The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"It doesn't matter who I am. The key is that you must recognize who you are and don't let yourself go on the road of lawlessness."

The bald man was frightened by what Li Wujiang said. At this time, he had no idea who the great god in front of him was. If he caught the wrong person, he would be in trouble. The bald man asked Xiao Ma and others to keep an eye on Li Wujiang, and he went out to make a phone call alone.

"Brother Lin, there are two people who look very powerful. We don't know how to deal with them?" The bald man asked for instructions on the phone and told the other party about the situation.

The other party was silent for a while and said, "Please have someone keep an eye on them first, and I will ask about the situation."

"Da Lin, why did you think of me so late?"

"Did anyone come to Dongliang County today?"

"You are well-informed. The new mayor came to Dongliang County for inspection and research today."

"Is he still in Dongliang County today?"

"He lives in Dongliang Resort Hotel not far from Dongliang Port. Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Tonight, two strangers suddenly broke into Dongliang Port. Please check if Mayor Li is still in the hotel."

The other party had already fallen asleep and was suddenly awakened. He immediately went to Zhou Zhan's room to check the situation. When he found that there was no one in Zhou Zhan's room, he realized that the problem was serious. Dongliang Port detained the mayor, which was a serious political incident.

"Dalin, you are in big trouble."

When Dalin heard the other party say this, he knew that the bald man and his men detained Li Wujiang. He was thinking quickly in his heart, how did Li Wujiang come to Dongliang Port so late. Is he passing by or intentional.

Seeing that Dalin didn't speak, the other party hurriedly said, "Dalin, you go to the scene now and apologize to Mayor Li, just say that the company's production needs to be kept confidential, and the employees below don't know Mayor Li, causing misunderstandings. I will go there immediately."

After half a quarter of an hour, a man in his forties came in. The bald man immediately bowed his head and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Mayor Li, I am Lin Zhijiang, general manager of Binjiang Changsheng Trading Co., Ltd., welcome to our company to inspect and guide the work." Lin Zhijiang said with a smile, and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Li Wujiang. But Li Wujiang didn't stretch out his hand, and Lin Zhijiang inadvertently revealed a trace of anger.

"Boss Lin, you are running a trading company. I thought you were a fighting company and you had so many helpers."

Lin Zhijiang immediately apologized to Li Wujiang, "Mayor Li, we didn't do our job well. Since the products we run are confidential, these people are warehouse managers hired by our company. They don't know what they are doing. Ah Zeng, Xiao Ma, you should apologize to Mayor Li quickly."

The bald man realized that he had caused a big disaster at this time. He accidentally caught the mayor and felt regretful. He immediately apologized to Li Wujiang.

"Boss Lin, since your company is running a legal business, as the mayor of Binzhou City, it is my duty to care about the development of the company. Can you take us to visit your company?"

Lin Zhijiang's face looked a little ugly. "Mayor Li, it's late today. Many workers have already left work and the port terminal has been closed. Mayor Li, will you come to our Changsheng Trading Company for research and investigation tomorrow?"

At this time, Li Dayong, Liu Yongchang, and Zhu Yinglai had already rushed over. Li Dayong said in a panic, "Mr. Lin, Mayor Li is here. Why don't you invite Mayor Li to sit in the office?"

"Secretary Li, this is my negligence. I was busy apologizing to Mayor Li and forgot to invite Mayor Li to sit in the office."

"Okay, since Secretary Dayong is here, we can go. Mr. Lin, we in Binjiang welcome entrepreneurs from all over the country to invest and start businesses, but we in Binjiang will never tolerate illegal operators. Dongliang Port is the port of Binzhou people and the port of Jining people. I hope Dongliang Port can become a bridgehead for Binzhou's development." After that, Li Wujiang left.

Chapter 464 The key to Binzhou lies in Dongliang, and the key to Dongliang lies in Dongliang Port

Along the way, Li Dayong wanted to explain something, but Li Wujiang didn't give Li Dayong a chance. Back to the hotel, he originally wanted to talk to Li Wujiang, but Li Wujiang closed the door and said goodbye to him.

"Secretary Li, what does this little mayor mean? He is not coming for our Dongliang Port this time." That night, Li Dayong couldn't sleep at all and called Lin Zhijiang over.

