Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

After the welcome party ended, a small meeting was immediately held in Qi Tongwei's office.

The number of attendees was pitifully small, only four people, with the newly formed Fuyuan Iron Triangle naturally being the main group.

To Baimaiti's surprise, Li Guangran also attended this closed-door meeting.

However, he also knew that those attending this meeting were definitely the core members of Xinfuyuan.

There must be a reason why Qi Tongwei invited Li Guangran to the meeting.

The four people sat down on the sofa.

Qi Tongwei first offered cigarettes to everyone, and only after everyone had lit them did he slowly begin to speak.

"Today's meeting, though called a conference, is really about opening up and sharing our innermost thoughts."

He pointed at Li Guangran, his tone calm but carrying great weight.

"Guangran, in the next few years, Fuyuan's work will revolve around you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guangran's hand holding the cigarette trembled involuntarily, and he grinned, laughing through his tears.

"Secretary Qi, you must be joking. How could I possibly shoulder such a heavy responsibility..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Tongwei waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Let me be frank, based on my assessment, the reserves of Huoshaoliang are definitely more than 80 billion tons."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three people in the room were stunned.

What does 80 billion tons mean?

If this reserve figure is confirmed, Huoshaoliang will firmly hold its position among the top three coalfields in the country.

Everyone had the same thought: Was Qi Tongwei being too optimistic?

Baimaiti hesitated for a moment, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and gave a low, stern reminder.

"Secretary Qi, aren't you being a little too optimistic? If it really can enter the national rankings..."

"That Fuyuan... no, even Bianxi City might not be able to keep this project."

Qi Tongwei glanced at Baimaiti, nodded, and said softly.

"County Chief Bai, you've hit the nail on the head."

After saying that, he looked at Li Guangran again, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice became solemn.

"So, Guangran, your main job in the future will be to burn down Liang and fight for more say for Fuyuan."

After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, everyone fell silent, with only the faint sound of burning tobacco remaining.

Seeing that no one spoke, he sighed, smiled bitterly, and spoke again.

"I also hope that I'm just being overly pessimistic... that this situation will not happen."

But if the reserves of Huoshaoliang come into view... just like Brother Bai said,

"Fuyuan may not be able to retain ownership of the coalfield, and Bianxi may not be able to either."

Wu Shanheng and Li Guangran didn't quite understand what Qi Tongwei meant.

They had never witnessed the power struggle between the central and local governments, while Baimaiti had seen quite a bit.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, frowned, looked at Qi Tongwei, and asked in a deep voice.

"National Development and Reform Commission...Department of Geology and Mineral Resources?"

His voice rose from low to high, and the last three words were three octaves higher.

Qi Tongwei sighed and gave a bitter smile:

"The whole country is a unified entity. Once the reserves reach a certain level, the state will definitely take over directly."

You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household... We need to prepare in advance.

Wu Shanheng pushed up his glasses, still somewhat confused, and asked softly.

"The government taking over isn't necessarily a bad thing for Fuyuan, is it?"

With such a large project taking place, the county will always benefit.

Qi Tongwei glanced at him, sighed, and didn't reply.

He didn't speak, but Baimaiti picked up the conversation and replied in a deep voice.

"If the higher authorities directly manage it, Huoshaoliang's taxes and profits will not remain in the county."

At the very least, it has to be handed over to the district level. The amount that can be kept at the county level is far too little..."

Wu Shanheng was taken aback, then instantly understood the crux of the matter, nodded, and said nothing more.

Qi Tongwei glanced at Baimaiti, his gaze somewhat meaningful.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette and became even more direct.

"In any case, the fire beam will be extremely hot to the touch, almost like a furnace..."

After saying that, he looked at Li Guangran again and said in a deep voice.

"Guang Ran, don't blame me for being ruthless, but I want you to jump in specifically to pick this mess..."

Li Guangran was taken aback, swallowed hard, frowned, but didn't dare to speak.

What is a furnace that can turn iron into water...? Qi Tongwei didn't beat around the bush; he went straight to the point.

A powerful, heavy straight ball that made him hesitant to receive.

He did entrust Li Guangran with important responsibilities, but he was also buying insurance for the Fuyuan team.

Li Guangran withstood the test and wasn't refined, so everything is fine.

If they can't withstand the pressure and are refined, Qi Tongwei will quickly make a severance to protect the core of the team.

Li Guangran wasn't stupid; he had already understood Qi Tongwei's meaning, and for a moment, he was torn between his own thoughts and his own.

Not only was Li Guangran torn between his conscience and his conscience, but Baimaiti was also in a state of anxiety.

Ever since he learned of the news of being sent down to Fuyuan, he had carefully considered Wang Quanyou's intentions.

He understood the implication: once someone has enough experience, they can be promoted after a period of reflection.

But he also understood the deeper mission.

Fu Yuan cannot be controlled by one person alone, and Qi Tongwei cannot become a second Li Guofu.

However, according to Qi Tongwei's plan, the development of Huoshaoliang will be mainly led by Li Guangran, and he himself will definitely not be able to directly intervene.

What about his second task? Will he be able to complete it successfully?

For a moment, Baimaiti was also caught in a dilemma.

Inside the office, each person was lost in their own thoughts and fell silent once again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Qi Tongwei casually made a joke.

"Bai County, my old brother Bai. Your burden is no lighter than Li Guangran's."

Li Guangran is the money-making machine in the county, and you're just the kid who spends the money...

The three of them paused for a moment, then laughed a few times in unison, but the laughter sounded very fake.

Qi Tongwei suppressed his smile and looked at Baimaiti with a serious expression.

"Brother, the biggest problem with energy-based cities is their reliance on a single industry and the chain reaction that follows energy depletion."

Coal will eventually be exhausted.

When that day comes, what will happen to Fuyuan? What will happen to the common people?

Your focus should be on supporting industry and improving people's livelihoods...

After listening, Baimaiti frowned, nodded, and didn't reply.

For energy-rich cities, achieving political success is too easy; once coal is mined, GDP automatically skyrockets.

However, precisely because it is easy to achieve political success, those in power often neglect industrial development and people's livelihood.

When the resources are depleted, what remains is an empty city and a population of people without a livelihood...

The fact that Qi Tongwei could think of this is enough to prove that he truly stands on the side of the people.

......

While Qi Tongwei was holding a closed-door meeting, Gao Gui from the North Station couldn't hold back any longer.

He found an opportunity to go to Li Guofu's courtyard and report to him on the changes at Fuyuan.

Gao Gui didn't beat around the bush and directly reported on everything that had happened in the past few days.

Zhang Wei was placed under investigation, Liu Datong was transferred to the CPPCC, and Baimaiti and Wu Shanheng were promoted to leadership positions...

He explained very carefully, but Li Guofu didn't listen very attentively.

As the absolute core of the previous leadership team, although he has retired, his eyes and ears are still there.

He already knew what Gao Gui was talking about.

After Gao Gui finished speaking, he put down the stone in his hand and asked softly.

"Zhang Wei was taken away by the city authorities?"

Gao Gui was taken aback, then replied with a wry smile.

"Old Secretary, that's the problem. I can't even find a way to pass on a message..."

You have to think of a way to prevent him from throwing it all up...

Li Guofu remained silent for a long time, then sighed and asked softly.

"Is Zhang Wei's father...not in good health?"

Gao Gui was taken aback and looked at Li Guofu with a puzzled expression.
