However, he soon discovered a problem. The weight of the rifle was much heavier than other trade items. A rifle, including ammunition and packaging, weighed at least five or six kilograms. After traveling thousands of miles, if the price is not as high as expected, it will not be able to compensate for the freight.
"I have to go to the intelligence center to check the prices of weapons in Europe." Liu Xiang thought.
Liu Xiang has entered the Central Planning Commission mode... How to develop Guangzhou, Liu Xiang has been preparing for so long and naturally has some plans in mind. However, in the current climate of full funding and direct management by the central government, it is difficult to say whether it is consistent with the planning institute's plan and how much room for flexibility it leaves for itself. In order to make his plan more convincing and to have more room for bargaining with the Planning Institute and the Government Affairs Council, Liu Xiang needs more "proof materials."
While he was busy, the guard came to report: Chairman Qian sent someone to invite him to "have afternoon tea."
Qian Shuiting didn't know when he would return yesterday. Anyway, when Liu Xiang rushed to the Feiyun, his eye circles were still a little dark. He seemed worried.
"What happened yesterday? It's so serious. Are we going to hold a joint meeting?" Liu Xiang took a muffin from the three-tier refreshment stand, spread some cream on it, and put it in his mouth.
"Speaking of it, it's the family affairs of the elders. They also involve the life secretary." Qian Shuiting was upset, "One committed suicide. The other involved the second generation of the Yuan Dynasty..."
"Wait? You mean something happened to the life secretary again?" Liu Xiang said in surprise.
Although the life secretary is not a senator, he is his pillow person, and his significance is not comparable to that of ordinary naturalized citizens. The Yang Jihong case caused a huge disturbance, and people from all walks of life jumped out to eat human blood steamed buns. This matter finally settled down. There are still many doubts in it, and now there is another suicide case!
"A suicide case, are you sure?"
"Yeah." Qian Shuiting nodded. "There is a suicide note, and the on-site investigation has been roughly confirmed. This matter is a bit complicated. It is not good for it to spread. Forensic doctor Su went to do an autopsy, and even my wife was consulted for some details... I won't go into details here. The executive committee has ordered it to be kept secret, please wait and see the specific notification.”
Liu Xiang nodded. I guess this may have tarnished the elder's image a bit.
"Then what you said about the second generation of the Yuan Dynasty..."
"Do you remember Zhang Yunmi who came to our house yesterday?"
"I remember, she was a very beautiful girl." Not only did she remember, but Liu Xiang also had some thoughts about her...
"It's a matter at home. Her father's secretary beats the child."
Liu Xiang was shocked: This is looking for death! He immediately realized that Chairman Qian was talking about the life secretary giving birth to a child, and Zhang Yunmi was from the "generation", commonly known as the "little elder". Whether the second generation can become elders is still unknown.
"Hit the child? What's going on?"
"Didn't her father have a son and a daughter after marrying the life secretary? The eldest daughter is in kindergarten. But the kindergarten teacher found that something seemed wrong with this girl. After a closer look, there were traces of being beaten on her body..." said With. Qian Shuixie took a long puff of his cigar, puffed it out, and then continued: "I smoked it with something, and it's all green."
"It's so outrageous, child abuse!"
Qian Shuiting shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. This silly girl, when I asked her, she said it was Zhang Yunmi who beat her. But Zhang Yunmi basically lived in school and had no chance to fight. Later, several aunts called in Principal Qian coaxed the child together before asking. It was Lao Zhang's life secretary who beat him, and he even instigated the child to tell anyone who asked about it that it was his sister who beat him..."
"This..." Liu Xiang was completely speechless - is it so straightforward to seek death?
"Is this really my mother? Lao Zhang is just a life secretary!" Liu Xiang took a sip of ice-cold kvass to calm down, and then asked: "The expanded meeting was held to discuss this matter? How to deal with it?"
Liu Xiang thought about it. The elders, the life secretary, the son, the daughter, and the eldest daughter from his ex-wife, if you just think about it, it will be a big drama, and the executive committee will have a headache.
"You are the one who suffered the karma!" He accidentally said a dialect in his wandering mind, and he didn't know whether he was lamenting Zhang Yunmi or the little girl who was beaten.
"I asked the doctor to check it out, and he said there was no big problem." Qian Shuiting sighed and said, "At first, I was afraid that it was Lao Zhang who ordered me to do it. After all, not everyone shows his preference for boys over girls. We sent someone to Notified, Lao Zhang immediately rushed to see his daughter. It seems that she is really unaware."
"The general office interrogated Lao Zhang's personal secretary and said that it was the girl who knocked his brother down. She got angry and slapped him."
"She rebelled against her! How dare the life secretary beat up the second generation!" Liu Xiang was filled with indignation, "No slave would beat up his master, he should be dragged out and hanged!"
Qian Shuiting shook his head: "The general office's opinion is to fire him from public service and send him to a labor camp. In addition, we will find a life secretary for Lao Zhang."
"That's not good."
