After all, I came down to inspect the work, and I still had to listen to the report. However, Shi Yanan suggested that the members of the four sets of team leaders report collectively, but Zhao Anbang did not agree. It is impossible for him to not say a word in the big report of so many people, but he must have an attitude, and he will inevitably have to make some "important instructions" again. He is the governor of the province, and the official has a big mouth, and the comrades below will use his mouth to say their own words. His criticism reminds that it will not be published in the newspapers publicly, and even if it does, it will become something like "hope". And when he is in the right place, it is possible to make a beautiful big article and make a big deed. What "Governor Zhao Anbang fully affirmed the remarkable achievements of Wenshan's speed and new industrial zone", and what "on behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, he encouraged the cadres and masses of Wenshan to get the steel up as soon as possible", which is contrary to his original intention.

Two days later, one afternoon, Zhao Anbang listened to Shi Yanan and Fang Zhenggang's reports at the municipal party committee guest house.

As soon as Shi Yanan entered the door, he complained, "Actually, it's better to make a big report, so that the leaders can fully understand the situation!" ”

Fang Zhenggang also said: "That's it, Governor Zhao, we all notified you last night, everyone wants to listen to your instructions!" ”

Zhao Anbang laughed at himself: "Mayor Fang, I'm just afraid of giving any instructions, so I won't listen to the big report!" Aside from the lessons of the past, I have to at least accept the lessons of the symposium in the financial and banking circles the day before yesterday, right? Don't let you be blinded again! Okay, the big report is exempt, just the two of you have a small report! Hurry up, I'm going to Silver Mountain in the afternoon! ”

Shi Yanan opened his laptop, "Okay, Governor Zhao, then I'll report, Mayor Zhenggang added!" ”

Zhao Anbang said again: "Comrade Yanan, Comrade Zhenggang, this is an internal report behind closed doors, don't think too complicated, be frank, what do you say!" If you want to sing a hymn to your new industrial zone, you can also sing a hymn! ”

Shi Yanan waved his hand, "What kind of praise do you sing for the new industrial zone?" These projects are on normal operation, your chief has inspected them, and Wu Yaya and the comrades of the management committee have reported to you again, so we will not say more. Zhenggang and I should give a comprehensive report on our work, mainly talking about three aspects: agriculture, the restructuring of state-owned enterprises and vulnerable groups! ”

This is what Zhao Anbang didn't expect, he thought that this Hum Ha Er was going to sing praises for the new industrial zone!

Shi Yanan first talked about agricultural issues, looked at his laptop from time to time, and reported a series of specific figures. It can be seen that this female secretary is not a bureaucrat, she is very familiar with the agricultural situation in Wenshan, and her report is realistic.

After the report, Shi Yanan concluded: "...... The abolition of agricultural tax and special product tax has aroused the enthusiasm of grain farmers, and there is no problem in increasing grain production and farmers' income. However, due to the abolition of the agricultural tax, the agricultural surcharge could not be collected, and the township and town finances became strained. Wenshan is an underdeveloped area, mainly maintained by the agricultural tax surcharge, and now the financial resources have been cut off, 43% of the township finances are about to go bankrupt, and 65% of the village-level political power is facing paralysis! ”

Fang Zhenggang added: "If this problem is not handled well, it will affect the stability of rural areas. We always criticize the following arbitrary charges, but under this realistic condition, what if we don't charge arbitrarily? Some towns and towns are charging fees indiscriminately, and now the people's awareness of rights protection is also strong, and they don't agree, fight, quarrel, and make petitions, and recently the petitions in this area have risen again! When the comrades from North China came to investigate a few years ago, we reported it to the comrades from North China! ”

Zhao Anbang knew in his heart that this was not a problem in one area of Wenshan, but that there were similar problems in the entire northern region, so he said: "Your report has found the right person, the comrades in North China are also in charge of agriculture, as far as I know, he is about to study this issue with Vice Governor Zhang and the comrades of the relevant departments, and I will urge him when I go back!" Personally, I think that we can't make up our minds on farmers, and we can solve it through multiple channels based on provincial, municipal and county-level finances! ”

