Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 815 - Secret

"Brother Feng, will you be able to help meafter I am posted to the Southeast?" This was the purpose why Master Lu invitedFeng Yu for dinner. He needs Feng Yu to help him get political credits.

Why did all the Officials Secondgenerations get promoted so fast? When they are posted to the gra.s.sroots level,they have brought along their connections and investments. They can get peopleto help them get credits. Of course, another reason is no one dares to s.n.a.t.c.hthe credits from them or cover-up.

These second-generations had learned fromtheir elders on how to be an official since young. But there are still a lot ofthem failing at the gra.s.sroots level.

Master Lu will be posted to the Southeast,and he will be bringing some projects and investments with him. But he stillfeels his preparation is not enough. Those projects and investments are onlyenough for him to be promoted to Deputy Mayor within 5 years. He felt this wastoo slow.

These Second-generation are very proud andthink highly of themselves. They feel they are about to take on a higherposition and does not want to be promoted slowly.

"Master Lu, which part of the Southeastwill you be posted to?"

"Fujian Province, Putian county. I am goingto be No. 1 there." Master Lu had a proud look on his face as he said this. Itwas rare for someone at his age to be holding this position.

"Congratulations." Feng Yu raised hisbrows. Fujian? That's the headquarters of Nanfu Battery.

Feng Yu had been eyeing Nanfu Battery for along time. In his previous life, the company was taken over by foreigninvestors. This company was formerly a state-owned enterprise, and it ended upin the hands of foreigners.

Of course, this was also because ofpolitics. The company had listened to the local government to bring in foreigninvestors. When the Nanfu Battery merged with foreign investors, the companydoes not lack any funds. Even if they wanted to expand their operations, thebanks are all willing to offer loans. But the local government wanted toattract foreign investments and forced Nanfu Battery to sell their shares. Inthe end, Morgan Stanley acquired the company's shares from other shareholdersand sells them to Nanfu Battery's compet.i.tor.

Since Master Lu is going to FujianProvince, Feng Yu was determined to acquire Nanfu Battery. It's better for thiscompany to be owned by him than to fall into the hands of those foreigners.

First, Feng Yu have to push Master Lu up.Master Lu must be at least the Deputy of Fujian Province for him to have somesay. If he remains in Putian County, he will not be able to help with theacquisition."

"Master Lu, I will get Bing City MachineryCompany to set up a motorcycle factory in Putian."

Fujian's location is in the center of 3provinces. Setting up a factory there can serve the nearby regions. That wasone of the locations planned by the Machinery Company to set up their newbranch factories.

Master Lu was overjoyed. "Is it SongjiangMotorcycles? Thank you, Brother Feng. You are a great help."

Master Lu thought for a while and asked."Brother Feng, you are only going to set up a motorcycle factory? What aboutSongjiang cars? Can you set up a branch factory there?"

"Master Lu, automobile factory requires.h.i.+gh investment. Money is not a problem. But the automobile market in China isjust starting and lacks demand. FAW is holding on to the biggest market sharein the southeast region. We are still slowly trying to increase our marketshare. But the market has limitations. How long do you plan to stay in Fujian?If you are going to stay there for more than 10 years, I will build a branchfactory there, even if I have to lose money for the next 3 to 5 years!" Feng Yusaid.

Feng Yu knew these second generations will betransferred to and fro the gra.s.sroots level to get their promotions. Master Lu,had reached the rank of division chief in the ministries. He will then beposted to the gra.s.sroots level and after he got his Deputy Bureau Directorrank, he will be reposted back to the departments. The next time he is postedto the gra.s.sroots level, he will be the Bureau Director level.

Other people have to move up the ranksslowly. These second-generations have lots of ways to get promoted, and theirpromotions are much faster than others.

"Brother Feng, motorcycle factory is goodenough." Master Lu laughed embarra.s.sedly. He does not dare to make anypromises. If there is a vacancy in the higher-ups, he will try his best to get.i.t.

Only the ones who are a step ahead ofothers will get to the top 9 positions!

"Master Lu, as your good friend, I need toremind you. Firstly, you are someone who does not lack money. You must neverpocket any money."

"Of course. Although you gave me someshares in the past and I had transferred it to my brother-in-law. But if I needmoney, he will give it to me."

"Secondly, indulging in l.u.s.t is likehanging a knife upon your head. You have fooled around for so many years, andyou are married now. It's time for you to tone down. I can understand if youplay around occasionally. But never put in your real feelings and never doanything that will harm your family."

"I know about this. I am the one wh.o.r.equested this transfer. I also want to have a career. I had stopped foolingaround." Master Lu replied.

"Thirdly, I know you well. You like to makefriends and stand up for them. This is a good thing. But in the future, this isnot good for you. You have a lot of friends, and there are all sorts of peopleamong them. If you try to help them whenever they are in trouble, you mightalso be implicated."

Master Lu frowned. "You are exaggerating.If I don't help my friends, how will others see me?"

"If it is some minor matters, it is not aproblem. But the problem with you is you never reject any of your friends whenthey come to you for help. You will always give them a second chance regardlessof what they did. But have you ever thought that some mistakes cannot never beforgiven!"

"No one is perfect. Who dares to say theyhave never committed any mistakes in their life? As a friend, I must help them.If I don't extend a helping hand when they are in trouble, how can I still betheir friend?" Master Lu retorted.

Master Lu's character is worthy of being afriend. But his character is not suitable to be in the government.

"Master Lu, don't forget your status. Ifyou want to have a career in the government, these friends will only drag youdown. You can take care of them, but there is a limit. You must put the countrybefore anything else!"

"I know about this. Of course, I will placethe country before anything else. I am also a Party member." Master Lu laughed.

Feng Yu said in his heart. If you can thinklike this in my previous life, you will not be a failure. Please do not makethe same mistake this time.

"I'm glad you understand. Also, some peopleare not worthy of being friends. When you are in the Southeast, don't mix with verypopular friends. Since ancient times, people like them do not have goodendings."

"Ok. What's wrong with you today? I am onlygoing to work in Fujian. It is not some dangerous place." Master Lu laughed.

Feng Yu sighed and did not continue.

Some things cannot be said. Niu Meng'sfamily and that businessman in the Southeast region will implicate a lot ofpeople in the future.

It's tough to keep these secrets tohimself!
