Material Empire

Zhang Yanqiu couldn't beat Qin Hai, so he fled. Back at the city hall, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He went directly to Wang Hongliang's office, told Wang Hongliang about Qin Hai's arrival in Yiping, and said, "Mayor Wang, Qin Hai is a well-known big entrepreneur in China. He has been received by several leaders of the central government, and the city has always regarded him as a distinguished guest. I was afraid that if things got stalemate, the city would be passive, so I didn't argue with him too much. Do you think it's appropriate for me to handle it this way? ?”

Wang Hongliang understood Zhang Yanqiu's meaning, he nodded and said: "Yanqiu, you are right to deal with it this way. With President Qin's status, we really shouldn't have a direct conflict with him."

"He has been emphasizing administration according to law, saying that the resolutions of our city government office meeting have no legal effect. Isn't that too arrogant?" Zhang Yanqiu asked again.

Wang Hongliang smiled wryly, and said: "He is not arrogant, but he has caught us. I have contacted Mr. Qin several times, and I think he is very reasonable and has no airs. However, this time It’s true that we overdid it, and it’s normal for him to react like this.”

Zhang Yanqiu said: "But our government itself also has the right to enforce the law, such as environmental protection, industry and commerce, and the cultural law enforcement brigade, all of which can enforce the law."

Wang Hongliang said: "That's the problem. If we can find out where the Daqin RX project's environmental protection is not up to standard, or if we can find out other places that don't meet the regulations, we can naturally enforce the law against them. But now, we are simply groundless. , After all, this is the opinion of the municipal party committee, forcing us to make a decision. How can there be any legal basis for such a decision?"

In terms of closing the RX project, Wang Hongliang and Guo Shuqing have different views. Guo Shuqing strongly advocated the closure of this project. If possible, he even wanted to close all industrial projects in Yiping City. On the other hand, Wang Hongliang is completely opposite. He is not in favor of closing down the RX project, and hopes that Yiping can have more such large projects with an investment of tens of billions, because only in this way can Yiping's GDP leap to a new level.

Closing the RX project is Guo Shuqing's promise in front of the public. Although Wang Hongliang was annoyed by Guo Shuqing's rash statement, but in the face of the overall situation of "maintaining stability", he was not good at playing against it, so he could only come back to organize a government office meeting to implement Guo Shuqing's promise. Only then did the notice requesting the shutdown of the RX project come into being. .

In fact, as early as when Wang Hongliang told Zhang Yanqiu to issue the notice, he had a premonition that Qin Hai would personally act and muddy the water in this matter. It now appears that his hunch was completely correct.

"Then what should we do now?" Zhang Yanqiu thought he couldn't figure out what was going on, and he didn't bother to think about it. He just asked Wang Hongliang for countermeasures.

"You make arrangements, please invite Mr. Qin to come to the municipal government tomorrow..." Wang Hongliang ordered, halfway through speaking, he suddenly shook his head and said, "No, I have nothing to talk to him about, so we don't need to invite him over. How about this, I'll give him a call now to catch up."

When Qin Hai came to Yiping several times before, he left Wang Hongliang his mobile phone number. Wang Hongliang didn't need to memorize the phone numbers of those small bosses in the county, but he had to memorize Qin Hai's phone number. He picked up his mobile phone, found Qin Hai's number in the address book, and dialed it.

"Hey, is this Mr. Qin? When did you come to Yiping? Why didn't you let us know beforehand? We can arrange someone to pick you up... What, no? Haha, Mr. Qin is being polite. Come here brother, you are completely different... Oh, oh, you mean the RX project, there are indeed some new situations, but the government still supports the continued construction of the RX project, Mayor Ma and I The opinions are the same. Now the main reason is that Secretary Guo still has some doubts about this project... Yes, yes, I think it is better for President Qin to communicate with Secretary Guo more. He is from the provincial political research office, and his theoretical level is very good. Gao, you and Mr. Qin should have a common language..."

Wang Hongliang called Qin Hai politely. After closing the phone, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Evil people need to be tortured by evil people..."

Guo Shuqing was obviously not as enlightened as Wang Hongliang was, and he agreed immediately after receiving Qin Hai's call asking for a meeting. In fact, Qin Hai's request was expected by Guo Shuqing. Facing the fate of being forced to stop a big project, it would be strange if Qin Hai didn't negotiate with the city.

The meeting between the two parties was arranged in the meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee. When the agreed time came, Qin Hai walked into the Municipal Party Committee compound alone without any entourage. Qin Hai came to the conference room.

"President Qin is really young. Although I haven't had any contact with President Qin in the past, I often see the deeds of President Qin. When Secretary Chen of the province visited the political research office, he specifically explained that we need to study and summarize Mr. Qin's successful experience encourages entrepreneurs in this province to take the road of technological innovation." Guo Shuqing opened his mouth, first complimented Qin Hai, and lightly pointed out his own background, implying that he was able to strike up a conversation with the secretary of the province of.

