Chapter 567 Move forward courageously
When leaving Macau and returning to Hong Kong, Lai Dongsheng was on the ship. In the office of the Zhi Gonghui in Hong Kong Island, he faced the party flag, swore an oath of membership, and was helped to put on the "Overseas Chinese Serving the Patriot" badge.
Yin Zhaotang patted him on the shoulder, said encouragingly, "Mr. Lai, the government affairs of Haojiang depend on you."
Lai Dongsheng stood straight, saluted, and said loudly: "I will never let the organization down!"
"Do a good job of screening the new members and come up with a list as soon as possible." Yin Zhaotang took him to visit Zhongyi Building and met Dapu Niu, Ge Zhixiong, Zuoshou, Dapao and others.
Although they are all from the underworld, the additional identity of an organization really makes Lai Dongsheng feel like he has found a home.
After returning to Haojiang, Lai Dongsheng couldn't help feeling elated.
At the end of the month, when Yin Zhaotang went to the capital for a meeting, he specially brought Lai Dongsheng with him and took him to the office building of the Zhi Gonghui to meet with President Wang Dingyu, Vice President Wu Qi, Dong Chuyin and others.
Just drinking a cup of tea and chatting made Lai Dongsheng intoxicated.
It can be seen that Lai Dongsheng, who started out as a loan shark, really likes the feeling of being in the system. He does not have a formal position, but he has a sense of superiority that "he talks and laughs with great scholars and associates with all ordinary people."
Yin Zhaotang did not break his fantasy and often praised him. If they could really run the Haojiang branch well, there would be a place for him as a member of the headquarters committee.
However, as a new member introduced by Yin Zhaotang, no matter how he does, he cannot get rid of the "Yin faction" label.
In other words, the Hong Kong and Macau faction already exists objectively and has gradually become the most powerful force in the Zhi Gong Hui.
Everyone in the association was happy to see this happen and kept encouraging it.
The Zhi Gong Hui was originally established as a place for patriotic overseas Chinese to stay. Haiqiao is powerful, which proves that the work is done well and the country is attractive!
This return trip to China to bring Lai Dongsheng to see the world is secondary. The primary task is actually to attend the monthly meeting of the preparatory group.
Just as the meeting was over and the committee members were packing up their documents and preparing to leave, the team leader Qian Qichen suddenly stopped them: "Mr. Yin, wait a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
Yin Zhaotang looked surprised and raised his hand to signal his secretary to stay. Luo Dechen, Guo Desheng, Li Shanfu and other committee members could not help but look over. Huo Guantai, Liao Runchen, Bao Yugang, Run Runfu and others stood up and left without looking away.
As leading figures in their respective fields, they are often called upon to attend small meetings, simply to be entrusted with doing certain tasks.
Yin Zhaotang brought Huo Zhengting and Qian Qichen into a tea room. As soon as Yin Zhaotang sat down, Qian Qichen smiled and said, "Let's close the door and chat. Will Mr. Huo still stand?"
"Zhengting, sit down." Yin Zhaotang agreed, and took out a box of Marlboro from his pocket and gave them to Huo Zhengting and Qian Qichen who had just sat down.
"Thank you." Huo Zhengting was calm thanks to his family background. Standing there made the atmosphere more serious.
Qian Qichen smoked a cigarette, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I heard from the comrades of the Zhi Gonghui that you have done a good job in party affairs in Hong Kong and Macau."
"On the one hand, my friends gave me face, and on the other hand, the Zhi Gong Hui has a good reputation. I am just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors and doing some insignificant work." Yin Zhaotang exhaled smoke and spoke in a humble tone.
Qian Qichen put his hands on the sofa and nodded slightly: "People who can handle party affairs well are very capable."
"We are comrades and we are in the same working group. I will not hide anything. There is something that needs to be coordinated by the organization."
Yin Zhaotang straightened his expression and said solemnly, "Team Leader, please speak."
