If that's the case, the team will be difficult to manage.
Jin Zhicheng is able to distinguish between what is more important and what is less important.
"I understand what you mean. You want to win over Secretary Gong's votes?"
“Song Hongzhong, Ning Yuanming, and Wen Qihang have clearly aligned themselves with Secretary Gong. With our two votes, we now have six votes. No matter what Yan Gangfeng chooses, Qi Tong will definitely be able to take up his post in Handong this time.”
"As expected of the Organization Minister of Handong, you, Lao Pang, are first-rate when it comes to personnel work. But what about our relationship with Governor Jin?"
"Haven't you noticed? Now Secretary Gong is going against Governor Jin. The first Handong Foreign Business Conference is proof of that. Do you think they'll kick us out at this crucial moment?"
"Makes sense."
"And I also found out some information."
"what news?"
“There is a conflict between Liang Qunfeng and Secretary Gong’s secretary, Qi Tongwei. I don’t think he will get along with Secretary Gong.”
"I understand. In this way, the lines are clearly drawn, and our two votes will be crucial!"
Jin Zhicheng, Liang Qunfeng, Zhou Kaihua, and You Deshun received four votes.
Gong Kaichen, Song Hongzhong, Ning Yuanming, and Wen Qihang received four votes.
Yan Gangfeng's attitude is unclear.
Those two votes, Pang Bochuan and Zhao Lichun, are crucial votes among the provincial party committee standing committee members.
"They're fighting like gods, we're just here to get a share of the spoils. As long as Secretary Gong and his team support the conference, we'll support the foreign business negotiation conference. I'm sure Secretary Gong can see that."
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! In that case, it's almost certain that Qi Tong will become the mayor of Lin City."
"Blame Liang Qunfeng, he's the one who gave birth to such a wonderful daughter."
"How to say?"
Pang Bochuan recounted Liang Lu's story, and Zhao Lichun couldn't help but shake his head after listening.
"The two sons of the Liang family are both good, but their daughter is really all show and no substance."
Hearing Zhao Lichun's words, Pang Bochuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Your two daughters are quite good, but your son is really too much of a spoiled brat.
The Zhao family is exactly the opposite of the Liang family.
Pang Bochuan and Zhao Lichun had private contact, and naturally, the other Standing Committee members also had contact with them.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the routine work meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. In the same meeting room, all eleven members of the Standing Committee of Handong were present this time.
Secretary Gong sat at the top of the table, flanked by Jin Zhicheng and Liang Qunfeng, the second and third leaders of Handong Province.
The other eight standing committee members sat down on either side of the table according to their ranking.
At the very beginning of the meeting, Secretary Gong asked Pang Bochuan to discuss with everyone the candidates for the three mayors of Lincheng City.
After Pang Bochuan finished speaking, Secretary Gong was no longer in a hurry; it was Jin Zhicheng and Zhao Lichun who were anxious.
"Let's discuss! Which of these three comrades do you think is more suitable?"
As the governor, Jin Zhicheng was absent from the last Standing Committee meeting, so he will definitely make sure to show his presence this time.
"Let me start by saying that Comrade Zu Chang failed to be elected as the secretary of the Lincheng Municipal Party Committee last time, which was indeed related to the fact that he was not as suitable as Comrade Wang Yang."
"However, I think Comrade Zu Chang is suitable to be the mayor of Lincheng City this time. His qualifications, abilities and experience are sufficient to serve as the mayor."
As Governor Kim's staunchest supporter, Yu Deshun immediately echoed this sentiment.
“I think Governor Zhicheng’s suggestion is very pertinent.”
"Comrade Zuchang is indeed suitable."
Liang Qunfeng and Zhou Kaihua immediately joined the group, and it was clear that the four of them stood together.
Jin Zhicheng set his sights on Zhao Lichun. Although he did not support Yang Qitong, he still had a key item in his possession that might be able to entice Zhao Lichun.
What is it?
Those thirteen foreign companies.
Jin Zhicheng decided where the foreign investment would be located in Handong. If Zhao Lichun joined the delegation this time, he could consider focusing the thirteen foreign investment companies on Jingzhou City.
