The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Okay, Secretary Li, I'll report to Secretary Miao right away."

"Wujiang, did Secretary Li say that much? Did he say where to go, who to go, and how many days to arrange the trip?" Miao Chengyi asked very detailed questions. No matter how his relationship with Li Weiguo was, he was still serious about his work.

"Secretary General, Secretary Li said that you are the one who makes the decision on these matters."

"Wujiang, we can't make the decision on everything. There are some things we need to consider clearly the leader's ideas. For example, Secretary Li said to go to remote and backward places, so do we have to go to the most remote places? This requires us to make proper arrangements based on the actual situation. Well, you go ahead and do your work first. I'll plan the trip first, and then communicate with Secretary Li."

Li Wujiang hasn't received a call from Zhao Qianlong for a long time. Since leaving Beijing, everyone has contacted less.

"Brother Jiang, you are now the secretary of a big leader, congratulations."

"You kid, I haven't scolded you for a few days, you are itching. What's the matter with calling?"

"Brother Jiang, I miss you, so I came to Jining to send you warmth."

"You kid came to Jining? When did you arrive? Well, you also know that I don't have the time to decide now. I need to wait until Secretary Li is done with his work before I come to see you. You should settle down and have a good rest in the hotel first." Li Wujiang was also very happy that Zhao Qianlong could come to Jining, but now he had no control over his time. When Li Weiguo worked, he had to work, and when Li Weiguo got off work, he could get off work.

When Li Wujiang was in a trance, Mao Yumin came over. Li Wujiang quickly stood up and greeted Mao Yumin. Although Li Wujiang had met Mao Yumin after coming to Jining for such a long time, he had hardly greeted him.

Mao Yumin was not from Jining, but he had worked in Jining for more than ten years. He was quite polite. "Governor Mao, hello, Secretary Li is in the office, please sit down first, I'll ask Secretary Li for instructions."

"Wujiang, don't worry, let's talk first. I've heard that Wujiang is a good young man. He has made outstanding achievements in attracting investment in Huayuan Province, promoted enterprise reform, made breakthrough progress, and was listed as a model by the state. It is a blessing for the people of Jining that you can come to Jining. I have been looking for an opportunity for us to sit together. You see, I have been busy recently and have no time. When you are free in the future, you can come to my place and taste my good tea."

Li Wujiang was terrified by Mao Yumin's casual words. He was Li Weiguo's secretary. If he went to Mao Yumin's office to drink tea and chat, his political career would be over if it got out. "Thank you for your concern, Governor Mao. He is very busy and is a role model for young people. I will definitely learn from him and ask for advice in the future."

"I looked at Comrade Wujiang carefully today. He is really young and promising. When I was your age, I was still farming and herding cattle in the village. Young people nowadays are really amazing."

"Governor Mao is kidding. How can I compare with you? Your generation is the backbone of the country and is now leading our country to great prosperity and rejuvenation. The people of Jining are still looking forward to Governor Mao leading everyone to a well-off life and a prosperous life."

Mao Yumin heard a few new words from Li Wujiang and couldn't help but look at Li Wujiang again. "Wujiang, your words really make people feel good. I have been in Jining for a while. How do you feel?"

"Governor Mao, the cadres and staff of Jining are very enthusiastic and helpful to me. In the future, under the leadership and care of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, I will do my job well."

"Okay, do a good job. Come to my place for tea when you are free." After saying that, Mao Yumin walked to Li Weiguo's office by himself. Li Wujiang knew that it was not appropriate to report to Li Weiguo at this time. He trotted in two steps, walked in front of Mao Yumin, knocked on Li Weiguo's office twice, opened the door, and then extended his hand to invite Mao Yumin in.

Mao Yumin smiled and looked at Li Wujiang twice, thinking that Li Weiguo had found a good secretary with quick reaction ability.

After Li Wujiang made a cup of tea for Mao Yumin, he retreated.

