Jagged City - Chapter 160 A Flower in the Military Region

In the study, Lin Tao and Xiao Xiao sat opposite each other, Xiao Xiao wrinkled her lovely nose and said, "Do I still have to do so much work when I go to the northwest?"

"Yes, wife, besides the law firm, you are also a shareholder of Junlian Group. Of course, you are responsible for supervising the chain stores that will open soon, and the small electronics factory established by the group in Xiliang has already purchased equipment. After training the staff and accepting the order, it will start production soon, and you also need to pay attention. ╞ ╡In addition, the training base of the international security company next to the electronics factory is under construction, and it is under your name. Although there are three shareholders, but You are mainly in charge. Another thing is that the Tello Group will set up a Mexican agricultural and sideline product fruit import and export company in the northwest, and our Junlian Company will be responsible for opening up sales channels and acquisitions. These are the materials." Lin Tao took out the information an inch later, Some belonged to the security company, some belonged to the electronics factory, and some belonged to the Tello Group—— Xiao Xiao’s face wrinkled into a ball, and she said aggrievedly:

"With so much work, do I still have time to go shopping, do I still have time to amuse my children, and——you really have the heart, are you a pickpocket?"

"Hehe, it's just too much. Why don't you have the people below? You are mainly an inspector. I have more than a dozen jobs in charge, but there are directors of various bureaus under me, so it's good to grasp the general direction. For example, chain stores, you Just look at the financial statements every month, and the electronics factory cares about production and sales—and so on. Sometimes it may not take much time, and it can be solved at home, and it’s enough to go to various places once in a while. Don’t you think it’s very simple?”

"Hearing what you said, it's very easy. Those who can do more work, I'm still capable of doing these jobs." Xiao Xiao said with a little complacency.

"However, the work of the international security company will become more and more complex. After one year, I'm afraid you won't have the energy to take charge of this law firm. At that time—" Lin Tao meant the law firm I can't do the work, because the international security company will definitely be very busy, and many things are confidential.

"I know that although the working environment in this law firm is good, it is better to work for others than for us." Although Xiao Xiao said this, Lin Tao knew that she loved this job very much.

Lin Tao said with a smile: "In the future, the development of the international security company may exceed your imagination. It needs to cooperate with a law firm, and the company will even directly manage an international law firm."

"really?"

"Of course, if you take a good look at the development direction of the security company, you will know that these documents are confidential. Except for the ones that need to be kept in the safe, the rest of them that you have seen must be destroyed. You should take a good look at the confidentiality regulations. In addition, your security is very high. Important, besides Xiao Guan, there will be three to five people protecting you, and Xiao Guan will be in charge of all of them. In the future, Xiao Guan will help you handle some matters of the security company."

"Cut, you guy sent someone to watch me, heh heh, I will deal with you in the same way in the future, to control your every move, if you - heh heh, I will know anytime." Xiao Xiao said to Lin Taohuang Said with a fist.Lin Tao started to smirk, and said to himself, isn't this accompanied by a stone hitting his own foot.

"Look at what you said, I'm not that kind of person, and besides, I don't have enough time to serve you alone, how can I waste any extra time on other people!" Lin Tao said lustfully, pulling Xiao Xiao's feet from the soft slippers Take it out and knead it for massage.Xiao Xiao hummed in comfort, and said with peach blossoms in her eyes: "As long as the old lady you serve is happy, I will consider letting you go."

"Yes, look at it." Lin Tao passed the heat through more than 20 acupoints under Xiao Xiao's feet, and Xiao Xiao half-lyed on the sofa to enjoy it.

Since Lin Tao came to Northwest Province with her children, every weekend, Lin Tao would return to the villa in the military region for two days, sometimes four or five times a week. Anyway, it was an hour and a half away, not too far away.

Lin Tao has been in Xiliang for three months, and has gradually adapted to the various tasks in charge. Only then has he truly stepped into Xiliang's officialdom as a master, and then found that the government's work is so complicated that sometimes there is nowhere to be powerful. So, punching the empty space makes people very helpless.Although Xiliang has introduced more than a dozen enterprises, it is far from enough for a city. Tello Group finally signed contracts with Xiliang Government and Xiguan County Government to register agricultural and sideline products import and export companies, and Tello Group Northwest Meat The company started the construction of a meat joint factory, as well as a cattle and sheep farm.We are planning a cooperative farming plan between the company and farmers, but to form a super-large-scale farming, we need extensive publicity and a process for farmers to generate trust, which cannot be completed in one or two years.