Shi Yanan smiled bitterly: "Governor Zhao, I hope the province can be more considerate of the localities, and the financial situation at the city and county levels in Wenshan is enough!" By the way: some of the money in your province that should be given has not been given enough! Niushou mining area in our city enjoys county-level treatment, and the compulsory education funds should be transferred and paid by the province. ”

Zhao Anbang also remembered this, "I have approved the report of the Niushou mining area, and I approved more than 20 million last year, right?" ”

Fang Zheng just interjected, "Governor Zhao, it should actually be more than 120 million!" After that, he took out a few documents and materials in time, "We hope to solve it once and for all in accordance with the relevant regulations of the province!" ”

Zhao Anbang picked up the documents and materials, and smiled at Shi Yanan: "Yanan, you said by the way, just prepared the materials by the way!" Okay, good, you guys are working well together! "However, there is a special situation in the Niushou mining area, the Wenshan Mining Bureau is there, the enterprise runs education, the coal situation is so good this year, there is no full allocation, and the education will be taken out of the enterprise immediately, and the money that should be given in the province will be given enough!" ”

Shi Yanan also reported on the reform of state-owned enterprises, "State-owned enterprises are also tackling tough problems. Facts have proved that bankruptcy and debt evasion is not a good way, harming others and not benefiting yourself, it is not for you and the province to stop in time, and it is difficult to say what the situation is now. There is a stalemate with the bank, and we can't get so many loans in the new industrial zone! It is also not ideal to engage in management buyouts, which will not only cause the loss of state-owned assets, but also the workers will not understand it, and there will be great resistance, and several pilot enterprises will be in chaos. I have a new idea after I first arrived, to engage in ESOP, that is, enterprise employee stock ownership, and we are currently engaged in a pilot! ”

Zhao Anbang's eyes lit up and looked at Fang Zhenggang, "ESOP? IS IT AN ABBREVIATION FOR 'EMPPLOYEE STOCK OWNER SHLP PLAN'? Hey, Zhenggang, how did you think of it? ”

Fang Zheng was just happy, "Governor Zhao, you should know!" I have been studying the economy of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, or did you send me to study it when you came to Ningchuan as the secretary of the municipal party committee? Poland's experience in the transition to a market economy proves that this form of transition can minimize the shocks caused by the restructuring and reflect the principle of fairness to the greatest extent! ”

Zhao Anbang seems to have returned to the past, and the other party's title has changed, "Fang Kesi, you are right, but ESOP is fair and inefficient!" If everyone holds shares in an enterprise, everyone has become the boss, and there is no boss and no person responsible for the enterprise. How do you want to solve the efficiency problem? ”

Fang Zhenggang said without thinking about it: "There must be a process to solve the problem of efficiency. Poland and the Czech Republic have completed this process. The equity of employees is not immutable, it will be transferred and circulated, and it will eventually be concentrated in the hands of real entrepreneurs under market-oriented conditions! This process may be relatively long, and ESOP companies may not be efficient for a period of time, but because it embodies the principle of fairness and reduces shocks, it is worth paying some costs locally! ”

Shi Yanan said: "Governor Zhao, we have studied this issue repeatedly, and the final understanding is relatively unified: first, the enterprises that try ESOP are inherently inefficient, so there is no efficiency loss; Second, according to the current fashionable reform model, engaging in fire sale and merger will inevitably cause a large number of workers to be laid off and unemployed, and this is exactly what Zhenggang and I and most of the comrades in the team do not want to see! Governor Zhao, do you know what the real unemployment rate is in Wenshan right now? It's already over the cordon! The above teams have not told the truth, and have been deceiving the provincial party committee and the provincial government! ”

Fang Zhenggang said again: "Governor Zhao, developed countries in the West are also considering the issue of welfare employment now!" ”

Zhao Anbang was touched, and had some respect for Shi Yanan and Fang Zhenggang: These two comrades are relatively rare, and their minds are not confused! Knowing the importance of the law of fairness, there is a string of social stability! So he said, "Okay, Yanan, Zhenggang, you have a point!" Let's try this ESOP boldly, what is lacking now is not efficiency, but justice! Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, at least it's a kind of welfare employment, and we should pay attention to summarizing experience in time! ”

