Wen Jinglong is in charge of many affairs in Huainan Province and cannot take into account many details, such as the Huainan Provincial Reform and Development Conference. This does not require him to worry about it. Someone below will naturally take care of everything. Originally, he thought that today's meeting would be as usual.
, sit on the rostrum, listen to various government materials, and then follow the pre-established process to complete it, it is over.
Although Wen Jinglong has always felt that meetings should not be held in such a worthless manner, bad habits have been formed in China's officialdom over the years, and the meeting has turned into a boring party. Everyone is performing according to routines, and it seems that they are just doing it.
Others see it, and it becomes further and further away from the original intention.
Wen Jinglong once had the idea in his mind to change the meeting, but when his level was not high enough, he did not have the ability, and when he was really in power, he felt that he had to maintain stability.
There were not many seats in the hall, so all the participants stood in the venue, holding a glass of wine in their hands, chatting together in small groups, which was very much like a dinner party in Western countries.
Although Wen Jinglong felt that this kind of occasion did not match the seriousness of the development and reform work conference, he did not feel disgusted with this atmosphere. After so many years in officialdom, Wen Jinglong had become numb to meetings, and there were numerous conferences and small meetings, especially
When he became governor and secretary of the provincial party committee, every meeting became formalistic and tasteless.
Wen Jinglong smiled, waved to his acquaintances present, and then walked up to the rostrum, followed closely by Wei Qun, Shen Hanchun and others. Executive Vice Governor Zhao Guoyi stood in front of the rostrum. He had no manuscript in his hand, and then
Xing Erfa said: "Mr. and Madam present, please stop communicating for the time being. Next, I would like to invite Secretary Wen, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, to speak."
There was a sudden silence in the stadium, and everyone glanced at the rostrum.
Wen Jinglong smiled faintly and found that there was no speech script on the podium. He smiled helplessly and said: "According to the plan set by the Provincial Party Committee Office, today I was originally here to participate in the provincial development and reform work conference, but I came here
When I arrived at the scene, I was startled and thought I had gone to the wrong venue. I was about to ask Secretary-General Comrade Xu Changchun for questioning. Governor Wei came over and told me that I was not wrong. Today’s provincial development and reform work conference was indeed held
It was held here in a unique way, using the form of an open buffet banquet. I think that although today's meeting is a bit unserious and informal, it at least has one advantage. Everyone is standing up to participate in the meeting, so it will not be difficult to read the manuscript.
I’m tired, I’m drowsy down there.”
When Wen Jinglong said this, roaring laughter came from below. Wen Jinglong changed his previous serious image, and today's speech was humorous, which greatly changed people's minds.
Wen Jinglong paused, and when the laughter subsided, Fang continued: "Today's occasion reminded me of countries with presidential systems such as the United States and Russia. Their meetings are always different from ours, and their preparations are
It has attracted the attention of the people. Starting in 1790, Washington, the first president of the United States, made the first annual summary report, which later evolved into the State of the Union address that attracted great attention from the people. When I say so much, I am not talking about this overseas report.
This method of meeting is the best, but it is definitely more advanced than the domestic ones. Since it is a meeting, the government must come up with topics that the people are willing to listen to and understand. The so-called concern for people's livelihood must be from top to bottom.
Let’s start with government work meetings. We need to study and discuss issues. Sitting alone in a closed venue is obviously not a good way. In such an open environment, everyone discusses with each other and develops from collisions in a relaxed atmosphere.
The sparks are more meaningful, which is also the purpose of the organizers of today’s meeting.”
"I admire the organizers of this year's development and reform work conference for using a brand new way to interpret our conference system. This is a signal and a turning point. I think Huainan's development and reform system will definitely be better in the next five years.
They will broaden their thinking, dare to find new ways, find the starting point for changes and breakthroughs, and then guide society from ineffective to effective, from passive to active, from passive to active, so that the engine of social development will be more energy-rich..."
Wen Jinglong's unscripted speech today was casual and demonstrated his extraordinary eloquence. When the words fell, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
While applauding, Chu Shiyuan smiled bitterly at Ni Mingyang and whispered: "I didn't expect Secretary Wen to highly approve of the meeting today."
Ni Mingyang glanced at Fang Zhicheng, who was standing not far away, with complex eyes, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, saying: "This kid is very lucky. If it were another person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so lucky."
Chu Shiyuan shook his head and whispered: "Not really. Who else would dare to organize a meeting in this way? Even if Secretary Wen today spoke highly of the open meeting format, if you were asked to use this kind of meeting tomorrow,
Do you dare to organize a meeting in this way?"
Ni Mingyang shook his head and sighed: "Indeed, this is a bold guy."
Officialdom is a serious place. Although many things are not explicitly stipulated, they must be followed based on past experience. For annual system work meetings like this, everyone organizes them according to procedures. Who dares to use a cocktail party instead?
Chu Shiyuan said with emotion: "Fang Zhicheng is really a problematic figure. If word of today's meeting spreads, I don't know how much impact it will have."
