After Zeng Zhaoqiang left, Hou Weidong was silent for a long time in the office. He knew that if the intentional agreement of Shengbao Group was mentioned to the county party committee standing committee and handled according to the rules of procedure, he and Zeng Zhaoqiang would definitely have cracks, and the cracks would be difficult to sew.

This is obviously because Hou Weidong is unwilling to see the situation, but the matter of principle cannot be betrayed. Hou Weidong firmly believes that he is correct.

When Hou Weidong first started working, he struggled to strive for a good living environment. When he became the county party secretary, as the rights and responsibilities increased, a sense of responsibility and mission arose in his heart. This is a gradual process, and it is also a process of quantitative change causing quality.

"Do you report this to Zhu Minsheng in advance?"

This question made Hou Weidong think a lot. Based on his understanding of Zhu Minsheng, he knew that Zhu Minsheng valued more political achievements to catch up with Tiezhou City in the short term. Instead of doing this, it would be better to pretend to be confused and take action first and then report.

As for the idea of ​​reporting to Mayor Liu Bing, it only flashed through Hou Weidong's mind.

After the Organization Minister Guo Lan came out of Hou Weidong's office, she was inexplicably upset. She put the Shengbao Group agreement on the table and read it word by word. She was not familiar with administrative work, but since she graduated from university, she has been in the organization department and has seen too much about the ups and downs in the officialdom. She naturally understood the risks that Hou Weidong would face when he rejected this intention agreement.

Office director Huang Fan knocked in and said, "Minister Guo, Minister Liang of Shuanghe Town called. I would like to invite you to Shuanghe Town to take a look at the newly built party member library at noon."

Guo Lan was in the mood at all. She said, "Forget it, I have something to do today, I will go to Shuanghe another day. Say sorry to Secretary Liang."

After sitting in the office for a while, Guo Lan picked up the phone number on hand.

"I am Guo Lan, I have a few words to say, is it convenient?"

"convenient."

"Can you reconsider the decision on the intentional agreement of Shengbao Group?"

"This is just my personal decision and has not been discussed by the county party committee standing committee."

When Guo Lan heard Hou Weidong's seemingly relaxed tone, she suddenly felt a little rushing up and said, "Hou Weidong - Secretary. It is not easy for you to go from Shangqinglin to this point. Secretary Zhu Minsheng has great expectations for Shengbao Group. If you let Shengbao Group leave Shazhou because you negate the intention agreement, have you considered this consequence? You lost the support of the municipal party secretary. What does it mean to the county party secretary?"

"Guo Lan, what I deny is an intentional agreement, rather than severing cooperation with Shengbao Group. There is a clear difference between these two points."

Guo Lan asked back: "Is there any difference?"

"It depends on Shengbao Group, not on me."

After putting down the phone, Hou Weidong thought of Guo Lan's tone like a cockfight and couldn't help feeling a warmth.

On the second Wednesday, the county party committee standing committee was held as scheduled, and the last topic was about the intentional agreement of Shengbao Group.

Zhou Fuquan, member of the county party committee and executive vice county magistrate, introduced it into three parts. First, he introduced the basic situation of Shengbao Group to the Standing Committee, second, he talked in detail about the multiple tug-of-war negotiations with Shengbao Group, and third, he summarized the situation of the intention agreement.

He always completed his work in just a few words. Today, he was abnormal and talked for nearly forty minutes. All the members of the Standing Committee were very patient, and Zhou Fuquan had a slightly sharp voice in the conference room.

The sound was like a sparrow, fluttering in the conference room.

After he finished reporting, Hou Weidong said calmly: "Please speak for everyone."

The conference room suddenly became silent. After waiting for a while, Deputy Secretary Gao Xiaonan broke the silence. He said: "The per capita land of 1,200 acres of land in our county is only one acre and two. According to the average, at least one thousand people will lose their land. How will they live in the future? This is not only a problem of economic development, but also a social problem that needs to be considered in a unified manner."

He added: "The production land of Shengbao Group can only be considered from the Pingba area along the river, which involves more population, higher costs and more intense contradictions."

Another deputy secretary Mo Weimin said, "If you want to develop, you cannot be afraid of difficulties. Is it very difficult to rectify phosphate mines? It's very big. We have also done this. After Shengbao Group comes, it will not talk about taxes, but the employed population can be digested by the unemployed population."

According to the practice of the Standing Committee, the speeches are usually spoken by the Standing Committee members first, then the deputy secretary, and finally the county magistrate and the county party secretary. At this time, the two deputy secretaries made their opinions first, and the Standing Committee members were speechless for a moment.

Seeing some dismay, Guo Lan said: "The intentional agreement is just an intention, not a formal contract. We need to discuss further on land issues and raw material prices."

...

After most of the Standing Committee members spoke vaguely, the county magistrate Zeng Zhaoqiang took his eyes back, and his eyebrows raised his eyebrows and said, "I talk about two views. One is how to get rid of the mountain consciousness. There are different degrees of mountain consciousness in Lingxi, Shazhou, and Chengjin. The mountain consciousness can easily make cadres arrogant, keep on moving forward, and be self-confidence. In cooperation with Shengbao Group, we must not only see difficulties, but also see development prospects. I think difficulties can be overcome. Whether a project is good or not depends on the development prospects."

