Chapter 677 Wen Qiang
Xu Lian said: "If you want Zhao Sanben to change the script, I think we can only ask the relevant leaders in the province to coordinate.
After all, Zhao Sanben still has a certain influence in our provinces and is a guest of many provincial and ministerial leaders. At our current level, we may not be able to have a say."
Zhu Hongwen was bound to refute Xu Lian's suggestion.
"This is too troublesome, and even if the provincial government intervenes, it may not be effective. Even if Zhao Sanben agrees, China Power will not agree. I think we have to start with China Power."
Xu Lian said: "This has little to do with CLP. The script is in the hands of Zhao Sanben. As long as he can make subtle changes so that CLP can't find any fault, that's all that's fine.
Beishan is, after all, an old industrial city that the country is focusing on. At this special time, even if China Power doesn't support it, I don't think it will oppose it."
Zhu Hongwen sneered, "If it were that simple, wouldn't the Spring Festival Gala be a place for Zhao Sanben to make a fortune?
And once this bad precedent is set, the impact will be extremely bad. Will other programs copy it? Will other provinces follow suit? Will the Spring Festival Gala then become just an advertising platform?"
As the two were arguing, Qi Tongwei spoke up, "Comrade Hong Wen does have some truth to it, but dealing with Zhongdian is too difficult. I think we still have to find a way through Zhao Sanben."
China Power has already involved the Central Propaganda Department, and it is definitely not something that these deputy mayors alone can handle. In the end, it will become Qi Tongwei's business.
If he still has to step in to handle it, then what's the point of bothering himself? He might as well seek help from the Zhong family directly.
The Zhong family is his key political resource, how could he waste it in such a situation?
Zhu Hongwen was stunned for a moment, then quickly changed his mind and followed Qi Tongwei's words: "Of course, taking care of Zhongdian is definitely the safest way, but it does take time and effort. We don't have enough time, so we can only work on Zhao San himself, but this is likely to leave hidden dangers."
Qi Tongwei said without worry: "This involves the exploration of reform. It is an exploration for us and also an opportunity for reform and exploration for China Power.
How can we find a win-win-win opportunity from this, with CEC generating revenue, local governments gaining traffic, and actors receiving rewards? This exploration is risky, including politically, but I believe the risks are manageable and we can boldly experiment.”
Zhu Hongwen pondered for a moment, "In that case, I can be of some help."
Qi Tongwei asked: "Comrade Hong Wen, do you have any good suggestions?"
Zhu Hongwen smiled slightly: "Mayor, I wonder if you have ever heard the saying, 'If you have any questions after crossing the Han River, come to me.'"
Qi Tongwei said: "This Ben San you are talking about is not Zhao Sanben, right?"
"Yes, that's him. Everyone knows he's a household name, but few know his political influence.
It can be said that in several northern provinces, including our Hanjiang, his name is well-known in both the black and white circles. As Comrade Xu Lian said, he is a guest of many provincial and ministerial leaders.
Qi Tongwei interrupted, "I'm not interested in these things. I won't judge his historical background. I just want to know how to get him to add this slogan to our Beishan and bring traffic to our Beishan."
Zhu Hongwen said: "Okay, then I won't keep you in suspense.
In fact, Zhao Sanben has such a reputation precisely because he has many friends.
It just so happens that I know someone who is quite familiar with Zhao Sanben. If I go through this middleman, I think there is still a chance to reach a cooperation with Zhao Sanben."
Qi Tongwei asked: "What's the name of the person you're talking about?"
Zhu Hongwen said: "Wen Qiang, deputy director of the Public Security Department of Hanjiang Province."
"Wen Qiang?"
"Yes, they have a good personal relationship. I think we can use this as a breakthrough point."
Qi Tongwei looked at Xu Lian, who took over and said, "Then I'll contact this Wen Qiang."
Zhu Hongwen smiled and said meaningfully, "Comrade Xu Lian, this Deputy Director Wen is not easy to deal with. Can you handle it?"
Xu Lian said confidently: "I have some connections in the province, so I think it should be fine."
Qi Tongwei pointed at Xu Lian and said, "Okay, Old Xu, I'll leave it to you. You must hurry up. I remember that they usually start preparing for the Spring Festival Gala very early. At this point, time must be very tight. Try to finalize this within half a month."
Xu Lian agreed: "Okay."
After the matter was finalized, Xu Lian and Jiang Hua sat for a while and then left one after another.
Zhu Hongwen then found an opportunity to talk about Chen Yilong's problem, while observing Qi Tongwei's expression.
Qi Tongwei has been concentrating on the documents in front of him, with a calm expression, as if he has no extra expression on this matter.
There is no need to think about it, Xiao Long must have reported it to the other party.
Only after Zhu Hongwen mentioned the price Chen Yiwen was willing to pay did Qi Tongwei put down the pen he was reviewing the documents.
"Chen Yiwen is quite generous. He donated three million to our city government and eight schools. That's almost six million in total."
Zhu Hongwen nodded and said, "I have it. For Chen Yiwen, it is half of the family fortune."
Qi Tongwei sighed, "What a deep brotherly love."
Zhu Hongwen asked quietly, "So, you agree?"
Qi Tongwei did not answer, but instead asked Zhu Hongwen, "Comrade Hongwen, have you seen Chen Yilong's case file?"
Zhu Hongwen replied truthfully: "I haven't had time to answer this question yet. Chen Yiwen came to me last night to plead for mercy, and that's when I learned about this."
Qi Tongwei said: "Then you should take the time to go and take a look. Also, I won't ask about these trivial matters. You decide."
Zhu Hongwen didn't understand why Qi Tongwei asked him to look at the case file, but he knew that the other party had let him go.
After leaving the office, Zhu Hongwen did not return to the office, but immediately left the government building and went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
He knew the mayor and he would never say such a thing for no reason.
Upon receiving the news, Qiu Haiquan personally greeted the other party and welcomed him into the office. After the pleasantries, Zhu Hongwen said he wanted to know more about Chen Yilong's case.
Qiu Haiquan said with a hint of embarrassment: "Director Xiao is in charge of this case. Should I... ask him to come over?"
Zhu Hongwen was deeply moved. This was the power of the mayor. As a deputy mayor, he had to inform his subordinate deputy director first if he wanted to review the information.
Moreover, another deputy director who belongs to the same system did not even understand the power of the case. How domineering.
Zhu Hongwen explained the situation and said, "Mayor Qi asked me to come here. Please hand over this case to Comrade Xiao Long. From now on, you will be in charge."
Qiu Haiquan's face changed. There was no trace of happiness at gaining power, but rather deep worry.
Everyone knows that Chen Yilong is full of flaws and this guy cannot stand the scrutiny.
The case was handed over to me, but in the end the person was released from my hands. Doesn't that mean I am taking the blame for no reason?
If the higher-ups want to overturn the verdict, he will be dragged in.
He understood this principle, and Zhu Hongwen understood it too.
Since Qi Tongwei did not give any instructions, Zhu Hongwen had to take the blame. Qi Tongwei also would not give any clear instructions, so the blame would ultimately fall on the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in front of him.
Qiu Haiquan had to take the blame, otherwise, not to mention Zhu Hongwen, even Chen Yiwen would not let him go.
