Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"Hmm, good tea." Ding Wenzheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "Secretary Qi, this isn't local tea, is it?"

"No," Qi Tongwei said with a smile, "I brought this tea from Handong; it's not something ordinary people can get their hands on."

"Then I'm in luck."

"I still have half a bag left. If Secretary Ding likes it, you can take it all with you later."

"I'll have to accept your offer, haha."

This meeting was completely peaceful, without any hostility.

They're more like two friends who appreciate each other.

"By the way, Secretary Qi, you've been in Yanyuan County for a while now. If you encounter any difficulties, please be sure to tell me!"

Qi Tongwei understood what he meant.

Double entendre.

First, it means literally telling Qi Tongwei that everyone is on the same side and can make progress together.

Second, if you have something to say, talk to Ding Wenzheng. Don't go to Sha Ruijin to report it. I can't stand it!

"Definitely." Qi Tongwei took out his cigarettes, offered one, and lit another. "Secretary Ding, if Yanyuan County encounters any difficulties in the future, you must provide more support!"

“You’re being too polite,” Ding Wenzheng said with an upright expression. “We officials are here to serve the people. If you have any difficulties, just tell us, and we’ll solve them.”

"Thank you, Secretary Ding."

"Secretary Qi, you're too kind."

The conversation has been opened.

Ding Wenzheng finally felt relieved. After exchanging a few polite words, he stood up.

There is a unique art of language in officialdom.

There's no need to spell it out.

Qi Tongwei's attitude today shows that he doesn't have any deep-seated hatred towards the leaders of Yanhong City. As long as their bottom line isn't crossed, they can coexist peacefully.

This was also the purpose of Ding Wenzheng's visit.

Sending a signal of peace.

Judging from the current situation, Qi Tongwei is not a fool, nor does he intend to pursue the matter relentlessly.

Sha Ruijin could certainly see his attitude.

As long as Ding Wenzheng doesn't cross the line, we can all remain good comrades.

It was already evening when Ding Wenzheng left.

Li Dakang, the master of flattery, is online.

"Secretary Qi, you are amazing, you are truly amazing. After spending these two days together, I have realized that you have reached a height that I can only look up to."

"and then?"

“I want to learn from you,” Li Dakang said seriously. “Your political skills and political acumen are something I can learn for a lifetime.”

"I love listening, please continue."

“Secretary Qi, from now on, I will follow your lead without question. Wherever you point, I will follow. I will never have any other thoughts.”

"Did you say this to Zhao Lichun as well?"

"No, no," Li Dakang quickly denied, somewhat nervously saying, "Zhao Lichun is a scourge to the people. What merit does he have to be compared to Secretary Qi!"

"County Chief Dakang, there's no need for flattery." Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette. "I've smoothed out all the necessary connections for you. The steel plant project needs to be expedited; I want it to be operational as soon as possible."

"No problem, I'm an expert in this."

"And another thing," Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and added, "In the next few days, other investors will definitely come knocking on your door, so keep an eye on them."

“I know. As long as investors come to Yanyuan County, I will definitely keep them here.”

"Hmm." Qi Tongwei nodded. "By the way, I had Xiao Zhang go to the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department again today. We've become quite well-known, so when investors come, we need to screen them. We'll keep the valuable ones and not waste time on the worthless ones, since we'll be very busy soon."

"I understand, I understand."

"Go."

After Li Dakang left, Qi Tongwei gazed at the sunset and knew that good days were coming for Yanyuan County.

really.

In the following week, four investors from Yanyuan County approached the county seeking cooperation.

Of course, they all came with conditions when they sought cooperation.

What additional conditions?

Become friends with Qi Tongwei.

Why should I befriend Qi Tongwei?

I feel safe.

Putting everything else aside, with Qi Tongwei as a friend, no one in Yanhong City would dare to make things difficult for you. Whether it's banks or government officials, they all have to give you some face.

Anyone in business knows that to thrive and achieve long-term development, you need someone to protect you.

Recently, the news about Qi Tongwei has become a topic of conversation among many business and political figures through newspapers.

Everyone agreed that Qi Tongwei's backing seemed very secure.

Hug her thighs tightly.

This is just one of them.

Secondly, according to rumors, Qi Tongwei's influence extends beyond Shaanxi and Gansu; he still holds sway even in the south.

This was also the persona that Qi Tongwei initially created for himself.

So far, this persona has been very successful.

Anyway, a lot of people believe it.

Over time, as people's imaginations expanded, the stories became increasingly fantastical.

Some people say that Qi Tongwei and Sha Ruijin are relatives, which is why he's so arrogant.

When others spread rumors, Qi Tongwei neither denied nor confirmed them.

Everyone is free to use their imagination.

However, one thing is certain: Qi Tongwei is now a calling card for Yanyuan County, a top-tier celebrity.

They have a reputation and influence.

Who wouldn't want to curry favor?

That's the nature of officialdom; as long as you're strong, you'll never lack followers.

Chapter 187 Payday

Just like the model of popular live streamers, once they've built a good persona and gained fame, they have to harvest their followers and make money.

Next, Qi Tongwei, along with Li Dakang, would meet with one or two investors almost every day.

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

In the past, Yanyuan County had to adopt a humble attitude and beg investors to come and build factories.

Things are different now; no matter which investor you meet, you no longer need to bow and scrape.

On the contrary, they can also make demands.

What conditions?

Pay a deposit!

Why do I need to pay a deposit?

Because Yanyuan County is poor.

too poor.

Hou Liangping hasn't received his salary for several months. If he doesn't get some money soon, he'll have to borrow money to buy Coke again.

Of course, this guarantee is a sign of good faith. Once the contract is signed, the factory is built, and it is operating normally, the money will be refunded.

However, several months passed between those two trips.

Let's address the most pressing issue first!

Shop around.

They said there was no deposit required to build factories in other counties, but even so, many business owners were still willing to invest in Yanyuan County.

Without him.

They were after Qi Tongwei's power, ability, and influence.

Spending a little more money to make a friend and buy insurance is definitely worthwhile.
