******************
Ono Toshio was indeed very fast. Just after Secretary Yue Shan received the delegation from the Japan-China Friendship Association, there were rumors of resumption of negotiations. After the representatives of the Ono Consortium received instructions from the province, the steel mills in the same city began a new round of negotiations.
negotiation.
This time, compared to last time, the Ono Consortium has a lot more thoughts. If the conditions are too harsh, the negotiations will break down. In that case, there will really be no chance for cooperation.
Such changes, of course, surprised many people who didn't know what was going on.
Why was the big order that was previously negotiated silent? Why did the Ono Consortium, which had threatened to leave, come back to talk? Why did the province automatically ignore the Ono Consortium's previous behavior of provoking trouble in the city's steel mills? Why is President Yu of the East China Shen Yun Base still in a daze?
Didn’t leave at Longcheng Hotel?
All these things have touched everyone's heartstrings.
Hedong Province, which is located in the Central Plains and has always been relatively slow to open up, has gradually become a little restless because of these storms. Everyone is trying desperately to see the situation clearly, but unfortunately the situation is always unclear.
of.
"I'm old, I'm old..." Deputy Secretary Gu Cheng rarely had free time and returned to his old yard on the outskirts of the city.
It was already the end of March, and the peach blossoms outside the yard were in full bloom, with a pleasant fragrance. You could smell the breath of spring from a long distance away.
This is also Gu Cheng's habit. At this time of year, he always comes to live in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city for a while.
In other words, this can be regarded as an outing, but on the outskirts of this provincial capital, it really cannot be said to be a complete pastoral life.
Gu Cheng's wife came out, carrying a handful of wild vegetables that others had brought over. They were very fresh. It was said that they had just been picked from the ground, and they were planning to use them to make porridge at night.
As a person born in the old society, Gu Cheng has undoubtedly not forgotten the hard days of the past. It cannot be said that he is reminiscing about the hardships and thinking about the sweetness. It can only be said that such a life allows him to regain many memories and think about some early memories.
People and things disappear.
The sun was shining brightly. Gu Cheng patted his legs, which felt a little numb.
This is also an old problem. I remember when he was still young during the steel smelting, he jumped into waist-deep muddy water to work, and ended up with this problem. It was okay when the weather was good, but every time the weather changed
It’s particularly uncomfortable during the season.
"At that time, I didn't seem to have any other ideas. I was just focused on working. But now, I have power and money, but I can't calm down in my heart. It's really unimaginable." Gu Cheng sat across from him.
Said the man who was watching him sunbathing next to him.
"This is normal." The person next to me replied, "As people get older, they tend to have random thoughts. Maybe they have experienced too many things in their lives and their thoughts are complicated."
"Lao Hu, you are much younger than me, and you will still have a bright future in the future." Gu Cheng glanced at Vice Governor Hu who was sitting next to him and smiled.
"It's really hard to say. In this situation, I'm always walking on thin ice." Vice Governor Hu shook his head and said, "If you really put extra pressure on me, it would be very difficult to cope with it."
The relationship between the two of them is extraordinary. Although there is a big difference in age, among the senior cadres in Hedong Province, they can be said to belong to the same sect and share the same blood.
If Gu Cheng leaves, then the person who will inherit his political mantle will undoubtedly be Vice Governor Hu.
As Vice Governor Hu, who has been in charge of the industrial system for a long time, naturally knows much about Hedong Province, a major energy province, and he also understands better what the crux of the problem is in Hedong Province today.
"Secretary Gu, the Japanese are back again and have restarted negotiations with the city's steel mills." Vice Governor Hu said to Gu Cheng, "because the order for the East China Shen Yun Base may be cancelled."
After hearing this, Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "Private companies are unreliable. What can I say? What was clearly agreed upon has changed again. What do you call this?"
"Because the details have not been negotiated, the contract has not been signed at that time, and there is no guarantee in black and white. Of course, people can turn their backs and refuse to acknowledge it at any time," Vice Governor Hu replied.
"The ancients talked about a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold, but today's people..." Gu Cheng shook his head, and he himself felt a little funny, "Haha, what's wrong with me? I just remember shaking my head today."
Vice Governor Hu smiled along with him, but he felt a little emotional in his heart. Secretary Gu was indeed old, especially in this section.
Probably because of his son Gu Bing's incident, Gu Cheng has been thinking very hard recently. He tried his best to compete with Ye Kai for a higher position, but he was repeatedly frustrated. When something happened at the city steel factory, the two of them
Everyone thought Ye Kai was about to be defeated, but they didn't expect Zhong Liyu to come out.
If it hadn't been for the big order placed by Zhong Liyu, the city's steel factory would have been in chaos long ago, and Ye Kai would have been unable to bear it because of the mass incident. Unfortunately, the conspiracy was not as good as the order, and the Japanese came back in vain, leaving Ye Kai in vain.
