Chapter 66

Ximen County Guoli Hotel today ushered in its foundation day, as the only four-star hotel in Ximen County that is about to start construction, the groundbreaking ceremony of the hotel is undoubtedly very grand, which has attracted the attention of the top party and government leaders of Ximen County, Wang Dongchen, secretary of the county party committee, deputy secretary of the county party committee, Chen Xing, acting county magistrate, and other leaders attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the hotel.

The hotel is located on the edge of the highway outside the shantytown, where there is a large vacant land, and the county government intends to renovate the shantytown, and also wants to carry out large-scale development and construction on this land to develop a new urban area.

Guoli Group obtained the best location of the No. 8 plot here, this vacant land does not need to be demolished, saving a lot of trouble, and the side is the highway leading to Haicheng City, there are many investors who fancy this area, and finally have the strength to persist until the end of the Guoli Group and Zhao's Group two companies from the provincial capital and Hong Kong respectively, the result is that the Guoli Group obtained the No. 8 plot with a slight advantage.

Because the main high-level leaders of the county will attend the groundbreaking ceremony, the standard of the ceremony is also very high, and in the morning, the county public security bureau and the Chengguan Town police station jointly sent people to maintain order in this area.

The groundbreaking ceremony was scheduled for half past nine in the morning, Zhao Guoli, chairman of the national power group, and his entourage had arrived in Ximen last night, and stayed in the Ximen Hotel in the Chenggong Building. Today, it is an important day for Zhao Guoli, Guoli Group is mainly invested in the hotel and real estate industry, these years with his wife Zhao Yiping's connections in the officialdom, Zhao Guoli in the shopping mall although there is no big achievement, but it is also a lot of gains, this time in Ximen smashed a huge amount of money to build a four-star hotel, Zhao Guoli is also determined.

Guoli Group sounds like a loud name, and it is also a little famous in the provincial capital, but it is more because of Zhao Yiping, Zhao Yiping serves as the deputy mayor of the provincial capital, and the business people in the provincial capital more or less have to give Zhang Guoli, the deputy mayor's husband, face.

Now Zhao Yiping has been transferred to Haicheng, obviously, Zhao Guoli also set his sights on Haicheng, this time in Ximen's big money, is Zhao Guoli's first shot, but also spent a lot of effort, Guoli Group is rich, but to come up with three or four billion real money, it is still quite difficult, and the next hotel will start construction, this money can only flow out like flowing water, this time, Zhao Guoli has borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank.

Seeing this, some officials want to ask, didn't the state already issue a document stipulating that the families and children of leading cadres are not allowed to do business within their own jurisdiction? If there is such a question, Yiqiu will laugh, this question can only be said to be strange, the central government has repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed, the "undercurrent" of leading cadres' family members doing business and running enterprises has always been unstoppable, and it is surging bigger and bigger, and even in some places, it is not the "undercurrent" but the "bright current", there are many people whose families of party and government cadres are doing business and running enterprises, there are countless people, the old saying "the right not to use, expired invalid", "the right to expire must also be used", there is a one-official half-job, how many people do not have such an idea in their hearts? People live in the world, it is inevitable that they will have seven emotions and six desires, and they will be bound by all kinds of interpersonal relationships, who has not been able to have three aunts, six aunts, seven aunts and eight aunts, and they have worked hard to find power, not to make themselves and their families live better.

So, is it true that the central government's repeated orders have no effect at all? Not necessarily, as soon as the top is grasped tightly, the bottom will be pretended, at least to do some superficial work, in fact, the cadres know that the rectification is just dry thunder and no rain, let me listen to it, it will be over, who will seriously rectify it? The so-called 'strict prohibition' sounds conclusive, but it is nothing more than a 'speech ban'.

Moreover, the reason why this trend of doing business has been repeatedly unstoppable, in addition to the lack of enforcement with the central government, and the fact that it does not rain with thunder, the most important thing is that there are too many interests involved. Of course, since the central government has issued documents one after another, asking for orders to prohibit it, then most of the following will make a fuss, how to say that it cannot ignore the above 'Wen jiàn spirit', party members and cadres are not just conscious, so there are policies and countermeasures, and many party and government cadres' children and families have turned from the front of the stage to the backstage, but the so-called behind the scenes is just a rhetoric, what the facts are, everyone knows it.

