Lin Yi came back. It was a month after he went to Hawaii.
I received a call from him that day, telling me to go to his villa for dinner in the evening. The place he told me was the villa where he hosted Governor Huang and Lin Yu last time.
Although it was not the weekend, I still agreed to him going to the dinner because I happened to have time on that day, and I don’t know why, but I found that I still missed him a little bit.
That's true. Maybe this really means that I have a feeling of family affection for him.
Today, the reform of Shangjiang City has officially begun. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government require each state-owned enterprise to come up with its own reform plan as soon as possible in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government and the reform policies and directions formulated.
The Municipal Party Committee has also formulated the overall direction of reform specifically based on the situation of each factory and mine, and has also very clearly stipulated the overall ideas for the next step of industrial structure adjustment for each state-owned enterprise. For example, the factory that once mainly produced light and conventional weapons,
Now it is mainly transformed into the production of household motorcycles. The factory that once produced tanks and other heavy weapons has been transformed into an industry focused on the automobile industry. The former electronic components factory has been transformed into household appliances, etc.
In addition, the Municipal Party Committee also held a special meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. At the meeting, it was clarified that each of our Standing Committee members must guide the reform of one to three state-owned enterprises.
The municipal party committee took into account that as the executive deputy mayor, I had too many chores on my hands, so it only asked me to be responsible for the reform of one factory. This factory used to produce heavy weapons, but now it has been transformed into an automobile manufacturing industry.
Before convening the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, I went to see Secretary Chen specifically to discuss with him some specific issues in the reform of state-owned enterprises, especially the issue of how to treat the original employees of state-owned enterprises.
This is the way I worked after Mayor Qin reminded me.
Secretary Chen is very interested in discussing this issue with me. In fact, Secretary Chen and I still have some differences on the issue of treating the original employees of state-owned enterprises.
I think there are two purposes for the reform of state-owned enterprises. One is to turn state-owned enterprises from losses to profits and no longer become a burden to the government. The other is to allow state-owned enterprises to play their leading role in the national economy. This is something that must be determined by the nature of our country's society. In addition,
, how to protect the interests of state-owned enterprise employees is also the most fundamental principle in the process of state-owned enterprise reform, because state-owned enterprises must assume the responsibility of maintaining social stability.
But Secretary Chen thought that my idea was only theoretical. He said: "Your idea is right, and I hope so too. But the reform of state-owned enterprises is not that simple. We must cooperate with foreign capital, and we need other people's help."
Capital and technology, our advantages are human resources and a huge sales market in the future, which is also the basis for foreign capital to cooperate with us. What is foreign capital? In the final analysis, it is the capital and technology of capitalist countries, and the essence of capitalism is exploitation.
In terms of surplus value and profits, for the sake of economic development, we can only succumb to adapting to their management methods and profit-making models. This also includes the treatment of original state-owned enterprise employees. Mayor Feng, this is not a joke.
If we only have socialism in our minds and become angry when we hear the word "exploitation", there will definitely be problems in future reforms. The only thing we have to do at the moment is to develop the economy first, revitalize state-owned enterprises first, and make temporary concessions and concessions.
There is no way for employees of state-owned enterprises to suffer some losses. The basis of planned economic policies implemented since the founding of our country has been proven by history to be unsound, and many of our state-owned enterprise employees do have poor personal qualities and concepts.
Some problems are mainly caused by laziness and lack of ownership awareness caused by the idea of eating from the same big pot. Mayor Feng, I have only one principle. Cooperation with foreign capital is a necessary prerequisite. Only under this premise can we go
Negotiate other conditions with them, and during the process of negotiating conditions, we have to make concessions. Of course, our state-owned enterprise holding is a necessary condition. This is also a matter of principle. After all, state-owned enterprises are state-owned enterprises, and there are political issues involved."
To be honest, his words have basically convinced me, because he talks about real problems that we must face, and I also begin to feel that I am indeed a bit idealistic. This is the result of long-term traditional education. However,
I still had a hidden worry in my heart, and then I said: "Secretary Chen, since the fundamental purpose of foreign capital is to pursue profits, they are likely to ask for a controlling stake, because only with a controlling stake can they have an absolute say and dominate the future development of the company.
So I am very worried that they will not agree to our conditions during future negotiations."
He smiled slightly and said: "There is this problem. But it is too early for us to talk about this issue now. Let's talk about it during the negotiation process. I believe that any problem can be solved. Mayor Feng, your
The work must be carried out quickly. Although the task given to you now is only to be responsible for the reform of a factory, this factory is the top priority of our Shangjiang City in the future and the future leading enterprise of our Shangjiang City. You must seize the time.
We will work out a specific plan and then contact the Japanese side for negotiation as soon as possible."
I nodded.
According to the idea after study by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, this state-owned enterprise will be a joint venture with a Japanese automobile company. Moreover, Secretary Chen has had contact with the Japanese side through the Provincial Commercial Committee before, and the other party has also expressed its desire for a joint venture.
Then I discussed another issue with Secretary Chen.
