Chapter 2544 Became a battlefield of struggle Although He Baoguo is the provincial governor, he cannot just respond to such a big thing. At the very least, he needs the strong support of one person. , that person is Zhou Yongfu, the current secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He Baoguo had just arrived, and if he couldn't get Zhou Yongfu's support, he wouldn't be able to do what he wanted to do. In this matter of overall safety, He Baoguo was not angry and blindly followed Chen Kangjie's thoughts and opinions. However, he could not pretend not to have seen such a report issued by the National Geophysical Research Center. He still had some scientific knowledge. sex and scientific value. If he ignores it, if it happens, not to mention how Chen Kangjie will treat him, in terms of conscience, he will become a sinner of the whole province and even the people of the country, and his self-blame and shame will make him restless for the rest of his life. So, He Baoguo took the research report given by Chen Kangjie to Zhou Yongfu's office to report to him and discuss it. If the first and second leaders reach a consensus on this matter, it will become easier to persuade other comrades in the party. However, when Zhou Yongfu saw such a piece of information presented by He Baoguo, he sneered a little. "Comrade Baoguo, you have just come to Xichuan, and you may not have a deep understanding of our Xichuan. Although our Xichuan has many mountainous areas, geological disasters do occur from time to time, but earthquakes are still strong and powerful. Earthquakes have rarely happened in the history we know" "Secretary Zhou, but the report of the National Geophysical Research Center" He Baoguo did not completely believe Chen Kangjie, but he was very optimistic about Zhou Yongfu vetoed it so rashly, and he didn't really agree. "Comrade Baoguo, the report of the National Geophysical Research Center is just a guess. Scientists all over the world have a problem, that is, they like to exaggerate. It seems that if they don't do this, they cannot show their ability and importance. They themselves I am researching this. I am not surprised at all that there is such a report. It would be surprising if they said that there will be no major earthquakes in our country in the future. That does not mean that they deny their importance. There will be none. Why does the government allocate so much funding to them every year after a major earthquake?" Zhou Yongfu threw a cigarette to He Baoguo and said casually. Zhou Yongfu will not study the contents of the report in detail. He only needs one thing, that is, that situation should not happen now. He only needs the province to develop stably for another year or two. He will retire in another year, and whatever happens next will have little to do with him. But now, if people's hearts are unstable and society is tense, it can't be separated from him. He is still the secretary of the provincial party committee and the leader of the provincial team. Of course, there is another point. Zhou Yongfu regards this as a power struggle between him and He Baoguo. ¡°If someone else had brought it up, Zhou Yongfu might not have been so indifferent, but if it was He Baoguo who brought it up, his reaction would be completely different. Now that He Baoguo has just arrived, he has not yet established his own team, and he has not yet grasped many rights. But if Zhou Yongfu also believes and supports this research report, then another situation will arise. To prevent that kind of tragedy from happening and to minimize disaster losses, a series of actions must be taken, such as personnel training, infrastructure construction, science popularization, material hoarding, immigration relocation, etc., which will involve Various aspects and fields. Most of these tasks are the responsibility of the provincial government, and He Baoguo also raised this matter, so it will naturally be implemented by him systematically. As long as he takes the initiative to implement this matter, he will have a lot of power in his hands. In a short period of time, Zhou Yongfu is not willing to see this situation arise. No one who is the leader wants their rights and authority to be challenged. Zhou Yongfu knows He Baoguo well. He Baoguo is not a newcomer who has just reached the provincial or ministerial level. He is already a veteran, and his qualifications are not much worse than his. If He Baoguo now has solid rights, then even if Zhou Yongfu still has one year to leave his post, I am afraid that he will have to enter the state of retirement in advance now. Officialdom is very, very realistic. In Xichuan, almost everyone in the officialdom knew that Zhou Yongfu's age was about to expire, and they all knew that He Baoguo's future would be longer than Zhou Yongfu's. Under such circumstances, the people below continued to be determined. support Zhou Yongfu, or consider turning a corner and currying favor with He Baoguo? This answer is not difficult to come up with. One sun is going to set and another sun is going to rise. Although the ebb and flow of that situation is subtle, it has become more and more clear. He Baoguo had just arrived, and Zhou Yongfu could still rely on his prestige to suppress him. Even if the people below had some ideas, they didn't dare to express them openly. But once He Baoguo has the power, he willAt the very least, reporting to He Baoguo would be natural and natural, and being summoned by He Baoguo would be justifiable. I¡¯m afraid that by