Chapter 167: Winning People's Hearts

Lu Gang was reluctant in his heart, but now among the forces in several aspects, the military he represents is the weakest.

If they don't agree, Ke Rin's militia and Ding Kai's mercenaries will immediately fight, and it is not known what kind of scourge Yaqiu will become.

After thinking about it, Lu Gang felt that it was still necessary to focus on the overall situation, and it would not be beneficial for anyone to fight at present, so he had no choice but to temporarily agree to Ding Kai's request and place the mercenaries in Tiegu City.

"Okay, I can agree to let your guests settle in Iron Valley City temporarily, but it's only temporary." Lu Gang said reluctantly.

Ding Kai saw that Lu Gang agreed, and said with a happy face: "No problem, it's just temporary, I will think of a proper way to solve this matter as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Ding Kai secretly glanced at Ke Rin.

A tense conflict that could break out at any time was finally temporarily resolved under the mediation of Lu Gang's best efforts. The forces of the Mastiff Regiment withdrew back to the transport ship, and Ding Kai and his car followed him on the transport ship and headed for Iron Valley City with the mercenaries.

Lu Gang also boarded a helicopter to Iron Valley City to arrange for the Ghost Mastiff Regiment to be stationed, and Ke Rin and his militia waited until the transport ship took to the skies again, and then withdrew to the city.

The news soon spread throughout the city of Achiu, and the populace learned that Ding Kai had been sent back as governor.

"What kind of bad luck did Yaqiu have, why did he send this thousand-knife killer back!"

"My God, such a person can still be reinstated, are those people in the imperial capital all in the water!"

"You don't know, Ding Kai's grandson must be an official who spent money to buy, otherwise how could someone like him be reactivated......"

"Alas...... I thought Gao Ban would be better after coming to power, but I didn't expect it to be the same...... It seems that the empire is getting worse by the day. ”

"You speak carefully, in case there are Ding Kai's people, they will arrest you at that time."

"Catch it! I'm still afraid of him! ”

In the streets, alleys, bars and restaurants, you can hear discussions about Ding Kai everywhere, after the last escape, Ding Kai is completely stinky in Yaqiu. Therefore, almost no one was happy when he returned to continue to serve as governor this time, and there were even many people who thought that if Lu Gang did not mediate, it would be fine to let the militia kill Ding Kai.

Similar remarks spread in Yaqiu City, and just when many people thought that Ding Kai, the governor, could not do it, Ding Kai had quietly returned to Yaqiu City.

Ding Kai knew very well that if he couldn't take Yaqiu City into his own hands, he would definitely not be able to do it as a governor. Iron Valley City and several other cities are too small, with a combined population of only a few hundred thousand, which cannot be compared to Yaqiu at all.

However, he is now a bare-duty commander in Yaqiu City, the army does not listen to him, the militia will ignore him, and the mercenaries cannot be stationed in Yaqiu City for the time being, so if you want to reverse this unfavorable situation, you can only think of other ways.

Ding Kai's idea is to start with the enterprise, and first find a way to win over some companies that support him, so that he can exert influence on the Yaqiu Interim Management Committee.

Although Ding Kai intends to ban this committee, now is not the time, and even if he forcibly bans it, no one will listen to him, so he cannot directly take action against the committee now.

Ding Kai analyzed the composition of the committee, except for Liu Yi, who was not in Yaqiu for the time being, Lu Gang's attitude was more ambiguous, and the remaining four people were all from the enterprise side.

Yang Li, Bai Shanhe, Sun Hao, these three people are all from mining companies, but Tang Lun is from military enterprises. The first three Ding Kai are all familiar with each other, and they have dealt with each other a lot before, Ding Kai thinks that even if these three people don't openly move closer to him, they won't openly confront him.

Only Tang Lun is a special existence, he is not a formal member at the moment, only a temporary status, but the name of the Star Federation is too big, and it has a huge impact on everyone else, if you want to separate and disintegrate the temporary committee, Tang Lun must deal with it.

Even if he can't bring Tang Lun over, at least let him remain neutral, otherwise this committee will be difficult to break, Ding Kai decided to talk to Tang Lun first and test the other party's attitude.

"Is this Mr. Tang?"

Tang Lun had just had a conversation with someone in the hotel's restaurant, and before he could get up, a person suddenly came to the table to talk to him.

Tang Lun looked up, hesitated slightly, and then remembered who the other party was.

"It turned out to be Governor Ding Kai, it's really a long admiration." Tang Lun stood up and said.

"Mr. Tang doesn't mind if I sit down, I have a few words to say to Mr. Tang." Ding Kai said and sat directly opposite Tang Lun.

