"So how can we sing the energy drama well? I think there are two key points. The first key point is mine construction. For a long time, we have ignored mining work. There are subjective reasons and objective reasons. The objective reason is the price system. The problem: In recent years, the price of mineral products has been too low. If you are not careful when setting up a mine, you will lose money. On the contrary, the profits of the processing link are very high, and the price has seriously deviated. So everyone is rushing to the processing link with high profits, leaving the construction of the mine aside. As a result, our mining conditions are becoming more and more difficult, and the equipment is getting older and older. Many state-owned coal mines and non-ferrous metal mines are still using the machinery and equipment in the early stages of mine construction. The mining methods are very primitive, the mining efficiency is extremely low, and the safety hazards are extremely high. Comrades, this is a big problem. I I believe that every cadre here is a major leading cadre and should go to the mines frequently and even go down to see the mines in person to see what the actual situation of our mining facilities is like. I visited several large coal mines some time ago and they even used animal power to pull matchmakers. Comrades, it has been 40 years since the liberation, and several years since the reform and opening up, but our state-owned coal mines are still stuck at this level of mining. How can this be done? The safety facilities are also very incomplete. I have also communicated with the person in charge of the coal mine. It’s not that they don’t. We attach great importance to production safety, but we really have no money to buy equipment or improve underground safety facilities. This is not possible. Sooner or later, there will be a big accident."
Ma He said, looking a little excited. He even knocked on the table lightly. This is also Ma He's habit. He did not realize at all that in today's symposium, he was not the "first chief".
“County Magistrate Ma, the price of charcoal and the price of non-ferrous metals are too low. It is not something we can decide.”
Below, a district committee secretary interrupted and said:
Ma He gave him a stern look. The district committee secretary quickly closed his mouth and looked a little embarrassed. Although it was a symposium, County Magistrate Ma was not talking at the moment. Why are you in such a hurry?
Yu Yan guessed that this person was Ma He's confidant. He had talked to Ma He a lot, so he didn't pay much attention to the occasion. If it were Yu Yan, he would never do such rude things.
"What Lao Qiu said is indeed a problem. But the price is low. We also have to produce. Production is just a loss. If we don't produce, we won't even have food to eat. Workers will be hungry. The key is how to reduce costs. Carbon media and non-ferrous metals are strategic materials now. The country has not yet implemented independent pricing, and the price is very strictly controlled. Our only feasible way is to make plans in the mine itself, strengthen internal management, and reduce mining costs. This is a major purpose."
Although Ma He glared at the district committee secretary, he confirmed his statement, which further verified Yu Yan's analysis just now.
"Then how to strengthen the internal management of mines? Many of our state-owned coal mines have existed for decades. The least ones have been established for more than ten years. They have many members and retirees. The burden is heavy. Moreover, there are also problems with the management sequence, which is very difficult to handle. I think that we should ignore all the state-owned coal mines that are directly under the management of the Mining Bureau. We can’t control them. We must focus on the state-owned coal mines run by our counties. How to do a good job in this area? I think we need to implement a joint-stock system pilot We need to introduce fresh blood. There are a lot of coal mines in our county. If all of them are taken over by the county, it will definitely not work. The county cannot come up with so much money. We can only introduce private funds to carry out shareholding transformation. Of course, this is just an idea. Collective Whether it works or not, I’ll ask everyone to express their opinions later.”
Having said this, Ma He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
Xia Li's face was expressionless, but his eyes fell on Yu Yan's face inadvertently.
Yu Yan nodded slightly to show that he understood what Xia Li meant.
This is still a dispute between state-owned and private enterprises. Although the previously revised three-year economic development plan of Taocheng County has been approved by the city, Ma He’s thinking has not changed at all. He still insists on private funds entering the mine. It is just a different formulation. In this case, today’s symposium cannot be taken lightly. Maybe Mahe is going to use this method to insist on implementing its own development strategy and resolutely take the lead in economic construction in its own hands without letting Xiali and the county party committee interfere.
