Chapter 1279: The New Party Secretary's Show of Force!

The next day, after attending the city-wide economic operation analysis meeting in the city.

Tang Ye received a call from Cai Zhengqing.

Cai Zhengqing's tone was somewhat wistful, "Wang Chunyu has gone to Runzhou to be the District Mayor."

Tang Ye quickly sorted out the reason.

"He Haiyang transferred from the Organization Department to Runzhou, and Wang Chunyu seized the opportunity."

Cai Zhengqing sneered, "Wang Chunyu is a person who is calculating and scheming; he is a despicable and insidious villain. I think He Haiyang is nursing a viper in his bosom."

Tang Ye laughed, "He Haiyang is a smart man. After he goes down there, he needs sharp teeth to get what he wants!"

Cai Zhengqing said dismissively, "A sword has two edges; if it is too sharp, it will end up hurting oneself."

Tang Ye changed the subject, "How have you been lately? I heard you started a water conservancy project."

Cai Zhengqing's tone shifted, "I can't compare to you. Yechuan has settled many projects, from a national-level Incubation Base to a 200-million-yuan foreign-funded production base. Now, everyone in the circle is placing bets on how many years it will take for you to be promoted to Party Secretary!"

Tang Ye shook his head and gave a wry smile, "Don't flatter me. I just had a new County Party Secretary arrive here, and since taking office, he has acted extremely aggressively."

Cai Zhengqing sighed, "New rulers bring new policies; the adjustment period will be very difficult. However, I believe in your ability; this little trouble won't stump you!"

Tang Ye said, "I'll take your kind words."

Cai Zhengqing laughed, "There is one more thing I want to discuss with you. I heard you have a food brand in Yechuan County called Xingshun that sells very well online?"

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Yes. Xingshun was originally on the verge of bankruptcy. After I came to Yechuan, I reformed it, introduced capital, and updated the production lines and products, mainly selling through internet platforms."

Cai Zhengqing sighed, "The Camellia Oil Project is also doing well through E-commerce. The internet has indeed brought a rare opportunity for a reshuffle. I want to start an E-commerce startup base in the county."

Tang Ye laughed, "I will call Lin Ziyang later and have him contact you. You provide the location, and he provides the personnel and technology; this project has potential."

Cai Zhengqing slapped his thigh, "You are straightforward!"

After hanging up the call with Cai Zhengqing,

Tang Ye dialed Lin Ziyang's number.

"Manager Lin, hello!"

Lin Ziyang laughed, "County Magistrate Tang, hello. Do you have any instructions for me?"

Tang Ye said, "I just received a call from Cai Zhengqing. He plans to build an E-commerce startup base, and I recommended you to him."

Lin Ziyang said gratefully, "Thank you, County Magistrate Tang. I will definitely do this project well. By the way, your vision is excellent. You suggested that Hu Yang get into the skincare field, and now he has succeeded. The skincare products under the group occupy high positions on several major internet platforms."

Hu Yang's figure appeared in Tang Ye's mind, "This kid has made something of himself!"

Lin Ziyang said, "Hu Yang respects you very much and always says you are his benefactor."

Tang Ye occasionally kept in touch with Hu Yang via text message.

He had indeed helped Hu Yang.

But, he did not place much importance on his own position in that.

Doing some quick mental math, Lin Ru should be getting out of prison soon.

He chatted with Lin Ziyang about the development trends of E-commerce.

Tang Ye had an intuition that the next five to ten years would be the golden age for internet development.

However, at the same time, prosperity leads to decline; the trend of E-commerce, driven by capital, would reach its peak,

And the impact of E-commerce on the real economy would be enormous...

In the afternoon, he returned to the County Party Committee Compound.

Just as Tang Ye sat down, he received a call from the new County Party Secretary, Ding Zhen.

"County Magistrate Tang, please come to my office."

"Alright, I'll be right over."

He walked into the Party Committee Office.

Ding Zhen gestured for Tang Ye to sit down.

If Han Zhengyi were here, he would have poured tea for him personally,

But Ding Zhen did not have this habit.

"County Magistrate Tang, take a look at this material."

Tang Ye took the material and scanned it roughly.