When Zhao Guoli's Guoli Group was founded, Zhao Yiping was not the deputy mayor of the provincial capital, at that time, the Guoli Group was not called the Guoli Group, but the Guoli Company, relying on helping people take over some small projects to survive, not making a lot of money, it can only be said to be half-dead hanging, which is still because Zhao Yiping helped introduce the project, otherwise relying on Zhao Guoli himself, the company would have closed down, although Zhao Yiping was also working hard in the municipal party committee, although he did not have much real power, there were still some people to buy his face, It's okay to take on some small projects.

In those two years, Zhao Yiping waited for Ge Jianming, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee, and finally won the trust and appreciation of the big boss.

Although cadres in the main hall at this age are not very rare, Zhao Yiping is a woman, and she is still in charge of fat, and this limelight is unparalleled for a while, especially when everyone knows that he is a cadre with a Zhou label engraved on his head, Ge Jianming, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the municipal party committee, is well known in the provincial capital, I don't know when there has been such a sentence in Jiangcheng. There is a secretary and no mayor', this is not to say that Jiangcheng does not have a mayor, but under Ge Jianming's strength, the mayor is almost overwhelmed, and people can't help but ignore the fact that Jiangcheng still has a mayor.

As mentioned earlier, Zhao Yiping, a woman, is not only ambitious, but also very strong, to put it mildly, even a little arrogant, as the saying goes, what kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, it can be seen that Zhao Yiping's strength does not come out of thin air, Ge Jianming is one hand covering the sky in the provincial capital Jiangcheng, and the strong is not like words, when Zhao Yiping served as the deputy mayor, he didn't take the mayor much in his eyes, with the support of Ge Jianming's big tree, Zhao Yiping is really active in the political arena of Jiangcheng.

Later, Zhao Yiping was able to be transferred to Haicheng as mayor, and took another key step in his career, which has the reason behind Ge Jianming's operation, you know, Ge Jianming, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, is not a good name, in the ranking of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee, Ge Jianming ranks third, second only to Jiang Min, secretary of the provincial party committee, and Zhang Guohua, governor, and ranks above Liu Jian, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, Zhao Yiping is used to being strong in Jiangcheng, and when he first came to Haicheng, he naturally can't be separated, but Zhou Mingfang, secretary of the Haicheng City Party Committee, is also a strong person, with Zhou Mingfang's achievements in Haicheng, Zhou Mingfang does have strong capital, not to mention the title of a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Zhao Yiping had to touch Zhou Mingfang's tiger buttocks, but the judges also knew that Zhou Mingfang let him toss at first, and then he gave him a wake-up call, if it weren't for Ge Jianming behind Zhao Yiping, Zhou Mingfang would definitely not mind cleaning up Zhao Yiping more ruthlessly.

Before Zhao Yiping served as deputy mayor, the state's regulations on the family members of leading cadres prohibiting them from doing business in their places of office have not yet come out, of course, Zhao Yiping is not a leading cadre at that meeting, and he is still struggling in the municipal party committee, so when Zhao Guoli ran the national power company, the state did not have any relevant regulations that said that the families of cadres could not do business, and it coincided with Zhao Yiping's first year as deputy mayor, and the relevant regulations only came out, but the regulations are regulations, as mentioned above, thunder does not rainThe so-called regulations do not have much deterrent effect, and the cadres below are just listening to them and doing superficial articles.

But at that time, Zhao Yiping could be said to have been 'used' to a strong problem, scoffing at these few black-and-white regulations, and didn't take it to heart, the families of cadres were in business, and the cadres with higher levels and more authority than her didn't know how many family members and children were in business, Zhao Yiping had been in the system for so many years, and she saw these things clearly, knowing that even if this regulation was implemented, that is, the next drizzle, it would not be real, so Zhao Yiping didn't really let her husband do anything.

