Chapter Twenty Nine(1/2)
Three days later, the Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee held a standing committee meeting to study the issue of cadre adjustment. [`Novel`]
Secretary Chen personally presided over the meeting and first gave a long speech. The content of his speech was mainly to analyze the reasons for Shangjiang City's economic backwardness, and then talked about his ideas for the next reform.
In his analysis of the reasons for the economic backwardness of Shangjiang City, he mentioned one of the most important issues: concepts. The concepts of cadres and the concepts of ordinary people. He said: "History is created by the people. There is no problem with this sentence, but there is a certain aspect of history. It is also an indisputable fact that leaders are in charge of this period. my country's reform and opening up and the fact that the country is slowly becoming rich and powerful have already illustrated this. Coastal cities are at the forefront of economic development, and the current situation of economically developed areas in our province is also This has been proved in the same way. Therefore, the conceptual problem of the members of the leadership team of the four major families in Shangjiang City needs to be solved urgently. This is also an issue that we urgently need to solve. The adjustment of the team of our Shangjiang City by the Provincial Party Committee this time is completely based on This goal is starting. However, many of our current department heads in Shangjiang City are unqualified, at least in terms of concepts, especially in their understanding of reform. I believe that all comrades here have already understood this. Saw it..."
He then went on to talk about his ideas for reform, mainly talking about several points. First, the reform of state-owned enterprises should be completed within his term of office, so that state-owned enterprises can carry out joint-stock reform, and the state-owned nature of state-owned enterprises must be adhered to, but private shares can be allowed to enter.
"State-owned shares account for at least 51%. This is the bottom line." He said.[
The second is to make full use of various existing resources in Shangjiang City, including our geographical advantages, to develop the economy.
"Real estate development must be developed in our city as soon as possible. Our state-owned enterprises can get involved in this industry, and we should let them compete with those private enterprises. As the Shangjiang government, we only look at economic indicators, only GP, and any other
Things can be put aside temporarily. As long as the economy develops, other things can be slowed down. In a word, everything is centered on economic construction," he said.
This sentence may sound very plain, but as members of the Standing Committee here, we all know that his sentence is very important. In fact, it should be regarded as an overall principle of our reform in Shangjiang City. In other words, as long as it can
Industries that can make money, develop, and stimulate the economy can be boldly pursued.
Later, the red light district was prevalent in Shangjiang City for a long time, and his principle played a great role. Of course, this is a story for later. However, this industry did greatly improve the economy and popularity of Shangjiang City.
Improvement, but also stimulated the reform process of the entire Shangjiang City from another aspect.
But this also illustrates a problem: concept.
As the secretary of the municipal party committee, the issues he considers are indeed different. He must break out of the traditional thinking framework, and at the same time he must withstand pressure from all aspects. You know, he is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the pressure he needs to bear is higher than that of other people.
Leadership is much bigger, including ideological aspects.
His speeches are principles and do not require study or debate.
Then Minister Yang of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee spent a long time reporting the preliminary plan for this cadre adjustment to the Standing Committee members present. He explained it in detail and knew the situation of each cadre very well. It can be seen that he is indeed
It took a lot of effort. But I found that the plan he announced this time was basically the result of one step, and it was not like the situation that Secretary Chen and he came to discuss with me last time.
This is inevitable, because the current situation in Shangjiang City is different from what they originally expected, because Mayor Wen's power has been completely contained due to that incident.
Sure enough, Minister Yang's plan was almost completely approved in subsequent studies.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Minister Yang's adequate preparations.
After this meeting, the next step is for the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department to talk to the cadres who need to be adjusted one by one, and then the National People's Congress holds an executive meeting to elect appointments and removals.
This cadre adjustment led by Secretary Chen has a very important principle, that is, no department head will be removed from office. At most, it will be a horizontal adjustment, from an important department to a general department. Of course, the power in the hands of some people suddenly
It has been weakened a lot.
I understand that his intention in doing this is to maintain minimum stability, which is also one of the very important principles.
The attitudes of Mayor Wen and Jiang Shanan towards me have really changed a lot. Especially Jiang Shanan, he actually came to my office that day.
