While in the elevator, Liu Qifeng continued: "I believe that the leadership team of your development zone is a group with combat effectiveness, but you should be more courageous, take more steps, and not only focus on the domestic , to be international and future-oriented. You don’t have to be burdened, and you have to work boldly, and report to me directly if you need any support. As long as it is helpful to economic growth, the organization will definitely support it.”

Li Xiaoning carefully understood Liu Qifeng's words, and he found that in this place, Liu Qifeng no longer called "Comrade Yuqiang", but directly said "the leadership team of the development zone", so the target of these words is naturally present All development zone officials are gone.Moreover, Liu Qifeng said that "the organization will definitely support it" while seemingly unintentionally "let the development zone report directly to him". The municipal party committee is in charge of cadres, the city government is in charge of the economy, and now Liu Qifeng actually wants to "go overboard on his behalf", why is this?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning suddenly realized that Liu Qifeng was actually taking the opportunity to win over Zhang Yuqiang, and on second thought, maybe Liu Qifeng deliberately did not bring Mao Qiushi when he came to the development zone to participate in the investment promotion dinner today.

In the past two months, Li Xiaoning has gradually learned about the situation in Binhai City. Like him, Liu Qifeng is a "newcomer" to Binhai official circles.The power cake here has already been allotted. Liu Qifeng has nothing to do with the title of leader, but alone, he is definitely no match for Mayor Xue Guoping.

Recruiting his own group of college students can be seen as the first step for Liu Qifeng to cultivate his own power, but after all, these people are too young, and it will be difficult for him to give Liu Qifeng substantial help for a long time. The method is to convert the power scattered in the hands of others into one's own power, so as to achieve a new balance of power in Binhai officialdom.

In a sense, there are only two methods of power control. One is to use thunderous means to perform surgical operations to deprive some people of their power; the other is to adjust the power structure by means of promotion, transfer, and normal retirement. , complete the new distribution of power, change the original power structure, and achieve a new power balance.Relatively speaking, the latter is more moderate, suitable for social stability, and more challenging the political wisdom of the controller.The former, a little carelessness, may lead to war, and it can be said that there will be endless troubles.

Liu Qifeng is undoubtedly a very thoughtful politician. He did not take the first method, which is too dangerous. The city unites all the forces that can be united to form a force that is enough to balance Xue Guoping.

Regarding the use of power, people tend to popularize it, vulgarize it, or even mystify it.The embodiment of popularization, describing power as a struggle, the once popular theory of class struggle is the product of its pinnacle.The embodiment of vulgarization, describing power as a trick, such as the so-called officialdom thick and black studies, is the intuitive expression of this concept.Mystification is extremely unmystical. The direct way of expressing this is the so-called theory of honest and corrupt officials.Simply classifying officials as clean or corrupt actually conceals the essence of officialdom.

What is the nature of officialdom?It is very simple to say, that is the balance of power.Officialdom is also the superstructure, and any building can only maintain stability if its internal structure is balanced, otherwise it will collapse and shatter.And this kind of balance is also a process of two-way selection. Liu Qifeng is choosing to win over and cultivate his own power, so why aren't other people in Binhai City's officialdom making choices?After all, Liu Qifeng is the officially recognized supreme leader of Binhai City.

Before Li Xiaoning had time to think deeply, the elevator stopped with a "ding".When everyone surrounded Liu Qifeng and walked in, the banquet hall had already set up a banquet with more than a dozen tables.

As soon as Liu Qifeng came in, everyone present stood up at the same time, some of them came to say hello to Liu Qifeng, while others thought that it was not their turn to step forward on this occasion, so they were very self-aware. He didn't come over, but looked at the eyes of those who followed Liu Qifeng with envy.

Zhang Yuqiang introduced Liu Qifeng one by one. With a faint smile on his face, Liu Qifeng nodded lightly to everyone who came to say hello, but he didn't stop on his feet.Looking at the faces full of desire, Li Xiaoning secretly sighed in his heart, these people who have worked so hard to say hello to Liu Qifeng don't know how many Liu Qifeng will remember when he wakes up tomorrow morning, but all living beings are still like Like a stinky fly, he is willing to flatter and cling to the powerful or to pursue money and women...

After entering the hall, Li Xiaoning suddenly realized something, and his feet were a little dull.The Huaxia Kingdom is a country that pays great attention to etiquette. On such occasions, the number of seats is very particular.Of course, Liu Qifeng is easy to say, he is the biggest leader today, and he must be the chief at the first table. Zhang Yuqiang takes the main leaders of the four teams of the development zone to sit with him, and the remaining leaders of the development zone are the chiefs who sit at other tables separately. .Li Xiaoning felt embarrassed because he didn't know where he should sit, or whether he was qualified to sit there.

