Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Why should I go to such a big leader?
Li Dingan walked over in a daze. Just as he was about to say hello, the director grabbed his hand first and said, "Old Tong, this is our Dinghai magic needle. You must take good care of it in the future!"

"Do I need you to explain?" Secretary Tong smiled and stretched out his hand, "Teacher Li, I have heard a lot about you!"

"Hello, Secretary Tong!"

"Teacher Li, don't be shy, this is our hometown!" Secretary Tong pointed to the side and said, "Look, there are familiar faces everywhere!"

"You're welcome!" Li Ding'an smiled, looked to the side, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Secretary Mi?"

Mi Shundong stretched out his hand: "Teacher Li, I just came here not long ago, and I am now working in the government!"

Ha, Lao Mi got promoted?
Before the Chinese New Year, Mi Shundong called and asked if I was free, as if he wanted to get together.

But he was too busy at that time, so he declined. Later, he also thought about whether Lao Mi had been transferred to Beijing.

really?

Mi Shundong held his hand and said, "Teacher Li, I am now in charge of science and technology, industry and information technology, investment promotion, and state-owned assets..."

Li Dingan was stunned again: Wow, what a coincidence?
Lingyun Group is a state-owned asset and is jointly supervised by the State Council and local governments.

The Ceramics Research Institute is of course a scientific research institution, and its industrial nature accounts for a very high proportion.

The subsequent final assembly, general logistics, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation, China Electronics Corporation, and even the civilian special porcelain production lines in the police and security fields will of course be the responsibility of the investment promotion department.

This means that Mi Shundong is responsible for all matters related to the implementation of all special ceramic civil projects.

He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

At the meeting last week, the director also said: If we can cooperate with local governments, then we will cooperate; if we can’t cooperate, then we won’t cooperate.

The implication is: there are many people queuing behind.

But from a personal perspective: who would want to travel to other places when they can stay close to home?

To be honest, I have dealt with many leaders, but the one I feel most comfortable with is Mi Shundong.

Mi Shundong was no expert in either archaeology or special porcelain, but he had one advantage: he never gave orders blindly, let alone interfered. Therefore, although it was the hardest time in Tongliao, with no equipment or transportation, and even nearly losing his life, Li Dingan felt the most relaxed.

This is enough!

"Secretary Mi, although the Special Ceramics Institute is not large, it involves many aspects, so I have to trouble you again!"

"No, Mr. Li, I should be the one to say this!" Mi Shundong smiled hurriedly, "It's still the same as before. No matter what you ask, just let us know. We will fully cooperate and provide good service!"

"You are too kind!"

"It should!"

The two of them were close and full of emotion, and the atmosphere was extremely good.

Secretary Tong was very pleased, and several leaders also smiled: Isn’t it said that this person is notoriously difficult to serve?

It seems that bringing Lao Mi here was the right choice.

Director Fu and Yu Sicheng looked at each other: It has only been two months since the news was released, and the local authorities have done enough homework.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Li Dingan could meet acquaintances everywhere?
But this is a good thing, which shows that the local government attaches great importance to it.

Of course, it is also worthy of attention.

The others looked at each other in confusion: Who is this?

You are in your twenties and have just started working, but you are standing among a bunch of leaders?
The director and Secretary Tong had just shaken hands when they started introducing him. Director Fu, Secretary Yu, several directors, and even several deputy leaders were all left aside?
But judging from their expressions, they all seem quite normal, and all the leaders appear to be happy to see the outcome?

Gradually, people behind started whispering to each other and asking about Li Dingan's background.

He is definitely not a high-level leader. His age is not right.

He is definitely not someone's nephew, because this is even more inappropriate for the occasion.

Those who knew the truth smiled and said nothing, while those who didn’t naturally became more and more curious.

In particular, several city leaders:

"Old Zhao, you have good eyesight, take a good look: is the person shaking hands with Secretary Tong Li Dingan?"

"It seems... a bit like that?"

The two leaders had only met once: two years ago, when Li Dingan, Lin Zhiyuan and the supervision team went to Baoding to handle the Xiling tomb robbery case.

But they only met briefly at that time, and I later found out that this was Li Ruying's son.

Later I found out: Wow, this guy is dating Secretary Yu’s daughter?

The impression is naturally deep.

"It's Li Ding'an!" Wu Qingshan, the former police chief and deputy mayor, and current senior official in the political and legal field, recognized him immediately. "Secretary Cheng, take a look too!"

Cheng Zhi squinted and looked at him: "Secretary, Mayor, it's Li Dingan!"

When Li Ding'an was assisting the police in handling the Xiling tomb robbery case, the person he dealt with the most was Wu Qingshan, followed by Cheng Zhi, so they could not be more certain.

