We had a long meal and talked about a lot of things. Then I suddenly remembered Fang's incident, so I took the opportunity to ask her, "Sister, what happened to Fang? How did he get raped?"
Where are you arranged to be? You have been promoted half a rank, but you don’t have much real power. If it is for transition or to lay down for training, then you must at least arrange a seat on the Standing Committee?"
But she shook her head and said: "I don't know much about this matter. His arrangement was suggested to me by the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee General Office. Of course I understood that it was Secretary Fang's intention, so I immediately followed it."
I asked her tentatively: "Is it related to this illegal fund-raising case?"
She nodded, "Maybe. But I learned some things from the side. Feng Xiao, don't you go out and tell anyone about this matter?"
I hurriedly said: "Sister, don't you still trust me?"
She smiled and said: "Of course I trust you. But this matter involves Secretary Fang after all, so I have to remind you. From what I understand, the situation is like this. Secretary Tang has nothing to do with the fund-raising case itself.
But someone told me that he did something that made Secretary Fang very unhappy. When the Provincial Party Committee was preparing to investigate this illegal fund-raising case, he secretly informed Director Chen of the Department of Justice.
News. The result almost made Secretary Fang very passive."
I was very surprised, "What is the relationship between Secretary Tang and Lao Chen? Is he worth taking such a big risk for him?"
She said: "Director Chen used to be the mayor of Governor Wang's secret city, and Xiao Tang was promoted from Gaolou Municipal Government to the provincial government by Director Chen. After Secretary Fang arrived in our Jiangnan Province, he accidentally saw a letter written by Xiao Tang.
After reading an article, I felt that this person’s writing style was very good, so after inspection, I made him his secretary, so Xiao Tang did this out of gratitude.” [
I said: "So that's it."
She sighed and said: "So, although Secretary Fang was very angry about this matter, he thought that Xiao Tang had been with him for so long and was indeed very talented, not to mention that he did this to repay his kindness. Secretary Fang is
He values friendship the most, so we compromised and dealt with him this way. But this matter is just a rumor, I don’t know if it is true or not."
I thought to myself: You are the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and the rumors you heard are probably true, and only in this way can we explain the reason why Xiao Tang was arranged like that.
Then I asked her another question, "Sister, will many cadres be punished in this illegal fund-raising case? Also, I heard that Lao Chen is being investigated. Is there such a thing?"
She smiled and said: "You are quite well informed."
In fact, what I am most concerned about is the situation of Secretary Chen. Anyway, I had a friendship with him, and he also helped me a lot. The emotions between people are sometimes unclear.
If you don’t understand, it’s hard to define between love and hate.
It is precisely because of this that there has been so much love, hate, and grievances from ancient times to the present.
Of course, regarding the illegal fund-raising case, I also want to know the general situation. After all, Secretary Rong and I played a role in this matter. So how much impact did this matter have on our Jiangnan Province? I do also
I really want to know. In addition, I also want to understand the way Secretary Fang handles this matter from the current situation.
From Secretary Tang’s affairs, I can feel Secretary Fang’s skill and style in handling things. This is not only an opportunity to learn, but also a good opportunity to further understand the leadership style.
As a subordinate, you must fully understand the leader's personality and way of thinking. This is a must, unless a person does not want to make progress. As for details such as the leader's emotions, that is something that people around him need to pay attention to.
I have never seriously thought about such issues before, but it is different now. On the one hand, I already have some political experience and have gradually become familiar with some rules and tricks in officialdom. On the other hand, now I have embarked on a career path
After taking this path, it is no longer possible to go back to the previous career. And to be honest, now I am slowly falling in love with everything now. After all, power is a very tempting thing, and it can make people feel better.
To achieve self-worth. So, in this case, you should continue on this road.
What is the value of life? Everyone will give their own different answers. As for me now, continuing on this road and getting better and better is what I think is the embodiment of my own value.
Regarding money, I have always felt that this is not the most important thing to me. I can invest and make money, but that is not my main purpose. On the one hand, through investment, I can keep track of the subtle changes in our country's economic situation, and
Overall trend, this is also a necessity for my current position. On the other hand, I can also reflect my economic capabilities. In fact, for people like me, spending money is no longer fun.
