Chapter 261 Sha Ruijin insists on the development of industrial and mining enterprises!
In the solemn and slightly dull conference room of the Handong Provincial Party Committee Building, the lights illuminated everyone's faces very clearly, and a key meeting concerning the direction of Handong's industry was going on intensely. Sha Ruijin sat at one end of the conference table, his expression serious, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after this period of in-depth research, I believe that the industrial and mining area is the pillar industry of Handong, and we must make every effort to continue its development. This is the foundation of our Handong's economic stability, and it must not be shaken in the slightest." Sha Ruijin's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the conference room. His eyes swept across Qi Tongwei and others opposite him intentionally or unintentionally, secretly thinking in his heart how to take this opportunity to further suppress the opponent's power.
Gao Yuliang raised his head slightly, frowning slightly. He really couldn't agree with Sha Ruijin's point of view. In his opinion, Sha Ruijin's conservative ideas simply put Handong's future in danger. "Governor Sha, I have reservations about your opinion. Today's times are developing rapidly. If state-owned enterprises do not carry out drastic renovations, they will inevitably be eliminated by the times. We cannot rest on our laurels, but should actively explore the path of innovation and promote industrial upgrading and transformation. This is the long-term way for Handong's development." Gao Yuliang argued with reason, looking firmly at Sha Ruijin while speaking, with no intention of backing down.
Sha Ruijin's face darkened slightly. He did not expect Gao Yuliang to refute him so directly. He was angry in his heart, secretly thinking that he must teach this ignorant guy a lesson, but on the surface he remained calm: "Secretary Gao, you don't seem to fully understand what I mean. I am not against industrial upgrading, but at present, the stable development of industrial and mining areas is crucial to Handong. We cannot blindly pursue the so-called "new" and ignore the reality and possible risks. As the governor, I have the primary responsibility for the overall development of Handong. I have my own considerations on this key decision." Sha Ruijin said, tapping the table with his fingers to show his authority.
Qi Tongwei sat aside, watching the argument between the two with cold eyes, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew in his heart that the reason why Sha Ruijin insisted on the development of the industrial and mining area was probably not just a simple economic consideration, but more of an opportunity to win over Zhao Lichun's original team, thereby consolidating his position and suppressing his own power. He secretly mocked in his heart: "Sha Ruijin, do you think you can succeed with this trick? It's simply courting death."
After the meeting, Gao Yuliang anxiously found Qi Tongwei, with a trace of anxiety on his face: "Director Qi, today's meeting is not going well. Sha Ruijin insists on having his own way, we have to think of a way to deal with it, otherwise if he really reorganizes Zhao Lichun's original team according to his plan, we will be passive."
Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "Secretary Gao, don't panic. Sha Ruijin is playing with fire. Think about it, the group of people he has won over, Li Dakang only cares about political achievements and often does whatever it takes to achieve his goals; Liu Xinjian and others were deeply mired in the quagmire of corruption during the Zhao Lichun period. They are like time bombs that will explode sooner or later, and Sha Ruijin will be implicated and unable to escape." Qi Tongwei spoke as he leaned leisurely on the sofa, as if everything was under his control.
Gao Yuliang felt relieved after hearing what Qi Tongwei said, but he was still a little worried: "Director Qi, although that's true, we can't just sit there and wait. If he really makes some achievements in the process, or uses this opportunity to expand his sphere of influence, it will be difficult for us to deal with it."
Qi Tongwei stood up and slowly walked to the window. Looking at the bustling city outside, he was planning his next move in his mind: "Secretary Gao, we certainly can't just sit there and wait for death. We should keep our troops in place and keep a close eye on their every move. I have arranged for people to investigate their dealings and collect relevant evidence. As long as we have enough evidence, we can deal them a fatal blow at a critical moment. At the same time, we must continue to consolidate our influence in the political and legal system and other fields to make our foundation more solid."
On Sha Ruijin's side, in order to promote his plan, he frequently contacted Li Dakang and others. In a private meeting, Sha Ruijin said to Li Dakang with a big smile on his face: "Secretary Dakang, the development of the industrial and mining area cannot be separated from your support. You are experienced in urban construction. I think we can work together to combine the transformation of the industrial and mining area with the overall planning of the city to create a new economic growth point in Handong."
