Chapter 078 Politburo Meeting

A military heavy bomber, with a huge roar, slanted into the sky and flew north.

On the plane, the colonel's liaison officer sent by the provincial military district accompanied the young plainclothes leader next to him and was talking about the military region's drill.

This smiling leader, who seems to be young, but people can't say how old he is, calm and affable, listening to his occasional inquiries and appreciation, the colonel's liaison officer's face gradually lost the previous caution and restraint, and his movements are much more natural, but the waist bar is still straight, and the double tuǐ is close together, showing the iron discipline of the soldiers.

The heavy bomber was dispatched by the military region on a temporary basis, and it flew to the capital for the young leader, not only to be responsible for delivering it to the capital, but also to take him back to Jinning after the leader was done. Naturally, this leader is none other than Comrade Xiao Chen, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial CPC Committee, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, first secretary of the Provincial Military District Party Committee, and director of the Provincial National Defense Mobilization Committee.

After General Secretary Gu Banglan returned from his visit to Brazil, he convened the members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and held a meeting of the Political Bureau.

Speaking of the Central Security Bureau, since Xiao Chen was elected to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, his security measures have been connected to several steps, and now he goes out to study, not to mention the side of him, there are always plainclothes guards secretly hidden around, these people are also commonly known as Zhongnanhai bodyguards, mysterious and magical. Of course, the mystery and magic are to the outside world, and to Xiao Chen, it is just the guard who taught him a few simple and practical self-defense techniques back then.

If you want to say that these guards are not powerful, of course they are powerful, all of them are good hands in a million, and there are countless skills in their hands, even Xiao Chen can't figure out how many "tricks" they have, anyway, they can drive any car, boat, or plane, they can use any strange things, and they will be temporarily dealt with if they are injured, but Xiao Chen has seen their simulated battles, but they are not as chic and handsome as in TV and movies, for this reason, when he was young, he also asked his cousin, in the words of his cousin Zhang Yicheng: " Can Shuai save his life and kill the enemy? To protect a leader, first of all, to ensure that everything is safe, and secondly, to deal with the enemy is simple, swift, and deadly. You said that you beat someone in the movie, and the mō gun came out and put a 'broken death', then you asked, it must have hung up. ”

These guards are now a little with them, and they even boarded the military plane, and they were still checking Xiao Chen's parachute bag for potential safety hazards just now. Because in their view, although the possibility of being able to parachute the party and state leaders in peacetime is so small that it is almost equal to zero, but it is almost after all, and their job is to prevent this almost happening, so what should be inspected is still to be checked, even if this aircraft is the best and latest used by the military region, even if the equipment and facilities on the military plane have been inspected when the military was in the military, but in their place, this process is still indispensable, this is their duty and honor.

The black Sè Volkswagen Phaeton sedan, which looked very similar to the Passat, drove into Zhongnanhai under the protection of the two military vehicles in front and behind, and the young leader who got out of the Phaeton was none other than Xiao Chen, a Politburo member who attended the Politburo work meeting for the first time. As soon as he got out of the car, three more cars drove up behind him, the same as he had here, and in the middle was a black Sè Phaeton sedan, which also stopped next to them.

Xiao Chen smiled, and walked towards Wang Haikuo, a member of the Politburo and secretary of the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee, who came out of it, and took the initiative to smile and stretch out his hand: "Comrade Haikuo, how are you doing lately?" ”

This sentence was asked more generally, but Wang Haikuo seemed to hear something, smiled and shook Xiao Chen's hand hard, and shook it: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The two extremely ordinary dialogues, the guards around them didn't hear anything, but Xiao Chen and Wang Haikuo looked at each other very similarly.

Wang Haikuo pulled Xiao Chen and stretched out his hand to lead: "Although you are more familiar with Zhongnanhai than me, I am afraid that I am still a little more experienced in the Politburo meeting, come, there are still fifteen minutes, let's go to Huairentang to rest, five minutes later the other committees will arrive, ten minutes later the six Standing Committee members will arrive, and then three minutes later Chairman Xiao and the prime minister will come, the general secretary will definitely appear on time, so now we can still talk about the situation in Lingnan and Jiangdong...... To be honest, I'm stressed. ”

Xiao Chen and Wang Haikuo walked towards Huairentang with a smile and nodded: "Everyone has pressure, Lingnan is the leader, this pressure must be the greatest, I can understand." ”

Wang Haikuo shook his head slightly: "I don't care so much if the leader is not the leader, to be honest, I am very envious of the situation in Jiangdong now, third, it is not very rare to send Qidong, now in the past four years, it has surpassed Qidong by 500 billion, this is the corner overtaking technology is good, but it is a pity that the work of Lingnan is not so easy to do......"

