Chapter 687: The Dust Settles
"How could he do this?!" In a small courtyard in the capital, Mr. Gu threw the crutch out with some angrily and smashed a vase that was more than one person tall.
After suddenly receiving the news that Gu Cheng took the initiative to withdraw early, Mr. Gu was obviously very shocked, because Gu Cheng had never told him about this from the front to the back.
It was too sudden! He was not prepared at all!
"There is no direct relationship in the political situation of China, and sometimes it is really inconvenient." Chen Zhaowu looked at the furious Mr. Gu and said to himself.
Both of them have completely retired. Some of the relationship networks they used to operate have now become increasingly weakened or differentiated. They used to rely on power to check and balance their own small networks, but now they can only rely on feelings to maintain this small interest group so that they will not fall apart so quickly.
However, compared with Mr. Gu, Chen Zhaowu's relationship network is better. Mr. Gu's relationship network is mainly concentrated in Hedong Province, especially Gu Cheng as the main character.
Now Gu Cheng suddenly gave up and did not explain what the following is. This has brought great blow to Mr. Gu.
As Mr. Gu’s business in Hedong Province is about to disappear completely.
Seeing Mr. Gu's spirit suddenly faded, Chen Zhaowu felt a little empathetic.
Recently, Mr. Gu’s house was not very peaceful. First, his granddaughter Gu Miaomiao ran to the UK. Although he called back, he said that he was extremely despised Hu Han’s behavior and could not marry him, etc. This made Mr. Gu very angry. Not long after, Gu Cheng in Hedong Province suddenly abstained from power, which caused Mr. Gu to be severely hit.
Once Hedong goes, his influence will disappear at least half of it, of course he feels so sad that his heart hurts.
"Take good care." Chen Zhaowu stayed for a while, then said goodbye first.
"Oh, stealing chickens will make you lose some rice. It seems that Gu Cheng is not Ye Kai's opponent. Can Hu Han be okay?" Mr. Gu remembered this and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Once Gu Cheng leaves the Hedong Provincial Power Center, the plan of the Japanese consortium formed by Hu Han to invest in Hedong Provincial Steel Enterprises will inevitably be affected. Then the process of steel integration of Ono Consortium may not be so easy to achieve.
As for whether Hu Han can overcome all difficulties and build the steel mill in the Shengwangxin District of Jiangzhong Province, it will be even more difficult.
In fact, the most important problem here is not the pollution caused by steel companies, but the construction of steel companies to take over the planned dock port in Shengwang New District. To achieve this, you will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of discerning people.
The most important thing is that Ye Kai cannot interfere in this matter, so he must find something for Ye Kai and not let him be idle.
"What should I do?" Mr. Gu was thinking about this. When his eyes fell on a official novel serialized in a tabloid, he saw the protagonist fighting wits and courage with his opponents, he was suddenly inspired and immediately had an idea.
***************************
"Do you agree not to pursue Gu Bing anymore?" Zhong Liyu asked in surprise.
Just now, Ye Kai came back and called Deputy Secretary Yang Shunxin of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and signaled that she did not need to organize any materials about Gu Bing, because this had little to do with the Zuo Shichang case in the Municipal Steel Factory. In addition, she instructed her to close the case of Zuo Shichang as soon as possible and transfer it to the judicial authorities according to the situation, and pursue criminal responsibility.
Then, Ye Kai called his people in Australia again, saying that he could relax his control over Gu Bing and let him call him to report his safety, but if he was completely free, he would have to wait until the situation in Hedong stabilized.
Zhong Liyu was listening from the side, a little curious about Ye Kai's reaction.
Because the posture that Ye Kai showed before was to fight Gu Cheng against him, but now it has stopped, which makes people suspicious. Could it be that even Ye Kai was under tremendous pressure to compromise?
"Actually, it's a very simple thing. Gu Cheng compromised and made huge concessions." Ye Kai said to Zhong Liyu, "For the sake of the overall situation of Hedong Province, I will let his son go and stop pursuing this matter, so that Gu Cheng can successfully complete the transfer of power and completely retreat."
"The recent things in Hedong Province have made people feel dazzled. Political practice is really not something that ordinary people can do." Zhong Liyu shook her head and asked, "Didn't you always pursue the principles of fairness, justice and openness? Why did you start such behind-the-scenes transactions?"
When Ye Kai heard this, he immediately laughed.
