When I was traveling with my father, I hurriedly posted a chapter before leaving. I made many mistakes and apologized deeply!

…………………………………………

Before leaving, Hou Weidong's most concerned thing was the negotiations with Shengbao Group. If the matter was negotiated reasonably, Chengjin County would benefit a lot, especially the fiscal revenue would be greatly improved. However, if Shengbao Group asked for too high a price, it would be a troublesome.

Hou Weidong not only needs to consider the interests, but also the attitude of the municipal party committee and government. In particular, Zhu Minsheng signed for Shengbao Group many times. His attitude will have an important impact on the negotiations and put huge pressure on the negotiators in Chengjin County.

For this reason, Hou Weidong specially invited Zeng Zhaoqiang to have a conversation.

After Jiang Xiangyu left, Hou Weidong had thought many times about who was the successor of the county magistrate. He never thought that the new county magistrate was Zeng Zhaoqiang, who was already older. When he was working in Yiyang and Qinglin, he had close contact with Zeng Zhaoqiang and had economic contacts. Therefore, Zeng Zhaoqiang was the person he least wanted to partner with.

Since Zeng Zhaoqiang came to Chengjin, he has mostly met Hou Weidong in public places. The two of them drank alone and ate together for the first time. He and Hou Weidong had a drink and had a heart-to-heart talk.

"County Magistrate Zeng, I'm going to leave for a month, I'll give you the matter in the county."

"Secretary Hou, Chengjin's overall development is very good, and there is no major problem. The one with the greatest pressure at present is Shengbao Group. It is difficult to grasp the negotiations. If you don't pay attention, you will not please several times."

"I think there are three other benefits as standards for this matter. The negotiation results should be conducive to the development of Chengjin's social productivity, to improve Chengjin's comprehensive strength, and to improve the living standards of Chengjin's people. With this as standard, the county party committee and county government are satisfied, and the people are satisfied, and the leaders are satisfied, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"Secretary Hou, can you say it more specifically?"

"Shengbao Group is asking for a huge price, we have to sit back and pay back the money. They are currently asking for 1,000 acres of land, export tax rebates, tax refunds, and guaranteed raw materials. These issues can be discussed. But the only condition is not to let the county suffer losses, and the win-win result is something that everyone should be able to accept."

Since the negotiations with Shengbao Group are still in progress, the participants include Shazhou Deputy Mayor Gao Rong, the Municipal Planning Commission Director Jiang Jin and the county government’s main leaders, he only talked about one major principle.

Zeng Zhaoqiang knew this was difficult. Maybe he was not a person inside or outside, and said, "Person Gao's attitude was very clear. Her idea was to keep Shengbao Group with the best conditions. Only when there are more enterprises in Chengjin can Chengjin truly develop."

"Shengbao Group is with the Chengjin County Government, and the main body is the Chengjin County Government. The ultimate responsibility is me and you. As for Deputy Mayor Gao, she is the superior leader to guide the work of the county government. I think that as long as we act according to three favorable principles, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will respect our opinions."

Hou Weidong and Gao Rong had a gap. During the period of rectifying the phosphate mine, Gao Rong wanted to protect Lao Gou from the Land and Real Estate Bureau, but he insisted on changing Lao Gou to a job, and later transferred Lao Gou from a leadership position to a non-leader position. After this, Hou Weidong clearly felt Gao Rong's dissatisfaction.

"Secretary Hou, let me talk about more specific things. Can this ten million land be given to Shengbao Group for free? If the price is required, it is generally reasonable."

"Land cannot be free. The county can still get taxes and political achievements in the future. However, the conditions of the county must cause losses to farmers. This stop loss point must be calculated carefully by relevant departments. This stop loss point can be used as the bottom line of negotiations."

After talking about the important matters, Hou Weidong and Zeng Zhaoqiang recalled every bit of Jae Yi Yang, and the atmosphere gradually improved. This was the first time they talked about Yi Yang in person. Of course, they only talked about Yi Nian's people and affairs. The two carefully avoided the matter of going to the Qinglin Dawan Stoneyard.

