The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Then should we give up the investment and construction of Dongliang Port? Mr. Liao, although Binzhou cannot obtain the approval of the free trade port, the investment and development of Dongliang Port is still valuable. I heard that Jiangzhou brought a large number of enterprises this time, which will drive the future development of Binzhou."

"Ouyang, when doing business in the mainland, the key is to understand the spirit of the superior policy. The policy is very guiding, and the dividends of the policy are also beneficial to the development of the local area and enterprises. Once a place loses the support of the policy, the development of this place will not last long. So we have to understand the above policies and see the specific attitude of the superiors towards Binzhou City." Liao Zonghan saw that Ouyang Wenjing was still speaking for Binzhou, so he stopped her.

Li Wujiang received a call from Ouyang Wenjing while he was checking the progress of the project on the construction site. Ouyang Wenjing got straight to the point and asked Li Wujiang if the news was true. Li Wujiang was very surprised to hear the news from Ouyang Wenjing. At this time, he thought of Ma Deming's reminder to him. I didn't expect the impact to be so great, and it really affected the development of Binzhou because of me. At this time, he had nothing to tell Ouyang Wenjing, but just said that whether the superiors had policies or not, Binzhou also needed to develop. Binzhou would not stagnate in development because of waiting for policies.

At this time, Ouyang Wenjing called him, it must be because of the superiors' policies that affected the decision of Huang Heji Company to invest. Li Wujiang explained to Ouyang Wenjing from many aspects Binzhou's determination to develop Dongliang Port, hoping that he could bring his ideas to Liao Zonghan.

Ji Zhongyu was next to Li Wujiang. He saw that Li Wujiang looked serious after answering the phone, and knew that something big must have happened. Although he had not been with Li Wujiang for a long time, he summed up a rule. Li Wujiang was quite generous. He usually smiled at people at work. Once his face was serious, it meant that Li Wujiang had encountered something.

Li Wujiang hurriedly finished the investigation, returned to the office, and called Du Zongxian directly.

Du Zongxian picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Wujiang. He smiled bitterly, but he still answered the phone quickly. "Mayor Wujiang, have you returned to Beijing? How come you have time to call me?"

"Director Du, I don't come to you for no reason. I need to consult you about something." Li Wujiang did not directly say that he knew about the decision of the superiors to postpone the approval of Binzhou Port as a free trade port, but asked about the current progress. Li Wujiang originally had many ways, and he could even call Lu Donghui directly, but there was no room for maneuver. He wanted to understand the cause and effect of the matter before deciding what to do next.

"Mayor Wujiang, I won't lie in front of you. I also heard that the people above have opinions on Binzhou's construction of a free trade port, and believe that Binzhou's economy does not have such strength at all, and asked to put it aside for the time being." Du Zongxian was telling the truth. The Development and Reform Commission could not make the final decision on this matter, and the bigwigs above expressed their opinions on this matter.

"Director Du, do you think there is room for maneuver in this matter?"

"Wujiang, you also know that I have not been in Beijing for a long time, and I can't say a lot of things. I can't help even if I want to. But this matter is not easy to handle after being handed down from above." Du Zongxian could only say so much.

After figuring out the whole story, Li Wujiang sat down quietly. What to do next has become the key to Binzhou's future development. Now many investors are rushing to Binzhou to invest and build factories based on Binzhou's policy of building a free trade port. At present, the superiors have temporarily suspended the approval of Binzhou's construction of a free trade port. It is hard to say what impact this will have on subsequent investment and construction. Thinking of this, Li Wujiang had a headache. He had no one to discuss such a big thing. However, he still needed to communicate with Ge Jiande about matters related to Binzhou's development.

"Wujiang, are you serious?" Ge Jiande was shocked when he heard the news. Seeing Li Wujiang nodded heavily, Ge Jiande smiled bitterly. Binzhou is now in a critical period of development. Once such news spreads, it will be detrimental to Binzhou's subsequent construction and development.

"Wujiang, what do you think we should do in the next stage?" Ge Jiande had no good ideas at this time, and still placed his hopes on Li Wujiang.

"Secretary Ge, to be honest, I was very depressed when I heard the news. We have done a lot of work, but ended up in such a passive situation. Now I am also very discouraged."

