I couldn't help laughing, "Old Wu, why are you so confused? In our country, will the government's finances go bankrupt? If the government's finances go bankrupt, the government will also go bankrupt. This kind of system in our country will appear
Is that the case? In our country, what is the government? It’s the political power. You are an old comrade, why can’t you understand such a problem? "
He smiled bitterly and said: "You are right. But the money we borrow always has to be paid back to the bank, right?"
I smiled and said: "Old Wu, why don't you understand? First, does the money in the industrial park belong to our municipal government? As long as they make money, it is equivalent to the municipal government making money. Second, even if it is ours
The investment is too large and future debt repayment will become a problem. So will the higher authorities make our Shangjiang Municipal People's Government bankrupt? It certainly won't be right? Whose money belongs to the bank? It does not belong to the country. We Shangjiang City and the country
It is equivalent to the relationship between a son and Lao Tzu. If the son borrows money from Lao Tzu and cannot repay it, what if Lao Tzu can treat him as his son?
Those state-owned enterprises in Shangjiang City owed so many loans to banks in the past few years, but were they cleared by the policies introduced by the higher authorities? After all, it is the state's money, and we are not using it to divide it ourselves, we are also investing it.
local construction.
This is actually similar to the special funds of various departments in the province. Whoever has the ability can get more. If we get more, others will get less. Therefore, the most important thing for us now is how to find ways to get as much as possible from the bank.
If you take out some loans, as long as you take out the money, things will be easier to deal with later. Besides, we also try to pay attention to the risks of investment and try our best to find ways to repay the money to the bank.
Actually, what we have to do is just one thing: don’t default on the bank’s interest payments. In this case, it will be easier for both the bank and our government to talk. In short, it is the country’s money anyway. If we don’t spend it, others will
To spend it. But we must try to reduce risks as much as possible and try to form a virtuous cycle of investment and income. What is the purpose of our investment? On the one hand, we must do a good job in construction and invest in people's livelihood. On the other hand, we must speculate on our land.
It also stimulates the development of business. This is a virtuous circle."
He nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, that's the truth. I know what you said very well, but I think I should remind you. Obviously, Secretary Rong will not work in our Shangjiang City for a long time.
Mayor Feng, have you noticed? She does things differently from our previous municipal party secretaries in Shangjiang City. On the one hand, her style is very steady, but on the other hand, she also pays great attention to political achievements. Besides, she is also a lesbian
. What our country lacks the most today is female cadres like her, so there should be huge room for her advancement in the future. Mayor Feng, you won’t have a different opinion when I say this, right?"
I looked at him doubtfully, "Old Wu, what exactly do you want to explain?"
He smiled and said: "What I want to express is very simple. If Secretary Rong is transferred by then, then you will definitely be the one to replace her. If we invest too much now, then all the troubles in the future will be solved."
onto you.
Mayor Feng, you and I are friends, so I will not say useless words in front of you, and I am not willing to hide my truest thoughts in front of you.
Mayor Feng, have you ever thought about it? In fact, everything we are doing now is to pave the way for Secretary Rong. When she leaves, the mess will be left to you and me. How will we clean up all this?"
What he said was indeed very clear and bold. Of course, he did regard me as a friend, so he said such things in front of me so clearly and boldly. I think his analysis is right.
I also think that Secretary Rong will leave Shangjiang City soon, because I also feel that her goal is not just her current position as Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
In addition, I also heard another meaning in his words: Once Secretary Rong leaves Shangjiang City, it is inevitable that I will take over her position. This is because the leaders in the province usually consider the continuity of their work.
, unless there are special circumstances, generally new top leaders will not be transferred from other places to take charge of the work. Then, when I become the municipal party committee secretary, he will most likely become the mayor.
His analysis makes sense, because he knows that I will help him when the time comes, because of our friendship and his full cooperation with me. Sometimes I have also thought about this question: What if one day I really
If you become the secretary of the municipal party committee, who is the most suitable to be the mayor? There is only one candidate in my mind, and that is the mayor Wu in front of me at this time.
As the secretary of the municipal party committee, what is most needed is the cooperation of an administrative leader who can complete all tasks according to his own intentions. On this point, I am very clear at present, so I will do it to the letter.
To carry out various instructions given by Secretary Haorong.
As for me, I have long realized that among today’s deputy leaders at the municipal level, only Mayor Wu seems to have the same executive ability as me. In other words, if one day I really become the leader here
Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, in my mind, he is the only candidate for mayor.
