"My comrades-in-arms went to my mother-in-law's house in the countryside, I didn't expect you to come over today, and you are rushing here."

"Forget it, let him stop rushing. You can drive it for me for a few more days. Comrade Yufeng, I'm going to ask for housing first, please prepare a car for me, I'll use it tomorrow. ”

"Secretary, the driver of car No. 1 has passed with Secretary Yang, and it will take a few days to come back, and it has not been maintained. Why don't you get another one? ”

"The license plate doesn't matter, you see I'm in Yihe, and I didn't take the No. 1 car. But the car must be in good condition, I can't sit still in the office, so I have to go down often. ”

"Secretary, the Audi cars of the municipal party committee have been bought for 4 years and have run more than 60,000 kilometers, and the condition of the car can only be said to be general. I've arranged to send it for maintenance, and I can use it tomorrow. ”

"Okay, that's fine. You go get busy, I'm leaving. ”

After getting in the car and setting off, Xu Zhengliang said: "Boss, I see that these Audi cars are all joint venture brands, I will buy an imported one for you, and go to the auto repair factory to replace the old car shell." ”

"It's a good idea, but I don't want you to send it, how much money do you have?"

"You can still afford to send a few million."

", you don't know my rules, do you?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go find Huang Ke and let him get it, okay?"

called Liu Qingyuan: "Secretary, the municipal party committee has no housing here, and I am looking for you for help." ”

"You're the deputy secretary, so you should have been given housing. However, I don't know the situation on the side of the provincial party committee, and there are still a few sets on the side of the provincial government, and Comrade Daqi asked for two. You go and ask for two sets. Buy or rent it yourself, and I'll call Wang Weimin. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Secretary, why are there two sets?" ”

Liu Qingyuan said with a smile: "The main leaders of other provinces and cities. They all live in villas, and when building new houses, Secretary Hong does not agree to build villas, and if the area is larger, he does not agree, and if there are redundant houses, they will have to have two sets. Secretary Hong must also know about this, just turn a blind eye. ”

"Good. Then thank you, I'll go to Secretary-General Wang. ”

"If the decoration is better, maybe I will have to stay in the provincial capital for a few years in the future."

"Thank you, Secretary Jiyan."

Find Wang Weimin. Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Liu has already called, I have prepared the key, you can come with me." ”

The two of them reached the back of the office building, and in front of them stood two tall buildings side by side. Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Li. The provincial party committee and provincial government residences that were newly built last year. All have canceled the form of villas, all of which are such apartment-style houses. Behind these two buildings, there is a larger leadership building, which is a layout of six bedrooms and three living rooms, with a construction area of 368 square meters. Originally, there were 36 houses, and there were only 9 current leaders, but the government leaders who left their leadership positions in recent years had no place to live, so they all lived here. So only two sets on the 18th floor were left empty and unoccupied. Some of the old leaders have lived in the department-level building. ”

"Why don't they live?

Wang Weimin said with a smile: "The 18th floor is the top floor, and they are afraid of water leakage. I also think the 18th floor is unlucky. ”

"Why?"

"It's also nonsense, what is the eighteenth layer of hell."

Wuyang smiled: "Someone said so. I didn't believe that, so I let me live there. ”

Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Li, according to the regulations, the housing of provincial-level leaders does not need to be bought, they live in it when they are in office, and they can be returned after they leave office. But the situation here is special, during Governor Liu's tenure, a resolution has been made to sell these two houses at a price of 5,600 yuan per square meter. The results were announced for more than half a year, but no one cared about them. If you are interested in buying, Secretary Liu said at the meeting that you can sell both sets to you and use them with the roof garden, and the price will not be less. ”

"Okay, I'll take my parents to live with me, and I can take care of the flowers and plants in my spare time. Secretary-General Wang, please change the 18 in this elevator to 19, and the house number to 19, you can just do it quietly. ”

Wang Weimin said: "Okay, I'll arrange someone to change it immediately." Secretary Li, in fact, it doesn't matter, after a few years, if you go up, it means that people are pure nonsense, the real estate will definitely appreciate, if you want to continue to survive in this position, this is enough for your family to live. ”

Wuyang said: "I have a house in my hometown, where the air is fresh and the environment is elegant, and staying there can prolong my life." ”

When the elevator reached the 18th floor, Wang Weimin opened the door, and the two went in and went around. The area of the house is not particularly large, or the layout is relatively good. There are two doors to the entrance garden, one to the dining room and one to the living room. After the living room, bedroom, and innermost is the study. At one end of the study is a small living room, and if you discuss any confidential matters in it, it is the family, and you can't hear it without relying on technical means.

