Chapter 246 Who promised to help?

(Bow to thank the "libashiji" officials for their support!)

In the morning, Chen Ping took his secretary Zhang Tao to Deshengmenwai Street. Following the navigation instructions, they found the Heavy Industry Construction Planning Company. The driver Yu Dajiang found a parking space to park the car. Zhang Tao looked up at the building with the Heavy Industry Construction Planning Company sign, and couldn't help but ask Chen Ping with some concern: "Mayor Chen, is it really useful for us to come here?"

Chen Ping turned around and looked at Zhang Tao with meaningful thoughts, "Zhang Tao, I don't understand why you have such an idea?"

"Mayor Chen, of course, I don't doubt your ability. I know that your judgment has always been the most accurate. I'm just curious. Mayor Chen, didn't you say you want to find the implementation department of that important project? I thought you would go directly to the headquarters of Heavy Industry Group. After all, you also said that this time it is the State Council's investment project in Heavy Industry Group. Heavy Industry Group will definitely have a say in this regard, but I didn't expect that you would come to a heavy industry construction planning company under this group." Zhang Tao explained anxiously.

Chen Ping still did not answer Zhang Tao's doubts positively, but then asked him back: "It's not that we can't go to Heavy Industry Group, but if we go there, who do you think I should ask for help?"

Then we don’t know who to ask for help from this heavy industry construction planning company! Does it matter if Mayor Chen is here?

This was the first thought that flashed through Zhang Tao's mind, but then Zhang Tao killed this idea because, as Chen Ping's secretary, he knew Chen Ping and knew that Chen Ping's words were often not as simple as they sound. So, under such thoughts, Zhang Tao couldn't help but think deeply, and then he suddenly realized.

Zhang Tao thought that Chen Ping's words did not mean that he had any important relationship here, but that he could be more likely to move around here than at the headquarters of the Heavy Industry Group and find someone suitable for help.

You should know that Heavy Industry Group is an enterprise directly under the State Council and commissioned by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which is commonly known as a central enterprise. Although the State Council abolished the administrative level of central enterprises very early in order to make the enterprises more competitive, in fact, this level is still retained. Most of the central enterprises are sub-provincial units, and some are only at the municipal level. However, the pillar enterprises of the national military industry and steel and concrete industries such as Heavy Industry Group are provincial units.

In other words, if they want to find the person in charge, they want to find a provincial party secretary. This is not so easy for Chen Ping, who is only a department-level cadre? Not to mention that compared with government departments, central enterprises are mostly red children and are almost unregulated, so the officials in them may only be more arrogant and less accessible.

Zhang Tao believes that Chen Ping will come to this heavy industry construction planning company first after he has officially seen this.

This heavy industry construction planning company is a subsidiary of the Heavy Industry Group and a municipal unit. Since such a subordinate company is active in the commercial area outside Deshengmen for many years, the officials here will gradually move closer to the profit-seeking of merchants.

In this way, compared with the advanced aristocratic clans of the Heavy Industry Group, the Heavy Industry Construction Planning Company is obviously easier to break through, not to mention that the company just needs to know that it is still undertaking the construction and planning tasks of all Heavy Industry Group projects, which has a great say in the group and the central government's heavy industry projects.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tao lowered his head and said to Chen Ping: "I'm sorry, Mayor Chen, I understand. Mayor Chen has a very profound meaning when coming here, and I'm too much."

Judging from Zhang Tao's expression, Chen Ping believed that he really understood, so Chen Pingen said, "Zhang Tao, your worries are needed, but I hope you can think more deeply when encountering things in the future. Do you understand?"

"Thank you for Mayor Chen's teachings, I will remember them in my heart!" Zhang Tao said.

Chen Ping nodded to this and then took Zhang Tao into the company's building. Zhang Tao first found the company's communication room, informed his identity, and explained his purpose. Then the communication room verified Chen Ping's identity and asked his superiors, and sent someone to lead the two of them to the office of Jiang Yanfeng, the chief engineer of the company's construction planning.

The person from the company's communication room helped Chen Ping and Zhang Tao knock on the door of Jiang Yanfeng's office, and then Jiang Yanfeng's secretary welcomed Chen Ping and Zhang Tao into the door.

When he walked into the office, Chen Ping met Jiang Yanfeng, who was sitting on a chair. He was wearing glasses, thin and simple, and he looked more like a professor from a prestigious university than a chief engineer at a state-owned enterprise.

Jiang Yanfeng also looked at Chen Ping, his eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was a little unhappy, but Chen Ping did not intend to retreat. Chen Ping was still very proactive and generous in taking out a letter of introduction from the Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee and handed it to Jiang Yanfeng: "Hello, Chief Engineer Jiang, I am Chen Ping, deputy mayor of Luzhuang City. This time I came to see Chief Engineer Jiang. You are for a project of Heavy Industry Group next month. This is a letter of introduction issued by our Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee."

