Chapter 768 Fundraising (Part II)
Zhou Changquan sat on the single sofa and said, "Zhang Zhennong, this is a well-known entrepreneur in the province, a very simple person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Hou Weidong sat on the two-seater sofa, took the teacup handed over by Chu Xiuhong, and said, "I'm going to go to Longtang County, Tiezhou to make an unannounced visit to understand the specific situation. β
Zhou Changquan smoked a cigarette slowly and methodically, leaning on the sofa very leisurely, in the smoke, as if he was thinking, and seemed to be enjoying the pleasure brought by the smoke.
"Weidong, you're poisoning me. Only you dare to hand me a cigarette with great fanfare. β
Hou Weidong smiled and said: "Smoking properly is good for your health, such as the chief designer, that is the cigarette does not leave the hand, but people live to be more than ninety years old." During the SARS period, people who smoked cigarettes generally did not get infected. β
Zhou Changquan also laughed, "This is a good reason, the lungs have become bacon, and naturally there will be no SARS." β
The two laughed lightly, and Zhou Changquan said: "Zhang Zhennong, I have come into contact with this person, he is an idealist, and it is worth investigating." You are the director of the financial office, and the province will listen to your opinions, so go ahead. β
After leaving Zhou Changquan's office, Hou Weidong said goodbye and went to Tiezhou, accompanied by Yan Dao of the General Office and Wu Bo, executive deputy director of the Provincial Financial Office.
After Wu Bo received the notice, he was quite excited, and not only collected Zhang Zhennong's information, but also specially brought a lot of relevant information about the financial office. He wanted to take advantage of this trip to instill his thoughts for many years into Hou Weidong's mind.
The two cars drove out of Lingxi City, and when they passed through the southern suburbs, one of the cars in the lead flashed its lights and stopped on the side of the road.
Wu Bo followed behind Hou Weidong and walked on the trail, he looked at his unhurried back, and asked Yan Chunping quietly: "Where is this going?" β
Yan Chunping leaned into Wu Bo's ear, "The father of Zhu Yan, secretary of the Maoyun Municipal Party Committee, lives here, and the secretary general has served as a secretary to Secretary Zhu Yan. β
Wu Bo followed Hou Weidong with his eyes, pondering one thing in his heart, the deputy secretary general of the provincial government is still a secretary in essence, but a big secretary with heavier powers, so calculated, Hou Weidong has been a secretary at the county, city, and provincial levels, which is a miracle, an outlier, and a freak.
Hou Weidong walked on the bleak field and did not speak to the two subordinates. His gaze went beyond the lone eucalyptus tree standing on the ridge, over the yellow cypress tree with its huge canopy, over the land with only dead grass, and finally stopped at a gentle river.
The warm winter sun shines on the river, giving it a warm feeling.
After walking along the river for a short while, a local dog came out of the riverside path, ran to Hou Weidong's feet, stopped with some confusion, turned around his legs a few times, sniffed again, hummed, and ran away.
Walking through a bush of deep grass, I saw the expected old man. A few years have passed, and the years have left deeper wrinkles on the old man's forehead, but the old man who has been active in the mountains and rivers all the year round is still very healthy. β
Not far from the old man, sat a young woman, who did not apply powder, tied a ponytail with a rubber basket, and in front of her was a drawing board.
"Xiaohou, how did you find this, something?"
When Hou Weidong got out of the car, he took a bottle of tiger bone wine from Lingxi Zoo in the back of the car, which is said to be soaked in real tiger bones, and the zoo specially sent 20 bottles to the leaders of the provincial government.
"I passed by here, saw the sun shining, and guessed that the old man was mostly fishing, and sure enough, he was." Hou Weidong greeted the girl with a ponytail again, and said, "Zhu Mei, sketching?" β
Zhu Mei smiled slightly and said, "I'm drawing and playing." As she spoke, her pen was not idle, and soon a sturdy figure was added in front of her grandfather.
"Old man, this is tiger bone wine, authentic tiger bones, drink a small cup a day, Shu Zhen invigorates blood."
Zhu the old man took the tiger bone wine happily and said, "I have to accept Xiaohou's gift." Tiger bone wine is a good thing, and it is only available to the current leaders of your provincial government. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiaohou is good, I still remember the first time I came to the house, I just gave Zhu Yan as a secretary, in the blink of an eye, the old man is not old, you will be the secretary general." β
"The first time I came home, I was 23 years old, and now I'm 33 years old, and it's been 10 years."
Old Man Zhu asked, "Are you passing by here, where are you going?" β
Hou Weidong intended to talk to Old Man Zhu and said, "I am going to Longtang County, Tiezhou, to inspect Zhennong Group. β
I wish the old man to be the director of the Provincial Planning Commission, and his son is the secretary of the Maoyun Municipal Party Committee, but he has not forgotten his instinct, he heard about the Zhennong Group, and said keenly: "You are the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, and I heard that you are also the director of the Provincial Financial Office. β
Hou Weidong also gave a thumbs up and said, "The old man has a unique vision, in a word, I want to hear the old man's opinion." β
Zhu the old man lifted the fish basket and said, "I have a harvest today, I will leave after lunch." β
Yan Chunping took a step forward and said, "Old man, I'll help you carry the fish basket, and I'll give me the task of cutting the fish today." Of course I can cut it, but there is no peasant boy who can't cut fish. He has been to Zhu's house with Hou Weidong and is familiar with Old Man Zhu.
