Chapter 428 Qi and Zhao Reconciliation
Zhao Lichun started from the grassroots level and did things efficiently and effectively. He found Pei Yihong on the same day and told him his demands truthfully.
Pei Yihong was silent for a moment, then said: "Comrade Lichun, I agree with your suggestion in principle, but I still need Tongwei's consent."
Pei Yihong was not just trying to please Zhao Lichun, he really thought so. He knew that Qi Tongwei was a man with his own opinions, and if he made decisions for him directly, it might affect the relationship between them.
Of course, he also believed in Qi Tongwei's political level, that he could distinguish the pros and cons, and would agree to cooperate with the Zhao family, but he was not prepared to make decisions for the other party.
Zhao Lichun saw that Pei Yihong's attitude did not seem to be perfunctory, and he could not help but look at Qi Tongwei with admiration. It seemed that the other party had become the de facto leader of the Pei family.
"Then please trouble Mr. Pei to call your son-in-law and ask." Zhao Lichun didn't want to delay any further. If he dragged it on, the Zhao family might be completely finished.
Pei Yihong nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will contact Tong Wei as soon as possible. If he agrees, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Zhao Lichun thanked Pei Yihong, then said goodbye and left, leaving the other party space to contact Qi Tongwei as soon as possible.
After Zhao Lichun left, Pei Yihong directly called Qi Tongwei and explained Zhao Lichun's purpose and demands to him in detail.
"Dad, what do you think?" Qi Tongwei asked.
"In my opinion, this matter should be more beneficial than harmful to you overall. Once you reach a settlement with the Zhao family, you will be successful in Handong.
Of course, this matter is mainly up to you. If you really don't want to let the Zhao family go, that's fine." Pei Yihong did not make any mandatory demands or pressure on Qi Tongwei, but gave him full autonomy to choose.
Qi Tongwei was silent for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. Zhao Lichun's proposal was indeed promising, but two people had to go down, namely Qian Huimin and Hou Liangping.
On the one hand, he looked down on these two people and also wanted to take revenge on Hou Liangping. On the other hand, he needed the two of them to vacate their positions so that he could place his own people there.
Thinking of this, he told his concerns to his father-in-law.
"Dad, the Zhao family can leave safely, and they can even leave with legal assets, but Qian Huimin and Hou Liangping must go, and the Zhao family cannot continue to protect these two people." Qi Tongwei put forward his opinion.
"That's no problem. I think the Zhao family will agree." Pei Yihong said with a smile.
Then, the father-in-law and son-in-law discussed some other things.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei began to think about what his father-in-law said on the phone.
The reason why he agreed to Pei Yihong's suggestion and reconciled with the Zhao family was because it was profitable to do so, and of course it was also because of his previous life.
He and Zhao Ruilong had worked closely together in their previous life, so there was still some affection between them.
Besides, the other party's request was not excessive. They just wanted to ensure the safety of the two children. This was not a difficult matter for Qi Tongwei.
After all, Zhao Lichun has been doing business in Handong for many years, so there are many benefits to reconciling with him.
In his previous life, Sha Ruijin took three months to eliminate the "Handa Gang" headed by Gao Yuliang. Li Dakang also surrendered on behalf of the "Secretary Gang". It seemed that he had full control of Handong, but in fact it was not the case.
As a native Handong official, Zhao Lichun has worked in Handong for decades and promoted thousands of people.
The other confidants, due to Sha Ruijin's power, may not say anything, but they must have some thoughts in their hearts.
After the anti-corruption work is completed, we must eventually return to economic development.
Apart from anti-corruption work, Sha Ruijin is not very good in other areas.
Take Sun Liancheng for example. He worked diligently and according to the rules, but just because he offended Chen Yanshi, Sha Ruijin asked him to be demoted three levels.
Li Dakang played to his will and used Sun Liancheng as an example in a training class for lazy government officials, which completely angered the other party, who simply resigned.
Just imagine, if the two successive commanders of the Guangming Peak project (Ding Yizhen and Sun Liancheng) both encountered problems, would the investors below still dare to invest with confidence?
