Material Empire

The one who can't sit still is naturally Guo Shuqing.

Although Guo Shuqing did not write the idea of ​​"de-industrialization" into the documents of the municipal party committee, he has mentioned this concept many times in some informal occasions and made it his policy policy. In front of so many people, Qin Hai claimed that "de-industrialization" was a sugar-coated bullet thrown by the West, which was equivalent to punching acupuncture points in the air, and gave Guo Shuqing a resounding slap in the face. Many of the people at the venue worked in various government departments. Who didn't know that Secretary Guo had always advocated 'de-industrialization'.

When Qin Hai said this, he didn't mean to slip up on purpose, he really meant it for Guo Shuqing. Guo Shuqing indiscriminately announced that he would close Daqin's RX project forever, which already violated Qin Hai's fundamental interests. Of course, Qin Hai would retaliate and give Guo Shuqing an answer. As for whether offending the local emperor will bring hidden dangers to the future operation of the RX project, Qin Hai is not worried. At this point, does Guo Shuqing still want to stay in Yiping?

The live action of this group arena was broadcast on the national TV station's focus program the next day. The RX turmoil in Yiping has attracted the attention of the people across the country a few days ago. China Television is now broadcasting the live confrontation between the Daqin Group and the Blue Sky Organization, which can be regarded as a follow-up report on this turmoil. Jiang Baiyi, a reporter from China Television who came to Yiping with Qin Hai, was not cheap either. She knew that Qin Hai was pointing fingers at Guo Shuqing in his speech, so she specially interviewed Guo Shuqing and asked him to talk about the issue of "de-industrialization".

In the edited program, Guo Shuqing and Qin Hai seemed to be asking and answering. On one side, Guo Shuqing impassionedly said that deindustrialization is the concept of Yiping’s future development, while on the other side, Qin Hai mockingly pointed out that deindustrialization is the idea of ​​the West. conspiracy, followed by the embarrassment of Gusev and Ekin after they were exposed. Jiang Baiyi also kept the scene where the people in Yiping applauded Qin Hai with a wicked sense of humor. Those bursts of applause were like slapping Guo Shuqing in the face.

"It's too much! This is completely misinterpreting the intention of our municipal party committee!"

Watching the recorded and broadcasted focus program in the office, Guo Shuqing was so angry that he couldn't help but smash the tea mug on the table onto the TV screen.

"This matter, should we contact China Television to express our protest." Propaganda Minister Liu Zhengfang timidly suggested. In fact, she also knew that China TV would not care about their protest at all, and she said this just to let Guo Shuqing relax.

Lei Guangcheng, the deputy secretary, reminded: "From the news from the City Security Bureau, Gusev and Ekin have already explained to the security department that they took advantage of the Warren Group's China Representative Office to hinder Daqin RX The security department deported them for the crime of commercial espionage for the construction of the project. Now it seems that we were deceived by Gusev and the others, and it would be inappropriate to protest to China Television at this time."

"What's the matter with Xu Yang from the Science and Technology Bureau? Why didn't he find out about such a thing!" Guo Shuqing said. At this time, he also had to find a scapegoat.

Lei Guangcheng got down and said: "I'm afraid it's not that Xu Yang didn't find out about this, but that he deliberately misled our municipal committee. Regarding the feud between Xu Yang and Qin Hai, Secretary Guo, have you heard of it?"

Guo Shuqing nodded and said, "I have heard that if this is true, then Xu Yang's character is very bad, and he is completely unsuitable to stay in a leadership position."

"The municipal government already has this idea, and we will confirm this matter at the next mayor's office meeting." Lei Guang Chenghui reported, and then he asked: "Secretary Guo, what should be the next step for Daqin's RX project?" what to do?"

"It's not easy..." Guo Shuqing frowned. Since the last lecture, the opposition of Yiping residents to the RX project has basically disappeared. Occasionally, there are a few stubborn people who dare not speak in public, because they will be ridiculed as middle-of-the-road. Poisoned or brainwashed. It is said that someone on the Internet even made up a jingle, called some stupid people in contemporary society, including those who protested against the construction of substations in the community, worried about the radiation of telecom base stations, and believed that the RX project would be built 100 kilometers away. You think, when everyone is laughing at the idiots, you are still excitedly opposing the RX project. Isn't this obviously self-inflicted humiliation?

Ordinary people no longer raise objections to the RX project, and if the government launches an attack on the RX project, some of them will come out of nowhere. However, after all, Guo Shuqing made a promise in front of everyone, saying that he would close the RX project forever. The dignified secretary spoke loudly and lingered for three days. Now that he has denied these words, how can he meet people in the future?

