Chapter 96: People Power: Confidence Rises
Qi Tongwei quickly convinced Pei Qianqian to be his agent.
Firstly, the agent is relatively free and can accompany her more often; secondly, she can use this opportunity to visit the United States and gain some experience, thus laying the foundation for her future entrepreneurship.
Although Qi Tongwei is an extreme nationalist, he has to admit that Chinese companies are still far behind China and there are indeed things worth learning from China's companies.
Pei Qianqian did learn something from going to Ugly Country.
Qi Tongwei came to the provincial capital this time not only for his personal matters, but also for official business.
After deciding to publish the book, he handed over the coordination work to Pei Qianqian and went to see Gao Yuliang himself.
Qi Tongwei has always respected his teacher.
In his previous life, it can be said that everyone else let him down, but he did not. No matter what kind of environment he faced, he always found ways to push himself to the top.
Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he has nothing to say about himself.
When Gao Yuliang saw Qi Tongwei coming, he stood up to greet him personally and invited him into the living room.
"Tongwei, when did you come?" Gao Yuliang asked while pouring tea.
“I arrived yesterday. Three of my works will be published in the Ugly Country. Today I signed a contract with the editor-in-chief from the Ugly Country.
Oh, where are the teacher's wife and Fangfang?" Qi Tongwei took the tea poured by Gao Yuliang, "Thank you, teacher!"
"Fangfang went to the capital, and Teacher Wu went to see her off!
Your work will be published in Ugly Country, tell me about it now! " Today, Ugly Country is a beacon, and even Teacher Gao is no exception when talking about Ugly Country.
Qi Tongwei then told him about the contract, and then changed the subject: "Teacher Gao, I came to visit you this time to ask for your help. Do you have any friends in the bank?"
Gao Yuliang asked in surprise: "Bank, what do you want to do with the bank?"
"Teacher, I am currently the Party Secretary of Shuanghe Town, which is one of the poorest places in Handong.
Most of the previous leading cadres had no intention of developing this place. They only wanted to make a quick buck and leave, which resulted in many infrastructures remaining at the level before liberation.
Especially the roads, many places are still not open to traffic, and cash crops grown in the fields cannot be transported out.
People lived in extreme poverty, and there were even cases where a whole family of children had to share one pair of cotton trousers.
After I took office, I recovered more than 500 million yuan in stolen money and barely started a town-wide road maintenance project.
But other places still lack funds for development, so I want to seek a bank loan." This is also one of the purposes of Qi Tongwei's visit to the province.
Although Gao Yuliang wanted to help Qi Tongwei, he really didn't have any connections in this regard. He suggested: "You should go to Professor Huang for this matter. Aren't you studying economics with him? Have you told him about the difficulties you encountered?"
"I mentioned it briefly, but didn't go into detail. I plan to visit Professor Huang after I finish my time here with you."
"Professor Huang is an authoritative expert in the field of economics. He is also an expert in the Policy Research Office of Handong Province. There are great benefits in learning from him. You must seize the opportunity." Gao Yuliang reminded Qi Tongwei to attach importance to his relationship with Professor Huang.
"Teacher, I understand. By the way, have you decided on your next move?" Qi Tongwei turned the topic to Gao Yuliang.
"He has been tentatively appointed as the political commissar of the Luzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau." Gao Yuliang said in a flat tone, and no emotion could be detected from his words.
"Political Commissar, isn't that the director?" Qi Tongwei remembered that in his previous life, Gao Yuliang went directly from the provincial level to the local level to serve as the director of the Luzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. How did he change now?
"The director will retire in two years. Secretary Liang wants me to serve as the political commissar for two years." Gao Yuliang is quite satisfied with this position.
When he was suddenly asked to take charge, he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to do a good job.
Qi Tongwei then realized that it was only 1994, and his teacher in the previous life should have been imprisoned in 1996. This time, he was probably imprisoned early because of the Gao Renfei case.
Then they talked about some topics about work, life and family.
