On the morning of April 22, Zhao Anbang was taking a shower in his yard at No. 8 Republic Road after morning exercises, when the red phone upstairs rang urgently, and it rang for a long time. The red machine is a confidential phone, and Mrs. Liu Yan generally doesn't answer it, but she can see that he is in the bathroom, so she goes to answer it, and it only takes a moment to shout at the staircase, asking him to come up quickly. Zhao Anbang thought it was Pei Yihong's call: Today, he wanted to report the investigation and handling of the 7 million tons of steel to the leaders of the State Council by phone, and said that he would discuss it, so he replied, "Oh, you tell Lao Pei, I'll call him in five minutes!" ”

Liu Yan came down from upstairs with a "knock knock", and said uneasily at the door of the bathroom: "Anbang, it's not Secretary Pei's phone, it's the mayor of Wenshan who called Fang Kesi, crying, there is a big incident over there in Wenshan!" ”

Zhao Anbang didn't mind too much, and rinsed under the lotus shower head and said, "It's all like this, what else can happen?" ”

Liu Yan said: "Hey, no one can think of it! Fang Zhenggang said that Wu Yaya, the chairman and president of Asia Iron and Steel United Company, committed suicide in Wenshan New District more than an hour ago, leaving you a 10,000-word suicide note! ”

Zhao Anbang was stunned at that time, hurriedly wiped his body, put on a bathrobe and went upstairs. grabbed the phone and immediately asked Fang Zhenggang: "Zhenggang, what's going on?" How did Wu Yaya ...... How could you suddenly commit suicide? ”

Fang Zhenggang said with a crying voice, "Governor Zhao, we didn't do our job well!" I thought of everything, but I didn't think of this! A few days ago, Shi Yanan and I had a conversation with him, and the conversation was very good, although Wu Yaya was not convinced, and had some strange complaints, but he still admitted the reality and was ready to admit the game. He also said in front of us that he would not die, he would not die, and he must save the seven million tons of steel. No one thought he would jump off the tower crane! ”

Zhao Anbang really didn't know what to say, the second phase of the investigation is underway, and some issues still need to be verified with Wu Yaya, including the report of some people on the bribery of Long Dafei, director of the new district management committee. It's good now, if a person dies suddenly, could it be that he was killed by the bad guys? Then he asked: "Zhenggang, have you figured it out, must it be suicide?" It's only been more than an hour, has the autopsy been officially performed? What do you comrades from the Public Security Bureau say? ”

Fang Zhenggang seemed to know what he suspected, "Governor Zhao, it must be suicide, there is no doubt about it." The suicide note left by Wu Yaya can already explain everything. Of course, the corpse will be examined, but it won't be killed by him! ”

Zhao Anbang then remembered, "Oh, said that Mr. Xiao Wu left me a suicide note?" Still a long one? ”

Fang Zhenggang's voice was visibly choked, "Yes, Governor Zhao!" Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to disturb you! You see, I was on the phone...... I'll read the suicide note to you first, and ...... Or fax it over? ”

Zhao Anbang thought for a moment, "You decide according to the situation, if it doesn't involve confidential content, it's okay!" ”

Fang Zhenggang said: "It doesn't involve any confidential content, but it involves more than ten years of exchanges and feelings between you. ”

Zhao Anbang thought to himself that his relationship with Wu Yaya was normal, and it had always been a gentleman's friendship, and besides, they had just read this suicide note, so they said: "In this case, you can upload it immediately, I'll wait!" ”

While waiting for the fax, Zhao Anbang got dressed. While wearing it, he thought that the history of his relationship with Wu Yaya was a long time ago, from his resignation in Gulong County, Wenshan, to the beginning of being in charge of industry in Baishanzi County. At that time, Wu Yaya was a small individual boss, he was just an inconspicuous little deputy county magistrate. Now that he has become the governor of a large economic province, but Wu Yaya is cornered, the suicide note left by the young man is estimated to have nothing good to say, presumably he will be scolded for being a big official, and he will not be saved when he dies, right? But how does the young man know his troubles and the complicated secrets of it? He can't tell him what he has done for the seven million tons of steel! Even in front of city-level leaders such as Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan, it cannot be said that this is determined by the party spirit and principles. Before the young man died, he wanted to scold, but he could only let him scold.

After a while, the fax machine began to spit out paper. Zhao Anbang ripped them off one by one and immediately looked at them.