"The second is how to form pioneering consciousness, which is actually the other side of the previous question..."

When Zeng Zhaoqiang made his opinion, Hou Weidong said: "I will first talk about the purpose of attracting investment, increasing taxes and economic output, improving the level of science and technology and industrial level, etc., but these are benefits, not the ultimate goal, and the ultimate goal is to improve people's living standards. Secondly, I want to say the view that seeking truth from facts is actually the essence of *thoughts."

After talking about the big truth, he made it clear that "the negotiating team has done a lot of work and achieved the preliminary results of the intention agreement, which are worthy of recognition."

"However, Shengbao Group's requirements are too harsh and there are too many unreliable factors. Overall, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. I suggest that on the basis of the intentional agreement, continue to negotiate with Shengbao Group, and try to achieve win-win results for enterprises, governments and villagers."

Zeng Zhaoqiang's face was as deep as water, saying: "Shengbao Group has always been very tough. This agreement was under the personal guidance of Deputy Mayor Gao Rong and Director Jiang Jin. After careful consideration, we bargained with Shengbao Group. Overturning this agreement means that the negotiations with Shengbao Group failed."

Hou Weidong avoided Deputy Mayor Gao Rong and continued: "Shengbao Group has funds, we have resources, both parties are equal, Shengbao Group cannot impose its wishes on the other party. If Chengjin County accepts such harsh conditions, it will inevitably lead to serious consequences. If they are unwilling to give in, we can only attract additional investment. Phosphorus ore is a non-renewable resource. This is the real priceless treasure. The county party committee and county government must have a clear understanding."

The views of Hou Weidong and Zeng Zhaoqiang are basically the same as when they communicated last time.

Since Hou Weidong presided over the work of the county party committee, everyone has not seen such a tit-for-tat debate. Everyone listened to the two main leaders confronting each other with different expressions, and no one spoke again.

There will never be a winner in the debate. According to the rules of procedure of the Standing Committee meeting, the county party secretary generally has to make a final speech on each topic, discuss opinions scientifically and focus on the discussion, put forward decision-making plans and opinions, and submit them to the meeting for voting.

Based on this clause, Hou Weidong stopped the argument and said: "The intentional agreement of Shengbao Group is related to the overall situation. The comrades have put forward good opinions. I will talk about my opinions again, and then vote on whether to amend the intentional agreement through secret ballot."

Zeng Zhaoqiang knew the voting results with an ice-like face and said to himself: "Hou Weidong is young and energetic, even more tough than Zhu Yan back then. Zhu Yan is still polite to Ma Youcai, but Hou Weidong didn't know how to give in and would not save face for the dignified county magistrate."

After receiving the minutes of the county party committee standing committee meeting, Zeng Zhaoqiang found Fan Decai, vice chairman of the board of directors of Shengbao Group, and said: "The county party committee standing committee has denied the intentional agreement, and we still have to conduct a second round of consultation on cooperation matters."

Fan Decai was surprised and said, "What we have negotiated is changeable no matter how we say it."

"This is just an intentional agreement, not a formal contract, and there are many undecided matters in it. It is normal to start the second round of consultations."

“Our request has been passed by the Board and cannot be changed.”

Zeng Zhaoqiang said coldly: "Mr. Fan will report to the board of directors again. You must invest in the most controversial land issue. The specific amount can be negotiated, but there is no free lunch in the world. Even Shengbao Group has to follow our rules of the game, and there is no special one."

Since Fan Decai entered the mainland, he has always faced a pleasing smile. Zeng Zhaoqiang's attitude made him furious. When he wanted to get angry, Zeng Zhaoqiang sneered several times and left with his sleeves.

The next day, all the negotiation teams of Shengbao Group left Chengjin.

On the third day, Maodong Daily published news, and Shengbao Group and Maodong City launched substantive negotiations.

Under Huang Ziti's arrangement, Zeng Zhaoqiang made a separate report to Zhu Minsheng on the issue of Shengbao Group at the end of August. Zhu Minsheng learned that the negotiations were going well and felt much more at ease. When he saw Maodong News, he called Zeng Zhaoqiang directly, "What's going on with Shengbao Group?"

Zeng Zhaoqiang was prepared and said: "Secretary Hou of the County Party Committee denied the intentional agreement, and Shengbao Group was unwilling to discuss it again."

"Doing things randomly." Zhu Minsheng said angrily: "Why don't you report, and you still talk about politics or principles?"

Faced with Zhu Minsheng's anger, Zeng Zhaoqiang was secretly happy.

After scolding Zeng Zhaoqiang, Zhu Minsheng asked his secretary Zhao Chengyi to find the meeting minutes of the Chengjin County Party Committee Standing Committee. After reading the minutes, he said with great pain, "It's not enough to succeed, but it's better to make up your mind as soon as possible."

Secretary-General Yang Senlin happened to come to report the matter, and Zhu Minsheng said: "Forest, have you read the minutes?"

Yang Senlin said: "I only saw this minutes in the morning."

"This is an investment of more than one billion yuan. How can you act voluntarily? The Secretary-General comes forward to talk to Fan Decai and try his best to save it."
