Chapter 398: Acting Mayor

Wei Boyu said: "I just asked him a word and left, I think you are a veteran department-level cadre who once led the Zhongnan Company, and an alumnus of the Central Party School, and the level must be higher than theirs, so I came to you directly." Chairman, what I just said is not up to standard, please don't pay attention. ”

"It's fine. If you have any opinions in the future, it is best to say it in person, and it is okay to mention it at the democratic life meeting, and I will definitely correct it if it is wrong, and if there is one, I will change it, and if there is none, I will encourage it. Do you have anything else to do, if you don't have it, go to work, help me call Tang Xiaolong from the Technique Department, I have something to find him. ”

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Soon, a handsome guy came, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and smiled when he entered the door, "Chairman, are you looking for me?" ”

"Xiaotang, come in and sit, it's nothing, let's talk."

"Chairman, I'm too busy to win, I'll leave if I don't have anything to do."

Wuyang smiled: "Is it really that busy?" Don't even have time to sit for a while? ”

"Yes. This new factory is not to buy equipment, I chose it on the Internet, and tomorrow it will be decided and reported to the company's board of directors for study, not so-so, otherwise it will be scolded. ”

"It doesn't matter, I'll tell you a general direction, it's much easier. One must be an imported product, and the domestic one is not considered, and the other must be Germany and Japan, and other countries are not considered, so isn't it much simpler? ”

Tang Xiaolong thought for a while, "Chairman, everyone knows that imported products are good, but if we all buy imported ones, there will be no way out for our national industry." ”

"You sit down and say, Xiaotang, think about it. We are now in trouble. Funds for the purchase of equipment. The head office is transferred from other companies, if the head office does not give adjustment, our company will definitely not be able to come back to life. The money given to us by the head office is very limited, and must be used on the cutting edge, and we are not qualified to sacrifice our own interests for the sake of the revitalization of national industry, and if our company cannot organize production and operation well, we have more than 20,000 people. Who's in charge of the meal? ”

"But the task given to me by the department is to choose among the domestic equipment."

"It's right that you carry out the instructions in the department, but now that I told you, you don't have to care about how the department instructs, I will naturally arrange for your department, after all, you have to listen to me, right?"

Tang Xiaolong said: "That's fine." Chairman, in fact, I also tend to import products, whether it is energy consumption, product purity, failure rate and maintenance rate, imported products are much better than domestic products. ”

"If we get better in the future. The quality of domestic products has improved, and we still have to use domestic ones. After all, it's a national industry. ”

Tang Xiaolong said: "Chairman." I searched on the Internet, there is a state-owned enterprise, was acquired by foreigners, now they produce equipment, is exactly what we need, their products are publicly quoted, only 4.5 million US dollars a set, more than 1.5 million US dollars cheaper than imported from abroad, than the production of state-owned enterprises, only about 5 million yuan higher, I carefully studied, its cost performance is the best in the same kind of products, but we think that it is also produced by foreign enterprises, can not buy. ”

Wuyang smiled: "You don't care what they say, list them and discuss them together when the time comes." The workers produced by foreign enterprises in China are all Chinese. ”

"Chairman, you are a young person after all, there are no fixed rules and regulations in your mind, and it is easier to accept new things."

"Xiao Tang, how are you doing in the technique?"

"Let's generalize. After graduating from college for 4 years, I became an assistant worker, and after two years, I became an engineer, and I was content to be a senior engineer for the rest of my life. ”

"Are you looking for a partner?"

"I talked about one when I was in college, and I contacted them for two years after graduation, and now it's Lao Yan who is flying. Who made us poor, and we are in such a remote place. ”

"What would you think of you if you were to be my secretary?"

"Chairman, with all due respect, there are rumors up and down the company that you made a mistake and were assigned to our company, is that so?"

"What do you think?"

"Personally, I think that you are so young, you have little experience in officialdom, and you will inevitably make mistakes when making decisions, but these are just small episodes in the middle of your life journey, and they have nothing to do with the overall situation."

"Would you like to come, then?"

"Of course I do, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do a good job."

"Just come if you want to. Xiaotang, I can tell you unmistakably that I didn't make a mistake when I came here from such a thriving company, and as for what the reason was, I didn't figure it out myself, and the individual obeyed the organization. ”

"Chairman, when am I coming?"

