Before I left the hospital, I told the person in charge of the hospital to take good care of Mr. An. (.Plain text) Then I apologized to Mr. An’s children who came after hearing the news.
Mr. An's daughter also has a hot temper. When she first came to the ward, she shouted at her father: "I told you to mind your own business, but you just didn't listen!"
An Lao didn't lose his temper at all at that time. This still confirms the saying: In front of his children, no matter how prestigious a person is, he is just a father.
But when I apologized to them now, Mr. An's daughter was very polite to me. She said, "Mayor Feng, it's okay. We have to thank you. We asked him to take medicine to lower his blood pressure before, but he just didn't want to."
Listen. Fortunately, he listened to you this time, otherwise there would have been a big problem."[
After leaving the hospital, I returned to the office and immediately invited Mayor Wu over. He also participated in today's symposium, but after An Lao's incident, I asked him to stay and talk to those corporate legal persons.
In my heart, I still hope that they can repent after what happened to An Lao.
Under the current big situation at the national level, I still think it is better for the government to try not to conflict with the business community. Now is the time when we in Shangjiang City need to support business development. I am worried that if I am not careful, it will affect the development of business.
the confidence of other foreign investors.
"How is it?" I asked Mayor Wu immediately after he came in.
He shook his head and said: "They have stopped talking. In the final analysis, they are using silence to fight against us. It seems that the only option is to demolish them by force."
I waved my hand and said: "Try not to resort to forced demolition. It is only the method used when there is no other way. Let's follow the work procedures we have arranged previously and let our staff go to each demolition house as soon as possible.
Sign the contract with the customer.”
But he shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, what I am most worried about now is that if these large households do not sign the contract, other demolition households will wait and see. And this situation is very likely to happen. In the face of economic interests,
Anyone would put responsibility aside. That’s normal.”
What he said made sense and spoke about human nature. I nodded and said, "Let's do it. Let them think about it again and go to those big investors to sign first tomorrow. If they still don't agree, we will take some measures."
Next steps.”
He looked at me, "Forced demolition? Or arresting people?"
I shook my head, "We'll talk about it tomorrow after seeing the situation."
He looked at me suspiciously, "Do you really want to do that?"
I laughed "haha", "Let's talk about it tomorrow. What if they agree to sign the contract tomorrow?"
He pointed at me, "You." Then he reminded me: "Mayor Feng, you should be cautious in some methods. Maybe those people are trying to make things worse."
I was still laughing, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I just thought about it again. Now that our demolition compensation standard has been determined, it cannot be changed. Other demolition households should try their best to ask them to sign.
We cannot stop the entire work just because of these few people."
He nodded and said, "Okay."
As a result, the news that came back the next day was that the large households still refused to sign the contract, and two-thirds of the ordinary demolition households chose to wait and see.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: These people underestimated the power and wisdom of the government. However, I clearly felt that there was an official background hidden in this matter, otherwise those businessmen would not be so bold.
In this case, I had to consider the last option.
Immediately I called Secretary Rong and asked to report to her immediately. Of course she wouldn't say much because she knew that what I wanted to report to her was usually major matters.
I reported the situation to Secretary Rong in detail and said: "Secretary Rong, we can only take further measures now. We have followed your instructions and done our best. These people obviously have official backgrounds and the chain of interests is
On the one hand, wanting to see our jokes is on the other hand.”[
She nodded and said: "This is inevitable. Mayor Feng, what do you think? Forced demolition?"
I shook my head and said: "I think forced demolition is only the last resort. We'd better not do it easily. I was thinking, why do these people dare to go against the municipal party committee and the municipal government? From this, I thought of the boss at the symposium
What he said was that their houses were private property and should be protected
She immediately laughed and said, "What a good idea. There are very few companies nowadays that do not evade taxes. But it is enough for your municipal government to organize people to investigate this matter. Why do you need the municipal committee to come forward?"
