Chapter 468 The governor is not as thick-skinned as the mayor
The support funds for characteristic agriculture have been allocated according to all needs, but Du Wanghai, as the director of the Finance Department, was very uneasy. He also knew very well what happened in the provincial capital. A relative was a leader in the General Office of the Provincial Government, and the new mayor was not at all inferior to the vice governor. Then if he came back and knew that the three million people were misappropriated, would it turn out to be shot in the foot?
Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. If he had known to see the direction of the wind before taking action, in his mind, a new leader would have to stabilize for a period of time and handle the relationship with all parties. Only when his faction was established could he gradually make his voice...: Moreover, Secretary Zhang was deeply rooted in Linghe City, and it was not something that a novice like Gao Jianbin could shake in a short time, but now he suddenly realized that he had guessed it completely and was very wrong. Even the dignified vice governor dared to contradict him. How could he be afraid of the suppression of the municipal party secretary?
What made Du Wanghai worried was that according to the financial process, he had to sign the mayor before he could allocate funds to the outside world. This was the reason why he was untenable. Du Wanghai put all his treasures on the municipal party secretary and several members of the standing committee. The embezzlement was acquiesced by Secretary Zhang, and he did not put the money on his own account, but paid a lot of projects.
These approved applications do not have major violations of regulations and disciplines, but are relatively reasonable expenses, such as the costs of leaders going out for group inspections, transportation subsidies, communications, house repair costs, vehicle replacement and hospitality costs, etc. After several years of accumulation of holes, they have long become bottomless pits. There is no way. If you don’t have money in finance, you are always dragged. Anyway, you are not afraid of someone coming to ask for the account. Do you want to stay in this place?
What Du Wanghai wanted to cry was that not only did he throw this little money away but he didn't even hear a sound, but he also offended many leaders. It's hard to be a good person these days. If he had known, it would be better to not pay a penny. There was no way to push Mayor Gao out of that way. If the leader didn't sign, I dare not allocate it. If you want money, you can ask the mayor to sign it! He calculated carefully that if all the expenses of these leaders were calculated, let alone two million. Even 20 million was not enough. The office conditions in Linghe City were very poor. The office places were already aging and dilapidated, and this item alone would probably require tens of millions of investment.
When he was struggling, the office director knocked on the door and said, "Director Du, Deputy Mayor Wang Zhuoguang's secretary just called and said that Mayor Wang would come to the Finance Bureau in an hour." Du Wanghai immediately sat down. This money was a special fund for rural areas. If Deputy Mayor Wang knew that the money was misappropriated, it would be strange if he didn't hate him to death! Those who can become deputy mayor are not easy to mess with. Alas, if I had known that I would have regretted it, I would have regretted it before!
When Gao Jianbin saw Secretary Fang Dehui, he was fiddling with the flowers and plants growing in the yard. Fang Meng came to him with a sweet smile and said, "Dad, our senior is here." Fang Dehui turned around. He was in his fifties and looked elegant and handsome, but he looked like a university professor. He must have been very handsome when he was young. Despite this, Gao Jianbin still saw the wise divine light in his eyes, and an invisible aura made him feel a little nervous.
Gao Jianbin hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Secretary Fang, you have taken the liberty to disturb your rest." Fang Dehui smiled slightly, shook hands with him and said, "This is at home, not in the office. Don't be too restricted. I happened to make a pot of tea, let's chat while drinking." Then he smiled at Xu Binglan, who was talking to his daughter secretly, and said, "Lan'er. Call your father over, and Comrade Jianbin from the province will come to your house later."
Fang Dehui did not start the topic first. Instead, he arranged for Gao Jianbin to sit down, went back to the room and made a phone call, and said, "Comrade Xiliang, please come to me. Comrade Gao Jianbin from Linghe City arrived at the provincial capital. I called him over and let everyone meet and chat." After a while, Governor Zhou Xiliang and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Xu Dongjiang entered the yard with a joke, and the atmosphere between them seemed very harmonious.
According to the ranking, today is a gathering of No. 1,23 people from the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee. Gao Jianbin stood up hurriedly and shook hands with the two leaders to say hello. Zhou Xiliang smiled and said, "Comrade Jianbin, although he had known your name for a long time before, this is the first time he has seen me. He is indeed young and promising. I went to Kyoto for a meeting these days, and you are about to expose the provincial government."
This sentence seems to be accusation. It is absolutely impossible for the leaders who are here to hide what happened to the provincial government. Some of them are those who are rushing to inform the news. Gao Jianbin's expression did not change at all. "Three people become tigers, and the words between the two will be distorted. If they say too much, things will be very twists and turns. Imagine and guess the spread of rumors will deviate from the track. Vice Governor Zhang and I only have different views on a certain job, so we have been discussing and communicating for a long time on this issue. For Vice Governor Zhang's personal guidance, I cherish this opportunity very much."
