Chapter 718 Lvzhou Cross-sea Bridge
It all started in that alley in Lincheng. The scenes from more than ten years ago flashed through Qi Tongwei's mind.
"Brother, aren't you just curious? You're working in the Government Affairs Council now, so you don't have as much free time as before."
"You know that? If you know that, stop talking nonsense. You never come to the temple for no reason. You called this number. There must be something wrong. If you have anything to ask, ask it quickly. I have to arrange a meeting soon."
Qi Tongwei thought for a while and finally asked about his concerns, but there was a burst of sneer on the other end of the phone.
"You are usually quite smart, but how come your brain gets rusty and stuck sometimes? Okay, Qi Tongwei's ability to make a living has never relied on any leader, so what are you afraid of?
Just do your job well in the free trade zone and don’t think too much about anything else.
Just think about it yourself, how many leaders have admired you along the way. Starting from when we were in Jiangbei New District, you were able to win the favor of the then Secretary Lu Xuwei (Black Bear Spirit) and Mayor Chen Guangwei. I don’t know how you did it.
Secretary Zhao came here to cause trouble at first, but he was impressed by your ability and character. Minister Wang also valued you when you went to the Ministry of Public Security. What are you worried about now? There is no need to worry. Just be yourself and do everything well.
Almost all the leaders above know you. Why? It’s because you proposed the Free Trade Zone and Zhuhai Port, and you were given important positions. You actually got these things done in a few years.
No matter which leader comes to your Jiangzhou, he must use you. At worst, he will use you for two years. Even if he asks you to give up your position, he will not fail to give you enough benefits.
Because many people are watching you, that's the advantage.
Your current fame guarantees that you will be treated fairly.
Furthermore, do you think that Secretary Zhao will be transferred to a lateral position after leaving the post of municipal party secretary?"
This sentence was like thunder. Yes, although this era has deviated a lot from the previous life, Secretary Zhao had never been the secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee in his previous life. Instead, he went to Yucheng and then transferred to Tianjin. He was promoted to the position of a first-rank cabinet member before his retirement. He retired after one term and did not have the sharpness and influence that he has today.
But it is different in this life. He started out as the secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the top leader of this city has always had easy steps to climb to the top.
After chatting for a few minutes, the phone was hung up.
Qi Tongwei sat in his seat, ignoring the ringing phone, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Yeah, why should I worry about these things, just do the work well first.
If you force yourself to get involved in the above matters, it will only cause disgust from your leaders and cause you more trouble in vain."
After figuring this out, Qi Tongwei stood up easily and answered the phone.
"Hello, who is this? Oh, I see. We will have a meeting to discuss this matter. Wait for notification."
.........
With the answer in his mind, Qi Tongwei naturally devoted himself to his work. He even went to Secretary Zhao's office less often. Zhao Mengsheng was also rarely in the office in recent times. When he arrived in Jiangzhou, he went on various research trips and left directly after the meeting. He might have spent more time in Beijing than in Jiangzhou.
Qi Tongwei took the bus to Zhuhai Island as usual. He opened the window and looked out from afar to see a large group of cadres in Luzhou, Handong, surveying the terrain and doing hydrological work. He then turned around and chatted with Yang Jianmin.
"Old Yang, look over there. It looks like Handong has been approved by the ministry, otherwise they would not have gone to the trouble of surveying the terrain."
Yang Jianmin also looked out the window in the direction Qi Tongwei indicated. As one of the contacts, he knew more.
"After the secretary passed the proposal at the last management committee meeting, the people in their Beijing office immediately took action. I don't know how many meals they had in the club for the people from the ministries and commissions, but they finally got the matter done at full speed. The argument was passed this morning.
Next, the funding needs to be approved at a meeting of several relevant ministries, and meeting minutes need to be drawn up. Once the leaders sign, construction can begin.
But their actions are still a bit hasty. They are conducting a survey so early, without waiting for the experts sent by the ministry to come."
Yang Jianmin knew the situation in great detail, and the officials in Handong were also doing public relations work for him, so they hoped that things could be resolved as quickly as possible.
Qi Tongwei sneered.
“You’ve guessed wrong about one thing. Li Dakang, the current party secretary of Luzhou, is impatient. He won’t wait until all the formalities are completed before starting construction.
He is confident that this matter can be accomplished as long as we don't hold them back.
The engineering team will start the site survey tomorrow, and they will definitely be working on it for a while before signing off.”
Without Gao Yuliang in Luzhou in this life, Zhao Lichun's base was taken away a lot, leaving only Luzhou and surrounding cities. Li Dakang, the reform pioneer, naturally took the position of provincial party committee member and Luzhou municipal party committee secretary early. His predecessor Liu Kaihe was unexpectedly transferred to the provincial capital of another province to serve as secretary. It is unknown what happened that made Zhao Lichun give up this economic general.
At this time, Qi Tongwei suddenly thought of the scene more than two years ago when Liu Kaihe, then secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Governor Qin came together. Could it be that this old guy has changed his allegiance?
Otherwise, why would he go to so much trouble to transfer one of his key generals out of the province? Does Zhao Lichun have nothing to do after taking up the post?
However, Qi Tongwei was very busy and didn't care about these things. Whether it was Li Dakang or Liu Kaihe, they all had to bow their heads and ask him to do things.
Yang Jianmin was a little surprised.
"They are so bold! A leader of the Development and Reform Commission told me privately that the higher-ups don't like Luzhou's application for a cross-sea bridge. They think that since the distance is so short, our cross-sea bridge will be enough. For goods turnover, it is only a few dozen kilometers to take the highway in Pujiang New District. They are building duplicate projects.
I even thought about vetoing their proposal. After all, signing one name would cost a huge amount of money in the tens of digits.
Now the higher-ups are issuing a document to strictly control the overheated economy construction, and I wonder if they will run into the crossfire. "
Qi Tongwei looked at Li Dakang's figure vaguely seen in the distance and felt sad. At this time, the two of them had not yet broken up, and Zhao Lichun had not yet called him an ungrateful person.
"We don't care about that. We have no reason to block them. The municipal party committee has no objection. Whether it is duplication of construction and waste of funds is a matter for the higher-level committees to consider. If it passes the demonstration, it should be approved."
Qi Tongwei also had doubts about the last sentence. Li Dakang is really a gambler. If we consider the turnover of goods, there is really no need to spend so much effort to build another cross-sea bridge to the north. It would only take a detour of dozens of kilometers from Pujiang New District to Luzhou by taking the highway.
If the leaders above really block the construction of this bridge, Li Dakang will be in a difficult situation and his career will be in jeopardy. Their Zhao Lichun faction is no longer the only dominant force in Handong.