The work Lin Tao is in charge of includes rural agriculture and how to improve rural transportation. In the past two days, people from the four counties have gone to the Finance Bureau to apply for road construction fees, but Xiliang's finances are still stretched.The director of the Finance Bureau came to Lin Tao to cry for poverty, saying that people from the transportation bureaus of various counties blocked his house and refused to let him go to work.Beating and scolding were useless, and the bureau chief was pissed off.

"Mayor Lin, in fact, the Provincial Communications Department allocates special funds every year, but it can't take care of fifteen prefecture-level cities, but there must be three or five cities that will take the lead every year." The director rolled his eyes and said.

"Won't the director of the Transportation Bureau know about this?"

"Ahem, of course he knows it, it's just that he can't get it. Many things are actually not shy now. No matter the city or county, every day before the Spring Festival, all departments have to go to the higher-level department to have a group worship. More people who go to Beijing , just a piece of cake, if you share it, of course it will be given to the most filial child. Our financial departments in Xiliang, even if they pay tribute to their superiors, can't give much, which is somewhat shabby. The department doesn't like it very much." The bureau chief said helplessly.

"So that's it." Lin Tao nodded. His father-in-law hadn't talked to him about this matter, so he seemed to let him ponder it slowly.This group worship has become an official practice. It is no wonder that there are many people who are gifted. The gift-giving between government departments is a gray area, and it is not considered corruption or bribery.What the bureau chief said is indeed reasonable, and he also respects the superior department. If one city sends a carload of rice and white noodles, the other city sends a pair of Spring Festival couplets and two polite words of New Year's greetings.It is obvious who the earmarked money falls to!

The bureau chief retreated, and Lin Tao pinned his finger on the table, trying to figure out who to turn to. Although the governor and secretary of the provincial party committee had dinner with him in the province, these two bosses were looking at Commander Chen's face.If you look for it rashly, I'm afraid it will make a joke.By the way, isn't Zhao Sifang's daughter-in-law a deputy director of the Provincial Propaganda Department?See what connections she has, and help me get acquainted with people from the Provincial Department of Communications.But this matter can't be done by ourselves, after all, this matter is a matter of the Transportation Bureau. Could it be that Wu Jianhao has been the director of the Bureau for many years and has nothing to do with the Transportation Department? No one will believe this!The development of Xiliang is inseparable from transportation, but Xiliang is backward, and the area is very large, with strong wind and sand, and the cost of road maintenance is high. Therefore, there are very few third-class roads leading to villages and towns. If you want to reach every village in the southeast, you must Not yet.

Lin Tao ordered Fang Liang to call the magistrates of each county and the director of the transportation bureau to hold a meeting on road construction in Xiliang.On the one hand, they apply for special funds from higher authorities, and on the other hand, the counties and districts raise funds by themselves.With regard to these two points, it is mainly to let the leaders of the counties and districts and the people in the transportation bureau find a way to raise funds themselves.

Although everyone was discussing in low voices, there was basically nothing they could do. One was getting poorer than the other, and the banks did not give loans, and received financial subsidies every year. Such local banks dare not invest money.

Lin Tao asked by name, "Director Vanness Wu, do you have any suggestions?"

Wu Jianhao frowned and said: "Mayor Lin, the master of the traffic department doesn't want to see us in Xiliang, the traffic and road funds that have to be allocated can be delayed for a year and a half, and other funds don't even have to think about it. You are also aware of the finances of the Northwest, the director ran away when he saw me!"

Everyone almost laughed out loud.Lin Tao didn't have a good impression of Director Wu. Just hearing this sentence, he knew that this person was not smooth and had little ability.Lin Tao glanced at the other people, and they all avoided, just in time to see Liu Ming's ghostly look.Although Liu Ming was naughty, he had the ability to handle affairs. Lin Tao's principle of employing people was that the mediocre would go down and the capable would go up.

"Liu Ming, what can you do?"

"This—there is a way, but it may not work?" Liu Ming said somewhat unnaturally.

"Speak out, everyone discuss it, it doesn't matter if you are wrong, the key is to have an idea."

