As mentioned earlier, Beiguo City is an economically strong city, and its economic strength ranks among the top three in the province. However, if calculated according to the population, Beiguo City is a small city, ranking fourth from the bottom among the 19 prefectures and cities in Central Plains Province, and the total population is less than half of the two major economic cities of the provincial capital, Zhongzhou City and Tianyang City. The main reason why Beiguo City can rank among the top three economic cities in the province with a small population is because Beiguo City is a famous ceramic base in the country, and the ceramic industry is very developed, and its contribution to the city's economy is very large.

As a county under the jurisdiction of Beiguo City, the ceramic industry of Baiqiang County is also very developed, and the strength of several large private ceramic companies in the county is almost catching up with several large ceramic companies in Beiguo City. It can even be said that the ceramic industry of Baiqiang County can compete with the ceramic industry of Beiguo City, and the sum of the two accounts for almost 90% of the output value of the ceramic industry in Beiguo City.

But who would have thought that just ten years ago, Baiqiang County was still an agricultural county dominated by agricultural production, with industrial output value accounting for less than 10 percent of national production, and its economic strength ranked first in Beiguo City? And the reason why Baiqiang County can have such brilliant achievements today has to mention one person, that is, the former county magistrate of Baiqiang County, He Zhichun.

He Zhichun is a native of Baiqiang County, graduated from Northwestern Polytechnical University with a major in silicate, and was assigned to the first ceramic factory in Beiguo City as a technician, and was promoted all the way, and finally became the director of the first ceramic factory in Beiguo City. Because of the appreciation of the former Beiguo Municipal Party Committee, he was transferred to Baiqiang County ten years ago as the deputy county magistrate in charge of industry, and a year later, he was promoted to executive deputy county magistrate, and after less than two years in the position of executive deputy county magistrate, he became the county magistrate of Baiqiang County.

Because he was born in ceramics, He Zhichun arrived in Baiqiang County, and vigorously developed the ceramic industry, and several major ceramic companies in the county "were all invited by him to the famous ceramic base Chancheng in eastern Guangdong Province." Compared with several major ceramic companies in Beiguo City, the ceramic companies in Baiqiang County are mostly joint ventures and private enterprises, and the management system and business philosophy are far more advanced and flexible than state-owned enterprises, and Chancheng ceramics lead the domestic ceramic atmosphere first, these ceramic businessmen to Baiqiang County to invest in the construction of factories, the advanced production technology and production technology of Chancheng, as well as the advanced management mode have been brought over, so the ceramic industry in Baiqiang County will develop from scratch, from small to large, from large to strong, and develop rapidly" And there is a momentum of catching up with several major ceramic companies in the supermarket. Correspondingly, the strong and vigorous development of the ceramic industry has effectively driven the economic and social development of Baiqiang County, and more importantly, provided employment opportunities for the labor force of Baiqiang County. Compared with digging in the yellow earth, the income of working in a factory is seven or eight times or even ten times higher, and the living standards of the people in Baiqiang County have been rapidly improved, and even in some respects, the consumption power of the people in Baiqiang County is even higher than that of the citizens of Beiguo City.

Don't forget to dig wells!

Baiqiang County has become a well-known wealthy county, and the people will naturally not forget the leader who led them to this point, He Zhichun. What's more, He Zhichun is still a cadre born and raised in their whitewall county? In addition, He Zhichun is a very decent person who has never engaged in any crooked ways, so it is easy for such a cadre to win the support of the common people. Therefore, He Zhichun's reputation in Baiqiang County is very good, especially among the local cadres in Baiqiang County, He Zhichun has an unusual prestige.

However, He Zhichun has a shortcoming, that is, he is not sophisticated enough to be a man, and he does not know how to turn around. This is also almost a common problem of leaders from technical cadres: "they can only do practical things, or they only like to do practical things, and neglect or disdain other things." Such a cadre, when there are leaders above who appreciate you, will naturally cover you "as a shield for you, and at the moment there are open guns and hidden arrows." But when the leader who appreciates you leaves, it is equivalent to losing the big tree that shelters you from the wind and rain" At this time, all kinds of open guns and hidden arrows have found the target and fired at you in turn, even if you have three heads and six arms, how can you resist?

