Chapter 288: Deliberation
In the afternoon, the process of the establishment of the Liu Huiyun Charity Foundation and the content of the speech in the process were placed on the desk of Xu Jian'an, director of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, and carefully read the whole report. One of my ideas is to build 100 primary schools in remote mountainous areas of the mainland within five years, and increase to 500 within ten years, but there are many problems involved, and it is still necessary to consult with the relevant departments of the mainland before we can determine how to start - this sentence seems to be no problem, it is simply telling a fact, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is Gu Chen expressing some of his dissatisfaction.
After pondering for a while, he asked his secretary to summon Vice President Huang Zuowen and Minister of Security Li Jianguo, who was nominally the head of the Hong Kong branch but was actually the head of the branch of the Central Ministry of State Security in Hong Kong.
The two of them happened to be in the club, and they came after a while, and he let the two of them read the report separately: "If you have any opinions from the society, you can all talk about them." ”
Huang Zuowen squeaked in his mouth and said: "This is rich, and it is 1 billion US dollars, how do I feel that his pocket is like a money printing machine, no matter how much he can't take it out, and it is all US dollars." However, this foundation is a good thing for the country, as it can reduce the burden on the central health care system. And the educational foundation he set up in Ningbo would be a good thing if it really expanded. 500 primary schools in 10 years, how many poor children can enter the school, and it can also reduce the financial burden of the central government. Spend more financial resources on economic development. ”
Li Jianguo put the report back on Xu Jian'an's desk, frowned slightly, and said: "I don't think things are so simple, from this report, it can be seen that this Xiangjiang man is not very satisfied with some of our systems, and he obviously doesn't want to donate money directly to government agencies, and then the government agencies will handle all matters as a whole, do you think the central government will agree to operate it himself?" Even if the supreme chief agrees. What about the departments underneath? What about local governments? There are too many interests involved, and a little mishandling can lead to chaos. ”
Hearing this, Huang Zuowen's brows also furrowed. He is also a mixed officialdom, and he is naturally clear about some of the rules and unspoken rules in it, to put it mildly, if Gu Chen donates 100 million US dollars to the country to build a primary school in a remote mountainous area. At the end of the day, it would be nice to have $10 million or 20 million to build an elementary school. With such a big interest, government departments at all levels, from the central to the local, will try their best to intervene.
At this time, Xu Jian'an said: "This time, the work of this charitable foundation in the mainland is expected to be carried out in cooperation with the World Health Organization, and the problem is not big. However, if the education foundation donates its funds directly to the state, it is certain that it will be embezzled and misappropriated at all levels. This will undoubtedly have an extremely bad impact, you should know how much the Dao Central Committee attaches importance to Gu Chen now, and tell me what should be done about this matter? ”
Huang Zuowen groaned and said, "Now that the central government attaches so much importance to Gu Chen, if the education foundation under Gu Chen's name can be allowed to carry out its own work, it would be a great way to enhance understanding." A good opportunity to bring the relationship closer to the two sides, but unfortunately the Tao inside is too complicated. It's not that easy to figure it out. I think it's useless for us to think about it here, so we can just report it and let the people above have a headache. ”
Li Jianguo nodded and agreed: "Vice President Huang is right, this matter has long exceeded our authority, just report it directly." ”
The two deputies said this, Xu Jian'an did not hesitate, and immediately picked up the red encrypted phone on the desk to call his immediate boss, Li Kangle, director of the Hong Kong-Macao Office, and the phone rang twice and was connected: "Hello Director Li, I have something urgent to report to you......