Xiao Chen glanced at Wang Haikuo, and couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, the local forces in Lingnan have always been strong, and the secretary of the provincial party committee sent by the central government in Lingnan actually felt that the work was a little "not so easy to do" with the prestige of the Politburo members, which shows the unity of its local forces.

Wang Haikuo saw that Xiao Chen didn't speak, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Comrade Chen Xian and Comrade Xiao Chen are classmates in the party school?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, the first time it was a class, the dormitory next door." ”

Wang Haikuo nodded, thought for a while, and didn't speak, and at this time the two had already arrived in Huairen Hall. How the decoration in Huairentang is not within the scope of the two of them at all, the two went directly to the side hall lounge and sat down, Wang Haikuo only then gently tapped his fingers on the table, and whispered: "Comrade Chen Xian is in the provincial party committee, and he has a very good position." ”

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and nodded: "I know." ”

Wang Haikuo laughed: "Good, good, that's good, Lingnan and Jiangdong, the two development leaders of one south and one east, must join hands to be the most powerful." ”

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded slightly.

At this time, the rest of the committee members gradually came in, among which Xiao Chen basically took the initiative to say hello, of course, this is not surprising, Xiao Chen is 100% a junior for these committee members, like Li Yunxin's father Li Mingzhao, who is now the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Yu Zhengsheng, secretary of the Dongfang Municipal Party Committee, is Xiao Chen's second uncle, and Hou Dongxiang, secretary of the Dongchuan Municipal Party Committee, is also Xiao Chen's elder who wants to call his uncle. Not to mention that many of them also have the background of Old Man Xiao and Xiao Zheng, although it is inconvenient to say more at this time, they must be greeted.

Uncle Xiao Zheng and the prime minister came together, for the nephew who was in a meeting with him, the uncle could not avoid anything, but he didn't say much, but the prime minister asked a few words about the situation in Jiangdong, and the prime minister was very happy about Jiangdong's improvement in the construction of affordable housing, but he also reminded that it was necessary to pay attention to the emotions of cadres. Xiao Chen smiled and said that he knew it in his heart, thank you Prime Minister for reminding him.

Of course, in fact, when everyone arrives at this position, they all know that although the general secretary smiles a lot on TV and newspapers, it is when he goes to the countryside to investigate and inspect and so on, and the general secretary has always been more serious or even a little stern for middle-level or high-level cadres.

The process of this meeting was actually lackluster, everything was in order, Xiao Chen, as a new member, did not speak much, basically just expressed his approval, and it seemed that he was a member who raised his hand. However, the prime minister spoke several times, and most of the views mentioned were those that Xiao Chen had always adhered to, which can be regarded as a manifestation of Xiao Chen's opinions beginning to be gradually taken seriously.

On 27 November, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting to analyze and study next year's economic work. Gu Banglan, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, presided over the meeting.

The meeting held that this year is the most difficult year for China's economic and social development since the new century, and it is also a year in which we forge ahead and withstand severe tests. In the face of difficulties and challenges such as the severe impact of the international financial crisis and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, which are rare in history, the Party Central Committee and the Government Council have made comprehensive analysis, made accurate judgments, made decisive decisions, and calmly responded to them, insisted on maintaining steady and rapid economic development as the primary task of economic work, adhered to a proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, and comprehensively implemented and continuously enriched and improved the package plan to deal with the impact of the international financial crisis. China's economic rebound has been consolidated, and remarkable results have been achieved in economic and social development. It is extremely difficult to achieve such results under the circumstances of serious financial turmoil, the world economy falling into recession, and the severe and complicated situation at home and abroad.

The meeting pointed out that there are many favorable conditions for maintaining the steady and relatively rapid development of China's economy next year, but we will also face many difficulties and contradictions. The whole party and the whole country must unify their thinking and understanding, strengthen their confidence, and be more thoroughly prepared to deal with all kinds of difficulties and challenges.

