Chapter 496: Conspiracy (Part 1)
After knowing the results of the Chengsha Highway bidding, Yi Zhongling turned around and returned to Shazhou without saying a word.
When he returned to Shazhou, he called Huang Ziti, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and said, "Secretary Huang, Zhongda has already made arrangements. I will invite Minister Zhu Minsheng to dinner at the Venus Hotel in the evening. I will go to Lingxi to wait first."
Zhu Minsheng is the executive vice minister of the Organization Department of the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee. He is serious and has always been lukewarm to the first-level officials of the prefecture-level officials. His attitude is actually quite prestigious among the prefecture-level officials.
For deputy secretary of Huang Ziti at the level, if he continues to rely entirely on Zhou Changquan, he will be unable to move forward. Therefore, after becoming the deputy secretary of the listed party committee, he will never be able to establish his own network of relationships. In his planned network of relationships, Zhu Minsheng, executive vice minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, is not the highest-level leader, but the most valuable category.
Now that the provincial and municipal adjustments have been launched in the country, if you want to get a piece of the pie, Zhu Minsheng, the executive vice minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, seems very critical. As the saying goes, it is better to manage the current officials than to manage them. For Huang Ziti, Zhu Minsheng is the type of person who is currently managed. Huang Ziti has not been in charge of organizational work for a long time, and he has nodded with Zhu Minsheng. If you want to open up this relationship, you have to find another way.
And among the people he knew, there happened to be a key to unlock the lock.
During the three-learning education activity, Huang Ziti met Director Yi Zhongda of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. He inquired about Yi Zhongda's background from the side and then deliberately accepted it.
When Yi Zhong reached the work of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, he happened to be Zhu Minsheng. At that time, Zhu Minsheng was still the deputy director who was on the bench. His deputy director was as numerous as a fancy to the provincial party committee, and at that time, his subordinates only took care of Yi Zhongda, a soldier.
The two sat in the same office for four years, and Zhu Minsheng could not see any hope at that time. He often complained in front of Yi Zhongda. Unexpectedly, four years later, Zhu Minsheng's fortune suddenly changed, from deputy director to executive vice minister, as if he was on the flat ground.
From then on, Zhu Minsheng did not complain, and he tidied up a neat and majestic look, and became the famous cold-faced director.
Huang Zidi boarded Zhu Minsheng's ship through the Yi Zhongda line.
In the evening, Huang Zidi arrived at the Venus Hotel. Yi Zhongling had already greeted him at the door.
Yi Zhongling said diligently: "The Minister of People's Livelihood is holding a meeting and it ends at 6:30. When the meeting ends, Zhongda will accompany him."
"Okay, okay." Huang Ziti said ok twice. After entering the room, he asked casually: "What is the result when the bid was opened this morning?"
“Failed.”
Huang Ziti frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Yi Zhongling said: "Chengjin County is amazing now. In order to bid, it has invited both the provincial TV station and the Lingxi newspaper, which is more powerful than the city's bidding office. Hou Weidong talks about system construction, so I was eliminated."
Huang Ziti's smile on his face became a little stiff. For a section of Chengsha Highway, he called Hou Weidong twice and told him in person once, but Hou Weidong actually refused to sell the bill. His dignity was deeply hurt, and he felt a little angry and thought to himself, "I think someone is afraid of being supportive. Zhou Changquan can't be the secretary of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee for the rest of his life. Young people are young people, and they don't consider the consequences."
Yi Zhongling also added a fire on the side. "The bidding for Chengsha Highway is open and transparent on the surface, and there are definitely many inside stories. The four companies that won the bid have backgrounds, one of which is Seiko Group. They once built a house at the Yiyang New Management Committee. From the Yiyang Expressway, the most obvious building group was developed by Seiko Group."
He laughed and said, "Seiko Group is the beautiful boss. The beautiful boss comes forward and is invincible."
This fire accurately burned Huang Zidi's pain point, and Huang Zidi's face looked ugly. However, he has been an official for many years and has good ability to control anger. He did not show anger in front of Yi Zhongling. The more angry he was, the more he was embarrassed.
In the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Changquan was receiving several leaders from the Provincial Water Resources Department, while Hou Weidong was patiently waiting in Chu Xiuhong's office.
"This tea is a little worse. It should be the next year of Longjing. Secretary Zhou only likes to drink Mingqian tea. You have to ask Yi Yang to give you some Mingqian tea that is too fresh." Hou Weidong took a sip of Chu Xiuhong and brewed the tea, reminding him kindly.
Chu Xiuhong was startled and hurriedly took out the tea leaves in the cabinet, put them in front of his nose and sniffed them, saying embarrassedly: "I rarely drink tea and don't know much about this."
"What are you drinking at night?"
“Drink coffee.”
Hou Weidong smiled and said, "Secretary Zhou never drinks coffee, only drinks green tea. You should make some preparations, especially when you are on a business trip, put some good tea in an iron box and carry it with you." He pointed to the tea cabinet with his finger and said, "Before I left, I specially put the small box in the tea cabinet."
Chu Xiuhong took out the small iron box from the cabinet. The iron box was very delicate and it was written on it. It was the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Yiyang Tea Factory in Shazhou. He said shamelessly: "Thank you, Brother Hou, I will pay attention to this detail in the future."
Hou Weidong was afraid that Chu Xiuhong would not be able to get over the face, so he said tactfully: "Xiuhong, personal opinions are purely reference."
Chu Xiuhong has been following Zhou Changquan for several months. From Zhou Changquan, he often heard Hou Weidong's name, but never heard the name of the previous secretary. From this point, we can see Hou Weidong's status in Zhou Changquan's mind. He hoped that Hou Weidong would reveal more tips and said sincerely: "Brother Hou can give advice because he cares about me. He does not treat me as an outsider. I hope Brother Hou can give more advice."
