Reborn since 1993

Chapter 866: He who knows the current affairs is a hero
Even though he knew that Yao Zhengru had brought in Dongling Hi-Tech for help, Peng Huaizhi still wanted to give it another try.

The reason why Old Peng has been able to remain standing in Qilu for so many years must be due to the support of his old leaders.

Even if he didn't beat Yao Zhengru, he had to at least flex his muscles and let Yao Zhengru and everyone in Quancheng know that Peng Huaizhi was not someone to be trifled with. That way, even if he lost, he could bargain and gain some chips so that he wouldn't lose everything!
After hearing what Peng Huaizhi said, Bai Xiangyi was silent for a moment. Being in the official career, he was most sensitive to the wind vane. And now, he felt that the wind in Quancheng seemed to be changing!

Looking at Peng Huaizhi in front of him, Bai Xiangyi realized for the first time that this local tyrant who had been dominating Quancheng for decades might not be able to suppress Yao Zhengru, the dragon from across the river. The other party had too many heels and trump cards!
……

"Sister Xue!"

Peng Huaizhi, carrying two bottles of wine, knocked on the door of a provincial government committee member's family residence. Peng Huaizhi had stayed in Qilu and Quancheng for many years and had connections both high and low, and his biggest backer was the person he visited today.

"It's Huaizhi, come in quickly, Lao Meng hasn't come back yet!"

Sister Xue, who opened the door, was obviously very familiar with Peng Huaizhi and welcomed him in directly. For the Meng family, there were certainly countless people willing to serve them.

But over the years, it was still Peng Huaizhi who was loyal to the Meng family and carried out the Meng family's orders without any compromise, so of course the Meng family and Peng Huaizhi had a very good relationship.

"Not back yet?"

After taking a look at the time, Peng Huaizhi felt somewhat confused. Normally, his old leader should have returned by now.

"Huaizhi, take a seat first. Old Meng will probably be back soon!"

"Then I'm sorry to bother Sister Xue!"

Peng Huaizhi waited for about an hour. He felt a little anxious, but he waited patiently. He also had a vague feeling that something seemed to have happened.

"Bah!"

When the door opened, Peng Huaizhi immediately stood up from the sofa and respectfully called out to a man in his sixties who came in, "Old leader!"

The man was about sixty years old. Although he was old, he did not look old at all and his steps were still steady.

The visitor was not surprised to see Peng Huaizhi, and it was obvious that he already knew about Peng Huaizhi's arrival.

After seeing the man walk into the study, Peng Huaizhi immediately followed him in and asked tentatively, "Old leader, has something happened at the provincial government?"

After hearing what Peng Huaizhi said, the leader surnamed Meng did not say anything, but just looked at Peng Huaizhi, which made Peng Huaizhi feel a little nervous.

"I heard that since Yao Zhengru came to Quancheng, you have been somewhat uncooperative with his work?"

Hearing this suddenly, Peng Huaizhi was stunned for a moment, and then he felt angry, but there were some things that he could do but was absolutely not allowed to say out loud.

"Old leader, I don't know where these rumors came from. I have no complaints about the new leader of Quancheng. There may be some minor disagreements, but they are all for the official business of Quancheng. There is no personal grudge!"

Looking at Peng Huaizhi, leader Meng shook his head and said, "In Quancheng, you should still focus on cooperating with Yao Zhengru. After all, he is the leader of Quancheng!"

"Old leader!"

Peng Huaizhi looked at the person in front of him in astonishment. He could tell that this person was not a joke, but wanted him to admit defeat to Yao Zhengru.

"idiot!"

Seeing that Peng Huaizhi seemed still stubborn and wanted to continue wrestling with Yao Zhengru, the leader surnamed Meng growled at Peng Huaizhi. If Peng Huaizhi was not his confidant, who had been working hard for the Meng family over the years and everyone in Qilu knew that he was his man, the man would not even bother to scold him.

"Do you know who Yao Zhengru is? Do you know what he wants to do? Don't just think about scheming and fighting for power all day long. You should also do something!"

I remembered Yao Zhengru’s proposal at the provincial government meeting today, as well as the projects that the Quancheng Municipal Government will promote next.

Even though Peng Huaizhi was his confidant, the man had to admit that in terms of vision, pattern, courage, etc., Peng Huaizhi was not as good as Yao Zhengru. The sudden scolding made Peng Huaizhi stunned on the spot. Over the years, he could be said to have understood the character of his old leader. His old leader was a person who did not show his emotions. As for the fact that he got angry on the spot, it was the first time that he happened to be angry on the spot, which made Peng Huaizhi a little confused.

Suppressing his anger, the man said to Peng Huaizhi, "It is because I do not contend that no one in the world can contend with me!"

"As long as Yao Zhengru is in Quancheng, you should cooperate with him. He can't stay in Quancheng and Qilu forever. What you need to fight for is the position of the head of Quancheng after Yao Zhengru leaves!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and let Peng Huaizhi leave. It was not his business whether Peng Huaizhi could listen to him or do as he told him.

During the years that Yao Zhengru has been the head of Quancheng, he knows that Peng Huaizhi has no chance.

