Chapter 1153 - A Thought Is a Long-term Matter
Chapter 1153 A thought is a long-term matter
Guan Yuanqu's voice was not loud, but it sounded in Xia Xiang's ears like a thunderbolt, although he had long been looking forward to being promoted in Qin Tang, being a member of the Standing Committee, and stepping into the vice-provincial level, but at least it was a year or two later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
completely caught him off guard, and stunned him on the spot with lightning speed
But after calming down and thinking about it again, what Guan Yuanqu just said was just a meeting to study, and no official results have come out yet, and it is still in the preliminary research stage, and whether it is feasible is still between the two.
Sure enough, Guan Yuanqu glanced at Mei Shengping, got up and said, "Shengping, you and Xia want to continue to drink tea, I have something to go out for." ”
Xia wanted to understand that Guan Yuanqu wanted to avoid suspicion, because the Politburo meeting was inconvenient to disclose to the public, and he was leaving room for Mei Shengping to speak.
As soon as Guan Yuanqu came out of the room, Mei Shengping put on a relaxed posture and wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh: "Yuanqu acts more Zhou Zheng than me, so he takes bigger steps than me." After sighing with emotion, he said, "The Politburo studied the preliminary plan for the adjustment of the team of the Yan Provincial Party Committee, and one of the plans is that in view of the increasing proportion of the economy of Yan Province in the Qin and Tang Dynasties, and now it is in a critical period of high-speed construction of Shougang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee can be considered to be a member of the Standing Committee, but the plan was not approved and was temporarily shelved because there were too many objections. ”
There are opposing voices, Xia Xiang is completely understandable, and his age alone is enough to silence many supportive voices. The 32-year-old vice provincial level is also a unique precedent for the whole country, and even Gu Qiushi, who is known as the first person to be promoted in the domestic officialdom, was 34 years old when he was promoted to the vice provincial level.
At the age of 32, he was promoted to vice provincial level by the Standing Committee of the Standing Committee, Xia Xiang has not fainted, nor is he urgent to such an extent, sometimes, it may not be a good thing to experience a few more years at a certain stage.
"I guess you can't guess that Wu Caiyang is also against it." Mei Shengping smiled noncommittally, "I don't know what Minister Wu's considerations are, it doesn't matter if he opposes others, but the person who is a member of the Standing Committee is you, and he also raised strong questions, which makes people wonder through." ”
In fact, it is not difficult to understand Wu Caiyang's opposition, based on Xia Xiang's speculation, it is unlikely that he will be approved by the Politburo, and under the situation that he is not very close to the civilian forces now, and the relationship with the family forces is about to leave, not only Wu Caiyang will speak out to oppose it, but the prime minister may not approve of it.
Xia Xiang didn't want to speak, just waited for Mei Shengping to continue, because no matter what he said now, it didn't mean much.
"The prime minister and the general secretary have not expressed their position...... Mei Shengping's gaze deliberately stayed on Xia Xiang's face for a few seconds, and then said, "Jiang Xuesong is in favor, and Lin Huazhong, vice chairman of the Military Commission, also expressed his support. ”
Jiang Xuesong is the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, and he has always had a good impression of Xia Xiang, and because he has worked with Cao Yongguo for many years, he also admires him.
Lin Huazhong, vice chairman of the Military Commission, Xia Xiang didn't know him, but he didn't need to guess to know that it was an ancient favor. Unexpectedly, Lao Gu's influence is really amazing. Xia Xiang is also very glad that he and Lao Gu have become old friends, from the department level to the vice province, without the support of the military, it is difficult to cross the key step. Even if you barely get in the door, the military does not support it, and it is difficult to gain a foothold.
"But the voice of opposition is still ...... one side" Mei Shengping paused slightly, seeing that Xia Xiang had recovered his calm from the initial surprise, and secretly admired Xia Xiang's ability to control his emotions, anyone who faced the promotion from the main hall to the vice province would be scared, after all, it was too crucial step, he said, "However, Chairman Guan expressed cautious and optimistic support, although the plan has been shelved for the time being, it can be reintroduced at any time, and the key premise is that Wu Caiyang must support." ”
Yes, Wu Caiyang does not support it, and no matter how much others support it, it will not be strong, because Wu Caiyang is the head of the Central Organization Department
Unless the general secretary and the prime minister both express their positions, but the general secretary and the prime minister will not easily take a stand on such a trivial matter, Xia thought about it for a while, and asked a key question: "What is the attitude of the chairman?" ”
Xia Xiang still remembers the chairman of the committee, and in his impression, the chairman seems to have a closer relationship with the prime minister, of course, it is only his personal feelings, in fact, it is difficult to find out the position of politicians, unless the relationship is close to a certain extent.
