Chapter 710: Opening the situation requires wisdom

The Secretary-General is a high-level member of the Standing Committee. Although he is also a department-official, he is far from the power structure. Within the authority of the Secretary-General, he is mainly responsible for many miscellaneous matters within the municipal party committee. In essence, he is still the role of the chief steward of the municipal party committee. However, the deputy secretary is different. The deputy secretary is completely a sequence of leaders of the municipal party committee. He is in charge of important personnel and party and mass. He ranks very high in the Standing Committee and his voice has also increased greatly. As long as personnel power is involved, it is an extremely important power.

It can be said that the position of deputy secretary is a very critical position. After the expiration, he can further serve as mayor and take over as secretary by taking over a big step.

Although Li Dingshan was promoted from the position of director to the department, he worked as the secretary general for several years, and then as the deputy secretary for a few years, which was considered sufficient qualifications. If time permits and coincidental opportunities, Li Dingshan would not have a big problem before retreating.

It depends on whether we can successfully take over as deputy secretary.

If Li Dingshan could take over as deputy secretary, there would definitely be many people who would be thinking about the vacancy of the secretary-general he left behind, but it was no longer a problem that Xia Xiang needed to consider. Xia Xiang was very clear, and it would be very good to be able to take the position of deputy secretary. If he was not greedy and wanted to even have any ideas about the position of secretary-general, he would be really ignorant of the current affairs.

However, what Song Chaodu said about Ye Shisheng's recent close contact with Li Yanhong was somewhat unexpected to Xia Xiang. Ye Shisheng's current thoughts, Xia Xiang was not sure, and he could probably know that most of his energy should be focused on whether to retreat or rise in the next step. Running to the capital is the right thing to do. It is normal for Ye Shisheng to go to a higher place to think that Ye Shisheng has a further idea.

But Ye Shisheng and Li Yanhong have an intersection, which made Xia Xiang wonder whether it was Li Yanhong who wanted to have a good relationship with Ye Shisheng, or was entrusted by Wu Caiyang to win over Ye Shisheng and let Ye Shisheng choose a position that leans towards the Wu family?

Ye Shisheng was in a dilemma for a long time because of the appointment of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister. He was hesitant and unsure between the Fu family and the Qiu family. In the end, it was because Fu Xianfeng took the initiative to give in and took a trick to hide the truth, so he successfully solved the problem. Logically speaking, after Qiu Xufeng took over the Organization Minister, the Qiu family should have more interactions with Ye Shisheng, but Ye Shisheng is still too close to Cui Xiang and has had contact with Li Yanhong. It can be seen that Ye Shisheng may not take a stance towards the Qiu family.

It is possible that it is now swinging between the Wu family and the Fu family.

It might be Wu Caiyang’s work to establish a close relationship with Li Yanhong and Ye Shisheng!

Xia Xiang always believed that Wu Caiyang was more powerful and had insufficient plans, and he emphasized too much about the role of strength. Strength does have an important influence in politics, but it is not the only decisive factor. Because no matter how strong a family is, it cannot be an enemy of everyone. Just like the United States, the United States, it only put forward the argument that it would win two wars at the same time, rather than winning all countries. In politics, unity and alliance are important, and each one is important to defeat and win the favor and support of the majority, which is even more important.

Back then, China was brought into the United Nations by most poor African countries, and even if Western developed countries strongly oppose it, it would be ineffective.

If it was under Wu Caiyang's instruction that Li Yanhong began to consciously contact Ye Shisheng, it was a good opportunity, and it also proved that Wu Caiyang was not exactly the same as the urgent and strong performance in this Secretary-General incident. He also had a meticulous and long-term layout.

However, in this way, the situation will become more and more complicated. Ye Shisheng has an uncertain side in his personality. He is not as calm and moderate as the Song Dynasty. Once the Song Dynasty determines something, it will be extremely difficult to change. It is not as difficult as Fan Ruiheng, but generally speaking, Fan Ruiheng still has a consistent position and does not change it easily. Even if Ye Shisheng does not change his orders every day, he is easily influenced by others and then changes his original position.

