In the early 1980s, the country introduced four sets of 300,000 tons of ethylene equipment from abroad. Due to the serious backwardness in the production technology of ethylene equipment in China, these four sets of devices were introduced in a comprehensive manner, and the part of domestic manufacturers involved in manufacturing was pitifully small.

In order to get rid of the dilemma of ethylene equipment being completely reliant on imports, the country has included large-scale ethylene equipment in the ranks of large-scale equipment for key research and development, becoming one of the 11 major equipment coordinated by the Redevelopment Office. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Lecheng ethylene construction, the Redevelopment Office organized a technical team led by several experts from the Chemical Design Institute to participate in the construction of the ethylene project in order to observe, learn advanced foreign technologies, and accumulate experience for independent research and development of ethylene equipment.

There is no problem with this arrangement itself. The Petroleum Corporation, which is responsible for the construction of the ethylene project, also agreed and said a lot of enthusiastic words. However, when it comes to the issue of how the technical team participates in the construction, some problems arise. The project command center claims that all work must be centered on the early start of the ethylene project, and other work can only be carried out on the basis of ensuring this core.

Of course, this principle is correct. The key is that it changes its flavor when it is implemented. When the experts from the Chemical Design Institute arrived at the scene, many of the requirements put forward were rejected by the project command center. The reason was that everyone was very busy and had no time to "play" with the experts. Some of them did not care about taking care of the experts because they were too busy, while others were thinking that it was better to have less than more things. Anyway, their task was to build Lecheng ethylene. Whether the country should do localization of ethylene has nothing to do with them. Why should they provide convenience to the experts of the Chemical Design Institute?

This situation quickly reflected the Redevelopment Office. The Redevelopment Office negotiated with the project command through the Economic Commission's relationship, but it did not have much effect. The crux of the problem is that Nie Jianping and other project leaders are not interested in this, and the staff below do not take the Chemical Design Institute seriously. This time, Feng Xiaochen was ordered to go to Lecheng to deal with the relocation of Xujiawan. Wu Shican specially found him and asked him to find a way to persuade the project command to accept the expert team. This is what Feng Xiaochen talked with Lai Yongjia now.

When Feng Xiaochen mentioned this, Lai Yongjia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Director Xiao Feng, you are so smart. One thing can make you send so many Chinese government offices. I guess, is it that the Economic Commission has agreed to the construction of the TV factory in Lecheng? You deliberately ambushed me just to let us provide support to you in the equipment domesticization project?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Mr. Lai, I can tell you clearly that the Economic Commission's attitude towards this matter has not been loosened. If Mr. Lai doesn't believe it, he can find other comrades from the Economic Commission to understand the situation. I think that other people who can convey the news of my level may not know, right? However, I am indeed somewhat sure that the leaders of the Economic Commission will change their original intentions. This is helping the ethylene project. You won't treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, right?"

"Since you are kind, why do you have to attach conditions?" Lai Yongjia asked.

Feng Xiaochen sank his face and said, "Mr. Lai, you are also an old man on the industrial front. Do you think it is an additional condition to use the opportunity of Lecheng ethylene project to cultivate our own equipment manufacturing capabilities? In fact, even if it is not in exchange, Lecheng ethylene project department should actively cooperate with this work. At present, this work is being carried out extremely unsuccessful. Many of your departments are not cooperating, forcing us to make this decision. This is not our fault, but your fault."

Lai Yongjia was choked by Feng Xiaochen, silent for a moment, nodded and said, "You are right, we did not do this well. To be honest, we have indeed made parochial mistakes, and we only want to do our own things well, without considering the long-term development of the country. I am here to review you and the Economic Commission."

Feng Xiaochen waved his hand quickly and said, "Mr. Lai's words are so serious. I dare not accept your review. I think this problem is probably not because of your original intention, but because some other leaders do not pay enough attention to it. I am very gentle and cannot convince them, so I can only use this matter as a condition for exchange. I hope that the Lecheng ethylene project department can make a promise for us to reinstall. If we can help Lecheng solve the problem of the TV factory, the ethylene project department will fully cooperate with the domestic production. What do you think?"

Lai Yongjia nodded and said, "It's good that this is good. At least I have a reason to convince other leaders. Through this matter, I'm afraid that our project leaders will also realize the importance of a national chess game and are willing to consider the needs of the country more. However, Xiao Feng, are you sure you are confident that you can convince the Economic Commission to change its original intention and approve the construction project of the TV factory to Lecheng?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "I can only say that I have some confidence, but I still need to try it out to know."

"Okay, no matter whether things can be accomplished or not, I will try my best to convince other leaders to you based on what you have done right now." Lai Yongjia said.

