Chapter 3623
As soon as Cao Yuanhao took office, he took a few people to the provincial capital to run the expressway and high-speed railway projects. Also going with him was Lin Shaoguang, the Deputy Director of the Linshan Transportation Bureau, as well as some staff from the Transportation Bureau, including several engineers.
Lin Shaoguang was a cadre Su Xinghui thought highly of. He was a cadre with an engineering background in the Transportation Bureau, not too old, also in his early forties. He hadn't been highly valued before, but after Su Xinghui arrived in Linshan, he took the initiative to report his work to Su Xinghui.
Su Xinghui discovered that Lin Shaoguang had very rich experience in highway construction and could be considered a technical cadre. Moreover, he was in the prime of his life, so he paid more attention to Lin Shaoguang and made him a key object of cultivation.
This time, he sent Cao Yuanhao to the provincial capital to run the projects and let Lin Shaoguang go with him because Lin Shaoguang was an insider. With Lin Shaoguang there, Cao Yuanhao probably wouldn't make too big of a fool of himself.
Before leaving, Su Xinghui also urged Cao Yuanhao to ask Lin Shaoguang more if there were any technical problems, as Lin Shaoguang was an expert in road construction.
Cao Yuanhao agreed readily, saying he would definitely listen to Lin Shaoguang and telling Su Xinghui not to worry, and then he went to the provincial capital. Of course, he also brought several tens of thousands of yuan in cash, which was specially approved by Su Xinghui.
Although Su Xinghui was incorruptible, he also knew that an emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers. Cao Yuanhao and the others, several people, had to spend money staying there to run the projects, and their accommodation expenses were not a small amount.
Although Wu Jianbai and Fang Zhonglin had both agreed to these two projects, this couldn't be said publicly, so the necessary procedures still had to be run. Su Xinghui also knew the principle that "the King of Hell is easy to see, but the little devils are hard to deal with." The people in those functional departments might not be willing to help you get the procedures done smoothly.
So, sometimes it was necessary to treat them to meals or something. These were all expenses. Even when Su Xinghui went to the provincial capital and Jingcheng to run projects before, such necessary entertainment expenses had to be spent. So, he specially approved several tens of thousands of yuan for Cao Yuanhao to take with him. If spending these tens of thousands of yuan could get the projects run, it would be worth it.
Su Xinghui couldn't help but sigh. People like them, no matter how incorruptible, sometimes still had to spend money to get things done, unable to avoid the vulgarity because the entire officialdom had formed such a trend, which wasn't something he alone could change.
He could only try to reverse this trend in the places where he governed, hoping that as his status got higher and higher, the places he could influence would also get bigger and bigger.
After Cao Yuanhao left, Su Xinghui put his main energy into the establishment of the Linshan Coal Chemical Group.
Linshan was a city with very rich coal resources. Previously, the vast majority of Linshan's coal was transported directly to other places. This model put great pressure on transportation capacity, and the added value was also relatively low.
