The distance from the Shuangshan Town Government to the White Fox Mountain is not far, but the road is more difficult to walk, most of the roads along the way are dirt roads, some places are also dug up deep ditches by the people who water the ground, and there is no filling in the peace after that, riding a bicycle encounters these places can only be pushed, Zhao Ping'an's Fukang off-road performance is too poor, it can not raise the speed at all, and it took nearly half an hour to come to the foot of the White Fox Mountain.

After jumping out of the car, Zhao Ping'an complained: "Brother, this road is really difficult to walk, the town should really spend more energy to repair this road." ”

Chen Qingdong had already seen the tender green willow artemisia growing all over the mountains at this time, and he was in a good mood, and after listening to Zhao Ping'an's complaints, he chuckled: "Brother Zhao, building a road is not an easy task, and you have to have money to do it! As far as I know, the town's finances are very tight, and I am afraid that it will not be able to come up with this money." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "If the town finance has no money, then you can also call on the villagers in the vicinity to raise funds and contribute money to build this road." The road is repaired, and it is a good thing for them. Moreover, if they contribute money and efforts, they can also offset their retention, agricultural taxes, accumulation labor, voluntary labor, and so on! Look at how rotten this road is now, if it weren't for these two barren mountains, I wouldn't have bothered to come here, and no one else would have come. ”

Zhao Ping'an, a businessman, can say whatever he wants, but Chen Qingdong, a government functionary, doesn't dare to talk nonsense, this is a political mistake!

Therefore, Chen Qingdong didn't answer this conversation at all, but changed the topic and said: "Brother Zhao, just because this road is very rotten, no one will take advantage of the value of these two barren mountains, otherwise, there may have been people with advanced vision who contracted these two barren mountains first." ”

"Brother Qingdong, I believe what you say. Zhao Ping'an agreed, "Don't say anything else, just say that the stone here is so rich, I, Zhao Ping'an, am definitely not the first to take a fancy to it, but many people even if they fancy the stone here, but this road is not good, it is estimated that many people will give up this idea." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ping'an suddenly changed the topic and said: "Brother Qingdong, but then again, even if we contract these two barren mountains in the future, if we want to transport the resources here, I'm afraid we will have to build roads!"

Chen Qingdong's eyes were full of green willow artemisia, and he smiled noncommittally at Zhao Ping'an's words, and said: "Brother Zhao, then you can build roads, and you can be regarded as contributing to the local people, and the people will definitely remember you." ”

"Dude, you're really joking. Zhao Ping'an said, "Such a big project, my old Zhao can't play it alone." Brother Qingdong, this matter has to be more worrying about the town government, mobilizing the masses more, and it is still okay for us to sponsor some funds when the time comes. ”

Chen Qingdong didn't have much interest in building the road now, so he said casually: "Brother Zhao, your relationship with Gao Zhen is so good, why don't you just tell Gao Zhen about this matter when the time comes." ”

Zhao Ping'an smiled again and said, "Brother Qingdong, you're joking again." The current situation in Shuangshan Town, we all know that Gao Zhen is afraid that he will not have time to worry about road construction for the time being. I see, at the very least, the road will have to wait until the end of the year. ”

This year's general election is in September, and before the general election, neither Wei Hailong nor Gao Kun will ever touch the road construction.

Because building a road is not a trivial matter, it involves many complicated things such as funds, projects, land, and coordination with farmers, and such a project cannot be completed in a short period of time.

And after the end of the general election in September, after the plate was set, it took a few months to overtake, and at the end of the year, the situation in Shuangshan Town was almost stabilized.

This can also be regarded by the new ruler of Shuangshan Town as his first major political achievement since taking office, which can invite merit to the upper and lower levels, and is still a good thing for the people.

For Zhao Ping'an, he tried his best to promote this project, and after the road was built, it would not only facilitate the transportation of his stones, but also send political achievements to the new rulers of Shuangshan Town, which was really a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone!

Zhao Ping'an said this sentence and seemed to be saying it casually, but Chen Qingdong heard a deep meaning from Zhao Ping'an's words.

Suddenly, Chen Qingdong thought that Zhao Ping'an was a very wild person, and it was estimated that he had contact with many energetic people in the county, and maybe he could find out something about Zhao Ping'an.

Chen Qingdong knocked on the side and said, "Brother Zhao, how do you say this chaotic situation in our Shuangshan Town will develop?"

Zhao Ping'an handed Chen Qingdong a cigarette, and the two smoked, and Zhao Ping'an continued: "Brother, you really asked the wrong person this question, I am a businessman, where do I dare to interfere in the affairs of your officialdom." ”

Although Chen Qingdong listened to Zhao Ping'an's words in a very low-key manner, the tone of his speech was a little ridiculous, as if he actually had some opinions on the situation in Shuangshan Town, but he was just embarrassed to comment.

Chen Qingdong smiled lightly again and said: "Brother Zhao, although you don't mix officialdom, you also deal with officials, you are already a senior, and there are no outsiders here, why don't you teach your brother and give me some advice?"

"Brother Qingdong, what you said is too polite, your level is much higher than mine, I don't dare to point you out. Zhao Ping'an said.

Then, Zhao Ping'an seemed to deliberately want to show Chen Qingdong that he had a wide range of contacts, and continued: "However, Brother Qingdong, what you said is right, I am a good person, and I know a lot of people. ”

Chen Qingdong immediately said: "Brother Zhao, please speak." ”

Zhao Ping'an did not directly talk about the situation in Shuangshan Town, but laughed dryly, and said: "Hehe, Brother Qingdong, let me tell you a joke first, in fact, this joke is already very vulgar, you must have heard it, but the meaning is very accurate! The joke says that there are three reasons why an official can't do his job well: one is to sleep like a widow and no one is on it; the second is to sleep like a prostitute and the person above is always replaced; and the third is to sleep with his wife, and his own people are always doing his own thing. Brother Qingdong, have you heard this joke?"

