A tabloid's critical article only made Wang Jinsheng feel disgusted, and it did not pose any threat to him. It is no secret that the Shating Power Plant postponed the bidding, and it is also a professional need for people to chase after the wind and make some comments. Aren't the columnists in this kind of media relying on sensationalism to cheat their manuscripts?

What Wang Jinsheng did not expect was that the next day, four or five more small newspapers published comments on the incident. Some tabloids have a small circulation or are limited to a certain area, and officials of the Dingnan Planning Commission do not see or know whether they have published similar articles. These newspaper reviews are similar to the previous ones, but they are much more informative, with both factual and hearsay.

For example, there is an article claiming that "a certain southern province" deliberately excluded domestic enterprises from winning the bid because an official surnamed Wang of the Provincial Planning Commission, who was in charge of the bidding, had colluded with foreign manufacturers and wanted to send his daughter to study abroad. This news made Wang Jinsheng's face turn purple with anger, what kind of official surnamed Wang, there are several officials surnamed Wang in the National Development Planning Commission system, didn't this point at him Wang Jinsheng's nose and splash dirty water? The question is, is it good for his daughter to be in the first year of junior high school this year, and she will go abroad to study a fart?

"Lao Wang, what's going on over there, why are so many newspapers stabbing this matter, Senior Officer Liu has seen it, and asked the secretary to call and ask today. ”

Tan Guoliang, director of the Provincial Planning Commission, who was far away in Dongyuan City, Dingnan Province, made a phone call to the Beijing Office in Beijing and asked Wang Jinsheng to verify the original circumstances of the matter.

"I don't know!" Wang Jinsheng was in a hurry, and he was even more crazy when he heard this. When the news in the newspaper was seen by the provincial leaders, the nature of the matter was different. Although the provincial leaders knew about the bidding documents, and the Provincial Planning Commission had already reported to the provincial leaders, they did not know if the leaders would believe the nonsense in these tabloids and really mistakenly think that Wang Jinsheng had any personal calculations in them?

"Director, I suspect that this matter was caused by Longshan Electric Factory, and they deliberately created public opinion in order to force us to revise the bidding documents, just to put pressure on us. Wang Jinsheng said.

Tan Guoliang said: "There is such a possibility, but, Lao Wang, I saw an analysis in the newspaper that the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Finance have a great opinion on us, you went to talk to them, what do you feel?"

"My feeling ......" Wang Jinsheng hesitated for a moment, and had the intention to say that the other party was just bluffing and had no substantive requirements. If he was too optimistic, wouldn't he have blocked his way if something happened in the middle? Thinking of this, he changed his tone and said, "The situation is not easy to say. The Ministry of Finance said that it hoped that we could take into account the overall situation and that it would be better to revise the bidding conditions, but it did not say anything. The State Party Committee was talking to us here, but his attitude was a bit tough and a little incomprehensible. ”

"Could it really be that a leader has spoken?"

"Well...... It's hard to say, maybe ......."

"Lao Wang, you know more about it, don't let our work be limited to passivity. These small newspapers don't have to worry too much, and I'll ask the office to contact these newspapers tomorrow and ask them to take back these false reports. Tan Guoliang said.

But it's too late, and the clamor in the tabloids will inevitably enter the field of vision of the big tabloids. Early the next morning, reporters from the Dingnan Provincial Planning Commission in Dongyuan and the Dingnan Office in Beijing came to ask for verification, and the units on the press cards they took out became more and more bullish than the other, and Tan Guoliang and Wang Jinsheng even had the heart to cry.

"The installed capacity specification of 360,000 kilowatts has been determined a long time ago, and has nothing to do with the domestic production situation, as for the domestic thermal power units that happen to be unable to provide 360,000 kilowatts, this is just an accidental ......"

"Of course, we have studied thermal power equipment, well, I mean, we are not particularly professional in this area, we are only the economic coordination department, and we don't really understand the specific technical indicators......"

"It's just a general technical requirement, and it's been reviewed by World Bank officials!"

"This is completely slanderous, and I can guarantee with my party spirit that there is absolutely no intention of colluding with foreign businessmen and rejecting domestic equipment!"

As the saying goes, in order to cover up one lie, you have to make up ten lies. If it is really a tabloid reporter who made it up, they can clarify it as long as they come up with the facts. The problem is that what people say is not false, and Dingnan Province has indeed engaged in some famous halls that cannot be put on the stage, so how can they explain it?

