Chapter 102: The Temptation of Huge Sums of Money (2)

Yao Yi asked: "Dad, you said that Mayor Li is begging me? Why don't I understand the truth of this, he is the mayor, and he has power in his hands, how can he beg me? Isn't this obviously a joke?"

He Siyuan's father said: "Just kidding, what are you kidding? No one is joking in this matter, the facts are the facts. You don't know yet, these catering units are a burden deliberately thrown at him by the central government, if he doesn't beg you, hum, he will be very miserable at that time, do you think that he Mayor Li with two hum two generals, without being invited, came for nothing?"

Yao Yi asked puzzledly: "No, an official of his size, will be affected because he can't handle this little thing?"

He Siyuan's father said: "Remember, you know too little about officialdom, even the chairman of the Standing Committee of the Ninth Central Committee doesn't do whatever he wants. Now the central government is divided into two camps, one is the reformers and the other is the conservatives, and now the two factions are evenly matched, and this Mayor Li is an extremely cunning old slippery head, belonging to the centrist forces that no one can offend, and it is precisely because of this that the two factions are both wooing and suppressing him, and when they encounter some super difficult things, they all throw them at him. Therefore, this time, both reformers and conservatives advocated the reform of the catering units under the central government, and in the end, this burden fell on the shoulders of the centrist Mayor Li. ”

Yao Yi asked puzzledly: "This is a little wrong, the reform of the catering unit should be a matter for the reformers, why do the conservatives agree with it?"

He Siyuan's father said: "Well, you misunderstood, the conservatives do not advocate reform, but they advocate conservative reform, that is, on the basis of the original structure and on the basis of the planned economic system, carry out small-scale reforms, which treat the symptoms but not the root causes, that is, the reforms that give priority to the planned economy and are supplemented by the market economy; while the reformers advocate carrying out drastic reforms, demanding a change in the planned economic system, and gradually following the development path of the market economy, with the market economy as the mainstay and the planned economy as the supplement. So some economists call the former a conservative and the latter a reformer. For the reform of catering units under the central government, both conservatives and reformists have seen its serious drawbacks, especially the serious drag on the state finances, so the call for reform is very high, and it is also the first batch of key units that need to reduce the burden. ”

Yao Yi asked: "Since it is the first batch, why did you take it out until now, it should have been taken out a long time ago." ”

He Siyuan's father smiled and said, "Let me ask you, why do you have a headache with these units and are unwilling to accept them?

Yao Yi said: "Alas, I was to blame for this, I only saw the benefits, I didn't see the disadvantages, and I found out after accepting it, so I was fooled, if I knew it at the beginning, I wouldn't accept it." ”

He Siyuan's father said: "Okay, don't be stubborn, if you are given such a unit now, you will definitely be happy to accept it, because you have found that as long as these units go through private reform, deal with the problem of employees, and take the road of market economy, you can quickly see economic benefits." However, this is the catering unit is different, the central leaders have a headache, ten meetings in a row, and in the end there is no coordination, however, this Mayor Li is also unlucky, just returned from the overseas investigation, he came to a good start, using you and some of his political skills, so that Yanjing City's finances quickly improved, this time, but also to the reformers and the conservatives an interface and opportunity, the two sides maintain a tacit understanding, the most difficult courage to throw to him. Now both sides are watching Mayor Lee's performance. ”

Yao Yi said: "So, I did him a favor?"

He Siyuan's father said: "Don't think too much, you have done him a great favor, and he should be grateful to you, but whether he is truly grateful in his heart is another matter." Mayor Li has always been very deep in the city government, and it is difficult to figure it out, so the central government's collective embarrassment for him this time is that both sides want to see the details of Mayor Li, so as to lay the foundation for their next attack. ”

Yao Yi asked, "What if Mayor Li can't complete the task?"

He Siyuan's father said: "If it can't be done, then it's easy to do, what kind of position is the mayor of Yanjing City, and who on both sides doesn't want to control this position? As long as he Mayor Li can't do this, the next step will be used by the central government as an excuse to transfer him out of this place, and from then on, he, the centrist, will stay away from the political center, so I think I'm sure he will beg you to do something." ”

Yao Yi asked again: "Dad, is Mayor Li so stupid and willing to be at the mercy of this?"

He Siyuan's father said: "Politics is like this, it depends on strength, and if you don't have power, you will be at the mercy." Reformers and conservatives put pressure on him at the same time, and all he could do was grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. ”

Yao Yi said: "What is the difficulty of the reform of this catering unit for the central government?"

He Siyuan's father asked, "What is the difficulty for you to accept them?"

Yao Yi thought for a while and said: "What I'm more afraid of is that many leaders are used to eating white food, and when it comes to me, they still eat white food, and I don't dare to offend these leaders. ”

He Siyuan's father said: "Yiyi, you are hitting the nail on the head, and this is also the case. It's not just you who are worried, but also those central leaders. If you think about it, the two factions, the other faction does not have its own power in various ministries, departments, and bureaus, and forbidding them to eat white food is tantamount to digging their own graves, and that faction is not willing to do such a thankless thing, but the country's financial situation forces them to do it, and in the end they can only do it to the centrist Mayor Li, so that they can not only clean up Mayor Li, but also achieve their goals, and avoid the incident of cannibalism, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone. ”

Yao Yi asked: "If Mayor Li finally completes the reform of these catering units, in that case, they will not kill three birds with one stone, but only kill two birds with one stone. ”

He Siyuan's father smiled and said: "Hehe, Yiyi, you are still too simple, things are not as simple as you imagined, even if he Mayor Li successfully completes the reform, he himself will consume a lot of strength, and he will be in a slump in the political world from then on." ”

Yao Yi asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
