Now, I have begun to pay attention to the information provided to me by Chairman Ma, because I clearly understand the importance of this information and it is of great importance.
He shook his head and said: "Now the gymnasium in Shangjiang City has begun to be built, and the relocation of the hospital has basically been implemented. Road construction, river embankment reconstruction, and the construction of the entire city have all been included in the budget for the next few years.
However, you have just ignored the issue of veteran cadres. What are veteran cadres? They were all those who were once in power and are the subordinates of those who are now in power. Moreover, the group of people who are successful in the business today all started when they were in power.
developed. Although these people have retired, their energy is still very great. Therefore, the problem of veteran cadres cannot be underestimated. There is a saying that veteran cadres are a very precious asset to us. The profound meaning of this is self-evident
Yes."
I was deeply convinced by what he said, and at the same time I remembered how I invited the old director out during the provincial recruitment process. In fact, I had already realized the important role of veteran cadres at that time, but now, the situation I am in is different from that of
It was different back then, because I faced much less pressure during the provincial recruitment process.
Moreover, the work of the Veteran Cadre Bureau should be under the management of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Although the Veteran Cadre Bureau has reported to the municipal government two or three times on the project of the Veteran Cadre Activity Center, the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee have never said hello to me, so
, in the final analysis, this is because the leaders of the municipal party committee did not pay attention to this matter. I remember that the budget in that report was more than 8 million. I think this expenditure is really too large, and now is the time to spend money, so
Naturally, this project was shelved. Even now, even though Chairman Ma has told me so much about the importance of veteran cadres, I still feel that this project should be shelved for the time being, because I don’t believe in putting this veteran cadre at all.
After the activity center is built, the problem he mentioned earlier can be solved.
So, I just smiled and didn't say much. Now, I felt that the person in front of me was a bit alarmist, and I even began to suspect that he seemed to have another purpose. But when I thought about it, it seemed that for such a project,
It’s not enough for him to talk to me in this way, not to mention that in the exchange between me and him, I have completed all the requirements he made. He should be a very rule-abiding person. Now that he has told me
If this happened, there should be reasons and reasons for it.
Seeing my disapproval, he immediately continued: "Mayor Feng, when I said this, I suddenly remembered a joke: after the completion of a major project, there is still money left, and the Standing Committee is studying it to use it to improve the conditions for running primary and secondary schools.
Or should we improve the prison environment? Opinions have always been divided. Finally, an old member of the Standing Committee made the final decision: Will you members of the Standing Committee still have a chance to enter primary and secondary schools in this life? There was a sudden silence, some wiped sweat, and some bowed their heads to drink tea.
Then a consensus was quickly reached: improve the prison environment. Haha! Mayor Feng, this joke actually illustrates the problem very well. The leaders who retired are all older and they need a place to communicate with each other. This is actually the treatment of the current leaders.
An attitude of old comrades. Old comrades love face very much. If the current leader values them, of course they will serve the current leader. Old comrades have a very wide network of connections and also have a lot of energy. This is millions of people.
can not be ignored."
I shook my head and said, "Chairman Ma, everything you said is right. We will definitely find a way to build the Veteran Cadre Activity Center project. But not now. We don't have the budget for this project at all. But I would like to ask you a question.
, Chairman Ma, I would like to ask, if we build this veteran cadre activity center now, will the problem you mentioned earlier disappear? Can it be solved? "
But he was shaking his head, "The problem cannot be avoided, and it may not be solved. But I know that if you start working now, you will have a lot less trouble in the future."
I suddenly didn’t understand again, “Why?”
He said: "Because only in this way can you get in touch with the person in Shangjiang City who has the most say on many issues. If you encounter any trouble in the future, as long as he is willing to come forward and solve it for you, then the problem will be solved
It’s much simpler.”
Now I seemed to understand a little bit, "Chairman Ma, do you mean that the government spent these eight million just to please an old leader?"
He said: "Mayor Feng, you may not know much about this old leader. He was among the first batch of cadres after liberation and has been serving in Shangjiang City. At that time, Shangjiang City was still at the county level.