The roof garden area is relatively large, that is, the area of two houses, minus the area of the stairwell, no less than 700 square meters. Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Li, this top is cast of concrete as a whole, and in the middle of the two layers of concrete, there is a 5-centimeter-thick asphalt layer, as long as the structure is not damaged, it will not leak for decades." The load-bearing capacity of the roof is basically no problem, as long as the wall of the greenhouse is built on the wall below, and the soil of the cultivated layer is not more than 50 cm thick, there is no problem at all. ”

Wuyang said: "Okay, after I buy it, I want to ask someone to carry out the decoration design, and let them give you the drawings for review when the time comes." ”

"Okay. Secretary Li, the entire provincial government is a centralized supply of hot water, hot and cold air conditioning, which can provide hot air conditioning for your roof garden, as long as you pay according to the area. ”

"Good. In the past two days, I will find someone to design, and after the end of the two sessions in the province, I will organize the construction. The impact on the residents downstairs is not small, especially those old comrades, who are old and frail, which affects their rest, and it is inevitable that they will be resentful. Before the renovation, you took me to their house for a walk and asked for their understanding. ”

Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Li, when the new leader of the provincial capital takes office, he always has to express his condolences to the old leader. It is better to wait for the end of the two sessions, and I will come forward to invite the veteran cadres of the provincial government to hold a meeting to solicit their opinions on the work of the government. I ask for their understanding, so that it can save a lot of time by taking care of both public and private interests. ”

"Good. That's it. When our municipal party committee prepares souvenirs, it raises the grade a little, and prices are rising every year, so we can't always send away a hundred yuan. ”

Wang Weimin said: "Last year, it was a set of porcelain, more than 300 yuan, which was given by the Lujiang Municipal Government. The old cadres are now paying attention to health preservation, and they propose to issue a set of purple sand tea sets this year. We went to the market to find out, and the prices were more than 500 yuan. If as per the previous convention. In-service cadres should also be distributed, so that they will have 400 sets and more than 200,000 yuan. ”

Wuyang said: "Don't engage in such low-grade ones, there is no collection value." I can't call the shots in Tanzhou yet. I arranged for the Yihe Municipal Government. Buy directly from the place of origin. I contacted the local city government and asked them to come forward to find a company to ensure that they could buy genuine Zisha tea sets. ”

Wang Weimin said with a smile: "Secretary Li, I am a tea lover, if there is a suitable tea set and tea sea, I am willing to spend money to collect it." Since you have a relationship with the city government of the place of origin, can you help me contact me and buy a set of high-end tea sets? ”

"That's not a problem. You can find out inside the provincial capital and see who else wants to buy purple sand tea sets. You can take a day or two off and go with the people from the Yihe City Government. As for buying tea, there is a factory in Lujiang that produces high-end tea, and I can help you call and contact. ”

Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Li, I have been to the factory in Lujiang, their tea sea is indeed beautiful, and the material is also very good, there are yellow pear, Brazilian rosewood, but the price is also frighteningly high. A 1-meter-long, 60-centimeter-high, 50-centimeter-wide Huanghuali tea sea, with a price tag of 16 million, I just don't eat or drink, and I can't afford to buy a tea sea in my life. ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "The material of Huanghuali is now more than 200,000 per kilogram, they have to carve and process, and they have to pay taxes on sales, and the price is of course not low." You can buy red sandalwood, the small leaf red sandalwood should be about 200,000, and the large leaf red sandalwood should be about 100,000, which is not particularly expensive. And they all have a lot of room for appreciation. ”

"There's a lot of room for appreciation, I know that. A few years ago, I bought a wood carving of rosewood, which I bought for 12,000 yuan, and now the owner of the shop is willing to buy it back for 40,000 yuan. ”

"Now there are more people who are engaged in collecting, and the price of everything is rising sharply. Secretary-General Wang, if you have some collection and enjoy yourself, you can also double the value of your limited salary. ”

"Secretary Li, are you also engaged in collecting?"

