It's easy to say casual, but in fact, it's far less casual, let alone casual, in society, and even more so in officialdom.

There are few people who can be casual in front of Qi Tianxiang, and there are not many officialdom in the province, not to mention lower-level officials, no one dares to ignore Qi Tianxiang's status and power and be casual. Members of the same level or team, unless it is intentional, this casual words and deeds will inevitably sever the relationship with Qi Tianxiang and produce unnecessary contradictions, no one is willing to do it easily, not to mention that at the provincial and ministerial level, even if no one deliberately asks for it, only with wisdom and self-restraint, it will not be too casual among comrades. Even if he is as tall and powerful as Lin Dongsheng, he will fully consider Qi Tianxiang's feelings and will not easily do casual things, which is a reflection of self-cultivation and political wisdom.

The so-called casualness can only be a symbolic existence, that is, after Qi Tianxiang and Sun Pingfang sit down, everyone can choose where they sit at will, but how big the circle around Qi Tianxiang and Sun Pingfang can be, it is not arbitrarily determined, who sits closer, who sits farther, there are also rules and exquisiteness. Among them, there are differences in the level of positions, and there are also differences in work focus, which are also arbitrary.

Rules and order are needed and exist in any aspect, and what is more important in officialdom, freedom and casualness can only be humble words in the mouth of the leader here, and they cannot be counted or taken seriously.

Seeing that everyone had found their seats one after another, Qi Tianxiang first looked at Sun Pingfang and smiled gently, and then slowly looked around at the people sitting around, and slowly said: "Please come here, there are two meanings, one is to actually take a look at the business status of the provincial Xinhua bookstore, and the other is to make the research more practical, this is the core area of the bookstore, in this book-filled environment, drink a cup of tea, discuss the feelings, I think it's very good." ”

Qi Tianxiang said slowly, his eyes were still slowly looking around, and then he said calmly: "I took a general look, and the reading area that was still empty just now suddenly poured in dozens of people, including those from the Provincial Department of Culture, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, as well as the Publishing Group and the Xinhua Bookstore Group, and of course, the news unit. It looks very complicated, but in fact, there are only three forms, research, reporting, and publicity, so it is simple. Of course, there are a lot of subdivisions, but I don't think there's any need to be so troublesome! ”

Qi Tianxiang's words were very calm and easy-going, it seemed to be like chatting, but the more easy-going it was, the more difficult it sounded to the people below, and they didn't know what Qi Tianxiang meant.

This is exactly the effect Qi Tianxiang wants, temporarily changing the location, just to break the convention, to speak calmly, but also to create a high-pressure situation. With the condensation of the air, Qi Tianxiang felt that the atmosphere was almost created, so he and Sun Pingfang glanced at each other, raised their wrists to look at the hand, pointed to everyone and said: "Time is not very abundant, the report of the publishing group has been heard in the morning, and the report of the Xinhua Bookstore Group will be listened to at this time in the afternoon, and the comprehensive report will not be listened to, in terms of personnel management and financial situation." ”

Qi Tianxiang clicked the question, paused deliberately, looked at Huang Wei, who was sitting on the side, and calmly ordered: "Governor Sun and I will listen to these two points, and we can start when we are ready." ”

Seeing Huang Wei's expression as he pondered his words and was about to start reporting, Qi Tianxiang raised his hand and signaled, and said slowly: "You wait a little longer, I think you might as well summon some employees over and have a discussion together." ”

After Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, he stopped talking, picked up the teacup, drank the tea slowly, and waited for Huang Wei's reaction.

Huang Wei listened to Qi Tianxiang's instructions, and became more and more nervous at the same time, and hurriedly turned around and whispered to Tang Hu, who was sitting beside him, and watched Tang Hu stand up and leave in a hurry, so he stabilized his mind, first glanced at Sun Pingfang, and then looked at Qi Tianxiang, and said with a smile on his face: "Vice President Tang went to arrange for employee representatives to come over for a discussion, it may take a little time, take advantage of this gap, do I first make a simple report to Governor Qi and Governor Sun on the personnel situation of the bookstore group." ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang nodding slightly, and after agreeing, Huang Wei took out a small book from his pocket, and after looking at it a few times, he said to Qi Tianxiang seriously: "Our Xinhua Bookstore Group was established on the basis of the original provincial Xinhua Bookstore, and it is a cultural enterprise that conforms to the needs of market-oriented development and strips off the functions of book market management and political book distribution. The group has integrated all the stores and employees of the original Xinhua bookstore system and established a bookstore system covering all parts of the province, with two provincial-level stores, 17 prefecture-level stores and 143 county-level stores. The total number of employees is 6,726, including 3,236 front-line workers and 3,490 administrative and retired personnel. ”

