Chapter 1058 Stirring a hornet's nest
On the last day of March, Li Xuewu got up early and took a walk around the big lake near his home.
It is called a big lake, but in fact it is just a big water bubble, surrounded by fences and observation platforms.
This kind of park-like public facility does not restrict outsiders from visiting and enjoying the scenery even though it is located within a villa area.
There are many peach and apricot trees planted from the lake to the roadside. March is the flowering season, and the flowers are in clusters and look very beautiful.
There was an old man who got up earlier, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and sitting by the lake fishing with a bamboo fishing rod.
Even the fish basket at the feet and the small stool under the butt are made of bamboo, which is very artistic.
"Fishing in Green Bay in spring, apricot blossoms in full bloom"
Li Xuewu recited a Tang Dynasty poem in a very pretentious manner and squatted beside the old man to take a look.
The fish basket was empty, without even a single fish or shrimp, it was even worse than a fish basket.
"Your cooking skills are not good. Maybe you came too early and the fish haven't woken up yet."
"Are you related to the fish in this pond?"
The old man glanced at him and said, "How else do you know it hasn't woken up yet?"
After saying that, he pulled back the fishing rod and grabbed the hook. There was an empty hook on it. Either the fish was too small or too old.
The small ones can’t take the hook, and the old ones won’t bite the hook.
Li Xuewu didn't care about the old man's counterattack. He just wanted to play with the shell when he got up early.
"I'm not related to this fish. I know it didn't get up because there are often a few turtles in this pond catching fish to eat, so they come out when there are fish."
"Tsk——!"
The old man clicked his tongue, looked back at the sharp-tongued young man, and asked, "Don't you have classes? Why don't you go out to get some bread so early in the morning?"
"It's still early. We won't be at work until later."
Li Xuewu walked around the lake and this side was closer to the entrance. He didn't want to go home early as his mother and Gu Ning's mother were still asleep.
The old man put on the bait and cast the hook, then asked casually, "Whose secretary is this? Why are you so free?"
"Not a secretary, not a driver, not a driver"
Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "Why are you so idle? I'll get a fishing rod later. I'll be envious of you fishing and learn from you."
"Okay - you're good at this!"
The old man didn't really argue with him. Young people always want to be competitive, so he didn't really take it to heart if they took advantage of him verbally.
"What car do you drive? Is the small car class comfortable?"
"A bicycle with two wheels is not very comfortable. If you pedal fast, your butt will shake."
Li Xuewu looked at the fishing float on the water and talked nonsense: "Our leader said that after he makes progress after the new year, we will add another wheel at the back to make it more stable."
The old man's mouth corners were almost turned up to his ears, and he knew in his heart that this bad boy was talking nonsense to him.
I've never heard of any leader who rides a bicycle to get off work, let alone any leader who rides a bicycle to get off work and hires a driver!
If you have a driver, do you need a secretary?
Where does the secretary sit?
Sit on the beam!
Just thinking about this scene is really weird.
It is said that all the young people in Beijing are bad. If you cannot figure out their pulse, they will hit you in the hip while you are talking about the front door building.
"Then your leader has potential. If he takes one step further, he can add a wheel to his car. If he takes ten steps further, he can build a train to commute to get off work!"
"Well, you still have potential!"
Li Xuewu squatted aside and said, "Our leaders can only think of changing to a tricycle, but you dare to say you can take the train to work. You are really arrogant!"
The old man didn't want to talk anymore. He said that if this bad boy said one word, he would have ten words waiting for him.
I was so upset that the fishing line in my hand was shaking, and the float on the water began to shake slightly.
"Is there any fish?"
Li Xuewu watched the fish float up and down, and reminded softly: "You have to grasp the opportunity. Fishing requires quick eyes and hands. If you are slow, then..."
"Here, I'll give you the rod, and you can fish!"
The old man was annoyed by his nagging, so he stuffed the fishing rod in Li Xuewu's hand, stood up and took a step back, watching him brag.