Ni Mingyang's eyes flashed and he whispered: "Yes, if you look into it carefully, it will rise to an ideological issue."
In recent decades, with the deepening of reform and opening up, few people have raised the issue of ideology. However, when inspecting cadres, the Organization Department will study their political tendencies. Fang Zhicheng's tone is a bit leaning towards the right.
, definitely controversial.
Chu Siyuan waved his hand, hinting to Ni Mingyang not to continue talking. He could just keep some words in his heart. If he said it, he would easily get into trouble.
Ni Mingyang smiled complicatedly, took a sip of red wine, smacked his lips, and said, "The wine tastes quite good, and the price is probably not low."
Chu Siyuan nodded and said: "According to the level of today's party, the funds will probably be more than twice as much as in previous years."
Ni Mingyang said in a deep voice: "Of course someone will find trouble with him tomorrow."
Chu Siyuan didn't say much, and glanced at the reception stage again. He was still unwilling to accept it, because in previous years, he, the executive deputy director, stole the show in such meetings, but today, Fang Zhicheng completely subverted the previous meeting format.
.In other words, in his opinion, the previous meetings were completely undesirable. Chu Shiyuan had a deep mind and would hide many words in his heart. He was far more calm than Ni Mingyang.
After Wen Jinglong finished speaking, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he took a goblet from the waiter's hand and walked among the crowd. Wei Qun accompanied him and introduced Wen Jinglong from time to time.
Shen Hanchun would introduce the situation of the officials on the other side who were unfamiliar to Wei Qun in a timely manner. After about half an hour, Wen Jinglong left the venue, and Wei Qun waited for a while before leaving.
An open reception, unlike a round-table dinner, makes it difficult for officials to get drunk. In this relaxed atmosphere and state, the local Development and Reform Commission cadres formed several circles to exchange experiences with each other. The main person in charge of the Yinzhou Development and Reform Commission
Chen Guohuai is undoubtedly the most influential. He attracted many people and shared his work experience with everyone without reservation.
Fang Zhicheng suddenly felt his shoulders sink. He turned around and saw Zhang Zhen and said with a smile, "Director Zhang, I've been looking for you."
Zhang Zhen is the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Zilan City. When Fang Zhicheng was the director of the High Technology Department, he went to Zilan City for research. During this period, he had contact with Zhang Zhen and got to know him somewhat.
Zhang Zhen joked: "You are the organizer of today's meeting. You must have a lot of things to do. I have seen you for a long time, but I have never dared to disturb you."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "The big bosses have left, and now I have become an idler."
Zhang Zhen glanced at Fang Zhicheng with a complex expression and lowered his voice: "Did you make too much noise this time? It was peaceful tonight, but it will definitely cause controversy tomorrow?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled lightly and said: "Controversy is a good thing! As a cadre of the National Development and Reform Commission, knowing that something is problematic and not trying to change it is the greatest tragedy."
Zhang Zhen sighed: "You are the only one who has such courage!"
Everyone knows that there are problems with the current government work meeting method. Every meeting has to be vigorous, and when you actually get to the meeting venue, you just read the materials through, which has no substantive meaning. However, the government has just acquiesced to this meeting format.
Existence, even though we know it has no value and meaning, we still let it exist.
Fang Zhicheng and Shen Hanchun argued for a long time on how to organize this provincial work conference. In the end, Shen Hanchun accepted Fang Zhicheng's plan and chose to adopt a completely new form. When Shen Hanchun reported to Wei Qun,
Wei Qun was silent for a long time, but he still accepted the plan. In response, Wei Qun said, "Knowing that there is a mistake but not correcting it is a kind of evil."
The next day, as everyone expected, the Huainan Provincial Development and Reform Annual Work Conference caused an uproar, and even reached the ears of the chiefs. For this reason, the No. 2 chief also specially communicated with Wen Jinglong. There was no specific result.
Everyone knows. However, judging from internal news, although the central government did not criticize the Huainan Development and Reform Commission for this behavior, it still vaguely reminded it to maintain stability.
Fang Zhicheng was called to the study by Shen Hanchun to drink tea. Judging from his expression, the provincial party committee did not put too much pressure on him this time. Shen Hanchun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "As expected, someone took money from the meeting funds.
direction, criticizing this development and reform work conference as being too extravagant and wasteful.”
Fang Zhicheng smiled lightly and said: "I can take out all the details, deduct the drinks, venue and other expenses and still have a surplus. I found a few sponsors on site and they gave me their support!"
Shen Hanchun nodded and said, "It's just this kind of government meeting that has been criticized for finding sponsors."
Fang Zhicheng explained calmly: "We should take a broader view. Sponsors are not forced by us. They have this need. Compared with using taxpayers' money, using their money is equivalent to robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
Yes! They put so many product placement ads at the reception, they must have gained something."
Shen Hanchun sighed and said, "Although you are a government official, you are more like a cunning businessman!"
