Chapter 188 Liu Shanyong
Chapter 188 Liu Shanyong
"Director Lin," An Rusong bowed and greeted him, and then asked, "How is Shanxi doing recently?"
Lin Zhengchu turned his head and looked around, seemingly unwilling to answer the question, but after hesitating for two seconds, he finally said, "She went to Busan and had some things to do."
"Oh," An Rushong nodded and stopped talking.
He really disliked Director Lin. As for why, he probably couldn't explain it himself. If he had to find a reason, it would probably be that he had a bad impression of him. Although impressions are very emotional, they have a huge impact on people.
Lin Zhengchu was also a taciturn person. Since An Rushong stopped talking, he was even more silent.
The two walked one after the other in silence for a while. When they were about to reach the corner of the corridor, Lin Zhengchu suddenly stopped, knocked twice on the door on the left side of the corridor, then nodded to An Rushong, turned around and walked back the way he came.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, the door that was originally closed was opened from the inside, and a young man wearing a black suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and looking gentle and refined, appeared in the door.
Seeing An Rusong standing outside the door, the young man bowed and said respectfully, "Excuse me, are you President An?"
"I am An Rushong," An Rushong said, bowing in return.
"Ah, President An, please come in," after hearing his answer, the young man quickly took a step back and made room for the door.
An Rushong walked in, passed through the entrance hall, and entered the living room inside the house.
At this time, in addition to the young man who opened the door for him, there were two other people in the living room. One of them was the obese Nan Xuyu, and the other was a young man wearing a brown suit and was slightly overweight.
He is indeed a young man. Judging from his appearance, he is no more than thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. He has a square face with ordinary features. The only thing that makes people feel impressive is the two deep and long nasolabial lines. It is because of these two nasolabial lines that the young man gives people the impression that he is sharp and difficult to get along with.
"Rushong, come here, let me introduce you," Nan Xuyu spoke first when he saw An Rushong walk into the entrance.
As he said this, the young man who was originally sitting on the sofa stood up first. He walked towards An Rusong and said with a smile, "Haha, Director Nan, no need to introduce me. Chairman An Rusong is the founder of the recently famous NGN company. I have heard of him a long time ago."
As he spoke, he had already walked close to An Rushong and took the initiative to extend his hand towards An Rushong.
An Rushong hurriedly shook hands with the other party and bowed slightly.
"Chairman An, I'm Liu Shanyong," the young man said, holding An Rusong's hands with both hands, "I'm currently working in the district office of Enping District."
An Rushong suddenly realized that the last time he met with Councilman Kong, the other party mentioned Liu Shanyong's name and said that this guy was Councilman Liu's son and the only one of Councilman Liu's sons to enter politics. From the degree of importance that Councilman Kong attached to Liu Shanyong, it can be seen that this second-generation official is most likely to inherit his father's political legacy.
Political legacy may sound mysterious, but it is real and can even be said to be substantial. Apart from anything else, compared to an ordinary person, Liu Shanyong's development in the political arena would have saved him at least 20 years of struggle.
"Hello, District Chief Liu," An Rushong hurriedly bowed to the other party.
"Haha, don't use honorifics, and don't say anything about District Chief Liu," Liu Shanyong held his hand tightly and laughed loudly, "Just call me Brother Shanyong, and I'll call you Rusong, how about that? Anyway, we are not outsiders, there is no need to be so formal in addressing each other."
"Brother Shanyong," An Rushong readily changed his address.
To be honest, An Rusong didn't care about the mayor of Enping District. In China, would a billionaire in a certain city be afraid of the mayor of a certain district in another city? This was obviously impossible.
But then again, Liu Shanyong, the district director, is not just a simple district director. He also has a father who is a member of the National Assembly. Moreover, his father is a senior conservative leader and a staunch ally of Councillor Kong. "Brother Rusong," Liu Shanyong seemed very enthusiastic. He let go of An Rusong's hand, patted him on the shoulder, then pulled his arm to the sofa and said, "Director Nan, please lend me your place so that I can have a good talk with Brother Rusong. Is that okay?"
When Liu Shanyong stood up just now, Nan Xuyu also stood up. After hearing the other party's request, he smiled, said nothing, and turned and walked towards the entrance.
