Chapter 401: Different Minds

After the gathering, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Wu Xiaohua invited Lu Fan for a walk.

The night in Yingjiang was brightly lit. Opposite was the night market, noisy with people, full of human fireworks.

Walking on the road, Wu Xiaohua said, "Daiqiang has many ideas. This time he came down holding his breath, wanting to show his skills!"

Lu Fan smiled and said, "The sea is wide for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly! It's easy to understand. There is a fire burning in his heart, wanting to look up at the stars and the sea!"

Wu Xiaohua sighed, "Secretary Hongtao has left, many people are not willing to be lonely, and no one can suppress the 'field.' Our Qinchuan is going to change greatly!"

"Brother Wu, let's just do our own things!"

"Being in the game, you can't stay out of it. Lu Fan, what are your plans?"

"Brother Wu, I am the Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General, and the position determines everything."

Wu Xiaohua said, "Your position has too heavy an imprint, and the nature of the work is too single. I suggest jumping out as soon as possible."

"It's not very likely for the time being. It's also good to learn from Secretary Ruifang."

Wu Xiaohua suddenly said, "Deputy Secretary Zhitao has been very active recently and is close to several Vice Mayors. It is estimated that he has some ideas."

Lu Fan replied, "It has little to do with us. Just sit and watch the wind and clouds rise! Brother Wu, I heard that the Mayor's wife has come to Yingjiang?"

"It seems there is such a thing. The Sunshine City project in the New City District occupies 800 acres, and the surrounding area is equipped with four schools, as well as hospitals and shopping malls. The location is in the 'cabbage heart.' Clear wine makes people's faces red, and wealth moves people's hearts! Lu Fan, what does Secretary Ruifang think of this project?"

Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "The 'three important and one large' must be voted on by the Standing Committee. The Municipal Government has sent the agenda to me, but it was suppressed by the Secretary. Brother Wu, do you have any ideas?"

Wu Xiaohua said frankly, "The 'cake' is so big, who doesn't have three friends and four friends?"

Lu Fan replied, "Just wait and see. Secretary Ruifang considers it relatively comprehensively. When there is a clue, she will seek everyone's opinions."

At the same time, Si Daiqiang was also talking about the political situation in Yingjiang with Wu Xiaojun in the room.

Si Daiqiang said, "Let's discuss the affairs of the district. I believe we will definitely be united, work together, and move forward hand in hand to let the work of Zhenbei District reach a new level!"

"Please rest assured, Secretary Si, the District Government will maintain the unity of the team, think in one place, exert strength in one place, and cooperate with and support the work of the District Party Committee."

One is a classmate, one is a secretary, with Wang Hongtao as a natural bridge and link, it is inevitable that the two will reach a consensus.

After chatting for a while, Si Daiqiang asked, "Xiaojun, I am not very familiar with the situation in Yingjiang. After all, the work in Zhenbei District needs strong support from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. You have to popularize the situation in Yingjiang for me so that I can clarify my goals, shoot with a target, and get twice the result with half the effort in my work!"

Wu Xiaojun thought for a while and said, "The Municipal Party Committee compound is very subtle. First of all, it is the Municipal Government. The Mayor and the Standing Committee members often 'butt heads,' and Standing Vice Mayor Zhang Shibin is close to the Executive, resulting in the Municipal Government's government orders not being smooth. To be honest, it has affected the normal development of work. But the Mayor seems to have a good impression of Secretary-General Lu, and several Vice Mayors are also very close to Lu Fan. The entire Municipal Government Office is used by Lu Fan."

Si Daiqiang laughed, "Very interesting, I didn't expect Lu Fan to be able to handle both sides!"

Wu Xiaojun said, "Secretary, don't underestimate this Secretary-General. First of all, Secretary Li trusts him, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Wu Xiaohua is a close friend of his, Deputy Secretary Guo Zhitao is close to him, plus Organization Minister Zhang Ziqiang, United Front Minister Yang Shaokai, and Political and Legal Committee Secretary Chen Zijun promoted by Secretary Li Mingzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that Secretary-General Lu's energy in the Yingjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government is unmatched!"

Si Daiqiang asked, "What is Lu Fan's prestige?"

Wu Xiaojun replied, "Very good. National Outstanding County Party Committee Secretary, there is no problem with political achievements. He doesn't hit people with words, is humble and low-key, but acts swiftly in implementing work. Looking around, almost all the first and second leaders of all counties and districts in the city are his people. I have never seen such a Secretary-General!"

Si Daiqiang suddenly had some worries in his heart. Now they are friends, and in the future, they will definitely be competitors. If the position of Yingjiang Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary or Standing Vice Mayor is vacant, he will definitely compete for it. At that time, Lu Fan will definitely be the biggest stumbling block! But for now, he must unite him. Having such a friend in the Municipal Party Committee will definitely be of great help to his work.

The next morning, Lu Fan went to the small kitchen to eat. Standing Vice Mayor Zhang Rongqiu leaned over and said in a low voice, "Is there any clue about the Sunshine City project? What is the Secretary's opinion?"

Lu Fan replied, "Your Municipal Government can't reach a consensus, so it can't be on the Standing Committee for the time being."

"800 acres of project, everyone wants to give it to one company, not afraid of being stuffed!"

