As the head of the Natural Resources Department, Liu Haotian was the last one to enter the conference room.
At this moment, all other party members arrived.
But after Liu Haotian came in, he had a vague feeling that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little strange today.
Liu Haotian didn't pay attention. He just glanced at the crowd and smiled slightly: "Comrades, we are now having a meeting. The topic of our meeting today is about the 30 million special funds of our Natural Resources Department blocked by the Provincial Department of Finance. I just personally gave
Director Jiang made a phone call, and Director Jiang promised me that he would try his best to coordinate. I wonder what everyone’s opinions are on this?”
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Li Yaoxian was the first to fire: "Director Liu, I believe that with your IQ, you should not be able to tell that that old man Jiang Chengwu is simply deceiving you!
Why does the Provincial Department of Finance block this special fund from our Department of Natural Resources?
Isn’t it because you, Liu Haotian, have blocked the financial path of some of them?
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. The hatred is irreconcilable!
So this incident must be the handiwork of that old guy Jiang Chengwu. In this case, if you really want to pin your hope of getting back this special fund on Jiang Chengwu, then I, Li Yaoxian, will really look down on you!
I believe you are not a three-year-old child! You should not believe Jiang Chengwu’s lies!"
After Li Yaoxian finished speaking, Zhao Qiankun immediately followed up and said: "I partially agree with Director Li's opinion. I think that no matter what the reason is, we cannot place all our hopes on the old director. The reason is very simple.
After Director Jiang arrived at the Provincial Department of Finance, he will definitely need a period of adaptation. It is still unknown whether the various department heads below will give him face. Therefore, we should take the initiative and send relevant personnel to engage in public relations and find ways to make this money work.
The funds are in place.”
Liu Haotian asked calmly: "Director Zhao, do you think if we engage in public relations, do we need to spend money?"
Liu Haotian got to the point in just one sentence.
Zhao Qiankun said calmly: "If you don't have to spend money, then who will help you with public relations? What does the word public relations mean? I believe Director Liu will not understand, right?"
Liu Haotian smiled: "To be honest, I have been in the officialdom for more than 10 years, but for such a long time, I really didn't know that public relations need to spend money. Director Zhao, what do you think?
How much money do we need to spend on public relations to get this 30 million special fund? 200,000 or 2 million?"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent again. Zhao Qiankun had a dark face but said nothing. Some things can be said in public, but some things can only be done but not said.
Zhao Qiankun thought that saying the word "public relations" was enough to express what he meant, but Liu Haotian had to force himself to express his meaning so directly. This was something he absolutely could not tolerate, so he simply stopped talking.
.
At this time, Zhou Guozhong raised his head and said: "Director Liu, with all due respect, I don't know how you did things before, but in Cat Siang Province, many things require public relations, and some things cannot be solved without public relations.
"
Liu Haotian nodded: "Director Zhou, if I leave this matter to you, how much budget do you need?"
This time Liu Haotian changed the way he spoke. Zhou Guozhong did not beat around the bush, but said in a deep voice: "500,000!"
"Is it guaranteed to be possible with a budget of 500,000?" Liu Haotian asked again.
Zhou Guozhong shook his head with a wry smile: "Director Liu, doing public relations can only guarantee the best possible success, but it cannot guarantee success."
Liu Haotian leaned back on his chair and said calmly: "Since doing public relations cannot guarantee success, then why do we do it? Is it just for psychological comfort? Who does the public relations money go to?"
Liu Haotian answered every question very sharply, and Zhou Guozhong also fell silent.
Li Yaoxian said again in a sharp voice: "Needless to say, the money for public relations must go to the directors of the Department of Finance who are responsible for fund allocation, and even the deputy directors are indispensable. But let's chat, 500,000 yuan for public relations
The cost is indeed not high. In order to obtain special funds, some places even have to spend 10% or even higher on public relations.
As far as I know, this situation also exists within our Provincial Department of Natural Resources. In order to obtain some financial support or some policy support from our Provincial Department of Natural Resources, the Natural Resources Bureau of some prefectures and cities even
If they pass the approval process, they will go to our Provincial Department of Natural Resources to carry out public relations with a large amount of money. Some directors and deputy directors are so fat because of the public relations in various prefectures and cities, they have rich family assets and luxury houses.
This is also reality!
That’s why everyone enjoys doing PR with each other.”
After Li Yaoxian finished speaking, the entire conference room became eerily quiet. No one dared to say a word at this time.
Because what Li Yaoxian said was too realistic and too sharp.
Liu Haotian smiled: "Director Li, although you have been criticizing me before, I can tell you clearly that I, Liu Haotian, am broad-minded enough, and I fully agree with what you just said."
