Liu Haotian did not refuse He Qingrui's investigation, but he also did not give He Qingrui any face. He just sent Vice Mayor Gretchen to accompany him for the investigation.
And while He Qingrui was conducting research accompanied by Ge Rachel, Liu Haotian directly called Zhang Dayong, the director of the Propaganda Department, to his office.
Zhang Dayong sat carelessly opposite Liu Haotian, smoking a cigarette and saying with a smile: "Secretary Liu, do you have anything to do with me?"
Liu Haotian said coldly: "Comrade Zhang Dayong, I would like to ask, how is your publicity department doing in the field of publicity for our Tianhe Virtual Industrial Park project? Has it made any achievements?"
Zhang Dayong still had that indifferent expression: "Secretary Liu, regarding the Tianhe Virtual Industrial Park project, our Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department has done a lot of work. For example, we have printed more than 20,000 copies of the brochure alone. At the same time, we have also
We have launched extensive publicity on the Internet, television media, and print media, and we have achieved the ultimate level of publicity work."
Liu Haotian smiled: "Okay! What an extreme level of publicity work. Then I would like to ask, in the face of Donglin Group's massive publicity behavior, what kind of competitive publicity measures has your municipal party committee Propaganda Department taken?
Do you know that there is huge competition between the Donglin Virtual Industrial Park project and our Tianhe Virtual Industrial Park project?"
Zhang Dayong said calmly: "Of course I know this."
"Now that you know, why do I see more publicity about the Donglin Virtual Industrial Park project in many official media in Tianhe City than about our Tianhe Virtual Industrial Park project?
Is this too much what you have done after seeing the competition between the two of us?"
Liu Haotian's questioning voice rose a few degrees.
Zhang Dayong remained extremely calm: "Secretary Liu, I think you are a little too sensitive?
I would like to remind Secretary Liu that some of our official media, especially newspapers, are currently undertaking some advertising, and almost all the publicity for your so-called Donglin Virtual Industrial Park project is advertising space purchased by them.
And our Propaganda Department is not the manager of many media. They are some newspapers or magazines scattered in various agencies and units. They undertake these commercial advertisements to solve their own survival problems. We cannot watch them and these media go bankrupt.
, we still have to intervene randomly to prevent them from accepting Donglin Group’s advertisements, right?
Secretary Liu, when you are attracting investment, you can say that Donglin Group cannot enter despite the wind and rain, but that is because you are in a strong dominant position in this project.
However, for some magazines and newspapers in Tianhe City, the issue of survival is the first issue they need to solve. As for the position issue you mentioned, it needs to be considered only after the issue of survival has been solved.
Of course, our Propaganda Department is aware of these situations, and there is no problem with our position. However, all media under the direct management of our Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department have not undertaken any relevant advertising.
As for online media, they carry out normal forms of publicity reports according to normal operating procedures, and our Propaganda Department cannot directly deny them..."
Zhang Dayong spoke cracklingly for more than 10 minutes. What he meant was to tell Liu Haotian that our Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department has done the best we can, and there is nothing we can do about what we cannot do.
Liu Haotian listened quietly. After Zhang Dayong finished speaking, Liu Haotian took out a stack of photos from the drawer and threw them on the table. He said in a cold voice: "Comrade Zhang Dayong, what you just said was very good and clear. Let me
No one can find a single logical problem.
But I would like to ask, how do you interpret these photos?"
Zhang Dayong's eyes were a little short-sighted. He couldn't see clearly what was on the photo without reading glasses, so he took out his reading glasses from his pocket and put them on, then picked up the photo and sent it to him, waiting for him to finish reading it.
After taking these photos, his face showed a solemn look, and such large beads of sweat were falling down from his forehead.
Because these photos turned out to be photos of him drinking with some of the main leaders of the Donglin Group.
Zhang Dayong felt like his whole body was shaking.
You must know that the time when he and the Donglin Group drank together was exactly before the Donglin Group's comprehensive publicity was launched. At that time, the Donglin Group asked him to drink together so that Donglin Group's publicity would not be exposed in Donglin City.
any obstacles.
Naturally, Zhang Dayong would not directly promise them anything, but since he was willing to participate in the other party's drinking party, it was enough to explain his position and attitude.
Some things can only be done but not talked about. Especially when the two parties were drinking, they did not talk a word about publicity work. Everyone was talking about friends, and even about attracting investment. During the dinner, Zhang Dayong introduced several people to Donglin Group.
friends, and these friends happen to be the people in charge of newspapers and magazines.
