Chapter 353: Secretary Shi
"Is this Governor Hong positive or deputy?" After Father Tang finished speaking, Lai Xiaohu asked. Whether Governor Hong is positive or negative also has a great impact on Lai Xiaohu. At the very least, the rights of the two different positions are completely different, and the difficulties and risks that Lai Xiaohu has to face in dealing with them are also completely different.
"Governor Hong is now the Governor of Zhengyin in Kansai Province." Tang's father gave Lai Xiaohu the answer he wanted: "When Gu Gang got involved with him, Governor Hong was only a director of Xijing City. It is also a lot worse than its current position, but Governor Hong is good at drilling camps, and he has almost been above Pingyao all these years, and now he has been firmly in the position of governor of Kansai Province for nearly eight years. Governor Hong now has the greatest power in Kansai Province, even if there is a nominal number one secretary Shi above, but because Secretary Shi only took office last year, he has no power of his own in Kansai Province at all, but on the contrary, Governor Hong himself has been operating in Xijing City and even the provincial capital for nearly 20 years, and he is like an iron bucket for the entire Kansai Province. Since Secretary Shi took office last year, Governor Hong has been openly and secretly controlling Secretary Shi. ”
"It seems that the relationship between these two people is very bad." Hearing this, Lai Xiaohu said. In fact, it is relatively common for the relationship between the first and second leaders in officialdom to be bad. After all, the rights and interests of a place are always limited, and if one of the two people holds the initiative, the first and the second-in-command, then the other is doomed to be suppressed. But although the relationship between the first and second leaders in most places is not very good, in fact, there are higher-level leaders above them. If the two of them fight too hard, it will definitely make the upper leaders disappointed in both of them. And in addition to the upper leaders, there are also many people staring at them below, and if the relationship is too stiff, the impact will not be good.
Even if there is competition between the first and second leaders in most places, most of the time they will appear to have a good relationship, especially when they are very good at performing externally. And it's really rare for two people like Governor Hong and Secretary Shi to have such a stiff relationship.
"It would be strange if it could be good." Tang's father explained to Lai Xiaohu: "In the first half of last year, the old secretary retired due to illness. As for the vacated position of secretary, Governor Hong was originally determined to win. After all, he has been in the position of governor for seven or eight years, and his time and seniority are enough. In any respect, he met the conditions for promotion, so since the news broke that the old secretary was going to retire early, he began to operate the position of secretary. But you can also see the final situation, Governor Hong, who worked hard for many months, finally ended in failure. I don't know what the reason is, the decision to let Governor Hong take over the position of the old secretary has not been passed, and finally the former governor of Henan Province was transferred from Henan Province to take over the position of the old secretary. ”
"I see." After hearing this, Lai Xiaohu suddenly realized, no wonder Governor Hong wanted to do his best to override the new Secretary Shi, he had been eyeing a high position for several months, and he had been working hard for many months. In the end, he was snatched away by others, and if he could not be angry, he would be a saint. Not to mention Governor Hong, it is he Lai Xiaohu, if such a thing happens, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
However, although he sympathized with Governor Hong's plight, Lai Xiaohu was happy to see such a thing come to pass. If the relationship between the new Secretary Shi and Governor Hong is very good. That Lai Xiaohu has no chance to take advantage of.
After listening to Father Tang's words earlier, Lai Xiaohu immediately thought of an idea in his heart. I want to bring down Gu Gang. First of all, you must be able to suppress or be able to bring down Gu Gang's backstage. Now Gu Gang's backstage is Governor Hong. It is actually very difficult to rely on his own strength to suppress the other party, after all, as the governor of a province, Governor Hong already has a lot of power, even if he can borrow Li Gan's strength, it is not easy to suppress the other party. And at this time, if you can get the help of the new Secretary Shi, it will be completely different. Although the other party has only been in Kansai Province for less than a year. And so far, he has been overshadowed by Governor Hong, but don't think that he really doesn't have any ability.
