"Well, the Jianghua area is based on Linghe County as the regional capital. And we are building Huanggang County on the basis of Hengkong Town. They have the same purpose. However, Comrade Ye Fan, you have to show your attitude.
." Governor Qu smiled.
"Governor, my attitude has always been correct. However, I am still serving as Secretary of the Jianghua District Committee.
And he also holds the position of deputy secretary-general of the Tianyun Provincial Party Committee. There are many advantages to holding multiple positions, but it also brings with it a lot of trouble.
If I were asked to look out for Huanggang County, where I clearly care about Tianyun, the comrades there would definitely stab me in the spine.
So, two leaders, this... there is something..." Ye Fan laughed dryly.
"Haha, our Tianyun side has a large shareholding. Even in terms of shareholding ratio, our side should be appropriately tilted, right?
Of course, the most important thing for you right now is to arrest Hengkong Group. It is impossible for us to misappropriate too much of your funds.
Because all that money is used for development. And if development doesn't happen, what's the point of moving to this county.
Not only will it waste people and money, but it will also affect some of the foundations of our Xiangnan City." Governor Qu expressed his understanding.
"Thank you, Governor, for understanding my difficulties." Ye Fan said, glanced at the two comrades, and said with a smile, "Two leaders, but who will be in charge of the move to Huanggang County?
If it is still managed by a team from Huanggang County, it will not be conducive to the development of Hengkong Group.
It is estimated that the kind of wrangling between our Hengkong Group and Hengkong Town will still happen. If I struggle with wrangling every day, how can I still have the energy to develop the group company?
Moreover, compared with Hengkong Town, Huanggang County has a higher status and level. If a dispute occurs, the trouble will be even greater."
"What do you mean?" Governor Qu asked back.
"Haha, if Huanggang County is to be moved to Hengkong Town, it must be managed by Hengkong Group. Xiangnan City can no longer interfere. Even personnel appointments are also the matter of Hengkong Group.
Huanggang County Party Committee Secretary and County Magistrate can join the middle-level team of Hengkong Group. Governor Cai is the chairman of Hengkong Group.
And I hold the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, so there should be no one in charge of the county who talks too much." Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Comrade Ye Fan, I find that your appetite is getting bigger and bigger recently." Governor Cai said with a smile.
"Governor Cai, this, Huanggang County was transferred, isn't it under your direct control? You are Hengkong's biggest boss. I'm just a side hustle, a hard job." Ye Fan laughed.
"I don't have time to be this boss, don't put a high hat on me, it's useless." Cai Qiang shook his head angrily.
"Well, Comrade Ye Fan is telling the truth. I'm afraid that I'll keep talking about this matter. Let's do this, Comrade Ye Fan, you go and report to Secretary Ning in person this afternoon. If Secretary Ning expresses his position, I will propose to the Provincial Party Committee to discuss this matter.
Let’s discuss it.” Governor Qu said, glanced at Ye Fan, and smiled. “It seems that our Secretary Ye has also been hit by sugar-coated bullets.”
"How do you say this to the governor?" Ye Fan pretended to be confused.
"Do you still need me to make it clear? What about the contract you signed with Southern Yunnan Province? Why haven't I heard you talk about it now?" Governor Qu said with a slightly sarcastic tone, which was of course half-joking.
"Haha, regarding this matter, I am now the subordinate of Governor Yang. If I dare to negotiate with the leader when I am a subordinate, doesn't this make me hit a wall?" Ye Fangan laughed twice and said. Governor Qu almost rolled his eyes.
, hummed. "Aren't we your leaders anymore?"
"Of course it is, but my sandwich biscuits are not easy to make. Two leaders, please think about this." Ye Fan started to play the tragedy card again.
"Forget it, you can make up your own mind about the contract, and we won't interfere with it. However, you should pay more attention to the relocation of Huanggang County. Keep an eye on it, and don't just act like a shopkeeper." Qu Sheng
Chang waved his hand.
"This, I can only say that we are doing our best. If Hengkong Group is to invest, it will not exceed 100 million. Moreover, we are only responsible for the construction of public facilities, such as building bridges and paving roads." Ye Fan said.
"Well, that's almost it. However, we are not looking at your 100 million. Instead, you, Comrade Ye Fan, want to use your influence to ask for money." Cai Qiang said.
"I want this from the higher ups. I don't have time. Besides, as a corporate CEO, he probably can't even get through the door of the Ministry of Finance." Ye Fan said.
"Don't be careless with me. We all know some of your background. Every time you took office, you seemed to have gone to the Ministry of Finance to get one or two billion. We all know that you, Comrade Ye Fan, can be patient and work with the Ministry of Finance.
The relationship is very good. Why not use it if we have this relationship, and we still have a reason, right?" Governor Qu said.
"You two leaders can't just let go of this matter." Ye Fan muttered.
"Hahaha, of course I won't give up. However, if the decision is made to transfer Huanggang County to the direct management of Hengkong Group, it will be your responsibility, Comrade Ye Fan. How will the county be moved then?
