Chapter 206 - Methods of Debt Repayment
Zhou Nan looked at Sun Wenge, and suddenly smiled faintly, "Mayor Sun, what do you think?" Let's talk about it. β
Sun Wenge was "turning over the river and the sea" in his heart, and suddenly heard Zhou Nan aiming the "spearhead" at himself, he couldn't help but be stunned, and was stunned for a while before he said in a low voice, "Secretary Zhou, I think there are two ways. First, drag. The situation in our towns is good, and some townships and towns have financial deficits as high as more than one million ......."
Before Sun Wenge's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhou Nan unceremoniously, "Now is not the time to compare, and the debts of other towns and towns do not mean that we can owe debts...... I want a solution to the problem and repay the debt, not an objective factor......"
Zhou Nan's words were very blunt, if it was before, Sun Wenge would definitely not be able to accept it, maybe he would be like thunder, but since he learned that Zhou Nan's "extraordinary origin" has quietly undergone some kind of change.
If you don't have enough confidence, it's not so easy to get hard again.
Therefore, Zhou Nan's bluntness at the moment only made him feel slightly embarrassed, but after a moment of embarrassment, he still argued with a red face, "Secretary Zhou, I am not emphasizing any objective factors, but to illustrate a problem: there is no big deal in debt, this is a normal official expenditure, and it is not spent on anyone...... So, don't be afraid of them making a fuss. Make it clear to them that this part of the money must be repaid by the town, but it must be done slowly, and it will definitely not be solved at once. β
"It's a way. There is also a way -- there are 51 establishments in the town, and there are more than 50 township middle schools, central primary schools, health centers, and so on, which rely on financial salaries. I estimate that the temporary suspension of everyone's wages for one or two months should be basically enough. β
As soon as Sun Wenge's words came out, Deputy Mayor Ma Zhongling frowned and objected, "Arrears of everyone's wages without authorization are against the law, and it will definitely cause bigger problems, and this method does not work...... If it gets to the county, we people will not be able to eat and walk around. β
Qiu Gang also opened his mouth to agree, and after a while, even Chen Jiangyu and Li Peng, who were former close friends of Sun Wenge, hesitated to speak out against Sun Wenge's opinions one after another. Seeing that he was now a lonely man who had become the target of public criticism in the town team, Sun Wenge couldn't help but be angry although he was somewhat restrained, he sneered and glared at everyone, and said angrily, "Then what do you say to do?" Where does the money come from? β
Zhou Nan was silent, and everyone was a little embarrassed to avoid Sun Wenge's menacing eyes. Only Ma Zhongling "responded" to Sun Wenge fearlessly, and cursed in his heart: It's all something you did, what are you pretending to be now? You are now pretending to be honest and honest, and dare to love us as the corrupt [***] cadres?
In Zhou Nan's office, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and dull, no one spoke, only the rapid gasps of everyone could be heard.
Zhou Nan watched coldly, and only interjected indifferently for a long time, "In this matter, I emphasize two principles. First, this part of the money must be repaid, delayed, inappropriate. How long is it going to be delayed? Next year or the year after? There is no money now, and there will be money next year and the year after? Avoidance is not the way to go. β
"Second, it is even more inappropriate to pay the salaries of the town cadres and school teachers. It is not easy for everyone to work at the grassroots level, most people have to rely on wages to support their families, we owe everyone's wages, how can we do it? β
"Since everyone can't come up with a way and can't do anything, then, I'll talk about it openly. Perhaps, what is said in this middle may be a little unpleasant, but the words are not rough, and the truth is there! β
Zhou Nan slowly got up, stood behind the desk, lit a cigarette, and his cold and calm eyes flashed from everyone one by one, "I originally thought that the debt would be easy to settle - whoever signed the letter would be responsible for finding a way to repay it......"
Zhou Nan's voice was a little cold, and as soon as his words came out, everyone was taken aback, and they all looked up at Zhou Nan. Qiu Gang, deputy secretary of the town party committee, felt a violent throb in his heart, and said in his heart that Zhou Nan was really ruthless, and he had such thoughts.
This is not a small amount, every town leader has a signature, the most is tens of thousands of yuan, the least is seven or eight thousand, if you have to let the signed leaders be responsible for repayment, they can't cry!
Sun Wenge broke out in a cold sweat. Among the town leaders, he signed the most, more than the previous secretary of the town party committee, and he secretly calculated an approximate number, which should not be less than 40,000. For the township cadres at this time, the salary for one month is less than 1,000 yuan, and if you suddenly carry a debt of tens of thousands of yuan, you will simply be unbearable!