To be the secretary of a province, Secretary Shi must have his own network behind him, and compared with Governor Hong. Secretary Shi actually has a huge advantage, but he hasn't used it before. As the secretary, Secretary Shi is the real leader of Kansai Province, and Secretary Shi has the final right to make decisions on many major issues in legal theory, and even has the right to veto. It's just that under normal circumstances, this kind of right will not be used easily, such as the one-vote veto, once used, it means that the net of both sides is broken. No one would do that unless they had to.
Lai Xiaohu has now made up his mind in his heart, tomorrow or when he will get in touch with that Secretary Shi, now the two of them not only have a common enemy, Governor Hong, but also Father Tang has just said that Secretary Shi has been serving as the governor of Yu Province before, and Lai Xiaohu himself is a person from Yu Province, with this level of relationship, it is undoubtedly easier for the two of them to make each other believe.
"By the way, uncle, I don't know if that Gu Gang has any other connections in Kansai Province." After Lai Xiaohu thought about it in his heart, he continued to ask Father Tang.
"Yes. And not only that, but there are quite a few. Father Tang said with great certainty: "Gu Gang has been operating in Guanxi Province for 20 years, and the most successful thing in these 20 years is that he has established a good relationship with Governor Hong, which not only allowed him to quickly gain a firm foothold in Xijing City, but also with the continuous promotion of Governor Hong, Gu Gang also quickly relied on Governor Hong's influence to spread his industry to other cities." However, if Gu Gang had only made a network of Governor Hong in the past 20 years, he would not only have failed, but also would not have achieved what he has today. Although a Governor Hong has a lot of influence, it is impossible for him to do things specifically for Gu Gang after all, and other people still have to come forward to do these things. ”
"And if you talk about Gu Gang's other networks, then the first one that has to be said is Gu Lie, the current director of the Kansai Provincial Public Security Department. Gu Lie is not only in a high position and holds real power, but more importantly, Gu Lie is Gu Gang's younger brother. Among all the people Gu Gang knew, the only one who really wouldn't betray him was this Gu Lie, the two of them were brothers, and now the real interests were completely one. At the beginning, Gu Lie applied for the police academy under Gu Gang's arrangement, and then Gu Lie's entry into the Xijing City Police Station and his subsequent promotions were also arranged by Gu Gang behind his back. Of course, the promotion of Governor Hong is also indispensable. Governor Hong himself came out of the police system, and he has a huge influence in it, and he has no problem promoting a person at all. ”
"In addition to Gu Lie and Governor Hong, the rest of the people who have a better relationship with Gu Gang are the current Deputy Secretary Gao and Vice Governor Lai, both of whom are Governor Hong's henchmen and descendants. They didn't have a close relationship with Gu Gang before, but naturally after the two of them served as the leaders of the province, they quickly befriended Gu Gang under the arrangement of Governor Hong. ”
Regarding Gu Gang's network in Guanxi Province, Father Tang introduced Lai Xiaohu for more than half an hour one after another, except for Governor Hong. In the provincial capital of Guanxi Province and in the local area, there are still many people Gu Gang has a close relationship, and Tang's father almost told Lai Xiaohu all the people he knew and their information.
After Father Tang finished speaking, the time was already more than nine o'clock, and it was almost ten o'clock. After looking at the time, Lai Xiaohu also knew that it was time to go. At ten o'clock, Father Tang and the others should basically rest, and Lai Xiaohu's main purpose of coming today has been achieved. There's no need to stay any longer.
Thereupon. After Father Tang finished speaking. Lai Xiaohu first expressed his gratitude to Tang's father, and then proposed to leave. Soon, Lai Xiaohu, Tang Gaoqiang and Murong Jing came out of Tang's father.
