Chapter 3151

This grand reception banquet held at the Dinghai Port Naval Base lasted until the moon came to an end on the branches.

No one comes to this kind of formal official banquet just for drinking and having fun. If he loses his temper after drinking in front of senior officials of the Executive Committee, his career may end.

Therefore, when the party ended, there was almost no drunkenness. All the guests lined up at the door and respectfully saw off the executive committee and the others.

According to the itinerary, the executive committee will also stay in Zhoushan for two days to inspect the East China Sea Fleet station, as well as local ports and trade facilities, before setting off for Hangzhou.

In addition, Chen Yixin, the governor of the Northern Region, was also on his way to Zhoushan from Shandong. He happened to meet up here and then headed to Hangzhou together. According to the itinerary he reported, he would arrive at Dinghai Port in one day at the latest.

Shi Diwen was very satisfied with this banquet that had been prepared for a long time. Whether it was the cooperation of several colleagues on the executive committee or the performance of his subordinate officials, he was very proud and achieved the expected results.

Although Shi Diwen has been under a separate regime in the Donghai Region for more than 20 years, and his treatment is no different from that of the Tu emperor, his status is still just a high-ranking member of one party. It was not until Tao Donglai announced the results of the executive committee election in public today that he truly became a leader. One of the nine people who hold the power of the empire.

It took a long time to take this final step from the regional governor to the executive committee member, but Shi Diwen knew that all the waiting and efforts were worth it.

From now on, every word he speaks and every order he issues will not only take effect within the Donghai Region, but may also become a policy implemented nationwide.

However, Shi Diwen was not dazzled by the victory. After returning to his residence, he called Shi Chengwu and Shi Chengxin to the study room and asked them to talk about their gains and feelings today.

Shi Chengwudao: "Although I had known about the news that my father was elected to the executive committee earlier, I never really felt it. It was not until Mr. Tao announced the matter in public today that I finally felt the significance of this place."

Shi Chengxin said: "Brother is right. The officials from Sanya, as well as foreign envoys, are very respectful to my father, which is different from the past."

Shi Diwen smiled and did not comment on the two brothers' views.

In the past, when these Beijing officials and foreign envoys came to the East China Sea Region, they often dealt with Shi Diwen. Although there was no lack of compliments, they lacked a sense of awe.

This is not because they don’t respect Shi Diwen, but because these people are used to staying in Sanya, they subconsciously think that the governors of overseas regions are one level lower than the members of the executive committee. When facing Shi Diwen, their attitudes are natural. There will be subtle differences.

Shi Chengwu continued: "Also, many people at today's banquet are eager to show off in front of the other adults on the executive committee. I think some people may have forgotten who gave them their jobs! ”

Shi Diwen said: "Everyone has the desire to make progress. It is human nature to want to attract the attention of the executive committee and strive for a good future for one's official career. As long as you don't intend to step on me to climb up, you will be messing around outside. Don’t worry too much about talking.”

Shi Chengxin said: "Even if the other adults want to know about the situation in the East China Sea Region, they probably won't regard these people's comments as their first reference. Tao Hongfang and the others have been here for almost a year, so how can they be better than Local officials are more reliable.”

Tao Hongfang, Ning Zijing, Bai Letong, and Ha Jianyi did not return to Sanya after completing their inspection last year. Instead, they stayed in the Donghai Region and took temporary posts. This is partly because of the factors that allow them to serve as eyes and ears here. .

Shi Diwen also cooperated with Sanya's intention, provided these young people with quite good positions, and gave them the opportunity to be exposed to all aspects of the Donghai Region's affairs, and communicated to the Executive Committee through this special channel information. Shi Diwen said in a deep voice: "Tao Hongfang and the others are all trained by various families as their successors. Maybe in ten or twenty years, they will succeed their fathers and become members of the executive committee." Member.”

"What kind of views do they have on the Donghai Region and the development of the country? You might as well pay attention to it and communicate with them more. Their thoughts are probably the thoughts of their fathers."

The two brothers looked at each other and quickly bowed in agreement.

Tao Hongfang and others were trained as successors to power, so why not the two brothers? Now that Shi Diwen has joined the executive committee, they also have the opportunity to obtain the qualifications to join the executive committee in the future by inheriting the power of their fathers.

However, this also means that if they want to stand at the pinnacle of power, they must face the situation that Shi Diwen has experienced and stand out from hundreds of competitors. The outstanding figures among the second generation may become their competition in the future.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. What Shi Diwen said was the guidance given to the two brothers. Competition is not just a matter of one generation, but continues from the parents' generation to theirs.

Of course, if their parents win the competition, they will face fewer difficulties in the future.

The two brothers were not stupid. They immediately understood Shi Diwen's intentions and secretly calculated the depth of their friendship with Tao Hongfang and others.

However, Tao Hongfang did not expect the role he played at this time. He was talking with his father Tao Donglai about the situation after a year of absence.

Since Tao Hongfang left Sanya last year, he has been able to communicate with his family only through letters and telegrams. The amount of information these methods can carry is very limited, and it is difficult to explain his various experiences during this period.

Now that I have finally arrived in Donghai Region for the Executive Committee’s northern tour, I can talk to my father face to face about my feelings during this period.

"Tell me, in your eyes, what is the difference between the Donghai Region and Hainan Island?"

Tao Donglai's question was very simple, but Tao Hongfang did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment before answering: "I think the biggest difference is the environment."

"The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions under the jurisdiction of the Donghai Region have always been known as a land of plenty. Compared with Hainan Island, the products here are richer."

"But this area has only been officially included in the territory of our country in recent years. The influence left by the Ming Dynasty is far greater than that of Hainan Island. Many places still follow the system of the Ming Dynasty, even places like Hangzhou that are positioned as the future capital. Exceptionally, people still have a lot of resistance to our country’s new system.”

"Haier thinks that if we extrapolate based on the governance experience of Hainan Island, it will take less than ten or twenty years to achieve results."
