Material Empire

The working group took a quick look at the flowers in Xingchuan, but did not obtain substantive information. Guo Qiushi, the deputy director of the government office, was seriously injured in a car accident while protecting Qin Hai, the deputy head of the working group. He was rushed to the military hospital in the provincial capital by the ambulance of the county hospital for treatment. This is the information Gao Xuejian got.

Before Qin Hai left Xingchuan with his working group, he met Gao Xuejian again. During the meeting, he expressed extreme anger at the situation of small iron and steel everywhere in Xingchuan County, claiming that the problem was serious, bad in nature, and had a wide-ranging impact, but what Gao Xuejian heard from his narrative was something else, that It's just that Qin Hai didn't actually get into those small factories at all, because what he said over and over again were actually well-known things, and there were more things he saw in just a few newspapers.

Wang Yue, director of the government office sent by Gao Xuejian to comfort Guo Qiushi, had a short conversation with Guo Qiushi before he was carried into the ambulance, and the information he got was similar to Gao Xuejian's guess. Guo Qiushi said that Qin Hai led a rather large working group and went to many places, but wherever he went, he just waited and watched outside, and did not dare to enter the village for in-depth visits.

Regarding Guo Qiushi's injury, Wang Yue also asked the doctors at the county hospital to learn about it, and learned that Guo Qiushi's arm was badly injured and swollen. Because Qin Hai was worried that the doctors in the county hospital were too poor, he resolutely refused to let the doctors conduct an in-depth examination on Guo Qiushi, so the doctors could only judge his injury from the appearance.

When Qin Hai met Gao Xuejian, he repeatedly stated that if Guo Qiushi hadn't come forward, Qin Hai's own life would be in danger. Qin Hai also made a strong request, hoping that Xingchuan County could set off a campaign to learn from Comrade Guo Qiushi, and give Guo Qiushi a real reward.

"Wang Yue, what do you think of this matter?"

After sending Qin Hai and Guo Qiushi away, Gao Xuejian asked Wang Yue.

"Old Guo's injury must be true. I've seen it, and there are a lot of scratches on his face and arms...Old Guo also got lucky and saved the deputy leader of the working group. This credit can be credited." It's really not small." Wang Yue said enviously.

What Guo Qiushi can comprehend, Wang Yue can naturally think of. For Guo Qiushi's achievements, all kinds of rewards from top to bottom are indispensable. For people in the officialdom, the biggest reward is the promotion of the administrative level. Guo Qiu is now at the sub-subject level, even if he only mentions one, he is on an equal footing with Wang Yue. If the reward proposed above is higher, it is not impossible for Guo Qiushi to be directly promoted to the rank of deputy director based on this credit. Suffering a little bit of flesh and blood, and going up two levels in a row, this is really a very cheap thing.

Gao Xuejian didn't care about this. He asked with a dark face, "What do you think is the purpose of this person named Qin?"

"Let's just go through the motions?" Wang Yue said, "I think he is quite young, and he is probably a key cadre trained by the Economic and Trade Commission. If he comes down for a visit and submits a report, he has practical experience, and he will be able to improve when he goes up."

"Tell me, did he get our county's hole card?" Gao Xuejian asked.

Wang Yue shook his head: "I don't think so. Haven't we already greeted the people below? No one from below has reported that the work team has been to the village or the factory. I asked Lao Guo and Zhang Peng from the criminal police team They, they said that they have gone to many places with the working group these days, but the working group has always stood on the hillside to take pictures, or asked a fellow villager on the side of the road to ask questions, and did not go to the village. It is said that it is Qin Haixia The order was to avoid conflicts with the villagers."

"Huh!" Gao Xuejian made a voice through his nose, "He must be worried about himself. Of course, a young cadre with such a bright future would not take such a risk. Besides, in case of a conflict, even if his personal safety is not If he is hurt, it will not be good for him to spread the news. These officials above will not use their future to knock us bumpkins."

"That's that, that's that." Wang Yue echoed.

Gao Xuejian said: "However, it is impossible for him to go this trip without making any noise. I think, after he returns, he will definitely hand in a report and make a mess of our Xingchuan affairs. When the time comes, the province, the There will definitely be new requirements from the city, and we have to make some preparations."

"This kind of thing, there is only loud thunder and little rain. Anyway, it is not the first time. We have already experienced it." Wang Yue said disapprovingly.

No wonder Gao Xuejian and Wang Yue are slow, there are too many things like this. The rectification of small iron and steel has been tossing for several years. The province and city have come to investigate more than ten times or eight times. Which one has achieved results? Qin Hai gives people the feeling that he is a young official of the ministry who is successful at a young age but not down-to-earth. Gao Xuejian believes that with his own experience, it is not a problem to play tricks on such an official.

