Chapter 453 The Way of Being an Official
Because of Qi Tongwei's pre-selection arrangements, those relatives and friends who wanted to plead for mercy were unable to see him, and in the end could only curse behind his back and watch their children being sentenced to prison.
At the same time, under the joint efforts of the public security and procuratorate, the behind-the-scenes protectors of Tiancheng Group were exposed one by one.
Some are as high as the vice-ministerial level executive vice governor and Lincheng City Party Committee secretary, and some are as low as the level of village cadres.
The corruption problem caused by Tiancheng Group made Qi Tongwei realize the urgency of anti-corruption. Take Lu Tao for example, in less than half a year, he had embezzled more than 2 million yuan.
Although economic development is the first indicator, the work of party style and clean government must also be taken seriously.
To this end, Qi Tongwei demanded that the Tiancheng Group be used as an opportunity to crack down on corruption and educate and guide the majority of leading cadres to control themselves.
Although he knew that the effect of doing so would be minimal, Qi Tongwei still asked to do so. After all, it is better to do something than nothing.
Three months later, the Tiancheng Group case officially came to an end.
This case involved hundreds of billions of assets and hundreds of officials, and had a huge impact. Both Zhang Tiancheng and Qi Tonghu were sentenced to death, and the rest were given varying sentences of suspended death sentences, life imprisonment, and fixed-term imprisonment.
With the Tiancheng Group case and the Dafeng Factory case, Handong experienced two anti-corruption earthquakes in less than a year, which indeed created a certain deterrent effect.
"Xiaohua, now that the case is over, tell me about your gains. Do you still want to do business?" Qi Tongwei was talking to his nephew in the study.
"Uncle, the biggest gain is that I see myself clearly." Qi Hua thought for a while and said.
Qi Tongwei asked curiously: "How do you say that?"
“I always thought I was a genius, but I just didn’t get the chance to show my talent, and I would succeed no matter what I did.
After more than three months of training, I realized that I am just an ordinary person, not better than others. On the contrary, due to lack of experience, my ability is not as good as others. "Qi Hua explained.
Hearing Qi Hua say this, Qi Tongwei smiled with relief. This was what he wanted to achieve.
"It doesn't matter if you have poor abilities or no experience. As long as we study hard, we can improve on these. The most frightening thing is being ignorant of the world and thinking you are very capable. It's great that you have this awareness." Qi Tongwei encouraged his nephew.
Then Qi Tongwei asked: "Do you have a clear plan for your future now?"
"You are right about going into politics. In our country China, power is the most powerful thing. Qi Tonghu is so rich that he will be in trouble once the government takes it seriously. It is better for him to go into politics." Qi Hua said seriously.
"That's right. In our country, officials are always the most powerful people. No matter how big a company is, you can't hang the national emblem at the door.
But as long as it is a first-level government, even the smallest township government has the national emblem hanging high. "Qi Tongwei was very happy that his nephew could change his mindset.
Handing his nephew a cigarette, Qi Tongwei continued, "Uncle will tell you a little bit about being an official. I have also told you these things for your brothers. Today it is your turn."
"What do you think?" Qi Hua said seriously. It seems that the effect of this exercise is good.
"When it comes to being an official, the first thing you should do is not be greedy for money or lustful. If you are not greedy for money, you won't go to jail. If you are not lustful, you won't be caught by others. The most important thing for an official is not to have any problems financially.
Affected by the Tiancheng Group incident, you can see how many officials have been sentenced for corruption, just because they had financial problems. "
"I've remembered that." Qi Hua had just experienced the Tiancheng Group case and was able to listen to Qi Tongwei's advice.
“You have to remember that money is just a tool. Those who stand on money are the rich, and those who kneel under money are the slaves of money.
Money seems important but it is not that important. Those officials who got into trouble did so because they became slaves to money.
You have to be a sensible person and don't take money too seriously.
I know there are some things you cannot understand now. Your uncle was the same when I was young. I made a lot of mistakes, but I did not make the fundamental mistakes, that is, problems with money and sex.
Let me give you a piece of advice: develop a habit of reflection. Reflect on your behavior every three days and then correct it.
In this way, you will make rapid progress. As long as you can persist for a long time, you will definitely have a position at the provincial and ministerial level in the future." Qi Tongwei told his nephew about some of the ways he had been an official over the years.
"Uncle, I've got it." Qi Hua nodded solemnly.
Qi Tongwei nodded, and just as he was about to end today's conversation, Qi Hua spoke again: "Uncle, when I was handling the case this time, Qi Tonghu told me one thing, saying that he wanted to take back Chuntang's pharmacy.
I later investigated out of curiosity and found that this Chinese medicine clinic was very good. They cured many diseases that were not cured by many hospitals, including some cancer patients. "
"Are you serious?" Qi Tongwei raised his voice.
"It's true. According to my investigation, out of 100 terminal cancer patients, about 30 can recover after being treated at Huichuntang, and the remaining 70 live longer than those who receive chemotherapy in the hospital," Qi Hua explained.
"Okay, I understand." Qi Tongwei nodded heavily, then called his secretary Liu Zhaojun and asked him to investigate the details of Huichuntang.
It's not that Qi Tongwei looks down on traditional Chinese medicine. Due to historical reasons, many Chinese herbal prescriptions have been taken away by foreign countries and South Korea at extremely low prices. Among the top 50 pharmaceutical companies in the world, only two are from China, and both are at the bottom of the list.
If Huichuntang can really cure cancer, as long as it develops a finished drug, it will definitely be able to catch up.
What Qi Tongwei didn't know was that Huichuntang had thought about developing finished drugs, but the investment was too huge and they were unable to support it. Domestic pharmaceutical companies were simply reluctant to invest in research and development.
In other words, Huichuntang's reputation is still small and pharmaceutical companies don't take it seriously. Otherwise, it would not only hit Huichuntang, but might even prevent this drug from ever being released.
It’s not that they don’t want to make money, but that they are more greedy.
In the eyes of this group of people, the ideal situation is that cancer always remains a terminal illness. Only in this way can they use chemotherapy and radiotherapy to continuously obtain huge wealth.
The only group that has an idea is Tiancheng Group, which is also planning to seize by trickery, and they have no intention of releasing the most effective medicine. These businessmen are all of the same character, money is the most important thing.
The next morning, Liu Zhaojun handed Qi Tongwei an investigation report.
Qi Tongwei couldn't wait to open it and found that it was true. Many patients who were considered not worth saving by many hospitals were cured by Huichuntang. It was almost the same as what his nephew said, and the recovery rate was really around 30%.
Although the recovery rate is only 30%, it is actually very high.
Because these people are basically declared by the hospital to be beyond rescue value. If the cancer is in the early or middle stages, the recovery rate would probably be higher.
After reading the report, Qi Tongwei was very excited.
"Xiao Liu, make arrangements to go to Yi County tomorrow morning. I want to see Huichuntang in person." Qi Tongwei ordered.
"Secretary Qi, who needs to accompany us?" Liu Zhaojun asked.
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "Let Dudu accompany me."
If the Tiancheng Group incident had not just happened and they were going to their base camp in Yi County, Qi Tongwei would not even bring Dudu, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department.
"Yes, Secretary Qi, I'll arrange it right away." Liu Zhaojun responded.
Liu Zhaojun went to prepare for tomorrow's visit and investigation, and Qi Tongwei could not help but continue reading the report. He was now very excited.