It was the first time that Ge Jiande saw Li Wujiang so depressed. No matter how difficult the work was, Li Wujiang could handle it. This was the opinion of the leaders above, and it was a big blow to him personally. Now he can only comfort Li Wujiang. "Wujiang, you are the backbone of our Binzhou economic development. You can't fall down at this time. We can discuss and solve problems together. You have a broad mind and a lively brain. I believe that there are solutions to everything. Without policies, our Binzhou can also rely on its own self-reliance."

Li Wujiang was not really discouraged, but hoped to pass on pressure to Ge Jiande. Binzhou is so big that it can't rely on itself. "Secretary Ge, you are right. During the period of great construction, our Jining was poor and blank. Our ancestors relied on their own hands to build a heavy industrial base and built Jining into a hotbed of development. It is at this time that we should carry forward the self-reliance and hard work of the people of Jining."

"Okay, Wujiang, you said it very well. I will arrange for the propaganda department to vigorously promote the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, dig deep into relevant typical deeds, and organize a propaganda team to preach in various districts and counties. We must drive local development with spiritual power."

Chapter 527 Some people make trouble, some people die

"Secretary Ge, the most urgent thing is that I think we need to start from two aspects. On the one hand, I will go to Beijing to find out the situation and see if we can continue to promote related work; on the other hand, we in Binzhou must vigorously create a good business environment and introduce more preferential policies and service measures to make these entrepreneurs who come to invest feel like they are home."

"I agree with these two points. You should hurry to Beijing to understand the situation. I will discuss and solve the Binzhou issue with all the standing committee members."

"Secretary Yang, Mayor Li is going to have a headache now. He boasted a lot and now he can't take it back." Pei Ruhai said with a smile.

"This is a manifestation of lack of grassroots work experience. I thought everything would go smoothly and that I could handle everything with my backers. If something goes wrong at this time, I will have to bear the bitter fruit of my own actions."

"Yes, if this news gets out, it will be very explosive. Instead of becoming a hero of Binzhou, I have become a sinner of Binzhou."

"Not a sinner, he is still young, maybe he can still make a comeback in another place." At the last Standing Committee meeting, Li Wujiang spoke for Yang Songtao, and Yang Songtao did not want to offend Li Wujiang at this time.

"Secretary Yang, do you think we need to add fuel to the fire? The more chaotic Binzhou is at this time, the more beneficial it may be for us."

"Let's wait and see, maybe some people are more anxious than us, and they are more willing to help Mayor Li leave Binzhou as soon as possible at this time."

Lu Wannian has opinions about Li Wujiang. Although the two sides rarely deal with each other, they always see each other. Li Wujiang offended him during the last personnel adjustment. Although Li Wujiang explained the reason, it still couldn't make him calm down.

"Secretary Lu, this is a good opportunity." Li Jianwei was the candidate who failed the last time. He had a good relationship with Lu Wannian, so he could get Lu Wannian's support. But in the end, he was defeated by Li Wujiang, which made him angry.

"Jianwei, this is also a disaster for Binzhou. Let's not exaggerate."

"Secretary Lu, I think we should look further ahead. If Li Wujiang can fail in this matter this time, the mayor of Binzhou will be yours."

This sentence made Lu Wannian's heart move. "Jianwei, you say this is unrealistic. How can such a big thing shake the position of Mayor Li? He has someone behind him."

"This matter can be big or small. The big one is to compile and spread false policy information, seriously interfere with market development, and destroy the business environment. Each of these is enough for our Mayor Li to drink a pot."

"Even if Mayor Li is gone, people like Yang Songtao and Pei Ruhai are eyeing the position of mayor." Lu Wannian didn't have a good impression of these two people, so he called them by their names.

"Others don't know who these two are, and we old staff don't know who they are. They know how much they are involved in the smuggling activities in Dongliang Port. They shouldn't think that they can get away with it after investigating and punishing the illegal activities in Dongliang Port. Maybe the higher-ups have been eyeing them for a long time." Li Jianwei said confidently, as if he knew something.

"Okay, Jianwei, we won't talk about them. You can handle the specifics, but be careful about everything."

Li Wujiang originally planned to report this matter to Li Weiguo, but he hasn't figured out the whole story yet. At this time, it is a taboo to report to the leader in a hurry. So he flew directly to Beijing after arriving in Jiyang.

