Sun Qiyi turned off the lights and stood in front of the window, watched Shen Huai leave in the car in front of the building, picked up the watch on the windowsill, and found that it was already more than four o'clock in the morning.

Thinking that it wouldn't be long before dawn, Sun Qiyi didn't know whether to wait until he had slept or go to his eldest brother's room now.

Sun Qishan has been in Hong Kong for a few days, and he has not reversed the jet lag, he has been working day and night upside down, and when he talks about the early hours of the morning today, he has no sleepiness, and he does not go to rest immediately.

Watching Qiyi knock on the door and come in, Sun Qishan called the hotel to send two cups of coffee - although there is no high-end coffee machine in the room in the Beishan Hotel, the hotel has a meat coffee machine, as long as you make a phone call, you can have a good taste of freshly ground coffee delivered 24 hours a day, this service makes Sun Qishan quite satisfied.

Sun Qishan took out the humidor again, opened it and asked Qiyi: "Do you want to come to the root?"

Sun Qiyi took a cigar, picked up the cigar scissor and cut a small incision, picked up the lighter and lit it, ignoring the miscellaneous gas and heat flow when lighting the cigarette...... Sun Qishan watched Qiyi's action of lighting a cigar, and sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that it was easy for Qiyi to bow his head in front of him, if he wanted to ask him to bow to a junior like Shen Huai, he couldn't wipe his face, and his mentality would inevitably be impatient.

It is also thanks to Shen Huai's ability to take care of the proportions, and without the intention of taking advantage of Qiyi's impatient mentality, things will not be complicated.

Sun Qishan watched Qiyi smoke the cigar impatiently, and was not busy talking about things, picked up the lighter, and slowly waited for the flame to stabilize, then pinched the cigar, tilted the tail end up, slowly rotated it for a week, preheated it, and then let the cigar light evenly from the edge to zhongyāng, and gently blew back two breaths before taking a puff.

"What conditions did he propose?" Sun Qiyi asked after taking two more puffs of his cigar impatiently.

Shen Huai didn't mention any conditions, but hoped that Meigang and Evergreen Group could cooperate more deeply. He also did not deny that he was a member of the Sun family, and he did not have the mind to watch the fire and gloat from the other side," Sun Qishan concisely said the content of his conversation with Shen Huai just now, and said, "Shen Huai also gave me the bottom, and the iron ore orders that Xinpu can give us can reach up to four million tons per year......"

"......" Sun Qiyi glanced at his eldest brother, and stopped talking.

"What do you want to say, you ......" Sun Qishan said, knowing that these words could not dispel the doubts in Qiyi's heart, he still had to listen to his true opinion in his heart.

"......," Sun Qiyi said, "Shen Huai shouldn't have talked about more than that, right?"

Sun Qishan nodded, he came mainly to be a peacemaker, plugged in the middle as a microphone, will not talk in detail, on the framework of cooperation, there is no need to talk for three or four hours, he said: "Some no, talked about a lot of other topics, 1.2 billion people, tax system, high consumption capacity market, basic investment, labor prices, etc., everything was discussed, but also talked about the reconstruction of the Xudong Railway, talked about the export of Huai Coal to the East, talked about the economic development of the Huaihai Bay region, talked about the railway and highway network in East China, and talked about the development of the large framework of Huaihai Province." You have studied the mainland's economy quite deeply, what do you think of the issue of regional framework development raised by Tian Jiageng, secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee?"

"......" Sun Qiyi was silent for a while, and then sighed lightly and said, "I have to admit that Tian Jiageng has a tacit understanding with Shen Huai to a certain extent. Perhaps it was the Xinpu Steel Mill project that Shen Huai really caught Tian Jiageng's attention. At present, Huaihai Province is silent about the Xinpu refining and chemical project and has no intention of helping, but if Meigang can prepare the project to a certain extent on its own, the driving force of the province may be activated at any time. ”

"......" Sun Qishan sighed secretly in his heart, this is the first time he has heard a positive evaluation of the Xinpu refining and chemical project from Qiyi's mouth, it is really not easy, but he is not in a hurry to tell Qiyi about Meigang's contact with the Yasuda chaebol, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I know that you are also worried that Shen Huai and his second uncle have a deep rift, but thinking too much may not be a good thing, Shen Huai is at least the reckless person that some people think." Heartlessness may be a shortcoming of Shen Huai, so the path he chose is a bit narrow in the eyes of ordinary people, but Song Qiaosheng, you have been in contact with him, you know that he is ambitious, but you should also know his shortcomings......"

Sun Qiyi was silent and did not speak, Song Qiaosheng's shortcomings in the past may not be obvious, but in the matter of Meigang's backdoor Xucheng oil refining, he did show a little impatience - Sun Qiyi thought to himself: Maybe some people's flaws are born, and sometimes they don't show up, it's not that they don't exist, but that no one can be qualified or said to have the strength, which exposes the flaws.

Sun Qishan and Sun Qiyi secretly stayed in Xiapu for three days, discussed various details, and then returned to Hong Kong with a large order from Xinpu Steel Mill, wanting to adjust the investment structure in Thailand as quickly as possible, before the economic crisis broke out—and more specifically, the cooperation plan that could be adjusted at any time, Shen Huai also called Song Hongjun, who returned to Hong Kong at the same time, to coordinate in the center.

