shareholder of a listed company with a total capital of more than 400 million can hold at most 90% of the shares?"