Secretary of the County Party Committee. This old comrade is very upright and has a very high prestige in Shangjiang City. I am one of the cadres he promoted. However, this person has a very strange temper. He doesn’t like others to flatter him, let alone others to give him gifts.
What. But he is very prestigious in Shangjiang City. Now the older generation of people in Shangjiang City, whether they are retired cadres or retired workers, all listen to his words. Mayor Feng, you understand what I mean.
Bar?"
I nodded, "What you mean is that the businessmen and officials in Shangjiang City are actually the next generation of this old leader, so if there is any big issue in the future, he will definitely be able to put it aside as long as he comes forward."
.do you mean this?"
He nodded, "That's what I mean. For example, as long as he says a word, I will do anything for him. Because the things he asks me to do are not against the principles, and if I don't do it, the consequences will be
Many local people would criticize me. Jiang Shanan used to be so flamboyant, but he was also well-behaved in front of this old leader. Once, the old leader really couldn't stand what Jiang Shanan was doing, so he went directly to
When he went to Jiang Shan'an's office in the city government, he poked Jiang Shan'an twice with the crutch and said: If you don't restrain yourself, you will go to jail from now on. At that time, Jiang Shan'an didn't dare to express his anger, and he hurriedly flattered Jiang Shan'an.
This old leader said a lot of nice things. Mayor Feng, this old leader is just such a person. In fact, Jiang Shanan became more restrained later on, especially after Secretary Chen and you guys came. But he still couldn't bear to give up what he had gained.
Those things, so we finally got to that point.”
After hearing what he said, I was immediately interested in this legendary old man, and then asked him: "Chairman Ma, after hearing what you said, I probably understand the situation of this old leader, but I don't quite believe it."
One point: Doesn’t he have any preferences? Also, can’t I just get to know him through your introduction? Why do we have to go through the senior center project to win his favor? "
He said: "Mayor Feng, you have asked about the most critical point. The Veteran Cadre Activity Center in Shangjiang City was built more than 20 years ago. There is nothing in it, and the place is small. On weekdays, there is no
No one went to that place. The old leader was not used to it after he retired, so he organized a group of veteran cadres to go there to organize some activities. As a result, not long after he started organizing activities, several old comrades died one after another due to various reasons.
.Some people said that the feng shui of that place was bad, and of course the result was that no one would participate in the activities organized by him anymore. This old leader was not a superstitious person. After investigation, he found that it was the bad luck in the houses in that place.
It was too heavy and had poor ventilation, so he repeatedly asked the current leaders to renovate the place. But until now, his wish has not been realized. As I said before, he has a very weird temper.
Things that were determined must be done. As a result, after every change of office in Shangjiang City, he asked the veteran cadres bureau to report to rebuild the veteran cadres activity center. The people in the veteran cadres bureau could not refuse him, so they reported to the government every time.
In the past, when Mayor Wen was here, the veteran bureau also made a report, but Jiang Shanan felt that the old leader had ruined his face that time, so he acted behind his back and did not allow the matter to be passed at the government executive meeting.
When Mayor Liu was there, the Lao Bureau made another report, but Mayor Liu was too determined at the time to bring this project up for study. Mayor Feng, you are the mayor now, so Lao
The bureau made several more reports at the request of the old leader."
I thought what he said was a bit unbelievable. Not to mention the previous reasons, the following things also made me feel incredible. I immediately asked: "Why did I make several reports in a row after taking office? Moreover,
Why didn't he just come to me?"
He said: "It's very simple. This old leader's health is not as good as before. He hopes to see a new veteran cadre activity center built in his lifetime. In addition, it is said that this old leader heard that you are a good person."
, so I have greater hope. This old leader never asks for help, including when he asks the old cadre bureau to make a report, he always calls the director of the old cadre bureau to tell it. So it is impossible for him to directly
Coming to find you."
Hearing what he said, I felt very strange: Is there such a person in this world? I immediately felt that this matter was a bit weird. But at this time, I didn’t want to ask him more, because I thought since he told
After hearing my situation, he must think that he is like this. Maybe he has a good impression of the old leader and respects him too much, so he did not tell me the actual and most real situation of the old leader.
