The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Okay, I feel relieved after hearing your words. However, Wujiang's biggest difficulty at present is the development and construction of Dongliang Port. I learned before that Huang Heji Port Group intends to invest in Dongliang Port, but the news that the port approval has been suspended has shaken their confidence in investment. Let's discuss whether our company can set up a port construction company to participate in the development and construction of Dongliang Port." Li Na and Li Wujiang grew up together, and their relationship is no joke. At this time, Li Wujiang is in the most difficult time, and she wants to help in every way.

"Port construction is more professional, and it is not possible to participate in the operation by setting up a company. Leave this matter to me. Our family has some connection with Huang Heji Company. I will personally coordinate this matter, and it should not be a big problem." Xia Ruohan grew up with Liao Zonghan's ass, and Liao Zonghan still had some feelings for her, but as the two grew up, this relationship faded, but the friendship remained.

"Okay, you should have told me earlier that you have this relationship. Wujiang is in a dilemma. I'll leave this to you. But don't commit yourself to me. If Wujiang knows about this, he will be furious." Li Na said jokingly.

Xia Ruohan stretched out her hand to tear Li Na's face. The two sisters have never been so lively since they left Huayuan.

"Mayor Deng, the development of these enterprises in our Liuhe County cannot be separated from the help of Mayor Li. We should help Mayor Li at this time." Chang Yafei still attaches great importance to the relationship with Li Wujiang.

"Yafei, you are right. When you drink water, you should remember the well digger. The people of our Liuhe County cannot forget the great kindness of Mayor Li. You should mobilize the enterprises in our county. If they are willing to develop in Binzhou, our Liuhe County will strongly support them and give them tax concessions." Deng Dahai certainly knows how to repay kindness. Without Li Wujiang, he would not be in his current position.

"Jiahe, you've been in Tianjin for a while. How's your work?"

"Secretary Huang, I realized the gap between Jining and Tianjin only after I arrived in Tianjin. I'm learning and working at the same time."

"Great, our cadres should have your spirit and enthusiasm, so we can do our work well. But you Jining also has such good cadres."

Tang Jiahe certainly knew who Huang Weimin was talking about. He heard that Li Wujiang and Huang Weimin had a good relationship, and he was able to come to Tianjin thanks to him. "Yes, Wujiang is a young and promising cadre. He not only has ideas for work, but also has the courage to take risks. He is now working in Binzhou, across the sea from us in Tianjin. With future development, we may be able to promote each other."

"You are right. Since there is such a possibility, you might as well arrange an inspection team to Binzhou to strive for the two places to strengthen cooperation, which is also conducive to common development."

Tang Jiahe was very sad that a provincial governor could come forward for Li Wujiang. He didn't know whether to say that this kid was lucky or that this kid was capable.

"Hongwei, how is the development of our coal enterprises in Xishan this year?"

"Secretary Fang, our country's economy has been developing vigorously in recent years, and the demand for coal is increasing rapidly. However, the distribution of coal resources in our country is uneven. Coal resources are sufficient in the north, but relatively scarce in the south. In recent years, the transportation capacity has affected the development of our Xishan coal. At the same time, the overseas market has a great demand for coal, and transportation has restricted our development." Fang Hongwei, the secretary of the Nandu Municipal Party Committee at that time, is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and vice governor of Xishan Province. However, he was still cautious in front of Fang Zhiguo.

"Oh, do you have any good way to solve this problem?"

"To solve this problem, we need to open up both land and sea routes. On the one hand, we hope that the national level will speed up the layout of the north-south railway artery; on the other hand, we will transport our coal resources through the sea channel."

"Okay, now that we have found the crux of the problem, we will have to find a way to overcome the difficulties. I have reported the railway artery to the leaders of the relevant ministries and commissions of the state, and the relevant departments have put it on the agenda. What do you think about the sea channel?"

