Hua Nianping booked a train ticket back to Beijing for the night of New Year’s Eve.
Before he left Huaishang, he presided over the last working meeting of Enyuan Group before the year.
In addition to arranging pre-holiday condolences for veteran cadres and laid-off workers with difficulties in life, the meeting focused on the Spring Festival holiday duty of group leaders, the construction of the Wanshui Gate Dam on the Huaihe River, and the Enyuan Group's work during the city's CPPCC and the "Two Sessions" of the National People's Congress.
Work reports, etc.
Regarding holiday duty, Hao Cheng proposed a seven-day holiday, with the executive deputy general manager Huang Chunrong leading the team to be on duty for one day, and the three vice presidents Wu Yuqing, Chu Kangjian, and Ge Cunyi each to be on duty for two days. In terms of maintaining public security during the holiday, from the third day of the year on
Starting early in the morning on October 1, the forest police station and the security department under the forest police station sent people to cooperate with the relevant city departments to strengthen community patrols.
Wu Yuqing said that the security situation during the Spring Festival this year is expected to be much better than in previous years. The reason is that Qin Xinjun and Qiu Biao, the two largest illegal social leaders in history who have been entrenched in Huaishang for a long time, have been brought to justice.
Qin Xinjun has been sentenced to three years and is currently serving his sentence. The case against Qiu Biao's criminal behavior has also been formally filed, and the trial is scheduled to be completed in the first half of the year.
Regarding the Huaihe River Wanshui Gate Dam Project, Huang Chunrong said that this is a key project directly arranged by the national water conservancy department. Because it is located within the reclamation area of Enyuan Group, the province requires high attention.
Huang Chunrong suggested that Hua Nianping personally serve as the commander-in-chief of the project, and that he and a deputy mayor in charge of Huaishang City should serve as deputy commander-in-chief. Qian Yinxu, chief engineer of the Huaihe Committee, would be specifically responsible for the project construction.
Hua Nianping said that there was no problem for him to concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief, but he looked at the construction period plan and thought that the two-year construction period was too long. He suggested that the construction plan be re-evaluated and strive to be within one and a half years, or shorter.
The Wanshui Gate will be put into operation by the end of the year. This year, the construction of the dam must be completed.
Regarding the Enyuan Group’s work report at the city’s “Two Sessions”, the meeting discussed it for a long time.
Enyuan Group's subsidiaries include industry, forestry, military reclamation, agricultural reclamation and various social services and public welfare undertakings. It spans two counties and one district in Huaishang City. It plays an important role in the economic development and fiscal revenue of Huaishang City. It is both a first-level government body and a business operator.
units, so in accordance with the province’s unique regulations, special work reports must be made at the city’s “Two Sessions” every year.
This year, because Hua Nianping came to Enyuan Group for the first time, the "Two Sessions" will also follow the procedures to conduct a nomination vote for the temporary acting commissioner to be officially appointed as the general manager.
It is expected that the city’s two meetings will be held in mid-to-late February.
There were serious differences of opinion surrounding the "Enyuan Work Report" that Hua Nianping was to deliver at the "Two Sessions".
The reason was that Deputy General Manager Chu Kangjian first pointed out that he read several figures in the "Work Report" and believed that the group has maintained a double-digit GDP growth rate in recent years, but this year it has been reduced to 8%, and used
The words "strive to achieve" feel too conservative, and I suggest that the tone be at least "more than 12 percent."
Chu Kangjian also said that the quality of economic growth indicators involves the province's performance evaluation of the existing team, and must be carefully considered.
Hua Nianping explained that he personally modified this growth rate numerical indicator because, after conducting an investigation and analysis with the statistics department, he believed that the original draft of "continuing to maintain a GDP growth rate of 15%" was in line with the group's current actual situation.
The gap in economic development capabilities is too big.
Chu Kangjian said that Commissioner Hua has just arrived and may not have time to compare Enyuan Group's economic development achievements in recent years with other urban areas in the province.
He was quite proud to say that among the more than a dozen prefecture-level cities in the province, the economic growth rate of Huaishang was mostly at the bottom in the past few years. However, it has gradually increased in the past five or six years and now ranks third in the province.
