Ye Shaofeng has not been idle in the past two days. He took several brothers from Longtang to the mines in Guanyang, mainly to collect information. He came here to get a few undercover agents to learn about their main mines. If the time is right, Ye Shaofeng will cause some trouble for Guanyang's coal mines.
Know yourself and the enemy, and fight a hundred battles without danger. This has always been the combat policy of Longtang led by Ye Shaofeng. When the enemy is in front of you, you must first establish your own position, and then have a full understanding of the enemy and know his weaknesses.
When facing an enemy, no matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as you do three things well, you will definitely win.
First, you must have the determination to defeat your opponent. Second, you must first stabilize the situation and control it within a range that is powerful for you. Third, you must find the enemy's flaws.
A strong enemy will always have its own weaknesses. As long as you can know the opponent's weaknesses and defend your own weaknesses, you can start a confrontation with your opponent.
Now that I have just arrived in Xishan Province, everything must be considered in the long term. The important tasks now are to do preliminary stabilization and investigation work.
As for the task of investigating the information about the Guanyang forces, Ye Shaofeng did not tell anyone that he and several brothers from Longtang did all this, because this kind of thing needs to be kept extremely confidential, and the more people who know it, the more The more, the more dangerous it will be for the undercover agents sent out.
After several days of hard work, four brothers have sneaked into the enemy's mine and become absentee workers. During their work as miners, they would draw the map lines in the mine and mix with the mine workers here. The grassroots should understand the true situation of their Guanyang forces and see how many there are there. Among these workers, how many are armed militants who can come out with machetes or AK47s at any time to fight against Longtang.
After successfully placing several undercover agents at the grassroots level in the mining area, Ye Shaofeng also started his own actions, preparing to contact the officials here. Now is the stage of starting the layout. The first step is to get familiar with the officials in Tongzhou City.
Of course, Ye Shaofeng does not need to hold an office. After all, he has been a high-ranking official in several provinces and has many connections in the officialdom. He knows a lot of provincial and ministerial-level cadres.
Friends in the officialdom gave him layer-by-layer introductions, and finally, he was able to get in touch with the mayor of Tongzhou City.
In Tongzhou City, a place where natural resources and coal mines are the main means of business, the role of the mayor does not play a big role. Here, we cannot engage in real estate because the pollution is serious, so we cannot build factories because there are no buildings everywhere, and even more It is impossible to engage in tourism or have its own agricultural projects.
The government is useless. Although there are no projects that generate money, the government is very rich. Why is it rich? Of course, the taxes they collect every year are very large.
Those large coal mines are managed by the National Resources and Mining Bureau of your country. Most of the taxes paid are directly paid to the national treasury. The share received by the city government is very small. However, they still have a lot here. Private coal mines.
This is not under the jurisdiction of the National Mining Bureau, and the people above do not know it. Therefore, the taxes paid by these small and medium-sized private coal mines are the responsibility of the city and their municipal governments. It is equivalent to the government being supported by these small and medium-sized coal mines. .
However, whether it is a medium-sized coal mine or a small coal mine, they have to see whether the large coal mines are available to them. Many of the hills are in the hands of the owners of the large coal mines. If you want to build a hill, open one. As for private coal mines, it would be shameful for them to agree to sell you one or two coal mines. Otherwise, there would be no hope of making a living here.
Therefore, these small and medium-sized coal mine bosses are more obedient to those large coal mine bosses and the National Mining Administration, but have no regard for the municipal government. After all, they are the gods of wealth of the municipal government, the officials of the municipal government and the civil servants. Food, drink, toilets, sleep, and various social services and guarantees in this area all depend on their tax dollars.
Therefore, the Tongzhou Municipal Government has very little status here. The boss of a medium-sized coal mine can show off his power in front of the mayor, and the mayor can only endure it and dare not offend others.
Through connections, Ye Shaofeng finally managed to get in touch with Wang Jianjiang, the mayor of Tongzhou City.
This Wang Jianjiang is more or less related to Ye Shaofeng. He once served in a prefecture-level city in Northeast Heilong Province, and was later transferred to the Heilong Provincial Party Committee Office. However, this was before Ye Shaofeng went to Heilong Province.
After Ye Shaofeng went to Heilong Province, this guy had been transferred to the Xishan Provincial Committee. Later, he was assigned to Tongzhou City as the deputy mayor. He just became a full-time official this year.
Although Wang Jianjiang has no status here, he always feels that his official career is bright, and he can't even imagine that he was promoted so quickly.
But it has been almost a year. After becoming a full-time employee, I have never received any attention from my superiors. I have no assignments and few opportunities to talk to him.
In Tongzhou City, there is no place for your mayor to do anything. Here, you can't do anything, including attracting investment, building civil engineering, and developing projects. This is all nonsense.
Because there are only coal mines here, you can only sit here, stretch out your hands, and wait for the coal mine boss to give you money to spend.
The more this kind of place is, the more difficult it is to get ahead and achieve little.
For a businessman, it is a good thing to be able to make money steadily, but for an official, if you want to climb up, just taking money will not work. This is the money for developing natural resources, and more taxes will be collected. , that’s not your skill. If you don’t collect enough taxes, that’s your dereliction of duty.
Moreover, no matter how much you collect in taxes, you deserve it. In a place like this, it is difficult to achieve any decent results.
In a place like this, it is better to be assigned to a poor area. In such a poor area, if you just throw some money and build a road, you will be taken seriously by the superiors immediately and you will be given extra points. But here, you What can this mayor do?
After a year of work, Wang Jianjiang felt that his political future had ended here, and it would be even harder to return to the province than to reach heaven.
When Wang Jianjiang was transferred from the province to Tongzhou City, he was ecstatic, thinking that he could get real power. However, now he realizes that there is no real power here at all, let alone him, together with the old municipal party secretary of Zhou City. , and nothing has been done for so many years.
To use the words of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, when you come here, don’t expect to do anything outstanding. As long as you don’t make any mistakes, thank God. This is a quagmire. It’s okay to struggle to survive, but you want to jump out of it. , that’s just a fool’s dream…
