Incompetent people never blame themselves. Instead, they blame others for their problems, and may even become jealous and angry towards those who are capable.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Dong, I'm going to Hong Kong next week, and I may not be able to arrange the time. This matter is urgent. If we don't hurry up and talk about it, the project will probably run away."
He looked at me and said, "This trip to Hong Kong is originally a matter for the provincial supervisors. Although the project is for the future development of Dongjiang, we have very little say after all, right? Let me explain it to them.
We in Dongjiang can just let Mayor Sun go. You stay and sort out what those few people did. This matter is the most important. The province put the high-tech entrepreneurial park here, but we ended up with it.
After driving them away, how will we face the provincial leaders in the future?"
I still hesitated, "Secretary Dong, I can do the work, but... you should understand my difficulty."
He took out another cigarette and smoked it, "Mayor Feng, I understand where your concerns are. I think you don't have to worry about such things at all. What are you afraid of? Everything we do is for work, those
Those who fail to succeed and fail will definitely be eliminated in the future. As an economic pilot area in the province, we should show a courage that others do not have. If you do it boldly, I will support you from behind."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Dong, since you have arranged for me to do this, I will try my best to do it well. Originally, when I went to Hong Kong this time, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to the entrepreneurs there.
Let’s have a good exchange.
I am thinking in my heart, if Hong Kong entrepreneurs can first invest in our Dongjiang, whether it is investment in industry or real estate. In this way, it will be very important to improve the quality of our Dongjiang city and from the perspective of external publicity.
beneficial.
For example, in terms of real estate development, it is obvious that the communities developed by Hong Kong and Macao companies are different. Their designs are very user-friendly, and the communities developed are all high-end communities, which are very attractive, because people regard such communities as high-end communities.
Nowadays, rich people are pursuing that kind of thing. Therefore, if such companies can settle in our Dongjiang, as a large number of wealthy people move in in the future and various commercial facilities are fully equipped, it will have a great impact on the future economy of our Dongjiang.
Form a virtuous cycle.”
After hearing my words, he immediately pondered, "Mayor Feng, let me see it this way. This time Mayor Sun will go to Hong Kong, because in terms of the current situation we are facing, there is no other matter that needs to be dealt with immediately.
We can temporarily put aside the matter of attracting investment to Hong Kong, and we can also send invitation letters to the other party, or send invitations to the other party for inspection through the channels of the Provincial Commercial Committee and the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor Feng, what I am most worried about now is that those projects have run away, and you must find a way to convince them. This is the top priority."
I nodded, "Secretary Dong, if I want to go to them to talk again, I have to completely deny many of the previous things, and I also have to understand why the talks collapsed at that time. Therefore, I hope you can convene the meeting.
A meeting to understand some of the situation clearly. I am worried that my abbot will not be able to control the situation by holding such a meeting."
He smiled and said: "Okay. We will have this meeting tomorrow. Mayor Feng, tell me the truth, why do you think you can't control the situation?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "After all, I am too young, and many people here may not know me very well."
He shook his head and said: "I don't think so. I think the most important thing is that your personality is too gentle."
I was silent.
Secretary Dong's words are correct. Although we have not been in contact for a long time, he has already discovered my weakness. In fact, this cannot be regarded as my weakness, because it is caused by my personality.
I don’t know if I have always had this personality since I was a child, or if it changed after I became an obstetrician and gynecologist. Anyway, I have become very cautious since I entered the officialdom. In my personal impression, in high school and college
I didn't seem to be like this back then.
Perhaps it was really the dangers of officialdom that made me become like this. And, I didn’t want to change.
At this time, of course, I also understood another meaning contained in his words: I asked him to convene this meeting as the abbot, actually hoping that he would share some conflicts for me. Therefore, he may have already developed feelings for me in his heart.
A kind of dissatisfaction.
But I think there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, he is the top leader and has great authority. But I am different. Not only am I young, but I also have very little qualifications. Therefore, many people doubt my ability.
It's a very natural thing.
When people have doubts about a person's ability, obedience will be poor.
I shook my head and said: "Secretary Dong, a person has his own personality, and personality is difficult to change.
But I feel that my personality will not affect my work. I just hope that Secretary Dong can give me some time.
The problem I face now is that on the one hand, I must not only get the work started as soon as possible, but on the other hand, I must be able to control the situation on the government's side."
He looked at me and said, "Mayor Feng, I understand what you mean. But why do I feel that you seem to lack confidence in yourself? I'm sorry, I sometimes speak very bluntly. Mayor Feng, let me ask you a question.
By the way, didn’t you do a good job when you were in Shangjiang City? Don’t your deputies all respect you?”
I smiled bitterly and replied: "Secretary Dong, the situation now is not the same as before. When I first came to Shangjiang City, I was just the executive deputy mayor. As a deputy, I did not need to make decisions on many things. I only needed to make good use of my execution."
Ability is enough.
It was because during this period I had established a good relationship with the other deputies and I did a pretty good job, so when I became the mayor, other people no longer doubted my ability.
But it's different now. Many people here don't really understand my past, and maybe they think that my past things were just for show. After all, people here are a bit conservative in their ideas, and they may not be able to believe that I am young.
So Secretary Dong, I hope you can give me some time. My personality is not that of a resolute person, but I can convince them with my work performance. I am very confident about this." (To be continued.)
