Chapter 1365 Small Signboards, Big Business (Part 2)
At this moment, Liu Haotian was once again disappointed with the urban management system. When the Nansong City Urban Management System was hit by beatings, he had already made a major adjustment to the urban management system, but he never expected that the adjustment would not be completed for too long.
It has been a long time since such a serious problem occurred again.
This made Liu Haotian think again, was his last substitution right or wrong?
Half an hour later, the director of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau and the deputy directors of other branches all arrived.
Liu Haotian asked straight to the point: "I would like to ask the leaders of the Urban Management Bureau, who made the decision on the black background and white characters on Guoyuan Road? Was it the decision made by the Municipal Urban Management Bureau or the District Urban Management Bureau?
?”
Liu Haotian's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.
The director of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau quickly said: "Mayor Liu, our Municipal Urban Management Bureau has never issued such an instruction."
Everyone's eyes were turned to Zhang Dahai, director of the Yuhua District Urban Management Bureau, where Orchard Road is located.
Zhang Dahai is only about 1.68 meters tall, with a big belly. He is wearing a suit with a small handbag in his pocket, and his hair is combed and shiny.
Zhang Dahai's face trembled and he smiled awkwardly: "Liu...Mayor Liu, this matter was brought up by our district urban management bureau. Our intention is to create a colorful street with one style."
world."
Liu Haotian's face suddenly darkened: "A colorful world? I think it's a lifeless world, right?
Didn't you notice that there are so many shops closed down on this street?
Haven't you noticed that there are obviously fewer pedestrians on this street than other streets?
Haven't you noticed that the merchants on both sides of the street are boiling with dissatisfaction?
Haven't you noticed..."
Just after saying this, Liu Haotian suddenly changed his tone: "By the way, I would like to ask, how many years have you been the director?"
"Four years." Zhang Dahai said quickly.
"Have you been working for four years? So, the door sign on this street has been changed four times in three years, and it was all done during your tenure as the director of the Urban Management Bureau?" Liu Haotian's tone became more and more serious.
It's getting stricter.
Zhang Dahai already felt that his legs were a little weak.
He said with a trembling voice: "Liu...Mayor Liu, this...this..."
Zhang Dahai hesitated for a long time, but couldn't explain why.
Liu Haotian's face suddenly became extremely stern, and he said in a cold voice: "Since you can't explain now, I think you should talk to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection."
After saying that, Liu Haotian no longer looked at Zhang Dahai, but looked at the other heads of the urban management bureaus with cold eyes: "Comrades, I don't know how many of the directors of the district bureaus you are here are related to Zhang Dahai.
The sea is the same, but what I want to tell you is that as leaders of the urban management system, what you have to do is not to use the power in your hands to seek personal gain for yourself, but to serve the city and the people sincerely! Here you go
Rights are not for you to show off your power, nor are they for you to trade with full power, but for you to serve the people!"
Speaking of this, Liu Haotian said directly and coldly: "Zhang Dahai, I don't care what achievements you have made, but just because of your operation of changing the door sign four times in three years, you, the director of the Urban Management Bureau,
It is definitely unqualified and he will be removed from his post immediately. The deputy director in charge will be removed from his post immediately! Because your behavior is an abuse of power and a smear on the image of our city government.
In addition, the deputy director in charge of this work of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau gave him a serious warning within the party!"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Wang Jucai, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection who had just arrived at the scene, came to Liu Haotian with a piece of material in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Mayor Liu, our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has investigated clearly. In the past three years or so,
, our Nansong City Urban Management System has made many efforts to deal with merchants in the city, and has changed its signboards four times in three years. This is not just a problem for the Yuhua District Branch itself, but a problem for the entire Nansong City!
Of course, the Yuhua District's replacement of the signboards with white characters on a black background is indeed the result of their own efforts, which has caused great public dissatisfaction.
Many shops in other areas have also complained about the frequent replacement of signboards. The root of all problems lies in Chen Decheng, the deputy director of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau in charge of this work. According to our investigation, Chen Decheng has a close relationship with the bosses of several engineering companies.
, more than three years ago, they planned the frequent replacement of signboards, and through so-called bidding, contracted each signboard replacement to the engineering party at a different price, and then the engineering party subcontracted the entire project to
Dozens or even hundreds of small construction teams.
The engineering party is only responsible for collecting money and providing relevant materials.
