Zhang Xingguo is certainly very familiar with manipulating personnel matters, but the main reason he hasn't considered this method is because the last town party committee meeting went out of control.
The reason the meeting went out of control was simple: the voting results were completely contrary to his ideas. A mature leader would not easily initiate an uncontrolled meeting, let alone a vote.
Because every instance of loss of control weakens his authority as the top leader.
The last time was the first time, so it was somewhat understandable, but if it happens two or three more times, then nobody will take him, the top leader, seriously.
Therefore, he did not readily agree to Kang Yong's proposal, because any personnel adjustments would definitely require a vote at the town party committee meeting, and he did not have the confidence to control the overall situation at the moment.
He wouldn't easily convene such a meeting, because if Li Xiuyuan and Hou Peng joined forces to oppose him again, his authority as secretary would be completely destroyed.
"I understand about this. Here's what we'll do: try to probe Lu Zhenhai later, try to win him over, make sure we have a say, and also find out why Lu Zhenhai supported Li Xiuyuan last time," Zhang Xingguo instructed Tang Yong.
“I’ve inquired about this matter. Lu Zhenhai and Zhou Jianzhong, whom Li Xiuyuan supports, have a good relationship. They’ve known each other for a long time, so I think that’s probably why Lu Zhenhai supports Li Xiuyuan,” Kang Yong replied. Even if Zhang Xingguo didn’t tell him, he would take the initiative to do these things.
Zhang Xingguo nodded: "That's possible, but we need to find out if there are any other factors. We should try to win Lu Zhenhai over, or if he has any conditions that we can meet."
Kang Yong nodded. He understood Zhang Xingguo's concerns. Before Li Xiuyuan arrived, Zhang Xingguo and others held three votes, which was enough to ensure that the town party committee meeting would proceed according to Zhang Xingguo's ideas.
Despite the fact that there were originally seven members in the town's Party committee, this kind of thing didn't require a majority vote at all. Three votes, plus Zhang Xingguo being the secretary, were enough.
This is similar to many listed companies where the largest shareholder doesn't even have 51% controlling stake, yet they can still control the company.
Reality isn't a game; there aren't so many absolutes. If their small group of three wants to win over others, they'll have to give up more benefits. Besides, their views aren't entirely the same, and they each have their own considerations on many things, making it impossible to unify so many people.
So basically, people get closer in twos and threes, which is the same as how many people make friends. They only have a few close friends. If someone has friends everywhere, it means they don't have many friends, and all of them are just pretending.
The three-person team was already enough before, but now Li Xiuyuan has emerged, reached a cooperation with Hou Peng, and also got Lu Zhenhai to support him again. Under these circumstances, the three-person team is not enough, so they need to win over Lu Zhenhai to ensure that they have more than half of the votes.
On the other side, Li Xiuyuan saw Wang Xin off at the office door. Wang Xin had come to express his stance, and Li Xiuyuan was naturally very happy. Wang Xin's arrival allowed him to further extend his reach of power in the town.
There are many enterprises in the central town, and the local industrial and commercial bureau has considerable power. Having such a person supporting him would be very beneficial to him.
Most of the people working in this town are locals. Who can say they don't have relatives or friends who own shops or businesses? If they have any problems and come to you for help, you can solve them immediately.
