Chapter 722: Handong Structure
The big leader will be back soon, and news at all levels will report the leader's investigation itinerary in a series of articles. The person standing half a step behind the big leader and Zhao Mengsheng in the news photos at all levels is Qi Tongwei. His image has appeared so prominently in news at all levels across the country for the first time. Many people know that this is an important signal.
In Zhao Mengsheng's office, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and Qi Tongwei was called here again.
"Have a seat by yourself and make yourself some tea. I have some documents to look at."
Qi Tongwei was familiar with this office. Secretary Chen found some specially supplied tea for Qi Tongwei and kindly provided him with hot water before leaving.
Qi Tongwei clasped his fist in gratitude and said, "You have been given the opportunity to perform, and you must remember this favor."
Qi Tongwei made two cups of tea, placed one on Zhao Mengsheng's desk first, and then drank his own tea in the meeting area.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Mengsheng came to the sofa in the reception area holding a half-drunk cup of tea. Qi Tongwei hurriedly stood up, and Zhao Mengsheng waved his hand to motion him to sit down.
"Today the senior leader talked to me about something that has something to do with you.
What's the matter with the Luzhou Cross-sea Bridge in Handong Province?
Tell me in detail what's going on there."
When Qi Tongwei heard about this, he put the teacup in his hand on the table, sat up straight, and organized his words for a few seconds before speaking.
"Secretary, they proposed the Lvzhou Cross-sea Bridge. They came to me a few months ago and applied to join the overall plan of the Free Trade Zone. I didn't interfere much because they raised the money for this plan by themselves. The ministry and the Handong Provincial Party Committee contributed part of the money. They didn't need us to contribute money, and they were also responsible for implementing the policies themselves.
So our free trade zone passed this resolution and let them do it themselves.
Please see here for the specific projects.”
Qi Tongwei walked to the map in the office. The map of Jiangzhou City was in the middle, and the Luzhou Cross-sea Bridge was also within the range of the map. Qi Tongwei pointed to the point they had pre-selected on the map and explained.
“The cross-sea bridge they proposed is very close to the new district bridge we have built now, and the investment amount is huge.
The project includes a highway directly connected to their industrial park. The overall specifications of the bridge are not small. Sports cars can run on it and trains can run below. The overall investment scale is not small.
It’s a pretty big project.”
Although Qi Tongwei did not say anything subjective, everything was shown on the map. Zhao Mengsheng stood in front of the map and talked to himself.
"That is to say, there is indeed some duplication between their cross-sea bridge and our cross-sea bridge.
It is less than 50 kilometers from Pujiang New District to their Luzhou City in the north. They have spent so much money to repair it, and we don’t know how much it will cost.
No wonder Lao Xue rejected it directly."
Zhao Mengsheng swiped his fingers on the map a few times. This was the route when the Luzhou Cross-sea Bridge in Handong Province was not yet built, which is also the current route for cargo transportation from the port.
Qi Tongwei heard the key information. Director Xue of the Development and Reform Commission actually directly rejected Handong's plan. It seemed that he had clearly rejected it instead of using an ambiguous attitude to let them continue to waste their time. You know, Li Dakang and Zhao Lichun attached great importance to this thing.
It seems that the prestige of Zhao Lichun and Li Dakang will suffer a great blow.
Qi Tongwei's eyes rolled quickly. If it were in his previous life, Zhao Lichun was the only dominant player in Handong. Even if such a project failed, it would not affect a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee like Li Dakang. But this time the situation was very different.
There are several factions in Handong now, and Zhao Lichun cannot dominate alone. Li Dakang suffered a Waterloo in this matter. The other two factions will not show mercy and will definitely seize the opportunity to attack Li Dakang and use it to hit Zhao Lichun behind him.
As long as Li Dakang is attacked, it means that Zhao Lichun has been slapped in the face. If it were normal times, Zhao Lichun might not care. But the term of office will be changed next year, and who doesn't want his or her name to appear in front of the leaders with the image of positive political achievements?
Qi Tongwei judged that the internal strife in Handong had reached a stage, but what could he do without causing Secretary Zhao's disgust and at the same time smoothly intervening in the internal situation in Handong?
Qi Tongwei couldn't think of any good solution for a moment, so he decided to take it one step at a time.
Sure enough, Zhao Mengsheng seemed to be expressing his feelings about something and began to talk about the situation in Handong.
“These people in the Handong Provincial Committee have been fighting fiercely recently, and the top leader expressed his dissatisfaction with their current situation to me.
You have experience working there and are an expert in struggle, do you have any opinion?"
To be honest, after listening to this topic, Qi Tongwei didn't dare to say anything. With his status, how could he dare to interrupt and say such things?
"Secretary, I am not fit to say this.
The situation back then was different from what it is now.”
Zhao Mengsheng glanced at Qi Tongwei.
"You little monkey can get scared sometimes too.
But now don’t treat me as a leader, just treat me as a friend and talk to me about what’s going on over there.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei straightened his body, afraid that he might have said something wrong.
"Secretary, if you really say so, then I will dare to say a few words.
But to be honest, I can't talk to you as a friend. In my heart, you have always been an elder who takes care of me."
Zhao Mengsheng smiled and waved.
"What are you talking about? I asked you to talk about Handong."
“Oh oh, yes.
Secretary, let me boldly talk about the situation in Handong. Secretary, you know that I am from Handong Province. I am well aware that the current scattered situation in Handong Province is more in line with the interests of the higher-ups.
This jagged layout of provincial boundaries is an effective provincial boundary that has been implemented since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Even though we have entered the industrial age and the technological age, people's hearts have not changed over the past thousand years. The current bulk Handong also reflects the pattern of the Handong Provincial Party Committee.
Handong is a scattered whole, with the provincial capital Jingzhou which is not in the hinterland, Luzhou and several surrounding cities are completely within the Jiangzhou economic circle, and many cities in the north are closer to neighboring provinces. In this way, it is impossible for Handong to unite internally. In addition, the secondary taxation policy of cities in the entire region is more in line with the interests of the superiors who control Handong.
This is the major premise, but the current situation has arisen because the Handong Provincial Party Committee has committed the error of factionalism in implementing the policies from above, namely the strategy of multiple central cities and multi-polar development in Handong, and the internal struggle has begun to intensify and become obvious.
Although the development directions and strategies of the various centers may be different, they must generally obey the unified leadership of the provincial party committee and government, and this is unshakable.”
