Ge Yongqiu and Zhou Yu both left the city one after another to take up new positions, although Shen Huai's organizational relationship had also been transferred to Xiapu County, and no one in the city rushed over to take back Shen Huai's house.

In the next few days, Shen Huai handed over the key to the room to Chen Tong and asked him to work with Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng to take the time to move all the things in his house to Meixi Town, and he went to the Organization Department of the Xiapu County Party Committee to report.

Meixi Town is close to Donghua City, and people in the town are accustomed to running to Donghua City for everything; however, Shen Huai has studied high school in Xiapu County for three years, and he is not unfamiliar with the county seat, which is twenty or thirty kilometers away from Meixi Town; of course, he is not very familiar with it.

To accept the pre-appointment talk of the Organization Department of the county party committee, Shen Huai lived in the county seat for a few days, which can be regarded as a revisit to the old place.

Regardless of whether he knew or did not know him, whether he had a grudge or a grudge, the county leaders at home and the responsible persons of the main county-level organs, Shen Huai was also led by the comrades of the Organization Department to recognize his familiar face.

The previous county magistrate was transferred to Xinjin County as secretary, and Ge Yongqiu just went to Xiapu County to perform his duties as deputy secretary of the county party committee and acting county magistrate.

On the afternoon of 18 October, Shen Huai was led by someone from the Organization Department to push the door in, and Ge Yongqiu was directing the staff of the county government office to rearrange his office.

"There's going to be a row of bookshelves here, I like furniture with a darker color......" Ge Yongqiu pointed to a wall in the side window, waving his hand, as if trying to use some words to describe what it feels like to have a row of bookshelves in front of him.

He couldn't explicitly ask for high-end bookshelves such as mahogany, but only hinted at it with the elegant word "darker in color", and asked the director of the county government office who was not familiar with it to understand it by himself.

The staff of the Organization Department of the county party committee accompanied Shen Huai in, and reported to Ge Yongqiu respectfully: "County magistrate Ge, this is Shen Huai, the newly reported deputy secretary of the Meixi Town Party Committee, come and recognize the ......."

Ge Yongqiu watched Shen Huai push the door in, and his face turned cold.

If it weren't for Shen Huai, the secretary of the county party committee would have been in his pocket.

As Ge Yongqiu, who has been immersed in Donghua officialdom for 20 years, of course knows how deep the gap between the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate is, and of course he knows how many county magistrates in China are staring at the position of the secretary of the county party committee. Although the position of the county magistrate is not bad, after all, the power is greatly restricted, and only the secretary of the county party committee, who is the number one, is the real grass king who covers the sky with one hand and no one can disobey him.

Not to mention the boxing incident in the city steel mill, just because Shen Huai could not serve as the secretary of the county party committee in one step, Ge Yongqiu hated Shen Huai to the bone......

Shen Huai didn't seem to be aware of it, took the words of the comrades of the Organization Department, and said with a smile: "I am a soldier under the county magistrate Ge in the city; now in Xiapu, I am still a soldier under the county magistrate Ge; the county magistrate Ge often says that I am the monkey sun, but I can't jump over the Wuzhi Mountain of the county magistrate Ge......" turned around, looked at Ge Yongqiu's new office, and exclaimed, "Secretary General Ge is a rare scholar-type cadre in the city, and he didn't forget to study when he became the county magistrate, and Mayor Gao's office is also laid out like this, right?" Is there a pot of rich trees to be placed on the windowsill?"

The more he listened to Shen Huai's words, the more he felt that something was wrong, and Ge Yongqiu hurriedly intercepted his words: "Oh, you finally came to Xiapu County to report, I have been waiting for you for half a month." Since we are old acquaintances, we are not busy catching up on the old days, so you should go and visit Secretary Tao first......"

"Secretary Tao went to Hetang Town for research, and he couldn't come back until the afternoon. The staff of the organization department explained.

It's not that Ge Yongqiu doesn't hate Shen Huai, it's just that he and Gao Tianhe can't see through the relationship between Shen Huai and Tan Qiping, and they can't see through what deal exists between Shen Huai and Wu Haifeng, secretary of the municipal party committee, so Wu Haifeng will directly ask Xiapu County to send Shen Huai to Meixi Town as the deputy secretary in charge of the economy through the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

Before Wu Haifeng gave up the throne of secretary of the municipal party committee and the word "generation" on his title was removed, he would not act rashly and make any clear moves towards Shen Huai.

*****************

In the afternoon, Tao Jixing, secretary of the county party committee, returned from Hetang Town, and Shen Huai received a notice to rush to his office for a conversation.

Tao Jixing has heard about what happened in the city's steel mill.