"Dalin, this is a bad person, and good people don't come." Li Dayong showed a worried look.

"Secretary Li, we have experienced all kinds of storms, and such a young mayor can't make a big wave."

"Dalin, don't bully him because he is young. He is so young and can serve as the mayor of Binzhou, which means he is not ordinary. You should be more careful in the future. Dongliang Port is going to change."

"Secretary Li, it is not up to us to decide whether Dongliang Port will change or not. We still need to listen to the opinions of the higher-ups. Dongliang Port involves the interests of the higher-ups, and it is not so easy to change it." Lin Zhijiang certainly did not want to give up Dongliang Port just like that.

"It's not about whether we want to or not, but Mayor Li wants to use Dongliang Port as a scapegoat. You and I both know that the key to Binzhou lies in Dongliang, and the key to Dongliang lies in Dongliang Port. Dongliang Port is the only channel to the sea in Jining. If Binzhou wants to develop, it must open up this artery. You and I should know the importance of Dongliang Port." Li Dayong looked at the stars outside and said thoughtfully.

"Secretary Li, don't be scared out of your mind by this kid. There are people in our provincial capital who will not let this young mayor do whatever he wants. If it doesn't work, we will make it impossible for him to continue his work in Binzhou City."

"Da Lin, you'd better be careful. Li Wujiang is no ordinary person. He is the secretary of the provincial party committee secretary, and his backer is the top leader of the provincial party committee. If you want to manipulate him, you should also weigh your own weight."

"Don't worry about this. I will seriously consider what to do."

Li Wujiang left Dongliang County early in the morning. Before leaving, he asked Li Dayong to seriously think about the future development prospects of Dongliang Port, and solemnly told Li Dayong Binzhou City's determination and confidence in developing Dongliang Port.

Li Wujiang continued to conduct research in grassroots counties and districts. At the same time, he communicated with Qi Shaobo on the phone and asked him to arrange personnel to cooperate with Ding Fangning in making preliminary preparations.

Li Wujiang spent four days to have a brief understanding of the grassroots level in Binzhou. The overall feeling given to him by Binzhou is that it has a rich history and legacy, but its economic development is unbalanced and the people are still very poor as a whole. The two major tasks pressing on his mind are to develop Binzhou's economy and improve Binzhou people's lives. After Li Wujiang completed his investigation, he immediately reported to Ge Jiande.

"Wujiang, thank you for your hard work. You are really a man of action. All the cadres in Binzhou City must be like you. You will not worry about the lack of hope for development."

"Secretary Ge, as long as we as leaders work harder and can make the people live a better life, I think it is worth it. I am here today mainly to report the situation of this survey to Secretary Ge. Although Binzhou has developed a lot in the past two years, There has been improvement, but overall there is still a big gap between the development of developed coastal areas. The industrial development of various counties and districts lacks momentum, and the people have not yet escaped poverty. "

"Wujiang, although you have only been here for a short time, your vision is very accurate and you can see the problem right away. Although Binzhou has a rich history and a glorious past, Binzhou City has lagged behind after all. The pace of reform and development in recent years has not been big enough. Some cadres are still addicted to the past system and lack the spirit of hard work and struggle. This time the provincial party committee sent you to Binzhou, which gave me hope for Binzhou’s rise.”

Li Wujiang was very moved after hearing Ge Jiande's words. He hopes to cooperate well with Ge Jiande to build Binzhou well. "Secretary Ge, you can't say that. You are the leader of Binzhou and the center of Binzhou. We will all obey and cooperate with your arrangements. I also hope that during my time working in Binzhou, I can build Binzhou well under your leadership and make Binzhou better." Become a nationalized metropolis. Secretary Ge, when it comes to this, I have two thoughts.”

