After hearing what Li Xiang said, Zhang Qiang let out a sigh of relief.
Three days ago, the Ningnan City Economic and Trade Commission and the Construction Committee took the lead in organizing cadres from various districts and counties in Ningnan to go to the neighboring Mengjiawan City to study and inspect the construction of small towns.
Even though Mengjiawan and Ningnan City are both economically backward areas in the central and southern part of Binhai Province, their small town construction is very distinctive and their development is advancing rapidly. Recently, they were designated as the province's small town construction projects by the Provincial Party Committee.
At the demonstration site, there was an endless stream of people from all over the province and cities visiting and studying.
Ningshan County also organized an inspection team, consisting of ten people. Zhou Nan, deputy secretary of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate, led the team and led the leaders of various departments in Ningshan County to Mengjiawan.
Zhang Qiang frowned and thought for a moment, thinking: It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Nan?
The bad relationship between Zhou Nan and Zhang Dazhong is no secret in Ningshan County. But Zhang Qiang also understands Zhou Nan’s personality and knows that he is not a person who does not understand the general situation and does not care about the overall situation. His conflict with Zhang Dazhong is the same.
, but work is another matter. Zhou Nan should not incite Sky Group to cause trouble because of his hostility to Zhang Dazhong.
Zhang Dazhong... Zhang Qiang frowned more and more, and couldn't help but hate in his heart, "This Zhang Dazhong has no bullshit skills, he will only cause trouble! He doesn't understand any rules. Although Zhou Nan is young and has little qualifications,
But he is a young cadre trained by the municipal party committee, and he is also the deputy secretary of the county party committee. If he screws with Zhou Nan like this, he will be the one who suffers in the end!"
"It seems that this matter..." Zhang Qiang hesitated, but Li Xiang, director of the county party committee office standing aside, hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Secretary Zhang, no matter what, Sky Group has already invested in these projects.
A lot of money. If the work is suspended for a long time, they will suffer the loss. I think there must be some misunderstanding this time... If the misunderstanding is explained clearly, the project will continue to start. Otherwise, their losses will be huge, close to 100 million.
You can’t even get your investment back.”
Zhang Qiang sighed and said, "The suspension of work is of course temporary, but the problem is that if investors make such a fuss, the impact will be very bad. Once word spreads to the city, the city leaders will definitely pay attention to it, and then the problem will become bigger.
"
"Go call Zhang Dazhong right away and ask him to come over." Zhang Qiang waved his hand impatiently.
"Secretary Zhang, would you like to call County Magistrate Zhou and ask him to speak to Mr. Zhang of Sky Group?" Li Xiang said tentatively.
Zhang Qiang shook his head, "Forget it for now, he's still outside. Wait until I ask Zhang Dazhong what's going on!"
Zhang Dazhong has been in a terrible state for the past two days.
He didn't expect Sky Group's reaction to be so fierce, and its actions to be so quick. It stopped work immediately, cleanly and without leaving any room for maneuver!
That day, Sky Group pressed for funds for road construction. Zhang Dazhong and Ma Zhongling rushed there to negotiate with Zhang Ningning, but they ended up having an unpleasant quarrel with Zhang Ningning at the construction site.
Zhang Ningning already disliked him. In addition, he had the dignity and airs of a leading cadre. He spoke condescendingly and arrogantly. How could the arrogant Zhang Ningning fall for him? His attitude immediately became tough.
Get up and fight tit for tat without giving in at all.
Zhang Ningning thought to herself, I have met so many government officials. You, a small deputy county cadre, are pretending to be a big boss in front of me. You are really blind.
The Zhangda Center was also very annoyed. It felt like a vice president of a company did not take him, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, seriously. It was simply unreasonable! Although Sky Group was an investor brought in by the county, the county had given it
You have received considerable policy concessions and vigorously supported project construction in all aspects. What else do you want? The people's government wants to use your company as a bodhisattva?
So, after a few words, the two of them stopped talking and parted unhappy.
Zhang Dazhong walked away in a hurry. When he returned, he was so angry that he arranged for the relevant departments of the town to come to the construction site to inspect. Intentionally or unintentionally, he singled out several so-called safety hazards in the project and issued a notice to rectify the safety hazards.