"How embarrassing—"
Li Xuewu smiled, looked at the fishing rod in his hand and said: "If you really catch something, should I pay for it or for me? If it's yours, I'll feel like I'm losing out. After all, your hands are too wet and you didn't catch any fish all morning."
"If it's mine, I'm younger than you. I'm sorry to pick up a fish from you for free."
"It's yours! Don't be timid, go ahead if you can do it!"
The old man was really stubborn. He waved his hand, signaling Li Xuewu to hurry up.
Li Xuewu was not polite either. He smiled and nodded, then pulled out the fishhook and put the bait on it again.
You know what, he really hasn't gone fishing many times. He was talking about fishing for real fish. Fishing for human fish doesn't count. Those are too many to count.
If I remember correctly, the most recent times I went fishing were once with Uncle Sanda in Kunming Lake, and once with Director Li and his team in Gangcheng.
That time at Kunming Lake, I was almost driven into autism by the uncle. It happened to be the novice protection period, and I caught a fish with a click.
On the other hand, Gangcheng did return to normal that time, and didn’t show off his skills much, but I don’t know if this time can still be considered the novice period.
Is there a two-year novice period?
"Young man, be careful not to be impatient. Fishing can improve your character, but it is too boring."
The old man stood aside with his arms folded and took the opportunity to say: "Your poem just proves that it's not the apricot blossoms that are in disarray, but your heart."
"Shh-"
Just when the old man was talking happily, Li Xuewu turned around and made a gesture to keep quiet.
That’s not all. He was specifically reminded: “Don’t interrupt others when they are fishing. It’s not polite.”
"I……"
The old man almost choked up and fell to the ground after hearing what he said.
You know it's impolite to talk to others while they are fishing, then who the hell talked to me when I was fishing just now?
Hey! This bad boy!
"Hey! Your bait is not good."
Li Xuewu saw the fish float move and his hand speed followed suit, but the fishing rod he pulled up had no strength at all, and it was obvious that the fish had escaped.
But he was really shameless and didn't say a word about his own poor fishing skills. He just said that the old man's bait was not good.
The old man was so angry that he didn't say a word. He stood behind with his arms folded, waiting to see his house collapse.
He also thought that if he spoke, the fish might blame him if it ran away again.
Now no one fucking says anything, I'll just watch you quietly to see if you can catch any fish!
"Neither the fishing rod nor the fishing line will work"
Li Xuewu's mouth was really bad. He wanted to leave a way out for himself, otherwise he would be left speechless and look at the old man if he couldn't catch any fish.
But I can’t ask the old man to jump up and call out numbers for me, then I’ll just have to…
"Hey! Hey! I caught a fish!"
What does it mean that God will not let the sparrow starve to death?
The old man who was standing behind with his arms folded and watching Li Xuewu busying himself with nothing was stunned.
The method of hanging the bait was wrong, the method of throwing the line was unfamiliar, and I had no skills in holding the pole, but I actually caught a fish!
Are the fish in this pond his relatives?
"Hey hey! Crucian carp!"
Li Xuewu stood up and pulled up the fish which was not big, a crucian carp as big as a palm, with green scales flashing and jumping around, looking very happy.
He was happy, but the old man was depressed.
A blind cat catches a dead mouse, absolutely!
I have been fishing here for more than half a year, and I have never seen a novice catch a fish like this.
"Go on, I'll learn from you—"
The old man was really stubborn. When he saw Li Xuewu looking at him proudly, he raised his chin and motioned him to continue.
When Li Xuewu heard this, he knew that the old man was upset.
He didn't even think about it, and he had a way out when he was unsure whether he could catch the fish.
Now that he has caught the fish, what else does he have to be afraid of? Just do it!
“Hey hey——!”
Li Xuewu hung the fishing hook again and threw it out, then sat down on the bamboo stool leisurely.
“I am too lazy to learn how to grow melons at Qingmen, and I just want to spend my time fishing. Fishing is still more interesting.”
"Humph - fishing or hanging out with books"
The old man standing behind snorted, "It's so sour. A young man complaining for no reason. It's so sour."
"Hmm - it's really sour!"
Li Xuewu pursed his lips and looked at the fish float and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have smelled it. How come it smells sour?"