Chen Qingdong had heard many people talk about this classic joke on different occasions, so he laughed: "I have indeed heard of it." ”

"Then Brother Chen, which of these three reasons do you think is the most important, or the most fundamental?" Zhao Ping'an asked again.

Chen Qingdong thought for a while and said, "The first point?"

Zhao Ping'an stroked his palms and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Qingdong is a deep officialdom! Yes, what kind of democratic centralism is said in China's officialdom today, in fact, it is still the main leaders who have the final say. For a county seat, the main leader is, of course, the secretary of the county party committee. But for you, that's not the case, who can decide the hat on your head, and for you, who is the main leader. ”

Chen Qingdong asked further: "Brother Zhao, then according to you, who can decide the hat on my head?"

Zhao Ping'an, such a smart person, of course, would not say it explicitly, but laughed and said: "Brother, you are such a perceptive person, you naturally understand everything in your heart, do you still need me to break it?"

Chen Qingdong was silent.

Zhao Ping'an said: "Brother Qingdong, I won't tell you, when I was young, I actually had the opportunity to enter the officialdom. But I decisively refused. I'm not born to be an official. ”

Chen Qingdong knew that Zhao Ping'an had something to say, so he asked, "Brother Zhao, what do you say?"

"Hehe, Brother Qingdong, in fact, I have seen through it a long time ago, this officialdom is actually exactly the same as a casino! As long as you enter the officialdom, you will follow up a casino, but the size of the casino is different, and the chips for winning and losing are different!"

Chen Qingdong saw that Zhao Ping'an was quite talkative at this meeting, so he didn't speak, and listened to him continue.

"Brother Qingdong, I don't know if you usually play cards or not, but you must understand this truth as soon as you hear it. If you usually like to play some small cards in some roadside mahjong parlors, winning or losing is at most hundreds of dollars, then you won't be able to make a fortune, and you won't lose your life if you lose. But it's not interesting to keep playing cards like this, grinding your fingers in vain, and wasting your time!"

"One day, you don't want to play these small ones, you want to play the big ones, the wins and losses are hundreds of thousands of millions, win this one, you can immediately soar, if you lose this one, you may not be able to turn over for the rest of your life. At this time, there is no one to play in this kind of small mahjong parlor on the side of the road, you have to go to a high-end club, or even a professional casino, and gamble with those real bigwigs. Those big guys are all characters who have been in the casino for many years, and all of them are old monsters who have cultivated fiery eyes, play with them, if you don't have a big heart and a pair of bright eyes, can you play with them?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ping'an laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, Brother Qingdong, I'm Lao Zhao, there are no other advantages, but there is a little advantage, that is, I have self-knowledge, I know that if I enter this casino, I just play small cards and grind my fingers every day, I will definitely not be able to live this kind of boring life." If you want to go to a big casino to play with people, I don't know I have this big heart. Alas, after thinking about it, forget it, I'm not going to this casino anymore, let's play something else. When others come to the casino to play cards, I will open a small restaurant and send food to these uncles to earn some tips. ”

"Brother Qingdong, I'm a rough person with no culture, and this metaphor is really nondescript, but I can see that you have similar thoughts to me, and you are definitely not satisfied with messing around in a small mahjong parlor, and always want to go to a big casino to gamble, and come back vigorously! However, your heart is bigger than mine, and your eyes are much brighter than mine, so I am very optimistic about you. But as for how to bet, how to bet, whether to press big or small, I don't know myself, and I can't teach you. Zhao Ping'an finally said.

Chen Qingdong listened to Zhao Ping'an's simple analogy, and he was very emotional, he knew that Zhao Ping'an really saw through himself!

However, how to bet on this big gamble, big or small?

After thinking about it, Chen Qingdong strengthened his determination to press Gao Kun's side, and joined forces with Gao Kun to play a double reed, if he could deceive Wei Hailong and let Gao Kun be promoted to the throne of the director of the county land bureau, his bet this time would be considered right!

With the gambling capital in exchange for this gamble, you can almost continue to play, otherwise, you can only be eliminated from this level!

"Brother Zhao, thank you. Chen Qingdong said sincerely.

Zhao Ping'an laughed and said: "Brother Qingdong, I'm just joking with you, talking about fun, don't take it seriously." ”

Chen Qingdong also laughed.

After chatting about this topic, Zhao Ping'an talked about his business again, and said, "Brother Chen, how did you think about contracting these two barren mountains?"

"I have thought about it a long time ago, and it is my honor to work with Brother Zhao. Chen Qingdong said, "However, I have to report to Secretary Wei after I go back to see what Secretary Wei says." ”

Zhao Ping'an was very happy and said, "This is for sure. Brother Chen, then I'll wait for your good news!"

Chen Qingdong said again: "Brother Zhao, you also know that Secretary Wei may not be able to take care of this matter now, so I can't say when this matter will be settled, anyway, I will definitely try my best to do it." ”

Zhao Ping'an nodded and said, "Brother, don't be too anxious about this matter, anyway, before we build this road, even if we run a stone quarry, we can't sell the stone, and we don't dare to get on this road." However, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to settle this matter before the general election. ”

"I understand that. Chen Qingdong said, he didn't say enough, but left room to say, "After I go back, I will talk to Secretary Wei about this matter again, and strive to do this matter well as soon as possible." ”
