Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

It is very common for cadres of the central government to go to the localities to take second posts. This is to increase the local work experience of these cadres.

Some cadres bring projects and funds with them when they go to the local area for secondment. Doing so can increase the weight of these cadres and make the secondment work smoother.

Local cadres can roughly measure the weight of these temporary cadres by comparing the amount of projects and funds these temporary cadres bring.

Cheng Bin took a project with him when he went to the local government this time. He helped that province win a water diversion project with a supporting fund of [-] million from the central government!

But now due to financial constraints, the project has been suspended.

This incident will severely damage Cheng Bin's image in front of local cadres.

"What does the leader mean that we want Xiangyang Group to invest in that province?" Wang Weidong asked tentatively.

Cheng Bin shook his head and said, "Don't you care about local news? Now local leaders are more willing to introduce state-owned enterprises, especially central enterprises, to invest in them!"

Wang Weidong understood, what Cheng Bin meant was whether the water diversion project could be revived.

"That province is located on a plateau, with many mountains, and it can't keep the precipitation! Whenever there is a drought, drinking water becomes a problem, and there is no way to guarantee agricultural production!" Cheng Bin said.

Wang Weidong didn't dare to answer the question. It required too much ability to do this. Compared with resurrecting a singer who has been eliminated in the singing competition, it should be to let Cheng Bin, a singer who has been eliminated, directly enter the next round Go in the game!
Seeing Wang Weidong's expression, Cheng Bin was very disappointed. Wang Weidong's indifference may be due to two reasons, one is powerless, and the other is unprofitable.

There is no benefit in doing such a big thing, who would want to do it?
Besides, according to the current background of the Xiangyang Group, he would not care about him as a deputy provincial cadre.

After eating, the two went back to their rooms to rest.

Wang Weidong was about to go to bed after taking a bath, but he received an overseas call from Zhang Kangmei.

"Weidong, why haven't you come back after staying in the United States for so long? I asked Xiaoyu to do something, but he pushed everything on you!" Zhang Kangmei questioned.

Wang Weidong had a headache when he heard the young lady's voice.

"I have very important things in the United States and I won't be able to come back for a while!" Wang Weidong replied.

"Weidong, I took a piece of land in Wulin City a few months ago, and now I lack development funds and it will soon be unfinished! Your Xiangyang Group must come in and help me with this!" Zhang Kangmei said.

The eldest lady is about to throw the pot away again.

"How unfinished is it?" Wang Weidong asked in embarrassment.

"The gate of the community has been built, and the rest has not started yet!" Zhang Kangmei replied.

Wang Weidong immediately understood what Zhang Kangmei meant. He took the land and built a gate. Then Zhang Kangmei mortgaged the land to the bank and took the money to do other things. Now he has no money for follow-up projects!
Many real estate developers do this. The process of continuously obtaining land is the process of continuously mortgage loans, and cover the old teapot with a new lid.

But if one day this chain is cut off, many real estate developers will fall into the abyss!
"I've also looked for others, but right now, your Xiangyang Group has the most funds!" Zhang Kangmei said.

"No matter how much money you have, you can't throw it into the water! Sister Kangmei, tell me what is the benefit of us doing this?" Wang Weidong asked.

"Weidong, now that housing prices are rising, this real estate project is still very promising! And I will definitely transfer back the loan for this land within two years, and I can mortgage the Niaozui Dam Hydropower Station to you!" Zhang Kangmei said.

Ten teapots with seven or eight lids are okay, but it would be too difficult if there are only four or five teapot lids.

Unfinished real estate is an economic problem, but it can easily turn into a social problem, and Zhang Kangmei doesn't want this to happen.

So she called Wang Weidong for help.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Wulin City to investigate right away. If there are no other questions, I can take over. But I have one thing to ask for your help. How long will you go to the Niaozui Dam Hydropower Station?" Wang Weidong asked.

"I go once a month, and I will go next month." Zhang Kangmei replied.

Now the Niaozui Dam Hydropower Station is Zhang Kangmei's best asset, so she has to visit it every month.

"When you go to the Niaozui Dam Hydropower Station next month, can you just go to that province for a business inspection? There is a senior official in that province named Cheng Bin who came down from the central government. Can you meet him then?" Wang Weidong asked.

Zhang Kangmei was very sensitive about this aspect, and she immediately understood what Wang Weidong meant.

"Okay, I'll meet him when you pick up the deal in Wulin City!" Zhang Kangmei said.

"Okay, I'm your queen's successor. When you get pregnant, you can say it's mine!" Wang Weidong said angrily.

"You fart!" Zhang Kangmei scolded.

When Cheng Bin woke up the next morning, he lacked interest. How could he be interested in skiing now?
But what else can he do if he doesn't take an official career?Of course, he can continue on the surface, just stay where he is and then take up a idle job in an unpopular department and stay for the rest of his life until he retires.

"Morning, leader!" Wang Weidong said while sitting opposite Cheng Bin with a smile.

A glass of milk, two slices of bread sandwiched with ham and vegetables Wang Weidong ate.

Cheng Bin just nodded and drank the porridge silently.

"Leader Cheng, I have a friend named Zhang Kangmei. She is going to your province for a business inspection next month. How about you please welcome her? Give me face!" Wang Weidong said in a pleading tone.

Cheng Bin's hand holding the spoon trembled slightly.

"Okay, for your sake, I will treat you well!" Cheng Bin said calmly.

"Thank you very much!" Wang Weidong said.

Cheng Bin seemed to have re-opened Ren Du's two veins, and felt a hot current running down his body.

He put down his spoon and said, "I think I'd better go back to the country sooner, there are so many jobs waiting for me in the province, it's shameful to be free and easy abroad!"

"Okay, I'll take you to the airport tomorrow!" Wang Weidong said.

After sending Cheng Bin away, Wang Weidong immediately went to see the old Mr. Robert who came back from Capitol Hill.

"Mr. Robert, my R&D center in Salt Lake City is under preparation, and I also want to expand the scale of the inverter factory!" Wang Weidong said.

"How big a factory do you want to build?" asked Robert Sr.

"About 3000 people, mainly supporting the three car companies. If the R&D center works smoothly in the future, I also want to produce inverters for wind turbines and solar panels!" Wang Weidong replied.

Hearing what Wang Weidong said, old Robert was very excited. For him, a factory with 3000 employees is already very big.

As a senator elected from Utah, his most important job is to fight for the interests of Utah.

"As long as the factory is built, not only these three American car companies, I will put pressure on Congress to let the small German factories in the United States also use your products!" Old Robert said.