As soon as Li Wujiang left, the news that Binzhou's application for the national free port project was suspended was a hot topic in Binzhou. Many investors directly called the municipal party committee, municipal government, and project special team leaders at all levels. Of course, Li Wujiang also received a call from Wang Jianhua when he arrived in Beijing.

Wang Jianhua just kindly reminded Li Wujiang to be careful of someone using shady tricks behind his back. Li Wujiang assured him that this little thing would not be difficult for him. However, he hoped that Wang Jianhua would work harder at this time and promote the construction of the project as soon as possible, so as to set an example for everyone. This is certainly not a problem for Wang Jianhua. Not only will he take the lead, but he will also call on other companies to continue to speed up the progress of the project.

This was the first time that Ji Zhongyu followed Li Wujiang to Beijing. He was still a little unfamiliar with the capital. However, this time it was an office matter. Li Wujiang asked Ji Zhongyu to contact Zhang Shengqi, director of Binzhou's Beijing Office, to pick him up at the airport.

After arriving in Beijing, Li Wujiang did not go home, but lived in the Beijing Office. He also contacted Lu Donghui as soon as possible. Nothing was said on the phone. Lu Donghui told Li Wujiang an address and asked him to wait there.

Ji Zhongyu was fortunate to follow Li Wujiang, but he did not enter the room. However, the old man in front of him shocked him. This was an upper-class figure in Beijing, and not everyone could see him if they wanted to.

Lu Donghui looked at Li Wujiang in front of him, thinking that this kid would be furious after hearing the news. He had already done a good job of comforting him, but he didn't expect that this kid was still calm in front of him.

"Director Lu, have some tea. This is the West Lake Longjing I ordered for you."

"Okay, you know how to taste it, but drinking tea is about state of mind. You can't taste good tea without a calm mind."

Lv Donghui's words were meaningful, reminding Li Wujiang that he should be calmer at this time. "What Director Lu said is true, but I also have some insights on the tea ceremony, please correct me. Tea drinkers talk about the realm, but if you want to drink good tea, you also need a master who can make good tea and an environment that produces good tea. It is not in line with philosophical thinking to only focus on yourself and not consider the outside world."

Lv Donghui smiled and said, "You kid is cunning. I know the purpose of your visit to Beijing to see me this time. I can only say that many things need to wait for an opportunity. Don't be anxious, don't just look at the present, and don't be disturbed by others. I think the time to come will eventually come."

"I like to seize the day in everything. Waiting blindly will make us miss many good opportunities. Time is running out. We have already started at full speed and cannot stop at this time."

Lv Donghui admired Li Wujiang's work enthusiasm, but some things were not decided by him. "Wujiang, your work enthusiasm and spirit are worth learning from, but everything is easy to break if it is too rigid. We can have many detours in our work. The problem of Binzhou Port cannot be solved at present, but it may be solved at a certain stage. Don't be confused by the difficulties in front of you. You are you, and your work is obvious to all of us."

Chapter 528 Only after experiencing great storms can you get the sweetness after suffering

After hearing what Lv Donghui said, Li Wujiang knew that it was impossible to solve the problem of Dongliang Port in a short time. It seems that he has to change his mind. "Director Lv, thank you for your guidance and thank you for your support all the way. Without your support over the years, I would not be in this position now."

Lv Donghui looked at Li Wujiang's sentimental speech and knew what this kid had in mind. However, this kid encountered difficulties at this time, and he took care of him within the scope of his care.

"Director Lv, our Binzhou is now ushering in a stage of large investment and construction, especially the projects of the Jiangzhou Investment Group have been started one after another. The people of Binzhou welcome you to Binzhou to guide and inspect the work."

Lv Donghui understood what Li Wujiang meant, which was to let him stand on the platform. This is a big risk for Lv Donghui. After all, Li Wujiang is from the old Fang family. The suspension of approval for Binzhou Port this time is the result of the struggle at the top. If he comes forward at this time, it will cause unnecessary speculation. However, Li Wujiang has grown up under his watch. Even if there are obstacles ahead, his future prospects are limitless.

"Wujiang, I will carefully consider what you said."

Li Wujiang is very satisfied to get such an answer. After all, this involves the struggle above. Lv Donghui is also very embarrassed. He originally wanted to mention the refining and chemical integration project, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Wujiang, although the approval procedures for Binzhou Port have been suspended, your Binzhou Port construction issues can continue to advance. The refining and chemical integration project, the committee has included you as the subject of investigation, and you need to continue to do the relevant work in the next step." Lv Donghui is also doing his best to create opportunities for Li Wujiang.

