When in the elevator, Liu Qifeng continued: "I believe that the leadership team of your development zone is a fighting group, but you should be bolder, your steps should be more open, and your eyes should not be limited to the country, but also the international and future." You don't have to have baggage, you have to travel lightly and do it boldly, and report directly to me if you need any support, as long as it is helpful for economic growth, the organization will definitely support it. ”

Li Xiaoning carefully understood Liu Qifeng's words, and he found that in this place, Liu Qifeng did not call "Comrade Yuqiang" anymore, but directly said "the leading group of the development zone", so the object of this remark was naturally all the officials of the development zone present. Moreover, Liu Qifeng said that "the organization will definitely support it" and on the other hand, he seemed to inadvertently "let the development zone report directly to him", which is very interesting, because the governments at all levels in Huaxia have always had a dual leadership system, the municipal party committee is in charge of cadres, and the municipal government is in charge of the economy, and Liu Qifeng is now actually going to "go beyond his bounds", why is this?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning suddenly woke up and said that Liu Qifeng was actually taking the opportunity to win over Zhang Yuqiang, and then thought about it again, maybe Liu Qifeng deliberately did not bring Mao Qiushi to this investment banquet in the development zone today.

In the past two months, Li Xiaoning has gradually learned about some of the situation in Binhai City, and Liu Qifeng, like him, is a "newcomer" to Binhai officialdom. The power cake here has already been shared, and Liu Qifeng has the title of number one, but if he is alone and alone, he will definitely not be able to fight the mayor Xue Guoping.

Recruiting his own batch of college students can be regarded as the first step for Liu Qifeng to cultivate his own power, but after all, he is too young to give Liu Qifeng substantial help for a long time, and he must also think of ways to convert the power scattered in the hands of others into his own power, so as to achieve a new balance of power in the coastal officialdom.

In a sense, there are only two means of power control, one is to use thunderous means to perform surgery to deprive some people of their power; First, in the power structure, we should use such means as promotion, transfer, and normal retirement to make adjustments, complete a new distribution of power, change the original power structure, and achieve a new balance of power. Comparatively speaking, the latter is more gentle, suitable for the stability of society, and more challenging the political wisdom of the controller. In the former, if you are not careful, it may lead to war, and it can be said that there will be endless troubles.

Liu Qifeng is undoubtedly a very clever politician, he did not take the first method, it was too dangerous to do so, but he did not sit still, but in a very artistic way to control the balance of power, he united a force that could be united in Binhai City, forming a force that was enough to balance Xue Guoping.

Regarding the use of power, people tend to make it vulgar, vulgarized, or even mystified. The embodiment of popularization, the theory of class struggle, which was once popular, is the product of reaching its peak. The embodiment of vulgarization, the description of power as a power technique, such as the so-called officialdom thick black science, is the intuitive expression of this concept. Mystification is extremely not mysterious, and the direct way of expression is the so-called theory of clean officials and corrupt officials. Simply dividing officials into clean or corrupt officials actually conceals the essence of officialdom.

What is the essence of officialdom? It's very simple to say, and that's the balance of power. Officialdom is also the superstructure, and any building, only if the internal structure is balanced, can it remain stable, otherwise it will collapse and shatter. And this balance is also a two-way choice process, Liu Qifeng is choosing to attract and cultivate his own forces, and other people in the officialdom of Binhai City are not choosing? After all, Liu Qifeng is the top officially recognized leader of Binhai City.

Before Li Xiaoning could think further, the elevator had stopped with a "ding". When everyone walked in with Liu Qifeng in the crowd, a banquet had already been set up in the banquet hall, and there were more than a dozen tables.

As soon as they saw Liu Qifeng come in, everyone present stood up in unison, some people came over to greet Liu Qifeng, while others estimated that they would not be able to step forward on this occasion, so they were very self-aware and did not come, but looked at the people who followed Liu Qifeng with envy in their eyes.

Zhang Yuqiang introduced Liu Qifeng one by one, Liu Qifeng had a faint smile on his face, and nodded lightly to everyone who came to say hello, but he did not pause at his feet. Looking at the faces full of desire, Li Xiaoning secretly sighed in his heart, these people who worked so hard to say hello to Liu Qifeng don't know how many Liu Qifeng will remember when he wakes up tomorrow morning, but all living beings are still like stinking flies who are willing to flatter and cling to powerful people or pursue money and women......

After entering the hall, Li Xiaoning suddenly woke up to something, and his feet couldn't help but be slightly sluggish. Huaxia is a country that attaches great importance to etiquette, and on occasions like this, the seating order is very particular. Of course, Liu Qifeng said that he is the biggest leader today, and he must be the chief of the first table, Zhang Yuqiang took the main leaders of the four sets of teams of the development zone to sit with him, and the rest of the leaders of the development zone are the chiefs who sit at other tables separately. Li Xiaoning felt embarrassed that he didn't know where he should sit, or whether he was qualified to sit at the table.