Chapter 533 The wind and clouds are moving, and all parties are gathering

"If we want to open up the sea channel, we must rely on the nearest port to realize the transportation of coal from the north to the south and increase overseas exports." At this point, Fang Hongwei suddenly woke up. He is close to the Fang family, and he also knows the situation that the Fang family has encountered recently. Especially when Li Wujiang encountered difficulties in developing Binzhou Port, Fang Zhiguo emphasized the sea channel at this time, which must have a purpose. "Our next step is to organize relevant enterprises to conduct inspections in coastal port cities and take the initiative to open up our sea channel."

"Okay, if you have an idea, you must be bold to do it." Fang Zhiguo is blatantly supporting Li Wujiang. After Master Fang passed away, the Fang family was hit very quickly. Although Fang Zhiguo was prepared, it still made Fang Zhiguo feel a little uncomfortable that it came so quickly. However, he has now reached a high position, and no matter how big the changes are, they will have no effect on him. What he needs to consider now is Li Wujiang. Li Wujiang is the hope of their old Fang family, and he will go a longer way than him in the future. The impact on Li Wujiang now makes him intolerable, and he now needs to mobilize all his strength to protect Li Wujiang.

"Ruohan, I couldn't invite you before, why did you become a lobbyist in person today? This is not easy." Liao Zonghan was very surprised. He had invited Xia Ruohan many times before but failed, but this time he took the initiative to come to the door.

"Brother Zonghan, your work is very busy every day, and I don't want to cause trouble for you."

"If you come, I am always available and welcome you to come. You and Mayor Li still have a relationship. How could he invite you to come over and be a lobbyist?"

"You are wrong. Wujiang will not let me be a lobbyist. This is a big gift from me."

Xia Ruohan called Li Wujiang by his first name, which made Liao Zonghan understand that the relationship between the two was very close, and it could not be explained by simple acquaintance. "Oh, I want to hear your explanation. Why investing in Binzhou is a big gift package for me."

"There is no doubt about Wujiang's ability. As long as he says it, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. He said that Binzhou can give you Hutchison Port Group an opportunity to base itself on the domestic market in the future, and it will definitely come true."

"Ruohan, you are blindly worshiping. This is not the rationality that an entrepreneur should have. I believe that Changting Group can become so big, and it cannot be realized just by making wishes." Liao Zonghan still admires Xia Ruohan. This girl who had grown up with him since childhood, the company in her hands has completely surpassed her own group, which is not something ordinary people can do.

"Do you know the Changting Group behind me?"

"Of course I know this. Changting Group is now a household name. It can be said to be the Changting Empire. It has strong assets and numerous industries. It is a big player in the business circle."

"Then do you know how Changting Group has developed to this point?"

Xia Ruohan didn't imply this, but stated it directly. No matter how stupid Liao Zonghan was, he could have guessed that his breathing was a little tight at this time. It was unbelievable to him that Li Wujiang was so capable. In officialdom, you can rely on relationships, but in the business world, you have to rely on true ability. Changting is following the path of high-tech development, and every step has caught up with the development of the times, which shows that the person behind the scenes has a forward-looking vision. "Ruohan, you said this is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. If he wants to develop in the business world, I think Changting's situation may be bigger than what you see now. Of course, if your company, Wong Hutchison Company, needs financial support, our Changting Company can definitely Take shares.”

Xia Ruohan's words were very clear, that is, they could provide the funds, and what they were interested in was the ability of Huang Hutchison Company to operate the terminal.

"Ruohan, since you said so, I believe you. I will personally take people to Binzhou City to discuss investment matters."

Xia Ruohan left, and Ouyang Wenjing came in.

"Ouyang, you're here at the right time. You should hurry up and draft the cooperation agreement for the development and construction of Dongliang Port Terminal and make early preparations. We will go to Binzhou to sign the cooperation framework in the next few days."

Liao Zonghan's 360-degree turn left Ouyang Wenjing a little confused. "Mr. Liao, why have you suddenly changed so drastically?"