After so many years, Zhao Guoli's national power company has evolved into a national power group with Zhao Yiping's success, and it has begun to look like it, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, although it is not as good as those large groups with billions of assets at every turn, but it is also a lot of assets, and although the state's articles on the business problems of the children and families of cadres are one after another, Zhao Guoli is still sitting firmly with his chairman of the group, and there is nothing.

Of course, it should be mentioned here that during the past few years, Zhao Guoli once resigned as chairman of the board of directors and retreated to behind-the-scenes control, that time the reason was that a heavyweight leader of the central government became more and more unscrupulous about the business of the children and families of cadres, to the point of being uncontrollable and therefore released cruel words, that time it was still thunder and rain, and Zhao Guoli became more and more blatant, feeling that it was boring to live in seclusion behind the scenes, and he came out again to be his chairman, and after a few years, it has been smooth sailing.

"Dad, you're in good spirits today." In the hotel room, Sun Xiang and his wife Zhao Qing got up to wash and dress up, and then came to Zhao Guoli's room, it is only half past eight, and it is still a little early from the groundbreaking ceremony, and it is only seven or eight minutes from the hotel to the scene of the groundbreaking ceremony.

Sun Xiang himself also runs a company, mainly involved in the real estate business, and also invested in car dealerships, Li Zheng figured out the Guò county government's bus purchase plan at that time, just wanted to tie up with Sun Xiang, and now Li Zheng has become a thing of the past.

"This investment, can be regarded as my business, the largest handiwork, just to shoot the plot of land spent more than 300 million, and then once the hotel starts construction, the later investment is a lot of money, fortunately in these days to take that piece of land to the bank mortgage loan, otherwise the company's capital chain will really be broken." Although Zhao Guoli was smiling, his expression was a little resentful, "If it weren't for the Zhao Group who came to intervene in the end, this land would not have to be won at such a high price, and if no one bids for that land at that time, we can rely on our relationship to put pressure on the county and take the land at a low price, but it's a pity." ”

Zhao Guoli's smile hurt a little, today is a happy day, but as soon as he thought of hundreds of millions of real money going out like this, Zhao Guoli felt that someone had cut a piece of meat on his body, and it hurt a lot.

"I knew that I should have used some more ruthless means at that time, but I didn't believe that I couldn't scare that girl." Kang Fu, the assistant standing next to Zhao Guoli, said with a grim face, that series of panic incidents were completely caused behind his back by Zhao Guoli's instructions.

"Forget it, the matter is over, Dad, don't feel distressed anymore, today is a happy day for you, and when the hotel is completed in the future, I believe there will be a lot of money." Sun Xiang smiled and comforted the old man opposite.

"Even if you really can't make any money in the future, you won't be able to lose money in the future with such a piece of land in your hands." Zhao Qing smiled, "Dad, don't think about it, think about something happy." ”

"Haha, I didn't think much about it, that is, I mentioned it casually, in fact, I was very happy to be able to win this land." Zhao Guoli nodded with a smile, looking at the daughter and son-in-law in front of him, the smile in his eyes was even stronger, he was talented and beautiful, how right, and in recent years, he has seen that the young couple is also very affectionate, Zhao Guoli felt more and more that the original decision was right, fortunately, he was resolutely opposed to his daughter being with Chen Xing at that time, otherwise his daughter may not be as happy as she is now, no matter how you say it, Sun Xiang's family background is the right one with his own family, Chen Xing's ordinary family also wants to climb their Zhang family, that is a toad who wants to eat swan meat.

Thinking about it, Zhao Guoli unconsciously thought of the past incident of breaking up Chen Xing and Zhao Qing a few years ago, and felt that the original approach was correct.