, and the process of making money is the happiest thing. To me, money is just like a vehicle such as a car. It is just a tool. I can’t do it without it. It is more convenient to have it, that’s all.
Yes, the purpose of my investment and making money is to pave a way out for myself. Now I have a deep and real feeling about how risky it is in officialdom. If a person hangs around in this field, he might be out of business one day.
Question. Duanmuxiong in the past, Yang Shuguang and Secretary Chen later, they are all living examples.
As the saying goes, people who worry about the future will have worries about the near future. Therefore, I must always leave a way out for myself. One thing I know very well is that I do have many problems, and these problems in myself
, that’s fine if you don’t look into it further, but once the higher-ups get serious, it’s not impossible to be dismissed from office.
It's not that I want to make those mistakes, but I am in a world where I can't help myself. I believe that my situation is good in the officialdom, because I will always be vigilant about the use of power and will never violate the bottom line. I am cautious.
, walking on thin ice, this was my style in the past, and in the future, no matter what position I get, I will still act in this style.[
At this time, when I asked about Lin Yu, she smiled and said to me: "You are quite well informed."
I said, "I'm not very well-informed. Secretary Rong told me this matter. Sister, there are some things that it's not convenient for me to ask you on the phone, but I do want to know some things."
She smiled and said: "Definitely, because this matter was triggered by your Shangjiang City."
I thought to myself: It's not just that. But it was impossible for me to tell her what I was thinking, "Yeah, actually I don't want this incident to have too big an impact. Because the greater the impact, the greater the impact on us in the future."
The city will have a greater impact on me personally. After all, this is an offending thing."
She said: "This matter is now obvious. In order to maintain the stability of our Jiangnan Province, Secretary Fang has suppressed this matter to the minimum scope. The most important thing in handling this matter now is not to cause too much harm to the people."
As long as the emotions of the people are stable, the situation can be easily controlled. The problem of cadres can be easily handled through organization and discipline."
I deeply agree. In the final analysis, this is a matter of life. The provincial party committee has absolute control over the future of cadres, so the issue of cadres is not a problem at all. But the common people are different. They consider their personal interests.
Organizational power has little effect on them.
I immediately asked her: "Sister, I heard a saying that this time the provincial government asked us to register the fund-raising status of cadres and the masses? Some people said that those cadres with questionable sources of funds may not dare to register. In this case
, the money lost by the people will be protected. Isn’t that right?”
She looked at me in surprise, "Oh? This is the first time I have heard such a statement. But it seems to make sense. Well, I think it should be like this. This move is very powerful. Secretary Fang is really smart.
Super, this is such a wonderful way to handle this matter. In this way, some people will be able to speak out, and they will not dare to blame the provincial party committee and the provincial government. They will have to suffer the consequences themselves. But in this way,
Those people will hate those people in the fund-raising company. Therefore, the people who will be dealt with this time can only be limited to officials who have close relations with that fund-raising company. The reason why Director Chen is under investigation is logical. This
It is for the best that this matter has developed so far. At least Governor Wang's power will be weakened as a result, and the balanced relationship between Teacher Huang and him can be re-established. Feng Xiao, sister, here's to you, this matter is
It has developed to what it is now under your influence, and in the end, I did Teacher Huang such a big favor."
I clinked glasses with her and said, "Sister, I really meant it. But now it seems that from every angle, I did the right thing."
She nodded, "There is one more thing. You must find a way not to cause any losses to your laid-off workers in Shangjiang. Protect their interests first, then consider ordinary citizens, and finally consider the issue of cadres. As a city official
Chairman, you need to gain greater public support. This is very important for your future development."
In fact, I had thought of this a long time ago. I nodded and said, "Sister, I understand. In fact, I have to do this both in public and private matters."
This time I got a definite message from Lin Yu, that is, Jiangnan's officialdom will not undergo major fluctuations due to illegal fund-raising. This also shows that even Secretary Fang must start from a stable position.
Let’s put it in perspective. In other words, what I said in his office that time was not a big problem, because I also repeatedly mentioned that stability was the most important thing.
