Rebirth of the Rising Sun

The oil provided by the Aqid Consortium is much cheaper than the oil purchased by the state, while the quality is the same. This is equivalent to a supermarket purchasing goods at a much lower price than others. In this way, when it sells things, it means that the profit margin is much larger. Just on this point, I wonder how much profit the Capital Province government will make from it. Therefore, they can use the money they earn to do more things for the people of Capital Province. Why not?

"Director Fu, the country always says, and the National Development and Reform Commission always emphasizes, that the country has to subsidize a lot of money every year for the issue of oil imports. Now our Ducheng Province no longer needs this quota, so doesn't that mean it indirectly saves the country a lot of money? This should be a good thing, and you should support it. Why do you say no? To be honest, I really can't understand it."

"I'm telling you, Director Fu. Our Ducheng Province is just cooperating with the Aqid Consortium to buy oil from there. Although our purchase prices are different, the selling prices are still the same. In other words, we haven't violated any relevant regulations. Why is this not okay?"

"As far as I know, there are people who specialize in oil swindling in the coastal areas. They sell cheap oil from other places to our people at the same price and make a certain profit from it. Even the country cannot completely prohibit such things, so why do you say that we can't sell it at the same price? In short, you must give me an explanation for this matter, a reason that can convince me."

Feng Sizhe asked several questions in succession, and the first question was so convincing that Fu En was speechless.

The country always tells the outside world that the price of oil is in line with international standards and is already very low. The country even provides subsidies every year for this. It has really said this.

It is also true that the oil sold by Metropolitan Province is the same as the country's unified price. At least on the surface, there is nothing wrong with it, and they have not launched an industry-wide boycott.

Also, what Feng Sizhe said about there being people who specialize in oil pounding does exist. For example, on the border between Guangdong Province and Hong Kong, some people buy oil from Hong Kong at extremely low prices and then return to the mainland to sell it. Many people have indeed made a fortune from this.

Under Feng Sizhe's questioning, every word was true, Fu En suddenly felt that he was at a loss for words. He didn't even know what to say.

Seeing that Fu En didn't know what to say, Feng Sizhe laughed and said, "Okay, I hope Director Fu can slowly digest what I just said. I think we should stop here today. When Director Fu has made up his mind, we can talk about it together."

After saying these words, Feng Sizhe stood up, and without waiting for Fu En to say anything, he stood up and left. In fact, Fu En really didn't know what to say at this moment, because he was already confused by Master Feng's questions.

Feng Sizhe's performance in the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission was soon reported through private channels.

When the news reached the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, and then passed to Qin Xianghua through Ren Tianfang's ears, General Secretary Qin stopped talking for a while, because he had already felt vaguely that Feng Sizhe seemed to be determined to stay in Kyoto for a longer time this time. Did he really want to get involved in the affairs of the Hou and Zuo families? He didn't know that this matter was not a joke. If he didn't handle it well, he would get into trouble. What was he thinking?

Ren Tianfang looked at Qin Xianghua for a long time without saying anything, and then asked in a low voice, "Chief, what should we do next? The comrades from the Ministry of Finance and the Development and Reform Commission are still waiting for us to make a decision for them?"

"Wait for us to make the decision? Then what work should they do and what are they supposed to do? Tell them to study these problems carefully and find appropriate solutions." Qin Xianghua hated these leaders a little. They couldn't even solve such a small matter, yet they still expected him to make decisions. He really didn't know if their abilities were as strong as they said.

Ren Tianfang felt that Qin Xianghua seemed a little angry, so he nodded repeatedly and walked out, then conveyed the leader's latest instructions.

Faced with Qin Xianghua's opinion, Lu Guoliang and Fu En were both speechless. They had no choice but to ask for instructions from the Lu family and the Hou family behind them respectively.

After this request, both families realized a problem. The reason why Qin Xianghua did this was that he did not want Feng Sizhe to continue to have a legitimate reason to stay in Kyoto. In other words, he did not want Feng Sizhe to get involved in the struggle between the Hou family and the Zuo family.

At the Hou family, Hou Zhennan stood in front of Mr. Hou very respectfully and said, "Dad, Comrade Qin Xianghua is very optimistic about Feng Sizhe."

Mr. Hou didn't say anything. He couldn't express his opinion. Even though he had the same feeling, he couldn't say it out loud because it would shake people's hearts.

