Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang looked at each other with a wry smile, and then Sun Xiang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Secretary Chen, we will definitely clean it up, we will definitely clean it up. Haha."
"In fact, last year I discussed with Secretary Zhang to renovate this place, because this place is right on the roadside, with piles of garbage, which greatly affects the appearance of the county. However, due to funding issues, it has been postponed until now..."
Chen Yan turned back and glanced at Sun Xiang, "You're crying for money again? Let me tell you, there is no money, but the environment must be improved. You can find your own way! I don't care about the future, but now the provincial party committee Zhou
The secretary is coming, and this noisy place must be covered up."
Sun Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Chen, you are not crying about being poor, you are really poor."
"We must find a way to deal with it ourselves. Even if we don't have the funds, we will mobilize all the cadres and workers in the county to clean it up themselves, in the form of voluntary labor."
"But, Secretary Chen, the garbage in this place has been accumulating for many years, and it may not be finished in a while. You see, Secretary Zhou will be here soon. This, uh..." Sun Xiang turned around and glanced at Zhang Qiang.
He said it in a roundabout way.
Chen Yan stared at the huge hill of construction debris below and pondered for a long time.
Suddenly, she raised her head and smiled at Zhang Qiang and the others, "It's not impossible. I would like to make two suggestions. First, organize vehicles, transport earthwork from there, bury a piece of the body, and then slightly
Once it's flat, it won't be visible from the outside; secondly, use a plastic tarpaulin to cover the whole place, and cover it with a layer of loose soil until it can handle the inspection by the provincial party committee leaders for the time being."
Zhang Qiang frowned and thought that it was simply not feasible to cover it with earth. Covering it like this would be of no use. Sooner or later, it would have to be removed and cleaned again. Wouldn't this cause trouble in the future? As for this plastic tarpaulin cover... it is okay.
Think about it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang stepped forward and smiled softly, "Well, Secretary Chen, let's use plastic sheeting to cover it as you said? I'll ask someone to get a tarp, preferably the kind of military canvas.
, then cover it with a shallow layer of loose soil..."
Chen Yan nodded, "Well, that's it, we have to do it quickly. Another thing we need to pay attention to is that we have to do it naturally. Don't let the leaders of the provincial party committee see that it's just you who are committing fraud."
Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself, how could this be fraud on our part? Aren't we forced by you, an old woman... How can we have such fantastic ideas?
Chen Yan's "wonderful suggestion" left Zhou Nan speechless. After listening to Chen Yan's words, he suddenly remembered the "shame wall" launched somewhere when he read a newspaper in his previous life——
On both sides of some roads in poverty-stricken counties, bright and clean high walls that are several kilometers long have been erected. The walls are uniformly painted blue and painted with patterns. Some walls are even covered with glazed tiles, which is really beautiful. Behind the wall, there is
The farmers' adobe walls and dilapidated courtyards form a sharp contrast.
Also in order to cope with inspections from superiors, Chen Yan's idea is almost the same as the above-mentioned "shame wall". Putting a plastic tarpaulin on the garbage dump can also be called a "fig leaf", right?
Although they disagreed in their hearts, Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang had no choice but to agree immediately and immediately arranged for people to buy tarpaulins and clean up the pile of construction waste overnight.
Seeing how late it was, Chen Yan finally lost interest in continuing the inspection work, and the four of them drove straight to the county party committee office to prepare for the meeting.
When getting into the car, Zhang Qiang called Zhou Nan into his car.
As soon as the car started moving, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but complained to Zhou Nan in a low voice, "My dear, my dear mother, she is going to die from this torture... I think we can arrange for her to go to the countryside tomorrow and stay in the county.
I don’t know how many faults I have to find without torturing people to death?”
Zhou Nan chuckled and said, "Secretary Zhang, if the leader just says a word, he will break his leg if he runs down there... There is nothing we can do. Just do whatever she says. There is no way to bargain with the leader for this kind of thing... At least, wait until Secretary Zhou leaves.
Liberated."
Hearing the two leaders talking about Chen Yan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, behind his back, and the words were not very respectful, Zhang Qiang's driver felt nervous and concentrated on driving, pretending not to hear anything, pretending to be deaf to the car.
He acted like a domestic official, not even daring to interrupt or even breathe loudly.
For his own safety, he chose to "forget" and forcibly blocked the words of Zhang Qiang and Zhou Nan from his ears.