Li Wujiang is also a wise man. He knows how good Lv Donghui is to him and thanks him.

Next, Li Wujiang met Du Zongxian, Zhao Qianlong, Yan Lao's secretary, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant ministries and commissions in the Beijing Office, hoping that they could convey his ideas to the upper-level leaders. Li Wujiang arranged for the Beijing Office to send these people a gift from Binzhou.

The last person Li Wujiang met was Mu Liancheng, and he wanted Mu Liancheng to give him some advice.

"Wujiang, don't be depressed or anxious. The more you are at this time, the more you need to be calm and composed. This is the time to distinguish between good and bad people. You are you. Your achievements and abilities over the years are obvious to all. People who trust you will always stand behind you. Maybe without you waving, everyone will focus on you and move closer to you." Mu Liancheng knew that it would be useless to say anything to enlighten him at this time, but he believed that Li Wujiang would definitely listen.

"Minister Mu, I'm not worried about myself, but I'm worried about affecting my work. Even if I'm not allowed to work, I'm willing to do it as long as Binzhou can continue to develop and people's lives can be improved. It's not easy for the people in our country, and the current development opportunities are rare. Only if we focus on development and people's livelihood, will there be hope for the future development of our country."

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of the leaders above. Don't lose confidence in the leaders because of a failure. The road to development is tortuous and not smooth. Only after experiencing big winds and waves can we get through the hardships and reap the rewards. In addition, our country is large and there are many places that need to be taken care of. Therefore, when we develop, we need to take into account and balance the distribution. It is impossible to change it according to the will of that person. Our country is looking for a road of development that belongs to us. There is no reference for this road before, which requires practice to prove, so you have to be patient enough and give our country more time." If it were someone else, Mu Liancheng would not say so much.

Li Wujiang's heart suddenly became clear at this time. He was an experienced person and had a better understanding of the future road. He hoped that the country could take the right road and not take the wrong road. But not everyone in this society knows as much about the future as I do. It seems that I really need to give this country more time. "Thank you, Minister Mu. Your words have made me feel much more open-minded. I was too anxious. No matter what, I will continue to take steady steps in the future and promote the development and construction of Binzhou."

"Wujiang, the ministry has received your application from Jining. Regarding the pilot project of talent exchange between Binzhou and Jiangzhou, this idea must have come from you. It is a very good idea. The idea you proposed in Huayuan earlier can be The exchange system has solved the problem of communication between superior cadres and lower-level cadres. Now this plan solves the problem of talent gap between developed and underdeveloped areas. On the one hand, it trains cadres in underdeveloped areas in a practical way, and on the other hand, it promotes the development of developed areas. High-quality talents will be sent to underdeveloped areas to help these areas achieve development. The ministry has approved your Jining plan and made your Binzhou a pilot city. You should organize and implement it as soon as possible. The ministry will arrange personnel to conduct research in your Binzhou in the near future. "

Mu Liancheng was sending a big gift to Li Wujiang. The fact that the organization department could go to Binzhou for investigation represented recognition of him. Li Wujiang quickly thanked him.

After opening his heart, Li Wujiang did not rush back to Binzhou, but stayed in the capital for a few more days. On the one hand, he wanted to spend time with his children at home, and on the other hand, he also hoped that some clowns in Binzhou would come out to their heart's content. In the past two days, he had received calls from Binzhou one after another in the capital. Many leaders of the municipal party committee complained that Li Wujiang had made such nonsense, which had led to major difficulties in attracting investment and project construction.

"Secretary Ge, we need to think of a way now. The municipal party committee will come forward to clarify or hold discussions with some investors to stabilize these people."

Ge Jiande did not expect that when the news spread, people from all over came to him to inquire about the news, including not only entrepreneurs, but also leading cadres of the city, and leaders of the provincial party committee. At this time, he was very embarrassed, but the instigator Li Wujiang was not in Binzhou, and the other municipal committee members were in a state that had nothing to do with him. He really wanted to call Li Wujiang back now. However, he knew that Li Wujiang still needed to do work in the capital at this time. Only if the work was completed, the rumors would be disproven.

