1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 293 I'll take you to see an acquaintance

As one of the five separately planned cities in Shandong, although Qingdao had not yet been upgraded to a sub-provincial city, it was already one of the fifteen economic center cities in the country and one of the first batch of coastal open cities.

Therefore, under the strong suggestion of Miss Mu, Yang Mo chose Qingdao as the first stop for site selection and investigation.

The reason is also very convincing.

In addition to its locational advantages, Qingdao is not only the city with the most complete allocation of commercial resources in Qilu at that time, but also the city with the best comprehensive public security conditions... Like Jinan's traffic police that were once popular all over the country, Qingdao's "five lines of defense" in public security was once a model for learning from other places.

The last point, in particular, is extremely convincing at the moment.

Although Yang Mo's last visit to Qingdao was after the millennium in his previous life, and he has no idea what the real effect of the "Five Lines of Defense" was in the early 1990s, you have to admit that this joint defense mechanism, which is very similar to the famous "Chaoyang Masses" in later generations, can logically make people feel more at ease.

........................

Diagonally opposite the pier, Zhongshan Road.

Yang Mo and Miss Mu walked out of a towering building that was painted dark gray and looked somewhat like a warship, and then boarded a rusty red Santana.

Yang Mo, who tightened his collar due to the somewhat chilly weather in Qingdao, stared through the car window at the warship building in front of him and the staircase-shaped building next to it, and sighed with some emotion.

The gray warship building was formerly the island nation’s navy headquarters in Qingdao. After 1945, it became the headquarters of the American Navy’s Western Pacific Fleet. After the establishment of New China, it became an office building of Qingdao’s local competent authority...The staircase-shaped building next to it is the Jiao Customs bonded warehouse.

It can be said that these two majestic buildings with a strong sense of history, like the pier, were once one of Qingdao’s most recognizable landmarks.

But at that time, probably no one knew that just three years later, these two buildings would be razed to the ground.

The reason is actually quite surprising...

In order to develop the economy, attract foreign investment, develop real estate and the tertiary industry, the local authorities in Qingdao took the initiative to propose a plan to relocate government agencies to the east, and also took the initiative to sell the city-level office building located in a prime location.

Although Yang Mo does not agree with using such a historical landmark to make a fuss or express an attitude, you have to admit that this incident did cause a big stir at the time;

In that turbulent era, it did give foreign investors a reassurance, and successfully allowed Qingdao to reap huge dividends of the times in the second wave of reform and opening up, and ultimately stand out.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo looked at the briefcase beside him.

The briefcase was bulging with documents containing Qingdao's industrial overview last year, various preferential policies, the location of convertible industrial land, and the industrial and commercial tax status of some industries.

Normally, these materials cannot be given to outsiders, but Miss Mu has the certification documents issued by the Qilu Petroleum Administration, and Dongying has also sent a formal letter of connection early on... The reason is also very legitimate. An asset management company with more than 1 billion in funds and an asset scale of more than 2 billion must first understand the actual local situation before deciding whether to move in.

But even though the groundwork had been laid early on, the attitude shown by Qingdao left a deep impression on him.

You must know that central enterprises and local authorities are two systems. Even if Yang Mo and others decide to settle in Qingdao, the additional tertiary industry projects may contribute part of the tax revenue to the local land tax bureau, but as the bulk of the tax, the taxes paid by the newly established asset management company have nothing to do with Qingdao.

But even so, the leaders and staff in charge of the liaison still responded with enthusiasm and efficiency, and sent over all the information they wanted to know in just two and a half hours.

Don't think that two and a half hours is a long time. You have to know that this is not the Internet age. As long as you have the authority, you can retrieve any information from the intranet database. You have to coordinate with various departments by phone, and then rely on people to copy the paper materials and then send them over... What's more, there is more than one office building of Qingdao's competent authority, and the information that Yang Mo and others need to know spans multiple functional departments. Therefore, being able to retrieve this information in two and a half hours is already an extremely admirable efficiency at the moment.