He simply couldn't believe that this offer wouldn't tempt Zhao Lichun.
Zhao Lichun had indeed considered this issue, but this time, he not only wanted foreign investment to be established in Jingzhou, but also wanted Yang Qitong to take over.
As for how to attract foreign investment to Jingzhou? Just support Secretary Gong.
Zhao Lichun didn't believe that Secretary Gong, who had served as the governor of Bianxi Province for five years, would lack channels for foreign investment.
Zhao Lichun believes this gamble is worth taking.
So, under Jin Zhicheng's gaze, Zhao Lichun slowly spoke.
"I think Qi Tong is a good match! He's suitable in every way."
Jin Zhicheng's heart skipped a beat.
Yan Gangfeng, Ning Yuanming, Wen Qihang, and Song Hongzhong immediately turned their attention to Zhao Lichun and Pang Bochuan.
Chapter 177: Combine vertically and horizontally
Apart from Yan Gangfeng, the other three members of the Standing Committee are clearly following in Secretary Gong's footsteps.
So after Zhao Lichun spoke, the expressions on their faces became somewhat meaningful.
For Governor Jin and his team, they would never win the Standing Committee meeting unless they won over Zhao Lichun and Pang Bochuan.
No matter how you compare, you're at a disadvantage.
Zhao Lichun has openly stood up to support Yang Qitong, and although Pang Bochuan hasn't said anything, everyone knows his attitude.
Zhao Lichun has already spoken, does Pang Bochuan need to say anything more?
Jin Zhicheng admitted that he had miscalculated in this regard; he had underestimated Zhao Lichun and his group's ambitions.
If you want both, then you're in a difficult situation.
"Yes! Although Comrade Qitong lacks local experience, his learning ability is indeed commendable."
As soon as the voice came out, Jin Zhicheng immediately looked in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was Wen Qihang, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee.
Secretary Gong is not in a hurry to express his opinion, but everyone knows that Wen Qihang's words actually represent Secretary Gong's attitude.
Secretary Gong also supported Yang Qitong in order to gain support from Zhao Lichun and others, and to obtain support for the foreign business negotiation conference.
At that time, Secretary Gong can easily attract foreign companies to settle in Jingzhou.
Jin Zhicheng secretly admired him.
Finally, Secretary Gong spoke up.
"The position of mayor of Lincheng City cannot remain vacant for too long. It would be irresponsible to the people of Lincheng. This Standing Committee meeting must approve the appointment."
"Now that everyone has expressed their opinion, let's vote by raising our hands! Those who agree that Comrade Xu Zuchang should serve as the mayor of Lincheng City, please raise your hands."
At this moment, Jin Zhicheng raised his hand, and You Deshun raised his hand.
Zhou Kaihua and Liang Qunfeng exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised their hands.
The situation is now clearly divided, with one faction supporting Provincial Party Secretary Gong Kaichen and the other supporting Governor Jin Zhicheng.
Secretary Gong glanced at it and said without changing his expression.
"Those who support Comrade Yang Qitong serving as mayor of Lincheng City, please raise your hands."
After he finished speaking, Secretary Gong was the first to raise his hand, followed by Song Hongzhong and Ning Yuanming.
Zhao Lichun and Pang Bochuan showed a hint of joy on their faces and raised their hands one after another. There were already six votes in support of Yang Qitong.
Whether Yan Gangfeng, the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, raises his hand or not is no longer of any concern to the overall situation.
As for Xue Huan, the mayor of Huaizhou City, he was merely going through the motions this time, just accompanying the prince in his studies.
After all the voting was completed, Yang Qitong successfully took over as mayor of Lincheng City with seven votes in favor.
However, for now, his position is still Deputy Secretary of the Lincheng Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Mayor, and Acting Mayor.
This is because the position of mayor is quite special; he can only assume office after being elected by the people's congress the following year.
This also represents a situation where the mayor is elected by the people of Lincheng City, and he is responsible to all the people of Lincheng City.
Regardless of whether Yang Qitong will ultimately be held accountable to the people, this is the rule that is currently in place.