As expected, in this 10,000-word suicide note, Wu Yaya focused on the struggle process of his acquaintance in Wenshan Electronic Industrial Park in 1987 and when he was the deputy county magistrate. Zhao Anbang knew in his heart that Wenshan Electronic Industrial Park was an unforgettable place for both of them. That was the initial foothold for him to enter the high-level political arena, and it was also the starting point for Wu Yaya's growth from a poor boy to a famous entrepreneur in the province and even in China, and it was the place where Wu Yaya's career dream began. At that time, the young man was still an authentic farmer who had not been fed for long. Because he made a mistake with Qian Huiren in Gulong's land division pilot, he was just transferred to Baishanzi County with a punishment to grasp the industry and preside over the development of Chengguan Industrial Park. In order to attract private individual enterprises to settle in the industrial park, he and the county ** made a policy: 5,000 yuan to an urban household registration. Wu Yaya came over with tens of thousands of yuan borrowed from relatives and friends, and opened a small carton packaging factory in the park that engaged in supporting services. It was really difficult at that time, it was not easy for him to build this industrial park, and it was not easy for Wu Yaya's entrepreneurship to start. He violated the law and disobeyed orders to bring in a military industrial enterprise in the interior in the name of attracting investment, and brought a television manufacturing enterprise to the county and Wenshan area, but he was once again given a warning. The television factory was eventually assigned to the city, and the county-owned Chengguan Industrial Park became a city-owned electronics industrial park.

Wu Yaya's carton factory was opened at that time, and he went to cut the ribbon. At the same time, the ribbon-cutting was also the motor who was the director of the TV factory and the deputy director of the Municipal Electronics Industry Bureau. As soon as he was invited, he couldn't just talk about supporting private enterprises, he had to help do what he could do, even for an inconspicuous small factory like Wu Yaya. At that time, he was a very good man, and he was the director of a large state-owned factory and the deputy director of the bureau, and he invited three and nine invitations to come to Shanshan, and he didn't take Wu Yaya in his eyes at all, nor did he look at him, the unlucky deputy county magistrate. After receiving Wu Yaya's cardboard boxes, he didn't give money, and the cardboard boxes that were soaked in the factory were also counted on Wu Yaya's head, almost squeezing the young man into bankruptcy. Wu Yaya ran to him and cried, so he took Wu Yaya to find the motor, slapped the table with the motor, and finally helped Wu Yaya get back the arrears. Later, a large number of facts proved that people like Mada are not good at economic work, especially in the complex and changeable market economy, so they were assigned to the Inspectorate today.

Subsequently, he was transferred to Ningchuan to preside over the large-scale development, and implemented the development plan of Ningchuan with the support of Bai Mingming, secretary of the municipal party committee. At the end of 1989, when the prospects for China's reform were vague and even likely to die, he and Bai Tianming, on behalf of Ningchuan City, boldly announced eight preferential policies for attracting investment. Wu Yaya, this young man is sensitive, and immediately moved when he heard the news, decisively ended the business in Wenshan, and immediately rushed to Ningchuan for the eight preferential policies, and raised funds to set up a private Asian cable factory. With the fiery development of Ningchuan, the business of Asia Cable Factory is getting bigger and bigger, and Wu Yaya bought a piece of land at a low price when the factory was built, earning his first pot of gold, and completing the difficult and innocent original accumulation of capital. As far as Zhao Anbang knows, there are not many large sums of money in Hanjiang Province that started by setting up factories like Wu Yaya, and the capital is not the original sin. Twelve years later, in 2002, this poor boy had become a successful entrepreneur with a net worth of more than 800 million, not only in Ningchuan, but also in the entire Hanjiang Province.

At this time, the provincial party committee and the provincial government are going to start Wenshan, the economic engine in the north, and he, the governor, called on private enterprises to develop in Wenshan at the provincial wealth summit, and also talked to Wu Yaya in person. He still remembers the circumstances of that conversation very clearly, and he spoke very concretely. He regarded the young man as an old friend and hoped that Wu Yaya would take the lead and put the proposed new Sino-foreign joint venture cable factory in Wenshan. But at that time, the Wenshan team had not been adjusted, and Mayor Tian Fengyi dreamed of taking over in order, and after the old secretary of the municipal party committee retired, he would become the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the motor was also waiting for the mayor. Wu Yaya couldn't trust Ma and Tian Fengyi at all, and promised him, but he never moved. It wasn't until Shi Yanan and Fang Zhenggang's team came up, and Fang Zhenggang went to Ningchuan three times to invite him to Wenshan, that he brought people over.

