A few days ago, Chen Donggang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, led a group of trade union cadres to come over and chatter for an afternoon, for fear that he would be in arrears of workers' wages, which would affect the excellent situation of stability and unity in Linshui.

Early this morning, Wang Zhihao and Liu Hongye, the two chief managers of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, personally came to the door and sent an invitation signed by Tian Wenjian, secretary of the municipal party committee, Zhou Yi, mayor of the city, and other members of the standing committee of the municipal party committee. Invite yourself to go to the Linshui Hotel tomorrow afternoon to participate in the Spring Festival group meeting organized by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe.

To go or not to go? Yang Tiekun, chairman of Tianda Group, really couldn't make up his mind for a while. After all, there are so many things in the group company during the Chinese New Year, so it is better to stay in the company and do something serious than wasting half a day and playing with those officials who are full of empty words.

Besides, it's not that he hasn't been here before, and none of the problems he reacted to have been solved, even if he reported to the National People's Congress and the CPPCC, it would have to wait until the next year. What's more, there is no good banquet, who knows if their group of officials who eat people and don't spit out bones will make any non-specific demands at the group meeting?

But the invitation card was personally sent by the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, and even the person who sent the invitation was a member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee. Just when Yang Tiekun was hesitating, Li Sibin, a high school classmate who had developed in Donghai Province for many years and had become a member of the Standing Committee of the local CPPCC and president of the Linhai Chamber of Commerce, finally returned to his hometown for the New Year, rushed over in a hurry.

"Tiekun, you also received an invitation?" The water for making tea had not yet boiled, and Li Sibin, who had just sat down, pointed to the invitation card on the side of the coffee table and asked with a wry smile.

Yang Tiekun was stunned for a moment, then reacted, raised his smile and asked, "So, are you here for this?" ”

"yes, why else?"

Li Sibin sighed lightly, handed over a cigarette, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I just arrived home the afternoon before yesterday, and I received an invitation early this morning. They are all from their hometowns, and it's not good if they don't go. But I'm different from you, all the belongings I've done over the years are in the East China Sea, if I am really entangled by their pervasive investment cadres, then can the future talk stop? ”

To put it bluntly, attracting investment is to dig the foot of the wall, you come to me, I go to you. The conditions offered and the treatment given are better than the other. "Everything for the merchants, everything for the merchants" is said to be out of the blue, in the end it is not as black as a crow in the world, and they are all "closed and beaten dogs"?

Yang Tiekun nodded slightly, put down the kettle in his hand, pointed to the stack of materials on the desk, and said empathetically: "Don't say that you are such a big boss, even my small temple will not stop, the threshold is about to be broken by them, there are from this province, some from neighboring provinces, and even from the western region, one after another, I knew that I would not do those advertisements." ”

"Don't talk about that, people will wait for me to reply. You're more familiar with them, do you say I'm going or not going? ”

Yang Tiekun was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Mr. Chen of Longfang Group. The content of the phone call still revolved around this invitation, and not only Mr. Chen received it, but even some small owners of family workshops and small bosses of the catering service industry also received invitations.

At the end of the year, everyone is waiting and watching, and no one dares to go rashly. As a leader of a private enterprise in Linshui, Yang Tiekun had to hold a conference call. The people did not fight with the officials, and after some weighing, everyone still thought that they should go to the banquet on time. As for people like Li Sibin, who are developing abroad, it is up to them to decide whether they go or not.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 26th of the lunar month, the only four-star hotel near the water was very lively. One after another, luxury cars were parked in an orderly manner along the road under the command of the traffic police and hotel security guards.

Wang Zhihao, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and Liu Hongye, director of the Political Axe Office, who personally came to deliver invitations two days ago, were accompanied by the hotel manager as welcome guests. Banners and banners such as "Warmly welcome Linshui entrepreneurs" and "I wish Linshui business people a complete success in the Spring Festival reunion" were hung overhead and on both sides of the foyer.

As the host, Secretary Tian naturally can't be late. As soon as I finished lunch, I took a Coaster bus with Zhou Yi, Qi Aiguo, Li Yunpeng, Chen Dong and other members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and rushed to the venue early.