Fang Zhenggang did not give up efficiency, "Governor Zhao, we actually attach great importance to efficiency, but the efficiency of Wenshan cannot count on those old state-owned enterprises with heavy burdens, but rely on new enterprises represented by the new industrial zone!" I said at the city's party and government cadres conference that we should be efficient from new enterprises and fair and stable from old state-owned enterprises with ESOP! ”

Zhao Anbang nodded again and again, and exclaimed: "The idea is right!" Before I came to Wenshan, I was worried, I was afraid that your heads were full of the pile of steel in the new area, but now it seems that this is not the case, and I am also relieved! He and Fang Zhenggang said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Fang Kesi, I didn't expect it, you gave me an unexpected surprise!" ”

Fang Zhenggang was a little presumptuous, and said sarcastically: "Governor Zhao, this is not the result of your long-term embellishment!" ”

Shi Yanan interjected again, "We gave you an unexpected surprise, don't give us an unexpected sadness!" ”

Zhao Anbang joked: "Comrade Yanan, did I make you sad?" I'm afraid that you will be alone here for the New Year, and your heart will be sad, so I arrested your old Gu and temporarily changed the plan to come to Wenshan first! ”

Shi Yanan said angrily: "Okay, Governor Zhao, I'm reporting work, don't joke with you!" He got to the point again, "Your chief, don't cheat us, okay?" Why did the coal from the Wenshan Mining Bureau suddenly be allocated by the province? What is this? Isn't it still the planned command economy of the past? Don't even count the pre-orders you've signed in the past? ”

Zhao Anbang understood, "Oh, you said this! Comrade Yanan, don't listen to Wu Yaya's blind screams, I am deliberately knocking on him, so that he has the string of macro-control in his heart! Of course, the pre-purchase contract that has been signed counts, but you have to figure out the increment yourself! The energy shortage in the province, even if the coal from other provinces is transferred to Han in the future, it is impossible to give it to you! ”

Shi Yanan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, that's good!" Hearing Wu Yaya say this last night, even Zhenggang and I became nervous, such a big stall in the new area can neither cut off funds nor energy! ”

Zhao Anbang reminded: "However, will the funds and energy be cut off in the future? Be on your guard! ”

Fang Zhenggang said: "At present, it seems that it will not, there is no big problem with the project funds, there is a gap in energy, but the problem is not too big, our Municipal Coal Bureau will strive to ensure that the thermal coal and coking coal in the new area, and small coal mines in towns and towns can also be used!" ”

Shi Yanan sighed, "Governor Zhao, if you don't remind you, we will also be vigilant!" Presiding over the work in an underdeveloped city like Wenshan, Zhenggang and I are walking on thin ice, and we dare not take it lightly in all aspects! ”

Fang Zhenggang said: "That's it, the day before yesterday, Secretary Yanan didn't happen to go to the museum, so there would be a big mess!" ”

Zhao Anbang glanced at Shi Yanan, "Oh, Comrade Yanan, what's the matter?" What's going on? ”

Shi Yanan told him what happened the day before yesterday, and finally said, "...... I asked the following to find the reason, and the little orphan said to me, what can be the reason? Isn't it because of poverty, everyone wants to save these twenty yuan in ticket money! ”

Zhao Anbang sighed: "This kid is right, this kind of thing may not happen in the developed areas in the south!" ”

Shi Yanan said: "In Wenshan, poverty is not a concept, it is a living blood and tears!" Governor Zhao, there are some situations you may not know: On the morning of the third day of the new year, a laid-off worker of Shanhe Group jumped from the upper floor, alarming Secretary Pei of the Provincial Party Committee! The night before yesterday, another life occurred, and when I came to report today, I read the newspaper and found out that a 42-year-old unemployed female worker in a weaving factory supported her family by prostitution, and as a result, she had an argument with a prostitute client over 30 yuan of prostitution money, and was strangled to death by the prostitute! Today's "Wenshan Morning News" has a large article! ”