"Well, that - the rural fields are not taxed now, but subsidized instead, which not only reduces the burden, but also stimulates the enthusiasm of the farmers. Although Xiliang is poor, the income of the farmers is also increasing a little bit. Regarding the individual Rural road construction can raise part of the road construction funds from farmers. After all, this will benefit future generations. I don’t think farmers will react excessively when building roads in front of their own doors. This fund needs to be allocated by the city and county finances to let the townships If we can do things on our own, since we can’t fully develop them, it’s better for capable villages to lay them first, at least they can play a leading role, and other towns will also rack their brains to find a way. In addition, the investment in provincial and county roads is a large share. Looking for large businessmen to invest, our government can repay tolls every year. The specific cooperation method needs to be studied in detail. If there is an investor, I think the bank will relax the conditions, and our government can also borrow from the bank. In addition, if we can Get some special funds from the Provincial Communications Department, and the county and district finances will be squeezed again, and the road construction will be ready."

"Major Liu, if you have the ability to get special funds from the Transportation Department, I will let Xian take care of it." Wu Jianhao said in a tone-deaf manner.Liu Ming smiled awkwardly: "You, Director Wu, can't do anything. What can I do? I'm just talking."

Lin Tao's face was a little gloomy. He felt that Wu Jianhao was very hateful. He discouraged the enthusiasm of others when he couldn't do it himself. It seemed that this position should be replaced by someone else.The few points that Liu Ming said are very constructive.

"Liu Ming's opinion is very good. This kind of thing requires everyone's collective wisdom and efforts. Who else has a way? He can boldly raise it. We can correct mistakes and don't be burdened."

Ouyang Qing said: "County Liu has a very good idea. I can try to communicate with the Tello Group. It would be great if they are interested."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ouyang Qing with envy, what a political achievement it is for a large international consortium to settle in Xiguan, and the city government issued a new document on investment promotion incentives, but if the investment in fixed assets is 1000 million, it will reward 20.The first phase of the investment of the Telo Group was [-] million US dollars, and that was a commission of [-] US dollars. It was like getting rich overnight!The heads of all counties and districts are very envious and jealous.Some viciously thought whether this Ouyang Qing slept with a foreigner, or how could he attract such a large investment.

Only Ouyang Qing knows this matter best. It is Lin Tao's face that Troy can come to the northwest, but Trolo does see that Ouyang Qing's plan will bring huge benefits, because the beef and mutton can be exported to South Korea and Japan, and the profits are very rich. .Although businessmen also pay attention to affection, they value benefits more.

"Okay, let's talk about this matter first, you go back and wait for the news. Liu Ming, Zhao Jun, Ouyang Qing stay, and the others can go."

When everyone heard that the deputy mayor left these three people behind, they felt a little regretful and said, why didn't I fall into the eyes of Mayor Lin?

Lin Tao asked Liu Ming to go to the secretariat to sort out the opinions just now and form a feasibility report, which Lin Tao will present at the Standing Committee.As for leaving Ouyang Qing and Zhao Jun, they asked about the investment and construction of factories by Tello Group and ** Company. In addition, Lin Tao wanted them to get in touch with two big companies. These two companies, one of which is owned by Jin Zhenai and the other is owned by Tello, must be contacted through Lin Tao. Ouyang Qing and Zhao Jun are just running errands.But Lin Tao believes that Ouyang Qing's ability will make the negotiation easier.

The next day, Lin Tao took Liu Ming's report and submitted it to the Standing Committee for discussion.All members of the Standing Committee strongly agree with road construction, which is beneficial to the country and the people.And it is very active, because if you invest in road construction, there will be a lot of projects, and if you use your power to do some road projects, the returns will be very rich.Therefore, this proposal was unanimously approved, and Mayor Xu was even more excited. Before retiring, Xiliang's investment promotion made him very famous. If he can complete the road construction, it will be perfect.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Tao suddenly said: "Someone must be responsible for such a large project. I suggest that Liu Ming of Huokou County be appointed as the director of the Municipal Transportation Bureau. transferred to another position.”

The personnel change proposed by Lin Tao did not greet anyone in advance, which seemed very abrupt, and everyone's eyes turned to Mayor Xu.It turned out that Wu Jianhao was also transferred from the army, and was promoted by Mayor Xu.Although Wu Jianhao has been unfavorable in recent years, but looking at Lao Xu's face, no one dared to touch Wu Jianhao.The members of the Standing Committee speculated whether it was Lin Tao who had a conflict with Mayor Xu. Everyone's eyes are sharp. Although Lin Tao has not been here for a long time, Mayor Xu has always supported Lin Tao.

