Chapter 571 [Timely Rain] (Part 2)
Xia Boda sneered in his heart, saying that it is you, saying that it is you, Xu Guangran, Xu Guangran, you change your face very quickly. Xia Boda's heart was filled with disappointment. He Changan's appearance eased the conflict that should have been rapidly intensified. This was not what he wanted to see.
Xu Guangran seemed to not want to continue on the matter of Deepwater Port. After a change of topic, he came to the preparations for the Provincial Games. He turned his eyes to Chen Hao and said, "How is the preparations for the Provincial Games?"
Chen Hao was obviously stunned. Although the city asked him to be in charge of sports work, Chen Hao was depressed during this period because of the matter in the Deep Water Port and did not ask about the matter there at all. Xu Guangran asked him this question. Chen Hao said, "It's going smoothly." This sentence is just right.
However, anyone could hear the perfunctory elements of his words, and Xu Guangran did not continue to ask. He had already realized that Chen Hao had not entered the role yet. The matter at Deep Water Port was a blow to him, and Chen Hao had not recovered from it.
Xia Boda said: "A star football match will be held this Sunday, which indicates the full launch of the Provincial Games. Director of the Provincial Sports Committee will be there to kick off the ball, and we have all received invitations from the Sports Committee."
Xu Guangran smiled and said, "Director Qu uses this ball, which means that our 12th Provincial Games has officially started." He said to Chen Hao: "Chen Hao, your responsibility is getting heavier and heavier."
Chen Hao smiled, very embarrassed. He also knew that Xu Guangran was kind-hearted and deliberately emphasized his importance and was pushing him forward. But no matter how much he emphasized it, it was obvious that the importance of the Provincial Games and the Deepwater Port was also incomparable.
When Xu Guangran saw Chen Hao's performance at this time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that being able to take over and let go is the most basic quality that a national cadre should possess. Chen Hao obviously lacks a lot in this regard. Every time this happens, Xu Guangran will naturally think of Chang Lingkong. If Chang Lingkong did not go to Lanshan, it might be a different scene. After all, reality is reality. Now the undercurrents within the leadership of Nancy are surging, and many people's mentality has changed. Xu Guangran has always been the mayor Xia Boda, but now he found that it is not Xia Boda who really threatens him, but the provincial party secretary Qiao Zhenliang. In the appointment of Gong Qiwei, Qiao Zhenliang has begun to actively intervene, which is definitely not a good sign, proving that Qiao Zhenliang is not satisfied with his leadership ability. Xu Guangran has become much more cautious, and he is ready to deal with the political crisis.
After the Standing Committee ended, Xu Guangran and Xia Boda walked together. Xia Boda smiled and said, "Secretary Xu, are you going to the star football match on Sunday?"
Xu Guangran shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to go, but my grandson celebrated his birthday and agreed to accompany him to the playground to play."
Shaberda said: "Boy, take it to watch the football together."
Xu Guangran smiled and said, "The playground is more attractive to children. We leaders cannot speak without keeping our words, right?"
Xia Boda laughed.
Xu Guangran said: "You go, Director Qu is here. The hospitality in Nancy should be more grand. Don't let others feel neglected."
Xia Boda nodded and said, "There is Chen Hao in the specific hospitality work."
The two were polite during the conversation, but no one took anyone seriously in their hearts.
It was only after this Standing Committee that Chen Hao realized that his main work had become sports. He now had to face the fact that the Provincial Games were about to be held. Although he was a leader, he had a great responsibility. When he returned to the office, he called Zhang Yang and asked Zhang Yang to come to his office.
Although Zhang Yang was a little disgusted with Chen Hao, he was the leader in charge now and he still had to do the trick on the surface. After receiving the call, he immediately set off for the municipal government.
Chen Hao’s attitude towards Zhang Yang was rarely kind this time: “Xiao Zhang is here, please sit down.”
Official Zhang was quite flattered: "What instructions do Mayor Chen asks me for?"
Chen Hao smiled and said, "It's nothing important. I just want to talk to you casually. The city asked me to be responsible for sports work. Of course, I have to ask you, the director of the Sports Committee, to learn about the situation."