The fifth and sixth sequences, during this period were all driven by the Enyuan Group.
Except for Huang Chunrong who remained silent, all the leaders present at the meeting basically agreed with Chu Kangjian's views to a greater or lesser extent.
Hua Nianping realized that this was a test for him to coordinate the thinking and correct understanding of the group's leadership team, so he proposed to adjourn the meeting temporarily.
When he asked Hao Cheng, he notified General Manager Zhou Yunlin of the power supply company and Director Jiang of the Group Statistics Department to rush to his office immediately.
After the adjournment, everyone returned to the conference room. Zhou Yunlin and Director Jiang were newly added to the meeting.
Hua Nianping first asked Director Jiang to report to the participants the statistics of the group’s economic growth indicators for three consecutive years.
Director Jiang said that the figures shown in the statistical reports are an average annual growth of a little more than 16%.
Hua Nianping asked Director Jiang, is this number the actual situation?
Director Jiang hesitated and did not answer directly. He only said that the statistics department had compiled it at all levels.
Then, Hua Nianping asked Zhou Yunlin to introduce the growth of Huai's power supply for three consecutive years.
Zhou Yunlin reported the average growth level from three calibers, saying that residential electricity was 19% per year, commercial electricity was 12% per year, and industrial electricity was less than 6%.
As for Enyuan Group's power supply caliber, the annual growth rate remains at around 5%.
At the end of the meeting, Hua Nianping stood up from his seat. Although his tone was calm, the heaviness in his heart was obvious.
He said: "We have now heard two completely different sets of statistics. The electricity statistical indicators of power supply companies. As we all know, they are iron-clad numbers that come out of the electricity meter. No one can adulterate them, but our city's statistics department summarizes them.
To put it bluntly, the numbers that have been passed are just adding moisture layer by layer. From a small perspective, this is fooling oneself and the people; from a larger perspective, it is deceiving the superiors and the country."
After a pause, Hua Nian calmed down his tone and tried to remain gentle before continuing:
"Of course, we cannot deny the economic development achievements of the group in history. Although former chairman Wang Huizhong and general manager Liu Hanqing violated discipline and law on personal issues, we must admit that both of them, including all the leaders here, have
Enyuan Group has made a huge contribution to the economic construction. At the same time, I would like to tell everyone that I personally do not object to evaluating and measuring leading cadres based on their political performance, but I completely disagree with the system of evaluating a certain person based on his or her temporary political performance.
All personal abilities and contributions, especially a clear-cut stand against false political achievements!"
Due to Hua Nianping's persistence, the meeting decided to submit the draft of the "Work Report" to the professional committees of the Municipal People's Congress for further comments.
After the meeting, Zhou Yunlin followed Hua Nianping to his office and took out a copy of the national security intelligence warning issued by the State Grid Corporation of China.
This intelligence warning provided by the national security department to the State Grid Corporation of China revealed that there are recent signs confirming that due to the impact of the consecutive major blackouts in North America, overseas strategic intelligence agencies have been eyeing my country's ultra-high voltage transmission technology.
The Huaishang UHV substation under construction will be one of the targets that these overseas strategic intelligence departments or other interest agencies will focus on in the near future.
Hua Nianping asked Zhou Yunlin if he should bring in Enyuan Group's team leader Qiu, who is in charge of discipline supervision, and Vice President Wu Yuqing, who is in charge of politics and law, so that they can jointly study preventive measures.
But Zhou Yunlin immediately stopped Hua Nianping, because according to the instructions of her superior unit, this national security intelligence warning could only be reported to the main local leaders personally, including the core leaders of the Enyuan Group, but not to others.
The scope of information disclosure shall not be expanded arbitrarily.
Hua Nianping expressed his understanding that this is to implement the national security intelligence handling principle of "tightening internally and loosening externally" under certain conditions.
Next, Zhou Yunlin raised the issue of site selection for the construction of the city center substation to Hua Nianping. This was something she had already mentioned when she first met Hua Nianping at the lakeside.
She said that she was already optimistic about the location of an abandoned warehouse of Enyuan Group and asked Commissioner Hua to come forward to coordinate the solution.
Hua Nianping promised that he would directly investigate this matter later in the year.
