Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Chapter 2419: The Enthusiasm of the Ministry of Commerce

He has been running around all these years. Even when he was working in the Z Discipline Inspection Commission, although his unit was not far from home, he did not have much spare time to accompany the elderly. This time he made good use of the opportunity, at least he could spend more time with his grandfather.

The cell phone on his body rang. Feng Sizhe smiled apologetically at Mr. Zhao who was resting with his eyes closed, then walked to a deserted place and answered the phone.

"Hello, hello, I'm Feng Sizhe."

"Hello, Comrade Feng Sizhe, I'm Li Huaisheng. Here's the thing. If you have time now, please come to the Ministry of Commerce. There are some things we need to meet and discuss." A man's voice came from the other end.

Feng Sizhe was stunned when he found out that it was Li Huaisheng who called. He couldn't understand why he went to the business department in the morning and said he was not at home and didn't want to see him? Did he change his attitude after just one meal?

However, no matter what, since the other party wanted to see him, he certainly had no reason to refuse. "Okay, Deputy Minister Li, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone with Li Huaisheng, Feng Sizhe still felt a little confused and walked back to Mr. Zhao, "Grandpa, I have something to go out for."

"Okay." Mr. Zhao still closed his eyes and just nodded.

After calling Li Shuang and Yin Fenglei, Feng Sizhe drove out of the Zhao family compound and headed towards the Ministry of Commerce.

It was during this journey that Feng Sizhe received calls from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance respectively. All of them asked him to go there as some things needed to be discussed in person.

At this moment, Feng Sizhe was even more confused. He really couldn't figure out why all these things happened. They were clearly avoiding him in the morning, but why did they want to see him now? How did this magic work?

In the office of the Deputy Minister of Commerce, Feng Sizhe finally met Comrade Li Huaisheng.

When he saw Feng Sizhe, Li Huaisheng was all smiles, "Haha, Comrade Feng Sizhe is here, please take a seat, please take a seat."

Feng Sizhe nodded. He was very concerned about this abnormal phenomenon, and the change in the situation also made him alert.

Feng Sizhe had just sat down on the sofa when Li Huaisheng took the initiative to say, "Alas, Comrade Feng Sizhe, I was busy with other things recently and ignored the voices from the Ducheng Provincial Government. This is my fault. I admit my mistake. When facing the local authorities, I admit that my approach was not proactive. I am really sorry that Governor Feng had to make several trips for this matter."

As soon as he came up, Li Huaisheng took the initiative to admit his mistake, which made Feng Sizhe feel even more confused.

Since the other party was so polite, he certainly couldn't be aggressive, so Young Master Feng also smiled and said, "No, the Ministry of Commerce is an important ministry of the country. As the leaders here, you are very busy. I can understand that. To be honest, I am really not angry, and I am not in a hurry."

What Feng Sizhe said was the truth. Facing Li Huaisheng's avoidance of him this time, Feng Sizhe was really not angry, because he didn't want to achieve his goal so quickly. On the contrary, he hoped that he could avoid seeing him for a while longer.

Li Huaisheng also laughed, "Governor Feng is so considerate of our work. If local comrades can think this way, then our work will be easier. Well, let's not talk about that anymore, let's talk about business. I heard that the Aqid Consortium has invested 10 billion US dollars in Metropolitan Province. The money has already arrived, right? Then tell us what Metropolitan Province wants from us. As long as it is reasonable, we will strongly support it."

Li Huaisheng suddenly said such nice words, Feng Sizhe had no choice but to do his job in a businesslike manner, "Yes, the first batch of investment from the Aqid Group has arrived. This is the note from Deputy Director Zheng, proving the implementation of the funds. And according to the previous promise of the Ministry of Commerce, as soon as the funds of the Aqid Group are in place, you will provide 5 billion yuan from the fiscal budget to assist. This time I am here to ask for this sum of money." As he spoke, he also handed over the certificate written by Zheng Zhi.

The so-called promise from the Ministry of Commerce was nothing more than what Weidong discussed with Li Huaisheng and others at that time. It can be said that Feng Sizhe took advantage of the loophole and let Hou Weidong take advantage of the situation to negotiate, and then he would receive a big reward. This was a very loud calculation.

Li Huaisheng took the note and glanced at it, frowning for a moment, "Five billion, this is not a small amount."

