Chapter 33 people and things

The young cadre class of the Lingxi Provincial Party School started ahead of schedule. This year's young cadre class is to train young cadres. There are very few places in various places, and the age and job requirements are very strict. Shazhou has been allocated six places.The study class started in July, first visited the coastal areas for two months, then started in September, and ended in July 1998. It lasted for twelve months, almost the same as Zhu Yan's prefectural-level reserve class.The candidate for Yiyang County is Liu Kun, the director of the county government office. He meets the requirements from age to seniority.

At the beginning of the year, Zhu Yan once mentioned that Hou Weidong would be allowed to join the Qingcadre class. After hearing the news that Liu Kun was participating in the Qingcadre class, Hou Weidong was a little surprised and quite disappointed, and sent a letter to Zhu Yan to report the matter.It has become Hou Weidong's habit to regularly use the Internet to report Yiyang's affairs to Zhu Yan. After going to work the next day, Zhu Yan opened the email, read the letter, and called Hou Weidong directly: "It was originally arranged for you to go, but it was a temporary change. What do you think about this matter?"

Hou Weidong said: "I am very conflicted. It is a good thing to be able to study at the Provincial Party School, but the affairs of the new management committee are too complicated. I am really worried about letting go of this mess." The deputy mayor of the city is flying, and he didn't complain a word, so what's the matter with me?" "Ji Haiyang has already told me about this matter. I agree with him. It is better for you to stay in the new management committee. You have to deal with this matter correctly. As long as you do the work of the new management committee well, there will be many more opportunities in the future. " Zhu Yan pointed out, "Yiyang County Party Committee has only eight members of the Standing Committee, and it makes sense for County Mayor Ma to reuse Liu Kun. You have to figure out the mystery, and you have to think about it from the perspective of the other party, so that you can make a correct judgment."

With one word to awaken the dreamer, Hou Weidong immediately understood the mystery: "Yang Senlin presides over the work of the county party committee as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, but he has no foundation in the standing committee of the county party committee. The other members of the Standing Committee are at both ends of the head. Ma Youcai, the county magistrate, can get the support of at least two members of the Standing Committee and have more say in Yiyang, which is a typical Shazhou-style politics.” After figuring this out, Hou Weidong was at peace. However, there are more officials in Yiyang who are not calm, and Yang Dajin, the county party committee office, is one of them.He has been a middle-level cadre for many years, and has been working in the front line of the economic field. He has always been valued. Seeing that he is getting older, he is still moving around in the second-level team and has not been promoted.Yiyang has a custom that the director of the county party committee usually has to be a member of the standing committee, and the Yiyang county party committee now has eight members of the standing committee, which is obviously short of one. After Yang Dajin became the director of the county party committee office, his desire to join the standing committee became stronger.After the adjustment of cadres in July, he knew in his heart that even if Yang Senlin agreed to help him, if Zhu Yan didn't nod, he would not be able to join the Standing Committee anyway.

"Director Hou, I'm Yang Dajin, what are you up to? Is there any arrangement at noon today? Secretary Ji published an article on "Lingxi Daily", and our brothers invited Secretary Ji to have a glass of wine to express our congratulations." Hou Weidong said to this The director of the committee office also attached great importance to it, and immediately agreed. "Zhangjia Reservoir, we set off at 11 o'clock. Don't take the driver today. The brothers drink and fish, and have a good time for half a day." After receiving Yang Dajin's phone call, Hou Weidong began to wonder: "If I were Yang Dajin, what would be the thing I desire most?"

Standing in the position of Yang Dajin, Hou Weidong grasped the core of the problem at once: "Yiyang County Committee is short of a member of the Standing Committee. I am in Yang Dajin's position, so I definitely want to be a member of the Standing Committee. To be a member of the Standing Committee, he must Let’s face it, that’s why we suddenly called for lunch at noon.” Hou Weidong continued to think, “Secretary Ji’s article has been published for several days, and Yang Dajin, as the office director, is free to have lunch with Secretary Ji today. The forest should not be in the county." Thinking in another way, Hou Weidong's ability to judge suddenly improved.