“…… According to your instructions, there is no rostrum, no buffet, no souvenirs, just melon seeds, candy and tea, fifty-one large round tables, which should be enough. If you bring your family, you can only sit on a temporary basis. ”

Looking at the very festive banquet hall and listening to the report of the deputy director of the Political Axe Office, Tian Wenjian, who had deliberately changed into a suit, nodded with satisfaction, and walked inside under the support of everyone, while laughing and said: "Old Zhou, if the guests don't come, then this joke will be a big joke." ”

Without waiting for Zhou to speak, Chen Dong laughed and said, "Secretary Tian, don't Western countries advocate freedom. In my opinion, you can do whatever you want, that's not freedom. If the leader doesn't want to come, he won't come, which is called freedom. If no one comes today, it will fully prove the superiority of the socialist system, and who would dare to say that we have no freedom? ”

Qi Aiguo, director of the National People's Congress, couldn't help laughing and scolding: "It's really red close to Zhu, and black near ink, I didn't expect even Lao Chen to become so flamboyant." ”

Tian Wenjian reacted, and immediately turned around and asked with a smile: "Director Qi, you have something to say." What is close to Zhu Zhechi? What is near-ink black? You'll have to tell me about it. ”

has been in the team for so long, and everyone's relationship is quite harmonious, and the two old-timers, Qi Aiguo and Li Yunpeng, are even more happy to quarrel with Secretary Tianda. Looking at Tian Wenjian's unforgiving look, Li Yunpeng interjected and joked for the old disrespectful: "The clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are turbid, who is red and who is black, who understands in their own hearts." ”

Seeing more than a dozen guests walking in accompanied by Wang Zhihao, Tian Wenjian hurriedly smiled and said, "The joke will be opened again, and the guests will be received first." ”

It is said that Linshang is united, and Tian Wenjian is an eye-opener today. Either you don't come, or you just swarm to come. Nearly 100 big and small bosses flocked to him, so he couldn't even hold his hand. In less than ten minutes, bronzing, sealing, perfume-flavored, Chinese-English ...... All kinds of business cards, just a big stack.

"Everyone, please give way...... Borrowed, thank you ......! ”

Tian Wenjian was chatting hotly with Yang Dong of Tianda Group and Chen Dong of Longfang Group, Liu Hongye, director of the Political Axe Office, squeezed in, leaned into his ear, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Secretary Tian, Miss Wu Qian is also here, are you going to see it?" ”

Before Tian Wenjian could figure out who Wu Qian was, dozens of big and small bosses didn't even say hello, so they threw down the parents who received them and swarmed around the door of the banquet hall. The scramble to take photos suddenly became a mess, making the already noisy banquet hall even more noisy.

Looking at his puzzled look, Liu Hongye hurriedly explained: "Wu Qian is a big star who has gone out of our water, and has filmed several movies and TV series, and she is very popular!" ”

Tian Wenjian remembered that he was indeed such a person, but he was still caught off guard by everything in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "Director Liu, today is the New Year group meeting of the industrial and commercial circles, and it is not an event in the literary and artistic circles, please invite such a big star to come over, are you mistaken?" ”

Liu Hongye realized that the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's leg, and hurriedly explained: "Secretary Tian, Miss Wu not only has her own company, but also the image spokesperson of our Linshui. When I heard that she was coming back for the Chinese New Year, I took it upon myself to invite her. ”

What are you doing? Isn't it just a joke? Secretary Tian's intestines were about to be broken, but considering that people were also kind, he had to nod and say, "Those who come are all guests, you go and entertain them." ”

Just because he doesn't go to see people doesn't mean they don't come to see him.

Before Liu Hongye could turn around, Yang Tiekun, chairman of Tianda Group, walked over with a smile on his face and said: "Secretary Tian, I didn't expect you to invite Miss Wu too, or you have a big face, and my brother admires you." ”

"Hello Secretary Tian, I heard that there is a secretary of the municipal party committee from the capital, but I didn't expect you to be so young."

In the end, he is a big star, and he is really not ordinarily beautiful. Tian Wenjian shook her white and delicate hand, and said with a light smile: "Miss Wu, you are the pride of our Linshui people, welcome back to your hometown for the New Year, and I also hope that you can go home often like today." ”

Wu Qian, who is an official, has seen a lot, and she really didn't pay attention to a county official like Secretary Tian Da. If it weren't for Director Liu of the Political Axe Office pestering her honest parents, she would not have attended such a meaningless banquet.

Tian Wenjian's reaction surprised her a little, although she was polite on the surface, she could still feel that he was different from those who were officials and rich people, and he didn't seem to be as welcoming to him as Director Wang said, and even had some rejection.

Wu Qian, who was kneeling down under the stone skirt with so many people and was very confident in her charm and appearance, suddenly felt strongly ignored and left out. Just thinking about what to say, Secretary Tian actually said haha to Yang Tiekun, when she greeted the other guests like a transparent person.