After he abdicated, the Hou family did not develop well for a period of time, and even suffered from staff loss. It seemed that some people felt that the Hou family would gradually decline after he stepped down, so some people switched to other camps.

Although Hou Zhennan performed well, he was only the secretary of a province and a member of the Political Bureau. His main power was in Guangdong. It was not until the news came that Hou Weidong, the third generation of the Hou family, might be the future successor that the situation of the Hou family improved.

Knowing that the Hou family is likely to make a comeback, some people with ulterior motives began to maintain close relations with the Hou family. And now, suddenly Qin Xianghua attaches so much importance to Feng Sizhe, a young cadre, how can this not surprise the old Hou?

Could it be that Qin Xianghua had a second plan in mind? If so, the future of the Hou family would be truly worrying.

Although he thought of all this, as the pillar of the Hou family, Mr. Hou could not say these things out loud, because he knew too well how great a shock these words would cause once they were spoken, especially for the Hou family, the blow would be too great.

Suddenly, Mr. Hou couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in his heart, that is, he could not underestimate Feng Sizhe anymore. This boy seemed to be a stumbling block for the future development of the Hou family. However, although he knew this was the case, he could not do anything about it.

"Tell Fu En to try his best to meet the requirements." Mr. Hou suddenly made such a decision, and after he finished speaking, his brows were still deeply frowned.

It has been at least five years since Mr. Hou made any decision personally. This is the time Hou Zhennan can remember. Now seeing his father made such a decision, although he was a little puzzled, he did not dare to refute, "Okay, I will call Fu En right away."

"Yeah." Old Hou didn't want to dwell on Feng Sizhe's matter, because this was not what his Hou family should do at the moment. When doing any work, there must be priorities. The founding great man, Taizu, once said that when looking at a problem, one must grasp the main contradiction. As long as the main contradiction is resolved, all problems will be easy to solve.

"Also, please arrange something. I want to meet Comrade Xiang Hua." In the end, Mr. Hou decided to talk directly with Qin Xianghua about the issue of Min Lianfa.

Previously, Mr. Hou had not made this decision because he wanted to see if his son and grandson could use the Hou family as a big tree to do this thing well. But now it seems that their work results have disappointed him. If they had settled this matter long ago, Feng Sizhe would not have suddenly jumped out to take advantage of it.

When Hou Zhennan heard that his father was going to talk to Qin Xianghua in person, he showed excitement on his face. He knew that if his father had been willing to speak up earlier, the matter would have been resolved long ago. "Okay, I'll call the General Office of the Central Committee right away."

Old Hou didn't say anything. In fact, there was nothing to say. The development of the situation was not satisfactory, at least not to his satisfaction. He wanted to train his son and grandson, but Feng Sizhe jumped out and messed up everything. He felt that if he didn't take action, he didn't know what this person would do. Even now, his Hou family defeated the Zuo family, but in reality, Feng Sizhe would not get too little benefit from this struggle. At least he had a share of the victory.

It is precisely because of this that Mr. Hou became more certain of his plan to let Min Lianfa settle in the capital province, because only in this way would he have a backup plan to curb Feng Sizhe's development. This struggle is like a war, and one should not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. For this reason, he made such a decision, even if it could be regarded as fulfilling Feng Sizhe's wish.

A person who even Qin Xianghua has to pay attention to is definitely a talent, and that is also the reason why Mr. Hou has to pay attention to him.

Of course, as a veteran in playing zz, he knew better how to cooperate with Qin Xianghua and make him happy, and thus helped the Hou family achieve certain results in the matter.

Not long after the Hou family made this decision, several people in the upper echelons of the Lu family who had the final say also came to the same conclusion.

Lu Guofan, the eldest son of the Lu family, was once a contemporary of the Hou elders and Hou Qishou, but he was not as powerful as the Hou family at that time.

Fortunately, the Lu family is indeed prosperous in this generation. Unlike the Hou family, which only has Hou Zhennan, the Lu family does have three brothers: Lu Guozhi, Lu Guodong, and Lu Guoliang.

The second son, Lu Guozhi, is the minister of an important department, the Ministry of Railways.

Not to mention the third brother, Lu Guodong, who is a member of the Standing Committee of the zz Bureau and the Secretary of the z Discipline Inspection Commission. It can be said that he has reached a considerable height.

The fourth son, Lu Guoliang, was also a child of destiny. He was the minister of the powerful Ministry of Finance.

It is based on such a relationship that the Lu family has grown stronger and stronger over the years.
