Chapter 1107 Bad thing? Not necessarily a bad thing!
What happened at night was exactly as Ye Kai predicted.
At 8:40, Samaranch announced the results of the vote and Sydney won.
Beijing lost the right to host the 2000 Olympic Games by only two votes. After the results came out, many people shed sad tears in front of the TV.
According to a phone call from Ye Jianhuan, there was a little commotion in the capital. Many people threw their TV sets down from upstairs. There were more than ten times more drunks outside than usual, and the police kept stopping.
Dealing with these drunken troublemakers on the street is very busy.
No one thinks Beijing will fail in its bid for the Olympics this time.
Everything is being calculated, so during the voting time, radio and television broadcast high-profile reports, fully expecting to stir up another upsurge of nationalism and patriotism.
However, at a time when people across the country were eagerly anticipating it, the Olympic bid failed.
Initially, the media thought that the problem was North Korea, which voted the key vote for Sydney. Others believed that it was Taiwan that did not vote for the capital. The reason was that the Taiwan authorities did not bid for Beijing to host the 2000 Olympics.
are reserved or even opposed.
Last year, the mainland and South Korea officially established diplomatic relations. This was an important step in the mainland's journey of opening up to the outside world and put it on track with the world.
To put it simply, although South Korea is on the side of the United States, it is not a country with a bad record, and it is not a bad idea to establish diplomatic relations with it. However, establishing diplomatic relations with South Korea is to North Korea what establishing diplomatic relations with Taiwan is to the mainland.
North Korea took very drastic measures at that time to oppose the establishment of diplomatic relations between the mainland and South Korea, but the mainland had long since become determined, and all North Korea's efforts were of no avail. At that time, some people thought that North Korea had no choice but to resign itself to its fate. However, people still underestimated North Korea's energy, and it began to compete with North Korea.
The relationship between Taiwan and Taiwan has deteriorated, and a national travel agency has set up an office in Taiwan. The once unbreakable friendship between China and North Korea has dropped to a freezing point.
Frankly speaking, although North Korea's actions are unfriendly, they are also normal reactions.
After all, in this matter, since you dare to be in the first grade of junior high school, others dare to be in the fifteenth grade. Why should they have to listen to you?
The retribution came quickly and timely. Tonight, North Korea indeed voted a precious vote for China's competitor Sydney. As a result, in the penultimate round of voting, China and Australia tied. If North Korea
The votes were cast for Beijing, which would win by two votes more than Sydney.
Of course, this is all a guessing game.
None of the parties involved in the voting made a public statement. In fact, it is impossible to know who the votes were cast for, because the International Olympic Committee has a strict confidentiality system and it is impossible for outsiders to know its contents.
The voting process is like this. All IOC members enter the venue in order, and all non-members must leave the venue.
Security personnel carried sophisticated electronic instruments and carefully searched every corner of the venue. The purpose was to prevent any eavesdropping. The electronic devices would spread the news outside the venue to ensure that the election process would not be leaked.
In fact, during the last round of voting, many people had a certain premonition in their minds, thinking that the mainland was very likely to miss the mark this time, because in the penultimate round of voting, Manchester lost and missed the runoff. Manchester supporters
They will definitely move towards Australia, which is also a member of the Commonwealth.
Sure enough, the final vote count was 45 to 43, with Beijing losing by only a slight margin of two votes to Sydney.
This incident is still a big blow to people. At least many people can see that the voting is full of hostile attitudes towards the mainland. After all, Sydney is a place suitable for raising sheep.
The next morning, when the Dongshan Municipal Party Committee held a meeting of the Standing Committee, everyone's faces were still very ugly. They were obviously stimulated by what happened last night.
"Actually, everyone doesn't need to be so angry. If a country wants to rise, it will naturally be suppressed by external forces. No one wants to see a powerful country emerge. The more suppression we receive, it proves that the other party has no intention in their hearts.
I feel confident." Ye Kai had a good night's sleep and talked eloquently, "Doing our job well and contributing to the construction of the city is what we should do."
Mu Wanrong also said, "Mayor Ye said very well, comrades should work with peace of mind."
"The tactics used by these foreigners are not ambiguous at all." Propaganda Minister He Muyang said, "I never noticed it before. They are not shy about what they do. It is obvious that they are targeting us."
"It goes without saying that Han and traitors are at odds with each other in the first place. Now that you are strong, do you expect others to be happy for you?" Organization Minister Lin Jiwen said.
Deputy Secretary Li Wenhai didn't say much, but the expression on his face showed that he was very unhappy.
After all, this kind of thing is related to the face of every Chinese, and everyone is extremely unhappy in their hearts.