I suddenly remembered that time we invited Secretary Fang to dinner in Jiang City, and the poem he recited when he first arrived outside Nanyuan Restaurant. Only now did I suddenly understand his mood at that time.
Shangjiang City is an inland city with a backward economy and conservative thinking. The poem that Secretary Fang recited was written by Wang Anshi when he encountered difficulties in the reform, which also explains the frustration in Secretary Fang's heart now.
So I immediately thought that under such circumstances, we should vigorously advance the reform of Shangjiang City, and we must strive to bring about huge changes in Shangjiang City in the shortest time. In this way, not only can Secretary Fang see the reform
The huge results it has brought can also make our Shangjiang City a benchmark for reform in the province. Of course, this will definitely be of great benefit to Secretary Rong and I’s personal futures.
Therefore, after returning to Shangjiang, I immediately went to see Secretary Rong.
I first talked about the matter of illegal fund-raising. I said to her: "Secretary Rong, I have an idea. We must find a way not to cause any loss to the fund-raising funds of laid-off workers. If the province freezes the assets of that company,
If there is a gap in the funds allocated to us in the future, we must also find ways to prevent laid-off workers from suffering losses."
What I said was actually very clear. I just hope she will approve us using city finance to subsidize the losses of laid-off workers.
She said: "Let's wait until the money from the province is allocated. Even if we do what you said, we can only use other methods, such as special hardship subsidies, otherwise it will easily cause social conflicts.
We do need to pay attention to the issue of laid-off workers, but we cannot give them money in a way that subsidizes their losses in raising funds. In any case, raising funds is an investment method, and it is inevitable that there are risks, so we cannot open this opportunity casually."
What she said makes sense, and this is the best solution.
I nodded and said, "That's what I mean. There's one more thing. Secretary Rong, do you still remember the poem by Wang Anshi that Secretary Fang recited when we invited him to dinner?"
She nodded, "I remember." Then she looked at me in surprise, "Mayor Feng, why did you suddenly remember this matter?"
Then I told her the true meaning of Wang Anshi's poem, "I couldn't explain it so clearly at the time because I wasn't sure whether my understanding was accurate. But recently I have been thinking about our Jiangnan Province.
The reform in Shangjiang City is indeed much more difficult than in coastal areas, and the most important one is the conceptual problem. And so many state-owned enterprises in Shangjiang City are now facing urban transformation. Therefore, if we can further speed up the reform, let us as soon as possible
If the results of the reform are shown, Secretary Fang will pay more attention to us. Secretary Rong, what do you think?"
She pondered and said: "Actually, I hope so too. But we still have to consider the risks. If we invest too quickly, we may not only face financial risks, but also cause prices to rise due to rapid investment. Prices have risen.
The people will have opinions about us, and we must consider these."
I suddenly laughed in my heart: Maybe she has been reading some books on economics recently, but her understanding of economics is only limited to theory. From the perspective of economic theory, rapid investment in a place in the short term will inevitably lead to
There is nothing wrong with the theory of stimulating domestic demand, thereby causing price increases, but it depends on the location of the region and people's consumption habits.
Of course, I couldn't tell her directly that what she said was incorrect. I said: "Secretary Rong, please rest assured that I will pay attention to the risks involved in investment. In fact, the risks of investment are ultimately a matter of return. We can
Calculate the principal and interest of the capital we invested, adjust the starting price of the land, and then let Yu Yong and others find ways to raise our housing prices. This is not difficult, because we are close to the provincial capital and our geographical location has a huge advantage. There are also
, our next step is to plan a high-end villa community to build the urban quality of Shangjiang City, and at the same time cultivate our business as soon as possible through the role of the government. In this way, our land prices will naturally increase.
Then our fiscal revenue will increase significantly, and the risk of capital investment will become smaller."
She nodded and said: "I feel more relieved after hearing what you said. The problem is that your municipal government must come up with a reasonable plan and make a plan as soon as possible. Moreover, you must control the investment risks at all times."
I then added: "Rapid investment may stimulate domestic demand and cause price increases, that's for sure. However, we can also control the extent of price increases. First, the government's leverage adjustment effect is very large.