"Dad, what are you thinking?" Zhao Guoli was thinking, Zhao Qing and Sun Xiang were talking to him, Zhao Guoli didn't hear it at all, Zhao Qing couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Huh? It's okay, it's okay. Zhao Guoli was stunned for a moment, his eyes slipped around his daughter and son-in-law a few times, and he returned to normal, and suddenly pondered inexplicably in his heart, and said that Sun Xiang's father is also the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, who is in charge of the official hat, and the authority in his hand is so heavy that it is needless to say, but he is in this position, and it is not easy to go up if he wants to go up in the future, Zhou Mingfang is still in the prime of life, when will Sun Xiang's father be able to survive.

The door of the room creaked open from the outside again, Lin Mao rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked in, looked at Zhao Guoli and the others, and said with a smile, "I said that your family got up really early, isn't it a groundbreaking ceremony, look at you got up early in the morning." ”

This time, Zhao Guoli came to Ximen to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the hotel, Zhao Qing and Sun Xiang came over when they were idle, Lin Mao also happened to hear Sun Xiang mention this, and asked carefully, Ximen County is not the county where Chen Xing was the county magistrate, Lin Mao shouted to come over to join in the fun, as for what he thought in his heart, only Lin Mao himself knew.

"Go, what do you kid know, this time your Uncle Zhao smashed all his net worth, you said you don't pay attention to it." Zhao Guoli scolded with a smile, seeing Lin Mao walk in without knocking on the door, he didn't feel anything wrong, Zhang and Lin both belonged to the Zhou faction cadres in Jiangcheng, and when Zhao Yiping served as the deputy mayor, the two families got closer, and Zhao Guoli treated Lin Mao as a junior, and he didn't see much when he talked and did things.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I have a hunch that if you build this hotel, your business will definitely be prosperous, and your fortune will be rolling, and you will definitely make money when the time comes." Lin Mao patted his chest seriously.

"I see that you kid doesn't do his job all day long, when did you take charge of the magic stick." Zhao Guoli shook his head with a smile, the other party said this, he was actually very happy in his heart.

"Uncle Zhao, look at what you said, you look at me like a god stick, I'm telling you seriously, if your hotel business is not good, then it will be unreasonable, I believe that Uncle Zhao will be able to make a lot of money, and when the time comes, I will pull guests from the provincial capital to Ximen every day to cheer you up." Lin Mao smiled and sat on the sofa casually, he had a lot of fox friends and dog friends, and it was not difficult to bring some guests over.

"Come on, then your friends toss back and forth with you all day for two or three hundred kilometers, and they don't cry all of them." Zhao Guoli shook his head with a smile.

A few people were talking, Zhao Guoli's mobile phone rang, seeing the caller ID, Zhao Guoli's face was a little proud, it was Wang Dongchen, the secretary of the county party committee, who called, Zhao Guoli picked up the phone, smiled and said a few words, and hung up the phone, with a stronger look of smugness on his face, "Wang Dongchen said that he wanted to come and sit down, Assistant Kang, you go to the door to watch, if Wang Dongchen arrives, you make a gesture, how can you say that the other party is also a county party secretary, since people come to the door in person, we also have to give him some face." ”

Although Zhao Guoli said so, the look on his face was very casual, the other party was the number one in Ximen, and in his eyes, it was just Erer, he really didn't put the other party in his eyes, so he rushed to the other party's age, after finishing this secretary, I am afraid that it will almost take a back seat, there is no potential to be tapped, Zhao Guoli is not very eye-catching, but now he is doing business in Ximen, and there is no harm in having a good relationship with the other party by the way.

"The secretary of the county party committee has come to visit, Uncle Zhao, your face is really big." Lin Mao smiled and flattered Zhao Guoli, rolled his eyes, and said, "Why didn't I see this kid Chen Xing come to visit, he is even bigger than the secretary of the county party committee." ”

Lin Mao said this, and at this moment, Kang Fu also nodded at Zhao Guoli at the door, Zhao Guoli stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go, go out to greet someone." ”

Zhao Guoli's so-called greeting is nothing more than walking to the door of the room, so big, Wang Dongchen is not afraid to be half dissatisfied, people just have this capital, seeing Zhao Guoli standing there with a smile, Wang Dongchen sped up a few steps and greeted him with a smile, "Zhao Dong, hello, hello." ”

"Secretary Wang, the groundbreaking ceremony will begin, and I will ask you to run to me, it should be me to visit you."