The content was related to the Old City Renovation.

The Old City Renovation had an important task: to relocate several heavily polluting enterprises within the county.

However, many historical problems were left behind during the demolition and relocation process.

Tang Ye said, "The Old City Renovation has been going on for a long time, and it was always personally pushed forward by Secretary Han before."

Ding Zhen's tone was serious, "County Magistrate Tang, you arrived in Yechuan a year earlier than I did, and I know you have done well this past year.

However, we cannot just focus on new projects and ignore the old ones.

Just because Han Zhengyi has left Yechuan, does that mean we can ignore the Old City Renovation project?

The Old City Renovation has had a large amount of financial capital invested in it,

You are the County Magistrate elected by the people of Yechuan; you must not pass the buck or shirk your responsibilities!"

Tang Ye was left between laughter and tears by Ding Zhen's words.

"Secretary Ding, I have no intention of shirking my responsibilities.

I am only saying that this project was previously handled personally by Comrade Han Zhengyi, and I have not had the opportunity to understand the situation in depth.

If you feel that I need to intervene, I will certainly not shirk the duty.

However, before taking over, shouldn't we clarify the situation?"

Ding Zhen secretly thought that Tang Ye was more 【capable/shrewd】 than he had imagined, and he smiled to appease him,

"What I said just now was indeed somewhat one-sided.

Since you are willing to take over the Old City Renovation Project, then I can rest easy.

The follow-up will be left to you to take charge of.

If there is anything you need me to coordinate, you can bring it up with me at any time."

Tang Ye remained calm and composed, "I will study the issues of the Old City Renovation carefully. Please rest assured, Secretary Ding."

After speaking, Ding Zhen took out an application report, "This is a report submitted by the County Agricultural Bureau requesting land use, and I think it needs to be handled with caution."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment; the County Agricultural Bureau planned to establish an Agricultural Scientific Research Base with the Agricultural College of Xiyang University.

This project was originally agreed upon by Han Zhengyi, but before the matter could be implemented, Han Zhengyi had already left.

The director of the County Agricultural Bureau had sought out Tang Ye for this reason.

Tang Ye felt that in the long run, establishing an Agricultural Scientific Research Base was not a bad thing, so he signed the approval.

He did not expect that Ding Zhen would actually make an issue out of this.

This made Tang Ye feel quite displeased in his heart.

After all, the Agricultural Bureau only needed one hundred mu of land, and it was all rural wasteland.

In the past, when Han Zhengyi was in office, he only needed to report such matters to him, and they could be pushed forward for execution.

"Secretary Ding, the establishment of the Agricultural Scientific Research Base was agreed upon by Comrade Han Zhengyi at the time. If the application is approved, the money will come from the province, the construction cost is about twenty million, and the preparations for the requisition of agricultural land have already begun below," Tang Ye explained patiently.

Ding Zhen said with difficulty, "It is not that I am intentionally making things difficult for you. Secretary Gong has instructed me that the use of land in Yechuan must be handled with caution.

He required that after I arrived in Yechuan, I must take it seriously.

Any allocation or requisition of land over thirty mu must be reported to the Standing Committee for approval, and then reported to the city for ratification."

Tang Ye thought to himself that if these matters had to go to the Standing Committee for collective decision-making, he would be tied hand and foot.

This move by Ding Zhen was very clever!

It conforms to the principle of democratic centralism, conforms to the trend of scientific decision-making, and quietly concentrates power in the Executive.

In the future, as he carries out his work in Yechuan, he will inevitably be restricted everywhere!

Facing the new secretary's show of force,

he must have a response...

After Tang Ye left, a cold look appeared on the corner of Ding Zhen's mouth; he had done his research before coming to Yechuan, and Han Zhengyi had almost always followed Tang Ye's lead.

As for the Jinhua Century City project, it was also under Tang Ye's instigation and interference that Han Zhengyi did not obey the arrangements of the Municipal Party Committee.

Therefore, Han Zhengyi incurred the dissatisfaction of Gong Weimin, and Tang Ye bore no small amount of responsibility for that.

If he wanted to gain the recognition of Gong Weimin, he had to keep his distance from Tang Ye.

This was a lesson from the past...