Isn't it just a county official, what's the big deal? Wu Qian gritted her teeth, and there was a hint of unhappiness between her eyebrows. Yang Tiekun seemed to realize something, immediately lowered his head, and said with a smile to this product spokesperson whose asking price did not talk about the feelings of his hometown at all: "Secretary Tian is such a person, Miss Wu, don't take it to heart." ”

At this time, Mayor Zhou took the microphone handed by the staff, walked to the center of the banquet hall, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to participate in the New Year group meeting of the industrial and commercial circles held by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe. First of all, on behalf of the Linshui Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe, I wish you good health, all the best, prosperous business, and abundant financial resources in the new year! ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the mayor personally served as the master of ceremonies, this face must be given, and there was a burst of warm applause in the banquet hall.

“…… As the mayor, I have more contact with everyone, while Secretary Tian has less. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that he has just taken office. Now, let Secretary Tian say a few words to everyone, okay? ”

"Good!" As soon as Zhou Yi's words fell, the bosses who had always been curious about Secretary Tian suddenly shouted in unison.

The seating arrangements for the group meeting were very interesting, with 11 members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, eight deputy mayors, and seven or eight deputy positions of the Municipal Party Committee Office and the Political Axe Office, each of whom was in charge of one table. The staff of the municipal organs uncharacteristically acted as waiters, shuttling in the banquet hall to serve tea and pour water for everyone.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Tian Wenjian, who was sitting at the table of Chen Dong of Longfang Group, stood up, took the microphone, and said with a smile: "Good words and auspicious words have been said by Mayor Zhou, I can only tell you a few jokes."

Seven years ago, I had the privilege of going to the United States to study in the United States as a member of the "Young and Middle-aged Cadre Training Program" of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee of J Province. Although I didn't take the same training in management and economics at the University of New Ilran, like my colleagues, I went to business school and law school whenever I had time during my time at Harvard.

After all these years, Professor Lem, the former dean of Harvard Business School and now the director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at the Business School, still vividly remembers the words of 'corporate fundraising' to this day.

In his opening remarks, the professor said, how do you become rich? There are many ways, one is to be born in a rich and noble family, which is what we call the rich second generation; The second is to find a big money to marry, which is very in line with the logic of the mother-in-law, and even there is a smooth slip in the society, what is it called 'getting married and not buying a house, you are playing hooligan'! ”

It was a joke, and everyone burst into laughter. Yang Tiekun patted the table and asked with a smile: "Secretary Tian, is there any other way?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Secretary Tian nodded slightly, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "The third is to win the jackpot in the lottery, and the fourth is to be among the mass media 'show'." Here I must emphasize that show is a Chinese surname, please Miss Wu don't take it to heart. ”

told herself as a joke, so angry that Wu Qian stomped her feet. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many guests, she would definitely get up and leave immediately. And after careful consideration, Li Sibin, who still rushed to the banquet with Yang Tiekun, couldn't help but lean into the ear of his old classmate and laughed in a low voice: "Tiekun, this secretary of the municipal party committee is a little interesting. ”

"What's the use of being interesting, the key is whether he can do something practical."

Before Li Sibin could react, Secretary Tian Da, who was still witty just now, suddenly changed his words and said very seriously: "Finally, the professor gave us a piece of advice very humorously: don't take the worst path...... Set up a company! You have worked hard in the shopping mall for many years, and I think you should be very touched by this sentence.

In the past year, more than 6,300 companies have been registered in the city, but nearly 4,000 have been cancelled. From a set of data provided by the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, it can be seen that shopping malls are like battlefields, how fierce the competition is and how difficult it is to survive. ”

There is no doubt that Secretary Tianda's opening remarks went to the hearts of the big and small bosses. The banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and even Wu Qian's impression of the county official in front of her changed greatly. After all, in this official-oriented environment, there are really not many officials who can empathize.

“…… Succeeded, people talk about original sin. Aside from the original sin, let's talk about corporate social responsibility. When it comes to social responsibility, people will say which entrepreneur donated how much, but I think it may be an act of fame, not necessarily true charity.

Some companies don't donate a penny, but they pay a lot of taxes, and they make a great contribution to the transfer payment, which is social responsibility. Corporate social responsibility, in general, is not to spend the country's money, to create wealth for the country, and to do donations only when there is spare energy. If you talk about charity every day, you talk about donations, and then you end up with businesses closing down and thousands of people losing their jobs, is that called corporate responsibility?"