Now I know that this was the beginning of a nightmare. It's not just the nightmare of Wu Yaya and the Asian Steel Federation, but also the nightmare of Han Giang Province and Wenshan City. The young man's truthfulness is touching, and he didn't put the blame on him and Fang Zhenggang, who had invited him with Ning Chuan Sanxia, in his suicide note. He didn't even push it to the new district management committee who helped him come up with bad ideas. This really surprised him. What surprised him even more was that Wu Yaya's book of 10,000 words did not complain about reform. This famous entrepreneur who was born and almost starved to death in his infancy is full of gratitude for this era of reform that made him!

When you think about it, it's not hard to understand. When he was in Ningchuan to grasp the private science and technology industrial park, he and Wu Yaya had a long talk all night. From this, I know the young man's life experience, a child who has sucked his mother's blood, and the blood and tears paid by an ordinary peasant family in the *** era. He had told the story of this blood-sucking child to many comrades on different occasions to prove the significance of his and his comrades' reform and exploration in Ningchuan. Later, when he was investigated and dealt with by the investigation team of the provincial party committee led by Yu Huabei, he told Yu Huabei that don't say that Ningchuan's reform is not socialism, and poverty is not socialism! Reform is essentially a great revolution related to national rejuvenation. Everyone said that the martyrs of their predecessors fought in a pool of blood for 28 years to accomplish the new democratic revolution and paid the price of more than 10 million people. But in order to find this reform path of enriching the people, strengthening the country, and rejuvenating the nation, we have also groped for 29 years in poverty and hunger, and paid the price of more than 30 million people! He asked Yu Huabei and the comrades of the investigation team to ask Wu Yaya of the Asia Cable Factory how he survived poverty and hunger! Yu Huabei and the people in the investigation team were stunned by him at that time, and no one answered for a long time. Therefore, Zhao Anbang can fully understand Wu Yaya's feelings about reform and opening up. The young man should be grateful for this good era that has given him glory and opportunities again and again. This era changed the historical destiny of a country and a nation, brought a prosperous life to the majority of the Chinese people, and made thousands of Wu Yamen soar into the sky like eagles.

After reading the 10,000-word suicide note, Zhao Anbang's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears. A few teardrops fell onto the fax paper, soaking some of the handwriting on the paper into a blur. It's a pity that Wu Yaya just left, this eagle could have taken off again after licking its wounds, maybe it would have flown higher and farther. In such a dynamic era, what miracle can't happen? He has faced failures again and again, and has been investigated and punished again and again, but didn't he still break through in the end? Now he is the governor of one of China's major economic provinces. Why is the young man so confused!

The lad walked with unfinished dreams and hopes. At the end of the suicide note, he said that he was still full of hot hope for the future steel market prospects, the seven million tons of steel that have been created in the world. Isn't this hope the hope of him, Shi Yanan, Fang Zhenggang, and even Pei Yihong and relevant central departments? You don't have to prove it with your precious life! The old secretary Liu Huanzhang said before his death, don't believe in linear motion, historical development never follows a straight line. What about the economy? The sea has its ebbs and flows, and the economy has hot and cold, peaks and valleys. When a country's economy is running at the bottom, it is necessary to increase investment in fixed assets, or even direct investment, to stimulate the growth of the national economy. When a country's economy is at its peak, it is necessary to limit the scale of investment in fixed assets, even if it is private investment, it must be regulated and controlled by policies, and it must be understood and adapted! What's more, this time it violated the rules so seriously and alarmed the central government. Of course, the accounts of the violations cannot be fully counted on Wu Yaya and his Asian Steel Federation. The honest and efficient new district management committee mentioned by the young man in his suicide note has to bear important responsibility, even the main responsibility. There is nothing to say about this group of comrades in the new district management committee who are not derelict in their duties but also seriously derelict in their duties! and Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan, who are really bureaucratic, they didn't know that the registered capital and investment of the Asian Iron and Steel Federation would be so large, and they just let these seven million tons of steel crush Wu Yaya and an Asian Iron and Steel Federation.