I said: "Secretary Chen, I have another idea. Now most of the state-owned enterprises in Shangjiang City are in the urban area. The original factories are too small. Do you think we should set aside a special area in the suburbs to build an industry?"
Park, move all these factories and mines to such a place? This will not only solve the possible expansion problems of these enterprises in the future, but also play a very good role in the transformation of our old city."
He shook his head and said: "I advocate going slower on this issue. There are several problems here. First, the reform of state-owned enterprises is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires a process, including the issue of future expansion. Second, the transformation of old cities
You should be very clear about the basis of housing, which is the purchasing power of the people. Otherwise, who can afford to build so many new houses? Even if it is a replacement, people have to pay to improve their housing conditions, and bank mortgages also require a down payment.
No? Mayor Feng, you are in charge of finance, have you investigated? What is the average deposit of our residents in Shangjiang City?"
Of course I knew about this, and I immediately understood what he meant, "It's so small that it's difficult to make a down payment."
He smiled and said: "That's it. Therefore, the best strategy is to develop the economy first and let the people have more money in their pockets before moving on to the next step. And there is also a conceptual problem here. Without money,
It’s useless to have ideas. Once you have money, ideas will naturally follow. People are like this. As long as they have money in their pockets, they will naturally think of how to improve their lives, including housing conditions.”
I was so impressed.
He was very interested and then continued: "The other thing is that we have to leave room for further development for the next government of Shangjiang City. Our task this time is to complete the reform of state-owned enterprises. If on this basis
Of course it would be best if you could do more work. But in that case, the task would be too heavy, and you might not be able to do a better job. As a person, I always have only one principle in doing things, and that is to do the right thing first.
When it comes to work, aiming too high will often bring losses to a place."
I nodded again.
Then he sighed: "Shangjiang City has not developed much over the years, and the leaders in the province are also very anxious, so they asked our team to arrest this matter. Everyone is lazy
, including cadres and ordinary people in Shangjiang City. Now we are carrying out reforms with great fanfare, which has made this place that was originally very peaceful become impetuous. This is also something that can’t be helped. In fact, we are dealing with so many cadres this time,
How can I feel at peace in my heart? No matter what, they are all people who have contributed to Shangjiang City to some extent. We have no choice but to do it for the sake of Shangjiang City's tomorrow."
So I took the opportunity to ask: "Have the affairs of Wen and Jiang been investigated clearly now?"
He nodded, "Basically, it's almost the same. Wen took millions in bribes, had abnormal relationships with five women at the same time, and he also maintained a female college student in the provincial capital. Not to mention Jiang's problem,
Tens of millions of assets of unknown origin, and it is also related to the underworld. Yin’s problem is smaller. She is not involved in many things. The main thing is that her relatives use her authority for personal gain."
I asked again: "Where is Jiang Kui?"
He glanced at me and said, "This person also has problems. He falsely reported nearly 50,000 yuan in catering invoices and pocketed them in his own pocket. He also once accepted nearly 50,000 yuan in bribes when arranging work for others. According to
The law stipulates that he must be sentenced to at least ten years or eight years."
I couldn't help but sigh, "Secretary Chen, in fact, he is not greedy, and there is a reason for it. Do you think so? Haha! I'm just saying this to you in private, so please don't criticize me for being unprincipled.
"
He pointed at me with a smile, "You, don't I know what you are thinking? Mayor Feng, you should know that the most important thing for those in power is to demand that their subordinates' orders must be carried out and prohibitions must be stopped. Sometimes,
Even if something is wrong, it can only continue because those in power are considering the overall situation and the future. This is the same reason why we will have to lay off some people in the future. So, don’t talk about this matter again.
"
I can only sigh in my heart. In fact, I know what he said is right. As a person in power, sometimes you just can't be merciful when doing things. I may not be able to do that...but it's not necessarily.
Maybe it's just because I didn't sit in that seat.
I asked the driver to take me home first, and then drove to Lin Yi's house. The child insisted on going with me noisily, but I firmly disagreed. In fact, the child did not know where I was going, he just wanted to go with me.
You want to play with me. But I already have a deep shadow on Lin Yi’s family because of the children’s matter.
The child cried loudly. My mother immediately came to blame me, "Why don't you take the child with you? It's definitely not business for you to drive out by yourself. He is still young, and you should cherish it if he wants to be with you. Wait.
When your child grows up, you want to play with him but he still doesn’t want to. Look at yourself, how many days have you spent with us since you grew up? Really!"
Of course my mother's words were right. I hurriedly explained to my mother: "Today I am going to my child's grandpa's house for dinner. Can I take my child to a place like that? He has been living there since he was a child. In case...
...Mom, please stop talking. I will definitely not take him there today."
The mother said: "Isn't the child's grandmother still abroad? What does that matter have to do with his grandfather? Xiao'er, you are a man, you should be more generous. The matter has passed, not to mention that your father-in-law will handle the child's affairs for you.
Okay. People, you have to learn to be grateful. Take your children with you, don’t be so petty.”
What my mother said made sense, and I suddenly felt that I was a little narrow-minded. Taking my children to Lin Yi's place not only reflected my gratitude to him, but also suited the atmosphere of today's family gathering. (Unfinished)