Zhao Anbang was shocked, and after a long time, he said depressedly: "Poverty is still creating evil!" Yanan, you comrade has done a really good job at this point, you can think of inviting two orphans to celebrate the holiday with you, good, very good! ”

Shi Yanan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is also a gesture, just to remind comrades to care more about the disadvantaged groups and to seek a stable conscience." No matter what you say, it is me who is presiding over the work of Wenshan, and I can't pretend to be invisible, I can't be insensitive, and now many comrades are insensitive! ”

Zhao Anbang thought about it and muttered: "Yes, yes, I know this kind of comrade, there are quite a few!" In addition to caring about the black gauze hat on his head, he doesn't care about the life or death of the people, and his conscience has already let the dog eat it! ”

Fang Zhenggang became excited, "Governor Zhao, there are even more bastards!" Like the corrupt officials in Gulong County, they bought officials from above, sold officials from below, and sent gifts to me and Comrade Yanan! Except for one county magistrate, Wang Lin, almost all four sets of teams were trapped, how can we explain it to the people? Dare to say that the vast majority of cadres are good? ”

Zhao Anbang's face was ugly, "At least you can't say that anymore in Gulong County!" If we say that, the common people will scold us for being hypocritical and shameless, and the regime of Gulong has completely rotted out, and it is not a people's regime! A few years ago, at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, which was studying the Gulong issue, I said a point of view: Don't mention any party spirit, let's let some party members and cadres talk about the moral conscience of being a human being, okay? As a party member, do you have to be worthy of this party? As a cadre and a national civil servant, should you be worthy of the country? You're welcome, none of them are sorry! ”

Fang Zhenggang said: "Governor Zhao, I don't understand, aren't they afraid of the destruction of the party and the country if they continue like this?" ”

Zhao Anbang said: "I'm also thinking about this question, and now I'm thinking more clearly: these people probably don't have the party and the country at all in their hearts, isn't this their party and the country, what does it have to do with them whether they die or not?!" ”

Shi Yanan launched an emotion, "Governor Zhao, when you talk about moral conscience, it reminds me of a typical example just caught, that is, the matter of the new industrial zone, when the demolition and relocation land was requisitioned, the comrades of the demolition and relocation office accidentally discovered: There is an ordinary farmer in Wufu Village in the new district, and the two of them are thrifty and help a poor family in Wenshan City to cultivate a college student!" Since I was in junior high school, I have been subsidizing five or six thousand yuan a year, and now it has been eight years, and they themselves are not rich! During the demolition, I went to his house to see that except for a few old houses, there was almost nothing of value! ”

Fang Zhenggang picked up and said: "Governor Zhao, we have specially sent someone to understand that these two peasants are not our party members, and they have not even been in the regiment, but how many of our party members can do their moral spirit of helping the poor and helping the poor?" ”

Zhao Anbang said: "This is the crisis! If this continues, how can we talk about the advanced nature of our party? And on what basis do they represent the fundamental interests of the people? Is it represented? After a moment of contemplation, he instructed, "Yanan, Zhenggang, this model should be well promoted!" In addition, you can arrange to invite this peasant couple here, and I want to meet them! ”

Fang Zheng immediately asked the secretary to arrange to pick up the person. At lunchtime, the respectable peasant couple arrived, the man's name was Hu Dajun, and the woman's name was Zhuang Yuling. During the meal together, Zhao Anbang toasted Hu Dajun and Zhuang Yuling and his wife emotionally, and said: "Thank you, you not only helped a poor family and a college student in Wenshan City, but also educated our society, your conscience and moral spirit illuminate a piece of the sky!" ”

Hu Dajun and Zhuang Yuling were very simple, they didn't think so much, they didn't say anything, they drank the wine he toasted, they didn't even eat the dishes, they looked at him and smiled stiffly, which reminded Zhao Anbang of his father and brother who were still in the countryside.

