Steel Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 34: Peaches In Mouth

Ge Yongqiu and Zhou Yu have both left the city to take up new positions. Although Shen Huai’s organizational relationship has also been transferred to Xiapu County, no one in the city has rushed over to take back Shen Huai’s house.

In the next few days, Shen Huai handed over the room key to Chen Tong, and asked him, together with Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng, to take time to move all the things in his house to Meixi Town, and he went to the Xiapu County Party Committee Organization Department to report.

Meixi Town is next to Donghua City, and people in the town are accustomed to running to Donghua City for business; however, Shen Huai studied high school in Xiapu County for three years. The county seat is not unfamiliar; of course, there is not much familiarity.

To accept the pre-appointment talk from the Organization Department of the county party committee, Shen Huai lived in the county for a few days, which was considered a revisit.

Regardless of whether they knew or didn’t know each other, those who had hatred or had grudges, the county leaders at home and the heads of major county-level organs, Shen Huai was also led by comrades from the Organization Department to recognize their familiar faces.

The former county magistrate was transferred to Xinjin County as the secretary, and Ge Yongqiu just arrived in Xiapu County to serve as the deputy secretary of the county party committee and acting county magistrate.

On the afternoon of October 18, Shen Huai was led by the organization department to push the door in. Ge Yongqiu was directing the staff of the county government office to rearrange his office.

“There is a row of bookshelves here. I like furniture with a lighter color…” Ge Yongqiu pointed to a wall by the side window, waving his hand, as if he was trying to use a word to describe the bald middle-aged man in front of him. What a row of bookshelves feels like.

He could not explicitly ask for a high-end bookshelf such as mahogany, but only hinted at it with the elegant words ‘slightly darker”.

The staff from the Organization Department of the county party committee accompanied Shen Huai in, and respectfully reported to Ge Yongqiu: “Ge county magistrate, this is Shen Huai, the newly registered deputy secretary of the Meixi Town Party Committee, come here to recognize him…”

Ge Yongqiu’s face turned cold as he watched Shen Huai push the door and come in.

If it weren’t for Shen Huai, the county party secretary would be in his pocket.

As Ge Yongqiu, who has been immersed in Donghua officialdom for 20 years, of course he knows how deep the gap between the county party secretary and the county chief is, and of course he knows how many county chiefs in China are staring at the seat of the county party secretary. Although the seat of the county magistrate is not bad, his power is greatly restricted.

Not to mention the fistfighting incident at the city steel factory, just because Shen Huai was unable to serve as the county party secretary in one step, Ge Yongqiu would hate Shen Huai to the core…

Shen Huai didn’t realize it, he took the words of the Organization Department comrade and said with a smile, “I was a soldier under the county magistrate Ge in the city; now in Xiapu, I am a soldier under the county magistrate Ge; It is often said that I am the grandson monkey, but no matter how I jump, I can’t jump over the Wuzhi Mountain of the county magistrate…” Turning around, looking at Ge Yongqiu’s new office, he said with admiration, “Secretary-General Ge is a rare scholar-type cadre in the city. When you become the county magistrate, you still don’t forget to read. Mayor Gao’s office is also laid out like this, right? Is there a pot of wealthy tree by the windowsill?”

Hearing Shen Huai’s words, the more he continued, the more he felt that something was wrong, Ge Yongqiu hurriedly stopped him: “Oh, you finally came to report to Xiapu County, I have been waiting for you for half a month. Since we are old acquaintances, we If you are not busy reminiscing about the old days, you should visit Secretary Tao first…”

“Secretary Tao went to Hetang Town for research, and he won’t be back until the afternoon.” The staff of the Organization Department explained.

It’s not that Ge Yongqiu doesn’t hate Shen Huai, it’s just that he and Gao Tianhe can’t see the relationship between Shen Huai and Tan Qiping, nor can they see the transaction between Shen Huai and Wu Haifeng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, so Wu Haifeng can directly request through the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Xiapu County appointed Shen Huai to Meixi Town as the deputy secretary in charge of the economy.

Before Wu Haifeng gave up the throne of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the word “dai” on his title was removed, he would not act rashly or make any clear move towards Shen Huai.

****************

In the afternoon, Tao Jixing, secretary of the county party committee, came back from Hetang Town, and Shen Huai was notified to rush to his office to accept the conversation.

Tao Jixing has heard about what happened in the city’s steel mill.

This time Tao Jixing almost squeezed Ge Yongqiu out of the position of county party secretary. If Wu Haifeng didn’t force Ge Yongqiu to come forward, Tao Jixing’s best result would be to move to Xinjin or some other place as secretary.