Out of respect for Ji Haiyang, Hou Weidong drove his blue bird from the family building of Shazhou University to Zhangjia Reservoir at 10:40.When we arrived at the reservoir, we specifically explained to the owner of the reservoir: "The life at noon is recorded in the account of the new management committee, and no other people's money can be collected." He asked the owner of the reservoir to prepare four or five fishing rods and soak them in farm eagle tea. As soon as the preparations were finished, Ji Haiyang and Yang Dajin arrived. Ji Haiyang became the deputy secretary, and he didn't want to change the car at first, but Yang Senlin bought a new car soon after he arrived in Yiyang. If Ji Haiyang insisted on not changing the car, it would look weird and put Yang Senlin in embarrassment.So, Ji Haiyang's car was given to Yang Dajin, and he replaced it with a new Toyota.Today, neither of them took the car assigned by the county party committee. Yang Dajin borrowed a Crown car and acted as the driver himself.

When he came to the side of the reservoir, Yang Dajin called the boss over and learned that Hou Weidong had already made arrangements, and said loudly: "Brother Hou, I agreed today that my brother will arrange it. Boss, I can't take his money." Ji Haiyang was standing by the reservoir, picking out fishing rods with great interest, and said, "Da Jin, don't be polite to Hou Weidong, the New Management Committee is very prosperous now, so it's trivial to shed some blood." All three laughed. In the small reservoir in July, the sun shone brightly on the water.Under the scorching sun, Ji Haiyang stood under the willow tree wearing a broken straw hat, and caught four crucian carp in a short while.

When the food was served, Yang Dajin picked up his wine glass and said, "Today, the three directors of the Yiyang County Committee Office gathered together to congratulate Secretary Ji on the publication of the article in "Lingxi Daily", and to learn some office work experience from the two seniors. " Hou Weidong hurriedly said: "Director Yang, when you became the director of the planning committee, I just graduated from university, calling senior is killing me, and director Yang is the former director of the new management committee, so I should really call director Yang Senior Yang. "

Ji Haiyang said with a smile: "Old Yang, don't look out like this. Everyone is usually busy. Drinking, chatting, and fishing today are completely relaxed." .” The way of eating fish in Zhangjia Reservoir is very unique, rub the fish with salt, put some lard, then put ginger, boil it in reservoir water, put some green onion when cooking, add some fishy smell that grows around the reservoir Grass, it is made into a pot of delicious food, which is completely different from the dishes in the city that are half fish and half seasoning, with a lot of wild flavor. "I really envy Director Hou's age. I haven't turned 30 yet, but I'm already a five-year-old." Yang Dajin sighed.

Yang Dajin is over forty-three years old. At this age, if he cannot get closer to the county-level leaders as soon as possible, it will be difficult to make progress after he turns forty-five years old. Therefore, there is a saying in official circles, "Diplomas are indispensable, age is necessary." It's a treasure." Ji Haiyang understood Yang Dajin's situation very well, and said: "Director Yang is too early for the fifth day. I remember that I only ate your forty wine the year before last." "It wasn't the year before last, what happened at the end of 1994, and it turned into forty-three in a flash." Yang Dajin said a few words with emotion, and then said, "Secretary Ji is the secretary in charge of the organization, and Director Hou is also the director of the committee office who has presided over the work. I am not an outsider. Take this opportunity to report your thoughts today." Ji Haiyang said: "It's just us brothers, Director Yang, don't be too polite." Hou Weidong secretly said: "This is the theme, my judgment is completely correct." Sure enough, Yang Dajin expressed today's theme: "Yiyang's county party committee directors have all joined the Standing Committee over the years, and now there is only one person left on the Standing Committee. I have been the director of the Committee Office for several months. Can the organization also consider letting me join the committee?" Member of the Standing Committee? From the perspective of qualifications, I have been the mayor of Chengguan Town, the director of the Planning Committee, the director of the New Management Committee, and the director of the Committee Office in the past ten years. .In terms of age, I will be forty-four this year, and if I don’t get promoted, I will have no chance.” Since it is a small area, Yang Dajin is very sincere and speaks the truth. This coincided with Hou Weidong's prediction, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Ji Haiyang has long thought about this matter for Yang Dajin, but Yi Yang's situation is a bit special, he thought for a while, and said: "A few days ago I went to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and reported this matter to the department, and