"There is always resistance to change, and there will be unexpected difficulties."

Liu Jun said slowly, his tone relatively calm.

Gao Changhong's implementation of the affordable housing policy in Jianghan Province is much better than when he implemented this policy in Yulan City, both the internal environment and the external environment. At that time, Liu Jun could be described as having internal and external difficulties, and it was difficult to deal with it. At least not a single provincial party secretary fully supported him.

This is also the difference between Gao Changhong and him. Gao Changhong always has more than eighty percent certainty before he makes a move. Liu Jun's actions don't seem to be as safe as Gao Changhong. Of course, there is a big difference in the situation. Liu Jun's insistence on affordable housing is very sensitive, involving the game of the overall situation of the country, in order to give his old man firm support, Liu Jun resolutely launched an attack in the face of resistance.

And now, Gao Changhong is following up, at least no longer "unique", and he is trying to defy public opinion. Several provinces and cities have already made corresponding attempts and discussions, and even if there are examples to follow, the degree of attention is not so high, and the opposition from the top is relatively weak. In the current system, as long as there is no strong opposition from the top, opposition from the grassroots is not enough to shake the determination of the rulers.

Gao Changhong nodded and said, "The two pilots I did at the beginning had some problems in terms of methods. Because it is a pilot project, it is not only inclined in terms of policy, but also in terms of funds. Now it seems that this kind of pilot approach is not very appropriate. After the promotion of the province, the policy can continue to be tilted, but the tilt of funds is difficult to do. ”

Liu Jun bowed slightly, quite agreeing.

Gao Changhong admitted to his face that "the pilot is not accurate", which not only requires great courage, but also shows his great trust in him Liu Jun. The atmosphere of the conversation became more and more relaxed.

"Yes, it's not just a matter of thinking, it's also a matter of reality. Over the past few years, high land transfer fees have become the financial pillar of some cities, especially first-tier cities. Now that housing prices are flattening, these cities have lost this revenue and are immediately stretched thin. They used to be extravagant, with unlimited overstaffing, unlimited public expenditures, and unlimited launch of large projects, without the support of this income, to put it mildly, some city managers are helpless and don't know what to do! ”

Liu Jun said bluntly.

Gao Changhong took a sip of the teacup and said, "That's the case." In fact, to solve this problem, it is a system engineering. First of all, we must start with the way of thinking, start with reducing expenses, and then open up new sources of income. Only by removing the dependence of urban finance on land resources and comprehensively stabilizing housing prices can it be truly feasible. ”

After a while, Gao Changhong added: "It's very difficult!" ”

Despite the support of Secretary Luo, the second-in-command is the second-in-command, involving a series of issues such as staffing, public fund expenditure, and the performance of those in power, Gao Changhong, the provincial governor, also feels that it is difficult. He also seems to be in desperate need of a supreme position like Yoo Jun in the province.

But such a thing is not rushed. The path of advancement arranged for him by the Gao Department was designed according to Gao Changhong's mature and stable character. One step at a time, never rush in. If Gao Changhong seeks the position of secretary of the provincial party committee at this time, it will be too late to operate, and the senior boss will not support it.

Liu Jun smiled and said, "I heard that Secretary Luo will go to other provinces in the near future?" ”

Gao Changhong nodded, glanced at Liu Jun, and a flash of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

What, is Liu Jun going to encourage him to fight for the position of secretary of the Jianghan Provincial Party Committee at this time?

Although Gao Changhong has had a lot of contacts with Liu Jun recently, the relationship between the two has never reached such a "close" point. If Liu Jun really had this thought, Gao Changhong couldn't help but be vigilant.

Obviously, Liu Jun knew what Gao Changhong was thinking very well, and said with a smile: "Who will go to Jianghan Province to take over Secretary Luo's position, the central government does not seem to have completely decided. In my opinion, there are some similarities between the personalities of Comrade Li Changjiang and Secretary Luo. ”

The so-called Comrade Li Changjiang is a senior minister of state ministries and commissions, and he is 63 years old. His name is on the list of the secretary-elect of the provincial party secretary of Jianghan Province this time. However, among the three contenders, Li Changjiang's "ranking" is low. Mainly because of his age. In terms of seniority and prestige alone, Li Changjiang is the highest among the three.

Gao Changhong smiled and said indifferently: "Comrade Li Changjiang's personality is indeed somewhat similar to Secretary Luo. ”

Undoubtedly, Liu Jun's thinking is the same as his, if he strives for Li Changjiang to be the secretary of the Jianghan Provincial Party Committee, two years later, he will reach the upper limit of the age for serving at the ministerial level. Although there are also regulations from the central government, it can be extended for three years. Of course, these three years can also not be extended. When you reach age, you will take a back seat, and it is not impossible.

In this way, Gao Changhong has been the governor of the province for three years, and it is very logical to take over as secretary of the provincial party committee, and no one can raise any strong objections. Relatively speaking, compared with the transfer to the secretary of the provincial party committee of another province after the expiration of the term of governor, Gao Changhong can go up to the level of secretary of the provincial party committee two to three years in advance.