Zhao Anbang pointed to Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan present, and asked, "When your house was demolished, they didn't mess around, right?" ”

Hu Dajun smiled innocently, shook his head and said, "No, no, the five rooms gave us 35,000 miles!" ”

Zhuang Yuling followed and said: "That is, the village has divided 23,000 miles of land for sale, and we have handed it all over to the village to become a shareholder!" ”

Zhao Anbang deliberately asked: "Just believe them like that?" What if they lose your shares? ”

Hu Dajun said: "No, the city and the district are all calling, and the steel mill is being built again, and we are watching it every day!" Murakami said that after the factory is built, people under the age of 40 can still enter the factory to work, at least 800 yuan a month, and we will wait! ”

Shi Yanan patted his chest and said: "Governor Zhao, don't worry, if they really make the two of them lose, I will pay for it!" ”

Zhao Anbang said with a smile: "Okay, Dajun, Comrade Yuling, quickly toast to Secretary Shi, she has given you support!" ”

Hu Dajun toasted as ordered, but he excused Shi Yanan and said: "Even if you lose, you can't rely on the secretary!" We all know that investing in shares is not depositing in the bank, and we will pay dividends when the factory makes money, and we have to admit it if we really lose it! ”

Zhao Anbang exclaimed: "What a good common people, comrades Zhenggang and Yanan, you have a great responsibility!" ”

Shi Yanan said: "Yes, Governor Zhao!" So Zhenggang and I are desperately trying to boost Wenshan's economy as soon as possible and reduce the current unemployment rate! This year, there is a plan for projects to be started in the new area and new enterprises in the city to strive for 100,000 to 120,000 new jobs, including arranging for Hu Dajun, a group of farmers who have lost their land! ”

Fang Zhenggang also said: "In the final analysis, the foundation of poverty alleviation still depends on development, and development is the last word!" ”

Zhao Anbang didn't say anything more, sandwiched the dishes for Hu Dajun and his family, chatted with them about family life, and talked about his father and brother, and some old things when he was the town party secretary in Liuji Town, Gulong County more than 20 years ago. The tension and restraint of Hu Dajun and his wife gradually relaxed, and they were a little reluctant to give up after chatting.

After eating this Chinese meal with this ordinary peasant couple, when he was about to get in the car and go to Yinshan, Zhao Anbang suddenly remembered the two orphans, took out the five hundred yuan he brought with him, and asked Shi Yanan to transfer it to the children, but Shi Yanan did not accept it.

Zhao Anbang was unhappy and said: "Comrade Yanan, you ask for a stable conscience, and I also ask for a stable conscience!" This money doesn't play a role, but what you said, it's a gesture, which means that I'm not numb yet! ”

Shi Yanan couldn't say anything more, so he had to accept it, "Governor Zhao, then I will thank you on behalf of the children!" ”

This was the end of the surprise attack on Wenshan. The situation was much better than he had imagined, even a little unexpected. What I especially didn't expect was that Fang Kesi would become so down-to-earth and capable back then. Yu Huabei doesn't care if he has any thoughts in his heart, but this guy's judgment and evaluation of Wenshan is still correct. There may be irregularities in the approval and land use of the new industrial zone, but this does not start in Wenshan, and it will not end in Wenshan, which is still a constant problem. He seemed to be overly sensitive and overreacting. It seems that this team is a good team, relatively comprehensive, has a position, stresses righteousness, and is not focused on political performance, only focusing on GDP. Thinking about it from their point of view, Wenshan is underdeveloped, so poor, and laid-off and unemployed are so serious, what should we do if we don't make big steel? Where will the 100,000 to 120,000 new jobs come from? You can't let the horses run and stop them from grazing! If you don't let the horses eat more grass, the horses won't be able to run, and the Wenshan engine won't start.

But I don't know why, he was still worried about such a big stall in the new industrial area, and considering the reunion of husband and wife, after saying goodbye to Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan, he temporarily decided to keep Gu Gensheng. Gu Gensheng was very surprised and didn't want to stay, saying that he was willing to follow the leader and continue to advance towards Yinshan. Zhao Anbang said, don't move forward, go undercover! Stay in Wenshan for a few more days, do some in-depth investigation, and make a further assessment of the overall situation and risks of the project in the new area. Figure out the actual progress, how much money to invest, and how much money needs to be invested.
