Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 714: Cheating a Power Plant

Time flies and the three-day inspection is coming to an end.

The Wenshan Municipal Government once again held a grand farewell party, the standard of which was even higher than the welcoming banquet.

There were more than fifty tables set up, filling the "Rongding Hall" and "Hongyun Hall" of Wenshan International Hotel.

Even the wine on the table was changed from "Dragon Soaring Across the Seas" to the higher-level "Dragon Soaring and Tiger Leaping".

This item alone adds more than three thousand yuan to the price of a bottle.

In response to this corrupt behavior, the reporters tacitly turned off their cameras because the Wenshan Municipal Government had arranged a banquet for them and prepared red envelopes.

No one is a fool. As long as there is food and benefits, who would offend others and expose themselves?

Such high standards are of course related to Qi Tongwei.

In addition to letting Tian Fengyi off the hook at the welcoming banquet and earning the favor of everyone in Wenshan, the two sides also negotiated several cooperation projects, which also brought many tangible benefits to Wenshan.

First, the coal sales that had been suspended for several months were reopened, and Wenshan gained another stable source of income.

Moreover, this income is not like the previous ones, where people paid with real money.

In addition to food, Beishan also purchases a lot of food. Excluding its own production, the annual gap reaches 500,000 tons, which is also an astronomical figure.

Of course, the price given by Wenshan is also very good. At least there is no problem in maintaining the price at a 2% increase.

Even some Wenshan cadres have made plans to become a subsidiary city of Beishan, and want to catch the train of Beishan that is about to depart and realize their dream of speeding along.

Just like several cities in the south, they have benefited from the influence of Pingzhou and Ningchuan and have quickly become wealthy cities.

During the meal, Tian Fengyi frequently toasted Qi Tongwei to thank him for the benefits he brought.

"Tongwei, you are so kind. With your support, my power plant can be expanded as soon as possible."

Tian Fengyi was still thinking that a large amount of funds would be coming in soon, which would allow him to complete the task in North China, expand the power plant, and become the secretary of the municipal party committee. However, he didn't know that Qi Tongwei had already set his sights on his power plant.

"Hey, let's help each other and make progress together." Qi Tongwei said with a smile: "Old Tian, ​​to be honest, I also want to invest in your power plant."

Tian Fengyi misunderstood for a moment and leaned towards Qi Tongwei. In a voice that only they could hear, he said, "I'm afraid it won't work. This power plant is state-owned. It would be difficult for a private investor to invest in it. But I can find a way to make a profit on the price difference."

Qi Tongwei waved his hand and explained, "I'm saying, in the name of the government, how about our two cities jointly building the largest power plant north of the Han River?"

“The largest power plant?”

"Yes, we should learn from Ningchuan City in the south. We in the north can't fall behind, right?"

Tian Fengyi sighed: "I want to build it too, but...we in Wenshan don't have that much strength."

"You don't have it, but I do. To be honest, our city is already planning to build one, and it's going to be even bigger than Ningchuan."

Tian Fengyi was stunned. Didn't they say they would invest in Wenshan? Why would they build one in Beishan? Who was investing in whom?

"I've inquired, and your facility is old and not advanced enough. Even if you expand it, it won't achieve the desired effect. Why don't we join forces?"

Tian Fengyi asked: "You mean... I want to invest in your Beishan!"

Qi Tongwei laughed and said: "We are all family, it doesn't matter who invests."

Tian Fengyi said anxiously, "Tongwei, I can agree to anything except this. This concerns the economic development of Wenshan. If I invest in you and it squeezes out my power plant, the people of Wenshan will curse me to death."

"What's the point of squeezing it out? You can keep the one in Wenshan, but you definitely can't expand it because it's unnecessary."

Tian Fengyi became even more anxious. "That's even more impossible. The expansion plan was already decided a long time ago. Secretary Yu calls me every few days. Not to mention not expanding, if I don't start construction, he will be executed with tears."

Qi Tongwei said with a smile: "Old Tian, ​​don't be impatient. Just listen to my analysis first. If you still insist after listening, I will not talk to you at all."

Tian Fengyi finally suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"You know the current situation with power plants, so it's not surprising to hear that they're high-voltage lines. Internal references are constantly being called for to stop them. Although there are no explicit regulations, it's still controversial.

If we build two power plants in succession in the north and the central government finds out, we might be punished.

But I'm confident that this won't happen to me. You know the specific reason. Beishan is a national heavy industrial city. If it wants to revitalize itself, this power plant is urgently needed."

Tian Fengyi interrupted, "If you need it urgently, we in Wenshan can supply you." He suddenly laughed again, "Tongwei, you reminded me, what do you mean by building two power plants in a row? We in Wenshan are just expanding." He changed his words and said, "To be more precise, we are increasing production capacity.

Even if the higher-ups knew about this, we'd still have something to say. It's you, Tongwei, who should be careful. Building a power plant at this time, especially one on a large scale, could be a real problem if you get caught."

As he spoke, he did not forget to pick up the wine glass and drink a glass happily.

Qi Tongwei also laughed, "What's the problem? Have you forgotten? What am I? A fire captain.

If I want to put out the fire, I need water from above.

Not to mention a power plant, as long as there is one in the nearby city, no one would dare to say anything even if I suck their blood.

You've heard of the "Strengthening the Provincial Capital" plan, but can't the higher-ups allow me to implement a "Strengthening the North Mountain" plan?

When Tian Fengyi heard this, he was completely stunned.

It's fucking true. Wasn't Qi Tongwei coordinated from above? How could the support be weak?

The higher-ups support him, the provincial party committee supports him, and Secretary Yu also supports him. If he insists on going ahead with the project, no one can stop him, and his power plant may even be shut down.

Isn’t that what the plan to strengthen provincial capitals is all about?

There's really no way to reason with this.

Tian Fengyi couldn't drink any more, so he put down his glass and said, "Tongwei, aren't you harming me?

If this power plant collapsed during my term, the people would curse me to death.

You just want electricity, right? Why don't you just stop building it? I'll give you a batch of electricity every year, how about that?" Finally, he added, "Free! Free! How about that!"

Qi Tongwei shook his head, his face serious, "Old Tian, ​​I'm not doing this for electricity, or to take advantage of you.

I said, I am the fire captain, and you are well aware of the duties of a fire captain.

Revitalizing Beishan is my mission, so I sincerely invite you to cooperate. Let's invest our capital and work together. "After a pause, he said:

"I heard that Secretary Yu has always wanted to build our northern central axis, and that he wants our Beishan, Wenshan, and Tianzhou to form an iron triangle that radiates throughout the north.

This is just a beginning. Think about it, if this succeeds, how much credit will we get? You are not young anymore, are you satisfied with just being a municipal party secretary?

This hit the nail on the head for Tian Fengyi, who was pursuing power in his position. He was only in his early fifties and still had a chance to become a deputy provincial-level cadre.