However, I think what he said just now is not completely correct, and it is also a kind of unfounded worry. Of course, I also seem to understand another intention in his words: maybe he is testing my opinion on the future pattern of Shangjiang City.
s arrangement.
I thought for a moment and then said: "Old Wu, I don't completely agree with your statement. First, even if Secretary Rong is transferred one day and is promoted to a higher position, even if I can really succeed her,
Then you are likely to take on a higher position. Therefore, what we are doing now is not only paving the way for Secretary Rong, but also paving the way for you and me. Lao Wu, you should agree with my statement, right?
"
He smiled and said: "That's true."
In fact, this was my answer to the most important question in his mind. In other words, it was a reassurance for him. Of course, what I said did not count. At most, it was just to express my own attitude. As for
For me, it is also necessary to express my attitude to him, because he has already asked me this question, which shows that he needs my attitude. And we are friends, so I should not avoid such questions.
I continued: "Old Wu, until now, I still don't think there is much problem with our current investment.
I have analyzed the economic development status and prospects of our Shangjiang City more than once. I always believe that our current investment is still within a safe range, and judging from the current situation, our investment environment is already very good.
The price of land in urban areas has tripled from a year ago. The land on Binjiang Road has not yet been auctioned, but its appreciation potential has been highlighted.
Therefore, although our current investment is a bit large and too fast, we have still controlled the risks within the scope of our control. Of course, there is one aspect that must be controlled now. Lao Wu
, in fact, the things I want to talk to you about today also include this issue. In the future, we must form a unified thinking in this regard. This is what we need to do most now."
He asked me: "Which problem are you talking about?"
I looked at him and said to him in a low voice: "The only thing is to control the speed of land transfer. Whether it is urban land or the current planning of new areas, we cannot auction them all at once.
.
Land is the only guarantee for the financial security of our municipal government. On the one hand, if we sell out all our land at once, we will have no resources in the future. On the other hand, as our investment environment continues to improve,
With the rapid development of business, our land resources will become more and more valuable, so we can obtain greater benefits by conducting auctions in stages in a planned manner."
He nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, I understand what you mean. In this way, our future risks can be minimized, because we still have more valuable resources on hand."
I smiled and said: "That's it. So Lao Wu, I think your worries are unnecessary. What is the government? It is a first-level political power with abundant resources. Now the central government has proposed sustainable development and the scientific concept of development.
For our local government, in the final analysis, it is about leaving a wealth to our descendants and leaving room for development for our successors. Haha! Maybe my understanding is too one-sided and too superficial.
, but that’s how I understand it.”
He smiled and said, "You can't bring this up to the conference, even though that's exactly what you said."
I also laughed, "Isn't this the two of you and I chatting in private?"
He immediately suppressed his smile and said, "Mayor Feng, after hearing you tell me so much today, I no longer have any worries in my heart. Don't worry about going abroad to handle your affairs. I will help you at home.
Well, under normal circumstances I will not disturb your trip abroad this time. And... to be honest, I feel that I am very lucky in my life. I have met many good leaders in the past, and now I am fortunate enough to
Being able to be your deputy, God is really kind to me."
I smiled and said to him: "Mayor Wu, we are friends, why are you saying such polite words to me?"
He smiled and said: "Politeness is a must. Mayor Feng, I shouldn't be so polite in front of you, but I am really grateful to you in my heart. Since you arrived in Shangjiang City, I have found that I
Everything has become smoother. According to superstition, each of us will meet the support of a noble person in our life. I think you are the noble person in my life."
I immediately felt that what he said was a bit too much, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I hurriedly said: "Old Wu, stop it. You know who I am. What do you want me to do if you say this?"
How are you doing? You and I are friends first, and colleagues second. We really shouldn’t be so open-minded. Lao Wu, you are older than me. How can you make me feel embarrassed by saying this? Don’t do this again in the future.
, this will compromise the friendship between us."
He said to me apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm too much of a person sometimes. Haha! That's okay, I'll just pay attention to it from now on."
In fact, I felt a little nervous at this time, because I suddenly found that my relationship with him had become a burden. Because I had always regarded him as a friend, that's why I told him
Those inner words before.
But now I have become a little worried: if one day there is a conflict between us, then some of the words we have said will become the basis for others to attack me. Therefore, I feel that what I must do now is to
Wrap him up and bring him back into your circle of friends. (To be continued)