Fortunately, Zhou Nan still has the following, "Later, considering everyone's reality, I gave up this idea." But what is the basis for the repayment of the bills? This is a question worth savoring and pondering. β
"I think it can be solved this way. First, the faΓ§ade and office space occupied by the supply and marketing cooperatives belong to the state-owned assets managed by the town, right? The supply and marketing cooperatives have been used for so many years free of charge, which in itself does not conform to economic laws, nor is it conducive to the preservation and appreciation of the value of state-owned assets, and in fact constitutes the encroachment of state-owned assets. β
"My opinion is this, after going down, Mayor Ma, you will immediately organize people to connect with the supply and marketing cooperatives to see how to deal with this situation...... I think it shouldn't be a problem to at least offset the more than 20,000 yuan owed to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town. And in the next step, how to operate these real estate resources occupied by the supply and marketing cooperatives, you also have to come up with a specific method. β
Zhou Nan smiled faintly.
Ma Zhongling's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, this new Secretary Zhou is really shrewd, he actually thought of this section...... "Well, please rest assured Secretary Zhou, I will do this work as soon as possible." Hehe, I think the town should turn around and chase the account from the supply and marketing cooperative. Ma Zhongling smiled and nodded to Zhou Nan.
Speaking of which, I'll interject a few digressions. I have a general understanding that there are a lot of assets in the town, but they are all occupied by many public institutions without compensation, and there are many similar situations to supply and marketing cooperatives. β
"In response to this problem, I suggest that the town party committee and political axe must attach great importance to the management of some fixed assets, and take the following effective measures: First, carry out a thorough clean-up of all assets, find out the family background, and delineate the ownership of assets. The second is to establish and improve the fixed assets management system, establish a fixed assets ledger, and truthfully register the newly purchased and newly completed fixed assets. Third, the town should regularly organize relevant personnel to clean up the fixed assets to ensure the real and complete surnames of the fixed assets. Fourth, it is necessary to enhance the awareness of managing state-owned assets in accordance with the law, and purchase, manage, and dispose of state-owned assets in strict accordance with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations......"
"It's very regrettable that the town has a lot of foreign debt on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has not managed its assets effectively." Zhou Nan waved his hand vigorously and said loudly.
"Let's go back to the issue of debt. Second, we need to reduce expenditures, streamline expenditures, and increase revenue and reduce expenditures. In a word, it's two words: save money. β
Zhou Nan looked around at several team members, "There is no way, in order to repay the debt, we must have a long-term plan." First, the party and government offices should make overall arrangements to ensure that fewer meetings are held and shorter meetings, and the scale of meetings should be controlled as much as possible, and meeting time should be compressed, and meeting documents should be reduced. In accordance with the principle of pragmatism and efficiency, the existing meetings and other conference affairs should be reformed, and on the premise of ensuring the quality of the meetings, attention should be paid to improving the efficiency of the meetings, so as to minimize the expenses transferred from the conference. Second, in line with the principle of enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, diligence and thrift, we will vigorously promote the reception of people's surnames, human feelings, and human culture, strictly implement the reception system, strictly control the accompanying personnel, and make reasonable arrangements and careful calculations, so that the guests are satisfied, and not extravagant and wasteful. The third is to strengthen internal management and save various expenditures......"
"It is necessary to avoid the phenomenon of unpaid debts and consumption still being consumed." Zhou Nan's eyes became gloomy, and his voice became extremely serious, "I don't care what happened before, but in the future, as long as I, Zhou Nan, am still in office, I will resolutely not allow the town to owe any more debts." Anyone who eats, drinks, and signs debts outside will be punished by party and government discipline, and the town will resolutely refuse to recognize such signatures. β
"No matter who is involved." Zhou Nan added in a deep voice.
"Third, we went our separate ways to find places to borrow money to repay the loan, such as the counterpart department or the higher department. I don't care what you think, anyway, I have to get the money back as soon as possible and make up this arrears. I have applied to Secretary Zhang of the county party committee, and the county will allocate a sum of money to us to come down for emergency relief. β
"All in all, we have to find a way to pay back the money we owe ourselves." Zhou Nan sat down slowly and said loudly, "I hope everyone will work together to eliminate the debt crisis this time, and then we will play the gong and drum again and start another drama - the previous ones will be completely revealed." β
Qiu Gang and the others looked at each other, and Zhou Nan's above three ways to repay debts made them feel that they had nothing to say.
The state-owned assets in the town have been "idle for free" for a long time, which is a problem left over from history, and Zhou Nan has just come to this aspect, and is ready to use the opportunity of the debt crisis to "open the knife", which can be described as fair and straightforward, saving a lot of "tongues".
If this is not the case, it may not be easy to make some unpaid users of assets spit out this "fat meat". But now it's different, the town is facing a debt crisis, and if you resist enforcement, the town is likely to resort to coercive measures. And these cadres in the town, in order to resolve the debt, also had to "work hard".
And the reduction of government expenditures, if it were in normal times, would certainly make the personnel of the organs quite criticized -- but under the banner of repaying debts, no one dares to say anything more. As for mobilizing everyone to "turn their fate", it can be regarded as a way out of the question. At such times, the town cadres have no choice.