I said: "Secretary Rong, think about it, since they are very likely to be involved in tax evasion or illegal operations, then they are likely to have a close relationship with our city's industrial and commercial and taxation departments. If the municipal party committee does not come forward,
Then such an investigation will not have much deterrent effect. In addition, there is likely to be an official's background involved in this matter, so once our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection comes forward to participate in this inspection, the hearts of those officials hiding behind will immediately
When people are nervous, without the support of these talents, the legal persons of several enterprises will just obey obediently? As long as the problem of demolition of these large households is solved, other demolition households will not have much problem. For those ordinary households,
For the demolished households, they are just waiting and watching."
Secretary Rong pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I agree with your opinion, but this matter is of great importance. I am going to convene a Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee to study and make a decision immediately. No, it is my personal decision. I will simply consult everyone.
Standing Committee members’ opinions, and then ask the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to cooperate in the implementation of this inspection.”
When she said this, she immediately laughed, "Mayor Feng, I have another idea. We will convene a municipal party committee standing committee to study this matter and make careful arrangements for it. But when will we actually implement this plan?
We can postpone it one day. Think about it, what will be the result if we do this?"
I understood immediately, "Secretary Rong, are you saying that the main purpose of this Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee is to bluff?"
She nodded and said: "The Standing Committee must be convened. If we take action one day late after the meeting, it will be best if those people can have the wisdom to stop fighting against the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Now it is we who are cultivating Shangjiang City
It is the most important period for business. At this time, it is best for us not to have real direct conflicts with the business community. We can spread the word after convening the Municipal Standing Committee, and those private business owners and the people behind them will definitely be nervous.
But only you and I know our true intentions. After the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, you must immediately convene the industry and commerce, taxation, environmental protection, safety inspection and other departments to hold a work arrangement meeting. I think this way, we will convene the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee tomorrow morning
Meeting, and then you will hold a work meeting. I will talk to the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection first. Shangjiang is a small place. Who knows if these people have a deep relationship with those companies? Since it is acting, then
We are going to make this drama real. You think so, right?"
I couldn't help but admire her sincerely. Although I came up with this strategy, she was able to consider the problem so comprehensively immediately, which made my strategy perfect. I said with a smile: "Secretary Rong, I completely agree.
This method of yours is great!"
She immediately frowned and said: "If these people are still ignorant under such circumstances, then we have to get to the bottom of some things."
I know that this matter must be decided for both her and me, but I believe there will be no such result. From the time I came to Shangjiang City as the executive deputy mayor until now, I
I already have a deep understanding of the situation of these private enterprises. This matter is just like the Discipline Inspection Commission investigating our cadres. As long as we are serious, there are rarely no problems. If there are really companies that do not evade taxes.
, then only state-owned enterprises. Because there is no need for the leaders of state-owned enterprises to make mistakes for such things.
I said: "Secretary Rong, such a situation should not happen. Among these companies, there may be a very small possibility that one or two will not have big problems, but as long as they are disintegrated, the problems will be just as good.
solved."
Secretary Rong smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, you are really good at applying Mao Zedong Thought. Divide, disintegrate... Well, not bad. So let's do it."
I also laughed, "Secretary Rong, but this way we won't be able to find the officials behind the company leaders."
She shook her head and said: "One night King Chuzhuang hosted a banquet for his ministers. Everyone was drunk. Suddenly the candles in the palace went out. General Tang Qiao took the opportunity to tease the concubine next to King Chuzhuang. The concubine was shocked and took off Tang Qiao's hair.
Anyone with a red tassel on his head cried out to the King of Chu that he was a molester. At that time, the candle had not yet been lit again, but King Zhuang of Chu did not punish the rude general. Instead, he ordered the officials at the banquet to remove all the red tassels on their heads.
Next, in this way, except Tang Ciao himself, no one knew who the person who boldly committed the crime just now, and no one mentioned it again after that. Many years later, King Zhuang of Chu was attacked and was in danger. Fortunately, a general came to fight and rescued him.
The King of Chu, it turned out that the general was Tang Ciao. He had always been grateful to King Zhuang for not punishing him, so he risked his life to repay his kindness. During the Three Feudatories Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi burned the letters between ministers and Wu Shangui. This was not only because he could not take responsibility.