Will other cadres feel sad for the loss of the rabbit?
If he were a very mature politician, he would never have disappointed Sun Liancheng and let him take charge of the development of the Guangming Peak project. Sha Ruijin did not do well in this regard.
Just imagine, the leading cadres promoted by Zhao Lichun all gave Sha Ruijin a cold shoulder. They were respectful on the surface, but procrastinated behind the scenes.
In this way, can Handong's economy develop?
A similar thing happened in Shanxi Province. The provincial party secretary was parachuted in and carried out unprecedented anti-corruption efforts in the province with great force, but the economic development was not effective. The GDP growth rate of Shanxi Province was directly ranked last in the country.
After only two years, the provincial party secretary was transferred and replaced by another leader who was good at economics.
Sha Ruijin's result was not much better than that of the provincial party secretary.
Although Qi Tongwei is also fighting corruption, he will not ignore economic development. After all, the people's survival, employment and development ultimately depend on economic construction.
After Zhao Lichun received Pei Yihong's call, he was silent for a moment, and then agreed directly. For him, sacrificing Qian Huimin and Hou Liangping in exchange for the safety of his family and the continuation of family politics was very worthwhile.
"Xiaohui, you go talk to Qi Tongwei's representative. As long as it's not excessive, just agree to it. Safety is the most important thing now."
Before Zhao Xiaohui finished speaking, Zhao Lichun continued, "I have already promised Pei Yihong that Qian Huimin and Hou Liangping going down is a prerequisite for this negotiation."
"What? Qian Huimin and Liangping are going down?" Zhao Xiaohui raised her voice. Qian Huimin was not important, but Hou Liangping was her lover.
"Yes, this is the premise of this negotiation." Zhao Lichun emphasized. How could he not know the relationship between Zhao Xiaohui and Hou Liangping?
Zhao Xiaohui pondered for a moment, glanced at her father and brother, and then said firmly: "Dad, I know."
Although Hou Liangping can make me happy, he is essentially just a lover of mine. He can't be compared to my relatives. At worst, I can just find someone else.
Zhao Lichun nodded imperceptibly. He was not surprised by his daughter's choice. She has always been the kind of person who knows the big things clearly and would never be trapped by love.
After making the decision, Zhao Xiaohui and Zhao Ruilong returned to Handong the next day.
Qi Tongwei knew about it as soon as the two got off the plane, but he didn't plan to meet the Zhao siblings in person. One reason was that their current status was too different, and the other was for safety reasons.
He finally chose Dudu. This kid was an absolutely loyal master, and he was very confident in Qi Tongwei.
Zhao Xiaohui also knew that Qi Tongwei would not be able to talk to him directly, so he had no objection to Dudu replacing Qi Tongwei.
……
The two parties did not go to Shanshui Group, but went to a very secluded teahouse.
"Director Cheng, you are here. Please take a seat." Seeing Cheng Du coming in, Zhao Xiaohui hurriedly stood up and pulled out a stool.
She knew very well that the degree represented Qi Tongwei, who deserved her respect.
"Thank you, you are so polite. Everyone please take a seat." He sat in a very proper position without putting on airs.
After sitting down, the three of them greeted each other and then got down to business.
Zhao Xiaohui was very generous. She directly pushed a document to Dudu and explained to him: "This is all the companies of our Zhao family in Handong. Today, they are all handed over to our Handong government."
Zhao Ruilong looked at his generous second sister and his heart ached.
Instead of opening the document, he pushed it back and explained, “Our secretary said that the Handong government protects legal and compliant enterprises and welcomes everyone to invest in Handong.
But those companies that violate the rules must be resolutely banned, such as Shanshui Group."
When he came, Qi Tongwei told Dudu that no legal businesses should be touched and that the Zhao family should not be offended completely just for some money. Since they were going to reconcile, they should not let the other party suffer too much, otherwise it would be detrimental to future cooperation.
Zhao Ruilong was in a good mood when he heard Dudu's answer.
Zhao Xiaohui's expression did not change at all. The next negotiation was the key point.
