The inspection team of the provincial party committee stayed in Pingquan for nine days and finally left. Zhou Hongyou soon got more authoritative news from Beiyang that Secretary Wang Yi was going to be promoted.

It's not a secret, it's been rumored for a long time. Zhou Hongyou is concerned about who will take over Wang Yi's class.

Zhou Hongyou hopes that Shangguan Hong will take the position. His goal is not the mayor, but the executive deputy mayor. He is currently ranked fifth among the eight vice mayors of Hiraizumi, and in terms of seniority, his hopes of taking over as mayor are basically zero. Therefore, he did not think about the mayor's throne, but about solving the problem of entering the normal.

With the current power structure, the highest organ of power in Pingquan City is, of course, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. However, among the members of the municipal government, only Mayor Shangguan Hong and Executive Vice Mayor Zheng Xingmao are members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. The remaining seven members of the Standing Committee are secretaries, deputy secretaries, directors of the organization department, director of the propaganda department, director of the United Front Work Department, commanders of military sub-divisions, and secretary general of the municipal party committee.

The best outcome envisaged by Zhou Hongyou is that Shangguan Hong takes over as secretary of the municipal party committee and Zheng Xingmao takes over as mayor. In this way, he may take over Zheng Xingmao's current position, and he will also solve the very important problem of entering the norm. Because in any case, the executive vice mayor must be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Otherwise, the voice of the government at the decision-making level will be too weak and incompatible with the situation in which the economy is in charge.

Although in addition to Zheng Xingmao, there are three deputy mayors in front of him, but from age to education, he has obvious advantages, not to mention that he also has one of the biggest advantages is that his relationship with the mayor of Shangguan is much closer than that of the three deputy mayors, and Shangguan recently vaguely hinted at this when talking about the construction plan of the new city.

Of course, Shangguan Hong could not completely decide his fate, but Shangguan's vote was crucial, especially after Shangguan became secretary.

But there are many variables for the successful realization of this vision. The first is Zheng Xingmao, who is the executive vice mayor.

Shangguan Hong may not be willing for Zheng Xingmao to take over his class. is also a key member of the city government, Zhou Hongyou can feel some things that cannot be seen on the surface. In his opinion, the establishment of the executive deputy office is completely necessary, that is, the shadow mayor, who can fill the position at any time, without considering the absence of special circumstances. What is a special circumstance, such as the mayor of Qingshan City being investigated.

The Executive Vice Mayor is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and is the number one deputy mayor with heavy powers and is in charge of the main departments of the government, such as the General Office and the Finance Bureau. But it is inevitable that there will be a conflict with the mayor. On the surface, Zheng Xingmao used to respect Shangguan Hong, but recently there has been a tendency to become more apparent. Zhou Hongyou knew that there was no harmony between Zheng and Shangguan, perhaps this was what the above was happy to see. Because of the two financial allocations, Shangguan has severely criticized the Finance Bureau, and the Finance Bureau also has a hard time, it is a list that was vetoed by Zheng Xingmao, what should they do?

Zheng Xingmao received the support of Secretary Wang Yi, and the characteristics of a strong political style have become more and more obvious in recent years, and he has many complaints about the municipal planning formulated by Shangguan. Zheng Xingmao did not dare to publicly criticize Shangguan Hong, but he repeatedly accused the planning bureau he was in charge of lacking a scientific and people-oriented spirit, being greedy for foreign in municipal planning, not respecting history, not considering the cultural heritage of the city, and ignoring the government's increasingly high debt ratio. At a recent meeting of the financial system he chaired, Zheng Xingmao said publicly.

How can a government go bankrupt? We are not a Western country! Zhou Hongyou, who attended the meeting, scoffed at Zheng Xingmao's speech.

If Shangguan is unwilling to Zheng Xingmao to take over his class, won't his wish be frustrated?

The second variable is Bai Yongquan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Bai is the third-ranked member of the Standing Committee, and theoretically has the possibility of replacing Wang Yi. If Deputy Secretary Bai is promoted to the secretary of the municipal party committee, his wishful thinking will be completely frustrated. Is it possible for Bai Yongquan to succeed Wang Yi? Zhou Hongyou thinks it is possible, Zhou Hongyou, who once served in the provincial organ, has a network in the provincial capital, and he has been carefully operating that network after he left Beiyang, and the news spread on the "network" proves that Bai Yongquan has a very deep background, and it is entirely possible to achieve a key leap after Wang Yi's promotion.