When Gao Xuejian and Wang Yue were confidently preparing to deal with the follow-up matters, Qin Hai had already returned to the capital with his team. Cui Hongchun specially arranged time to listen to his report, and he brought along Xin Jinlong, Ge Dongyan and Heizi who participated in the investigation together.

"These are all good friends of mine, and they have done a lot of things together in the past. When I went to the South to manage the rare earth industry last time, I was with them." Qin Hai introduced to Cui Hongchun.

"Hello Director Cui." Several people saluted Cui Hongchun together. Among them, Xin Jinlong was the most excited and embarrassed. Of course, the excitement was because he saw such a big cadre. As for the embarrassment, it was because Qin Hai had been beautifying him too much just now. When Qin Hai rectified the rare earth industry, Xin Jinlong was Qin Hai's mascot.

Cui Hongchun nodded to everyone, said hard work, then sat down and began to listen to Qin Hai's report. After Qin Hai finished speaking, Heizi added some information he had. These days, he took a few buddies to hang out in Xingchuan's rural restaurants, made friends with many local idlers, and learned a lot of official secrets in Xingchuan County. The information he got and the information Qin Hai got in the small factory complement each other, outlining the complete context of the long-term existence and development of the small iron and steel industry in Xingchuan County.

"Government and business collusion, unscrupulous builders provide a lot of demand, small iron and steel involves the employment and livelihood of tens of thousands of people, so that the government is wary of rats, and there are evil forces behind the scenes to provide protection, inciting public opinion at every turn to put pressure on law enforcement officers... …All these factors combined make the small iron and steel in Xingchuan an indestructible and indestructible steel fortress." Cui Hongchun concluded.

"That's right, just like the Weihu Mountain written in the novel, if you attack rashly, the whole army must be wiped out in the end." Ge Dongyan echoed. Cui Hongchun didn't feel cramped at all in front of a senior official like Cui Hongchun.

Hearing Ge Dongyan's speech, Cui Hongchun asked with great interest: "Xiaoge, you are a soldier. Tell me, how did you fight against such a fortress?"

"It depends on the situation." Ge Dongyan said, "Commander Yue told us about the war in the past. He said that if a fortress like this has an inside line, it can cooperate with the inside and outside. It is best to attack from the inside; if there is no inside line, you can Surround yourself first, carry out psychological warfare, let the enemy lose their fighting spirit, and then carry out a strong attack; if the psychological warfare fails, or the time is too tight, there are times when it is hard to attack, there is no fortress that cannot be attacked in the world, it is just to see who can bear it It's just the price."

"Well, that's a good point." Cui Hongchun nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, what do you think about it?"

Qin Haidao: "If you want to gnaw it hard, of course you can gnaw it. I have contacted those small bosses, and they said that if the government dares to ban them, they will do their best. But in fact, they have been With some wealth, they are no longer as carefree as they used to be when they started from scratch. Because they have property, they are more likely to worry about gains and losses. As long as our governance is strong enough, their resistance is only temporary and nothing to fear."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xin Jinlong intentionally or unintentionally. Xin Jinlong looked embarrassed, and he must have remembered the scene when Qin Hai led troops to raid his small rare earth mine.

Cui Hongchun didn't notice these small actions of the two of them, but commented with a smile: "But this is not how you Xiaoqin do things, is it?"

"That's right." Qin Haidao, "It's too rude to do this. Although most owners will choose to give in, if they encounter resolute resistance, it will inevitably cause group incidents, which is not good for stability. Besides, this method cannot let people Convinced, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. After the rumors pass, these small factories will revive again, and we cannot have so much energy to fight guerrilla warfare with them.”

"That's right." Cui Hongchun said, "Over the years, various places have taken crackdown actions, and each time they reported that hundreds of businesses were banned and closed down, but after the incident, they returned to their old ways. What you said is palliative The judgment of not treating the root cause is very accurate, and to really knock down the small iron and steel, we must find a permanent cure.”

Qin Haidao: "Director Cui is right. I led a team to do research this time, just to find out if there is a solution to the root cause. According to my observation, in fact, most small business owners are not willing to do this kind of work for the rest of their lives. Seeing people's livelihood, some factory managers even said that it is unconscionable to produce such inferior steel strips. If an accident occurs because of the use of such low-quality steel strips, it is their sin, God They will not be spared lightly.”

"Since they know this, why do they still do it?" Cui Hongchun asked a little dumbfounded.

"At first it was because of poverty, later it was because of greed, and then it was because of following the crowd." Qin Haidao, "It is not too much to punish these people for their bad deeds. But they are not incurable, as long as we can give them Given the opportunity, it is entirely possible for them to change their ways."
