Chapter 264: It's a Good Cat
The diametrically opposed views of the two vice chairmen of the Economic and Trade Commission led to the failure of the "informal work conference" convened by Old Man Bai.
In our country, what is the purpose of convening a conference? Especially within the system, why are there so many meetings of all sizes and large every year? People in the mixed system will tell you: In fact, the main purpose of convening a conference is called "unifying thinking."
People who can mix in the position of Old Man Bai in the system are of course very clear about the essence of the meeting, and since there are two different opinions at this meeting, or even two completely opposite opinions, then naturally there is no "unified thinking". Since there is no unity of thought, there will naturally be no resolution.
"That's it for today, adjournment. β
Old man Bai announced with an expressionless face, his eyes wandered around the participants, and then added: "Xiao Zhang, and Ouyang, you two will stay for a while." β
After hearing Old Man Bai say this, no matter what other people's reactions were, in short, our Chairman Ouyang was overjoyed. There are many kinds of meetings in the system, but who in the officialdom does not know? Meetings are not always as good as the number of participants, and the more "small meetings" may often be more important in our country's characteristics.
Now the leader actually left himself for a small meeting...... "I believe everyone will be able to understand the surprise of our Chairman Ouyang at the moment."
Of course, surprises are surprises, and they must not be revealed on the surface. After the others left, Zhang Chi and Ouyang followed Old Man Bai to his office. This time, our Chairman Ouyang learned to be obedient, and before the others did not speak, he made up his mind that he would never speak first.
After returning to the office, it was a common scene in film and television works, the person in the upper position was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, pretending to be pacing back and forth, while the two subordinates were sitting precariously and waiting carefully.
"You say, why does that little guy have to contract that marble mine, can't we cooperate like we offered?"
But Chairman Ouyang quickly reacted, the "little guy" in Old Man Bai's mouth should be Li Huayong's. Don't look at Li Huayong, who has always been used to hiding behind the scenes, and the things on the scene are always handed over to others to do. However, it is still the same sentence, some information cannot be hidden, and the higher the position, the more information you have.
For example, these people here, they all know very well in their hearts that the young man named Li Huayong has played a very key role in so many things that have been done recently.
Just when Chairman Ouyang was still stunned, Zhang Chi spoke, and he was answering Old Man Bai's question:
"Because they are not down-to-earth! If they adopt our kind of plan to cooperate, they feel unsure, so they have always insisted on the contracting plan they proposed. β
Hearing Director Zhang Da answer Old Man Bai like this, our Chairman Ouyang finally couldn't help it, and he almost blurted out:
"Not down-to-earth? No, won't it? How can this not be down-to-earth? If that's the reason, then I think this young man's thinking is unrealistic, and what is there to cooperate with the government? Does he not trust our people's government? Or does he think that our people's government has no credibility? Tsk, what kind of thinking is this? Or, this kind of thinking is really unacceptable......
Old man Bai looked at Ouyang and didn't speak.
Zhang Chi looked at Chairman Ouyang and talked endlessly, but did not speak.
Chairman Ouyang's voice became lower and lower, and finally his chatter stopped by himself. Because he suddenly realized that he seemed to be making a mistake again.
What are you doing now? I am now "holding a small meeting," and if I want to say the biggest difference between a "small meeting" and a "conference," it is, of course, that when a "conference" is held, we need to talk a lot of false and empty clichΓ©s, while a "small meeting" does not need to be so much. Of course, if a person still lies and talks nonsense when he has a "small meeting", then is such a person still qualified to participate in any "small meeting"?
"It seems that we have to continue to learn and improve. β
After our Chairman Ouyang sighed like this in his heart, he carefully recalled what Zhang Chi had just said.
After carefully reminiscing, Chairman Ouyang had to admit in his heart that Zhang Chi's analysis was still very reasonable. In this day and age, there are many people who are worried that "policies will change".
In the 80s and 90s, there was a very interesting thing in our country, that is, propaganda departments at all levels often needed to emphasize such things as "unswervingly adhering to the general line" and "unswervingly adhering to reform and opening up." Why? The reason for this is simple.
Why is there a "Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women and Children" in this world? It is because these two groups are indeed vulnerable groups, and their rights and interests really need to be protected by law.
The reason why later generations often emphasized that "migrant workers' wages cannot be in arrears" is because for a period of time, this problem was indeed very serious, so this issue needs to be emphasized repeatedly.
In the same way, why is it necessary to emphasize that "the policy will not change" and "the general line will not waver" in this era? This is because before this, our country's policy was changeable, and people became unable to adapt to it, and people became troubled by gains and losses, and this is why we need to emphasize this issue repeatedly.
