Chapter 1206: Chapter 1162 Things depend on human effort Chapter 1206: Chapter 1162 Things depend on human effort Nie Jialei expressed these thoughts with a hint of bitterness on his face. Nie Jialei’s abilities and comprehension were quite comndable. This continuously made Nie Zhenbang nod in agreent inwardly.
Back in the day, when the Nie family fell from grace, it seed that it was also at that ti that Nie Jialei took charge of a region. Just this point alone was enough to demonstrate Nie Jialei’s capability.
Having two family mbers in the bureau’s committee was already defying heaven. The previous generation, brothers Nie Guodong and Nie Guowei, both entered the committee. It was a coincidental opportunity that created this chance.
Even so, Nie Guowei sacrificed a lot. rely serving one term as a Vice Premier, he then withdrew into the shadows. This is a pri example.
Now, within the third generation, the three brothers of the Nie family, Nie Zhenbang had already entered the level of the bureau’s committee. It was clear to any discerning observer that in the future, Nie Zhenbang would undoubtedly be one of the nine great ministers, which for any family, was an enormous opportunity.
Moreover, Nie Jiamin’s career in the military was also progressing well. The next major military region’s top position was certainly without suspense. Even entering the committee wasn’t impossible, given the Nie family’s profound foundation in the military.
This made Nie Jialei’s situation quite awkward. Three brothers from one family, if all beca mbers of the bureau’s committee—among them, one being one of the nine great ministers—how could this be explained? After all, there were only twenty-five people in the entire country who held such positions.
How could other families tolerate the existence of such a super family that overshadowed all others? Therefore, Nie Jialei had to make sacrifices; there was no helping it. This was the root of the difficulties Nie Jialei ntioned.
Nie Zhenbang wasn’t surprised that his elder brother could see things so clearly. With his elder brother’s talents, it would have been strange if he hadn’t perceived this.
After pondering for a mont, Nie Zhenbang said with a smile, “Elder brother, it’s not necessarily so. A lot depends on human effort.”
At this point, Nie Zhenbang paused before saying earnestly, “I actually think letting Yang Anguo take over your position is a rather good choice. Besides, isn’t your brother-in-law serving as the municipal party secretary sowhere in Yuzhou Province? Young people should indeed shoulder more responsibilities.”
Nie Zhenbang himself was only around forty-two or forty-three years old. Nie Jialei’s brother-in-law seed to be around the sa age as Nie Zhenbang. Even if he was a bit younger, it was only by a little. However, when Nie Zhenbang talked about him, it sounded old-fashioned, as if coming from an elderly person: “Young people need to take on more burdens.” If you didn’t look at him, you might think it was an old man speaking.
But Nie Jialei didn’t find anything awkward about it. In the world of martial arts, there is a saying, “The expert becos the master.” The sa is true within the system: status and rank determine everything.
With Nie Zhenbang’s position being what it was, no one dared to refute his words.
At this mont, Nie Jialei also began to ponder, feeling a spark of realization. If things were manipulated this way, it indeed seed possible.
To put it bluntly, this was also a form of exchanging interests. Nie Jialei’s marital family, although only a second-tier family in Jingcheng, still had quite a few connections. As for the family of Nie Zhenbang’s father-in-law, there was no need to ntion them. The Yang family of Jingcheng was certainly a top-tier family.
Yang Anguo’s current position was similar to Nie Jialei’s initial one, a vice-provincial level, an awkward status. It was hard to go further up, as the positions above weren’t so easy to take. Yang Anguo lacked in qualifications and foundation, but this wouldn’t be a problem for Nie Jialei.
Nie Jialei was a bit older than Yang Anguo, but what was more important was that Nie Jialei had already crossed the threshold of a full ministerial level and had a few years of experience in this position.
Bringing Yang Anguo to Huaxia Group, with the achievent of the automotive city awaiting, in exchange for the Yang family’s support for Nie Jialei, the Yang family would surely agree and be very willing to do so.
The sa went for Nie Jialei’s marital family. Pushing Nie Jialei’s brother-in-law up a step, into the vice-provincial level, presented no problem for Nie Zhenbang. He still had significant connections in Yuzhou Province. Li Taishi had retired as the party secretary of Yuzhou Province, which was a matter of face. Also, President Mu had once been the top official of Yuzhou Province. With these two relationships, promoting soone to a vice-provincial level wasn’t a big issue.
As Nie Jialei’s brother-in-law climbed up, naturally, they would fully support Nie Jialei in taking charge of a region. No matter what, this was also their son-in-law. With his status elevated, it would benefit them as well.
Nie Jialei listened, obviously very tempted, but after a mont, he gradually cald down and said to Nie Zhenbang, “Third brother, this seems like a good plan, but could it affect you? As for President Qiao…”
Nie Jialei’s words reflected his care and concern, which greatly comforted Nie Zhenbang. Brothers of the sa clan should have this kind of trust, mutual assistance, and considerate sincerity. Only with such attitudes can the family thrive. If it were deceit and mutual sabotage, the family could not last long.