"I didn't say anything." Mei Shengping let out a long breath, and patted Xia Xiang's shoulder like an old friend, "It's up to you next, as long as you find a way to persuade Wu Caiyang, I can guarantee that there are three or four Politburo members who express their support, and then find the Qiu family to come forward, and they can win two or three votes, the key is that as soon as the Wu family's position changes, if Wu Caiyang agrees, he alone can drive five or six supporters, and then you talk to Fu Xianfeng about the conditions, and then the four families will fully support you, and I don't believe that you can't win a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee...... Unless either the General Secretary or the Prime Minister vetoes you. ”
Although Mei Shengping said it lightly, Xia Xiang felt that it was still very difficult to analyze it simply, because if Wu Caiyang wanted to agree to support him, there would definitely be prerequisites, whether it was harsh or not, even if he and Wu Caiyang reached a compromise, and finally the four major families jointly raised him into the Standing Committee of the Yan Provincial Party Committee, he would also be completely branded with the brand of family power, and from then on, he would be cut off from the common people.
Maybe the general secretary doesn't care very much about his position on the left or right, but the prime minister certainly can't, between the prime minister and the family forces, the contradiction is very deep, it is difficult to resolve for a while, and the political struggle between them has not stopped, after he jumped out of Tianze, on the issue of whether to favor the family power or the civilian force, temporarily eased a lot, but I didn't expect that the position of a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee once again made him face a dilemma.
From the main hall to the vice-provincial government, if you don't have a clear position and don't stand in a good team, there will definitely be no one who will strongly support you. The vice-provincial level is a cadre under the direct control of the central government, and will directly enter the reserve army of the national leader, and must have a clear political stance, otherwise who will be the driving force behind you?
is also the fundamental reason why Wu Caiyang opposes him, when he does not clearly stand with the family forces, Wu Caiyang will definitely not single-handedly push him to the position of vice province because of Lian Ruohan's relationship.
Political deals, especially those at or above the vice-provincial level, do not come with the slightest warmth.
The difficulty is not ordinarily large. He leaned into family power, and the prime minister could veto him. He leaned on the civilian forces, and Wu Caiyang would hold a resolute opposition.
But you have to make a choice, in the face of possible promotion, Xia Xiang is not tempted to be a lie, who doesn't want to rise step by step? Although he is only 32 years old, he can create a promotion with a faster rocket speed than Gu Qiushi, which can also satisfy his vanity to some extent, and he can also leave a name in history.
Merely...... It is really difficult for a 32-year-old secretary of the municipal party committee to operate behind the scenes and a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee. Because with his age and qualifications, what is needed is someone to speak for him at a critical time and pull him along, rather than relying on his own strength.
If you want to, you can't go up, and you can't go up without a ladder.
"Xia Xiang, you have to think about how to take the next step." Mei Shengping saw Xia Xiang's dilemma, "Lao Gu is sick, the prime minister will retire after one term, and now Old Man Wu is still very tough......"
Mei Shengping's hint, how could Xia Xiang not understand? If Lao Gu is no longer alive, he will lose a major pillar, and the prime minister will step down after three years, and his influence will fade quickly, but it is not a problem for Old Man Wu to live for ten or eight years without accident, and the power of the Wu family is still gradually growing.
But it went against his principles and original ideals.
From a political point of view, now the comprehensive tilt towards the interests of the family can indeed ensure the maximization of interests, Xia Xiang is a person in the officialdom, and the first thing to ensure in the officialdom is political interests. To be honest, in the face of great temptations, personal ideals and beliefs are sometimes very thin and weak, because if you don't have enough power in your hands, ideals and beliefs can only be empty talk.
Mei Shengping asked Guan Yuanqu to come forward today, in fact, what he wanted was to make him understand that the era of family power was coming. Whether to go against the tide or go down with the tide is all in one thought.
Xia Xiang suddenly remembered Lian Ruohan, remembered the growing Lenovo Fund - it had nothing to do with Lenovo Computer, it was completely the product of Lian Ruohan's whim - he smiled confidently, even if he used his family power to achieve his political goals, what did it matter? When he really grows into a towering tree, he has enough shade and the ability to call the wind and rain, what difference does it make whether he has the label of family power or the brand of civilian power on his head?
As long as the ideals and blueprints in his mind can be realized, temporary accommodation is nothing. In an instant, Xia Xiang officially made a decision that affected his life, from this moment on, he wanted to label a family force, and as the backbone of a family force, he wanted to make full use of the giant hand of the family power to strive to enter the threshold of the deputy provincial level as soon as possible.
Xia Xiang picked up a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, I am still a student of Chairman Guan, I just wanted to replace the wine with tea and toast him." ”
"Well, Yuanqu just went out to make a phone call, and should be back soon." Mei Shengping also smiled, he knew that Xia Xiang had figured it out, so he shook hands with Xia Xiang, "The most critical step has been taken, Xia Xiang, go with the wind to ensure that the road is smooth." ”
After a while, Guan Yuanqu returned to the room again, and heard that Xia wanted to toast him with tea instead of wine, he happily clinked glasses with Xia Xiang, and said, "If you have a chance to sit down, I'll see how much you can drink." ”
"There is as much alcohol as there is a measure of it." Mei Shengping haha together, "Come, let's have a drink." ”
The three of them toasted together, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.
After Xia wanted to say goodbye to Guan Yuanqu and Mei Shengping, he immediately went to meet Old Man Wu, but he didn't know that in Qin and Tang, another thing happened that was of his interest......
