Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1005 Persuading He Anxia (2)

"Going to Pingzhou is also an option."

He Anxia didn't want to leave in such a humiliating way. Even if he couldn't achieve anything outstanding in Pingzhou, it would be good to gain some prestige.

As long as I can eventually make it, I'm willing to accept anything.

Pingzhou is an economically developed area.

Given He Anxia's resume and background, if he serves one term and increases GDP, his promotion to vice-provincial level will likely be a natural progression.

At that time, we can pack up and move to another place; Handong would be just right.

By then, his father will most likely have retired to the second line. With some maneuvering, he can take on the position of a member of the provincial party committee standing committee, take over the people his father left behind, and make great strides in the cause.

Qi Tongwei said, "Pingzhou is indeed a good place, but if I were you, I definitely wouldn't go to Pingzhou."

"You have a better option? Do you want me to go to Ningchuan? Will the provincial party committee agree?" He Anxia perked up.

Ningchuan is the economic core of the six southern cities and the largest city in terms of economy along the Han River. It is also the position that Beishan will pursue among the six northern cities in the future.

The economy is currently experiencing strong growth and rapid expansion.

If he could serve as the municipal party secretary there for one term, given his background, his promotion to vice-provincial level would be a certainty.

Moreover, there are rumors that Ningchuan is about to be upgraded to a special administrative region.

Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "No, no, no, it's not Ningchuan, I'm talking about Heji City."

“Heji City?” He Anxia was taken aback. “Tongwei, you’re not kidding me, are you?”

Upon hearing this unexpected name, He Anxia abruptly stood up, his face turning ashen.

Compared to other cities in the north, Heji City is indeed slightly stronger, but compared to Pingzhou, it is worlds apart.

Sending him to Heji City is treating his career like a joke.

If it weren't for their long-standing relationship, he probably would have kicked him out.

Qi Tongwei waved his hand with a smile, reassuringly saying, "Anxia, ​​don't rush, sit down and listen to me finish."

"Sit down, sit down, please sit down."

Qi Tongwei pulled He Anxia up with a hand.

He Anxia took a deep breath, sat down again, but there was no joy on his face.

Qi Tongwei continued, "Heji City certainly cannot compare with Pingzhou in terms of economy. Judging from the current development situation, it may even soon become a backward city in the south."

But that's precisely what represents opportunity—an opportunity for you to prove yourself.

"What kind of place is Haji City? It's the granary of the Han River, a plain area. Doesn't it seem familiar?"

He Anxia seemed to be thinking, "You mean the river mouth?"

"Yes, I have studied this region carefully, and it is actually quite similar to our Hekou County in Handong."

Apart from being slightly larger in area, they share striking similarities in economic structure, industrial development, cultural atmosphere, and folk customs.

This similarity is not only reflected at the macro level, but also in many details.

For example, their local specialty products are all derivatives of the primary industry, such as wine, grain processing, and animal feed.

Do you think it looks familiar?

There's a saying among us Chinese: "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."

No matter how well you do in Pingzhou, it's just copying others' work; no one will label Pingzhou as belonging to He Anxia.

Heji City is different; I believe it will become another monument for you, He Anxia.

After all, whether it's Hekou County or Heji City, their names suit you perfectly. I believe you'll achieve great things if you go there.

He Anxia was not brainwashed by Qi Tongwei. He looked up at the ceiling, thought for a moment, and said, "Tongwei, your decision to send me to Heji City is probably not just because the place suits me."

"Heji City, as far as I know, is Qu Zhengping's territory. Honestly, what exactly do you want?"

Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, "I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."

Neither of us is someone who passively takes a beating without fighting back. Don't you want to retaliate?

He Anxia pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't this a bit too risky?"

Going to Heji City to take the top position seems like a way to eliminate Qu Zhengping's influence and strike back hard.

From another perspective, it was a complete case of walking into a trap.

Entering Qu Zhengping's power center, he fought alone, bearing the title of municipal party secretary.

No one can say for sure who will win or lose, and there's always the possibility of someone stumbling.

Given his family background, there was absolutely no need for him to risk his life.

Qi Tongwei knew what the other party was worried about.

"Don't worry, Anxia. It's true that Heji City is a den of dragons and tigers, but before you go down there, the Provincial Party Committee will definitely help you subdue the dragons and tigers."

Reliable sources indicate that the provincial party committee may be about to take action against Heji City. The reason is that when Heji suffered a disaster last time, the local authorities concealed the situation, almost leading to a major disaster.

Therefore, this is our opportunity. When the provincial party committee makes a series of adjustments to the municipal party committee of Heji, all forces will be reshuffled, and you will only have to deal with some small fry at most.

"If you're still not reassured, how about this: I'll give you Xiao Long and his elite troops as well, okay?"

He Anxia seemed to be moved. "Then, about Beishan, you..."

"I'll put you first. You know me well enough. Beishan can't cause any trouble."

He Anxia pondered for a long time before finally nodding in agreement, "Alright, in that case, I'll venture into this den of dragons and tigers and see what happens."

As Qi Tongwei said, scions of prominent families like his are eager to achieve great things.

How far can one go by relying on others' influence?

The two smiled at each other.

After finishing their business, the two chatted casually about personnel issues in Beishan, and lit up cigarettes along the way.

Since the decision to leave has already been made, before heading to Haji City, one should promote those who deserve promotion to solidify one's career path in Hanjiang.

At the same time, this is also a default rule for all organizations.

Some leading cadres promote their own people in their original units before leaving office.

Generally speaking, as long as it's not too outrageous, no one will object.

Over the past year, He Anxia has gathered a large group of people, but only a few can truly be considered his confidants.

Needless to say, he had already planned to promote his secretary and driver to work in lower-level townships.

Qi Tongwei asked, "Aren't we taking it to Heji City?"

In an unfamiliar place, it's best to have your own people around you.

He Anxia shook his head. "This time it's not about sitting back and fishing; it's about a real fight. With their capabilities, bringing them along won't be of much help to me."

I plan to have Li Xiang, one of Xiao Long's subordinates, be my driver.

I met that kid once; he's very composed.

As for a secretary, I'll probably need someone familiar with the local situation.

Qi Tongwei said, "As for the secretary, I can ask Comrade Gao Yuan, the director of the Grain Bureau, to recommend someone for you. He knows many people in Hebei City and I believe he can find a suitable one for you."

"That would be perfect."

Qi Tongwei exhaled a puff of smoke. "Is there anyone else? You can suggest them, and I'll meet with the other standing committee members later and we'll approve it all at once."

“Ding Yizhen… um.” He Anxia scratched his temple, somewhat hesitant. “I’m thinking of taking him to Heji as well. What do you think?”

With enough people to stabilize the local area, he still needs to bring two more to expand the territory.

Qi Tongwei said, "I have no objection. With Aiguo and Xiaoli, we can stabilize the investment attraction. It's good for you to bring them along; they can be your helpers."

However, he's very capable in selling land; would he be out of a position to utilize his skills in Heji?

Most of the land in Haji City is farmland and cannot be converted into commercial land.

"That is a problem. I'll ask him when I have time tomorrow. If he's confident, I'll take him with me. If he's not confident, he can stay and I'll give him a promotion."

Next, He Anxia mentioned several more names, which Qi Tongwei noted down one by one.