The third is Shangguan Hong. Compared with Wang Yi, who has a stable style and a positive official reputation, Shangguan Hong is a little flamboyant. There is negative news, and he Zhou Hongyou can hear it, and there is no reason why he can't hear it. At least Shangguan and Donghu have a very deep relationship, Tang Yikun respects himself on the surface, but in fact he doesn't take himself seriously at all, because he has a deeper and higher relationship in the government. If Shangguan can't go up, everything is in vain.

The official road is rough. Every time I think about the obstacles to promotion, Zhou Hongyou is mad. Zhou Hongyou, who has been "climbing" on the official road for 20 years, knows very well that it is not enough to rely on relationships alone, and political achievements are indispensable at all times. In the business he is in charge of, the most likely "battlefield" for political achievements is the construction of new cities. The most reliable way to maintain the high pace of development in Hiraizumi is to start the new city plan, which will drive the development of more than 20 industries, and investment has been, is and will be the most effective engine of economic growth, especially in a country like ours that is still developing.

The new city construction plan personally presided over by Mayor Shangguan has already been submitted to the province, has passed the review of relevant departments and bureaus, and is probably stuck at the highest decision-making level of the province. According to Shangguan, the province has agreed in principle to the construction plan of Pingquan New Town, but after all, it involves a large amount of investment, and the procedure is quite difficult to follow.

According to Zhou Hongyou's political experience, success is always something to be fought for, not waited. Just like the slogan shouted by the army, it must be people waiting for equipment, not equipment waiting for people. The most important condition for the launch of Pingquan New Town is to have the conditions for launching the project, and the more active this work is, the better. However, the biggest obstacle to the construction of the new city is the Red Star Company, but Pingquan is a little powerless in this regard, because Red Star is a central enterprise, not under the management of Pingquan, not even under the jurisdiction of the province.

So, Zhou Hongyou made an appointment to meet Tao Tang. He didn't call Tao Tang directly, but asked his secretary to notify the Red Star Company. This is a bit detoured, the main reason is that Zhou Hongyou is a little "annoyed" by Tao Tang, he thought that Tao Tang would take the initiative to contact him after meeting at the East Lake Club, even if he didn't come to worship the mountain, he would make a call, who knew that Tao Tang was quite dragged, completely ignoring him, the deputy mayor. Therefore, Zhou Hongyou played the second power and asked the leader of Red Star to report to the city through official channels.

Tao Tang acted quickly, and that afternoon, Tao Tang knocked on the door of Zhou Hongyou's office.

"Vice Mayor Zhou, are you looking for me?"

"Hey, come with me?" Zhou Hongyou was relegated to the general. He reacted quickly and immediately changed his identity, "What do you mean?" Tao Tang didn't mention why he didn't contact him directly, but followed him in a businesslike posture, which was extremely ruthless, because if Tao Tang was not convinced, the relocation of Red Star would not be able to start. Now it is not Tao Tang who is anxious, but Pingquan City, to be specific, it is him Zhou Hongyou. Since Tao Tang put on an attitude, Zhou Hongyou realized that he had made a mistake.

"The general office of the city government notified me to report on my work, but I didn't say anything...... So I didn't bring anyone, so I came. ”

"It's always like this, these guys...... The style problem really has to be changed......" Zhou Hongyou picked up the cigarette, seemed to remember that Tao Tang was a non-smoker, and got up to make tea for Tao Tang.

"I'll drink this," Tao Tang picked up a bottle of mineral water on the coffee table, unscrewed it, and drank it wildly.

"You, you don't look like a boss......" Zhou Hongyou looked at Tao Tang's work clothes and smiled.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zhou Hongyou made amends, and Tao Tang didn't care about himself.

"Old classmate, what do you think about the relocation of Red Star?"

Tao Tang spread his hands, "I don't know anything!" No reports have been heard, and there are no substantive instructions from the superiors. Absolutely honest. ”

"You should put your interior in order," Zhou Hongyou lit a cigarette, "This matter is definitely Red Star's top priority." I'll tell you, Red Star has a plan, your ex, right here," he pointed to the sofa where Tao Tang was sitting, "Tell me about Red Star's general thoughts." ”

Tao Tang held the mineral water bottle in his hand, smiled, and looked at Zhou Hongyou, who had become serious.

"Why don't you speak?"

"What do you want me to say? Why don't you tell me about the city's plans? ”

Zhou Hongyou had a hunch that Tao Tang was not a good match, but he really couldn't lose his temper with Tao Tang, the relationship between classmates was actually very, but he couldn't control Tao Tang. Don't talk about him, even Wang Yi is helpless against Tao Tang. Because Tao Tang is not a municipal cadre, nor is he a provincial cadre. The reality is like this, Tao Tang's relationship is in Yanjing, in the Brilliant Group, not in Province G, and not in Pingquan.

