Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 329 Trouble

Wei Min also relaxed, "Secretary Qi, since the cigarette factory you mentioned is located here, can I notify our subordinates to switch from rice to tobacco this year?"

Qi Tongwei nodded slightly. "Well, that's not impossible. Let's contact the tobacco department as soon as possible to conduct an on-site inspection. If there are no problems, we will apply for planting qualifications and sign a contract as soon as possible."

Then he looked at Kong Yiji again and said, "Comrade Kong Yiji, I think we can visit a few more towns to boost the income of local farmers."

Kong Yiji replied, "Okay, Secretary Qi, our county government will handle this matter."

Qi Tongwei's gaze returned to Wei Min. "Comrade Wei Min, please continue."

"You just mentioned speeding up the construction of the industrial park. This will inevitably require increased investment. The town government's finances are a bit tight right now. Can the county allocate some more funds?"

Qi Tongwei looked at Kong Yiji again, "Comrade Yiji, what do you think?"

Kong Yiji looked at Wei Min and said, "Comrade Wei Min, didn't the county allocate 10 million yuan to you? There shouldn't be any problems with the preliminary work."

Wei Min complained, "County Magistrate Kong, ten million is just a drop in the bucket. Construction is going on everywhere these days, and the prices of many materials change from one morning to another. Ten million isn't even enough to cover the hardening work of the first phase of the industrial park."

Kong Yiji was also a little embarrassed: "Secretary Qi, we spent a lot of money on our six renovation projects last year. Now the county finances can't spare much money at the moment. The most we can provide is another four million."

Qi Tongwei nodded. Last year, the county built a hospital, repaired a highway, and renovated shanty towns. The continuous investment was indeed a bit difficult for the county to support financially.

I was a little impatient.

Qi Tongwei asked: "Comrade Wei Min, how much more do you need?"

"At least seven...six million, and this is only today's price." Wei Min's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Well, Comrade Yiji, let's squeeze out 8 million from other projects to give to Tianxin Town. I'll find a way to cover the shortfall." Qi Tongwei continued, "Are there any other questions?"

"That's all, Secretary Qi." Wei Min let out a long sigh and sat back in his seat.

Next, Qi Tongwei asked the China Merchants Group again.

Xiao Gangyu, who was in charge of the Merchants Group, took the initiative to continue the conversation, "Secretary Qi, I also have funding issues.

Look, when the bosses arrive, they specify the Dragon Teng Hotel in the city as the host. The other hotels are not up to par. I calculated that each person's daily expenses for food, drink, defecation, urination and sleeping alone cost one to two thousand yuan."

"I'll give you one million." Qi Tongwei made the decision directly. He had to spend the money because he didn't want to sacrifice anything.

Then he changed the subject and started hammering, "The county can give you money, but you have to achieve this result. You can't just eat and drink without laying eggs."

Xiao Gangyu quickly made a promise, "Secretary Qi, don't worry, I will definitely lead my comrades to achieve good results for us."

...

After the meeting, Qi Tongwei asked someone to arrange a car and went to the Municipal Party Committee to ask Secretary Qi for money.

I originally thought it would go smoothly, but Qi Bin's attitude turned out to be somewhat intriguing, "Tongwei, the Municipal Party Committee is also in a difficult situation right now, and the city is preparing to make regional adjustments.

Once this happens, a lot of money will be spent.

If possible, could you please put the construction of the industrial park in Jiangchang County on hold for now?"

Qi Tongwei said, "Secretary Qi, didn't you and the municipal party committee support the establishment of the industrial park? You can't just give lip service to it."

Qi Bin waved his hand, "Hey, how can you say that?

The city originally considered this, but in the end it hasn't been implemented yet.

Of course, if you take the initiative to seek a way out and development, the Municipal Party Committee and I will not say that we do not support you, but we must also take the overall situation into consideration.

Once you take action, the entire city's plan will be messed up. Besides, I'm just asking you to take it slow, not to prevent you from doing it.

Also, you have to consider the difficulties faced by the municipal government. If everyone below you were like you, reaching out to everyone, even if our city had mountains of gold and silver, it wouldn't be enough."

Then he asked, "By the way, have you asked Mayor Jin about this? After all, the city's finances are still under the leadership of the municipal government."

Qi Tongwei was a little surprised, "Secretary Qi, this Mayor Jin is not..."

Qi Bin took over the conversation, "You want to talk about the case involving the Huang family, right?"

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, but his expression showed his agreement.

"This matter has come to an end. The necessary investigations have been completed. There is no direct evidence to prove that the mayor was involved, so you have to remember this."

Qi Tongwei did not continue to dwell on this issue and stood up directly. "Okay, Secretary Qi, I will go to Mayor Jin to report first."

Qi Bin nodded slightly and turned his attention back to the documents in front of him.

After leaving the municipal party secretary's office, Qi Tongwei did not immediately go to report to the mayor, but turned in another direction and went to Gao Yuliang's office.

As soon as he entered the door, Gao Yuliang joked, "Secretary Tongwei, come on, come in and sit down."

Qi Tongwei was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Teacher, what are you doing?"

"What's going on? You're a big shot now, working hard in the county, and everything's going smoothly."

Qi Tongwei heard the hidden meaning, "Why, teacher, did I do something wrong?"

"What do you think? Have you reported this to Secretary Qi?"

"Teacher, didn't you say you were going to build a second industrial park in Jiangchang County?"

Gao Yuliang shook his head and said, "You are considered an old cadre, where is your awareness?

Isn't it clear that before things are finalized, anything is possible?"

Qi Tongwei's eyes widened. "Isn't the city planning to build a second industrial park?"

"It's not that we won't do it, it's just that there's a dispute. But once you make a move, the nature of the matter has changed, and the future of your Jiangchang Second Industrial Park has become unpredictable.

Originally, Secretary Qi was on your side, but now, it’s hard to say.”

Qi Tongwei was confused again, "Please help me, teacher."

"You're also the top leader. Do you like the cadres below to act first and ask for permission later?"

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but argue, "This shouldn't be considered acting first and reporting later."

Gao Yuliang nodded, "Yes, it doesn't count. It counts as holding the emperor hostage to control the princes."

Gao Yuliang took a sip of the teacup on the table and continued, "Don't always limit your vision to the county, you must always keep up with the pace above.

Sometimes, whether you have good grades or not is secondary. The most important thing is not to let your superiors think that you are difficult to control.

You already hold a high position now. If you continue to behave like this when you reach the provincial or ministerial level, you will be openly opposing the central government, which will be a serious crime."

Then he asked again: "Tongwei, are you in a hurry to go up?"

Qi Tongwei nodded and did not deny it.

“You must know that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, so you must keep a low profile.

Looking at Handong, is there anyone else who is a 26-year-old county party secretary besides you?

"Take your time, you are still young, and sooner or later you will have a place in Handong.

Of course, this can't all be blamed on you. The root of the problem lies with me, your teacher."
