He won 900 million in the lottery.

Infrastructure.

prepared by.

Experience in building a four-in-one computing power center.

This is all a cake that wealthy and powerful families need to share.

Long Ping'an withdrew from the competition for the top position in the demonstration zone, and at the same time, he was promoted to the position of director in another province. This is his solid foundation.

"Brother Long, it's nice to see you again."

"Brother Shen is still as dashing as ever."

"Let's skip the formalities this time. I need 5 administrative staff and 10 professional staff."

The core of the demonstration zone at the deputy director level consists of two types of formal staff positions: administrative and professional. There are 100 such positions. Of these, 30 are administrative and 70 are professional.

In this era where every advancement requires an examination.

The demonstration area is clearly a shortcut for established companies to overtake their competitors.

"Brother Long, you're asking for an exorbitant price! The demonstration zone hasn't even fully recruited its own people yet, and you're already trying to take advantage of us."

"The person is still a person of the people, still working for you, and will not be transferred."

I frowned. Long Ping'an's purpose was very clear and aligned with the Long family's political direction: he wanted to establish a government agency.

"What resources will you offer in exchange?"

Now that things have come to this point, no one wants to have their cake and eat it too.

That's the kind of ecosystem we're talking about; we have to learn to integrate while maintaining our independence.

This is called art.

"Dong Province is fully promoting integrated livelihood projects, and I will solve the government endorsement problem for you."

Good thing!

But it's a big deal!

I don't have that much financial strength, nor that much energy!

The reason I was able to get things done in the Southern Province was because Liancheng was my base, and there were several department heads who helped me maintain appearances. But when I suddenly arrived in the Eastern Province, I really didn't know where to start.

"I'll think about it."

Long Ping'an nodded. He knew that when I said I would consider it, I meant I would go back and consult Dong Ling. This matter involved the political landscape and was not something he could decide alone. Neither of us had any room for negotiation.

Liu Zhaosheng also came.

In Shanghai, his promotion was a step slower; he only reached the deputy director level.

When we met, he still looked unhappy.

"Why, Brother Liu, do you seem so unhappy to see me?"

"What about the Spring and Autumn Period?"

I frowned: "A loss is a loss, Liu Zhaosheng. I'm giving your Liu family face, and it's also to repay Wang Yan's favor. Don't think I have no connections in Shanghai. Let's see how far your Liu family can support you."

Liu Zhaosheng felt a tightness in his chest and almost couldn't speak.

He realized that the Yang family in Shanghai was one of his backers. Although the military and the government did not interfere with each other, he was already at a disadvantage. If he wasted another year or two, he would really fall out of the ranks.

"Excuse me. I'm here to discuss staffing."

It's about staffing again...

Faced with the prospect of being included in the government's staffing quota, infrastructure and computing center projects suddenly become less appealing.

The Wu family is the same.

of course.

When people from the Wen, Zhao, and Zhong families came, my attitude changed completely. I would continue to support those who had helped me in the past. Besides, my Shen family is starting out, and we can't be without people under our command, can we?

office.

Long, Liu, and Wu left.

Wen Yining, Zhong Qing, and Zhao Xing, the four beauties are together again.

"Back then, everyone said that it would be hard to see each other again after graduation, and sure enough, it was four years since we parted ways."

The establishment of demonstration zones is not something that can be done at will.

This is a political resource, and political resources can only be exchanged for political resources.

Buying and selling with money is something only a fool would do.

"Our first benchmark is the integrated livelihood project. Southern Province is our base, and we will prioritize the three northeastern and western provinces in the future, so as to bind the four provinces together and form a strategic position in politics."

"The Long family can get political backing from the Shandong Provincial Party Committee to vigorously promote integrated livelihood projects. I have a question: is it really worth the Long family using their connections in the Provincial Party Committee to do this?"

"The staffing is part of the reason. The integrated livelihood project has already gained momentum. Rather than waiting for us to take the initiative, it's better for them to open their doors and work together peacefully to make money. Politics is never about going down a single path to the end, but about supporting whoever has the greater advantage."

"In that case, I will send a message to both the Liu and Wu families, using the cooperation on integrated livelihood projects in the other three provinces as a bargaining chip."

"We can provide staffing quotas, but they should be used exclusively by our own people first. The rest can then be distributed among different groups, who can then decide how much to invest in the integrated livelihood project across the three provinces."

"Understood."

The Wen and Zhao families contributed the most to the establishment of the demonstration zone, and they should rightfully be given a share.

The Chung family's focus is on the military, but they still requested a few spots here.

Dong Ling looked up at me and said, "Honey, the infrastructure project needs to be outsourced. One of the teacher's students has agreed to take on the contract, and he has promised to extend the funding period to six years."

Six years too?

I frowned: "The 400 billion in the Southern Province is also due to be paid out in 6 years."

"I've already told him about this. He'll be responsible for helping us with the financing and getting foreign investment in."

"Foreign investment? Is it in compliance with regulations?"

"We'll exchange them, and then our US dollars will be used to finance them overseas as well."

That feels good now.

The AI-powered erotic toys and NM trendy blind boxes have made so much money overseas, but they haven't been able to cash out in China. Now, finally, they can start operating in China.

"These are policies from above. If there is a large funding gap for domestic livelihood, and if enterprises have foreign exchange, it can help them exchange and trade."

After discussing the plan,

I was the first to find Long Ping'an.

"If you reduce the number of slots you requested by half, you can take a larger share in the integrated livelihood project in the Eastern Province."

"This is not what I expected, and the Long family cannot accept this outcome."

"This is a decision made by higher authorities. By the way, Dong Ling and I will be getting married this year, so before the end of the year, the higher authorities require the Long family to invest more than 1000 billion yuan in the integrated livelihood project in Dong Province."

"That's impossible! 1000 billion? Why don't you just rob someone!"

Long Ping'an stared at me with wide eyes.

"You don't have it, but Song Xin does. She controls two major international conglomerates and is contributing to the country's development, so what?"

From the perspective of society and the highest moral ground, the enormous benefits that Dongling brought to the country led to my principles being perfectly ignored by the organization, and my application for marriage with her was approved by the organization.

As for why the Long family invested in the integrated livelihood project in Dong Province?

It was a no-brainer to invest.

In Dongling's plan, if the climate in the South Province is successful, at least the four provinces of the East, South, West and North will be taken over. The Long family has lost political resources in the South Province. If the East Province does not enter the mainstream, its political status may be shaken.

Therefore, this is also the benefit that Professor Cheng secured for us at her level, based on the situation that Lingling and I had fought for.

Similarly, the Liu family in the northern province and the Wu family in the western province both have to contribute to the integrated livelihood project.

In peacetime, not everyone has the courage to carry out sweeping reforms.

The cost of failure is something a senior official cannot afford.

But that's exactly what Professor Cheng did.