there will be results soon Don't worry, the organization will consider your actual situation." When the matter was not decided, Ji Haiyang spoke very vaguely. Yang Dajin quickly raised his wine glass and toasted: "Thank you, Secretary Ji, for your concern." After drinking a few more glasses of wine and chatting some gossip, Ji Haiyang seemed to be casually saying: "I went to the provincial party school a few days ago. Care about Secretary Zhu, and consider things carefully." Yang Dajin is the office director chosen by Yang Senlin. After becoming the director of the committee office, he ran around with Yang Senlin every day. So far, he has only followed Yang Senlin to the provincial party school once.When the personnel adjustment was over in July, he had already realized his major mistake, and invited Ji Haiyang and Hou Weidong to dinner in order to make up for his previous mistakes. Hearing Ji Haiyang's words at this time, he still felt chills on his back, and thought angrily, "How could I have been so stupid a while ago, I just followed Yang Senlin and didn't go to the provincial party school to visit Zhu Yan alone, I was really stupid. He said in his mouth: "Secretary Ji, you are right in your criticism. I will deal with this matter right away, and I will definitely do it well." Ji Haiyang emphasized a bit, and said, "You have to do this tomorrow, and you can't delay it for long." While Ji Haiyang was going to the toilet, Yang Dajin whispered to Hou Weidong: "Brother Hou, Secretary Zhu, you must find an opportunity to say something nice for me." "Don't worry, I know what to do." Hou Weidong said with concern again, "You must keep the Secretary Zhu's matter in mind, and you must go tomorrow." Yang Dajin shook hands with Hou Weidong vigorously, very grateful. Yang Dajin, director of the County Party Committee Office, was busy caring about Zhu Yan's life, and temporarily forgot Yang Senlin, who was in charge of the work of the County Party Committee. At this time, loneliness coiled in the heart of Yang Senlin, deputy secretary of the county party committee, like a snake.When he came to Yiyang from Shazhou, he was full of ambition and wanted to do something real in Yiyang. However, a large county with nearly a million people is completely different from a municipal party committee and municipal government with only a few people. , There is a huge gap between theory and practice.What's more important is that the inexhaustible human relationship forms a complicated web, and he is just an insect caught in it. "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish." Thinking of this famous saying of the sages, Yang Senlin cursed: "It's a deceptive lie. Whoever treats governing a country as a small fish is either a genius or a lunatic." Yang Senlin drove aimlessly around Yiyang Street, a habit he had developed over the years.Whenever he encounters a difficult problem, he is like a lunatic in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, driving around in a car. When he is hungry, he finds a small restaurant, cuts some braised pork, cooks a tofu soup, and eats two bowls of rice. It will get better as the food enters the stomach. I drove the car to Shawanzi, which was an important node on Shayi Road and the junction of Shazhou City and Yiyang County.After the expressway was opened to traffic, Shawanzi quickly declined. There were no more women and children selling snacks here, and a layer of black and green moss grew on the small cement dam. "There are no hurdles in the world that I can't overcome. I must do something in Yiyang, otherwise I will be looked down upon by Uncle Zhu." In Shawanzi, Yang Senlin sat quietly for more than an hour, then ignited the fire suddenly, As soon as I stepped on the accelerator, I got on the road again, and drove towards Shazhou along the old road.When he arrived in Shazhou, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. He randomly found a small restaurant on the edge of the city, ordered a few home-cooked dishes, enjoyed them slowly, and thought about his thoughts carefully. Yang Senlin still ate a light and ordinary lunch for more than an hour. He deliberately left his mobile phone in the car to avoid being harassed.After eating, he sat back in the car and waited until 2:30 in the afternoon. He called Meng Houshi, secretary-general of the municipal government: "Uncle Meng, I'm Forest. I have nothing to do. I just want to talk to you." Meng Houshi looked at the thick documents on the desk, and said: "I have a few things to deal with. I will go to my house at 3 o'clock and have dinner at home in the evening." He called home again, "Old woman In the evening, the forest will come to eat, burn two carp, and get a bottle of Shaoxing rice wine." Meng Houshi's lover is only in his fifties. Although he is called an old woman, he is actually a very agile middle-aged person. She said: "This child Lin Lin has a sharp edge, and his personality is exactly the same as his father. When he reaches the grassroots level, he may offend a lot of people." People, you also persuade him tonight." When Yang Senlin came to Meng Houshi's house on time, Meng Houshi was already waiting