After Mao Yumin went in for a while, Li Wujiang heard that both sides had a high voice, which could be heard outside the door. Not long after that, Mao Yumin came out.

Li Wujiang could tell from the sound of Mao Yumin closing the door that Mao Yumin was not in the mood to go in just now, but when leaving, he still invited Li Wujiang to have tea gracefully. Li Wujiang smiled and sent Mao Yumin away.

Chapter 365 People around the leader represent the leader's intentions

In the afternoon, Li Weiguo was going to inspect the Provincial Public Security Department, accompanied by Cheng Haifa, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Miao Chengyi, Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, and Zong Tao, Deputy Governor and Director of the Public Security Department. The Public Security Department was full of male comrades, but Li Wujiang still saw a female comrade among them, that is Ma Fuxian. Ma Fuxian was able to participate in Li Weiguo's research process, which shows that Ma Fuxian's status in the Public Security Department is not low. Other leaders were accompanying Li Weiguo, and Ma Fuxian quietly walked to Li Wujiang and said, "Director Li, welcome to the Provincial Public Security Department to inspect and guide the work."

"Sister Ma, you should call me Wujiang. I am accompanying the leader, and I am not qualified to guide the work of the public security department." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

"You are a person close to the leader, and every word you say represents the leader's intention. We, the comrades below, should do the same."

What Ma Fuxian said was true. Li Wujiang was very careful about every word he said now, because he not only represented himself, but in the eyes of many people, his words also represented Li Weiguo's will.

"Sister Ma, I see that the comrades in the Provincial Public Security Department are all in high spirits. The crime incidence rate and crime solving rate in the province are very good. The public security situation in the province is very good." Li Wujiang said this deliberately, just to hear what Ma Fuxian said.

"Wujiang, when the leader comes, then let the leader see what he should see. When the leader is not here, then it should be another way." Ma Fuxian's words are very insightful. This is a common situation in the officialdom. The leader is completely different when he is here and when he is not.

Li Wujiang smiled and changed the subject suddenly, "Sister Ma, what do you know about Baoquan City?"

Ma Fuxian couldn't keep up with Li Wujiang's rhythm. He didn't know what Li Wujiang wanted to ask, but since Li Wujiang asked about Baoquan City, it must not be asking without purpose. If he answered well, it would add points in Li Wujiang's impression; if he answered poorly, he and Li Wujiang would not be as close as they are now. "Wujiang, why did you suddenly ask about Baoquan?"

"Sister Ma, I was just asking casually. A friend of mine came to Jining and wanted to invest in Baoquan, so he wanted to ask me to find out about the social security in Baoquan. After all, it's a large investment, so he thought it would be better to be cautious." Li Wujiang made up this excuse casually, but it was very suitable.

"Baoquan is rich in oil and coal resources, and has made a lot of contributions to the development of the country in recent years. However, the security environment in Baoquan is still far behind that in other areas of Jining in the past two years. There are various reasons for this." Ma Fuxian saw that there were many people around and did not give specific explanations.

"Sister Ma, it seems that I have found the right person. I will invite Sister Ma and Brother Cao to have a small gathering these two days, and then ask Sister Ma for advice." Li Wujiang has already got the answer he wanted. From Ma Fuxian's mouth, Li Wujiang at least felt that she had little to do with Baoquan. As the top leader, Li Weiguo often had difficulty doing things, so Li Wujiang had to do it for him and find some people who could help him from the outside.

"Okay, Wujiang, you've been here for so long, your brother Cao has long said that he would treat you to a meal of Jining specialties."

Li Wujiang was also not convenient to leave Li Weiguo for too long, so he left after chatting with Ma Fuxian for a while.

Li Weiguo was busy until the evening, and Li Wujiang followed him until the evening. It was not until after eight o'clock that Li Wujiang was free. He called to ask where Zhao Qianlong was. Zhao Qianlong had already arranged a place. Li Wujiang took a taxi directly to the place Zhao Qianlong said, called the Red Man Hall, which was very hidden. When Li Wujiang arrived, he suspected that it was not Zhao Qianlong's first time to Jining, and he could find such a hidden place.

