Chapter 566 Zhao Anbang’s Warning
In the Municipal Party Committee Building, the oath-taking ceremony ended successfully. After the laid-off workers had a collective meal, they boarded the bus in an orderly manner.
Amidst firecrackers, police cars led the way and more than 200 buses formed a long queue and drove towards the highway in an orderly manner. To ensure a smooth journey, they will detour from Jianghai Province to Handong Province and become the first batch of re-employed people in Beishan City organized and resettled by the government.
Zhao Anbang waved goodbye to the workers on the car happily.
Being able to provide employment for tens of thousands of people at once is a good start. Now people generally lack understanding of the outside world. As long as we take the first step bravely and a job wave is formed, everyone will find their own way out in the future without the need for government arrangements. This will be a great thing for both the government and the people.
This employment conference for 10,000 people changed Zhao Anbang's opinion of He Anxia and Qi Tongwei a lot.
The two men did not do things as he expected, rushing around. Instead, they were steady and made full use of their advantages. One of them sent people outside from home, and the other brought people home from outside, completely stirring up the stagnant situation in Beishan City.
After waving goodbye to the last bus, He Anxia came over and quietly asked Zhao Anbang to move to the conference room. "Governor Anbang, our city leaders are all in place. Please take some time to give everyone a speech and encourage them."
Zhao Anbang waved his hand, "No, no, I don't want to say it at the expedition meeting, and I won't say it here either.
Comrade Yihong, I, and all the other members of the Standing Committee have long reached a consensus: you are the leaders of this city, and we cannot usurp the reins. I am here to lend you a hand, not to command you. You do your job. If any problems arise that require the provincial government's intervention, that is my job."
He Anxia smiled and said, "Well, with you here, we can work more freely."
Zhao Anbang added, "You can let go, but you can't make mistakes."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"By the way, I heard you guys have been setting up some kind of business circle lately? It's doing pretty well, and it's even spread to the provincial government. When I came down, Comrade Yihong asked me to check it out. Where is it? Can I go take a look?"
"Of course, it's not far from the Municipal Party Committee Building. Just walk over there, less than two blocks away." He Anxia pointed in a direction.
"How long will the walk be?"
"About ten minutes."
"Then do you have time to walk with me? You need to think carefully before answering. I'm not asking you to accompany me. If you have work to do, I suggest you work first. Let's not be idle."
He Anxia could tell that Zhao Anbang was telling the truth, and he replied sincerely, "Don't be ridiculous. The main work for today has been completed. There's nothing else that needs my personal supervision at the moment, so I have plenty of time."
"Okay, let's set off now. We don't want too many people following us. Just the two of us and a few other people accompanying us. Ideally, no more than five."
He Anxia agreed and turned around to make arrangements. He brought five accompanying personnel, including his secretary, three security personnel, and Ding Yizheng, who was in charge of this work.
A group of seven people drove lightly towards the commercial street.
On the way, Zhao Anbang brought up the topic again, "I wanted to meet Comrade Tong Wei this time, but I didn't expect it to be such an unfortunate coincidence that I passed him by. Do you know who he went to the provincial capital to meet this time?"
Zhao Anbang had long known from Pei Yihong that Qi Tongwei had Hong Kong business resources, so he was particularly concerned. If he could attract Hong Kong capital or even foreign capital, it would be of great benefit to him. After all, he was now stationed in Beishan City.
He Anxia nodded, "I know, he told me that he is the chairman of Longteng Group."
"Longteng Group!?" Zhao Anbang was a little surprised.
"Why, Governor Anbang, have you heard of it?"
Zhao Anbang nodded. "Yes, of course I haven't heard of it. It's so well-known."
He Anxia realized that the phrase "famous as thunder in one's ears" was not a compliment, and Zhao Anbang's next words confirmed his thoughts.
Zhao Anbang said, "Sun Lusheng from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) often reports to me on his work, and he often mentions the Longteng Group. He says this group has stirred up a lot of bloodshed in the stock market and made a lot of money. Even many listed companies in Hanjiang have fallen victim to their treachery, not to mention the millions of shareholders. In short, I don't have a good impression of the Longteng Group."
He Anxia was stunned for a moment.
Actually, he and Zhao Xiaoya had known each other for quite a long time, even earlier than Qi Tongwei, but they didn't have much interactions, so they didn't know much about each other.
The first time they met was when he was the county party secretary of Hekou County. Later, I heard that she was the daughter-in-law of a ministerial-level official above her. It was indeed a strong combination with a deep background.
He thought that Longteng Group only had hotel and real estate businesses, but he didn't expect that it was also involved in the stock market, making wealth in the stock market, and even touching state-controlled listed companies. This was not a good thing.
However, having said that, Zhao Xiaoya and Longteng Group have been of great help to him and Qi Tongwei along the way. Qi Tongwei even told him yesterday that the other party planned to invest 4 billion.
Such a large sum of money is not only a huge turning point for Beishan City, but also the cornerstone of his and Qi Tongwei's careers. He cannot ignore it.
Besides, as an executive vice governor, he thinks he can hold on for the sake of his career.
"Governor Anbang, we've known Director Zhao of Longteng Group for quite some time. To be honest, she's a pretty good person. She's invested a lot in Handong before, even at a loss. I think there's probably some misunderstanding here."
Zhao Anbang waved his hand and looked at He Anxia, "I know very well whether it's a misunderstanding or not. I also know what you're thinking. Are you worried that I'll take action against Long Teng?"
He Anxia, whose thoughts were touched, smiled awkwardly.
"Then don't worry about it. I'm not someone who can't afford to lose, and the Han River government isn't some barbaric government. If you're willing to gamble, you have to accept the loss.
Although reform and opening up were grand and sweeping, in reality, we were still crossing the river by feeling the stones. Even many articles and laws were not perfect and could not adapt to this new era.
Being imperfect means there are loopholes and loopholes that can be exploited.
We must never easily use the power in our hands to adopt brutal and rough methods to forcibly make up for the loopholes simply because others have found loopholes and taken advantage of them.
Doing so will not only fail to fundamentally solve the problem, but will instead cause even more serious impact and damage to the already fragile market economy.
It will undermine the confidence of market participants, unbalance resource allocation, and restrict economic freedom, etc.
Therefore, we must remain calm and rational, and respond to these challenges through legal, compliant, and scientifically sound methods to maintain the healthy and stable development of the market economy."
He Anxia breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, yes, Governor Anbang, you are right. We should take the initiative to fill the loopholes and prevent this from happening again."
Zhao Anbang changed the subject, "However, as a capital, she should also pay attention to this kind of thing. Letting it go does not mean tolerating it, nor does it mean that it didn't happen. Some things are recorded in other people's little notebooks.
If you have a say, try to persuade them. Otherwise, even if Hanjiang doesn't pursue the matter, there's no guarantee that some other places won't. If that provokes public outrage, even my family might not be able to withstand it."
He An was stunned. "Governor Anbang, it turns out you know everything."
Zhao Anbang snorted and laughed, "How could I not investigate their background when they took over a billion from a company controlled by our Hanjiang State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission?"