"..."
The old man was speechless after being confronted by him, and he was the one who brought up the issue on his own initiative.
"Yohoo! A fish is caught!"
Li Xuewu was really lucky today. He was so proud of himself. The float was unstable, but a fish took his hook and he caught it not long after he threw it down.
"Hey! It's still a crucian carp, it's too small."
He pretended to be dissatisfied and while picking up the fish he pulled the old man and said, "You must be better than me. You must be the one who often catches big fish."
The old man didn't say anything. He stood in the shade of a tree. The morning sun made him feel a little dizzy, not sure if it was because of anger or the sun.
"My dear, can you still let me fish?"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Actually, I'm just joking with you. I'm a professional fisherman, and no one in this city is better than me."
He patted the fish basket and said, "Let's stop here for today. You have learned almost enough. If you want to learn more, you will have to pay tuition."
"Fishing! I'm not afraid of paying tuition!"
The old man is also a stubborn guy. He can't stand people bragging, especially the kid in front of him. He is so annoying. He is so ungrateful after getting the advantage!
"Please show me more of your skills so that I can learn more. If I can really learn the skills, I will take you as my teacher and treat you to a dinner to celebrate my apprenticeship."
"Hey, you are a shabby guy, aren't you?"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If I accept you as my apprentice, how can I lead you out?"
"Ah, I will take you out and introduce you as my apprentice. I will then have to take care of you until the end of your life. It's really a loss. You are not becoming my apprentice!"
"Boy! Don't be so arrogant, show your skills!"
The old man pointed at the fishing rod next to Li Xuewu with his palm-leaf fan and said: "Come again, if you really catch something, I will call you my master, and I will take care of you until the end of your life."
"You are cursing me—"
Li Xuewu is feeling nervous right now. He guessed the first shot by luck, and the second shot was also a luck. How could he guess the third shot by luck?
I was unsure but I could not let my hands down. I quickly put a bunch of bait on the fishhook and focused on fishing with probability.
He strung the baits together and lifted them high, trying to hang as many as possible, and threw them out amid the old man's sneer.
Li Xuewu thought that whether he caught fish or not, he would not suffer any loss.
The old man is really stubborn. It's okay to tease him for fun, but if you make him angry, it will be more trouble than it's worth.
You let an old man chase you and curse at you, even though he doesn't even know this guy on the street, it would be so embarrassing to tell others about it.
Ah, such a grown-up guy has nothing better to do than to play with the old man. Is he bored?
"Five minutes. If no fish is caught, it means the fish has gone home for breakfast. Don't blame me. I have to go back for breakfast too."
The old man listened to Li Xuewu chattering and saw that he was weak. The corners of his mouth curled up to his ears and he smiled smugly.
“You are here, boss.”
Just when the old man and Li Xuewu, Li Xuewu and the fishing rod were in a stalemate, Han Jiankun arrived.
He came down from the corridor, greeted Li Xuewu, glanced at the frowning old man, and walked towards Li Xuewu.
"The commission office called and said that Deputy Director Zhang, who is in charge of industry in the city, will go to the Workers' New Village construction site for research this morning and asked about your arrangements."
"What arrangements do I have? Just receive them as usual. What are you thinking about? Who is calling? Don't you have a brain?"
Li Xuewu frowned and stared at him, and said: "This committee has expanded its business, but its structure has fallen apart. It has even lost the ability to take charge and to respond to changes. It's almost like losing people."
After complaining, he calmed down and realized that it was useless to tell Han Jiankun about this.
"Is breakfast ready? I'm not going to eat. Go get ready early. How can you hold a grudge for something like this?"
He stood up and was so focused on his work that he forgot about the fishing rod in his hand. With this twist, the float sank.
"Hey, there's a fish!"
Li Xuewu stretched the fishing rod and felt it was very heavy, so it was a big fish.
"Please stop staring at me and let me take a walk. It's been a whole morning and finally a big one has come."
The old man stood aside and listened for a few words, and he roughly understood.
It turns out that the young man who was teasing me is actually a leader, and the person who came to report to me is either a secretary or a driver.