Zhou Xiliang smiled slightly when he heard this answer, his eyes did not hide his appreciation at all. This young man faced himself as the governor, and his answers were clear and rigorous in answering questions, but he had no flaws. He also knew how to maintain the authority of the leader and looked at the overall situation. Leaders liked such young and experienced leading cadres who had the potential to do things. If a mayor still highlights his personality, speaks without any rudeness and is unreasonable, he would not be a qualified mayor.
Listening to the two of them, Fang Mengchen, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but secretly envious, feeling that today was really eye-opening. Although he and Gao Jianbin were not much different from each other, he was even two years older, but he was still very far from the mayor in dealing with the leadership and organizational language arts.
Zhou Xiliang said seriously: "Comrade Jianbin, although you have been to Linghe City for a short time, I believe you should know the situation there? Linghe City has always been a prefecture-level city ranked at the bottom in the province. Over the years of reform and opening up, there has not been any fundamental improvement. There are many people, few land, few mountains, few minerals, and the city's industrial foundation is weak. Most of the enterprises are in the primary stage. The high-tech content and added value of the products are very low. The production capacity and technical level of agricultural and sideline products are not satisfactory. The provincial party committee and government attach great importance to the development prospects of Linghe City. I want to know your next idea of the economic work of Linghe City. Under reasonable conditions, you can also appropriately ask the superiors."
Gao Jianbin almost burst into tears when he heard this. Why is the governor's words worth hundreds of millions of yuan? He said a little excitedly: "Thank you for your support to our Linghe City. This is the best news I have heard since I arrived in our province. Thank you, the governor, there must be some requirements. It is mainly reflected in..."
Zhou Xiliang suddenly realized the last sentence, there was an obvious loophole, which could easily make the young man take advantage of the loophole. Looking at the smile on Gao Jianbin's face, he quickly interrupted him and said, "I know you are a very powerful expert. He has unique insights on attracting investment and developing enterprises. He once created the top 100 towns in the country, and was called the hand of God by Nanjiang Province and many major media. So I have some restrictions on the requirements, that is, there is no problem with giving you policies. But don't talk to me in terms of funds. Of course, the economic situation of our province is not as rich as that of Nanjiang Province, and the finances are also stretched. If possible, I hope you can bring some funds to the provincial liberal arts and have so many resources in your hands. It should play a good role."
Gao Jianbin was almost angry at this sentence and was unconscious. Isn’t this a waste of money? He showed difficulties but did not give actual support. We wouldn’t play like this. A governor asked the mayor to raise funds from the subordinates, which would lose the glorious image of the boss!
Seeing Gao Jianbin's speechless look, Zhou Xiliang added a fire and said, "I remember that you have a good relationship with many Fortune 500 companies in the world. If the investment environment in Linghe City is not in place for the time being, you can help the province bring two of them first. I will approve the fees separately for you. How about it?"
The meaning of his words was not expected to be true. Gao Jianbin brought to Haizhou City, Nanjiang Province, all the big customers were the hearts of the Nanjiang Provincial Government. If he really brought to Lingnan Province, it would be strange if the other party didn't turn his face with him. He mainly wanted to block Gao Jianbin's mouth and could not let him make financial requirements. At his level, he knew very well how terrifying Gao Jianbin's energy was. As long as he did it, it was estimated that hundreds of millions of dollars would be able to be in place in an instant. As long as he didn't pay the money, the leader's face would be temporarily put on.
Gao Jianbin took a deep breath and said, "Since the leader has spoken, I will not mention money anymore. I understand the difficulties of the provincial finance. The economic development of Linghe City is now stuck in transportation, which is the biggest obstacle to locking up opportunities. I only have one requirement, and it is very simple, which is to comprehensively repair the existing roads in Linghe City, open up several major roads, connect them with provincial and national highways, and form a well-connected transportation network. If the provincial party committee and government can achieve the conditions I mentioned, if Linghe City cannot reach the top five GDP rankings in the province within five years, and the four poor counties cannot get rid of the hat of poverty, I will automatically resign to the provincial party committee. Governor Zhou, my requirement is not high, right?"
Oh, I’m going to write a letter of war! Fang Dehui and Xu Dongjiang laughed at the side. This is to use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. Okay, people don’t want money. The corresponding condition is that the province supports road construction and clearly states the military order. It depends on whether you, the governor, accept the call or not. Can’t you be a scoundrel? If you accept it, the finances of the whole province will vomit blood for half a year. The road figure is calculated in terms of 100 million yuan.
Zhou Xiliang felt very depressed when the governor was defeated by the mayor, but Gao Jianbin said it to this level. If he refused, he would feel that he could not speak out. This kid is really a little fox. It would have been fine if he had known that he would have symbolically approved several hundred million. Now it is better. It is not a problem of several hundred million. It is always more than one billion or even billions. The most expensive project to build roads in the province last year was more than one four billion, and the budget limit for this year was 15.7 billion. It is estimated that Linghe City alone would account for one quarter. The governor felt sorry for spending money. Movement is money. If he didn't cover his pockets and make careful calculations, it would not work.
Zhou Xiliang said: "Okay, you arrange the road transportation department of Linghe City to calculate the amount of funds needed. The provincial finance will give you two-thirds of the money, and your Linghe City will bear one-third of the burden. If you can't make any results, let's see how I deal with you!"
