This Standing Committee meeting was just the beginning of Duan Zetao's full control of Jiangnan Province. He soon began his second round of research. Different from the first low-key tour, Duan Zetao's research was very high-profile. Not only did he have a strong lineup, but he also included policy research. The office, government expert senior adviser group and other staff departments were accompanied by more than 30 people. The provincial daily newspaper and the provincial TV station also sent reporting teams to follow up the whole process.
During this survey, Duan Zetao put forward the slogan of "asking the people for governance and working together for the future of Jiangnan Province" and proposed the idea of ??integrating resources from various cities in Jiangnan Province to create multiple characteristic industrial economic circles. Following this, major media in Jiangnan Province also Many special discussions were held on this idea, which set off a wave of participation in politics in Jiangnan Province. The social response was very enthusiastic. Some economists said that this idea is very pioneering. If it can be implemented, it will improve the economy of Jiangnan Province. Go to a new level and create a new situation.
Zeng Qisheng was very angry about this. He went to Beijing many times to complain, saying that Duan Zetao barbarically interfered in the government's economic affairs and blindly seized power. He wanted to establish a one-spoken party and personality cult in Jiangnan Province and turn Jiangnan Province into his own world. Central leaders called Duan Zetao and reminded him to pay attention to the unity of the team and not to interfere in everything.
Duan Zetao once again convened the Standing Committee and proposed the establishment of a leading group for deepening reforms. Naturally, Zeng Qisheng strongly opposed this. He slapped the table several times to challenge Duan Zetao. However, during a show of hands to vote, he was disappointed to find that even the people who had been following him were disappointed. Xu Haisheng even switched sides and voted for Duan Zetao.
At this point, Duan Zetao truly realized full control of Jiangnan Province and began to implement his own reform plan in a drastic way. He made adjustments to the leadership teams of various cities. Contrary to what the outside world had speculated, Duan Zetao did not make large-scale promotions during this cadre adjustment. Instead, he rotated the standing committee teams of various cities, which not only maintained the stability of the original team, but also avoided the situation of local standing committee members clumping together and confronting top leaders. Therefore, although this adjustment also encountered some resistance, in the end it was Passed successfully.
Zeng Qisheng suffered setbacks at every turn in his confrontation with Duan Zetao. In particular, the mayor of Xingzhou City, Long Tingfei, whom he had always regarded very highly, was dismissed because he was suspected of accepting huge bribes in land transactions. This hit him even harder and made him somewhat disheartened. Get up.
Sitting in his spacious office, Zeng Qisheng was very disappointed. Usually at this time, his office would be filled with cadres who came to report on their work, but now these cadres have all gone to Duan Zetao. Thinking of this, Zeng Qisheng couldn't help but feel resentful. He banged his fist on the table.
At this time, Zetao suddenly walked into his office and said with a smile: "Comrade Qisheng, what's wrong? What makes you so angry".
Zeng Qisheng was stunned for a moment. Although he was at odds with Duan Zetao, he still had to work hard to save face. He quickly stood up and smiled unnaturally: "Secretary Zetao, why are you here? If you need anything, please call my office. I'll just go over the phone, why do you come here in person" After saying that, he hurriedly found a teacup and prepared to make tea for Duan Zetao.
Duan Zetao waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "Comrade Qisheng, please stop working. I'm not thirsty either. I've been in Jiangnan Province for so long, and I've been looking for an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart chat with you, but I haven't even bothered to do so. I came uninvited today".
Zeng Qisheng smiled unnaturally and said, "Well, Secretary Zetao, you are so busy. You have to take care of all the big and small things in the province. I am too embarrassed to disturb you".
Duan Zetao smiled slightly, as if he didn't understand Zeng Qisheng's barbed sarcasm, and said sincerely: "Comrade Qisheng, I know you have opinions about me. I admit that I have been involved in government affairs, especially economic development affairs, a little too much recently. Your hand is stretched too far. If you think about it from your perspective, if I were in your position, I would definitely have opinions"
Zeng Qisheng thought to himself that you also knew that your hand was stretched too far. He twitched the corners of his mouth a few times and said nothing. Duan Zetao glanced at him and continued: "I know if I want to tell you anything about team unity at this time, You will definitely scold me for being hypocritical, and I don¡¯t expect you to forgive me. I have always dealt with the situation rather than the person, and will never give up my principles in order to maintain a superficial harmony. I just want to tell you my truth frankly. My real thoughts, I think there is something wrong with your economic thinking of rushing to get ahead, blindly pursuing big projects, and lacking targeted long-term planning. Since I am the leader of Jiangnan Province, I must correct you and let Jiangnan Province return to its original state. Get on the right track of development"
Zeng Qisheng's anger rose to the ground. He thought to himself, "Why do you think that your thinking is wrong? Your thinking is correct. This is not arbitrary or dictatorial." His face was red, and he stood up and was about to talk to Duan Zetao. debate.
Duan Zetao waved his hand and said: "Let's not argue about this issue anymore. The argument can't have any results. Let the facts in the future determine.""Let's make a judgment. I think you must have a question in your mind, why Comrade Chu Lian has always been at odds with me, but he supported me at that Standing Committee meeting"
This sentence hit Zeng Qisheng's sore spot. It was Chu Lian's unexpected defection at the Standing Committee meeting that turned the originally evenly matched situation between Zeng Qisheng and Duan Zetao into a one-sided situation. Zeng Qisheng has always been puzzled by this. Answer, so he couldn't help but ask: "Yes, why,".
Duan Zetao smiled slightly and said: "Of course only Comrade Chu Lian knows the specific reasons best, but I can tell you some things that happened when Comrade Chu Lian and I were working together in Xinghua County. Maybe it will help you and me get along in the future. It can be of some help".
After hearing about Duan Zetao and Chu Lian's team building in Xinghua County, Zeng Qisheng also fell into deep thought. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. He and Duan Zetao are both strong people. According to the current situation, if he continues to fight with Duan Zetao, the one who will suffer in the end will definitely be He, Chu Lian, was mediocre in talent, but he was able to sit on the position of member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Provincial and City Party Committee, except because he had an uncle who was a provincial governor, and he was able to give up the confrontation with Duan Zetao and cooperate with Duan Zetao in the past. In the end, his experience in serving in Xinghua County became the most important political achievement of Chu Lian in his official career.
Seeing that Zeng Qisheng was touched, Duan Zetao stood up, patted Zeng Qisheng on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Comrade Qisheng, I don't care what others think of me, and I don't care if you are hostile to me, but I don't want you and me to If the conflicts between the two countries affect the development of Jiangnan Province, then you and I will be the sinners of Jiangnan Province"