At what level can one be assigned a secretary or a driver?
He was also startled when he saw the fish taking the bait. When he saw Li Xuewu calling him, he was stunned for a moment and said, "This is your fish, as agreed..."
"Please hurry up, it's already lunch time, and I have something urgent to do here."
After saying this, he saw the old man coming over and handed the fishing rod in his hand to him steadily.
The old man was also very embarrassed. He had just agreed that the fish belonged to someone else, and now he had to call him master.
Now the young man hurriedly took his people away. He was fishing here with the fishing rod, but he felt that fishing was boring.
Just tell me, how can you catch fish like this!
"I'm so sorry to bother you."
Seeing Li Xuewu getting out of the car, Zhang Dayong was very polite. He smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted him, "I just wanted to get in on a whim. We are a bit pressed for time."
"Look at what you said. I made an appointment with you last time. You can come anytime. I am always welcome to receive you."
Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands, pointed to the construction site of the Workers' Village and said, "I'm on the phone with the office at home, and I haven't gone to the factory yet."
"I don't know which area you want to see this time, so I can be mentally prepared in advance."
"You're welcome, Deputy Director Li. We are here to do some research in Liangmahe today. We have a project that may be related to this area, so we came to take a look."
Zhang Dayong patted Li Xuewu's arm and motioned for them to walk together.
On the highway along the Liangma River, he pointed to the wide river channel and said: "In fact, the Liangma River is not a big river. Its arrangement and disposal were taken into consideration during the city expansion process."
“Are you going to dam the river and fill it up?”
Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said: "We haven't heard of this design plan in the city before."
"Besides, the impact of this river on industry and development is too different than that of not having this river. It cannot be made up for by the land lost by the river."
“Yes, you are right, we are also considering this issue.”
Zhang Dayong stood under a big tree beside the road, looking at the river and said: "This idea was mainly caused by the steel rolling mill asking for land."
He pointed to the top of the Liangma River, where the steel rolling mill and the workers' new village were across the river, and said: "Fill that piece, and most of the land your factory needs will be solved."
"If you say so, if we fill it up to that end, not only can we solve the problem of the land required by our factory, but we can also create an industrial zone out of thin air."
Li Xuewu spoke a little hurriedly. He pointed to the slightly simple but neatly arranged equipment and facilities on both sides of the river and said, "When the steel rolling mill designed the entire industrial zone, this area was also included."
"It is designed with the theme of combining ecology and humanities, and exists as a natural isolation zone between industrial and residential areas."
"Now you say you want to fill this area, the ecological theme we originally designed will be gone. If the industrial area and the living area are really connected together, the reaction will not be as simple as a one-to-one connection."
Li Xuewu raised his fist and bumped it together, saying: "Across the river, industry is industry, life is life, and the development of both sides complements each other."
"When they collide, life mixes with industry, and industry encroaches on life, it is bound to cause dangers in many aspects."
“Well, this is something we need to consider.”
Zhang Dayong stood on the shore with his hands behind his back and said, "It is still in the discussion stage. I was just passing by and called your Director Li."
"He told me that he would arrange a professional person to meet with me. I guessed it was you. It was you who introduced this place last time."
“I participated in the design of the workers’ new village”
Li Xuewu softened his tone and said, "What I'm worried about is not that the city will fill up this end, but that they will fill up this section."
"Haha - can you guess it?"
Zhang Dayong smiled and didn't go into details, but he gave Li Xuewu a clear signal.
Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said: "The land required for the steel rolling mill is not an urgent or difficult issue, so why bother with so much trouble."
"I'm afraid the land in the lower section is not enough. We have to start from the beginning, right?"
“Still in the discussion stage”
Zhang Dayong only answered with this one sentence, touched his face and said: "You don't have to worry. Even if this project is done, it will take a long time to get it established."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Xuewu smiled slightly, pointed to the Workers' New Village and said: "Let me take you to see the scene."
"Well, let's go and take a look."
Zhang Dayong finished what he wanted to say, and then followed Li Xuewu to the area in front of the construction site.