To say that Tao Jixing was not vigilant and guarded against Ge Yongxing would be a lie.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Tao Jixing has a natural affinity for Shen Huai, so he ignores his excessive youth.

“When I returned to the city for a meeting last time, Secretary Wu mentioned you specifically, saying that you are an overseas talent introduced by the province, your expertise is economics, and you have your own ideas. He asked me to boldly burden young and capable cadres. ”

Tao Jixing’s hair is sparse and well combed. When his fat nose is talking, the wings of his nose will open exaggeratedly. Sitting behind Shen Liang’s desk, he talks to Shen Huai casually.

“When it comes to the economy and industry of Meixi Town, the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant accounts for a lot of weight. How about it? Are you afraid that the burden will be too heavy?”

Tao Jixing’s conversation made Shen Huai feel a little surprised.

He thought that the best result he could get from this conversation was to go to Meixi Town as the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, and to clarify the powers and powers in charge of industry and economy, but whether he could master the real power of Meitie Iron and Steel Plant would have to wait until he arrived in Meixi Town. fight again.

Shen Huai didn’t expect what Tao Jixing meant in his words, he actually wanted to move the seat of Meixi Iron and Steel Factory directly to him, which made him a little surprised…

If Tao Jixing’s arrangement is based on Wu Haifeng’s instigation, Wu Haifeng has to make a lot more than the transaction he promised at the beginning.

Could it be that Wu Haifeng has heard the rumors that Tan Qiping will be the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Donghua?

Could it be the chain reaction caused by the city’s steel fist beating Zhou Dazui?

The situation at the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is complicated and the problems are serious.

Take Yang Haipeng’s words, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is a **** pit, let alone save the fate of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant’s impending doom, and there are not many people who can jump in and get out cleanly.

Shen Huai made up his mind. After arriving in Meixi Town, he would start with the steel mill to open up the situation. That is because he would have Tan Qiping behind him, so he was not afraid.

However, Tao Jixing took the initiative to hand over the peach at this time, Shen Huai would not be so simple as to think that he and Wu Haifeng, who was hiding behind him, were good intentions…

“Secretary Tao attaches great importance to it, and I am willing to take up any heavy burden first.”

No matter if Tao Jixing is good or bad, since the peach was handed over, Shen Huai had no reason not to eat it first.

Seeing that Shen Huai did not hesitate, Tao Jixing agreed, his eyes narrowed slightly, he laughed, and said:

“Well, young people should have such courage and responsibility. You came to the county to report at an unfortunate time, and the party secretary of Meixi Town, Du Jian, just came over two days ago, otherwise you can both be called to Let’s have a heart-to-heart talk here. I have already communicated with Du Jian and He Qingshe about your work after you arrived in Meixi Town. I came to you to confirm again…”

Although Meixi Iron and Steel Works is a collective enterprise under the jurisdiction of Meixi Town, generally speaking, the appointment of steel mill management personnel should be recommended by the town party-government joint meeting.

However, as one of the few large-scale enterprises in Xiapu County with total assets of nearly 100 million, it is also a collective nature. It is obviously impossible for the county not to interfere in the appointment of factory managers.

The result of the multi-party balance is that the management personnel of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant are discussed and recommended by the town party and government joint meeting, but they must be approved by the county before they can be formally appointed. Under the tradition of political centralization in China, a considerable part of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant’s personnel appointment power is actually in the hands of the county.

****************

After talking with Tao Jixing, even if the organizational procedures for the transfer are completed, they are waiting to go directly to Meixi Town to officially take office.

Shen Huai didn’t stay in the county anymore, and returned to the city that night. He still couldn’t understand some issues, and he needed Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong to take a look at it for him.

“The story about you in the city steel mill in mid-September has almost spread in the city. Now many people say that if the deputy mayor Chen did not die unexpectedly, the city steel mill would probably give the first deputy mayor Chen. Take it out for surgery; I believe Wu Haifeng, Gao Tianhe, and other city leaders also have this idea…”

Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong directly pulled Shen Huai to talk about things in the woods behind the Tongzilou.

Here Xiong Wenbin can also smoke a few cigarettes with his wife Bai Sumei on his back. He doesn’t think Wu Haifeng and Tao Jixing will directly push Shen Huai to control Meixi Steel Plant for no reason.

Shen Huai was blowing out the smoke ring, looking at the small pond with green grasses floating outside the woods, he had guessed that it might be the after-effect of the punching Zhou Dazui incident, and said, “I directly hinted to Wu Haifeng to go to Meixi Town, no matter what. Whether it is to make money or to make political achievements, there is no better goal in Meixi Town than Meixi Iron and Steel Plant. Wu Haifeng should think he has seen through me, so he took the initiative to make such an arrangement. He handed out this peach, not afraid that I will not Eat it.”