If Zhou Changquan is selected as secretary, he must have basic qualities. Hou Weidong believes in Zhou Changquan's vision, so he directly pointed out what Chu Xiuhong did not do well. If it were Huang Ziti's secretary Yang Teng, even if he made a bigger mistake, he would not point it out in person.
"Xiao Chu, has Hou Weidong arrived? I'm here, please invite him to the central conference room. The leaders of the Provincial Water Resources Department will arrive soon." Secretary-General Hong Ang called Chu Xiuhong in the small conference room.
"I heard that the Provincial Water Resources Department wants to do hydropower in Chengjin County. Director Qiu and Director Wu have arrived. Secretary General asks you to attend the symposium together for a while." Chu Xiuhong sighed to Hou Weidong again: "Secretary Zhou really values you and put such a good project in Chengjin."
Hou Weidong smiled and said, "No wonder I reported to Secretary Zhou in the morning. He said he had something to come to me, which made me a little nervous. Xiu Hong, and I will take care of Chengjin more in the future."
Chu Xiuhong hurriedly said, "What did Brother Hou say? I'll kill me."
After waiting in the Central Conference Room for a while, Secretary Zhou Changquan, Mayor Liu Bing, and Executive Vice Mayor Bu Haiyun arrived one after another. Then Secretary Hong Ang brought people from the Water Resources Department into the Central Conference Room.
The director of the Water Resources Department’s surname is Guan and his name is Haiyang. When Zhou Changquan shook hands with him, he joked: “The provincial party committee is wise, and the director of the Management Department can even manage Haiyang. No wonder the work of the Water Resources Department is so outstanding.”
The work of the Water Resources Department has improved greatly in recent years. One of the reasons is that Guan Haiyang was originally a water conservancy expert, but experts took action, so it was naturally extraordinary. It increased the business of the Water Resources Department by a large part. Another reason is that Wu Ying, whenever he encountered difficulties in asking for money or people and policies, as long as Wu Ying took action, he could generally solve it.
The perfect combination of external factors and internal factors makes it difficult for the Water Resources Department to not improve its work.
When Hou Weidong shook hands with Wu Ying, Wu Ying said, "Secretary Xiao Hou is very good." This sentence caused some ripples in Hou Weidong's heart, but his expression was still calm, and he said, "Director Wu, please take time to come to Chengjin to inspect." Wu Ying smiled and said, "The project is in Chengjin, I will definitely come down."
After the symposium officially began, the leader's expression became solemn.
After a simple opening remark, Director Guan Haiyang said: "The Zhushuihe Hydropower Project is not a new project. From the initial proposal to now, after fifteen years, it has finally entered a substantive stage with the efforts of all parties. It is hard to come by."
After talking about a few important meanings, Director Guan pointed to Zhu Xiaoyong sitting aside and said, "Hengqing Group is a strong group company under the jurisdiction of the Department of Water Resources, specializing in the construction of hydropower stations and other water conservancy projects. This time, the Provincial Government of the Zhushuihe Hydropower Project has decided to organize and implement it by Hengqing Group. Zhu Xiaoyong is the group's deputy general manager and the specific person in charge of the Zhushuihe Hydropower Project. He is a professor-level water conservancy expert with superb business."
Most of the people here know Zhu Xiaoyong's background. It should be a good thing to build a hydropower station like this.
This is the first symposium of the Zhushuihe Hydropower Project. It mainly sets a framework, and the specific content of the project is basically not covered.
Zhou Changquan also expressed his opinion: "The implementation of the first phase of the Zhushui River Hydropower Station is the concern of the provincial party committee and government for Shazhou, and it is also a test for us. Regarding the specific implementation of the Zhushui River Hydropower Station, our city will organize a strong team, led by Executive Vice Mayor Bu Haiyun, and the office director is Hou Weidonglai. After this meeting, the municipal government will promptly implement it."
After the symposium procedure was completed, everyone relaxed. Guan Haiyang glanced at the surprisingly young deputy secretary of the county party committee and said, "Secretary Hou, your task is very heavy. The difficulty of the hydropower station is not in the engineering, but in the relationship with the people. Without the support of the people, the road cannot be built, immigration is blocked, and land adjustment is difficult. These problems cannot be taken lightly. We have learned profound lessons in doing water conservancy projects in recent years."
Hou Weidong had been in contact with specific work in Qinglin Town and the New Management Committee. He knew that Guan Haiyang said it was true. When he held a symposium, he had long thought of this question and said: "The Zhushui River hydropower project is beneficial to the present and future generations. It is not only a hydropower project, but also an ecological project. As long as the publicity is in place and the policies and measures are in place, I believe that the people along the coast will understand and support it. The Chengjin County Party Committee and County Government are confident and determined to do a good job in the Zhushui River project."
While having dinner, Zhu Xiaoyong and Hou Weidong ran to the balcony of the aisle to smoke. Zhu Xiaoyong smiled and said, "I have to take root in Chengjin for a while and come to worship you, the landlord. I heard that Chengjin Mountain is fierce and the bandits were terrifying before the liberation. Director Guan talked about this many times. If the Zhushuihe project is done well, it has to rely on the Chengjin County Party Committee and County Government."
He said again: "My mother saw that painting and liked it very much, and she took it into the study."
There was a question that Hou Weidong kept in his heart, and then asked, "Will Secretary Meng have any objections to this matter?" Zhu Xiaoyong said, "My father is still very broad-minded and he doesn't care about these love affairs at all."
Hou Weidong thought about the scenes of Meng Haofang appearing on TV and said intimately: "I don't know what issues are being considered in the mind of the provincial party secretary."
