Chapter 567 [Wind Direction] (Part 1)

Fan Siqi said: "No matter what you think, I always regard you as a friend."

Zhang Yang said: "As a friend, I would like to advise you that on the issue of deep water port, you and us have a cooperative relationship, a mutually beneficial relationship. You should not put forward too much conditions. If you want to cooperate for a long time, you must respect each other."

Fan Siqi said: "I have always respected you very much. Now your government has gone back on its word."

Zhang Yang said: "The most common saying in China is that money is not omnipotent."

Fan Siqi said, "But some people say that it is absolutely impossible to have no money."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "So you use investment to make a fuss, and use the Deepwater Port to threaten us to sell this land to you at a low price."

Fan Siqi said: "It's not just me who benefited from this land when it develops."

Zhang Yang said: "Do you really think we can't find a more suitable collaborator than you?"

Fan Siqi looked at Zhang Yang, as if she had known him for the first time. She whispered: "It seems that I shouldn't have come."

Zhang Yang said: "Ms. Fan refers to whether she shouldn't come to Nancy or the Sports Commission."

Fan Siqi smiled and shook her head and said, "You are right. Maybe I shouldn't have confused our friendship with business." She stood up and said goodbye.

Zhang Yang sent her out, and Fan Siqi waved her hand and said, "No need to send her, I will think about this matter carefully."

Fan Siqi returned to the car, her face turned cold as ice. Lin Peipei saw that she was in a bad mood and did not dare to disturb her. After the car drove out of the sports committee, Fan Siqi said, "Go to see Mayor Chen."

Lin Peipei whispered to her: "Chen Hao is no longer responsible for the Deepwater Port anymore, what's the use of finding him?"

Fan Siqi said: "I came to Zhang Yang not to ask him to help me, but to prove something."

Lin Peipei blinked her bright eyes and said softly: "What's the matter?"

Fan Siqi said: "In the past, I knew that China's domestic politics and factional disputes were everywhere. Now it seems that this is true. Zhang Yang and Gong Qiwei are the same faction, while Chen Hao is another faction."

Lin Peipei said: "Factionary disputes either overwhelm the west wind or overwhelm the east wind. What we have to do is business, so why bother with their political struggles?"

Fan Siqi said: "How is it possible if you want to do business in China without understanding their politics?"

Chen Hao was not surprised by Fan Siqi's visit. The first thing Gong Qiwei did after he took power was to postpone the transfer of the stadium land. This incident obviously angered Fan Siqi. Fan Siqi's first words after seeing Chen Hao were to express dissatisfaction: "Mayor Chen, I always think that the most important thing in business or doing things is to pay attention to integrity. You have agreed to transfer the right to use the land in the stadium to us, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Chen Hao said: "Miss Fan, I am no longer responsible for the Deepwater Port."

Fan Siqi said: "Mayor Chen, my answer disappoints me. If you treat us investors like this with such an attitude, how can we feel at ease to invest in Nancy?"

Chen Hao said in his heart: "Whether you invest or not, it has nothing to do with me now. The city asked me to take care of sports. The Deepwater Port has given Gong Qiwei. It would be better if you don't invest. I want to see where Gong Qiwei got this money?" He hoped that the matter of Deepwater Port would be a big deal. Gong Qiwei replaced him as the commander of the Deepwater Port. The blow to him was huge. Chen Hao never thought that Gong Qiwei was better than himself. He believed that this time the matter was the result of Gong Qiwei making small moves behind his back. Chen Haoran sighed and said, "Ms. Fan, I hope your investment will not be affected by the division of labor within the leadership of our Nancy City. No matter who is responsible for the Deepwater Port project, our policies will not change." Chen Hao was still very good at speaking with his high-sounding clichés.

Fan Siqi said: "It won't change? I originally thought that I had signed a land transfer contract today, but now it has changed. Isn't this called change? It's just a matter of changing the order every day."

Chen Hao said: "Miss Fan, don't worry, I will find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Mayor Gong. Don't worry, the things decided by the city will not change easily."

Fan Siqi said: "Mayor Chen, I also want to negotiate business calmly, but your current approach is simply disrespectful to us investors. I have decided to suspend all investment in Nancy before the transfer rights of the stadium plot is reached."

Fan Siqi's words did not surprise Chen Hao, but when he heard it, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Chen Hao was the deputy mayor of Nancy City after all, and he still cared about the image and dignity of Nancy City. Fan Siqi's intention to use the Deepwater Port to threaten the Nancy City Government is already very obvious.

Fan Siqi also saw Chen Hao's displeasure and explained: "Mayor Chen, please don't get me wrong. I am not targeting the Nancy Municipal Government. I just expressed my dissatisfaction in this way. I hope that all leaders can pay attention to this matter and try to consider the interests of our investors."

The theme of the Standing Committee on that day revolved around this matter. At the request of Xu Guangran, Vice Mayor Gong Qiwei attended the Standing Committee specially. Gong Qiwei was fully mentally prepared before coming to attend the meeting.

The face of the municipal party secretary Xu Guangran looked very bad. In fact, he has been very unhappy these days. The actions of the provincial party secretary Qiao Zhenliang disrupted his original layout on the deepwater port. He thought that concessions on the stadium plot could allow the deepwater port to survive the crisis smoothly, but now it seems that the crisis in the deepwater port is becoming more and more serious.

Xu Guangran said: "Everyone should have known that according to the focus of our city's work, we have made reasonable adjustments to the work of some comrades. Given that the 12th Provincial Games is coming, we must submit a satisfactory answer to the province before the opening of the Provincial Games. Time is tight and the task is heavy. After careful consideration, Comrade Chen Hao will take charge of sports work and serve as the chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 12th Provincial Games." Xu Guangran made such a long preparation, and his purpose was to help Chen Hao save face. However, no matter how nice he said, others still understand that Chen Hao was demoted. No matter how important you, Xu Guangran, said the sports career, the Provincial Games and the Deepwater Port are not the same level. Everyone knows which is more important.

