Zhao Junjie was a little at a loss: "Editor-in-Chief, I have reported this to you. What kind of publicity do you want to promote such a remote town? You also said at the time that the most important thing for the newspaper now is to raise income, and you cannot afford to pay more than 200,000.
Don’t even talk about the publicity fees. I came according to your request."
The clearer Zhao Junjie explained, the angrier the editor became: "You are still talking back to me! The situation has changed now, do you know! That Tianhuang Town in An County used to have a shitty publicity value! Now the provincial secretary.
We have already given instructions. This is not only a propaganda value, but also a news value! Who is our "Hangcheng Daily" for? Let me ask you."
Zhao Junjie said: "Those who buy our newspaper." The editor-in-chief poked Zhao Junjie on the head with his finger: "Our newspaper is said to be read by the citizens, but it is mainly meant for the leaders. In the final analysis, it is still for the leaders.
.If the provincial secretary or the secretary-general under him sees our newspaper and has no reaction at all about the provincial secretary’s instructions, then what value does our newspaper have? Do you understand?”
Zhao Junjie is not stupid: "Editor-in-chief, I understand." The editor-in-chief said: "Really understand?" Zhao Junjie: "I really understand." The editor-in-chief said: "I understand, why are you still standing here? Why don't you contact yours quickly?
Mayor, classmate, go for the interview right away." Zhao Junjie was a little embarrassed: "But the last time I asked him for 300,000, he hung up on me." The editor said: "He hung up on you, can't you call me again?
Huh?" Zhao Junjie: "Well, I'm a little embarrassed..."
The editor immediately interrupted him: "Excuse me? You get your salary from the newspaper every month. I'm sorry I didn't see you." Zhao Junjie knew that if he kept talking, the editor might let him go. In "Hangzhou"
Zhao Junjie has not yet joined the editorship of City Daily. Even if the editor-in-chief tells him to get out, there is nothing he can do.
Zhao Junjie immediately said: "Editor-in-Chief, I understand. I'll make a call right away."
On this morning, the county held a meeting to deploy the petition work during the "Two Sessions". The county party secretary and county magistrate all attended the meeting, and the town party secretary, town mayor, and National People's Congress Chairman were required to attend together. In the past two years,
, the above-mentioned people pay more and more attention to the * work during the "two sessions". The meetings that were originally hosted by the Political and Legal Committee, the Public Security Bureau, etc. have now been upgraded to hosted by the main leaders. It can be seen that the number and frequency of petitions are between these two
The number of years has increased sharply, and Huajing has no choice but to pass on the pressure to the lower levels.
County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu and County Changfang also sat on the rostrum. Under the rostrum were four team members, followed by the main leaders of the township. At the county-wide meeting, Xiao Zheng's position has also been
Quite forward.
During the meeting, Xiao Zheng also saw the secretaries sitting on the left side. There were no table cards in their seats, but everyone knew that they were the people around the leader. Li Haiyan was in this row.
After Xiao Zheng sat down, he saw "apprentice" Li Haiyan winking in his direction. Xiao Zheng also smiled at her.
The county and head officials also communicated the spirit of their superiors, and they have already made quite full demands. It is because everyone cannot do well in the township and the unit's * work. If a visit to Beijing occurs, who will be held accountable, etc.
During the meeting, Xiao Zheng went outside to smoke a cigarette, and Zhao Junjie suddenly called him. Xiao Zheng glanced at the phone and couldn't help but sneer. He basically knew the purpose of Zhao Junjie's call, but he still answered the phone.
"Hello, Mayor Xiao." Zhao Junjie said in a very polite tone, "Last time, didn't you say you wanted us to interview you about the 'Beautiful Countryside Construction' work in your town? Now our editor-in-chief has said that we can help you with publicity.
.”
Xiao Zheng said: "Xiao Zhao, didn't you say it's 300,000? Our town is financially tight now and we don't plan to spend such a large amount of money on publicity."
Xiao Zheng called Zhao Junjie from "old classmate" to "Xiao Zhao". Yes, Xiao Zheng was polite to him in the past. He always treated him sincerely as an "old classmate" and entertained him with good wine and food, but
This old classmate planned to take advantage of him at the critical moment. There was no other way, Xiao Zheng had already crossed Zhao Junjie off the list of people with whom he could maintain a good relationship.
According to Zhao Junjie's current identity, he can only be called "Xiao Zhao."
Zhao Junjie was stunned for a moment, but he had no choice but to say: "Now, we don't need any money, we can directly come to interview people and help with publicity. Mayor Xiao, when do you think I will come over?" Xiao Zheng said: "I'm sorry, I'm here recently.
I'm too busy. I have a meeting right now. When I'm free here, I'll invite you "Hangcheng Daily" to come."
With that said, Xiao Zheng hung up the phone.
"Sent away that unreliable old classmate from "Hangcheng Daily"?" Li Haiyan came outside to take a breath at some point. She heard some of what he said on the phone and asked with a smile.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "It's necessary."
After the meeting, Xiao Zheng went back to town for dinner.
Party committee member and deputy mayor Qin Keli also ate late, so Xiao Zheng went over to eat at the same table with her and discuss some matters. In the canteen of Tianhuang Town, the hall is a dining place for government officials.
