Chapter 825: Chapter 562: Building a Battalion Together!
The presence or absence of leadership makes a complete difference.
Vice Mayor Qin and Captain Xia toasted each person one by one, and everyone was flattered. As long as Vice Mayor Qin toasted them, they would all drink it in one go.
Hao Qiusheng, Boss Wang, Zhang Erxiao, Wu Heng, and other executives and reserve officers, upon learning that tonight’s dinner was arranged by the Linghai Port Supervision Office and not funded by the camp, strongly suggested having the next eting at their place and letting them arrange it.
Vice Mayor Qin and Captain Xia were very pleased, toasted them again, and thanked them for their support of the camp’s work. They even exchanged business cards and stored each other’s phone numbers to keep in touch in the future.
Having money brings status, even leaders see them in a different light!
Seeing Hao Qiusheng, Boss Wang, Zhang Erxiao, and Wu Heng looking so pleased, everyone, including Captain Wu, was envious. After all, although they held various positions in their units, they didn’t have much say. And so of their units were essentially ’clean’ offices where even if they could have a say, they lacked the capability.
Xiao Yu wasn’t envious at all, thinking Zhang Erxiao and Wu Heng were foolish, falling for Sister Zhu and Sister Xiang Ning’s tricks.
It’s important to know that Vice Mayor Qin is the highest leader of the Binjiang Reserve Group. Sister Zhu and Sister Xiang Ning had to support Vice Mayor Qin’s work. If Vice Mayor Qin wasn’t Sister Zhu’s significant other, Sister Xiang Ning would never have arranged this dinner.
Watching the "subordinates" either line up to toast Vice Mayor Qin and Captain Xia or hold their glasses while chatting and laughing, Han Yu suddenly felt as if his camp had gone off course, seemingly becoming a platform for networking and exchanges.
For instance, the executive "elder brother" Hao Qiusheng, after toasting Vice Mayor Qin and Captain Xia, went on to fraternize with Dong Maosheng from Customs. One didn’t even need to listen closely to know he was determined to buy that seized second-hand excavator from Customs.
Another example is Guo Hao, a military transfer official from Sanhe Street, whose family mber seed to have fallen ill, quietly consulting his brother-in-law Liang Xiaojun.
Master Brother wasn’t in high spirits, gloomily sitting in a corner, drinking sullenly. Wang Yan had his arm around him, whispering as if consoling him.
Old Shi privately ntioned the day before yesterday that ever since Master Brother was transferred back to the bureau, it hadn’t been smooth sailing.
The new director is difficult to serve, which is unavoidable. Now wanting to transfer back to the Developnt Zone Branch seems unlikely, so he can only endure for the ti being. In retrospect, Director Zhou’s well-intentioned help ended up backfiring.
It’s worth ntioning that due to health issues, Director Zhou was transferred out of the police system and is now a mber of the Linghai Municipal People’s Political Consultative Conference Party Group. He doesn’t have to oversee specific work and doesn’t usually need to attend work at the Political Consultative Conference.
This incident shows that Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian are very compassionate.
In situations like Zhou Huixin’s, most people would be sent ho to rest, only receiving basic salary without bonuses or allowances. Having the work relationship transferred to the Political Consultative Conference and arranging a role as a mber of the Party Group is different, allowing for a substantial increase in monthly earnings.
As Han Yu was contemplating this, suddenly he noticed Luo Wenjiang sneaking glances over.
In the afternoon eting, he had arrived at nine-thirty in the morning, asking all kinds of questions as soon as he got there. During the eting, his expression was very strange. Could he have sothing on his mind?
There were too many people now, not convenient to ask.
Han Yu decided to ask after the eting concluded.
After the eting, instead of returning to the city right away, Vice Mayor Qin and Captain Xia surprisingly called him, Yang Jianbo, and Liu Degui to the lounge on the fourth floor.
"Mayor Qin, please have so tea first."
"No worries, I haven’t drunk too much. They’re still holding back, not daring to really go at it with ."
Vice Mayor Qin laughed heartily and turned to point at Captain Xia, "Even if they want to get
drunk, I’m not afraid. Captain Xia can really hold his drink, with him around, he can knock them all out!"
Captain Xia quickly responded, "No, no, Mayor Qin, age doesn’t spare anyone. I can’t handle drinking now."
"Don’t be modest, I’ve witnessed your drinking capacity." Seeing Han Xiangning finishing making tea and intending to leave, Vice Mayor Qin looked up and smiled, "Ningning, where are you going? Sit down."
"Mayor Qin, you’re having a eting, it’s not appropriate for
to be here."
"Old Zhu told
you’re now also a reserve officer and the second secretary of the camp. How can a eting not include you?"
"Alright then, I’ll help you pour tea."
Han Xiangning smiled charmingly and sat on the chair next to the water dispenser.
Vice Mayor Qin turned back to the puzzled Yang Jianbo and Liu Degui, raised his teacup and smiled, "Salted Fish, although I haven’t drunk much today, my mind is a bit fuzzy. At the table, you ntioned that the third company has several squads, exactly how many, I can’t rember."
Without hesitation, Han Yu replied, "There are eleven squads in total: fuel, power, communications, floating crane, ferry, water transport, water supply, dunship, cooking, equipnt repair, and guard duty."
"What about the sanitation and epidemic prevention squad?"
"The sanitation and epidemic prevention squad is directly under the camp."
"Sanitation and epidemic prevention also fall under logistics support; it can completely be included in the third company."
"Mayor Qin, we initially considered it as well, but mainly because we were worried that having too many platoon-level units would be problematic, so we separated the health and epidemic prevention team."
Company One only has four teams, and Company Two has three teams.
Company Three has eleven teams, more than Companies One and Two combined, which is a bit exaggerated.