.And if I doubt this at this time, it will be easy for him to think that I don't believe him. I don't want to cause a gap between me and him because of such a thing. Also, I think this matter needs to be done.
It's clear and simple. I will just ask Mayor Wu directly when the time comes. To be honest, as far as this matter is concerned, I am more willing to believe Mayor Wu's words.
Thinking of this, I immediately said: "Now the city government really can't afford these eight million. Now every penny of the city's finances is planned. Let me think of other ways."
He smiled and said, "Mayor Feng, I just told you what I should say. As for what you are going to do next, that is your business. Maybe I am unfounded, after all, Mayor Feng and you are the
Human thinking is completely different from ours. Your thinking is more advanced. Maybe you will have better solutions when you encounter such problems in the future. I am just providing a way. Mayor Feng, can you come today?
I'm very happy. My personal matters are of no concern. After all, I have reached the point. However, I ask you to take more care of my brother's matters from now on."[
I shook my head and said: "Chairman Ma, what will happen to your brother in the future depends on his own efforts. Now I have given him a platform for development, but if he does not do his job well, I will not be able to continue."
Take care of him. His matter is very controversial in the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. You may already know this matter. So I won’t say much about other things. As long as he can do his job and does his job well, then everything in the future will be smooth.
It’s much easier to handle. What’s more, you and I are both in this officialdom, and it’s difficult for us to control our own destiny. Therefore, I can’t make any guarantees to you about many things now.”
He raised his glass to me and said, "Mayor Feng, you are right. Those few words you just said are enough. Indeed, it is difficult for each of us to control our own destiny. I don't think Secretary Chen was so strong back then.
, in the end, I still left Maicheng. People, it’s enough if you work hard. As for other things, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Later, we didn't drink much from the second bottle of wine, and then I proposed not to drink anymore. I didn't want to get drunk because I was worried that I would be tempted to call Zhu Dan again.
Thinking of Zhu Dan, I felt another pain in my heart, and the pain suddenly spread throughout my body. I endured the pain and returned home, and then quickly entered my room. In my mother's eyes, I remembered that I was
She said: I'm drunk and have to go to bed immediately. I have to go back to work early tomorrow morning.
The moment I entered my bedroom, I immediately felt that my world was spinning and I couldn't stand up anymore. Then, I didn't know how to hold on anymore and slowly fell down...
.I deeply felt the pain in my chest, as if a sharp knife tip was inserted into my heart. However, the pain was often not as good as the pain in my heart. The pain was like a poisonous ivy binding my whole body and making me torture.
If I don't move, I can only fall into this pain and be unable to extricate myself...
Fortunately, I drank. Fortunately, I drank too much, so the effect of alcohol quickly suppressed my pain. It led me into complete darkness, and made me forget the pain very quickly, and even forgot about it.
My own existence...
When I woke up the next morning, not much of the pain in my heart remained. I guess it was because of the alcohol that amplified my pain last night, and at the same time, alcohol made me forget the pain. Now,
I understand a little bit why so many people like to drink.
After returning to the city, I had a lot of things on my hands. In the next period of time, I almost forgot what Chairman Ma told me. This is probably because I didn't pay much attention to this matter.
It wasn't until one day when I met the old bureau chief on the road that I suddenly remembered this matter. However, I didn't ask him about it because I had shelved the report they called.
, I will definitely not ask for trouble until things are understood.
After returning to the office, I immediately called Mayor Wu.
I asked him about this matter immediately, but the question was not direct, because I was thinking more about the work ahead, "Mayor Wu, what do you think is the biggest problem that we may encounter in the future of urban construction?"
What will the problem be?"
He said: "At present, the planning and design have been completed, and many projects are being carried out by developers. There should not be a big problem in this area. What I am worried about is the part of the ancient cultural street we built. The amount of demolition is too large, and it will inevitably happen in the future.
There are some conflicts."
