Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 2005 has arrived quietly.
In early spring in March, there is still a hint of coolness in the air. At the exit of the highway in Qingtian County, Shaanxi Province, a group of officials were standing here, looking towards the west, as if waiting for something.
Standing at the front of all the officials is a gentle young man. He is probably in his early thirties and has a thin body. He looks a bit bookish at first glance, but if you notice his eyes, he will give people a deep and scheming look. It feels like one can understand the truth with just one look.
This young man is none other than Tang Jie, the newly appointed Municipal Party Committee Secretary of Qingtian County. He had only been here for half a year. Before that, he had been working in the Central Office as a secretary to a certain central leader. This time he was directly appointed as the secretary of the county party committee of a county, which can be regarded as the official start of his official career.
If you don¡¯t come to the grassroots level, you don¡¯t know the complexity of the grassroots level. Although Tang Jie is a Beijing official and has a strong background, in the past six months, his work has not been as smooth as it seems to outsiders. Local officialdom has the characteristics of local officialdom, and it took Tang Jie several months to gradually adapt to it. Fortunately, now, he has almost regained his footing, and it's almost time to kick the head three times.
Today, he brought several major leaders of the county to the highway intersection for his first big move when he came here - attracting investment.
It stands to reason that attracting investment is a matter for the government, and the secretary's main task is to recruit personnel and grasp the party and the masses. However, in today's officialdom, the economy is a hard lever and a hard indicator. Whether it is a superior or a subordinate, it is used to evaluate whether an official has the ability. , in addition to seeing whether he can stand his ground and has the skills, it also depends on his ability to pull projects. With projects, a place's economy can develop rapidly and political achievements can be achieved, and officials have the capital to be promoted. Anyone who has been in the officialdom will understand this truth.
Therefore, today Tang Jie also sponsored Qingtian County, where he works. However, his sponsorship was quite generous.
Because the person he was sponsoring was the Legend Group. And today, the chairman of Legend Group will come to Qingtian County in person to discuss cooperation matters with the local government.
Although Tang Jie and Liu Yufan were very good friends in private, and Liu Yufan had helped Tang Jie a lot before, this time Tang Jie invited Tang Jie, although it was also private, but it was more because of work. Therefore, Tang Jie did not skimp on the reception standards at all, and the reception staff he brought out could be regarded as the highest standards in Qingtian County.
Of course, Liu Yufan is indeed worthy of Qingtian County's such a posture. Not to mention his status as the uncle of the Chen family, his legendary group is also one of the top companies in the country. Although it is not a state-owned enterprise, it has greater strength than state-owned enterprises in the country. Even if it invests anywhere, the local officials must treat him with respect.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a very eye-catching motorcade came from a distance on the highway.
Looking around, more than twenty Mercedes-Benz S600s were escorting a specially made bulletproof Rolls-Royce Phantom. In a small place like Qingtian County, it is rare to see such a luxurious fleet on weekdays. It attracted many people on both sides of the highway. of citizens stopped to watch. Fortunately, there were police officers helping to maintain order, otherwise the intersection would have been blocked.
"This kid is getting more and more arrogant." Looking at the motorcade, Tang Jie laughed silently. Thinking about a few years ago, this boy was still a little guy in front of me who needed to be taken care of by himself. In the blink of an eye, he had grown into a towering tree that he needed to look up to. Even though he has the support of the chief minister behind him, he is a figure valued by the country. Tang Jie knew that Liu Yufan's identity was far more important than him.
"Haha, Brother Tang, I'm so sorry for asking you to wait for me here. You are the county magistrate now. I can't bear this gift." As soon as he got off the highway, Liu Yufan got out of the car, laughed and said Tang Jie shook hands. He was a businessman at the moment. Although his words were a little uncouth, no one held him accountable. The county leaders standing behind Tang Jie saw that their secretary and the nationally famous Liu Dong was so familiar, but I was very impressed.
"It depends on what you said, haha, you are our God of Wealth now, be nice to you, and you will invest more in our Qingtian in the future. We are a poor place here, but we are looking forward to big bosses like them coming. Yeah." Tang Jie said with a smile. His words sounded a bit like official talk. Tang Jie is no better than Liu Yufan. He has been in high-level official circles for several years and has become a master. These words were sneakily chosen just right. They appear affectionate without losing his identity. They are very appropriate.
The two chatted for a while, and Tang Jie introduced the county leaders behind him to Liu Yufan. Then they both got in the car and drove towards Qingtian County.