Liu Qifeng had already sat down at the head of the first table, and Zhang Yuqiang and others were about to sit down, but Liu Qifeng suddenly turned around and said to Li Xiaoning: "Xiao Li, you can sit next to me today, and it will be convenient for you to communicate with the leaders. Communication. How is it? Comrade Yu Qiang has no objections?"

Liu Qifeng's seemingly random words shocked everyone present. No one could tell that he was paving the way for the "Little Li" he was talking about. Young people regretted their neglect.Even Zhang Yuqiang felt sorry for himself secretly. In fact, when Liu Qifeng got out of the car, he already realized that it was not Mao Qiushi who was following Liu Qifeng, but he didn't think deeply about it. He thought it was Mao Qiushi who was sick, so he temporarily replaced him. Yes, now it seems that this is not the case at all. This young man must be the one Liu Qifeng wants to focus on training, and it may even be possible to replace Mao Qiushi.But I don't even know what this "Xiao Li" is called until now. Isn't this the empress dowager's awareness?

Li Xiaoning didn't know that the officials of the development zone who were present had already moved a lot of thoughts, but he also knew very well that Liu Qifeng was helping him. He smiled and said, "Hello, leaders, my name is Li Xiaoning, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future!" Li Xiaoning was talking about the leaders, but he was actually looking at Zhang Yuqiang, because he knew very well that there were too many people present today, and it was very difficult for him to take care of him. It's hard to cover everything. Instead of throwing a net indiscriminately, it's better to make key breakthroughs. Once Zhang Yuqiang is settled, everything else is easy to talk about.

"Secretary Li, welcome to our development zone. I want to drink a few more glasses today!" Zhang Yuqiang is worthy of being a veteran in the officialdom. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Xiaoning.In just two sentences, he used the title "brother", and looked at Li Xiaoning with a little more affection in his eyes.By doing this, he was not only expressing his intention to win over to Li Xiaoning, but also showing his favor to Liu Qifeng, showing that he valued the person Liu Qifeng liked very much.

"Secretary Zhang is being polite!" Li Xiaoning replied with a smile neither humble nor overbearing. He knew very well that Zhang Yuqiang could call him brother and brother, but he couldn't be so "big or small".As for Zhang Yuqiang's extended hand, he didn't shake it.This is because Liu Qifeng was sitting next to him, and he shook hands with the secretary of the district committee. Would the district chief shake hands?The head of the district holds it, but the deputy secretary, the deputy head of the district, and the director of the National People's Congress hold it?Holding it all the way like this, it gives people the feeling that he is no longer the leader?If this hand is really held, maybe he will be beaten back to his original shape before he returns to Binhai.He still knows this measure.So he just made a gesture of please sit down and said, "Secretary Zhang, please sit down."

After everyone was seated, District Chief Zhao Botao's face turned green, because his seat had already been taken by someone else, and that person was Li Xiaoning, who was handpicked by Municipal Party Secretary Liu Qifeng!

The seats were arranged in advance. Zhang Yuqiang sat on the right of Liu Qifeng, he sat on the left of Liu Qifeng, and then the other members of the Standing Committee and the leaders of the National People's Congress and the Political Consultative Conference were arranged in sequence. But now Li Xiaoning took his seat, and the others Maybe they didn't react for a while, and they all sat down, so there was no room for Zhao Botao!

Zhao Botao stood by the table, he didn't know what to say, so he was a little embarrassed.

Only then did the people present realize this, and Yan Zhiqing, the deputy secretary, stood up knowingly and vacated his seat for Zhao Botao to sit in. sound.Yang Xu, member of the Standing Committee of the district committee and director of the district committee office, hurriedly asked the waiter to add chairs and tableware.

"Forget it, forget it, it's the same when I'm sitting here!" Zhao Botao said flatly, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit down on the chair that the waiter had just brought over.

Yang Xu knew that Zhao Botao was getting emotional, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, "District Chief Zhao, we still have to sit in the middle!"

Zhao Botao thought to himself: Since you all understand in your heart, what did you do earlier?At this point, Zhao Botao could not complain to anyone, nor was he willing to sit in a side seat, so he had to stand up and move over. There was a burst of "crash", a bit like a latecomer looking for a seat in a movie theater, naturally very uncomfortable .

Zhang Yuqiang was also very uncomfortable. Zhao Botao had always been at odds with him, but he didn't expect that Zhao Botao's temper tantrum would come before the secretary of the municipal party committee. Isn't this a slap in the face?He secretly took a look at Liu Qifeng's face, and found that he didn't mean to be unhappy, so he was relieved.