Tao Jixing almost squeezed out the position of secretary of the county party committee to Ge Yongqiu this time, if it weren't for Wu Haifeng's strong press to prevent Ge Yongqiu from coming out, Tao Jixing's best result would be to move to a nest and be transferred to Xinjin or somewhere else as secretary.

To say that Tao Jixing is not vigilant and defensive against Ge Yongxing is a lie.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, Tao Jixing has a natural affinity for Shen Huai, so he ignores that he is a little too young.

"When I returned to the city for a meeting, Secretary Wu specifically mentioned you, saying that you are an overseas talent introduced by the province, and your specialty is economics, and you have your own ideas, and you want me to boldly put the burden on young and capable cadres."

Tao Jixing's hair is thin, combed and shiny, and when his fat nose is talking, the wings of his nose will be exaggeratedly opened, sitting behind the bright desk, talking to Shen Huai very casually,

"When it comes to the economy and industry of Meixi Town, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant also accounts for a large weight. How about it, are you afraid that the burden will be too heavy?"

Tao Jixing's conversation made Shen Huai feel a little surprised.

He thought that the best result of this conversation would be to go to Meixi Town to serve as deputy secretary of the party committee, and clearly take charge of the functions and powers of industry and economy, but whether he could grasp the real power of the Meitie Iron and Steel Plant would have to wait until he arrived in Meixi Town.

Shen Huai didn't expect that the meaning of Tao Jixing's words was that he wanted to directly move the seat of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant to him, which made him a little surprised......

If Tao Jixing's arrangement was due to Wu Haifeng's instructions, Wu Haifeng had to make a lot more than the original promised deal.

Could it be that Wu Haifeng has already heard the rumor that Tan Qiping will be the secretary of the municipal party committee in Donghua in the future?

Could it be that it is still the chain reaction caused by the city's steel fist beating Zhou Dazui?

The situation at the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is complex and the problems are serious.

Take Yang Haipeng's words, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is a pit, not to mention to save the fate of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant's imminent demise, there are few people who can get out of it cleanly by jumping in.

Shen Huai made up his mind, and after arriving in Meixi Town, he would start with the steel mill and open up the situation, because he would have Tan Qiping behind him, so he had no fear.

However, Tao Jixing took the initiative to hand over the peach at this time, and Shen Huai would not be so simple as to think that he and Wu Haifeng who was hiding behind him had good intentions......

"Secretary Tao attaches so much importance to it, and I am willing to pick up the heavy burden first. ”

Regardless of whether Tao Jixing had good intentions or bad intentions, since the peaches were handed over, Shen Huai had no reason not to eat them first.

Tao Jixing saw that Shen Huai agreed without much hesitation, his eyes narrowed slightly, he laughed, and said:

"Well, young people should have such courage and responsibility. It's not a coincidence that you came to the county to report, Du Jian, the party secretary of Meixi Town, just came over two days ago, otherwise you can call both of you here to talk about your heart. I have already communicated with Du Jian and He Qingshe about the work you are in charge of after you arrive in Meixi Town, and I am looking for you to come over to confirm again......"

Although Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is a collective enterprise under the jurisdiction of Meixi Town, generally speaking, the appointment of management personnel of the steel plant should be recommended by the town's party and government joint meeting.

However, as one of the few large-scale enterprises in Xiapu County with total assets of nearly 100 million yuan, and they are collective, it is obviously impossible for the county not to interfere in the appointment of factory managers.

As a result of the multi-party balance, the management personnel of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant were discussed and recommended by the joint meeting of the town's party and government, but they could only be formally appointed after the county's assessment and approval. Under the tradition of domestic political centralization, a considerable part of the personnel appointment power of the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is actually in the hands of the county.

****************

After talking to Tao Jixing, the organizational procedures for the transfer are completed, and they are waiting to go directly to Meixi Town to officially take office.

Shen Huai didn't stay in the county anymore, and returned to the city that night, and he couldn't see through some problems, so he needed Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong to take a closer look at them for him.

"The news that you were at the city steel mill in mid-September almost spread in the city. Now many people say that if Vice Mayor Chen had not died of illness unexpectedly, the city steel mill would probably have given Vice Mayor Chen the first to take out the operation, and I believe that Wu Haifeng, Gao Tianhe, and other city leaders also have this idea......

Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong directly pulled Shen Huai to the grove behind the tube building to talk about things.

Here, Xiong Wenbin can also smoke a few cigarettes behind his wife Bai Sumei's back, and he doesn't think that Wu Haifeng and Tao Jixing will directly push Shen Huai to control Meixi Iron and Steel Plant for no reason.

