"Closed? What's the reason? Is it because of the poor quality of the wine or sales problems?"

"Neither. In fact, the quality of the wine is very good. In the past two years, it has achieved good sales results in several nearby cities and counties."

"How could that happen?"

He Yaohua glanced at the driver again and hesitantly said, "I just don't know why he fell down."

Qi Tongwei immediately understood who this driver was most likely, and he was trying to gather information, so He Yaohua didn't dare to say anything.

【View】Zhang Dahai, Status: Opposition

Check-in progress: 0

Background: The current Hekou County magistrate is Li Fenfang.

Knowing the reason, Qi Tongwei stopped asking questions and lay down in the car with his eyes closed to rest.

The car arrived at Luojiaping Village while shaking.

Qi Tongwei asked Zhang Dahai to wait outside, and he went to the winery with his new secretary and He Yaohua.

The winery is quite large, covering a full 400 acres, and is backed by the Beijiang River.

Building a winery in Hekou County is indeed a good choice. Both rice and wheat are grown here, and the annual output is not low.

With the decline in grain prices in recent years, it is no longer enough to rely solely on farming. Converting grain into high-value liquor is also a way of adapting to local conditions.

Chapter 202: The Frustrated Former Executive

Bayou Winery.

At the gate, an old man was taking a nap on a bamboo bed.

Thunderous snoring came one after another.

He Yaohua knocked gently on the iron door to wake the old man up.

The old man asked happily, "Hey, are you here to rent a house or a factory?"

"Let's wait and see."

"Look, okay, fifty cents each." The old man stretched out his hand.

He Yaohua readily took out two yuan and said, "Uncle, no need for change."

"Hey, you're great, young man. Okay, go ahead and look around." The old man opened the door.

Only then did a few people pass through the iron gate and enter.

Looking at the empty factory building, it was overgrown with weeds.

He Yaohua sighed, "I didn't expect that the winery that was so glorious two years ago has become like this now."

Qi Tongwei didn't have time to listen to the other party's sigh and stepped in.

He Yaohua hurried to catch up.

On both sides of the winery are six huge factory buildings arranged neatly.

It is divided into water room, cellar, koji room, granary, and finished product warehouse. In front of the six factory buildings, near the right side of the gate, there is a three-story building.

It used to be an office. I can still vaguely hear voices. When I look up, I see a figure floating around.

"What's going on there? Didn't they say they would stop production?"

"It's a long story. They rented a house nearby."

Qi Tongwei nodded, thinking that the factory workers were self-sufficient, and did not ask any more questions.

The entire factory area is indeed not small. It took Qi Tongwei more than 20 minutes to take a quick look around.

It is now completely empty, without any equipment, save for the cellars that prove this was once a winery.

Qi Tongwei looked at He Yaohua, "There is no one else here, so now let's talk about the real reason. Why did such a big factory collapse so easily?"

"You really have a keen eye." He Yaohua smiled bitterly, "This matter should be blamed on Secretary Nan of the County Party Committee..."

It turned out that when Secretary Nan saw that the momentum was gaining momentum, he replaced the person in charge of the winery with his own person, his brother-in-law He Wei.

But He Wei was a fool who had no idea how to run a business. Not only did he offend customers, he also owed farmers money for wheat and rice. In the end, Wang Xiaoer's New Years were getting worse and worse every year.

Later, Qi Tongwei's predecessor, in a fit of anger, sued the Municipal Party Committee. Although the Municipal Party Committee sent people to investigate, the final conclusion was only attributed to poor management.

"I see." Qi Tongwei asked again, "Have the farmers' accounts been settled?"

"It hasn't been settled yet. To be honest, even the equipment in the winery was sold off by He Wei."

“What about the people’s money?”

He Yaohua pointed to the small office building in front and said, "So they occupied it and rented it out. The old man at the door is one of them."

Qi Tongwei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the gatekeeper was so happy to see him and his companions. "How much do you owe in total?"

"If converted into money, it's almost 70,000 yuan."

"The county can't possibly not have this little money, why not pay it?"

It is now 1994, the economy is booming, and being a millionaire is no longer a myth.

Seventy thousand yuan is a drop in the bucket for the county government.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, but the account book has disappeared, and the county doesn't recognize the records in the hands of the people. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of concealment or deliberate falsification, but it's hard to tell now."

"This is really a confusing account." Qi Tongwei shook his head.

"By the way, what do you think of the situation in our county?"

He Yaohua knew that Qi Tongwei was referring to the two top leaders.

"A raccoon dog of the same kind."

He Yaohua commented, "The entire Hekou County is actually controlled by Secretary Nan. Although Li Fenfang is unwilling to do so, she can only keep a low profile.

Plus, she doesn’t have much ability, otherwise I, the office director, would have been replaced long ago.”

He Yaohua is more like a person used by Nanshu to disgust Li Fenfang, otherwise He Yaohua should have been demoted to the position of town mayor or township party secretary, and would not have stayed in the county for more than ten years.

"What factions are there in our county committee?" Qi Tongwei said bluntly.

He Yaohua was also surprised, but then he was secretly happy. The clearer the leader explains to you, the more he trusts you.