"Come on, Brother Rusong, sit down, let's sit down and talk." After Nan Xuyu left, Liu Shanyong turned around and greeted An Rusong, "What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"
"A cup of tea," An Rushong said with a smile.
"Wait a moment," Liu Shanyong made an OK gesture to him, then walked to the small bar next to him and poured a cup of tea for An Rushong.
"Thank you," An Rushong hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude as he watched the other party put the teacup in front of him.
"Have a seat, don't be so polite," Liu Shanyong held his shoulders, then sat down on a sofa next to him and said, "Rusong, we just met, so you don't know me very well. I'm not like those old guys who think they are superior and take everything for granted. I'm a person who knows how to be grateful, likes to make friends, and can make friends."
An Rushong nodded repeatedly. He believed what the other party said, because this should be the character that the other party worked hard to establish. But then again, character is character, and temperament is temperament, and the two cannot be confused.
What Liu Shanyong said just now was correct. Because the two of them were not familiar with each other yet, what he showed was his "personality". Only when they were familiar with each other in the future, would he show his "character" to An Rushong.
"Rusong is a young talent, just like your NGN company, which is one of the current social hot spots, at least, one of the hot spots in the economic world," Liu Shanyong continued, "For a young politician like me, it is very useful to bring you along to establish my own political image. Well, to put it bluntly, I need to get you to stand on the platform. If you stand on the platform for me, I can prove to the people in the constituency that I can make real achievements in promoting economic development in the district and introducing high-tech economic drivers."
An Rushong pretended to listen carefully, responded to the other party's words, and nodded from time to time.
However, what he was thinking in his heart was that the second-generation official in front of him was very direct in his words. He did not hide anything at all and stated the main purpose of this meeting straight away.
From this point, we can also see that this guy's enthusiasm, kindness, and even the personality he has created are completely false. This guy's temperament is actually no different from those "old guys" he mentioned. This guy is also the kind of person who thinks he is superior and takes everything for granted.
Look at what this guy is doing now. He is indeed very enthusiastic towards An Rushong, but besides being enthusiastic, he asks An Rushong to support him without any reservation and directly. Obviously, in this guy's view, since he is so approachable, An Rushong should accept his request and support him obediently, as if all this is reasonable.
Well, in fact, for An Rusong now, he doesn't mind standing up for Liu Shanyong. Anyway, his political stance has been temporarily tied to the conservatives, so within this political faction, it doesn't matter who he stands up for. The most important thing is that he is backed by the political combination of Councillors Kong and Liu, so it is reasonable to provide political benefits to Councillor Liu's son.
The reason why Liu Shanyong acted so naturally was probably because he considered it from this perspective.
In fact, An Rushong is now in an absolutely weak position when facing any political force, just like Liu Shanyong. Even if the other party does not have a father as powerful as Councillor Liu, he is just an ordinary district director. When the two sides have conflicts and confrontations, An Rushong can do nothing about him. He is just a businessman, a businessman with a small family fortune. More importantly, he still needs the protection from Councillor Kong.
However, An Rushong was not in a hurry. It had only been a short time since he was reborn, but he had already grown to this level. It was not that he could not find the direction of development, he just simply needed more time.
"Brother Shanyong, you know, I'm just a businessman and I don't know anything about politics," An Rusong said with a smile in a calm state of mind. "So, I don't really understand what you're saying. How about this, just tell me directly what you need me to do."
"Haha, Rusong, you really are..." Liu Shanyong was obviously very satisfied with An Rusong's statement. He laughed and patted An Rusong on the arm. Then he said, "Well, since we are not outsiders, I will speak frankly."
He straightened his suit and said, "Rusong, there are two things you need to do for me. The first one is about your data center. I hope you can build it in Enping District. To be more precise, I hope you can move not only the data center but the entire NGN company to Enping District."
An Rushong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the other party waving his hand.
"I know Rusong's difficulties," Liu Shanyong continued. "Although my brother has never started his own company, he also knows some basic business rules. I know that after accepting the investment from DFJ and Apple, Rusong will not be able to make a final decision on any financial issues. However, Rusong can convey the conditions offered by Enping District to the representatives of DFJ and Apple. I believe they will be interested in this."