"Weren't you still urging me a few days ago? Why do you have an opinion now that I have agreed?" Liao Zonghan was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"Mr. Liao, what do I have to say? I just want to know how you changed so quickly?"

"I said it was your reasons that convinced me. Do you believe me?"

"I don't believe it. Did that woman just say something? What is your relationship? Tell me honestly."

"Stop gossiping and get to work quickly."

Li Wujiang returned to Binzhou unscathed, which surprised many people. Some people thought Li Wujiang would never come back, and some thought Li Wujiang would be punished, but the province didn't say anything.

After Li Wujiang came back, he went to work and inspected the shipyard.

"Zhou Zhan, how is the work at the shipyard going?"

Zhou Zhan looked at the calm young man in front of him and sighed sincerely, this is where the gap between people lies. "Mayor Li, although I have been away from the shipyard for a while, after all, I am relatively familiar with this place. I quickly became involved with the old people in the shipyard. Everyone also hopes to revive the shipyard's yesterday's glory. According to you According to the requirements, the shipyard has held a plant-wide mobilization meeting and made arrangements, requiring all employees to devote their energy to the future development of the company. In addition, we have arranged for more than a dozen technical backbones to go to foreign and southern companies. Exchange and learn; at the same time, we contact our superiors in a timely manner to look for transformation and upgrading.”

"Okay, it seems that I have chosen the right person to go to the shipyard. In such a short period of time, you have done a great job. Next, you must take the lead, be the vanguard of Dongliang County, and play a leading role in setting an example. "

Zhou Zhan understood what Li Wujiang meant when he came today, that is, we are now in a difficult period of reform and development, and a company needs to come out and shout. He was sent by Li Wujiang to the shipyard, and he needs to play his role at this time. "Mayor Li, our shipyard is preparing to hold an upgrade and transformation ceremony recently. I hope you can participate."

"No problem, as long as it is conducive to economic development, I support it."

The exchange activities between cadres in Binzhou and Binzhou encountered problems, which Li Wujiang did not expect.

"Mayor Li, since we issued the notice, not many comrades have signed up to participate. That's why Secretary Ge asked me to ask you for advice. You have more ideas." Hou Yanli said in embarrassment.

"No, this is a good thing. How come no one of our cadres has signed up? Do you understand or not? Do you have any concerns?"

Chapter 534: Overt and covert fighting, hidden dangers

"When encountering this situation, we also learned about it immediately. The reasons are probably as follows. First, we are worried that after we leave, we will not have our own position when we come back; second, we are worried that we will not be acclimatized to the climate in the south and will not be able to adapt to the climate. Adapting to life in the south; third, worrying about whether organizational commitments can be fulfilled.”

"Our cadres are still conservative in their thinking. It is a rare opportunity to go to the south to study."

"Yes, but many people only look at the present and cannot see the future clearly."

"In that case, the organization department must let everyone see clearly where the future lies and make everyone understand that going out to study will become the norm and will also be an important bonus in the future selection and promotion process. Of course, for this event , the Organization Department can organize an interpretation meeting to tell everyone our policy intentions, make everyone aware of the purpose and importance of this event, and also let everyone understand the relationship between this matter and everyone's interests, in order to eliminate everyone's concerns. "For comrades who are willing to go out to study, we can keep their original jobs and promote them on a merit-based basis when they come back."

"Okay, Mayor Li, you have more ideas, so you can dispel everyone's worries."

"Minister Yan Li, the Organization Department still has the initiative. After all, you hold everyone's official title. For some outstanding cadres, you can also hold separate discussions and mobilize them one by one. As long as you work hard, I believe our Cadres still understand the truth.”

After talking about cadre exchanges, Hou Yanli mentioned recent economic development issues, which made her a little worried about Li Wujiang. "Mayor Li, some people are getting ready to take action recently. You'd better be prepared."

"Thank you, Minister Yan Li, for reminding me. Since what is supposed to come will always come, let them come as soon as possible. I don't believe Zhong Kui can't catch the little demon yet."

