Yuan Shengchu and Zhang Qingyun do not belong to the same system. If Zhang Qingyun is a powerful general in Beijing and Tianjin, Yuan Shengchu is a heavyweight figure in the Shanghai School.

Of course, Yuan Shengchu's status in the Shanghai Sect is definitely not as good as Zhang Qingyun's current position in the Beijing-Tianjin Sect. Within the Beijing-Tianjin Sect, Zhang Qingyun should now be the next leading figure drafted internally. There is no suspense about Zhang Qingyun's entry into the central sequence.

Despite this, Yuan Shengchu might not think so. He and Zhang Qingyun worked in Jiangnan, and the provincial party secretary and governor of Jiangnan were called the youngest group. At that time, Yuan Shengchu had the idea of ​​competing with Zhang Qingyun.

In fact, while Yuan Shengchu was working with Zhang Qingyun, Zhang Qingyun grasped the situation very firmly. Yuan Shengchu had no chance at all and had no equal ability to talk with Zhang Qingyun. This may be considered a hidden pain in Yuan Shengchu's heart, and this hidden pain may have continued until now.

Zhang Qingyun's influence as the secretary of the provincial party committee in Jiangnan directly led to huge pressure on Yuan Shengchu as the successor. Yuan Shengchu heard people speak many times at the Standing Committee saying "What did Secretary Zhang back then..." "If it were Secretary Zhang, what would he do..." Some people even said, "I believe that if it was Secretary Zhang, he would definitely not... "

Faced with such a speech, Yuan Shengchu often felt speechless, and at the same time he could not vent his anger. This would not only seem too petty, but also cause an irreparable negative impact. No matter how arrogant Yuan Shengchu was, he had to admit that Zhang Qingyun's influence on Jiangnan was indeed too great, so great that Yuan Shengchu did not dare to push Zhang Qingyun's decisions and instructions back.

However, as the new secretary of Jiangnan, Yuan Shengchu was not willing to just continue Zhang Qingyun's political ideas. Therefore, in the position of secretary, he thought of many ways and thought a lot, with the purpose of establishing his prestige as secretary.

However, what made him feel discouraged was that from the moment, the results achieved by all of what he did were not ideal. Jiangnan was still moving along the previous trajectory. Under external pressure, the voice of unity within the Jiangnan team was getting weaker and weaker, and Yuan Shengchu even felt that he could not control the situation.

If this is not the case, how could he take the initiative to find Zhang Qingyun? It is no exaggeration to say that he has many relationships in the capital, and among all these relationships, the relationship he least wants to find is Zhang Qingyun's relationship.

He was unwilling to be under the influence of Zhang Qingyun forever, and he was even more unwilling to be unable to get out of the framework that Zhang Qingyun had set before. However, the pressure of reality forced him to make up his mind and put down his self-esteem and ask Zhang Qingyun for help.

Yuan Shengchu knew very well that he was the secretary of the provincial party committee of Jiangnan, which was a great opportunity. Jiangnan had good conditions, so what Zhang Qingyun left for Jiangnan was a united and combat-oriented group. More importantly, what Zhang Qingyun left for Jiangnan was a very clear development plan.

With these two points, Jiangnan has the conditions to break through the Central Plains. Now there are many powerful players in the Central Plains, Chen Jie, Tang Yu, etc., and this group of people are all elites of the younger generation of the Republic.

"Those who win the Central Plains will win the world!" If Yuan Shengchu could lead Jiangnan to break through the Central Plains, it would be almost certain that he could stand out from the new generation of young cadres in the Republic, and entering the central sequence would be a step ahead.

Because of this, Yuan Shengchu cherishes everything he has now. In his heart, he has never cared about the development of Jiangnan as much as he is now. He has sacrificed his life when working, and has worked almost until late at night.

But some things are destined to not make him proud alone. Now, Chen Jie, Chen Jie in Jiangbei, Tang Yu in southern Henan, Miao Mingyuan in northern Henan, Zhang Haiyan in Huiyang, Liao Quan in Ganjiang, etc., none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

Among them, the biggest threat to Jiangnan is Jiangbei and Henan. Chen Jie's actions are open and upright, and he suppresses Jiangnan everywhere in formulating policies. Henan is also open and upright. Tang Yu is openly demolishing Jiangnan's Taiwan, which makes Yuan Shengchu too tired to deal with it.

It is impossible not to say that Yuan Shengchu is studious. Faced with the pressure from outside, he unconsciously learned the way Zhang Qingyun handled the situation back then. Zhang Qingyun's surname must be strong, decisive in doing things, and more importantly, he is absolutely strong.

Yuan Shengchu regarded the word "strong" as the essence. He launched a strong counterattack against the actions of Jiangbei and southern Henan. His counterattack was to tamper with the Central Plains artery, Liangjiang Expressway and the Central Plains Railway Hub.

He deliberately slowed down the construction period of these two transportation hubs on the grounds of land acquisition disputes, thus attempting to undermine the mineral export plan in southern Henan and further improve the Jiangbei Logistics Center.