More attention should be paid to promoting reform and opening up and independent innovation, enhancing the vitality and driving force of economic growth, paying more attention to improving people's livelihood, maintaining social harmony and stability, and paying more attention to coordinating the overall domestic and international situations, so as to strive to achieve steady and rapid economic development.

It is necessary to focus on promoting economic restructuring and the development of strategic emerging industries, implement the plan for the adjustment and revitalization of key industries, intensify the use of new technologies to transform and upgrade traditional industries, increase investment in research and development, increase independent innovation, accelerate the cultivation of strategic emerging industries, and actively support the development of small enterprises and service industries. It is necessary to consolidate the foundation for the development of the agricultural and rural economy and the increase of peasants' incomes, improve the policy of strengthening agriculture and benefiting farmers, strengthen the construction of agricultural and rural infrastructure, and do a good job in regulating and controlling the agricultural product market. It is necessary to do a good job in energy conservation and emission reduction, strengthen the target responsibility system, speed up the construction of key energy conservation and environmental protection projects, and actively respond to climate change. It is necessary to raise the level of an open economy, improve the policy of stabilizing foreign demand, promote the steady growth of foreign trade, actively expand imports, improve the level of utilization of foreign capital, and promote the foreign investment and cooperation of enterprises. It is necessary to actively promote urbanization and coordinated regional development, improve the comprehensive carrying capacity of cities and towns, implement the state's plans and policies for promoting regional development, and actively support the accelerated development of old revolutionary base areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas, and poverty-stricken areas. It is necessary to deepen the reform of key areas and key links.

The meeting also looked at other matters. For example, on issues such as organization and personnel, discipline inspection, food safety, and mine safety, Xiao Chen only said a few words on the organization and personnel, which was about further tightening the management of cadres, and won the approval of the general secretary.

On 18 December, Gu Banglan, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission, issued an important instruction, stressing that it is necessary to grasp the key and difficult problems that are highlighted by the cadres and the masses at present, unswervingly promote the reform of the cadre and personnel system, and actively explore and innovate while also advancing it in a steady and orderly manner.

Xue Yuanlan, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, and vice president of the state, also issued instructions calling for conscientiously implementing the "Outline of the Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Cadre and Personnel System from 2010 to 2020" and making greater strides and achieving greater results in establishing and improving a scientific mechanism for selecting and employing personnel.

With the approval of the Central Committee, the "Outline of the Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Cadre and Personnel System from 2010 to 2020" was officially issued. On the basis of summing up the experience of previous reforms, the "Planning Outline" puts forward the guiding ideology, basic objectives, key breakthrough projects, and overall tasks for deepening the reform of the cadre and personnel system in the next 10 years, and sets clear requirements for promoting the reform of the personnel system of state-owned enterprises and institutions as a whole, strengthening the study and exploration of medium- and long-term problems in the reform of the cadre and personnel system, and strengthening leadership over the reform of the cadre and personnel system. The "Planning Outline" proposes that we must adhere to the principle of the party's management of cadres, adhere to the standard of having both ability and political integrity, and taking morality as the first, adhere to the principle of democracy, openness, competition, and merit-based selection, adhere to the direction of scientificization, democratization, and institutionalization, emancipate the mind, be brave in innovation, and strive to solve the key problems in the construction of the leadership group and the cadre team, the key and difficult problems in the cadre and personnel work, and the outstanding problems that the cadres and the masses have strong reactions to, establish firm beliefs, pay attention to conduct, scientific development, advocate hard work, attach importance to the grassroots, and encourage innovation. The masses have recognized the correct orientation in employing people, enhance the credibility of the selection and appointment of personnel, and gradually form a personnel system for China's special socialist cadres that recruits a wide range of talents, makes the best use of their talents, can be promoted and demoted, is fair, just, and full of vitality.

The reform of the cadre and personnel system is an important part of the reform of China's political system. In 2000, the central authorities promulgated the "Outline for Deepening the Reform of the Cadre and Personnel System," and in the past 10 years, major progress has been made in the reform of the cadre and personnel system, and the tasks set forth in the "Reform Outline" have been basically accomplished.

Subsequently, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee held a forum in Beijing on implementing the "Planning Outline" for the reform of the cadre and personnel system. Li Yuanzhuo, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, and director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, delivered a speech at the meeting, calling for the comprehensive implementation of the "Planning Outline" and unswervingly pushing forward the reform of the cadre and personnel system.

At this time, Xiao Chen had already flown back to Jinning by military plane.
