Chapter 849 News Network
Time flies. More than ten days have passed since Nie Longhai was sentenced, but the case is far from over.
Nie Hailong is like a wall, building up the depth and breadth of Hong Kong's judicial and political corruption.
Once this wall collapsed, many problems could no longer be contained and were exposed one after another.
Following the clues, many leading cadres were arrested.
What is surprising is that all the testimonies ended with Zhang Jiadong, the secretary of the Hong Kong Municipal Party Committee. Above him, everyone either remained silent or said nothing.
He Anxia was not satisfied with this and wanted to dig deeper, so he ordered the investigation team to increase the intensity of the interrogation.
Qi Tongwei disagreed. This case lasted for more than two months and was extremely destructive.
The several teams in the entire HK city have been almost completed, but the staffing has not been completed yet, and even the position of the municipal party secretary is still undecided.
It can be said that the normal operation of the city of Hong Kong has been seriously affected.
Hong Kong Mayor Shek Yau-chi has reported to him many times that many investors and entrepreneurs in the city are putting pressure on him, saying that if the anti-corruption campaign is not ended, they will have to move out of Hong Kong and move out of Beishan.
It's normal for bosses to have these concerns. To survive in a place, they must pay homage to the bosses, smooth out and straighten out the relationships between superiors and subordinates, and seek political protection and advantages for themselves.
This anti-corruption campaign in Beishan City has destroyed most of the network of relationships that they have painstakingly built over the years.
For them, if they want to continue to survive in Beishan and Hong Kong, they have to spend a lot of money to build a new network of relationships.
Spending some money is fine, but they are worried that the network will continue to be hit by endless storms as soon as it is built. This will make them feel insecure.
Qi Tongwei understood their thoughts, and he also thought that this matter should indeed end.
The social atmosphere cannot be purified by just a period of anti-corruption struggle, especially given the current situation in Beishan, it is not the time to fight corruption.
When the main goal is to develop the economy and people haven't become rich yet, anti-corruption will only have a counterproductive effect.
To put it in an inappropriate way - if we don't allow them to be corrupt appropriately, how can we motivate them?
Moreover, this year is crucial. The provincial party committee is about to change leadership, and the city is in a period of accelerated development. Will the continued expansion of the anti-corruption campaign have an impact on the economy? Qi Tongwei believes it will definitely.
He Anxia didn't think so. He felt that as long as he could grasp the direction of public opinion, these would not be a problem. If certain corrupt groups were not eradicated once and for all at this opportunity, it would likely cause historical problems, which would revive and steal the fruits of their future victory.
On the phone, neither of them convinced the other.
There was no choice, Qi Tongwei had to hang up the phone and go to He Anxia’s office.
This was also the first time that Qi Tongwei entered He Anxia's office since the last time the two pretended to have a conflict. He Anxia was surprised by Qi Tongwei's arrival, but then he understood his intention.
After letting the secretary leave, he waved his hand and said, "Tongwei, don't try to persuade me about this. I think this pot must be exposed."
Qi Tongwei didn't speak immediately. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and puffed out half a cigarette before replying: "Lao He, I know you are angry, you just want to bring Lin Gangjian down.
You are acting impulsively and immaturely. Don't you forget what we are here for? "
"What do you mean by immature? There's an old Chinese saying, 'If you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze.' Are you just going to let him stay in Beishan, serving as the CPPCC chairman, like a nail in our chest, keeping us awake and unable to eat or sleep?"
Qi Tongwei asked, "Have you ever considered whether this nail was placed there intentionally by the provincial Party committee?"
As a superior department, preventing the formation of absolute power below is also an important part of the work content and a very critical task.
This is not just a detail in daily management, but a core measure to ensure the stability and balance of the entire organizational structure.
Not only will they encounter this situation, but even at the provincial party committee and even the central level, there will be similar considerations and arrangements.
Since ancient times, preventing excessive local power has always been one of the important strategies in national governance, and this wisdom has run through all periods of history.
Qi Tongwei and He Anxia are both from Handong, so it is natural for them to form factions. When the two of them work together, the whole province will be in trouble.
Since you are worried, then put a few people who are not in harmony with you to balance the situation. This is the only way to ensure that no major problems will occur in one place.
Qi Tongwei reminded He Anxia of this, and he also thought of this. However, he was still unwilling to give in. He said, "Does it take so many nails to hammer in a nail? Isn't that motor just a nail? How much does the Provincial Party Committee distrust us?"
Why did He Anxia say this? The story started a week ago.
A week ago, He Anxia wanted to grant a piece of land to an investor for commercial use.
Ma Da, who had just taken office, took the initiative to inspect the situation of the land with a learning attitude.
It turned out that there were significant problems with this piece of land. As land in the city center, according to the current development speed of Beishan, it has huge appreciation potential and can at least double in the next few years.
But He Anxia actually sold it at a price that was 10% lower than the market price.
Ma Da raised an objection.
He Anxia, the powerful figure, ignored Ma Da's advice, bluntly remarking that he didn't understand economics. What appreciation potential? If they didn't sell the land to investors, how would they generate income? If they weren't allowed to boost Beishan's economy, how could they talk about the future?
Finally, he did not forget to ridicule Ma Da, saying that instead of talking about military affairs on paper in Beishan, he might as well go back to Wenshan, develop Wenshan, and then talk to him about the economy.
These words really irritated Ma Da, and he immediately said that he would report it to his superiors, suspecting that He Anxia was involved in corruption.
He Anxia also got angry and told Mada to go and file a complaint immediately, while continuing to mock the other party as a mayor who files a complaint.
The two had a big fight and became enemies.
"Old He, you can't say that. After all, we are no longer the county party secretary or county governor. It's normal for the province to have concerns about handing over such an important prefecture-level city to us.
If I were in their place, I would do the same. This is how I would be responsible to the Party and the people. "He paused and said:
I've been reading a lot of newspapers in neighboring cities lately, and they've all been reporting on the corruption problem in Beishan. I'm worried someone might try the same old tricks again, and it would have repercussions for both you and me."
This sentence reminded He Anxia again, "Have you found out what happened last time? Did Secretary Yu say anything to you?"
Qi Tongwei shook his head. "Don't you have a news network? What do they say?"
"I've analyzed several directions, but I'm still not sure. By the way, didn't you tell me last time that you wanted to learn about my information network? Would you like me to set you up?"