He has indeed said these words more than once before, and when he was working in the Shengwangxin District, he always did things according to this principle, so in the Shengwangxin District, all institutions in the Shengwangxin District, they were very efficient in their work, the cadres and teams were relatively honest, and government affairs were very well disclosed. Before he left, they had already become the pilot unit of the country's policies in this regard.
Now that Ye Kai has come to Hedong Province less than half a year, Zhong Liyu has seen him start to engage in these behind-the-scenes transactions. I can't say that Ye Ershen has also been assimilated by the political environment of Hedong Province?
Zhong Liyu had every reason to believe that after passing the case of people and cars falling from the bridge on Linhe Bridge, Ye Kai could take advantage of the opportunity to sweep a large area in Hedong Province, for example, forcefully placing Gu Cheng down. I believe that in order to appease Ye Kai and the old Ye family, no one would jump out and say that this was inappropriate.
But Ye Kai took the initiative to accept Gu Cheng's compromise, which made her curious.
"No matter what kind of struggle is, it will end up with compromise. Therefore, the supreme art of becoming an official is to be good at mastering the most suitable opportunity for compromise and obtain the greatest benefits through struggle and compromise." Ye Kai explained to Zhong Liyu, "Now that Gu Cheng takes the initiative to retreat is of great benefit to the stability of the cadre team in Hedong Province. After avoiding a major struggle, Secretary Yueshan can successfully realize the central government's intentions. I can get rid of an opponent without using any weapons. The cadres can work with peace of mind and the people can live a stable life. It can be said that it is a win-win situation. What else do you think I am not satisfied with?"
"So that's it. After hearing what you said, I seem to understand a little." Zhong Liyu immediately reacted and said with a smile, "The ancients said that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. It seems that you have done it."
"I'm so careless. If Gu Cheng hadn't let go suddenly, I would have to pay a lot of money. I don't know where the next position is." Ye Kai replied.
If the two fight to the end, then no matter what the final result is, Ye Kai will definitely leave Hedong Province.
************************
In the last few days of the end of March, the biggest news in Hedong Province was that the Japan-China Friendship Association, led by Vice President Hinayama Kio, gave condolences to some poor areas in Hedong, and gave donations worth millions of dollars.
In addition, the business representatives of the delegation also conducted an investigation into the business environment of Longcheng. Some people invested in two hotels, and some people invested in the construction of a clothing city. It was a relatively large project, with tens of millions of yuan invested. As for some other small-scale quarrels, it is not worth mentioning.
Of course, a relatively more important thing is that after arduous negotiations, Ono Consortium finally reached a cooperation plan with the city’s steel mill. Ono Consortium invested 15 billion yen to build a cash special stainless steel production line in the city’s steel mill new district, mainly producing some medical-grade stainless steel products, filling the domestic gap.
This time, the conditions of Ono Consortium were much more relaxed, and there were no additional terms mentioned, and an agreement was quickly reached.
The main reason that led to their ending of the negotiations so soon was that Ye Kai made people feel rumors again, saying that after his efforts to mediate, General Yu from the East China Shenyun Base finally gave up the decision to cancel the order and agreed to continue to negotiate with the municipal steel mills and negotiate a list of purchased projects.
As soon as the news came out, Toshio Ono immediately instructed the negotiating group representatives to sign as soon as possible, and gave up several entangled terms for this and hurriedly agreed to the requirements of the city steel mill.
Both the provincial and municipal TV stations sent a huge lineup to participate in the contract signing ceremony between the Ono Consortium and the Municipal Steel Plant. However, the order contract signing ceremony between the Shenyun Base in East China and the Municipal Steel Plant was much simpler, and there was no public report.
Under the flash, everyone found that the Japanese investors' faces were not very happy. Thinking of the last negotiations that were very complicated and almost completely broken, the reporters knew that this time Ono Consortium must have not obtained the results they expected.
But in any case, this is a major event for the Municipal Steel Plant. With an order contract of 600 million yuan and a new project technology investment worth over 100 million US dollars, the Municipal Steel Plant will inevitably be among the top three domestic steel companies in a very short time. This old steel plant, which has a history of more than 70 years, has finally won the precursor of revival.
The province attaches great importance to this matter. In addition to the leaders of the city, Secretary Yueshan of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Secretary Gu Cheng of the Provincial Party Committee, and some important members of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government all attended the signing ceremony. This is also the first important contract worth over 100 million US dollars signed by Longcheng and the Japanese consortium.
Ye Kai, who played a decisive role in this series of events, did not come to the stage. Just as the provincial leaders raised their glasses to celebrate with a smile, Ye Kai had already left Longcheng.
