With a happy mood, Yuan Fangguo and his girlfriend boarded the flight to Beijing.
The main reason for his trip to Beijing this time was to look at real estate. After all, his second brother's story about a square meter of housing costing around 4,000 yuan and a courtyard house costing only a few hundred thousand yuan was full of mystery to him. If he could acquire a few properties in Beijing right now, in ten years or so, it would definitely be a huge fortune.
Money is no longer an important reason restricting Yuan Fangguo's consumption; a suitable house is an important factor restricting his reasonable consumption.
Some people say that in Beijing, a brick can hit a section-level cadre. Yuan Fangguo didn't believe it at first, but after getting on the plane, he suddenly believed it.
Therefore, a man sitting next to him claimed to be the director of a large department under a certain department of the State Council. This man called himself Wang Kuanglin, and his ancestors were also royal nobles with pigtails.
The main reason why he and Yuan Fangguo started talking was because of the thick handbag in Yuan Fangguo's hand.
The handbag contained cash, totaling more than 200,000 yuan.
"Brother, are we from Beijing?" Wang Kuanglin spoke with an authentic Beijing hutong accent.
Yuan Fangguo shook his head, "No, I'm from Bashu."
"Oh, looking at your posture and temperament, I actually thought you were from Beijing." Wang Kuanglin said seriously.
"Brother, judging from your posture and temperament, you must be from Beijing, right?" Yuan Fangguo asked back.
Wang Kuanglin nodded. "Your eyes are sharp and energetic. Unlike some people who always think I'm an out-of-town official, my ancestors were actually from Beijing. It's just that my father went to the countryside as an educated youth during the Cultural Revolution and never came back. Thanks to my grandmother's powerful family, my grandfather couldn't return to Beijing, but he managed to get me my Beijing household registration. I grew up next to the Summer Palace."
When Yuan Fangguo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. To be able to grow up near the Summer Palace, this person must have been a very high-ranking official. So when he heard this guy talking nonsense and not telling the truth, he felt that he was a liar.
"I didn't realize your family is so powerful, brother." Yuan Fangguo said seriously, "I heard that anyone who can live near the Summer Palace must be at least a ministerial-level official."
Wang Kuanglin nodded with a look of superiority, and couldn't help but give Yuan Fangguo a thumbs-up. "You can tell at a glance that this young man has seen the world. To live near the Summer Palace, one must be a ministerial-level official in the local area, and a general in the army. My godfather is a general. He has no children and treats me as his own. Otherwise, with my ancestors in the Zhenghuang Banner and my father being a deputy-department-level official, I really wouldn't be able to spend my childhood near the Summer Palace. Are you going to Beijing on business this time, or are you going on a solo trip?"
"Business." Yuan Fangguo said seriously. He really didn't notice that Wang Kuanglin had set his eyes on his briefcase, and he was 100% sure that the briefcase contained not papers, but documents.
"If you need anything, feel free to come to me. In Beijing, there is basically nothing I can't handle." Wang Kuanglin said as he took out a business card.
Yuan Fangguo frowned. He was very disgusted with Wang Kuanglin's poor acting skills, but because of the other person's enthusiasm, he didn't want to expose him.
"By the way, after you arrive in Beijing, it's best to contact your local Beijing office. They actually have some social resources." To Yuan Fangguo's surprise, Wang Kuanglin took the initiative to remind him.
In the 1950s, each provincial government had a Beijing office in Beijing, but it did not last long. During the Cultural Revolution, all provincial offices in Beijing were abolished. It was not until the reform and opening up that they were gradually restored.
In 1994, China implemented a tax-sharing system. This gave the central government, and especially its ministries, considerable flexibility in the management and approval of fiscal transfer payments. To secure more resources, some local governments established liaison offices in Beijing. According to incomplete statistics, 100 prefecture-level cities and above, and 90% of county-level administrative regions in China, have liaison offices in Beijing.
"Yes, I think so too." Yuan Fangguo nodded calmly.
Wang Kuanglin said: "However, the Beijing Office is not omnipotent. Only when a city develops well, its Beijing Office will have more resources in Beijing. For example, Shantou belongs to the five special economic zones. Although its administrative level is only a prefecture-level city, the resources of your Chengdu in Beijing are sometimes really not as good as Shantou, because its economic development is good..." Wang Kuanglin spoke a lot again.
After listening to this, Yuan Fangguo felt that he really admired the scammers of this era. Although they were scammers, they still had some basic knowledge and literacy, and they could fool you so much that you couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
The times are progressing, and as a result, the scammers' methods are becoming more and more despicable. Therefore, most of the scammers in the 1990s were educated scammers. At least these scammers really love to learn.
Wang Kuanglin was a liar after all, so he exchanged a lot of pleasantries with Yuan Fangguo, boasting about his own awesomeness, and then began to inquire about why Yuan Fangguo was on business in Beijing this time.
Yuan Fangguo was also annoyed by him and told him directly that he was ordered to go to Beijing to investigate a case.
When Wang Kuanglin heard this, he immediately thought of the briefcase in Yuan Fangguo's hand. The thick stack of RMB in it had nothing to do with his trip to Beijing to investigate the case.
