The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Back in the county town, Gu Jia didn't linger. She drove back to Mingzhou to arrange a detailed plan to take to the board of directors and persuade the shareholders to invest in the expressway in Chunyang County.

She is now a member of the board of directors of Jiajia Group, enjoys the trust of the president, and has a lot of say in the board meetings. She needs to invest in several large projects to prove her strength to the shareholders.

Chen Shi went to work at the county government in the afternoon. There was a lot of work to be done, and he started to get busy.

His next focus will be on acquiring land for highway construction.

The next morning, Chen Shi arrived at his office and, seeing no important news, said to Xie Shanquan, "Notify Director Liu of the Transportation Bureau and Director Bai of the Land and Resources Bureau to come to my office."

Xie Shanquan hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

The approval documents from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Transportation regarding the Chunyang County Expressway have been issued to the county government. This expressway has been officially named the Chunyi Expressway.

With the approval granted, the construction of the expressway can now proceed.

Upon receiving the notification, Liu Feng and Bai Haiping rushed to the county government.

Xie Shanquan walked into Chen Shi's office: "County Chief Chen, Director Liu and Director Bai have arrived."

"Have them come to my office."

Liu Feng and Bai Haiping arrived at Chen Shi's office, where Chen Shi stood up to greet them: "Liu Feng, Director Bai, please sit down."

The person the leader calls by name is definitely a confidant. Bai Haiping glanced at Liu Feng. He was over fifty years old and had only managed to become a section chief with real power, while Liu Feng was so young and could be on equal footing with him. This showed how important it was to follow the right leader.

Then look at Chen Shi. At thirty years old, he was already a deputy director-level official with real power. When he was still a grassroots police officer in Fushan Town, Chen Shi was the director of the Land and Resources Bureau. In just a few years, Chen Shi had already become a deputy director-level official, while Chen Shi was still a section chief, standing still.

It's astonishing how all sorts of strange things can happen within the system. Today's subordinate might become your leader tomorrow or the day after. Anything is possible, especially with young people, who should not be underestimated.

The three sat down in the reception room. Xie Shanquan poured tea for Liu Feng and Bai Haiping, then left the office and closed the door behind him.

Chen Shi said, "The provincial development and reform commission and the transportation department have approved the expressway project. The expressway has been officially named Chunyi Expressway and has been put on the road construction schedule."

The first step in road construction is land acquisition.

Chen Shi looked at Bai Haiping: "Director Bai, your Land and Resources Bureau should coordinate with the Transportation Bureau to determine the nature of the land for the highway construction. In accordance with the county government's land acquisition standards, contact the various townships along the highway and prepare for land acquisition."

Bai Haiping asked, "Chen County, is the construction of the expressway about to officially begin?"

Chen Shi's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Director Bai, do you think I'm just spouting slogans?"

Too many county leaders had wanted to build this highway before, and Bai Haiping had done a lot of useless work, which is why he asked this question. As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had said the wrong thing.

Seeing that Chen Shi was angry, he quickly said, "County Chief Chen, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to confirm with you so that we could start our work."

Liu Feng replied, "Director Bai, our Transportation Bureau has already completed the planning drawings for the expressway, and the land acquisition work can begin at any time."

Chen Shi said solemnly, "Director Bai, I'm giving your Land and Resources Bureau one month to determine the nature of the land, come up with a land expropriation standard plan, and submit it to the county government so that all townships along the route can implement the land expropriation standard."

Bai Haiping mentally scoffed, "What the hell? Do you think you can just build a highway like that? Over 10 billion yuan in investment? Does Chunyang County even have that kind of money?"

This highway wasn't included in Minnesota's economic development plan. Even if your father is the mayor, it won't matter. The city won't allocate more than 10 billion dollars, and the province certainly won't.

Bai Haiping had a premonition that he was doing something pointless again, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the other party was his superior, and he had to do what he was told. Even if he knew it was pointless, he had to do it well. As for Chen Shi's relationship with Zhang Xiangdong, it was just a matter of a word to transfer him to another place.

"Our Land and Resources Bureau will try to determine the nature of the land occupied by the highway within one month."

Chen Shi said in a deep voice, "It's not just about trying, it's about certainty. It must be completed within a month. Construction on this highway must officially begin in June. Anyone who drags their feet will be an enemy of the people of Chunyang County."

Whether Chunyang County can be lifted out of poverty and its people can achieve a moderately prosperous life depends heavily on this highway.

Bai Haiping didn't want to be the first to speak out. He simply did what his superiors told him to do, and said in a deep voice, "Strictly implement Chen County's order and complete the confirmation of land ownership for the highway within one month."

Bai Haiping left the office and went to a meeting in the afternoon to carry out his mission.

Chen Shi kept Liu Feng behind to learn about some details of the highway construction. At noon, he went to the canteen with Liu Feng for lunch.

In the afternoon, Chen Shi called Xu Mo while he was at work.

Chen County

"Director Xu, is Secretary Zhang free this afternoon? I'd like to come and report on my work."

"County Chief Chen, Secretary Zhang has been quite busy lately. If you need to report on your work, I'll make time for you to come over."

Chen Shi arrived at Zhang Xiangdong's office at the county party committee. This was the treatment of a trusted confidant, who could report to the leader at any time.

"secretary"

"Chen Shi, why have you gotten so tanned lately? I heard you've been traveling around doing research with a beautiful female boss. Don't give your political enemies any ammunition about your affairs with women."

Chen Shi sat down: "Thank you for your concern, Secretary. This beautiful boss has a very important background. She is the general manager of Jiajia Group, Mingzhou Jiajia Development Co., Ltd. The construction of the expressway is entirely dependent on her investment."

When conducting research, I always bring a liaison officer with me, precisely to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

"These business owners are all driven by profit. They're willing to invest over 10 billion yuan to build a highway in Chunyang. Tell me about the conditions they've proposed."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Secretary, you have a good eye; you can see through their thoughts at a glance."

Before investing in the construction of a highway, our county must first resolve the issue of land acquisition for the highway project. Only after the land acquisition is completed will we be able to discuss investment matters related to the highway construction.

The investment in the expressway was fully funded by Mingzhou Jiajia Development Co., Ltd., and the operating rights of the expressway were for twenty years. After twenty years, the operating rights would be returned to the Chunyang County Government.

However, they put forward two additional conditions. First, they want 100 acres of land in the Greater Bay Area, to be transferred as industrial land. After the transfer, the nature of the land will be changed to commercial land. Mingzhou Jiajia Development Co., Ltd. wants to develop a commercial area and build residential buildings in the Greater Bay Area, and specifically requires a vacant plot of land in the core area of ​​three key high schools.

Secondly, according to the economic development plan of Chunyang County Government, after the highway is built, a thermal power plant will be built in Laoyan Town.

Gu Jia, the general manager of Mingzhou Jiajia Development Co., Ltd., has connections and can get approval from the provincial government.

The provincial government's smooth approval of this expressway project was also due to her connections.

The thermal power plant will be built by Mingzhou Jiajia Development Co., Ltd.

I like the game of power, starting with the police officers at the local police station.