"Mayor Feng, can I come and sit with you? I've wanted to come here to chat with you for a long time. I've been too busy recently." He said to me with a smile after he came in, as if he had happened to us before.
It's like the unpleasantness doesn't exist.
I hurriedly asked him to sit down politely, then went to make him a cup of tea myself, and took out a pack of cigarettes to open and light for him.
Everyone carries the sedan chair, and it must be like this in the officialdom. Even if the opponent has evil intentions, he must be greeted with a smile. The officialdom is not a battlefield in ancient times, and it is best not to use a head-on approach.
"How's it going? Are you still getting used to it when we get to Shangjiang City?" He asked me with a smile.[
This was a late greeting, and it was also a pretext. I secretly felt a little funny in my heart. I smiled and said to him: "Mayor Jiang, what you said is not quite right. Why do you call your Shangjiang City?"
Ah? I'm now the serious deputy mayor of Shangjiang City. Haha! I'm just kidding. I'm used to it, of course I'm used to it. It's right next to the provincial capital, and it's very convenient to go home."
He smiled and said: "That's what I meant anyway. Mayor Feng, I apologize to you for what happened last time. I was a little excited at the time. I hope you don't take it to heart. I have such a shitty temper."
I laughed "haha", "It's normal for everyone to have different opinions on work matters, right? I was also very excited at the time. Mayor Jiang, we are colleagues, and there is no such thing as offending anyone within eight hours."
.Really? I was worried that you would be angry because of the careless way I spoke at that time."
He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, you have reached such a level at such a young age, and your future will be even brighter. I was still a small section chief when I was your age. Hey! This person must not go there.
Comparison, you have to throw it away when comparing goods, right?"
I smiled and said: "Mayor Jiang, I don't agree with your statement. Although you were promoted a little late, you are very fast in the future. It's like playing mahjong. What's the use of calling too early if you can't match the tiles?"
Haven't you reached this level now? Mayor Jiang, I actually take some things lightly and never deliberately pursue anything. Anyway, I believe in one sentence: What belongs to you must be yours.
It's your own, and there's no point in pursuing it desperately if it's not yours. To be honest, I really miss those days when I was a doctor. How leisurely and happy I was. Alas! It's not possible now. This officialdom thing is better than being a doctor.
It’s much more complicated.”
He shook his head and said: "Actually, things in the officialdom are not complicated. Just like you said, you can do whatever you have to do. But I think some things still need to be worked hard to achieve. Maybe you also know,
When I became the deputy mayor, many people opposed it. In fact, those rumors were just rumors. How could there be such a thing? Didn't the organization clearly understand everything? It's a joke. Didn't I do a good job after I became the deputy mayor?
Is that so? I feel that I have done a lot of useful work in these years."
I smiled and said, "It's not surprising. People with strong abilities will always be criticized by others. This is the case everywhere, and it has been like this since ancient times."
He immediately grinned and said, "Mayor Feng, I love hearing what you say."
I looked at him and said, "Mayor Jiang, our Shangjiang City is about to carry out comprehensive reforms. You are in charge of industry, and your work here is arduous."
He sighed and said: "Yes. Mayor Feng, you have to support me more in the future. I have too many things on my side, and I have to sort them out immediately. But I don't feel the pressure.
It’s not too big, because as the deputy mayor, I only need to implement the decisions made by the municipal party committee and the municipal government. The leaders in the province are really wise. They sent our city Secretary Chen, who is very capable and can
A good leader who controls the overall situation, with him, our work will be much easier."
I nodded and said: "Yes. The leaders in the province must be very wise. They must have carefully considered all aspects when selecting people. Secretary Chen has rich experience in government work and was once a provincial leader.
Man, our next reforms will require strong support from some departments in the province, and he must be very good at coordinating work in this area."
He smiled and said, "That's for sure. But Mayor Feng, do you know what I'm most worried about right now?"
I looked at him, "Oh? Tell me."
He said: "What I am most worried about now is our finance. Our Shangjiang City is a poverty finance and a wage finance. For example, the reform of state-owned enterprises involves the layoff of a large number of workers, and this one-time compensation cost will definitely cost hundreds of millions.
