Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 861 Visiting Tianzhou

That night, Qi Tongwei stayed in Tianzhou.

The next day, under the pretext of an inspection, he asked Sha Ruijin to arrange someone to accompany him.

Sha Ruijin specially arranged for several members of the Standing Committee who he believed had a chance of winning the position.

One is Sun Dazhi, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, one is Gong Qinglian, Minister of United Front Work, and the other is Zhang Xuande, Minister of Propaganda.

Although these people's status is not as high as that of other Standing Committee members, they are also the most wavering.

If Qi Tongwei can bring these three people over for him, he will have an absolute advantage in the Standing Committee meeting.

At present, Sha Ruijin has four votes in his hands, including himself. One is the executive vice mayor Jia Shangwen, one is the Handong cadre who came with him, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Ji Jianming, and the other is the hidden secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Ma Lifeng.

Adding these three, as long as the operation is done properly, Long Fuhai will suffer a great loss.

When the three Standing Committee members heard that Sha Ruijin had arranged for them to receive Qi Tongwei, their expressions were very varied.

Among them, Gong Qinglian is the youngest, at the age of 36 and at the deputy department level. He has a close relationship with Qi Tongwei.

People always like to emulate the best, especially when they are so young, so they are very enthusiastic.

The Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Sun Dazhi, and the Minister of Propaganda, Zhang Xuande, were both seasoned veterans and were not so optimistic. They thought that Sha Ruijin was trying to teach them a lesson, and they were nervous and a little frightened.

There is no way, Qi Tongwei’s reputation is too great.

In just one year, it became so famous in Hanjiang that it made the northern cities feel ashamed.

Who doesn't like the provincial leaders above? If you make them unhappy, it won't be as easy to deal with as Long Fuhai and Sha Ruijin.

Sun Dazhi is the most senior of the three and naturally serves as the main receptionist.

"Mayor Qi, I wonder which part of Tianzhou you would like to inspect?"

Qi Tongwei said calmly: "The Provincial Party Committee has been emphasizing that I should lead several cities in the north to join forces.

But after much thought, I still can’t figure out what special features your Tianzhou has besides the coal mines.”

Sun Dazhi's face changed, not knowing what Qi Tongwei meant by his words.

Is this an allusion to the coal mining industry led by Long Fuhai, which is taking over the main business?

Seeing that Sun Dazhi was silent, Zhang Xuande was afraid of a dull atmosphere, so he quickly said, "Mayor Qi, our Tianzhou coal is indeed famous, but other industries have also been booming in recent years and are developing quite well.

I think there should be a lot of production capacity that complements Beishan. If you have time, you can stay in Tianzhou for a few more days and we will accompany you around."

Qi Tongwei smiled, "Okay, then I really want to see it."

In the morning, Sun Dazhi and others took Qi Tongwei to visit many star enterprises in Tianzhou.

Qi Tongwei looked at the lights in a hurry, with no expression of joy or sadness on his face, making it difficult to see his purpose or thoughts.

During lunch, Sun Dazhi tentatively asked Qi Tongwei whether he was satisfied with the morning's visit.

Qi Tongwei asked: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

The three of them were stunned. It was obvious that they were dissatisfied with this statement.

Qi Tongwei put down his chopsticks and said, "The industries we visited today are basically all available in Beishan, and their scale far exceeds yours in Tianzhou."

Sun Dazhi chuckled and said, "We're being a bit overconfident. We almost forgot that Beishan City is a major industrial town in the north."

Qi Tongwei waved his hand and interrupted, "This has nothing to do with any industrial giant town.

A year ago, the companies I mentioned had no scale at all and were only half-dying. The deputy mayor in charge of industry was extremely anxious.

Later I went down to visit and immediately found the problem.

The products of these companies are still very good, but the reason they have become half-dead is entirely because the leaders of these companies have become rigid in their thinking and are unable to capture market changes in a timely manner and update new products that are in line with the times.

After I replaced the staff with young people, the company started to get back on track within a year.

Today I discovered the same problem in your Tianzhou. The younger leadership hasn't kept pace, which is why Tianzhou's development is slowing down."

This statement was so shocking that it almost mentioned Long Fuhai's name directly.

"Think about a year ago, we in Beishan were extremely poor. Even the car I, the mayor, had to be provided by your mayor Sha.

At that time, I was very envious, envious that your mayor of Sha was assigned such a good place.

Both its development and potential are much greater than our Beishan.

But today I'm disappointed. Tianzhou hasn't changed at all in this year." He then asked a few people, "Why do you think that is?"

Why? Because the secretary holds the power, and the top two leaders can't get along.

But how dare they say this.

Sun Dazhi looked around and said, "I'm sorry, I can't explain this. I work in politics and law, so I don't know much about these economic issues. I think development always depends on the right time, place, and people. Maybe the time is not right yet."

Qi Tongwei said: "The right time, right place and right people, this summary is very accurate.

We need both policy guidance from above and the support of grassroots cadres below, and we must also pay attention to team unity.

It seems that Comrade Dazhi not only understands economics, but is also very good at grasping the core.

However, I think both of these are secondary. The most important thing is the unity among comrades.

Looking at the development history of our country and our party, we have grown from poverty to where we are today.

There is no such thing as the right time, nor the right place. The only thing that exists is the harmony of people.

It is the unity of workers and peasants and the unity of the people that has enabled our Red Star Party to finally achieve qualitative change from quantitative change and that has enabled our China to undergo such earth-shaking changes.

The same is true for Tianzhou today. We need to wait for the right time and place, but as long as everyone unites together, even without these two things, Tianzhou's future development will not be slow."

Damn it, did I think so much? If Secretary Long knew about this, would I be in trouble?

Sun Dazhi was so frightened that he dared not speak and pushed Zhang Xuande forward.

Zhang Xuande was naturally afraid that what they said would reach Long Fuhai's ears and become a nuisance, so he changed the subject and said, "Mayor Qi, since you are not satisfied, let's go to our newly established high-tech zone in Tianzhou."

Qi Tongwei said: "Forget it, if all the companies are like this, it will only waste time to transfer.

I think we should go directly to your Tianzhou’s business card, the Black Triangle Development Zone.

Our Beishan Power Plant is almost ready for construction and will be put into production in two months at most.

The demand for coal mines in the future may not be too low, so I think it would be helpful to learn more about the coal mining areas in Tianzhou."

This reason is very sufficient, so sufficient that people cannot find any reason to refuse.

Sun Dazhi and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and turned around to make arrangements.

Their only thought now is that they hope Mayor Qi will be kind enough to stop cheating them.