When Hou Weidong was building a stone yard on the mountain, Zeng Zhaoqiang was the director of Yiyang County Transportation Bureau. When he was engaged in transportation, he insisted on asking the gravel association to advance the full amount and make Hou Weidong, Qin Dajiang, Zeng Xiangang and others die. Later, Zeng Zhaoqiang's wife Wang Ying saw that the stone yard is profitable, so she and Zhu Bing also opened a stone yard in Shangqinglin.

The stone yard is called Xiaowan Stone yard. The specific operation was handled by Zhu Bing's father Zhu Fugui, but the initial opening expenses were all funded by Hou Weidong. Later, the stone yard was run smoothly, and Zhu Bing insisted on giving Hou Weidong 20,000, which was considered to be the settlement.

When it comes to operating the stone yard, from Hou Weidong's perspective, everything in Shangqinglin was carried out in the name of his mother Liu Guangfen. The specific operation was made by He Hongfu and others, and it had little to do with him. From Zeng Zhaoqiang's perspective, his wife Wang Ying was a laid-off worker, and the reemployment of laid-off workers was advocated by the state and had little to do with him.

Therefore, both of them are parties, and neither are parties. A few years have passed. The young man Hou Weidong of that year magically became the secretary of the Chengjin County Party Committee, and the director of the Transportation Bureau Zeng Zhaoqiang became the governor of Chengjin County. The two of them avoided the topic of going to Qinglin Stone Field.

After July 1st, the Lingxi Provincial Government Inspection and Study Group went to the United States, led by Vice Governor Qin Lu, and Ding Yuan, Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, was responsible for the actual work of the delegation. Zhu Yan, Secretary of the Maoyun Municipal Party Committee, Zhao Yishan, Mayor of Tiezhou City, Liu Bing, Mayor of Shazhou City, and Liu Bing, Mayor of Provincial Department, and County Party Committee Secretary, and County Magistrate. The entire delegation has 15 people, most of which are princes. Hou Weidong, Secretary of the County Party Committee, is the youngest in the entire delegation, but his position is not the lowest. The regiment has four county magistrates and three directors of the provincial government. Director Ji Cheng is also a former acquaintance of Hou Weidong.

Ji Cheng, director of the Information Center of the General Office of the Provincial Government, met Hou Weidong in 1995. This time he was in the provincial government meeting. He obviously did not recognize Hou Weidong. Hou Weidong was also happy to pretend to be confused and pretended to be the first time he met.

Before getting on the plane, Zhu Yan pulled Hou Weidong aside and said, "Let's go to Boston first, Li Jing brings Zhu Mei and then come." After a few months of separation, Zhu Yan couldn't say how happy he could see his daughter.

"Xiaomei has finished her third surgery and it is said that her hearing has recovered well."

Zhu Yan was a little regretful: "She missed the best time to learn language. Now she has to make up for the lessons, and we have to talk about it this time."

"I heard that the recovery level here is very high, and I can stay in the United States for a while to recover."

Zhu Yan joked: "Mimei has come back from learning English, but I still can't talk to her."

Hou Weidong did not get any news about this trip to the United States in advance. Later, he learned that Ding Yuan, deputy director of the Organization Department, was responsible for the specific work, and Ding Yuan had the final say in the report of the list. He understood a little in his heart when he learned that Zhu Yan was also going to the United States.

After Li Jing went to the United States, she returned to China several times during this period.

She is the chairman, general manager and Wu Xingbin of the founding period. Wu Xingbin is an old man from Shadaosi and is very familiar with his business. Now that Seiko Group has been on the track, Li Jing only cares about major matters. Wu Xingbin handles the affairs of the matter.

Hou Weidong was thinking about Li Jing, and Li Jing called: "Meimei and I arrived in Boston and lived on the banks of the Charles River. We invite you and Secretary Zhu to eat Boston food in the evening."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "I have the appetite of Shazhou. No matter what kind of meals, it is not as comfortable as a bowl of green forest tofu."