In the end, the Dongliang Port's suspension of approval was still brought to court. It was said that the investors wanted an explanation, but in fact it was some leading cadres who were adding fuel to the fire.

The other members of the Standing Committee usually arrive first, and the mayor and municipal party secretary arrive last. However, Li Wujiang was not so particular. He came earlier every time, even earlier than most members of the Standing Committee. During the previous Standing Committee meeting, everyone greeted him one by one. Today's Standing Committee meeting was a bit abnormal. Neither Yang Songtao nor Lu Wannian greeted him. But he didn't care at all. At this time, he could see people's hearts more clearly. Binzhou cannot develop now, mainly because many leaders cannot unite as one and only engage in internal fighting, which affects the overall development of Binzhou.

Ge Jiande also looked bad today. This meeting was not organized by him on his own initiative. Instead, he received a call from key provincial leaders who severely criticized him. He said that he was unable to unite the team members well, which led to the Binzhou Municipal Party Committee team being unable to unite as one. At critical and difficult times of development, negative news flooded the city, affecting the overall development of Binzhou. He asked Ge Jiande to handle the matter as soon as possible. After being criticized by the leader, Ge Jiande was still in a good mood.

Of course Ge Jiande knew the whole story. The leaders of the provincial party committee criticized him, which means that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection did not find any major problems after reviewing Li Wujiang. He, the secretary of the municipal party committee, failed to stabilize the current situation at a critical moment, leading to the further deterioration of the situation. He also knew that this was caused by some people with ulterior motives and fanning the flames.

"Everyone, the Standing Committee meetings have been quite frequent recently. I won't tell you why. I believe everyone knows it. The theme of our meeting today is to unite as one and work together to build a beautiful Binzhou. There have been rumors and rumors in Binzhou recently. , negative news is flying all over the sky, and these news have reached the ears of the provincial party committee leaders. I don’t know how everyone here will react after hearing it. At this point, Ge Jiande looked around, focusing especially on Lu Wannian and Yang Songtao. But the two men lowered their heads, as if they had nothing to do with them.

"Binzhou's development has just begun to pick up, and everything is moving in a good direction. However, it all suddenly stopped. The people of Binzhou do not agree. Do we, the Standing Committee members here, agree? Today we are going to put this matter on the table. I hope everyone can open their minds. The suspension of approval for Binzhou Port was a decision made by superiors. We, the Binzhou Municipal Party Committee, had no right to decide. The suspension of approval at that time was not the reason for us not to develop, nor was it the reason for us to waver in our determination to develop. At this time, it is more important for us to stabilize the development situation and let entrepreneurs who invest in Binzhou understand that our development in Binzhou depends on a good business environment and high-quality service attitude. Okay, I won’t say more. Mayor Wujiang can tell you about Dongliang Port."

Li Wujiang looked at everyone present without fear, and then said slowly, "Secretary Ge, leaders here, first of all, I am very sorry that Dongliang Port failed to apply for a national free trade port. This is something none of us want to see. But this is by no means a reason for us to stop development in Binzhou. Our development in Binzhou depends on many legs. Even if the superiors do not approve it, we can continue to organize the development and construction of Dongliang Port. We cannot not stop construction just because we have not received approval. To develop Dongliang Port, we must also develop industries such as electronic information, petrochemical equipment, and shipbuilding. Only in this way can our future development in Binzhou become more stable.”

As soon as Li Wujiang finished speaking, Lu Wannian asked, "Mayor Li, let me interrupt. Many investors come to Binzhou to invest and start businesses. They all come to upgrade Dongliang Port to a national free trade port. This upgrade Failure, this will affect many people’s investment confidence, what should we do in the future?”

"Secretary Lu, first of all, let me correct your statement. It is not that the upgrade failed, but that the approval was suspended. This means that the superiors have left us a hole. It depends on how we do the work in the future."

"Doesn't the postponement of the upgrade mean that the upgrade has failed? If it is postponed, will there be people in Binzhou to develop Dongliang Port?" Lu Wannian took advantage of the situation and pursued it.

