Hu Guoquan looked at Lin Dong, this young man was still amiable a minute ago, but when he talked about the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, it seemed that there was endless bitter water, and he turned bitter and hateful. Hu Guoquan is a scholar who has been studying politics and public administration for many years, and is well-known at home and abroad. At the age of only 45 years old, it can be said that he is young and promising, so he was reused by the state and was selected to serve as deputy mayor of Xizhou City.

Hu Guoquan has a habit of thinking while walking, so walking has become a must-do for him every day. Although he has only arrived in Xizhou City for a few days, he has not thrown away his old habits, and will go out for a walk every night.

After Lin Dong picked up the key, in order to return the key to the owner, he waited in the cold wind for forty or fifty minutes, which made Hu Guoquan quite moved.

When he was teaching at the university, Hu Guoquan had always been a representative of the "pro-people faction" and liked to communicate with students, and he saw that Lin Dong was about the same age as some of his graduate students, and he stayed at home for a few days here, dealing with some people in the official face, and he wanted to say what he wanted to say, and when he saw that Lin Dong looked decent, he invited him to his home.

"Xiaolin, when you talk about reducing the burden, how to reduce the burden?" Hu Guoquan asked.

Lin Dong opened his mouth and said: "Brother Hu, this is too simple, not raising taxes is a reduction in the burden on private enterprises, I don't even look forward to the national tax cut, I just hope that the state will not set up a name to collect such and such taxes." Our private enterprises are not as good as state-owned enterprises, let alone those monopolistic state-owned enterprises. Every penny of our money is taken out of our own pockets, and 80% of small and medium-sized private enterprises are now having a hard time, while state-owned enterprises are frequently buying sky-high prices of wine and luxury decoration. It's not a last resort, who wants to run away from home? Who wants to watch a factory go out of business? ”

Hu Guoquan smiled. poured a cup of tea for Lin Dong, "Xiaolin, drink a cup of tea to warm up." Extinguish fire. ”

Lin Dong took a sip of tea, only to feel that the tea was fragrant and fragrant. After taking a sip, he was refreshed, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he asked, "Brother Hu, what is your tea called, where did you buy it?" ”

Hu Guoquan shook his head and smiled: "I'll tell you the truth, I really don't know what this tea is called, and I don't know where to buy it, it was given by someone else." ”

Hu Guoquan did not have much research on tea, and usually drank plain water, and only tea when entertaining guests. This tea was delivered by someone from the city government office when he arrived in Xizhou City that day. In addition to tea, there are also several boxes of daily necessities.

"You're good tea."

Lin Dong felt that this Hu Guoquan revealed a sense of mystery everywhere, although he couldn't know his identity, but one thing he was sure of was that Hu Guoquan's status was noble. Not ordinary people.

"Xiaolin, are you familiar with Xizhou City?" Hu Guoquan asked.

Lin Dong smiled: "It should be quite familiar, Brother Hu, is there something you can't find or what?" ”

Hu Guoquan smiled: "No, no, I want to know about this city, this is my habit." Every place I go to wants to know about the place. Can you tell me about the situation in Xizhou City? ”

This is a little difficult for Lin Dong, after all, he has not been in Xizhou City for too long, and he only understands superficial things, so he simply opened his mouth and said: "Brother Hu, I said don't think I'm shallow, Xizhou City is a typical rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, adjacent to Sioux City, but very different from Sioux City." The degree of openness of Sioux City can be said to be the highest among the thirteen cities in Jiangsu Province, there are many well-known companies from all over the world have branches in Sioux City, and the impact of various economic ideas and cultural exchanges makes Sioux City the least conservative and the most culturally compatible and complex. Xizhou City is different, although the economic situation in the province is second only to Sioux City, and it is still ranked before the provincial capital, but there are few foreign-funded enterprises in the city, but most of the local people are wealthy. …,

Let's talk about some villages in the countryside, every household basically has a small workshop or a small factory, relying on the skills handed down by the ancestors, eating and drinking without worry, there is an income of one or two million a year is considered to be small, and a good family has three or four factories, with an annual income of tens of millions. Like Sioux City, Xizhou City has an equally large foreign population. I remember that it should be this data, there are 15 million people in Sioux City, of which 10 million are immigrants, and the population of Xizhou City is smaller, it should be 13 million, and 8 million are immigrants.

Most of the immigrants in Sioux City work for foreign-funded enterprises, while a large part of the migrant population in Xizhou City works in the small family workshops and factories I just mentioned. This creates a problem. In Sioux City, most foreign-funded enterprises have built dormitories, so migrant workers working in them do not need to rent their own houses, while in Xizhou City, working in small workshops and small factories, there is no such thing as a house to live in, so housing rental information can be seen everywhere in Xizhou City. ”

Lin Dong said a big call in one breath, and Hu Guoquan nodded while listening.

"Brother Hu, I'll talk about it casually, in fact, my understanding of Xizhou City is limited to the skin, which makes you laugh."