Thinking of this, Zhao Anbang impulsively grabbed the phone, ready to criticize Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan for a call, but before the number was dialed, he hesitated and put down the microphone: Fang Zhenggang, Shi Yanan and the Wenshan City team should criticize, and he and the provincial ** should not do self-criticism and reflect deeply? Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan have leadership responsibility, doesn't he, the provincial governor, have leadership responsibility? Comrade Anbang, you personally led a team to Wenshan for a raid, didn't you think there was no big problem there at that time? Is this called a bureaucracy? For Wu Yaya's suicide and the bankruptcy of the Asian Steel Federation, you also have a heavy leadership responsibility! blame yourself, you are really inferior to Wu Yaya in this regard. The young man said it well in his suicide note, and the metaphor is also accurate: when a ship deviates and hits the reef, no matter whether it is the captain, sailors, or passengers, they all become shipwrecked, and it is useless and meaningless to complain about anyone! Moreover, after this disaster, the comrades of Fang Zhenggang, Shi Yanan and Wenshan worked hard enough and did all the work they could. Vice Governor Wang also said in his report that it was not easy for Shi Yanan and Fang Zhenggang to cooperate with the joint investigation team on the investigation of the Asian Iron and Steel Federation, and also to cooperate with the investigation and handling of the Gulong corruption case, and also to preside over the daily work, help the Asian Iron and Steel Federation clean up the mess, and find a new investment institution, both of them were haggard. If he criticizes again at this time, won't it increase their pressure? Besides, they are indeed not directly responsible for this disaster, and the investigation so far and Wu Yaya's suicide note have proved that the false investment was not done by them, but the problem of the new district management committee and Wu Yaya.

Therefore, Zhao Anbang's mood gradually calmed down, and this criticism call was not made to Wenshan.

Unexpectedly, his criticism phone call did not pass, but Fang Zhenggang's phone called, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a painful review, "Governor Zhao, have you received the suicide note that passed on the past?" Criticize it! Secretary Shi Yanan said, if necessary, we can go to the provincial capital together and do a deep inspection of you, the provincial party committee and the provincial party committee in person! Secretary Shi and I read the suicide note left by Wu Yaya today and realized that you had been so enthusiastic about supporting Wu Yaya back then. And we, especially me, put ...... invited Wu Yaya to Wenshan, but let him send his life here! ”

Zhao Anbang sighed: "Zhenggang, don't say it, first of all, I want to do self-criticism, I'm sorry for this little friend!" I knew that today, on April 4, the day the joint investigation team went down to Wenshan, I should have detained him first! ”

Fang Zhenggang asked tentatively, "Governor Zhao, what do you mean by imposing protective detention measures on Wu Yaya?" ”

Zhao Anbang said: "Yes, find a reason to isolate him, and we may not lose this general!" Zhenggang, remember? When I invited you to dinner with Yanan at noon on April 3rd, I told you all the bad situations you might encounter, and I wanted you to be mentally prepared, but I didn't expect Wu Yaya to go to a dead end! ”

Fang Zhenggang hesitated and said a fact, "Governor Zhao, although no one expected that Wu Yaya would go to a dead end, but when the creditors of the capital-bearing units began to force debts, Shi Yanan raised it, is it protective detention?" ”

Zhao Anbang said: "Shi Yanan has brains, so why didn't you do it at that time?" Yes? ”

Fang Zhenggang regretted it and sighed, "It's that I didn't agree!" I was so angry that I thought there was no reason to detain Wu Yaya. Shi Yanan said that he would be arrested on suspicion of fictitious registered capital, and I said that this could not be accounted for on Wu Yaya's head, and the new district management committee should bear at least half of the responsibility. In addition, I am also afraid of affecting the negotiations with Europa Far East International Investment Company and other takeover institutions, so we can't let people go to the detention center to talk, right? ”

Zhao Anbang said regretfully: "Zhenggang, you are too inexperienced!" Yanan is the same, he should be arbitrary once! ”

Fang Zhenggang's voice choked and said: "So, Governor Zhao, we want to help him realize his last wish, in addition to the three core projects reported to you and the provincial **, we are ready to protect the 2.5 million tons of molten iron project." Wenshan itself has iron mines, and half of the blast furnace has been built, seven or eight hundred million, which also reduces the bank's losses! ”

Zhao Anbang was shocked, "Zhenggang, how do you want to protect it?" Do you want to fill yourself in the iron-making furnace? ”

Fang Zhenggang said calmly: "Governor Zhao, if necessary, I will take the initiative to jump into the furnace!" ”

Zhao Anbang didn't think about it, and shouted: "It's enough to die one Wu Yaya!" You, Shi Yanan and any comrade in Wenshan, don't make this kind of senseless sacrifice again, remember it for me! With that, he hung up the phone.

At this time, Mrs. Liu Yan came up, and seeing that he was not in the right mood, she said carefully: "Anbang, Lao Pei called again, and the red machine upstairs couldn't get in, so he called downstairs, saying that he was waiting for you in the office!" ”

Zhao Anbang was stunned, and then remembered that he wanted to meet with Pei Yihong to discuss the matter of reporting to the Central Committee......