At this time, the phone on Guo Shuqing's desk rang, and Liu Zhengfang and Lei Guangcheng quickly avoided it. Guo Shuqing picked up the phone, just gave a feed, and immediately stood up with a solemn expression. This was a call from his old leader in the province.

"Shuqing, I heard that you have been promoting the idea of ​​'de-industrialization' since you arrived in Yiping. This sign is not right." The tone of the old leader was full of reproach.

"Secretary Zhao...I just want to change the concept of excessive pursuit of GDP growth." Guo Shuqing said timidly.

The old leader ignored Guo Shuqing's justification, and continued: "The speech you delivered in Yiping was sorted out and sent to me. In addition, your handling of the RX incident in your city this time is arbitrary. It is too hasty to publicly announce that the RX project will be closed forever without knowing the truth."

"This...mainly because the matter was more urgent at that time..." Guo Shuqing said.

The old leader sighed and said: "It seems that you still lack experience in grassroots work, and the party in charge is still too reluctant for you. Well, I think you should go back to the province to work and do some theoretical work. Research work may be more suitable for your personality."

Guo Shuqing's face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted anxiously: "Secretary Zhao..."

The voice of the old leader became serious: "This matter has already attracted the attention of the higher authorities. The head made instructions on the relevant internal references, specifically pointing out that we can never follow the path of 'de-industrialization'. Industry is the backbone of China. , any view that advocates de-industrialization is wrong. Mr. Ji also made a speech on an occasion, saying that some people were deceived by the rhetoric of the West and did things that self-destructed the Great Wall. Such cadres must never be allowed to stay. In leadership positions at all levels. Do you understand what all these speeches mean?"

"So it's like this..." Guo Shuqing's heart finally sank to the bottom.

Guo Shuqing left Yiping with the regret of unfulfilled ambition. His successor learned his lesson and contacted Daqin Group as soon as he took office. On the one hand, he apologized for the decision made by the city to close the RX project, and on the other hand, he put on a sincere gesture and asked Daqin Is there anything the group needs assistance from Yiping City. This man knew very well that only a small part of the reason for Guo Shuqing's failure was his inappropriate handling of group incidents, and most of it came from his grievances with the Daqin Group. A little more understanding of Daqin Group's contacts will tell that this is not a company that can be provoked casually.

The one who felt the same way as the leaders of Yiping City was Bernice, the chief representative of Warren Company China Representative Office. The farce in Yiping was all caused by his director, and Gusev and Ekin were just extras he hired. When he first heard about the anti-RX group incident in Yiping, Bernice was ecstatic and thought he had a plan. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the news that Gusev was being targeted by the Chinese security department came, which made Bernice break out in a cold sweat.

The turmoil in Yiping was quickly calmed down, but Bernice's troubles had just begun. The Chinese government released the news that Gusev and Ekin were deported on suspicion of commercial espionage in a high-profile manner. As soon as the news was released, it immediately attracted the attention of major media around the world. The reporters are all capable. It didn't take long for someone to dig out the connection between Gusev's trip and the Warren Group, and to report the fact that the Warren Group spent money to buy peace over the years. It was also shaken out, and it immediately pushed the Warren Group to the forefront.

By this time, Bernice could no longer stay in China. An order from the headquarters had been sent to the Chinese representative office, asking Bernice to hand over his work immediately and return to Germany for questioning. If nothing else, he will receive the harshest punishment for acting without authorization.

"Mr. Bernice, I am really sorry to see such a thing. Personally, I have always believed that you are a very good leader. It is unfair for the headquarters to treat you like this." While arranging the files, he said hypocritically. In fact, Bindeman was the happiest one to see Bernice, who was once arrogant, being unlucky.

Bernice understands Bindman's mentality, but now, he has no mood to argue with Bindman. He said coldly: "What we all need to care about now is not my personal honor or disgrace, but the interests of the Warren Group in China... No, I even want to say that it is the future interests of the Warren Group in the world."

"Why, do you think the group's global strategy will be affected by this incident?" Bindman asked sarcastically.

Bernice shook his head and said: "This incident is just a small episode. If you have heard Qin Hai's speech in Yiping, you will know that the Chinese have great ambitions. They are not willing to succumb to the Europeans. , they want to have the same voice as the Europeans, and even... they hope to replace Europe one day. I asked the Blue Sky organization to come to China to stop their efforts, but unfortunately, I It's a failure, and it's our collective failure."