Looking at Ge Jiande's encouraging eyes, Li Wujiang continued, "Binzhou's development needs a breakthrough, so where is the breakthrough for Binzhou's development? After this period of research, I believe that Dongliang has two important industries: shipbuilding and petrochemical manufacturing. industry, and also has a high-quality port like Dongliang Port. We can definitely make use of Dongliang Port. The port is a large-scale project. The expansion and construction of the port will not only stimulate the development of local related industries in Binzhou, but also after the completion of the port construction, it can become Dongliang Port. As the largest land and sea import and export in the three provinces, we will rely on the port to vigorously develop advanced manufacturing domestically and foreign trade externally. "

"Okay, Mayor Wujiang, you have great ideas. You have found a breakthrough for Binzhou's development in such a short period of time. As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first. Binzhou is close to the sea, so it must rely on the sea to eat. In ancient times, a sea The Silk Road has led to the development of Quanzhou and other places; now, modern logistics terminals have led to the prosperity and development of Jiangnan City. If you can start from Dongliang Port, this is a good choice. However, there are still some Dongliang Port terminals in Wujiang. "I'm worried that it won't be easy to achieve a breakthrough in Dongliang Port." Ge Jiande arrived in Binzhou more than a year earlier than Li Wujiang, and of course he also knows some of Dongliang Port's secrets. It wasn't that he didn't want to make a difference at Dongliang Port this year, but because of the infighting with the former mayor, he had no time to consider the development of Dongliang Port.

"Secretary Ge, today I just want to talk to you about what's on my mind. There is a big problem in Dongliang Port, which is no secret in Binzhou. However, everyone knows that such a good and excellent terminal is allowed to be used by others instead of the people. I suggest that the Binzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government should do something about the problem of Dongliang Port, resolutely crack down on existing illegal activities, and restore clear skies to Dongliang Port.”

Ge Jiande thought for a while and said, "Mayor Wujiang, the people and things involved in the Dongliang Port issue may be more complicated than we thought. I know your determination and confidence in doing things. If we can't handle this matter well, Not only will our work be wasted, it will also undermine the confidence of other investors.”

"Secretary Ge, I believe that our municipal party committee, under your leadership, has the ability, wisdom and confidence to solve the problem of Dongliang Port. As long as we are united and work together, I believe there is no problem that we cannot solve. Of course we can solve the problem of Dongliang Port. The problem cannot be solved overnight. We can arrange relevant personnel to conduct a thorough investigation of the specific situation of Dongliang Port, and when the time is right, we can take further action.”

Chapter 465: A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, threatening safety

"Okay, you have considered it very maturely. I agree with your idea in principle. The investigation process must be kept confidential. However, I still want to remind you not to act too hastily. If you push some people into a hurry, I am worried that they will jump over the wall and threaten you. safety.”

"Thank you, Secretary Ge, for your concern. There is a saying that if you are afraid of death, you should not become a cadre. When I decided to work in Binzhou, I have put my personal interests aside. No matter what the cost, I must build Binzhou well. Secretary Ge, there is another one I want to tell you the news." Li Wujiang told Ge Jiande about the integrated petrochemical refining project.

After hearing this, Ge Jiande felt excited in his heart. Of course he can tell that this is a big project, a tens of billions project. This is history in Binzhou, and it is second to none for Jining. If such a large-scale project can be introduced to Binzhou City, it will drive the development of many industries in Binzhou, and Binzhou will become the leader of Jining Province. This is not an extravagant hope. "Wujiang, is your news accurate?"

Seeing Ge Jiande's excitement, Li Wujiang was also very pleased. "Secretary Ge, I have verified this news with the staff of the National Development and Reform Commission. This integrated refining and chemical project is currently in the project approval stage, and the project address has not yet been selected. However, some provinces have already participated in the competition in advance."

"Such a large project is bound to be popular, and many cities across the country will participate in the competition. Wujiang, what are our advantages in Binzhou compared with other places?"

Li Wujiang felt that Ge Jiande was relatively sober. He was not dazzled or intimidated by big projects. Instead, he analyzed it calmly. "Secretary Ge, the biggest disadvantage of Binzhou compared with Guangxia, Zhejiang and other provinces is that the economy is not developed enough and lacks supporting funds and flexible policies. Of course, we in Binzhou also have our advantages. First of all, we have a complete petrochemical industry system, Jianguo Since then, our Binzhou City has established a complete petrochemical system and has abundant oil reserves. This is our biggest advantage. Secondly, we have a high-quality Dongliang Port Terminal. The biggest problem in the integrated refining and chemical project is the transportation of petrochemical products. We can rely on Dongliang Port to expand the tonnage of Dongliang Port Terminal and create convenience for the import and export of goods. This is what we said earlier that if Binzhou’s economy wants to develop, the problem of Dongliang Port Terminal must be solved. Furthermore, the biggest core of refining and chemical integration is environmental protection. Problem, our Binzhou City is strategically located close to the coastline, which can minimize pollution problems.”

