After Ding Changhua and Liu Qiang left, Yang Derong paced back and forth in his office. He picked up the phone and called Gao Bowen. "Come up."
After a while, Gao Bowen staggered up, his body reeking of alcohol. He entered the door and said, "Boss, you were looking for me?"
Yang Derong went straight to the point. "What's the progress on the land we talked about?"
Gao Bowen blushed. "If Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't agree, I …"
"You won't do anything if he doesn't agree?" Yang Derong's expression changed greatly. He said, "Hurry up and discuss with Guangping in the next two days. Get the land back as soon as possible. I'll talk to Zhang Zhiyuan."
"Oh." Gao Bowen knew the reason. "Boss, why don't you just tell Zhang Zhiyuan that Mayor Lin's son-in-law wants to invest in the land? He won't dare to say anything. Now we're hiding it and letting him lead us by the nose. It's annoying! "
"Idiot!" Yang Derong said. "Mayor Lin and Liu Kecheng have reminded us many times not to reveal our identities. Aren't you afraid that others will talk about it? Besides, Liu Kecheng was pushed away by Zhang Zhiyuan. How can he tolerate his son investing in Nanyang? "
Gao Bowen said disapprovingly. "We're hiding it here. It's not like Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't know about it. I think he must have known about it long ago. That's why he's using the headquarters' rules as an excuse to not agree. "
"It's not up to him!" Yang Derong glared at him and slammed the table. "I'm the mayor of Nanyang County. The executive power is still in my hands. It's decided. If he doesn't agree, I'll take responsibility. "
"Alright then." Gao Bowen knew why Yang Derong was so concerned about this matter. This was a great opportunity to flatter Lin Haifeng. If he succeeded, he might be able to be promoted in a short period of time and become a real feudal lord.
After that, Gao Bowen reported: "Oh right, boss, two days ago, Wang Erzhu looked for me. He has contracted the Erlanggou coal mine and wants to meet you."
Yang Derong raised his head and asked, "Has he completed the paperwork?"
"There are no formalities, just a contract agreement."
"Why did you agree without any procedures? Who's going to take responsibility if something happens? I won't see him! "Yang Derong said angrily.
Gao Bowen said awkwardly, "Boss, if you don't agree, what about Wang Daocheng?"
Wang Daocheng was a distant relative of Wang Erzhu. He was now the chief engineer of an electric power company in a southern province. Back then, he was sent to a certain province as a cadre from the south and settled down here. This year, when he came back to visit his relatives, he brought Wang Erzhu to treat Yang Derong to a meal, hoping that Yang Derong would take care of him. Yang Derong boasted that as long as Wang Erzhu had any good projects, he would support him. Wang Erzhu had long wanted to contract the Erlanggou coal mine, so he brought it up on the spot. Yang Derong agreed on the spot.
Wang Daocheng and Yang Derong did not belong to the same province or the same system. There was no intersection between the two, but in the officialdom, it was important to build relationships. In any case, the other party was a Main Department Leader, two ranks higher than him. Who knows, he might come in handy one day. Coincidentally, Yang Derong's son graduated from college in the first half of this year. At the dinner table, he brought up the issue of his son's job. Wang Daocheng said straightforwardly. As long as it was an electric system, he could arrange it anywhere in the country. His son's job was settled, and the two hit it off and reached a consensus.
Yang Derong then handed the matter over to Gao Bowen to implement. However, he was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin. Initially, Ding Changhua only contracted the Erbao coal mine, but later on, he wanted to buy all the coal mines in Shiwan Village, including the Erlanggou coal mine. This posed a big problem for Yang Derong. He wanted to settle it through negotiation, but Ding Changhua brought up Lin Haifeng again, forcing Yang Derong to agree.
With his left hand weighing his son's job and his right hand holding his own career, Yang Derong decided to cut off his wrist and cut off his left hand after careful consideration. He thought that if he became the secretary of the County party committee, finding a job would be a piece of cake. However, he could not offend Wang Daocheng, so he could not think of a way to satisfy both sides.
Yang Derong thought for a long time, then said, "How about this? You talk to Wang Erzhu later and ask him to move somewhere else. If he agrees, I can give him some leniency."
"I said it, but it didn't work!" Gao Bowen said, "Wang Erzhu is a stubborn man. He is not willing to leave Shiwan Village, and he insisted on contracting the Erlanggou coal mine. He will not consider other places."
"Humph!" Yang Derong sneered. "This is not up to him. Ding Changhua just left, and he raised a new condition. He wants the county government to get rid of all the miners. Tell me, which side should I consider? "
It was indeed a difficult problem. Gao Bowen rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "Boss, how about this? I will discuss it with him again. If he does not agree, then I can't do anything about it. However, I am not going to get rid of the miners. "
Yang Derong knew what Gao Bowen was thinking. He must have gotten some benefits from Wang Erzhu. He said, "You don't have to care about this. Lu Yiwei is the secretary of the Shiwan Village party committee. What's the use of him? Just let him do it! "
"Brilliant, brilliant, truly brilliant!" A sly smile appeared on Gao Bowen's face. "Yes, just let him offend people. If he can take it down, then he has the ability. If he can't, then we can use this opportunity to get rid of him."
