The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Lin Zhijiang was awakened from his sleep. There were constant gunshots outside. He knew that Changsheng Company was late. He didn't expect Li Wujiang to make a feint to the east and attack the west, deliberately leaving Binzhou, but secretly took action. Seeing his brothers being arrested one by one, Lin Zhijiang had prepared a sea escape route for himself and started to flee on a yacht.

Yang Songtao was awakened by Lin Zhijiang's phone call. Lin Zhijiang said briefly that his old nest had been raided and he would definitely come back for revenge. After listening to the phone call, Yang Songtao was so scared that he trembled all over.

"Old Yang, what's wrong? Someone called you so late." Yang Songtao's lover Wang Aiqin asked.

"It's over, everything is over."

Seeing Yang Songtao's distraught look, Wang Aiqin knew that something big had happened. "Old Yang, is there something wrong with the port? You need to stay calm at this time."

"Dongliang Port was raided, and none of us can escape now."

"Old Yang, calm down, or ask what's going on quickly, we need to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible." Wang Aiqin was particularly calm at the critical moment.

That night in Jiangzhou, there were also two people who were destined to suffer from insomnia. One was Li Dayong and the other was Li Wujiang. Li Dayong had drunk some wine and had fallen asleep, but was awakened by the phone call. At this time, he was panicking and didn't know what to do. Li Wujiang and Shen Yuehua drank a lot in the bar and returned to the hotel together until very late. The two were originally dry firewood and hot, and with a little wine, they couldn't be controlled. At the critical moment, Li Wujiang's phone rang. At such a beautiful moment, he didn't want to answer it, but it was a pity that Cheng Zhigang had called. He had a hunch that the action had begun.

Chapter 487 Visiting Huang Heji and Building Dongliang Port

"Mayor Li, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Tonight, the provincial department took unified action to raid the smuggling criminal activities and peripheral sales points in Dongliang Port. So far, we have arrested most of the criminals. It is a pity that their leader Lin Zhijiang escaped from the sea."

"Director Zhigang, you have worked hard. In such a large operation, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net. You still have a lot of work to do next. You must continue to cooperate with the provincial department to speed up the interrogation of these people and dig out the black hands behind the scenes."

After hanging up Cheng Zhigang's phone, Li Wujiang thought a lot. Lin Zhijiang's escape was a pity and a hidden danger, but if he could defeat this smuggling gang and take back Dongliang Port, it would be beneficial to his layout next. At this time, he was already awake. In addition to being excited, he wanted to continue with Shen Yuehua, but he didn't expect that the girl had fallen asleep. Li Wujiang couldn't just take advantage of the situation and fall asleep.

The next morning, Li Wujiang woke up and Shen Yuehua was gone. It seems that this girl also knows how to be shy and went back early in the morning. Li Wujiang also returned to the Binzhou investment promotion group's residence. He specifically glanced at Li Dayong, who looked restless and had dark eyes. It seemed that he did not sleep well last night. Li Wujiang asked everyone to go to the enterprises for field investigation separately, and he took Qu Haibin away.

Li Wujiang had an important job to do when he came to Jiangzhou this time. Before the investment promotion group set off, he contacted Xia Ruohan, hoping to get to know the Huangheji Port Group in Hong Kong through Mr. Xia. Huangheji Port Group is the largest port operator in Hong Kong. Li Wujiang believes that only by introducing such a large group and professional team can Dongliang Port be better developed.

Fortunately, Mr. Xia gave Li Wujiang face and made an appointment with Liao Zonghan, the general manager of Huangheji Port Group, for Li Wujiang. Huangheji Port Group also has business in Jiangzhou. Liao Zonghan has been in Jiangzhou during this period. Li Wujiang decided to visit Liao Zonghan in person at Huangheji Port Group Jiangzhou Company.

"Mayor Haibin, today we are mainly visiting Mr. Liao at the Hutchison Ports Group to discuss the development and construction of Dongliang Port."

Li Wujiang's mention of Dongliang Port made Qu Haibin's heart tremble. The news of Binzhou's action last night has spread, and he doesn't believe that Li Wujiang didn't know about it. He doesn't believe that Li Wujiang didn't know about it in advance. Yesterday, the Jining police cracked down on the illegal criminal gangs smuggling in Dongliang Port, and today Li Wujiang went to visit the Hutchison Ports Group. This is definitely not a coincidence. "Mayor Li, Dongliang Port is a big project. You are going to make a big move in Jining again."