"Secretary Wannian, we have nothing to do with what others say. However, we are all members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and first-level leaders of Binzhou City. We have the obligation and responsibility to explain and appease various investors. Tell everyone that we will continue to promote Regardless of whether Dongliang Port’s application for a national free trade port is approved or not, our Binzhou City’s determination to develop the economy has not changed as always.”

Chapter 529 The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn’t stop

"Secretary Ge, I have told everyone these things. However, when everyone came to Binzhou to invest and develop, they all came for the construction of Dongliang Port. Now the authorities suddenly stopped the approval process, which caught many investors off guard. They said that our Binzhou City This behavior is a kind of fraud, and we must ask for an explanation from the municipal party committee and the city government. Secretary Ge, please ask Mayor Wujiang to come out and explain to everyone earlier. Maybe this matter will be resolved." Lu Wannian still looked kind. said.

Ge Jiande suddenly cheered up at this time. As the leader, he certainly hopes that his subordinates can fight with each other, so that he can better play his role and balance power. But at this critical moment, some people are still deliberately causing trouble for their own selfish interests, which he cannot tolerate. After all, he is the top leader in Binzhou City. When something happens in Binzhou, he is the first to be punished. He could tell that since the last personnel adjustment, Lu Wannian had some opinions on Li Wujiang, and he took the opportunity to use this opportunity. "Wujiang is coordinating this matter. We will hold a meeting to study the specific progress after he comes back. At this stage, I hope that Secretary Wan Nian will inform cadres at all levels that everyone should unify their thoughts, work together, and be united as one. Don't be cunning or start anew. Don’t create unnecessary complications, and do a good job of explaining and appeasing me. If anyone slips up at this time, I’m sorry, they will be dealt with according to the law.”

Of course Lu Wannian understood the meaning of Ge Jiande's warning, and then left in despair.

"Secretary Li, Wujiang is in a whirlpool now. Do we, the provincial party committee, need to step forward?" Cao Minglou said cautiously. He believed that Li Weiguo was very concerned about Li Wujiang's affairs.

"The trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. If this kid can't withstand such strong winds and waves, how will he be able to walk in the future?"

"After all, Wujiang is still young. I'm worried that if he stumbles, he will be unable to recover."

"That means I've misjudged him. As the old saying goes, if a big task comes from the sky, it must first strain its mind, strain its muscles and bones, starve its skin, deplete its body, and mess up its actions. If he wants to achieve great things, these difficulties He still has to get through it on his own. "Li Weiguo is certainly aware of the struggle at the top. Now the top management is just suspending the approval, not denying it, so there is room for relaxation. As the mayor, Li Wujiang can argue with reason. As the leader of a province, he knows his responsibilities better. But now that he is in a high position, he needs to be more careful. He also communicated with the leaders in Beijing, and the upper-level leaders told him to wait patiently and operate in a down-to-earth manner. That is to say, the road is not blocked from above, and there is still a hole, so it depends on how to break it. This hope was pinned on Li Wujiang.

"Minglou, the capital has suspended the approval of the Dongliang Port upgrade. We in Jining can still continue to support the construction of Binzhou. In the previous stage, the provincial party committee and the provincial government issued work to support the development and construction of Dongliang Port. You urge all departments to implement relevant policies as soon as possible. "

"Okay, Secretary Li." Cao Minglou knew what Li Weiguo was thinking. If the higher-ups didn't support it, then Ji Ning could.

"Wujiang, I've made you feel wronged."

"Shuxin, my wife, how can you say such things? We are a family, you are too polite to say such things."

"I didn't expect that this wave of impact from the Fang family would hit you first."

"Shuxin, you think too much. Even if it wasn't the Fang family, even if it wasn't this time, there would be other things. You see when your husband was scared by such things. This matter is not difficult for me." Li Wujiang comforted Fang Shuxin instead.

"My man can't be wronged like this. They want to target you, and I won't let them succeed." Fang Shuxin showed her domineering spirit to protect her husband at this time.

"Mr. Zhou, this is enough for Li Wujiang to eat a pot." Zheng Xiaohu said.

"This Li Wujiang always opposes me. This time, let him taste the power of our Zhou family. I want to tell him that he is nothing without the Fang family." Zhou Changyuan thought he had finally let out a breath of anger. This time, Dongliang Port was not approved because the big boss of the Zhou family blocked it. After all, the big boss of the Zhou family is a giant, and his words are shocking.
