If Chen Ping was just speculating about the purpose of Li Jianjun coming to talk to him, then Chen Ping can now be completely sure that he is just giving outposts to the central leaders and helping the leaders inquire and grasp their own ideas.

After all, if he really just listened to what he said, there is no reason for Chen Ping to analyze and ask Chen Ping what aspect he would innovate. This is clearly a means for superiors to master the mentality and ideas of subordinates when making decisions. Chen Ping is now the deputy mayor, so he is very clear.

However, it is normal for the central government to put its future governance direction in public services, because for ordinary people, their requirements are actually very simple. They are nothing more than being able to take care of the elderly and have medical treatment, and they will not worry about not having enough food or clothing or not being warm. These are all within the scope of government public services.

As for the privileged class and the corruption of officials that most people hate, which are the privileged class and the corruption of officials, it is not that the central leaders do not want to solve it. In fact, every leader wants to solve the corruption problem in the officialdom. It goes without saying that the iron-fisted anti-corruption prime minister who threatened to prepare a coffin for himself in the previous term; although this leadership team seems calm on the surface, it is enough to overturn two deputy state-level officials who are central leaders to prove their skills and determination.

However, the corrupt officials have been formed. Relying on their determination and skills, no matter how many officials are defeated, they will be treated with symptoms but not the root cause.

There is a saying in the officialdom that no one is a beheaded official who wants to beheaded in one day, but someone is a beheaded official who wants to beheaded in a month. This means that the environment for becoming an official to make money and get rich has been formed and it is difficult to shake it. After all, the central leadership cannot arrest all corrupt officials across the country, and the government will almost be empty, let alone many anti-corruption people themselves are corrupt officials.

After the formation of corruption, the idea of ​​privilege will be produced. Now there is no way to solve corruption, so there is no need to think about the idea of ​​privilege.

So since we cannot do this, the rest can only be done on social welfare.

Just imagine that as long as ordinary people can eat well and wear well and have good jobs, the society will remain harmonious even if officials are corrupt; on the contrary, if ordinary people cannot eat well and wear warmly, then even if the government is honest, the society will be unstable.

Chen Ping thought carefully in his mind and finally gave Li Jianjun a positive answer: "I think the government's public service functions should be reformed in an institutional way."

"How to reform the system?" Li Jianjun asked meaningfully.

"Contract the public functions of the government as a project."

Chen Ping's answer seemed a little beyond Li Jianjun's expectations, which made a hint of surprise flash in his eyes. However, as the central leader, he had a good time to cultivate his energy, so he didn't say much, just waited quietly for Chen Ping's following.

"Director Li, the reason why our country wanted to carry out reform and opening up was because the situation of eating big pot rice and iron rice bowls seriously affected and restricted economic development. The public functions of the government are the same now," said Chen Ping. "Because all public service projects, whether they are nursing homes or rescue stations, are all taken care of by the government, and they are also the behavior of eating big pot rice."

"Although serving the people is the government's requirement for itself, such requirements are often unable to be implemented on comrades assigned to public service positions."

Speaking of this, Chen Ping paused for a moment and smiled helplessly, "Maybe Director Li, you also know that the current environment in the officialdom is very bad. Many comrades in the agency rely on their own staff as civil servants and always feel that they are superior. So since they have this idea, there is no way to talk about public services."

"That's why you think about sending out this function of the government?"

Li Jianjun asked, Chen Ping nodded, and Li Jianjun continued, "Then don't you think this is shirking responsibility?"

"I don't think this is shirking responsibility. On the contrary, I think this is a way to improve the quality of public services," said Chen Ping. "Now the government's function in public services is like a collective enterprise at the time. It takes too much money and innovation. It not only does it have insufficient motivation and innovation, but it seriously restricts development, but more importantly, it increases the burden on the government. High cost and low efficiency are obviously not the goal pursued by our party and government in the future."

Li Jianjun said: "I understand your idea. You think that since our government is not specialized in this area and is not efficient, it is better to leave it to some special companies in society to complete it."

"Director Li, that's what I mean," said Chen Ping. "With purchase, there will be competition. The introduction of a competition mechanism will not only make the quality of services better and better, but the government will also transform from a service provider to a supervisor. Doing so will not only improve the public service functions, but also complete the government's simplification of administration, killing two birds with one stone."

"Just like the iron rice bowls of collective enterprises were broken in the early stages of reform and opening up, introducing a competitive mechanism can easily bring blood and revitalize the enterprises." Li Jianjun said.

"Yes, Director Li, just like the pension dual-track system that is most hated by the people, it is difficult to change because the pension is operated by the government. Local comrades are naturally unwilling to change for their own interests. However, if social organizations are allowed to bear the pension payment, then the problem of the dual-track system can be effectively solved." Chen Ping said.

Li Jianjun pondered for a while and said, "Your idea is good, but it may be difficult to apply it to the actual application, right?"

"There will definitely be difficulty, but the development of foreign countries can provide us with a rich theoretical basis," Chen Ping nodded, "As far as I know, foreign countries are ahead of us in this regard. The United States has tried this regard as early as the 1980s, and can provide us with very good examples today."

"I can't tell that Mayor Chen, you are still very interested in the political situation abroad! Even when the United States began to implement this policy," Li Jianjun smiled, "but the situation in our country and abroad is different. Some things cannot be generalized."

Chen Ping said: "Director Li, your words are very correct. The function of contracting social services is a direction of exploration for the Party and the government in the reform. It is not a package of completely removing their responsibilities. What services need to be purchased from the society and which services are unshirkable must be clarified through standardized means."

"In addition, since this is a social contracting, public expenditure must be used, then if laws are formulated to achieve reasonable and legality, if such services are effectively supervised and restricted, and the corresponding rules are improved to ensure that such outsourcing can be in a standardized state, it will be the top priority before the Party and the government."

Chen Ping thought about it after saying this, and then continued: "Actually, our party and government should be exploring this kind of behavior."

Li Jianjun said in a little puzzled manner: "Exploring is underway? What is Mayor Chen's point of view?"

"For example, medical insurance and social security have been established to provide special funds to professionals for preservation and appreciation. Although the process may not be so satisfactory, it is also an exploration of the party and the government in the contracting of public services." Chen Ping said, "In addition to these, the financing platform established by our Luzhuang is actually a kind of exploration of contracting of public services to a certain extent."

Li Jianjun said in favor: "Originally, helping small and medium-sized enterprises solve the problem of financing difficulties should be completed by the Luzhuang Municipal Government, but the establishment of the financing platform can be handed over to the funded banks for joint management. The government retreated behind the scenes and became a supervisor, which can indeed be regarded as an innovative move to contract public functions. From the perspective of the economic development of Luzhuang City, it is also very positive."

"Thanks to Director Li for his positive evaluation of Luzhuang financing platform." Chen Ping said.