"Then thank you for coming to the general." Feng Xiaochen said gratefully.

"Thank you, this is what we should do." Lai Yongjia said. He looked at Feng Xiaochen and sighed: "Xiao Feng, if you are not a cadre from the reinstallation office, I really want to establish our project department to bring you over. We now need young cadres like you who are capable, aggressive and have a broad mind."

The day after the Xujiawan conflict, the Lecheng Municipal Committee and Municipal Government organized an investigation team, led by Shang Renye to Xujiawan Village to investigate the details of the incident, and negotiated with the State Economic Commission working group, the ethylene project command and other departments to solicit their attitude towards solving the problem.

Feng Xiaochen and Lai Yongjia reached a unified statement. They did not submit Xu Bolin's confession publicly at the coordination meeting, but instead gave the copy to Shang Renye privately for him to take a look. Shang Renye and Jia Yifei expressed great indignation at the confession, claiming that this was Xu Bolin's one-sided statement, which was absurd and should not be accepted. Lai Yongjia also supported Shang and Jia's views, saying that this statement that could not stand scrutiny was not enough as evidence, and it was recommended that the Economic Commission Working Group not believe it easily.

In a warm and friendly atmosphere, the two sides reviewed the fighting friendship formed by Lecheng and the ethylene project department in the past few years. Shang Renye expressed that he would complete the relocation of Xujiawan Village as soon as possible and adopt a zero-tolerance attitude towards all acts that obstruct the relocation. On behalf of the project department, Lai Yongjia expressed his sincere gratitude to Lecheng for its cooperation. Feng Xiaochen was humming beside him, not commenting, and he looked harmless, and obviously put himself in the role of referee or witness.

Shang Renye made a special trip to the hospital to visit Huang Ming, a cadre of the Economic Commission who was injured in the conflict, and told Lecheng Central Hospital to do its best to treat it. The doctors in the central hospital nodded, but were cursing in their hearts that Huang Ming's health was as good as a pig waiting to be slaughtered, but he was injured.

Wang Shicheng also rushed over from Jin Qin, the provincial capital, to deal with the conflict. In front of the leaders of Lecheng, he severely criticized Feng Xiaochen on behalf of the Economic Commission, and instructed Feng Xiaochen to deeply reflect on the lessons of this time, and to unite with grassroots comrades, and not to act subjectively and recklessly. The leaders of Lecheng made profound self-criticism to Wang Shicheng, saying that the entire responsibility for this conflict lies with Lecheng, which is because Lecheng did not do its job well, and a black sheep like Xu Bolin...

In short, things are developing in a positive direction, and the relocation of Xujiawan is no longer an obstacle. Lecheng only asks the Economic Commission’s working group not to focus on this matter and will be fine. There is no need to make other requirements. The working group and the project department also know the degree and say that this conflict is just a conflict among the people and there is no need to exaggerate it. As long as Xujiawan can relocate as scheduled, the matter can be written off.

As for the few people arrested by the security department in this conflict, Xu Abao and several other gangsters were sent to labor reform directly. They were not serious farmers and had done a lot of stealing things. It was not too much for a few years of labor reform. Bao's mother and Uncle Chang Gen, who was in his 80s, were naturally released by education. Shang Renye and Jia Yifei came forward to protect Xu Bolin and exempt him from labor reform. However, Xu Bolin's village chief must be unable to continue.

The impact of this incident was very far-reaching. In the following years, the Lecheng ethylene project became a forbidden land in the minds of the locals, and no one dared to take advantage of the ethylene project. It is said that the background of the ethylene project is very strong. No matter whether you are a gangster or an old man or an old lady, as long as you provoke the ethylene project, people will dare to arrest people directly, and even dare to shoot when they are angry. Tang Monk’s meat is delicious, but Sun Xingzhe next to him is not easy to provoke. This is a consensus formed by Lecheng from officials to the people.

He wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail, but was broken and had to help the other party calm down. The Lecheng Government was in a state of irritation, which was naturally difficult to resolve. Just as Shang Renye was thinking about where to make some trouble for the ethylene project in the future to relieve his hatred, an unexpected proposal was put in front of him.

"What, are you willing to come forward to help us apply for approval from the TV factory?"

Looking at Lai Yongjia and Feng Xiaochen sitting in his office, Shang Renye's first thought was whether the other party was coming to humiliate him, and deliberately used this thing with little hope to make him feel uncomfortable. But years of political experience told him that this was completely impossible, and the other party was also well-known, not a gangster... Well, at least Lai Yongjia was not. The man named Feng was not only a gangster, but also a cultured gangster.