Gao Jianbin said happily: "Thank you for your support from the governor. That person has another requirement. The provincial government has the right to supervise the use of funds, but the right to use is in the hands of our Linghe Municipal Government." Zhou Xiliang snorted and said: "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Isn't it just to use this money to boost the strength of the local road engineering company, increase taxes and reduce financial pressure? You can even mobilize the masses to participate and improve the income of some people according to manual expenditure. This is a good thing for Linghe City. I promise you that the Provincial Department of Transportation and the Provincial Department of Finance are responsible for supervision, and you will handle the specific matters."
The governor is the governor, and Gao Jianbin's tricks can be hidden from him. Zhou Xiliang was willing to take advantage of this loophole by Gao Jianbin. With such a large amount of funds, there are several transportation and road engineering companies in the province, and they are also state-owned enterprises. If the project is directly constructed by provincial enterprises, the benefits there are obvious. At least the company can advance funds first and then settle the bill.
Seeing the governor doing good, Gao Jianbin said again: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Will the provincial government give us some funds in advance to solve the imminent problem?" Zhou Xiliang glared at his eyes and said: "Are you still finished? What's the problem?"
Gao Jianbin said with a sad expression: "Three leaders, the public security system and education system of Linghe City are not ready to be cooked, especially the difficulties in housing have not been solved. Our teachers and most of the public security personnel are unable to afford the house because of their low income. We can find a way to work with their families, but those houses with water leakage when it rains, low, humid and small areas are not financially capable. It is not easy for teachers and personnel. I blame me, who is the mayor, for not being able to do it. I beg the provincial government to allocate funds to build two affordable housing communities to increase confidence for more than 6,000 personnel and more than 60,000 faculty and staff. As far as I know, Linghe City has not added new houses to these two systems for four or five years."
Zhou Xiliang said flatly: "I asked me to do everything for you. What do you want you, the mayor, to do? No, the municipal government will find a way to do this money. As for the procedures, I can simplify it for you. Comrade Jianbin, the matter should be done in moderation, and the financial management department does not have a printing machine. Where can I find you so much money? According to what you said, it is a half-deductible house. According to the cost of 800 yuan per square meter, the apartment of 100 square meters is 80,000 yuan, and 30,000 units is 2.4 billion yuan. I don't have that much money to give you now. You should use your relationship with the ministries and commissions to think of a solution from Kyoto. As for the financial management department, it is hard to give up the good fortune!"
Gao Jianbin said: "Governor, you have cut one-third of the funds for road traffic construction, so I only require one-third of the number of affordable housing, 10,000 units!" Zhou Xiliang smiled angrily and said: "My face as a governor is really not as thick as you are the mayor!"
Fang Dehui smiled and said, "Comrade Jianbin is a cadre specially arranged by zhongyāng to Linghe City. This is also the organization's concern for Lingnan. We have no such thing as this. If you can help, please help me. If you can squeeze out some funds, you will still be able to do these hundreds of millions of dollars. We cannot make people think that the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government are making money in vain!"
Zhou Xiliang nodded and said, "Since Secretary Fang said that, I will give you the money even if I sell it. I have the conditions. You will find a real estate company to provide you with the preparatory funds in the early stage. Companies without courage are not suitable for this project. You can send the design drawings to the provincial party committee and government for review. In terms of quality, I will send people to random inspections at any time and divide them into one and two phases to check the bills. Can you do it?"
Gao Jianbin said: "Of course there is no problem with this. Since I dare to say it, I am prepared. I have contacted Nanjiang Xueman Investment and Construction Group and recently went to Linghe City to participate in the state-owned enterprise reform. I am preparing to let them participate in the Xinghui Group in Linghe City, holding 49% of the shares. In this way, local enterprises can go into battle lightly."
Fang Dehui and Zhou Xiliang looked at each other and felt very pleased. It is worthy of praise for being able to develop local enterprises with external forces. Unlike some places, they want to treat state-owned enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy as a burden and send them all out. This is obviously killing the chicken to get eggs.
Fang Dehui said: "Comrade Jianbin's approach deserves high recognition and praise from the provincial party committee and government. We are not ending the state-owned enterprises in difficulties, but trying to re-stimulate their vitality. Only in this way can we effectively drive the rise of the local economic index, gradually achieve sustainable growth, and reduce the pressure on the government and society by laid-off personnel. We are worthy of being the youngest department-level cadre with a strong strategic sense of thinking and can see through the essence of the situation. The investment of the provincial party committee and government in the early stage is just a shot of a heart-wrenching agent and cannot change the root cause. Vigorously developing the core competitiveness of local enterprises is the most royal approach."
When he said this, Fang Dehui looked a little excited and said, "I am really happy that Linghe City can have a mayor like you who has a clear mind and long-term vision. Today I also made an exception to drink two drinks. I wish Linghe City will become another Haizhou in the future and the lives of the people will embark on the road of prosperity. Sweetly, take out the bottle of Maotai I have collected for twenty years!"
