Officialdom: From village head to provincial party secretary

"How much customs fee does the port city charge us?"

Zhao Limin asked.

"Twenty percent."

Ye Xinran smiled jokingly and replied.

"From today on, Yuncheng will officially charge Gangcheng 20% ​​of the customs fees. There must be no mistakes."

Zhao Liming said very seriously.

Didn’t Guangfu force Gangcheng to cancel all trade with Yuncheng?

Row.

If you want to play, I'll play with you till the end.

He wants to see who is dependent on whom now.

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhao Liming finished speaking, Ye Xinran burst into laughter.

Ye Xinran naturally understood what Zhao Liming meant.

This is a cool move by Cantonese.

It did curb the trade between Gangcheng and Yuncheng.

However, they had no idea that the current Yuncheng was no longer the Yuncheng of the past.

It has completely changed from a city that used to import raw materials to a city that used to export raw materials.

Moreover, almost 80 percent of the materials in the port city have to be transported through the Yuncheng port.

Once the ports between the two places are closed.

So what will happen?

Yes, the port city has fallen into complete paralysis.

"Leader, the elder is coming down."

Just as there was a burst of laughter in the office, a clerk ran in and said to Zhao Liming with a serious face.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked over.

"where?"

Zhao Limin asked seriously.

"Guangfu."

The clerk replied.

"okay, I get it."

Zhao Liming nodded.

The clerk immediately turned around and left.

"Everyone, go do your own thing! I'll entertain the elders."

Zhao Liming glanced at Ye Xinran, Huang Si, Lin Hu and others and gave simple instructions.

What to do at this time.

He doesn't need to say more.

I believe everyone understands.

"Yes!"

Ye Xinran, Lin Hu, Huang Si as well as Da Niu and Xiao She got up and left.

Moreover, everyone's expressions became solemn.

If the old man doesn't come down, they may be able to relax.

Once the elders step down, they have to become serious.

Because they know very well what this visit by the state elder means.

After everyone left, Zhao Liming lit a cigarette for himself and fell into deep thought.

The old man came down at this time, which was obviously much earlier than expected.

He didn't even have any time to prepare.

"Prepare the car."

Zhao Liming suddenly shouted.

"Yes!"

A voice was immediately heard from outside.

Zhao Liming got up and left.

……

"Old Master, should we go to Yuncheng first, or Guangfu first?"

Guangzhou Airport.

The old man had just got off the plane. At this time, Tang Qinglian ran over and asked with a smile.

That’s right, this time, Tang Qinglian also came down with the old man.

The reason why I accompanied him down.

There are three reasons.

First, she also wanted to see what Yuncheng looked like. Second, she was now the personal secretary of the state elder, so she had to follow. Third, she was the special envoy this time.

In other words, the elder state's visit was not made public.

"Let's go to Guangfu first! I haven't been to this ancient city for nearly 20 years. I have to experience its prosperity."

The old man smiled and joked.

First time in Guangzhou.

It was more than 20 years ago.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye.

He couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

"Yes, Lord. I'll arrange it right away."

Tang Qinglian immediately ran away with a smile.

Not long after, Guo Lao's motorcade slowly drove out of the airport.

Looking at the familiar streets and familiar scenes, Guo Lao sighed in his heart.

However, when his motorcade approached a busy street in the city, he saw an incredible scene.

What you see when you enter is not a busy street.

On the contrary, there were teams of families moving away.

Moreover, it is not just one or two people, but tens of thousands of people.

They even saw that factories were being dismantled one by one, and some factory parts were being loaded onto trucks and moved.

It is also not just one or two companies, but a large-scale relocation.

It was not only Tang Qinglian who noticed this scene.

Even the old man was stunned.

"Big brother, where are you going?"

Tang Qinglian was very tactful. She asked the driver to stop the car, then got out and asked a man passing by curiously.

"Where else can I go? To make a living!"

The man glanced at Tang Qinglian and sighed.

"To make a living? In a cosmopolitan city as big as Guangzhou, is it impossible to even make a living?"

Tang Qinglian asked in surprise.

"International metropolis? Ha! That was in the past, not now. How can a place that can't even accommodate an old traditional factory like ours be called an international metropolis? Just wait! In less than a year, it will definitely be replaced by Yuncheng."

The man said with resentment on his face.

"..."

Tang Qinglian was stunned.

What do you mean?

What do you mean even the old traditional factories can’t be accommodated?

"Good news, good news. Yuncheng has started recruiting again. Not only that, Yuncheng is also willing to accept our factories that were abandoned by Guangfu."

"Really?"

"I'm not going to lie to you. Yuncheng just issued a document. Let's go and seek refuge in Yuncheng."

"it is good……"

Soon, a shout was heard from the crowd.

The entire relocation team was immediately excited.

With gleaming eyes, they rushed towards Yuncheng.

This scene again amazed Tang Qinglian and Guo Lao.

"My fellow countryman, what happened in Guangfu?"

Tang Qinglian was still worried, so she went to ask an old man again.

"What else could happen? The higher-ups are not doing anything, driving out old factories and attracting new ones. This has caused many workers to lose their jobs, and now they have gone to Yuncheng to make a living!"

After saying this, the old man turned and left.

"..."

Tang Qinglian was stunned again.

After a long time, he returned to the car.

"Master, I..."

What are Tang Qinglian and Guo Lao here for?

inspected.

And it was a secret inspection.

Because according to the agreed time, the national elders will come down after the spring.

Now it's several months earlier.

What about now?

But saw this scene.

"go!"

The elder's face was extremely gloomy.

Tang Qinglian just had a conversation with several passers-by.

He heard it all.

What did he hear?

The Cantonese abandoned their old factories, leaving countless workers unemployed.

Now it is recruiting foreign investment.

What is this called?

This is called digging your own grave.

"Yes, Lord."

Tang Qinglian felt the anger of the elder.

However, he nodded and asked the driver to continue driving.

"Why don't you pay us? We've worked for half a year! Now we don't get paid a cent. Why?"

"You're right. Without money, how can our family survive?"

"I must see the money today..."

When the car passed a department, we saw hundreds of construction workers gathered outside the department.

The workers gathered together and shouted loudly.

"Comrades, it's not that I don't want to give you money! It's just that the provincial party committee is doing a big construction and really can't come up with the money!"

An old leader stood on the stage to comfort the crowd.
