Chapter 475 Agreed

After dark, the flood control and disaster relief headquarters is still brightly lit, noisy, and busy staff are constantly answering the phone, allocating manpower for flood control and disaster relief.

"Alas......" Mayor Wu Jingsheng was only able to calm down for a moment until this time, sitting on the sofa, he only felt that his body was sore, after all, he was already in his fifties, and he had been busy for more than ten days, and his body was a little unbearable.

But as the mayor, he didn't dare to slack off. Since the beginning of summer, the precipitation in East China has been nearly 30 percent higher than in previous years, and this has put great pressure on the flood prevention work in the Huaihe River Valley, which has suffered heavy rains, small rains, and droughts. Pengxu City is the intersection of the Longhai Railway and the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, which is related to the smooth transportation of the north-south and east-west railways, and the pressure is naturally greater.

If there are three long and two short, the flood will collapse the railway line, then the trouble will be big A while ago, the railway in Lu Province was interrupted because of the flood, causing heavy economic losses, and the local officials were reprimanded by the province, and the secretary and mayor were all demerit by the party, and several middle-level cadres were cut from their official positions. Wu Jingsheng is only 50 years old this year, and he still thinks that he can enter the ranks of the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government in his lifetime.

It's just that many of the water conservancy facilities in Pengxu City are the products of the sixties and seventies, and they have been running until now, and most of them are old and difficult to meet the original design standards due to the lack of funds invested in water conservancy construction. The economic development of Pengxu City in recent years is quite gratifying, and if a large number of emerging factories and enterprises are flooded, the direct economic losses caused will be enough for him Wu Jingsheng to drink a pot.

Wu Jingsheng closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa, but his mind was constantly thinking, this afternoon's sudden heavy rain, undoubtedly made Pengxu City's flood control and disaster relief work worse, although this heavy rain mainly fell in the urban area, but a large amount of rainwater along the sewer system into the river, Pengxu City around several rivers, in just half a day, there is a significant rise. And because the rain came very suddenly, the weather forecasting department did not make an accurate forecast, resulting in a large area of water in many places in the urban area, and many bungalows in the old city also collapsed because of the heavy rain, causing many injuries, but fortunately, during the day, there were no deaths. It's a blessing in misfortune.

But if in the next few days, whether it is upstream or urban areas and large-scale rainfall, in order to ensure the safety of the urban area, I am afraid that the flood storage area will have to be opened again, then it means that the number of victims in Pengxu City will have a big leap, at that time, how to resettle these victims, and the reconstruction of the disaster area in the future, will require a large amount of funds, he, the mayor, has heavy shoulders.

"Mayor, Secretary Zhou is here," the secretary whispered in his ear.

"Secretary Zhou is here, please please," Wu Jingsheng said in a continuous voice. Secretary Zhou, of course, is Zhou Jingming, secretary of the Pengxu Municipal Party Committee. The two of them can be regarded as fateful, and they both have a scene in their names. Sometimes the people at the bottom will also jokingly call them "Jingzi leaders". During the period when the two served as the leaders of Pengxu City, although there were frictions and contradictions, on the whole, they were a suitable partner.

Zhou Jingming is also in his fifties, and in the political arena, he can still be regarded as in the prime of life, so he naturally wants to go further.

"Lao Wu, it seems that I didn't come at the right time, disturbing your rest?" Zhou Jingming walked in with a smile.

"Whereever, it's just to grab a moment and catch your breath. Secretary Zhou, it's so late, what's the matter with you, just make a phone call, why did you rush here?" Wu Jingsheng let Zhou Jingming onto the sofa.

"Is there something that I can't say clearly on the phone for a while, or let's talk to you face to face, let's get a consensus first. Zhou Jingming also knows that the flood control and disaster relief work is heavy now, and no one has much time, so he doesn't go around in circles and goes straight to the point.

"Ahh Something big happened here, which actually alarmed Zhou Jingming, and he came to the headquarters at night. His heart suddenly lifted.

"Huh?" Zhou Jingming was also a little surprised, he thought that as long as he raised his head, Wu Jingsheng should be able to think of it, but looking at his current appearance, it seemed that he was completely unaware. "It's the matter of Carrefour supermarket donating materials, don't you know?"

"Carrefour Supermarket donated materials?" Wu Jingsheng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it the supermarket chain enterprise in Qinxi Province that donated 10 million yuan of materials to the flood control and disaster relief headquarters? What's wrong? What's going on?"