Tang Jie sat downThere were no outsiders in Yufan's car, so the two of them chatted much more casually.
"Haha, brother, you have to help me out this time. Now you are the chairman of the world's top large group. When you come to my acres of land today, you can't just talk." Tang Jie Said with a smile.
"Brother Tang, look at what you said, what is the relationship between us? Do we still need to talk about this? Anyway, the group's business is in the expansion period now, and there is an urgent need to build new production lines. They will be built wherever they are. Since you have a need here, then It doesn't matter if it's built here, but the relevant procedures will trouble you. We don't want to take advantage of the country, we just ask those officials not to come here every now and then." Liu Yufan said jokingly.
"You, you, you, you have really developed a good tongue after staying in this mall for a long time. Haha, don't worry, can you still let your brothers suffer when you are here, Brother Tang?" Tang Jie said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while and then came back to the topic of Siying. Siying was Tang Jie's childhood best friend and Liu Yufan's wife. She was also in politics now, so the two of them had more topics surrounding her.
Siying is now the deputy mayor in charge of commerce in Jianghai City. For more than a year, with Liu Yufan's full assistance, her official career has been smooth sailing. The procedures she should follow have not wasted any time and she has made exceptions. They all fell down at once. Because of this, she was able to successfully advance to this position at the age of less than thirty years old. Although it caused some controversy on the Internet at the beginning, when her achievements were revealed, those who were not convinced shut their mouths. Not to mention anything else, in less than a year after she was transferred to Jianghai Commerce Bureau, the total amount of projects she successively attracted for the city was no less than 2 billion yuan. This number is almost as much as Jianghai's total last year and the year before. With the support of Liu Yufan, a strong backer, even without the strength of the old Chen family, she could rise as fast as a rocket. Moreover, her performance in the past year or so has indeed been remarkable. She has gradually gained the recognition of her family, and gradually some political resources have begun to be tilted towards her. The hard work of both parties has made her what she is today.
"It's hard enough for Siying alone. As an old man, I have a headache every day when I face these bad things, let alone her. Yufan, you have to help him more." Tang Jie sighed with emotion. said.
"I know, Brother Tang, in fact, given our current situation, Siying doesn't have to work so hard, but she has always been a strong girl, and things she believes in will not change easily. Besides, her identity is there, These are also responsibilities that she must shoulder, and I have no choice but to try my best to give her more help." Liu Yufan said with emotion.
At the Qingtian County Government Auditorium, Tang Jie held a grand welcome ceremony for Liu Yufan and the Legend Group he represented. During the subsequent project negotiations, Liu Yufan was also very cheerful and quickly agreed to invest 500 million in Qingtian County. Build a foundry. This factory mainly produces a series of electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets for Legend Technology. It can contribute more than 50 million yuan in tax revenue to Qingtian County every year. This is a huge blessing for Qingtian, which is still at the level of a poor county. When the contract was signed, all the officials in Qingtian looked happy.
After a grand reception at noon, Tang Jie and the director of the county party committee personally accompanied Liu Yufan on a tour of Qingtian County.
Qingtian County is an ancient city with many old-style buildings. Although the whole city looks less modern, it is clean and tidy. Liu Yufan became excited after seeing it. When he reached Wenhua Road, he stopped the driver and got out of the car, and started strolling on the street.
Tang Jie and Fang Daping, director of the county party committee office, followed Liu Yufan, introducing him to the local customs and customs from time to time along the way, and Liu Yufan nodded repeatedly. The three of them strolled around freely, but they suffered a lot from those who accompanied them. Liu Yufan's identity was of no small importance. These two were also big bosses in Qingtian County. They couldn't afford any mistakes made by any one of them.
Bookstores, Internet cafes, piano stores, billiards halls, and Cultural Road are indeed full of cultural atmosphere. Although they are just ordinary small stores, they are decorated in an ancient style, giving you a fresh and leisurely feeling of a small town.
While he was walking around, Liu Yufan suddenly stopped. His eyes stopped at the door number of a shop.
"Legend Art Education and Training Center" Looking at this familiar name, Liu Yufan raised a smile on his lips and walked over there.
"Ha, I didn't expect that I can see your branch here, okay Xiaofan." Tang Jie looked at the brand and naturally knew that he opened this store, and joked.
"Brother Tang, don't get me wrong. This name is a legendary name, but the store is not necessarily a legendary store. Most of them are listed.
"Liu Yufan said with a smile, and then walked into the store.
As soon as he entered the store, the sound of a fierce quarrel reached his ears. (To be continued