in the study, and the room was cool.A set of Go is placed on the tea table. The board is made of camphor wood, with wooden stripes, which is very textured. All the wrinkles on Meng Houshi's face were stretched out, and the usually serious old man showed a benevolent side, and said: "Forest, set up a plate first, and have a good time." Yang Senlin was also polite, waiting for Meng Houshi to drop the chess piece, clasped the chess piece and slammed it down. The two have fought countless times, and they have long been familiar with each other's routines.In the middle game, Yang Senlin accidentally strangled a big dragon.Meng Houshi took a sip of tea happily and said, "Forest, half a year after Yiyang, his chess power has declined." Yang Senlin smiled wryly and said, "I'm so busy that I'm dizzy, how can I have time to play chess?" Meng Houshi was very clear about Yiyang's situation, and said: "You are the secretary of the county party committee. Compared with the chief executive, you should be much more detached. As long as you control people and manage people well, you can control everything." This was also the most troublesome thing for Yang Senlin. He couldn't help complaining: "I'm just the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and I can't say enough in Yiyang." Meng Houshi said: "The adjustment of cadres has been hindered recently, isn't it?" Yang Senlin knew that Meng Houshi was always well-informed, and said: "The recently adjusted group of cadres, the director of the new management committee, the secretary of the Chengguan town, and the director of the land and real estate bureau, these key positions, I can't move them at all. The county party secretary can't control them. Officer, what's the point of that?" Meng Houshi said: "Haste makes waste. You have never been in charge of the local area before. This is an opportunity specially arranged by Zhu Bobo. If it is done well, it will become the foundation of career development. If it is not done well, hey, I will go back to the provincial capital to work. .” Yang Senlin's face was very ugly, and he was dissatisfied. "This year, you don't need to make achievements, and you don't need to have your own thoughts. If you maintain the situation, opportunities will come naturally." Meng Houshi shook his hand holding the glasses and explained, "Zhu Yan is in the market. He has status in the city and is Zhou Changquan's favorite general. After graduating from the party school, he will be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Why should you be serious with him? The gain outweighs the loss." Hearing that Zhu Yan was going to be promoted, Yang Senlin's eyes lit up: "Zhu Yan really won't return Yi Yang?" "Hmph, things in Shazhou, the plan doesn't change quickly, you just have to know about this matter." Meng Houshi confessed again, "Don't ask Uncle Zhu about this matter, he is a man of principles. He He told me that if you really can't serve as the secretary of the county party committee, he will reconsider your whereabouts, and maybe transfer you to a unit with better conditions in the provincial capital." When Yang Senlin became the deputy secretary of the county party committee, Zhu Jianguo once solemnly said so.Yang Senlin was originally a proud person, even if he suffered a setback in Yiyang, he was unwilling to complain to Zhu Jianguo easily. Zhu Jianguo, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Meng Houshi, Secretary-General of the Shazhou Municipal Government, and Yang Senlin's father were all former colleagues of the Shazhou Machinery Factory.At that time, Zhu Jianguo was the secretary of the Youth League branch, and the fathers of Meng Houshi and Yang Senlin were the technical backbone of the workshop. After the fighting began, all three young people joined the Red Banner Rebel Fighting Team in the factory. Yang Senlin's father was full of vigor, daring to fight and charge. When the fighting was at its most intense, he once single-handedly carried a submachine gun to the opponent's royalist camp. He was a well-known fighting hero in the combat team.Heroes are often associated with tragedies. In a factional battle, Yang Senlin's father was hit head-on by a large-caliber machine gun and was broken in two on the spot, leaving no last words. This is the tragedy of the times, and the pain is deeply hidden in the hearts of Zhu Jianguo, Meng Houshi and others, and it has become a memory that will never go away. Zhu Jianguo and Meng Houshi have a special affection for Yang Senlin and have always treated him as their son. However, Meng Houshi and Yang's father worshiped the same master in the factory back then, and their relationship is closer.Yang Senlin grew up under Menghoushi's eyelids when he was very young, and he was closer to Menghoushi, and he spoke casually. Yang Senlin is smart and capable, but like his father, he is impatient and eager for success, which is a big taboo in politics.Meng Houshi naturally saw this very clearly, and reminded him more than once, but the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. After joining the work, Yang Senlin often had conflicts with his leaders because of work matters. His