But what did he do?
Like the moon surrounded by stars, she is surrounded by a bunch of big leaders?

They did know that Li Dingan and Secretary Yu's daughter were about to get engaged. But the problem was that the director first introduced Li Dingan to Secretary Tong, followed by Director Fu and Secretary Yu.

If it's a father-in-law and son-in-law, it can't be this order?
It shouldn't be in an occasion like this.

What’s even weirder is that it feels like this person is the protagonist of today’s reception?

Several people looked at each other, and finally stared at Mayor Zhao.

Mayor Zhao suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly took out his cell phone. Just as he was about to call Li Ruying, the leaders came up the stairs again in a crowd.

Several people hurriedly followed, and then the group filed into the conference room.

This is the usual procedure for higher-level units to inspect local areas: first hold a discussion, and then decide whether to hold a meeting depending on the situation.

According to convention: Lingyun Group is the first to inspect, and Lingyun Group is the main host. If the group has special requests, the local government will send people to cooperate.

But this time, the higher-ups specifically instructed us in advance that we must take it seriously, so the city sent people.

Li Ruying is now the Secretary General of the Municipal Government. Together with the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, they are the city's chief stewards. All large-scale receptions are under the responsibility of the two of them.

So, at this moment, the two of them are checking in the conference room with the two vice presidents of Lingyun Group to see if there is anything missing.

Seeing the leader coming in, several people instinctively retreated to the corner, but then Li Ruying widened his eyes: Li Dingan?

That's his own son, how could he admit his mistake?

One, two, three... In front are the two deputy secretaries-general leading the way, followed by Director Yang of the Supervisory Committee, and then Secretary Tong and Li Dingan.

After that came Director Fu, Yu Sicheng, and two deputy leaders.

The key point is that Director Tong held his hand and talked and laughed, and was extremely enthusiastic.

What did this kid do?

Li Ruying knew that Li Dingan would also come to this inspection, but this bastard said that he was in the expert group and was just a bystander throughout the whole process.

Why don't you just join the leader?

Secretary Tong kept pulling him, and he pulled very tightly. Li Dingan struggled several times but failed to get free. Secretary Tong clearly felt it, but he pretended not to know and just pulled him to the podium.

Li Dingan was embarrassed and helpless: "Secretary Tong, my seat is not up there!"

"I know!" Secretary Tong didn't care. "Just add a chair. Just sit next to me!"

Li Dingan’s eyelids twitched: How is that possible?

Today's meeting is a discussion. The leaders will talk first, and then the expert group will come in. If there is a situation that the leaders can't refuse or something that is difficult to say, then it will be handed over to the expert group.

As for those who are engaged in scientific research, they all know that if it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. And they are straightforward and say what they think.

So to put it bluntly: the expert group headed by him was specifically chosen to play the bad guy.

But what does it mean to put him on the agenda before even starting the discussion?
Li Ding'an even suspected that the local authorities had already found out that the regulatory committee had held a small meeting: the leaders were arguing first, and those who could not figure it out were all handed over to Li Ding'an.

So, it’s no use even if you pull me up?

Everything is based on technological research and everything is aimed at serving the military industry. Whether civilian production lines are built, whether investment is made, or even whether research is conducted is secondary.

So when it comes to refusing, Li Dingan will definitely not be vague at all.

It’s useless even if my biological father comes.

Just as he was thinking about his biological father, he saw his biological father. Li Dingan was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile: "Secretary Tong, let me say hello first!"

"Ah, did you run into someone you know again?"

Secretary Tong had a bewildered expression and let him go first: "Okay, remember to come up!"

No...are you afraid that I'll run away?

Li Dingan looked at the director, who sighed: The news of the small meeting of the Supervisory Committee must have leaked.

Otherwise, how could Li Dingan's father, who works in the city, come to be responsible for the reception work of Lingyun Group?
The news definitely didn't come from the Regulatory Commission, but most likely from one of the cooperating units, such as the General Communications Commission, the General Telecommunications Commission, or China Electronics. But it must be said that Old Tong is really omnipresent!

The director nodded again: "Go!"

Li Dingan smiled and walked over. Yu Sicheng had already shaken hands with Li Ruying.

When in-laws meet, it is natural to say hello.

It is even more natural for Li Ding'an, even if he entered the Great Hall, he is still his biological father.

He walked closer, waited for the two to finish their pleasantries, and then called out, "Dad!"

Li Ruying nodded: "It's okay, just do your thing!"