"I've always wanted to talk to you about Secretary Zhou's visit." Zhang Qiang's expression became solemn, and he said thoughtfully, "Secretary Zhou's arrival was very sudden this time, but in any case it illustrates a problem: that is, the recent arrival of Secretary Zhou in our county
The development trend is good and has attracted the attention of upper-level leaders. This is a great thing for the county."
It is not of much use to Ningshan County, but it is indeed a good thing for you, the county party secretary, and a great opportunity for your promotion. Zhou Nan thought to himself, but his expression was very calm.
"Secretary Zhou's visit this time means that the provincial leaders are beginning to pay attention to the economic development of poor counties, especially poor counties like ours in old revolutionary areas. It also means preferential policy support. We must seize this opportunity.
"
"Secretary Zhou must be here to see the project...I mean, we'd better hold a new project opening ceremony during the two days that Secretary Zhou is here...This will not only allow the leaders to attend, but also create a comprehensive atmosphere."
The county's economy is developing rapidly and investment promotion is booming. We can also use media publicity to further expand the influence of Ningshan County."
Zhang Qiang looked at Zhou Nan and smiled as he spoke.
Zhou Nan was startled, hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Secretary Zhang, are you talking about the two projects in Kaoshan Village? I'm afraid it's too late. Besides, those two projects have already entered the construction stage. Sky Group is afraid
I won’t agree to stop work to hold a ceremony.”
"How about...invite the Hong Kong company to come over quickly and let's talk to them about the 1 million-ton steel project? While Secretary Zhou is here, we can hold a signing ceremony for framework cooperation and have Secretary Zhou attend it.
It can also be regarded as a gift to the provincial party committee leaders for coming to Ningshan."
Zhang Qiang was overjoyed and said loudly, "Comrade Zhou Nan, this is the best, but can it be done in time? Please contact Hong Kong as soon as possible to see if they can confirm the itinerary. If confirmed, we will make preparations immediately...
…”
Looking at Zhang Qiang's excitement, Zhou Nan smiled inwardly.
The arrival of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou Xiaolin is something Zhang Qiang takes very seriously. This will definitely be an important opportunity for him to be promoted and cross the threshold of deputy department level. Of course, this is also an opportunity for Zhou Nan. According to the current situation, if Zhang Qiang is promoted
And then, the county magistrate Sun Xiang may take over as the county party committee secretary, and he, the executive deputy county magistrate, will naturally take over as the magistrate of Ningshan County and truly become the administrative head of Ningshan County.
Although he is now considered an important core leader of Ningshan County, there are still some huge differences between the executive deputy county magistrate and the county magistrate.
Zhou Nan is not a person who likes to procrastinate. Once he decides on something, he will put it into effect immediately.
"Secretary Zhang, I will call the Hong Kong authorities right away." Zhou Nan took out his mobile phone and started calling Zhang Ying in Hong Kong.
This Hong Kong company called Xinsheng Investment is actually a company invested and established in Hong Kong by a Singaporean company. It uses Hong Kong as a springboard to target the mainland and prepares to enter the promising mainland market.
The boss of Xinsheng Investment is named Ouyang Xinsheng, a Chinese born in Singapore. He has a close relationship with Zhang Ying, who is in charge of the business of Feiteng Group in Hong Kong. It was Zhang Ying who introduced Ouyang Xinsheng to Zhou Nan when Zhou Nan went to Hong Kong for the Spring Festival.
of.
Ouyang Xinsheng is optimistic about the rapid development of the mainland economy. He believes that the demand for steel in the mainland market will increase on a large scale in the future, because all cities in the mainland are undergoing major infrastructure construction. Therefore, Ouyang Xinsheng is preparing to invest in a 1 million-ton cold-rolled sheet project in the mainland.
Steel projects, but such energy-intensive projects require the support and cooperation of local governments, and Ouyang Xinsheng has never found a suitable partner.
Ouyang Xinsheng was moved when he heard that Zhou Nan, the former boss of Feiteng Group, gave up business and entered politics and became the executive deputy county magistrate of a county in Binhai Province in the mainland. His county was also vigorously promoting investment promotion.
Zhang Ying introduced me to Zhou Nan for a meeting. However, Zhou Nan felt that this kind of project was relatively polluting, so he never made up his mind. Although he did not reject it, he did not nod his opinion.