After reporting the situation, Xu Jian'an hung up the phone and said, "Director Li told us to wait for news." After speaking, I found that the two deputies were still standing, and hurriedly got up and greeted: "Look at me, all sit, don't stand still, yesterday my wife just sent me some Fujian Tieguanyin over, although it is old tea but it tastes good, I will brew it for you to taste, and when you will go back, you will take half a catty back by the way,"
Huang Zuowen said with a smile: "That dare is good, or my sister-in-law is virtuous, I will send you something at two ends in three days, which is like me, it is rare to see something sent over for most of the year." ”
The three of them sat down around a coffee table, Xu Jian'an joked while operating the tea set to make kung fu tea: "It's different, your sister-in-law knows that I can't take care of myself in life, so I have to be so attentive, if I were like you and Jianguo, I would not have such treatment." ”
Li Jianguo also smiled: "According to what you say, our advantages have become disadvantages?" However, it is not possible to engage in intelligence work like mine, and it is not possible to have a clear structure. ”
Wash the teacup...... Tea Wash ...... Brew with boiling water...... Tea...... After a while, three cups of fragrant tea were baked, Xu Jian'an picked up the tea and shook it lightly on the tip of his nose, a fragrance suddenly rushed into his nostrils, and his brain couldn't help but feel refreshed, and then put it on his lips and drank it gently, only to feel that his mouth was fragrant and the aftertaste was endless, and he couldn't help but ask the other two: "How is it, it's not bad, right?" ”
Li Jianguo nodded and said, "Yes, fragrant and sweet, you can't buy this kind of good tea on the market, or you are blessed, my sister-in-law's family grows tea." ”
Xu Jian'an smiled and turned the conversation to the topic: "Since you are all here today, help me come up with ideas, the day before yesterday when I was reporting to work, Director Li once again emphasized to me that among the many Hong Kong tycoons and celebrities, we should focus on winning over Gu Chen, but Gu Chen and I have no friendship and no chance to meet, and there is no way to carry out the work, during this time I even want to turn my hair white." ”
Huang Zuowen sneered and said: "I think this Gu Chen is completely an evil capitalist, playing with women's feelings and building a huge and luxurious manor for his own enjoyment, and the newspapers actually praise him and call him the pride of Hong Kong, which is really disgusting." ”
Seeing that Huang Zuowen began to be cynical again, Li Jianguo said: "Hong Kong is originally a capitalist society, and there are many capitalists with three wives and four concubines. In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are capitalists or not, as long as they have their hearts set on the motherland and are willing to contribute to the motherland, everything else can be ignored. ”
Xu Jian'an added tea to the teacups of the three of them, and said: "Jianguo is right, you should put away your composition, Zheng Gongdu has proposed a two-system, how can it be that the capitalists are evil, and one of the focuses of our work is to connect with the patriots in Hong Kong, let alone have this kind of thinking." Of course, it doesn't matter if you say it in front of me and Jianguo, you can't show it outside. ”
The three of them are old friends, so Huang Zuowen didn't pay attention to the criticism of Li Jianguo and Xu Jian'an, and said: "I just can't get used to whining, you said that none of those beautiful actresses in Hong Kong are not unclear with him, and their lives are too erosive." ”
"Hehe, I can see that you are purely jealous." Li Jianguo pointed at Huang Zuowen's playful smile on his face, but Huang Zuowen's face did not change: "Am I guilty of being jealous of him, but I often feel that the world is declining, and women's eyes are getting into the eyes of money." ”
Xu Jian'an sighed and said: "Capitalist society is like this, everything is based on money, so it is better to be communist." Don't talk about this, whether there is a problem with his Gu Chen's personal style or not has nothing to do with us, what we have to care about now is how to get closer to him. ”
At this time, Huang Zuowen and Li Jianguo stopped talking, and they didn't have anything to do, the office fell silent all of a sudden, and after a while, Li Jianguo said: "I think we should still ask Mr. Huo for help, Mr. Huo has always had a close relationship with our party, and I believe he will help." ”
Huang Zuowen shook his head and said: "It's right to ask Mr. Huo for help, but there must always be a name, is it that asking Mr. Huo for help is to chat with Gu Chen?" ”
Xu Jian'an nodded and said, "If you want to recruit Mr. Huo for help, there must always be an explanation" After a moment of silence, he then said to Li Jianguo: "Jianguo, didn't the Ministry of State Security's investigation materials on Gu Chen say that Gu Chen's grandmother and two uncles were innocently persecuted to death during the Cultural Revolution. I have an idea if I can rehabilitate his grandmother and uncle, so that he will definitely be grateful to the party. ”
Li Jianguo said pertinently: "It's not necessarily grateful, but it's okay to get closer to the relationship between the two sides, but the innocent persecution and death in the Cultural Revolution are not only his grandmother and two uncles and grandfathers, if you really do this, the involvement will be wide, and the impact can be big or small, will the central government agree?" ”
Huang Zuowen said: "That's right, there are hundreds of thousands of people who died in that special era, and if you really want to be rehabilitated, it will inevitably have a huge social impact, and it is also very troublesome to operate." Besides, no matter how important Gu Chen is, he is just a businessman, and the central government may not be willing to work so hard for him. So I think we'd better think of another way, after all, it's too much involved. ”
Li Jianguo groaned slightly, unable to express his different opinions: "Gu Chen now has a huge influence in Hong Kong, in order to ensure the smooth return of Hong Kong in ten years, no matter how much effort it takes, it is worth it, I think this method can be reported to Director Li and ask for his opinion."