Hu Guoquan waved his hand, "Xiaolin, you are too modest, what you said just now inadvertently pointed out a rather serious problem." There are so many immigrants in Xizhou City, and they live a life without a fixed home, which will reduce their sense of identity with the city and make them lack a sense of belonging, which is quite detrimental to the long-term development of a city. Migrant workers, commonly known as 'migrant workers', are a huge force with incalculable power, and their influence on the city even exceeds that of those who have lived in the city for generations! Those in power must not ignore the existence of migrant workers, and should find ways to make migrant workers identify with the city, let them have a sense of belonging, let them love the city, and even make them regard this city as their hometown! ”

Hu Guoquan said one set of things, Lin Dong was stunned when he heard it, but he had to admire Hu Guoquan's words just now, compared with his wild way. What Hu Guoquan said was reasonable, very theoretical, and made Lin Dong feel like he was making a report, it seems that Hu Guoquan's words were not just thought up, but after a long period of careful consideration.

"Brother Hu, you are so powerful, you have studied the relationship between migrant workers and the city very deeply and thoroughly." Lin Dong exclaimed. "If you are in charge, then the people there will be blessed."

Hu Guoquan said: "Xiaolin, what you think is too simple. Most of what I just said has some bookish atmosphere, and governing a place and doing a good job of learning are two very different things, and most people who can do a good job in learning are not good at politics. Scholars mislead the country. This sentence has been around since ancient times, and I'm sure you've heard it. ”

Lin Dong looked at Hu Guoquan, and for a moment, he saw the shadow of a professor who liked to talk about political affairs in college from this middle-aged man, and they had a very similar temperament.

"Brother Hu, may I ask you a question?"

Hu Guoquan said with a smile: "We are talking between friends, there is not so much to be restrained, just ask what you want." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Let's assume that if you are in power, how to solve the problem of the sense of belonging of migrant workers mentioned above?" ”

Hu Guoquan doesn't need to think. These things are all questions that have been lingering in his mind for a long time, and he has already thought about it thousands of times, saying: "Solving three problems can make migrant workers feel a sense of belonging to the city." First, there is the issue of housing. With the income of the vast majority of migrant workers, in this era of high housing prices, they must not be able to afford to buy a house, so how to solve the housing problem? That is to build public rental housing! If the government has no money, it can also attract corporate sponsorship. It's a big deal to give each building a name, such as the one donated by China Mobile, and it will be named 'Mobile Building'. Haha, I'm just using an analogy. Public rental housing is rented to migrant workers at below-market prices, making it affordable for migrant workers. And the government promised that as long as people are still in the city, then they will not take over the houses. Those who have special contributions to the city can also be rewarded with houses. As long as the housing problem of migrant workers is solved, I think the migrant workers' sense of belonging to the city will be very high. …,

Second, there is the issue of education. At present, many migrant workers are working in the city with their children, and it is difficult and expensive to go to school, which makes many migrant workers' children unable to go to school and cannot afford to go to school, which makes most migrant workers feel frustrated and sad. They have worked hard for the development of the city, built schools, and in the end, their children cannot go to school here, and everyone will feel sad. There are even extremists who act excesses, which is not unheard of in other cities. The solution to this problem is to open the doors of schools, remove household registration restrictions on enrollment, and reduce school fees. I don't propose to build any schools for the children of migrant workers and bring the children of migrant workers together, isn't this just telling them that you are the children of farmers? This is likely to cause them to have low self-esteem since childhood. Children are naïve, and the children of urban people and the children of migrant workers should be allowed to read and communicate together from an early age, cultivate their feelings from an early age, and blur the boundaries of identity. I think that if this can be done, starting with the dolls, in another ten or twenty years, there will be no such thing as migrant workers in the cities, and the social status of migrant workers will also be significantly improved. Because when the children of the city people see the migrant workers, they will know that they are their friends' parents and will go up and call them 'uncle' and 'aunt', how I look forward to seeing that day!

Third, the issue of medical insurance. In China, most migrant workers have not signed labor contracts, except for wages, there are no other benefits, and the vital interests of migrant workers are related to medical insurance. Hospital fees are so high that even many people in the city cannot afford to see a doctor, let alone migrant workers, a vulnerable group in the city. Most of the migrant workers are reluctant to spend money on medicine, let alone go to the hospital to see a doctor, which can easily cause the condition to deteriorate. When you really can't bear it, go to the hospital to check, maybe you have a serious illness, or even terminal cancer. There are just too many such examples. In response to this problem, the effective way is to establish and improve the medical security system for migrant workers!

If the above three problems can be properly solved, I believe that migrant workers will definitely regard the city as their home. The development of the city will be faster and better, and the society will be more harmonious! ”

Lin Dong took out his cigarette, Hu Guoquan's tirade just now aroused his conscience in his heart, he is the son of a farmer, he knows the suffering of farmers in this society, and he has always wanted to do something for farmers. He suddenly discovered that no matter how rich he was, he alone could not change the current situation of migrant workers. He can donate 100 million. And even more, and money is not the solution to the problem.

