The course ended, and it was already early September 1996. The weather was getting colder. The delegation from Lingxi went to New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and Niagara. It was said that the natural scenery in the western United States was stronger than that in the eastern part, but the important cultural landscapes in the United States were basically in the eastern part. To understand and understand the past and present of the United States, you can get a look at these big cities in the east.

Along the way, I went to Manhattan to see Chinatown and the Statue of Liberty, to Philadelphia to see the "Independence Hall that was born in the United States, to Washington to see the Capitol and the White House, and to see the strength and prosperity of the United States, Hou Weidong also breathed a sigh of relief, his thoughts always thought about the construction of Chengjin County.

When he returned to Lingxi, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department held a symposium and talked to the members of the congress about their feelings. Only then did Hou Weidong realize that everyone's minds were almost the same.

Gao Yiyun, Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, listened to the students' speeches: "After listening to the speeches of the comrades, I feel that everyone has gained a lot. In my opinion, there are three gains. One is that it broadens its horizons. Lingxi is an inland province and has been closed for decades. We should also let comrades go out of the lingxi to see the world, and go out of the lingxi to see the west of the lingxi to see the west of the lingxi to see the west of the lingxi to see the west of the lingxi..."

"Secondly, I have learned knowledge. Harvard Kennedy School of Government has trained many members of Congress for the United States. Their teaching level is recognized worldwide. You can study and discuss with the best management experts in the world's most developed countries, which will greatly promote the actual work in the future."

"Third, everyone has arrived at the most powerful capitalist country, seen their shortcomings, and inspired their enthusiasm for building the motherland. I said. This is the biggest gain of studying abroad. We must look far and show the spirit of comparing with the world's first-class... Most of the people who studied this time were from a member of the country. They have hundreds of thousands to millions of people in charge, and they have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders and must not slacken at all."

After the symposium, the provincial party committee guesthouse organized a light meal and then returned home.

The Chengjin County Party Committee and County Government learned about the return of Chengcheng, Deputy Secretary Gao Xiaonan, Commission Office Director Gu Yunfeng, Public Security Bureau Director Luo Jinhao, Procurator General Yang Yong, and Heads of the Construction Committee, Finance and other departments all came to Lingxi. When Hou Weidong finished his light meal from the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, Gu Yunfeng and Secretary Du Bing were already waiting at the door.

"Secretary Gao, Director Jin Hao and others are waiting for you at the Venus Star Hotel."

Hou Weidong said, "Hey, there is no need to come to the west of Lingxi, I feel sorry for it."

Gu Yunfeng smiled and said, "This is the spontaneous intention of the comrades."

When he arrived at the Venus Hotel, everyone applauded. Hou Weidong shook hands with his comrades one by one. At this time, what he was thinking about was not who came, but who was thinking about who did not come. He immediately drove away this idea and thought to himself: "It is normal not to come, it is normal to come."

After the wine was three times, Gao Xiaonan, deputy secretary of the county party committee, said: "Everyone raise a glass together, don't toast Secretary Hou if you drink. He is better than a newlywed marriage after a long time."

Everyone stood up, held up their cups, and drank together.

Seven or eight small cars lined up in a convoy. They got on the Lingsha Expressway in a mighty way. Today, four convoys passed by the toll station, making the comrades at the toll station stupid. I wonder what happened today.

Back at the Crescent Tower in Shazhou, Hou Weidong shook hands with his comrades in turn to say goodbye. Gu Yunfeng and Du Bing delivered the bag to the door. Since Xiao Jian was sleeping in front of the bed, Xiao Jia stood in front of the bed and waited.

When he arrived at the door, when Gu Yunfeng and Du Bing put the bag in, Hou Weidong said, "I'm going to the municipal party committee in the morning, and Du Bing will pick me up in the afternoon." Gu Yunfeng smiled and said, "Then I'll leave and don't disturb Secretary Hou's rest." He greeted Xiaojia and left the Crescent Tower.

"You have been driving foreign meat this time and have been in the United States for a month. When will you take me and Xiao Jian to play abroad?" Xiao Jia hugged Hou Weidong and kissed him, and was about to help him pack his luggage.

"I used to think that foreign countries were very mysterious. After walking around, the mystery disappeared. They did have many places worth learning from, and there were also problems of this and that. Hello, Xiaojia, don't clean up, have Xiaojia slept?"

Xiaojia held Hou Weidong's arm, and the two stood side by side in front of the bed. Xiao Jian was sleeping soundly. Hou Weidong said to himself: "Little boy and the Clown Chou are still seven-point similar. When the two grow up, I wonder if they will meet." He thought to himself: "If Li Jing is pregnant again this time, then I will have three children."

Thinking of this, Hou Weidong regretted Meng Lang in the 1990s in his heart, but there is no regret medicine in the world, and he doesn't want to take regret medicine for this matter. Li Jing and Chou Chou have become indispensable people in his life.

He felt guilty about Xiaojia, and even Li Jing, sometimes thinking: "Fortunately, he had only had a few nights of love with Duan Ying. If the two continued to develop, they would have a split personality."

After watching Xiao Jian, she took a shower with Xiao Jia separately. The two of them went to bed and kissed Xiao Jia's soft body, and slowly became emotional.

The next day, Hou Weidong drove Xiaojia to the Park Management Bureau in a Bluebird car, then drove from Dongcheng District to Xicheng District, and then to the Southern New District. He carefully moved to Shazhou. He arrived at the municipal party committee at 9:30. He first found Zhu Minsheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, and reported his learning achievements in the United States.

