Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 149: Confrontation at the Standing Committee

After Xiao Jianhua finished speaking, the county magistrate Ma Zhiyuan went on to state that the specific situation should be resolved by the two towns through negotiation, and the county would only be responsible for mediating.

It is clear that he wants political achievements, but he does not want to take responsibility for the consequences.

After the top two leaders finished speaking, Qi Tongwei spoke first, "My request is very simple, Longkou Town should assume its due responsibility and repair the 055 rural road leading to the county seat.

The geographical location of Guying Town is special, and all leaders are aware of this. If the 055 rural road continues to deteriorate, it will be like strangling the throat of Guying Town.

Moreover, the construction of this road will not only benefit Guying Town, but also Longkou Town. A business belt can be created along the way for the merchants traveling back and forth.

And it will be more convenient to transport fruits and vegetables for sale…”

Jiang Chengtao interrupted, "Chief Qi, what you said is wrong. Are you saying that I am short-sighted and cannot see these benefits?

Now it is not that I want to strangle you by the throat, but the economy of this town cannot support this project. There are nine villages in Longkou Town, with a population of 110,000, and few people have enough to eat. Don't we want to develop?

It's not that we don't want to, but we don't have the ability or the machinery. Relying solely on manpower to cut through the mountains and build roads is not a small project. I don't have the right to risk your lives for this.

I have already told the county about my difficulties. Either they wait and build the road slowly, or I promise to widen and harden the rural road within three years.

Either the Lone Eagle Town can provide some support and supplies so that everyone can have enough food and strength, and then there will be no problem on the journey.

Otherwise, as you asked Secretary Xiao to convey, if you can’t wait, you can choose to go to Nanyun.”

As soon as this was said, the Standing Committee members in the meeting room began to discuss the feasibility of this.

However, the standing committee members who were familiar with the situation in Yantai County all shook their heads.

This is equivalent to having two identical roads, one of which is fifty or sixty kilometers longer and also needs to be widened and hardened.

Even if the road in Nanyun Town is better than that in Longkou Town, no matter how you calculate the workload, it is twice as much.

Although Nanyun Town has been carrying out road construction projects in recent years, the current plan is only for a single lane.

After all, there are not so many large four-wheelers nowadays. At most, there are some tractors. There is no need to worry about meeting other vehicles and transportation pressure.

As for the tractor, it was quite adequate.

The reason why Jiang Chengtao dared to say this was that he had figured out Nanyun Town's idea, and the other party couldn't have such a plan now.

What economic belt? It’s all fake.

At least the next seven or eight years will be empty talk.

It's just mining, how many people come and go, and who do they sell the things to?

"Okay, leaders, since Secretary Jiang of Longkou Town does not intend to cooperate for a win-win situation, then my Guying Town will build the road on its own and will never pass through Longkou Town." Qi Tongwei made a harsh statement.

After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, Ma Zhiyuan showed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

Qi Tongwei, Qi Tongwei, I am not forcing you to do this. If something goes wrong, people will only say that you are stubborn and self-righteous instead of blaming me for putting pressure on you.

Ma Zhiyuan knocked on the table and said, "Comrade Xiao Qi, don't be impulsive. We are discussing this. Comrade Cheng Tao, the road still needs to be widened, but Comrade Tong Wei will be responsible for the hardening.

Now, the biggest benefit of repairing the road is still in your Lone Eagle Town. Besides, aren't you going to mine? Once those gravel are laid, it will be almost done. It won't take much time."

"County magistrate, the road from Guying Town to the county seat is nearly 100 kilometers long, and we also need to widen Guyingling Road. We don't even have enough space for ourselves, so how can we take care of Longkou Town?" Qi Tongwei also presented the facts.

If he had discussed this with him earlier, he might have agreed. But now the other party's attitude was so disheartening that he decided to dig a big hole for the other party to fall into.

The county magistrate is so biased that if it really causes the development of Guying Town, it will also hinder his own path to advancement.

Xiao Jianhua knew it was his turn to make his debut, so he asked his secretary to take out the map of Yantai County and said, "Look, from the map, Township Road 055 runs through Longkou Town.

The construction of this road is of great significance. The entire Yantai County is opened up and runs across the north and south.

If we change the route to Nanyun Town, it will be difficult, and the road to Longkou Town will still have to be built in the future."

"If we reject this plan now, Longkou Town may not be able to enjoy the benefits brought by Guying Town when it is built in the future." Xiao Jianhua sighed, stood up and pointed to the connecting road section of about ten kilometers between Guying Town and Longkou Town, "Because this section of road will be abandoned.

So I hope you two will consider it carefully, the difficulties are temporary, but the benefits are long-lasting. "

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if Lone Eagle Town wants to prosper, one mine alone can solve most of the problems.

With Qi Tongwei's background, if he can do something else, development is just around the corner.

Now Longkou Town wants to blackmail and get some benefits to supplement itself.

Everyone is happy when they get it.

If the other party is really stubborn, and in the future the people in Guying Town can eat meat while those in Longkou Town cannot even have a bite of soup, the people will curse Jiang Chengtao to death.

Jiang Chengtao laughed. Qi Tongwei's "harsh words" made him believe that Qi Tongwei was just bluffing.

Change route?

As far as he knew, Qi Tongwei signed a three-year contract with Longteng.

If we were to build Nanyun Town, it would take at least two years to complete.

It is impossible for the people not to produce. Just take building roads as an example. There are only a few months of free time in a year, so it is not easy to build them.

Not to mention the lack of tools.

“Secretary Xiao, leaders, everyone knows that Longkou Town has no money.

Besides, it is winter now, making it very difficult to start construction.

Originally, I did not agree with building the road.

But since the county has spoken, I will give in. I will be responsible for widening the road, and Lone Eagle Town will be responsible for paving and hardening the road.

If that doesn’t work, then there’s nothing I can do.”

Ma Zhiyuan added: "Comrade Tongwei, what is your opinion?"

Qi Tongwei sighed, then smiled and shook his head: "This morning, County Magistrate Ma told me that I am the chief officer of Guying Town, and if Guying Town is not developed, it is my problem.

Now I would like to borrow the words of County Magistrate Ma to reply to Secretary Jiang. I am only responsible for Guying Town, and you should be responsible for the 110,000 people in Longkou Town.

The issue of Longkou Town's development is something that you, Secretary Jiang, should consider. Since you have difficulties, I understand. Our town can only proceed from its own interests and change its course.

That’s all I have to say. I, Qi Tongwei, will be responsible for any consequences. If Lone Eagle Town cannot develop, I will resign.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Immediately, a member of the Standing Committee began to rebuke him, "Qi Tongwei, you need to put yourself in the right position.

This is no joke, and Lone Eagle is not a stake on your table.

It would be a small matter for you to resign, but for bringing Lone Eagle Town to an irreparable state, even execution would be a light punishment."

The person who spoke was the Minister of Armed Forces Jiang Peng, who was said to be related to Jiang Chengtao.

This statement seemed more like an attempt to shift the responsibility for the lack of development of Guying Town onto Qi Tongwei.
