Chapter Forty-One(1/3)
Industrial parks are actually quite a first-level government agency. [`Novel`] As an industrial park, a certain range of land needs to be demarcated and planned in advance for the purpose of setting up and using industrial facilities.
Although Minister Wu and I were appointed at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee today, we currently have nothing in hand. The land is readily available because the industrial park has been planned before. But the place is still deserted.
, we need to start planning and construction of that place immediately. This includes the roads in the park, basic facilities such as water and electricity, as well as greening, etc.
There is also the issue of people. At the end of the day, this industrial park is just two people: me and Director Wu. We have to find the other people immediately and then set up a team as soon as possible.
Minister Wu’s secretary made tea for me. Minister Wu smiled and said to me: “Let’s have dinner together at noon. We may have to discuss matters related to the industrial park together today. The faster we do this, the better.
Okay, Secretary Chen has already expressed this meaning in his words, and he has also given us full financial rights and personnel appointment and dismissal rights. Mayor Feng, don’t worry, I will be your logistics minister, just do it boldly.
, if something goes wrong, the two of us will be responsible together."
I hurriedly said: "You are the secretary, and you need to make decisions on many issues."[
He shook his head and said: "There is a difference between the industrial park and the local government. You, the director, are the real supervisor. Today, Secretary Chen first proposed your appointment, which is very clear. Mayor Feng, I have no other choice."
Any meaning. To be honest, I also hope that I can do some practical things, especially get more involved in economic work. When Secretary Chen came to talk to me, he asked me a question. He asked me: What do you think about industrial parks?
Who is the most suitable person in charge? At that time, I immediately replied: Mayor Feng, only Mayor Feng is the most suitable. He asked me why, and I said: If we really want to set up an industrial park, we must do it well.
If so, there must be someone in charge who has an open mind, a steady style, understands economics, and works hard. According to the convention of serving as the top leader of other local economic development zones and industrial parks, his status must be a member of the Standing Committee, but in our city
Among the existing standing committee members, I think only Mayor Feng has these conditions. He nodded at that time and said that he thought the same way, and then talked about my matter. He believed that cooperation between the two of us is the best match, because he
I think you still have shortcomings, that is, you are too impatient in doing things, while I am relatively slow-tempered, and I am a local. When many things need to be coordinated in the future, I will be more effective. Mayor Feng, I also know
It will take a lot of time and experience to build this industrial park, and what’s even more troublesome is that we are currently facing a completely blank slate, with no money, no people, and everything has to start from scratch.”
I sighed and said, "Yes. Everything has to start from scratch. Minister Wu, I think so, I'll leave it to you to select and build the team. I'm not very familiar with the cadres here, and I don't know their situation."
I don’t even know. I will figure out the early construction planning and funding issues, and we will implement them separately, so that things can be done faster.”
But he shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, this is not possible. Secretary Chen also gave instructions on this matter. First, let us be bold in employing people. If there are suitable candidates, we can also transfer them from other places.
, and another thing is that the process of promoting cadres does not necessarily have to be based on a person's previous level, special talents can be promoted exceptionally. He also said that he only has one requirement, and that is to build the industrial park as soon as possible.
Second, for construction funds, you can first get a loan from a bank. It should be no problem for the government to lend money, and the bank does not need to worry about the future repayment ability of the industrial park. After all, we have the most valuable thing in our hands, that is land. In addition, there are
There is future taxation. Mayor Feng, I think it is not appropriate to separate the people issue and the issue of accelerating construction, because we must first build a good team, and then we can proceed to the next step. It is impossible for you and me to do those things.
Specific things, right? We just need to grasp the overall situation and formulate principles and directions. What do you think?"
I smiled bitterly and nodded: "It seems that I am indeed too impatient. Isn't this? My old habit has happened again."
He laughed and said, "Mayor Feng, this is understandable. This is entirely because you want to get things done right away."
I immediately said: "Minister Wu, you really need to pay more attention to human issues. I am really not familiar with and understand the cadres here."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay. I will come up with a list as soon as possible, and then we will study it together. But there is one thing you have to ask Mayor Liu. If the industrial park project is to be launched, your municipal government will
Bian has to come up with at least 10 million first."
I shook my head and said: "How can we get so much? I am in charge of money and know how much money we can use financially. Let me think about this matter carefully. First set up the team and personnel.