"There's no hurry, I'll notify the office first and let them lower the order. Now you get the job at hand, and then when the order arrives, you can get a driver's license and come back to work. Xiaotang, what do you think of Teng Yan, secretary of the Youth League Committee? ”

"He's a good comrade."

"How about I draw a red line for you?"

Tang Xiaolong hurriedly shook his hand, "Thank you for your kindness." Chairman, Secretary Teng is a department-level cadre, and his family is a senior cadre, I came from a common people's family, and I am still a common person, no matter what aspect, the difference is too great, no. ”

Wuyang smiled: "It's not promising, a department level scares you?" At most, you will be in the Lord, and she will be outside the Lord. ”

"No, resolutely not. If she dictates to me in the future, I won't be able to live a day. ”

"Then it still depends on her own performance? If you can treat each other as equals, you can still accept it? ”

"There's no way to try this, just look at her usual arrogant appearance, you can imagine it. Boss, please don't mention this. ”

"You don't have the courage to show you and your body. Let's talk about it first, if not, it's just a small episode in the long journey of life. ”

Tang Xiaolong smiled: "Okay, anyway, we're not afraid to wear shoes barefoot." ”

"Xiaotang, how can you fall in love with this mentality? You have to treat others and yourself equally with a normal heart. Otherwise, don't start this one. lest we not see each other in the future. ”

"Boss. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Okay, you can get busy."

If Wuyang had Wei Boyu, he didn't dare to go up to invite Teng Yan and Xu Tongtong, so he went to the parking lot alone, and then called Teng Yan. They drove to the city and then went to the construction site in one car.

On December 2, the party committee was convened to study the issue of ordering equipment. The members of the Party Committee are all members of the Board of Directors. It's just a few more people.

The equipment was finalized to purchase the equipment of foreign enterprises in China, and among the members of the party group, several of them were from the production background, and they were very familiar with the cost-effectiveness of the equipment, and it did not take much time to settle down.

Wuyang said: "I have a proposal to promote Comrade Teng Yan, secretary of the Youth League Committee, to the assistant to the chairman, and I invite you to discuss it." ”

Yin Dongping said: "Comrade Wuyang, why don't you communicate about such a big matter in advance? ”

Wuyang said: "It's not too late to communicate. Comrade Teng Yan, you know best. Can you please introduce it to you? ”

Yin Dongping briefly introduced it, and then put forward Weber. Also as a candidate.

The new board members did not know either of them, so they said that they would listen to the opinions of the old comrades of the Southwest Company.

Sun Zhenqiu, chairman of the trade union, said: "Compared with the two comrades, I think Comrade Teng Yan is much stronger. As the secretary of the Youth League Committee, under the difficult circumstances of the enterprise, he was able to grasp the work of the Youth League in a sound and impressive manner, so that the majority of League members and young people played an important role in production. Comrade Weber, as the confidant of the former secretary, played a role in the-for-tat confrontation of the company's leading group, and if he was promoted, it would definitely not be conducive to the unity of the company's middle-level cadres and the mobilization of all positive factors. ”

Chang Sheng said: "Comrade Wei Boyu's essence is still good, he is the director of the party office, and if he does not listen to the secretary, there is no way to carry out the work, so he is not at fault." However, Chairman Sun's words are very correct, we must proceed from the overall situation in everything, so I agreed to promote Comrade Teng Yan first. ”

The speeches of these two people basically set the tone, and the subsequent speeches all followed this tone, and the last one was voted by a show of hands, and among the 13 members of the party committee, only Yin Dongping and the director of the party office did not raise their hands.

Yin Dongping said that the minority obeyed the majority, and arranged for the director of personnel to report materials to the head office.

As soon as he got to work the next day, Wuyang received a call from the secretary of the municipal party committee, "Comrade Wuyang, please come to the municipal party committee, I have something to look for you." ”

"Okay, I'll come over right away."

