Chapter 124: Going Too Far (2)
The things in the capital excited Zhan Jidong, if he grasped this opportunity, it would be another village for his future, but how should this matter be operated?
I don't know when it rained outside, and the sound of rain was dripping, and the drops hit Zhan Jidong's heart. Zhan Jidong came to the window, and the dark night pressed towards him like a thick curtain, making his already gloomy heart even more gloomy.
He knew very well that he was playing with fire by doing this, because once something went wrong, the originally good relationship between him and Zhou Shuming would be completely buried, and there would be no room for maneuver.
Some things are done too clearly, badly, too darkly, and they don't work well. Purely give up and don't do it, it's not his Zhan Jidong's character, he is now running towards the future with one mind, although he is now the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, but there is still a distance from the goal in his heart. In addition, there are always variables in the political field, today you are the deputy secretary, tomorrow you may be nothing, many people in the position of deputy secretary were still ambitious, staring at the position of secretary of the provincial party committee or the governor, overnight, they became a minister-level -- although the level has gone up, everyone knows what that level means.
Zhan Jidong lay on the bed and thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to do it, seeking benefits in danger, it is better to fight than to stay up like this and not see your head!
With such news and such thoughts, Zhan Jidong didn't care about things like party building inspections, and he hurriedly planned after he finished coping with it, and the progress of the matter far exceeded his expectations, and Zhou Shuming's attention to this matter was beyond his imagination. The two sides soon hit it off.
France's Erin Biopharmaceutical Group has invested 1.6 billion yuan in Beihu. Built the largest production base in the Asia-Pacific region. Of course, Beihu will definitely have to pay a lot of price for this.
In addition to some public discounts in the newspapers, there should be other hidden discounts, and even such hidden discounts are greater than the public ones, which Zhan Jidong is very clear, for example, now that the real estate market is gradually heating up, real estate is really ushering in the era of profiteering, and some cities often give additional land for commercial development when introducing some larger enterprises. This is not because it violates the principles in those overt offers, but it is also very tempting.
Development is a top priority. Again. Because this project is both a high-tech and environmental protection project, and can solve the employment of a large number of people, the employment rate is a very important issue, the employment rate is high, the society is naturally stable, and the harmony is greatly improved. This is undesirable for everyone in the Beihu political circles, and naturally there is no objection to it at the Standing Committee.
As the secretary of the provincial party committee, Zhou Shuming has too many things, and it is impossible to personally take charge of this project, so he must find someone to focus on it, and look around Zhou Shuming. I'm afraid that there are not a few people who want to grasp this project, and grasping the project is different from other work. This is a typical short and fast, it is easy to produce results, and results mean political achievements, even if the main credit for this political achievement is Zhou Shuming, the specific person who is still responsible for it can still share a lot of profits, and there is another point that such a big project is caught in the hands is equivalent to grasping the God of Wealth, not to mention that the headquarters of the Irene Group is in Germany, and the largest shareholder is an Italian consortium, responsible for this project, which means that you can come and go in Europe such as the Apennines in Germany. It's not uncommon for people who want to be specifically responsible for it.
Zhan Jidong really wants to grasp this project, Zhan Jidong looks around Zhou Shuming, he is really suitable, not that he is the closest person to Zhou Shuming, in terms of closeness, it should be Lan Chaohua, but Lan Chaohua has shortcomings, and he has been engaged in party affairs for a long time, and he is a little rusty about the economy, but he is different, he has worked in a company and has been a mayor, Zhan Jidong feels that he is one of the most suitable candidates.
And Zhou Shuming's choice was somewhat unexpected by him, Zhou Shuming chose Vice Governor Jin Zhikai as the main person in charge of this project, of course, he did not completely let go of him, so that he should give Jin Zhikai more support and support.
This made Zhan Jidong a little disappointed, but he could also understand it, after all, such a cooperation Beihu side also had to invest hundreds of millions of funds, if he was allowed to come forward, then it would inevitably be opposed by Lu Zhengdong, and I am afraid that this fund will encounter a lot of twists and turns even if it is in place.
In this way, Jin Zhikai is in the light, and he is in the dark, and he will not lose a choice.
Lu Zhengdong is also insightful about Zhou Shuming's eagerness to introduce the project and his mind at any cost in the concession, according to the current situation of Beihu, such a project is needed, but it is far less urgent than before, and the concession does not need to be so big, but some people say that the project is a ticket, is the seat, in fact, it is far more than a ticket seat, including the various interests in the project and the intricate relationships behind the interests, the project is obviously a great strategic resource, The fundamental purpose of such strategic resources as guò to achieve a certain kind of benefit transfer, to achieve containment and co-optation, etc., is the main reason for stimulating people to rush to engage in projects.