opinion is correct, but he wins the truth and loses the feelings and connections. Fortunately, Zhu Jianguo, Meng Houshi and others took care of Yang Senlin, so although he offended countless people, he was promoted step by step.It was Zhu Jianguo's special arrangement for Yang Senlin to serve as the deputy secretary of the Yiyang County Party Committee this time.If Yang Senlin has a good grasp, he is very likely to become the youngest county party secretary in Lingxi. "Sinlin, your foundation in Yiyang is too shallow, and you can't take too big a step. All this time, you only focused on Ma Youcai and ignored the existence of Zhu Yan. This is a big mistake. Fortunately, there have been no major problems. After benefiting Yang, hurry up to make a remedy, and remember, communicate with Zhu Yan more often, there will be no harm.” Two months ago, Yang Senlin might not be able to accept Meng Houshi’s opinion, and now he finally realizes the matter The complexity of the situation, said: "Tomorrow, I will visit Zhu Yan again, and try to win his support." The next day, Hou Weidong was convening a meeting of the cadres of the new management committee. Since the merger of the new management committee and the development zone, a dozen or so directors and deputies of the second-level team have suddenly been added. In order to integrate the first and second-level teams, there are more meetings than before . Hou Weidong was drooling as he spoke, when Xiao Liu from the office came up with a phone book and said, "A notice from the county party committee office, please come to Secretary Yang's office at 10 o'clock on time, Director Hou." Hurrying to Yang Senlin's office, Yang Senlin stood up politely and shook hands with Hou Weidong. "Director Hou, I have read the recent work report of the new management committee. Your work is very effective, and the county party committee is very satisfied. After the loan from the Development Bank arrives, how can we use the money for ideas and how to give full play to the leverage of the billion-dollar loan? This is a university question, and I am going to visit Secretary Zhu in Lingxi this afternoon, and ask him for advice. At the same time, I also want to meet with experts from the Development Bank and ask for their opinions." Hou Weidong subconsciously thought: "What is Yang Senlin's purpose in doing this? I guess he should show his favor to Zhu Yan." Yang Senlin continued: "This is a small-scale visit. I will take you and Dajin together. You must prepare relevant materials and make a good impression when you meet with the Development Bank." After accepting this task, Hou Weidong returned to the office after thinking all the way, and just opened the office door when he received a call from Li Jing. "Today I am going to Lingxi with Secretary Yang Senlin of the county party committee. I will meet with Secretary Zhu in the afternoon and have dinner with experts from the Development Bank in the evening." Li Jing smiled brightly, and said: "You have no conscience, you haven't called me for so long. The financial crisis in Southeast Asia has also affected the Jinggong Group. For such a big matter, you make me a weak woman and delicate It's too cruel to bear it on my shoulders." Hou Weidong said: "When I arrived in the development zone, I had the same things as when I was in the county party committee." Li Jing smiled and said: "Don't explain, I didn't blame you. I will come to Yiyang tomorrow. First, I will collect the bill. The money from the Transportation Bureau has not been transferred to the Jinggong Group account. Second, I will inspect my work in Shangqinglin. Tiaoshichang, it’s not that I can’t trust you, it’s my right. Third, I heard from the chairman of Mushan that the new management committee is booming, and Seiko Group also wants to come and see it. I’m an investor. As the director of the new management committee, you must personally Welcome." Hou Weidong thought subconsciously: "What does Li Jing mean?" He said: "As the director of the new management committee, you are welcome to invest in the new management committee." After saying a few words, Li Jing suddenly said softly, "Come to my place at night?" This sentence made Hou Weidong almost angry, saying: "It depends on the situation, I can't help myself." The banquet in Lingxi ended at exactly 8 o'clock in the evening.The Provincial Development Bank spoke highly of Yiyang County's work in developing the new management committee. Half of it was official talk, and the other half was truth.Zhu Yan and Yang Senlin were able to personally report the progress of the work, which at least shows that the Yiyang County Party Committee has a correct attitude, and attitude determines the success or failure of a billion-dollar loan. After seeing off the leaders of the Provincial Development Bank, Zhu Yan and Yang Senlin chatted casually in the small garden in the hotel courtyard, Hou Weidong and Yang Dajin followed from a distance, not too close. Zhu Yan and Yang Senlin stood in the garden for more than half an hour before saying goodbye.When they broke up, Yang Senlin specifically confessed: "Director Hou, you have to send Secretary