Zhou Jingming was even more surprised, looked at Wu Jingsheng and said, "You still don't know about this? Didn't Zhang Xuewu report to you later?"

"What to report?" Wu Jingsheng was a monk who was the second in his father-in-law, and he hurriedly called his secretary in from outside. Only then did I know that because Wu Jingsheng had been busy here, he had no time at all, Zhang Xuewu had already explained to him, and he had also said a few words to Wu Jingsheng at that time, and it was estimated that Wu Jingsheng was busy at that time and forgot about it.

"Secretary Zhou, what's going on with this Lefu supermarket?" Wu Jingsheng waved his hand to let the secretary out. Zhou Jingming then explained the afternoon's events to Wu Jingsheng in general.

"More than 30 million yuan of flood control and disaster relief materials is great, that's great." Wu Jingsheng was overjoyed, at this juncture, there were more than 20 million more flood control and disaster relief materials, but he had a lot more resources available for mobilization, although it could not completely alleviate the shortage of resources, but it was also a small supplement

"However, they asked to send someone to supervise the use of this batch of materials throughout the process, which has not been done by enterprises that donated materials before," Zhou Jingming accentuated his tone on the word "no". As the secretary of the municipal party committee, of course, it is impossible for him not to know that many of these officials at the middle and grassroots level are not so innocent in this area. Moreover, these people are intertwined in Pengxu City, and if they want to clean them up, it is him, the secretary of the municipal party committee, who can be arrested.

Wu Jingsheng frowned, he understood what Zhou Jingming meant, those previous corporate donations, never asked to send someone to supervise the use of these materials, if he said that he took the lead, would it cause any unnecessary trouble. At the important time of flood prevention and disaster relief, if there are some discordant things, it will also be a headache. "Secretary Zhou, I think it's reasonable, since it's a joint venture, then you have to respect the habits of Hong Kong, people are capitalists, every penny spent is their own money, of course, you have to know that it is used there, this kind of thinking, everyone understands. Isn't it?"

Zhou Jingming nodded silently, this is also human nature, don't look at those office personnel, they go to get office supplies every once in a while, print things, and throw them aside if they are slightly dissatisfied, that's because they are all public things, and they don't feel distressed at all when they are used. If there's something wrong with their pay slips, even if it's three or five cents off, they'll have to find out. What's more, this is a sum of more than 30 million yuan.

"And people also give face, more than 30 million yuan of materials, this is our Pengxu City, in addition to the state appropriation, the largest donation received, is those state-owned enterprises, don't they still have to spend their tongues to give a few million yuan. People donated more than 30 million yuan of materials and only claimed 10 million to the outside world, which also saved us from being difficult to be people, and this bit of face still has to be given after all. Secretary Zhou, people are joint ventures, and they are responsible to Hong Kong shareholders" Wu Jingsheng deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "Hong Kong".

Now that Hong Kong's return to China is imminent, this is a major event for the Republic at the end of the century, and whether or not Hong Kong can safely return to China has a bearing on the return of Macao and even the peaceful return of Taiwan in the future. If the stabbing of Lou Zi affects Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the central authorities will absolutely not be soft in dealing with it.

Moreover, today's Hong Kong, because of the imminent return to the motherland, is not very stable, many rich people are immigrating to foreign countries and transferring property, in order to solve this problem, the central government is very troubled, if Pengxu City accepted such a large donation, but refused the supervision of the other party, if the matter spreads, to spread the rumors, God knows what Zuihou will become, at that time, I am afraid that the two of them have more headaches than that, it is better to agree happily. Anyway, if someone talks about it in the future, they will directly use the big hat of guaranteeing the confidence of the Hong Kong people in the mainland government, and few people can afford it

Zhou Jingming naturally understood Wu Jingsheng's unspoken meaning, in fact, he had already thought of these truths on the way here

In addition, the Carrefour supermarket branch in Pengxu City will open soon, and in accordance with their previous practice, they will give priority to the work of the families of soldiers and martyrs of the police system in Pengxu City, which is also a support for the work of the Pengxu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. If there is a contradiction with Carrefour supermarket in this matter, it will be obviously unfavorable to the relationship between the municipal party committee and the municipal government and it in the future.

Carrefour supermarket has been able to develop to this point, not only because its managers are well-managed, but also because there must be a backer behind it, and it is impossible to offend the other party for this. He didn't plan to take any advantage out of it anyway.

"Lao Wu, then let's make a decision, tomorrow at the Standing Committee, I will put forward this matter for everyone to vote. Zhou Jingming stood up and said with a smile, "You should hurry up and rest." ”