But in the official career, even if there are differences in political views, as long as they do not become mortal enemies, there is a chance for cooperation!

Once Yao Zhengru makes achievements in Quancheng and gets promoted, Peng Huaizhi will still have the opportunity to take over the position of the head of Quancheng based on his contributions over the years. It is even possible that Peng Huaizhi's career will be further advanced because of the foundation laid by Yao Zhengru!

As for whether Peng Huaizhi can figure all this out, that is Peng Huaizhi's business. If he still insists on pursuing fame and competing for face, then the leader surnamed Meng feels that Peng Huaizhi's career will end here.

If Peng Huaizhi had thought it through, Yao Zhengru's arrival would be an opportunity for him. Even if Yao Zhengru had not come to Quancheng, Peng Huaizhi's chances of getting promoted would not have been particularly great.

Anyway, the Qilu provincial government is inclined to let Yao Zhengru implement his plan in Quancheng, and Yanjing is probably also supportive.

There are sometimes disputes between the Quancheng Municipal Government and the Qilu Provincial Government, but according to Yao Zhengru's plan, Quancheng City Investment will develop, and the Qilu Provincial Government will also be one of the beneficiaries. The resources and funds that can be mobilized in the future will also increase a lot, not to mention the Double Ten Strategy, which can really produce many political achievements!

The next day, Yao Zhengru held a meeting in the Quancheng City Government. When Bai Xiangyi saw Peng Huaizhi, he was shocked. Peng Huaizhi had dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept all night.

"Peng Shi, what are you doing..."

Bai Xiangyi knew that Peng Huaizhi had met with the old leader yesterday, but he was like this today, which made Bai Xiangyi wonder what had happened.

Peng Huaizhi waved his hand and prepared to go in to attend the meeting, but he stopped before entering the door.

"Xiangyi, the Quancheng Investment Promotion Department should cooperate more with Master Yao. The Nichiben Knitting Factory project should be put on hold until the Nichiben Knitting Company has invested all the funds before commencing construction!
The investment promotion department needs to handle this matter properly!"

Peng Huaizhi hinted to Bai Xiangyi to take care of the aftermath of the Nichiben Knitting Factory project. If the Nichiben Knitting Company could receive US$5 million, they could continue with the project.

If the Riben Knitting Company cannot come up with the money, then let Bai Xiangyi take care of the tail. All the gifts received from the public relations company and the broker should be returned, and no tail should be left.

Bai Xiangyi looked at Peng Huaizhi with a turbulent mind. He didn't know what was wrong with Peng Huaizhi. What he said was really beyond his expectation.

Yesterday, Peng Huaizhi vowed to confront Yao Zhengru head-on, but today he seemed to be completely on Yao Zhengru's side. Bai Xiangyi really had no idea what had happened in between!
Today's meeting in the Quancheng City Government is destined to shock Bai Xiangyi, and it may even be a meeting that goes down in the history of Quancheng.

The meeting ended with applause. When they walked out of the meeting room, Bai Xiangyi and other members of the municipal government committee looked at Yao Zhengru, the leader of Quancheng, and Peng Huaizhi, the second most powerful man in Quancheng municipal government, chatting happily like comrades and allies. As they walked out of the meeting room together, they felt a buzzing in their heads.

The government of Quancheng has changed. When Peng Huaizhi fully supported the Quancheng development plan proposed by Yao Zhengru in the meeting just now, Bai Xiangyi understood that Quancheng has officially entered the era of Yao Zhengru!

In addition to Peng Huaizhi's sudden support for Yao Zhengru, Bai Xiangyi was also surprised by Yao Zhengru's proposal to establish Quancheng Urban Investment Group. The emergence of Quancheng Urban Investment Group marked the beginning of a transformation in the development of Quancheng for the entire Quancheng municipal government.

What shocked Bai Xiangyi and even the entire Quancheng municipal government staff even more was the 1 billion RMB project of Chitu electric bicycles under Dongling Hi-Tech!

This was like a thunderclap, exploding in Quancheng and even the entire Qilu. Now Bai Xiangyi understood why Yao Zhengru looked down on the Japanese knitting company he had recruited first. A project of five million US dollars is not small on a normal day, but compared with the Chitu electric bicycle project, it is not even as good as a drop in the ocean.

After the Quancheng Municipal Government Meeting ended, an astonishing piece of news began to spread wildly in Quancheng: Dongling Hi-Tech, the country's largest technology giant, is going to invest 1 billion RMB in a new project in Quancheng!

This news is too explosive for Quancheng, especially in the current situation where the entire Asian region is in a downturn due to the impact of the Southeast Asian economic crisis. A project worth 10 billion RMB is like an earthquake-level project for any region.

You should know that the GDP of the entire Quancheng was only about 60 billion yuan last year, but this money is the result of the production, income and consumption of all companies and people in the entire Quancheng.

You can imagine how great an impact the Chitu electric bicycle project has on the City of Springs!
As soon as the news came out, Yao Zhengru and Dongling Hi-Tech Quancheng Company instantly became the focus of Qilu, and countless people began to become active!