“If Tao Jixing’s arrangement was inspired by Wu Haifeng, it would not be difficult to understand,” Xiong Wenbin continued, “The Donghua steel industry is still controlled by people from Gao Tianhe. Many other steel sales channels are directly controlled by Gao Xiaohu, Gao Tianhe’s son…”

“Meixi Steel Plant, about 60-70% of its output, is directly eaten by the trading company controlled by Gao Xiaohu.”

Zhao Dong is sitting on a fallen tree root. He has officially handed in his resignation letter to the city steel plant. These days, he mainly does a few things, that is, he inquires about the purchase of raw materials, technical production and product sales of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant in all aspects. Case,

“The employees of Meixi Steel Plant are very resistant to this, but their arms can’t twist their thighs. From Du Jian down, the managers of the steel plant, as long as they can get benefits, don’t mind talking to Gao Xiaohu and Zhou Zhibai. You are embarrassed. I guess, Wu Haifeng installed you directly in Meixi Steel Factory through Tao Jixing. First, he guessed that you had the intention to intervene in the steel factory. Second, he pushed the boat to make trouble with Gao Xiaohu and the others. Third, it was convenient for them to escape smoothly. …”

For the past month, Shen Huai spent most of the time hanging out with Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong. In addition to his own family background, Chen Mingde told him everything that happened before and after his unexpected death, so that they could help analyze the situation more accurately.

Shen Huai nodded, agreeing with Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong’s judgment, and said: “Looking at the worst, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant seems to be unable to last in the past two years, but when it is really closed down and liquidated, it will always find one or two scapegoats. Come out, otherwise there is no way to explain to all parties. At this time, it may be Wu Haifeng and Tao Jixing’s purpose to put me on the shelf and let their people retreat safely. ”

The director of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is none other than Du Jian, secretary of the town party committee.

In Donghua City, where economic development lags behind, township and county cadres have few ways to make money. Mastering a township enterprise with an asset scale of nearly 100 million, even if it falls into operational difficulties, can actually make more money than ordinary county leaders. many.

Without Tao Guoxing’s strong intervention, how could Du Jian easily give up his seat at the Meixi Steel Plant?

During this time, Shen Huai, Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong had almost thoroughly studied the situation of Meixi Steel Plant.

The corruption and corruption of Meixi Steel Plant itself in the production process is not particularly serious. The most serious thing is the vampires who bit the body of Meixi Steel Plant one by one.

The steel sales of Meixi Steel Plant are controlled at low prices by many steel trading companies, including Gao Xiaohu, the son of Mayor Gao Tianhe.

As for the material company specializing in supplying furnace materials to Meixi Steel Plant, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com is not someone else, but a trading company controlled by the Zhou family. Of course, there are many relatives of officials in Donghua City and Xiapu County, including Tao Jixing’s nephew. of shares.

The short-flow process adopted by Meixi Steel Plant is to put scrap iron and scrap steel into the furnace, melt it into molten iron to make steel ingots, and then produce formed steel products. No matter what the level of production management is, if the price of the charge is artificially raised, and the price of the product is deliberately lowered, how much profit margin is left for the factory?

Meixi Steel Works has been operating at a loss since 1987 or 1988.

Thanks to the support of officials behind the scenes such as Wu Haifeng and Tao Jixing, and the background of vigorously developing township enterprises across the country, Meixi Steel Plant can still obtain a steady stream of loans from banks to maintain operations even if it loses money.

Shen Huai didn’t know the relationship between the Zhou family and the municipal party secretary Wu Haifeng in the past, but now he can understand why Wu Haifeng supported the loss of Meixi Steel Plant in 1989 and expanded its production capacity to ten years through bank loans. tons.

In fact, it is to allow the peripheral related blood-sucking enterprises to **** more blood-colored profits from Meixi Steel Plant.

Last year, the central government and the State Council tightened the money supply of major banks and vigorously rectified the banking system. Huaihai Province took the lead in piloting the reform of the tax-sharing system in the whole country. The method of maintaining business operations through loans could no longer be maintained, and Meixi Steel Works immediately fell into a series of consecutive losses. The predicament of not being paid.

The Meixi Steel Plant is already running out of blood and will be forced to close down, and Wu Haifeng wants to lose power. Tao Jixing also almost transferred out of Xiapu County this time. For them, safe evacuation has become the first step. one.

Otherwise, when the Meixi Steel Plant shuts down, if someone prompts the relevant departments to intervene in the investigation, they will not have enough power to cover up their crimes.
