Sunday's first chapter.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After Yang Senlin walked into the conference room, Mayor Liu Bing and another tall and thin middle-aged man walked into the small conference room with a chat and laughter, followed by Jiang Jin, director of the Municipal Planning Commission, Ji Haiyang, director of the Finance Bureau, Yu Pingjing, director of the Land and Resources Bureau, and other main leaders of relevant departments.

After sitting down, Liu Bing introduced: "Today I am honored to invite Comrade Lu Jun, deputy director of the Provincial Planning Commission, to welcome you."

"Comrade Lu Jun is an expert in the phosphate mine issue in our province. He will talk about phosphate mine from a higher perspective. Comrade Weidong, Hunan and Chongqing, and Chengjin will soon assume the important tasks assigned by the provincial party committee and government. This is a very valuable learning opportunity. If you have any questions, you can ask Comrade Lu Jun for advice."

Lu Jun said modestly: "The Chengjin Phosphate Mine Remediation is well-known in the province. The two comrades in the county are the real experts. Let's communicate together."

After completing the courtesy, Liu Bing conveyed the spirit of the relevant meetings of the provincial government and seriously emphasized discipline: "Today's meeting is a small-scale work meeting. At this meeting, everyone exchanged situations, studied issues, unified thinking, and set the tone for the next step of negotiations with Shengbao Group. Although all the participants at the meeting today are department-level and above, I will reiterate the discipline of confidentiality. The things studied at today's meeting are related to the negotiations of Shengbao Company, and everyone has no obligation to promote."

"Next, Comrade Lu Jun, please tell you about the current situation and relevant policies of phosphate ore in the province."

After the applause stopped, Lu Jun said: "I spent some time in Lingxi Chemical before, and I can't be an expert. I just had a certain understanding of phosphate ore. I made an exchange from three aspects. The issues I discussed may not be related to Shengbao Group. Instead, it is more macro. I hope that the specific responsible comrades have a global understanding of the phosphate ore issue."

"Phospheric ore is a wide range of uses. It is not only the main raw material for the production of phosphorus fertilizers, but also an important strategic resource involving national security. Phosphorus chemical products are widely used in dozens of fields such as building materials, medicine, pesticides, electronics, etc. A considerable part of the phosphorus ore mined in our province is used for export, and the export volume is increasing year by year. A large number of raw ore are sold overseas."

He paused: "From an economic perspective, it is not economical to sell raw ore purely. In order to promote the rational development and utilization of resource-based products, the province's dominant policy is to curb exports, and has taken measures such as reducing the export tax rebate ratio, and is more inclined to carry out deep processing based on its own. This is the background of Shengbao Group's investment in our province."

"Although the province's dominant policy is to curb the export of raw ore, the export price of phosphate ore has continued to rise in the past two years, and the average price per ton has gradually risen from more than ten US dollars to more than twenty US dollars. The price increase offsets the loss of tax rebate cancellation. Under the stimulation of economic interests, some places and mine owners have begun to dig devastatingly. The phosphate mines and rich mines in our province are mixed together. Many small mines only mine rich mines, and all the poor mines are abandoned. In some areas of our province, 9 to 10 tons of poor mines will be discarded for every ton of rich mines. This is one of the important reasons why the provincial government needs to rectify phosphate mines."

...

"In addition, due to years of disorderly mining, the ecological environment is severely damaged, and it is difficult for people and livestock to drink water. There are 59 cracks and disaster points in the house. Large areas of land are stopped and it is difficult to reclaim."

When Lu Jun finished speaking, Liu Bing called Hou Weidong's name and said, "Secretary Weidong, I see you have been taking notes. If you have any questions, please ask the experts? Or what do you think?"

Hou Weidong said sincerely: "Listen to Director Lu's speech is like drinking sweet springs, which is better than reading ten years of books." Lu Jun laughed: "Secretary Hou is so polite. The provincial government issued a document on rectifying phosphate mines last year, and Chengjin County was able to complete it smoothly. The combat effectiveness of the Chengjin team is extraordinary."

Liu Bing then ordered the Municipal Land and Real Estate Bureau Yu Pingjing and said, "Director Pingjing, you are in charge of minerals. What are your opinions?"

Yu Pingjing said: "Director Lu has discussed the issue of phosphate ore thoroughly. I have no more opinions. I only mention one thing. In the future, Chengjin County should pay attention to the work that phosphate ore mining and sorting enterprises must handle mining rights certificates and various relevant procedures in accordance with the law, and mine them in an orderly manner within the scope of the mining rights. A continuous mining area, including later structural damage, caused by the ore body to be interrupted within 3,000 meters, will only issue one mining rights certificate and be developed by a legal entity."

Jiang Xiangyu is the top administrative leader and knows more about this matter. He said: "After the Municipal Bureau held a work meeting, Comrade Jiang Xiaobo proposed the entry method for the selection and selection industry in Chengjin County, and the county has agreed."

The meeting ended until 11 o'clock, and all the participants expressed their opinions. Overall, the meeting was held very solidly and the issue of phosphate mine in Shazhou was discussed thoroughly.

Hou Weidong made preparations in advance and gained a lot.

When the meeting was about to end, Liu Bing's serious expression was relaxed and he smiled and said, "No comrades here will leave today. They will arrange to be at the Shazhou Hotel at noon. Everyone should toast Director Lu with a glass of wine. To borrow a word from Secretary Wei Dong and listen to Jun's words is better than reading for ten years. We decision makers keep our minds clear so that we can do things well. From this perspective, the meeting in the morning was very valuable."