This...how can we get it all at once? Mayor Feng, you are in charge of finance, you have to consider this money in advance, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do my job.
.”
I nodded and said, "Yes. But this matter is too big to be my fault alone. I'm thinking about whether to suggest to Mayor Wen that we convene a government executive meeting to study this matter in the near future. But
I'm not particularly worried about this matter, because I think we can lay off as few people as possible. According to Secretary Chen's thinking, the main direction of state-owned enterprise reform is to adjust the industrial structure. After all, our company is
For state-owned enterprises, making money is only one aspect, but I don’t think it should be the most important aspect.”
He looked at me with interest, "Oh? Mayor Feng, what do you think is the most important thing?"
I said: "I think the main purpose of state-owned enterprise reform is to prevent state-owned enterprises from becoming a burden to the government. If too many people are laid off, these people are likely to become a destabilizing factor in society. This is actually another kind of
Ways to increase the government's burden. Nowadays, all state-owned enterprises in our city are in a state of long-term losses. I think the first thing our Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government should do is to do everything possible to adjust the enterprises on the premise of laying off as few people as possible.
As long as the company no longer loses money and can support our workers, turning losses into profits should be the next step. So I think that solving the burden on the government and providing employment opportunities for more people is the only way to
It is the primary responsibility of state-owned enterprises."
He nodded and said: "I think what you said makes sense. Mayor Feng, I didn't expect you to see the problem with such depth and height."
I thought his words sounded a little disgusting, but I was sneering in my heart because I knew that he came to me today just to numb me and give me the illusion that he had no hostility towards me.
Now, I found that he did not want to leave immediately, and seemed to want to continue talking with me. I had no choice but to continue to find topics to talk about, "In fact, it is easy for the government to make money, because we have something very important on our hands.
This very important thing is land and taxation. I think the direction set by Secretary Chen is completely correct. Obtaining loose government finances through real estate development is the only feasible way at present. Real estate development can make people
When the city becomes beautiful, our land resources can be monetized, and it can also stimulate the development of other industries, such as building materials, catering, entertainment, etc. Haha! Mayor Jiang, if this happens, the cement factory in our city will
Then you can come back to life.”
He patted his thigh lightly, "Yes, so I fully support the reform in our city."
I said coldly in my heart: Do you dare to disagree? But I said in my mouth: "Yes, this is the general trend. If our Shangjiang City continues to be so poor, then we will bear historical responsibility.
We are also ashamed of the people of Shangjiang City, and we will let down the trust placed in us by the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee.”[
He smiled and said: "Yes. Mayor Feng is so right." Then he looked at the time and then said to me: "Mayor Feng, let's go to dinner together in the evening. It's already time to get off work.
To be honest, I feel very sorry for you. I haven't treated you to a meal since you came here. This is mainly because I was too busy with work some time ago. How about Mayor Feng, you should have dinner tonight.
Is it empty? I called the directors of several factories, and you can also use this opportunity to learn more about the company's situation from them."
Now I understand that the reason why he came to my office today was for this matter. For me, trying not to conflict with them is the most important principle at the moment. So now I must stop quietly.
, this is not only a matter related to myself, but also to consider the overall situation and not disrupt Secretary Chen's steps. So I immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I have to toast you a few glasses tonight."
"
Then he and I called our own drivers and went to the place to eat.
Although one car can fit both of us, we each brought our own cars. This is a matter of face, and even if we want to share a car, he can only sit in my car because I am the manager.
The deputy mayor is ranked ahead of him.
In official circles, dignity is not measured by age, but by rank and position.
Dinner is arranged in a restaurant. I have been to this place before, and it is said that it is opened by the wife of the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. But to be honest, the food here tastes very good, especially the beef mixed with wild vegetables.
Jue: The beef is braised, then added with spicy flavor, and mixed with a crispy wild vegetable, which makes it delicious.
I know all the factory directors who came to the dinner. I went to their factories for research before I officially took office, and we had already had drinks together. I think their abilities are very good, but they are not.
To be continued...