But this is unacceptable to Xia Li
In any case, he has already intervened. If he is squeezed out by Ma He so cleverly, it will be too damaging to his prestige. This matter is no longer a simple issue of economic construction and has a tendency to evolve into a power struggle.
For Ma He, firmly grasping the initiative in economic construction is not only a need for power struggle, but also has many practical benefits. For officials, he will listen to whoever cares about his hat, but for ordinary cadres and businessmen, who cares about the money? Who is the boss? Ma He has these people, but they also have considerable resources.
There is no clear boundary between power and money, but they are complementary. Power can derive money, and money can also distort power. It depends on how the parties involved operate it. If it is operated properly, the future is boundless.
"The next step is the processing link. At this stage, the profit of this link is relatively high. Everyone is staring at it. It is no exaggeration to say that this can also be regarded as a cornucopia. We need to plan carefully how to use the high profits of this link for our county. Contributing to economic construction, my opinion is that this area can allow a hundred flowers to bloom, and a hundred schools of thought to contend. Anyone can come in, whether it is state-owned or private, as long as you have the capital and ability, we will not stop you, let it go, let a hundred flowers bloom, and the county's economy will become active."
Ma He said, raising his arms and waving them to show his determination.
"Ah, this is about the development of mineral resources. The second big issue is about housing reform. Housing reform is very important. It is an important aspect of the party's economic policy and is related to the vital interests of the people. Since the reform and opening up, we have been riding on the spring breeze of reform. We in Taocheng County Great progress has been made in all areas of economic construction. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are three of them. We have basically solved them. The lives of cadres and the masses are becoming increasingly prosperous. Clothes are also popular and colorful. As for this industry, it can only be said that half of it has been solved. National highways and provincial roads. Lines and county roads are all connected, but the road conditions are not good, the speed is not fast, and there are not many public buses. This requires great efforts to change. However, we will not discuss this issue today. We will discuss the issue of housing reform. This problem is far from solved and needs to be solved. It is extremely difficult to solve, far more difficult than solving the traffic problem. The success of the housing system reform is related to the stability of society and the prestige of the party committee and the government. As early as ten years ago, the supreme leader had already made the housing reform policy clear. Very clear and thorough ”
"The supreme leader said that we should consider a series of policies for building residential buildings and allocating houses in the city. Individual urban residents can buy houses or build their own houses. Not only new houses can be sold, but old houses can also be sold. They can pay in one lump sum or in installments. They can be paid off in ten or fifteen years. After the house is sold, the rent may need to be adjusted. The rent should be adjusted in conjunction with housing prices to make people feel that buying a house is cost-effective. The rent should be different for houses in different areas. If the rent increases in the future, subsidies should be provided to low-wage employees. These policies should be considered in conjunction. "
Ma He read the main contents of a speech given by the supreme leader on housing reform ten years ago without moving as a theoretical basis.
"According to this instruction from the Supreme Leader and combined with the spirit of the National Housing Reform Work Conference held not long ago, I think it is now time to vigorously promote housing reform in our county. The National Housing Reform Conference proposed that housing commercialization is the ultimate goal of the housing reform system. I think this will give us It has pointed out the direction. Housing reform must accelerate the pace and actively promote it to the market. The government must not only guide but also take the lead in setting an example.”
Ma He spoke impassionedly and looked uplifted
Yu Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly. From Ma He's speech, Yu Yan heard a strange smell.
Sure enough, Ma He then launched a surprising housing reform plan to sell public housing.
According to this plan, the county will sell public housing in various units of the county to cadres and workers in the near future at a price of 80 yuan to 150 yuan per square meter. It will not only sell the residence rights, but also the property rights. It will be a one-time buyout without installments. Payment: all cash transactions. According to Ma He’s calculations, selling public houses is expected to obtain more than 30 million funds within two or three years. This funds can be used to improve the conditions of the mines and build one or two non-ferrous metal deep processing plants of a certain scale. Further increase county fiscal revenue
After hearing this plan, Secretary Rao Yuyan, who was well-informed, was also dumbfounded.
