After getting everyone done, Lai Xiaohu also met with Song Xin before leaving, and the two of them sat in the prison where Song Xin temporarily lived and had a good meal.

In the past, Lai Xiaohu saw that Song Xin was basically with Song Yaqiao and them, although now Song Xin's attitude towards Lai Xiaohu has already changed, and he also regrets and blames himself for his previous treatment of Lai Xiaohu, but in front of others, Song Xin can only apologize bluntly and palely.

Sometimes an apology may be a one-sentence thing, but sometimes it is not true, although Song Xin doesn't know whether Lai Xiaohu has forgiven himself in his heart, he feels that he still needs to have a good talk with Lai Xiaohu alone.

The two of them set up a table, ordered eight dishes, asked for two bottles of Wuliangye, and then sat there eating and drinking, basically Song Xin was talking, and Lai Xiaohu was on the side.

During the meal, Song Xin apologized to Lai Xiaohu very formally again, and not only that, but he also opened his heart in front of Lai Xiaohu for the first time, and said a lot of words in his heart to Lai Xiaohu.

The meal was not eaten in vain, at least Song Xin knew that his words tonight had a great impact on Lai Xiaohu, and he definitely changed his image in Lai Xiaohu's heart again. For Lai Xiaohu, Song Xin's words to open his heart tonight at least made him feel that the resentment against Song Xin in his heart had almost disappeared all of a sudden, and the previous opinions on Song Xin had gradually disappeared.

With the end of the verdict, the whole rumor that had been in Shanghai for almost two months finally disappeared, and now all the rumors have basically become true. And with the fall of Han Li, many things have actually just begun.

In the officialdom of Shanghai, a new round of struggle for power and profit has just begun. With the fall of Han Li, the position of mayor of Hucheng was unsurprisingly vacant. When Han Li was put on trial. Who will take over Han Li, the mayor of Shanghai, has become the most important thing at the moment.

In fact, many people know that this position, if nothing else, it is Li Gan's. Otherwise, Li Gan would not have suddenly come here to be the leader of this investigation, and the Li family would not have exerted so much effort in Han Li's affairs.

However, there is only one position in the mayor of Shanghai, and there are many, many people who really want to sit in this position. Although most people know that their idea is just a pipe dream, there are still a significant number of people who are willing to try it for the sake of it.

The officialdom of China as a whole is very large, and all kinds of political forces are also very complicated, and the competition for power and profit in private is even more dazzling.

The Li family's power in the capital and even in the whole of China is very huge, but the Li family is only a Li family after all. China is not headed by a Li family, and there are still several people who stand at the top of the pyramid. None of these forces did not want their own people to sit in Han Li's position. And there are some people who are not at the top of the pyramid, but their strength cannot be underestimated, as they are second only to the top of the pyramid. The combined forces cannot be ignored.

Although Li Gan had already seized the opportunity, and although the Li family had already made their attitude clear, after Han Li was tried, many people suddenly appeared to compete for the position of mayor of Hucheng.

At this time, it is time to test the real strength of each force, and the weak ones will definitely not be able to withstand the first layer of screening. And even if you can be passed by the top layer by layer, there is a possibility that the people above will give you up due to some political considerations.

Lai Xiaohu is not clear about what happened behind the scenes. He didn't have a way to know anything other than Li Gan, and it was obvious that Li Gan wouldn't tell him these things.

However, although Lai Xiaohu did not know the fierce competition he was experiencing behind the scenes. But he knew that the result was that Li Gan lived up to expectations and won the position of mayor of Hucheng.

Li Qian is young. is not very old, this is Li Gan's disadvantage, and it is also Li Gan's advantage. In the eyes of those who attacked Li Gan, his age was a place where he could be attacked, after all, Li Gan was too young, and he was only in his early forties to sit in such an eye-catching position as the mayor of Shanghai. Not only will it have a great impact, but it will also be detrimental to Comrade Li Gan's future development. Anyway, a small age problem, those who don't want Li Gan to take the position can find a lot of reasons.

However, the same problem, when it came to the Li family, it became Li Gan's advantage on the contrary. What is Shanghai? That's the fastest growing economy in China. Moreover, it is also a pioneer of China's economic reform. In this case, although Li Gan is young, it is precisely because of his youth that Li Gan has come into contact with sufficiently advanced ideas, which is very beneficial to the development of Shanghai's economy and the gradual reform in the future. Moreover, Li Gan's ascension to the post is also completely in line with the goal of rejuvenating the cadres set at the beginning.

In addition to the question of age, there are many problems with Li Gan's attack, but the Li family is not vegetarian, wherever it is attacked, the Li family can fight back with reason, and sometimes the other party is speechless.