Wages are easy to deal with. Just transfer their establishment from the original unit to the management committee, and the wage problem will be solved. In fact, the start-up capital is not much, one million is completely enough. In the final analysis, we must first set the path
It is easy to connect water, electricity and water to the industrial park. We can ask the companies involved in the construction to advance funds after bidding, and then we will consider the subsequent funds. How much money is needed for government projects? In fact, in the final analysis, it is still our office expenses and
Hospitality expenses.”
He then asked me: "Don't we need to build an office building first? Don't we need to buy a car or something first?"
I nodded, "Of course these are needed. But not now. Now we can find a temporary office in a government building or other places, and then start repairing the office building of the management committee after the infrastructure is basically completed. There is no need now.
Buy a car right away. I will transfer a car from the city government and let the people below run things. You and I can also let other people use our cars temporarily when we don’t need to use them. Minister Wu, I
My opinion is that in the early stage, we should keep everything simple. In addition, we must complete the infrastructure construction as soon as possible and let the companies that need to move in start construction as soon as possible. By then, our office buildings can be constructed at the same time as them."
He nodded and then asked me: "Mayor Feng, how long do you think it will take to complete the infrastructure construction?"
I thought about it and said: "It must be completed in one month. Build the road first, and then connect water and electricity as soon as possible. If possible, we can do it at the same time. It is best to pave the road with clay, which is fast and beautiful."
He patted the sofa gently, "That's great. Mayor Feng, I immediately felt much younger. Your words made my blood boil."
I immediately laughed, then shook my head and said: "There will be a lot of troubles in the future. You will see when the time comes."
What I said was correct. When we met the next day, when he brought out the list of cadres we were going to use, he smiled bitterly and said to me: "Mayor Feng, many people came to me last night, either asking to go
Those who serve as deputy directors or mid-level cadres of the management committee, or employees of the company who want to be transferred to the management committee. And... haha! Look at this list, there are many people in it.
Standing Committee members."
I asked in surprise: "Why doesn't anyone come to see me?"
He smiled and said, "I am the secretary. And these people seem to be afraid to come to you, for fear of being blocked by you. I am a local, and everyone is familiar with me, so they all come to me."
I sighed and said, "Maybe that's not the reason? These people are actually afraid of me."
Yes, I felt it right away. Maybe it was because of Mayor Wen’s incident, maybe it was because I was too close to Secretary Chen, and I didn’t have much contact with other leaders and subordinates on weekdays, so they didn’t come to me to do anything.
.In fact, I have always felt that I am approachable enough, and I am quite concerned about my subordinates. But now I understand that the distance between people is something that cannot be explained or explained. Maybe
Is it because I always pay too much attention to my status as Mayor Feng, and always criticize others even though I care about others? Or is it because in people’s eyes, I am an intellectual and too “excellent”?
[
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Minister Wu has such deep roots in the local area that many people are going after him. Or maybe he intentionally leaked his power in personnel matters to others? No, that shouldn't be the case.
In this case, if that were the case, he would not have come to tell me about this matter. Anyway, my impression of this person is actually very good. I found that he is very different from other local cadres. He is steady and modest.
, and it’s quite elegant.
I was thinking wildly there, and then I heard him smiling and saying: "Mayor Feng, actually, you don't like to talk much sometimes. Except in meetings or work issues, you seem to be talking to the people below you on weekdays.
You always maintain a distance. Maybe because of this, everyone is a little afraid of you. In fact, I envy you. Distance brings majesty. But I can't do it. I am a local. Maybe someone is one of my relatives.
, so I can only be polite to everyone."
I felt that it was meaningless for us to talk about such things now, so I took a closer look at the list in my hand.
Minister Wu was very meticulous in his work. He noted the current position and level behind each person, and then suggested what position the person should take in the industrial park.
First, I took a rough look at the organizational structure he designed. There are three deputy directors under the director of the management committee, and then there are the office, investment promotion office, planning and environmental protection office, construction office, inspection and acceptance office, finance office, and general office.
There are many organizations such as the Governance Office and the Labor and Social Security Office. The party committee system has two deputy secretaries, of which I serve part-time, and a secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Below are the labor union, party committee office, youth league committee, etc.