My heart suddenly sank: It turns out that he was also aware of the problem. But why didn't he tell me earlier?
I said calmly: "So how big do you think the problem will be in the future?"
He shook his head and said: "Who knows? Now we have begun to study the issue of compensation standards for demolition. My idea is to introduce a lower standard first, and then see the reaction of the demolition households."
I shook my head and said: "Mayor Wu, I don't think this will work. A standard is a standard. As long as it is formulated, it should be implemented in accordance with that standard from beginning to end. If a lower compensation standard is first established, and then because of everyone's opinions, it should be implemented in accordance with that standard.
If we raise the standard, the public will feel that we still have room to raise the standard, and doing so will also damage the government's prestige."
He looked at me, "So, what do you mean?"
I said: "We can refer to the demolition compensation standards of several nearby cities to set our standards, but their development time is earlier than ours, so we should add the factor of rising prices. In this case, the standards we set will be reasonable after all.
Of course, our standard must be studied and approved by the Municipal Government’s Standing Committee and the Municipal Party Committee’s Standing Committee before it can be implemented. Once this standard is determined after study, it cannot be changed. Mayor Wu, now I think about it
It's not about this standard. As for the compensation standard, we just need to try our best to think about the people. Now, what I'm most worried about is the mass incidents caused by this incident. After all, this incident contains
It has benefited many people, and it is still a huge benefit. Mayor Wu, have you never thought about this?"
He nodded and said: "I have thought about it, of course I have. But I think as long as a problem arises, there will always be a way to solve it. Wasn't it the same thing with Chairman Tan last time?"
I immediately laughed and said, "So you had such a lazy idea. Mayor Wu, there is a difference between this matter and Chairman Tan's matter. Chairman Tan's matter was an unexpected incident, and it was later able to
It is a blessing to get a proper solution. Of course, finding a way to solve the problem after it occurs is also a way. I understand your thinking, because we don't know now that the things we worry about will definitely happen.
But now that we have analyzed the situation where the problem is very likely to occur, why don’t we make some preparations in advance?”
He sighed and said: "But the question is, how can we prepare in advance now?"
I did not answer his question immediately, but asked him immediately: "Mayor Wu, I would like to ask you, who do you think will be the leader if a mass incident occurs?"
He looked at me and immediately smiled, "Mayor Feng, it seems that you have a relatively deep understanding of this situation?"
I smiled and said, "Old Wu, don't avoid the question. This matter is very important."
He shook his head and said: "This matter is very complicated. It may not only include the demolition issues of government projects, but also the projects that developers may face. But developers are different. They can adopt more methods than our government.
Much more. And Mayor Feng, I can’t answer your question just now, because no one is instigating trouble yet, and we cannot regard suspicion as fact. Of course, if I have to tell you who is most likely to instigate trouble,
Then it can only be those who benefit the most. Just look at the heads of households with the largest amount of demolition involved in this urban planning."
I found that he was still avoiding my question, and then said: "What you said means you didn't say anything. This city planning involves so many businesses and private individuals, I can't possibly investigate them one by one, right? But I was thinking
, there must be several families whose properties are spread across several places in this city, and you should know these individuals. Is that right?"
He nodded, "Of course I know, and I can tell you. But, do you want to go find them now? These people take their personal interests very seriously. Of course, they will not refuse your visit, but if you do that
It won't have any effect. Those people will inevitably do one thing in front of their faces and another behind their backs. Even if these people are causing trouble behind the scenes and instigating other citizens to cause trouble, we won't be able to get evidence from these people."
I looked at him and said, "You mean, just ignore this matter? Do you have to wait until it happens and then improvise to find a way to deal with it?"
He said: "Mayor Feng, I am a local, I will talk to those people separately first. But I can't guarantee how effective it will be."
I shook my head, "You can't guarantee it, so what's the use of doing this kind of work? It must be effective and nothing can happen. This is what we must do."
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Mayor Feng, there is only one way."
I asked him hurriedly: "What can I do? Please tell me quickly."