In addition to all kinds of problems, Li Gan's greatest willingness to succeed was actually the huge advantage he had accumulated long ago. For example, compared with the vast majority of competitors, the powerful Li family is backed by others, which is incomparable to others. The Li family's determination to forcibly push Li Gan, the best back of the Li family, is beyond doubt, can others compare with Li Gan?

And for the position of mayor of Hucheng, the Li family began to operate in the back early, and by the time Han Li announced the verdict, in fact, the Li family had already found enough supporters for Li Gan through a series of means in private. This is also unmatched by other forces.

Moreover, Li Qian's previous experience in politics in other places is also very beneficial to him, and in Shanghai, the most important thing as a mayor is the ability to develop the economy. However, when Li Gan took up his post in other places, the local economy developed sufficiently, which undoubtedly added a lot of points to Li Gan.

At the same time, it was originally decided that Li Gan would be promoted within a year or two, and this was basically the consensus reached above. And now that such a good opportunity has suddenly appeared, it is not unprepared to let Li Gan go up, let alone sudden.

In this way, although there are many competitors, Li Gan is still very stable in the position of mayor of Shanghai, but although he sits in this dream position, things about Li Qian have just begun.

After the earthquake, the people in the officialdom of Shanghai were panicked, especially for Li Gan, the person who personally arrested Han Li, everyone was even more afraid, so the first thing Li Gan needed to do at the moment was to stabilize this fearful and unstable atmosphere in the officialdom of Shanghai as soon as possible.

And that's just a simple question. As long as Li Gan shows his sincerity and his tolerant attitude towards others, he will basically be able to solve this problem.

The thing that really made Li Gan feel difficult to solve was the factional problem in the officialdom of Shanghai. This is the most important issue, and it is also the most important issue that Li Gan needs to grasp in the next year or two.

Everywhere there are factions, there are fights. In the midst of officialdom, Shanghai is a dazzling pearl like the capital. Everyone wants to put their own people in this place. Therefore, in the officialdom of Shanghai, there are really too many factions to count.

The small ones can be ignored for the time being. Those relatively powerful forces alone were enough for Li Gan to deal with it for a while. For example, in the past, several high-ranking deputy mayors of Shanghai. After the fall of Han Li, they are also favorable candidates to succeed Han Li. But now with Li Gan's assumption of office, their hopes are completely shattered, so it would be strange if these people could cooperate with Li Gan well at the beginning.

Maybe the best news for Li Qian now is about Min Chao. As the leader of Hucheng, Min Chao still applauded the fall of Han Li, his old rival, but in Han Li's case. It was not only Han Li's gang who was unlucky, but also Min Chao was also implicated.

At the very least, as the secretary of the municipal party committee of Shanghai, Min Chao has to bear a certain amount of responsibility for any major things that happen in Shanghai, and now the second-in-command of Shanghai has such a big thing. Although there is no evidence that Min Chao was also involved in those things, at least a weak leadership is indispensable.

Now that Min Chao has been punished by this, the above is very shocked that there has been such a big case of corruption and discipline under Min Chao's rule, and he also has opinions about Min Chao, the number one.

Originally, Min Chao belonged to the kind of person who was not too old, and he was able to achieve the position of mayor of Shanghai at the end of his political career, and Min Chao was actually very content. Their group of Shanghai executives are more unlucky, they are not promoted at a young age, but they are not too young when they are promoted. In fact, they themselves know that they are temporarily watching Hucheng for the next batch of young people, and when the time comes, they may be surpassed by people who are younger than themselves.

Originally, Min Chao was not young, and his fighting spirit was not very high when he came to Shanghai, to say that when he first came, he still had the idea of breaking his wrist with Han Li, but now with the impression of poor leadership on it, Min Chao's own fighting spirit has declined even more rapidly, and he has controlled the situation in Shanghai before, and saw if he can develop Shanghai better, so now Min Chao has no such idea, he only thinks about stabilizing the situation in Shanghai and letting Shanghai achieve a smooth transition in his own hands.

The mentality is different, and the attitude towards rights is also different, in the past, Min Chao tried every possible way to fight with Han Li in order to control the situation in Hucheng by himself. But now he suddenly lost interest in these battles.

It is normal for the first and second in command of a place to fight with each other, just like the ancient emperor did not want the first and second in command in the place to have a good relationship like relatives, in fact, although the times have changed, but now it is almost the same meaning.

For a newly appointed mayor like Li Gan, it is very difficult to compete for power with a leader like Min Chao, who has been in Shanghai for a long time and has a relatively large inherent force. Originally, the actual status was a little lower than others, and it came later than others, and if you want to win others, you really have to wait for a miracle.