Since Yoo Jun said this, it shows that he will exert influence on this matter. Liu Jun's influence on Yan Liu's family at this stage is far from being comparable to before. Coupled with the operation of the Gao system itself, it is not impossible to send Li Changjiang to the throne of the secretary of the Jianghan Provincial Party Committee.

Gao Changhong took the initiative to hand Liu Jun a cigarette, lit one himself, took two puffs, and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, Comrade Li Tao, how is your performance in Yulan City?" ”

Liu Jun smiled: "Overall, it is a big improvement from five years ago. ”

"Yes, at that time, he had just come down from the ministry, and he was still a bit nerd. The theoretical level is very good, but the practical experience of governing cities, especially megacities, is lacking. Gao Changhong nodded in agreement with Liu Jun's evaluation of Li Tao, and said: "But with four years of training, especially the two years of working with Secretary Liu, he has gained a lot. told me on the phone that I really learned a lot of knowledge from working with Secretary Liu, and my horizons were much broader. Secretary Liu is his mentor and friend! ”

Yoo Jun smiled, but he was not modest. When he and Li Tao teamed up, he taught by words and deeds, which really made Li Tao understand a lot.

Four years ago, Li Tao had just entered the eyes of the high-level bosses, and the high-level department intended to train him as a member of the reserve cadre echelon, but his position was very unstable and he was in the "inspection period". If Li Tao's performance is not good, then his career will basically come to an end, and it will be difficult to make a big breakthrough in the future. And now, Li Tao has successfully gained a firm foothold in Yulan City, and the rapid development of Yulan City in the past four years naturally has his share of credit. In other words, Li Tao has officially become a reserve echelon cadre valued by high-level bosses.

Liu Jun invited Gao Changhong today, and he also wanted to talk to him about this issue. Since Gao Changhong took the initiative to put it forward, it would be even better.

"Li Tao's progress is still obvious."

Liu Jun further affirmed.

Gao Changhong smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the prime minister intends to ask Comrade Liu Guangxing to preside over the work of the Ministry of Communications? ”

** The convening is imminent, and the personnel changes of some ministerial-level cadres have gradually surfaced. Liu Guangxing will be recommended as a candidate for membership of the Central Committee at the current party congress. Basically, this is a precursor to his imminent entry into a ministerial leadership position.

Liu Jun was not shy about it, and replied with a smile: "Yes, there is this idea, of course, in the end, it needs to be decided collectively." ”

The system of democratic centralism practiced by our party. The premier has a strong say in the selection of heads of ministries and commissions of the State Council, but this does not mean that the appointment and dismissal of every ministry and commission of the State Council will be completely consistent with the premier's opinion. The appointment and dismissal of ministerial-level cadres is not something that can be counted by anyone alone.

Gao Changhong smiled and said, "This is for sure." ”

"If Comrade Liu Guangxing really goes to work in the Ministry of Communications, my personal opinion is to recommend Comrade Li Tao to the Central Committee to serve as secretary of the Yulan Municipal Party Committee. He has been working in Magnolia for more than four years and is very familiar with Magnolia's work. I personally believe that his continued stay in Yulan City is conducive to the follow-up work and the realization of the long-term plan of Yulan City. ”

Yoo Jun made his attitude clear.

Gao Changhong said with a smile: "To be able to get such a high evaluation from Secretary Liu, I think Comrade Li Tao will be deeply honored...... Secretary Liu, Province A is really full of talents. Comrade Liu Guangxing and Comrade Chai Shaoji are both pillars of talent. ”

Liu Jun said calmly: "Comrade Chai Shaoji is conscientious and responsible in his work, has excellent personal ethics, and has rich experience. I have already recommended him to the central government to work in Yuzhong Province. ”

This is the main reason why Liu Jun made an appointment with Gao Changhong today.

It is now the second half of '07, and if history repeats itself, next year, the huge natural disaster in Yuzhong Province will still inevitably occur. Liu Jun was very worried and strongly recommended Chai Shaoji to be the governor of Yuzhong Province. But at present, the situation is not optimistic, and there are many people staring at the position of the governor of Yuzhong Province.

Liu Jun hopes to reach an agreement with Gao Changhong, and the two major political blocs have joined forces to push Chai Shaoji into this position.

In fact, this has nothing to do with politics, no matter how much energy is expended, Yoo Jun wants to make it happen. Li Changjiang and Li Tao are all "chips" opened by Liu Jun.

I believe this should be enough to impress the old Gao family. Originally, the current trend is that cooperation is more favorable.

Gao Changhong smiled and said: "Although I have not dealt with Comrade Chai Shaoji, I have also heard that this comrade is indeed as Secretary Liu said, and he is extremely serious and responsible about his work. It is a good thing for such cadres to go to work in Yuzhong Province. ”

Yoo Jun smiled and nodded.
