Chapter 2002: Decision and Character

Not long after, Chaojiang City's mayor Gu Hongcheng and the city's procuratorate's chief prosecutor Li Wu, representing the Gu and Li families respectively, began to express their support for Liu Fusheng's promotion of the clan reform, fearing that they would fall behind others and cause Secretary Liu to target his own family.

Seeing this, Liu Fusheng smiled slightly. He had already expected this situation.

In a career as a government official, one must have two basic skills. The first is to read people's expressions and know who is in the limelight so as not to go against the general trend. The second is to be politically correct. Only with a firm stance can one continue to be promoted. Without this foundation, even if one has made great achievements, he or she will ultimately be lost in the crowd.

The leadership teams of the three cities in Chaojiang were united, and a resolution on clan reform was quickly reached.

The Zhao family of Jiyang, the Gu family of Chaojiang, and the Hong family of Jiangtou became model pilot projects for clan reform. The remaining clans fully cooperated, jointly promoted and implemented clan reform policies, abolished past clan rules, completely handed over clan power, and made laws and social behavioral norms the only standards for all people in the Chaojiang area to follow.

Anyone who uses old clan rules or even goes against the law will be severely punished.

The wheel of history rolls forward. Even if there are a few diehards who insist on their original ideas, they cannot change the general trend.

After dealing with the clan's affairs, Liu Fusheng turned to Sun Hai and motioned for him to talk about the smuggling matter.

Sun Hai said in a deep voice: "Jiangtou City's 100-day crackdown is ongoing. The current results have not yet reached the expected standards. Although we have caught a lot of criminals, the quality is not very high."

"Please rest assured, Secretary Liu, we will seize the time to eradicate smuggling activities in Jiangtou City and bring to justice all criminals who dare to challenge the law and undermine the rule of law and the economic environment of Chaojiang District."

In the eyes of many people, the assurances made by Sun Hai are just official jargon and a formal process.

Only Liu Fusheng and Sun Hai knew that there would not be much progress in the early stages of the 100-day crackdown, because Hai Changchun, the biggest smuggling leader in Chaojiang area and even in eastern Guangdong Province, was now at large and famous, becoming a hot and conscientious entrepreneur and an idol in the business world.

All major media outlets have been promoting and reporting on Chairman Hai, and even across the country, Hai Changchun has gained considerable fame.

This was also one of the steps in Liu Fusheng's plan. If he wanted to destroy him, he had to make him crazy.

Hai Changchun has been flattered to the point of being somewhat arrogant. Next, the blade of the 100-day crackdown will naturally slowly move towards Ocean International.

Sun Hai’s statement at the meeting was the clarion call for the attack.

After the meeting, Sun Hai privately found Liu Fusheng and asked, "Master, the evidence we have about Hai Changchun is enough to put him to death, especially the evidence that Han Dawei left in the safe."

"However, Hai Changchun deliberately created public opinion and spent money to establish a good image for himself. Tang Shaoying also commended him several times at the level of Guangdong Province. If Hai Changchun gets into trouble, it will definitely make a sensation across the country. Before we take action, we have to consider the social impact."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Indeed, we need to be strategic in dealing with Hai Changchun. For a conscientious entrepreneur with a very high social reputation, we must let what he did gradually surface and cause controversy at the social level before we can bring him to justice."

"The most important thing right now is not to capture Hai Changchun, but to prevent Secretary Tang from the province from slaughtering this fat sheep first."

Sun Hai was surprised and asked, "Do you mean that Tang Shaoying will take the lead in attacking Hai Changchun?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Yes, I have won great honor in Dong Rihe, and my wings are becoming more and more full. Tang Shaoying will definitely make preparations for both situations."

"This includes using Hai Changchun to disrupt the market economy in Chaojiang area, making it impossible for me to fulfill the boasts I made at the special provincial party committee meeting."

"Another possibility is to support other agents to acquire Hai Changchun's industries and then transfer all these assets, so that all our plans for Hai Changchun will come to nothing."

"As for the control of the Yangjiang Line and the economy of Chaojiang City, it is no longer appropriate for them to be controlled by the local government."

These words made Sun Hai think for a long time, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He did not have as many thoughts as Liu Fusheng, and only now did he realize that the plan he thought was perfect actually had such a huge loophole.

Fortunately, Liu Fusheng discovered the key to the problem, which means that he must have a solution.

After calming down, Sun Hai grinned and said, "Master, you suddenly said something like this, and I was so scared that I almost had a heart attack!"

Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "I am afraid that if I reveal this news to you too early, you will be hesitant and timid when doing things, and then it will not be true to your pretense."

Sun Hai smiled and said, "Although my ability is not as good as yours, Master, I have absolute confidence in you. I will 100% implement whatever you ask me to do. Acting is just a small matter. You can't look down on me!"

Liu Fusheng waved his hand and said, "I'm not looking down on you, but I'm not completely sure about this matter. If Tang Shaoying starts the harvesting plan ahead of time, all our efforts will be in vain."

"This……"

Sun Hai's smile suddenly froze on his face.

He said in surprise: "Don't you have any solution? This joke is not funny. If there is really no solution, I will have sleepless nights."

Liu Fusheng sighed, "I'm not kidding you. Tang Shaoying is very cautious. We can only take a gamble now."

"What are you betting on?" Sun Hai asked.

Liu Fusheng said: "I'm betting on Tang Shaoying's decision and Hai Changchun's character."

Decision-making and character are the most important links in the game between Liu Fusheng and Tang Shaoying.

He knew before that Tang Shaoying was also waiting for the results of Dong Rihe's exercise, and he didn't want to take risks as long as there was a peaceful solution.

In fact, before the exercise began, not many people thought that Liu Fusheng could win, because he was a layman and because Wang Zhiguang's winning streak had not been broken by any major military region.

Now the results are out, which is very unfavorable to Tang Shaoying, forcing him to make some decision as soon as possible.

Currently, Liu Fusheng's relationship with the Xie family in East Guangdong Province is even more harmonious than Tang Shaoying's. It can even be said that they have reached a strategic alliance.

The Xie family is not involved in politics, but they hold quite amazing political resources. Once the Xie family stands behind Liu Fusheng, no one in East Guangdong Province can stop him from realizing his political ambitions.

If Tang Shaoying continues to be fussy at this time, she will definitely suffer a great loss.
