A Half-Step Winner: Qi Tongwei's Journey to the League

Chapter 553 Finale

My name is Qi Jinrui. I became a department-level cadre when I was less than 30 years old. I do not deny that this is because of the status of my father Qi Tongwei.

I am not the kind of person who enjoys the benefits brought by my family background while deceiving myself by saying that it is because of my own ability and has nothing to do with my family background.

In fact, ability can be said to be the least important thing in officialdom.

Take some of my colleagues around me for example, it’s not that there are no people who are better than me, but I am the one who gets promoted every time.

Thanks to the teachings of my grandfather and father, I did not pretend to reject this unfairness, but I also secretly vowed to do my best to ensure fairness where I could.

In the words of my father Qi Tongwei, if you can't stand some of the negative impressions in society, then work hard and try to climb up as much as possible. The higher your status, the greater your influence will be, and the more changes you can make.

When it comes to family background and political resources, I am the one with the most resources.

Yesterday, the organization talked to me and I was appointed as the secretary of the Jinming County Party Committee.

I know that this was probably the result of my father's manipulation. I don't quite understand why he let me go to such a place where it is difficult to achieve results.

……

SH City, Qi Tongwei’s residence.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Qi Tongwei raised his head and asked in confusion.

"Dad, was it your idea that I go to Jinming?" Qi Jinrui asked.

Qi Tongwei replied irrelevantly: "Why, you won't go because I'm the one who did it?"

Qi Jinrui smiled and said, "That's not the case. I just don't understand why you want me to go to a backward place like Jinming instead of the relatively developed east."

After hearing what I said, my father put down the book in his hand. It turned out to be a book called The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Didn't he know the book by heart? Why did he pick it up to read again? What was his intention?

Before Qi Jinrui could continue asking questions, Qi Tongwei spoke.

"We let you go to the impoverished areas in the west, firstly so that you won't be so conspicuous, secondly so that it's easier to achieve results there, and also because the country will shift the focus of development to the west in the future."

After listening to Qi Tongwei's explanation, Qi Jinrui asked in confusion: "Dad, I am familiar with Jinming. There are only two resources there, oil and natural gas, but because the company's performance is not good, the county's finances are extremely difficult. I heard some cadres discuss it, and they said that Jinming County has about 70 to 80 billion in arrears.

I really don’t know where to start developing a place like this, unless the central government, the provincial government, and the municipal government strongly support it. In this case, even if I develop Jinming, I won’t be able to convince others, which will be detrimental to my future career.”

“You only see the surface, but you don’t dig deeper.”

Qi Tongwei glanced at his son and patiently explained, "Let's first talk about the oil and natural gas owned by Jinming.

I have read the information. Jinming has huge reserves of oil and natural gas, as well as abundant mineral resources such as oil shale. As for the company you mentioned, its performance is not good. "

At this point, Qi Tongwei snorted, and then said: "Look at the countries in the world. Among all the countries with rich oil, natural gas and other resources, which one is poor?"

Qi Jinrui thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there really isn't one."

Qi Tongwei began to patiently explain to his son: "Oil prices have been rising every year, and the wages of oil workers have been falling instead of rising. The equipment is more advanced than in the past, so the cost of drilling a well should be relatively lower than in the past.

In the early days, these oil and gas companies had to spend money to build roads in order to drill wells in the mountains. Now that the roads are almost unobstructed, they no longer need to spend this money.

Everything is good for the development of oil companies, but they say they are not making money. Can you tell me why oil and gas companies are not making money? "

Qi Jinrui was silent for a moment and said, "Dad, I understand. I didn't think so much about it before. It turns out that all the money went into private pockets. It's corruption and poor management. No wonder the company is not doing well."

Qi Tongwei nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "That's right, there is a piece of news that has not been released to the public yet, one of our oil and gas bosses has embezzled tens of billions.

In addition, corporate corruption has persisted in recent years, so the higher authorities have decided to send disciplinary inspection and supervision teams to central enterprises, and provincial enterprises will decide whether to follow up based on the actual situation of each locality.

"The higher-ups are conducting a pilot program, and the lower-ups haven't made a specific decision yet. They're probably worried that the dispatched disciplinary inspection and supervision team will affect the development of the company." Qi Jinrui quickly figured out the higher-ups' intentions.

"All signs indicate that our country will further strengthen its control over state-owned enterprises.

After you arrive in Jinming, you must patiently wait for relevant documents and instructions from your superiors. Once you receive the documents, immediately set up a disciplinary inspection and supervision team stationed in the enterprise to begin investigating and rectifying these enterprises.

According to my estimation, if we can successfully catch all the corrupt officials in the oil and gas companies in Jinming County, the debt your government currently bears will be nothing at all." Qi Tongwei reminded him.

Hearing this, Qi Jinrui suddenly recalled his father's rise to power. He nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Dad, do you mean that I should use anti-corruption work as an entry point and breakthrough for other work?"

"That's right! If you can't completely overthrow those corrupt officials who break the law and enrich themselves, even if your superiors give you more funding support, the money will eventually fall into the pockets of these parasites.

So after you take office, the first thing you have to do is to find a way to closely unite the Discipline Inspection Commission and the public security and procuratorial departments to form a joint force, and then quickly launch a massive anti-corruption storm.

Focus on investigating the top responsible persons of each unit. I estimate that at least 10 out of 9 people have problems.

When these key positions become vacant, on the one hand, you can fill them with talents you trust and admire; on the other hand, the proceeds of corruption by fallen officials will also enrich the national treasury. "Qi Tongwei suggested.

Qi Jinrui's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately: "Okay, Dad, I understand."

Qi Tongwei glanced at his son and added, "I've arranged a driver for you. He will protect your safety."

For Qi Tongwei, as long as his son is safe, it doesn't matter even if the anti-corruption campaign fails temporarily. It is normal for young people to make mistakes. They can just learn from their experience and fight back.

Qi Jinrui was influenced by his grandfather Pei Yihong since he was a child, and did not reject his father's kindness like some other children.

"You should use about three years to fight corruption in Jinming, and then use a few years to develop the economy. Stay in Jinming for a few more years and improve your comprehensive abilities." Qi Tongwei finally instructed.

Qi Jinrui nodded and said, "I see. By the way, why are you reading The Art of War? Haven't you memorized the book by heart?"

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "The more I read this book, the more deeply I feel. The current international confrontations can all be solved in this book. Of course, these are macro-level solutions, and the specific details need to be improved by relevant people."

"So that's how it is, Dad. When can we achieve complete unification?" Qi Jinrui suddenly asked, thinking of the information he saw on Douyin.

"In three years at the latest, your father may become the first governor." Qi Tongwei did not hide it from his son. He knew that his son would not tell anyone, and there were also speculations from the outside world.

Qi Jinrui looked at his father with admiration. If that was the case, his father might really be able to take control of the world.

After the father and son finished their conversation, one went to look up information and think about how to fight corruption, while the other continued to read Sun Tzu's Art of War, thinking about how to deal with the country's situation.

Previously, he mainly dealt with issues within the province, but in the future he will have to consider the impact of the world situation. However, he believes that with the country's current strength, it will be able to deal with it calmly.

Pei Qianqian looked at the serious expressions of the father and son and couldn't help but smile happily.

Qi Tongwei suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked up at his wife and smiled slightly: He thought, this life is worth it. He has a happy family and a very successful career.

The dream of 'entering the ministry' has already been realized, and I will shoulder greater responsibilities in the future!