Tang Lun was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Welcome, please take a seat." ”

The two sat down, and Ding Kai said without delay: "Presumably Mr. Tang also knows that I have just come back to take office, and many things are not on the right track, so I have to ask Mr. Tang for more care and help in the future." ”

Tang Lun smiled and said, "Governor Ding's words are serious, I am just a businessman, where can I talk about taking care of the Governor, but I want to ask the Governor to take more care of me." ”

Ding Kai saw that Tang Lun spoke very tactfully, and knew that it didn't make much sense for such a person to play tricks with him, so it was better to throw out dry goods directly to see if he was willing to take the bait.

"Mr. Tang, I heard that you have always wanted to join the temporary committee, I wonder if there is such a thing?" Ding Kai asked with a smile.

Tang Lun did not hide it, many people knew about it, so there was no need to deny it.

"That's right, I have this plan, after all, the Star Alliance is now considered Yaqiu's business, and the contemptible people want to do something for Yaqiu, I don't know what the Governor has to say?" Tang Lun said.

"Don't dare. However, Mr. Tang seems to be only a temporary member at present, so he doesn't want to turn it into a formal one? ”

"Whether or not you can become a full member will have to wait for the next plenary meeting of the committee. Of course, I would like to become a full commissioner, but could it be that the Governor intends to make a recommendation for me? ”

"No, that's not what I meant." Ding Kai paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I hope that the words "Mr. Tang and the committee" will be removed, and this committee will become an official body of Yaqiu. I wonder if Mr. Tong is interested in continuing to serve as a member? ”

Tang Lun smiled: "Of course, it is good to be a full member, but is there any difference between this formal committee and the current temporary committee?" ”

"The difference is naturally there, the biggest difference is that the new committee will be the advisory department of the governor's palace in the future, but whenever there is any major matter in Yaqiu, the governor must discuss and resolve it with the committee, and if the governor is not there, the committee will act as the governor." Ding Kai explained.

"It doesn't seem like there's a big difference from now."

"On the surface, it's about the same, but the point is that this committee is not temporary, it will exist for a long time, and as long as Yaqiu is around, this committee will always exist." Ding Kai said.

Tang Lun already understood what Ding Kai meant, that is, to exchange a place on an advisory committee with him Tang Lun, so that Tang Lun could stand by his side.

"It's really a slippery head, if you change someone else, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist such a temptation." Tang Lun secretly said in his heart: "It's a pity, this Ding Kai still underestimates me, what kind of high-ranking officials of our Tang family have never seen, and he wants to buy me with a small committee member, it's really a miscalculation." ”

However, Tang Lun would not refuse Ding Kai in person, and said with a smile: "The Governor's proposal is very good, I will seriously consider it, and I hope that I can work with the Governor to develop Yaqiu better in the future." ”

"Huh? Well, we had a good conversation today, and I hope there will be a chance next time, Mr. Tang, please think about it. Ding Kai said.

Although Tang Lun did not say it explicitly, Ding Kai knew very well that the other party had rejected his proposal, and the identity of a committee member was not enough to impress Tang Lun.

Leaving the hotel, Ding Kai drove towards Xingchen Mining in a car. Although Tang Lun rejected him, Ding Kai was not discouraged, if a big enterprise like Starlink could be won over casually, then it would not be Starlink.

"Don't rush, take your time, just bring the mining company over and take the majority in the committee, and the end result will be the same." Ding Kai thought silently.

In the next few days, Ding Kai tirelessly visited one large enterprise after another, and he did not let go of even some medium-sized enterprises.

Although few people like him in Yaqiu, but the people who dare to offend him have never seen him, and most of the business leaders have to greet Ding Kai politely when they see Ding Kai coming.

After all, these are businessmen, even if they don't like Ding Kai, they don't want to have a stiff relationship with him, maybe they will have to ask Ding Kai one day.

After many conversations, Ding Kai found that most companies were satisfied with the status quo and were not willing to change. So Ding Kai promised these companies that the basic policy of Yaqiu would not change in the future, and these companies could rest assured.

At the same time, Ding Kai hinted to the heads of these enterprises that the provisional committee would be dissolved sooner or later, and Yaqiu would have to return to the right track of government management in the future.

In fact, this is exactly what the company has always cared about, after all, the Provisional Council is only a temporary body, and one day there must be a regular and stable body to govern Yaqiu, and the Imperial Government cannot allow such a situation to exist forever.

Now that Ding Kai has returned, he tells these companies that the government will be restored sooner or later, and if they have intended to support the governor, they will definitely have something in return in the future, such as giving some privileges and preferential treatment, etc.

At first, most people didn't believe Ding Kai, but as he said more, some people began to accept it.

At the same time, some speculative people have begun to feel that this is an opportunity, and if they don't seize it, they may be seized by others.

After coming and going, a group of people slowly gathered around Ding Kai, and these people began to advocate to the society, intentionally or unintentionally, that Ding Kai was no longer the same as before, and it was only right for him to manage Yaqiu.
