Chapter 40 The icing on the cake or the charcoal in the snow

Hearing Tang Zifeng's words, everyone was silent. Indeed, if the Ministry of Machinery can come forward to say hello, the industrial and commercial branch of a city will not dare to withhold the money. Everyone has also heard about the bank's tightening of the monetary system, and of course it is reasonable for the industrial and commercial branch to withhold the money of Linyi in this name. However, banks all over the country have issued hundreds of billions of loans, and where is there a shortage of hundreds of thousands of yuan?

However, Tang Zifeng was right, the fact that the money was withheld by the industrial and commercial branch was just a small trouble in the operation of the enterprise for Linyiji. If such a small trouble is to be solved by the ministry, what will the ministry think of the current leadership group? Everyone wants to make some achievements to impress the superior leaders, but now the achievements have not been made, but they want the superior leaders to wipe everyone's butts, are you embarrassed?

"I think this matter should be solved by the Linhe City Government. Ning Suyun said to Zhou Heng, "The Municipal Industrial and Commercial Branch is under the leadership of the municipal government, and we can't communicate with the Industrial and Commercial Bank, so we should go to their superiors to coordinate." Regarding the difficulties of Linyiji, the Linhe Municipal Government should be aware of it, and I think the city leaders should be more aware of the overall situation. ”

Zhou Heng nodded: "Xiao Ning is right. These days, I patronize the things in the factory, and I don't bother to go to the city hall to take a walk. Anyway, we are also an enterprise on the ground in Linhe City, and we have changed our team, so we have to report to the land lord. ”

Speaking of this, he turned to Fan Caihong and asked, "Xiao Fan, which leader in the city was in charge of the affairs of our factory in the past?"

It is Lu Zhenghong, the deputy mayor of the city who is in charge of industry, transportation, finance and trade. Fan Caihong replied.

"If you contact Mayor Lu, you will say that I want to visit him and ask him what time is appropriate. Zhou Heng said.

"Okay, I'll call in a moment. Fan Caihong responded.

Next, we discussed the contingency plan, in case the negotiations with the Industrial and Commercial Bank fell into a protracted period, and the wages promised to the workers would have to be delayed for a while, then the necessary explanation work had to be done, and the living relief of some difficult workers should also be taken into account, which was also very trivial.

After the meeting, Fan Caihong immediately contacted the municipal government. Hearing that the newly appointed factory director of Linyi Machine was going to visit him, Deputy Mayor Lv Zhenghong immediately modestly said that he did not dare to work on the big driver of the factory director Zhou, and he should personally visit the factory director Zhou. Of course, Fan Caihong knew that Lu Zhenghong's words were just a hypocritical politeness, so he also said some high-sounding words in the name of haha, and finally finalized the matters to meet this afternoon. As for the place of the meeting, of course, it is still in the city government, and it is impossible for Lu Zhenghong to really come to Linyi to visit.

At the appointed time, Zhou Heng took Fan Caihong and Tang Zifeng and came to the city government in a car. Lu Zhenghong sent his secretary Lu Wei to the downstairs of the city government to greet him, and when Lu Wei brought Zhou Heng and his party into Lu Zhenghong's office, Lu Zhenghong smiled and walked to the door to greet him, and then shook hands with Zhou Heng while apologizing that he was answering the call from the provincial leader just now, and he couldn't go downstairs to greet him in person, so he was really embarrassed. As for whether this is true or not, only God knows.

After a pleasantry, the guests and hosts sat down separately. Zhou Heng said: "Mayor Lu, I'm very embarrassed, in fact, I should have come to visit a long time ago, but Linyiji has just experienced a comprehensive replacement of the leadership team, and the management work is very chaotic. ”

Lu Zhenghong waved his hand again and again and said: "What did Director Zhou say, although Linyi Machine is a subordinate enterprise, but within the scope of our Linhe City, we are a family. Director Zhou took office, in fact, I should come to congratulate him, but during this time the city has been engaged in excellent work, I am also lacking skills, so I also let Director Zhou personally come to the city government, which is really unpleasant. ”

"I should have come to the city hall. Zhou Heng said, "Mayor Lu must also be very clear about the situation of Linyiji. In the past, there were problems in the style of the leadership group, which caused Linyi to fall into serious losses and became a burden to the state. The ministry sent me down in the hope that I could lead Linyi to quickly get out of trouble and turn losses into profits. To do this, it is inseparable from the strong support of the Linhe Municipal Government to us, and Mayor Lu said that I came to the municipal government this time to ask the municipal government for help. ”

Lu Zhenghong said: "Don't say anything about helping, Director Zhou." How can we call for help in the matter of Linyi Machine, which is also the matter of our own family? What does Director Zhou need to do from the city government, even though he is instructed, I, the deputy mayor, am not I just a waiter for the enterprise?"