Just take this signboard change as an example. The bidding amount for this signboard change is 5 million. Nansong Qiangren Engineering Company won the bid, and the boss of Qiangren Engineering Company, Ma Zhiqiang, is usually close to Chen Decheng, deputy director of the Urban Management Bureau. They won the project
After that, it was subcontracted to different companies at a price of 20 million. In the end, the Urban Management Bureau received a revenue of 5 million, while the engineering party received a profit of 15 million, of which they took 8 million themselves.
They gave 5 million to Chen Decheng, the director of the Urban Management Bureau, and blamed them for giving the remaining 2 million to the leaders of different urban management systems. It can be said that the profits are shared equally!
The only people who suffer are the common people!"
When Liu Haotian heard this, his eyes turned cold when he looked at Chen Decheng, the deputy director of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau. He did not expect that this deputy director, who seemed to be clean and gentle, would be so brutal and arrogant when it came to making money.
Just when Liu Haotian thought that Wang Jucai's report ended here, Wang Jucai continued: "Mayor Liu, you would never have thought that Chen Decheng had a lot of money in his bank account during the five years he served as deputy director of the Urban Management Bureau.
An increase of 12 million!
And do you know what kind of car his son drives?"
"What car?"
"It's a Rolls-Royce! The one worth 10 million!"
Liu Haotian's face suddenly darkened: "How can a deputy director of a small urban management bureau make so much money?"
Wang Jucai sighed softly: "Mayor Liu, the problem is not just that. According to the investigation of our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, we found nearly 20 million worth of assets of unknown origin in Chen Decheng's home, including real estate, antiques, gold, calligraphy and paintings.
etc."
Liu Haotian said with a gloomy face: "The way I see it, we can directly convene a city-wide urban management system meeting to conduct an in-depth discussion on this matter, ask Comrade Wang Chenghu to review it at the meeting, and at the same time, conduct a city-wide circular to criticize the actions of the city's urban management bureau?"
In the afternoon of that day, the city's urban management system criticism and self-criticism conference was held in the city's urban management bureau. All the people in the urban management system gathered in the large conference room of the city's urban management bureau. Liu Haotian sat on the chair and said in a stern voice: "Comrades, shop signs
Behind the frequent changes, it reflects the absurdity of the aesthetics of power. It reflects the disrespect of power for merchants and public opinion, and it is also a disguised means of rent-seeking by power. Although the door sign can be redesigned after this incident.
Planning, but doing so is a waste of people and money! It results in frivolity and waste!
Here I would like to make a request to the urban management system. First, the urban management system for door signs in the city can formulate a relatively reasonable standard. For example, you can set the size range of the signboards, and the formulation of this standard must be reported to the deputy mayor in charge.
Approval must also be publicized in advance and discussed by the whole people. The leaders of your urban management department cannot just make up their own standards at will. This is absolutely unacceptable!
And from now on, as long as the signs of merchants are within the scope of the standard, the urban management system must not use the so-called unified standards to require all merchants. That is not beauty, let alone harmony, and it is an abuse of power! Behind this
There are bound to be hidden dangers of power rent-seeking and power realization!
As long as I am still the mayor of Nansong City, as long as all merchant signs in Nansong City comply with relevant regulations, you cannot interfere with other people's colors and creativity. This is like academics. One flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together will fill the garden.
!
We in Nansong City do not need the mediocrity that looks exactly the same. What we need is economic prosperity and what we need is to fully stimulate the people's enthusiasm for entrepreneurship.
In the future, actions like Chen Decheng's who frequently use their power to suck blood from merchants and ordinary people will never be allowed to occur.
Especially for our entire Nansong City, we do not allow all store signs in the entire Nansong City to be in a unified format, because thousands of stores ignore the fact that the sign itself can convey rich information, obliterate the personalized elements of the store, and make it difficult to inspire
Customers' interests and impressions, and this is a misunderstanding of beautifying the city. Whoever does this fully demonstrates the low level of leadership of the local city's urban management system.
And our Nansong City will not reuse people with low leadership levels!
Comrades, store signs actually represent the brand, the development and inheritance of the store. The reason why a century-old store can endure for a long time is because its signboard has formed a unique identification system that can firmly brand it.
In the minds of customers, do you people in the urban management system think that impressive brands can be born in the same stores?
Please remember that culture and beauty, brand and heritage do not require one size fits all, but your own unique style and charm!