Lu Zhengdong has different views on Zhou Shuming's concession being too big, but such a good project, and if he opposes such a delicate situation with all his might in the current delicate situation, it will leave an impression that what Zhou Shuming wants to do is that he wants to oppose such a person and not the right thing for the sake of opposition, so even if Lu Zhengdong has a different view, he can't oppose it too fiercely, but the concern is inevitable, so some specific connection matters are naturally handed over to Secretary-General Yang Qicheng for coordination.
Yang Qicheng thought that he could go home for a meal quietly at night, and it was really not easy to have a meal at home, this was still in the context of the province's crackdown on eating and drinking, as the secretary general, there were too many entertainments, some of these entertainments were from above, sometimes from below, and it was good to say from below, it was difficult to shirk from above, and the vice governors often called him when they had entertainment. Some dinners, even if they just show up, have a glass of wine and leave, but they have to go, and sometimes he himself can't help laughing at himself, for the Secretary-General. Entertainment is also very important in politics.
It's just about to leave work. Vice Governor Kim Zhi-kai called out of the blue. Said that in the evening, we had a meal with the executives of the Erin Group, and some situations still need to meet.
Helpless, Yang Qicheng had no choice but to go to the appointment, and after arriving at the Hilton Hotel, Vice Governor Jin Zhikai had not yet arrived, but Deputy Secretary-General He Xingming came. With He Xingming, there are also several deputy directors of the General Office, Liu and Jiang Siqing.
Everyone was an acquaintance, Yang Qicheng greeted them one by one and went to the restaurant. Because there is less leadership at higher levels. Yang Qicheng became the head of this group of people, and was warmly courteous by everyone, and Yang Qicheng gladly accepted the compliments and salutes from Deputy Director Liu.
Officialdom is like this, on every occasion, there are different compliments and compliments, although the content is similar, but the way of expression is very different. Deputy Director Liu specifically mentioned that an article was published in Caijing magazine a few days ago.
"From a commanding height, the Secretary-General is really everyone's demeanor."
Yang Qicheng smiled, as the top leader of the provincial government's think tank. Every year, he publishes some articles in several authoritative magazines in the central and provincial governments, some of which talk about the economic and social development and prosperity of Beihu Lake. Some of them are talking about the economic form, and Yang Qicheng is talking about some things about the reform of the economic system, which is a responsive article, and the governor of Zhengdong also spoke highly of this article, and also said that he would organize the study at the provincial government party group study meeting.
Yang Qicheng doesn't think that his article is well written, the key is that the attitude is timely and the attitude determines a qiē, the former coach of the national football team is more appropriate to use in officialdom than on the football field, and it is also a kind of cultivation of leading cadres, and it is also art.
As a newly built five-star hotel, the Hilton Hotel is naturally more modern than the Beihu Hotel of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government in terms of hardware and software conditions, but in Yang Qicheng's view, such a place is modern but always lacks a kind of heritage and a kind of humanistic feelings.
He Xingming saw that he was distracted, and quietly reminded:
"Qu Xinglin will come in a while, she often talks about you."
"Really?" Yang Qicheng asked rhetorically.
He Xingming smiled meaningfully:
"Some people want to see the secretary general."
Yang Qicheng waved his hand, Qu Xinglin is the general manager of Erin Group's Beihu Company, a sea turtle, I heard that he was also an executive of Erin Greater China before, in charge of Southeast Asian affairs, and this time it was specially transferred because of this project.
Now these multinational companies are becoming more and more savvy, and now many of the people in charge of these multinational companies in China are yellow-skinned and black-eyed people from the mainland, and these people are more familiar with various situations in China, especially know how to deal with government departments.
Qu Xinglin is not only a mainlander, but also young and beautiful, and it is said that he is still single, and the reason why He Xingming jokes about him is because he and Qu Xinglin are university alumni.
However, Yang Qicheng is evasive about this relationship, there is a saying that each is his master, this project is strongly advocated by Zhou Shuming of the Provincial Party Committee, so as the secretary general of the government, how to grasp the proportion, Yang Qicheng naturally understands, not setting up obstacles is the maximum, Qu Xinglin wants to find him to accommodate something, this is looking for the wrong person.
Yang Qicheng didn't want to talk about such a thing, so he turned to Deputy Director Liu and asked:
"Is your child getting better?"
