"Today's Standing Committee was convened at the suggestion of Comrade Tianxiang, mainly to listen to the operation of the province's economic situation in the first half of the year and to deliberate on the semi-annual statistical report. There is also the construction of the project and the change of equity in the Xicheng District of Hezhou City, and the nomination of the mayor of Hezhou Municipal Government. After seeing everyone sit down peacefully, Lin Dongsheng said briefly, and then added: "Actually, this meeting should have been opened a few days earlier, but because my old waist is not strong, I stayed in the hospital for a few days." In addition, there were several comrades who had such and such things, and Liu Shicheng of the Sega Group came to Hehai to investigate, so it dragged on. ”

Lin Dongsheng's words are meaningful and profound, although there are only a few words, but they imply a variety of meanings, which immediately triggered different reactions from everyone present, Lin Dongsheng did not seem to want to be too entangled in these, looked around the Standing Committee members in the conference room seriously, and said slowly: "Now please Comrade Tianxiang to start talking!" ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Lin Dongsheng's eyes looking at him, nodded slightly, looked around at the Standing Committee members with gentle eyes, and said calmly: "The statistical report for the first half of the year has been sent to the Standing Committee members for review in advance, and everyone has a preliminary understanding of the specific situation, and I have also heard some feedback, so I feel that it is necessary to make a special explanation to the Standing Committee members on these data and economic operations." ”

After Qi Tianxiang made a brief opening remarks, he looked at Lin Dongsheng who was sitting at the top of the long conference table again, and deliberately glanced at Hou Zhehai who was sitting opposite, and saw two faces with different expressions, so he secretly cheered up and said slowly: "Since it is a briefing, it is necessary to explain the situation clearly, explain the existing problems, and if the Standing Committee members have questions or details that they do not understand, you can raise them at any time, and I will explain them to you in detail." ”

Looking at the silent expressions of everyone in the conference room, Qi Tianxiang continued: "Whether the statistical report completely reflects the overall situation of the province's economic operation, I don't think it is necessarily, or simply say no. The statistics were reviewed and revised several times, and it can be said that they were started ahead of schedule, but it was not until a few days ago that the complete draft was finally obtained. The problem of data conflict and different provinces and cities is very serious, which is not only different in statistical caliber and collection methods, but also in the calculation method and data collection time. It can be said that there are two calibers and two sets of data in provinces and cities, and the difficulty of merging them can be imagined. ”

"This problem has been there for a long time, and it is not formed in a day or two, statistics are work at the provincial level, but the city is a political performance, the assessment method is different, and the things that are sorted out and reported are naturally different." Lin Dongsheng listened carefully to Qi Tianxiang's narration, and said thoughtfully and angrily: "Data falsification, adulteration, and water have become the main statistical work of the prefecture and city, and once it is done once, it has to be like this every time, in addition to the good looks of the data, there is also a shackle of growth rate around the neck every year, even if there is no specific growth rate requirement in the province, they themselves will be eager to do so." The balloon is blowing bigger and bigger, and the bubble is getting bigger and bigger, and there has to be an external force to help them reduce pressure, otherwise it will always be the successor who wipes the ass of the ex, and there will always be a day when they can't support it. ”

Comrade Dongsheng didn't say much, but he went straight to the point, and most of these problems that clear-sighted people could see clearly, not only in prefectures and cities, but also in counties and districts, and at the provincial level, when they submitted their annual economic reports to the State Council, most of them were also like this. Concealment of information at each level has become a habit, and it has become a big problem that is difficult to return. Hou Zhehai listened to Lin Dongsheng's emotion, and he was not to be outdone, and said: "If everyone doesn't solve the problem of the eye, it has become a common practice, just like the emperor's new clothes, if you don't say it, you will be safe, whoever has a foresight, even if it is just blurted out unintentionally, it will become a great disrespectful sin." Ignorant children can be forgiven, that's just the tolerance of the audience, will the emperor be so generous? ”

Hou Zhehai seemed to be very proud of his witty words and incisive metaphors, so he smiled and looked around at everyone, and then looked at Qi Tianxiang and said slowly: "All of a sudden, the economic growth rate has been cut in half, only 4.3 percent, which is a rare data in the economic development and growth of our province in recent years, although the total amount will not be too ugly, it can be seen from the data that the provinces have come out one after another, not only the top three, I am afraid that we will not be able to find our Hehai Province within the top ten." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Hou Zhehai seriously, he seemed to be concerned about him, but the mockery that was actually frivolous was very uncomfortable, especially when he answered Lin Dongsheng's words just now, he called Comrade Dongsheng's title, and felt that he was not good, and in connection with the recent abnormal phenomena, he suddenly became alert, looked directly at Hou Zhehai and said slowly: "The emperor's new clothes are objective, and the straightforwardness of children is just an intuition after discovery, or understanding, the sooner it is clear that the absurdity is easier to be stopped, and the easier it is to correct." In the final analysis, economic data is still a direct reflection of the state of economic operation, and it does not explain anything, nor can it be arbitrarily intervened by administrative means or orders of the chief, and the economic growth rate of 4.3 percent is still mixed with water, and if there is time to study it in detail, the figure may be even more bleak. ”

"This is only a reflection of the overall situation in the province's economic operation, if you look at the industry, or from the analysis of the economic structure, the double calculation of data, the general calculation of in and out, the confusion of long and short returns, is not a problem of a certain industry or city, but a problem of the whole, and what needs to be changed is this problem." Qi Tianxiang no longer paid attention to the change in Hou Zhehai's expression, turned to Lin Dongsheng and said seriously: "Structural contradictions are still the primary problem in the economic operation of our province, over-reliance on land income, real estate and urban construction are still the largest source of income, there is no new means for economic development, and the problem of disconnection between the three major industries is becoming more and more serious. It can be said that among all the data, the output of agriculture and farmers is the most real, there is not much room for maneuver here, and the biggest exaggeration comes from the market consumption field and the financial capital industry, which is also the place with the most bubbles. ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Lin Dongsheng's gentle expression, and then said: "Squeezing out the water is not to conceal the data, but to give the grassroots a space for adjustment, the semi-annual summary does not explain anything, for the statistical department and the city, it is just a test, and it is also a wake-up call for everyone. That's why it's going to be corrected repeatedly, this time it's the data, and the next time it's going to be the right person. ”