After returning from the United States, he came to the municipal party committee to report on his work. This is a manifestation of political awareness. Zhu Minsheng was very satisfied and said encouragement, saying: "The key to going out for a walk is to apply what you have learned. After returning, you must hurry up on the Shengbao Group."

Hou Weidong went downstairs and called Hong Ang, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Hong Ang smiled and said, "Don't think about leaving when you come, go and eat big people." Big people refer to Ji Haiyang, the director of the Finance Bureau. After renovating the Finance Hotel, it has become a stronghold for Hong Ang and others to do activities.

At noon, when he arrived at Hong Ang, Hou Weidong gave him a small gift, a bag of Boston-produced maple syrup.

Every spring, the snow on the northern part of New England has not yet melted, and the maple sap has already surged up. People lit containers for cooking sugar to make sweet, amber maple syrup. Most sugar factories welcome tourists to visit. During the non-sugar production period, tourists can enjoy the whole process of sugar making in a special museum. This is the New England Maple Museum.

Hou Weidong prepared this maple syrup for Zhu Minsheng, Liu Houren, Hong Ang, Su Mingjun, Ji Haiyang, Zeng Zhaoqiang and others. The gift brought back from the ocean was light and heavy.

After the greetings, Hou Weidong talked about his thoughts: "Cai Zhenggui has been the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee for many years. He has made contributions and worked hard. However, he has been in the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee for too long. He is a little older. Can he change his position? The new Public Security Bureau Director Luo Jinhao is very strong and can consider promoting and using it."

Hong Ang went from the standing committee member of the municipal party committee and secretary-general to the full-time secretary of the political and legal commission. In order to improve his weight, he was determined to move the cadres on the political and legal line of each county. When he heard Hou Weidong's proposal, he nodded and said: "The province has made it clear that the county party secretary, county magistrate, organization minister and public security director should be rotated regularly. Now the leaders of the political and legal system of the four counties should also move. Weidong's suggestions are very good, and I will consider them seriously."

After talking about the main business, Ji Haiyang rushed back from Lingxi. The three of them chewed slowly and had a good meal.

After lunch, he returned to Chengjin County. Chengjin County was Hou Weidong's base. After leaving for a month, he was still a little worried.

"Yunfeng, has the negotiations between the county and Shengbao Group made progress during this period?" During the period when Hou Weidong arrived in the United States, Zhou Fuquan had not reported to him the negotiations between Shengbao Group.

"Half the negotiations are in Chengjin County, and the other half are in Shazhou. Mayor Gao and Jiang Jin, director of the Municipal Planning Commission, Zeng Zhaoqiang, and Deputy County Magistrate Zhou Fuquan have been participating in the negotiations and have not seen anything formal yet." As the director of the office, Gu Yunfeng insists on reporting the situation in Chengjin County to Hou Weidong every day. He has not participated in the negotiations with Shengbao Group and does not know much about the details of the negotiations.

"Please Comrade Fuquan to the office."

Gu Yunfeng immediately called Zhou Fuquan. Zhou Fuquan answered the phone and said, "I am still in the Shazhou Municipal Government and are talking to Shengbao Group. It's very difficult. I heard that Secretary Hou is back, so it's good to come back. I have something to report to him."

Zhou Fuquan quickly called Hou Weidong's office and said, "Secretary Hou, I haven't disturbed you this month. We have talked with Shengbao Group five times. Today, Mayor Gao, Director Jiang and County Mayor Zeng have arrived. According to Mayor Gao's requirements, we need to sign an intentional agreement today to keep Shengbao Group."

Hou Weidong asked: "Thank you for your hard work, negotiations are the most energy-consuming thing. Shengbaoji Kingdom's previous conditions were very harsh. Have there been any changes in the intentional agreement?"

Zhou Fuquan was silent for a while and said, "It's basically the same thing, just a little adjustment."

"In what specific aspects have there been adjustments?"

"In the past, they required all taxes to be returned in the first three years. This time they proposed to return them in the first year, half of them in the second year, one-third of them in the third year, and normal tax payments in the fourth year."

"This is irrelevant, the key is how to deal with the land?"

"They proposed to ask for one thousand acres, but the land required to be used for free, and they have been insisting on this one."

Hou Weidong pointed out in a serious tone, saying: "Chengjin has limited financial resources and cannot repay the land acquisition funds at all. This matter involves a wide range of areas. Be careful. You must accept the reasonable conditions of Shengbao Group and consider the discounts, but we cannot accept unreasonable requirements."

After putting down the phone, Zhou Fuquan smiled bitterly. As the executive deputy county magistrate, he was sandwiched between Hou Weidong and Zeng Zhaoqiang. The current county magistrate Zeng Zhaoqiang and former county magistrate Jiang Xiangyu had too many differences in personality. Jiang Xiangyu was basically in sync with Hou Weidong, while Zeng Zhaoqiang was very individual and received the support of Deputy Mayor Gao Rong. Therefore, during the negotiations this month, he wanted to call Hou Weidong many times, but he kept calling.

The next day, Hou Weidong got the intentional agreement between Chengjin County Government and Shengbao Group. After reading it, although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but pat the table and said angrily: "This kind of agreement still requires negotiation. This is Shengbao Group making money, Chengjin County is here to be the sucker."