In the end, the province could only ask the Propaganda Department to come out and coordinate, greet the newspapers separately, raise the matter of the Shating Power Plant to a political level related to the excellent situation of Dingnan's reform and opening up, and ask the newspapers to keep their mouths shut. The tabloids are different from the tabloids, the tabloids survive by sensationalism, and the more the official does not allow them to say, the more interested they are, and the more they want to poke it. And the big newspapers are disciplined, well, in fact, it should be called propaganda discipline, after some things rise to the political level, the big newspapers should be cautious and not just talk nonsense.

The fact that these newspapers cannot talk nonsense to the public does not prevent these newspapers from reporting to their superiors in the form of internal references. The current international situation is very complicated, and the central leaders have repeatedly stressed that in the course of reform and opening up, they should pay attention to strengthening their own strength, and should not blindly hope for help from abroad.

The big newspapers have settled, and several tabloids that have jumped relatively high have also received hush orders, or hush money, saying that they will not continue to hype. In fact, they only paid attention to this matter before when they took a commission from an agency called Chenyu Business Information Company. The commission given by the people is a one-time payment, and the tabloid publishes an article, even if the goods are closed, as for the Dingnan Province to use the money to seal the mouth, it is a windfall, and everyone will make a fortune quietly.

The turmoil in the media gradually subsided, but then some rumors spread that a certain leader at the top, or even a certain leader, was very dissatisfied with the affairs of the Shating Power Plant and gave instructions and demanded punishment. I don't know where this rumor came from, Tan Guoliang asked people to track it down, everyone said that they heard from the neighbor's second son and his father-in-law's unit Lao Wang, and this Lao Wang also heard such news from a strange and outrageous source. Thinking of the previous beating by the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Finance, Tan Guoliang and Wang Jinsheng both felt that this matter might really have a bit of a shadow.

"Director, what do you think should be done about this?" Wang Jinsheng, who was sitting in the capital, called Tan Guoliang for instructions.

Tan Guoliang said: "There's no way, now we are ready to fly, so we can only hold on." Hasn't the State Development Planning Commission directly asked us to revise the demands? This shows that the determination of the people above is not so great. The Kemper project is a key focus of the province, and even if we offend the State Planning Commission, we have to get this done. ”

"But now that it's rumored outside, will there really be a leader who speaks?"

"The province has not yet received such a spirit, it is just some gossip, which is not enough to rely on. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll go back to the State Planning Commission tomorrow to find out what they have to say. ”

"Okay, you have to be more observant, don't fight with them again......"

Putting down the phone, Tan Guoliang let out a long breath and lightly pounded his forehead with his fist, trying to relieve his nervousness. Now, he really can't retreat, otherwise he will be beaten by chickens and eggs, leaving a bad impression on his superiors, and the Kemper project will fail. In the past two days, he has consulted with the leaders of the province and discussed with his staff, and has come to the conclusion that the upper echelons must have opinions on this matter, but out of consideration for local interests, they did not directly intervene, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the local government. Of course, local governments also need to know that they have committed a taboo and need to make up for it in other ways in the future.

Such a result was also foreseen by the Dingnan Planning Commission a long time ago, but it did not expect that the impact would be so great. Originally, it was only intended to offend the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Finance, but now it seems that the higher levels also have opinions, and this is a relatively failed operation.

"Director, Mr. Zhu of Orchid Real Estate is here, do you see her?"

The secretary cautiously walked into the office and reported to Tan Guoliang.

"Mr. Zhu is here, please, please!" Tan Guoliang immediately sat up straight and said in a loud voice. This Mr. Zhu is not an ordinary person, her name is Zhu Julan, and the Lanyuan Real Estate Company under her command is also well-known in China. At present, Dingnan Province is developing a large-scale commercial real estate project, with a total investment of more than 10 billion yuan, and Lanyuan Real Estate is the main force. The Kemper project is only one of the things that Tan Guoliang is concerned about, and the importance of this large-scale real estate project is far above the Kemper project, how can Tan Guoliang snub this Mr. Zhu.

Zhu Julan came in under the guidance of the secretary, Tan Guoliang hurriedly greeted her, shook hands with her warmly, and beckoned her to sit down on the sofa, while she sat on another sofa next to her. After the guests and hosts sat down, they naturally greeted each other with some greetings without oil and salt, and greeted each other's men and women, and then Zhu Julan entered the topic:

"Director Tan, I came here this time because I heard a rumor that the state may stop the Wulitan project, is that the case?"

The Wulitan project is the name of the large-scale commercial project that Dingnan Province is going to develop, Tan Guoliang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "No, where did Zhu always hear about it, why don't I know anything about it?"

Zhu Julan looked at Tan Guoliang's face seriously, as if judging whether Tan Guoliang was telling the truth or a lie. She hesitated for a moment and said: "Some of my friends are spreading this matter, Dehai and Yimei are ready to withdraw their investment, and they are worried that the project will be stopped, and everyone will be trapped." ”