This was the case with He Zhichun, three years after he was promoted to the magistrate of Baiqiang County, the secretary of the Beiguo Municipal Party Committee who appreciated him was transferred to other provinces, and He Zhichun also lost his asylum. Originally, with his ability and political achievements, when he was re-elected in the first two years, he should have been promoted to the number one and served as the secretary of the county party committee of Baiqiang County, but in the end, He Zhichun was still pressed to the position of the county magistrate of Baiqiang County.

For this result, the local cadres in Baiqiang County were very dissatisfied with it, and they were unhappy for He Zhichun. But as far as He Zhichun himself is concerned, although he is a little disappointed, he doesn't care too much about this. In any case, he still stayed in the position of the magistrate of Baiqiang County, and it took him a few years to make the ceramic industry of Baiqiang County from scratch, from there to strong, and catch up with Beiguo City, so it will take a few more years to let the ceramic industry of Baiqiang County surpass Beiguo City, and even get rid of Beiguo City, and catch up with Chancheng City, the first ceramic base in eastern Guangdong Province, is not impossible.

So He Zhichun quickly adjusted from his frustration and devoted his energy to his work, but he ignored one situation, that is, the political situation in Baiqiang County was completely different from before. In the past, although he occasionally had a sister, but in most cases he still supported his work, the secretary of the county party committee was transferred, and the new secretary of the county party committee was also a very strong leader, with a strong sense of power and control, and many things in the county, "including economic affairs, have their own ideas."

He Zhichun himself has no desire for power, and after being the county magistrate for so many years, he rarely expresses his opinions on other affairs in the county except for economic affairs. However, when it comes to the scope of economic affairs, He Zhichun is unexpectedly tough, and his opinions and suggestions are almost inaccessible to others.

So the conflict between Xin Kuangming and He Zhichun inevitably broke out. At the beginning of the conflict, He Zhichun clearly had the upper hand, and with the popularity and prestige he had accumulated over the years, most of the cadres, especially the cadres of Baiqiang County, who had the majority of station cadres, were on He Zhichun's side. In this way, Xin Kuangming's proposal was either not approved by the Standing Committee of the county party committee, or even if it was passed, the cadres below could not carry it out, and in the end, Xin Kuangming's proposal and plan ended without a hitch.

However, Xin Kuangming is the leader of the county party committee after all, and he has a natural leadership advantage over He Zhichun, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate, and he has extremely rich experience in political struggle, although the situation was very unfavorable to him at the beginning, Xin Kuangming did not feel frustrated at all. Yes, "He Zhichun has the right place and people, but he has the right time. Compared with the county magistrate, he, the secretary of the county party committee, has the power to convene the standing committee of the county party committee, the power to formulate the agenda of the committee, and the power to shelve or vote on the proposals and proposals of the standing committee members. That is to say, as the "book" of the county party committee, "Xin Qianming can choose to convene the Standing Committee when the situation is strong, and start a war with He Zhichun at the Standing Committee: in the case of unfavorable circumstances, he can shelve He Zhichun's proposal and choose a truce." There is also the option to go to war that way, to war on that side. All of this is in the hands of him, the secretary of the county party committee, and He Zhichun, as a deputy, can only sigh at this.

So Xin Kuangming skillfully used the asymmetrical power in his hands to "choose different breakthroughs based on the situation, and compete with He Zhichun little by little, and gradually eat away at He Zhichun's advantages in silence." After more than two years of ingenious layout, in Baiqiang County, "Xin Kuangming can completely compete with He Zhichun, and even in most cases, Xin Kuangming will have some upper hand when facing He Zhichun."

However, it is also quite difficult for Xin Kuangming to completely gain the upper hand, after all, in Whitewall County, local cadres account for the majority. However, He Zhichun's popularity and prestige among local cadres "are far from being replaced by Xin Guoming, an outsider." Therefore, the political situation in Baiqiang County is not embarrassed or embarrassed, the east wind cannot overwhelm the west wind, and the west wind is powerless to shake the east wind. In terms of personnel and party affairs, Xin Guoming occupies the initiative, but in economic affairs, it is He Zhichun who occupies the main position" Xin Guoming's influence is quite limited.