If the construction is in an urban area, this is very necessary, but the construction site is deserted. Except for some traffic on a provincial highway passing along the edge of Ningshan Town, there is usually not even a human figure.
Install some crappy dust screens and safety fences.
Li Tao, the vice president of Sky Group Ningshan Company, led his people to argue with the people at the Ningshan Town Safety Supervision Station. There was a minor conflict and they almost started fighting.
The situation was reported to Zhang Ningning. Zhang Ningning was very angry. He picked up the phone and called the mayor of Ningshan, Ma Zhongling. He had a quarrel with Ma Zhongling on the phone. Then he took advantage of the situation and called the project department that day.
The people immediately notified the construction company to stop work for rest.
When Zhou Nan was in office, Ningshan Town was very polite to the people of Sky Group, and the logistical service support from the town committee and town government was also in place. However, just a few days after Zhang Dazhong came to Ningshan Town, the attitude of the town took a turn for the worse.
.
Zhang Ningning's people have been having a hard time coordinating things in the town recently. Problems that used to be solved with just a phone call are now met with pushback and blame when dedicated personnel are involved. The contrast between before and after is really too great.
Therefore, the reason why this matter has reached this stage is that Zhou Nan's "operation" behind the scenes was just the straw that broke the camel's back. The real key factor was Zhang Dazhong's aggressiveness and arrogance, which caused Zhang Ningning and Sky Group to
There was a strong backlash.
Before Ningshan Town could react, Zhang Ningning took a group of his subordinates and drove out of Ningshan and returned to Haidu. Zhang Zhijun and Song Xiaolin rushed to the Ningshan Hotel to find Zhang Ningning's "accommodating"
By that time, it was all in vain.
Only then did Zhang Dazhong realize the seriousness of the problem.
He was a little confident at first. Anyway, Sky Group's investment has come in. For the benefit of the company itself, Zhang Ningning will continue to complete these projects. Otherwise, wouldn't he have to lose a lot of money?
But unexpectedly, Zhang Ningning stopped right away, seemingly without any regard for the company's investment costs.
The Sky Group caused such a commotion, which had a great negative impact on the big-butt Ningshan County. There was a lot of discussion in officialdom and gossip, and almost everyone pointed the "finger" at Zhang Dazhong.
Zhang Ningning casually abandoned several half-finished projects and walked away, leaving Zhang Dazhong in a state of distress. The pressure from public opinion was nothing. The key was that there must be pressure from the county committee and the city, and he would not be able to withstand it.
In any case, not long after he took office, he had violent conflicts with investors, which led to the suspension and abortion of several projects. He could not afford such a huge economic and political responsibility.
Ma Zhongling walked into Zhang Dazhong's office with a complicated expression and said softly, "Secretary Zhang, I called Zhang Ningning..."
Zhang Dazhong looked up at Ma Zhongling with an ugly expression, and said in a deep voice, "What did she say?"
"She said that because there was a problem in the capital chain of Sky Group, the follow-up funds could not keep up, so the work had to be temporarily suspended. As for when to resume construction, it also depends on the company's financing situation, maybe a month, maybe a few
Month, maybe it will be postponed to the end of the year.”
"She also said that Sky Group will hold a board meeting in two days. The board of directors will discuss the project in Ningshan County. Whether they will continue to invest depends on the outcome of the board of directors' discussion."
Ma Zhongling said in a low voice.
Zhang Dazhong bit his lips and patted the table angrily, "What nonsense, she is just being messy and unreasonable. How could there be a problem with the capital chain of a company as big as Sky Group..."
"What does this woman want to do? This is unreasonable!..." Zhang Dazhong gritted his teeth and said, his breathing becoming a little rapid, "Ma Zhongling, you call her again and tell her that the project in the mountain village can be put aside first
However, the construction of the market logistics park project must be resumed as soon as possible... This is not a unilateral matter of their company, how can they just stop it?"