Jiang Yanfeng frowned slightly and took the letter of introduction handed over by Chen Ping. However, he just glanced at him symbolically, and then looked up and said to Chen Ping: "Hello Mayor Chen, I'm very happy to know you. I think I already know your purpose, but what puzzles me is that the decision-making power of this project should be in the hands of the Development and Reform Commission. Even if you want to find the source, you should go to the Heavy Industry Group in our unit. I don't understand why Mayor Chen, you are here to come to me? I am just an engineer in planning and design. I don't understand the matters in your political officialdom."

"I'm sorry, Chief Engineer Jiang, I don't agree with what you said. If I'm not wrong, no matter any project of the Heavy Industry Group, our unit should undertake the construction plan and have the right to decide on the heavy industry projects. And Chief Engineer Jiang, as the most important leader in the heavy industry construction plan of our unit..."

Before Chen Ping finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Yanfeng and said, "Don't say these flatteries anymore. Just tell me why you came to me? You'd better hurry up, I still have something to do and I don't have time to waste time with you."

The conversation between Jiang Yanfeng and Chen Ping made Zhang Tao start to be glad that Chen Ping chose to come to this company so wisely. Because on the National Development and Reform Commission, even if those officials got the benefits of Zhang Hui, they were at least polite to Chen Ping. However, on Jiang Yanfeng's side, he had such a merciless problem. It is conceivable what kind of treatment would be if he went to the headquarters of the Heavy Industry Group? Maybe he couldn't even pass the communication room.

However, Jiang Yanfeng's brutal tone did not cause any fluctuations in Chen Ping's mood. He said, "Okay, since Chief Engineer Jiang is in a hurry, I will finish it as soon as possible and will never take up too much time for Chief Engineer Jiang."

"That's right. The reason why I took the liberty to disturb Chief Engineer Jiang this time is actually to ask Chief Engineer Jiang to do me a favor," Chen Ping continued. "Our Luzhuang really wants and has the strength to undertake the projects of the Heavy Industry Group. However, for some reasons, the application from the Development and Reform Commission has suffered some setbacks, so I want to ask Chief Engineer Jiang to help me submit the relevant materials of our Luzhuang City to the relevant leaders of the Heavy Industry Group."

"Why didn't Mayor Chen go to the leader of the Heavy Industry Group and ask me to forward it?" Jiang Yanfeng asked again.

Chen Ping replied: "That's right. As one of the country's pillar enterprises, the leaders of the group are directly appointed by the State Council. These leaders are not as approachable as Chief Engineer Jiang."

After listening to Chen Ping's answer, Jiang Yanfeng sneered: "Mayor Chen is thinking a bit too good, right? Why should I help you? And do you know that I am just an engineer in a subsidiary of Heavy Industry Group, and it is difficult for me to meet the leaders above."

"Chief Engineer Jiang is too modest. Who doesn't know that the projects of Heavy Industry Group across the country have been strictly controlled by Chief Engineer Jiang. To a certain extent, Chief Engineer Jiang is the hero behind the development of the Heavy Industry Group?" Chen Ping continued, "And Chief Engineer Jiang has no experience in the construction planning of heavy industry projects in the country. I think he will be promoted to the leader of the Heavy Industry Group soon. If Chief Engineer Jiang is difficult to meet the leaders above, then I think no one in the country can see it."

"I didn't expect Mayor Chen to be so good at flattering," Jiang Yanfeng continued, "Now I've finished listening to Mayor Chen's words. I'll have another one to participate later. Mayor Chen will be invited back."

Jiang Yanfeng's words were like a thunder, and they stunned Zhang Tao beside him. He never thought that Jiang Yanfeng would say such a sentence.

However, thinking about Jiang Yanfeng's attitude is actually the most correct reaction. After all, Jiang Yanfeng and Chen Ping don't know each other at all. He came to the door to ask for help with a large project worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and a normal person would probably refuse. The reason why Zhang Tao was surprised was that he trusted Chen Ping too much. He believed that as long as it was Chen Ping's decision, there would be no surprises. As a result, when he heard Jiang Yanfeng's words so directly refused, the huge contrast between reality and psychology naturally made Zhang Tao unable to accept it.

Could it be that Mayor Chen made a wrong judgment this time?

Zhang Tao thought so, and then subconsciously glanced at Chen Ping. Although Zhang Tao was standing behind Chen Ping, he could still feel his calmness when he looked at Chen Ping's back, which made him relieved. He felt that Chen Ping would definitely have some backup plan. Indeed, as Zhang Tao thought, Chen Ping had a backup plan, but Chen Ping's backup plan made Zhang Tao's heart just let go, and he just hung up again.

Chen Ping said to Jiang Yanfeng very casually: "Thank you, Chief Engineer Jiang. I knew that Chief Engineer Jiang must be a very good leader and will definitely help."

As soon as Chen Ping said this, Jiang Yanfeng and Zhang Tao were both stunned. What are they talking about? Who agreed to help?
