Chapter 80: Occasional Exposure (5)

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it was the first day of work after the New Year, and the leaders of various units in Tonggu County, the leaders of various townships and towns, and forest farms all rushed to the county government compound with their handbags and subordinates to greet the county leaders, the leaders of the higher-level departments, and the secretaries of the leaders.

"Secretary Sun, what are the leaders?"

"Shhhh ”

The meeting on the first day of work made the hearts of these heads immediately lift, looked at the closed door of the conference room with concern, and whispered, "What's the matter?"

There are no secrets in the government, even if the movements of the Standing Committee can be spread throughout most of the small counties in less than three hours, and the secretaries are happy to sell their favors.

"It's not a big deal, it's a pilot project of Chongxiang primary and secondary schools, and their principal asked that there be no contractors, and that they should hire workers and engineering team leaders to build their own teaching buildings and dormitory buildings. ”

It's really not a big deal, all units like to do this when they build dormitories, the power is in their own hands, and the benefits are the most, but the counties of more than one million infrastructure projects agree to do this, and these leaders still have a strong interest.

In order to seize the dominance of the project, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau demanded that the Construction Bureau conduct a public bidding, but was scolded by the veteran Director Hu as 'asking for money and shameless'; the heads of the first and second construction of the county went to the door with gifts, and as a result, the family turned around and distributed them to the cadres of the overall situation as New Year's materials. Now Director Hu, who claims to never accept gifts and is used to being brutal, actually asks that the contractor should not build it himself?

"Well, it's true, their principal made a military order, ready to use 1.5 million to build two full-frame teaching buildings, three student dormitories, and teachers' dormitories, and the seismic standard has reached level 7!"

exceeded the budget by 500,000 yuan, it was indeed going to be discussed at a meeting, and the leaders who had just echoed a sentence turned their faces and scolded secretly: "Crazy!"

It is indeed a madman, don't look at the budget of each building has reached 300,000 yuan, but to adopt a full-frame structure, not to mention that the contractor can't earn a penny, and even the people who handle it can't get a single hair! The people who are officials have to take care of them from top to bottom, isn't this self-defeating?

Cutting corners? That will die faster! This is the leaders' political achievement project, if the above comes to the acceptance, the quality is not up to standard, not to mention that the hat is gone, even the job will be fired, and if it is not good, you will have to go to the detention center to report!

Crazy indeed!

Principal Liu was moved by Boss Wang's plan, and was ready to go out and do a big job, anyway, the left and right would offend the leaders, so it was better to have a good time and build a new school with high standards, and it would also have a good reputation in the future. In order to convince the leaders of the county, he even went to the county cultural center to find two art masters according to Li Jiaming's method of teaching Boss Wang, and drew a panoramic view of the teaching building, dormitory and school in his mind overnight, which can be regarded as the first architectural rendering of Tonggu County.

I have to say that the skills of those two artists are good, and they painted the school built in the future beautifully, which made the leaders of the county party committee shine, and added a lot of convincing power to Principal Liu's plan. But when everyone really wanted to express their opinions, the leaders were silent again, and their eyes were looking at the notebook in front of them or the ceiling above their heads.

The people who can become members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee have antennas stuck in their heads, and they know the trends of the provinces and cities very clearly, and they are not at all blocked because they are located in the remote areas of Tonggu. The news that the principal leaders cannot be locals and that locals cannot account for the majority in the Standing Committee has been rumors since the end of last year. In other words, this year's term of office will be brought forward to September or October, when most of the local Standing Committee members present here will be transferred to other places, and the two non-local Standing Committee members will most likely be promoted to the position of principal leaders of the government or secondary leaders of the county party committees.

The additional budget of 500,000 yuan is not a big deal, and the county's financial situation has been very good in recent years, with last year's fiscal revenue reaching nearly 40 million yuan, and a surplus of more than 8.7 million yuan at the end of the year. The question is that the main leaders are leaving, and most of the Standing Committee members are also leaving, will this 500,000 yuan become a prelude to spending money before leaving office!

Iron official positions, flowing officials, leaders before leaving office will not consider their successors, and some excessive former leaders will even borrow money to make political achievements, leaving a good-looking and useless mess for their successors. If the successor is transferred from other places, everyone will naturally be happy to see it, anyway, most of the people have to leave, and there is no such thing as eating alone in the officialdom, and the emphasis is on the benefits of even-dipping, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

But the problem is, the next leadership team.