Xia Xiang could feel that Ye Shisheng had a subtle change in his attitude towards him from the two times he didn't answer his phone.

At the same time, Xia Xiang also knew that Song Chaodu's vision was always accurate. He said that Ye Shisheng and Cui Xiang had close contacts and had dates with Li Yanhong must have concluded through careful observation, not just a casual statement.

After dinner, Xia Xiang did not go to the Song family again, but directly offered to say goodbye. Song Chaodu did not try to keep him, and Song Yifan was a little reluctant to leave. He felt that Xia Xiang left too early and was in a hurry to go home at 8 o'clock. He was really a good man from the Gu family.

Xia Xiang laughed: "A man's responsibility is Gu's family. Just like Governor Song, no matter how serious he is outside, he will be very caring to you. You must be considerate of a man, especially a father's mind. You can't understand it, but you must accept it."

I don’t know if Song Yifan really understood it or pretended, and hugged Song Chaodu’s arm: “I like my father the most. I think compared to my mother, my father has always been both work and family, and he loves me very much. When I grow up, I must respect him.”

Song Chaodu was immediately moved by one sentence and touched Song Yifan's head: "Just grow up well, it's good to not let your father have endless troubles."

Li Dingshan did not leave with Xia Xiang. I guess he and Song Chaodu had something to say. It can be seen that Li Dingshan was a little excited. After all, at Xia Xiang's suggestion, he had no idea, but suddenly he could take over as deputy secretary, and anyone would be ecstatic.

Li Dingshan thanked Xia Xiang from the bottom of his heart. Although Xia Xiang is not as high as his level and younger than him, he knew that if there was no Xia Xiang's relationship, he would not be able to take over as deputy secretary only with Song Chaodu, because Song Chaodu and Mei Shengping had a fair relationship. Xia Xiang could not come forward, so he might not even be able to pass the nomination.

Xia wanted to help Li Dingshan, on the one hand, recognized Li Dingshan's character, because Li Dingshan had an extraordinary relationship with him, and Li Dingshan was always better than others. On the other hand, for his long-term plan, he gave someone a rose and the fragrance in his hand, which was about the principles of daily life, which was also applicable in the officialdom. Helping the people he trusted is no different from helping himself.

When she returned home, Xia Xiang held his son in his arms as soon as he entered the door, made him laugh for a while, then talked to the girl in Nai for a while, then arrived at the study and called Cao Yongguo.

The call with Cao Yongguo was very simple. Xia Xiang and Cao Yongguo were now a conversation between two men, or in other words, a conversation between two people in the officialdom. There was no parental matter, not like the phone call between the girl and Wang Yufen. Xia Xiang listened on the side and felt funny. After talking for half an hour, some children laughed a few times, cried a few times, ate a few times, and so on. It was not like him calling Cao Yongguo. It was definitely a major matter, and he never talked about it.

The transfer of Cao Yongguo to the Western Province as vice governor was basically decided. Cao Yongguo was also very happy to be preparing to enter the ranks of senior officials at the vice-provincial level. Although with Cao Yongguo's current qualifications and relationship network, entering the vice-provincial level is not a huge joy. However, it was two or three years ahead of Cao Yongguo's expectations, which was also an unexpected surprise.

The only regret is that in the provincial government team, the ranking is not very high, although it is not the last one, it seems to be in the middle. However, Xia Xiang also learned from Cao Yongguo that several vice governors are older and may retreat after one term. Some even reach the right time in a year and a half. It can be seen that Cao Yongguo has passed and it may not take long to move forward. Even if he cannot join the Standing Committee, he is expected to be ranked several times in the government team.

The most important point is that the Deputy Governor of the Standing Committee had long been heard of the news of being transferred, but after a long time there was no movement, there were two possibilities: one was that there was a good place to go and it was transferred smoothly, and the other was that it would be delayed until it was over. But no matter what, if Cao Yongguo went to the Western Province, if the opportunity was good, he might become the Deputy Governor of the Standing Committee in two years.