If the social concept and system do not change, it will be difficult to change the identity of migrant workers as a socially disadvantaged group.

Many times, as a businessman, Lin Dong focuses too much on money, and most of the differences in his consideration are from the perspective of money. Truly. He can find Boss Wu and Fat Dun, pay high wages to the people they bring, and give the workers a good living environment and food. But he only took care of one or two hundred people.

Only then did he realize how small and insignificant his power was.

How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house?

Lin Dong could only comfort himself like this. He wants to do his best to create warmth for migrant workers within the scope of his ability!

Hu Guoquan noticed the change in the expression on Lin Dong's face, as if he was in a painful thought. At this moment, in his heart, Lin Dong has been defined as a young man with a conscience, ambition and a sense of social responsibility. Among the people he met, it can be said that it is very rare.

Hu Guoquan suddenly found that this young man was too angry with him, and he immediately liked this young man and was willing to communicate with him. …,

"Xiaolin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Dong raised his head and said with a smile: "I feel a little uncomfortable, I am the son of a farmer, and I especially can't see farmers suffering and being bullied." But I felt that my strength was small and I couldn't change anything, so I felt very sad. ”

"There are not many young people like you who are sympathetic and socially responsible, and society needs young people like you to know you and me and be happy." Hu Guoquan praised Lin Dong for the first time. Not many people can get his praise.

Lin Dong smiled slightly and said, "Brother Hu is too famous, I'm just a person with a little conscience." In my company in the future, I will try my best to solve the three problems you appealed to! ”

"Well, a spark can start a prairie fire. These are the words of our great leader. If all bosses could have a conscience like yours, society would be much better. Hu Guoquan clapped his hands and applauded.

Lin Dong said with a smile: "Our strength is small, and the key is to see the strength of the government and the strength of society." ”

"You're right, it's thought-provoking. The government is the people's government, so it should do practical things for the people, and those who serve the government should be close to the people and love the people. What is political performance? It shouldn't be how much GDP has grown, nor should it be the repeated rebuilding of the road that has just been built for a few years, the people's reputation is the best political achievement! Hu Guoquan said in high spirits.

Lin Dong became more and more suspicious of this person's identity, so he likes to talk about political affairs, and he has a scholarly temperament, can't he also be a professor at a certain university? But thinking about it again, each villa here is expensive, and he can only buy it for 10 million thanks to Yang Ling's relationship. Hu Guoquan said that his unit arranged for him to live here, and it was obviously impossible for him to be a university professor.

Lin Dong speculated wildly about Hu Guoquan's identity, but there was no conclusion, and seeing that the time was not early, he got up and said: "Brother Hu, I have been bothering for a long time, I should leave." ”

Hu Guoquan didn't keep him, and sent him outside the door, "Xiaolin, we are neighbors, and we will often move around in the future." I enjoyed chatting with you. ”

"If Brother Hu doesn't dislike it, come to my house another day as a guest, I'll make a hot pot, let's get some wine and drink, and drink happily when the time comes, talk about everything in the south and the north, wouldn't it be happy!" Lin Dong said with a smile.

Hu Guoquan said: "This dare is good." Let's talk about it, how about Ming'er? ”

Lin Dong thought about it, and there was no arrangement for tomorrow night, so he said: "Okay, Brother Hu, I'll prepare the things as soon as possible, you can just come over and eat when the time comes." ”

Hu Guoquan nodded straight, and the two said goodbye in front of his house.

When Lin Dong returned home, he saw that the time was nearly ten o'clock, and he chatted for more than two hours when he first met Hu Guoquan. At this time, he didn't know the identity of Hu Guoquan, the deputy mayor of Xizhou City, and if he knew his identity, it is estimated that he would not have such a careless chat tonight.

It wasn't early, after returning home, Lin Dong began to wash, and went to bed after washing.

……

Speaking of Damiaozi Town, early this morning, Qiu Weijia got up early in the morning, and got up as soon as the rooster crowed. After getting up, it was still dark outside, and when I looked up, the sky was full of stars, and it was only five o'clock when I saw the time. scolded the crowing rooster for a few words, returned to the house, and continued to sleep with his wife Ding Xiaojuan in his arms.

When I woke up again, the sun was already on my face, thinking of the agreement with Huo Danjun and others, I turned over and got out of bed, quickly got dressed, and saw that the time was almost eight o'clock, and ran towards the guest house without washing my teeth or brushing my face.

Huo Danjun and others were waiting for him, and when Qiu Weijia ran there, he was sweating all over, and his whole body was hot. I saw Huo Danjun and his party in the hall of the guest house, and smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry, you guys, I slept."

When everyone saw his messy hair, they knew that he must have overslept and smiled.

Huo Danjun said: "Xiao Qiu, we just got up, it's okay." ”

Qiu Weijia said: "Before going to the big temple, let's fill our stomachs first, everyone, I'll take you to taste our big temple town early." ”

And all the people were hungry, and when they heard this, they all applauded. (To be continued......)