Now we are preparing to build a large-scale cold storage. When the price of vegetables, fruits, and meat is at its lowest, we will store it in the cold storage. When prices rise, these things can play a role in regulating prices. Second, through our
Support for commerce, thereby accelerating and increasing the speed and quantity of circulation, in order to regulate prices. Third, our Shangjiang is close to the provincial capital, and the provincial capital has a huge market, which also has a great impact on us in alleviating the pressure of rising prices.
The role of."
She immediately laughed, "Mayor Feng, I didn't expect that you, a medical student, have such in-depth research on economics. Great, Mayor Feng, your municipal government should boldly go ahead and do it. We will try to complete it within this year."
All major construction projects in the city and construction along both sides of the river have also been completed."
I was very happy, and then asked another question, "Secretary Rong, regarding our planned project to build a five-star hotel on Binjiang Road, so far, our investment promotion methods have not had any effect.
Nowadays, there are no businesses with real investment intention. I have carefully analyzed this matter, and I think there may be two reasons: first, investors have no confidence in the returns of our hotels in Shangjiang City; second, we
The policy for attracting investment is not generous enough. Therefore, we may have to make some adjustments to the policy for attracting investment, mainly due to tax issues, and the land price issue for this project should be handled flexibly."
She frowned and said: "The tax problem is easy to solve, but how to adjust the land price? Now we must carry out land bidding, auction and listing. The land is under the direct management of the land department, so we can't interfere too much?"
I said: "You are right. But recently I have studied some experiences in other places. We can use transfer payments. For example, we reach an agreement with investors first, negotiate the land price, and then let them follow normal procedures.
If we go to a land auction, we can pay the higher part of the price through government fiscal transfer. In fact, the money for land sales still belongs to the government, it is just one more procedure. Of course, if we look purely from the perspective of government revenue, we must have
However, once the five-star hotel starts construction there, the surrounding land prices will inevitably rise rapidly and significantly. Therefore, from a long-term and overall perspective, we are still very cost-effective."
She smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, we are so lucky to have a mayor like you in Shangjiang City. Okay, you can do it according to your own ideas. Our municipal party committee will definitely support your work."
For the city government, it is most important to get her strong support, but as the mayor, I must follow the rules. I smiled and thanked her, "Secretary Rong, let's work out a new investment policy first.
Then we will submit it to you for approval. After you agree, we will release it to the outside world."
She nodded, "This matter must be studied by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. After all, it is a policy issue. It cannot be decided by you and me."
Her opinion is right. Policies are related to the major policies of a place, and the major policies of a place have a great impact on economic development. Therefore, it is necessary for issues like this to be studied by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
Next, our municipal government quickly conducted a special study on investment policies, and introduced new policies specifically for five-star hotel projects. The Municipal Party Committee quickly convened a standing committee. After the study was approved, the government issued a report to the society.
release.
In fact, I also proposed a new plan at the municipal government executive meeting: If there is no external investment intention for the five-star hotel project, let the company Yu Yong is responsible for invest in this project and enjoy the same new preferential policies.
In short, the point is that we must complete the city's large-scale project construction issues as soon as possible through various channels and methods.
For this reason, I specially called Yu Yong to my office to discuss the matter with him. At the same time, I also invited Secretary Qian of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor Lao Wu.
To be precise, I am not discussing with them whether this matter requires investment, but how to carry out capital operations if the company needs to invest.
I know that Yu Yong’s current job is also very difficult. The main problem is funds. Now he also mentioned this issue, "Mayor Feng, we don’t need much funds for land. The investment for five-star hotels is mainly decoration and equipment.
According to the government's plan, the total investment for this project is at least 500 million, and it is really difficult for our company to come up with this money."
I nodded, "I know you are in trouble. Secretary Qian, Lao Wu, do you have any good ideas for this?"
Secretary Qian said: "This is just a plan. Let's put it aside for now."