"Although the capital has not approved it yet, the province has approved it. Our Dongliang Port has a superior geographical location. We can only take the lead in development and construction and bring many companies to Binzhou. With the improvement of the economy, I believe that it will be a matter of time for Dongliang Port to be upgraded sooner or later. "

"Mayor Wujiang, what he said is very exciting and makes us ready to take action. I heard that Mayor Wujiang has done a lot of work for this, which makes us admire. But I also have some questions, which I hope Mayor Wujiang can answer. . These entrepreneurs who come to Binzhou to invest are here to pursue profits. They want to see genuine policies. How can they invest a lot of money in the development and construction of Dongliang Port if they cannot get benefits. "

Chapter 535: A sudden turn of events

On the surface, Yang Songtao was praising Li Wujiang's efforts, but in fact, he hit the Achilles' heel of this problem with one move. Li Wujiang is also troubled by this matter now. Hutchison Port Group has not yet made up its mind to invest in Binzhou. No matter how much he talks, it will not help. But at this time, he still needs to step up. "Secretary Yang, this is a very good question. Businessmen are profit-seeking in nature, but profit is not their only pursuit. A good business environment and service concept are the foundation for the development of an enterprise. Of course, at this stage we need To further increase the promotion of Dongliang Port, we can invite domestic and foreign investors to visit our Dongliang Port. I believe that good resources will definitely attract everyone to invest and start business.”

"Mayor Li, the key is how to calm down the turmoil now. These entrepreneurs are making a lot of noise now. Talking about politics and reasoning is of little use to them. How to stabilize the situation and control people's hearts is particularly important." Pei Ruhai seems to be concerned about future economic development, but in fact he has been forcing Li Wujiang.

"Mayor Pei, these entrepreneurs are not unreasonable. We put our hearts into our hearts and do our work seriously. I believe that most entrepreneurs can still understand the government. After all, cooperation is a win-win situation." Vice Mayors Qi Shaobo and Li Wujiang are Be consistent and actively maintain it.

"The truth is the truth, but the reality is the reality. How to break the current impasse is the key. We always need to show some sincerity to let everyone see our determination."

"Oh, Mayor Pei, what do you mean by sincerity?" Li Wujiang asked with a smile on his face.

"It's hard for me to say this. Investors think they have been deceived and must ask for an explanation. We must give everyone a conclusion."

Pei Ruhai revealed his purpose by saying this. To come to a conclusion, it would be to prove Li Wujiang's mistake. If this is true, it will completely attack Li Wujiang's authority and image. Then how will Li Wujiang continue to work in Binzhou in the future?

Ge Jiande saw that everyone was really fighting. If this situation were allowed to continue, the Standing Committee would turn into a quarrel, and the Binzhou Municipal Party Committee would really be doomed. Ge Jiande coughed twice, and then said, "Today our standing committee is a meeting to solve problems, not a meeting for everyone to argue. At this time, everyone must reserve any opinions they have. We need to unite to deal with the problems we are facing now." "

While Ge Jiande was speaking, Li Wujiang's phone suddenly rang. When he saw it was Ouyang Wenjing's phone number, he wondered what would happen if Ouyang Wenjing called him at this time. When this girl has free time, she always likes to send herself text messages, saying something good or bad. At this time, he originally didn't want to answer the phone, but he didn't want to stay in the conference room, so he went out under the pretense of answering the phone.

"Miss Ouyang, why are you in the mood to call me?" Li Wujiang was originally in a bad mood, so he said some rogue words to ease his mood.

"What's wrong? Call Mayor Li, but Mayor Li still doesn't want to." Ouyang Wenjing didn't resent this, but felt a little happy in her heart.

"If Assistant Ouyang can come to Binzhou, I will be even more happy." Li Wujiang's coming certainly has a deeper meaning.

"Okay, since Mayor Li is so welcoming, you should be ready to pick up the plane."
