Chapter 2503

"Hongfang, you visited Haikou and Danzhou a few days ago. Did you gain any insights?"

Tao Donglai was not in a hurry to get to the point right away, but first asked Tao Hongfang about his recent work status. The Ministry of Commerce has officially invested industries in various places, and will also send senior officials to the local areas from time to time to inspect the operating conditions. Tao Hongfang

The errands I ran a few days ago were of this nature.

Tao Hongfang responded respectfully: "My child thinks that the industries of these two cities have their own characteristics. Haikou is close to the mainland, and most businessmen coming from the mainland will choose Haikou as their first destination. Danzhou, on the other hand, focuses on culture and education.

It is well-known and the number of colleges is second to none in our country and cannot be imitated elsewhere. Therefore, if a region wants to develop well, it must either occupy a unique geographical advantage or have a unique industrial form, at least one of the two."

Tao Donglai nodded and said: "Although it is not comprehensive, it is basically accurate. So do you think that if you were sent to these two cities to govern, you would be able to manage the current situation?"

Tao Hongfang said: "Mayor Zhang and Mayor Ma are both powerful people, and I dare not compare them with them."

Tao Donglai said: "In fact, these two cities already had the two characteristics you just mentioned during the Ming Dynasty. What we did after taking over these areas was to scale these conditions on this basis.

Industrialization, thereby driving the local economy. I don’t think you don’t understand the reason for this, but you just lack confidence in your own abilities.”

"You have to know that when Zhang Xin and Maliko were assigned to be local officials, they were only a few years older than you. And before that, they had no experience as local officials. Compared with their experience in taking office,

At that time, the environmental conditions you are facing now are many times better."

Tao Hongfang raised his head when he heard this, looked at Tao Donglai and said, "Father, do you want to send your child a job as a local official?"

Tao Donglai shook his head slightly and said: "It's not that time yet. Before that, I hope you can travel more to the outside world to increase your knowledge and understand the current real situation of the country.

"What does father mean...to go somewhere other than Hainan Island?" Tao Hongfang couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement in his tone.

Tao Donglai nodded and said: "I plan to let you go to Hangzhou, Zhejiang. It is the future capital of the country and there are many places worth visiting."

"Hangzhou?" Tao Hongfang was a little surprised when he heard this destination.

He originally thought that his father would arrange for him to go step by step and first go to a place not too far from Hainan Island. For example, a colonial area under Haihan rule like Annan and Da Nang, or a place like Hong Kong with an environment similar to Sanya, but instead

Unexpectedly, Tao Donglai planned to send him to the distant Hangzhou.

Although Tao Hongfang has never been to Hangzhou, he roughly knows how far it is from Sanya. The Ministry of Commerce has official ships that depart from Victory Port from time to time, pass through Hong Kong, Penghu, Zhoushan and other ports, and end in Hangzhou. The entire maritime voyage

It was more than four thousand miles and took half a month to reach the destination.

Although Tao Hongfang felt that he had grown up, he still felt uneasy when he suddenly learned that he was going to a place so far away from home.

"What? Are you scared?" Tao Donglai keenly caught the subtle changes in his son's expression and asked jokingly.

Tao Hongfang responded: "That's not true. It's just that the child can't help but feel a little guilty when he thinks that he will no longer be able to fulfill his filial piety in front of his parents after leaving."

Tao Donglai smiled and said: "Filial piety is commendable, but you don't have to worry, we are not unattended here. Besides, although the place is a bit far away, in a few years Sanya's institutions will gradually move there, and our family will also

I will move there. When you get there, you can go check out some good places and buy them to build a new house."

In fact, this kind of thing does not require the Tao family to work hard to organize. With Shi Diwen's personality, he will definitely be prepared in advance. When the time comes, Tao Hongfang will probably take the initiative to choose a place to arrange it before he can say anything.

Build a new house.

After Tao Dong finished chatting, he put away his smile and then got to the point: "Shi Diwen is now in charge of the affairs in Hangzhou. His loyalty to the country is of course unquestionable, but he has too many things to take care of.

The site is too big, so I may not be able to take care of everything. I am not worried about other things, but the projects related to relocating the capital are related to the destiny of the country, so there must be no mistakes, and reliable supervision measures must be in place."

Tao Hongfang heard this and asked: "Shouldn't the secret supervision be the responsibility of the Ministry of Security?"

Tao Donglai nodded and said: "Of course there will be corresponding arrangements for the responsibilities of the Security Department. However, the local environment is complex, and some information levels are difficult for the Security Department to access. But your identity is different, you can

Participate in various engineering projects openly and openly investigate areas where you think there are problems."

"But if there is really a problem over there, wouldn't it be possible to alert the enemy after the child goes there?" Tao Hongfang asked puzzledly.

"If snakes are really scared away, that would be a good result." Tao Donglai continued: "The purpose of your visit is not to eliminate all illegal practices, but to avoid hidden dangers that will affect the future operation of the capital.

.”

Tao Hongfang still seemed to understand. This was beyond the scope of his work at the Ministry of Commerce in the past few years.

"...These hidden dangers may appear in construction projects, or they may be conflicts of interest between the government and local people, or they may appear within the government. I don't need you to solve these problems, but you can write a report and send it

return."

Tao Donglai opened the desk drawer, took out an envelope from it, and put it on the table: "Here is a list. If necessary, you can go to these people for help. They are not officials of any department, and they cannot help.

You provide a private army, but if you want to get information or seek some special connections, these people should be able to help."

Tao Hongfang couldn't believe that his father actually had such arrangements thousands of miles away. He hesitated and asked, "Are these people reliable?"

Tao Donglai said in a deep voice: "The most fickle thing in the world is the human heart, especially when facing huge interests or threats. The people on the list are not reliable, you have to judge for yourself."

Tao Hongfang responded respectfully, then reached out and took out the envelope.

Tao Donglai continued: "I will ask Schneider to arrange an official errand for you. You can first think about what to do when you get there."

Tao Hongfang couldn't help but ask: "Then, is the child going to perform this task alone?"

Tao Donglai asked: "Who else do you want to go with you?"

"I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else." Tao Hongfang quickly bowed and responded.