Zhang Ying was talking to her subordinates when she suddenly received a call from Zhou Nan. Naturally, she was very surprised and happy. Generally speaking, Zhang Ying would not take the initiative to call Zhou Nan unless Zhou Nan took the initiative to call Zhang Ying.
But when Zhang Ying answered the phone, she heard Zhou Nan call herself "Mr. Zhang" in a serious manner. She knew that it was inconvenient for him to speak now and that he must have "serious business", so she sighed lightly and just hummed.
"Mr. Zhang, can you still contact Ouyang Xinsheng, the boss of Xinsheng Company you introduced last time?" Zhou Nan smiled.
"Yes, he is in Hong Kong." Zhang Ying replied in surprise, and immediately realized that Zhou Nan must be interested in the cooperation project proposed by Ouyang Xinsheng.
"In this case, you contact Ouyang Xinsheng for me immediately, and you tell me that I will report to the main leaders of the county committee when I come back, and the main leaders of the county committee agree to further negotiations between the two of us..."
Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows and smiled again, "You talk to Ouyang Xinsheng. If he is interested, he will reply to me immediately. It is best to come to the county within the next two days and we can meet and talk."
Seeing Zhou Nan say this, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but smiled bitterly and lowered his voice and said with gestures, "Comrade Zhou Nan, be polite, be polite! Just say that our county committee and government officially invite businessmen to come to the county to inspect investment matters..."
Zhou Nan smiled, "Well, you tell Boss Ouyang, just say that our leaders have said that our county committee and government officially invite Xinsheng Company to Ningshan County for inspection... If necessary, we can do it in the name of the Ningshan County People's Government.
Send an invitation letter to Xinsheng Company."
"So anxious?" Zhang Ying was very surprised, but did not continue to ask. He just hesitated and agreed, "I will contact Ouyang Xinsheng immediately. No matter what the result is, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Zhou Nan hummed and hung up the phone.
Zhang Qiang asked with a smile, "How's it going? What did the other party say?"
"Haha, Secretary Zhang, I didn't contact the boss of that company. I contacted the senior president of Feiteng Group in Hong Kong. I asked her to help me contact... She should give me an answer before tonight.
"
Zhang Qiang took a breath and nodded, "Okay, this is best. If this matter is implemented, our county will have something substantial in front of the provincial party committee leaders... Otherwise, we can just let the leaders
Listening to the report and visiting the construction site? There must be an activity to enrich the atmosphere!"
As he was talking, the county party committee's compound arrived.
Several cars stopped in front of the county party committee office building. Chen Yan got out of the car without stopping and headed straight to the office building. Zhang Qiang, Sun Xiang, and Zhou Nan quickly followed.
The staff at the reception desk who had been waiting at the door of the small conference room took the initiative to open the door of the conference room as soon as the leaders arrived.
Chen Yan walked in accompanied by three people. There were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room, and they immediately clapped at Zhou Nan's signal.
The warm applause made the expression on Chen Yan's face soften.
Chen Yan sat down first with a smile, and Zhang Qiang and the other three also sat down. Zhou Nan glanced at it and saw that although Zhang Ningning did not come in person, he had sent a vice president from Sky Group Ningshan Company, and several other projects.
The main person in charge of the project came, and the Feiteng Group Garment Industrial Park Project Department also came with a vice president, which gave Zhou Nan enough face.
Zhou Nan sat there with a smile and introduced people from the company to Chen Yan. These people stood up one after another and shook hands with Chen Yan respectfully. The process of polite greetings took more than ten minutes.
…
…
It was already 7 o'clock in the evening after the meeting. The four people left the county committee and went to the reception desk of the county committee for a banquet. In any case, Chen Yan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, led the city's working group to Ningshan to inspect and supervise the work. As the Ningshan County Committee, there is no organization.
A decent reception banquet cannot be justified.
The banquet was divided into two tables. At one table was Chen Dong, deputy secretary of the county party committee, accompanied by other members of the working group, several deputies from various departments in the city, and deputy division-level cadres.
The other table was hosted by County Party Secretary Zhang Qiang, accompanied by County Mayor Sun Xiang and Deputy County Party Secretary and Executive Deputy County Mayor Zhou Nan. The only guest was Chen Yan.