Qian Shuiting sighed: "But Lao Zhang insisted on letting it go. He said that he would take the life secretary back to the family to deal with it. We can't say anything." After saying that, Qian Shuiting shook his head, "He is. He took the whole family away, and we stayed for a half-day meeting. This is about going to the "Minor Protection Act."
Liu Xiang frowned when he heard this, and felt that there were many doubts: just when he was angry, just slap it on him, and the baby would stop crying or making fuss? As a mother, you don’t want to take her to the hospital for medicine? According to Qian Shuiting, such thick whip marks are painful even when wearing clothes! Also, why would you instigate your children to frame your sister who lives in school all year round? However... Lao Zhang advocated letting things go and settling down...
Zhang Yunmi's young and fit figure suddenly appeared in Liu Xiang's mind...
"I can understand Lao Zhang's thinking, but this idea is too naive." Liu Xiang couldn't help complaining, "He probably thought that no matter what, it would be better than having three children all with stepmothers... He never thought that he was a senior …”
"Who says it's not?" Qian Shuiting shook his head, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Now the general office is drafting documents to see if we can come up with new measures to prevent such things..."
"Ahem! You have to keep the tone. Don't make it look like the "Protection of Juvenile Offenders Act."
"Haha, how could it be? It's the "Regulations on the Protection of Children of Underage Elders." Qian Shuiting smiled implicitly, "One of the great benefits of the new time and space is that you don't need to be precise." He changed the subject, "How about yours? Guangzhou has been appointed."
"It's ready to be announced."
"So Guo Dongzhu is back."
"Yes." Liu Xiang nodded, "It's certain that he will come back."
There was a complicated look in Qian Shuiting's eyes. Guo Yi's ability is hard to say, and his status in the "Guanglei Sect" is also hard to say. Qian Shuiting has also tried to win over Guo Yi many times and through multiple channels. It is a pity that Guo Yi firmly adheres to the line of "supporting whoever is on the rostrum" and keeps a distance from the members of the Zhai Party.
"The original Guangzhou team is also going to be adjusted?"
"That's for sure." Liu Xiang said, "But the Organization Office also said: It's not necessary to transfer him back."
"It's not good for you to transfer them all back. There are only a few people who are familiar with the local situation, so it's very troublesome to take over power. Speaking of which, the People's Liberation Army also has to rely on the help of underground parties to take over big cities."
"Of course," Liu Xiang knew what he meant immediately, "When I go to be the mayor of Guangzhou, I will definitely have to rely on the comrades at Guangzhou Station."
Then Qian Shuiting talked about the plan of the Zhai Party, and his words seemed to introduce Liu Xiang as a core member of the Zhai Party. Liu Xiang was also moved when he heard this. Although there is currently only one party that has publicly formed a party, and the party's goals are too abstract, there are many "friendly people outside the party", especially among ordinary elders, who have high support. Being in the core earns you more political capital.
However, the action goals of the Zhai Party lacked a long-term plan. What kind of political system should be established and how to achieve efficient decision-making while limiting the power of the Ninth Elder. These issues have not been given a clear idea by the Zhai Party for so many years.
On the other hand, those home elders who were supported and encouraged by the home party to take up leadership positions will continue to recognize the restrictive and strong leadership of the home party after experiencing the taste of "taking orders as soon as they have the power." Program? Needless to say to others, he himself understands this deeply. There is also his deputy. When he first arrived in Qiongshan, "animal" was synonymous with the executive committee. Recently, he changed his name to "a certain executive committee member." He still used the word "animal", but it was assigned to some of the more famous opponents in the Senate.
Don't end up like the Japanese Communist Party in the original time and space, fully supporting the "proletariat" to improve their lives, and then after these people break away from the "proletariat", they sit on the toilet of the bourgeoisie and turn around to oppose Japan that once helped them *……
He thought about it and decided to explore it first.
The guests and hosts had a great conversation, and the topic gradually deepened. Liu Xiang very clearly asked Qian Shuiting to give the program and route of Feiyun Society. He even explicitly asked Qian Shuiting to get a copy of the "Feiyun Society Declaration", but Qian Shuiting still only repeatedly emphasized "strengthening the elders". "We should establish a system of decentralization, checks and balances, fluidity and transparency within the group." However, Qian Shuiting could not provide specific details on how to decentralize power and how to check and balance: "Anyway, we will follow the method of separation of three powers." ". After hearing this, Liu Xiang could only be silent in his heart - this was still a bit different from his own thoughts.
"Old Qian, in the long run, the person who is brought to power by the five hundred powerful families will definitely be the most suitable person to rule the country with a litigator. To govern the country with a litigator, as long as he can argue, incite, be humane, and have the background, he will be able to rule the country. The 'broad masses of the people' have to deal with the past, and various think tanks will naturally help to come up with specific administrative measures. To govern the country by academics and engineers as in the original time and space, the requirements for our future generations are too high and cannot be universally applied." Liu Xiang sipped. He took a sip of wine and spoke solemnly: "But -" (To be continued)
