Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 267: Still Using Relationships

"Now I give you a task. If you want to climb higher in the future and go further on the road of economic development, you need to study economics in depth and really study it with your heart, instead of being like some cadres who went to the Party School for training, sleeping in class, having dinner together after class, forming cliques and saying this classmate and that classmate are also classmates."

Li Wei could only nod.

"Yes, General Manager."

Qi Tongwei changed the subject, sat back on the sofa, and picked up the map on the table.

"This small area is the core area of ​​our Jiangbei New District. There is no problem in developing some high-end real estate here.

The most important thing is to develop the economy, but we cannot allow other mid- and low-end properties to soar so high that ordinary people cannot afford them.

Like other areas, we will build some relatively low-quality housing at low prices. The most important thing is the price of the land, which must be controlled.

After all, industry is the foundation and core driving force of the economy. Industry creates jobs, and employed people come to the new city to consume. This is the proper development model of the secondary and tertiary industries.

Hong Kong is not normal. The secondary industry is completely hollowed out, leaving only the tertiary industry, finance and real estate. If the English goblins continue to run the city, Hong Kong will be ruined.”

Li Wei took over the conversation from the side.

“Fortunately, the top management had the guts to take it back the year after.”

"Don't talk too much, just finish the task at hand.

The focus here is on land acquisition, and the other is on the construction of a transportation network.

Has the Municipal Transportation Bureau allocated funds? The roads in the High-tech Zone have not been repaired yet. We need to hurry up and urge them to do so.”

Qi Tongwei's thinking changes very quickly, and his subordinates often can't keep up. However, they got used to it over time. When they knew they were about to meet Qi Tongwei, they would keep reviewing the work at hand in their minds to avoid being speechless when asked questions.

“Yes, I understand. The officials of Jiangbei Sub-district worked very hard on the land acquisition. They were at the forefront.

The construction of the transportation network is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Our workload is not too heavy and our main focus is still on providing assistance.

Director Qin has not given a positive response to the Municipal Transportation Bureau's funding. I will go and ask again."

Qi Tongwei felt a little annoyed when he heard this.

"What does Qin want to do? He asked for money for road maintenance but he was making excuses.

Tomorrow I will go directly to Secretary Jin to see if he has any excuses. "

In fact, Qi Tongwei knew that Director Qin had his own agenda. The city government had already approved the money for road maintenance, but he was dragging his feet and holding up the money on the grounds that the project had not been approved.

Qi Tongwei had already inquired from others and found out that Director Qin had a special contractor for road maintenance in various districts and counties. This contractor had contracted most of the maintenance projects in several urban districts. Although the level of the work was acceptable and the price was also market price, Qi Tongwei was very uncomfortable with the issue of designating a construction team.

At that time, there were no clear regulations on the bidding process for government projects. Most of the time, a contract was signed quite casually, and then a local team would start working on it.

There is no clear standard to determine whether Director Qin's behavior violated the rules. As for whether he took kickbacks, only God knows.

The most disgusting thing is that Director Qin did not say anything about his behavior, but let you guess and ask someone. After you knew his purpose, you took the initiative to find the construction team. Once the contract was signed, the money from the Transportation Bureau was directly transferred to you the next day.

It's just like some unreasonable little girls who are angry with their partners. I just won't say anything and let you guess. You guessed it and you took the initiative, but it wasn't something I asked you to do.

It's a similar principle in official circles. Director Qin did this just to keep his own bottom clean.

He is a man of certain principles. For example, he usually doesn't have any objections to the money allocated by the superiors for highway construction. The amount is too large, the cost procedure is complete, and there are so many eyes watching it from top to bottom. If he touches it, he might be noticed by the main leaders of the municipal party committee. So he handles the money impartially.

He also refuses to touch the money given to rural counties to build low-grade roads. It is said that he said that this is money to help the poor and to alleviate poverty, and touching it will damage his virtue. He will also take the initiative to help some counties run these projects and obtain funds.

The only project he would take advantage of was the road maintenance in the urban area. These projects were not large and were scattered, making them easy to account for. In addition, he simply asked the construction teams he was familiar with to do more work and did not cut corners. The construction teams gave him some dividends every year, but the amount was not much, maybe a dozen or so. Compared with other powerful cadres at the deputy director level, he was already very conscientious.

Qi Tongwei was also at a loss as to what to do with his soft rejection. Although he didn't want to get involved in these matters from the bottom of his heart and had always turned a blind eye to the other party's hints, the road surface was damaged and there were so many new companies moving into the high-tech zone.

Many enterprises have begun to enter the development stage. Every day, a large number of vehicles go in and out of the High-tech Zone. The only one that can't wait is the High-tech Zone.

Qi Tongwei looked at the thermos in his hand and decided to compromise. He just thought of it as a mosquito bite, which would not hurt him, but was a little disgusting. So he picked up the phone and called Li Wei back.

Li Wei was a little puzzled. He had just left for less than ten minutes and he was called back again to bother him.

"Well, ask the road administration to invite the road maintenance teams in Bailu District and Heima District to come over and pave the road in the High-tech Zone as soon as possible. Then send someone to the Municipal Transportation Bureau to get the money."

Li Wei understood it as soon as he heard it. He was the one who found out the connection here. However, when he saw the disgusted expression on Qi Tongwei's face, he didn't even say a word. Qi Tongwei spoke so firmly at first, saying that he would tell the leaders of the municipal party committee and so on, but in the end he still compromised.

"Okay, I understand. I'll find someone to follow up on it this afternoon. I'll have someone monitor the quality of the project throughout the entire process."

Li Wei knew what Qi Tongwei was most concerned about. What he was afraid of was that he would find someone with connections to do the construction, but the quality of the project would be terrible and he would suffer a loss, which would eventually hinder the development of the high-tech zone. So he took the initiative to speak up.

This made Qi Tongwei feel that Li Wei had become more intelligent recently, and it seemed that his official skills had improved and he had made progress. So he nodded, turned around and drank some water, meaning that the work was discussed and they could leave.

Li Wei also left tactfully. It was already a great favor to Qi Tongwei that he could endure the disgust and propose to let the people with connections to do the construction. If he waited a few more minutes, he might have gone crazy because of the left foot going into the goal. It would not be worth it to be scolded for nothing then.