His tone was calm and his expression didn't reveal anything, but Li Dingan knew: Dad's heart must be bursting with curiosity, right?
Li Dingan was even more curious than him. He took the opportunity to glance at Yu Sicheng, then pointed behind him and asked: What's going on with Secretary Tong?
Yu Sicheng didn't say anything, just sighed softly, his expression was exactly the same as the director's.

Li Dingan knew immediately: there was a leak!
From this, it seems that Comrade Li Ruying may need to undergo ideological work.

But it was expected.

Li Dingan was about to leave after saying hello, but just as he turned around, Secretary Tong, who had already sat on the rostrum, stood up again: "Chief Engineer Li, this way!"

Look more closely: there is really a chair added next to it?
There is even a nameplate: Chief Engineer, placed next to Secretary Tong, and next to him are the deputy leaders.

The director sat opposite, followed by Director Fu, Yu Sicheng, and several bureau chiefs.

No... We haven't even started talking yet, and you want me to betray you?

Yu Sicheng smiled and said, "Secretary Tong's kindness is hard to refuse, go ahead!"

It means that whatever happens should be the same.

That's good!
He exhaled, went on stage, and smiled bitterly: "Secretary Tong, I'm young!"

What I mean is that I can't stand your flattery. Please don't scare me. "What's wrong with being young? Sit down!" Secretary Tong patted the back of the chair and looked down. "You and Secretary Yu both know Comrade Li Ruying?"

Looking at his curious and slightly surprised expression, Li Dingan didn't know how to complain.

You can even find out the content of the supervisory committee’s meeting, how could you not know that’s my father?

How else could he get here?
And as soon as we met, you said: This is our hometown, there are familiar faces everywhere...

He sighed: "Secretary Tong, that's my father!"

"Oh, I neglected it!" Secretary Tong pretended to be even more surprised. "Shundong, I leave it to you. First contact Comrade Li Ruying, then communicate with Lao Yuan and Lao Zhao from the city. Make sure to ensure the logistical support for Chief Engineer Li and the experts and seniors..."

"Okay secretary!"

Watching Mi Shundong leave the podium, Li Dingan became even more helpless: What kind of acting skill is this?

But before we even start to figure out what to do, we’re already starting to solve life problems?

The secretary handed over the speech manuscript. The meeting was about to begin. Li Dingan collected his thoughts...

Below the stage, the city leaders exchanged glances as they took their seats.

They were not mistaken, it was Li Dingan.

But, he was pulled onto the stage by Secretary Tong?
And it was pulled up hard?
No, today the Regulatory Commission just inspected Lingyun Group, the Special Ceramics Institute was established, and simultaneously discussed the project's implementation and production.

It was just a special porcelain institute, so even if they built a production line, how big could it be? So they thought that this was already a big deal, but they didn't expect that the leaders would pay more attention to it.

The key is the object of attention, why is it Li Dingan?
Shouldn’t it be Director Yang, Director Fu, and Secretary Yu?
Li Ruying was called over, but she was even more confused than them because she didn't know much more than them.

Chief Engineer...Which Chief Engineer?

The chief engineer can’t sit on the stage, and he sits next to the leader and next to Secretary Tong?

"Old Li, didn't Li Ding'an reveal anything to you?"

"Mayor, really not!" Li Ruying looked bewildered. "He just told me that he would accompany the expert group on the inspection this time, and he was just there to make a cameo appearance, so I didn't know that he was actually the chief engineer?"

It is indeed quite magical: there are so many experts sitting below, who is not of higher rank and more experienced than Li Dingan?
But they could see that Li Ruying was genuinely surprised and really didn't know.

So, Mr. Li, you have raised this son in vain. He is even wary of his own father?

Mayor Zhao pinched his chin and looked at the original secretary: "Secretary, we have to find a way to ask!"

We have to ask, because Secretary Tong’s behavior was so strange: not only did he pull Li Dingan onto the stage, he also pulled him to the upper row?
The key point is that the chief engineer’s nameplate was actually taken out from the secretary’s bag?
what does this mean?
The higher-ups had already made preparations, and they were specifically targeting Li Dingan. But they not only kept it a secret from Lingyun Group and the Regulatory Commission, but even from the city?

No, he should have kept it a secret from Li Ruying because he was afraid that he would tip off his son and his in-laws?

Several city leaders looked at Li Ruying with increasingly strange expressions.

Just as I was thinking about it and trying to figure out how to find out, Secretary Tong on the stage said something to Li Dingan and then glanced over here.

Then, the newly appointed Deputy Secretary Mi stepped down from the podium and walked straight towards this side.

The city leaders all stood up in unison: "Secretary Mi!"

"Secretary Yuan, Mayor Zhao, Secretary Li, we have something to discuss. Let's get in touch first!"