Lu Fan said, "Sunshine City is a key project of the city, and it will definitely be implemented this year. It must be decided within a month at the latest."

"Then we need Secretary Ruifang to preside over the overall situation. Shibin and my opinions are consistent. Don't put eggs in the same basket. The city also has powerful developers!"

Lu Fan nodded and said nothing, because the Mayor came.

After Zhao Tao came in, he sat directly next to Lu Fan and said with a smile, "There is a smell of wine, did you have fun last night?"

Lu Fan replied with a smile, "Several friends gathered together and had a few drinks. Please rest assured, Mayor, it will definitely not affect today's work!"

Zhao Tao said, "Off-duty time, who will manage so broadly? Lu Fan, if you have nothing to do, come to my office, there is some work I want to talk to you about."

"Fine, if the Secretary is not busy, I will go to the Municipal Government to report work."

After breakfast, Lu Fan went directly to Secretary Li Ruifang's office for the "early request" that never changes.

After explaining several tasks, Li Ruifang asked, "Lu Fan, what do you think of the Sunshine City project?"

Lu Fan thought for a while and replied, "This project has high attention and heat. Not only the cadres and masses of the whole city are concerned, but some leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are even more concerned. These two days, quite a few have inquired about it from me."

Li Ruifang said, "The project was proposed by the Municipal Government, but it is impossible for whoever proposes it to be responsible for it. The 'three important and one large' must be voted on by the Standing Committee. 800 acres of land is not something an enterprise can 'digest'! Whether it is strength or reputation, the First Provincial Construction is very good. Projects involving people's livelihood cannot have the slightest carelessness. They must be handed over to experienced and powerful companies for development and construction. You seek the opinions of comrades, such as organization, discipline inspection, political and legal, and Secretary Zhitao, and then connect with the Municipal Government to have a count in your heart!"

Lu Fan basically understood the leader's instructions. This project has nothing to do with propaganda, united front, and Si Daiqiang.

As the number one leader, Li Ruifang could not "bargain" with the people under her, but these things always have to be done by someone. The task fell on the Secretary-General, which also reflected Li Ruifang's trust in Lu Fan and recognition of his ability.

Returning to his office, Lu Fan thought hard and directly made a table, intending to talk to the leaders one by one. In the final analysis, it is the distribution of interests, but first, the Secretary's interests must be guaranteed.

Lu Fan actually didn't want to engage in these messy things, but as Wu Xiaohua said: being in the game, you can't avoid it!

Every task is actually the distribution of interests. Yingjiang has hundreds of key projects and hundreds of billions of investments every year, all of which need to be distributed, unless you are not in that position and are not qualified to participate. Even if you don't take it yourself, you have to give it to others. Projects don't just fall into the hands of enterprises for no reason!

Officialdom is like a battlefield, intrigue, bright guns and dark arrows, interests first! Those who adapt will be prosperous and majestic; those who don't adapt will be physically and mentally exhausted and unable to move an inch. Ancient and modern, domestic and foreign, are all the same!

If you want to distribute interests well, you must first clarify the project. Lu Fan spent three days dismantling Sunshine City and supporting projects into ten projects and made a preliminary distribution. Next is to communicate with the leaders.

The project is implemented by the Municipal Government. Lu Fan went to the Mayor's office first. After a few polite words, he said, "Mayor, key projects concern the overall situation of Yingjiang's economic development, and the Sunshine City project is the top priority, which is highly concerned by cadres and masses. The Secretary intends to discuss it at the next Standing Committee meeting. I was 'sent' to connect with you on the specific implementation of the project."

Zhao Tao smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, I prefer to talk to you! In this compound, I am most compatible with you! The Sunshine City project is to build a high-quality community of new Chinese-style garden houses, surrounded by high-quality educational resources, plus perfect commercial supporting facilities, which can greatly improve and improve the housing quality of Yingjiang citizens. The project has also been valued by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, promising strong support in educational and medical supporting facilities. Lu Fan, there is no time to lose, time waits for no one!"

Lu Fan said, "That's why Secretary Li attaches great importance to it, and sent me here. Sunshine City is the largest real estate project in Yingjiang in recent years. If we want to implement it smoothly, we must first determine the construction unit before we can carry out project approval and bidding. Doing full preparation in advance is conducive to the smooth development of the project. Mayor, regarding the five core residential areas, I took the liberty to divide them. The first three are supervised and implemented by the Municipal Party Committee, and the last two are supervised and implemented by the Municipal Government. What do you think?"

Looking at the planning map handed over by Lu Fan, Zhao Tao fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said, "Add the surrounding schools and hospitals."

Lu Fan looked embarrassed and said, "A single tree cannot make a forest, and a hundred rivers gather into the sea. The project needs everyone's cooperation and support to be implemented smoothly. You plan to hand over these to several Vice Mayors to be responsible for. Why don't you communicate with them, Mayor?"

"Lu Fan, this matter is of great importance. Let me consider it and give you an answer tomorrow."

"Fine, Mayor, if you have anything, just instruct me

Zhao Tao smiled and said, "The drink we promised each other hasn't been settled yet. Another day, I'll call a friend, and we'll all sit down together!"

"As long as the Secretary can spare the time, I will certainly accompany the Mayor for a good drink!"