Zhou Heng said: "Even if we let Mayor Lu be a waiter? Speaking of which, there are a lot of things that need help from the city government, but there is one thing that I am in a hurry at the moment, so I am in a hurry to see Mayor Lu." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Lu Zhenghong.

Zhou Heng told Lu Zhenghong about the repayment of the golden car but was intercepted by the municipal industrial and commercial branch. He said that the money recovered from Kingche is very important for Linyi to get out of trouble. With this money, the factory was able to pay wages to the workers and rekindle their hopes for the factory. The various reform measures of the new leadership group of Linyi can only be smoothly implemented in such an environment. And if this money is intercepted by the Industrial and Commercial Bank, it will be difficult to implement Linyiji's plan to get out of trouble.

"Is there such a thing? Xiaolu, do you know why?"

Lu Zhenghong asked his secretary Lu Wei with a dark face.

Lu Wei said: "Mayor Lu, I know a little bit about this situation. Since last year, there has been a boom in stocks, real estate, and development zones in various localities, and the scale of loans by financial institutions at all levels has gone out of control, which has aroused the attention of the central leading comrades. This year, the central bank proposed to tighten monetary policy, requiring all commercial banks to reduce the scale of loans and to recover the loans they have already issued in a timely manner. Not only Linyiji, many enterprises in Linhe City have been urged by banks to ask for loans, and many enterprises have also encountered situations like what Director Zhou just said. ”

"Is that so?" Lu Zhenghong made a pensive look.

The questions and answers of these two people, in the eyes of Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng, are a double reed. Lu Zhenghong must have known the reason why the Industrial and Commercial Bank withheld the funds of Linyiji, but he did not say it directly, but said it through Lu Wei's mouth. In this way, he is equivalent to an outsider, who has no knowledge of the matter, and the room for maneuver is very large.

Zhou Heng was not interested in playing with Lu Zhenghong, he said: "Mayor Lu, President Wei of the Industrial and Commercial Branch also told President Ning of our factory. Naturally, we cannot influence the policies of the state. However, when the state proposes to tighten the monetary system, it is not to take back the money indiscriminately, and if this is the case, then what else do the banks need to do? Banks are used to lend to enterprises, and what banks want to do is to help them in the snow, not to make matters worse, is that so?"

Tang Zifeng interjected beside him: "Director Zhou, what you said is not complete. When I was in college, my finance teacher said that in capitalist countries, the bank's policy is to hate the poor and love the rich. ”

"Are you talking about a bank in a capitalist country, and a municipal branch of industry and commerce?" Zhou Heng said.

Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "I don't know about this, should I ask President Wei to ask them to see if their branch is a capitalist bank or a socialist bank." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, why is the industrial and commercial branch not a socialist bank?" Zhou Heng said as he glared at Tang Zifeng hypocritically.

Lu Zhenghong's eyebrows furrowed, he had just sung a double reed with his secretary, and in a blink of an eye, the factory director and assistant also sang a double reed to him. The dialogue between Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng gave him a multiple-choice question: Is the industrial and commercial branch under your rule capitalist or socialist? In other words, are you a capitalist mayor or a socialist mayor?

At this time, the old man's southern speech has been widely conveyed, don't ask the surname of the company, such a statement, leaders at all levels know. But even if you don't ask about the surname, as a first-level government official, you still have to have at least political awareness. One of the key points of the country's work is to get rid of state-owned enterprises, Linyi machine is a subordinate enterprise of the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Machinery specially sent Zhou Heng to Linyi machine to be the factory director, leading Linyi machine to get out of trouble, Linhe City if it is dismantled at this time, it is a lack of awareness of the overall situation, and it is difficult to explain to the top and bottom.

It can be said that if Lu Zhenghong dared to say that he didn't care about the life or death of Linyiji, Zhou Heng would dare to drag him to the province to ask for an explanation. The president of the industrial and commercial branch can not talk about politics, but Lu Zhenghong can't help it, which is why Zhou Heng did not ask Wei Yonglin for trouble, but came to Lu Zhenghong for consultation.

"Xiao Lu, you call the industrial and commercial branch and ask Wei Yonglin to come over. Lu Zhenghong instructed Lu Wei.

Lu Wei went out to make a call, and Lu Zhenghong turned his head to Zhou Heng and said: "Director Zhou, this matter involves the business of the bank, and their business is also managed vertically, and I can't overstep the bounds." Is this good, I asked Xiaolu to call Wei Yonglin over, you can communicate here, and I will be a witness for you. When it comes to policy, I'm definitely on your side, what do you think?"

Lu Zhenghong has said it to this extent, what else can Zhou Heng say, he can only express his gratitude to Lu Zhenghong. Linyi is such a bureau-level unit, but it still has to look at the face of a deputy mayor, which is called Tiger Falling Pingyang being bullied by dogs.