Speaking of this, Liu Haotian suddenly slammed the table and cast a large vote for many people. Liu Haotian gritted his teeth and said: "Comrades, at today's party group meeting, as the party secretary and director of the Provincial Department of Natural Resources, I will first
Let me set a rule for everyone, that is, from now on, in all matters related to our Jixiang Provincial Department of Natural Resources, any form of spending money for public relations is prohibited, especially giving money!
It’s not that I don’t allow everyone to do public relations, because I also know that some things must be publicized, but the form of giving money to public relations is absolutely not allowed. For the convenience of certain work, inviting comrades from other units to have a meal
In principle, I will not interfere with this kind of behavior, but please pay attention to it! Because we have 8 regulations, you can carry out your work, but you must not violate the 8 regulations!"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Zhou Guozhong said with a wry smile: "Director Liu, if that's really the case, I'm afraid it will be really difficult for us to start our work."
Liu Haotian smiled: "If Comrade Zhou Guozhong thinks that any work in the field you are in charge of cannot be carried out normally without public relations, then you can hand over this area in charge and I can assign it to other comrades.
Of course, this principle also applies to other party members.
I just want to tell everyone that with the improvement of our country's legal system, we must put power into the cage of the system. If anyone works with the mentality that there is no way to work without public relations, then I think you
This kind of mentality is extremely unhealthy and irresponsible. I will never allow this kind of behavior!"
Zhao Qiankun shrugged: "Director Liu, if this is the case, then I think it is impossible for our 30 million funds to be allocated within two days."
Liu Haotian smiled disdainfully: "Comrade Zhao Qiankun, how about we make a bet? I can guarantee that this special fund will be in place before noon tomorrow, and there will be no public relations of any kind."
Zhao Qiankun couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Liu Haotian would make a bet with him in public. Zhao Qiankun hesitated and shook his head gently: "Director Liu, I'm sorry, betting is against the rules, so I won't bet with you.
bet.
However, I can conclude that it will be difficult to allocate these 30 million funds in a short period of time."
Liu Haotian smiled and said: "Comrade Zhao Qiankun, how about we make an agreement. If I can ensure that the funds will be received on time before noon tomorrow without public relations, you can take out a department you are in charge of and give it to others.
How about taking charge?
Of course, if I fail to do it, I will apologize to you in front of everyone at tomorrow's party group meeting. And I will promise you not to adjust any of your work within six months, what do you think?"
A black line suddenly appeared on Zhao Qiankun's forehead. He finally saw it. Liu Haotian in front of him seemed confident. He had made up his mind. Although he changed the word of the bet and said it was an agreement, in fact,
You still have to make a bet with yourself.
This made Zhao Qiankun a little confused.
Because Zhao Qiankun firmly believes in his heart that it is absolutely impossible for Liu Haotian to obtain the special funds allocated by the Provincial Department of Finance before noon tomorrow, but Liu Haotian appears so confident. Where is the source of his confidence?
Zhao Qiankun frowned and his brain was spinning rapidly. At the same time, his eyes were secretly communicating with Zhou Guozhong and Yin Dekai.
Zhou Guozhong nodded vigorously. In his opinion, Liu Haotian's proposal was worth a gamble.
Because for them, it is easy for them to prevent the Provincial Department of Finance from allocating this amount of money, because they are all direct descendants of Jiang Chengwu, and it is impossible for Jiang Chengwu not to give them this face no matter from which angle, and this matter
The whole thing was initiated by Jiang Chengwu, and the person who really promoted this action was Chen Guocheng, and they all knew the inside story.
Therefore, they are full of confidence.
After Zhao Qiankun exchanged glances with them, he became more and more confident. However, in order to prevent Liu Haotian from regretting it, Zhao Qiankun still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Director Liu, I don't think this is good.
, after all, if I win by chance, it will make you lose face if you apologize to me in front of so many people."
Liu Haotian chuckled: "Comrade Zhao Qiankun, I, Liu Haotian, am a man of my word. If this fund is really not allocated before noon tomorrow, then I will not only apologize to you in front of everyone, I will
I also promise that you and all the party members here will not adjust our division of labor within half a year.
But, if by luck I win..."
Liu Haotian didn't say the next words, but Zhao Qiankun understood. Liu Haotian's meaning was very obvious. If he really won, he would definitely adjust the division of labor among the deputy directors within half a year.
Zhao Qiankun deliberately pretended to be hesitant, then slammed the table and said, "Okay, that's it! I really want to see, Director Liu, how you can turn things around!"