If you don't behave like this, it's not just your Comrade Ye Fan who will lose face." Governor Qu is not hiding his words.
"Governor, I feel that if Huanggang County is moved to Hengkong, it would be inappropriate to call it Huanggang County. It should be renamed Hengkong County.
Only in the future will it be possible to develop into Hengkong City. This is also an aspect of my big plan for Hengkong.
When we started planning, we planned on a city scale. As for construction, we just took our time.
Of course it's impossible to become fat after just one bite. The key is the issue of funding, right?" Ye Fan said.
"Well, that's it. You can handle the Ministry of Finance. We'll take care of any necessary procedures here." Governor Qu said, "I'll leave this matter to Governor Cai."
In the evening, Ye Fan went to visit Ning Zhihe.
Because they met more often, and not long ago, Ye Fan helped Fei Dong break through to the innate realm. Therefore, the relationship between Ye Fan and the Fei family has entered the "casual" stage.
"We just signed a contract with Huaxing Group. If you are not taking care of the work in the company, why are you here?" Seeing Ye Fan come in, Ning Zhihe put down the newspaper in his hand and asked immediately.
"Xiaoye doesn't ask anyone to sit down when he comes, so he thinks that you, the secretary of the provincial party committee, are a powerful person, don't you? You can always go back to Beijing to report, but it's not okay for Xiaoye to come and sit at home. Ignore him, Xiaoye, sit down.
Aunt Fei will make tea for you." Fei Xiangyu said something to her husband angrily.
"Haha, I have something to report to Secretary Ning." Ye Fan smiled and sat down. Well, when talking about work, he should call him Secretary Ning. When chatting, he would call him Uncle Ning.
"Is it about the contract signing in southern Yunnan?" Ning Zhihe asked.
"No, that's it..." Ye Fan reported the situation to Ning Zhihe in detail.
"Does the governor know about this?" Ning Zhihe asked.
"I've reported it, but for such a big matter, they have to ask Secretary Ning if you are right?" Ye Fan said.
"Relocating a county seat is indeed a big deal. It involves too many things, such as land, construction, etc.
The key issue is, of course, as you said, the issue of money. The other issue is the response of the masses.
As a resident of the original county seat, I definitely don’t want to see the county seat moved away. This involves many conflicts of interest.
And you have to be responsible for this part of the work. If you get caught up in Pepsi, I'm afraid you will die from exhaustion." Ning Zhihe thought for a while and said.
"Don't be afraid of being tired. The county seat can be moved to Hengkong Town, which is of course very beneficial to Hengkong Group.
Of course you have to be more tired if you can make a profit. However, if you don't move, I don't have much objection.
It's just that both Governor Qu and Governor Cai were moved by this matter. Because this 'power' cannot be borrowed by all the other people in southern Yunnan.
The Hengkong Group is in great shape now, and it is only a matter of time before it takes off. Southern Yunnan Province also saw all this and became determined," Ye Fan said.
"You mean Comrades Zhiguo and Cai Qiang both advocated the move?" Ning Zhihe asked.
"Governor Cai also wanted to move Xiangnan City to Hengkong, but this move was too big and was immediately vetoed by Governor Qu.
Because, after all, our situation is different from that of Jianghua area in southern Yunnan Province, and we need to treat them differently.
In the end, Governor Qu adopted a compromise approach and moved to Huanggang County. In order to facilitate unified management, I requested that Huanggang County be included in the administrative districts under Hengkong Group for unified management.
From now on, we will completely break away from Xiangnan City. This will facilitate our group’s development planning.
Because Huaxing Group invested 800 million U.S. dollars, while Xingda Group invested 200 million U.S. dollars. And our Hengkong Group also invested several hundred million U.S. dollars.
Such a huge amount of money is needed to build a complete, high-end and high-quality natural and ecological tourist area.
This tourist area is very large, including Linghe County, Hengkong Town and Huanggang County in Jianghua area.
Unified management is conducive to the normal operation of the group company." Ye Fan said, "Moreover, I also proposed to change Huanggang County to Hengkong County to lay the foundation for the future removal of counties and establishment of cities."
"Xiaoye, is your stall too big?" Ning Zhihe frowned.
"The stall is big, but we already have the strength. Of course I wouldn't dare to do this if we didn't have money.
When I was doing town planning in Linquan Town, I widened the streets to nearly 30 meters.
At that time, many people opposed it and thought it was just a waste. However, after Linquan was planned, the current Linquan City has become a transportation hub.
Fortunately, the roads were planned to be extra wide at that time, so we don’t have to tear them down and start over again. This second repaving will be a huge loss to the country and the people," Ye Fan said.
"This is actually a matter of forward-looking vision, as an official who has made a difference.
You must be forward-looking. The burden you bear is very heavy. If you add the Ganghwa area, the happiness of millions of people is in your hands.
However, foresight and blind expansion are two different things. If you want to distinguish them, I only ask you, are you ready?" Ning Zhihe's face became very serious. (To be continued...
