Chapter 603 [Faith] (Part 1)

Deputy Mayor Wang Haibo said: "I think this matter should be handled carefully. Mayor Xia said it well. Now everyone is trying to invest. Who will drive investment out? Although Xingyue Group's approach is wrong, they have now admitted their mistakes. Nancy is in a time of vigorous reform and opening up, and its finances are still very nervous..."

Gong Qiwei interrupted him and said, "If a person has no principles, he will not be recognized by others. If a government has no principles, he will lose his credibility. Shang Yang's reform in the Qin Dynasty. At the beginning of the reform, he first established integrity. If you want others to be honest, first we must be honest. Our government will fulfill all the promises." Gong Qiwei raised the contract in his hand and slowly fell on the table: "The purpose of holding them accountable is not to punish them, but to tell all businessmen that the majesty of the government cannot be provoked!"

Xia Boda didn't say anything because he felt that Gong Qiwei's words made some sense, but if he really did what he said, it would probably cause an uproar.

Li Changyu said: "I first came to Nancy and didn't know about this matter, but according to this contract, Xingyue Group has indeed violated the contract. According to the contract provisions, we have the right to terminate the contract." He smiled and said to Gong Qiwei: "Comrade Qiwei, it seems that you want to teach Xingyue Group a lesson for a day or two. Because it was not determined in the early stage that Lanshan and Nancy jointly developed the deep water port, you have been patient. Until now, Nancy has been decided, and Lanshan jointly developed the deep water port. The funding problem that may have troubled Nancy in the past no longer exists, and Xingyue Group's investment has just exceeded the deadline, so you raised this matter."

Gong Qiwei smiled embarrassedly. He did have such an idea.

Li Changyu said: "I don't know the Deepwater Port project. Comrade Qiwei, if the investment from Xingyue Group is used to build a Deepwater Port, would it be much more expensive than the joint development of our and Lanshan?"

Gong Qiwei nodded and said, "Not only the cost is much greater, but they will also make a lot more profit from it in the future. Although Lanshan also has a lot of it, the money will be taken from the people in the end and used by the people. They are all contributing to the rise of China's economy. Xingyue Group wants to take the money to Singapore. I can say responsibly that the future returns of Deepwater Port must be rich. It is not that we don't give these investors the opportunity to make money, but that the opportunity is given to them. They don't want it, so that the opportunity slips away in vain. Breach of contract has caused the facts. As the saying goes, there is a price to do anything. When they use investment to threaten the Nancy Municipal Government, they did not realize what they would lose!"

Xia Boda whispered: "I need to discuss this matter with Secretary Xu, so be careful." He coughed and said: "Let me talk about Comrade Changyu's division of labor." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Kong Yuan came here this time and conveyed the meaning of the province very clearly. He was responsible for presiding over the overall work of the municipal government, responsible for finance, taxation, audit and key economic work.

Li Changyu is responsible for the executive work of the municipal government, the government’s legal system, development and reform, supervision, human resources and social security, preparation, state-owned assets supervision, statistics, investment promotion, public administrative services, prices, arbitration and other aspects, and assists him in charge of finance and taxation work. Xia Boda explained Li Changyu’s division of labor clearly, and then smiled and said: “I hope that in the future, our government team will work more effectively. I also believe that the arrival of Comrade Changyu will bring a fresh air to our city government.”

After the meeting, Li Changyu and Gong Qiwei came together. When Gong Qiwei saw him, he politely called him: "Hello Mayor Li!"

Li Changyu smiled and said, "Qiwei, does foreign investment account for a large proportion of the construction of deep-water ports?"

Gong Qiwei said: "It's very big, so once there is a problem with the investment, it will make the entire project passive and will also put our government in a passive state."

Li Changyu said: "Do you want to take this opportunity to change the investment ratio of Deepwater Port?"

Gong Qiwei looked at Li Changyu in surprise. He found that the new executive vice mayor was very good. He did not reveal his real intention today, but Li Changyu still found the key to the problem. Gong Qiwei smiled embarrassedly: "Let Mayor Li see through. I do have this purpose. There is an old saying that meat is rotten in the pot. In the early stage, a major project such as Deepwater Port introduced a large amount of foreign funds due to various reasons. The subsequent work also proved that this approach has disadvantages. This time they just gave us a chance. I think we should fully seize this opportunity to make changes, adjust the investment ratio reasonably, and strive to protect the interests of the country to the greatest extent."

Li Changyu said meaningfully: "Qiwei, have you ever thought that if you do this, you will offend many people?"

Gong Qiwei said: "It is the party and the country that put me in this position. I cannot just be an official and not do things. I always believe that my bottom line is the interests of the country. Anyone who touches this interest is something I cannot tolerate."

Li Changyu nodded without saying a word. His eyes turned to the distant sky. He felt glad from the bottom of his heart that Nancy had cadres like Gong Qiwei, and he believed that Nancy's future must be bright.

Xia Boda dared not take the decision on the matter proposed by Gong Qiwei. Years of secretarial work have made him develop a bad habit. Whenever he encounters a major event, the first thing he thinks of is asking for instructions. Although he is unhappy with Xu Guangran from the bottom of his heart, he still wants to tell Xu Guangran about this matter. His purpose is to shirk responsibility.

After hearing about this, Xu Guangran was silent for a long time, his fingers crossed together, and his two thumbs split and reunited rhythmically.

Xia Boda said: "Secretary Xu, what do you think about this?"

Xu Guangran did not indicate his attitude. He smiled and said, "Berda, you should first talk about your opinion."