Zhao Qianlong was waiting for Li Wujiang downstairs, but he didn't expect that there were three people accompanying Zhao Qianlong. Li Wujiang knew one of them, that is, Deputy Governor Tang Jiahe. Although the two had never spoken, they had met. Li Wujiang had a photographic memory of these leaders.

Li Wujiang originally wanted to give Zhao Qianlong a hug, but when he saw Tang Jiahe here, he reached out and shook hands with Tang Jiahe first. "Governor Tang, hello, why are you waiting here for me?"

"Director Li, you are the leader now, we should wait for you." Tang Jiahe said enthusiastically.

After Li Wujiang shook hands with Tang Jiahe, he looked at the other two. Zhao Qianlong hurried forward to introduce, "Wujiang, this is Ding Fangning, General Manager of Jilin-Liaoning Chemical Industry, and the other is Comrade Wang Kuisheng, Deputy Mayor of Baoquan City."

Li Wujiang was stunned. Recently, he has been trying to find a way to investigate Baoquan City, and here appeared a deputy mayor of Baoquan City. But it should not be a problem that Zhao Qianlong brought them here. Li Wujiang smiled and shook hands with the two, and finally gave Zhao Qianlong a big hug. Then a group of five people entered the club. When they were in the elevator, a very subtle scene appeared. Tang Jiahe had the highest official position, and he should have walked in front, but Li Wujiang, as the secretary of the top leader, was in an especially important position, so Tang Jiahe let Li Wujiang walk in front. In the end, both parties walked in front together.

Zhao Qianlong brought these people without saying hello to Li Wujiang in advance. Jining is a place with strong local forces. The Zhao family had little influence in Jining before. The only person who could be called a leader was Tang Jiahe. However, for various reasons, Tang Jiahe was only a deputy governor and did not enter the Standing Committee. A deputy governor who did not enter the Standing Committee could not enter the decision-making level, so the influence of the Zhao family in Jining was relatively small. This time, Li Weiguo went to Jining Province as the top leader, and Li Wujiang followed him to serve as a secretary. This was an opportunity for the Zhao family. The relationship between the Zhao family and Li Wujiang was still very close. With the consent of the family, Zhao Qianlong handed over these people from the Jining Zhao family to Li Wujiang. On the one hand, he hoped to help Li Wujiang, and on the other hand, he hoped to make further progress with the help of Li Wujiang.

"Brother Jiang, congratulations on your progress. I will continue to rely on you in the future. You left the capital in a hurry. We didn't have time to set up a table for you before you left. This time I came to Jining specifically to congratulate you. Uncle Tang, General Manager Ding, and Deputy Mayor Wang heard that I was going to host Director Li, and they wanted to meet the leader no matter what." Zhao Qianlong spoke in a serious and informal manner.

"Qianlong, don't talk nonsense. The people sitting here are all my leaders. Today, the boss has a lot of things to do, so Governor Tang has been waiting until now. I will host today to express my apology."

"Director Li, your words are a bit embarrassing. We are all old Jining people. You should give us a chance to welcome Director Li." Tang Jiahe said with a smile.

Chapter 366: Hug together for warmth and stand on the right side in time

"Governor Tang, please don't call me director. It's a bit embarrassing for me. Just call me Wujiang or Xiaoli. Today's meal is my apprenticeship banquet. I'm new here. I don't understand many things in Ji Ning. Please give me more guidance from leaders in the future.”

"Oh, don't fight. It's just a meal. Let's kill Mr. Ding for this meal. Mr. Ding is the richest man here. If we don't beat him, who will we beat? There will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to sit together in the future. "

"Yes, leaders, Qianlong is right. Give this opportunity to me. As an entrepreneur, I may cause trouble for you in the future. I hope you won't find it troublesome." It seems that the relationship between Ding Fangning and Zhao Qianlong good.