Chen Hao looked at Xu Guangran gratefully. Xu Guangran was protecting his face, and Xu Guangran was unable to recover this change in work.

Xu Guangran glanced at Gong Qiwei: "The command of the Deepwater Port Project is temporarily entrusted to Comrade Qiwei."

All the Standing Committee members noticed that Secretary Xu used the word "temporary" to mean that this matter is full of variables?

Gong Qiwei knew that although he attended the Standing Committee today, he did not have the qualifications to speak, and he mainly played the role of a listener.

Xu Guangran didn't mean to let him speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea ceremony: "Now let's talk about the problems that arise in the Deepwater Port. For a period of time, the Deepwater Port has been troubled by financial problems. We have also tried a lot and tried to successfully solve the current difficulties that the Deepwater Port has encountered. Everyone knows that Xingyue Group has agreed to the second phase of investment to be put in place soon, but they have also put forward a condition to ask us to sell the old sports venue plots to them for commercial development purposes. We have also discussed the specific situation. At the Standing Committee meeting two days ago, we also raised our hands to vote on this matter." He turned to Chen Hao and said: "Chen Hao, you were responsible for this project at that time, please explain this matter again."

Chen Hao said: "I have nothing to say about this matter, I just want to tell everyone that Xingyue Group has decided to suspend all investment in Nancy."

Xia Boda frowned. He felt that it was necessary to say something at this time. Xu Guangran and Chen Hao's speeches were pushing the dilemma encountered by the deep water port onto Gong Qiwei. Xia Boda did not want to speak for Gong Qiwei. There were already conflicts within Nancy. Gong Qiwei's rise to power was by no means accidental. He wanted to add fire to the already chaotic situation. Xia Boda said: "Xingyue Group repeatedly used funds to threaten us. This is a challenge to the dignity of our government. Their real intention was to threaten us!"

Li Peiyuan, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, said angrily: "I have said a long time ago that we should not have made concessions on the matter of stadium plots. A multinational consortium uses such methods to be a rogue. The more we do this, the less we cannot make concessions."

Xu Guangran smiled. The matter at Deepwater Port had become more and more troublesome. He didn't believe that Gong Qiwei could solve it. He coughed gently and said, "Comrade Qiwei, you are now responsible for the Deepwater Port project. What suggestions do you have?" In one sentence, all the focus was on Gong Qiwei.

Gong Qiwei stood up and said, "Thank you Secretary Xu for giving me this opportunity to attend the meeting. Since the city has decided to hand over the command of the deepwater port project to me, I must bear the deepwater port project. I just accepted the deepwater port and have some immature ideas about the future construction of the deepwater port. Today, I would like to say it boldly in front of all the Standing Committee members. I hope everyone will criticize and correct the wrong things." Gong Qiwei showed considerable modesty in front of the Standing Committee members.

No one spoke at the Standing Committee Member. This time, Gong Qiwei took command of the Deepwater Port, which was too sudden. There was no sign before. Almost everyone knew that Xu Guangran had never valued Gong Qiwei. Why did he suddenly use him? Most members of the Standing Committee have their own information channels. It has been concluded through inquiries from multiple sources. This time, Gong Qiwei's sudden rise has a direct relationship with the province, and Xu Guangran was unable to reverse it. Xu Guangran's words just now were full of suspicion and questioning Gong Qiwei, but Secretary Xu didn't make it clear.

Gong Qiwei did not mean to sit down. He was not a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. He was invited to attend the meeting today. He also knew that Xu Guangran gave him this opportunity to speak was not to support him, but to attack him on this matter. Gong Qiwei stood up and spoke to show respect for all the members of the Standing Committee, and to focus everyone's attention on himself.

Gong Qiwei said: "I will first explain a few key points. Deepwater Port is a key construction project in our Pinghai Province. Its importance is unquestionable. The investment amount involved is huge and the prospects are bright. I think no one objected to the above points."

Xu Guangran frowned, not understanding what Gong Qiwei said about these well-known things.

Gong Qiwei said: "The financial situation of Nancy City and the amount of funding allocated by superiors determine that the construction of our deep-water port must rely heavily on foreign investment. Our previous decisions also revolve around this principle. It is precisely because of the importance of foreign investment that our policies for investors are relatively relaxed. Here I remembered a sentence, Chinese people often say that they are soft-mouthed and soft-willed. The construction of deep-water ports is short of money. We want to use foreign funds and attract foreign investment. Our Nancy Municipal Government is very polite to them, but our kindness does not win the respect of the other party, but gives them an illusion that we have something to ask for and think that they can decide the future of the deep-water port." Gong Qiwei paused and smiled and said: "In fact, this is an illusion. They overestimated themselves, but underestimated the strength of our government, underestimated the development of China's economy, and underestimated the overall economic strength of the southern Pinghai region."

Xu Guangran had already anticipated what Gong Qiwei wanted to say, and his brows became more and more powerful.

Gong Qiwei did not immediately give up the suggestion of jointly developing a deepwater port with Lanshan. He has been paying attention to Xu Guangran's expression. He continued: "Xingyue Group uses investment to make repeated mistakes. This is not a good sign. Today they have taken a fancy to the stadium plot and used funds as conditions to threaten us. I don't know that I have taken a fancy to that place again tomorrow, and I will use the same trick again. Sometimes, these investors are really like disobedient children. If you indulge him and feel sorry for him, they will not think you are tolerant, but will only recognize you.