Li Jing smiled and said, "You are really a local bun. I asked in advance. The New England clam meat chowder, fish cakes and boiled lobsters in Boston are all very good. Don't eat Chinese food when you arrive in the United States. Follow the local customs, otherwise it will be a waste of time." She said, "The Joker Chou has learned some English and thought about the scene when we learned English in the past. It is completely useless. I am not as good as the Joker Chou said."

I got on the plane from Lingxi Airport, transferred to Shanghai, flew to Los Angeles, and flew from Los Angeles to Boston. After a long flight, I arrived in Boston. The delegation from Lingxi was exhausted, and Hou Weidong was the youngest member. After getting off the bus, he was only full of energy.

He moved into the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Vice Governor Qin Lu summoned the members of the league in the conference room and announced the discipline again. The first discipline is to obey all actions and take leave when going out. There must be more than two people walking together. Hou Weidong thought that Li Jing was waiting for him by the Charles River, his heart was like a cat being caught. However, it was against common sense to ask for leave when he first arrived at the government college. He and Zhu Yan smiled bitterly, and both abide by the discipline in the league.

Li Jing was very disappointed when she heard the news and said, "Lingxi is still not open enough. If you walk outside frequently and broaden your horizons, you will not make the members of the group like an ostrich."

Hou Weidong defended: "We are not ordinary citizens, but represent the image of the Lingxi government. How can we do it without discipline? By the way, we also have Director Ji Cheng of the Information Center. I remember you hate this person very much."

"Ji Cheng, I haven't dated him for several years. After so many years, he is still living in the information center and has no future for development." Li Jing used to be the deputy general manager of the Shadao Department. She attaches great importance to all officials of the provincial government. At this time, she has mastered the Seiko Group and has broadened her horizons. It is no problem for officials of Ji Cheng to be of level.

The Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University attached great importance to the training and learning of the Lingxi delegation, and Professor Seg was responsible for the reception work.

When Professor Sage was the chief representative of the Fox Foundation in China in the 1990s, he had the idea of ​​arranging exchanges and training for Chinese and American officials. In 1999, Professor Sage, who came to the Government Academy to teach, began to plan this project. At this time, an official from the Development Research Center of the State Council had studied in the Government Academy. By chance, he met with Lingxi Provincial Party Secretary Meng Hao in Beijing and invited Lingxi officials to the Kennedy Government Academy for short-term training and exchanges. If the results are good, cooperation will continue.

Professor Seg is a China Communications Corporation. He understands Lingxi cadres very well. The next day, he arranged a bus and took fifteen Lingxi cadres to Boston City for a whole day.

When the car arrived in Chinatown, the cadres in Lingxi took a breath.

The four big words "The world is for the public." All the leading cadres here have a considerable level of leading cadres who have studied the Party School courses and know that this is what Sun Yat-sen said.

The street was hung with palm-sized blue sky and white sun flags and American star-striped flags, which made Hou Weidong stand up on his back. In his impression, this flag represents an old era, full of blood and chaos. A car of people's eyes were searching. Finally, he saw a huge five-star red flag on the roof. He came to the flagpole of the Boston Municipal Government Building and saw three flags: the American flag, the Massachusetts state flag and the People's Republic of China flag. All the cadres in Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and showed a proud smile on their faces.

The accompanying translator was very familiar with this expression and said: "Many Chinese in the United States came to the United States before liberation. They also regarded the Republic of China as their motherland in the past, so many Chinese associations chose the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag without political inclination. Just like overseas Chinese still writing traditional Chinese characters, it was just a habit. In recent years, many associations changed from the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag to hang the five-star red flag. In the past, Chinatown made great contributions on October 10 and no one was interested in it on October 1. Now this situation has changed, which reflects the change in our country's status."

Hou Weidong said intimately: "Mr. Deng said it well, development is the hard truth. This is the case with the country and the region. Chengjin must accelerate its development in order to be responsible for history." Thinking of this issue, he began to worry about the negotiations of Shengbao Group again.
