Under Zhang Yuanqing's questioning, Pei Lu really had no choice but to confess the situation.
Haiyun Group has indeed encountered problems. Starting from the first half of the year, the construction of new projects has been blocked, and many welfare policies provided by the government cannot be fulfilled. Even production and operation encountered various strange problems.
Of course, these things are all normal when taken individually. If you put it on a company, that would be a problem. In other words, Pei Lu was targeted.
Because of this, Pei Lu made a plan for a full retreat. Throw some industries that cannot be lost in Jiangbei, and use the momentum of transformation and upgrading to transfer core assets to other places.
This plan is actually already being implemented. Just like the food safety research station mentioned by Zhang Yuanqing, it has been built in other places. The next step is to expand the core factory in other places. If the expansion of the core factory is completed, even if Jiangbei City finds something is wrong, it will not be able to stop it.
Zhou Qiangbin felt angry when he heard the other party's honest words. According to Pei Lu's plan, his full retreat should be at the end of this year or the beginning of next year while he was taking office.
He couldn't help but strengthen his tone: "Mr. Pei, you are also a native of Jiangbei City. It is the soil and water of Jiangbei that have sustained you. But are you completely ignoring the consequences of doing this?"
The words had been spoken. Although Pei Lu had an apology on his face, his tone remained calm: "Mayor Zhou, I am just a businessman, and a conscientious businessman. I do want to benefit my hometown, but I have to survive first."
After hearing this, Zhou Qiangbin couldn't blame the other party. Besides, the problem lies with the government, and it is untenable to blame it yourself.
Zhang Yuanqing added: "Mr. Pei, you have witnessed the development speed of Jiangbei City in recent years, and the market here is also your foundation. If you change the place, wouldn't you have to start all over again? Why bother?"
These words struck Pei Lu's heart, and he sighed.
Seeing that Pei Lu had relaxed, Zhou Qiangbin immediately took on a resolute attitude: "Xiao Zhang, call the office and ask them to notify the leaders of the relevant departments and come to Haiyun Group immediately. I want to hold a corporate development dispatch meeting."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately went out to make a call.
After the call was made, within an hour, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Science and Technology Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Civil Affairs Bureau, Justice Bureau, Finance Bureau, Land Resources and Real Estate Administration Bureau, Construction Committee, Audit Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, Price Bureau, and Urban Planning Bureau, City Management Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau, etc., the first or second leaders arrived one after another.
After Zhou Qiangbin, the executive deputy mayor, gave the order, basically all the relevant government officials came. Only those who have meetings or other matters outside are assigned second-in-commands.
From this point of view, regardless of Jiangbei City, Zhou Qiangbin, the executive deputy mayor, ranks sixth among the Standing Committee. But when it comes to the real say in the government, Zhou Qiangbin is the second-in-command of the municipal government.
Because the executive deputy mayor was speaking to them, even though Zhou Qiangbin had only been here for two months and had not yet established his authority, the pressure brought by this position was something that others did not dare to underestimate.
The symposium was moved to a large conference room, and Zhou Qiangbin was in charge. The heads of departments and bureaus were not as arrogant as usual.
In front of everyone, Zhou Qiangbin asked Haiyun Group one by one about the problems encountered. For example, if the construction of a new project could not be advanced, he would ask department after department.
No matter how big or small the matter was, Zhou Qiangbin solved it one by one through pressure. In front of him, at first some leaders wanted to use Tai Chi to shirk the blame.
However, Zhou Qiangbin's thinking is extremely clear, and he stands very high, and he always considers the overall situation. Whoever is responsible is responsible.
What impressed Zhang Yuanqing deeply was that the two people in charge of the work were pinched by Zhou Qiangbin.
Zhou Qiangbin said, I will personally review your materials during the assessment at the end of the year. The two people in charge of the work understand that Mayor Zhou has a great say in whether they become regular workers or not. Therefore, he immediately expressed his intention to give the green light to Haiyun Group to promote special projects and other issues.
Zhang Yuanqing sighed while recording, Zhou Qiangbin's style was very tough and he achieved complete control of the field. This is also a manifestation of leadership charisma.
Most of the problems that had blocked Pei Lu for several months were solved in one morning, and the remaining problems were also solved.
Now, even Pei Lu was moved by Zhou Qiangbin's attitude and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
Although this meeting was efficient, it also lasted until 12 noon.
Pei Lu was discerning and immediately invited everyone to eat in a private room in the cafeteria. Others naturally looked at Zhou Qiangbin. Zhou Qiangbin agreed without hesitation. This face must be given.
Pei Lu was so excited about the meal that he personally served it.
As for Zhang Yuanqing, he was naturally unable to participate. Even if Zhou Qiangbin was willing to take a high look at him, he could not be placed on an equal footing with the principals in charge of these departments.
The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister also have to look at the situation and cannot go beyond the rules.
Zhang Yuanqing thought this was normal. He took the initiative to sit at the same table with Qiao Qiang and other drivers without any airs. Many drivers also know that this is Mayor Zhou's secretary, so they get along very well with him.
Since he couldn't drink during working days, Zhang Yuanqing had a bowl of rice and that was it. I lit a cigarette and was in ecstasy when I suddenly saw Pei Lu standing at the door waving to me.
Zhang Yuanqing wondered, shouldn't Pei Lu accompany the leader at this time? He quickly got up and went out.
Pei Lu took him to another unoccupied box and then took Zhang Yuanqing's hand: "Brother Yuanqing, thank you."
Zhang Yuanqing said with a smile: "Mr. Pei, don't be polite. It is Mayor Zhou who solves the problem. I am just responsible for prying your mouth open."
"Well, I'm ashamed to say that I am a villain and judge a gentleman. I thought Mayor Zhou was just like other officials, but I didn't expect that he is a sincere person who does things, and he can compete with Lao Jin. And his style of doing things, Tougher than Lao Jin. A leader like him makes people feel safe."
It can be seen that Pei Lu is very grateful to Zhou Qiangbin.
Zhang Yuanqing felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and his smile was a little stiff. Secretary Jin was his old leader, so he naturally felt unhappy when he heard others say this.
Seeing this, Pei Lu shook his head: "Yuan Qing, you may think that I disrespect Lao Jin by speaking like this. But I am telling the truth. Lao Jin should not have come to this place in Jiangbei. Not only is all his hard work in vain I paid it, and even lost my life. I’m afraid I won’t be able to rest in peace until I die.”
Zhang Yuanqing frowned: "Mr. Pei, what do you mean by this? Secretary Jin died of a serious illness. Do you think there is something hidden?"
"Seriously ill?" Pei Lu sneered, his eyes focused on Zhang Yuanqing, "Brother Yuanqing, the cruelty of officialdom is far beyond your imagination. There are some things for which I have no concrete evidence. But how could a good person suddenly become so cruel? Seriously ill?
I once took Lao Jin's physical examination indicators over the years and sent them abroad for verification. Although it cannot be completely proven, there is something fishy about Lao Jin's illness. "
These words made Zhang Yuanqing feel cold all over.
He couldn't believe it. In his opinion, although the officialdom was cruel, it was more about human relationships. But what Pei Lu said was far beyond his understanding.
However, Pei Lu's next words made Zhang Yuanqing even more in danger: "You should also pay attention to yourself. Before Lao Jin left, he told me two things. The first thing was to send his wife back to the provincial capital. This I have finished the first thing. And the second thing is that Lao Jin hopes that when you are desperate, let me give you a way out!"
