1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3151
The grand reception banquet held at the Dinghai Port Naval Base lasted until the end of the month.

No one came to this kind of formal official banquet for drinking and having fun. If he lost his mind after drinking in front of senior officials of the executive committee, it might end his official career.

So when it came to the end of the show, there was basically no staggering from drinking. All the guests lined up at the door to send the executive committee and the party away respectfully.

According to the itinerary, the executive committee will also stay in Zhoushan for two days to inspect the station of the East China Sea Fleet, as well as the local port and trade facilities, and then depart for Hangzhou.

In addition, Chen Yixin, the governor of the northern region, was also on his way from Shandong to Zhoushan, and happened to meet here and then head to Hangzhou together.According to the itinerary he reported, he will arrive at Dinghai Port in one day at the latest.

Shi Diwen was very satisfied with the banquet that had been prepared for a long time. Whether it was the cooperation of several colleagues in the executive committee or the performance of subordinate officials, he was full of face and fully achieved the expected effect.

Although Shi Diwen has been in the East China Sea region for more than 20 years, he has been treated like a local emperor, but his status is still a member of one party. It was not until today that Tao Donglai publicly announced the results of the executive committee election that he has truly become a master. One of the Nine Persons of Imperial Authority.

It took a long time to take this final step from the governor of the district to the members of the executive committee, but Shi Diwen knew that all the waiting and dedication were worth it.

From now on, every word he speaks and every order he gives will not only take effect within the East China Sea region, but may also become a policy implemented nationwide.

However, Shi Diwen was not dazzled by the victory. After returning to his residence, he called Shi Chengwu and Shi Chengxin to the study and asked them to talk about what they had gained and felt today.

Shi Chengwu said: "Although I knew the news of my father's election to the Executive Committee earlier, I didn't really feel it. It was not until Master Tao announced the matter in public today that I finally felt the significance of this place."

Shi Cheng said: "Brother is right. The officials from Sanya, as well as foreign envoys, are also very respectful towards father, which is different from the past."

Shi Diwen smiled and refused to comment on the views of the two brothers.

In the past, when these Beijing officials and foreign envoys came to Donghai Region, they often dealt with Shi Diwen. Although there was no shortage of compliments, they lacked a sense of awe.

It's not that they don't respect Shi Diwen, but that these people are used to staying in Sanya, and they subconsciously think that the consuls of overseas regions are lower than the members of the executive committee. When facing Shi Diwen, their attitudes are natural There will be subtle differences.

Shi Chengwu continued: "Also, many people at today's banquet are eager to try and show themselves in front of the other adults on the executive committee. I think some people may have forgotten who gave them their jobs! "

Shi Diwen said: "Everyone has the desire to make progress. It is human nature to want to attract the attention of the Executive Committee and to strive for a good future for one's official career. As long as you don't intend to step on me to climb up and mess around outside Speaking, don’t worry too much about it.”

Shi Cheng said: "Even if the other adults wanted to know about the situation in the Donghai Region, they probably wouldn't take these people's remarks as their first choice of reference. Tao Hongfang and the others have been here for almost a year, so it's better to compare them to others." Local officials are more reliable."

Tao Hongfang, Ning Zijing, Bai Letong, and Ha Jianyi did not return to Sanya after completing the investigation last year, but stayed in the East China Sea Region to take up temporary positions. There are factors that make them serve as eyes and ears here. .

Shi Diwen also cooperated with Sanya's intention, provided these young people with quite good positions, and gave them the opportunity to get in touch with all aspects of the affairs of the East China Sea region, and passed this special channel to the executive committee. information.

Shi Diwen said in a deep voice: "Tao Hongfang and the others are all trained by various families as successors. Maybe ten or twenty years later, they will succeed their parents and become members of the executive committee. .”

"What kind of views do they have on the East China Sea region and the development of the country? You might as well pay attention to it and communicate with them more often. Their thoughts are probably the thoughts of their parents."

The two brothers looked at each other and quickly bowed in response.

Tao Hongfang and others were trained as successors of power, so why not their two brothers?Now that Shi Diwen has served on the executive committee, they also have the opportunity to obtain the qualifications to join the executive committee in the future by inheriting the power of their parents.

But this also means that if they want to stand on the pinnacle of power, they must also face the situation that Shi Diwen has experienced, and they must stand out from hundreds of competitors.The outstanding figures in the second generation may become their competition targets in the future.

The so-called know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win every battle. What Shi Diwen said was a guide for the two brothers.Competition is not just a matter of one generation, but continues from the parents to their generation.

Of course, if the parents win out from the competition, then they will have to face fewer difficulties in the future.

The two brothers were not stupid, they immediately understood Shi Diwen's intentions, and secretly calculated the depth of their friendship with Tao Hongfang and others.

However, Tao Hongfang didn't expect the role he was playing at this time. He was chatting with his father Tao Donglai about their absence for a year.

Since Tao Hongfang left Sanya last year, he can only communicate with his family through letters and telegrams.The amount of information these means can carry is very limited, and it is difficult to explain his various experiences during this period.

Now I finally waited in the East China Sea region for the Northern Tour of the Executive Committee, so I could chat with my father face to face about how I felt during this time.

"Tell me, in your eyes, what is the difference between the East China Sea Region and Hainan Island?"

Tao Donglai's question was very simple, but Tao Hongfang didn't answer right away. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I think the biggest difference lies in the environment."

"The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions under the jurisdiction of the Donghai Region have always been known as the land of fish and rice. Compared with Hainan Island, the products here are more abundant."

"However, this area has only been officially included in my country's territory in recent years. The influence left by the Ming Dynasty is far greater than that of Hainan Island. Many places still follow the system of the Ming Dynasty. Even Hangzhou, which is positioned as the future Gyeonggi, is not Except, the public still has a lot of resistance to the new system in our country.”

"Baby thinks that if we calculate based on the governance experience of Hainan Island, it will be difficult to achieve results if it doesn't take 20 years."