Several people understood immediately: what they were going to talk about next was most likely about Li Dingan.

Then, the three people followed Mi Shundong to the small conference room next door.

As soon as he sat down, Mi Shundong smiled and said, "Secretary-General Li, Teacher Li and I have known each other for a long time... During the Chinese New Year this year, I wanted to pay a visit, but Teacher Li kept saying he was busy, so I didn't find the opportunity!"

Li Ruying didn't know how to answer, so she just said, "Secretary Mi is always welcome!"

Mi Shundong took out a cigarette and handed one to each of them. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "Oh, by the way, Secretary Yu and I were classmates at the Party School!"

The three of them paused in unison: Why is Secretary Mi's way of introducing himself, and the order in which he did so, so weird?
But they are all smart people, and they will suddenly understand after a moment of change of mind.

He and Li Dingan knew each other very early, but how early could it be? Only in the first two years.

At that time, Mi Shundong was in Tongliao and was a bureau-level cadre. Although Li Ding'an was still in school, he worked part-time in the country and led a team to conduct archaeological excavations in Tongliao.

This must be how the two met.

But he said that he was planning to visit Li Dingan during the New Year?
It was definitely not because of Yu Sicheng. If it was just this relationship, he wouldn't have bothered to make a trip in person to wish Li Dingan a happy new year.

At that moment, the eyelids of the three people twitched slightly: the rumor was that Mi Shundong had made a further step forward, apparently because of the Qinglongshan project in Tongliao.

But he did not come to Hebei at that time, but Secretary Tong went to Beijing in person and specifically asked for that person?

This is what is said, but almost no one believes it because it is impossible for an archaeological and tourism project to get such high points.

But now?

Haha, Mi Shundong admitted it himself!
The key point is that Qinglong Mountain was discovered by Li Dingan, who also presided over its excavation and research.

If you think this way, it means that he was promoted because of Li Dingan?
This is certainly not all the factors, but it is definitely the main reason, otherwise Mi Shundong would not say so.

Another thought: It is rumored that several people in Inner Mongolia have moved up a level because of archaeological research projects?
Suddenly, the former secretary's eyes sparkled: "Vice Chairman Zheng, Secretary Yan, and League Leader Zhang from Inner Mongolia... Secretary Mi should know these people?"

According to gossip, these people are all related to the Qinglongshan ruins and the ancient city in the Hunshan Desert. But again, no one believed it before!

Because of a tourism and archaeological project, isn't that nonsense?

"Yes!" Mi Shundong nodded, then paused, "They are almost the same as me!"

What's almost the same?

What I mean is, it’s all related to Li Dingan?
But how is that possible?

Several people were stunned: Li Dingan dug up a spaceship in Qinglong Mountain and Hunshan Ancient City?

Of course there are no spaceships, but there are thousands of first-class cultural relics that can be regarded as treasures of provincial museums.

However, these are not enough, and even the Pi Tu and the Bronze Pillar, which are enough to subvert the historical and archaeological circles in China and abroad, are not enough.

Was it Li Dingan who brought Lin Ziliang back and even produced the Sixth Generation Porcelain?

This is enough, even if it is not enough.

For projects of this level, you can’t even get a number at the municipal level, and you may not be able to get it even if you fight hard at the provincial level. But whether you can get it or not is one thing, and whether you fight for it or not is another.

Therefore, those who had worked with Li Dingan, had a good relationship with him, and happened to be in more critical positions, all overcame the hurdle.

However, Secretary Tong had a wide network of contacts and was well-informed. While other places were still trying to figure out whether the news was true or not, he forcibly dug Mi Shundong back from Inner Mongolia.

He works best with Li Dingan, and is a classmate of Yu Sicheng... See, how suitable is that?
But Secretary Yuan and Mayor Zhao didn’t know so much. They were so shocked that they even forgot to smoke. They looked stunned and asked, “Secretary Mi, what project?”

"Special electric porcelain, transparent porcelain, laser porcelain... the level is very high, the Supervisory Commission is just the leader. The cooperative units of the Special Porcelain Institute to be established this time include: General Assembly, General Logistics, Shanghai Silicon, Harbin Ceramics, China Electronics, General Telecommunications, General Communications, and major military equipment research and production units... Among them are the 13th and 54th institutes in our city..."

Several people were shocked: these two institutes are not of high level, but they definitely belong to the first echelon in the domestic military industry. Although there are only three civilian subsidiaries under their umbrella in Baoding and they provide only a few jobs, only tens of thousands, the tax revenue they generate is very considerable.

But even so, there's no need for the leaders to go through so much trouble to bring Mi Shundong here, right?