Li Xuewu introduced to him the layout and construction status of several functional areas.
He didn't stay long and got in the car and left after half an hour. Li Xuewu watched his car get onto the main road before returning to the car.
"Go back to the factory, quickly!"
Li Xuewu was a little anxious. He couldn't help being anxious. The city's attack had hit the steel mill's weak spot.
He didn't fill it up early or late, and he only said he would fill it up after the construction of the new village education area for the steel mill workers started.
Just tell me why this is so?
Li Xuewu no longer had the heart to curse. He could not say that the other person's methods were shameful. He could only say that he was under someone's control and was bound to be criticized.
Especially during this critical period, Li Huaide was active in the situation, muddying the waters and making many things unclear.
Dealing with the city is not just a matter for one person. If Liu Xiangqian comes and says it’s good, another person may not necessarily say it’s great.
Moreover, the comprehensive development of the steel rolling mill and the setting up of the factory area in blocks make it difficult for the municipality to operate.
Li Xuewu knew very well the purpose of Zhang Dayong's visit today. It was to establish a good relationship, but also as a reminder and a threat.
Tell the steel mills clearly that if you are not afraid of changing the plan, they will always have a good time.
Unless the steel mill is ruthless and stops investing in the school, it will be a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
At this stage, if the steel mill is to develop, every penny has its necessary value.
Now that this construction site has been abandoned, the next construction site will be short of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This hole will always exist. Where can we get the money from?
He said he was anxious that morning because Li Huaide's attitude was unclear, which made him a little anxious.
There is nothing to be seen from the commission's handling of the matter; those people are just doing things according to the leader's instructions.
The last time Cheng Kaiyuan got into trouble, Li Huaide looked for Zhang Dayong and Liu Xiangqian, but both of them hid.
This could not help but make Li Huaide resentful, so when Zhang Dayong came to conduct research this time, he refused to meet him and did not give him any face at all.
Listen to what Zhang Dayong just said, he is already expressing his dissatisfaction.
They are the supervisory authority and are currently still in charge of the steel mill. If they want to see you, they will see you. But if you really have something to do, it is normal for them to hide away.
If they really don't do anything for you when they meet you, it would be embarrassing for both parties.
It's only the city that's showing attitude, not your steel mill that's throwing a tantrum. What do you want us to apologize to you for?
Li Xuewu felt that Lao Li seemed a little anxious. It was because he was under too much pressure and had too many things to do recently.
The pressure made him irritable and he seemed anxious in dealing with some things.
If Zhang Dayong had communicated in advance today and came to investigate at a normal time, perhaps Li Huaide would really be able to meet him.
Even if we arrange for Jing Yunong to come and meet him, it would be considered a face-saving measure.
Letting Li Xuewu come here really left Zhang Dayong with this, and also made his attitude clearly known to the city.
Sitting in the command vehicle, Li Xuewu was also very annoyed. It was so damn difficult to get anything done.
What should we do if it is difficult? Should we just not do it?
He was annoyed at the factory's handling of the matter, and also annoyed at the city's overly reluctant and picky attitude towards the steel mill.
In fact, there is no need for that. It is just a matter of shooting the bird that sticks its head out to prevent the steel mill from setting a bad example for other industrial factories.
If things really get out of hand and the steel mill really moves its industrial headquarters to Tianjin or Gangcheng, the pressure the city will have to bear will be no less than that of the steel mill.
If the fire gets out of hand, no one will be able to escape punishment. Zhang Dayong knows this, and so does Liu Xiangqian.
Now it depends on who stands on the edge first and who compromises first.
Li Xuewu couldn't wait, he knew that Lao Li would not give in, he was also a stubborn donkey.
You see he is usually very easy to talk to in business, but actually he is very concerned about his reputation.
What's at stake now is his face. You ask him to bow his head when he is planning to form a group and is in high spirits?
If you want to fight, fight well and prepare your horses. Li Xuewu never fights a battle without preparation.
He has to support Lao Li in this round, even if it means losing face and suffering, he has to pass this level.
-
"What does the city mean?"