Executive Vice Mayor Jiang Xiaomei now admired Ye Kai's foresight. She also adjusted her mentality, "Mayor Ye is right. In fact, in a sense, although we lost the election this time,
It is a bad thing, but if dealt with properly, bad things can also be turned into good things. At least everyone can see clearly the true face of foreign forces, as well as some of our current gaps and shortcomings, and have the motivation to move forward and eliminate them.
Without arrogance, future development will be better and faster."
"Vice Mayor Jiang said it well..." Someone immediately agreed.
Everyone chatted for a while and then got down to business.
"In this case, let's discuss the issue of the candidate for the United Front Minister." Mu Wanrong said.
Although the province had previously considered airdropping a United Front Minister, and there was even a candidate, Ma Feiming recommended by Governor Long Zheng, but later Deputy Secretary Han intervened forcefully, so the proposed appointment was not implemented. Now the above
The struggle was fierce, and coupled with Ye Kai's firm opposition, the situation was stagnant for a while.
Organization Minister Lin Jiwen coughed, "Since Comrade Zhang Shaojie resigned, the seat of the Municipal Party Committee's United Front Work Director has been vacant. If this continues for a long time, it will definitely affect the work. So what Secretary Mu meant is that the Municipal Party Committee recommended to the Provincial Party Committee to recommend
Comrade Cui Qingwen, Vice Minister of the United Front Work Department, was promoted to the position of Minister."
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Deputy Secretary Li Wenhai said, "The head of the United Front Work Department has always been appointed by the provincial party committee. If the city suddenly does this, isn't it a bit overstepping?"
Duan Fei, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, has not expressed his opinion. He has been leaning closer to Ye Kai recently, so naturally he wants to see how Ye Kai reacts before making a decision.
"My opinion is that local cadres should be given more room for development." Ye Kai's attitude is very clear, "For a long time, Dongshan City has had a good cadre team, and many diligent and outstanding cadres have emerged. Cui Qingwen
Comrade is one of the representatives. For such cadres, the municipal party committee should give them more development opportunities."
Then Ye Kai said, "Dongshan City already has enough airborne cadres. Secretary Mu, I, and Vice Mayor Jiang are all airborne cadres. If one more one comes here, many comrades will scold them."
After everyone heard this, they all laughed.
But thinking about it, it is true that as Ye Kai said, there are too many airborne cadres in Dongshan City.
Although it was not like this before, with the development in recent years, local forces have indeed been greatly suppressed, or it may be said that this is intentional from above. However, one thing cannot but be acknowledged, that is, if there are too many airborne cadres, sometimes
If you are not grounded, it is indeed easy to cause some new troubles.
This has led to the fact that at the municipal party committee and municipal government levels, administrative and bureau leaders have become de facto local emperors, greatly increasing the possibility of corruption.
Ye Kai sees this problem very clearly. After all, as airborne cadres, they cannot stay in Dongshan City for too long, so they pay more attention to political achievements. Once they achieve political achievements, they will leave at any time, so as to continue to monopolize Dongshan City.
It is these bureau leaders who have the actual power in the officialdom.
Over time, these people will form a huge circle of interests, which is extremely detrimental to urban development.
Therefore, the promotion channels for local cadres should also be maintained. At least they will restrain their subordinates under the pressure of the promotion channels and prevent them from causing too much trouble.
"But what should we do with the opinions of the provincial party committee?" Someone also raised this question.
As an important member of the municipal party committee, it is natural for him to obey the decisions of the provincial party committee when it comes to personnel arrangements.
"The provincial party committee has the consideration of the provincial party committee, but it will also pay attention to the actual situation of the municipal party committee. If we have problems, we must report them to the superiors and win the support of the provincial party committee. This is also what we should do." Ye Kaisu said.
, "If everything is arranged by the provincial party committee, then is it necessary for our municipal party committee to exist?"
"I think Mayor Ye's opinion makes sense." Executive Vice Mayor Jiang Xiaomei rarely supported Ye Kai, "We should give more consideration to the interests of local cadres in Dongshan City."
As an airborne faction, Jiang Xiaomei naturally does not want the politics of the three giants to turn into a politics of multiple giants, so the United Front Minister with the above background parachuting down will not be of any substantial benefit to her. If she can resist, that would be the best
Resist it.
"Then let's vote." Mu Wanrong looked at it and asked for a vote.
Because the position of United Front Minister was vacant, there were a total of twelve members of the Standing Committee present. After everyone voted by show of hands, it was obvious that most people were still against the airborne faction.
Deputy Secretary Li Wenhai expressed opposition, and Military Division Commander Guo Quanyi abstained from voting as usual. As a result, the number of votes in favor reached ten, and the proposal was obviously passed without any doubt.
"Oh, we are so weak..." Li Wenhai felt that his situation was getting more and more difficult.
This was certainly a bad thing for Li Wenhai, but on second thought, if the provincial party committee had opinions about the municipal party committee because of this matter, then this matter might not be a bad thing for him.