There are also large private rooms and small private rooms. The large private rooms are for superior leaders to have light meals when they come. The small private rooms were originally designed for leaders in the town. When Song Guoming was in office, they basically ate in the small private rooms.
How to form the authority of a leader? That is to eat in a higher-end box than ordinary cadres, to ride in a special car that ordinary cadres cannot ride, and to sit on a high rostrum during meetings. This is what Song Guoming has always thought and done.
But Xiao Zheng didn't believe this. He had been suppressed for so long before, and later he went to the village to work with town and village cadres to jointly promote the "mine suspension work." Xiao Zheng developed his own method. The real prestige of a leader does not depend on the box.
Cars, rostrums and other external things depend on your ability to solve problems and command the overall situation. If you can't hold on to the solution of major problems, then the box, car and position that will create your prestige will be there right away.
They will all belong to others.
Is Song Guoming considered powerful? His previous position is still occupied by Guan Wei. Therefore, if a leader wants to secure his position, he must try his best to abandon dependence on external things, improve his own abilities and sharpen his trump card.
We should also go to the masses as much as possible to obtain first-hand information so as not to be fooled by the people below.
Therefore, after becoming the mayor of the town, Xiao Zheng, as long as he ate in the cafeteria at noon, would line up in the hall like everyone else, eat on the wooden round table with everyone, and chat, smoke and get to know the men, women, and children in the town.
In our case, we never go into a small box alone to have lunch.
Today, he saw Qin Keli having dinner with several veteran cadres in the town, so he sat down to eat and chat together.
One of the veteran cadres who was about to retire said: "Mr. Xiao, Jiang Daily and Jiang TV reported on the 'gorgeous rural construction' in our town two days ago? We have all seen it." Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "
Yes, the provincial media is very interested in our work in Tianhuang Town, so they reported on it." The veteran cadre said: "This is a good thing!"
But another veteran cadre next to him said, "How much did Mayor Xiao spend on this? Didn't he spend all the little money our town had in its finances?" These words sounded a bit malicious.
Qin Keli saw that this old cadre was an old career cadre. He was related to Song Guoming. When Song Guoming was in power, his life was very good. There were many people who invited him to dinner and gave him some cigarettes and wine.
But now that Song Guoming has been arrested, his life has returned to poverty. The people who invited him to dinner no longer invited him, and the people who gave him cigarettes and alcohol did not come to his door. Therefore, this veteran cadre felt a lot for Xiao Zheng.
Still a little angry.
Qin Keli understood this situation and said: "Old Song, "Jiang Daily" and Jiang TV came to report on us, but our town didn't spend a penny. This is because our party and government office Tao Fang wrote an article
The information management secretary and Mayor Xiao were in charge of the newspaper. Later, I was hired by the provincial party committee and approved by the provincial secretary, so the major media came. We didn’t spend the money, so we can check it with the town finance department.
"
Lao Song said: "Then let the provincial committee appoint you, and let the provincial secretary record the instructions, you have to spend money, right?" In Lao Song's eyes, the work that is recognized by the superiors is not whether you do well or not, but how much you give.
Not many questions. Even the former veteran cadre, Lao Xue, couldn't stand listening anymore and said: "Old Song, don't always worry about how much money is spent in the town. As long as you can get jobs in the town, it is a good thing. Others,
What does it have to do with you? The leader will consider everything."
But Lao Song said to Lao Xue: "What do you mean it has anything to do with me? Of course it has a lot to do with it! I went to the town's finance department to find out. Our town's finances are already empty. Do you know? Ours
The monthly salary is almost not paid, and I don’t know where next month’s salary will be? What’s the ‘beautiful countryside construction’? Beauty is beautiful, but where is the ‘rich’? The wages of the town cadres are almost unpaid.
If we are out, can we be considered 'rich'? If we starve to death today, what's the point of being beautiful? Lao Xue, tell it for yourself!"
When Lao Xue heard that the town would not be able to pay wages soon, he was a little worried and turned to Xiao Zheng: "Mayor Xiao, is this true?"
Qin Keli understands the situation. Most of what Old Song said is the truth. The town's finances can still cope with last month's salary, but it really cannot be paid in full this month. And where will next month's salary come from?
It's really an unknown. Qin Keli can only say: "Old Song, don't worry, we are in a difficult period of transformation and we will get through it."
But Lao Song was aggressive: "Comrade Qin Keli, tell me when you can spend it? One year? Two years? Or ten years?" How could this Qin Keli have the final say? She was temporarily
It’s not easy to answer either.
Xiao Zheng couldn't listen anymore and said: "Old Song, as long as I am still the mayor of this town, the town will not default on your wages, including the wages of old comrades such as Lao Xue. You can rest assured about this. If you default,
I no longer deserve to be the mayor."
When Lao Xue heard this, he felt a little embarrassed: "Mayor Xiao, that's not what I meant. We believe in Mayor Xiao."
But Lao Song still said: "Mayor Xiao, you must keep your word. My son bought a house in the county town and has to repay the loan every month. He can't afford the delay."