You can also notice that after the beginning of the new century, propaganda in this regard has gradually become less. Of course, this is not because this issue is no longer important, but because after that period, the process of reform and opening up has basically been in an "irreversible" stage, and there are fewer and fewer people who believe that "policies will change." There is no need to repeatedly publicize and emphasize this issue.
Going back to today's specific problem, the crux of all the problems now is on the marble mine. Chairman Ouyang asked himself if he signed this contract according to the plan proposed by the government, then he would definitely be "unsteady".
The reason is very simple, because the property rights relationship of the plan is extremely unclear, and the rights and obligations of all parties are extremely unclear, so once there is a wind and grass, Chairman Ouyang even thinks that there is no need for any "policy change", as long as the location of the marble mine is replaced by a chief official, it is easy to find an excuse to abolish the contract.
"So Xiao Zhang, do you think that if you contract that marble mine to them, will it cause the loss of state-owned assets as Lao Tian said?"
Just when Chairman Ouyang was still savoring "unsteady", he suddenly heard Old Man Bai ask such a question again. After hearing this question, Chairman Ouyang immediately pricked up his ears.
It should be said that this is the core issue of today, the reason why there were different voices in the previous conference, and the reason why Old Man Bai is still hesitant until now, is because of this problem:
If the marble mine is contracted to an individual, is this considered a loss of state-owned assets?
I have to tell the truth, in fact, our Chairman Ouyang has not yet understood this problem at this time, so he now very much wants to hear what Director Zhang Chizhang, the "master" in his mind, has to say.
Zhang Chi didn't answer this question immediately, he thought about it for a while, and then said word by word in a deliberate sentence: "Do you remember the price they offered some time ago when the Japanese offered to buy this marble mine?"
"Everyone knows this now, after the conversion of the relevant departments, the price offered by the Japanese is about 30 million US dollars, and they want to buy the marble mine. β
"That's right, $30 million, the price offered by the Japanese is a mere $30 million, but it's such a number, and so many people agreed at the time, thinking that we were a good deal. Let's take a look at Xiao Li's contracting plan, if you follow this contracting plan, the most conservative estimate is that the country's benefit from this marble mine is more than 10 times this number. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Chi stared at the old man's eyes: "I'm a little strange now, when it was only sold for 30 million, no one mentioned the loss of state-owned assets, but now someone can generate 300 million yuan for the country, but someone is holding on to this problem?"
After hearing Zhang Chi's words, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the old man Bai:
Okay, let's not mention this question today, you answer me clearly, if this marble mine is contracted to a private person, will this be regarded as a loss of state-owned assets?"
"I don't think so!"
Zhang Chi's voice was firm and powerful:
"Even if we don't mention the Japanese, I think we can all think about such a question now, if we don't contract this marble mine to Xiao Li, but set up a state-owned enterprise in the local area, let the state operate this marble mine, you can ask yourself, if this marble mine is a state-owned enterprise, then the country can have such a high benefit?"
Chairman Ouyang didn't squeak, and Old Man Bai didn't squeak either, they knew that Zhang Chi was telling the truth, if the marble mine was turned into a state-owned enterprise, then the country's final actual income might as well be sold to the Japanese.
After hearing Zhang Chi say this, Old Man Bai finally felt a little moved:
"What do you mean....... that little Zhang?"
"My opinion is clear. β
Zhang Chi waved his hand, looking very imposing: "Didn't the chief designer say that no matter whether the cat is white or black, it is a good cat if you can catch a mouse, and in my opinion, the young man named Li Huayong is a good cat." β
"Hahahaha. β
Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Old Man Bai and Chairman Ouyang laughed out loud at the same time. And at this time, Old Man Bai seemed to have finally made up his mind:
"That line Xiao Zhang, you form a report on what you just said, and I will report to the Standing Committee according to this opinion. β
Hearing Old Man Bai say this, Chairman Ouyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this matter should have been decided. But he didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Chi spoke again:
"Don't worry, leader, I have another idea that I haven't reported to you yet. β
"Hmm, what else do you have to do?"
"This time it's about the ceramics factory. β
Zhang Chi smiled and said to the two: "Didn't I say it just now, that little guy is a good cat, since he is a good cat, then he should catch more rats, that marble mine can come according to his meaning, but this ceramic factory can't cheap him, I mean like this......."
10 minutes later, Zhang Chi finished his thoughts, but unfortunately no one noticed, and when he finished speaking, even the usually serious old man Bai was full of smiles.
It's the most common smile on the face of a profiteer. And said again and again:
"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhang, your idea is good, your approach is better......."
Nanjiang Hotel, Li Huayong, who was waiting for a reply, of course wouldn't know that he was not only regarded as "a good cat", but also that several people led by Old Man Bai were shamelessly calculating themselves.