"We are in contact with each other for the first time today. We don't know what the result will be. However, Binzhou is now in a backward stage. We must cast a comprehensive net and focus on fishing. It doesn't matter whether the cat is white or black. If we catch the mouse, it is a black cat. This is the truth. Binzhou is now poor and blank. We can only have a chance of success if we take the initiative and make efforts in many aspects."

"Mayor Li, I heard that there was a big action in Dongliang Port last night. From now on, Dongliang Port will usher in unlimited vitality, which also creates good opportunities for the future development of Dongliang Port." Qu Haibin said carefully.

Li Wujiang did not shy away from the topic. "The unified action of the Provincial Public Security Department shows that there are illegal and criminal acts in Dongliang Port. Since there are, we will resolutely not cover them up. Our Binzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government must create a good business environment for the development of enterprises, which includes a good public security environment and a legal environment."

"Hello, Mr. Liao." Li Wujiang extended his hands enthusiastically. Li Wujiang looked at Mr. Liao again. He was about 40 years old and looked like an elite who had studied abroad. He should be a second-generation figure in Wong Hutchison.

Li Wujiang was looking at Liao Zonghan, and Liao Zonghan was also looking at Li Wujiang. He didn't expect Li Wujiang to be so young. He originally thought that if he could serve as the mayor of a place, he would be at least 40 or 50 years old. "Hello, Mayor Li, welcome to the Huangheji Port Company for inspection and guidance."

"Mr. Liao, it's not about guidance. We are here today to learn from Mr. Liao and deepen the relationship between the two sides."

"Mayor Li is also young and promising. You are the youngest mayor I have ever seen in the mainland. It's amazing."

"Mr. Liao is really flattering. This is also the trust and expectation of the organization. The organization hopes that I will develop and build Binzhou well, but the development of Binzhou cannot be achieved by cadres like us. It also needs the support of patriotic entrepreneurs like Mr. Liao to the mainland."

"At a time when the country is in great development, we, as incense merchants, should do our part for the development of the country. This is also as it should be. I have some understanding of Binzhou City. It has a glorious history in modern history. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it established manufacturing bases such as shipbuilding and petrochemical heavy industry. Mayor Li is so young and can lead such a glorious city. The future is promising. "

"Mr. Liao, it seems that you know a lot about Binzhou City. It's a shame that Binzhou's ancestors created a glorious history for Binzhou, but now Binzhou is backward. We must dare to face this problem, so-called knowing shame and then courage. "

Li Wujiang's words made Liao Zonghan change his view of him. Most of the mainland officials he met boasted about how good their cities were and what preferential policies they had. This Mayor Li, contrary to his usual behavior, dared to admit that Binzhou was backward. "Mayor Li, this is modesty. Every city has its own development characteristics in every historical period. Success or failure cannot be judged by economic development indicators. "

"Mr. Liao, I don't agree with this. "

Li Wujiang's words made Qu Haibin a little worried. Today, Li Wujiang came with him to attract investment, and Li Wujiang began to refute Liao Zonghan.

"Oh, what's Mayor Li's opinion?" Liao Zonghan found Li Wujiang's rebuttal very interesting.

"Although my country has made remarkable achievements in economic and social development since the reform and opening up, in general, my country's basic national conditions are still backward productivity, underdeveloped commodity economy, and low living standards. This basic national condition and major contradictions determine that we must seek truth from facts, focus on economic construction, and vigorously develop social productivity. The successful practice after the reform and opening up also proves that adhering to the basic line of "focusing on economic construction" has enabled my country's economy and society to develop rapidly and people's living standards to improve significantly. Adhering to "focusing on economic construction" is not only about increasing social wealth and strengthening my country's material foundation, but also about meeting people's needs for a better life and constantly realizing the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people."

Chapter 488 Either you overestimate your own capabilities or you are confident

"The world is currently in a stage of great development. In the future, the world will continue to integrate, and the links between countries will continue to deepen. The development of the new era must be high-quality development. The quality of development must be placed in a more prominent position, and efforts must be made to improve the quality and efficiency of development. Development is the greatest security and the foundation and key to solving all problems in our country. Stable economic growth is conducive to preventing various internal and external risk shocks and maintaining the harmony and stability of the overall social situation."

Liao Zonghan studied abroad in the West and is a firm market economy school. He used to look down on the development school in the mainland, believing that the mainland only developed the economy for the sake of developing the economy. Today, through Li Wujiang's words, he realized that officials in the mainland have a deeper understanding of economic development. This understanding requires profound theoretical cultivation to achieve. "Mayor Li, have you studied abroad?"