Ma Zhongling raised his eyebrows, his face was bitter, his mind was frozen, he couldn't communicate at all, and no matter how many calls he made, it was useless. To this day, you still use this tough attitude to suppress others——
That proud woman, how could she do this to you?
But Ma Zhongling did not have the guts and courage to "refute" Zhang Dazhong face to face, so he could only smile and nodded in agreement, and then prepared to leave.
Before he could walk out of Zhang Dazhong's office door, he heard Zhang Dazhong say in a deep voice, "Ma Zhongling, please ask, if Sky Group refuses to resume construction of this project, what measures can we take? They are clearly challenging us.
, we can’t just do nothing and let them choke our necks!”
"I don't believe that our first-level party committee and government can still let a little girl suffocate to death!"
Ma Zhongling's figure "swayed" inadvertently, his face slowly turned pale, he felt weak all over, and he didn't want to say a word.
Ma Zhongling really has nothing to say about Zhang Dazhong's attitude and emergency response ability.
It stands to reason that when encountering such an unexpected situation, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Dazhong should quickly lower his profile and communicate with Zhang Ningning in person. Even if it means admitting his mistake and apologizing, as long as the problem can be solved, it is worth it!
But Zhang Dazhong still bites the stick and doesn't let go, showing off like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. He is still putting on the official airs of the so-called leader of the county standing committee... Hey, no matter when, if someone can buy you
How can you, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, take you seriously?
At this moment, Ma Zhongling felt panic, helpless and sad. This time, he really took the wrong path and turned to this seemingly strong man, but in fact he had a lot of soup in his belly. The future outcome can be imagined.
Know!
Zhang Dazhong's methods cannot be compared with Zhou Nan's, and his energy is even more incomparable. However, he continues to launch provocative attacks against Zhou Nan... The ignorant are fearless. If he continues like this, he will be kicked to death by Zhou Nan sooner or later. But Zhang Dazhong continues to challenge Zhou Nan.
If he fails, his future will be worrying as he is a loser who fell halfway.
Ma Zhongling left depressedly. After a while, he turned back and said hurriedly, "Secretary Zhang, Li Xiang, the county party committee office, called and said that Secretary Zhang of the county party committee asked you to go to his office immediately!"
Zhang Dazhong's expression changed, he nodded silently, waved his hand, and signaled Ma Zhongling to go out.
Office of County Party Secretary Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Dazhong knocked on the door gently and walked in slowly. Zhang Qiang was looking at something at his desk. When he saw Zhang Dazhong walking in, he waved his hand in a nonchalant manner, "Comrade Dazhong, sit down."
Zhang Dazhong smiled and said, "Secretary Zhang, do you have anything to do with me?"
With that said, Zhang Dazhong sat down with a stupor.
Seeing his indifferent and pretentious look, Zhang Qiang became very angry. Moreover, what made Zhang Qiang very uncomfortable was Zhang Dazhong's current attitude.
When he was just an ordinary deputy county magistrate, Zhang Dazhong could not be said to be respectful when facing Zhang Qiang, the top secretary of the county party committee, but he still had the due respect. But now he is "relaxed" a lot - obviously because he has become a member of the Standing Committee.
When the location changes, the mentality changes.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang couldn't control his inner anger, and his attitude became even colder. He said calmly, "Comrade Dazhong, I heard that several projects of Sky Group have suddenly stopped working? What is going on?"
Zhang Dazhong pretended to be nonchalant and smiled, "Secretary Zhang, do you know about this? Actually, it's nothing. It may be because there is a problem with Sky Group's capital chain, and the follow-up funds cannot keep up, so we need to wait for a while.
Slow down. No problem. They have already invested tens of millions in such a big project, and they will continue to work on it no matter what."
"I am sending people to communicate with Sky Group. It is said that they are coordinating loans...I think construction will resume within a month at the latest."
Zhang Dazhong waved his hand casually.
Zhang Qiang's face darkened and he said coldly, "Really? Are you sure?"
Before Zhang Dazhong could express his position, Zhang Qiang said in a deep voice, "Comrade Dazhong, when problems arise, we need to face them squarely and find ways to solve them instead of avoiding them!"