As for the signboard management of your urban management system, you only need to consider that the existence of the signboards will not affect the appearance of the city and can eliminate potential safety hazards. Other things are not within the scope of your rights..."
Afterwards, Liu Haotian spoke non-stop for more than half an hour, fully conveying his ideas to everyone present.
This meeting was very successful. Through this meeting, in the next 10 years, no one in the Nansong City Urban Management System will dare to interfere with the issue of signboards, because Liu Haotian has set a strict standard for them.
, and this set of standards has also taken root in the hearts of ordinary people!
The reason is very simple, because Liu Haotian directly set a standard for the urban management system in signboard management that is known to both the people and the urban management department. The entire standard is very transparent. No matter who is the leader of the urban management system, if he wants to overthrow this system
, we must face the outpouring of criticism from the people, so fairness, openness and transparency are the valuable assets Liu Haotian left to the people of Nansong City!
This is also the most effective means to prevent carte blanche and power rent-seeking.
After this thunderous operation, Nansong City’s urban management system once again carried out a powerful top-down anti-corruption campaign! Most of the leaders of the urban management system who acted wantonly or even acted recklessly in their posts were brought to justice by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
gone!
One-third of the main leaders in the entire urban management system have been detained!
At this time, Liu Haotian thought to himself about the most spicy action he had taken since taking office.
Through this operation, everyone in Nansong City realized that in the field of people's livelihood, Mayor Liu Haotian is very strict, and his crackdown methods are also very sharp. If anyone wants to take action in the field of people's livelihood, he will be punished.
Faced with Liu Haotian's thunderous blow.
However, the impact of this operation was still limited, and what Liu Haotian didn't expect was that just on the second day after he inspected the urban management system, something happened again in Nansong City.
This time was exposed by reporters. The reason was that an old couple in their 60s who ran a small supermarket asked reporters for help, saying that people from the Market Supervision Administration came to their place for inspection a few days ago and took away two kilograms.
Celery, and then fined them 70,000 yuan!
They told reporters that they only bought 10 kilograms of celery in total. The purchase price of each kilogram of celery was 1.6 yuan and the selling price was 2.5 yuan.
They expressed strong indignation and doubts about the Nansong City Market Supervision and Administration Bureau's behavior of fined them 70,000 yuan because the quality of two kilograms of celery submitted for inspection was unqualified.
After investigation, the reporter found that the Nansong City Yuhua District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau had fined more than 50,000 yuan more than 30 times in the past year, and each time the fines were small traders, involved in the case
The maximum amount is only three to five hundred yuan, and many of them are like this old couple, and the amount involved is only a few dozen yuan at most.
After reading this report, Liu Haotian completely dealt with his anger!
After reading the news, Liu Haotian said directly to Yang Wanli: "Old Yang, you immediately notify the leadership team members of all the municipal and district bureaus of the Nansong City Market Supervision and Management System and ask them all to come to the door of the old couple's store to unite.
I want to discuss with them carefully how they should enforce the law when faced with people's livelihood issues!"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Yang Wanli didn't hesitate at all and immediately called to start the notification.
Two hours later, all members of the leadership team of the Nansong City Market Supervision and Administration Bureau gathered in front of the old couple's store.
The couple turned pale with fright when they saw this battle. When Liu Haotian came over, the old couple was so frightened that they knelt down on the ground: "We were wrong. We will pay your fine for selling iron. You still have to pay the fine?"
What do you think? You must not close our store! This is our only source of income!"
While speaking, the white-haired old lady burst into tears.
When Liu Haotian saw this scene, he felt like his heart was cut by a knife.
What simple people!
They actually said that even if you sell iron, you have to pay a fine!
Liu Haotian stepped forward, stretched out his hands to help up the white-haired old lady and the hunched old man next to her.
What a pitiful old couple!
After Liu Haotian asked them to stand still, he bowed directly to them: "Two uncles and aunties, I am Liu Haotian, the mayor of Nansong City, and I would like to express my sincere apology to you on behalf of the Nansong City Party Committee and City Government.
Regarding the issue related to the unqualified quality of your two kilograms of celery, our Nansong City Market Supervision and Administration Bureau has been extremely rough and unreasonable in its work style. I came here today just to cooperate with our Nansong City Market Supervision and Management System.
Let’s discuss what they should do as market supervision and management agencies!