As for what they were talking about, that was not Zhang Dayong's concern.
Zhang Dayong knew very well that the address of the dinner that night was quite hidden, and it was in a private club, not a public place at all. However, these photos appeared in Liu Haotian's hands. What does this mean?
Is there someone from Liu Haotian on the Donglin Group's side, or is there a traitor on his side?
Zhang Dayong's brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about what happened. He was already a little confused now.
When Liu Haotian saw Zhang Dayong's silence, he said coldly: "Comrade Zhang Dayong, could you please explain? Now that Donglin Group has fully publicized the virtual industrial park project on a large scale, at this key point, they invited you to drink. Is it just a simple matter?
Want to have a drink? Do you know what our organizational disciplines are? Does this constitute a violation of organizational disciplines?"
Zhang Dayong quickly raised his head and retorted: "Secretary Liu, I did attend their dinner, but this dinner has nothing to do with publicity work, we are talking about attracting investment.
As you know, Donglin Group is a huge capital group. They are very advanced in many fields. I contacted them mainly because I wanted to complete my personal task of attracting investment.
After all, you, Secretary Liu, will not help me attract investment, but I also have the task of attracting investment. I contacted them to complete my task of attracting investment and introduce some companies that are more powerful for the economic development of Tianhe City.
project.
Of course, regarding the virtual industrial park project, you, Secretary Liu, can say that Donglin Group can enter even if it is windy or rainy, but outside of this project, you have not said such a thing, and even if you say such a thing, listen to It's our own fault if we don't listen.
Because until now, Donglin Group is still a formal commercial enterprise. You can take some restrictive actions against them because of your dissatisfaction with them, but for me, as long as they are not defined as an illegal organization by the country, As long as they can help me complete the task of attracting investment, I am willing to contact them.
Secretary Liu, am I doing this wrong?"
I have to say that as the head of the Propaganda Department, Zhang Dayong is still very capable, and his counterattack is very powerful.
Liu Haotian nodded gently: "There is nothing wrong with your statement, but everyone is understanding. You can have 1,000 or even 10,000 reasons to explain it. I even agree with your explanation, but now The key issue is that since your dinner, Donglin Group’s publicity penetration in various fields in our Tianhe City has been very deep. The counterattack publicity measures adopted by Donglin Group in our Tianhe City for the virtual industrial park project have been pervasive. Yes, billboards for Donglin Virtual Industrial Park are erected in the streets and alleys of our Tianhe City.
Comrade Zhang Dayong, I just want to ask you: are you, the head of the Propaganda Department, capable of doing your job or not?
If you can do it, I will see the corresponding results within a week. If you can't do it, after a week, I will directly ask the provincial party committee leader to adjust the head of the Propaganda Department!
Can we ask for a director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee who cannot keep pace with the actions and arrangements of the Municipal Party Committee?
You, Comrade Zhang Dayong, put yourself in my shoes and think about it. From my standpoint, would you agree with your current claim that you have achieved the ultimate in propaganda work?"
Zhang Dayong did not expect that Liu Haotian would actually threaten him by adjusting his position, which made him both shocked and angry.
However, there was also a hint of fear in my heart.
Zhang Dayong knows very well that although Liu Haotian does not have the ability to decide his appointment or dismissal, he does have the right to make suggestions to the provincial party committee. Under normal circumstances, if the reasons given by Liu Haotian are reasonable, the provincial party committee may not agree.
Especially now, the Tianhe Virtual Industrial Park project has been listed as the provincial party committee's annual No. 1 major project. For such a project, the provincial party committee strongly supports it, and as the leader of the project team, Liu Haotian has obtained the support of Fan Zhiguo and Xie With the support of Shuguang's two bosses, if Liu Haotian proposed to replace him at this time, would he still be able to secure his position as the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Propaganda Department?
Just when Zhang Dayong didn't know how to reply to Liu Haotian, Liu Haotian's cell phone rang.
Liu Haotian glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from Vice Mayor Ge Rachel, who was responsible for accompanying He Qingrui on the investigation.
Liu Haotian directly answered the phone: "Comrade Rachel, is something okay?"
Gretchen's tone was a little low: "Secretary Liu, Vice Governor He Qingrui asked me a question just now. I don't know how to answer it. He is waiting for my answer now, so I can only ask you."
Liu Haotian nodded: "What's the problem?"
Vice Governor He asked, can our Tianhe Virtual Industrial Park project be successful? How can we ensure that with the involvement of such a huge amount of capital from the Donglin Virtual Industrial Park, we can still complete this project?"
