He pondered for a moment and then said: "Mayor Feng, there is only one way."
I asked him hurriedly: "What can I do? Please tell me quickly."
He immediately said: "There is an old revolutionary in our city, and his prestige here is extremely high. As long as we invite him out at that time, many problems can be solved. We can invite local entrepreneurs from all over the city to hold a symposium
, please ask this old comrade to take charge, then the effect will be much better.
However, ordinary people may not be able to invite this person. Either Secretary Rong, or you can invite him. Secretary Chen did not visit him after he arrived here, and Secretary Rong has not visited him since he came. I guess no one wants to.
They suggested it, or maybe they thought it was unnecessary. Anyway, the old man is very angry right now, and it will be even more difficult to ask him to come out at this time."
I immediately asked: "Is the old revolutionary you are talking about named An?"
He nodded, and then looked at me in surprise, "Mayor Feng, so you already knew this?"
I then told Chairman Ma what I had mentioned about this matter after meeting him, and then asked him: "Old Wu, I feel very strange, if we start the project of the veteran cadre activity center now, it will really
Can we ask him to come out? With a budget of 8 million, it will be at least 10 million or more when it is actually completed, including the equipment and some unpredictable additions. This is for sure.
In this case, our price is too high, right? Also, where are we going to come up with more than 10 million yuan of funds now? Furthermore, how can this project be passed at the standing meeting of the municipal government? We use
What reasons should be used to convince other deputy mayors?"
He immediately said: "What Chairman Ma said about Mr. An is true, but the project of the Veteran Cadre Activity Center is not as important as he said. Mr. An hopes that the Veteran Cadre Activity Center can be rebuilt as soon as possible, but it is not yet up to the standard.
The level of importance that Chairman Ma mentioned.
Mayor Feng, maybe I shouldn’t explain this matter so clearly. In fact, the situation is like this. Behind the existing Veteran Cadre Activity Center is the ancestral home of Chairman Ma’s family, and the current Veteran Cadre Activity Center completely blocks the
His ancestral home has greatly reduced its value."
I understood immediately, but then I felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly: "But, if we rebuild the veteran cadre activity center, won't his ancestral home be at the back?"
He shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, I guess you haven't seen the veteran cadre activity center. It is a very small piece of land and the buildings are very old. If it is to be rebuilt, it will not be suitable at the original place because
There are high-rise buildings on both sides of the Veteran Cadre Activity Center, and the existing Veteran Cadre Activity Center is an old building from the past. It has not been set back some distance to leave a sidewalk like the houses that were built later.
After all, if we want to rebuild the veteran cadre activity center, we must find a new place, and the remaining land will be of little use. In other words, the vacant land left after the demolition of that place will only be
It has become the courtyard of Chairman Ma’s ancestral home. This is the situation.”
Now I completely understood, and there was a kind of anger in my heart: How could this Chairman Ma set a trap for me like this? But then I felt something was wrong: he clearly knew that I would
I went to see that place and easily learned that the ancestral home of his family was behind the Veteran Cadre Activity Center. So why would he set such a trap on me? This is unreasonable. You know, officialdom
What the person above hates most is for others to set a trap for him, and the trap he set is not clever. He should know that once his intentions are exposed, he will definitely offend me. He will not be so stupid.
ah?
I immediately looked at Mayor Wu and said: "Old Wu, I don't think Chairman Ma is so short-sighted. I think there is a more important reason for this."
He said: "I think there may be several reasons for this. First, Mr. An is really interested in this project, and Chairman Ma is just taking advantage of it.
Second, the area of the Veteran Cadre Center does not involve the overall planning scope of the city, because most of the houses in that area are office buildings built by some units a few years ago. If he can promote the relocation of the Veteran Cadre Activity Center, he will
Why not benefit by the way?
Third, since the veteran cadre activity center will be relocated sooner or later, wouldn’t it be more advantageous to relocate earlier?
This brings us to the issue you mentioned earlier, Mayor Feng. Sooner or later, we will invest in the Veteran Cadre Activity Center project, so we cannot say that investing now is a loss. It will only disrupt our plans.
.
However, a mere investment of 10 million yuan will not have a big impact on our financial planning. I believe that we can still solve it as long as we find a way.
Fourth, what Chairman Ma may have seen is that Shangjiang City is undergoing a large-scale urban transformation. I am thinking that maybe he will find a way to buy the small piece of land left after the relocation of the Laogan Center.
, and then rebuild his ancestral house, in which case its value will increase many times.
Of course, if we can start the veteran cadre activity center project immediately, it may be easier to invite the elderly out. So, I think Chairman Ma is thinking about this from two perspectives: helping you and helping himself.
Something.”
After hearing what he said, I immediately felt that things should be like this. I immediately asked him: "Old Wu, you mean, I will report this matter to Secretary Rong first, and then talk to Secretary Rong about it."
Let’s go visit that old man An together?”
He shook his head and said: "I think it would be better for you to visit him directly. Mr. An's ideas are relatively old-fashioned, and he feels that it is not suitable for female comrades to be leaders. Haha! I have only heard other people say this, and I guess it is very
Maybe it’s because such words reached Secretary Rong’s ears that you didn’t visit him?”
I was very surprised, "Why does he have such thoughts?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "This may have something to do with his experience during the Cultural Revolution. It is said that he was slapped several times by a female Red Guard at that time. Later, the female Red Guard became our Shangjiang Revolutionary Guard.
The leader of the committee. But it may not be for this reason... Who knows? He has already retreated, and he has no words to hold back. Moreover, many veteran cadres here listen to his words. He is the leader in our local area.
A very authoritative person.”
His words immediately made me hesitate: What if Secretary Rong hates this person and I try to do something about him? How will Secretary Rong view this matter in the future? But then I thought, if I worry too much about such a thing
, and if it affects my work in the future, it will be even more worth the loss. Thinking of this, I immediately asked: "Mayor Wu, if I go to visit him directly, will he see me?"
He shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. This man's temper is a bit weird. He has a good relationship with the retired old workers and the uncles and aunties around him, but he is very cold to the current leaders. In his heart,
There are not many leaders today who are not corrupt. Haha! He is such a person."
I laughed immediately, and then asked: "So, he always has hobbies, right?"
He said: "Mayor Feng, there is someone who can recommend you to see him. That is Mr. Liu."
I didn't feel much strange about what he said. According to Mayor Wu and Chairman Ma, Mr. An should be one of those old revolutionaries with conservative ideas and special integrity. If someone has a true friendship with him, then
There are only people like Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu is a scholar, and he should not be too different in age from Mr. An. It is not surprising that the two of them can become friends.
So I decided to pay a visit to Mr. Liu first, and by the way, I could learn more about old age care from him.
However, before going to Mr. Liu, I reported the matter to Secretary Rong first. I will not completely believe some rumors. For me, I must stick to my principles and do things according to the rules. In my heart
It is clear that as a person in the officialdom, if we do not adhere to principles and rules, this road will soon come to an end.
Secretary Chen’s case is a good example.
After listening to my report, Secretary Rong just smiled lightly and said: "Mayor Feng, you don't need to report this kind of thing to me. That is your municipal government's business. As long as your work can go smoothly."
It will be fine as long as it does not cause any trouble. As for the method to be adopted, it will be fine as long as it does not violate the principles."
I smiled and said, "Yes. I understand."
She then smiled at me again. Her smile meant that our conversation should be over for today, and of course I understood.
In addition, I also understood in my heart that what she just said was just polite, and it also showed her ambition as the secretary of the municipal party committee. Nothing more.
Only then did I go to Mr. Liu’s place with confidence. (To be continued)