Zhu back to the party school." In fact, regardless of whether Yang Senlin confessed or not, Hou Weidong would send Zhu Yan to the party school. When we arrived at the gate of the party school, it was just 9:00, and Zhu Yan was a little bit drunk. He didn't want to hold that beautifully printed book today. This book is suitable for drinking tea and reading quietly. Hou Weidong held back many words, and accompanied Zhu Yan to the door of the dormitory building, and said, "Secretary Zhu, it's still early, I'll sit with you." Zhu Yan looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "You should have never been to Iron Tower Mountain. Let's drink tea and chat to see the night view of Lingxi. How about your driving skills?" "not bad." "It's okay to drink, right?" "This drink is nothing." Zhu Yan took out a key and said, "I'm not good at technology, I just went out for two trips at night, and today you drive." Hou Weidong took the initiative to propose: "Secretary Zhu, Wang Bing has good skills. I will leave him in Lingxi and serve as a full-time driver for you. It is convenient to use." Zhu Yan shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. When I arrived at the party school, I just wanted to sit down and read some books." He thought for a while, and then said, "It's really inconvenient not to have a driver. If you do this, let Wang Bing stay for a few days. Give me a coach. After I leave the teacher, he will complete the task." The car went up the mountain, the mountain road was winding, Hou Weidong drove very carefully. Iron Tower Mountain is about 1,000 meters above sea level. There is a flat dam on the top of the mountain, which was contracted by someone. A row of small tables and parasols were placed, and some stars were hung. It became an open-air bar.Sitting on the top of the mountain, looking up at the sky, the sky full of stars is extraordinarily magnificent, bending down, it is a bright light of Lingxi City. Zhu Yan moved the small chair to the edge of Pingba. Below is the bottomless cliff. The mountain wind blows from the valley, sweeping away the heat.He looked at the city lights and said, "When will Shazhou have such bright lights?" Hou Weidong noticed sensitively that Zhu Yan was talking about Shazhou instead of Yiyang. He followed Zhu Yan's eyes and stared at the distant city, saying: "After the new management committee is completed, the lights will be so brilliant." Zhu Yan didn't speak any more, but held the teacup silently. After a while, he suddenly turned around and asked, "How effective is your quarry?" Hou Weidong said in a down-to-earth manner: "The task of building Yiyang is not small, and the benefits of the quarry are not bad." Hou Weidong confessed to Zhu Yan very early on about the quarry.Zhu Yan did not dislike this from the bottom of his heart, but admired Hou Weidong's mind, saying: "Your generation happens to be in the era of reform and opening up, and you are much luckier than us. With a salary of 1 yuan, I live in the dormitory of the unit, ride a second-hand bicycle, and I am still happy every day. Through your incident, I also got some inspiration. An inland city like Shazhou must have unconventional means to catch up Coastal areas. Generally speaking, in Shazhou, cadres are a group of high-quality people, and loose policies should be introduced so that they can take the lead in running enterprises. I saw a document in the party school about the development of Shunde enterprise clusters Historically, one-third of the country's home appliance production was in Guangdong, and Shunde accounted for half of it. It is the country's largest production base for refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters and disinfection cupboards, as well as the country's largest manufacturer of electric fans, microwave ovens and rice cookers. Center, Rongsheng, Midea, Macro and Galanz have all become national famous brands.” Zhu Yan has obviously studied this matter, and it sounds like a treasure. "The reason why Shunde enterprises can develop is that government officials have played a big role. For example, Pan Ning of the Zhujiang Refrigerator Factory is the deputy director of the Shunde Ronggui Township Works Office, Liang Qingde of the world's largest microwave oven company Galanz is the deputy director of the Shunde Guizhou Township Works Office, Robust's He Boquan is the secretary of the Youth League Committee of Xiaolan Town. Shazhou must emancipate the mind and let government officials do business, so as to fight a bloody road." Zhu Yan looked at Hou Weidong, and said, "How do you view these things? This is a private discussion, so speak up boldly." Hou Weidong has many years of business experience. His experience is slightly different from that of Zhu Yan. He said: "The current policy does not allow the county and township governments to invest in enterprises, and the government officials themselves lack the start-up funds to start enterprises, so even if there are policies, it is not difficult. Small." Zhu Yan said disapprovingly: "They will always find a way. I am confident in this. The key is to look at the attitude of the leadership and the operability of