"Okay, I'll talk about it briefly." Zhou Hongyou pondered, "Pingquan has a plan for the construction of a new city, and is ready to develop to the west, build a new city with cultural characteristics in the western suburbs, move all the universities in Pingquan to the city, and some universities in the province -- at least three have been implemented, and they will also move into the new city." The provincial and municipal levels attach great importance to this plan and are ready to start it as soon as possible, and must not be delayed until the 13th Five-Year Plan, which involves the relocation of Red Star...... The city plans to set aside enough places in the development zone, the supporting facilities there have been relatively perfect, and after more than ten years of construction, the development zone has concentrated nearly 100 enterprises...... That's pretty much it. ”

"Vice Mayor Zhou," Tao Tang regained his attitude when he first arrived, but his words became sharper, "You know the basic situation of Red Star Company, because you are a child of Red Star. The relocation is by no means a production line, Red Star's family members are tens of thousands, and the retired employees are more than in-service, so you can't move the living area over, right? Besides, what about the funds? Do you know what the productive floor area of Red Star is? If you want me to pay, I'm sorry, I can't do it. ”

"Of course the city has to do something...... However, it is still necessary to act according to the laws of the economy. Last time, Mr. Feng sent you to take office, and talked to the city about the relocation of Red Star, and Brilliant Group has the idea of strategic reorganization, and perhaps some backward industries and products will be eliminated. Of course, you can also adjust within your group, and you can also cooperate with Pingquan. The principal leaders of the municipal party committee fully endorsed this idea. ”

"If the superiors take away the products and production lines of Red Star, I have no opinion at all. The key is people. I told Feng Dong that whether it is relocation or reorganization, personnel placement comes first, and if you can't do this, you can't talk about anything. ”

"The housing problem is planned in the city. After the new city is launched, commercial development will definitely keep up, the positioning of the new city determines that the land price of the new city has a huge space for multiplication, and the city has a unified compensation standard for demolition, which will be welcomed by the workers. Red Star has a huge bungalow residential area, and the current situation of those bungalows can basically be included in the shantytown. Wouldn't this fundamentally improve the living conditions of employees? The key is the determination and attitude of the Red Star team, not anything else. ”

"Even if the housing problem can be satisfactorily solved, Red Star will still be a business after moving away, right? You can't eat imperial food, right? What about the market? What about the product? Also, Hongxing is more than 15 kilometers away from the development zone, how to solve the problem of tens of thousands of employees going to work? Will it put pressure on traffic? Don't say that you can solve it with a shuttle, Red Star is not a small unit, that is not realistic. ”

"Old Tao, why do I think you are against this plan at all?"

"Who am I entitled to object? I'm just trying to get my own politics in his position, standing in the position of the general manager of Red Star, and considering the practical difficulties. I have to think about the real interests of Red Star employees. ”

"Difficult? It's not difficult to do anything now? You have also seen how much Hiraizumi City has changed compared to what we were back then? Haven't you been under pressure until now? Benefit? Long-term interests and practical interests are often in conflict, and now some people may scold us, five or ten years later, I dare to guarantee that the Red Star Workers' Union will thank you, and even give you a monument. ”

"To be honest, I don't dare to win the gratitude of the staff. I am thinking about the survival and development of the Red Star, first of all, the question of survival. Hongyou, I don't tell lies, although Red Star is a central enterprise, but it is actually from Pingquan, the stability of Red Star is related to the stability of Pingquan, I dare not take it lightly, I advise you not to take it lightly. I would say the same thing to Comrade Feng Shizhao. ”

"The construction of the new city is a decision of the provincial and municipal party committees......"

"I have no intention of opposing the decisions of the provincial and municipal party committees. Hongyou, if you come to me today to talk about the relocation and reorganization of Red Star, then give me a little time and let me organize and study this issue. Now what I'm talking about is just a matter of personal feelings, and I can't count them at all. ”

"Well, I hope you'll be quicker. Lao Tao, you have been the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, and the revitalization of state-owned enterprises cannot rely on small fights, but also seize opportunities. The relocation of Red Star is an opportunity. ”

"I see you're busy, too, and if there's nothing else to do, I'll go back." Tao Tang took his leave.

Zhou Hongyou got up to send him off, "Oh, I almost forgot, the thing Gu Meijun said last time is not difficult, right?" Now you're a handful. ”

"Basic household?" Tao Tang slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, squad leader Gu should blame me, I should always give someone a word if I succeed." Okay, I'll get to the bottom of it. ”