Mi Shundong exhaled another puff of cigarette: "You should know that in the field of special porcelain, the application in military industry may only account for 10%, or even less. But related technologies and derivative technologies account for more than 90% in the civilian field. Let's take one of them, special electric porcelain: this time, six persons in charge were sent from the eleven research institutes of China Electronics Corporation..."

The former secretary’s heart started beating: China Power Group?

Doesn’t it just happen to belong to the Regulatory Commission?

“China Power is also going to build a factory?”

"Yes, because we have ready-made technology, we were the first to build a factory! According to Secretary Tong, the Power Group relies on the Special Ceramics Institute, and the first phase of investment alone has exceeded 10 billion..."

Several people were shocked: tens of billions?

How much employment and tax revenue can be created?

"According to Secretary Tong, this is just one of the projects. Once the Special Ceramics Institute is completed and the project is implemented, there may be many special application technologies that can be authorized in the civilian field..."

Mi Shundong paused for a moment, staring at Li Ruying with burning eyes: "It should be a lot!"

It’s a lot, it’s a lot, look at what I’m doing?
Li Ruying's hands trembled: "Did Li Ding'an research this?"

"This is top secret. Secretary Tong doesn't know much about it, so he doesn't know for now! But it's definitely related to him!"

Mi Shundong thought about it and said bluntly: "Otherwise, with Mr. Li's age and qualifications, it is impossible for him to be the chief engineer. Moreover, after the Special Ceramics Institute was built, he was also the director, and his level should be administrative level five!"

Yes, why should he be the director of the Special Ceramics Institute jointly established by several units?
Or administrative level five?

The former mayor looked at Li Ruying and said: Are my son and I on the same level?
And how old is Li Dingan?
"What about today's inspection?"

"The main thing is the location of the special porcelain. It's just a preliminary discussion with the higher-ups, so it's just a side event!"

Mi Shundong sighed again, "I came to inspect this time, firstly because Lingyun has a profound foundation, secondly because it has the 13th and 54th institutes, and thirdly because it is close to the capital...but these are only limited to the field of military research, and at most they can decide where the special porcelain institute will be built.

When it comes to building factories and production lines in the civilian sector, the city and the higher authorities do not actually have an advantage, especially compared to coastal cities such as Guangdong and Fujian... So Secretary Tong and the leaders attach great importance to it..."

How could such a scene happen if we don't take it seriously?

If he doesn't take it seriously, can Secretary Tong keep a close eye on Li Dingan like he's a criminal?

Mayor Zhao nodded, "Can Li Ding'an play a decisive role?"

"Of course!" Mi Shundong nodded, and smiled, looking at Li Ruying, "The Joint Research Institute was founded because of him, so Director Yang trusts him very much, and gave him full authority for this inspection. The most important thing is that the heads of various units, the experts and seniors who will participate in the research institute, all have great faith in him..."

How can I not be convinced?
More than half of them were completely subdued by Lin Ziliang.

The rest were still not convinced when they heard that what Lin Ziliang used to teach them was just a set of immature technology that he had researched in his spare time, and it was only the second generation?
The key point is, Lin Ziliang patted his chest and said: The second generation is shit, Li Dingan has systematic and verified third and fourth generation technologies that can be put into production at any time?
So, since they want to see what the third-generation technology looks like, they have to get involved.

As a result, on the first day of the expert group's establishment, the remaining half was also subdued by Li Dingan.

Although we did not see a complete set of technology and Li Dingan only reported a few sets of data, the experts have studied it for half a lifetime, so how could they not see: this is more than just the fourth generation?

This is the main reason.

There is a virtue in technical research: there is no order of learning, the one who is more accomplished is the teacher! No matter what level you are, no matter how big a leader you are, if you don't understand, just stand aside.

Therefore, this is not a question of whether Director Yang trusts Li Dingan or not, but a question of whether these leaders and experts are convinced or not.

Otherwise, even if a higher-level institution appoints him, Li Dingan won't be able to do a good job as the director...

The former secretary and Mayor Zhao finally understood: this inspection and the subsequent implementation of the project all had the final say under Li Dingan.

No wonder Secretary Tong has that attitude?

The two men were surprised and delighted, and looked at Li Ruying straight: It was worth it that after the previous secretary left, they worked together to help Li Ruying.

Director Li, it's time to repay your kindness...

Li Ruying's scalp went numb: That bastard was obviously prepared for this move.

Otherwise, why would he not tell his own father a single word?

But he was born and raised here, so he has to do his best no matter what.

Li Ruying nodded heavily: "Don't worry, leaders. I will do my best!" (End of this chapter)