Xia Boda said: "This matter is really hard to deal with. Gong Qiwei said it well. Those investors should teach them a lesson, but it seems a bit too much to tear up the contract and drive them away from the deepwater port project. I am worried that doing so will cause panic among investors. Now all over the country are busy with investment, but we have to drive away the already-determined investment..." Xia Boda did not continue to say the following words.

Xu Guangran sighed and said, "Berda, do you think that Gong Qiwei likes to show off too much?"

Xia Boda didn't say yes or no. In fact, he had the same view as Xu Guangran in his heart. He whispered: "Gong Qiwei still has some ability."

Xu Guangran said: "I didn't deny his ability, otherwise I wouldn't have given him such an important matter as the Deepwater Port Project."

Xia Boda said: "I heard that Secretary Qiao appreciated him very much." Xia Boda began to instigate him.

Xu Guangran said: "Speaking of this, Lanshan and Nancy should make great contributions to the development of deepwater ports!" Xu Guangran no longer concealed his disgust towards Gong Qiwei. Provincial Party Secretary Qiao Zhenliang interfered in the government's division of labor and asked Gong Qiwei to be in charge of the deepwater port. The real reason behind this was that Gong Qiwei's cooperation and development plan touched him. Xu Guangran also heard that Vice Premier Wen came to Nancy this time. The reason why Lanshan and Nancy proposed to cooperate with development was because of Gong Qiwei. Although he did not have any definite evidence, he believed that Gong Qiwei was very stubborn and he had always advocated this matter. As long as he had the opportunity, he would promote his views. Xu Guangran even believed that his current passive situation had a considerable relationship with Gong Qiwei. The fact that Lanshan and Nancy's cooperative development fait accompliment was equivalent to denying his previous efforts for the deepwater port and also diminishing his political achievements.

Of course, Xia Boda could hear Xu Guangran’s implication. He smiled and said, “Everyone wants to achieve results. For young cadres like Comrade Qiwei, it is understandable that they are eager to achieve results.”

Xu Guangran secretly scolded Xia Boda's old fox, thinking that you fucking like playing Tai Chi and don't want to take any responsibility. Now that Li Changyu is here, you can continue playing like this and be careful to play yourself. Xu Guangran said: "You should deal with this matter. I don't have much trouble with your government affairs." Xu Guangran will also play the ball. It's not just Xia Boda who will shirke responsibility in this world. If it were in the past, Xu Guangran might call Gong Qiwei to question a few words, but now he is not in that mood. He believes that Gong Qiwei's reform of the Deepwater Port is exactly what the province expects to see. If he stands up and opposes at this time, it will only further deteriorate his relationship with the Provincial Party Secretary Qiao Zhenliang. Compared with the matter of Deepwater Port, Xu Guangran attaches more importance to his political destiny.

When Xia Boda heard Xu Guangran pushing the matter to him, he also realized that Xu Guangran's situation is not good now, and he dared not make any big moves.

Xia Boda thought to himself: "You don't want to care, I don't want to care yet. Gong Qiwei is trying to make trouble, so he can do it. At that time, there will be problems with Nancy's investment promotion. Let's see who will clean up this mess."

Xia Boda didn't want to take this responsibility, so he remembered Li Changyu, aren't you the executive vice mayor? It's your turn to do this. Xia Boda immediately found Li Changyu and asked Li Changyu to have a good talk with Gong Qiwei. He gave two opinions. First, it is right to establish the government's majesty, and it should be taught some lessons to these investors. Second, you must master the right measure and not beat the investors to death with one stick. If you kick someone out, who will come to our Nancy investment in the future?

However, what should happen is always going to happen. Li Changyu not only did not convince Gong Qiwei, but instead stood firmly on Gong Qiwei's side. He believed that Gong Qiwei's decision was correct. A government must be principled. Only in this way can it establish credibility. Gong Qiwei has always been a persistent and responsible person. He immediately made a unilateral cancellation of the contract to invest in the deep water port with Xingyue Group, and at the same time officially sent a lawyer's letter to Xingyue Group to submit compensation.

Xingyue Group was obviously stunned by this heavy blow from the Nancy Municipal Government, and other investors, large and small, became frightened because of this incident. Even He Changan felt that the limelight was wrong. On the day he learned that Xingyue Group was kicked out, he hurried to Nancy from Dongjiang. The first person he visited was Zhang Yang.

When He Changan found Zhang Yang, this guy was chatting in the newly formed information center.

The information center is progressing smoothly. Tang Tang invited by Gao Lianming is very high. In just a few days, he helped them compile an information management system.

Zhang Daren is an idiot in computers. Today he came to give Tang Tang a special ibm laptop for 28,000 yuan. He said it was Pentium, but Zhang Yang didn't understand. Anyway, he felt that such a small piece of stuff was more expensive than a larger desktop computer.

Tang Tang did not refuse either. The gift she gave to her happened to be what she needed, so she accepted it with a smile.

When Zhang Yang was chatting with them, He Chang'an arrived.

Zhang Yang invited He Chang'an to his office because he had just moved here and the office was very messy. Fu Changzheng was tidying up inside. Seeing that Zhang Yang had a guest, he poured tea for them and went out.

He Changan sat down on the sofa, looked around Zhang Yang's office and said, "It's very simple!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "The city has decided on the temporary office location. The sports committee and the old stadium are officially auctioned before the end of the year. Let's move the office location in the past two days. I borrowed this building from Li Guangnan, so I don't need money."

He Changan looked out through the window at the Nanyang International Hotel and whispered: "Li Guangnan of Nanyang International?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it's that Singapore businessman."