It seems that today's group meeting is not a Hongmen banquet for money and projects, and everyone is relieved. Looking at the relieved looks of the big and small bosses, Secretary Tian nodded with a wry smile, and then said: "I would like to take this opportunity to reveal to you a piece of news, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe have decided that from January 27, the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau will be officially merged with the Commerce Bureau. This means that from now on, at least during my tenure, there will be no more China Merchants Bureau in Linshui City. ”

The merger of the political axe department, what does this have to do with us? More than 400 guests were confused and couldn't help whispering to each other.

"Maybe you feel a little surprised, and even feel that it has nothing to do with you, it seems that I need to explain that the merger of these two departments is part of the 2005 municipal party committee and municipal axe reform plan, and it is also an important symbol of the transformation from a management-oriented political axe to a service-oriented political axe."

Secretary Tian walked to the innermost table, nodded to everyone, and continued meaningfully: "As far as I know, there are three members of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), 48 members of the CPPCC, nearly 60 deputies to the provincial, municipal and county and even the National People's Congress, and more than a dozen concurrently serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

I'm proud of what you've accomplished, and I'm proud to be half of a waterfront person. Who doesn't sing for our hometown, even the song is sung like this, with all of you here, do you still need to attract investment in Linshui? Service, service is the first priority. As long as you can do a good job, I think it's better than anything. ”

Having said so much, I went around in a circle, and in the end it was still the same. Seeing that Secretary Tian was staring at him, Li Sibin and other big bosses who were developing in other places were all big, and they really didn't know what to say.

At this time, Mayor Zhou stood up and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Secretary Tian has no intention of being a strong man." The reason why I say all this is just to take this opportunity to show everyone the determination of the municipal party committee and municipal government to do a good job in providing services. The just-promulgated 'Detailed Rules for the Management of Private Financial Institutions' is a major measure to solve the financing difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises.

In the next two years, the municipal party committee will carry out drastic institutional reforms, strive to merge or abolish one bureau a month, and reduce unnecessary expenditures as much as possible; The focus of the work of the political axe is also very clear, that is, to clean up illegal fees and reduce the burden on enterprises. ”

Abolish or merge a bureau a month to clean up illegal charges! These two news surprised everyone, and they were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that the municipal party committee and municipal axe could swing a knife from the palace.

Seeing that everyone was skeptical, Secretary Tian took over the conversation and said with a heavy face: "I was very touched by the televised debate between former US Vice President Al Gore and current US President George W. Bush during the election campaign.

Because if Al Gore is elected president, he will add 200 political axes, or expand them, and 20,000 more officials will be added as a result. What are 20,000 officials? Is it worth the verbal scramble on TV? In our small county-level city of Linshui alone, there are more than 4,000 supernumerary personnel! Not to mention a country. ”

Secretary Tian was a little excited, and he actually waved his arms as he spoke.

"It is said that the tax sharing system is to force good people to become prostitutes, forcing various departments to reach out to the people and enterprises, and then there have been a series of arbitrary fees, arbitrary apportionment, and even fishing law enforcement and other law-breaking behaviors. I don't think so! If something goes wrong, you should find the cause in yourself. There are more than 4,000 supernumerary personnel, and more than 100 million in a year. No matter how hard the people are, no matter how much money you can make, you can't afford to raise it!

The return of officials to the essence is to treat the people as cattle and horses. Serving the people like now, Grandpa Mao will blush if he knows anything. Here, on behalf of the municipal party committee and municipal government, I would like to express my stance that institutional reform is by no means an old wine in a new bottle, and the units are not moving. Back then, the workers of state-owned enterprises were laid off like dumplings, why couldn't party members and cadres? The common people can withstand the ups and downs, and I believe that our party members and cadres can too! ”

Speaking of this, Secretary Tian Da's face suddenly changed, and he continued sincerely: "All in all, the municipal party committee and municipal government have made great determination, but the work is still inseparable from the support of the people, especially your support.

I would like to ask you one thing, after the formal implementation of the institutional reform, you will be able to accept and help those comrades who have been diverted without discrimination. Even if they didn't have anything to do with it before, it was due to the general environment, and it didn't have much to do with them, please. ”

Yang Tiekun and other bosses realized the true intentions of Secretary Tian and other city leaders, to put it bluntly, I will reduce the burden on you, and you also have to help me solve the employment problem of some people.

All sorts of messy charges are comparable to taxes, which overwhelm businesses. In comparison, raising a few people is really nothing. What's more, if they are diverted, they will no longer be civil servants, and if they don't do a good job, they can be completely swept up and left. If the municipal party committee and municipal axe can do what they say, this is a deal that can be discussed well.