But now a miracle has happened, and before Li Gandu began to build a strength range for himself to compete with Min Chao, Min Chao had already put on a look that he was not interested in the battle in Shanghai.

All of a sudden, Li Gan's most likely opponent in the future disappeared, and he was made up according to the order. If there is a leader and a second-in-command in a place, there will naturally be a third-in-command. That is, the commonly known No. 3 person, although it is not clearly specified, but in fact, such a division of strength does exist.

Min Chao is indisputable, and he suddenly replaced Min Chao and Li Gan to fight for power, and he became the No. 3 person. On time, for Li Gan, the success rate of fighting for power with the No. 3 person is more than eighty percent. Basically, Li Qian was able to ensure that he could quickly control the situation in Shanghai.

Li Qian's affairs in the officialdom have nothing to do with Lai Xiaohu, what he really cares about is still related to himself. For example, the first thing is the matter of the underground forces in Shanghai.

In the past, the underground forces in Shanghai were relatively unified, nominally under the jurisdiction of Gao Pan, but in fact under the jurisdiction of Song Xin. But now Gao Pan has been sentenced to death, and Song Xin is also sentenced to 11 years in prison. After the two nominal and actual leaders were finished, and many high-level leaders were also arrested, almost the entire underground forces in Shanghai were chaotic at once, and everyone began to be leaderless.

At this time, if it weren't for Li Gan's prescient discussion with Min Chao, he asked the public security cadres and police to intensify their efforts to train public security and crack down on illegal and criminal activities. Maybe there will be a lot of chaos in Shanghai.

Gao Pan estimated that he would be executed soon, and Song Xin also made it clear that it was impossible to meddle in the underground forces in Shanghai. He couldn't care about it now. And even he doesn't want to care anymore.

It is estimated that with the passage of time, the underground forces in Shanghai, which are now divided, will definitely usher in a large-scale fire fight in the future, which is almost a thing.

Of course, such a thing can't be allowed to happen, not to mention that Li Gan doesn't want such a thing to happen, that is, Lai Xiaohu doesn't want such a thing to happen either.

Because Lai Xiaohu, who was entrusted by Hu Haikun and Gao Hong, had to help the two of them develop their power in Shanghai. For the two of them, they never thought of developing their power to Shanghai. It's not that they don't covet this place. It's that they know it's unrealistic. Compared with Shanghai, Hu Haikun and Gao Hong have a greater probability of success in Beijing or other big cities in the north.

It must be difficult for southerners to go to the north to develop gang power, and it is also difficult for the same northerners to go to the south to do the same thing. It was too much to think about the suffering before. So although the two of them were envious of the wealth of Shanghai, they never thought of reaching out to Shanghai.

But now it's different, with the emergence of Han Li and Song Xin, the situation in the entire Shanghai city has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The previously unified underground forces in Shanghai have now become fragmented, which directly reduces the difficulty of entering the Shanghai market for the two people.

And in addition to this, the existence of Lai Xiaohu and Li Gan is the key to the two of them. With Li Gan, the mayor of Shanghai, and Lai Xiaohu, a person who has a close relationship with Li Gan, as long as they come in, wouldn't it be easy for them to gain a firm foothold here. Now Lai Xiaohu is busy coordinating the affairs between Hu Haikun and Gao Hong, and at the same time exploring the way for the two of them to enter Shanghai.

As for how to enter Shanghai, the two people basically have the same idea, first of all, they must not be like in Jincheng, because this is too ostentatious, and it is also easy to be hit by the government level in the future.

Therefore, the two of them coincidentally came to Shanghai to develop their forces in the name of the company. Even the type of work was chosen by two people, so it was a starting point for security. Nowadays, a large security company is more than just a security company, they can also turn into jackals when needed.

Relying on the name of the security company, the two of them can act in the name of security, and they can do their own black * society* affairs. With a strong security company as the backing, the two of them can go about other things and other business activities.

And the two of them also planned to open one by one for the security company at the beginning, and then develop it on their own, but when they relied on their real skills, they relied on their real skills to eat.

However, at Lai Xiaohu's suggestion, the two finally agreed to open a security company together. The reason why Lai Xiaohu wants two people to cooperate together is that on the one hand, he hopes that two people from the same place can work together to develop and grow as soon as possible. Of course, this can also directly avoid the possibility of two people fighting in Shanghai in the future, if such a thing really happens, Lai Xiaohu doesn't know how to deal with it. So it's better to put an end to this kind of thing in the first place.

At the same time, the local people in Shanghai did not maintain a welcoming attitude towards outsiders, although they were now powerless to stop Gao Hong and Hu Haikun, but they still hoped that their local people could form a larger force. (To be continued......)