Jing Yunong had just come out of the office when he saw Li Xuewu going upstairs.
She stood at the door and waited for him for a while, then asked about the morning reception work.
After Li Xuewu came back, he did not come to Li Huaide to report first, but went back to his office and called several key contacts to verify.
I first asked Ren Xiaoyu about it, and he checked and said that this project was not communicated and promoted through the government office, but was led by Deputy Director Zhang.
When Li Xuewu heard this, he frowned at first, and then asked Ren Xiaoyu for some details.
After hanging up the phone, I did not call my godfather Zheng Shusen. This kind of thing is related to specific work, especially when someone took the initiative to promote it, it would be difficult to make things difficult for him.
As long as you ask, the godfather will definitely intervene. As long as you pay attention to it, the other party will be alert.
At that time, this matter will be even more difficult to handle. The result of mixing work and human relationships together is that it will become more and more confusing.
Especially now, Li Xuewu is not sure how cruel Old Li can be.
If Lao Li chooses to compromise in advance, then the relationship he used to ask for favors will be involved, which is very embarrassing.
Now we should focus on inquiring, find out the other party's intentions and truth, obtain first-hand information, and then communicate and report to Li Huaide.
Otherwise, if you just talk about what happened this morning without being able to provide any solution or background information about the matter, what's the point of your leader wanting you to do?
"It's a bit troublesome. I asked around."
Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said to Jing Yunong: "Let's go and talk to Director Li. I'm afraid the leader will have to take care of it personally."
"Is it related to the location of the new steel rolling mill? I heard the city complain about it once last time."
Jing Yunong also said with concern: "I have told Director Li about this matter. As long as the steel rolling mill has any major moves, it will touch this nerve, especially when it needs support from the city."
"It's not just this matter. I'm afraid Deputy Director Zhang's sudden visit today has other intentions."
Li Xuewu narrowed his left eye slightly, shook his head gently at Jing Yunong, and then knocked on Li Huaide's door.
"Come, Comrade Yunong, learn martial arts"
Li Huaide was reading a document and stood up from his seat when he heard the two people's voices.
"Leader, let me report to you about the morning reception work."
Li Xuewu took the initiative to greet them, and at Li Huaide's request, he asked Jing Yunong to sit first before he sat next to her on the sofa.
"Haiyang just told me about this, saying that you are back."
Just as Li Haiyang was serving them tea, Li Huaide folded his right leg, smoothed his hair, and said, "I was wondering why you didn't come to me directly. Something must have happened."
“The situation is quite troublesome”
Li Xuewu continued his words: "Deputy Director Zhang told me about a situation. The city is preparing to respond to the steel rolling mill's land application and fill in a section of the Liangma River starting from near the factory area."
"Haha - so this is what I came up with after all this time!"
Li Huaide snorted coldly and nodded without showing too much surprise or anger.
He leaned against the armrest, squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Fill it out. We will take as much as they fill out. We will continue to take after they finish filling it out."
He seemed to be sulking, or as if he had made up his mind. Despite his seemingly calm appearance, he already had an opinion on the matter.
"As long as the river doesn't break, we can move the factory to the riverside. I don't believe he can fill up the entire Liangma River!"
"Leader, this matter should not be as simple as filling the river to create land. I'm afraid..."
Li Xuewu expressed his concerns: "This time they are using our land-related work as an excuse to make a fuss. If the land exchange work on the other side encounters setbacks next time, we will be in a passive position."
"Well, I know. This matter is not related to Zhang Dayong. It has nothing to do with him directly."
Li Huaide frowned, lowered his head slightly and said, "Have you asked the Ministry of Industry?"
He looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What did they say? This project has been reported above, and the land application was posted together."
"I just called Liu Shaozong, he said he was asking, it's hard to say right now"
Li Xuewu knew that Li Huaide would ask him these questions, so he said preparedly: "I have asked the city privately, and the situation is unclear."
"They said that this matter was initiated by Deputy Director Zhang alone and did not follow the work process."
He glanced at Jing Yunong and continued to report: "Deputy Director Zhang mentioned it vaguely this morning, saying that this project is still under investigation and discussion, and the launch date is uncertain."
