The Legendary Story of Qian Ren (1)
Qian Ren suddenly appeared in front of my office door. If it weren't for our encounter in Qiantown the other day, he wouldn't have come so abruptly without an invitation. I had no choice but to invite him into my office.
He reported to me the preparation for building Fushui No. 2 Bridge, which will connect Qianzhen with Dabird County on the other side of the river. The purpose is to bring Qianzhen closer to railway transportation because the railway is located on the north bank of Fushui River, while Qianzhen is on the south bank. I said that such matters should be reported to the competent authorities and leaders in charge. He said that those places have been reported, and now he has come specifically to report to me.
Since returning from Fuzhou's Puan Town, Puan Ren has left an indelible impression on me. This person can be said to be an expert who is well-versed in the true conditions at the grassroots level. He can navigate with ease and familiarity in that place where the wind rises, clouds gather, lightning flashes, and thunder rumbles; he can also create a favorable atmosphere in that place where the mountains and rivers surge forward. This kind of person is an emergency "Langzhong".
Qian Ren can be said to be a well-known figure in Q Province. Before I arrived in Q City, I had already heard of him. He is a local native who was born and raised in the area. At the age of 20, he worked as a salesperson in a village-run factory, at 30 he became the manager of the factory, and at 32 he became the general manager of the Qian Village Agricultural Industrial and Commercial Company and the secretary of the village branch. At 38, he became the party secretary of Qian Town and the chairman and general manager of the Qian Town Enterprise Group. Five years later, he became a member of the Standing Committee of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and a representative of the Q Province People's Congress. He has received numerous honors, including National Labor Model, Top Ten Outstanding Youth in China, National Poverty Alleviation Champion, and Science and Technology Star Fire Pioneer. It is said that Qian Ren has very good relationships, from the village to the town, from the city to the province, all the way to the central government, he has friends who are very influential.
It was about ten years ago, when the country's socialist primary stage was proposed, many well-known and somewhat powerful enterprises were engaged in financing and fundraising. The goal was to gather funds from all sectors of society for their own use, to expand themselves, expand their scale, and increase their efficiency. These companies attracted funds with high returns and high interest rates, promising investors that they were the cradle of nurturing billionaires.
At that time, those who felt smarter than others invested their family's savings in these money-making ventures. However, after several seasons, the situation took a drastic turn. These companies that had attracted large sums of money began to incur losses, became insolvent, and eventually went bankrupt. Not only did depositors fail to receive interest, but they also lost their principal. In essence, this was a gamble, where investors were placing bets, and the bosses (company executives) were also placing bets with other people's money (mostly speculating in stocks, futures, and high-risk industries). When the bosses lost (which was inevitable), the investors' funds naturally evaporated.
At that time, this investor was also financing and making such high-risk bets. However, he didn't lose. He should be a thorough winner, a big winner. Some people say that the reason why he stands out among many losers is that his method is superior to others.
At that time, Qian Ren was already the number one in Qiantown, not only the secretary of the town party committee but also the chairman of the board of directors of Qiantown Enterprise Group. There was even a rumor circulating throughout Province Q that he was a typical figure cultivated by the then provincial party secretary. This rumor was indeed formidable and undoubtedly gave him credibility. With this credibility, he led his elite troops to start their unique financing work. At that time, every day at 5 am, his Audi car (his dedicated vehicle at the time)
He was already fully prepared, and the several Audis that were to follow him had also made preparations to set out at any time. He wanted to lead his people to the provincial government's family compound in Q City to raise funds. In fact, he didn't lack money at all at that time, and many banks and foreign businessmen came to his door to ask him to borrow money. Why did he need to go to the provincial government's family compound to find money? Indeed, he wasn't going there to raise funds, but rather to seek benefits for the special residents there. In his words, "Only when I think of others in my heart will they think of me in their hearts." Of course, this person's family was not ordinary people, and ordinary people would not only be unable to help him, but would also cause trouble. This is where he was more clever than those unlucky financing companies. Of course, the so-called "clever" ones are always a minority, and it's hard to find them. If everyone had known what they knew at that time and gone to do it, would it still be considered clever?
The family courtyard of the provincial party committee is not a place that ordinary people can enter, especially the G Courtyard (the family courtyard of the provincial party committee is not in one location). The G Courtyard is home to provincial-level figures (including several retired veteran cadres who still live here), and the guards are very strict.
However, for the people of Qianren or the vehicles of Qiantown, it is a green light. In this place, Qiantown seems to have special treatment, and Qianren is like a lucky star in the hearts of the residents here, being able to contact him and his townspeople is a kind of good fortune.
