Xu Haodong said: "What I want to explain is that in addition to the serious bureaucratic style of your superiors, what is even more unbearable is formalism. Last year alone, 6,327 documents were issued by your provincial-level organs alone, of which 2,234 were indicated to be signed and read by me, the secretary of the municipal party committee. ”

"I further calculated, if you add the documents of the central organs, the provincial party committee, the provincial government and the city, there are more than 4,000 documents that need to be signed by me. This means that I need to sign more than 18 documents a day for 20 minutes each and at least six hours on a statutory working day. ”

"I also have to have meetings, which average more than three hours a day. I still have to go down to the grassroots level, I have to meet customers, and I have to deal with unscheduled matters. So I calculated another account, it takes three Xu Haodong to be the secretary of the municipal party committee, one to deal with documents, one to hold meetings, and one to deal with daily matters. This is called three heads and six arms, if you want to go out to socialize at night like before, you still need a Xu Haodong, and three heads and six arms are not enough. ”

Li Zhihong smiled, Shang Jingwu smiled, and other provincial leaders also laughed.

Xu Haodong continued: "There are more than 60 ministries, commissions, departments and bureaus under the provincial party committee and provincial government, and if each ministry, commission, department and bureau has ten departments, there are as many as six or seven hundred departments. Six or seven hundred departments, one department comes up with 20 ideas and initiatives a year, and we will be busy in the dark. But in my opinion, most of the ideas and initiatives are formalism, most of them are made up by looking for nothing to do, holding back when they have nothing to do, and most of them are made up blindly to show the existence and authority of their own department. ”

"A thousand threads above, a needle below. If you talk about an idea or a move, we have to mobilize dozens or even hundreds of people to implement it, which consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. We are still thankless, this inspection, that evaluation, disturbing our peace, at least half of the time to deal with you, can not concentrate on the people at all. We privately call more than 60 ministries, commissions, departments, and bureaus in the province mothers-in-law, and 6 or 700 departments sisters-in-law, and none of us can afford to offend them. ”

Li Zhihong waved his hand and said solemnly: "Comrade Xu Haodong, you have made the topic bigger and farther. ”

Shang Jingwu said with a smile: "Secretary, it's rare to hear the real voice below, let's listen to it." Comrade Xu Haodong, please continue. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Secretary, governor, leaders, the integration of the four cities is actually a long process. The current situation of the four cities is different, and the market conditions are even more different, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, my understanding of the integration of the four cities is a process of division and integration, and in the words of the common people, all the vegetables cannot be put into one basket. ”

"In the eyes of our comrades below, if a special leading group for the integration of the four cities is established, it is equivalent to one more mother-in-law in our four cities. Theoretically speaking, every document, application, report, etc., issued to the higher authorities in our four cities, must be sent to this leading group, and this number must be in the thousands. Therefore, if we really want to set up a special leading group for the integration of the four cities, I am sure that the establishment of 30 people is far from enough, and I am afraid that 100 people will not be enough. ”

So, is this four-city integration leading group retreat-oriented or pragmatic-oriented? How powerful is it? And how much responsibility is there? When our four cities have problems, difficulties, and conflicts, do we have to find a leading group first? Can this leading group directly coordinate with the various departments directly under the provincial government? If the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government need to come forward to solve the problem, then what is the significance of the existence of this leading group? If everything has to be reported to this leading group, and then this leading group reports to the provincial party committee and provincial government, isn't this a hot day to cover the quilt and make it hot by itself? ”

"I have a suggestion for all leaders to consider. Each of our four cities has set up a four-city integration leading group, and we believe that our approach is worth learning from. The sign of our four-city integration leading group is hung in the municipal government office, and the municipal government office is the leading group office. Don't add one person, don't add a table, Mayor Kong Zhenghao is the team leader, Executive Vice Mayor Chen Xiujie is the executive deputy leader, the other deputy mayors are all deputy leaders, and the leaders of the municipal party committee are all members of the leading group from me. That is to say, everyone is the promoter of the integration of the four cities, but usually not, as long as there is a need, everyone is a member of the leading group for the integration of the four cities. ”

Shang Jingwu said: "This is a bit interesting, Haodong, you continue." ”

Xu Haodong said: "I'll give you an example. For example, after we took over 10 townships and towns on the south bank of the Haizhou River, we set up 10 receiving teams overnight, with the leaders of the four sets of municipal teams serving as the leaders and the 20 deputy leaders serving as the top leaders of the municipal departments. At this time and during the reception period, the 30 directors and deputy leaders are members of the four-city integration leading group, and after the reception work is completed, these 30 directors and deputy leaders are no longer members of the four-city integration leading group. At this time, all members of the Party Committee of the Municipal Public Security Bureau are members of the leading group for the integration of the four cities, and after the establishment of the police station of the high-tech industrial park, the work enters normal order, and all members of the Party Committee of the Municipal Public Security Bureau are no longer members of the leading group for the integration of the four cities. ”

Shang Jingwu nodded and hummed, "Come when called, come when you come, you can win in battle, and you will disperse after victory, your form is flexible and mobile." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Governor, my specific suggestion is to set up the provincial four-city integration leading group as a retreat organization, or the retreat is mainly pragmatic and supplemented, and the operation and working methods are just like the four-city integration leading group of our four cities." Comrade Tian Yuqing, executive vice governor, is the leader of the group, and Comrade Li Zhiwen, vice governor, is the executive deputy leader, and the two leaders usually have their names; when there is something going on in our four cities, the two leaders are the conveners, and the leaders of the provincial departments involved in the handling of affairs are members of the leading group. ”

Shang Jingwu looked at Tian Yuqing and Li Zhiwen, smiled and asked, "Lao Tian, Zhiwen, what do you think?" ”

Li Zhiwen said: "I think Comrade Haodong's suggestion is very good, we might as well give it a try, and if it doesn't work, we can also correct it." ”

Tian Yuqing also said: "I also agree with Comrade Haodong's suggestion, look for us when there is something, don't look for us if you have nothing, there is a leading group when there is something, and there is no leading group when there is nothing, this suggestion is good and very creative." ”

Nodding, Shang Jingwu looked at Xu Haodong and asked, "So, Comrade Haodong, the leader of your four cities, what role do you play in the process of integration of the four cities?" ”