"He's telling lies, do you believe him?"
Li Huaide said with drooping eyelids: "The argumentation will take a long time, and the amount of investment is still up to them. Liangma River is there and it will not run away by itself. He is taking this as a tight hoop."
"Do you want me to coordinate with the engineering department to make a backup plan for this situation?"
Li Xuewu explained: "We have prepared contingency plans for river drying up, congestion, diversion, etc., but landfilling is the only thing we have not considered."
This situation is really complicated. The Liangma River is very wide and was used for transporting grain in the past. Even after so many years, it is still in use.
The steel rolling mill sometimes also uses river transportation here, which goes directly to the river to Tianjin.
When it comes to filling rivers and creating land, only the city can think of it. Ordinary people don't have the power to do so, after all, the investment is huge.
Li Huaide waved his hands and said, "It's useless. It can't be prevented or blocked. Just like you said, no matter how many plans you design, it's useless."
He gently hit the armrest of the sofa and said, "If it doesn't work, cancel the construction plan, don't use the project at the school, and continue to use it as a cargo yard."
"Leader, the loss is too great"
Li Xuewu frowned and said, "The initial investment there has already cost no less than 20. If..."
"Don't think that way. The lesson of 20 is not a big deal, at least not for us."
Li Huaide said firmly: "You organize it and write an application report first, saying that because the city has made adjustments to the land planning, the steel mill has to come up with a response plan."
"Stop all investment in Liangmahe Industrial Zone, stop all mergers and land swaps, and notify the city to cancel land applications and construction applications."
"At the same time, the application report submitted to the Ministry of Industry clearly pointed out that the ministry needs to coordinate to select a new industrial zone site in Hebei Province or other provinces in central China. We can sell the land here and move."
"Director Li, there's no need to rush this matter."
Jing Yunong tried to persuade them, "After all, the city has only given a suggestion for discussion. If we overreact, the impact will be too great."
"He does the first day, I do the fifteenth!"
Li Huaide waved his hand to suppress it and explained: "Applying for an application is just a matter of running the race. If the construction site is stopped, the most that will result is some loss of progress."
"But we must make a necessary and forceful response to this kind of temptation. We can't let him take advantage of us and cause trouble again and again!"
He pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "Let's do this. After informing the city, you contact Hebei and Henan provinces to ask if they are willing to accept the relocation of the steel mill."
"Yes, sir, I'll do it right away."
Li Xuewu nodded, made a note in his notebook, glanced at Jing Yunong, and then got up and left.
He hoped that Jing Yunong could communicate with Li Huaide after he left. Even if he wanted to create momentum or threats, he had to control the scope of influence. If things really got out of hand, no one would have an easy time.
Indeed, if the steel mill's several reports and applications were submitted, the higher-ups would definitely be furious.
It forced factories to stop construction and large industrial enterprises to leave, affecting economic development, especially disrupting the economic deployment work of comprehensive enterprises in heavy industrial transformation that was the focus of the ministry and even the higher authorities this year.
While the city is facing problems such as the loss of industrial base, loss of industrial structure, and damage to employment channels, it also has to face responsibilities and pressure from above.
It is conceivable that Zhang Dayong, who took the initiative to promote this project, could not bear all this. Even Liu Xiangqian, who was responsible for the main work, could not withstand Li Huaide's anger this time.
But, should we do this?
In Li Xuewu's opinion, the external situation currently faced by the steel mill is somewhat complicated, and many difficulties limit the development space of the steel mill.
If, driven by interests and influence, more departments impose excessive demands and restrictions on steel mills during their transformation and development, it would be a relief for the steel mills to be overwhelmed.
Therefore, from Li Xuewu's point of view, it is necessary for Lao Li to implement the strategy of striking the first blow to avoid a hundred blows.
The key is to see whether it can be controlled to a certain degree, or the strength.
If this punch was thrown without any hesitation, it is very likely to cripple Zhang Dayong, disable Liu Xiangqian, or even knock down many people.
