Chapter Ninety-One: There Are Local Tyrants in the Countryside
Shen Huai looked at Chu Yiliang, who was in the Blanket Factory in the contracting town, with a burly figure, a Chinese face, and a serious attitude that did not smile on his brows.
Shen Huai had heard of Chu Yiliang for a long time, but he had never taken a face-to-face, and he thought that he was running the market, doing sales to make a fortune, and paying attention to tackling the government.
Yu Yiliang shook hands with Shen Huai, only then did he smile a little, put down his posture, and introduced himself: "I am Chu Yiliang from the Blanket Factory in the contracted town, and I used to be a worker in the blanket factory, so I have to count as Secretary Shen's soldiers." Chu Qiang just called me, and he will ask Secretary Shen to take care of him in the future, so I have to come over and thank me in person. ”
"Director Chu is polite, Xiao Chu has education, brains, and fast running, and the asset office needs such a capable manpower. Shen Huai smiled, let Chu Yiliang and Chu Qiang's father and son into the inner office, and asked Guo Quan to help make two cups of tea, and Chu Qiang took it over with his hands and feet.
Chu Yi's conscience was a little surprised, he hadn't met Shen Huai, but Shen Huai's reputation for being strict and difficult to get along with was too famous in Meixi Town during this time.
It's no wonder that the backstage itself is hard enough, young and vigorous, but it is very real, and it can bring Meixi Iron and Steel Plant back to life in such a short period of time, almost breaking everyone's glasses - how can such a young official not be arrogant, how can he not be domineering?
After the listing of the town asset management office, Chu Yiliang knew that he would inevitably have to deal with this deputy secretary Shen, but he had been waiting for a good wedge:
The ribbon-cutting gift of Zhuxi Hotel is one, and it is also one to take the initiative to let his son apply for transfer to the asset office.
Unexpectedly, the gift money given to Zhuxi Hotel was returned this morning, but the matter of his son's transfer to the asset office was promised to Shen Huai at the same time.
Chu Yiliang heard that He Qingshe and Du Jian were not in the town, and wanted to take advantage of his son's job transfer to invite Shen Huai to have a relationship, which was undoubtedly the most suitable opportunity; of course, he also thought that he would meet a cold face, but he didn't think that he would be treated approachably.
After sitting down and talking for a while, Chu Yiliang proposed to invite Shen Huai and Guo Quan to a banquet in the evening.
Originally, when we met for the first time, it was a bit abrupt to mention or promise the banquet. However, Guo Quan and Yu Yiliang have known each other for a long time, Guo Quan's wife is still working in Chu Yiliang's factory, and Chu Qiang will be the clerk of the Assets Office in the future, Shen Huai also agreed to Chu Yiliang's banquet and pulled Hu Xuebin in the outer office.
Walking into the compound, seeing Chu Yiliang inviting them to take the black Nissan car he parked in the government compound, knowing that Chu Yiliang was going to arrange the banquet in the city, he asked Guo Quan: "Is Mayor He at home?"
Chu Yiliang hurriedly answered: "Mayor He is not in the town, I will send a car to pick up ...... later."
Shen Huai didn't care that Chu Yiliang's eyes were a little surprised, the interests involved in townships and towns are themselves narrow, and the struggle for power and profit among township and town cadres is no more serious than that of party and government organs above the county level; and on the other hand, he has Tan Qiping as the backstage, and his status in Meixi Town is transcendent, and there is no need to put a lot of energy into it and intrigue with other people. He Qingshe didn't pose a threat to him, so what he had to do was to maintain the relationship with He Qingshe and work together to do a good job in the town, instead of thinking about how to trample He Qingshe under his feet in every possible way.
If you really want to beware of He Qingshe, Shen Huai will not use He Qingshe's aunt and cousin-in-law Guo Quan as the deputy director of the Assets Office.
Shen Huai threw his Passat car key to Chu Qiang and said, "Don't bother too much, Xiao Chu, you drive my car and go directly to Mayor He's house to have a look......"