In addition to punishing the public, the more important thing is to stabilize the overall situation. Our current situation is the same. Stability is beneficial to our development. This is the overall situation. Isn't there a saying like this? 'You will not live for a long time if you do it'.
If you walk at night, you will bump into ghosts. If those people do not want to repent in the future, problems will happen sooner or later. Now we must seize the time and use all our energy to do a good job in the construction of our Shangjiang City and let our
The finances will get better as soon as possible, and at the same time we must work hard to improve the living standards of citizens. This is the most important thing."
I am convinced. This matter has been settled.
The Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee was held the next morning. At the meeting, Secretary Rong directly mentioned the proposal to inspect the city's enterprises in taxation, safety, and environmental protection standards. She did not mention the demolition at all, but she
The reason is very simple. She said that this work is needed for the economic development of our Shangjiang City. Moreover, she did not say that she would specifically inspect those companies, but arranged this work as a routine. She said: "
Originally, this work could be done by the municipal government, but I think that there are so many big projects in progress or about to start in our city, so we still need the intervention of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. The intervention of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is also to protect our cadres. Therefore.
, today I specially convened this Municipal Party Committee Standing Meeting to inform everyone of this matter. At the same time, I also ask everyone here to actively cooperate with this inspection. After this meeting, Mayor Feng is requested to convene a special meeting immediately to discuss the matter.
Arrange this matter as soon as possible..."
As she told me the day before, this meeting was actually a briefing, so the meeting was very short. After the meeting, I immediately asked the secretary-general of the municipal government to notify the heads of relevant departments to the municipal government for a meeting.
Mayor Wu arrived at my office with a strange look on his face, "Mayor Feng, Secretary Rong and your move are really brilliant. If we check this, the problem will definitely come out. Then these people will still be there
Why don't you just give in obediently? What a great idea and a great way! This approach is much better than forced demolition or arresting people directly."
I smiled at him, but I was thinking in my heart: You don’t know our real intention. Then I said to him: "I will ask you to host today’s meeting. Tell them that I will check tomorrow."
According to their preparations, this inspection must officially start tomorrow afternoon."
He looked at me and smiled, "Okay. I'll host the meeting."
I nodded towards him, "Old Wu, we are such good partners."[
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, I understand your concerns. This matter may be rumored by some people as your retaliation. Therefore, I also think it is better for me to chair this meeting."
I couldn't help but remind him again, "Remember, let the person in charge of the meeting report to me tomorrow morning on their preparations."
He was stunned for a moment, and then asked me in a low voice: "Mayor Feng, is this meeting just a bluff?"
I regretted my reminder just now and hurriedly said: "Who said that? The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has already met. This is no joke."
He laughed, "I understand. Mayor Feng, don't worry, I will arrange everything."
Maybe my reminder just now made him realize the true intentions of Secretary Rong and me, but he didn't say more. I still trust him very much, so no matter whether he guesses our true intentions or not,
It's not that important anymore.
He is really a very competent deputy. As a competent deputy, the most important thing is to have two abilities: one is to be able to accurately understand the real intention of the leader. The other is to have strong execution ability
.
In fact, it is not easy to truly be a qualified deputy.
In the eyes of many people, a deputy who has some power but is restricted by his superiors is an awkward role. In addition to being criticized by both sides, he is a thankless person. He is just a sycophant and subservient person, which cannot maximize his personal value.
In fact, if you look at the deputy's position from another angle, as long as you have a stable mentality and deal with things properly, you can still perform a wonderful workplace: recognize the facts and correct your mentality. Compared with the main job, the deputy is mainly responsible for thinking, grasping development strategies and other major issues. The deputy often takes on some specific tasks.
, complex transactional work.
The deputy must have a positive attitude and cooperate with the principal with a positive attitude. He must sometimes sacrifice his own interests appropriately. He must not overstep his authority and compete with his superiors for credit and reputation.
Of course, the deputy's biggest natural enemy is to focus solely on "righting things up" and fight openly and covertly with his superiors, causing subordinates to fall in line or even be kicked out.
Don't think that your deputy is just a follower and his work is of no value, so you should nod and bow down to your boss at every turn.