Mayor Wu knows me very well, and he fully understands my intention of calling them to study this matter today. He said: "Mayor Feng means that we must make a plan first and cannot rely entirely on outside investors. If we completely rely on outside investors
As for investors, it will waste a lot of time to arrange for Yu Yong and others to do this at short notice. The five-star hotel on Binjiang Road is the most important planning project. This project is very important for us to build the quality of Binjiang Road.
role. Therefore, we must find a way now. If we really cannot attract investment to build this project, we can start the construction of this project ourselves at any time."
I nodded, "Mayor Wu said it very well, that's what I meant. Secretary Rong already said at the last Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting that we must speed up construction this year and strive to complete all our key projects within this year.
The leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government attach great importance to our reform in Shangjiang City, and we must report our results to them as soon as possible."
Yu Yong said: "This project requires an investment of RMB 500 million, and it cannot be constructed in phases as before. Even through bank loans, we cannot get so much money at once."
I asked him: "How much sales output can your real estate projects achieve this year?"
He said: "About one billion. But we need to repay bank loans and funds to purchase new land for development. Now our company has also entered development projects in provincial cities, so funds are very tight. Even if we need
The funds allocated from real estate projects will only be around 100 million at most."
I nodded, "Well, if you really need to invest in this project by then, then the expansion of the real estate project will be put on hold for the time being. You are a state-owned enterprise, and making money is not the first purpose. You invested in this hotel project, although it looks like a loss on the books.
Yes, but this is only temporary. After the hotel completes the investment, it will increase in value, and it will also greatly increase the value of the land around the hotel. From a government perspective, you have also created huge wealth for our municipal finance.
Therefore, I think this account needs to be calculated from another perspective."
Yu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "That's true, anyway, the company belongs to the state, and you, the mayor, have the final say on how to settle the accounts."
We all laughed, and I said to him: "Now you state-owned enterprise bosses implement an annual salary system. In this way, your personal income will be reduced a lot in the past two years. After all, you will lose a large part of the performance commission. Are you right?
Are you heartbroken because of this?"
He hurriedly said: "How could it be? Money is something you don't take with you when you live or die. Why do I need so much money? Besides, I was doing the same thing before the annual salary system was implemented. Now I am very satisfied with this kind of treatment.
Already."
I sighed and said, "It would be great if you can think like this. The difficulties are temporary. After next year, the situation will be different. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yu."
He grinned and said: "Mayor Feng, I am satisfied with your words. That's fine, if the city government needs us to do that, we will do it."
I smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I had no choice but to think of this method. The functions of state-owned enterprises are like this, and it is necessary to make some sacrifices within a period of time. Yu Yong has done a very good job in the past two years.
If the policy allows, I should give you an annual salary of five million. But that is impossible. Being the boss of a state-owned enterprise mainly requires dedication."
Yu Yong smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, I just heard you say you would give me an annual salary of five million. I was so excited that I almost stood up. But then you said that was impossible, which made my heart go cold.
Half of it. Mayor Feng, if I didn’t lead you to stimulate people like this, I would have to hold you responsible if I had a heart attack."
Of course we knew he was joking, and we couldn't help laughing.
Secretary Qian and Mayor Wu have no objections to my idea just now. Of course, they are unlikely to have any objections unless they can come up with a better plan. Moreover, this matter is only a plan. If there is any external intervention,
If the company is willing to invest in that project, the plan will no longer exist.
Yu Yong stayed after the meeting. He looked at me carefully and said, "Mayor Feng, let me tell you something."
I said nonchalantly: "Just tell me. You can tell me anything at any time. Weren't you still joking with me just now? What's wrong now?"
He said: "This is not a work matter. Didn't you ask me to arrange for someone to provide us with cement last time?"
I immediately paid attention because he was talking about Yu Min's man, "What's wrong with this man? Stop hesitating and finish your sentence!"
He said: "Mayor Feng, you have misunderstood. There is no problem with his supply and the procedures are legal. However, the person who contacted us recently in their factory is not him. I was surprised, so I asked about the situation, and I
I heard that he had a car accident. I just wanted to ask you if you know about it?"
I was suddenly shocked, "Car accident? Is it true? Why didn't I know? Is the situation serious?"