Please rest assured that I will ask them to immediately revoke your punishment and apologize at the same time!"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, the old lady with tears in her eyes and the old man with despair in his eyes looked at the tall mayor in front of them in shock. They were a little at a loss.
Liu Haotian continued to say gently: "You two, you can sit in the room for a while. Today we will lend you the open space outside the door to hold an on-site office meeting. Please rest assured that our Nansong Municipal Committee and Master are absolutely dedicated to our work."
Those who serve the people, as for those who cannot serve the people wholeheartedly, and those who want to suck blood from the people, whether they are the director of the Market Supervision Administration or the director of the Urban Management Bureau, whether they are the deputy mayor or the
Mayor, we in Nansong City will never condone it! We in Nansong Province will never condone it!"
Having said this, Liu Haotian turned his head and glanced coldly at the faces of all the market supervision and management system leadership team members on the scene one by one. He said in a cold voice: "Trouble the people from the Yuhua District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau to put you
Let me take a look at the punishment decision letter."
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, the director of the Yuhua District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau sent the penalty decision letter that had been prepared long ago to Liu Haotian's hands with trembling hands.
Liu Haotian took the punishment decision and read aloud: "Because the celery involved in the case has been sold and cannot be retrieved without the buyer's information, the Li couple cannot provide the purchaser's license certificate and receipt, cannot truthfully state the source of the purchase, and have not fulfilled their obligation to inspect the purchase. They are suspected of
The act of selling food that exceeds the food safety standard limit violates the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law, and the district will be fined 70,000 yuan."
After Liu Haotian finished reading, he took a deep breath: "Mr. Director, I would like to ask, how many kilograms of celery can this old couple sell to earn 70,000 yuan?
do you know?
This is 70,000 yuan. They can make a profit of up to one yuan from selling a pound of celery. This does not include their transportation costs and damage costs. If these are included, they can make a profit of up to 50 cents per pound of celery.
Very good. If they want to earn the 70,000 yuan fine, they have to sell at least 140,000 kilograms of celery.
Do you know how long it takes for ordinary small stores to sell these 140,000 kilograms of celery?
You are going to punish people to death!
How will you let them survive in the future?
Is this how your Market Regulation Authority does things?
Are you rectifying the market order? I think you are generating income for yourself, right?"
Liu Haotian spoke in a very stern tone. The director was scolded by Liu Haotian like a grandson. He kept his head down and did not dare to say a word.
Because the director knows very well that now their Yuhua District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau has come to the forefront due to media exposure. At this time, if he wants to keep his position as director, he can only keep a low profile, let alone face a situation where he has always been doing things.
What about the more powerful Liu Haotian?
Seeing the unfaithful director of the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, although his attitude was very humble and respectful, Liu Haotian was not confused by his performance, but said coldly: "This director, that person,
I would like to ask you again. According to the "Administrative Penalty Law of the People's Republic of China", the establishment and implementation of administrative penalties must be based on facts and be commensurate with the facts, nature, circumstances and degree of social harm of the illegal act.
So let me ask you, if the case value is tens of dollars, and he is fined tens of thousands of dollars, is the fine excessive?"
The director said bravely: "Not quite."
Liu Haotian nodded: "Of course not. You fined someone 70,000 yuan for a case worth dozens of yuan. You are simply acting randomly. As the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, although you have great power, you also have great responsibilities."
Seriously, maintain a good business environment and safeguard the vital interests of the people. This is what you should do, but you cannot have no scruples and do whatever you want after you have the power in your hands!
Law enforcement cannot only focus on intensity. While maintaining market order, market supervision departments must also create a good environment for the survival of small and micro entities.
If you do this casual fingering like that of the Yuhua District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, you will simply kill this couple!
Do you know what the annual disposable income of ordinary people in our country is? It’s more than 35,000 yuan! You directly fined people 70,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the money they earned without eating or drinking for two years. You have to pay a fine.
?
Are you maintaining a good business environment in the market or destroying it?
Are you safeguarding the interests of the people, or are you harming the interests of the people?"
The fine of 70,000 yuan is more than 3,000 times the total purchase price. This kind of punishment is unprecedented if you look at the five thousand years of Chinese history.
How can you not make ordinary people feel despair with your approach? How can you not make them feel that the world is extremely dark? How can you not make ordinary people feel that they are like leeks and fish, being slaughtered by others?"