Yang Derong did not like Lu Yiwei at all. Actually, the two of them did not have any grudges against each other. It was because of the people around Zhang Zhiyuan. If one hated someone, the people and things around that person would suffer. It was human nature, and everyone would have the same thought.
Without waiting for Yang Derong to answer, Gao Bowen asked again, "Boss, I have a question in my heart. Why did you agree to let that kid Lu Yiwei into the Standing Committee, and even agreed to let him be the secretary of the Shiwan Village party committee?" This question had been bothering Gao Bowen.
Yang Derong said, "Entering the Standing Committee is not something I can decide. I heard that Zhang Zhiyuan invited Guo Jinzhu, the secretary of the Eastern State Municipal Party Committee, Xu Caimao, and the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Construction, Bai Zongfeng, to force Secretary Qin to agree. With so many people pleading for him, how could Secretary Qin not give them face? There's nothing much to say.
"As for moving to Shiwan Village, it's more complicated. Su Qiming is also involved. But then again, isn't it a good thing for Lu Yiwei to leave Zhang Zhiyuan's side? "
Gao Bowen immediately understood. He nodded and said, "That's true. With Lu Yiwei gone, Zhang Zhiyuan would have lost both his legs and his eyes and ears. Also, we can trap him in Shiwan Village and take care of Lu Yiwei first! "
"There's no rush. We still need to make use of him." Yang Derong said, "If you don't want to offend people, let him do it. Just wait and see. Can he clean up all the poachers in Shiwan Village? Absolutely not. Who knows, it might intensify the conflict. I'd like to see how he's going to deal with it. When that time comes, do we even need to do anything? "
Gao Bowen almost shot himself in the foot because of the Baitai Coal Company's accounts. Luckily, Zhang Zhiyuan did not continue to investigate. Otherwise, he would have been dragged into it as well. Because of this, Gao Bowen hated Lu Yiwei to the core. He wanted to vent his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yiwei, take Song Yong and Gao Dakuan away. I'll take care of these two first. Let him deal with the poachers alone. If I don't get rid of him this time, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Yang Derong did not say much. He said, "Bowen, you have a problem. You're always rash in everything you do. You're also impatient. You often do things that you're not confident about, and in the end, you get yourself into trouble. Song Yong and Gao Dakuan are just two chess pieces. Why did you touch them? What's the point of getting rid of them? Don't be narrow-minded all the time. Set your sights further. Take care of the coal mine for me. Once the economy improves, you can move forward earlier. "
Gao Bowen did not listen to him. He said, "Boss, what's going on with the immigration project? Hasn't it been approved at the executive meeting of the municipal government? Why did it fall through now? "
As the planner and participant of the whole incident, Yang Derong did not want to mention it to outsiders. But he still trusted Gao Bowen. He said, "Bowen, I can tell you about this, but you must not let outsiders know, including Xu Wannian."
"Boss, you still don't trust me? What can I say?" Gao Bowen said with some grievance.
Yang Derong nodded and said, "This matter can be said to be simple, but it can also be said to be complicated. You also know that I invited Ding Changhua to invest. It was a good thing, but Zhang Zhiyuan just had to interfere. He insisted that Ding Changhua take care of the mess left by Su Qiming. Old Ding also agreed to build a coke factory, but Su Qiming didn't agree and insisted on some bullsh * t immigration project. "
"You know Su Qiming's father-in-law. Although he has retired, he still has some influence in Bei Zhou City. Ding Changhua agreed to it because of his pride. Su Qiming has no working ability at all. He is overjoyed. He exaggerated the immigration project of a few dozen households into a thousand-person immigration project. Think about it. More than a thousand people are driven to a ravine. What will they eat and drink? It's a typical blind decision. Even if it is to be built, it should be built in the county to expand the capacity of the county's population.
"Su Qiming has a glib tongue. He reported the project to Secretary Qin before it was even finalized. Secretary Qin thought it was a good thing and agreed to let him do it. He even arranged for Mayor Lin to personally implement the project. Since you've forced him to this point, Old Ding has no choice but to agree. "
"But people are flexible. They have to learn to be flexible. Let's take over the coal mine first. Under Mayor Lin's guidance, Old Ding used his connections to the higher-ups. Some time ago, he got the approval to build a coal washing plant and a coke plant there. He took the approval to Secretary Qin. Although Secretary Qin was a little annoyed, he still signed it. "
Gao Bowen was confused. But he was sure that the immigration project had gone up in smoke. In addition, Ding Changhua was going to build his own coal kingdom in Shiwan Village. He was amazed by this man's ability.