Kai won over the hearts and minds of the city's steel mills and gained extra points in the eyes of provincial leaders.
Since that time, Gu Cheng seemed to have aged a lot, and he had lost his ambition to win.
"The Two Sessions will be held soon, and I have plans to retreat." Gu Cheng suddenly said to Vice Governor Hu.
"What? Secretary Gu, are you kidding me?!" Sure enough, after hearing Gu Cheng's words, Vice Governor Hu was so surprised that he almost threw the teacup he just picked up in his hand.
But Vice Governor Hu looked at the calm expression on Gu Cheng's face and confirmed that he didn't say what he said in a moment of excitement, nor did he seem to be out of his mind. Then he asked doubtfully, "Why?"
In fact, at Gu Cheng's current age, although it is unlikely that he will advance further, it is still not a big problem to hold on for three to five years. But I don't know why he suddenly wants to retreat?
"I can't tell. It's just that I suddenly lost my fighting spirit." Gu Cheng touched his hair with his hand and replied indifferently, "Maybe after seeing Ye Kai's little devil, he suddenly realized that he was old, right? You also know
Yes, once people have this kind of thinking, they age faster. Recently, I can't sleep well at night, and my mind is in a mess."
After hearing this, Vice Governor Hu could understand Gu Cheng's mood, but he felt a feeling of sadness.
The Gu Cheng of today is the Vice-Governor Hu of tomorrow. Thinking of this, Vice-Governor Hu naturally felt a little bit hurt by others, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Secretary Gu, your mentality is unacceptable!" However, Vice Governor Hu quickly realized, "You are the leader of our Hedong faction. If you retreat now, our local faction will not have a leader.
You are aware of the current situation. Once we lose our core figures, we will fall apart under the pressure of the Beijing faction and the Southern faction. You can’t leave at this time!"
"Well, what can I do if I don't leave?" Gu Cheng's mentality was very calm at this time, waving his hands and saying, "Today is different from the past. The wind and rain always blow away the wind, and now it is the world of young people. Moreover,
The central government obviously does not have a good opinion of local factions like us. In their eyes, we are representatives of the inevitable forces."
Vice Governor Hu suddenly fell silent after hearing this.
What Gu Cheng said is indeed correct. Suppressing local factions is the general trend.
Now the central government’s intention is clear: it wants to take back power.
If it were twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, a frontier official like the secretary of the party committee or the governor of the province would have a very powerful power. If you say something unpleasant, you would sometimes want to boycott the central government's policies.
All can be done.
But now, it is no longer possible to do that. At most, you can only do it in disguise, and you need to be careful about being caught by your opponents. This is the biggest difference, so the local factions have reached a dead end, and now they are just hanging on.
Although the current secretary of Hedong Province, Yueshan, is also from Hedong, he has actually been working as an official outside. He is not really a Hedong official. He is more of an official of the Hedong faction. He is more focused on taking over power for the central government and dismantling and dividing the local forces in Hedong, which has made the entire
Hedong Province can be integrated into this large system as soon as possible.
It is never a good thing to be closed and self-locked. It is the mortal enemy of reform and opening up. Therefore, as a local force that favors necessity, it is naturally the target that the central government should focus on cracking down on.
Unfortunately, Gu Cheng and Vice Governor Hu both fall into the category of people who have been attacked in this way.
"I have no turning back, and I am getting old. You are in your prime, and you still have a chance to go out." Gu Cheng looked at Vice Governor Hu who was sitting next to him and said nothing, and said something sincere to him, "
If you go out, you have the possibility of development. Don’t miss the opportunity and regret it later.”
After hearing Gu Cheng's words, Vice Governor Hu couldn't help but think about it.
Gu Cheng stood up, patted Vice Governor Hu on the shoulder, then slowly walked towards the peach blossom forest with his hands behind his back.
"Go out?" Vice Governor Hu raised his head, looked at Gu Cheng's back, and muttered to himself, but he caught a glimmer of light in his heart. He couldn't say that he could only compete in this competition by taking this path.
Survive in the fierce officialdom.
Obviously, Gu Cheng's willingness to say such words to him proves that Gu Cheng indeed has no intention of fighting anymore.
Gu Bing's incident had already troubled Gu Cheng. When he realized that the central government's suppression of him was unavoidable, Gu Cheng finally realized that instead of being pulled down, he might as well be more sensible and take the initiative to hand over power.
, or you can still come to a better end, so that you won't be counterattacked, and you won't be safe in the late game.
Of course, among all the people at Gu Cheng's level, who could see things so thoroughly and be able to make a complete decision to delegate power?
"What a pity, Secretary Gu..." Vice Governor Hu looked at Gu Cheng's back and couldn't help but sigh.
But what Gu Cheng said was right. Vice Governor Hu felt that he had to find a way out. If he stayed in Hedong, he would definitely not end well.