Mayor Xu's heart skipped a beat, and his face changed slightly, but he knew that Lin Tao was right about the matter and not about the person, and he didn't know the relationship between himself and Wu Jianhao.Lin Tao is a person who does practical things. Don't you want to support Lin Tao? Then support him to the end. Vanness Wu has the same personality as himself. They are both stinky and hard stones in the latrine.It seems that such people are not only unable to develop the economy, but have become an obstacle to the development of Xiliang. A new era has arrived, and those who cannot keep up with the trend of thought will be eliminated by history.Thinking of this, Mayor Xu raised his head and said, "I agree with Mayor Lin's proposal. This report was proposed by Liu Ming. He is very intelligent. He is the executive deputy county magistrate and has the ability to control the overall situation. I think Liu Ming It is very suitable to be the director of the Transportation Bureau. Comrade Wu Jianhao has no credit but hard work, I think he can be transferred to the municipal party school as the vice principal."

The mayor and the executive deputy mayor are fine. These people still want to get some benefits from the road construction, so no one objected.That afternoon, Vanness Wu left the traffic bureau with a look of grief and indignation, while Mayor Xu asked Vanness Wu for a drink to comfort him.After Lin Tao learned of this, he felt a little guilty. The mayor Xu did the work for him, and he felt a little sorry in terms of human relations.So Lin Tao called Director Gao of the Education Bureau and asked him to find a way to transfer Lao Xu's daughter back to Xiliang.

After the Standing Committee, Mayor Xu held the mayor's office meeting non-stop, calling all county party committee secretaries and county heads to preach the great significance of Xiliang's transportation development. The leading groups of all counties and districts must be united. The most important work of the day.Those who are unfavorable in handling affairs and obstructing the construction of road traffic will be laid off.Once it's done, it's a great achievement.Old Xu brought sweet dates with a big stick, which made the heads of all counties and districts tense up.Immediately after returning, a township chief meeting was held to study the construction of rural roads.

The night before Liu Ming became the director of the Xiliang City Transportation Bureau, he came to Lin Tao's residence.Bring two boxes of Moutai, two boxes of Zhonghua, and three boxes of lamb chops.

"Mayor Lin, thank you for your cultivation. I, Liu Ming, will definitely be willing to do it." Standing opposite Lin Tao, Liu Ming said,

Lin Tao signaled Liu Ming to sit down and talk: "The reason why I proposed you to be the director of the Transportation Bureau is because I think you have the ability. I hope you can do this job well and improve Xiliang's transportation construction."

"Mayor Lin, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and do my best." Liu Ming stood up again and promised.

Lin Tao said solemnly: "For the construction of Daxing Highway in Xiliang, many contractors will definitely come here. I don't want to hear about people taking bribes and building bean curd projects. You were in Huokou County before. I don't know if it is How to work, but here you must ensure the openness and transparency of road construction, and scientific bidding. Also, you should go to the traffic department immediately, and you can raise the standard for entertaining superiors, but you can’t do anything out of the ordinary. You can master this matter The scale is fine. Call me again if you encounter resistance."

"Mayor Lin, don't worry. I will definitely do a good job of self-supervision and strictly control the quality of road construction."

"Well, do it well. Xiliang will remember you if you do this important matter well. You will take up the post in the bureau tomorrow. If you have any difficulties, you must communicate in time. You must unite with your comrades and get in touch as soon as possible. Only by controlling the overall situation can the work be carried out smoothly. .”

"Yes, I understand!"

"By the way, it's not too late. Go to Mayor Xu's house and take half of the alcoholic mutton. If Mayor Xu scolds you, just tell me to give it to you." Lin Tao laughed.

"This—" Liu Mingxin said, he took it back instead of giving it away.

"This is an order. The first time you give me something, I will accept it. If you take cigarettes and alcohol in the future, you will not use it."

"Yes, Mayor Lin, then I'll take my leave, you can rest!" Liu Ming resigned, and Lin Tao asked Xiao Qin to move half of the things back into Liu Ming's car.Liu Ming disappeared into the night with emotion.