However, before leaving, Lai Xiaohu also told Tang's father one thing, that is, the reason why the Li family was able to preemptively arrange for Li Gan to go to Shanghai was indeed because they had received the news that Han Li was going to have an accident in advance. And the person who told the Li family the news was him Lai Xiaohu. The reason why Lai Xiaohu said this matter was to once again show the close relationship between himself and Li Gan.
And obviously, he said it very well. At least when he left, Father Tang, who suddenly heard the news, was directly stunned.
In the car, Murong Jing kept looking at Lai Xiaohu, obviously shocked and curious after learning about Lai Xiaohu's background.
"Little Tiger. Do you really know Mayor Li Qianli? When she was about to arrive in the community, Murong Jing finally couldn't help but ask Lai Xiaohu.
"Well, I used to be a tutor for Mayor Li Gan's daughter, and then we have never broken off contact with each other, and now we are in constant contact."
After going back, the three of them sat in the living room and watched TV for a while and talked for a while, and then they washed and went to sleep.
The next morning, just like the day before, Murong Jing got up early to cook for the two, and after eating, Murong Jing drove Tang Gaoqiang to work, while Lai Xiaohu still drove Tang Gaoqiang's car out to do his own business.
Yesterday, he was mainly familiar with the location of some important governments or departments in Kansai Province, and the overall gain was not too great. But today he is more purposeful.
First of all, he went to Secretary Shi this morning, Lai Xiaohu called Li Gan last night, and then he told Li Gan what he was going to do in Guanxi Province now, Li Gan was very surprised when he heard Lai Xiaohu's words, and he didn't expect Lai Xiaohu to do such a thing at all. In Li Gan's words, he did not deny that Lai Xiaohu was very capable, but after all, it was not easy to overthrow Gu Gang, and it involved Governor Hong, and the risk was still very great, for the sake of Lai Xiaohu, Li Gan persuaded him to give up such an idea.
But then Lai Xiaohu refused, and after repeatedly assuring that he was very sure and that he could ensure his safety even if he failed, Li Qian didn't say anything more. As for Lai Xiaohu's request, Li Gan also agreed.
Lai Xiaohu's request to Li Gan is actually very simple, that is, he hopes that Li Gan can be a middleman and give Lai Xiaohu and Secretary Shi a line. This request was not too difficult for Li Gan, so Li Gan did not refuse. However, it was almost midnight at that time, and Li Qian told Lai Xiaohu that he would not be able to reply until the next morning.
And this morning, Lai Xiaohu really received a call from Li Gan, in which Li Gan told Lai Xiaohu that this matter had been handled, and that Li Gan asked for Secretary Shi's contact information through his connections last night. However, he did not call Secretary Shi directly at that time, but waited until this morning to call. On the phone, Li Gan told Secretary Shi in his private capacity that there was a person close to him in Xijing City who wanted to see him, and then asked Secretary Shi if he had time.
Although Li Gan said that he was a private person, Secretary Shi couldn't really think so, after all, his identity had reached the point of Li Gan. Private and public identities have become inextricably linked.
Someone wanted to see him, and he also invited Li Gan to act as an intermediary, and this person Secretary Shi must meet once. Not only was he curious about this person, but also in front of Li Gan's face, he couldn't refuse.
On the phone, Secretary Shi told Li Gan that he had something to do this morning, and then the two of them said that this time the meeting with Lai Xiaohu was scheduled for the morning. Secretary Shi is afraid that he wants to be busy all day and can't get away, but unfortunately it's impossible, he has been hollowed out and doesn't have much to deal with by himself now.
In addition to saying that the better time he would be with Secretary Shi, Li Gan also told Lai Xiaohu about Secretary Shi's phone number in the phone call he called Lai Xiaohu in the morning. And Lai Xiaohu, who had packed up, went directly to Secretary Shi.
Soon arrived at the building of the Provincial Party Committee of Guanxi Province, Lai Xiaohu took out his mobile phone and made a call to Secretary Shi. On the phone, Lai Xiaohu said that he had arrived outside the building and would go up to look for him immediately, but Secretary Shi, who heard this, immediately said no, and then asked Lai Xiaohu to wait for him to go down.