Ma He really dares to think about it
Sure enough, as soon as Ma He finished speaking, there was a buzz in the conference room. Everyone was in high spirits and started talking.
However, upon closer inspection, those who were talking excitedly were all middle-level cadres. The county-level leaders were basically sitting upright, calm and did not discuss much. Only two or three people nearby communicated with each other through eye contact.
Yu Yan glanced at Xia Li and found that although Xia Li was also standing still, there was also a hint of excitement in his expression. Yu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that Xia Li didn't realize anything was wrong with this and just raised it to Ma He. There are some opinions on the part about private capital entering mine construction. I guess they are not really aware of the hidden dangers in it. They are just fighting for power.
As for selling public housing to raise funds, Xiali is expected to agree.
Seeing the other county leaders sitting upright, Yu Yan estimated that this matter was just Ma He's own idea. Perhaps he had a small-scale discussion with the county party committee leaders, but it should not have been discussed at the Standing Committee for the time being.
If it had been discussed at the Standing Committee or at the county magistrate's office meeting, it is impossible for the district committee secretaries not to have heard a little bit of the news. Moreover, if the Standing Committee was held first and then the symposium was held, the order would be reversed. It had already been discussed at the Standing Committee. And Why is it necessary to hold a symposium? Isn’t it intentional to create conflicts?
Ma He picked up the tea cup and drank water. He looked around at the cadres present. There was a look of satisfaction on his face. It can be seen from the reactions of the cadres that his plan is very popular.
"County Magistrate Ma..."
Secretary Qiu, who was rushing to speak just now, raised his hand again. Of course, he did not put his elbows on the table like a primary school student, but raised it high above his head. He seemed to be greeting Ma County after a long separation.
"Lao Qiu, tell me"
Ma He put down the water glass and nodded to Secretary Qiu very gently.
"County Magistrate Ma, leaders, let me say a few words first. It can be considered as an introduction. If I am wrong, I ask the leaders to criticize and correct me. First of all, I completely agree with Magistrate Ma's two plans. Our Taocheng is a county with large mineral resources. All kinds of charcoal, non-ferrous metals The reserves are very rich, and the development of mineral resource economy has become the pillar industry of the county's economy. I fully agree. This is also the task set for us by the province. Haha... County Magistrate Ma is right. The conditions in our mines are too difficult. The workers have to eat The living conditions are poor and the living conditions are even worse. There are many shacks in the mines. It is common for three generations to live under one roof. There are even cases of four generations living under one roof. We cannot continue like this. The working and living conditions of mine workers are so poor. They are so bad. How can we feel in the mood to engage in production? Price It's so low. Media charcoal costs 70 to 80 yuan per ton. If the output can't go up, how can we make a profit? Let alone profit. I'm afraid it will be a problem for mine workers to support their families, let alone paying taxes to the county to raise profits. The county still has to subsidize money. There is no way out to feed them and continue like this. County Magistrate Ma proposed to carry out joint-stock reform and inject fresh blood. I support it with both hands. It should have been done long ago. But here, I have a question..."
Secretary Qiu was very eloquent. He spoke in one sentence and quickly attracted everyone's attention. They all listened to his speech attentively. Some cadres had smiles on their lips and seemed to find them very interesting. It seems that Secretary Qiu is an activist. Many cadres are. If you know his character, how he makes noises, and how he likes to shoot,
Ma He nodded slightly and said, "You say."
“Does this policy apply to all mines? In addition to mines directly under the Bureau of Mines, are township coal mines treated equally with county-run coal mines and other funds can be allowed to enter for joint-stock reform?”
Secretary Qiu asked. The cadres, especially the district committee secretaries, straightened their backs one by one, waiting for Ma He's reply.
"I think it can be done everywhere. The effect of reforming one or two mines alone is not obvious and will not play a decisive role in promoting the economic development of the county. We can carry out the reform of several more mines and work together to better compare and continuously improve methods."
Ma He gave an affirmative answer without much hesitation.