"General Manager Liao, I have never been abroad since I was a child. But now I can understand all the major events at home and abroad without going abroad."

"Mayor Li is really amazing. He actually has such a brilliant insight into the domestic and international situation."

"It's not brilliant. As General Manager Liao said, each city has its own characteristics of development in each period. At present, all cities in our country have the same goal, that is, to adhere to economic construction as the center and unswervingly seek development. Perhaps in the next stage, we will give development a deeper meaning. For example, development not only represents the economy, but also represents people's living standards and spiritual and cultural activities. This must be promoted with the development of the times. Just like the development of enterprises, I often say to our comrades, that is, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Now the world is undergoing profound changes, and enterprise development is in the best opportunity. Whoever seizes the historical opportunity can advance step by step. If you are not careful, you will be eliminated by the trend of history."

Liao Zonghan is increasingly unable to see through this young mayor. He actually talked about enterprise development in front of him. He is either overestimating his own ability or he is confident.

"Mr. Liao, we are visiting you today mainly to recommend our Dongliang Port to you. Dongliang Port is a good deepwater port in the north. It is wide and deep. It does not freeze in winter. 10,000-ton cargo ships can pass through it unimpeded. It has a superior geographical location and is an important seaport in the Northeast. It is adjacent to Japan and South Korea in the east and the Soviet Union in the north. The port has a long history and a large cargo throughput. It has a broad hinterland, with the three northeastern provinces as its economic hinterland. It is the gateway to the Northeast and the most important comprehensive foreign trade port in the Northeast. In addition, the national, provincial and municipal government policies encourage the obvious advantages. We, Binzhou City, warmly welcome the Wong Hutchison Group to invest and start businesses in our Binzhou."

Liao Zonghan felt that Mayor Li was really bold. If Dongliang Port was a big port before, it was okay. The current Dongliang Port has long fallen behind. "Mayor Li, Dongliang Port does have a long history, but as far as I know, the development of Dongliang Port has lagged behind in recent years. It is difficult to support the development of Dongliang Port by relying solely on Binzhou's economic conditions."

"Mr. Liao, I agree with this. If only Binzhou or Jining is relied on now, it is completely unable to support the future development of Dongliang Port. But just like Jiangzhou, who would have thought that a small fishing village 20 years ago could now develop into an international metropolis. my country's economy is developing at a high speed. Dongliang Port has the three northeastern provinces as its economic hinterland. The current layout is to create opportunities for the future."

Li Wujiang's words that the current layout is to create opportunities for the future deeply touched Liao Zonghan. As an entrepreneur, you must have a long-term strategic vision to win future development opportunities for the development of the enterprise. "Just now Mayor Li mentioned that there will be some policies at the national level to support the development of Dongliang Port. I would like to hear what specific policies are there?"

"Binzhou has proposed to build a national free trade port, establish the country's largest shipbuilding base, the country's largest petrochemical equipment base, and the country's largest grain transshipment base. In addition, we in Binzhou are striving for a 10 billion-level refining and chemical integration project."

"Oh, Binzhou is striving for a refining and chemical integration project? This project is not a small project." As the boss of port development and construction, Huang Heji, Liao Zonghan has a deep understanding of the ports in the mainland, including Dongliang Port. Dongliang Port is backed by the three northeastern provinces and connected to Japan, South Korea and other countries. If the layout is good, it is indeed a good move.

"Our Binzhou City has submitted an application to the Beijing Development and Reform Commission, and the Jining Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government also fully support us in striving for this project. I believe that as long as Binzhou people work hard, this project will definitely be settled in Binzhou."

Looking at Li Wujiang's confident face, Liao Zonghan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. However, his biggest problem now is the smuggling problem in Dongliang Port. If this problem is not solved, it is impossible to develop and build Dongliang Port. "Mayor Li, I heard that the current business environment of Dongliang Port is not very good."

"Boss Liao, I know what you are worried about. Smuggling in Dongliang Port was originally a scandal in Binzhou. Other leaders are taboo about it, but I, Li Wujiang, am not. Dongliang Port is the key to Binzhou's development. Since Dongliang Port is to be developed, a good environment must be created for the development of Dongliang Port. However, the problem that Boss Liao is worried about is no longer a problem. Last night, the Public Security Department of Jining Province took unified action and destroyed the illegal smuggling gang in Dongliang Port in one fell swoop. The sky of Dongliang Port is clear now."