For Xin Jingming, who has considerable ambition and ambition and decides to do a big job in Baiqiang County, this situation is absolutely unbearable, and he must find a way to reverse this situation.

The opportunity finally made Xin Kuangming wait. In the first two years, under the initiative of He Zhichun, Baiqiang County passed the planning of the construction of the new city, "After nearly two years of construction, the new urban area of Baiqiang County began to take shape, and everything went smoothly according to He Zhichun's original vision" However, an unexpected situation changed the situation of affairs. The main road leading from the old city to the new city was met with unexpected resistance and was blocked by the factory building of a company.

This enterprise is a military factory that has been out of production for many years, and when it was making plans, the county also sent people to negotiate with the person in charge of this military factory, and gave full compensation for the demolished warehouses of the military factory, and this amount of money had already been paid, but they did not expect that when it came time to demolish it, the military factory suddenly repented and demanded that the county pay compensation five times the amount of the negotiation. The matter was reported to He Zhichun, and He Zhichun was very surprised at the time, not expecting that after signing the contract and getting the compensation, the military factory could regret it. If it was an ordinary enterprise, whether it was a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, He Zhichun would have commanded Ren to forcibly demolish it. But the other party is a military enterprise, so He Zhichun has to think carefully.

Just when He Zhichun was thinking hard about which channel to find to do the work of the military factory, the demolition personnel of the engineering headquarters clashed with the personnel of the military industrial enterprise, and several employees of the other party were also hit. At this moment, the nature of the matter changed, and it became a contradiction between the military and the locality. In particular, although the scale of this enterprise is not large, it is subordinate to the General Logistics Department, and the matter was arrested in the capital at once, and the capital personally sent personnel down to investigate, and the local people naturally did not dare to slack off......

Xin Kuangming naturally would not let go of this great opportunity sent by God, and aimed the spearhead at He Zhichun, who was also the commander-in-chief of the engineering headquarters. Even though those things were done by people under the engineering headquarters, and He Zhichun, the county magistrate and commander-in-chief, was completely unaware, He Zhichun absolutely could not shirk this direct leadership responsibility.

In order to give an explanation to the military, and because of the attitude of the number one leader in Baiqiang County, the handling opinions soon came out, and He Zhichun, as the commander-in-chief of the engineering headquarters, was directly responsible for this matter, and decided to give him an administrative demerit punishment, remove him from his post as deputy secretary of the Baiqiang County Party Committee and county magistrate, and transfer him to the Party School of the Beiguo City Party Committee as vice president.

This incident happened more than ten days ago, and the punishment of He Zhichun was only issued five days ago. After He Zhichun was transferred, "the vacant position of the magistrate of Baiqiang County became a sweet spot, and many people were staring at it." The "book" of the county party committee of Baiqiang County recorded the name of Xin, and even wanted to recommend himself to take over the post of county magistrate. All of a sudden, the magistrate of Whitewall County became the focus of wrestling among the factions.

Meng Heyuan has only been in Beiguo City for a little more than a week, and he is basically a black eye, let alone establish his own political power. Therefore, there is no idea at all about the vacated whitewall county magistrate.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Zhengwei, the secretary of the Beiguo Municipal Party Committee, took the initiative to ask for his opinion in the end, "asking him if there is a suitable candidate to be the magistrate of Baiqiang County." In this case, Meng Heyuan tried to recommend Lin Yuanfang, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would unanimously approve it, and in the end, Lin Yuanfang really became the deputy secretary of the Baiqiang County Party Committee and the acting county magistrate.

Of course, "because Meng Heyuan is still short to serve as mayor of Beiguo City, some of the above situations in Baiqiang County he knows, and some of them he doesn't know at all." Therefore, although he also thought that the situation in Baiqiang County was complicated, he did not know that the actual situation was far more complicated than he imagined. If he fully understood the complexity of the situation in Baiqiang County, he would not recommend Lin Yuanfang to Baiqiang County to serve as the acting county magistrate."