As a result, the land for the steel mill was acquired and the river at the gate was saved, but Li Huaide's position was about to collapse and the location of the steel mill became awkward.
Li Huaide is of course still the person in charge of the steel rolling mill, but after the upgrade and groupization, the higher-ups will not allow someone who dares to mess things up to be the manager.
Lao Li had to make this decision. If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to control the situation inside the steel mill. If he did this, he might not be able to withstand the situation outside.
Li Xuewu was also worried about his decision and could only give his greatest support in the implementation of the specific work.
He personally wrote the application reports to the Ministry of Industry, the municipal government and relevant leaders, being extremely careful in his choice of words and striving to be prudent.
At the same time, it is also necessary to fully express Li Huaide's attitude and the attitude of the steel mill.
After the application was completed, he checked it several times and asked Peng Xiaoli to submit it to Li Huaide's office for review.
After reading several applications, Li Huaide signed his name on the back, agreeing to take full responsibility for the consequences of this action.
Jing Yunong, who was talking to him in the office, looked at him and also picked up a pen and signed his name on the back of the document.
The document was handed over to the management committee office, and several leaders who heard about the matter went to the office to sign their names before the document was sent.
Even the union leader Kumamoto Chengdu, who had been recuperating in the hospital, "overcame" his physical difficulties and came to the committee office to sign despite his "illness".
This time the application documents were not sent to these leaders, but they had their own persistence and understanding regarding the signature.
The steel rolling mill has always been a united collective, and the management team is also united.
At this critical external moment, they should not and could not let Li Huaide bear all the pressure alone.
The meaning of Li Huaide's signature is certainly different from the signatures of all the members of the steel mill's management team.
Just when Li Xuewu called the leadership offices in charge of industry in Hebei and Henan provinces for consultation and promised to provide a detailed consultation letter after the phone call, the response came from above.
First, Liu Shaozong, who received the application report, called Li Xuewu. The first thing he said was, "You are crazy!" The second thing he said was, "What is your factory going to do?"
Li Xuewu ignored his questioning and reiterated the authenticity and significance of the application report.
This made Liu Shaozong realize that the steel rolling mill was serious this time. It was not accurate to say that the net would be broken if the fish died, because if the steel rolling mill fish swam away from the capital and went to other provinces, it would be treated as a treasure and it would not die.
At most, some construction costs will be lost, but compared with the preferential conditions offered by other provinces, it is completely insignificant.
But it is troublesome for Zhang Dayong and Liu Xiangqian who are in charge of industry, this network will definitely be broken.
Without getting any definite feedback from Li Xuewu, Liu Shaozong could only upload the application report layer by layer.
I don’t know where the message was passed to, but basically all the leaders in the factory received inquiry calls from above.
Li Huaide, in particular, received the most calls, but his answers were basically the same.
The wording in the report written by Li Xuewu was very precise. Li Huaide had a backup copy in his hand. When he answered the leader's questions, the core meaning was based on this.
Without complaining or expressing grievances, just speak the facts directly. From the perspective of harmonious coexistence of humanistic education, industrial development, and ecological construction, this decision was made regarding the ecological damage and economic losses caused by the expansion of the steel rolling mill.
Li Huaide didn't complain at all on the phone, his tone was full of guilt and sadness.
It is a pity that the steel rolling mill did not bring more development power to the capital, and it is even more sad because the development of the factory has affected the construction of ecological balance.
Therefore, he felt very guilty and made the painful decision to relocate when the steel mill was in a critical stage of change and transformation.
With the goal of protecting the Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone, we are willing to sacrifice our own development time and space to maintain the health of this land and water.
After saying this, even if the leaders above knew what was going on, they couldn't say a word of reprimand.
I could only ask a few more questions about the details and how big the steel rolling mill planned to build on both sides of the Liangma River before hanging up the phone.
On this day, the steel rolling mill was considered to have stirred up a hornet's nest. Zhang Dayong, who was regarded as the one who actually stirred up a hornet's nest, called Li Huaide but he did not answer. He also called Li Xuewu but he did not answer.
He knew that things were getting serious and someone was going to be in trouble.