I didn't look at the lists first, but said to him directly: "Minister Wu, I have an immature idea. Please consider it after I express it."
He hurriedly said: "Mayor Feng, you can say whatever you want. This is my initial idea, and I also refer to the settings of industrial park management committees in other places. Haha! I don't have much experience in this area, so I just follow it.
It’s just a gourd. From now on, the two of us will be partners. If I have anything wrong with you, just tell me."
I nodded, "Minister Wu, do you know what my first feeling was after seeing this list? It's because the organization is bloated. It's easier to do things with more people, but the burden is also heavier with more people. The basic salary can solve it, but in the future
What about the benefits and bonuses? In addition, too many organizational structures can easily lead to overstaffing, which can lead to delays in work and low efficiency. In addition, industrial parks are a new thing in our city, so in the future we will discuss whether
We must serve as a model in terms of organizational setup, work efficiency and management methods, methods, and ideas. Minister Wu, what do you think?"
He nodded, "Mayor Feng, can you share your thoughts?"
In fact, I was thinking just now: Am I taking this too seriously? But then I still felt that I was right. I then said: "There is nothing in this industrial park at present. If we build so many institutions, then
If we bring in such a large group of people, not only will it have a bad impact, but others will also see our jokes. Minister Wu, this is my real thought. The main reason is that we should tell the truth between us, so I will not
You need to hide your opinions.”
He said: "Mayor Feng, you don't need to explain anything. This is how things should be between us. The main reason is that I don't have much experience in this area. The only thing is that I am relatively familiar with the local cadres. In this way, you can talk first
Come up with your ideas, and then we’ll discuss specific candidates together.”
While he was speaking, I had been secretly observing his expression and his eyes. I felt that he was quite sincere. So I continued: "Minister Wu, I think, under you and me,
Two deputy positions are enough, one as your assistant and one as mine. Of course, there is no need to separate them so clearly. They can do both party affairs and administrative work. You can hold the concurrent post of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and set up a separate position in
There is no need there. The key issue is our management system. If the system is perfected, it will be impossible for the people below to be corrupt. In addition, it is enough to set up an office under the management committee. This office can contact the management committee.
All leaders, please contact the various departments below. Then, I think the settings of the departments below should also be streamlined. There is currently no problem of attracting investment, and in the future, this part of the work can also be undertaken by the office, and social security and other matters can be assigned to
Go to the functions of the office, as well as external liaison and publicity, etc. These are all included in the work of the office. Then we will set up a financial department. For the construction of the park, we can set up a company to operate it. This company can be called municipal administration
company or any other name. The role of this company is to operate all projects in the park, including planning, design, construction, etc. There is also land replacement. Because the companies we are planning to relocate are currently in the main city, they will inevitably
It will involve the issue of land replacement, and the replaced land needs to be auctioned and developed, which requires a company to operate it. It is also relatively routine to apply for bank loans in the name of the management committee company.
Yes, we can obtain profits reasonably and legally using the company's operating model. From now on, there will be no problem with our benefits, bonuses, etc. Minister Wu, to be honest, under the current circumstances, if the city government is required to pay how much
It is impossible to run our project with money coming and going, but we can set up such a company, and this company belongs to the Industrial Park Management Committee under the Shangjiang Municipal Government, so the government must inject capital into this company in advance.
That is what people often call a company’s registered capital. At that time, we can register as a company of five million, and then we can use the five million to operate. Of course, we will have to pay back this money sooner or later."
He looked at me in surprise, "You still want to pay it back? Why?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "Yesterday I went to see Mayor Liu and this was his opinion. He said that the industrial park was established to promote local economic development. The government can support it in the early stage, but after the project is launched, the government will
The money that goes out must be repaid, and at most it will not be calculated with interest. Minister Wu, I thought about it later and felt that his opinion was right. As this newly established industrial park, we must make profits in the future and must have self-hematopoiesis function.
.Our industrial parks are just like Shenzhen and Zhuhai in the early days of reform and opening up. At the beginning, the central government provided some support, but in the end we still need to work hard to do everything well and repay the government. Therefore, I think our industrial parks in the future are the most important.
It is best to adopt a corporate operation model."
He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, your thinking is too broad, and I can't keep up. But I have to think you are right. Mayor Feng, just do what you say. Now, let's work together
Let’s study the candidates for the main cadres.”