Wang Dongchen shook the other party's hand tightly a few times, but he sneered in his heart, if the other party would take the initiative to go to his office, unless the sun came out in the west, Zhao Guoli's arrogance, he could experience it for the first time, Wang Dongchen was really a little disdainful of the other party in his heart, isn't it just a man who relies on his wife to make a fortune, to say that it is ugly to eat soft rice, what do you have to say, leaving Zhao Yiping, I don't even have time to pee on you, Wang Dongchen thought so in his heart, but the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic,

"It's not that there is nothing to do in the office, I just want to come to Chairman Zhao to sit here, Chairman Zhao has made a great contribution to the development of our Ximen, no matter what my local parents say, I have to represent the people of Ximen and be close to you."

If you say it, Wang Dongchen said it without blinking, Sun Xiang and Zhao Qing, who were standing behind Zhao Guoli, glanced at each other, with a contemptuous smile in their eyes, a county party secretary didn't have to slap them like this, as for Lin Mao who was further behind, he pouted with disdain.

Wang Dongchen saw the faces of several young people, and pretended not to know, some talked and laughed and walked inside with Zhao Guoli, after some greetings, a few people re-seated, Lin Mao sat with his legs crossed, I don't know where to grope out a nail clipper, trimming his nails, directly when there is no Wang Dongchen, Wang Dongchen's eyes inadvertently swept over Lin Mao, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, Zhao Guoli turned his head, saw Lin Mao's movements, his face was also slightly stiff, and he coughed heavily, Lin Maocai put away the nail clippers under Sun Xiang's eyes.

Chen Xing came out of the county government at a quarter past nine in the morning, and when he arrived at the scene of the groundbreaking ceremony, Wang Dongchen and Zhao Guoli almost walked on Chen Xing's heels, and saw the two coming together, Chen Xing's eyes were slightly condensed, for Sun Xiang and Zhao Qing behind, Chen Xing automatically filtered, and to this day, Chen Xing's feelings will not fluctuate, only when his eyes fell on Lin Mao, Chen Xing's face was a little stunned at first, and then, a trace of cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Secretary Wang, Dong Zhao." Chen Xing walked up casually, greeted the two with a smile, and when he saw the smug smile on Zhao Guoli's face, Chen Xing's heart was a little unhappy, Li Zheng's case did not seem to have half an impact on Zhao Guoli, but Zhao Guoli has Zhao Yiping, a mayor's wife, and it is normal not to be affected by Li Zheng's case, just looking at Zhao Guoli's appearance, it seems that he didn't mean to help Li Zheng get out, and today can have this groundbreaking ceremony, if it weren't for Li Zheng's contribution to Zhao Guoli in land bidding, Presumably, today's groundbreaking ceremony has to become the Zhao Group.

"I remember the last time Chairman Zhao came, but County Magistrate Li accompanied him throughout the whole process, today is such an important day, if County Magistrate Li is still here, he will definitely come to participate, it's a pity." Chen Xing glanced at Zhao Guoli with a smile and said abruptly.

The smile on Zhao Guoli's face instantly stiffened, the look on his face was slightly unnatural, his eyes stared at Chen Xing for a moment, and said regretfully, "I always thought that County Magistrate Li was a good official who was diligent and loved the people, but I didn't expect him to do something like that, this person is really unseemly, some people look innocent, who knows that it will be a corrupt official, some people look young and have a great future, who knows if they will miss in the future?" Chen County, don't you say? ”

"Okay, the ceremony is about to begin, let's go over first, it's not like standing here." Seeing that the words of the two were a little gunpowder, Wang Dongchen hurriedly interjected with a smile, and glanced at Chen Xing with some surprise, Wang Dongchen didn't know what the relationship between the two had before, and when he saw the two meeting today, there was a little smell of gunpowder for no reason, Wang Dongchen was really strange in his heart, his eyes lingered on the two, Wang Dongchen was thoughtful.
