On New Year's Day of '98, on a vacant lot in the Chuncheng Central Business District, where the scale had begun to take shape, most of the leaders of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee, including Jiang Zhenbang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Chen Youwei, Mayor of Chuncheng, personally attended a grand groundbreaking ceremony.

After more than half a year of intense planning and design, the Gonggonggou project, which is concerned by all parties in Chuncheng, has finally been officially approved and approved, and the first batch of one billion funds have been included in the new annual budget. It can be said that such an eye-catching and innovative project of Gonggonggou has officially kicked off in the spotlight.

After countless discussions by the municipal government and even after several small disputes at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the current plan was finally finalized.

What is somewhat different from Chen Youwei's original expectation is that because the first choice of Gonggonggou is the most prosperous place in the city center of Tiexi District and Guta District, and most of the land development costs in these two districts, including the central business district, are levied by the municipal finance, so most of the budget of Gonggonggou is ultimately carried out through municipal financial allocation.

It is precisely this change in the proportion of investment that is somewhat different from the previous one, which has led to a much unnecessary increase in the number of issues related to the common ditch.

Although this situation makes Chen Youwei a little helpless, he is also helpless, after all, from the perspective of the following units, such a reality is the most in line with the interests of all parties.

The winter in Spring City is as cold as ever, and the huge groundbreaking ceremony site in the north wind is full of people.

Jiang Zhenbang, Chen Youwei and others symbolically dug a few times into the soil pit of the groundbreaking ceremony, and in the noise of gongs, drums and firecrackers, the project of the common ditch in Chuncheng City officially started.

Liu Yunlong, the newly appointed governor of Liaobei Province, also came to the scene, and for some reason, he did not participate in such a grand groundbreaking activity as the construction of Gonggonggou.

As the so-called came in a hurry, but also in a hurry, after simply participating in the groundbreaking ceremony of the common ditch, Liu Yunlong left in a hurry, leaving only some people at the scene suspicious.

At the end of the ceremony, most of the leaders of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee dispersed, and only Jiang Zhenbang remained interested, leaving Chen Youwei to stroll through the huge central business district.

"It's amazing how much has changed here in just one year!"

Some days without such face-to-face communication with the young mayor, Jiang Zhenbang's inner complexity is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When he first came to Spring City, Jiang Zhenbang was full of ambition and wanted to make achievements, but when he really entered the game, he found that the situation here in Spring City was far more complicated than he imagined. It has been so long since he has been in office until now, and as the secretary of the municipal party committee, who should be in the impression of ordinary people, he still has limited influence in the Standing Committee.

The young mayor next to him is also facing the same problem, but I have to say that many times, Jiang Zhenbang is not even as influential as the nominal second-in-command.

In the original local faction of Chuncheng, the strength of the Dong family and the Nan family was quite strong, and the time to maintain the balance of power was not short, even if Liu Fei, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was designed out by mistake later, the strength of the Nan family in Chuncheng was still good.

Regardless of whether Jiang Zhenbang is willing or not, the existing pattern forces him to cooperate with Chen Youwei and even Dong Jiannan's family, who are not good guys.

"Secretary Jiang is right, the original wealth accumulation of an old industrial base like Chuncheng is actually very strong, but the predicament in the early stage has not transformed these accumulations into a real driving force for development."

Chen Youwei smiled with each other: "The current Spring City has reversed the original adversity, with the correct development ideas and the influx of funds from the outside world, this game of chess will naturally be revitalized!" ”

Jiang Zhenbang stopped, looked at Chen Youwei quietly and said: "The idea of Gonggonggou is very forward-looking, which is why I finally agreed to this plan after many considerations. ”

"Thank you Secretary Jiang for your understanding and support, I believe that with Gonggonggou, Chuncheng, which was very dilapidated and full of dust and sewage in the past, will be gone forever." Chen Youwei's expression was indifferent, he naturally knew that the number one leader of Spring City next to him must be more than that.

"Find a place to sit?" Jiang Zhenbang raised his wrist and looked at the time, asking Chen Youwei's opinion.

Chen Youwei knew it in his heart, so he naturally would not object.

The two nominally most powerful people in Spring City came to a small teahouse in a secluded neighborhood nearby and sat opposite each other, if it weren't for the few staff members waiting quietly outside, I'm afraid no one would have believed that such a heavyweight would come in such a humble place.

"I'm used to Yicheng Maojian, what does Secretary Jiang drink?" Chen Youwei called the waiter and asked.

"Yicheng Maojian is fine, I also want to taste what the specialty of Mayor Chen's place of work is like?" Jiang Zhenbang took off the heavy reverse coat on his body, took the cigarette handed by Chen Youwei and lit it, and said with a pun.

"Yicheng Maojian is still selling well in the domestic tea market, at least in Chuncheng, I can generally see it."