He immediately said: "There is an old revolutionary in our city, and his prestige here is extremely high. As long as we invite him out at that time, many problems can be solved. We can invite local entrepreneurs from all over the city to hold a symposium
, please ask this old comrade to take charge, the effect will be much better. However, ordinary people may not be able to invite this person, either Secretary Rong, or you can do it. Secretary Chen did not visit when he arrived here.
He, Secretary Rong, has not gone since he arrived. It is probably because no one thought of their suggestion, or maybe they thought it was unnecessary. Anyway, the old man is feeling very angry now, so go and invite him now.
It will be even more difficult if you leave the mountain."
I immediately asked: "Is the old revolutionary you are talking about named An?"
He nodded, and then looked at me in surprise, "Mayor Feng, so you already knew this?"
I then told Chairman Ma what I had mentioned about this matter after meeting him, and then asked him: "Old Wu, I feel very strange, if we start the project of the veteran cadre activity center now, it will really
Can we just ask him to come out? With a budget of 8 million, it will be at least 10 million when it is actually completed, including the equipment and some unpredictable additional projects. This is for sure. In this case, our price will also be
Is it too high? Also, where are we going to come up with more than 10 million yuan now? Furthermore, how can this project be passed at the city government’s executive meeting? What reasons can we use to convince others?
Where are the deputy mayors?”
He immediately said: "What Chairman Ma said about Mr. An is true, but the project of the Veteran Cadre Activity Center is not as important as he said. Mr. An hopes that the Veteran Cadre Activity Center can be rebuilt as soon as possible, but it is not yet up to the standard.
The level of importance that Chairman Ma mentioned. Mayor Feng, maybe I shouldn’t explain this matter so clearly. In fact, the situation is like this. Behind the existing veteran cadre activity center is the ancestral home of Chairman Ma’s family.
The current veteran cadre activity center has completely blocked his ancestral home, which has greatly reduced the value of his ancestral home."
I understood immediately, but then I felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly: "But, if we rebuild the veteran cadre activity center, won't his ancestral home be at the back?"
He shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, I guess you haven't seen the veteran cadre activity center. It is a very small piece of land and the buildings are very old. If it is to be rebuilt, it is not suitable at the original place because
There are high-rise buildings on both sides of the Veteran Cadre Activity Center, and the existing Veteran Cadre Activity Center is an old building from before. It has not been set back some distance to leave sidewalks like the houses that were built later. In the final analysis, if we want to rebuild the Veteran Cadre Activity Center
For an activity center, a new place must be found, and the remaining land will be of little use. In other words, the vacant land left after the demolition of that place will become Chairman Ma's ancestral home.
The hospital is in trouble. This is the situation."
Now I completely understood, and there was a kind of anger in my heart: How could this Chairman Ma set a trap for me like this? But then I felt something was wrong: he clearly knew that I would
I went to see that place and easily learned that the ancestral home of his family was behind the Veteran Cadre Activity Center. So why would he set such a trap on me? This is unreasonable. You know, officialdom
What the person above hates most is for others to set a trap for him, and the trap he set is not clever. He should know that once his intentions are exposed, he will definitely offend me. He will not be so stupid.
ah?
I immediately looked at Mayor Wu and said: "Old Wu, I don't think Chairman Ma is so short-sighted. I think there is a more important reason for this."
He said: "I think there may be several reasons for this. First, An Lao is really interested in this project, and Chairman Ma is just taking advantage of it. Second, the Lao Gan Center is not involved in this project.
The overall planning scope of the city, because most of the houses in that area are office buildings built by some units a few years ago. If he can promote the relocation of the Veteran Cadre Activity Center, why not benefit himself? Thirdly, since the Veteran Cadre Activity Center
Sooner or later, it will have to be relocated. Wouldn't it be more advantageous to relocate earlier? This also comes to the issue you mentioned earlier, Mayor Feng. We will invest in the Veteran Cadre Activity Center project sooner or later, so we cannot say that investing now is the only thing we can do.