Wuyang said: "I didn't do it deliberately, I just inadvertently collected a few things, and now I have made a lot of money." ”

"What do you have in your collection?"

"There are two things that make a good collection. The same is a ivory carving. At that time, I had just joined the work, went to Myanmar to play with someone, and spent 80,000 yuan to buy a tooth carving. At that time, I saw that its color was yellow, and I couldn't figure out what the origin was, so I bought it without knowing it, and came back to ask experts to see it, only to know that it was a miniature carving work of the Song Dynasty, and the carving was the "Qingming Riverside Map", which may also come from Zhang Zeduan's hand, and the value is more than the painting. ”

Wang Weimin said: "This kind of thing seems to be obtained by accident, but in fact, you have a relationship with this object." What about one more? ”

"And not one, but a set. When I was working in the Southwest Company, a colleague's family was about to move to a new house, and a set of stone tables and chairs that had been used for decades were about to be thrown away, and I asked them to come, and when I asked someone to carry them, one of the stone chairs was broken, and guess what's inside? ”

"Is it Emerald?"

"It's jadeite, and it's red, commonly known as the jadeite of blood jade. I had the stones on the outside of them polished away, and all the tables and chairs were filled with blood jade. Think about it, a blood jade bracelet of tens of grams is worth more than 10 million, how much should my set of blood jade weighing several tons be worth. ”

Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Li, this is also the real need in your life, and we can't compare." However, I also have a collection of ivory carvings and a sandalwood carving, which should be worth more than 10 million each. ”

"How did you get it?"

"It was given to me by a cousin of mine. I didn't think so at the time, but later I asked someone to identify it, and I realized that it was so valuable. However, before I went to the appraisal, I gave it to my brother at the original price and arranged a job for him. ”

"What does your brother do?"

"I used to be a lieutenant colonel in the special forces in the army, and after I transferred to the criminal investigation detachment of the Tanzhou City Public Security Bureau. I've been very decadent these years, and I'm basically on sick leave, and if I hadn't covered it, I'm afraid I would have been fired a long time ago. ”

"Why is this happening?"

"I'm used to living a hot life. When I came back, I was a little out of place, and I repeatedly hit a wall, and I lost my spirit. ”

"Then ask him. See if he's willing to go back to his old life. ”

Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Li, can you arrange him?" ”

Wuyang said: "In government agencies and institutions, there is definitely no way to arrange it. But I have a lot of friends who are leaders in the business, from mining deposits in the deep sea to airlines flying in the blue sky. But it's a good job for your brother. I think it's still those industries that are not very technical, such as mining, logging, and so on. ”

"Secretary. What about the salary? ”

"It's up to him what he can do. If you can preside over the mining of a mine, there will be millions of them every year. If you can only be an industrial worker, it will only be tens of thousands of yuan a year. Capitalists are shrewd people and do not feed people in vain. It will not give people high wages in vain. ”

Wang Weimin said: "Secretary Li. So let me talk to him? ”

"Good. If he is willing, you can come forward to leave him without pay or retire from illness. The Provincial Public Security Department makes sense, right? ”

"It should work. With an echo, I'll call you. ”

"Okay, I'll entrust you here, I'll go to Governor Huang to report to work, if your brother is willing to go out of the mountain, call me, and we'll have lunch together."