Hou Weidong introduced Wu Bo and said: "This is the old man, the former director of the Provincial Planning Commission. β
Wu Bo stepped forward and said: "Junior Wu Bo, deputy director of the Provincial Financial Office, when I joined the work, I wish the director gave us a lecture. β
Zhu Old Man laughed and said: "Now he is a retired old man, old and outdated." β
Hou Weidong saw that Zhu Mei was still sitting in front of the easel, so he walked over, only to see an old man concentrating on fishing on the canvas, and another man standing beside him, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. The old man is meticulous in his brushwork, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are clearly visible, and his focused eyes are ready to lift the fishing rod at any time, all of which are lifelike. The other man had only a few simple strokes, hard lines, and if he was not carrying a bottle of wine, he was a very tough man.
"Zhu Mei, well drawn."
"Do you know how to draw?"
"I don't know how to draw, but I can appreciate it."
"Will you appreciate it?"
Hou Weidong felt very strange when he heard Zhu Mei's tone, and said in his heart: "This girl is usually quite elegant, did she take gunpowder today?" β
Zhu Mei stabbed twice, her heart softened, she silently put away the easel, lowered her head, and followed her grandfather towards home.
The little earth dog was the least scheming, running around the legs of several people.
The doubts in Hou Weidong's heart flashed, and he quickly put the little girl's emotions behind him and walked side by side with Old Man Zhu.
"I still have some opinions on Zhang Zhennong's matter. If you used to work in the provincial government, you would definitely think that Zhennong Group was illegally fundraising. Since I retired, I have been living in the suburbs, and I have made friends with the members, and I have a relationship with them, and I understand their thoughts, but I have different views on this matter. β
Hou Weidong deliberately wanted to listen to the opinions of all parties, and deliberately stood on the opposite side of Old Man Zhu, saying: "No matter what, the nature of this kind of behavior is illegal accumulation. β
Old Man Zhu kept shaking his head: "Since 2000, the commercial banks have retreated greatly from the townships and towns, and the former rural cooperative foundations have been closed, and now the rural financial sector has become a burden. Although Zhennong Group is well-known in the province, because it is a private enterprise, it is very difficult to get loans, Zhang Zhennong has a very strong personality, and I heard that the relationship with the financial sector is very stiff, and he is engaged in fund-raising or illegal accumulation of savings, which is forced, and it is understandable. β
Hou Weidong heard too many sympathetic comments about Zhang Zhennong, which aroused his interest even more, and along the way he discussed with Mr. Zhu about the withdrawal of commercial banks from the township one after another.
In the courtyard, I met with Aunt Zhang. Compared to a few years ago, the two elders have almost remained the same, they were old before, and they are still old people, not younger, nor do they appear older.
Hou Weidong said with emotion: "Aunt Zhang, I used to retire, and I also tried to find a house in the suburbs and enjoy the idyllic scenery. In retrospect, in addition to work is still work. β
Aunt Zhang smiled, "The cucumber is just getting up, you just want to retire, it's still early, and you won't think about retirement until ten years after Zhu Yan retires." β
Now the position of the Organization Minister of the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee has been undecided, Zhu Yan is still a popular candidate, Hou Weidong sees this matter very clearly, his level has not reached such a height, he can only see.
Yan Chunping took the fish and carried a knife to cut the fish outside.
Wu Bo was the first time to Zhu's house, and he was a professional and not good at communicating, so he sat in the living room in a regular manner, listening to the old man Zhu and Hou Weidong brag. After listening to it for a while, I couldn't help but say: "I have ideas about the gradual withdrawal of commercial banks from towns and villages, and from the perspective of driving domestic demand, rural credit cooperatives, foundations and commercial banks should still be reasonably distributed. β
Hou Weidong encouraged: "You are majoring in finance, what is your good advice?" β
Wu Bodao: "The full name of the Provincial Financial Office is the Provincial Financial Services Office, which is attached to the General Office of the Provincial Government. If no changes are made, the provincial financial office is dispensable, and it can directly obtain data from the People's Bank of China and the China Banking Regulatory Commission.
In my opinion, the financial office should be changed from the provincial financial services office to the provincial financial management office, and the supervisory functions should be strengthened, and the provincial financial state-owned assets should be managed by the financial office, and the management of local microcredit, guarantee, and other institutions and the functions of financial exchanges with foreign countries can also be increased. β
Hou Weidong is the deputy secretary general of the provincial government and the director of the financial office, and the focus of his work is on the post of deputy secretary general, and the expansion of the functions and powers of the financial office is of no decisive significance to him. Wu Bo's situation is different, he is the executive deputy director of the provincial financial office, and the expansion of the financial office's power will greatly increase his weight, so he is single-mindedly lobbying Hou Weidong.
Hou Weidong did not easily agree, and said: "The provincial financial office has expanded its powers, so what does the banking regulatory department do, is it excessive intervention in finance." β
Several people were chatting about the men's topics downstairs, Zhu Mei returned upstairs, she sat by the window, looking at the green mountains and green waters in the distance, and on the small table next to her, there was a photo, this is a photo of her and Li Jing and the clown, with the White House in the background.
