Chapter 118: The Godfather of Officialdom

It is no secret that Gao Dongyang, executive vice governor of Chunan Province, likes to chat with young cadres.

This has become Gao Dongyang's habit. When he was the secretary general of the provincial government office, whenever he had the opportunity, Gao Dongyang would get together with the younger generation of officials he admired. Sometimes they talk about work, sometimes they talk about the mountains like friends, they talk about whatever problems they have, and they can quarrel with young cadres when they are sharp.

If he is persuaded by young people, Gao Dongyang will gladly accept it and write down the other party's point of view very seriously.

Song Qingming, secretary of the provincial party committee, also often exaggerated Dongyang's avant-garde thinking, daring to think and break through, in fact, Gao Dongyang's avant-garde is also due to those young cadres who are close to Gao Dongyang.

According to Gao Dongyang's words, there are countless mineral deposits in life, it depends on whether you are willing to mine them, and whether you are humble or not. Many stubborn diseases in officialdom, when they come to young people, they often give you a word to break down!

Once, a poor township chief who was less than 30 years old said to Gao Dongyang: "There is fog above, and the higher you go, the thicker the fog becomes. To see the truth, you have to go where the fog has not yet risen. ”

The word "fog" also made Gao Dongyang think for a long time. Gao Dongyang felt that the township chief's words were very level, and with the rise of his status, this kind of opportunity became less and less, and Gao Dongyang now had a feeling of being locked in a dense fog.

However, some people say that Gao Dongyang is "grandstanding" and "unconventional", and this is how the statement about Gao Dongyang's "godfather of officialdom" came about.

Some people attacked Gao Dongyang for taking advantage of this opportunity to find targets and cultivate cronies. Every time he encountered this kind of attack, Gao Dongyang laughed at it.

In Gao Dongyang's view, people can't be bound by something, when you feel that the left is also difficult and the right is also difficult, your situation is more dangerous, at this time the first thing you have to think of is to break through the two words, but there must be a scale to break through, to choose the right time and the right occasion.

There are many things in officialdom that you have to obey, and if you don't obey, you will be ostracized, people can't be different, especially people in officialdom, this is an iron law, and no one can change it.

However, without challenging the big rules, you can change the small rules appropriately. For example, Gao Dongyang thinks that he can get in touch with the younger generation, which is a small rule. Of course, a lot of people are disdainful or unwilling to do this kind of thing, and they are keen to lean up and squeeze up.

Gao Dongyang did the opposite, and also won another sky for himself.

In a bright cooking life, Gao Dongyang once said: "If everything has to be prioritized, then sooner or later our cadre system will have problems." ”

At that time, some leading cadres in the province complained about the rapid promotion of some young cadres, and Gao Dongyang said in response to this situation, and even said: "For some young cadres who have taken a fancy to them, they should be promoted and reused, and let them take the lead!" ”

As a result, Gao Dongyang's "fancied" theory has been interpreted into many versions.

Some people say that after Gao Dongyang reached the position of executive vice governor, he began to absorb and develop his second army. The position of the First Army was already strong and unbreakable, and no one could subvert it. Once the Second Army and the Third Army grow up, Gao Dongyang will grow into a big tree with deep roots and leaves in Chunan Province, which no one can shake.

Some people also say that "I have taken a fancy to it" is actually to preach and advocate the use of cronyism in the red fruit land, and those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die!

Anyway, there are different opinions, and everyone has their own opinions!

However, in any case, it is an obvious fact that there are a large number of promising young cadres in various prefecture-level cities below the province of Chunan Province who are rapidly moving closer to Gao Dongyang.

In the compounds of the city and county organs below Chunan Province, there was even a popular saying: "Have you been taken a fancy to?" ”

And this time, Gao Dongyang set his sights on Li Jiatao, who had never known his life, would Li Jiatao be favored by him?

Gao Dongyang decided to go to Yandu next week, which can be regarded as cheering for Ouyang Qiang, who has just taken office as secretary of the Yandu Municipal Party Committee.

Gao Dongyang came up step by step from the grassroots level, and every step was very solid. But now that his identity has changed, Gao Dongyang doesn't like to go down to inspect it!

How to say it, it's not that Gao Dongyang wants to break away from the grassroots and the people, but that he doesn't like the lively scene of officialdom coming and going. Fake falls second, the key is too tiring, too energy-consuming!

People are scrambling to meet enthusiastically, you can't ignore it, not only to be reasonable, but also to be measured, level, neither too hot nor too cold.

Too hot will mislead the comrades below and will misconvey the message. Too cold will hit the positive surnames of the comrades below, people are quite confident in doing a good job, and as soon as your attitude is cold, it will immediately make people mistakenly think that they have done something wrong, where they have not done it properly, and they will even want to go somewhere else.

So every time he went to inspect below, Gao Dongyang was very cautious. Every smile, every expression, even a frown, a squeeze of an eye, will be taken as an important signal.