At least,

It is obvious that there was no shirking of responsibility among the various departments during this process... This is very rare.

Not only that, the leader in charge of the liaison even patiently gave a detailed explanation for a full forty minutes in front of the two of them on some newly introduced policies and those flexible policies that might cause misunderstandings. He seemed to be completely unaware that this asset management company that might move in and had not yet been officially listed was a central enterprise, and it was basically unlikely that they would be able to get the benefits directly.

Although it is not known whether the negotiation was so smooth this time because of the letter sent by Dongying or because of the timing, it must be said...from a businessman's perspective, the attitude shown by the Qingdao authorities made Yang Mo very happy, and even some prejudices against Blue Bird in later generations were weakened a lot.

………………

"Hey, Yang Mo, stop looking, it's bad for your eyes!"

Seeing Yang Mo in the car, he took out the materials and stared at them. Miss Mu gave him an instruction with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Ever since the paper between the two of them was torn, Miss Mu's attitude towards Yang Mo became increasingly different, and she even gradually started to act a bit like a housekeeper.

Yang Mo said without even raising his head: "Sister, stop making trouble. There is less than half a month left until the Spring Festival. We have to settle everything before the New Year... Time is short and the task is heavy. We have to race against time!"

The business environment inspection at the municipal level is completely different from the business environment inspection at the county level. Not only does it require more complete information, but the factors to be considered are also more microscopic.

Let’s not talk about anything else. For industrial land alone, each district has different policies and actual situations. There are details such as compensation, scope of use, floor area ratio, utilization index, surrounding supporting facilities, post-supply supervision, etc. If any link is not considered properly, it will mean endless trouble and passivity.

This is just the most basic land use link. There are more details in other links such as industry and commerce, labor, taxation, industrial planning policies, party-mass relations, local worker-peasant relations, etc.

If Yang Mo and others just came here to open a factory, it would be fine. After all, the contradiction in industrial land use is not obvious now, and various policies are very flexible, which is far less troublesome than in the future... But the problem is that Yang Mo and others are going to list an asset management company, and an asset management company that wants to invest in and manage hundreds of tertiary industry projects. Dongying has 41 tertiary industry projects left in Qingdao alone. With so many projects mixed together, there are many system-detailed considerations that need to be integrated.

This is just Qingdao, what about Dezhou? What about Jinan?

Therefore, even though he was reborn, less than half a month was still too tight for Yang Mo to describe.

When Mu Liya heard this, she rolled her eyes and thought to herself, what were you doing earlier? If you had come out a few days earlier, would you have been in such a hurry?

I looked at him with some doubt: "But shouldn't you pay more attention to the industrial structure and actual situation in Qingdao? At the very least, you should understand the operating status of the 41 tertiary industry projects that the headquarters has retained in Qingdao. Why are you staring at the newly issued policy documents... Didn't they explain it to us very clearly just now? I don't think they have any intention of hiding anything!"

Looking at the slender jade finger pointing at the document titled "Several Opinions on Improving the Support Work for Import and Export Trade in QD City"...

Yang Mo: “…”

Miss Mu: “???”

Yang Mo: "Well... Actually, I don't really understand Qingdao dialect, and the leader's accent was too strong."

Miss Mu: "...You don't understand Qingdao dialect very well?"

Yang Mo looked a little embarrassed: "Yes."

Miss Mu: "So... I just explained it to you for half an hour, but you didn't listen to a word?"

Yang Mo touched his nose and said, "I didn't miss a single word... I could barely understand two or three sentences out of ten... The leader's accent was too heavy, and he spoke too fast."

Miss Mu frowned: "As a Qilu person, you can't understand Qingdao dialect... Do you think this is appropriate?"

Yang Mo was a little frustrated: "It's really not very suitable... But there is no way, I really can't understand it... I don't have such a hard time understanding Henan dialect, Hebei dialect, or even Southwest dialect!"

Miss Mu opened her eyes wide, as if trying to figure out whether this guy was joking with her.