After hanging up the phone and waiting for about ten minutes, Lai Xiaohu saw a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties walking out. White shirt, short hair, relatively tall figure, and the whole person also looks very capable. Needless to say, this person is Secretary Shi who rushed down after receiving Lai Xiaohu's call. Lai Xiaohu saw a photo of him yesterday. I recognized it at first glance.
Seeing that Secretary Shi came out, Lai Xiaohu hurriedly opened the car door and waved at Secretary Shi, seeing Lai Xiaohu, Secretary Shi quickly walked over, walked in and saw Lai Xiaohu's appearance, Secretary Shi was obviously stunned. I didn't expect to be such a young person who was looking for myself, "You are Mr. Lai Xiaohu, right?" ”
"Hello, Secretary Shi, I'm Lai Xiaohu." Lai Xiaohu stepped forward and shook hands with Secretary Shi. Then introduce yourself.
"Well, Mr. Lai is really young and promising." After praising Lai Xiaohu, Secretary Shi got into Lai Xiaohu's car, and after designating a teahouse, Lai Xiaohu drove towards the teahouse under Secretary Shi's instructions.
Twenty minutes later, in the private room of the teahouse, Lai Xiaohu and Secretary Shi sat on both sides of the table, and after the waiter poured the tea, Lai Xiaohu took the lead and said: "Secretary Shi, it's really troublesome for you to come out early in the morning." ”
"It's okay, have you already gone to work, isn't it the same everywhere. I was surprised that Mr. Lai was so young. After speaking, Secretary Shi laughed twice.
"Secretary Shi, you still call me Xiaohu, so it looks kinder. And I haven't graduated yet, and I'm still a student, so I'm a little ashamed to call me sir. ”
"What? You haven't graduated yet? Listening to Lai Xiaohu's words, Secretary Shi immediately shouted out in surprise. Originally, he was very surprised to see Lai Xiaohu so young, but now he didn't expect that Lai Xiaohu hadn't graduated yet, and he was still a student in college. This surprised Secretary Shi even more.
"Then I don't know what your relationship with Mayor Li is?" After that, Secretary Shi asked tentatively. Originally, he thought that Lai Xiaohu might have something to do with work or business. But now that I know that Lai Xiaohu has not graduated yet, it is obvious that there is almost no place for Lai Xiaohu to beg him, and a student stays in school most of the time, how can there be so many things. Therefore, Secretary Shi thought that Lai Xiaohu might simply want to make friends with himself this time and prepare for the future. Therefore, I was very curious about the relationship between Lai Xiaohu and Li Gan, and invited Li Gan out just to get to know myself, how close the relationship between these two people is.
"How can I say it," Lai Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Mayor Li is one of my elders." ”
Lai Xiaohu didn't say much, and after Secretary Shi heard it, he immediately recalled in his mind that Li Gan or Li Gan had any relatives surnamed Lai, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, but he didn't dare to despise Lai Xiaohu, no matter what kind of kinship the two parties were, it was already great to be able to invite Li Gan.
"By the way, did Secretary Shi hold the position of governor of Yu Province before?" After that, Lai Xiaohu asked Secretary Shi.
"Well, that's right, I was still in Yu Province at the beginning of last year, but in the second half of the year, the organization transferred me here as a secretary." Regarding Lai Xiaohu's question, Secretary Shi did not hide it.
"Hehe, it's a pity that I didn't know Secretary Shi last year, by the way, in fact, I myself am from the business city of Henan Province. It can be said that he lives next to Secretary Shi. Lai Xiaohu said with a little regret and a little excitement.
"Really?" Secretary Shi immediately laughed, "I didn't expect you to be from Yu Province, it's really a pity that we didn't get to know each other last year." (To be continued......)