Han Yu was worried the leaders would mistakenly think he didn’t understand the military, so he explained, "We set it up this way mainly considering that Company Three is a water service company, and splitting it up and reorganizing would be detrintal to unified command and logistical support."
Vice Mayor Qin exchanged a glance with Captain Xia and smiled, "Comrades, before coming over this afternoon, Secretary Lu called
and asked if the Developnt Zone could co-establish a camp with you."
"Mayor Qin, which Secretary Lu?"
"Our Deputy Secretary Lu from Binjiang."
Seeing Han Yu and the others’ faces filled with astonishnt, Vice Mayor Qin smiled and explained, "Secretary Lu also serves as the secretary of the Binjiang Economic and Technological Developnt Zone. Similarly, Binjiang Developnt Zone needs to form a reserve camp, but the situation in Binjiang Developnt Zone is quite special. Their jurisdiction is small, with a total area smaller than your Linghai Developnt Zone.
The population is not small, but mainly consists of migrant workers employed by the enterprises in the Developnt Zone. Their household registration is not in the Developnt Zone, not even in Binjiang, and they are very transient. There are even fewer local residents, fewer than those on Sanhe Street, and even fewer eligible for reserve service."
As the Camp Commander, Han Yu needs to consider how to organize the Linghai Reserve Camp effectively.
As the regint leader, Captain Xia has to consider the work of the entire regint.
Seeing the young "Binjiang Water Army Commander" lost in thought, he put down his teacup and added, "Although Binjiang Developnt Zone is a national-level developnt zone, a Vice Director level unit, due to the special setup of the developnt zone’s institutions, they don’t even have a real Ard Forces Departnt.
This is quite similar to your situation in Linghai Developnt Zone. The Ard Forces Minister of the Binjiang Developnt Zone is not an active duty officer but is also a mber of the Working Committee. For them, setting up a camp is indeed not easy. Even if they wanted to organize troops on paper, they might not be able to muster that many people."
The Binjiang Economic and Technological Developnt Zone is certainly the arch-rival of the Linghai Economic and Technological Developnt Zone.
Secretary Ye, Mayor Qian, and Deputy Mayor Shen are desperately attracting investnts, striving to first build the Linghai Developnt Zone into a provincial-level economic and technological developnt zone, and then find a way to elevate it to a national-level economic developnt zone.
Binjiang Developnt Zone is different; they’re lucky!
It was established in the second year after Binjiang was designated one of the first coastal open cities, founded as a Vice Director level national economic and technological developnt zone.
Unlike the developnt zones established later, which have to undergo layer upon layer of assessnts to qualify as national-level zones, such as achieving a certain annual output value, export earnings, and per square kiloter industrial land output value.
Doing the sa work, I even do it better than you, so why are you a Vice Director level while I’m only Full Departnt Level?
The Linghai Developnt Zone Managent Committee has always disliked the Binjiang Developnt Zone. Secretary Ye, Mayor Qian, and Deputy Mayor Shen will certainly not agree to let Binjiang Developnt Zone ride on their coattails.
As a mber of the Linghai Developnt Zone Party Working Committee, Han Yu feels the sa way.
Moreover, Mayor Qian has long advised staying away from Binjiang, to prevent Binjiang from reaping Linghai’s hard-earned success, but these words must stay in his heart.
Han Yu thought for a mont and laughed, "Mayor Qin, we have enough people in our camp, but most of their household registrations are not in Binjiang Developnt Zone."
"That’s easy; when the higher-ups co to inspect, just say how many people are employees of the Developnt Zone companies."
"Comrade Han Yu, our troops and your police are separate systems. When personnel from the Cadre Section and Military Affairs Section co for inspection, as long as comrades bring their ID cards to prove their identity, the higher-ups won’t check everyone’s specific work units."
Although Yang Jianbo is an active duty officer in the regint, he has been busy in Sanhe organizing the Linghai Reserve Camp. Seeing city and regint leaders trying to help Binjiang Developnt Zone reap benefits, he felt equally frustrated and couldn’t help but say, "Commander, there are no work units on ID cards, but political review files do."
Captain Xia, who now has one camp and wants a second, retorted, "Who would check the files?"
Although Liu Degui is not a native Linghai person, after working in Linghai for so many years, he long considered himself a Linghai person, and now he truly is a Linghai person.
The Linghai people have no affection for Binjiang.
When anything happens, they only go to the East Sea. If it weren’t for being a cadre, they might never go to Binjiang in their lifeti.
He also doesn’t want Binjiang Developnt Zone to share in their achievents, but he’s rely a Deputy Director-level manager in a public institution, and has no authority to object. All he can do is furrow his brow, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Vice Mayor Qin slightly regretted not notifying his partner in advance, letting them help with Salted Fish’s work. But it’s too late to say anything now, so he can only smile and say, "Salted Fish, Company Three has eleven teams. If the health and epidemic prevention team is included, there will be twelve teams. By then, Company Three can completely be elevated to a camp."
Captain Xia seized the opportunity and said, "Let’s no longer ntion Linghai Reserve Camp or Binjiang Developnt Zone Reserve Camp. From now on, Company One and Company Two are Binjiang Reserve Group Flood Relief and Rescue Mobile Assault Battalion, and Company Three is Binjiang Reserve Group Flood Relief and Rescue Support Camp!"
"Regardless of how many camps are organized, they are still under your command."
Vice Mayor Qin turned to look at Captain Xia and laughed again, "Considering that the First Battalion Commander cannot command the Second Battalion, I’ll go to the regint tomorrow morning to convene a party committee eting and discuss appointing you as the Vice Chief of Staff of the Binjiang Reserve Team and concurrently the First Battalion Commander. Then you can rightfully command."