This kind of loss will only disrupt our plan. However, a mere investment of 10 million will not have a big impact on our financial plan. I believe that it can still be solved as long as we find a way. Fourth, Chairman Ma
What he may have seen is that Shangjiang City is currently undergoing a large-scale urban transformation. I am thinking that maybe he will find a way to buy the small piece of land left after the relocation of the Laogan Center, and then do some renovation on his own.
If the ancestral house is rebuilt, its value will be increased many times. Of course, if we can immediately carry out the project of the veteran cadre activity center, it may be easier to invite the elderly to come out. So I think it is hard to say.
The chairman is thinking about this matter from two perspectives: helping you and helping himself."
After hearing what he said, I immediately felt that things should be like this. I immediately asked him: "Old Wu, you mean, I will report this matter to Secretary Rong first, and then talk to Secretary Rong about it."
Let’s go visit that old man An together?”
He shook his head and said: "I think it would be better for you to visit him directly. Mr. An's ideas are relatively old-fashioned, and he feels that it is not suitable for female comrades to be leaders. Haha! I have only heard other people say this, and I guess it is very
Maybe it’s because such words reached Secretary Rong’s ears that you didn’t visit him?”
I was very surprised, "Why does he have such thoughts?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "This may have something to do with his experience during the Cultural Revolution. It is said that he was slapped several times by a female Red Guard at that time. Later, the female Red Guard became a member of our Shangjiang Revolutionary Committee.
leader. But it may not be for this reason... Who knows? He has already retired, and he has no words to hold back. Moreover, many veteran cadres here listen to his words. He is very popular in our local area.
A man of prestige.”
His words immediately made me hesitate: What if Secretary Rong hates this person and I try to do something about him? How will Secretary Rong view this matter in the future? But then I thought, if I worry too much about such a thing
, and if it affects my work in the future, it will be even more worth the loss. Thinking of this, I immediately asked: "Mayor Wu, if I go to visit him directly, will he see me?"
He shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. This man's temper is a bit weird. He has a good relationship with the retired old workers and the uncles and aunties around him, but he is very cold to the current leaders. In his heart,
There are not many leaders today who are not corrupt. Haha! He is such a person."
I laughed immediately, and then asked: "So, he always has hobbies, right?"
He said: "Mayor Feng, there is someone who can lead you to see him. That is Mr. Liu."
I didn't feel much surprised by his words. According to Mayor Wu and Chairman Ma, Mr. An should be one of those old revolutionaries with conservative ideas and special integrity. If someone has a true friendship with him, then
There are only people like Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu is a scholar, and his age should not be too different from Mr. An. It is not surprising that the two of them can become friends.
So I decided to pay a visit to Mr. Liu first, and by the way, I could learn more about the elderly care situation from him.
However, before going to Mr. Liu, I reported the matter to Secretary Rong first. I will not completely believe some rumors. For me, I must stick to my principles and do things according to the rules. In my heart
It is clear that as a person in the officialdom, if we do not adhere to principles and rules, this road will soon come to an end.
Secretary Chen’s case is a good example.
After listening to my report, Secretary Rong just smiled lightly and said: "Mayor Feng, you don't need to report such things to me. That is your municipal government's business. As long as your work can go smoothly."
As long as there is no trouble, it will be fine. As for the method to be adopted, it will be fine as long as it does not violate the principle."
I smiled and said, "Yes. I understand."
She then smiled at me again. Her smile meant that our conversation for today should be over, and of course I understood.
In addition, I also knew in my heart that what she just said was just a polite statement, and it also showed her ambition as the secretary of the municipal party committee. Nothing more.
Only then did I go to Mr. Liu's place with peace of mind.
[New book opening, please pay attention]
"I have a promise with the policewoman: **Police"
Before becoming a police officer, Liu Feng, a grassroots young man, had voyeuristically peeped at women several times due to his adolescent impulses. However, he never imagined that his life would be forever associated with voyeurism. A bizarre case involved Liu Feng in a huge conspiracy.
Let him begin a painful struggle between going with the flow and sticking to the bottom line.
Excellent people will always face more temptations. Can Liu Feng escape from such a fate?