It was just the right time for five people to drink, and several of them drank quite a lot. After a while, they drank up four or five bottles.

When the wine was in full swing, Wang Kuisheng, the deputy mayor of Baoquan City, took the initiative to propose a toast to Li Wujiang. Although this guy is the deputy mayor at the deputy department level, he is the lowest ranking person at this table, so he has no chance to speak at all in the evening. Wang Kuisheng was not a person trained by the Zhao family, but a person from Tang Jiahe. Wang Kuisheng is not young anymore, but he has been suppressed by Wan Fenghua in Baoquan City, so he is still the deputy mayor until now. I happened to be reporting to Tang Jiahe today. I heard that Tang Jiahe said that he was going to have a banquet with Li Wujiang today. This guy had a quick thinking and thought that his opportunity had come, so he followed Tang Jiahe here shamelessly. "Director Li, welcome to work in Jining, and welcome to Baoquan City to guide work."

Li Wujiang tentatively said, "Thank you, Mayor Wang. I really want to go to Baoquan, but I heard that the security environment in Baoquan is worrying. I'm worried about my personal safety."

Wang Kuisheng was a little embarrassed after hearing what Li Wujiang said. Baoquan City is famous for its poor public security environment in Jining. I didn't expect that Li Wujiang would find out just after he came here. "Director Li, don't worry, Baoquan City is working hard to create a new Baoquan with clean, upright, safe and harmonious atmosphere. I believe that when Director Li passes, we will see a brand new Baoquan City."

Li Wujiang felt that although this Wang Kuisheng was rough and rough, he was very smart. He did not say anything bad about Baoquan City, but just described the future prospects for Baoquan. "Okay, Baoquan City has such a capable leader as Mayor Wang, Baoquan's future will be bright. Come, let's drink to the future Baoquan City."

Wang Kuisheng was also very excited at this time. Li Wujiang used the word "future" as if it was foreshadowing something.

"Brother Jiang, I will ask you to take good care of Mr. Ding when we are in Jining from now on. You have an excellent mind and keen vision in the business. The future development of Jiliao Chemical Industry still needs your advice." The Zhao family in official circles There is a layout, but there is also a very important layout in the mall. Jiliao Chemical Industry is a very important sector. In the Northeast, the most abundant thing is oil. Jiliao Chemical Industry is also the second largest enterprise after Jining Heavy Industry. However, the situation of Jiliao Chemical Industry in the past two years has not been ideal. With the depletion of resources, how to transform and develop Jiliao Chemical Industry has become a difficult problem.

Ding Fangning originally thought that Li Wujiang was the top secretary, and Zhao Qianlong came here for this purpose, hoping to have a good layout in the officialdom in the future. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qianlong also greatly praised Li Wujiang's business talent, and felt that Zhao Qianlong was a bit bragging. He is also a department-level state-owned enterprise boss with rich management experience. He is better than Li Wujiang in any way. However, he looked at Zhao Qianlong's face and said, "Oh, I am very interested after hearing what Qianlong said. I have been in the business all my life and I have some experience. I am very happy to be able to communicate with Director Li today. "Ding Fangning also drank a lot and spoke a little casually. Zhao Qianlong asked Li Wujiang to help him, but he wanted to communicate with Li Wujiang, which was a big mistake.

Zhao Qianlong became a little angry when he saw Ding Fangning being so rude. Li Wujiang's talent cannot be questioned by others. Ding Fangning is just a pawn of their Zhao family, but Li Wujiang is different, he is his friend and brother. "Mr. Ding, I think you drank too much. You will have more opportunities to ask for advice some other time."

"Qianlong, Director Li finally came out. This is a good opportunity. Why did you miss it like this?" Ding Fangning was still a bit resigned and refused to let it go.