"I know Sky Group very well. It is a very strong private enterprise. Recently, they have been investing in real estate in surrounding areas and have also developed a large building in the provincial capital. How could there be a problem with the capital chain?"
"These projects, especially the market logistics park development project, are also key projects for the county and city. Such a sudden shutdown will have a great negative impact. One afternoon, a city leader already called me to inquire about the details.
The situation is..."
Zhang Dazhong put down the signature pen in his hand impatiently, "Immediately write a report to the county committee and explain the details of the incident. Remember, you must write it down realistically and clearly. You are not allowed to exaggerate the facts or hide and shirk responsibility...
At the same time, you immediately set up a working group to communicate with Sky Group and strive to calm down the situation and resume construction as soon as possible."
"This is not a small problem. I hope comrades in Dazhong and Zhongshan will pay attention to it. I will give you three days and give the county a clear answer within three days - why did the shutdown happen? How to solve it? Come up with a solution.
!”
Zhang Qiang's words gradually became a little less polite, not only curt but also a bit condescending. Zhang Dazhong's face turned red and he nodded irritably, "Okay, Secretary Zhang, I'll deal with it right away."
This matter."
Not to mention three days, even thirty days, Zhang Dazhong could not solve this matter. In the next two days, not to mention communicating with Sky Group, Zhang Ningning and his subordinates did not even answer the phone calls from Ningshan Town.
No more news.
This matter spread to the city. Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao and Mayor Ma Liguo both called County Party Secretary Zhang Qiang to inquire. Zhang Qiang could not explain on the phone, so he had to go to the city in person. As for Zhang Qiang’s visit to Feng Botao and Ma Liguo
How it is “explained” is unknown to outsiders.
Anyway, after Zhang Qiang returned from the city, he immediately asked Li Xiang, director of the county party committee office, to call and notify the Ningshan County inspection team out of town to return to the county immediately.
Naturally, Zhou Nan couldn't hide the news in the county, and he was always paying attention to the progress of the situation. After receiving a call from the county committee urging him to go back, Zhou Nan knew that the time had come.
A big drama has begun, and he is about to rush back to participate in this big drama. The process is not important, what matters to him is the final result.
It was already evening when Zhou Nan led the team back to the county. As soon as the van they took entered the county, Zhang Qiang called and asked him to rush directly to the office of Zhang Qiang, the county party committee.
Zhou Nan asked his secretary Zhu Yong to put away his luggage and went directly to the county committee. Walking along the empty corridor, he appeared at the door of Zhang Qiang's office.
The room was brightly lit, Zhang Qiang was sitting behind his desk, and County Magistrate Sun Xiang and Zhang Dazhong were sitting on the sofa. The three of them were probably waiting for his arrival.
"Secretary Zhang, County Magistrate Sun, and Comrade Dazhong, are you waiting for me?" Zhou Nan smiled slightly and walked in to say hello to the three of them.
Sun Xiang smiled and nodded to Zhou Nan, while Zhang Dazhong looked at him expressionlessly. Zhang Qiang took a deep breath and smiled, "Comrade Zhou Nan, come, please sit down. The four of us will meet and discuss this."
thing."
Zhou Nan said "Oh" and sat on the other sofa.
"Sky Group has started a work stoppage. Do you know about this?" Zhang Qiang said softly and glanced at Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan smiled inwardly, knowing that if he pretended to be ignorant, he would definitely arouse the suspicion of Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang. As for Zhang Dazhong's mentality, he did not consider it at all.
The matter is obvious. Even if Zhang Dazhong knew that Zhou Nan was secretly working to push him into a trap from which he could not extricate himself, he was helpless and could not say a word. He could only be mute and know the pain of eating coptis.
"Well, Secretary Zhang and County Magistrate Sun, I have heard about it. In fact, before leaving Ningshan County, Mr. Zhang of Sky Group also called me and talked about this matter. I was on the phone
I couldn't help it, she was very excited... Because I was out of town and didn't know the specific situation, so I didn't do anything for the time being."
Zhou Nan looked calm and spoke in a gentle and calm voice, without leaking any traces of water.