"In 82, in order to ensure the power supply for Hong Kong Island, the country's top leaders decided to build a nuclear power plant in Shenzhen. The site has been selected, on the shore of Daya Bay in Shenzhen, which can supply Hong Kong Island, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou at the same time. The plan is very good, but you should have seen the news about the nuclear leak at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, USA." Qian Qichen took another puff of his cigarette, his tone bleak: "There is a lot of opposition from the political circles and citizens of Hong Kong Island. Every time the project team announced the start of construction, a large number of people took to the streets to protest."
"The project has been shelved until now because we should have paid attention to the opinions of Hong Kong compatriots."
Yin Zhaotang knew about the famous Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station. He was so excited that he asked, "Mr. Qian, how can I help you?" In later generations, the electricity for the entire Hong Kong Island was basically supplied by the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station.
How can the needs of an international city be met by just a few small hydropower stations on Hong Kong Island?
Without the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, it would be questionable whether Hong Kong Island could become an international city.
But there is no metropolis where power outages occur every day and electricity bills are more expensive than labor costs.
This nuclear power plant uses all foreign technology and is the second nuclear power plant to be built in the country. Its safety and importance are beyond doubt.
Qian Qichen was a little afraid that he would misunderstand, so he raised his hand and said, "It is better to ease than to block. I want Yin Sheng to act as a middleman. The country is willing to sell 25% of the shares of the nuclear power plant. I just hope that the nuclear power plant can start construction as soon as possible."
Yin Zhaotang readily agreed: "No problem, I'll do it."
Huo Zhengting felt nervous when he saw that the boss didn't mention any conditions. After following the boss out of the tea room, he stepped forward and reminded him, "Boss, we are building a nuclear power plant, not a thermal power plant or a hydropower plant."
"Yes, the nuclear power plant." Yin Zhaotang said calmly, with a plan in mind, "The British Hong Kong authorities are probably afraid that the mainland will control the water and electricity supply, so they are deliberately obstructing it."
"Water can kill people with thirst, so they don't dare mess with it. But if electricity is less and more expensive, they can still earn more."
"Go back and publish a news report, leak some information, and then pick two more people who stand out to scare the monkeys. If anyone dares to go out and cause trouble, tell the brothers to bring two cartons of milk and go visit his grandmother."
Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures. As long as the domestic policies are correct, what's wrong with making some effort?
When he joined the preparatory group, he had already realized that he wanted to make a contribution. As long as he did it well, his hands would not be dirty.
It is normal for citizens to be misled due to their limited information. Those in power must have the determination to overcome all difficulties and guide the people.
Qian Sheng personally appointed the generals, which seemed to indicate that he understood the key points and there was a hint of hint in it.
Huo Zhengting looked anxious and raised his voice: "Mr. Yin, something will happen to the nuclear power plant. Why did Mr. Qian come to you instead of Mr. Guo, Mr. Liao, and my father?"
"It's not an uprising. They can do whatever you can do, just drying horses."
Yin Zhaotang paused, a look of realization flashed across his eyes, and he stood in front of the car: "Are you saying they are afraid of taking responsibility?"
Huo Zhengting nodded: "If something happens at the nuclear power plant, we can get away with it by issuing a document and catching two scapegoats. But the people who pushed this incident will be criticized even if they don't go to jail."
"My reputation in Hong Kong Island is ruined and I have no future."
Yin Zhaotang nodded, and said in an appreciative tone: "You are right, they don't dare to take responsibility, but I do. The nuclear power plant is not only related to the livelihood of Hong Kong Island, but also to the development of Shenzhen City. Both places have the greatest relationship with me. It turns out that Qian Sheng saw this point and thought I would fight hard."
"He's not wrong about people!"
I almost forgot that nuclear power plant technology had many accidents in the 1980s.
Citizens truly feel that nuclear power plants are unsafe and want to stay at hydropower plants until they grow old. They can tolerate power outages, power rationing and high electricity prices.
If he cannot contribute to the development of science and technology in his next life, he should at least contribute to the development of the city. Loving Hong Kong and governing Hong Kong cannot always be just words. No one is more suitable for this responsibility than him!
Huo Zhengting looked at Yin Zhaotang getting into the car, his eyes full of admiration.