Sometimes the boss makes mistakes or thinks poorly. It is appropriate to keep consistent with the principal in terms of ideas and other aspects. However, when it comes to some specific details and principled issues, the deputy must know how to put himself in others' shoes and put forward his own suggestions and opinions in a timely manner. If
If you just nod your head and say yes to your boss, you will be seen as someone who is incapable or ambitious.
To be an excellent deputy, you must be able to listen to criticism from others, and it is important to be able to admit mistakes. Even if things are calm for a certain period of time, the decision-making is the fault of the boss, and the operation is the employee's business, the deputy can stand by and watch, but in that case he will have to
You will not feel the pressure of work and will easily lose the ability to make objective judgments. Therefore, as a deputy, you must adapt to changes in the competitive environment, dare to take on necessary responsibilities, accumulate experience, and summarize gains and losses in a timely manner. In addition, the deputy must deal with both superiors and subordinates.
, because the management process will definitely touch the personalities and interests of some people, the deputy should think about the boss, and should not be afraid of offending people, so that various management measures can be implemented smoothly. The deputy should become a discussant, listener, and adjuster, and work with the boss.
Build a bridge of communication with subordinates, resolve many conflicts, and achieve a tacit understanding of teamwork.
I used to be a deputy, but I felt that I was not as qualified as Mayor Wu. Thinking about it now, I still had a lot of problems at that time, such as reporting work beyond the next level, showing off my talents too much, etc.
Therefore, I feel very lucky now. It seems that it was a very wise choice for me to propose him as my deputy.
The next morning, the heads of several departments that participated in the inspection came to my office. However, I deliberately delayed meeting them until I was about to get off work at noon.
As soon as these people came to my office, Mayor Wu called me, "Those companies have all signed contracts. Mayor Feng, do you still want to check?"
I was immediately overjoyed, but I tried my best to stay calm, "Of course. Otherwise, what would we call this? Isn't that making fun of this Standing Committee? Okay, I will assign work to them right away."
He smiled and said: "I understand."
Then I had a brief conversation with the responsible persons. I said to them: "This is just a routine inspection. We should still strongly support our local private enterprises. Do you understand what I mean?"
They were all startled at first, but then they all started laughing.
Then I called Secretary Rong and said, "They have all signed the contract. I have already informed the heads of several departments, and the next step is just a routine inspection."
She said: "Okay. This drama was well performed. I will ask the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission to withdraw."
In fact, I know that although this play is of a performance nature, the way it is performed can be changed at any time according to the development of the actual situation. Now that I think about it, the legal persons of those companies are really stupid. They actually tried to cooperate with
The municipal party committee and the city government are competing against each other. In the final analysis, these people are motivated by their own greed. They have forgotten one thing: any enterprise or individual is very weak in the face of the powerful state machinery. Now we have not resorted to the last resort and they have already withered.
.Obviously, it was strong pressure that forced them to give in.
The subsequent demolition work went very smoothly. Later, Secretary Rong thought that these private enterprises had a certain influence in the local area, so he specifically hinted to me to let them participate in the demolition project, and also hinted that I would invite them to bid for future projects.
We will try our best to take care of them without violating our principles.
This is actually called slapping them in the face and then rewarding them with a lollipop, or a carrot and a stick. This is indeed a very good idea, which will completely win over these local enterprises.
It will definitely play a very important role in the future economic development of our Shangjiang City, and for now, this approach can also make our Shangjiang City more stable.
Looking back from now on, I have to admit that Secretary Rong is much smarter than the previous Secretary Chen. Her application of many management knowledge is so flexible that she can almost master it at the fingertips.
For me, I think the biggest gain is that I learned more things.
Therefore, I respect Secretary Rong even more in my heart. This respect is completely based on her personal ability and charm.
At work, some troublesome things are like knots on a thread. Once the knot is untied, the thread becomes smooth. Even if the thread is in a mess, it will
It's easier to get out of it.
From this, I can fully believe that in the following urban construction, after the demolition work goes smoothly, everything for us will go very smoothly. Moreover, after solving this matter, I found that my work suddenly became much easier.