Liu Qifeng had already sat down at the first table, and Zhang Yuqiang and the others were also about to sit down, but Liu Qifeng suddenly turned back to Li Xiaoning and said, "Xiao Li, you can sit next to me today, and it is just convenient for you to communicate with the leaders." What do you think? Comrade Yuqiang doesn't have any opinions, right? ”

Liu Qifeng's seemingly random words shocked everyone present, and anyone could see that he was paving the way for the "Xiao Li" in his mouth, and everyone regretted the neglect of this young man just now. Even Zhang Yuqiang secretly choked himself, in fact, when Liu Qifeng got out of the car, he had already found that it was not Mao Qiushi who was following Liu Qifeng, but he didn't think about it deeply, and thought that Mao Qiushi was sick or something, and he temporarily changed to a substitute, now it seems that it is not the same thing at all, this young man must be the object that Liu Qifeng wants to focus on cultivating, maybe it is possible to replace Mao Qiushi. But I don't even know what this "Xiao Li" is called, isn't this the queen mother realizing it?

Li Xiaoning didn't know that the officials of the development zone present had moved a lot of thoughts in an instant, but he also knew very well that Liu Qifeng was helping himself, and while his heart was full of gratitude, he was not idle, walked quickly to Liu Qifeng's side, and said with a smile: "Hello leaders, my name is Li Xiaoning, please take care of it in the future!" Li Xiaoning is talking about the leaders, and his eyes are actually on Zhang Yuqiang, because he knows very well that there are too many people present today, and it is difficult to do everything.

"Hello Secretary Li, welcome to our development zone, my brother wants to have a few more drinks today!" Zhang Yuqiang is worthy of being an old oilman in officialdom, and he has quickly adapted to this change, and while smiling and talking, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Xiaoning. In just two sentences, he used the title of "brother", and his eyes when he looked at Li Xiaoning were a little more affectionate. In doing so, he was not only showing Li Xiaoning his intention to win over, but also showing favor to Liu Qifeng, showing that he valued the person Liu Qifeng liked very much.

"Secretary Zhang is polite!" Li Xiaoning replied with a smile neither humble nor arrogant, he knew very well that Zhang Yuqiang could call him a brother, but he couldn't be so "no big or small". For Zhang Yuqiang's outstretched hand, he didn't shake it. This is because Liu Qifeng is sitting next to him, shaking hands with the secretary of the district party committee, does the district mayor shake hands? The district chief shook it, but did the deputy secretary and deputy district head ** director shake it? Holding it all the way like this, it gives people the feeling that they are not the leader? If this hand is really shaken, maybe the person has not returned to the coast, and he will be beaten back to his original form. He still knows this measure. So he just took advantage of the situation to make a gesture of asking to sit and said, "Secretary Zhang, please take a seat." ”

After everyone sat down, District Mayor Zhao Botao's face turned green, because his seat had already been occupied by someone else, and that person was Li Xiaoning, who was appointed by Liu Qifeng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee!

The seats are all arranged in advance, Zhang Yuqiang sits on the right of Liu Qifeng, he sits on the left of Liu Qifeng, and then the leaders of several other Standing Committee members and the CPPCC are arranged in turn, but now that Li Xiaoning is sitting in his place, the others may not react for a while, and they all sit down, so there is no place for him Zhao Botao!

Zhao Botao stood at the table, and he didn't know what to say, so he was a little embarrassed or embarrassed.

Only then did the people present realize this, and the deputy secretary Yan Zhiqing stood up with interest, vacated his seat, and let Zhao Botao sit, and the people next to him moved their seats one by one, making a small sound. Yang Xu, member of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and director of the District Party Committee Office, hurriedly asked the waiter to add chairs and tableware.

"Forget it, forget it, it's the same when I'm sitting here!" Zhao Botao said nonchalantly, and sat down on the chair that the waiter had just brought over.

Yang Xu knew that Zhao Botao was in love, so he hurriedly played a round and said, "District Chief Zhao, you still have to sit in the middle!" ”

Zhao Botao thought secretly: Since you know in your hearts, what did you do earlier? At this point, Zhao Botao could not blame anyone, nor was he willing to sit in a side seat, so he had to stand up and move over again, and there was a "sparse uproar", which was a bit like the smell of a late person looking for a seat in a movie theater, which was naturally very uncomfortable.

Zhang Yuqiang is also very uncomfortable in his heart, Zhao Botao has always been a little at odds with him, but he didn't expect this Zhao Botao to make trouble in front of the secretary of the municipal party committee, isn't this a slap in the face? He secretly looked at Liu Qifeng's face and found that he was not unhappy, so he was relieved.