Gao Yuliang is worthy of being a professor. Even though he has lived two lives, Qi Tongwei can still gain a lot from his conversation, which also makes him realize that he still has a lot to learn.
After saying goodbye to Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei did not delay and went straight to find Professor Huang.
Qi Tongwei came to Professor Huang's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Professor Huang's voice came from inside.
Qi Tongwei pushed open the door and walked in, "Teacher Huang, I'm here to see you."
"Oh? It's Tongwei. Please sit down." Professor Huang put down the pen in his hand and pointed to the chair opposite.
After Qi Tongwei sat down, Professor Huang asked, "I have read the homework you mailed to me. There are some things that I didn't even expect. However, your basics are still a little weak. You need to consolidate your foundation next."
Qi Tongwei nodded, "Okay, Teacher Huang."
He was very aware of his shortcomings in economics, which was that his theory was not solid and he did not know how to use the insights he gained from his rebirth.
When answering questions, he would always inadvertently incorporate the views of later generations, so his answers were somewhat ahead of their time. No wonder the professor said he hadn't thought of it either.
"You have been the township party secretary for more than three months. Can you tell us about your views and understanding of the township economy?" Professor Huang never misses any opportunity to teach.
Qi Tongwei then explained his understanding. His main point was that the impact of township economy on rural economy is an important part of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.
Professor Huang affirmed his views, but also made some suggestions.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei explained the situation in Shuanghe Town to Professor Huang in detail and expressed his request for a loan.
After listening to me, Professor Huang thought for a moment and said, "You have a senior brother who is the credit director in the Provincial Agricultural Bank, in charge of lending. I can introduce him to you.
However, he was not familiar with Shuanghe Town, so if he wanted to get a loan, he would have to conduct an on-site inspection.
At the same time, you need to have industrial projects. In addition, I suggest you also consider attracting investment.”
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huang. I will try to follow your advice. As for attracting investment, I'm afraid we have to build the infrastructure first, otherwise no one will come."
"That's not necessarily the case. Some successful entrepreneurs think more about things. Giving timely assistance is the most valuable. I think as long as you do it, you will always gain something," Professor Huang reminded.
"I understand, thank you for your guidance." Qi Tongwei said gratefully.
"How about this, you don't go to see your senior brother. I will go to Shuanghe Town with him next week to conduct a field investigation." Professor Huang thought for a while and said.
"Thank you so much. I will definitely prepare well." Qi Tongwei said excitedly.
After thanking Professor Huang, Professor Huang then explained some economic knowledge to him, and the two chatted until the sun set.
After chatting with Professor Huang, Qi Tongwei felt that his thoughts became much clearer.
He decided to go back and study the relevant policies carefully, find suitable projects and partners, and do a good job in the welcoming work, and he was determined to get some support projects and loans.
Qi Tongwei had to return after staying in Jingzhou for three days. As the head of a township, there was too much work for him to do.
Originally Pei Qianqian was going to come with him, but then he received a call from her parents, asking him to return to Han River immediately, and he didn't know what the call was.
The two could only say goodbye reluctantly and go home separately.
As soon as he set foot on the land of Shuanghe, Qi Tongwei saw a series of moving pictures.
Everywhere you look you can see farmers working, trying to use all their strength to build bridges and roads as quickly as possible. It is rare to see anyone trying to cheat or slack off.
From them, one can feel a power, an uplifting power, which is the spiritual power that makes them eager to change their living conditions.
Qi Tongwei was also shocked by this power. At this moment, he felt that he should re-examine the power of the peasant masses.
He believed that if he used them well, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish. He had never been so confident.
Before, Qi Tongwei always felt that he was a reborn person with a unique vision. He would definitely be able to develop Shuanghe, and he firmly believed that he could develop it, but he didn't know when he could realize this dream.
After seeing the performance of the masses today, he still holds the same view that Shuanghe will definitely develop and will develop even better.
He believed that this time would not be too far away and that no force could defeat the hardworking people of Shuanghe.
