Chapter 62: People from Provinces and Cities (Part II)
Coming to this pavilion in the villa area, Ji Kai invited the governor and the secretary and mayor of the city to take a seat.
Coincidentally, Yoko Kitagawa and Keiko Duanmu came over with a tray and a kettle, and then the second daughter performed the kung fu of making tea with the traditional tea art of RB, which won the unanimous praise of the governor and others, but unfortunately Ji Kai didn't know the tea ceremony at all, so he could only smile and nod, and then let the second daughter put down her things and return to the villa.
Ji Kai greeted the three bigwigs to tea diligently, and did not continue to guess why the leaders came to see him, anyway, he just didn't ask, and there would be an answer in the end.
After the governor took a sip of tea, he looked at Ji Kai tasting tea there, he was not professional at all, and it was estimated that Ji Kai was waiting for him to say what he wanted. Looking at his watch, the governor knew that he had not much time and that he would have to attend the provincial economic meeting in the province in an hour. Today, he was able to find time to come over to meet with Ji Kai, it wasn't that he received a commission from a special department in the capital last night, otherwise a nouveau riche wouldn't be worthy of his condescension.
"Mr. Ji, I know that you have worked in the state-owned enterprises over there for ten years in the steel city, I wonder if you have any special opinions on the current system of state-owned enterprises and other aspects?"
When I was in a state-owned enterprise, I had always been a front-line worker, and I really didn't have much to say about the system in the state-owned enterprise. Because I don't understand it, I usually don't care about these things, after all, I am in his position and seeking his job. Ji Kai didn't know what the purpose of the governor's words was, he said the truth.
"Hehe, it's okay, what I want to listen to is what the front-line workers really think. You can talk about it, and I'll listen to it as you like, anyway, you don't work in a state-owned enterprise now, you can speak freely!"
Seeing that the governor said this, Ji Kai thought for a while and said:
"When it comes to talking about things in state-owned enterprises, I don't know what to say for a while. You can only say whatever you want. When I first joined a state-owned enterprise, it was at the end of the glorious period of the unit. At that time, I heard that the unit used to send something from time to time as a welfare treatment for employees.
When I arrived, the steel efficiency was not bad, and I heard that the railway tracks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were produced by our company, which was known as the most advanced rail technology at that time. But later, I slowly didn't know what the reason was, and suddenly there was no follow-up.
Although the newspapers and magazines in the state-owned enterprises are registered every month, which unit has invented something, which unit has come up with what good ideas, which unit has reduced costs and increased efficiency, and so on. However, the further back on, wages have not been raised, and they have not been able to keep up with the increase in prices.
Enterprises have always said that the economy is sluggish, and they are losing money every year. However, I remember that an oxygen plant was said to have been reorganized in a joint venture with a German company when it was facing bankruptcy, and then suddenly the profitability went up. I remember very well that at that time, the wages and benefits of the oxygen transmission plant were improved, and even the medical oxygen used in the hospital was produced by that oxygen plant.
In this regard, I can't figure out why the efficiency has been losing money when I was a state-owned enterprise, but once the joint venture with a foreign enterprise is reorganized, the efficiency will immediately rise. What is the reason for this? Is it the management system, or the technology? I have only heard about it, and I don't know the specifics.
A few years ago, after Gangcheng was reported by CCTV that state-owned enterprises were seriously polluted, it seemed to have been rectified for a period of time, but it didn't seem to have changed much. Over the years, it has been said that environmental protection is under great pressure and enterprises are suffering serious losses, and they have been talking about the arrival of winter.
Many factories and mines have been merged and reorganized, but now I heard that the benefits are better, but the wages of workers have not improved. Take the unit I worked in at the time, after being merged, they were all from the same factory, but the salary and treatment of different positions in the same position were really different. We sometimes say below, are we really raised by little mothers, otherwise why do we do the same work, but the difference in money we get is almost half?
Later, for many things encountered at work and my own lack of psychological tolerance, I took the initiative to put forward the idea of resignation, and then you should know the rest of the things. ”
After listening to Ji Kai's words, the governor thought about it silently, Ji Kai saw this, and at this time, he had to give the leader a cigarette. Couldn't it be that he had only left the state-owned enterprise for a few months, and this was not clear? Hurriedly handed a cigarette to the three leaders respectfully, and one by one, Ji Kai lit a cigarette for himself and took out a paper towel as a temporary ashtray.
"I don't know what Mr. Ji said. When I went down to inspect the company, the workers were confident that they would help the company tide over the difficulties, and I had never heard of such a truth. It seems that I will have to go down and take a good look in the future, and I must change the current situation of front-line workers' poverty.
I just heard Mr. Ji mention the issue of environmental protection, I wonder what you think about the environmental protection reform in our province?" said the governor after taking two puffs of his cigarette.
"Environmental reform is good! I'm telling the truth. When I came back for the Chinese New Year last year, as soon as I arrived in Chengdu, my mobile phone immediately showed haze and poor air quality, but after returning in early September this year, I found that there was no haze and the air quality was very good. I heard that this is all due to the relevant requirements made by the province for some polluting enterprises, and this is the change. "Ji Kai, this is really telling the truth.
"That's the good side, but I don't know if there's any bad side?"
"I'll be honest, I don't know what the reason is, anyway, now the price has risen suddenly, as soon as I go shopping, I buy fish seasoning, and other bosses say that because of environmental protection reform, the price of fish seasoning has risen. There are other things like this, and I wondered, why is the price increase of something related to environmental reform?
Last time, when I visited a classmate in a district and city in Rongcheng, I heard him say that his family's pig farm could not be opened, because of environmental protection requirements, pig manure and other pig manure were not allowed to be discharged at will, and it was not even used to fertilize the fields, saying that manure would pollute groundwater. So his family can't raise pigs anymore, and I was thinking, won't the price of pork also rise now!
Leader, what are the reasons for this?" asked Ji Kai.
"Oh, there is such a thing? It seems that this environmental protection reform, we are still not thinking about it perfectly! It can affect the daily life of ordinary people, and I will let people implement the situation after I go back, and we still need to carefully consider environmental protection before making a decision, we can't do everything one size fits all, that is going to be a problem." ”
The provincial governor looked at his watch, extinguished the cigarette butt that was about to burn out in his hand, and said to Ji Kai:
"Hey, I originally wanted to have a good chat with Mr. Ji, but unfortunately, I have no skills! I have an important meeting to attend later, so let's do it today, on behalf of the people of the province, I welcome Mr. Ji to come back at any time, and you can tell me if you have any suggestions or investment ideas. Secretary Liu, you don't have to go to the next meeting, let Mayor Wang attend, and when he comes back, he will convey the spirit of the relevant meeting to you.
You stay with Mr. Ji, you must let Mr. Ji fully understand the development and changes of your city over the years, maybe Mr. Ji is happy, and he will take out billions of dollars to invest in you! Haha, by the way, I will also give Mr. Ji a copy of my contact information, okay, Mr. Ji, then we will leave, we will talk again when we have a chance, goodbye!"