then, He Baoguo¡¯s office will be packed with guests, and his place will be deserted. Therefore, no matter which angle it is from, Zhou Yongfu must find a way to block this matter. "Secretary Zhou, science has its own rigor. I believe that the National Geophysical Research Center would not dare to joke about this kind of thing. Even if they are exaggerating, as our government, we cannot take it lightly. Now, we are a province with a large population, and it is not a bad thing to take some preventive measures. Otherwise, if it happens, it will affect not just a few dozen people, but hundreds of millions of people. We simply cannot bear the responsibility. They have their scientific judgment, and we also have our political responsibility," He Baoguo said earnestly. He Baoguo grasped Zhou Yongfu's considerations with just a roll of his eyes. ¡° If Zhou Yongfu didn¡¯t appear so frivolous, He Baoguo would still be fine, and the possibility of this matter prolonging would become extremely high. But since he knew that Zhou Yongfu regarded it as a battleground for power struggle, He Baoguo naturally wanted to do the opposite. He Baoguo came to be the provincial governor to do real things, not just for decoration. Zhou Yongfu wanted to suppress him, and He Baoguo naturally resisted. Even if it is not for the so-called people's righteousness, but simply for the sake of getting back his own rights and firmly holding the throne of provincial governor, He Baoguo still has to work hard. "If outsiders knew that He Baoguo retreated after being beaten by Zhou Yongfu, then who would turn to him and follow him in the future? Whether in official circles or in society, people will only like and follow the strong. On the contrary, they will look down on and spurn the weak. "Because we have political responsibilities, we must first make political judgments. Can this geophysical research center determine that a strong earthquake will occur here? Can they predict the time? They have confirmed the specific location and intensity of the epicenter. I believe there are none of these. Even if we talk about probability, what is their probability? Comrade Baoguo, you have to know, once this news is released, how will we attract investment? Who will be willing to give a lot of money? How can people safely engage in production if their funds are placed in a place where huge disasters are lurking? If they have some money, they will try to escape and hide as far away as possible. This is human nature, so don¡¯t think it won¡¯t happen. Logically speaking, you are the governor, and economic development is your authority and responsibility. However, I, the squad leader, also have to bear overall responsibility for the social stability and long-term peace of the province. "Zhou Yongfu seemed a little tougher. All the principles are explained. Faced with Zhou Yongfu Zaihe¡¯s series of rhetoric, He Baoguo was really a bit hard to argue with. At least what he said is the real situation and the trend that will happen according to common sense. Especially for large-scale investment cases, investors will indeed regard earthquakes as an extremely important consideration. Safety is a prerequisite for all investors. If Xichuan Province¡¯s investment promotion performance declines sharply in the next few years, and the earthquake does not occur, If so, then He Baoguo's official career will probably end here. But is this matter settled like this? Just let Zhou Yongfu make the final decision? He Baoguo was still a little unwilling. At this time, He Baoguo thought of Chen Kangjie again, and thought of the scene where Chen Kangjie suggested to him to take up a post in Xichuan in the capital a few months ago. ¡°Perhaps the boy had anticipated this situation at that time, otherwise, he would not have been asked to come to Xichuan. In the past ten or twenty years, the path Chen Kangjie has traveled is difficult for ordinary people to predict and judge. It seems that he has some special ability and can accurately grasp various situations. Otherwise, He Baoguo and Chen Qigang would not be at the high position they are today. He did not admit it, but He Baoguo knew in his heart that they had received a lot of help from Chen Kangjie in their career path, but in turn, they did not help him much. Whether to continue to trust Chen Kangjie now has become a very difficult choice for He Baoguo. If you believe Chen Kangjie¡¯s judgment, then he must actively fight for it, but he must bear the price for the consequences of fighting for it. If you don¡¯t believe Chen Kangjie, or don¡¯t quite believe the researchers at the National Geophysical Research Center, you must stop now. Anyway, He Baoguo has not fallen out with Zhou Yongfu yet, and the relationship between the two can still be maintained. Now that I have backed down, the worst thing I can do is just wait step by step for about a year. By then, Zhou Yongfu has left and I have taken over, so I can do whatever I want. "Secretary Zhou, do you think this is a good idea? We are not making decisions arbitrarily. We first put the countryInvite the team from the Geophysical Research Center and ask them to give us an explanation report so that we can have an intuitive understanding of the actual situation. Then we can make a rational decision. What do you think? "In the end, He Baoguo neither advanced nor retreated, but made a relatively conservative and safe decision. If scientists can convince him by then, then he will fight for it. If not, he will do as Zhou Yongfu wants.
