Chapter 2498: Setting up and Dismantling the Stage

Wang Jianping smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your support, Governor Tang. This piece of land has some connection with our Wang family. Because it is too large and has a special location, local leaders dare not make the decision. Only the province can handle it, so I can only ask Governor Tang for help."

Tang Shaoying smiled indifferently. He knew very well that this was the condition Wang Jianping set for him.

Wang Jianping was unable to directly acquire the land and convert it into residential use because it involved another leader in the province, who was in charge of urban construction planning.

If the Wang family wanted to get a piece of this meat, they would have to coordinate or pay a certain price. But now it is different. With Tang Shaoying's support, they can save a lot of procedures.

Tang Shaoying's words helped Wang Jianping get billions of wealth, which can be said to be a great favor.

After receiving the promise, Wang Jianping smiled and said, "After careful consideration, I have decided to remove Wang Kecheng from the family tree. After all, he has no blood relationship with our Wang family."

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "This is the right decision. In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Chief of Staff Wang about other things in the province."

Wang Jianping said with a smile: "The military and the government are two different lines, and each profession has its own specialization. I only have a military position, not an administrative position. There are some things that I cannot participate in."

Tang Shaoying laughed: "I have always felt that Chief of Staff Wang is one of the best candidates for the provincial party committee standing committee. With your help, the province's decision-making will definitely be more efficient and more accurate."

This statement is equivalent to another big gift from Tang Shaoying.

He clearly told Wang Jianping that as long as the two sides established a good relationship, Wang Jianping would have the opportunity to replace Xie Zhenqi and become a member of the military standing committee.

Wang Jianping was immediately interested when he heard this: "Governor Tang, what do you want to talk to me about? If it's the United States, I really can't do anything. If it's in Guangdong Province, there is some room for cooperation."

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "What I want to talk to you about is the situation in the province. You should know that East Guangdong is facing many problems, such as slowing economic development, people's increasing demands for quality of life, and insufficient standardization of market-oriented operations and the need to enhance competitiveness."

"Especially in Chaojiang, the economic situation is not optimistic. I remember that Chief of Staff Wang personally sent out engineering troops to help Chaojiang build the Yangjiang transportation line. I'm sure you have a deep understanding of the area, right?"

Wang Jianping smiled meaningfully.

Tang Shaoying was not talking about the overall environment, but was asking Wang Jianping which side he stood on in the dispute between the province and the Chaojiang region.

After all, you helped Chaojiang before, and Tang Shaoying lost a lot of people that time.

"The reasons for helping were very complicated. Professor Wang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also a member of our Wang family. Based on the principle of the close relationship between the military and the people, I helped the local government and did what I could... Unfortunately, Professor Wang Wei De's current actions have disappointed me."

Tang Shaoying was surprised and asked, "How disappointed are you?"

Wang Kecheng said: "I thought that Professor Wang had made great achievements in his professional field and his character was impeccable. He was a model scholar who was willing to help others and selflessly devoted."

"Unfortunately, I later discovered that he had a lot of problems. Some people said that Professor Wang used the name of geological survey and the name of the Wang family in eastern Guangdong to survey many secret military bases and engineering facilities. This situation is alarming."

Tang Shaoying pondered in silence.

Wang Jianping continued, "Professor Wang is currently secretly investigating the Mingguang mine disaster in Haizhou City. He believes that the mine disaster was not caused by nature, but was deliberately sabotaged by someone."

Tang Shaoying frowned and asked, "How is Chief of Staff Wang going to deal with this person?"

Wang Jianping said: "As the patriarch of the Wang family in eastern Guangdong, I must be responsible for the actions of my family. I decided to launch an investigation into Wang Wei De and ask him to put down all the work at hand."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and his meaning was very clear - don't think that you can win me over by giving me a piece of land. If you really count it, you are still the one getting the better deal.

Tang Shaoying exclaimed: "Chief of Staff Wang is very careful and thoughtful. I deeply admire and thank him. On behalf of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the people of the province, I thank Chief of Staff Wang for putting national security and the interests of the people first, being honest and upright, and handling Professor Wang Wei De without favoritism."

Wang Jianping laughed and said, "This is what I should do. In addition, it is because Governor Tang and I are good friends, close comrades-in-arms, and partners."

Tang Shaoying nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I can also assure Chief of Staff Wang that although I have received news that Wang Kecheng is likely to sell out national interests, we will never make a hasty conclusion before the truth of the matter is thoroughly investigated. Any public information channels will be extremely cautious about this."

Wang Jianping looked at Tang Shaoying with some confusion, hoping that he could make his words more clearly.

Tang Shaoying said: "This incident has a very bad impact and may even lead to diplomatic disputes and even mutual economic sanctions. I think Wang Kecheng is not capable of stirring up such a big storm. He may not be the initiator of the whole incident. It seems that there are other behind-the-scenes culprits."

Wang Jianping narrowed his eyes and found that Tang Shaoying and his younger brother Tang Shaoxiong did not seem to be of the same mind.

The second-in-command is setting up a stage in the United States, and the first-in-command is taking the opportunity to tear it down?

Wang Jianping said: "The US's unwarranted detention of Chinese private entrepreneurs should be investigated by relevant departments. What we said is just speculation."

Tang Shaoying said sternly, "Chief of Staff Wang, you have to believe me. This matter is closely related to the Guangdong East Provincial Government. If it is not handled properly, it will have a huge negative impact on the reputation, image, prestige, economy, etc. of Guangdong East Province."

"In any case, we must be prepared and take a more proactive attitude to minimize the losses caused by trade frictions."

Wang Jianping hesitated and said, "Governor Tang really hopes that the truth of the matter will be investigated?"

Tang Shaoying said: "Yes, we will definitely do our best within our capabilities."

Wang Jianping smiled and said, "Then I will hurry up and contact Wang Kecheng. If there is any gain, I will inform Governor Tang of the relevant situation as soon as possible."

Tang Shaoying nodded and said, "Thank you Chief of Staff Wang for your understanding and support. Then, I will wait for good news."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and toasted Wang Kecheng.

Wang Kecheng also responded with a smile.

The two wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

The two men raised their heads and drank the wine in the glass, then looked at each other and laughed, seeming to be very happy.

Tang Shaoying hoped that Wang Jianping would use Wang Kecheng as a breakthrough point to expose the whole story of Chen Fei's arrest.

He just wanted to ruin his brother's plan and prevent Tang Shaoxiong from getting anything he planned.