With the deliberate ingratiation of everyone in the county, the atmosphere of the banquet was certainly good. Chen Yan was very satisfied and even took the initiative to drink a few glasses of red wine. Only Chen Dong was not in a high mood and felt uncomfortable, so he had to talk to the deputy directors of the city.
The senior cadres were socializing, but after a while, he, the master, made the guests drunk.
While eating, Zhou Nan received a call from Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying told him on the phone that Ouyang Xinsheng was very happy and immediately promised to come over as soon as possible to discuss cooperation with Ningshan County. Details of coming to Ningshan and time
, he needs to confirm with Zhou Nan in person.
After Zhang Ying obtained Zhou Nan's consent, she gave Zhou Nan's mobile phone number to Ouyang Xinsheng. Ouyang Xinsheng called shortly after.
Zhou Nan hid in the bathroom and talked with Ouyang Xinsheng for about ten minutes. They made an agreement with the other party that Ouyang Xinsheng and his people came to Ningshan on March 1, which was the first day of the provincial party committee secretary Zhou Xiaolin's inspection in Ningshan.
.
Ouyang Xinsheng initially felt a little strange that Zhou Nan was so anxious. Later, he heard from Zhou Nan that Binhai Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou Xiaolin was in Ningshan County for investigation and inspection at the time and could take the opportunity to seek some preferential policy support from above, so he readily agreed.
In fact, apart from the project itself, Xinsheng Company is also one of the partners of Feiteng Industry in Hong Kong. The two parties have a very close relationship. Even if it is to compliment Zhou Nan, Ouyang Xinsheng will not reject Zhou Nan's proposal.
Zhou Nan hurried back to the private room and saw Chen Dong walking in drunkenly and toasting Chen Yan, so he quietly sat back in his seat.
Zhang Qiang glanced at Zhou Nan after hearing the news, but he did not shy away from Chen Yan. He smiled and said, "How is it? Comrade Zhou Nan, what do the Hong Kong merchants say?"
Zhou Nan smiled and said, "Secretary Zhang, it's done. The Hong Kong people agreed to come over and talk to us as soon as possible. I have set a time with him, and they will arrive on the 28th... If possible, we can come on March 1st
Or arrange a signing ceremony on the 2nd.”
Zhang Qiang was overjoyed and exchanged glances with Sun Xiang. He raised his glass and nodded to Zhou Nan. The three of them clinked their glasses with a smile, and then each drank a drink.
Although Chen Yan was talking to Chen Dong, she still heard the movements of the three of them, so she smiled lightly and interjected, "Why, your county is going to start another project? Just when Secretary Zhou comes?"
Zhang Qiang laughed loudly and said, "Secretary Chen, you are about to report to the leadership. This is it: Comrade Zhou Nan went to Hong Kong to solicit investment on behalf of the county committee and county government this time, and negotiated a project. It is a one-million-ton steel project. The first phase investment
At 150 million... Comrade Zhou Nan just confirmed with Hong Kong that they will come over to discuss substantive cooperation with the county soon."
"We originally wanted to stagger the time, but then we thought about it. The leaders of the provincial party committee came to our county to inspect the investment promotion work in poverty-stricken counties. With such a project, it didn't seem to be a bad thing, so we decided not to change the date... Haha
.”
Zhang Qiang laughed, Sun Xiang also laughed, and Zhou Nan smiled and said nothing.
Chen Yan said oh, turned her head and glanced at Zhou Nan, and there were some complicated meanings in her eyes - she didn't have much contact with Zhou Nan, but after this afternoon of contact today, although she had preconceived prejudices in her heart, she
It cannot be denied that the young cadre in front of him possesses extraordinary abilities and energy, which are far beyond what Chen Dong can match.
In the officialdom after the reform and opening up, economic development is a major event, which also means the political achievements of local officials. Chen Yan knows in her heart that young cadres like Zhou Nan will definitely have a bright future given time.
Only then did she understand why Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao and Mayor Ma Liguo valued so much a so-called young poverty alleviation cadre who had been handed down from the Provincial Party Committee.
"Comrade Xiao Zhou is good. He made a trip to Hong Kong and brought a million-ton project to the county with an investment of more than 100 million. This is a key project not only in Ningshan County, but also in the city."
Chen Yan picked up the wine glass with a smile, "Come, Comrade Zhou Nan, let's have a drink. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Government, I would like to thank you for your great contribution to the economic development of Ningshan County."