However, Yuan Shengchu never expected that his approach had attracted unanimous attacks from all provinces in the Central Plains, and the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transport even interviewed the main leaders of Jiangnan and criticized the ruling ability of Jiangnan cadres. Now the problem has reached the State Council. Yuan Shengchu went to Beijing alone, and he had no courage to face the pressure from all parties.

"Secretary! Jiangnan has achieved the results of today's current situation, and our overall team in Jiangnan is determined to ensure this development momentum..." Yuan Shengchu said softly.

Zhang Qingyun waved his hand and said, "Old Yuan, you and I are old friends. Do you need to carefully talk to me? Where is the problem in Jiangnan? What is your real thought in your heart?"

Yuan Shengchu's face changed repeatedly. He picked up the red wine on the table and drank a small sip, looking out the window.

It was sunny after the rain outside the window, and the weather was good, but Yuan Shengchu only saw the darkness. He had been trying hard to erase Zhang Qingyun's influence from Jiangnan, and he made a lot of efforts for this, but now it seems that it is a huge irony.

Now he not only has to ask Zhang Qingyun for help in person, but also has to use Zhang Qingyun's influence to save the difficulties Jiangnan is facing now. This is very painful for a person with a strong self-esteem like him.

"The problem in Jiangnan is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is that there are problems within us. We have not been able to continue to unite all the ways of uniting all forces. In this regard..." Yuan Shengchu shook his head, changed his subject and said without continuing the topic:

"The other part of the problem is external pressure. The surrounding provinces have too many unfair competition. There are a lot of pressure we can't bear..."

Zhang Qingyun picked up the red wine glass on the table and shook it. The red wine in the glass was as red as blood, and the faint fragrance of red wine was filled with it, which made people intoxicated.

Since becoming the Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee, Zhang Qingyun has devoted all his energy to the capital and has not taken the initiative to pay attention to the changes in the situation in the Central Plains. He even had the illusion that he had forgotten the Central Plains and Jiangnan!

Now it seems that it is too difficult to do this. When you sit in confrontation with Yuan Shengchu, Zhang Qingyun discovered that the place was so difficult to give up.

"The south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the scenery is old. It is said that the flowers from the river are redder than fire. When spring comes, the river water is green as blue..." Bai Juyi's catchy poem "Remembering Jiangnan" has always been lingering in Zhang Qingyun's heart. If you are not careful, this poem will pop out of his mind, making his mood sentimental... "Old Yuan... cough cough..." Zhang Qingyun coughed twice, trying to make his tone stable, "You must be clear that the most important thing in Jiangnan is unity, and to unite, the most important thing is to clarify the relationship between various forces.

All forces in Jiangnan have been able to take root in Jiangnan for so many years and have experienced so many ups and downs. This shows that they have their own way of survival and death, and they are not moved by anyone who wants to do it by his will.

When you need unity, you should be good at using these forces and make reasonable use of them. Instead of being serious about them, there is a saying that, "There is no fish when the water is clear, and the most observant person is no disciple." You should experience this sentence carefully!"

Zhang Qingyun chuckled a few times and eased the atmosphere in the room. For some reason, as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he was speaking in a tone of teaching. He and Yuan Shengchu no longer had a superior and subordinate relationship, and it was inappropriate to speak in a tone of teaching.

He realized this and laughed, but afterwards, he had to continue saying, he paused and said, "As for the external environment, to solve this problem, it is important to grasp its own advantages. Jiangnan has an advantage that no province in the Central Plains does not have, that is, the energy advantage!

Electricity and coal are tight, and sometimes you don’t need to rely on your own mouth to urge them. Jiangnan is a major energy export province. Without coal, there will be no electricity. Who is the most anxious? This is a deck of dominoes, one brand is over, and there are a series of problems behind it. Who can withstand such pressure?

There is no coal in southern Henan, and southern Henan needs to rectify the coal order. That's OK. Can you invest in the construction of a new coal-transport railway trunk line immediately! The coal resources in the two Jin Dynasties are 100 times more than those in southern Henan, the price is cheaper and the quality is good. As long as transportation is solved well, will Jiangnan still lack electricity coal?

…”

Zhang Qingyun talked freely and unraveled his cocoons. All the problems in Jiangnan became light in his mouth. Whenever he talked about the key points, Yuan Shengchu would suddenly become enlightened, and then there was endless silence.

He had to admit that Zhang Qingyun stood higher than him and considered the problems more thoroughly and thoughtfully. He knew the advantages and disadvantages of the Central Plains provinces. More importantly, he was good at finding breakthroughs in these advantages and disadvantages, and the solutions he came up with were closely linked and reliable.

In fact, some methods are not complicated, and Yuan Shengchu has not thought about it. However, because he was not thorough in thinking and his thinking was not clear, it was difficult for him to make a decision in his heart. Now, after Zhang Qingyun's in-depth explanation, his confidence in his heart gradually returned... "Secretary, come, I'll give you a cup!" Yuan Shengchu said aloud.

"Bang!" The sound of clinking glasses was crisp, and the two of them drank it all in one go. There was another important thing Yuan Shengchu needed Zhang Qingyun's help. He wanted to ease relations with all forces in the Central Plains, and Zhang Qingyun had to mediate...