However, the provincial party committee standing committee has already approved his appointment and removal, so it is impossible for him to lose the election at the people's congress next year. This is also a political unspoken rule.
After completing the personnel appointment and removal of the mayor of Lincheng City, the position of executive deputy director of the provincial propaganda department left behind by Yang Qitong was no longer of much concern to the Standing Committee members.
Compared to the position of vice minister, the upcoming foreign investment negotiation meeting is more worthy of the attention of the provincial party committee standing committee members.
Attracting investment is the easiest way to achieve political success, and everyone is focused on it. Once you reach their position, it's incredibly difficult to get promoted. How can you succeed without enough achievements?
Although the foreign investment negotiation meeting was decided by Secretary Gong, it was Secretary-General Wen Qihang who took the initiative to propose it at the Standing Committee meeting.
However, everyone knows that Wen Qihang is testing the waters for Secretary Gong!
After Wen Qihang finished speaking, Secretary Gong continued the conversation.
"With the reform work in full swing across the country, our Handong Province must firmly shoulder the banner of reform and unwaveringly adhere to the principle of taking economic development as the central task."
"Therefore, attracting investment is of paramount importance to the province's economic work. Comrade Zhicheng previously signed agreements with thirteen foreign companies, which is a very good start."
"Therefore, I also want to learn from Comrade Zhicheng and convene the first Handong Province Foreign Investment Negotiation Conference. Comrade Zhicheng, I believe you will definitely support me, right?"
As he spoke, Secretary Gong turned his gaze to Jin Zhicheng. These words were shocking enough for all the Standing Committee members.
At this point, Secretary Gong was practically revealing his true intentions. Could Jin Zhicheng possibly object? Putting aside everything else, just considering the practicalities of the work, he couldn't possibly object.
By opposing Secretary Gong's initiative to hold this foreign business negotiation meeting, you are opposing the reform efforts of Handong Province.
Not to mention, Zhao Lichun and Pang Bochuan's attitudes are currently ambiguous.
Everyone knows that Secretary Gong just supported Zhao Lichun and his group. If Zhao Lichun and Pang Bochuan do not support Secretary Gong in the future, then their people will never be able to get approval at the Standing Committee meeting again.
Zhao Lichun naturally understood which was more important.
This is the overwhelming trend of events, one that Kim Ji-sung cannot refuse, much less oppose.
However, not being able to oppose it does not mean that Jin Zhicheng unconditionally supports it. Jin Zhicheng is certainly capable to have reached the position of provincial governor.
"Secretary Gong, we just signed agreements with 13 foreign companies. Is it too fast to hold a foreign business negotiation meeting right away? I think it's better to be more cautious in economic development."
I did not explicitly object, but economic work must be stable, and that is one of the standards.
In fact, Jin Zhicheng was practically criticizing Secretary Gong for being too radical.
Before Secretary Gong could even speak, someone below naturally retorted.
“Governor Zhicheng, the decision to hold the foreign investment negotiation meeting was made after careful consideration. Attracting foreign investment is entirely beneficial to Handong. Under these circumstances, being slow at one step will mean being slow at every step.”
Jin Zhicheng raised an eyebrow. Ning Yuanming had become bolder after having a powerful backer, and he even dared to contradict him.
However, just because Secretary Gong has help doesn't mean Jin Zhicheng doesn't have anyone, Zhou Kaihua replied on the other side.
"How many foreign companies can we sign at the conference? Who can guarantee that? We're holding this conference with great fanfare, but if the results aren't ideal, it will be detrimental to the economy of Handong. Have you considered that?"
"Is Governor Kaihua so certain that the negotiation meeting will fail?"
"That was not what I meant."
"Okay, stop arguing."
As soon as Secretary Gong spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Chapter 178 Old Fang's skill is evident from his first move!
Zhou Kaihua's words just now made Secretary Gong very unhappy.
He was very enthusiastic about the first foreign investment conference.
But Zhou Kaihua said these things right away. What does that mean? Are you questioning Secretary Gong's abilities?
Therefore, Secretary Gong did not tolerate him at all and spoke directly.