Li Dakang had some doubts about Sha Ruijin's intentions, but he also saw the potential for political achievements, so he responded calmly: "Governor Sha, this is a big project that requires the concerted efforts of all parties. However, during the implementation process, we will definitely encounter many difficulties, such as the allocation of funds, the coordination of the interests of all parties, etc. These all require us to consider carefully."
After meeting with Sha Ruijin, Liu Xinjian had his own plans. He knew that he had many problems in running his business and was worried that Sha Ruijin's reforms would affect his own interests. "Humph, Sha Ruijin wants to use us as pawns, but it's not that easy. I have to find a way out for myself first. If that doesn't work, I can just push all the past problems onto others." Liu Xinjian thought to himself, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
As time went by, Sha Ruijin gradually encountered many difficulties in promoting the development of the industrial and mining area. Some projects were forced to stop due to insufficient funds, and the approval process was also subject to various inexplicable delays. He began to realize that things were not as simple as he imagined, and Zhao Lichun's original team was not so easy to control.
"What on earth are these people doing? Are they trying to go against me?" Sha Ruijin was furious. He sat in his office, thinking about countermeasures with a gloomy face. He knew that he had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, otherwise it would not only affect his position in Handong, but also he might be caught by Qi Tongwei and others and fall into an irretrievable situation.
Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang secretly stepped up their investigation of Sha Ruijin and his team. They collected intelligence through various channels and found that Li Dakang was suspected of violating regulations in some urban construction projects, as well as clues to secret transactions between Liu Xinjian and some illegal businessmen.
"Director Qi, we now have a lot of evidence. Can we consider taking action?" Gao Yuliang said excitedly to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's not the time yet. We have to wait until they make things a bigger fuss and let Sha Ruijin fall into the quagmire completely. Then we can take action and hit him with one blow, leaving him with no chance of recovery." Qi Tongwei's eyes revealed a ruthlessness, as if he had already seen the scene of Sha Ruijin falling in front of him.
In this secret contest between power and industry, Handong's officialdom is shrouded in a thick shadow. All parties are racking their brains for their own interests, while ordinary people can only pray silently in this ever-changing situation that Handong can restore peace as soon as possible and move towards the road of real prosperity and development. However, the situation is becoming more and more complicated. Every new event is like a chess piece falling on this chessboard of power, triggering a chain reaction, making the future of the entire Handong full of more variables and uncertainties.
As the days passed, Sha Ruijin felt more and more that there was great resistance to the development plan of the industrial and mining area. He decided to hold an internal meeting to try to solve the current problems. In the meeting room, the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.
Sha Ruijin frowned and said, "Everyone, our industrial and mining area development plan can no longer stagnate like this. I don't care what conflicts or concerns you have had before, now we must work together to move things forward. Secretary Li Dakang, what is the problem with your fund allocation?"
Li Dakang cleared his throat, his expression slightly helpless: "Governor Sha, there are indeed many difficulties in terms of funding. Some of the originally promised investment funds have not yet arrived, and the bank is also tightening credit. I have tried my best to coordinate, but the effect is minimal. In addition, during the project planning process, there are also some disputes over land expropriation. Local residents are not very satisfied with the compensation plan, which has also had a great impact on the progress of the project."
Sha Ruijin was feeling annoyed. He turned his gaze to Liu Xinjian and said, "Mr. Liu, your corporate resources should be able to provide some support for the project, right? Why haven't we seen any substantial action so far?"
Liu Xinjian had beads of sweat on his forehead. He pretended to be calm and answered, "Governor Sha, our company has recently been facing some operational difficulties. The market competition is fierce, and costs are rising. It is difficult for us to withdraw a large amount of funds and resources to invest in industrial and mining projects while maintaining our own operations. However, we will try our best to find ways to overcome the difficulties and cooperate with the government's work."
Sha Ruijin looked at Liu Xinjian's evasiveness and could not help but feel suspicious. He knew that Liu Xinjian must be hiding something, but now was not the time to pursue it. The most urgent task was to solve the project's difficulties.
