Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 537 Preparations

"Speaking of this coal money, Tongwei, this Tian Fengyi is really something. He blocked me on the road again today."

Qi Tongwei said, "We can't help it. It's because we owe him money that he can be right. Not to mention on the road, even if he blocks us at the provincial party committee, we won't say anything. When we have enough money, we should pay him back as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing to tell others about it."

"I thought so too, so I promised him today that I would pay him 100 million a year and pay it back within five years."

"Five years isn't too much pressure on us. I agree. By the way, have you asked him to repair the road as soon as possible?"

He An slapped his thigh and said, "How could I forget about this?"

"It's okay. I'll talk to him later. Beishan City needs to develop, so this road still needs to be built. I looked at the routes in Beishan City, and there's only one highway heading north. Can we build a highway heading south to connect to Handong? Handong is the most developed city near us, so we should take advantage of this free ride."

The two of them have connections and backgrounds in Handong. If there were a highway directly connecting Beishan and Handong, the blood transfusion speed would be much faster.

He Anxia shook his head. "I think it's difficult. This highway is not so easy to build. At least the higher-ups don't have the manpower to do it right now."

To put it bluntly, there is no money. A highway like this that spans nearly an entire province will cost at least tens of billions of yuan. China's annual tax revenue is only more than 900 billion yuan, and after deducting various expenses, the deficit is huge.

Qi Tongwei already had a plan. "Actually, we don't need to wait for funding from above. We can build it ourselves."

"Build it ourselves? Tongwei, you're kidding! It's a multi-billion dollar investment. Where are we going to get the money?"

"We don't have money, but others do. We can learn from Guangdong Province. The Guangdong-Shenzhen Expressway was built by a Hong Kong businessman. We can also find an investor to invest in it, let them operate it independently, and increase our income. It's a win-win situation."

He An lost interest and straightened himself. "That's a good idea. Coincidentally, your wife is the president of Shengtian Group. Then invite Shengtian Group to invest. I heard that Shengtian Group's market value is almost 20 billion."

"That won't work." Qi Tongwei refused without a second thought. "Anyone can do this, except Shengtian."

Qi Tongwei didn't want to leave any hidden dangers for himself.

"Besides, market value is market value, it's all fake."

He Anxia also came to his senses and nodded, "Yes, yes." He sighed and said, "This is the problem with our country. We want to do something practical but are still hesitant and concerned about this and that. As the saying goes, we should promote the virtuous without avoiding relatives. In the final analysis, we have no selfish motives."

"Whether or not there are selfish motives is not up to us to say. Everything has two sides. The restrictions on us also limit corruption. At least some of our cadres dare not be so blatant."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter!"

"Oh, Comrade Anxia is here too." Lin Gangjian walked in.

He Anxia said first: "The city's focus now is development, and as the city party secretary, I have to make concessions, so our first secretaries' meeting is held here with Comrade Tongwei."

Lin Gangjian was a little surprised at the relationship between the two. After all, the municipal party secretary was the top leader, but now it seemed that Qi Tongwei was the leader.

"Comrade Anxia is very open-minded. No wonder he became the squad leader at such a young age. Actually, as for matters concerning the city, you two just need to discuss them. As long as you think it's appropriate, I support you."

He Anxia said, "How can that be? The Red Star Party doesn't have a one-man show. If we two make the final decision, wouldn't that be disrespectful to our veteran comrades? You should take a look. You've been in Beishan City for a long time and are familiar with its work. Please provide evidence for us."

If there's anything wrong, please speak up and fill in the gaps. We'll discuss it later. Tongwei, please tell Comrade Gangjian about our ideas first."

Qi Tongwei nodded, picked up the document on the table and handed it to Lin Gangjian, and then talked about some resolutions they had just discussed and some new policies above.

Lin Gangjian flipped through the documents silently and listened to Qi Tongwei's explanation absent-mindedly.

These two people kept saying that they respected the old comrades, but in reality, the matter had been finalized long ago. They asked him to come just to have a title, a title in the name of the Municipal Party Committee. After all, he was the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Without his nod, the righteousness of the Municipal Party Committee would be somewhat untenable.

Lin Gangjian hummed a few times perfunctorily, then put the document back on the table and said, "Okay, I have no objection, let's do it this way."

Qi Tongwei said, "Okay, I'll have it distributed to all districts and counties, and published in tomorrow's city newspaper."

"You guys decide." Lin Gangjian showed little interest.

After seeing Lin Gangjian off, He Anxia began to ponder over the deputy secretary again. "Tongwei, it seems this deputy secretary is truly 'lying flat'."

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "It's not good to lie flat. He has been in Beishan City for more than ten years. If he doesn't lie flat, we will have to add a lot of trouble."

"That's true. Okay, I'll leave the details to you. My waist hurts from sitting all the way back. I'll go back and lie down for a while after my early shift." He Anxia stood up and twisted his waist.

"You!" Qi Tongwei nodded at He An and waved his hand.

After He Anxia left, he picked up the phone beside him and called several trusted deputy mayors to start the specific division of labor.

Planning and building two factories is the top priority and a major undertaking, so it was naturally given to Xu Lian and Jiang Hua.

"Lao Xu, you'll be in charge of the car preparations. My requirement is that our first car rolls off the assembly line by next May. Don't be afraid to spend money; this is crucial to whether Beishan City can successfully launch its first production. Also, someone will be meeting with you in the next few days regarding the car's design. Remember, appearance is our key to success, and everything else must serve that purpose."

As early as when he had the plan to build cars, Qi Tongwei had already commissioned Shengtian Group to look for professional talents, who would be able to rush to Beishan soon.

The first car he finished was a QQ in later generations. This classic car model must be enough to crush this era.

Xu Lian responded.

The car has been arranged, and the construction of another industrial vehicle cannot be neglected. Qi Tongwei handed it over to Jiang Hua.

There is no need to look outside for talent in the field of industrial vehicles. Beishan City, once the son of industry, still has many experts in the field of industrial vehicles, and even has such companies itself.

He needs to reorganize these companies. The previous brands are unknown, so he can change their names. For example, the forklift can be called Hancha, which is simple and easy to understand.

He even thought of a slogan: Chinese Hancha, improving the future.

As for Xia Ying, Fei Dawei is responsible for matters related to basic living security.

The specific work is clearly divided.