Nie Jialei’s concerns were clear to Nie Zhenbang. The Huaxia Group had been established in his own hands, then passed to Nie Jialei, and now arrangents were being made for Yang Anguo. This was, after all, a state-owned ga corporation. It seed as if it were a private family business. Although it was founded by him, the original planner was President Qiao. Would this cause President Qiao to have concerns?
Moreover, whether it was the arrangent for Yang Anguo, the arrangent for Yuzhou Province, or even the arrangent under Nie Jialei’s jurisdiction, none of this could be resolved with just a few words or smooth talking. It would have to go through the Organization Departnt, or even the Bureau Committee. In doing so, so favors would inevitably be owed.
In this world, the most difficult debt to repay is a debt of gratitude. Such actions would undoubtedly have so impact on him.
But at this mont, Nie Zhenbang seed unconcerned as he waved his hand and said, “Big brother, there’s no need to worry about these things. I will take care of everything for you.”
As he spoke, Nie Zhenbang naturally exuded an aura of authority. So-called cultivation of the body for long-term high positions had naturally endowed Nie Zhenbang with an extraordinary bearing. The Nie Zhenbang of today was not the downtrodden cripple of before.
He paused, stopping the impulse that Nie Jialei had to speak, and went on, “Big brother, I understand what you an, there’s no need for brothers to speak of such things. When our father was alive, he often said that brothers should be courteous, kind, and respectful to each other. His favorite saying was ‘Harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all endeavors.’ We are of direct bloodline. In the past, I wasn’t capable, but now, since I have the ability, it’s only right that I take care of these matters. There’s even the ancient legend that when one man achieves the Way, his chicken and dogs ascend to heaven.”
“Third brother, I…” Nie Jialei’s face showed deep emotion. Nie Jialei, being proud and arrogant as the first son and grandson of the Nie family, had his pride, which was typical. But ever since Nie Zhenbang had appeared, he had always been overshadowed. Initially resentful in his heart, Nie Jialei had co to accept the situation, and now, it was admiration—genuine and from the heart. In terms of character, Nie Jialei had completely submitted.
From a different perspective, in the other’s shoes, Nie Jialei admitted he couldn’t match Nie Zhenbang’s excellence.
“Hehe, big brother, is there really a need for two brothers to be so sentintal? Besides, this also benefits . You know, my youth is actually a big disadvantage,” Nie Zhenbang said with a smile.
Youth ant a lack of extensive connections. Comparing himself to others, Nie Zhenbang’s biggest weakness was having fewer capable people at his disposal. Many past subordinates had retired. Every step Nie Zhenbang took was equivalent to the journey others took an entire lifeti to complete. Like Lin Mohan and others, who were also not young anymore. When it ca ti for Nie Zhenbang to take over, this would be the flaw he faced.
But Nie Jialei was well aware that, although it seed that way on the surface, this was not the most important thing.
With the third brother’s ability, supported by President Qiao and President Mu, the third brother wasn’t without advantages and opportunities. Saying it this way was rely to make himself feel more justified.
After pondering for a mont, Nie Jialei nodded and said, “Third brother, you’re right, united brothers can cut through tal. From now on, my hundred-plus pounds are in your hands.”
This statent was Nie Jialei’s complete recognition. Nie Zhenbang also smiled happily and then said with seriousness, “Big brother, let’s not talk about those things anymore. Right now, the most important thing is the auto-city project. It’s a key part of my taking office in Longxi and is related to the overall developnt of the Western Region. The key now is the auto-city. In the upcoming negotiations with LT Investnt Group Company, you’ll have to tread carefully.”
By treading carefully, he ant to be sowhat flexible where necessary, letting so things slide as long as they didn’t violate principles. This was also an elent of successful negotiation.
Nie Jialei naturally understood this and nodded imdiately, “Don’t worry, I know what I need to do.”
Listening, Nie Zhenbang laughed heartily and said, “Big brother, just stick to the principles and bottom lines. I wouldn’t want the Huaxia Group to suffer just to make this deal happen. That would tarnish your reputation. Stick to what needs to be stuck to. So minor details can be relaxed a little.”
Nie Zhenbang thought long and hard but still did not reveal his thoughts outright. Although it was very likely that LT Investnt Group Company was a subsidiary of Tenglong Consortium and possibly orchestrated by Li Lixue and Dong Wan, there were other possibilities. With no certainty, nobody could be sure.
Besides, even if it could be certain, Nie Zhenbang wouldn’t disclose it. The Tenglong Consortium, a leviathan with wealth surpassing an entire nation, was terrifying, especially for a major country like Huaxia. If others knew that Nie Zhenbang possessed such trendous power, combined with his status, even President Qiao might beco uneasy. Such a foolish mistake was not sothing Nie Zhenbang would make. (