On the one hand, after this knot was untied, other things became simpler and easier; on the other hand, the worry in my heart no longer existed.
During this period, Tanaka Kazuo specially invited me to a meal, but this time he was not the only one who attended the meal, but also Li Wenwu, the Chinese representative of their company. The theme of their treat was very simple, which was to thank the city government for its support of this company.
Strong support from enterprises.
I was very happy to attend their banquet, because the purpose of our dinner together was not only to eat and drink, but also to let me understand what other requirements the company has for the government. In front of such a company, the functions of the government
In fact, there is only one, and that is service.
Mayor Wu and the secretary-general of our municipal government office went to attend the dinner today.
At the beginning of the banquet, we had some communication with each other, and Tanaka also talked about some of his thoughts, and I gave simple answers one by one. In fact, the questions he raised were not big things.
What I am most concerned about now is the product sales of this company. Tanaka introduced their current sales channels and publicity plans to me in detail, and I was quite satisfied after listening to it. At this time, I felt that my worries were unfounded.
Large international automobile manufacturing companies like this have unique brand advantages in product sales.
Later, I raised a glass to Kazuo Tanaka and said, "Mr. Tanaka, I hope that our products will be widely recognized and welcomed by consumers."
There is a wall-mounted TV in this private room. The sound is turned very low, but from where I sit, I can just see the TV screen and the text on the screen. At this time, the TV is playing news, and the content of the news is Chinese and Japanese.
The most sensitive issue among them is the Diaoyu Islands.
I have always felt that Japan is a bit unreasonable on this issue. After World War II, the Diaoyu Islands were clearly placed under China's territory. I really don't understand why Japan thinks that the island is theirs. Even the United States is not convinced on this issue.
Nor did he say a word of justice.
Tanaka noticed where my eyes were going and asked me: "Mayor Feng, there is one thing I don't quite understand. Why do you, China, think that the Senkaku Islands are yours?"
I almost spit out the contents of my mouth, "Mr. Tanaka, I was just about to ask you this question. After World War II, the Yalta Agreement clearly stipulated that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China's territory. Why do you always keep talking about this issue?
Are you still entangled?"
Tanaka shook his head and said: "The Senkaku Islands were discovered by us Japanese. They were discovered by us Japanese in your country during the Ming Dynasty, and they have always been regarded by us Japanese as our territory. The Yalta Agreement after World War II
》Although it talked about assigning this fishing island to China, the Kuomintang government at the time did not declare sovereignty over it, so this island has always been under the jurisdiction of the United States. When China and Japan established diplomatic relations in 1972, your country also
Not a word was mentioned about this island. In 1971, the United States handed over the Senkaku Islands to our Japanese management. These things are very clear. I think China is a little indifferent on this matter.
Be reasonable."
In fact, after we talked about some issues between China and Japan last time, I paid great attention to it and felt that it was meaningless for me to talk to him about such issues. But now I had to speak, and I also realized that
At this point: whenever Chinese and Japanese are together, these topics are likely to be raised.
I said: "From a global perspective, each of our countries should abide by a commonly recognized legal document. The Yalta Agreement is a legal document formulated by the victorious powers after World War II that requires all countries to abide by it. This
It is an indisputable fact. Since it is factual, then what you just mentioned has no meaning. And I do not agree with what you said that the Japanese discovered the Diaoyu Islands in the Ming Dynasty.
, and as far as I know, we Chinese should have discovered the Diaoyu Islands nearly eighty years earlier than you. In the Ming Dynasty of our country, there was a man named Shen Fu, who mentioned the Diaoyu Islands in his "Six Chapters of a Floating Life".
In his article, he clearly called this island Diaoyutai. The time when he recorded this incident was 1808. According to your Japanese legends, it was in 1808.
The Diaoyu Islands were only discovered in 1986. Mr. Tanaka, am I right?"
He looked at me, "Really?"
I smiled and said: "If Mr. Tanaka doesn't believe it, then please go back and check the relevant information. Mr. Tanaka, according to the provisions of international law, whoever discovers the land first will own it. Since we are Chinese
The Diaoyu Islands were the first to be discovered, and based on the content of the subsequent Yalta Agreement, I think there is no need for us to discuss this issue."