Nine times out of ten, the main leader of the government is Deputy Secretary Zhong, the secondary leader of the county party committee may be Minister Zhang, and four of the five local standing committee members are also very likely to go, so there are many elbows. People are gone, the family can't leave, and the children and nephews have to rely on others to take care of them, who wants to offend the main leaders of their hometown in the future?

Secretary Cai, the leader of the county party committee, is not a local, but he used to be the head of the organization department and the executive deputy county magistrate in the local area. The biggest achievement of his tenure was to cooperate with the county magistrate Guo to repair a large section of the reservoir that collapsed decades ago, so that all villages in the county have electricity.

"County Magistrate Guo, President Liu's plan is to add 500,000 yuan to the budget, what is your government's opinion?"

Secretary Cai's questioning is unconventional, but he is the squad leader of the county party committee, and it is his right to decide the order of questions, and it is also his right to decide on certain topics to be discussed and voted on by the Standing Committee, and it is even his right to veto a certain proposal on the Standing Committee.

County Magistrate Guo and Secretary Cai had some tacit understanding, but they would not follow his words to express their opinions, pointed to Principal Liu, who was nervous at the speaker's seat, and jokingly said: "Principal Liu, your plan is very good, but can 1.5 million be built? Don't fool people with some beautiful words, I know what infrastructure is going on better than you." Do you think that when the project is halfway through and the money is not enough, you will come to us and cry poor?"

Principal Liu, who had already been released, also heard some high-level movements from Director Hu, and hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Guo, let me tell you the truth, 1.5 million yuan is indeed not a school on the painting, it can only be built in a general appearance, but I guarantee that there will be absolutely no problem with the teaching building and dormitory!"

"How much will it take to build it all?"

Principal Liu, whose heart was about to jump out of his chest, said with a numb heart: "Two million! As long as there are two million, not only can the canteen, the stadium, the fence, and the road of the primary school be built, but also the hill behind it can be turned into a garden." ”

The executive deputy county magistrate is a local, and he is also determined to move the nest, of course, he also wants to let the villagers read it well in the future, looked at the eyes of the secretary and the county magistrate, frowned and said: "The premise is to appoint a contractor and manage the project independently?"

Principal Liu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Mr. Wang of Hongtu Company promised to provide workers and equipment for us to build by themselves, and they only charged a management fee of 7% of the total cost of the project.

County Magistrate Yang, if we follow the current infrastructure contracting model, it is impossible for us to build five full-frame teaching buildings and dormitory buildings with 1.5 million yuan! If the project funds are not managed independently, or are managed by the Finance Bureau, the Education Bureau, and the Township Finance Office, unless you, the secretary, or the county magistrate personally grasp the project, there will be problems sooner or later!"

This is not a good sound, but it is an objective fact, and I am afraid that there will only be 800,000 left in the account of the county finance bureau at most of the special fund of one million. If it weren't for the main leaders' political achievements and the imminent departure, and then through the Finance Bureau, the Education Bureau or the township government, it would be good to finally be able to get 700,000 yuan in the hands of the school. The same is true for the additional 500,000 extra-budgetary funds, if the school is not allowed to manage independently, I am afraid that in the end, there will be two or three hundred thousand left for the project, even if the leaders at all levels are very kind.

The leaders here have all come up from the grassroots level, and they have not built the teaching buildings and student dormitories, but they have certainly built the staff dormitories and cadre dormitories. 1.5 million yuan to build five full-frame buildings is not expensive, it can be said that everything that can be saved is saved, and the handler can't get a single hair. If it is operated according to the usual practice, after the funds have been plucked layer by layer, the project unit is also required to complete the project according to quality and quantity, and the person in charge of the project unit can only find a rope to hang.

Of course, Wang Zhenguo, the contractor, does not lose money, does not need to advance funds, and does not worry about the final payment, and takes his project management fee with peace of mind. It is said that it is less money, but if those extra gray expenses are removed, it is really impossible to tell whether the contractor is cheap or at a loss.

Damn, Wang Zhenguo's eight lambs are really real people and don't show their faces, and they have come up with such a way to lack morality!