Deputy Director Liu was flattered, his daughter had a serious illness a few months ago and was hospitalized once, Yang Qicheng took time out of his busy schedule to visit the hospital, Deputy Director Liu was grateful for this, and today I heard Yang Qicheng ask again, and I was more and more moved. He stood up, like a student answering a teacher's question, and replied respectfully, "Thank you Secretary-General for your concern, the child is now fully recovered." ”
"That's good, I think it's also delayed a lot of learning time, don't pull down the study, today's children are not like us back then, the competition is very fierce, don't lose at the starting line."
Deputy Director Liu immediately nodded:
"The Secretary-General is right, I have been tutoring for a summer vacation, and I have made up for the delay."
These people are all under him, and Yang Qicheng remembers what happened in their family very clearly. During the New Year's holidays, the logistics office wants to divide things, and Yang Qicheng always has to tell them, and those who have elderly and children will give an extra share. Although these people are not lacking in that little thing, when they do this, it is not the same emotionally. Some people say that his prestige in the government is higher than that of the vice governor, not that he has great power, but that he has a heart.
Only when there is a heart can we unite people, there is popularity, and popularity is not very important on weekdays. Critical time. It can be of great use. Someone who can get under the nose of the governor and vice governor. Each is a clairvoyant, and the cities below also have their own strength. Yang Qicheng has always insisted on active unity if he can be united.
In a certain way, the political system of people is to let themselves have as many friends as possible, and the fewer enemies as possible, so that the odds of victory are much greater.
As he was talking, the sound of talking sounded outside, He Xingming said "coming", and everyone got up together. Go outside. When he went out, Deputy Director Liu walked faster, and almost walked out of the hall before Yang Qicheng. Realizing that he had made a mistake, he suddenly stopped his steps and waited sideways for Yang Qicheng and He Xingming to go first. Yang Qicheng found that He Xingming's face had secretly revealed unhappiness.
Subordinates can not rob the superior at any time, who committed, even if it is unintentional, it is also their own and their own can not get by, this is the iron law. Therefore, it is rare for Deputy Director Liu to go up, and at the same age as He Xingming, He Xingming is already the deputy secretary-general. He is also in the position of deputy director......
Yang Qicheng stretched out his hands and warmly shook hands with Jin Zhikai, and then shook hands with the executives of Erin's headquarters one by one, and at the same time made a respectful gesture and asked them to go inside. When it was Qu Xinglin's turn, Yang Qicheng smiled and stretched out his hand, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Qu here, fortunately, fortunately." ”
Although Yang Qicheng took the initiative, he didn't dare to look at Qu Xinglin's eyes more, this "female alumnus" has beautiful eyes, and she has eaten foreign bread for a few years and drank foreign ink for a few years, and her style is very Westernized, and her understanding of the word implicit is obviously different from that of domestic people, and her eyes are hot.
Although Qu Xinglin may not mean that, he is obviously very aware of his advantages, and it is also a good means to give full play to his beautiful advantages.
During the warm welcome of Yang Qicheng and He Xingming, Deputy Director Liu and others stood aside with an unnatural smile on their faces. They are not qualified to come up and shake hands with the leaders and VIPs one by one, so they can only stand at a distance and welcome them with a smile. Jin Zhikai just nodded to them briefly, and then went in surrounded by several senior executives of the Erin Group. Yang Qicheng rushed to the front again, and when Jin Zhikai's steps arrived at the restaurant, he and He Xingming were already standing by the door on the left and right.
Since Vice Governor Zhang Xinwen encountered Waterloo, Jin Zhikai is the closest vice governor to the provincial government and Secretary Zhou, the more so, the more Yang Qicheng has to be courteous in front of Jin Zhikai, and he must have due respect, this is the attitude that a secretary general who serves the governors should have, as for how to do some things that are really important, that is another matter,
The host and guest were seated one by one. Yang Qiwei wanted to sit far away from Jin Zhikai, and it was very painful to sit next to the leader. I don't know if others have similar feelings, Yang Qicheng thinks so. Every time he eats, he will find a way to keep himself away from the leader, which is the opposite of at work. Unexpectedly, Jin Zhikai patted the chair next to him and said:
"Lao Yang, sit here, it's convenient for us to talk."
Yang Qicheng had no choice but to sit down, on the left of Jin Zhikai was Mr. Hyde from the French headquarters of the Irene Group, very young, less than forty years old, and on the right, it was Yang Qicheng, and on the right of Yang Qicheng, he actually sat Qu Xinglin. It seems that it is unintentional, but in fact, there is a heart, Yang Qicheng is a little uneasy, and he is a little comfortable in his heart, after all, it is also a very good thing to be next to a beautiful woman.
