Judging from Huo Qianli's behavior, he had already inquired about Secretary Long's personality and character through various channels before coming.
We know that this deputy director, who is in his forties, started from the grassroots and worked his way up. Regardless of his character, he is a decisive and courageous person in doing things.
So he calmly faced Secretary Long's shocked and defensive gaze and explained, "Secretary Long, there are only two of us here now, so I'll also speak frankly, what do you think?"
For many people within the system, being honest does not mean a good thing, and often requires taking corresponding risks and responsibilities.
Secretary Long frowned, his eyes solemn, "Secretary Qianli, please speak."
"You are a senior official of Longxing Town, and I am a senior official of Qianfu Town. It is natural for us to fight for the interests of our respective management areas. So, when I told you that I was willing to put this platform in Longxing Town, you did have every reason to doubt my sincerity."
Huo Qianli sat up straight, looked at the man in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "But, Secretary Long, you and I have a common identity. We are both members of the Standing Committee of the Dongjiang County Party Committee and the main leaders of the county. If we look at this matter from the perspective of the entire county, will this matter be from another angle, with more trustworthy points?"
Secretary Long frowned even more tightly.
Huo Qianli continued, "Why did I come to you? It's because you also have a white peony industrial park. Salvia miltiorrhiza and white peony were the two legs of the development of the Chinese medicinal materials industry decided by Secretary Li, the then senior county official. You and I should have witnessed it. If I want to do this, the benefits of pulling you in will be much greater than leaving you out. Not only Qianfu Town needs to develop, not only Longxing Town needs to develop, but the entire Dongjiang County needs to develop."
Secretary Long's brows were still furrowed, but he nodded slightly, "That's fine."
Huo Qianli said calmly: "As Secretary Long said just now, you and I don't have much contact in private, and we don't know much about each other's character. Then let's analyze it from the logic of the basic facts. Is what I said still tenable?"
Secretary Long nodded again without saying anything.
Huo Qianli looked at Secretary Long with burning eyes, "I don't say that I do things in a noble way, but I will never do anything that harms the interests of the people. In my vision, this platform is not dominated by one company, and it is not that one company will plunder the resources of other companies and enrich itself at the expense of others. Instead, it should be a win-win situation. My goal is to establish a set of rules that everyone can use and benefit from. This is not noble, but only in this way can this thing be long-term and stable."
Secretary Long let out a long breath, "No matter what, there is always someone who benefits, and the other families are also harmed."
Huo Qianli smiled, "These are two different things. For example, if a big project is about to be implemented, and the two local governments of A and B are competing for it, and it finally lands in City A, can it be said that it hurts City B? No, development opportunities depend on each city's ability, and it does not harm the original interests. But if the industrial development of City A is to pry into the industry of City B, or its waste, sewage, etc. directly harm its neighbors, depriving or infringing on other people's original things, that is not right. In this regard, we can avoid it from the perspective of model design."
Secretary Long picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, as if he was using running water to sort out and fill in the gaps in his words. "Secretary Qianli, I don't doubt your sincerity, nor do I doubt the possibility of success of this matter. As you said, we are the county leaders, and some things must be viewed from the perspective of the entire county."
He held the teacup in both hands, as if trying to borrow a bit of warmth from it. "Whether this project is located in Longxing Town or Qianfu Town, as long as it is truly beneficial to the economic development of the entire county and can also enable the enterprises in the Baishao Industrial Park in Longxing Town to develop, I have no objection."
Huo Qianli looked at Secretary Long and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his bet was right.
"Secretary Long is a man of high moral character. I admire him."
Secretary Long waved his hand and said, "So what do we need to do next?"
Huo Qianli was about to speak when there was a gentle knock on the door. "Secretary, it's almost time."
Huo Qianli and Secretary Long looked at the clock hanging on the office wall almost at the same time. It was already six fifteen.
"Secretary Long, let's talk about it after dinner."
"Okay! We have to have a good exchange over dinner tonight."
The two of them smiled, stood up, and walked out the door together.
The director of the Longxing Town Party Committee Office, who was standing outside the door, saw the two people talking and laughing in a friendly manner, and couldn't help but feel curious about what the two people had talked about in the past half hour. How did their relationship, which was obviously unfamiliar and polite before, turn into what it is now?
Everyone in Qianfu Town sighed with emotion, saying that Secretary Huo is worthy of being Secretary Huo!
In the past, I only knew that Secretary Huo was capable at work, but it seems that his communication skills are also amazing!
In the spacious private room, Secretary Long stood up with his glass raised. "Today, Secretary Huo led Qianfu Town to come here to guide our work. We in Longxing Town have deeply felt and learned from Qianfu Town's excellent work philosophy and work style, and have benefited a lot. With this glass of wine, on behalf of the Longxing Town Party and Government Leadership Team, I would like to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to Secretary Huo and the comrades from Qianfu Town for coming. I also hope that in the future, our two towns will strengthen exchanges, learn from each other, and seek common development!"
Everyone applauded loudly and stood up to raise their glasses.
Huo Qianli and Secretary Long also clinked glasses, exchanged a knowing look, and drank it all in one gulp.
That evening, the two town officials who had planned to have an in-depth exchange after drinking were unable to do so.
It was a bit absurd, but at first everyone thought they were just having a routine drink, but when they saw the close attitudes of the two chief officers, and their words seemed to show that they wanted to further strengthen cooperation, they became more proactive, and when they were drunk, their initiative turned into excitement, and once they were excited, they got the chief officers on both sides drunk too much.