Qu Haibin felt that Li Wujiang was waiting for this moment. The destruction of the illegal smuggling gang in Dongliang Port meant that Li Wujiang's development plan would be gradually implemented.

Liao Zonghan did not expect Li Wujiang to tell him such a news. This news shocked him and made him see the courage and action of this young mayor. "Okay, Mayor Li, you let me see the future of Dongliang Port. We Huang Heji look forward to cooperating with Binzhou."

After finishing the trip to Jiangzhou, Li Wujiang led the team to return to Jining quickly. After all, such a big thing happened in Binzhou. From the province to the city, people called him one after another. If he didn't go back, the sky in Binzhou would fall.

There is no direct flight from Jiangzhou to Binzhou, so it can only land in Jiyang. Li Wujiang did not return to Binzhou with the investment promotion team, but stayed in Jiyang.

"Sister Ma, thank you for your hard work."

"Wujiang, this is our job, it's not hard." Ma Fuxian is definitely a workaholic, and he will be very excited when there is a big case to handle.

"Is there any progress in the case now?"

"That night we arrested more than 100 criminals. This is the largest smuggling case handled by our province since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Unfortunately, the criminal leader Lin Zhijiang escaped. The criminals arrested so far have confessed to the smuggling crime, but some gang members are very stubborn. We are currently digging deep into the umbrella behind the scenes."

Chapter 489 Generals and ministers are in harmony, the backbone

"Then thank you for your hard work, Sister Ma."

"You are too polite. But you have to be careful recently. I am worried that Lin Zhijiang will retaliate against you. I suggest you take some safety precautions recently."

"That's just right. If he dares to come back, I will catch him, and Sister Ma will have no regrets."

Li Wujiang came out of the Public Security Bureau and went straight to Li Weiguo's office. He planned to report the results of this investment promotion to Li Weiguo.

"Wujiang, you are smiling. You must have gained a lot from this investment promotion." Li Weiguo looked at his capable general, running around and working hard. It seems that he did not make a mistake.

Li Wujiang briefly reported the situation of this investment promotion to Li Weiguo.

"Wujiang, you have one surprise after another. It is a great thing that Jiangzhou Communication Company can invest and build a factory in our Jining. I will definitely go to Binzhou to attend the groundbreaking ceremony in person. Jiangzhou Communication Company is currently the largest mobile phone manufacturer in my country. This is a high-end industry. Its arrival can drive the development of our Jining electronic industry and high-end industry. Good, good, good." Li Weiguo said three good things in a row. "It is also a good thing that Huang Heji Port Group can participate in the development and construction of Dongliang Port. No wonder you encouraged the provincial party committee to crack down on smuggling activities. It seems that you have planned it in advance."

Li Wujiang chuckled and said, "Secretary Li, this is what you said to create a good environment for local development. But if Binzhou wants to introduce Huang Hutchison Company, we still need to build some companies. At least we must ask the capital to establish the Binzhou Free Trade Port." This substantive policy can promote Hutchison’s investment.”

"Don't worry about this. It's more difficult to ask for funds from the capital now, but there are still ways to get policies. I happen to be in the capital in the next two days to report this matter to the leaders in person. Then you and I will go to the capital together. Just now Your suggestion of establishing a sister city with Jiangzhou is very good. It can not only strengthen talent exchanges, but also realize industrial transfer. I will communicate with Secretary Tang of Guangxia Province about this matter. Of course, you can take the initiative to discuss the issue of talent exchanges. Minister Mu and Minister Guohua communicated.”

"Secretary Li, if you want to go to the capital to implement policies, ask Secretary Ge to accompany you." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

Li Weiguo glanced at Li Wujiang one more time, making Li Wujiang feel a little embarrassed. "Secretary Li, you also know that a major selfish case just occurred in Binzhou, and Secretary Ge is under a lot of pressure in Binzhou. As a new comrade, I can't let the leaders bear all the pressure. It just so happens that I have to go back to Binzhou to do a good job for Jiangzhou enterprises on the ground. inspection work.”

"Okay, Wujiang, I'm very pleased that you can say that. It shows that you are mature."

That night, Li Weiguo personally entertained Li Wujiang at home, which was a great honor for ordinary cadres.

Li Wujiang did not stay in Jiyang and rushed back to Binzhou the next day. Li Wujiang was called to the office by Ge Jiande as soon as he arrived.

"Mayor Wujiang, I heard that you have gained a lot from attracting investment in Jiangzhou. You are really a blessing to our Binzhou." Ge Jiande heard that Li Wujiang was personally received by the Standing Committee of the Guangxia Provincial Committee and the Secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Committee in Jiangzhou. He was really I envy this boy. If it were other cadres in Jining, they would definitely not have this kind of treatment. Only Li Wujiang could enjoy himself everywhere.

