Chapter 149 Next Step: Jinghai
Office of Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee.
Qi Tongwei sat upright, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands, quietly waiting for Secretary Li's instructions.
I was also wondering where I would go next.
"Tongwei, you have done an excellent job in Ninghai. The provincial party committee is very satisfied with you."
Secretary Li Baoguo smiled with satisfaction, and then continued: "Ninghai has just been put on the right track under your leadership. We shouldn't let you leave at this time. However, the Provincial Party Committee has more important tasks for you to undertake."
His voice was low and serious, revealing an unshirkable sense of responsibility.
Qi Tongwei did not hesitate at all and immediately replied: "Secretary Li, please rest assured that I will follow your arrangements. I will go wherever you ask me to go. No matter where I go, I will do my best and live up to your and the organization's expectations."
In fact, Qi Tongwei knew that this was nonsense. His new position had probably been determined long ago and he had no chance to choose.
This was also said to leave a good impression in front of Secretary Li Baoguo.
Secretary Li Baoguo nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Qi Tongwei would not let him down.
So he directly announced the organization's decision: "We are going to transfer you to Jinghai City to serve as the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
"Jinghai? The Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau?" Qi Tongwei asked in surprise. Could it be that he had to go back to the old path of his previous life and couldn't leave the public security post.
“Yes, it’s Jing Hai.
Some time ago, I went to Jinghai for research and received an anonymous letter of complaint, which contained a photo of the municipal party secretary He Liming, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and some public security personnel playing on a yacht.
Although one photo cannot tell the whole story, it is also questionable.
Since the reform and opening up, the social security in Jinghai has been poor, and the economy lags behind other urban areas. I suspect this is directly related to certain party members and cadres.
"You have done a great job in the campaign against organized crime in Ninghai County, so I would like to transfer you to Jinghai City to serve as deputy mayor and director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Based on the campaign against organized crime, you will find out the protective umbrellas behind the underworld and restore peace to the people," Li Baoguo explained.
"Secretary Li, I will firmly obey your orders and the orders of the Provincial Party Committee." Qi Tongwei stood up and guaranteed.
“Sit down and talk. I believe in your ability, but Jinghai and Ninghai are different.
In Ninghai, you have absolute authority and can work according to your own ideas. But Jinghai is different. There will be many constraints. You must be prepared to dance on the edge of a knife. "Li Baoguo reminded.
"Secretary Li, I understand. I will be careful." Qi Tongwei nodded to show that he understood.
After that, the two chatted for a while until someone came to find them, and then Qi Tongwei said goodbye.
After leaving the office of Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee, Qi Tongwei went directly to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. He had a schoolmate who worked in the Organization Department, and he wanted to find her to learn about the situation of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee team.
He had never worked in Jinghai in his previous life, and he didn't know much about Jinghai. He only knew that Zhao Lidong, a distant cousin of Secretary Zhao Lichun, had served as the mayor of Jinghai.
The connection between officials and businessmen in Jinghai City is very close, and the two sides should have deep interests. Gao Xiaoqin's real estate project wanted to move into Jinghai, but after three months of investigation, she announced that she would give up.
Logically speaking, since Zhao Ruilong has a share in the real estate project, it should not be a problem for him to move into Jinghai, but it failed to materialize, which shows the xenophobia of this place.
This can no longer be explained by local protectionism.
He remembered very clearly that it was because of the Jinghai Construction Group that Gao Xiaoqin decided to withdraw from Jinghai. The chairman seemed to be named Gao Qiqiang, and it was said that he started out as a fishmonger.
Later, he also investigated this person. Like him, he came from a humble background, but was able to seize the opportunity to rise rapidly and eventually became the underground boss of Jinghai City.
He was just preparing to meet Gao Qiqiang and win him over, but unexpectedly Hou Liangping landed in Handong and launched the anti-corruption campaign. He was unable to take care of himself and had no chance to meet Gao Qiqiang.
If he were to come back to this world, he would like to meet Gao Qiqiang.
Unfortunately, Qi Tongwei went there because his junior sister happened to be out inspecting personnel, so he had to find another opportunity.
……
"Tongwei, where does Secretary Li want you to go next?" As soon as Qi Tongwei stepped into the house, he was questioned by Pei Qianqian.
"I'm going to Jinghai City to serve as deputy mayor and director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Qi Tongwei answered honestly without hiding anything.
"Why is it Jinghai? I thought you could stay in Jingzhou." Pei Qianqian was not very happy. He didn't want to be separated from Qi Tongwei.
"I'm sorry, honey. I..."
"Don't say sorry. No matter what, I will follow you to Jinghai this time. It's not good for the child's growth if the father is away from him for a long time." Pei Qianqian interrupted him.
"Qianqian, this job is different from the previous ones. I have a special mission to eliminate gangsters and evil.
You and the child cannot go, I am worried that someone will take risks and threaten the safety of you and your son." Qi Tongwei walked over and hugged Pei Qianqian tightly, comforting her gently.
"Tongwei, can you not go to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil?" Pei Qianqian said worriedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Qi Tongwei scratched Pei Qianqian's nose and continued, "Don't worry about my safety. Your husband will definitely send those gangsters to prison in a year. By then, it won't be too late for you and your son to come to Jinghai to accompany me.
Besides, you now have an important task, which is to deal with the Internet bubble I mentioned a few days ago. "
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, they immediately diverted Pei Qianqian's attention.
"Internet bubble? Tongwei, can you tell me more about it?"
“Qianqian, everyone knows that the Internet is the next economic outlet, but it has been difficult to find a profitable point. Although I don’t understand economics very well, I understand human nature.
Those ruthless guys on Wall Street have been investing in the Internet since 1993, but have seen no profits. Will they continue to do so?
I don't think so. Based on my understanding of them, most of them will choose to cash out at a high amount, letting investors bear the losses, and then wait for the Internet to hit bottom before they buy again.
In this way, they can not only make a lot of money, but also have a lot of shares. Do you think they will do this?" Qi Tongwei explained.
"Tongwei, how far away do you think this time will be?" Qi Tongwei's economic predictions have been very accurate over the years, and Pei Qianqian trusts him very much.
“It won’t be too far away, most likely within this year.
Therefore, I think we can start now and gradually reduce ICQ's shares until we sell it.
Of course, there are also the Internet company stocks we bought a few years ago. They should have increased by more than ten times now, so it’s time to sell them.” Qi Tongwei thought for a while and said.
Pei Qianqian nodded in agreement. The market value of the Internet company stocks they currently hold is about 300 billion US dollars. If they really encounter a bubble, the losses will be huge.
Thinking of this, Pei Qianqian couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
Qi Tongwei understood his wife's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we still have plenty of time. If we start selling stocks now, we can not only avoid losses, but even make a profit."
He paused and continued, "After all the stocks are sold, I can choose a suitable time to short sell and make a lot of money. It would be a waste if I didn't make money from the ugly countrymen. Our chip industry needs a lot of capital investment."
She took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I'll take care of the business matters, but what should Baoer do during this period of time?"
She and Qi Tongwei were not at home, only the maid stayed, and she was not very worried about her son.
"Send the child to Hanjiang and let my mother-in-law help take care of him for a while." Qi Tongwei thought for a while and said.
Pei Qianqian nodded and had no choice but to do so.