In the first few years, the number of private cars in China was still quite limited, and township officials were not allowed to be equipped with full-time drivers in accordance with regulations. In these years, it was also very troublesome to learn to drive and get a driver's license, the town mayor and secretary had to use a car, and the two drivers were not enough at all, so Chu Qiang became a supernumerary driver in the government compound.
Shen Huai agreed to emphasize Chu to the Assets Office, which is equivalent to having an additional full-time driver in the Assets Office, so that Guo Quan can run much more conveniently, and there is no need to compete with other mayors and secretaries for drivers.
Chu Yiliang had a driver, and he could only carry Shen Huai, Guo Quan, and him in one car; Chu Qiang heard him say a place name, and took Hu Xuebin directly to He Qingshe's house to pick up people.
Zhuxi Hotel in Meixi Town is to do boutique catering, but Donghua's high-end banquet is still represented by swallow wing abalone, in Donghua to do swallow wing abalone high-end restaurants, there are only two or three, Chu Yiliang asked the driver to go directly to Huxi Academy.
Huxi Academy, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, is indeed a academy where literati gather in Donghua area, and it is also a cultural relics protection unit in Donghua City. However, the Municipal Bureau of Culture, the Planning Bureau and other institutions are located in the Huxi Secretary, and at the same time, a wooden building in the Ming and Qing dynasties facing the lake in the north is also contracted to private bosses, and it has become a catering club specializing in swallow wing abalone in Donghua City.
Unlike the Cuihualou Banquet Hall in the South Park, the drinks in Huxi Academy are expensive, but they don't pick the identity of the guests.
Chu Yiliang's driver drove very smoothly, probably this is also Chu Yiliang's style, Shen Huai and they took the car to Huxi Shu, Chu Qiang and Hu Xuebin received He Qingshe, and arrived with their front and back feet.
He Qingshe was not annoyed that Chu Yiliang did not pick him up in person, or that this time he just took him with him.
In the past, Chu Yiliang invited people from the town to dinner, but he was at the town reception station, but this time he went to Huxi Academy to invite swallow wing abalone to eat, obviously to save face for Shen Huai.
Where did Hu Xuebin have the opportunity to accompany the leaders in and out of Huxi secretary and Cuihua Building in the past?
He Qingshe was happy when he saw Hu Xuebin like this, and secretly felt that although Shen Huai was only in his twenties, his means of imperial people were really not weak: Hu Xuebin, a person who pressed the low-level, never saw the hope of promotion, and did have some talent in his hands, his personality was strange and strange, if he wanted him to whip and obey the call, he had to give it a handful appropriately......
He Qingshe and Chu Yiliang are also familiar with each other, and when they sit down in the box, He Qingshe and Guo Quan are beside them, and Shen Huai and Chu Yiliang have no chance to be cold, and they talk enthusiastically.
Although Shen Huai met Chu Yiliang for the first time, he was no stranger to him.
Chu Yiliang does have a hand in contracting enterprises, and Du Jian even proposed to appoint Zhu Yiliang as the deputy mayor in charge of industry. Chu Yiliang had no intention of entering the system, so he declined Du Jian's invitation, but sent his son to the town government.
Meixi Town is a township after all, and the pattern is smaller, and there are only a handful of characters who can really be on the stage. In addition to Chu Yiliang, there are a few other people who eat very poorly, and Shen Huai is too lazy to deal with them.
Chu Yiliang will not go straight to the topic at the first banquet, but will talk politely and thank his son for his work transfer. Chu Qiang and the driver are responsible for driving and do not drink; Chu Yiliang's car has two boxes of Wuliangye in the trunk at any time, and he holds a box into the box, opens a bottle first, and shares the cup equally with Shen Huai, He Qingshe, Guo Quan, and Hu Xuebin.
He Qingshe mentioned to Hu Xuebin in the car about raising funds to build a house, and it was a topic at the wine table.
If there is any turmoil in the township, the news will easily spread, and there is no need to keep it secret or anything; if you really want to raise funds to build a house, you must inevitably solicit some sponsorship from bosses like Chu Yiliang.
