Peng Yuanzheng ignored these rumors and continued to busy himself with the things at hand. After this period of emergency operation, the two projects of the Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Trading Center and the Agricultural Condiment Distribution Center finally entered the substantive construction stage. On April 21st, Feiteng
The industrial company and Xin'an Urban Construction Development Company acted as developers of the two projects respectively and entered the construction site.
In the morning, Guo Weiquan hurriedly walked into Peng Yuanzheng's office and laughed loudly: "Mr. Peng, construction has started at 10:18 in the morning. But I just received a notice from the city government office that the city asked us to hold a commencement ceremony for a project.
, as the opening event of the city's 'Project Promotion Year', it is said that Mayor Meng will attend the event in person."
"It's better to do it the day after tomorrow—tomorrow is the city's annual mobilization meeting for project construction promotion. The project will be started the day after tomorrow, which will coincide with the spirit of the city's meeting."
Peng Yuanzheng frowned.
He didn't want to have any extraneous groundbreaking ceremony. These two projects have been delayed for so long, and so many things happened in the middle. It's better to seize the time to advance the construction. But the city's requirements must be implemented--
He then thought again, since these two projects are Mayor Zhou's grassroots contact points, it is reasonable for the city government to "handle" them.
Thinking of this, Peng Yuanzheng smiled softly and said: "Then let's hold a ceremony according to the city's requirements, but make it simpler, don't be too extravagant and wasteful, keep the procedure as simple as possible, and the time should not be spent on the process, control it within ten minutes.
That’s fine. You can take care of this matter. The day after tomorrow I’m going to Zelin City to attend an on-site meeting on the project to benefit farmers and prosper farmers organized by the provincial government, so I won’t be attending.”
Guo Weiquan was surprised: "As the main leader of the county government, you promoted and led these two projects, how could you not participate?"
Peng Yuanzheng smiled bitterly: "Lao Guo, it's just a ceremony. Who will attend and who won't. Do we need to be so serious? I'm not in the county, so just a few of you leaders can attend. You preside over the ceremony and let Comrade Mingran deliver a speech on behalf of the county government.
Secretary Ouyang will receive the city leaders on behalf of the county... That's it...\\..\\"
Guo Weiquan saw that Peng Yuanzheng was resolute, so he had no choice but to keep silent. In fact, what he wanted to say was an on-site meeting on rural construction. It would be enough to let the deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture attend, so there was no need to attend in person.
Peng Yuanzheng is going to Zelin City to hold this on-site meeting, which is of course related to Qin Feng. Qin Feng has already asked for leave to go back to her parents' home in Zelin City for a vacation. Peng Yuanzheng promised her to go to Zelin City to accompany her for two days, so this time
He temporarily decided to attend the on-site meeting organized by the province.
On the morning of April 23, the neighboring county held a grand launching ceremony for the logistics industrial park project. Meng Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, led officials from the Municipal Construction Committee, Municipal Economic and Trade Commission and other relevant functional departments to attend the ceremony. In the county, the person who presided over the ceremony was
Deputy county magistrate Guo Weiquan in charge, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, and deputy county magistrate Li Mingran introduced the project preparation and planning on behalf of the county government. Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee Ouyang Yong delivered a speech on behalf of the county committee and county government.
The ceremony was not long, less than half an hour, and ended quickly. After the ceremony, Meng Qiang took officials from the municipal department to inspect the project construction in the neighboring county, and stayed in the county for lunch at noon.
, returned to the city in the afternoon.
This in itself is not a problem. However, Peng Yuanzheng unexpectedly did not appear at the ceremony, which immediately aroused suspicion among many people in the county. In particular, Li Mingran introduced the project situation on behalf of the county government, which directly aggravated the spread of rumors.
catalyst--
Peng Yuanzheng is about to fall. Neighboring counties are about to change - this version of the rumor escalated almost in the shortest possible time - news spread like wildfire that Peng Yuanzheng will be dismissed from office or even be taken down due to economic issues.
This kind of rumor first spread among ordinary cadres, and later expanded to the level of middle-level cadres in the county. Many department-level cadres called everywhere to inquire. For a while, the county was in chaos, and some ghosts and snake spirits began to act around again.
.
Ma Qianjun put down the phone with some irritation and prepared to go out for some air. The whole afternoon, the phone calls in his office did not stop. Officials from various departments, units and even towns at the county level called him to inquire about the "truth".
He was so annoyed that he couldn't even laugh or cry.
Of course, Ma Qianjun would not believe such rumors. But his personal "explanation" was of no help at all, and instead only contributed to the spread of rumors.
Ma Qianjun thought for a moment and went to Guo Weiquan's office. When he knocked on the door and went in, he saw that Li Mingran and Yan Hua were both there. Just as Ma Qianjun was about to exit, Guo Weiquan waved his hand and said, "Old Ma, you don't have to leave, I'm just looking for you."
After saying that, Guo Weiquan turned to Li Mingran and Yan Hua and said solemnly: "Old Li, Old Yan, I'm telling you, the atmosphere in the county is very bad! There are frequent gossips, and there are always people spreading rumors and causing trouble behind your back!
Look, County Magistrate Peng just went to Zelin City for a meeting, and the news was all over the place! Although there are rumors in the city, I have worked in the city for more than ten years, and I have never encountered anything like this.