the policy. A whole set of systems, I have been thinking about this issue in the party school. Of course, this set of theories will definitely be criticized as fallacies, and I can only think about it in my mind." He pointed to his head and said: "The new management committee does not have any obvious advantages in terms of location. Compared with provincial capitals and regional cities, it still has disadvantages. It is difficult to stand out among the many development zones in the province. You are the new management committee. The top leaders must boldly emancipate their minds, otherwise it will be difficult for the new management to break through." The two looked at the distant starry sky, blowing the mountain wind, and chatted about metaphysical issues. They were both mentally and physically relaxed. Hou Weidong also regarded Zhu Yan as a knowledgeable senior, not a powerful county party secretary. Chatting until 11 o'clock in the evening, the two went down the mountain. When they parted, Zhu Yan said: "This study is over, I don't think I will return to Yiyang, and I don't know where I will work. You have to find a way to get a master's degree from Lingxi University as soon as possible, and the more you go to a large institution, The higher the diploma requirements, the more you have to be prepared.” After leaving the gate of the party school, Hou Weidong didn't want to trouble Wang Bing to drive the car over, and took a taxi back to the hotel. He kept thinking about what Zhu Yan said, and said in his heart: "Zhu Yan probably meant what I meant. Follow him?" As the leader of the new management committee, he can basically give full play to his will. This is much more comfortable than being a secretary to serve the leader. However, Zhu Yan will definitely be a city-level leader after finishing his studies at the Provincial Party School, and he will definitely have a bright future with him. It should be bigger, so Hou Weidong was quite hesitant about this matter. While walking and thinking, I suddenly heard someone shout in the hall: "Hou Weidong." Following the sound, Hou Weidong was surprised to see Zeng Xiangang, who was also walking towards the elevator with another strong man. Zeng Xiangang hastily introduced to the strong man: "This is Director Hou of Yiyang New Management Committee, my close buddy. This is my comrade-in-arms He Zhu in Fujian. I am helping him sell building materials. The factory in the development zone belongs to him." Hou Weidong said politely: "Mr. He is welcome to invest in the new management committee. If you have anything to do, call me. My phone number is available right now." A thick gold necklace hung around He Zhu's neck. He had dark skin and a stocky figure. After shaking hands with Hou Weidong, he said, "Director Hou take care of me. I'm going to Yiyang every few days, and I'll treat Director Hou to dinner. "He didn't talk much, and after a few pleasantries, he lost his language. The sadness in Zeng Xiangang's eyebrows faded a lot, and he said, "Our sales center in Lingxi has been completed, and I will be in charge. It opened the day before yesterday and made a lot of money." He asked again, "Why are you also in Lingxi? ?” Hou Weidong nodded, and said vaguely: "Now I am in charge of attracting investment, and I often run around." Zeng Xiangang pointed upstairs with his hand, and said in a low voice: "There is a massage center upstairs, and they all provide three-point service. My sister is very well-behaved. After a long day, let's go relax together." Hou Weidong is now the secretary and director of the party group of the new management committee. He is a promising young cadre. He is much more vigilant than when he first joined the work. He felt that He Zhu was a bit of a quack, so he refused to follow him to the massage center, evading: " There are still people waiting for me upstairs, so I have to go up first." This statement was half true, Yang Dajin also lived in the Jinxing Hotel, but he did not wait for Hou Weidong. After entering the elevator, Zeng Xiangang pressed the button for the seventh floor, and Hou Weidong saw the instructions on the seventh floor, which was a massage center. "Xiangang, when you arrive in Lingxi, who will take care of Yiyang's shop?" "I will hand over the Yiyang store to Zeng Xianyong, and I will go back and have a look at it regularly." Zeng Xiangang handed over a business card and said, "This is my business card with my address on it, you must come to my store tomorrow Let's take a look. I've brought my son to Lingxi to change his environment." When he said this, he showed his usual gloomy expression. Back in the room, Hou Weidong couldn't help but think of the first time he and Zeng Xiangang invited the former finance chief of the Yiyang Transportation Bureau to dinner. At that time, Zeng Xiangang was completely helpless and cautious in the ballroom. With only one eye and a burly figure, he showed a bit of a manliness. The next day, he still found the Lingxi store according to the address on the business card. When he entered the store, he saw Zeng Xiangang standing in front of the counter and a slender young woman standing beside him.
