Chapter 1823 Each takes one step back

"Why did Xie Zhiguo do this? Why did he support Yian so much and insist on putting all these in Yian?" Huang Jiancheng asked in return.

"You have already met with him a few days ago and made it clear that your idea is to put all these in Tai'an. If Xie Zhiguo is not a political rookie, he should understand that he should not be our enemy as he has just arrived. At least now is not the time for him to be our enemy." Huang Jiancheng continued.

Although Xie Zhiguo is the secretary of the municipal party committee and the top leader, he has absolute say in many matters.

But even so, the orders of the municipal party committee need people to execute them. If the people below do not execute them, or act insincerely, or deliberately perfunctorily, then the municipal party secretary will be a figurehead and will not be able to accomplish anything.

To put it more seriously, with the power of Liu Xiaoping and others in Xiquan now, they can completely prevent the city committee's orders from leaving the city committee compound.

Of course, there is only one exception in the entire Xiquan, and that is Yian County.

After Qin Feng's several desperate operations in Yian County, Liu Xiaoping and others' power had been completely squeezed out of Yian County.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Xiaoping and others suppressed Yian County everywhere. Not to mention personal grudges, when it comes to interests, Liu Xiaoping, Huang Jiancheng and others regard Qin Feng as a scourge and dream of getting rid of Qin Feng as soon as possible.

"I asked someone to investigate. Xie Zhiguo first served as the county party secretary of Shannan County, Dongyang City. At that time, Qin Feng was also working in Shannan County. It is said that Xie Zhiguo thought very highly of Qin Feng at that time. Qin Feng was able to climb so quickly because of Xie Zhiguo's promotion." Liu Xiaoping explained again.

"So these two people have this kind of relationship, but it doesn't have to be that serious. Is Xie Zhiguo so stupid? He wants to completely offend us for Qin Feng? Does he not plan to continue to work as the municipal party secretary?"

As a politician, it is impossible for him to damage his own political interests for the sake of his subordinate.

"This is also what I can't understand. Why did Xie Zhiguo do this?" Liu Xiaoping shook his head.

"Mayor, are we thinking too much? Maybe Xie Zhiguo doesn't have these ideas at all, and he just wants to go to Yi'an County for a walk and a look on a whim."

"I hope so, but we cannot help but be prepared. If Xie Zhiguo wants to give Yian the key poverty alleviation county and move the tourism industry to Yian at the Standing Committee meeting, what should we do?" Liu Xiaoping asked.

"We can't agree to this. This is not a small amount. Let's not talk about the key counties for poverty alleviation. The special poverty alleviation funds from the province alone are no less than 1 billion yuan each year. The construction of the tourism industry alone is a huge project worth tens of billions of yuan."

"Peng Lijun has been following this matter since last year. In addition, Vice Governor Liao's nephew is also keeping an eye on this matter, and you have already made a promise to him. If this project is finally handed over to Yian, Qin Feng will never listen to us given his character. What should we do then?" Huang Jiancheng asked worriedly.

"We must not let such a big piece of cake slip away from our hands and fall into Qin Feng's mouth." Huang Jiancheng said finally.

"Of course I know this. What I'm thinking now is whether it is necessary to ruin my relationship with Xie Zhiguo because of this matter." Liu Xiaoping asked with a frown.

Xie Zhiguo is the secretary of the municipal party committee. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Liu Xiaoping does not want to take the initiative to become an enemy of Xie Zhiguo. This will not do him any good.

Xie Zhiguo was smart in that he did not take the initiative to reject Liu Xiaoping's suggestion, but instead used this inspection to implicitly express his attitude to Liu Xiaoping.

Xie Zhiguo was the municipal party secretary, and Liu Xiaoping was only the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Xie Zhiguo was the top leader and Liu Xiaoping's leader.

Now that Xie Zhiguo has taken the initiative to express his opinion, the problem falls to Liu Xiaoping.

If Liu Xiaoping still insists on not agreeing to move the key poverty alleviation counties and tourism industries to Yian County, it means that he, Liu Xiaoping, is actively disobeying Xie Zhiguo's opinion and it is he, Liu Xiaoping, who is actively provoking the conflict.

"Now it seems that Xie Zhiguo is indeed a character and a politically wise man." Huang Jiancheng obviously also figured out the relationship here.

"He is the municipal party secretary. We have to give him face. If we really fall out with him, the higher-ups will definitely side with him when they punish him."

"It is indeed the governor's opinion to make Yian the key poverty alleviation county. We agree with this, but the tourism industry must be placed in Tai'an. Let's both take a step back. I give him this face. I think if he is a smart man, he will agree." Liu Xiaoping said slowly.

The tourism industry is a huge piece of fat meat. Liu Xiaoping has already arranged how to eat this piece of fat meat. After all, this is not just his business. There is a group of stakeholders behind him who are eyeing this piece of fat meat. This is something Liu Xiaoping cannot give up.

In order to get Xie Zhiguo to agree with this and not wanting to publicly intensify the conflict with Xie Zhiguo, Liu Xiaoping chose to give up the quota for key poverty-stricken counties.

Huang Jiancheng nodded. He understood the interests involved very well. This was a helpless move.

"The public announcement period for Qin Feng's promotion has passed. The election for the Standing Committee of the People's Congress will be held in a few days, and he will officially become the deputy mayor. What do you think about this?" Liu Xiaoping asked Huang Jiancheng again.
