"Okay, let's not put gold on each other, just the two of us, whether there is an audience or not." Qi Tianxiang looked at Hou Zhehai and said with a faint smile: "Let's talk about something serious!" ”

Hou Zhehai waited for Qi Tianxiang to say this, knowing that Qi Tianxiang was already a little out of breath, so he was secretly overjoyed, but there was no change in his expression, he just got up, sat closer to Qi Tianxiang, and said a little mysteriously: "The captain and political commissar of the armed police corps came to Guishui County at the same time, don't you think it's a little strange?" ”

Looking at Qi Tianxiang's slightly confused expression, Hou Zhehai continued: "Although they are all within the scope of Hehai, due to management reasons, the connection between the armed police and the local government is more political and legal, or the public security system. Even if there is a major security emergency, it is the garrison and the provincial military district that are linked, and this is also determined by their responsibilities and nature. Now it was just a phone call from Zhou Tong, and the captain and the political commissar came over together, was it just because the armed police checkpoint blocked them from building them? Isn't that a little weird? ”

"I don't understand this either, the two chief officials appeared at the same time, and you were invited to accompany you, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, which is a bit unusual." Qi Tianxiang echoed Hou Zhehai's words, and then said slowly: "At first, I thought about it, maybe I just paid attention to it!" After your dialing, I really don't think that's the case. ”

"Actually, you know it, but you just don't want to say it!" Hou Zhehai looked at Qi Tianxiang with strange eyes, and said with a slight smile: "As soon as you arrived, you listened to the report of Shanyin City, and then listened to the detailed report of Guishui County, I don't believe that you don't know anything." Even so, with your Qi Tianxiang's many years of experience and keen sense, you haven't thought about what they are doing when an armed police checkpoint interception house is built? They are forest checkpoints, why are vehicles and people entering the mountains blocked? Who gave them the order? And what are the intentions? Who gave them the guts to intercept and place under house arrest officials of the provincial government on urgent duty? Don't you know any of this? ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Hou Zhehai's series of questions, especially when he saw his suspicious expression, he couldn't help laughing, but it was only a shallow smile, and he quickly stopped, and said to Hou Zhehai seriously: "It's not a secret, these problems do make me a little confused, and I have thought about the reasons, but I don't have the time and mood to think about it, because the two problems of pollution sources and clean river water are in front of me, but the latter is more realistic and urgent." ”

Qi Tianxiang said seriously, looking at Hou Zhehai's face a little embarrassed, he softened his tone and said slowly: "In the deep mountainous area centered on Pingba Township, there are precious and rare metals, which I only learned in the afternoon. Not only did I just know about it, but even the officials of the Department of Land and Resources heard it for the first time, which shows that the news is very shady, and it can also be seen that I don't want too many people to know, since I don't want people to know, why should I know too much, as long as it doesn't cause excessive environmental harm and doesn't produce follow-up pollution, I can not ask at all. That's why I stopped Political Commissar Wang Ping and didn't let him go on, because this matter is not the most important issue now, the most important issue now is what happened in the mountains, we don't know, and we need to understand it as soon as possible. Until these doubts are solved, it is superfluous to say anything. ”

Hou Zhehai finally understood Qi Tianxiang's thoughts, it was not that he hadn't thought about these things, but he didn't have the time and mood to think about them, but he still said uneasily: "If you say so, can you be so detached?" In my opinion, it is better to have a detailed understanding of the inside situation and make a plan in advance, otherwise if there is any sudden change tomorrow, it will be very passive. ”

Qi Tianxiang seemed to be suddenly interested, looked at Hou Zhehai and asked seriously: "Presumably your brother has some understanding of the inside story!" Listen to it, and give me some inspiration. ”

Hou Zhehai knew that Qi Tianxiang's words were the opposite, with a sense of sarcasm, but now he didn't have the time to care about this, he took a sip of water from the teacup and said slowly: "I know some, and I have heard what Wang Ping said, as an old political worker who has worked in the headquarters for many years, Wang Ping knows far more than what he said to me." ”

Hou Zhehai carefully looked at Qi Tianxiang's reaction, and saw that he was just looking at himself calmly, so he slowly continued: "Wang Ping once worked as a secretary to a leader of the headquarters, and he has some understanding of the inside situation of the army. ”

As Hou Zhehai spoke, a trace of sourness appeared in his heart, and he said with emotion: "Following the right person is really important now!" Even if the leader retires, Yu Wei is still there, and he can put forward his own requirements more bluntly, and no unit or individual dares to call back the ticket. It is better to say that it is to rely on the old and sell the old, or to say that it is better for young cadres to respect the old, anyway, the actual interests are far greater than when they are in office. ”