When he arrived at the compound of the municipal party committee, Secretary Dong was already waiting under the office building. There were two more people standing next to him. The two shook hands and greeted, and then introduced: "This is Comrade Li Wuyang." Comrade Wuyang, this is Comrade Huang Benli, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, and Comrade Peng Cheng, Director of the Office of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the First Division, that is, my secretary. Now that Secretary Teng of the Provincial Party Committee has summoned us to convey the documents of the superiors, let's rush over. ”

Wuyang and Huang Benli took a car, and on the way, Wuyang asked: "Secretary-General, do you know what is going on?" ”

Huang Benli said: "I didn't say it on the phone, I don't dare to guess." Chairman Li, I have to travel for a few hours, Secretary Dong asked me to introduce you to the basic situation in the city, where do you start? ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "Secretary General Huang knows the situation in the city well, let's talk casually, where is the chat?" ”

"Good. The population of our city is 2.2 million, divided into 4 districts and 7 counties, with an urban population of 670,000, of which the urban population is 280,000, the per capita income of the urban population is 4,200 yuan, and the rural population is 1,100 yuan. ”

"Secretary-General, with all due respect, there is a lot of water in these statistics, what is the reason for such poverty?"

"There are many mountains and little land, and there is no industry, and another important reason is that the phenomenon of drug abuse is relatively serious, and almost every county has several villages that are drug addicts, and the villagers do not produce, the land is barren, the villagers lack food and clothing, and the money for government relief has also turned into green smoke and drifted away."

"There are a lot of AIDS patients, right?"

"Yes, the urban population has been surveyed, and more than 8,000 people are carriers of the virus, so the rural areas have no way to carry out the census, so they have to be left to fend for themselves."

"Drug cultivation in the Golden Triangle has decreased now."

"So the price is higher. It used to be more than 100 pieces of 1 gram, but now it is more than 400. No one can do anything about this issue. ”

Wuyang thought to himself, there can't be anything helpless, the key is to see how we grasp it, to see if the leader attaches importance to it. It depends on whether the cadres who are specifically responsible are really responsible. Now it's none of my business. When hanging high. There is no need to talk too much.

"Secretary-General, how is the industrial base of the city?"

"There are still some companies. State-owned enterprises mainly include fertilizer, pesticide, grain processing and other enterprises, but they are all losing money. Private companies started late in the city, there are no large enterprises, and they don't pay much in taxes. The largest tax payers are still tobacco, oil and other enterprises, but there is only a VAT share, not much money. ”

"Can the Treasury?"

"Comrade Wuyang. As you must know, the poorer the place, the more people crowd into the ranks of public servants, and our civil service is seriously oversized, but our finances are stretched. Let me tell you this, since the state announced that there are financial resources, civil servants can be paid an extra month's salary, and our city has not paid it until now, and even the normal salary is borrowed, moved, and carded everywhere, you look at this road in tatters. In fact, the state has already allocated funds, and the funds have been diverted by us to eat. The arrears of wages, medical expenses, three insurances and one housing fund, at least 3 billion yuan, and 2 billion yuan owed to bank loans, not including the money for eating and drinking in those towns and villages. ”

"Secretary-General, how can you pay back so many debts?"

"Reach out to the upper reaches of the road, collect from industrial and mining enterprises, collect from highways, the poorer you get, the poorer you get. Our mayor was transferred not long ago, and he is not happy for his promotion, but happy for leaving this place, you can imagine. ”

"It's hard for you. Who's going to pick up this stall now? ”

"I don't know what to say for the time being, but with hundreds of millions, I don't have to worry about the New Year. Alas......"

Wuyang said: "Secretary-General, you are all good officials, and you are worried about the locality. ”

"It's a good official, but it's also a mediocre official, he can't make money in his hands, and he's incompetent. Comrade Wuyang, I have found that many corrupt officials are capable, what if we release some corrupt officials from prison and give them some poor places and economic development, and give them hundreds of millions? ”

Wuyang smiled: "Secretary-General, you are biased. There may not be no capable people among the Qing officials. The most important thing for corrupt officials is to spoil the party style and social atmosphere, and when the economy develops, they are greedy, and if they are greedy for money, they go abroad, and the common people cry every day, and the land is not working. ”

"Then it's the same as the United States, if you don't have much money, you won't be qualified to be an official at any level, and the property of officials will be made public, so that you won't be greedy."

"We also have rules for the disclosure of assets. During the war years, our "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" was enough, and the current party discipline and state law are not too many, and they cannot be said to be not strict. The main thing is that our supervision is not effective, the supervision mechanism is virtually non-existent, and the officials are both athletes and referees. ”

"It's a systemic issue, not something we can discuss."

"Yes, we just need to take care of ourselves."

Entering the compound of the provincial party committee, it was already half past eleven, Secretary Dong took a few people straight to the door of Secretary Teng's office, and after the report, Secretary Dong, Wuyang and Secretary General Huang were soon let in, and Peng Cheng was invited to rest.