Tang Jiahe and Wang Kuisheng originally wanted to persuade Ding Fangning, but were stopped by Li Wujiang at this time. For people like Ding Fangning, Li Wujiang believed that in order to convince him, he had to defeat him professionally. Li Wujiang did not think that Ding Fangning disrespected him. Being a businessman and being an official are completely different things. Officials use their power to make others surrender, which means they have to obey; those who work in business use their authority to make others surrender, which means they surrender willingly. "Mr. Ding, Qianlong also praised me just now. I can't say that I have brilliant opinions on corporate dedication, but I do have some insights. Especially after arriving in Jining, I also have some crude insights into our chemical industry. Ji Ning Ning's chemical industry accounts for half of Jining Province and has made significant contributions to the development of Jining. Of course, with the development of society, the improvement of economic level, and the rapid increase of people's income, it will not be a problem for every family to own a car in the future. Dream, the chemical raw materials based on petroleum will usher in a new stage of rapid development. Petroleum is the most important power fuel in our country. It is widely used in power machinery such as automobiles, ships, warships, and aircraft, and can also be used as lubricating oil. We must be prepared for danger when we are in peace. Our country is an oil-poor country, with less high-quality oil and relatively high extraction costs. How many years can our oil fields in Jining be exploited? What should we companies do if there are no oil resources in the future? This is not only related to us. The development of Jilin Chemical Industry is closely related to the development of Jining Province and even the people’s lives.”

Li Wujiang's words completely aroused the appetites of Ding Fangning, Tang Jiahe and others. They did not expect that this young secretary had such profound thinking and such a grand vision, which was not consistent with his youth. Zhao Qianlong looked at several people staring at Li Wujiang, waiting for the next step, with a smile on his face. This was Li Wujiang's charm, which could attract everyone's attention.

Ding Fangning couldn't wait to ask, "Director Li, what do you think our country's chemical companies should do in the future and where should they go?"

"Actually, I don't have a solution, because the solution is always in the hands of practitioners, that is, in the hands of you companies. No matter how good others say, we still need you great practitioners and pioneers to lead our country in the future. Large enterprises continue to transform and upgrade and expand their territory.”

Chapter 367 An expert has his own brilliance

"Of course, I also have some immature suggestions to share with you here. The first is to adhere to the "five major strategies" of innovation, resources, market, internationalization, green and low carbon, implement strategic measures to improve quality, efficiency, and low-cost development, and continuously deepen Reform and innovation, quality and efficiency improvement, transformation and development, and risk prevention will ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the two major oil and gas industry chains. Accelerate the concentration of the refining and chemical industry, promote large-scale, integrated, base-based, and intensive production capacity construction, and strictly enforce industry capabilities. consumption and emission standards, and resolutely eliminate backward production capacity; improve the level of cascade utilization and recycling of energy resources, build smart refineries, and achieve smart management and control, energy conservation and efficiency; accelerate the adjustment of the energy consumption structure of the refining and chemical industry, promote "gas-to-coal", Electrify, strengthen the supply of green hydrogen, promote emission reduction and carbon reduction; strengthen the construction of a recycling system for petrochemical products, and increase the recycling of plastics and other petrochemical products. Second, we must insist on going global, that is, increase the layout of the overseas oil industry, Central Asia. Africa and other places are rich in oil resources. We must speed up the deployment of oil exploration and import overseas. Whoever is the first to deploy will win the opportunity in the future market. Third, accelerate the deployment in the field of new energy, photovoltaic power generation, wind power, and hydrogen. Energy development will become a new resource industry in the future. For these new industries, we should plan ahead, innovate technology research and development and research models, adhere to the path of innovation-driven development, and rely on technology to drive the efficient development of traditional and new businesses. "

What Li Wujiang said was high, deep, broad and far-reaching. As the head of a petrochemical company, Ding Fangning felt ashamed. In recent years, he has seen that my country's petrochemical industry is facing a blowout demand, but he has also clearly seen the shortcomings of my country's petrochemical industry. In particular, the lack of production capacity will choke the throat of development. Li Wujiang's strategy of tapping internal potential, overseas layout, and developing new energy has indeed provided new ideas for the future development of petrochemical companies.