The situation! It’s so outrageous!”
Yan Hua had a calm mind, because as an old person in the county, she was used to this. She smiled and said: "The poorer and backward the area, the easier it is to follow the wind and rain. This is inevitable. Neighboring counties
It has been like this for a long time. One year, I went to the province to see a doctor and took a few days off. The result was great - some people said that I was double-disciplined by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Do you think it is ridiculous? So, don't ignore this kind of thing and discuss it.
It’ll be self-defeating in two days!”
Li Mingran frowned and said: "I think it's just that people are too busy to do things and cause trouble over nothing! There are too many idle people in the institution. There are six or seven people in many departments who sit in the office every day, drink tea and read newspapers, and don't do anything! You talk about such a person, he
If he doesn't spread rumors behind his back, what else can he do? Therefore, it is not enough for us to simply rectify our work style, and it is impossible to cure the root cause. The only way to cure the root cause is, as County Magistrate Peng said, to streamline the military and administration and improve efficiency!"
Yan Hua glanced at Li Mingran and secretly smiled bitterly: It's not as simple as you said! The overlapping of agencies and overstaffing in party and government agencies is not something that happens today. It is a problem that has been accumulated for a long time. However, successive county committee and county government officials
The fu team is all worried about this problem, but they have not really touched the essence of the problem. The key is - from the perspective of the overall environment, there is no exit mechanism in the administrative system. They can be promoted but not demoted. If people are laid off, who should be laid off? Who should be let go?
As for institutional integration, merging institutions means merging cadres. How to arrange so many cadres?
No matter whose interests are touched, it will cause shock in the county. Few leaders dare to take such cruel measures, even if it is a thunderous method, Peng Yuanzheng, who has a strong sense of reform, has considered it again and again, but still has to take it slowly.
Guo Weiquan sighed softly, "Old Li, it is easier said than done to streamline the military and streamline administration. For the time being, it is difficult to make a substantial breakthrough. I think we should start with rectification of work style, continue to promote the project of cadres going to the countryside, and let the government agencies
Those who are idle go to the towns and villages to exercise for a year or two."
The "switching experience and cadres going to the countryside" project was proposed by Peng Yuanzheng after he took charge of the county government work, and was put in charge by Li Mingran. However, due to the great pressure, the cadres became resistant, so it was implemented in two batches and was temporarily suspended.
Shelved it. Peng Yuanzheng didn't take care of it because he was busy with project construction.
Li Mingran nodded decisively: "I think that's the case. I will convene a meeting with the heads of various departments tomorrow to organize and deploy the third batch as soon as possible! This will save some people the discomfort of being idle!"
The leaders of the three counties were discussing the work style of the agency. Ma Qianjun stood aside in embarrassment, unable to interrupt. He could only lower his head and mutter to himself what Guo Weiquan was doing by keeping him here.
While they were talking, Wei Mingxuan, director of the County Construction Committee, also arrived.
Seeing Wei Mingxuan coming over, Li Mingran and Yan Hua stood up and smiled, "Okay, Lao Guo, you are busy with your work, and we will go our separate ways - By the way, County Magistrate Peng didn't say when he would be back?"
"The meeting is today and tomorrow. Maybe County Magistrate Peng will come back the day after tomorrow? Not necessarily. Magistrate Peng told me when he left that he might stay in Zelin City for a few days to inspect a project."
Guo Weiquan smiled and sent the two of them out.
Wei Mingxuan and Ma Qianjun looked at each other, wondering what Guo Weiquan wanted to do with them at this "sensitive moment".
Guo Weiquan turned around, the smile on his face slowly faded away. He sat behind the desk solemnly, nodded to the two of them and said, "Sit down too, sit down and talk."
Seeing that Guo Weiquan was so serious, Ma Qianjun and Wei Mingxuan felt even more unsure. They sat on the sofa uneasily and held their breath.
Guo Weiquan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Before County Magistrate Peng left, he arranged a job for me. I have thought about it and decided to talk to you two first."
"County Magistrate Peng asked me to take the lead in establishing a zhengfu asset operation company. The specific ideas let us learn from the asset operation company in Yunshui Town, Xin'an District. This matter should have been left to the State-owned Assets Office, but Magistrate Peng considered that the county
According to the specific situation, we are preparing to establish a special asset operation office in the county. I will mainly take the lead in the preparation of this organization and the operation of this company, and you two will be responsible for it."
Ma Qianjun and Wei Mingxuan were surprised. This was the first time they had heard of the concept of Zheng Fu Asset Management Company. Moreover, it was not placed in the State-owned Assets Office within the Finance Bureau, but a dedicated office was established, which was even more sensitive.
"Don't publicize this matter to the outside world. Let's do some research and preparation work first. You two take time to go to Yunshui Town, Xin'an District to study, and then come up with a preliminary plan."
"There is one thing I need to explain to you: in the next step, with the expansion of the new urban area of the county, the location of the county committee and county government offices will definitely be moved north. The preparation of this asset operation company must be carried out in the context of the northward shift of the county government affairs center.
Think about it." Guo Wei waved his hand in a comprehensive and serious manner, "The matter is relatively sensitive, so don't make any announcement until the time is ripe. Let's do the basic work first and wait until County Magistrate Peng comes back to spread it out."