Chen Youwei smiled and teased his knowledge about Yicheng Maojian and said: "However, most of the people who don't know how to do it generally buy small mountain tea, and the tea leaves of the real traditional Yicheng Maojian origin, which is what the locals of Yicheng call the big mountain tea, is the real authentic Yicheng Maojian for me!" ”

"Oh? There is so much to say in this little Maojian tea? ”

Jiang Zhenbang bowed slightly, his eyes were full of surprise, in his opinion, as long as the tea leaves that can refresh and relieve fatigue are good tea, where do he think so much about the rest.

"Hehe, really speaking, the appearance of this hairy little camellia has something to do with me......"

Chen Youwei briefly talked about the situation in Shuiyang County on the spot, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect those guys to be so capable, and they actually operated the little camellia that was unknown and completely unknown at all so successfully." It can be seen that the concept of wine fragrance in the past is not afraid of deep alleys is really a bit outdated! ”

Jiang Zhenbang's eyes flashed with strange sparks, and he nodded in admiration: "It is said that Mayor Chen turned stones into gold, and now it seems that he really deserves his reputation!" ”

"Secretary Jiang has won the award, I am just playing lip service, and the real work is still the comrades below who have ideals and ambitions are doing specific work." Chen Youwei waved his hand and smiled.

"I noticed that Mayor Chen has a characteristic, that is, many things seem to be random and accidental, but when you really look closely, you are prepared for a rainy day." Jiang Zhenbang took two sips of the teacup, and sighed faintly: "FAW's reform seems to be fighting against the water, but now it seems that Mayor Chen has long been confident, and the launch of the project in the central business district also seems to be a whim. ”

"So Secretary Jiang also thinks that the project of Gonggonggou is also something that I have been planning for a long time?" Chen Youwei swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog in a small mouth, and said indifferently.

"Isn't it?" Jiang Zhenbang asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, this Secretary Jiang really thinks a little highly of me, the launch of Gonggonggou is actually really forced out." Chen Youwei said with a wry smile: "The overall atmosphere of Spring City investment on Hong Kong Island is still good, but there are some outdated and some opinions on the environment of our overall city. ”

Jiang Zhenbang bowed his head lightly, did not say a word, changed the topic and said with a smile: "I just turned around, if the project of Gonggonggou is really successfully completed, at least the convenience brought by the central business district, which is a land where every inch of land is valuable, is still self-evident, at least from now on, the roads here will no longer be as ugly as other places that are about to be disemboweled." ”

"Secretary Jiang is right, for a modern metropolis, such a seemingly small detail is actually very related to the face of our entire city, and it is really worthy of the attention of our city managers!" Chen Youwei looked at the dignified secretary of the municipal party committee in front of him with admiration.

However, what he was thinking about more at the moment was what made this secretary of the municipal party committee, who has never spoken much, so close today.

"I heard that Comrade Zhou Qiang is going to be transferred?" Jiang Zhenbang squinted his eyes and said lightly with his eyebrows.

Chen Youwei sighed softly, and he knew that there was no impermeable wall in the world.

In the past period of time, Chuncheng has set off a huge special security operation against car bandits and road blockers, outsiders may not know what is behind this, and only a few people understand that this is for Zhou Qiang's smooth promotion to the Ministry of Public Security.

On the Ministry of Public Security, Chen Youwei had already contacted him, and he could be transferred calmly when everything was ready.

It's just that judging from the current situation, Jiang Zhenbang has already known about this matter, and I am afraid that this matter has become an open secret.

"Well, the public security situation in Chuncheng in the past few years is good, and it is reasonable that Lao Zhou is favored by the Ministry of Public Security." Chen Youwei's tone was calm, but he knew that the other party would definitely not believe what he said.

Jiang Zhenbang is indeed very skeptical of the other party's statement, but what kind of reaction can he make at this time.

"I wonder if Mayor Chen is a candidate to take over?" Jiang Zhenbang still didn't want to give up such an opportunity easily, so he simply spread it out.

Chen Youwei took a small sip of fragrant tea, quietly stared at Jiang Zhenbang's eyes full of expectations, and shook his head for a long time before he shook his head and said: "Meng Jiangchuan of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Provincial Public Security Department, I don't know what Secretary Lu Daojiang thinks?" ”

"Meng Jiangchuan?" Jiang Zhenbang was shocked for a while, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have ignored something.

"Yes, Meng Jiangchuan!"

Since the cards were unfolded, Chen Youwei also let go of his words and said in a deep voice: "The captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Provincial Department, I don't have the ability to say, in terms of qualifications, he has been in the position of the director for six years, and I think it is appropriate for such an experienced and capable old public security officer to take over!" ”

Jiang Zhenbang's mouth was bitter and silent, but the chagrin in his heart was clear at a glance.

This move is really sharp!

The eldest son of the former secretary of the provincial party committee was pulled into the camp of the young mayor, and this move alone was enough to surprise countless people in Chuncheng and even northern Liaoning!