"Director Li, you are really a master. Just now Qianlong said that you have unique insights in business management. I still didn't believe it, but now I'm convinced. Director Li, I punish myself with three drinks and apologize to you." Ding Fangning picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it, but was stopped by Li Wujiang.

"Mr. Ding, we are just talking about our thoughts and ideas. The real practice and operation depends on you entrepreneurs. Let's all drink together and hope that Jining will get better and better in the future." Li Wujiang suggested, Everyone stood up and drank.

After drinking and eating, Li Wujiang and others sent Tangjiahe away first. Ding Fangning suggested that everyone go sing together, but Li Wujiang refused. Instead, he accompanied Zhao Qianlong back to the hotel.

"Brother Jiang, I'm really sorry that I brought these people over without saying hello to you in advance." Zhao Qianlong said he was embarrassed, but in fact he was not embarrassed at all.

"You kid, don't do this to me. What do you mean by bringing Governor Tang and the others here?" Li Wujiang said with a smile.

"Brother Jiang, you are a smart man. You understand what I mean. Our old Zhao family only has this little wealth in Jining Province. Secretary Li and you have just arrived in Jining Province. You can use these people at will, and they can help. most."

"Qianlong, your old Zhao family is really not simple. You have plans everywhere. You are indeed a famous family. If you leave these people to me, you won't be afraid that I will take them away." Li Wujiang also admires the heritage of these big families. It is simply not comparable to some grassroots efforts.

"Brother Jiang, our old man said that this guy Wujiang has lofty ambitions, excellent thinking, and his future is limitless. Look how much the old man values ​​you. Now it's not you who want to make friends with our old Zhao family, but us The old Zhao family wants to make friends with you. I hope that one day when you take off, you will not forget the friendship between us. "

Li Wujiang felt that this friendship was a bit heavy. He was still just a deputy department-level cadre, and he was nothing in front of the big leaders. The old Zhao family actually has such great courage to bet on themselves. This is not something that aristocratic family can do. "Okay, I won't say much more. Thank you, the old Zhao family, for your trust, and thank you as a brother for your support. How much do you know about Wang Kuisheng?"

"Brother Jiang, I don't know much about Wang Kuisheng. This time he was brought here by Tang Jiahe. If you want to know more about Wang Kuisheng, I can help you ask Wang Kuisheng."

"Okay, forget it if you don't understand. I will find a way to understand. If this person is available, I might be able to give him a blessing in the future. Qianlong, you plan to stay in Jining for a few days this time, won't you just Make a special trip to see it off for me."

"This is one aspect. When we come to Jining this time, we are here to get a piece of land to prepare for real estate construction in Jining Province."

"Your hands are really stretched out, and you won't let go of Jining's real estate market. But this is good, as you can make some contribution to Jining's development. How about it, do you plan to invest in other industries recently?"

"Brother Jiang, what I'm waiting for is your words. You are our God of Wealth. We will develop in which industry you say we will develop."

"You are here to squeeze my residual value again. I need consulting fees."

"Okay, I'll pay as much as you say."

Zhao Qianlong and Li Wujiang chatted a lot. It was late that night, and Li Wujiang stayed in the hotel.

Li Wujiang had just arrived at the office. Not long after, the phone on the desk rang. When Li Wujiang saw that it was Miao Chengyi, he quickly picked it up. "Secretary-General, hello. Okay, I'll go over now." Miao Chengyi came to Li Wujiang early in the morning, and Li Wujiang guessed that it was for an inspection.

As expected, after Miao Chengyi gave Li Wujiang the day's itinerary, he also gave Li Weiguo's inspection itinerary.

"Wujiang, look at what else needs to be modified in this itinerary?"