"Okay, since everyone is having difficulties, let's discuss a solution again. We can consider introducing external investment and attracting some capable companies to participate in the construction of the industrial and mining area. At the same time, for the issues of land expropriation and compensation for residents, we must set up a special working group to communicate in depth with the residents, increase the compensation standards within a reasonable range, and ensure that the project can proceed smoothly." Sha Ruijin proposed a new idea.
However, this plan did not receive a positive response from everyone. Some officials who were close to Qi Tongwei raised various doubts and objections at the meeting, and they tried to hinder Sha Ruijin's plan through delaying tactics.
Outside the conference room, Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang were closely following the progress of the meeting.
"Director Qi, it seems that Sha Ruijin is a little anxious. Although his plan seems feasible, it is difficult to implement. As long as we put in a little effort behind the scenes, we can ruin his plan." Gao Yuliang said.
Qi Tongwei nodded. "That's right. We will continue to have our people create trouble at every stage. At the same time, we will organize the evidence we have collected about Li Dakang and Liu Xinjian, and disclose it to the media at a suitable time. We will first create some public pressure on them and throw Sha Ruijin's camp into chaos."
In the following days, Handong's officialdom became more turbulent. Sha Ruijin's industrial and mining development plan moved forward with difficulty under various obstacles, while Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang continued to make plans in secret, preparing to give Sha Ruijin a fatal blow.
In order to solve the funding problem, Li Dakang ran around looking for investment. During a negotiation with a foreign company, he introduced the prospects of the industrial and mining area project with hope: "Our Handong industrial and mining area has rich resources and a solid industrial foundation. Once this transformation and upgrading project is successful, it will bring huge economic benefits. If your company can participate, you will not only get rich returns, but also establish a good corporate image in the Handong area."
However, after learning about the complicated situation in Handong's officialdom, the other company hesitated about investing. "Secretary Li, we are very interested in this project, but we are also worried about the investment risks. The current instability in Handong's officialdom may have unpredictable effects on the project, and we need to reconsider it."
Li Dakang returned disappointed, realizing that if the problems within the bureaucracy could not be resolved, it would be difficult for the industrial and mining area project to make substantial progress. He began to doubt Sha Ruijin's leadership ability and wondered whether he should find another way out.
Liu Xinjian secretly colluded with some unscrupulous businessmen to try to transfer corporate assets and prepare for his own retreat. He knew that he would be drawn into the vortex of this power struggle sooner or later, and only by preparing in advance could he avoid suffering greater losses.
"It's not that easy for Sha Ruijin to use me. I have to protect my own interests first. As for the development of the industrial and mining area, that is not what I need to consider now." Liu Xinjian thought to himself, with a determined look on his face.
However, Sha Ruijin did not give up in the face of numerous difficulties. He decided to go to the industrial and mining areas in person to understand the actual situation at the grassroots level and find a breakthrough to solve the problem. In the industrial and mining areas, he saw dilapidated factories, backward equipment and the eyes of workers who were eager to change the status quo.
"We can't let these workers down, nor can we let Handong's economic pillar collapse. No matter how great the difficulties are, I will persevere." Sha Ruijin vowed secretly in his heart.
He had in-depth exchanges with the workers and listened to their opinions and suggestions. The workers reflected some practical problems, such as poor working environment, low wages, and insufficient technical training. Sha Ruijin realized that the development of industrial and mining areas is not only a matter of industrial upgrading, but also involves many aspects such as improving people's livelihood.
"We need to formulate a comprehensive development plan that will not only promote industrial development, but also improve workers' living conditions and enhance their welfare benefits. Only in this way can we truly win the support of workers and bring new vitality to the industrial and mining areas," Sha Ruijin told the accompanying officials.
After returning to the provincial party committee, Sha Ruijin began to adjust his plans. He increased investment in livelihood projects in industrial and mining areas to improve workers' living environment, medical conditions and educational resources. At the same time, he was also actively looking for reliable partners, bypassing those links controlled by Qi Tongwei's forces and directly connecting with some socially responsible companies.
Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang felt a little pressure after learning about Sha Ruijin's new initiative.
"Director Qi, Sha Ruijin is changing his strategy. He is starting with people's livelihood and trying to win their hearts. This will not be good for us." Gao Yuliang said with some concern.