After staring at Yang Mo for ten seconds, he realized that this animal didn't seem to be lying to him, then he suddenly chuckled: "Okay, okay, it's okay, I can understand Qingdao dialect... I remembered everything that the leader said just now. If you have any questions about policies, just ask me, there's no need to spend time studying the documents."

As soon as she said this, Miss Mu felt a lot more relaxed.

It has to be said that in the past year, this beast Yang Mo has given her great psychological pressure at work. Facing a freak who shouldn't belong to this era at all, the always somewhat conceited Miss Mu always feels that she is useless in front of Yang Mo.

This kind of pressure did not seem to be relieved even after the two of them broke the paper... Public is public, private is private. Not to mention that they have not officially become a couple, even if they are married, in Miss Mu's eyes, she is just a woman who is useless in front of her own man except for her looks and family background.

This was difficult for Miss Mu to accept emotionally. Although it was a traditional Chinese concept that the husband should sing and the wife should follow, and a woman was not willing to find a man who was weaker than herself, but everything had to be done in moderation... At the very least, she had to be able to really help Yang Mo when he needed it. Miss Mu did not want to be a vase.

But unfortunately, this bastard Yang Mo had been too strong and self-reliant in work in the past year. Apart from helping him with some small, not-so-important favours in the beginning, he had never spoken a word since then. Instead, he had to ask Yang Mo for help with a lot of things.

This situation became more and more obvious as Yang Mo's capital gradually increased... Especially in the past two months, she even felt that she was becoming more and more dispensable. She had no say in many things, or she dared not intervene casually, otherwise she might ruin Yang Mo's plan without knowing it.

This made her feel helpless and extremely aggrieved.

But there's nothing to be done. This bastard is just a thousand-year-old fox in human skin. At such a young age, he has started to get involved with her father in things that are not suitable for people of this age.

A game of this level is really not something that a normal person like her can play... Not to mention playing it, it's even difficult to understand it.

Now, he could finally turn the situation around and really help Yang Mo... Although it wasn't a truly irreplaceable help, it was enough to make her happy for a while.

Here~
It is said that young ladies like Mu Liya are born with the potential to fall in love. Once the relationship changes, their mentality will be very different.

In the past, the aloof Miss Mu would not be happy about such a small matter.

………………

Seeing Yang Mo put the document back into his briefcase awkwardly, and then turned his head to admire the scenery outside the car window as if nothing had happened, Miss Mu's mood became even better.

Humph, you bastard actually get humiliated sometimes!

It seemed that what happened just now opened a door for her. Miss Mu thought about it and suddenly said with a smile: "I think that what you learn from books is always shallow. If you want to investigate a city, just looking at those data and documents will always be a bit rigid and may not be so real... What do you think?"

What you learn from books is always superficial?
Yang Mo looked at her warily.

Hey, hey, hey, you're not trying to persuade me to accompany you to wander around the city and have a date for personal gain, are you?

Ok……

Probably.

After all, he had never seriously pursued her since the two of them broke the window paper, so in resentment, he wanted to spend an entire afternoon in this city that was far more prosperous than Linyi County and Dezhou, and it was possible that his legs would be completely worn out.

But you have to understand, it’s not that I don’t want to pursue you or date you, but I really don’t have time!

I didn’t have time a few days ago, and I have even less time today!

Don’t you see this briefcase full of information that needs to be studied?

As a reborn person, I know nothing about Qingdao before the millennium.

Seeing Yang Mo's face as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Miss Mu, who guessed what he was thinking, was filled with hatred.

Does it seem like I can't tell priorities from that?

After secretly glancing at the driver in front and finding that he was not observing the situation behind through the rearview mirror, Miss Mu gave Yang Mo a small punch, then proudly raised her swan neck: "What I mean is that these data should be viewed in light of the actual situation... I think that while looking at these data, we should also find someone who is more familiar with the situation in Qingdao to understand the situation, and compare them to listen and watch, so that the analysis and evaluation we get will not be biased!"

Yang Mo stroked the small fist dent on his woolen coat and looked at her in surprise: "You mean... there is someone you trust here?"

