After the Spring Festival, the National People's Congress will formally elect and appoint me. Before then, I want to fully demonstrate my unique image.
Then I started talking specifically about the issue of taxi price increases.
I said: "I talked about the beautiful blueprint for the future of our city earlier, but this future is not far away, that is, in two or three years, the blueprint will not be illusory, but truly beautiful. The municipal party committee and government are formulating urban plans.
I considered it repeatedly during the process and even paid great attention to some detailed issues.
For example, this river runs through the middle of our city. What materials are we going to use to build the river embankment that is both beautiful and durable? What kind of trees are best to plant on both sides of the river embankment? Where should the pavilion be placed in a more beautiful position? Wait, we
We have carefully considered it. Take the trees on the river embankment, for example. Someone suggested planting willow trees, saying that willow trees are beautiful when planted by the river, and they seem to be dancing when the breeze blows."
Someone is laughing below.
I continued: "But some people told us that willow trees are bad and unlucky. They said that willows, mulberry trees, and locust trees are all ghost trees. They also said, 'Don't plant mulberries in front of the neem, don't plant willows behind it, and don't plant it in the courtyard.'"
Ghost clapping hands.' So we changed to ginkgo trees.
We are not superstitious at all, but we must respect the customs and habits of the people. I am a medical student, so I don’t believe in any superstition. I used to do experiments on corpses, but why have I never seen any ghosts?
But I think the so-called folk customs are actually the psychological feelings of ordinary people. Just think about it, if we really plant willow trees, locust trees, etc., so that everyone dares not go out at night, what will happen?"
The people below laughed.
I also laughed, and then continued: "Look at our old city, there are rickshaws all over the street, and vendors have put their things on the road. My son recently learned to make sentences, and he said to me, the road
The cars on the street are slower than a snail. Before we went to Shangjiang City, the cars on the streets were really slower than a snail."
The people below laughed again.
I said: "Although the situation has improved after renovation, the traffic situation in our city is still very bad. Why is this? In the final analysis, it is because there are too many rickshaws. What is the future situation of our city?
of?
Let me tell you that in the near future, not far from the highway exit of our city, at the first intersection into the city, a sculpture will be erected. The sculpture is a horse, and the figure below the horse is
There will be several five-stars on the base. This is the symbol of the tourist city.
The country has very high requirements for the assessment of tourist cities. In addition to the historical and cultural status of our city itself, it also has high requirements for urban roads, transportation, etc. According to the current situation of our city
It seems that even the national health city requirements are difficult to meet.
Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the number of rickshaws and improve the quality of taxis. As the quality of our city improves, there will be more and more tourists from outside in the future, and everyone's income will increase accordingly.
That’s it.
We are a heavy industrial city in the province and even the country. Now we are faced with the choice of having to reform, and the resulting problem of laid-off workers is also very serious.
When we introduce foreign investment and carry out urban transformation, the ultimate goal is to develop the economy and allow more people to get employment opportunities. This is a virtuous circle. If we stick to the previous concepts, then we will have to stop.
Before, our next generation will look down on us and be disappointed, and then they will stay away from our city to develop. This is not what we all want to see, right?"
Having said this, I paused, looked at everyone smiling, and then continued, "Here I will give you another calculation. In the past, we all used to take rickshaws when we went out, and the distance to the vegetable market was probably less than one hour.
You can also take a rickshaw for kilometers. Why? Because it’s cheap. It costs two yuan, which is the price of a handful of cabbage. It only costs four yuan to go and come back, which is the price of two handfuls of cabbage and a lump of tofu.
If we ban most rickshaws, it is estimated that people will take less taxis, even once a day. If we increase the starting price to seven yuan, it will be three yuan more, three yuan, that is, every day
Eat less cabbage, more cabbage, and more tofu. And in this case, many of us may choose to walk a lot of the time in order to save money.
In this case, you can also exercise by the way. In fact, the issue of taxi price increases will not have a big impact on the daily lives of ordinary people. In the future, most of the people taking taxis will be tourists from outside, and we citizens occasionally want to go a little further.
place. But this incident has a great impact on our city. When everyone goes to visit relatives in other places, they can be proud to say: Our taxis in Shangjiang City are better than most cities in the country.
!How honorable is this?"
Everyone below laughed.
I then added: "I want to give everyone a heads-up in advance about this. As prices increase, the production and operation costs of many of our companies will increase. In the future, the prices of our daily necessities, including water, electricity, etc., will inevitably increase.
There is no way around this. We must ensure that our water plants and natural gas companies can continue to operate.
Of course, the price increase will not be too high. In short, it will not affect the daily lives of ordinary people. Here, I want to instill a concept in everyone: Many of us always traditionally believe that saving can lead to change.
Have a better life.
Of course, frugality is a virtue, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, we need to take a broader view, that is, we must not only reduce expenditures, but also increase revenue. Therefore, we must vigorously develop the economy and strive to build our city into a great city.
A modern city with unique characteristics and developed economy will allow every citizen to have a job and the income of every family to be greatly increased. This is our goal.
At the same time, I also hope that everyone can take a longer-term view and cooperate with the municipal party committee and the municipal government to do a good job in every work we do. Well, that’s all I have to say before. Let’s ask the director of our National Development and Reform Commission to introduce it.
Let’s talk about the taxi price adjustment plan this time, and then invite everyone present to speak.”
In fact, there is a certain risk in what I said just now, because I mentioned in advance the possible price increases in other aspects. But I think this is the best, so as to appear more candid.
In fact, I have always believed in one thing: most people are very reasonable. Although they may consider their personal interests too much in many cases, this is also human nature.
The director of the National Development and Reform Commission gave a more detailed explanation. He mainly talked about the basis for the price increase, and carefully calculated the oil price and the range in which the oil price would rise. He also specifically introduced the fuel consumption of newly manufactured cars, etc.
Next is the time for the actual hearing.
Just as I had hoped and expected, the subsequent process went very smoothly, and the representatives below raised almost no objections.
I feel very emotional about this: our people are really very reasonable and very kind. And for us, honesty is also very important.
The next thing will be much simpler, that is, the municipal government will hold a government executive meeting to study the issue of taxi replacement, and then submit the matter to the Municipal Standing Committee for study and approval.
In the final analysis, this is just a procedural issue. The hearing has been passed, so no one will have any objections.
Secretary Rong is also relatively satisfied with the government's affairs, and she even had a special talk with me about this.
"Mayor Feng, your government has done a good job recently. The citizens have responded very well to our current work." She said to me with a smile after meeting.
I smiled and said, "This is mainly because Secretary Rong has good leadership, and we just try our best to implement it."
I am the mayor and she is the secretary of the municipal party committee. Although I believe she will not think that I have great achievements, but such words are what I must say. This is also a rule, because this is an attitude I must express.
She smiled and said: "You... Mayor Feng, although our work can be recognized by the people now, I think this is also a kind of pressure. This puts forward better requirements for our work next year and in the future. So.
, we have to plan carefully for next year. Also, after the Spring Festival is the Two Sessions, your government work report must be drafted carefully."
I nodded and said: "Secretary Rong, I am very confident about next year's work. For our government, the most important task at the moment is to increase the intensity of investment promotion, carefully organize the funds, and then implement it in a planned way.
Our key projects. Regarding the government work report, I will immediately arrange a team to start drafting it, and strive to have the first draft out before the year, and then ask you to review it." (To be continued)