In this way, even if you truly enter the core of power in a province, the foundation for your future domination of a province will be laid.

It was a little better than expected. Xia Xiang was also very happy, but thinking of the frequent mining accidents in western province, Xia Xiang still specifically reminded Cao Yongguo: "Dad, the western province has abundant coal resources, but the private mining of small and medium-sized coal mines is very serious. Mining accidents often occur. Even if there are local protectionism strictly control media publicity, it can spread throughout the country overnight in the Internet era. Some things should be removed rather than blocked, and small coal mines should be strictly controlled..."

Xia Xiang pointed out the current situation in the Western Province. He also knew that his father-in-law would definitely work hard to understand the crux of the Western Province problem, and would not let go of the darkness. His reminder was kindness, and I believe Cao Yongguo also understood his painstaking efforts.

Cao Yongguo took over the conversation, said a few casually, and then asked inadvertently: "Yuan Mingliang, who is from Wenzhou, the Changji District of Xiama, is he from Xiazhou?"

Xia Xiang didn't expect that Cao Yongguo suddenly asked Yuan Mingliang and was stunned: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"That's not. When I was on the phone with Governor Xing yesterday, he accidentally mentioned that many investors in Wenzhou in the Western Province have invested in coal mines and have mastered many small and medium-sized coal mines. Recently, there is still a trend of increasing investment from Wenzhou. I thought that the largest investment in Xiama District is also from Wenzhou. Wenzhou is really a place of prosperity."

The night is getting darker, and Yan City is still very cold after the New Year. The breath of spring is still a bit far away. It will take at least a month to hear the footsteps of spring. Although the night breeze is slightly cold, Xia Xiang still opened the window of the study, stood in front of the window, staring at the night outside the window.

In fact, the night is slim and there is nothing to see. In the night of the city, there is no way to see many stars in the night sky except for the neon lights of tall buildings, and there is basically no beauty. Xia Xiang looked out the window from afar, but his eyes were not focused. He just wanted the cold wind to blow him more sober, so that he could carefully recall the rise and fall of the coal economy in the West Province in later generations.

As an indispensable energy source in human society at this stage, coal is non-renewable and is not difficult to mine. However, due to the domestic economic environment and human resources intensive, coal mining has become a labor-intensive industry. Because many small and medium-sized coal enterprises unilaterally pursue interests and ignore security, China is the country with the most concentrated and most mining disasters in the world.

None of them.

The death rate of mine accidents in China is 100 times that of the United States, 20 times that of South Africa and 4 times that of India. There has been no official statistics on the number of deaths in a year, but some people have also listed data from various places, at least more than thousands.

shocking.

Cao Yongguo went to the Western Province to serve as the vice governor. If he happened to be in charge of the mining industry, Xia Xiang hoped that his father-in-law could truly implement the policy of governing small and medium-sized coal mines. With Cao Yongguo's strong promotion - let's talk about Xing Duantai not only looking at the immediate interests - implementing the major measures to govern and rectify small coal mines in the future generations of Western Province several years in advance, and it can also save the happiness of countless families.

The profit of a medium-sized coal mine is said to be nearly one million yuan per day. Once a mine accident occurs, the coal mine owner will bribe his family and spend more than 100,000 yuan to settle it.

However, Xia Xiang also knew that the coal economy in the western province had formed a bottom-up industrial chain, with collusion between officials and businessmen, collusion between police and gangsters, and even the county party committee. Even if the province has policies, there are countermeasures below. Even a national leader once expressed his feelings that government orders cannot be issued in Zhongnanhai, and people cannot fly into the capital...

It would be okay if Cao Yongguo went here just to get enough experience. If he wanted to do something practical for the people, he would have a long way to go.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Xia Xiang's cell phone finally rang. Xia Xiang was actually waiting for a call today. Because he had a premonition, Wu Caiyang should have called him, so he had not yet fallen asleep.