"Secondly, Secretary-General Yang's appointment has been completed. He is still the Secretary-General, but he is the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. He has a hat of standing committee member. Comrade Forest Lin cooperated well with you during his tenure as Secretary-General of the Municipal Government. At noon, everyone expressed their feelings. How about it?"

When the mayor started a drunken war, the comrades present naturally rose and responded.

Yang Senlin begged for mercy and said, "Forest wine is shallow, everyone is proud of you. Please forgive me if the service is not thoughtful."

During the entire meeting, since Jiang Xiangyu did not make any preparations, he made a brief speech based on the situation he had mastered in his daily work, focusing on how to strengthen the management of phosphate mines, and particularly emphasized the problem of wealth mining and poverty reduction in mining. The content of his speech came from daily work, but it was practical and realistic.

This is also in line with his usual style. Whenever Hou Weidong is present, try to keep a low profile and not steal the limelight.

When Jiang Xiangyu spoke, Liu Bing said intimately: "Chengjin's team, Hou Weidong is strong, Jiang Xiangyu is weak, and the two teams complement each other. If a strong county magistrate goes, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and it may mess up the current stable situation."

After Yang Senlin was promoted, Liu Bing was thinking about the candidate for the secretary-general of the municipal government. He looked down on the two existing deputy secretary-generals, and he was even more unwilling to use the people recommended by Zhu Minsheng. The county magistrates of four counties and the heads of several departments were all under his consideration. Today, after listening to Jiang Xiangyu's low-key speech, he thought that Jiang Xiangyu was about to be transferred from Chengjin County. He couldn't help but lit up: "Jiang Xiangyu is an old county magistrate who worked at the grassroots level, with rich experience and good abilities. What's more valuable is that he knows how to give in. It's not bad to let him be the secretary-general of the municipal government."

When we arrived at the Shazhou Hotel, under the instigation of Mayor Liu Bing, everyone stood up at Yang Senlin and attacked him. Yang Senlin had to be ashamed after drinking, and soon became as red as Guan Gong.

Looking at Yang Senlin's blushing face, Hou Weidong remembered the first time he met Yang Senlin. At that time, Yang Senlin first arrived at Yiyang as county magistrate, and acted vigorously and banned. After arriving at the development zone, he forcibly closed several amino acid companies. This caused controversy at the time. Later facts proved that this decision was correct. Although some taxes were lost, it protected the environment and improved the value-added potential of Yiyang Development Zone.

In the days that followed, Yang Senlin was gradually tied up by the scheming Ma Youcai until he was transferred to the position of Secretary-General of the Shazhou Municipal Government. Now, the veteran Ma Youcai continues to serve as the county party secretary, but Yang Senlin has become a member of the Standing Committee of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General.

Officialdom is like chess, life is like play, lament.

Lu Jun, deputy director of the Provincial Planning Commission, was very interested in Hou Weidong. When Hou Weidong came to toast, he left the chair with a glass of wine, stood by the table, and said, "Secretary Hou, I have a few more words about the matter of phosphate mine."

Hou Weidong hurriedly said: "Your instructions."

"There are no instructions, just some superficial ideas." Lu Jun said: "The requirements for foreign-funded enterprises are too high today. They are accurate in the mainland's funding projects and blindly pursuing political achievements. They often put forward harsh conditions. Personally, I would rather be a provincial enterprise to carry out deep processing. Of course, we have to implement decisions in the province."

Hou Weidong had contact with Fan Desheng and had a certain understanding of this situation. At this time, seeing that the Lu army was full of worry, he became solemn and said, "Can Director Lu explain it to me more thoroughly?"

"I haven't seen the conditions of Shengbao Group now, so I can't explain it thoroughly. Remember my phone number and call me anytime when you encounter problems during negotiations."

Hou Weidong was still excited when the meeting was held in the morning. After hearing a few words from Lu Jun after drinking, he recalled the land issue that Zhou Changquan had reminded him, and he slowly calmed down.

After lunch, Yang Senlin was drunk. Liu Kun, who was dining in the lobby outside, helped him into the car and took him home.

Director Ji Haiyang quietly said: "Don't go back to the county in the afternoon. In the evening, Chiang Kai-shek will come down and have dinner together." Hou Weidong said: "Director Jiang sent two off-road vehicles to the county last month. I haven't expressed his gratitude yet. Today is a good opportunity." Ji Haiyang said: "You wait for my phone call at that time and see you."

Jiang Xiangyu was about to leave, but Secretary Xiao Qin called him and said softly: "Come to Mayor Liu's office in the afternoon, and I have something to do to find you."

"Director Qin, what's going on?"

Secretary Xiao Qin didn't know what was going on, but he heard a slight smell from Liu Bing's words and vaguely guessed something. He said it without knowing it and said, "I don't know, but Mayor Liu said hello intently, which should be a good thing."

Secretary Xiao Qin's mysterious attitude made Jiang Xiangyu confused, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and thoughtful.

Everyone went downstairs and when Liu Bing's car left, Hou Weidong said to Jiang Xiangyu: "I will do business in the city in the afternoon and will not go back. Tomorrow we will first meet and then convey the spirit of Mayor Liu's speech in a small way."

Jiang Xiangyu said vaguely: "Okay, meet tomorrow." After Hou Weidong's car left, he turned around and returned to the hotel.
