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

The knocking sounded, and the three people inside were all startled.

Baimaiti glanced at Qi Tongwei, and seeing the latter nod, he got up and opened the door.

The door opened, and Wu Shanheng stood in the doorway, holding a brown paper bag in his arms.

Upon seeing that it was him, Qi Tongwei immediately beckoned him in and asked in a deep voice.

"Shanheng, it's so late, and it's the weekend... how did you end up at the guesthouse..."

Wu Shanheng walked into the room, nodded to the other two, and replied softly.

"I called your office but no one answered... so I called the front desk of the guesthouse to ask if you were there."

The receptionist told me that you and County Chief Bai were discussing matters at 118, so I came straight here...

At this point, he took out a document from the brown paper bag and handed it to Qi Tongwei.

"Secretary Qi, County Chief Bai... Please don't blame me for being rash, but the matter is urgent... I dare not delay."

This is the cooperation framework agreed upon with the Beitai Oilfield...

Zhang Guozhong reminded me to sign as soon as possible if there were no problems, as he was afraid that things might change if I delayed...

Qi Tongwei took the document, flipped through it carefully, and then handed it to Baimaiti.

He got up and poured Wu Shanheng a glass of water, then said in a deep voice.

"I think there's nothing wrong. Let Brother Bai take a look again..."

If this is done, you'll be a hero to Fuyuan...you've solved a major problem.

He had just finished speaking when Baimaiti's voice rang out, tinged with hesitation.

"The framework is fine... Tongwei, isn't the power transmission and water supply a bit too much?"

Can our county afford it? ...Don't make empty promises, it won't achieve the desired effect...

Qi Tongwei glanced at him, lit a cigarette, and said softly.

"No problem, the thermal power plant already has two generator sets... we'll add another one from the oil field."

Water is not a problem either; one million cubic meters a year only accounts for one-tenth of Bailong Gorge's volume...

Besides, the oil field has to pay for the electricity and water... it's a worthwhile investment no matter how you look at it..."

When Baimaiti heard Qi Tongwei say this, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Then let's not delay any longer, let's make a decisive decision. We'll hold a Standing Committee meeting first thing tomorrow morning and finalize this matter."

Qi Tongwei nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Bai is right. Every day we delay increases the chances of things going wrong. Let's do it this way."

Such a large-scale collaboration was approved by the two men after only glancing at the documents, which made Wu Shanheng somewhat flustered.

He glanced at the three people in the room and sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked.

"Secretary Qi, County Chief Bai...is something wrong?"

I see you all seem a bit nervous..."

The person inside was the absolute core of Fuyuan. Wu Shanheng asked, and Qi Tongwei didn't hide anything.

He revealed in detail how Cheng Shizhong had used his power to entrap Zhao Xiaohui.

After listening to Qi Tongwei's account, Wu Shanheng frowned deeply, his face filled with disbelief.

"Zhang Guozhong once told me that Zhao Xiaohui has a very powerful background... I never imagined it was this powerful..."

While Wu Shanheng was lost in thought, Qi Tongwei had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

If the Zhao family's goal is to burn down Liang, then why are they interested in the Beitai oil field?

To supply oil equipment worth several million? Qi Tongwei found it hard to believe...

After a moment's thought, an even bolder guess came to his mind.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, glanced at Wu Shanheng, and tentatively asked.

"Shanheng, you've been at the Beitai Oilfield for a while now..."

I've heard Zhang Guozhong mention whether there are hidden reserves in northern Taiwan.

Wu Shanheng was taken aback by his question, sighed, and said in a deep voice.

"Secretary Qi, sometimes... I really think you're incredibly perceptive... and you've really guessed right..."

The geology of the Beitai oilfield is very unique; it belongs to a shale formation... and the reserves are quite large...

However, Director Zhang also said that the current technology is not advanced enough to extract this oil...

Qi Tongwei and Baimaiti exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's intentions.

That makes sense; their judgment was absolutely correct.

The Zhao family wasn't eyeing petty profits; they were after Huoshaoliang and the hidden reserves of the Beitai oil field...

After Wu Shanheng finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

After a long silence, Baimaiti opened his mouth and broke the silence first.

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

"Tongwei...the path is feasible...but I still can't quite believe it..."

Even if the Zhao family has connections everywhere, coal and oil are national resources...

How can they control it? How can they possibly appropriate these resources for themselves...?

Qi Tongwei took a deep drag of his cigarette, glanced at Baimaiti, and said with a wry smile.

"There might not have been a way before... but with the Fuyuan Mine, things are different. The Fuyuan Mine is a breakthrough point."

Baimaiti blinked, looking completely bewildered, clearly not understanding.

Seeing that Baimaiti didn't understand, Qi Tongwei sighed and spoke again.

"After discovering that Huoshaoliang might have a large coalfield, I immediately applied for mining rights..."

Guangran, you were the one who went to the city to handle the paperwork for Fuyuan Mine back then, right...?

Seeing Li Guangran nod, Qi Tongwei took a deep drag of his cigarette and continued speaking.

"From that time on, I started making plans... I felt that once the reserves were confirmed,

The authorities will definitely pay attention to Huoshaoliang, and Huoshaoliang will inevitably see large-scale development...

Registering Fuyuan Mine was to pave the way for the subsequent establishment of Huoshaoliang Coal Mine by its superiors...

"Such a large coalfield, the higher-ups wouldn't allow the Fuyuan Mine to exist; they would acquire it..."

Having grasped the gist of the matter, Baimaiti immediately chimed in.

"So, when designing the equity structure of Fuyuan Mine, you forced every township to become a shareholder..."

"It's just that when the higher authorities make the merger, each township will be allocated its corresponding share..."

Qi Tongwei nodded and said with a wry smile.

"Yes, if the county retains shares, Fuyuan Mine will become a cash cow for the county..."

If the county can't retain its shares, the township can, or receive compensation...

Not only that, but even the more than 1,000 employees at the mine have found jobs...

At this point, Qi Tongwei stopped talking and did not continue.

He began to doubt his rebirth once again.

If he hadn't been reborn, when would the burning of Liang have been discovered, and would the Fuyuan Mine have been discovered...?

If none of these things happened, would the Zhao family still have their hands reaching out to Bianxi...?

As he was thinking, Baimaiti's voice rang out again, filled with disbelief.

"Tongwei, I understand what you're saying... You orchestrated this whole thing..."

Qi Tongwei glanced at him and was about to speak when Li Guangran asked first.

"Secretary Qi, your suggestion that I go to the Municipal Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources... isn't that also part of your plan to salvage Huoshaoliang?"

Qi Tongwei glanced at the two of them, nodded, and said with a wry smile.

"Developing Huoshaoliang won't be enough with just people from higher up; people from the west definitely need to be sent..."

Jin Yuxi is experienced and technically skilled, making him the best candidate, but Chief Engineer Jin is retiring...

"Your skills are excellent, and you were the first to discover the fire at Huoshaoliang... Chief Engineer Jin will definitely recommend you..."

Qi Tongwei's voice wasn't loud, and his tone was very calm, but it sent chills down the spines of the three men.

This kind of thinking, this kind of calculation, that's what you'd expect from a young cadre not yet thirty...

After listening to Qi Tongwei's account, Li Guangran swallowed hard and asked in a deep voice.

"So, you told me to look down more before I could go up... which means 'fire burning the beam'..."

Qi Tongwei glanced at him and said in a deep voice.

"Originally, there were some things I wanted to tell you when I left Fuyuan..."

Guangran, Fuyuan is good, Bianxi is even better, but you deserve better opportunities...

Your education and skills are no worse than Zhao Dehan's, are they...?
