Chapter 2422 Sun Yuanwei boarded the ship

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Sun Yuanwei looked at Qin Feng with a very surprised look.

Sun Yuanwei was so surprised for two reasons.

First, Qin Feng was so confident that he could decide the candidate for the Pingnan County Party Committee Secretary.

Qin Feng would never easily ask Sun Yuanwei for his opinion on the candidate for the head of Pingnan County. Since Qin Feng asked, it meant that Qin Feng gave this position to Sun Yuanwei. As long as Sun Yuanwei recommended someone, Qin Feng could make that person the secretary of the Pingnan County Party Committee.

The county party secretary is one of the most important personnel appointments in a city. Even the municipal party secretary Jiang Longjun does not dare to say that he is absolutely sure. After all, this matter requires the consent of the province. How can Qin Feng, a mayor who comes from another place with no background, have such great ability?

The second thing that surprised Sun Yuanwei was that Qin Feng actually gave him such an important power to appoint the secretary of the Pingnan County Party Committee. Sun Yuanwei knew very well what the power to appoint and remove a county party secretary meant.

Moreover, Qin Feng not only said that he would give Sun Yuanwei the position of Secretary of the Pingnan County Party Committee, but also mentioned that many personnel appointments in the future would be given to people recommended by Sun Yuanwei.

Qin Feng is the mayor. Although the personnel power is mainly concentrated in the hands of Jiang Longjun, the municipal party committee secretary, as the second-in-command mayor, Jiang Longjun naturally needs to give a considerable part of it to Qin Feng. This is a rule that everyone tacitly accepts.

For Sun Yuanwei, this is a huge fortune.

Sun Yuanwei climbed up step by step from the grassroots level. He had countless disciples and had a great influence among the middle and lower-level cadres. However, his influence was only at the middle and lower levels and could not penetrate to the municipal level. The most crucial reason was that Sun Yuanwei did not have the ability to allow these middle and lower-level cadres to continue to move up. This was also the reason why Sun Yuanwei was at a complete disadvantage in the struggle with Shao Hongli.

And now Qin Feng has given Sun Yuanwei this channel for his disciples to move up. For Sun Yuanwei, this is a temptation greater than the sky.

Qin Feng was actually willing to give him such a big gift, so Sun Yuanwei didn't dare to believe that what Qin Feng said was true.

Looking at Sun Yuanwei's surprised and suspicious eyes, Qin Feng immediately understood what Sun Yuanwei was thinking.

"Mayor Yuan Wei, don't look at me like that. I can put it more bluntly. You need the power in my hands, and I need the people in your hands. We should be on the same boat, don't you think?"

Qin Feng poured tea for Sun Yuanwei with a smile.

Sun Yuanwei did not answer Qin Feng's words immediately. He was obviously thinking about Qin Feng's words and weighing the matter in his heart.

Qin Feng was right. Sun Yuanwei had a solid foundation, but he had no power, especially the power to appoint personnel, and could not provide opportunities for his disciples to advance.

Qin Feng had the power, but he came to Shazhou alone, without any roots or people he could use, and he absolutely could not use the people from Shao Hongli and Lixin Group.

So Qin Feng took a fancy to the people in Sun Yuanwei's hands, and he also happened to be able to provide Sun Yuanwei with the power he wanted. It can be said that the cooperation between Qin Feng and Sun Yuanwei is a perfect fit and a win-win situation.

Of course, some people may think that Qin Feng is at a loss by doing this. All the people he promoted are Sun Yuanwei's people. Isn't this making things easier for Sun Yuanwei?

But the reality is not like this. Qin Feng promoted Sun Yuanwei's people. Before the promotion, this person was Sun Yuanwei's person. But after Qin Feng promoted him, he was still Sun Yuanwei's person, but he was also Qin Feng's person.

Just like in Jiangnan Province, Qin Feng was Zhao Hongjian's man, but he was also Hu Guangxiang's man, and there was no conflict between the two.

Moreover, in this circle where interests are the most important, whoever has more power is more attractive. Therefore, for Qin Feng, cooperation with Sun Yuanwei is a sure win. Not only can he easily gain the support of the middle and lower-level cadres and masses in Sun Yuanwei's hands, but he can also get the support of a deputy mayor, which is very beneficial to Qin Feng's position in the municipal government.

Sun Yuanwei hesitated for only two or three minutes, then he held the tea and respectfully said to Qin Feng: "Mayor, although I am old, I do not admit that I am old. As long as the mayor does not despise me, I think I can still fight for the mayor for a few more years."

"As the old saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. Mayor Yuan Wei's experience and qualifications are beyond my reach. And in my opinion, Mayor Yuan Wei is not old, but in the prime of his life."

"I am confident that there will be major changes in Shazhou within the next two years, and I also believe that as long as we can stabilize the overall situation in Shazhou, it will not be too difficult for Mayor Yuanwei to take the next step and join the Standing Committee. By then, won't Mayor Yuanwei be in his prime at this age?" Qin Feng painted a huge pie for Sun Yuanwei while smoking a cigarette.

After listening to Qin Feng's words, Sun Yuanwei's eyes shone with an unconcealable light.

It’s not that the pie Qin Feng painted was too tempting, but that Sun Yuanwei himself was unwilling to see his political career end so abruptly.

As a native of Shazhou, Sun Yuanwei's biggest dream in life is to enter the Standing Committee, the power center of Shazhou. Having worked at the deputy director level for more than ten years, he dreams of taking one more step before retirement.

Even though Sun Yuanwei has lost his fighting spirit at this age, he still has to plan for the future for his descendants and his disciples.

The most important thing is that Sun Yuanwei has been suppressed by Shao Hongli for so many years, and it can even be said that he has been insulted. He dreams of taking revenge, otherwise he will never be able to let it go in his life.

Sun Yuanwei had originally been in despair, but the appearance of Qin Feng today gave him complete hope.

For Sun Yuanwei, no matter whether Qin Feng is just making empty promises or not, he will take the initiative to board Qin Feng's ship, because he needs Qin Feng far more than Qin Feng needs him.

Unlike when Qin Feng came, when Sun Yuanwei just sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake waiting for Qin Feng to come, when Qin Feng left, Sun Yuanwei, Xie Kang, Hu Haihui and Chen Guohua stood in front of the car to see Qin Feng off and watched him leave.

Whether it was Chen Guohua or Xie Kang, from the details of how Sun Yuanwei sent Qin Feng off, it can be seen that Sun Yuanwei had willingly boarded Qin Feng's boat.

What puzzled Chen Guohua was what means Qin Feng used to make Sun Yuanwei get on board so readily and willingly. You know, Qi Yaqiu visited Sun Yuanwei three times but failed to get him on board.

Chen Guohua couldn't figure this out, but Qin Feng knew very well why Qi Yaqiu failed.

People in this circle may talk about ideology and sentiment all the time, but in fact, they are all ordinary people who value interests the most.

The reason why Qi Yaqiu failed to invite Sun Yuanwei was because Qi Yaqiu did not give Sun Yuanwei enough benefits or enough political confidence.

Sun Yuanwei could neither gain immediate benefits nor see long-term benefits in the future by following Qi Yaqiu. In this case, why should he take such a big risk and follow Qi Yaqiu into the political vortex of Shazhou?