"Secretary Ge, this is all thanks to you. You planned well in advance. We can be like a fish in water when we arrive in Jiangzhou. This time Binzhou has made great achievements in electronic information, mechanical equipment, tourism, etc. We must plan the next step as soon as possible. The work of the investment team’s on-site inspection.”

"Okay, Wujiang. This is the largest investment promotion achievement in the history of Binzhou City, and it is worth celebrating. But you also know about the illegal smuggling incident in Dongliang Port. This incident has a very bad impact. The leaders of the provincial party committee are very angry. I am worried about Dongliang Port. The incident will have a negative impact on investment inspections.”

"Secretary Ge, I don't think so. The crackdown on illegal smuggling gangs in Dongliang Port shows our determination to create a good business environment in Jining and Binzhou, and also shows our confidence in relying on Dongliang Port to develop. We will use this opportunity to This time we are cracking down on illegal and criminal activities and increasing publicity to promote our new image and new atmosphere in Binzhou. This time I visited Wong Hutchison Port Group. Mr. Liao was very worried about the smuggling situation in our Dongliang Port. Fortunately, we This gang was eliminated in advance. Therefore, we have learned more clearly that only by creating a good public security environment, a legal environment, and a fair environment for the development of entrepreneurs can we attract people to invest and build factories in Binzhou."

Ge Jiande has to admire his long-term vision, take one step and see two steps. It seems that the young mayor has already planned this. "Wujiang, since you say so, then I will unswervingly support you in your development."

"Secretary Ge, you are our backbone, how can you be behind the scenes? Only if you stand in front of the stage and shake the drum and shout, can we be confident behind the scenes. Last time I reported to you about Binzhou's creation of a national free trade port, Li The secretary expressed his support. I heard that you will be arranged to accompany him to the capital to report to the relevant leaders in the near future. In addition, we will also negotiate to establish a sister city with Jiangzhou. "

Ge Jiande had to take a high look at Li Wujiang. It seemed that Li Wujiang was quite sensible. He left all the publicity matters to himself, and was not as arrogant and domineering as the external rumors said. This is a good sign. As long as Li Wujiang stays within the circle, he will respect Li Wujiang's decision. After all, Li Wujiang's backstage is not something he can mess with. "Wujiang, you are going one after another, and my old heart can't bear it. Now it seems that the world is really dominated by you young people. Wujiang, I'm worried that Binzhou will be involved behind this Dongliang Port incident. A large number of cadres will affect the confidence of Binzhou cadres in their development.”

"As state cadres, we must accept the supervision of the people. We will not use cadres who cannot devote themselves to development. We cannot let the people poke our spines. Since there is a huge pustule behind Dongliang Port, we must squeeze it out early. We cannot Let this disadvantage affect Binzhou’s future development.”

Ge Jiande saw that Li Wujiang had made up his mind, so he had no objection. After all, the leader of Jining Province stands behind Li Wujiang, and he cannot shake him. This is called a hero who understands current affairs. Ge Jiande's greatest advantage is that he can recognize the reality clearly and stand on the right team.

Since the investigation of Dongliang Port, Yang Songtao and Pei Ruhai have been in a state of panic, worrying that they will eventually be found guilty.

"Secretary Yang, the trend in Binzhou has changed recently." Pei Ruhai said worriedly.

Chapter 490: Staying unchanged in response to all changes, great things happen

"Old Pei, we must remain unchanged for the time being, and we must also take the initiative to act. Cooperate with the municipal party committee and government to develop and build well." Although Yang Songtao was not calm in his heart, he still tried to be calm at this time. Having been in the position of the Political and Legal Committee for so many years, he has also experienced many ups and downs. He knows that this is not the time to lose his composure. He must stabilize the situation, otherwise there will be no chance of turning the tables.

"Should we just give up like this? That guy is not a good person, and he is even a guy who eats people without spitting out bones. If they are allowed to investigate, I believe that sooner or later we old guys will be found out."

"Currently, the investigation is about illegal smuggling in Dongliang Port. Lin Zhijiang has not been arrested yet. We still have a glimmer of hope. The key at the moment is Li Dayong of Dongliang. He can't run away. Dongliang Port has such a big thing, and he, as the county party secretary, cannot be without any responsibility. The most important thing is that he knows too much. If he is still alive and taken away, we really have no chance."