Ge Jiande admired Li Wujiang more and more. Although this mayor was young, he had clear ideas and could accurately grasp the key points of affairs. "Okay, Wujiang seems that you have done a sufficient job. Since we have so many advantages in Binzhou, then you try your best to fight for it, and I will be your strong backing. If you need anything, you can just ask."

"Secretary Ge, this is a large-scale project that cannot be completed by one person alone. This requires everyone to unite and work together to win this project under your leadership. I have an idea. We can go to the provincial party committee and the provincial government to submit the project together. Secretary Li and Governor Chen reported the relevant situation, obtained the consent of the Provincial Party Committee, and obtained relevant policy support from the Provincial Party Committee, which I believe will be more conducive to our next work.”

Li Wujiang's behavior of not taking credit and being arrogant, and not eating alone made Ge Jiande very satisfied. Li Wujiang knew very well that if he wanted to achieve success in Binzhou, he still couldn't bypass Ge Jiande, so he needed to tie Ge Jiande and him on the same ship. No matter whose achievement it was, as long as Binzhou developed, it would be good. .

"Okay, Wujiang, whatever you say needs to be done, I will do it."

"Secretary Ge, Secretary Li happens to be in Jiyang. Let's choose a different date. We will go to the provincial capital today. Tomorrow we will report the relevant work to Secretary Li. This is the material I prepared, and you will be the one to report at that time."

"Okay, then let's rush back to the provincial capital now. But you know the situation better, so it's better for you to make the main report and I'll make a supplementary report."

"Secretary Ge, you are our backbone, you still need to report such a major event in person." Li Wujiang said modestly.

Li Wujiang and Ge Jiande rushed back to Jiyang that day. Because Cao Minglou knew that Li Wujiang would report to Li Weiguo when he came back, he made an appointment with Li Wujiang to have dinner together in advance. This was also to express his congratulations to Li Wujiang. Since Li Wujiang came to Binzhou City to serve as mayor in a hurry, Cao Minglou has not yet celebrated in person. On the one hand, it was to celebrate Li Wujiang's promotion, and on the other hand, it was to thank Li Wujiang for helping him. In order not to put pressure on Ge Jiande, Li Wujiang did not invite Ge Jiande.

The place to eat is arranged in Hongren Street, which is also a place Li Wujiang is familiar with. Li Wujiang saw that Ma Fuxian had been waiting there for a long time. What Li Wujiang didn't expect was that there was an acquaintance beside Ma Fuxian, and that was Cheng Zhigang, deputy director of the Binzhou Public Security Bureau.

"Sister Ma, why are you waiting for me at the door in person? This really offends me." Li Wujiang saw that Ma Fuxian was becoming more and more ladylike, which was completely different from the Ma Fuxian he had just met. Ma Fuxian is now very proud. Not only has her husband been promoted to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, but she has also risen to the occasion and is now the Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Department.

"Wujiang, I will always be your sister Ma. In my eyes, you will always be your younger brother. Isn't it right for me to come to pick you up?" Ma Fuxian said the truth, and she knew it very well in her heart. Whatever she and Cao Minglou gain now is inseparable from Li Wujiang. Although the gap between them and Li Wujiang had widened, she knew how powerful Li Wujiang was. Not only does he have a good relationship with the leaders of the provincial party committee, but he also has a good relationship with the leaders of the capital ministries and commissions.

"Sister Ma is right, but I, the little brother, am wrong. I will toast Sister Ma a few more glasses of wine later to apologize. Director Cheng is also here today." Li Wujiang dealt with Cheng Zhigang.

Cheng Zhigang said hello, Mayor Li, and said nothing more.