During the three days in Xiapu, Sun Qishan and Sun Qiyi did not even have time to stop and take a look at the construction of the Xinpu Steel Plant and the electric furnace steel project joint venture with Fuji Steel and Provincial Steel.

They also know that in the electric furnace steel mill joint venture with Fuji Steel and Provincial Steel, Evergreen Group can only stay in the joint venture steel mill project itself, and has no ability to reach into the interests of the entire industrial chain like Fuji Steel and Provincial Steel Group.

On the eve of the Xiapu County People's Congress election, Chen Baoqi called Tao Jixing and Shen Huai to the city to talk and inquire about the county's preparations.

"Rumors have been going on for so long, and there is no sign of stopping, are they planning to close the net this time?" Shen Huai got out of the car, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun hanging obliquely in the sky, and said to Tao Jixing.

Tao Jixing smiled.

Tao Jixing will retire from the second line in two years, even if he is on the side of Meigang, to be honest, he really has no intention of causing any conflict with Chen Baoqi and Yu Chengzhen.

However, sometimes, it can be said that people are in the rivers and lakes, and the rumors in the city and county about Xiapu's finances, debts, restructuring and other issues suddenly heat up, and they become more and more intense.

Although there is a trend of further political liberalization in China, in addition to promoting the direct election of village committees, strengthening the construction of grassroots people in urban communities, and holding differential elections in cities and counties, zhongyāng even considered promoting the work of direct elections in townships and towns, but during this period, in the election of city and county people's congresses, the organizational intention still needs to be guaranteed and implemented first.

If there is a problem in the election of the Xiapu County People's Congress, it will be a "political accident" that is not small for the city.

Chen Baoqi wants to shirk responsibility for the next "political accident," and it is very important to have a thorough conversation with them this time.

If they pat their chests and say that there is not the slightest problem with the preparations for the election, then if they have to poke out some "political accidents," this board will hit them on the head -- if they hesitate and cannot pat their chests to ensure the smooth completion of the election task, in addition to the possibility of being criticized in person, Chen Baoqi can also cut through from this point and investigate the problems existing in the preparations for the election in Xiapu County...... This is in line with the rumors that have been rampant during this time, both true and false.

Is this the purpose of Chen Baoqi and Yu Chengzhen, is it to find an entry point, send a working group to Xinpu to check the accounts, and then interfere with the party and government work in Xiapu County to a greater extent?

Although it was only late April, the temperature was in the twenties, Tao Jixing came out in a coat, and after getting out of the car, he felt a little hot - although he had been in the officialdom for a long time, he thought that he had sharpened his temperament and was not alarmed, thinking that he would have to face Chen Baoqi next, and even Yu Chengzhen, who was in charge of organization and discipline inspection, was also present, Tao Jixing also felt some pressure.

Tao Jixing glanced at Shen Huai, who was unbuttoning a shirt collar and lifting his feet up the steps, and he couldn't see the slightest abnormality in his expression.

Shen Huai and Tao Jixing first went to Gao Yang, deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee and director of the municipal party committee office.

"Secretary Tao and County Magistrate Shen are here," Gao Yang saw Shen Huai and Tao Jixing coming in in the office, and greeted, "Secretary Yu has already come, just in time for Minister Qi to come over to report to Secretary Chen; you may have to wait for a while." ”

Gao Yang instructed the staff to make tea for Shen Huai and Tao Jixing, and the others did not leave the office, but directly picked up the phone on the desk, pulled out the internal line and reported to Chen Baoqi: "Secretary Tao Jixing and Shen Huai have arrived in the city, well, just wait for you to finish talking to Secretary Yu about work on my side...... Alas, okay, I'll go with them. ”

Gao Yang put down the phone in his hand and said to Shen Huai and Tao Jixing: "Secretary Chen, let's go in together." ”

Tao Jixing glanced at Shen Huai with some doubts, Chen Baoqi came to them to find out the preparations for the county people's congress election, Yu Chengzhen, who served as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee at this time, was in charge of the organization and discipline inspection work, and it was appropriate to be present, but why didn't Qi Jingyao, deputy director of the Propaganda Department who was responsible for the establishment of the New Media Group, avoid it?

Shen Huai frowned slightly, secretly feeling that nothing bad could not be separated from this woman!

Shen Huai didn't say anything, and walked into Chen Baoqi's office with Tao Jixing and Gao Yang, and saw Qi Jingyao, Yu Chengzhen, and Chen Baoqi sitting on the sofa in front of the window, and looked over to them.

"Minister Qi just brought a sample report on Xiapu County, and there are some disagreements within the New Media Group on whether or not to publish this report. Chen Baoqi beckoned Shen Huai and Tao Jixing to sit down.

Tao Jixing sat down and saw that the sample of Donghua Daily resting on the corner of the coffee table had not yet been published, but the style was no different from the newspaper issued, it had been arranged, and as long as it was signed by the editor-in-chief of New Media Group, it would enter the printing house.

Tao Jixing's eyesight was not good, so he took out reading glasses from his pocket, and Qi Jingyao picked up the sample from the corner of the coffee table and helped hand it to him.

There is nothing wrong with the main content of the report, which is a special report on the first anniversary of the establishment of the provincial-level development zone in conjunction with Xinpu, but in the last paragraph, there are some poor daggers, directly questioning the various problems of the Sinpu Development Group in terms of debts with nearly one-fifth of the space.

Tao Jixing didn't say anything, and handed the sample report to Shen Huai to see.