"Yes, this account is still very clear, and it is like a treasure in detail." Sun Pingfang interrupted Huang Wei's report, glanced at Qi Tianxiang, then looked at Huang Wei, and asked solemnly: "Administrative personnel and retirees are mixed together, what is the proportion of personnel who exceed the total number of front-line workers, Governor Qi and I are more interested in knowing." ”

Sun Pingfang's unceremonious interjection made Huang Wei, who was a little nervous, a little speechless for a while, so he hurriedly looked at Sun Pingfang, and said with a smile seriously: "Governor Sun's eyes are sharp-eyed, and he can't hide it from you at all, to be precise, it should be a pre-retirement and pre-departure personnel who have left the front line." This part of the personnel is currently in the stage of internal retirement and internal maintenance, the group has to bear many expenses including wages, benefits, and pension and medical co-ordination, the actual pressure is very great, not only makes the overall benefit of the group difficult to guarantee, the overall cost is also a large piece, overwhelmed! ”

Huang Wei's compliments and crying poverty did not mean anything to Sun Pingfang at all, but added to her dissatisfaction and anger, so she looked at him coldly and said: "The capital, the market, the personnel, and the gradually deteriorating social environment, do they all make it difficult for you to move forward and have many difficulties!" The advantages of the system and mechanism of the state-owned enterprises themselves, as well as the advantages of capital and labor resources, seem to have become a hindrance to the development of enterprises, and now it seems that there is only one way to go through the restructuring, but in addition to reducing personnel, I don't know what other tricks you have? Let's hear it. ”

Sun Pingfang seemed to be unable to suppress the anger in her heart, looked at Huang Wei, pointed at Li Mingfu again, and said majestically: "You can talk about it, in addition to legal person shareholding, management buyout, state-owned assets for cash sale, contracting or leasing operation, what else is new, let's talk about it together, so that Governor Qi and I can also open our eyes." ”

"Of course, there are many other methods, such as splitting, selling at a low price, mortgage authorization, introducing funds, equity splitting, and even asset replacement." Sun Pingfang's stern look and cold words made Huang Wei dare not speak anymore, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Qi Tianxiang lost no time in taking over the words, and said faintly: "All wishful thinking is concentrated in one point, that is, the management leads the restructuring, that is, the first-come, first-served idea, what about a different angle?" Is there still such enthusiasm for full participation, bottom-up reform, and transformation of state-owned ownership into collective ownership? Can it still be so enthusiastic? The so-called no profit is not early, there is no silver three hundred taels here, only thinking about their own interests and what kind of careful thinking, have you considered the common interests of the country, the collective, and the individual? ”

Qi Tianxiang said quietly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw some salesmen coming over with Tang Hu one after another, so he stopped talking, looked around at the people sitting around him, raised his hand and waved it a few times, signaling the people around him to sit in the distance or on the periphery, and leave the central position to the salesman of the bookstore.

Although Qi Tianxiang's gestures are not obvious, but the expression and movements are easy for people to understand, without too much arrangement and explanation, some of the accompanying personnel consciously stood up and walked to a slightly farther position, and soon the positions around Qi Tianxiang and Sun Pingfang were vacant, except for Huang Wei and other people from Xinhua Bookstore Group, that is, Li Mingfu and others from the publishing group.

Tang Hu just came over, saw this formation, hesitated, and hurriedly looked at Huang Wei to ask for his instructions, but what he saw was Huang Wei's gloomy face, so he didn't dare to think about it, hurriedly turned around, waved his hand and signaled to the salesmen who followed one after another, and took a seat nearby, and after a short hesitation, he slowly walked to his position just now, and sat down next to Huang Wei.

All this was observed by Qi Tianxiang's cold eyes, the expression on his face was calm and abnormal, even cold, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the arrangement, and it seemed that it was not just because of these, in short, Qi Tianxiang was in a bad mood, this is certain.

Seeing that the salesmen who came in a hurry were seated one after another, Qi Tianxiang's expression slowly became gentle, and he smiled slightly at a female comrade sitting next to him and asked slowly: "Temporarily convened for a symposium, it won't affect your work!" This time should still be relatively busy! ”

The female comrades didn't expect Qi Tianxiang to talk to her directly, her face turned red suddenly, as if covered with a layer of red cloth, and she nervously looked sideways at the group leaders not far away, but she didn't get any useful instructions, so she had to look at the sisters who came over together, but she was also at a loss, and she had no idea for a while, and she froze where with a red face.

Looking at the nervous expression and blushing face of the female comrade, Qi Tianxiang knew that his question was a little abrupt, so he smiled gently and said to her: "Don't be nervous, since we sit together and discuss, there is no superiority or inferiority, it is all for the future of the bookstore and the enterprise, that is, for everyone's personal interests, if you have anything to say, you can also put forward any requirements, if you can't solve it today, we will solve it, do you think this is good?" ”