It seemed that the phone number was a mobile phone number, which was a bit unfamiliar, but the number in the middle was the area code of Beijing, which was obviously the mobile phone number of Beijing, but it was not Wu Caiyang's phone number. Xia Xiang was a little puzzled, did Wu Caiyang change his mobile phone number?

He pressed the answer button: "Hello, I'm Xia Xiang."

But there was silence on one end of the phone, no one spoke, only a slight breathing sound came.

Xia Xiang thought that Wu Caiyang was considering the language, so he didn't say anything, so he waited for him to speak.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a full minute, there was still no sound. Xia Xiang couldn't help it anymore. Just as he was about to speak, a voice that suppressed a smile came from inside: "You won, I admit defeat. You are so powerful that you can endure it for a minute and not speak. You are simply non-human!"

Xia Xiang was really shocked and almost threw away his phone. Because he always thought it was a call from Wu Caiyang, but he didn't expect that when the other party spoke, it was a woman's voice. The unexpected contrast surprised him, who had always been calm.

However, after calming down, he still heard the voice of the person who came, it was Fu Xianxian!

Xia Xiang couldn't help but feel angry: "Fu Xianxian, why are you making harassing calls in the middle of the night? Don't just cause trouble for others, okay?"

Fu Xianxian did not realize that he caused trouble for others: "Please, it is important for me to find you by phone. Don't put a big hat on me as soon as you come up, okay? Why did I harass you? I can't see you and can't touch you, how can I call harassment? Tsk!"

Xia Xiang didn't have the time to argue with her: "Speak quickly if you have something to do, I'm still waiting for a call."

"Oh, why is your attitude so bad? I don't seem to have messed with you recently, right?" Fu Xianxian was not afraid of Xia Xiang's fierceness at all, but continued to tease him. "If you hold a grudge against Fu Xianfeng for messing with you because of a misunderstanding of having sex with me, okay, it's my fault. I admit that at most, I can really accompany you to bed with you once. You don't need you to take any responsibility, and you don't need to take any measures. I will bear all the consequences. How about it, enough friends?"

"..." Xia Xiang couldn't laugh or cry. Fu Xianxian's bold style was the most open and daring woman he had ever met. She could do it if she could say it, so she quickly changed the topic, "Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"If you don't have anything to do, I can't call you. Tsk, your attitude is not very good, I won't say it." If you don't say it, Fu Xianxian couldn't help but reveal another point, "Yuan Mingliang seems to be an investor in Xiama District, right? I remember hearing Mei Xiaomu say that I saw him in Beijing two days ago, and he was with Zhao Xiaofeng... You must want to know what he and Zhao Xiaofeng are discussing, right?"

Fu Xianxian was right. Xia Xiang was really concerned about the inside story of the interaction between Yuan Mingliang and Zhao Xiaofeng. However, Fu Xianxian is Fu Xianfeng's sister after all. He couldn't act very urgently as soon as Fu Xianxian said it, so he deliberately said casually: "So what if you want to know, so what if you don't want to know?"

"If you want to know, call me tomorrow and invite me to dinner. I will tell you, if you don't want to know, forget it." Fu Xianxian simply hung up the phone.

Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled. Fu Xianxian really has personality.

Xia Xiang was not without doubting Fu Xianxian's intention, but he also knew that from the first meeting with Fu Xianxian, Fu Xianxian went straight to the actions of him after he had an accident, Fu Xianxian visited the ward. It can be concluded that Fu Xianxian is indeed a simple girl, without too much scheming, without too many concerns, and doing whatever she wants, just for happiness.

What is the purpose of her intention to propose a deal between Yuan Mingliang and Zhao Xiaofeng? Xia Xiang was unwilling to maliciously guess Fu Xianxian's motives, but he also knew that Fu Xianxian would not send him important information for no reason, and she must have something to ask for.

No matter what, I'll make a statement in a few days. Now I really don't have time to deal with a little witch.