Secretary Teng walked out from behind the table and shook hands with the three people. Wuyang saw it, and it turned out that it was this big guy who had dinner with him that day.

After greetings, Wuyang smiled and said: "Secretary, I don't know that it was you that day, and your words are offensive, please Haihan." ”

Secretary Teng said with a smile: "Where is the offense, what I listen to is the truth, it is usually difficult to hear." You may be seated. ”

He also pointed to a person who had just come in and said, "This is Minister Zhang of the Provincial Party Committee, and I ask him to announce the appointment of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee." ”

Minister Zhang didn't sit down, took out the document and read it. "Comrade Li Wuyang was appointed as a member, member of the Standing Committee, deputy secretary of the Lanjiang Municipal Party Committee, and acting mayor, and Comrade Huang Benli was appointed as a member, member of the Standing Committee, and executive vice mayor of the Lanjiang Municipal Party Committee. Secretary, how many appointments are not announced, right? ”

"Okay, you may be seated. Comrades, due to reasons that everyone knows, the contingent of cadres in our province has undergone a major adjustment temporarily, and I personally went to the central authorities to request that the appointment of the leading bodies of your municipal party committee and government come back, otherwise it would not have been so soon. The appointment of other cadres will be announced after you go back. Comrade Dong Jie, these appointments have been discussed with you, are you confident in your future work? ”

Secretary Dong said: "That's enough." ”

"That's good. Comrade Wuyang, you didn't know in advance, we are here not to distract you, and the work of your company is equally important. The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee has inspected you before and assessed that you are an excellent cadre, and we are satisfied with your personal ethics, work ability, and work performance. ”

"Secretary, if you ask me to make a request, I'm welcome."

"Say, I'll answer you on the spot if you have any requests."

Wuyang smiled, "I want electricity, I want to build roads, and I want loans." ”

Secretary Teng said: "It is not possible to build a hydropower station, your river is an international river, and it is too extensive to intercept the river and repair the dam." I instruct the provincial government to erect transmission lines for you, and to ensure that you have enough electricity for the duration of my term. In the future, when you have your own money, you can also build a thermal power station, and I instruct the provincial government to apply for indicators for you. You can raise your own funds to build high-grade highways, and you can't help with loans, because you owe too many debts, and banks are not directly under the management of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. ”

"Secretary, I know some bank bosses, some domestic, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as foreign, they have opened branches in China's big cities and economically developed areas in the east, can the provincial party committee and the provincial government approve them to set up branches as soon as possible, we can take out loans nearby."

"Okay, I will urge the provincial government's financial office to coordinate this matter and report it to the government as soon as possible. Anything else? ”

"It's gone."

Secretary Teng said: "Comrade Wuyang, you don't know the situation in Lanjiang, and you can't blame you for underestimating the difficulties in your work. As for the provincial management cadres of your municipal party committee and government, if you think they are incompetent, they will first adjust their work, and then the organization department will investigate and verify them. Other cadres who have the right to dispose of them in the hands of the municipal party committee or government may be decisively replaced, and at the same time may be boldly promoted and used. We can even do the same as you did in Lujiang County, so that some cadres can voluntarily plunge into the tide of economic construction. ”

Secretary Dong said: "Xie Lu, Xie Provincial Party Committee gave us the sword of Shang Fang. ”

Secretary Teng said: "Comrade Ben Li, do you have any comments on the provincial party committee's arrangement of your position? ”

Huang Benli said: "No, the individual obeys the organization. I believe that those who can work with an expert in economic construction like Comrade Wuyang will be able to make a difference. ”

Secretary Teng smiled, "You are the hope of Lanjiang, if you do a good job in Lanjiang, it will be a good job in our province, so you can work hard." ”

Secretary Dong said: "We must live up to the ardent expectations of the provincial party committee and strive to do a good job in Lanjiang." ”

Minister Zhang said: "When is your economic work conference held? On the first day of the meeting, Secretary Teng and I went over to announce the appointment. ”

Secretary Dong said: "We were originally scheduled to be the 5th, but it seems that the economic development plan has to be revised, and it may have to be postponed for two days." ”

Secretary Teng said: "There is no need to postpone, the postponement will fall heavily with other market times, and we can't get by." I think you will convene a standing committee tomorrow and ask Comrade Wuyang to make a key speech and put forward suggestions for amendments. (To be continued......)