Qi Tianxiang saw that Hou Zhehai began to detour again, so he changed his sitting posture a little impatiently, also took a sip of water from the teacup, calmed down the emotions in his heart, and slowly echoed and said: "The old comrades have made great contributions to the cause of the party and the country, and retiring is itself a continuation of the cause. Of course, the placement of staff who have worked around for many years should be taken care of, and these are not excessive. ”

Hou Zhehai was confused by Qi Tianxiang's statement, and he really couldn't figure out the true intention of Qi Tianxiang to say this at the moment, whether it was seconded or said casually, but Qi Tianxiang's action of changing his sitting posture and the subtle changes in serving tea and drinking water were still caught by Hou Zhehai, and hurriedly said while the iron was hot: "I won't talk about Wang Ping's matter, I have to talk about it until midnight today, let's talk about the situation he wants to say!" ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang nodding slightly, Hou Zhehai picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and said slowly in the thick smoke that filled his eyes: "The problem in Guishui County is very complicated, so complicated that you can't imagine it, to put it simply, everything here is Jia Gongzi's industry, Wang Ping and I are running errands to deliver news, the real behind-the-scenes figure is a huge interest group, from politics to economics, from the military to meddle in local affairs, It still depends on the intertwined interests of the relationship. ”

"Jia Gongzi, who is the one who took down nearly 100 billion yuan of state-owned assets of electricity in neighboring provinces with a bank loan of 200 million?" Qi Tianxiang said that from Tao Ran's speech in the afternoon, from Han Zizai's fearless response to Tao Ran, especially from the anger and helplessness when Fang Jianshe came back, he felt the complexity of the matter, which may involve high-level officials, and it will be very troublesome to deal with, but after knowing the truth, he was still deeply shocked, and couldn't help suppressing the doubts in his heart, looking at Hou Zhehai and asking: "I don't know much about this Jia Gongzi, but I heard that the energy is big and the road is also very wide." When did he set his sights on Guishui County, and what did he do? ”

Qi Tianxiang's reaction was seen by Hou Zhehai, and it was also expected by him, it was normal to have such a reaction, which showed that he still cared about these inside information. Qi Tianxiang is not monolithic, he will also weigh the gains and losses, for his own career and interests, he will have his own judgment and choice, so Hou Zhehai has a certain confidence in the outcome of the conversation, but he still wants to add some weight and add more certainty of victory.

"Jia Gongzi's generosity is not just the one thing you just said about the snake swallowing the elephant in the neighboring province, the domestic military orders, the import of complete sets of high-precision equipment, and even warships, airplanes and the like, ordinary businessmen dare not think of it, he can use the relationship of the old leader to do it effortlessly." Hou Zhehai looked at Qi Tianxiang and said with emotion: "Unlike many children of official eunuchs who are eyeing real estate and are keen on taking land cheaply, this Jia Gongzi is not very keen on real estate projects, although there is also real estate, compared with the profits of the import and export of military industry and armaments, real estate is really out of his eyes." ”

Hou Zhehai paused, observing Qi Tianxiang's reaction, seeing that he was still listening calmly, and then continued: "Take 200 million to buy nearly 100 billion state-owned assets, it's not that people don't have money, but they feel that they can use the power in their hands and the power of the old leader to do this." In the minds of these people, whatever power can do, it does not need money at all, and money can only be used to buy things that power does not disdain. I don't know how much money he has, and I don't dare to comment on it, but the rumors from the outside world that the country is rich and rival the country may still have some basis. ”

"For 200 million to nearly 100 billion, this is the actual benefit that many people can see, those seemingly huge numbers, in fact, are some buildings and some fixed equipment, and some intangible assets such as brands and effects that cannot be realized, which are useless things, the real value is the annual profit, and there is very little left after excluding expenditures." Hou Zhehai seemed to be very indifferent to the rumors, and there was a strong sense of resistance and ridicule in his words, and then said: "However, these mineral deposits in Guishui County, as well as similar rare metal mines in several other places, produce real money and silver. ”

Hou Zhehai looked at Qi Tianxiang's calm eyes, and said to himself: "You may not believe it, these rare metals, after going out of this poor county and making the necessary selections abroad, become part of some complete sets of equipment, are imported into China for necessary dismantling, and finally refined into finished products for use in the military industry and aerospace fields, and the value has increased by a thousand times." ”