Since He Qingshe mentioned raising funds to build houses, Shen Huai explained his plan more thoroughly: "The Meixi Bridge and the Xiamei Highway have seriously restricted the development of Meixi Town. Regardless of whether we can be incorporated into Tangzha District next year, we must find our own way to renovate the Meixi Bridge and Xiamei Highway......
He Qingshe nodded, in the past, he only thought that Shen Huai was bragging.
Meixi River to Xiamei Highway section, the water surface is very open, the main bridge plus the approach bridges on both sides, to build a high-grade highway bridge, the earlier design plan, it will be about 10 million. In recent years, the price of building materials and other materials has risen sharply, and the budget will exceed a large load. Coupled with the project budget for the widening of the Xiamei Highway......
Even if it is merged into Tangzha District next year, Tangzha District's finances will also have fixed expenses, and it is impossible to be so rich that it can spend nearly 20 or 30 million yuan to expand roads and build bridges in Meixi Town.
It's just that the Meixi Bridge is not rebuilt, and the restrictions on the development of Meixi Town are too serious.
The Meixi Bridge, built in the sixties, has been full of potholes after 30 years of wind and rain. The key is that the Meixi Bridge was designed to carry very limited capacity in the early days, and it is not that small repairs and repairs can barely be maintained.
Since the steam ferry to Pingjiang City on the south bank of the Zhujiang River is in the southwest corner of Tangzha District, the steel products of the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant have to be transported south to the market in Pingjiang area by the steam ferry, and the Meixi Bridge cannot be taken, but the Meipu Highway Bridge in the north is detoured from the north of the ring city, and it is necessary to detour for an additional 30 kilometers.
Moreover, in the townships adjacent to Donghua City, the main road is still a gravel road, and there is only one family left in Meixi Town.
He Qingshe thought that if Shen Huai could pull a sum of millions of bridge-building funds from the city, and then make up some more at the county and town levels, it would be possible to do the Meixi Bridge and Xiamei Highway almost next year.
The construction of bridges and roads is a major event that really benefits Meixi, and it is just icing on the cake to set aside land on the side of Xiamei Highway to raise funds to build houses......
Chu Yiliang, these individual bosses, all feel that the traffic in Meixi Town is a bottleneck, which also brings them great inconvenience. Even if they knew that they really wanted to build bridges and expand roads, the town would definitely ask them to give some blood, but Chu Yiliang would rather give this blood, which would be beneficial to the future development of the company.
The preliminary work of building bridges and expanding roads has been completed long ago, and even tens of millions of construction funds have been raised in the 90s, just because the city wants to assign Meixi Town to Tangzha District, and the county directly withdraws this fund.
The five people drank three bottles of Wuliangye, and Shen Huai and He Qingshe stopped drinking it.
Yu Yiliang intends to arrange a change of place for entertainment, and Shen Huai naturally will not pull Yu Yiliang to drink flower wine for the first contact, which is too unremarkable.
Incidentally, Yang Haipeng called and said that they had dinner at the Zhuxi Hotel, and took Xiong Dailing and Xiao Li to the time tunnel Di Bar in the city to meet the world, and asked Shen Huai to rush over to meet them.
Shen Huai could guess that it was Xiong Dailing who instigated, he drank a lot of wine, and thought that he would rush home early to rest, and he would always be responsible for taking Xiao Li back. Shen Huai threw the car keys to Chu Qiang and asked him to send He Qingshe and them back to Meixi Town first.
"Secretary Shen has something to do, so let Chu Qiang be your driver?" said Yu Yiliang.
Work and life are two different circles, and Shen Huai only initially let Chu Yiliang and Chu Qiang enter his work circle, and it is impossible to go further so easily.
If the relationship is so easy to get closer, it will only seem that he has no weight, how can he win the respect of others?
Shen Huai refused Chu Qiang to be a temporary "full-time driver" for him, and said: "I also made an appointment with a friend to meet, I'll take a taxi to ......" shook hands with Chu Yiliang, patted He Qingshe and Guo Quan's shoulders affectionately, and walked out to take a taxi.