Gao Dongyang felt tired, especially tired1 because every time, many people would find Gao Dongyang to pull a relationship, set close, and even worse, some people changed their ways to get close to him, and then euphemistically expressed some wishes.

These wishes are naturally inseparable from the official standard!

Over the years, Gao Dongyang has been particularly cautious in these aspects.

Gao Dongyang is not very disgusted with the title of "Godfather of Officialdom", although sometimes he has some questions, but he is not very repulsive.

Gao Dongyang has a principle, that is, he, the godfather, is definitely not a mountain, let alone a gang, he just uses his own way to discover some talents, spend his energy and effort on them, and build or cultivate them into cadres who can take on heavy responsibilities, and the middle force of Chunan Province in the future.

However, now it seems that others have regarded Gao Dongyang as a mountain and as a sect leader, thinking that as long as they have a relationship with him and become his person, they will have smooth sailing in their official career.

Of course, Gao Dongyang is more worried about what the high-level will think once this information is transmitted to the ears of the high-level by people with ulterior motives?

Gao Dongyang was pondering, and Qi Shaocheng, the director of the Department of Transportation, came to the door, crying with a sad face.

As soon as Gao Dongyang saw it, he knew that Qi Shaocheng had been criticized. Recently, Gao Dongyang has always heard Xu Chengliang, vice governor of the Standing Committee, attack Qi Shaocheng.

"Frustrated, did you make Governor Xu angry again?" Gao Dongyang asked with a smile.

"Now I don't know how to do this job anymore, neither in the east nor in the west, no matter how I do it, Governor Xu can find faults." Qi Shaocheng was full of scratches.

Gao Dongyang naturally knew in his heart that the problem was not Qi Shaocheng. However, Qi Shaocheng scratched so indiscriminately, which still made Gao Dongyang's heart cold and a little unhappy!

Gao Dongyang's joking is one thing, one horse is one yard, the purpose is to let Qi Shaocheng relax a little, don't keep tensing his nerves, it's too tiring, and he looks at it and panics! But Qi Shaocheng said bad things about Xu Chengliang, vice governor of the Standing Committee, in front of Gao Dongyang, that is another matter.

Gao Dongyang immediately put away the smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "Shaocheng, you can't talk casually, you are the director of the Department of Transportation, don't forget your identity." ”

Qi Shaocheng's heart froze, and he quickly realized it, and his voice immediately changed tone: "I'm sorry, governor, I ......"

"Alright." Gao Dongyang waved his hand and said lightly, "Just realize it, sit down and say something." ”

Qi Shaocheng was beaten by Gao Dongyang like this, and his stomach was frightened back, and he looked at Gao Dongyang with a blank eye, waiting for Gao Dongyang to ask questions.

"What's the problem, is it about the road?" Gao Dongyang softened his tone.

Qi Shaocheng shook his head and said in a low voice: "Governor, the plan we discussed before, Governor Xie Maolin was very unhappy, yesterday the Ministry of Communications called and said that when he was in the capital, the governor and the minister met and resolutely rejected the plan. Just now, Governor Xu was angry about this matter, saying that I was reporting to the ministry behind his back. ”

When Gao Dongyang heard this, he also felt a little tricky, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

Qi Shaocheng's face changed again, thinking that he had said something wrong, and there were some six gods without masters.

For the restructuring of the high-speed group and the functional reform of the Department of Transportation, Gao Dongyang put forward the shortcomings and institutional defects in the transportation investment management of Chunan Province after Gao Dongyang was in charge of transportation.

In particular, the construction of expressways is currently adopting a political axe investment, the provincial transportation department authorizes a temporary agency to organize the construction of the project, and the leader of the Department of Communications concurrently serves as the chief of the construction of the project, so that the management mode of direct investment by the political axe, project establishment, investment, construction, and management is "four-in-one".

Administrative leaders are specifically engaged in micro-market economic activities, acting as both athletes and referees. The market is not standardized, supervision is lacking, and if self-discipline is insufficient, it is very likely that projects and funds will be personified.

The "four-in-one" management system of highway construction project approval, investment, construction, and management can easily lead to the departmentalization of political power and the individualization of departmental power.

In view of this drawback, Gao Dongyang put forward an idea, to limit the monopoly of the Department of Communications, and try to implement a "three-legged" management system in which the provincial government is responsible for the planning of highway construction in the province, the Provincial Department of Finance is responsible for management, examination and approval of construction funds, and the Provincial Department of Transportation is responsible for applying for and using construction funds.

Gao Dongyang asked Qi Shaocheng to organize forces to come up with a preliminary plan first, because the plan was too sensitive, for fear of arousing the suspicion of Governor Xie Maolin, as if he was specifically targeting Governor Xie Maolin, so Gao Dongyang did not report this matter to Governor Xie Maolin, but asked Qi Shaocheng to report directly to the Ministry of Communications to discuss the surname document, and asked experts from the Ministry of Communications to give advice.