The meal was prepared in advance, and after the cold dishes were served, Jin Zhikai said a few words, which meant to thank Mr. Hyde and his assistant Miss Angel for coming to Beihu to jointly make suggestions for the specific development of Erin Baylake, and also thanked Miss Qu Xinglin, Vice President of Erin Group Greater China and General Manager of Erin Baylake, for her fruitful work and good cooperation some time ago.
The operation progress of Erin Bay Lake is lower than expected, due to many reasons, there are also improvements in the Bay Lake, and some basic work should be further strengthened, in this regard, the province has made adjustments, Jin Zhikai also expressed his position to Erin on behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government.
Jin Zhikai finished speaking, picked up the red wine glass, drank it all, and said that this glass of wine is a summary of the previous work, from today onwards, Erin Beihu will move forward with a new look and speed, Jin Zhikai's speech won a round of applause, it was He Xingming who took the lead in applauding, and Yang Qicheng also smiled and applauded.
Then, on behalf of Erin's headquarters, he said that the work was not satisfactory some time ago, and Erin was also responsible, mainly because the work on technology licensing and technical confidentiality was more complicated than expected, which affected the arrangement of funds and the progress of the project, and he also had a drink. Apologize.
Mr. Hyde went on to emphasise. within the week. There will be 50 million in the account, which can be used for project construction, and 40 million will be received every half month in the future.
After Hyde finished speaking, it was Qu Xinglin's turn, Qu Xinglin picked up the wine glass, and said generously: "Xing Lin is stupid, I really don't dare to talk about this kind of occasion." It's better to replace it with wine, and it's all in the wine. I believe that Erin's cooperation with Baylake will be a pleasure and a win-win situation. ”
After speaking, he craned his neck and drank a full glass of red wine.
Yang Qicheng understood what was going on, the original agreement was that Erin would invest 500 million yuan in the early stage and invest 500 million yuan in the construction of infrastructure, but in the process of implementation, Erin felt that this was a bit inappropriate, and Erin was a high-tech industry. Beihu did not have the talent resources in this area, and the venue was also quite different from the original contract. It is also necessary to invest an additional amount of money in personnel training and a large part of the funds to deal with this matter, so the corresponding requirements for Beihu to take the lead in terms of infrastructure.
Hearing what the two parties said, Yang Qicheng lowered his head, as if he was thinking, in fact, it was a conditioned reflex that encountered a difficult question to answer, Yang Qicheng was silently calculating an account, which meant that Beihu would have to pay an extra 50 million, not to mention, and he had to pay about 130 million in advance if Erin's funds were not in place.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Jin Zhikai said with a smile:
"Lao Yang, tell me, are there any difficulties?"
Yang Qicheng raised his head, habitually looked around, and said:
"Since both sides are open and honest, many things are easy to do, and now the important thing is not the progress of the project, as long as the project is built quickly and the benefits are seen one day earlier, our expectations can be achieved one day earlier."
"Xingming, what about you?" Jin Zhikai turned the conversation to He Xingming again, and He Xingming didn't have any opinions.
"Okay, since the two secretaries-general have the same opinion, I think this matter will be easy to handle, so you will bother more about the dispatch of financial funds, Lao Yang, and meet more with the comrades of the Finance Department."
Speaking of this, he set his eyes on Yang Qicheng, and a warm smile appeared on his face, "How about Old Yang, this problem has to be handed over to you." ”
Yang Qicheng understood very well that Jin Zhikai invited him to sing a Hongmen banquet, in fact, Jin Zhikai didn't discuss such a problem with him at all, Jin Zhikai borrowed it from the dinner table to tell it, just to ventilate him, how to do it, Jin Zhikai already had a number.
However, there are strict regulations on the use of financial funds in the province, Lu Zhengdong, in order to let the limited financial funds be used to the best of the blade, the secretary of the provincial party committee has the power of personnel, and the governor has the financial power, which is the usual practice, of course, as a project introduced by the secretary of the provincial party committee, the Department of Finance will definitely not dare to slack off, and Jin Zhikai will not need him to do the work of the Department of Finance, but hopes that he will mediate in the middle to let Governor Lu not get a card.
Seeing Jin Zhikai looking at him expectantly, Yang Qicheng smiled reluctantly:
"I can only talk about trying to coordinate and try to fight."