Zhang Yang said: "What aspect does Mayor Chen want to know?"
Chen Hao said: "How are the preparations for the Provincial Games?"
Zhang Yang said: "The construction of the new sports center is already underway. Most of the projects currently underway are developed by developers. According to the contract, we have to pay some of the project funds after the sports center is completed."
Chen Hao was about to ask for money when he heard him open his mouth, and hurriedly interrupted Zhang Yang and said, "Don't talk about money for now. Do you think the new sports center can be completed within the specified time?"
Zhang Yang answered very affirmatively: "Yes! But now we have to find a way to get money!"
Chen Hao frowned. He didn't like Zhang Yang's way of speaking. It was too straightforward. He made money! Do you think you were doing business? Why is a national cadre so unstable? He suddenly remembered that Zhang Yang is now in the right place. Chen Hao said: "Money is not omnipotent. Although it is very important, money can only take the second place in the holding of the Provincial Games. The most important thing is to improve the cohesion of the people through the holding of this Provincial Games, enhance the pride of the people in Nancy and even the entire Pinghai people, and inspire everyone's patriotism."
Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Chen, I don't agree with what you said. If you don't have money, how can you build a new sports center? If you don't have money, what do we give athletes rewards and how can we pay coaches?"
Chen Hao said: "I'm not saying that I can hold the sports meeting without money. I'm saying that you have to understand what is the most important thing."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I only know that the most important thing now is money. Without an economic foundation, nothing is empty talk."
Although Chen Hao also thought that Zhang Yang said something, he was just not used to this guy's way of speaking, and it was too shallow! Chen Hao said: "You don't know that the city's finances are tense."
Zhang Yang said: "So I don't plan to ask the city for money!"
Chen Hao also got some understanding of his usual techniques: "Do you want to auction the torch relay right?"
Zhang Yang said: "It's not time yet, the auction is true, but what I want to auction is not the torch relay right, but..." When he said this, the guy deliberately breathed heavily.
Chen Hao was aroused by him: "What do you want to auction?"
"Land, stadium and sports committee."
Chen Hao widened his eyes: "What?" He never thought that Zhang Yang had the idea of this land.
Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Chen, I was very upset when Xingyue Group wanted to pick up the city and take away our land, but my level was here, and I couldn't speak for this matter. Now that He Chang'an is back, the funding problem of Shenshui Port has been alleviated, and the city doesn't have to agree to Xingyue Group's conditions. So, this land originally belonged to our Sports Commission. I think the Sports Commission should have the right to preside over the auction and get a certain amount of funds from it to use for the sports industry in Nancy City. Mayor Chen, is this reason so high-sounding enough?"
Chen Hao refused firmly and said, "No! The land belongs to the country, and the purpose must be unified by the city. You can't do whatever you want."
Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Chen, if He Chang'an does not come back, this land will be sold to Xingyue Group inexplicably. What is the unified planning and planning must also serve the development of Nancy City. If we can openly auction this land, we will hand over part of the money we get to the city and part of it for the convening of the Provincial Games. Wouldn't the difficulties be solved? If you are in charge of sports work, you have to stand up for us and make decisions for us."
Chen Hao said: "Xiao Zhang, don't you understand? The stadium is very sensitive now. The city finally turned over this page. It is not appropriate for you to propose it at this time."
Zhang Yang said: "What's wrong with it? Even if I don't mention it, there will naturally be people who mention it. Xingyue was thinking about this land and came up with 50 million to get it away. According to the news I received, there are still people who are interested in this land and are willing to pay 80 million. The relocation and development of the old stadium and the Sports Commission has become an inevitable trend. Since this is the case, it is better to be auctioned publicly. Some things cannot be avoided and will be faced sooner or later. Mayor Chen, I will give you the bottom line. The construction of the new sports center and the convening of the provincial sports meeting. There is a huge fund gap. I am now giving my face and asking for investment and sponsorship everywhere. But no one will give us money in vain. Just take the new sports center.