"As far as I know, among the county party committee standing committee members, apart from the head of the People's Armed Forces Department who does not take charge of affairs, there is only Li Fenfang, the county magistrate who has no real power.

The others are either from Nanshu or have become yes-men.”

After all, in China's organizational structure, the power of the county party secretary means that one person controls personnel, financial, and decision-making power, and his power content even exceeds that of the municipal party secretary.

Except for the lack of army and diplomacy, it is actually an independent small kingdom.

And he is the king of the small kingdom.

Unfortunately, such a corrupt king led to the gradual decline of the kingdom.

Calculating his age, Nanshu is 53 years old, and there are still three years left in this class.

Qi Tongwei couldn't wait for the other party to retreat to the second line and let this old cow waste his three years of time in vain.

If the other party is smart, then it's good for you, me and everyone. But if they dare to trip him up and block his progress, he will kick the stone away.

In the next few days, Qi Tongwei inspected everywhere, focusing on places in the county where hotels could be built.

The county seat of Hekou County can be described as old, dilapidated and small. The main part is still the old town from more than ten years ago, with narrow and damp streets.

The streets and alleys are full of potholes, and fish are raised everywhere when it rains.

It’s not that no one has suggested building a new city, but the county doesn’t have the money.

Without money there can be no development, and without development there will be even less money.

It has fallen into a vicious circle. If it continues like this, Hekou County will become a poor county in a few years.

At that time, Hekou County had only two million in its account.

If it were a few years ago, we could still do something, but now two million is not enough to develop a township.

This made Qi Tongwei even more determined to get rid of this old cow.

...

Time flies and it is September 30th.

That day, Qi Tongwei came to the office early to prepare.

As soon as I sat down, Li Fenfang walked in.

"Comrade Tongwei, I heard that you haven't chosen a secretary yet. Would you like me to recommend a comrade to you?"

Qi Tongwei was stunned. What did the other party mean? Everyone knows that secretaries are the closest people to leaders, so they are very cautious in selecting people.

How could you possibly accept the other party's opinions? That would just expose yourself to your opponent.

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "I have already taken a look at it. I am still investigating it, so you don't need to worry about it."

Li Fenfang nodded, not caring, and continued to ask tentatively: "I heard that you inspected that winery some time ago. Can our winery be saved?"

"It's hard to say. If we want to reopen, we need a lot of money to purchase equipment. I checked the account of our county finance and found that we only have 2 million. It's still very difficult."

Li Fenfang sighed and whispered, "If it weren't for Secretary Nan... Oh, I won't say anymore."

Qi Tongwei raised his eyebrows and immediately understood the woman's intention.

Want to provoke a fight between yourself and the top leader?

Logically speaking, an executive deputy county magistrate has no qualifications to challenge the head of the county party committee.

But the situation in Hekou County is special.

Having forced out two reform generals in a row, if I were to add fuel to the fire, I'm afraid the old secretary would feel bad.

In particular, Qi Tongwei is an outstanding reform pioneer and a general appointed by the province.

If Qi Tongwei falls, all the cadres in Hekou County will be held accountable and transferred by the provincial and municipal governments.

Qi Tongwei sneered secretly.

Although I have this idea, I will never become a knife in the hands of others.

Chapter 203 Construction Plan

Seeing that Qi Tongwei did not continue with her words, Li Fenfang thought that what she said was not obvious enough, and said: "Comrade Tongwei, do you know how that winery collapsed in the first place?"

Qi Tongwei played dumb and said, "I heard it was due to poor management."

Li Fenfang pretended to be meaningful and said, "It must be Comrade He Yaohua who said that."

Qi Tongwei nodded without thinking and sold the other party out.

"That's right. He Yaohua is Secretary Nan's man, so of course he would say that." Li Fenfang looked like a confidant elder sister.

Such behavior is totally inconsistent with the political wisdom of a county head.

Because in Li Fenda's opinion, Qi Tongwei is too young, only 24 years old, holding a high position, at an age when one dares to fight and is impulsive and passionate, but lacks experience.

She might be good at economics, but when it comes to intrigue, she feels she can crush Qi Tongwei.

With this mentality, Li Fenfang said very bluntly, "Do you see why I treat our Director He like that? It's not because I have a personal problem with him, but because he doesn't belong to our county government. His surname is Nan, and he is a spy sent by Secretary Nan."

"County Magistrate Li, you must be joking. We have a republic now, so there are no spies."

Qi Tongwei smiled, not wanting to continue chatting with this silly woman, so he looked at his watch and changed the subject, "By the way, County Magistrate Li, I have an investor coming over to inspect later.

I have called a short meeting with relevant departments, and now the time is almost up, you see…”

"Oh, an investor is coming?" Li Fenfang's eyes lit up. "This is a big deal. Okay, can I go and sit in on it?"

Qi Tongwei was startled and nodded, "No problem, if you are interested."

"Yes, yes, for the development of Hekou County, how can I, as the county magistrate, say I have no interest?"

...

He Yaohua had already made arrangements in the conference room in advance.

Those present included the top two leaders of the county Urban Construction Bureau, the top two leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, as well as the public security, fire department, and 56 other departments.