"Okay. Let me accompany you to Governor Huang's office. ”

"Thank you. Which day has time. I'll accompany you to the furniture factory in Lujiang to see if it can be cheaper. Pick up a sea of tea. ”

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Li. If you can't afford the big one, see if you can buy a small one, and you can exchange it for something. ”

Huang Daqi is about 50 years old, slightly fat, wearing a dark gray jacket, when he saw Wuyang entering the door, he immediately got up to greet him, shook hands and greeted him, and sat down on the couch with Wuyang, "Comrade Wuyang, have you gone to the Tanzhou Municipal Party Committee?" ”

"I went to see it, Comrade Wang Weimin also passed, and the conditions there were too ordinary. Governor Daqi, the climate in central and southern China is a little cold, right? ”

Huang Daqi said with a smile: "The climate is a little cold, but the comrades here make me feel like a spring breeze." Comrade Wuyang, has the housing been decided? ”

Wuyang said: "I want to buy the 18th floor, but it is more than 700 square meters, more than 4 million." Some are worried about what others will talk about, and they haven't made up their minds yet. ”

Huang Daqi said with a smile: "Your family is rich, the chief said when he talked to me, you yourself are also famous for being honest and honest, what can people say if you pay for it?" I don't think you're hesitating. Someone is talking, I'll carry it for you. Has Yihe's housing been disposed of? ”

"I'm gone, of course I can't ask for Yihe's house. However, I can't only have two sets here, and I will fund a simple renovation of the other set, so that the old leaders who live in this building have a place to relax, and when they have nothing to do, they can play chess, play cards, and do fitness. ”

"Don't do that. Comrade Wuyang, I also bought two sets, if you do this, we won't be able to live in peace. We are all old and young, the old love quiet, children study quietly, it is inevitable that there will be guests often. Comrade Wuyang, I know too little about the situation in Zhongnan, and I am going to go to various cities and prefectures to have a look. Both the chief and the central authorities have given you a task, and you have a heavy responsibility for the economic construction of the whole province. I'm thinking about whether to set up a liaison office to be responsible for contacting you. ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "Governor Daqi, this is not necessary. I plan to spend about half a year to straighten out the work in Tanzhou, and then go to all the cities and prefectures in the province, and you can arrange for the director and deputy director of an organ to accompany me and let him come back and report to you. Anyway, I'm just giving advice. ”

"That's fine. Comrade Wuyang, before I came to Zhongnan, the chief told me that you are a real expert in economic construction, and let me support your work in Tanzhou more, listen to your suggestions on the economic work of the whole province, and fully respect your views when making major policy decisions. I will definitely do what the chief asks, and I hope you will be able to teach me anything. ”

"Governor Daqi, you are too polite. It is our duty to support the provincial government to do a good job. With you as the commander-in-chief, the economic construction work in Central and South China will certainly be speeding up and ushering in a construction climax. ”

"Let's work together and strive to report to the central government and the 86 million people in Central and South China with excellent results."

"Governor Daqi, I will often come to report in the future. Today I still want to go to Secretary Liu's place, the work of the provincial capital is inseparable from the strong support of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. ”

"Comrade Wuyang, you are welcome to come and walk around often, between us, we are comrades and brothers, not to mention who reports to whom. With your ability and political achievements, the central authorities may arrange more important work for you at any time, and we can support each other more. ”

"Yes, definitely."

When he came to the provincial party committee, Liu Qingyuan was much warmer and more polite than Huang Daqi. Probably received a message from the doorman, Liu Qingyuan had already greeted him at the door of the office, and after sitting down, he personally made tea and handed it over.

"Comrade Wuyang, Secretary Hong is leaving Zhongnan, we already knew, but the Central Committee has not decided who will preside over the work of the Provincial Party Committee, and when I know the news, it will be too late to ask the Central Committee to partner with you."

"Secretary, I have no experience working in the provincial government, so I definitely can't preside over the work. Thank you for fighting for me. "People didn't say it, it didn't work out anyway, as a deputy, he didn't need to make up a word to coax people, of course he has to thank him.

"Comrade Wuyang, I went to work at the Tanzhou Municipal Party Committee today, do you have a preliminary idea for the future work of Tanzhou?" (To be continued......)