"Wujiang, Director Zhigang will be an old acquaintance. Today he just came to the provincial department to report on his work, so I pulled him over to accompany you. Zhigang and I are old classmates, and we will need your care in Binzhou in the future."

"Sister Ma, what you said is wrong. Director Zhigang and I are both from Binzhou City, and you are from the provincial department. It should be that we will need Secretary Cao and your care in the future."

"Let's go, Wujiang, let's go in and sit down first. You know Lao Cao's situation, and the closer it is to dinner time, the busier he is. Let's start first, and when he comes, let him make up for the wine."

"Wujiang, you have been in Binzhou for more than a week. How does it feel to be the top leader?" Ma Fuxian asked with a smile.

Chapter 466: Conquer people's hearts, start from the inside

"Sister Ma, you don't know the difficulties of the grassroots until you work at the grassroots level, and you don't know the difficulties of a place's development until you are the top leader. I just arrived in Binzhou, and I am completely in the dark. Now I am still at a loss."

"Brother Wujiang, you are too modest. You either don't do it or make a big splash. I think you are saving up a big move, waiting to surprise Secretary Li."

Ma Fuxian was originally joking, but he didn't expect Li Wujiang to come to the provincial capital this time with a big move. "Don't laugh at me, I can't stand praise. But I came to the provincial capital this time, and I really wanted to report some things to Director Ma."

"Director Ma, Mayor Li, you guys chat first, I'll go out and urge the secretary-general and others to go?" Cheng Zhigang saw that Li Wujiang had work to report to Ma Fuxian, and it would be a bit embarrassing if he stayed there.

Ma Fuxian glanced at Li Wujiang, which meant whether Li Wujiang needed to avoid the things he reported.

"Director Zhigang, please sit down. Secretary Cao will come and contact Sister Ma soon. The work I report to Director Ma is also related to the work of our city's public security department. If I have some questions, you can also help to raise opinions."

"Sit down, Director Zhigang. Mayor Wujiang is not an outsider. In Binzhou in the future, you will do whatever Mayor Wujiang asks you to do. Following Mayor Wujiang, the direction will not be wrong." Ma Fuxian was reminding Cheng Zhigang and also helping Cheng Zhigang.

"Director Ma is right. In Binzhou in the future, I will obey Mayor Li's arrangements." Cheng Zhigang is also a smart man and immediately expressed his determination to Li Wujiang.

"Okay, Director Zhigang, Director Ma is joking. Sister Ma, I remember that the Provincial Party Committee's Special Leading Office for Combating Gangsters and Eliminating Evil has not been abolished yet?"

"Yes, you are still a liaison officer and have not had time to change it yet. Why do you suddenly ask this question today?"

"Has the Office for Combating Gangsters and Eliminating Evil received relevant clues from Binzhou City?"

Li Wujiang suddenly asked this question. Ma Fuxian knew that Li Wujiang would not ask it casually. Since he asked, there must be a follow-up. She thought for a moment and said, "The Anti-gang Office did receive some clues about Binzhou City, but not many. And since the anti-gang campaign was launched last year, you know that it mainly targeted Baoquan City and Suiyuan City, and the anti-gang campaign in other cities was not very strong."

"Oh, is there any information about Binzhou Dongliang Port?"

When Cheng Zhigang heard Li Wujiang asking about Binzhou City's anti-gang situation, he guessed that Li Wujiang would ask about Dongliang Port. He didn't expect Li Wujiang to ask about it, which made him tremble in his heart.

Because Dongliang Port is the only port in Jining, most people in Jining know Dongliang Port. Ma Fuxian is no exception. "Wujiang, when you took office in Binzhou, I knew you would solve the problem of Dongliang Port. After all, Dongliang Port is the only seaport in Jining. If Binzhou wants to develop, it must solve the problem of going to the sea. Of course, I also know what you want to ask. Dongliang Port is a very good port, but it has been controlled by certain people and certain companies in recent years, which fully illustrates the problems. Of course, it is no secret that we have indeed received some reports about smuggling in Dongliang Port. However, there are many interests involved, and this issue has not been investigated. Director Zhigang, you have worked in Binzhou for a long time. Please report the situation of Dongliang Port to Mayor Wujiang in detail."