After listening to some of the information introduced by Meng Heyuan, Lin Yuanfang had a number in his heart. His task in Baiqiang County this time is very arduous, first, he has rejected the person nominated by Xin Guoming in the county party committee's "book", and Xin Qianming will definitely have some thoughts about him: second, He Zhichun did such a good job in Baiqiang County, but in the end he ended up with such a fate, the people of Baiqiang County and even those local cadres who support him will definitely have great opinions, and as He Zhichun's successor, he will inevitably become their target......

In this case, if he Lin Yuanfang wants to make some achievements, it will definitely not be easy!

"Far away, don't worry. Everything has me! Meng Heyuan seemed to see Lin Yuanfang's worries, and reached out and patted Lin Yuanfang's shoulder, "If you really encounter any problems that can't be solved, go to the city to find me." As long as you, Brother Meng, are still the mayor of Beiguo City, he will support you! ”

"Brother Meng, with your words, I am relieved." Lin Yuanfang smiled and raised his glass to thank Meng Heyuan, but he knew in his heart, "I am absolutely embarrassed to cause trouble to Meng Heyuan." After all, he is also an acting mayor who has only been in office for a few days, and his foothold is not stable. One of them is the acting mayor and the other is the acting county magistrate, and they really went together.

After drinking the send-off wine of his classmates, Lin Yuanfang took Chen Huaibing's car to Zhongzhou Long-distance Central Station, Chen Huaibing insisted on sending Lin Yuanfang to Beiguo City, but was reprimanded by Lin Yuanfang with a straight face, and then reluctantly drove back to Deng Nan.

Sitting in the bus waiting area of the waiting room, Lin Yuanfang took out a book of Baiqiang County statistics made by his classmates from the Provincial Bureau of Statistics, leaned on his seat and looked at it carefully.

Beiguo City is the third economically strong city in the Central Plains Province, and the economic strength of Baiqiang County ranks second among the subordinate districts and counties of Beiguo City, second only to the industrially developed Taihang District of Beiguo City. Regardless of the rest, in this regard alone, Lin Yuanfang is still promising to serve as the county magistrate in Baiqiang County.

After reading the statistics for more than an hour, Lin Yuanfang had a general understanding of the situation in Baiqiang County. Just as Meng Heyuan said, the economic strength of this small county, which has a population of only 320,000, is absolutely not to be underestimated, and last year's fiscal revenue reached an astonishing 120 million yuan, and its financial resources are not weaker than that of Deng Nan County. You must know that the financial revenue of Dengnan County, that is, after the introduction of Chuangge Company from Lin Yuanfang, has increased rapidly, if according to the previous data, Dengnan County is less than one-fifth of Baiqiang County!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanfang was full of admiration for He Zhichun in his heart, no wonder this He Zhichun County Magistrate He has such a high opinion in Baiqiang County! To bring a small county with a predominantly agricultural population to this point today would never have been possible without excellent ability and the spirit of doing things in a down-to-earth manner. It's a pity that such a practical cadre ended up like this. Lin Yuanfang admired He Zhichun, but also couldn't help but feel full of regret for He Zhichun.

The car traveled all the way north, crossed the Yellow River, turned west, and walked for about two hours to arrive at Beiguo City. Lin Yuanfang got out of the bus station, waved a taxi, and asked the driver to drive to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. According to the principle of cadre management, Lin Yuanfang first had to report to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and then the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee would decide when he would take office.

The Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee is located in the compound of the Municipal Party Committee, which is an inconspicuous three-story building, surrounded by green trees, Lin Yuanfang asked the doorman and knew that the Cadre Section of the Organization Department was on the second floor, so he walked up the stairs and found the Cadre Section located in the eastern half of the corridor.

The door of the cadre section was ajar, and Lin Yuanfang saw a few people chatting inside, and shook his head slightly. The officialdom is like this, and I don't know when I can get rid of it. He stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Excuse me, is the head of the cadre section here?" ”！ ……！