The first to fifth floors of Lin Tao's unit have been bought. The fifth floor belongs to Lin Tao personally. The eight houses on the first to fourth floors are the property of Bureau 15. This is Lin Tao's temporary Bureau 15, but there are 15 people in three special teams. They were all drawn from Wang Han. In addition to protecting Lin Tao, they were also Lin Tao's first team to deal with the Knife Club. Lin Tao wondered whether to get these [-] people into the eleventh round, this kind of thing that poached Wang Han's corner Isn't it a bit unreasonable.Lin Tao asked Xiao Qin to move the wine and a box of lamb chops to the second floor. The second floor is a special kitchen and dining room for [-] people. It is in charge of a middle-aged couple. This couple was also transferred from the Yinhai special brigade. It's very reliable, and it cooks pretty good meals.

"Old Wang, I'm here to bring you food and drink." Lin Tao and Xiao Qin stood at the door and shouted into the camera and the communicator.

The door opened, Lao Wang grinned and raised his forehead, and said with a smile: "Why does the chief subsidize the food himself? Our food is pretty good—tsk tsk, this lamb chop is really good. There is also Moutai! The old woman is not good enough." handle."

Lao Wang took the Moutai box from Lin Tao's hand, and called his wife to help. Lao Wang's daughter-in-law is half-mature, but she still has charm. Although these special forces faced the enemy one by one, they were often eaten by Lao Wang's wife. Tofu, being pinched or something, made this group of good guys blush.

"Ah, the chief has come down in person. Chief Lin is really approachable. At first, Lao Wang and I thought we would be sent to Xiliang, but we didn't expect to come here to enjoy the blessings." The old Wang's wife smiled and took Xiao Qin's hand. The box in the bag not only scratched Xiao Qin's hand, but also gave him a wink.This made Xiao Qin very embarrassed in front of Lin Tao.

Lin Tao looked at it and laughed in his heart, this Mrs. Wang is really a wonderful person.Lin Tao said: "It's all those boys. After eating Mrs. Wang's food, they can't get used to Xiliang's food. They begged me to transfer you two here."

Mrs. Wang moved the things into the storage room, wiped her hands and said with a smile: "Those little guys have a conscience. When I'm with them young people, I don't even feel that I'm getting old."

"In this house, the living room has been turned into a dining room, and the guest room has been turned into a warehouse. Your living space is very small. You might as well choose another house to live in. Anyway, there are still two vacant houses."

"How dare you—"

"Chief, don't be polite to my wife, this lady will just follow the pole, the two of us live well, it's very convenient." Old Wang interrupted his wife.

"You ramming goods, the chief has already said——"

"Sister-in-law Wang! What can I do for supper? Heizi and the others are coming back soon." The face of Wang Dali, a team member on duty on the first floor, appeared on a monitor in the living room.

"The donkey whip Wang Ba Tang made, I guarantee it will make your beast blood boil!" Aunt Wang smiled at the monitor.

"Prodigal girls, the chief is here, what are you doing?" Old Wang said loudly.

"Is the chief in the restaurant?" Wang Dali was a little terrified, and quickly turned off the intercom in fright.

Mrs. Wang smiled indifferently and said, "You old man, I just want to eat some of their small tofu. It tastes like Shanxi vinegar, with a sour taste."

"Hey, Chief, I made you laugh. My daughter-in-law is such a bear. My fame in the first life is ruined in her hands." Old Wang took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Tao, and lit Lin Tao with a lighter.Lao Wang's cigarettes are basically filial to the team members, and the lighters are still gold-plated, which is of higher grade than Lin Tao's.

Mrs. Wang poured tea for Lin Tao and said, "You're just a guy with a big head and a thick neck. You have a worldly reputation. My old lady was a flower in the military area back then. Forget it, I fell into your cesspit."

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she sneered and laughed, and Lin Tao also smiled. These two couples are really good friends.Wang Jinqiang's forehead lines became deeper, and he said with a smile: "I violated the discipline back then, and treated you like a boss every day, so you can just smile secretly, if you were not so greedy back then, you were caught by the boss The swan that went up is missing a leg, and it's not going to take me out of the stewardship."

"Bah bah, I was framed by you back then. Hey, me, I don't know how many people chased and blocked me back then. If it weren't for your habitual mouth, I wouldn't even have half an eyelid for you."

Lin Tao and Xiao Qin finally laughed out loud, their love is really full of jokes!Lin Tao seems to have seen Mrs. Wang's lovely and gluttonous appearance back then, while Lao Wang was honest and treacherous, defeating many powerful enemies with resourcefulness, making Mrs. Wang unable to extricate herself.
