Chen Xing didn't give a long speech on stage. After a short speech, he walked down the stage. As soon as he got off the stage, he was immediately surrounded by the crowd. Han Weiwei was all smiles as she invited Chen Xing to the main table to take a seat. Everyone else also took their seats.
Those who could sit at the main table were the top entrepreneurs in the Chamber of Commerce. Han Weiwei's seat was next to Chen Xing's.
Chen Xing couldn't help but look to the side when he smelled the fragrance. Outside the hotel, he didn't get a good look at Han Weiwei because of the lighting. Now, looking from the side, Chen Xing couldn't help but be amazed. Han Weiwei looked to be around 40 years old, but she took good care of her skin. At such a close distance, Han Weiwei's skin was no worse than those young women in their twenties.
Come, let's all give a toast to Mayor Chen. Han Weiwei smiled as she raised her wine glass and said loudly.
With Han Weiwei taking the lead, everyone stood up and gave a toast to Chen Xing.
After a round of toasting, the atmosphere at the table became lively. Someone noticed that Chen Xing's demeanor was very casual and he didn't put on any airs at all. Moreover, there was always a smile on his face. Before I met Mayor Chen, I thought that Mayor Chen wouldn't smile much. Now that I've met him, I know that preconceived notions can really kill people. Look at our Mayor Chen, he's obviously a good mayor who loves his people like his own children.
The person who spoke had an exaggerated expression. He didn't care that others knew that he was purposely flattering Chen Xing. The smile on his face was brighter than a chrysanthemum.
When Chen Xing heard the person's words, his face couldn't help but twitch. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything. This flatterer was really not reserved at all.
Mayor Chen, now that the international economic environment is not good, our domestic economy is also facing growth difficulties. The economic growth of many places has declined, and Jiangcheng is no exception, especially the property market, which has been affected the most. The slump in the property market has brought many industries into a downturn. I don't know if Mayor Chen will adopt any new policies to stimulate the recovery of the local property market after you take office. At this moment, another man at the table suddenly asked. He was a local real estate businessman. Although he had other investments, most of his wealth was invested in the real estate industry. The current grim situation of the real estate industry had put him in a difficult situation.
Chen Xing glanced at him. He vaguely remembered that his name was Shi Jianqi. Han Weiwei had just introduced him to him, so he still had an impression. When he heard his words, Chen Xing smiled. Director Shi, is the property market in a downturn now? Why didn't I feel it?
Shi Jianqi was originally looking at Chen Xing with sparkling eyes, looking forward to Chen Xing's answer. When he heard Chen Xing's answer, Shi Jianqi's face couldn't help but stiffen. He glanced at Chen Xing. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't seem to be joking, Shi Jianqi smiled bitterly and said, "Mayor Chen is really an interesting person."
"It's hard to say whether I'm an interesting person or not, but I really want to hear from Director Shi about the current downturn in the property market." Chen Xing looked at Shi Jianqi and said with a smile.
Mayor Chen, you should know that many real estate developers can't sell their houses now. Although Jiang City is a provincial capital, the situation is not optimistic. In the past two years, the investment in the real estate industry in Jiang City has decreased compared to the previous two years. This reflects the economic growth of Jiang City for two years in a row. I believe Mayor Chen, you should also know that if this continues for a long time, the city's economy will be greatly affected. Now there are many real estate developers in the city who can't sell their houses. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid many real estate developers will go bankrupt. Shi Jianqi said.
Is that so? Chen Xing raised his eyebrows. I wonder if Director Shi and Director Yang would like to hear my opinion?
Of course, we would like to hear Mayor Chen's opinion. Han Weiwei interrupted with a smile.
Okay, then I will also speak the truth, but what I said only represents my personal opinion. Chen Xing glanced at the crowd. As far as I know, the average price of a house in Jiangcheng is 15,000 yuan per square meter, and the average salary in Jiangcheng is only about 3,000 yuan. A person has to save up for a down payment for a house for several years without eating or drinking. Based on the current housing prices and salary levels, I think it's normal for real estate developers to be unable to sell their houses. Why? Since you all know that the economy is in a slump, then I would like to ask, the income of the people can't keep up with the speed of rising prices, and the housing prices are so high. How do you expect people who can't afford to buy houses? Instead of expecting the city to come up with policies to stimulate the property market, why don't you lower the housing prices and let the people benefit?
Chen Xing said a lot in one breath. Seeing that everyone was a little stunned, he smiled indifferently. Okay, everyone eat first, I'm going to the toilet.
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he stood up and headed for the restroom, leaving the table of people staring at each other. Han Weiwei, who was standing at the side, stared at Chen Xing's back thoughtfully. The smile on her face was rather playful. This new mayor seemed to be showing off his talents.
When Chen Xing was socializing in an ordinary restaurant in Jiangcheng, Wu Gang raised his hand to look at the time from time to time. He had invited Zeng Jing for dinner that night, and even his wife Xiang Yunping came with him. She was sitting next to him.
Wu Gang, don't always look at your watch. Look at how anxious you are. Don't you think about it, Zeng Jing is so busy with work now, and sometimes people deliberately make things difficult for him? It's normal for him to come late. Xiang Yunping looked at her husband, shook her head and smiled.
Alas, I'm just anxious. I don't know if Zeng Jing knows about Chen Xing. I can't be the only one kept in the dark, right? Wu Gang smiled bitterly. If his wife hadn't called him in the afternoon, he wouldn't have known that Chen Xing had become the mayor of Jiangcheng. Now, he was ostracized in his unit, and there were people suppressing him from above. Because his career was hopeless, he paid less attention to the affairs of the city, so he didn't even know that the new mayor was Chen Xing. If his wife hadn't called him, maybe he still wouldn't have known.
After knowing that Chen Xing was the new mayor, Wu Gang's first reaction was to call Chen Xing. In the end, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and didn't call Chen Xing. It was not until that moment that Wu Gang suddenly realized why Chen Bin called him out of the blue in the morning. Obviously, Chen Bin, who was doing better than him now, was more well-informed than him. However, as the old saying goes, a dog can't change its spots. Chen Bin was still so snobbish and realistic. After knowing that Wu Gang didn't know that Chen Xing was the new mayor, Chen Bin didn't tell him and directly hung up the phone.
As for Chen Bin's thoughts, Wu Gang could guess more or less. He sneered in his heart. This time, Chen Bin was going to make a mistake again. He didn't know that Wu Gang and Chen Xing had been keeping in touch.
However, after calming down, Wu Gang was a little nervous. After all, Chen Xing had a good relationship with him. Chen Xing was going to be the mayor of Jiangcheng, but Chen Xing didn't tell him in advance. Could it be that Chen Xing didn't care about his old classmate from the Party School after he became rich?