But he shook his head and said: "I think this issue is a public case that neither side can convince the other side. In the hearts of us Japanese, the Senkaku Islands belong to our Japanese territory. You Chinese may not understand this. We Japanese
People don’t understand why China has such a vast land, so why does it have to fight with Japan for the ownership of that small island?”
I said calmly: "Our China is indeed vast and rich in resources, but not an inch of land is redundant. Territory is a matter of a country's sovereignty and its dignity. Mr. Tanaka, I didn't expect you to say such a thing just now. I
It’s a pity.”
At this time, Mayor Wu hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Mr. Tanaka, Mayor Feng, we'd better invite the leaders of the two countries to talk about this issue. Haha! Come, let's drink."
Tanaka immediately laughed, "Mayor Wu is right. Mayor Feng, the two of us made the same mistake as last time again today. Mayor Feng, come on, let's drink. What do you Chinese say?"
Don’t talk about state affairs. Haha!”
I suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but I finally saw something clearly: the consciousness of a small country in the people of Japan was very obvious in Tanaka's body. This also made me realize how terrible the country of Japan is.
, the citizens of this country have never given up the idea of starting a war again.
Not long ago, I saw an expert saying this in a magazine: The Japanese talk about Bushido and have developed a martial spirit of practicing martial arts and swords since ancient times. At the same time, they also worship the strong and submit to the strong. It has become a national instinct.
Today, the Japanese still adhere to the samurai character. Therefore, they would rather submit to the United States, which uses atoms against them, but look down on China, which repays evil with kindness and does not ask for compensation.
There are also nuclear weapons, but the Japanese are afraid of Russia, not China. Because China never dares to be too tough. Confucianism talks about convincing people with virtue and likes to use kindness to show kindness and seek peace. The Japanese are not afraid of China, just like wolves are not afraid of
Sheep, this is just like China is not afraid of being defeated by India.
The expert finally said something: Many of us always believe that the Japanese do not have the courage to take the lead in going to war, which reminds us that China also made the same misjudgment before the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894.
But this is really not a problem that people at my level should think about. It is useless to think about it. I prefer to believe that the leaders of our country are wise enough to solve such problems.
I have to try to avoid this topic when I am with this Japanese person in the future. After all, we are engaged in economic cooperation. I am warning myself in my mind.
And just that night, after attending Kazuo Tanaka's dinner party, I returned to my residence and just finished taking a shower, I received a call from Ruan Jie. She said to me: "I went to see Zhenzhen tonight...
.... I still hesitated about this matter later, she is my sister after all. So this matter has been postponed until today before I made up my mind."
I said: "It's okay. I didn't plan for you to go find her, I just wanted you to know about it."
She said softly: "I know, but I have been feeling a little uneasy in my heart. I went to ask her today, and she seemed to be very unhappy. Mayor Feng, I think so, why don't you let her leave your restaurant?
, with her character, I'm worried that she will do something bad to you in the future."
I said, "No need. Let her do it for another six months and see how it goes. What do you think?"
She sighed and said: "Thank you. You are such a kind-hearted person. I hope Zhenzhen can know how to be grateful. Oh!"
I smiled and said: "Then there's no need. Ruan Jie, how are you doing recently? Is he still looking for you now?"
She answered me: "He hasn't come to see me recently. But I'm a little surprised because I know him very well, unless he has a new way to find money recently."
I said: "I think you can't agree to any of his conditions anyway. You are already divorced, and the property between you was very clearly divided at the beginning. Now once you open this gap, the problems will become worse."
There are more and more people like this. If you always pin your hopes on his career success, it is very unrealistic."
She said: "Yeah."
Her voice was very gentle, which suddenly made me feel a warm feeling in my heart. I said, "I'm coming back this weekend. Let's find a place to have a meal together then."
She said: "Well, I miss you a little."
That night, we talked on the phone for a long time, and we ended the call when the phone became a little hot.
But what I didn't expect was that she called me again the next night, and her voice on the phone was extremely panicked, "My child is missing..."
