Chapter 474 The Rival's Conspiracy
"I think it's time to find a competitor for Qi Tongwei." The speaker was an old man in his fifties with a strong family background, no worse than Zhong Xiaoai.
"Yes, Governor Liu has retired and the post of Handong governor is temporarily vacant. We can recommend one of our own to go to Handong to compete with Qi Tongwei." Someone agreed.
"I'm afraid just one person is not enough. Now the standing committee members in Handong are almost all Qi Tongwei's puppets. It's difficult for a provincial governor alone to reverse the current situation." Old Zhao shook his head and was not very optimistic about this method.
"Transfer Deputy Secretary Tian Guofu from Handong, and transfer a provincial governor and a provincial deputy secretary to Handong to compete with Qi Tongwei. The second and third in command will work together to deal with him. Even if they cannot take him down, they will at least make him sweat.
Once Qi Tongwei is tied up in the political struggle, he will have no intention of intervening in the real estate economy." Gao Heping, the old man who spoke earlier, responded.
"Let's do this. Transfer Tian Guofu to Zhongjiang to serve as governor and let him compete with Gao Yuliang. He is Qi Tongwei's teacher and is also willing to learn from Qi Tongwei's approach in Handong." Old Zhao thought for a while and said.
"Isn't Tian Guofu one of ours?" Gao Heping was not very satisfied with this suggestion.
"We chose him precisely because he is not one of our talents. If he were one of ours, the higher-ups would not agree to let him go to Zhongjiang," Mr. Zhao explained.
"Then why not directly bribe Tian Guofu and ask him to support the new governor in the fight against Qi Tongwei?" someone asked puzzledly.
Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Although Tian Guofu is a fence-sitter with no bottom line, he will not do anything that is not beneficial.
He is now trying to find a way to compete for the post of governor of Handong Province. If our people become the governor, it would be tantamount to blocking his way. It would be a blessing for him not to help Qi Tongwei deal with us, let alone help us to deal with Qi Tongwei.
On the contrary, if we support him to be the governor of Zhongjiang Province, he will also be able to exert his own power, the difficulties will be relatively smaller, and he can also deal with Gao Yuliang. "
"Okay, let's do as you say." Each of these people has an extraordinary background. Looking at the singing and dancing, they are actually talking about changing the governor. It can be seen that the power of these people is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It is no wonder that Xu Jiayin’s company has grown so big, covers such a wide range, and can easily obtain loans from banks despite having such a high debt ratio.
Gao Heping, Zhao Lao and others acted quickly. They enjoyed the services of the beauties in the dance hall that night and returned to the capital the next day to start their operations.
……
"Tongwei, the government is researching the position of governor of Handong Province." Pei Yihong called to inform Qi Tongwei. Although he was retired, his identity as the head of the Pei family still allowed him to easily obtain some personnel information.
Qi Tongwei frowned and asked, "Dad, do you know who the candidate is?"
"Su Zhigang is currently the governor of your province."
"I don't know, which faction does he belong to?" Qi Tongwei asked.
Pei Yihong explained in a low voice: "He is very close to the Gao family and the Zhao family. These families have deep ties with real estate. You have offended these families this time, and Su Zhigang was looking for you to challenge him.
By the way, it is said that Tian Guofu will also be transferred. In addition to the governor, Handong will also have a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. This is almost certain.”
Qi Tongwei smiled silently, and then said: "Let them come. If they work hard, it's fine. If they dare to mess around, I don't mind sending them to Qincheng Prison to spend the rest of their lives."
"Tongwei, go ahead and do it. Our Pei family is not someone you can easily mess with. As long as you can keep yourself clean, you will be invincible." Pei Yihong is very satisfied with his son-in-law and believes that he can defeat any opponent.
"Yes, I understand." After a pause, Qi Tongwei asked, "Where was Tian Guofu transferred to?"
Ever since this guy became the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he has been obedient to me, with the goal of getting me to recommend him for the position of governor. Now not only is the governor gone, but even the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is lost. I wonder if he will cry to death.
"Go to Zhongjiang and serve as governor." Pei Yihong replied.
"What, going to Zhongjiang and serving as governor?" Qi Tongwei could hardly believe his ears. He had been thinking that Tian Guofu would cry to death, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually go to Zhongjiang to serve as governor.
Qi Tongwei quickly realized what was going on and asked, "Is Tian Guofu also one of the other party's people? Is he going to Zhongjiang because of the real estate business?"
"You guessed right. That's it. You should remind Gao Yuliang to be prepared." Pei Yihong responded.
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry about this. Although my teacher looks gentle, he is definitely not someone Tian Guofu can deal with."
In Qi Tongwei's eyes, Tian Guofu was just a kill for Gao Yuliang and had no competitiveness at all.
Pei Yihong and Qi Tongwei had talked about Handong's political arena, and knew that he looked down on Tian Guofu, so he immediately reminded him: "Tongwei, you and Yuliang must not take it lightly!
Sha Ruijin has worked hard in Zhongjiang for many years, and now that Comrade Yuliang has been forced to leave, how can he rest? It is hard to guarantee that he will not signal his confidants to join Tian Guofu and take the opportunity to retaliate against Comrade Yuliang. "
Hearing his father-in-law say this, Qi Tongwei wanted to slap himself in the face. When did he start to become so arrogant? He secretly reminded himself that he must not be careless and fall into the trap.
After calming down, Qi Tongwei said solemnly: "Dad, I understand. I will call Teacher Gao and tell him about the situation."
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei asked about the health of his father-in-law and mother-in-law and the conditions of their two children, and then hung up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Tongwei directly called Gao Yuliang.
"Hey, Tongwei, where is the person you promised to send to me? What's the situation with Zhao Donglai?
I've urged you several times, why haven't you responded yet? If that doesn't work, I'll ask the Ministry of Public Security for one." Before Qi Tongwei could even open his mouth to speak, Gao Yuliang on the other end of the phone had already spoken first with a smile on his face.
"Teacher Gao, it's like this. Comrade Donglai is currently in charge of a major drug trafficking case, which is left over from Tazhai Village in Dongshan City.
But fortunately, the case will be completely closed in a few days. As soon as he finishes his work, I will go to him to have a good talk about it." Qi Tongwei explained the situation.
"Okay, it won't take any time anyway. It would be more legitimate to promote him after the case is settled." Gao Yuliang was not really angry. He was just joking with Qi Tongwei just now.
After talking about Zhao Donglai, Qi Tongwei immediately mentioned that Tian Guofu would soon take up the position of governor of Zhongjiang Province.
"So, this Tian Guofu has come to Zhongjiang to compete against me." Gao Yuliang said calmly, without any sense of nervousness.
Qi Tongwei also relayed his father-in-law Pei Yihong's speculation to Gao Yuliang to prevent him from being tricked by Tian Guofu due to carelessness.
"Thank Master Pei for me." After a pause, Gao Yuliang continued, "Tongwei, you and Master Pei don't have to worry about me. Sha Ruijin is a domineering person and doesn't have many true confidants.
Tian Guofu can't make much trouble. If he can cooperate with the work, it's fine. If he interferes with the development of Zhongjiang, I will make sure he doesn't get the same ending as Sha Ruijin. "
Hearing Gao Yuliang say this, Qi Tongwei felt relieved. He knew that Gao Yuliang's ability was far beyond that of Tian Guofu, not to mention that Gao Yuliang was the provincial party secretary.
Afterwards, the teacher and student exchanged views on real estate, discussed what to do next, then hung up the phone and waited for the new governor to take office.