Shen Huai spit out the smoke ring, looking at the small pond with green weeds floating outside the woods, he had guessed that it might be the sequelae of the boxing Zhou Dazui incident, and said: "I directly hinted to Wu Haifeng that I wanted to go to Meixi Town, whether it is to make money or make political achievements, there is no better goal in the entire Meixi Town than Meixi Iron and Steel Plant." Wu Haifeng should have thought that he had seen through me, so he took the initiative to make such an arrangement. He handed out this peach, and he was not afraid that I would not eat it. ”

"If Tao Jixing's arrangement was at the behest of Wu Haifeng, it would not be difficult to understand," Xiong Wenbin continued, "The Donghua iron and steel industry is still controlled by Gao Tianhe's people. It's not just the city steel mill, many of the steel sales channels outside the city steel mill are directly controlled by Gao Tianhe's son Gao Xiaohu......"

"Meixi Steel Mill, almost sixty or seventy percent of the output, is directly eaten by the trading company controlled by Gao Xiaohu,"

Zhao Dong sat on a fallen tree root, he has officially handed over a letter of resignation to the city steel mill, these days he mainly does a few things, that is, to inquire about the purchase of raw materials, technical production and product sales of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant,

The employees of Meixi Steel Mill are very resistant to this, but their arms can't twist their thighs, and from Du Jian down, those managers of the steel mill, as long as they can get benefits, don't mind being embarrassed by Gao Xiaohu and Zhou Zhibai. I guess, Wu Haifeng directly planted you in the Meixi Steel Mill through Tao Jixing, first, he guessed that you had the intention of meddling in the steel mill, second, he pushed the boat down the river to let you make trouble with Gao Xiaohu and them, and third, it was convenient for them to get out smoothly......"

In the past month, Shen Huai has spent most of his time with Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong. In addition to his own family background, Chen Mingde told him all kinds of things that happened before and after his unexpected death, so that they could help analyze the situation more accurately.

Shen Huai nodded, agreed with Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong's judgment, and said: "Thinking about the worst, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant will not be able to survive in the past two years, but when it comes to shutting down and liquidating, we must always find one or two scapegoats to come out, otherwise there is no way to explain to all parties." At this time, putting me up and letting their people retreat safely may indeed be a goal of Wu Haifeng and Tao Jixing. ”

The director of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is none other than Du Jian, secretary of the town party committee.

In Donghua City, where economic development is lagging behind, township and county cadres do not have many means to make money, and even if a township enterprise with assets of nearly 100 million yuan is in difficulty, it can actually make much more oil and water than ordinary county leaders.

If Tao Guoxing hadn't intervened strongly, how could Du Jian easily give up the seat of Meixi Steel Mill?

During this time, Shen Huai, Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong almost studied the situation of Meixi Steel Mill thoroughly.

The corruption and corruption in the production process of the Meixi Steel Mill itself are not particularly serious, and the most serious thing is the vampires who bite the Meixi Steel Mill one by one on the periphery.

The steel sales of Meixi Steel Mill are controlled at low prices by many steel trading companies such as Gao Xiaohu, the son of Mayor Gao Tianhe.

The material company that specializes in supplying furnace materials to Meixi Steel Mill is not a bystander, it is a trading company controlled by the Zhou family, and of course, there are also many relatives of officials in Donghua City and Xiapu County, such as Tao Jixing's nephew.

The short-process process adopted by Meixi Steel Mill is to put scrap iron and scrap into the furnace, melt it into molten iron to make steel ingots, and then produce formed steel products. Regardless of the level of production management, the price of the charge is artificially raised, and the product price is deliberately lowered, how much profit margin can be left for the factory?

Meixi Steel Mill has been operating at a loss since 87 and 88.

Due to the support of powerful officials such as Wu Haifeng and Tao Jixing behind the scenes, and the background of vigorously developing township enterprises throughout the country, even if Meixi Steel Mill lost money, it was still able to obtain a steady stream of loans from banks to maintain its operation.

Shen Huai did not understand the relationship between the Zhou family and Wu Haifeng, the secretary of the municipal party committee, but at this time, he could understand why Wu Haifeng supported the Meixi steel mill in the loss of money in eight or nine years, and also expanded the production capacity to 100,000 tons through bank loans.

In fact, it is to allow the peripheral related blood-sucking enterprises to suck more blood profits from Meixi Steel Mill.

Last year, the central government and the State Council tightened the monetary policy of the major banks and vigorously rectified the banking system, and Huaihai Province took the lead in carrying out a pilot reform of the tax-sharing system in the whole country.

Meixi Steel Mill has no blood to suck in front of it, and it is about to be forced to shut down, and Wu Haifeng wants to see that he is about to lose power, Tao Jixing is almost transferred out of Xiapu County this time, for them, the safe withdrawal has become the first place at present.

Otherwise, when the Meixi Steel Mill is shut down, if someone prompts the relevant departments to intervene in the investigation, they will not have enough power to cover up their crimes.