Hearing Li Huaisheng say this, Feng Sizhe thought that the other party was going to cheat, so he was about to open his mouth to remind him, but who would have thought that he would slam the table and say as if he had made a big decision, "Okay, 5 billion is 5 billion, we will take it, but this money needs to be divided into batches, and it is difficult for us to transfer it all at once. So, I will take 3 billion first, and then after the New Year, I will take the remaining 2 billion to us. Okay, if Governor Feng doesn't believe it, I can give you a certificate."

Feng Sizhe was really surprised that Li Huaisheng suddenly became so easy to talk to and agreed immediately.

To be honest, Feng Sizhe had never thought that things would go so smoothly, and he had never thought that they would really give him 5 billion. In his opinion, half of it would be good enough. Now, the withdrawal of 3 billion is good enough, and he will get a certificate for the remaining 2 billion. This is definitely a good thing that he had not expected beforehand.

Suddenly faced with such a good thing, even though Feng Sizhe wanted to ask for help in every way, he really couldn't open his mouth at this moment.

Besides, even if the Ministry of Commerce achieves its goal, there are still the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission, right? These two departments are not always so smooth, so Feng Sizhe is going to take the 5 billion first.

Feng Sizhe immediately laughed and said, "Okay, okay, thank you so much for the strong support from the leaders of the Ministry of Commerce. On behalf of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, and the people of Ducheng Province, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. Thank you."

"Haha, no problem. Supporting local economic development is the job of our Ministry of Commerce." Li Huaisheng also laughed.

If he hadn't received a call from the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and knew that this was Comrade Qin Xianghua's intention, how could he have cooperated with this matter so well? However, since the higher-ups had given the order, he certainly didn't dare to violate it. Besides, this money didn't belong to the country, nor did it belong to him. It didn't matter who he gave it to.

Feng Sizhe left the Business Department very quickly. Even when he left, he was still confused. He really couldn't understand how this magic happened and why Li Huaisheng suddenly said such nice things. You have to know that this person is from the liberal arts department and is Wen Ruhao's uncle. Why did he suddenly treat him so well?

It was not until Feng Sizhe was driving to his second destination, the Ministry of Finance, and received a call from Ren Yingying in the car that he found out what was going on.

"What? You mean that the General Office of the Central Committee has ordered all departments to give the green light to our Ducheng Province, and this is the opinion of Comrade Qin Xianghua?" Feng Sizhe was very surprised after receiving Ren Yingying's call. He did not expect that this matter would move the highest leader.

"Yes, I just received a call from my father and found out what happened. So, this time my father has reported your matter to his superiors. It's quite a favor, right? You should express your gratitude in return." Ren Yingying said complacently on the other end of the phone.

Ren Yingying believed that it was because her father knew the real purpose of Feng Sizhe's coming to Kyoto during lunch, so he reported the matter to his superiors, which was equivalent to indirectly helping Feng Sizhe, so the Ren family should have made the greatest contribution.

Of course, this was just her thought. When Feng Sizhe heard the same thing, it was completely different.

Ren Tianfang alone could not make such a decision, at least he could not call these units in the name of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee. Even if he wanted to help, he could only do it in a private way. Now that he represented the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and said that this was Comrade Qin Xianghua's opinion, it could only mean one thing.

The matter had nothing to do with Ren Tianfang, it was simply Qin Xianghua's intention to do this.

Qin Xianghua did this mainly to allow Feng Sizhe to leave Kyoto earlier. Because he could only leave if he completed his set goal, which was equivalent to indirectly helping him.

Feng Sizhe suddenly felt that Qin Xianghua didn't want him to stay in Kyoto. As for the reason, he was not sure at that time. Maybe he was afraid that he would cause trouble here and make the already complicated situation more complicated.

Or maybe he was asked to avoid suspicion regarding the selection of the deputy secretary of the Capital Provincial Party Committee. As the governor of the Capital Province, he refused to leave Kyoto, which was indeed easy for people to make some associations.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Qin Xianghua does not want him to get involved in such a struggle in order to protect him.

In short, there are all kinds of reasons, but there is one thing that Feng Sizhe is clear about, that is, if his goal is really achieved, then he must leave Kyoto, because there is no reason for him to stay in Kyoto. If he still doesn't leave, then someone will really report him to the central government, and the consequences of that will be serious.

"Okay, thank you Yingying, I will treat you to a good meal later." Feng Sizhe hung up the phone and expressed his gratitude. He guessed that the call must be from Ren Tianfang. He was afraid that he would suffer if he did not understand the situation, but it was not easy for him to call in person to remind him, so he told his daughter to tell him.