He said: "I guess you don't know, because the person in charge of that factory was a little too much. They changed people but no leader came out to say hello to us. This is obviously an attempt to burn down the bridge. It is said that he was going to Jiangbei Province on the expressway.
There was a car accident on the road and my spine was fractured. I will probably spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Hey!"
I was immediately confused: Why didn’t Yu Min tell me this? Obviously, the incident happened when he went to Jiangbian Province to visit his wife and children. At this time, my heart suddenly became extremely uncomfortable: Yu Min
Our life is so miserable, as well as that of our child.
Yu Yong looked at me, "Mayor Feng, look, should we temporarily stop supplying goods to them?"
I looked at him and said, "Their supply procedures are legal and there is a contract between the two parties. Why don't you let them supply the goods? Aren't you causing trouble for yourself?"
My point is very clear: when you asked the other party to supply the goods, there must be some internal operations. If you do it now, it will easily cause trouble.
But he said disapprovingly: "It's very simple to make them stop supplying, just follow the contract. They have not fulfilled the quality stipulated in the contract and many of the details. We only need to randomly check their supply samples.
, we can find out the problem at any time. In addition, we can also delay the payment and drag him to death! They want to sue, okay? There are too many triangular debts now, and we are short of funds now."
I immediately understood what he meant. Today's manufacturers have some problems with the quality of their products, but under normal circumstances, Party A will not deliberately pursue them. As a building material,
Quality problems are common, as long as they do not affect the safety of the building in the future. But if you really want to be serious, the problems can be found at any time.
But I don’t want him to do that. That way of doing it is too simple and cannot solve the problem. I said: "Canceling the other party’s supply is a means, not the ultimate goal. As a company, they should be at least humanitarian and ensure that everything in the factory
Issues such as employee car accidents, medical expenses, and future living allowances should all be considered. Commissions from previous sales cannot be spared even by a penny."
He grinned and said: "Mayor Feng, I understand."
I looked at him and told him: "Don't cause trouble. There will be many big things for you to do in the future. Don't make problems with small things. Do you understand?"
One thing I completely believe is that Yu Yong is a very capable person, and he will definitely handle such matters very properly. However, I still have to remind him that this is my responsibility, and at the same time I am expressing to him that I feel sorry for him.
His expectations. And I can completely believe that with Yu Yong’s current status in the real estate development and construction industry in Shangjiang City, if he hints to other companies, the products of that cement factory will definitely be in Shangjiang City from now on.
disappear.
In the final analysis, the director of the cement factory was short-sighted. No need to guess, after Yu Min's man was injured, the director must have let one of his connections run this market. At present, Shangjiang City is the
In the period of rapid development of urban construction, construction sites are everywhere, and the consumption of building materials is astronomical, and the huge profits are enough to make a person greedy.
Later, Yu Yong instructed his subordinates to continuously spot-check the products of that company, and found some quality problems. He immediately sent a letter to the other party, not only implying that the other party would terminate the contract, but also would report to the Quality Supervision Bureau for further investigation.
Its products undergo random inspections and inspections.
It was common for the factory to face such things, and they thought it was Party A hinting at the payment of tribute, so the new sales manager sent a bank card to Yu Yong. Yu Yong cut the card in half with scissors on the spot.
He coldly said to the visitor: "Just because of this, I can let your boss go to jail. But I don't want to do things too badly. I can't be as unscrupulous as your boss."
The sales manager didn't understand what he meant, so he cautiously asked: What did Mr. Yu mean by this?
Yu Yong said calmly: I don't mean anything, your boss knows what it means.
Later, the manufacturer paid Yu Min's man a one-time commission of more than 300,000 yuan on the previous sales, and also gave him a one-time subsidy of 1 million as a guarantee for his future life. The director of this cement factory is indeed very good.
I don’t know how to be a human being, so I just want to solve this matter for 1.3 million. But I don’t want to make the matter too big, it’s always better to do it. And I believe that the future of this company will not be very good. As a company
The way the boss of the company handles things speaks for itself.
Of course, these were all things that happened later. That day, when Yu Yong told me that incident, I felt very sad. At the same time, I deeply sighed in my heart that God was so unfair to Yu Min.