He must not make a statement about such a thing.
"With your Lao Yang coming forward, things will be easy to do, come, I'll toast you!"
As he spoke, Jin Zhikai took the lead in raising his glass. Pu Tiancheng hurriedly raised his glass and drank it in front of Jin Zhikai. As soon as the wine glass was put down, Qu Xinglin's voice sounded here:
"I also salute the Secretary-General, thank the Secretary-General for his long-term support and help to Erin, and many things in the future will be inseparable from the Secretary-General."
Yang Qicheng wanted to resign, but Jin Zhikai helped:
"Yes, each of you should give the Secretary-General a glass."
Now it's okay, the spearhead is aimed at him, there was no toasting procedure, and the atmosphere of the meal was not warm, but now that the matter to be talked about has been finalized, everyone is relaxed, Jin Zhikai mentioned this, and the others immediately responded, and toasted Yang Qicheng in turn?
Yang Qicheng drank Jin Zhikai's, Qu Xinglin's, and didn't drink other people's, so he really couldn't say it, so he had to bite the bullet and clink glasses with them one by one. After a few cups, Yang Qicheng's brain was a little dizzy, and when he looked at Qu Xinglin again, he had an ethereal and illusory feeling.
In the middle of the meal, Jin Zhikai looked at his watch and said that it was not early, and he had to leave early, so that Yang Qicheng and He Xingming would entertain the guests.
Everyone sent Jin Zhikai, Hyde, and Miss Anqi away, Yang Qicheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless, Jin Zhikai and others slapped their butts and left, and his troubles were still to come.
Qu Xinglin didn't go with the people from Erin's headquarters, and Yang Qicheng naturally knew what she meant to stay, so Yang Qicheng signaled Deputy Director Liu to move really. As soon as Deputy Director Liu saw Yang Qicheng giving them a look, he knew that Qu Xinglin was the target of today's wine, so he took turns to salute and say something flattering and very pleasing to them. Qu Xinglin didn't know what the plan was at first, and thought that she was sincerely respecting her, so she drank it honestly. I didn't know that this drink put myself into a trap.
The deputy secretaries-general and directors of the provincial party committee and the provincial government have no chance to show themselves at the wine table on weekdays, and the big leaders are here, so they can only be respectful, at most, when the leaders don't want to drink or really can't drink, they use their stomachs to relieve the siege for the leaders and save face. Some people say that half of the secretary-general's stomach is for the leader, and the amount of alcohol is all for the leader to drink on behalf of the leader, which is true.
As for the deputy secretary-general, they are not just the stomach, as long as they sit at the wine table, the whole person becomes a leader. They almost don't eat at all, and they are open to let others eat, but they can't lack wine, not only for the leaders, but also for the guests, as if they were born to live for others. This kind of dumb wine is very painful to drink, depressing, depressed, and has to laugh, and must not be drunk, if it is out of shape, this official will be the end. Therefore, the deputy secretaries-general all call this kind of wine strong liquor and test wine. If anyone doesn't have this ability, this seat won't be long in coming. But once the leader leaves, they become the masters, the scene is completely different, they are immediately active from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, raise their arms and shake their hands, no matter what kind of god you are, let you show your original form on the wine.
Qu Xinglin obviously didn't expect that these officials who had just been gentle and elegant, and who were very measured in dealing with people, persuaded them to drink violently, and only had the power to parry, and there was no chance to find Yang Qicheng to contact the alumni, and in the end, it was He Xingming who drank wine before he was forced to go to Liangshan.
It's just that Yang Qicheng didn't escape, He Xingming, Deputy Director Liu and others didn't dare to do anything to him, even if He Xingming followed Jin Zhikai and didn't dare to follow him.
But Jiang Siqing dared, no one wants to offend such an aunt and grandmother.
Regarding Jiang Siqing, Yang Qicheng is naturally very attentive, this is no wonder Yang Qicheng, he is naturally sensitive to women, plus Jiang Siqing's identity from everyone in the capital, although this family has declined a little, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, such a special identity, what her political tendencies are, and the purpose of her coming to the Beihu Provincial Government, all forced him to make the necessary understanding of her.
As the secretary-general, he also has a task that is difficult to say to the outside world, that is, to pay attention to and observe the women around the main leaders.
Of course, this understanding is well-intentioned, and it is all for the safety of the main leaders. If he does meet that kind of woman with ulterior motives, even if he falls out of favor, he has to say it. As for whether it works, that's another matter, and if you don't say it, he's incompetent...... (To be continued......)