"Secretary Guo's name is very famous to me. I have always heard that Secretary Guo was a famous pen when he was in the provincial political research office. Now that he is in charge of Yiping, he is also constantly innovating in ideas, which has brought a lot to Yiping. A new atmosphere." Qin Hai said with a smile, but in fact, it was just a waste of words.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for ten minutes before Qin Hai stopped talking and asked, "Secretary Guo, I took the liberty to visit you this time because after I arrived in Yiping this time, I heard some rumors and wanted to invite Guo The secretary confirms."

"Oh, what are the rumors? Does it have something to do with me?" Of course Guo Shuqing knew what Qin Hai wanted to say, but before Qin Hai spoke, he still had to pretend to be confused.

Qin Haidao: "I heard that some time ago, the citizens of Yiping, worried about the safety of the Daqin RX project, petitioned the municipal party committee and the municipal government. Some irresponsible leaders in the city made a promise to them, saying that The RX project is going to be shut down forever, does Secretary Guo know about it?"

What "certain irresponsible leaders" is clearly me, Guo Shuqing!

Hearing Qin Hai's words, Guo Shuqing felt like cursing others. Qin Hai clearly knew that it was Guo Shuqing who made the promise, but he pretended not to notice it, and said that it was done by "irresponsible leaders". But people did not directly name Guo Shuqing, and it was inconvenient for him to get angry, so he could only nod his head and say, "I've heard about this matter, and under the circumstances at that time, if I didn't say that, I'm afraid it would lead to a large-scale riot." There was a mass incident, and the leaders of the city did this out of the need to maintain stability."

"So, this was just an expedient measure at the time?" Qin Hai asked with a smile still on his face.

Guo Shuqing hesitated for a moment, then said: "Well... this is not just a stopgap measure, but a decision made by Yiping City. After all, this promise was also made by the city, so we can't change it overnight."

"Then Yiping City approved our construction of the RX project in the past, and now it suddenly announces that it will be closed permanently. Does this count as a sudden change?" Qin Hai looked at Guo Shuqing and continued to ask.

Guo Shuqing can only see the tricks. He said: "One is a mass incident, the other is an engineering project. The nature of the two incidents is different, and they cannot be simply compared. Mr. Qin should know that our local government's task of maintaining stability is very important. Importantly, if large-scale mass incidents occur, we must take leadership responsibility."

"So you can announce the closure of our RX project casually?" Qin Hai sneered, pressing forward step by step.

"This can't be considered casual." Guo Shuqing was not unprepared. He said, "This matter has been discussed at the city government office meeting and approved by the municipal committee. How can it be considered casual?"

Qin Haidao: "May I ask Secretary Guo, is there any legal basis for the resolution of the city government office meeting?"

Guo Shuqing said: "This is at least a local policy."

Qin Haidao: "Local policies cannot be above the law. Secretary Guo should understand this, right?"

How could Guo Shuqing not understand this, he just didn't expect that someone would use the law to challenge him. He said: "We can make up for the legal procedures. However, the city also has considerations in passing such a decision. The main purpose is to eliminate mass incidents, and stability is above all else. Please understand this point. "

Qin Hai smiled and said, "I don't understand Secretary Guo's words. Stability is above all else. Can you understand it this way?"

"How do you understand?" Liu Zhengfang, the head of publicity who accompanied the meeting, couldn't listen any longer, and interjected: "Because your RX project has caused mass incidents, if the municipal committee doesn't announce the closure of the RX project, how can it calm the public's doubts? Stability, we can make any concessions, if your company suffers a little economic loss, what's the point?"

Qin Hai looked at Liu Zhengfang and asked: "Minister Liu, you just said that you can make any concessions for the sake of stability. You are engaged in propaganda work. Let me ask you, if the masses want to occupy the TV station and broadcast what they think is appropriate, Liu Will the Minister also agree?"

"How is this possible!" Liu Zhengfang knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she had to desperately explain, "How can a project be compared with a TV station? The TV station has the function of a mouthpiece, so how can it be handed over casually."

Qin Hai said lightly: "It seems that stability does not overwhelm everything. At least Minister Liu knows that the mouthpiece cannot be handed over, even for the sake of stability. The central government requires local governments to maintain stability. There is nothing wrong with this policy, but Stability maintenance also has principles, and this principle is the law. No one can be above the law, you Secretary Guo and Minister Liu can't do this, and neither can those who engage in populist demonstrations.

Therefore, some leaders of the municipal party committee made the decision to permanently close the RX project without authorization, which is a serious violation of discipline. As for the resolution passed by the city government, it is a serious illegal administrative act. As the owner of the RX project, I made a solemn representation to Yiping City. "

When he said the last sentence, his eyes became sharp.