It is not easy to truly understand the current situation of Qingdao in a relatively macro way;

It is not difficult to find people who are familiar with Qingdao. At least, it is not difficult to find someone who has lived in Qingdao for decades... But these people's vision is often only within a three-kilometer radius of themselves. Not only do they often not pay attention to the policy trends at the top, but their knowledge level is also not enough to deconstruct the macro structure of this city.

Although there are few people who have this knowledge and can deconstruct the macro structure and direction of this city to a certain extent, there are some people who have this vision. At least among the heads of the tertiary industry project office in Dongying, there must be a few people who have this vision... But the problem is that there are many capable and smart people in central enterprises, but judging from the current situation of Dongying's tertiary industry projects that have been losing money year after year for more than a decade, there are really not many people who can be trusted in this regard. Or maybe they only have vision, but they may not know the actual situation in Qingdao very well.

Therefore, with these two factors combined, Yang Mo first ruled out the idea of ​​finding someone to inquire about the situation... Even if he wanted to find someone to understand the situation, that would be after he had figured out the information himself.

Although according to his approach, it is very likely that his analysis of the situation in Qingdao will not be very objective due to preconceived ideas; but he is more afraid of being led astray by some ulterior motives from the very beginning.

He understands the destructive power of "prejudice", and Miss Mu also understands it.

Therefore, when Miss Mu suddenly mentioned this matter, there was only one possibility... This acquaintance not only had the vision and ability to meet the requirements, but Miss Mu also trusted him very much.

This is strange. In Yang Mo's impression, this arrogant young lady seems to have difficulty looking down on others, let alone trusting anyone.

Seeing Yang Mo's surprised expression, Miss Mu felt her teeth itching again, and immediately threw another small punch: "What's that look in your eyes? You still have a few bad friends, but I can't have a few good ones I can trust..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped.

Looking at Miss Mu with a blush on her face, Yang Mo slowly opened his clenched fist as if nothing had happened. He clenched the ten fingers of his right hand, and gently stroked them with his left hand.

Ok……

I don’t know how this young lady maintains her skin. It’s winter now, but the skin on her hands shows no signs of dryness and feels smooth and tender.

Wow, it's like a boneless jelly pig's trotter, cool and bouncy.

"Good what? Good friends?" Yang Mo blinked, looking innocent as if he didn't know he was taking advantage of someone.

Her whole body felt limp after being touched by those thief's hands. After pulling hard a few times without success, Miss Mu glanced at the driver who never moved his eyes away, and could only quietly move her bag to the left, helplessly allowing that beast to take advantage of her.

jerk!

You haven't even caught up with me yet, but you're touching my hand in the car without any care. If you really catch me, won't you have me all over in a few days?

Miss Mu, who felt herself getting weaker and weaker, was sadly aware that even if this beast wanted to push her down, she would only resist symbolically.

Mustering her last bit of strength, Miss Mu sat up straight and glared at Yang Mo angrily: "She is a good sister...a good sister who grew up in the same courtyard. Before I was transferred to Drilling Company 1, she was sent to Qingdao to assist in the management of the tertiary industry project!"

As she spoke, Miss Mu, whose face was becoming increasingly red, raised her voice as if warning: "Master, please turn around and go to No. 17 Guangxi Road... It's next to the Qilu Road Mining Company!"

Obviously, Miss Mu's sudden increase in volume did not scare the shameless guy.

They are sisters...

I guess you won't get much useful information even if you go there.

It's not that Yang Mo has any prejudice against women, but you have to admit that due to differences in active brain areas, women's deconstruction ability at the macro level is indeed not comparable to that of men; therefore, just knowing some micro-level situations is indeed not very meaningful.

Sighing in disappointment, Yang Mo playfully scratched the palm of one of her jade hands a few times, treating it as a punishment for wasting his time.

He trembled with gratitude at the itch in his palm that seemed to reach deep into his heart. He tried to pull his hand away, but it didn't move at all.

Miss Mu almost cried.

Asshole, don't do this...
