June 30, 1998, 13 o'clock Municipal canteen

When eating together in the city's ** small canteen, Wen Chunming said, Secretary Gao, I think the high consumption tax you suggested, I think it can be collected. Whether it is a tax or a fee can be discussed. Stipulate that he will be charged taxes or fees for how much money he spends at one time. It not only advocates a good social atmosphere, but also invisibly forces those gentlemen to convert part of their consumption funds into production funds and create more jobs, which is of great positive significance. Gao Changhe said, well, you might as well discuss with Comrade Jiang Chaolin first, make a draft first, and then we will study and decide together.

After the meal, Gao Changhe and Wen Chunming went to the hospital to visit Zhao Yecheng's daughter Zhao Zhuzhu, and asked the hospital to be responsible for it to the end and not leave any sequelae. The female dean and the attending doctor reported that Zhao Zhuzhu's gas poisoning was shallow, and it was estimated that there would be no sequelae after treatment in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

Some reporters also rushed to the hospital to interview Gao Changhe and Wen Chunming.

Wen Chunming was very annoyed and said to the reporter: There is nothing to talk about, don't report this kind of thing, there is no positive significance, and asked the reporter: Who asked you to come?! Gao Changhe also said that it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of orientation, and it is necessary to publicize the measures taken for laid-off workers from a positive perspective, and to report more on the advanced deeds of laid-off workers in their arduous pioneering work.

Gao Changhe also inquired about He Zhuoxiao's mother's condition. The female dean said that she had just done an examination in the morning, and her condition was very bad, and the lung cancer was in an advanced stage, which had spread to the ground and was in danger of her life at any time. Gao Changhe said, Director He is not here, you must be more dedicated, at least you can't let the old man die before Director He comes back. The dean said, let's do our best.

On the way back, the two party and government leaders sat in the same car and continued to talk about work.

Wen Chunming said: "He Zhuoxiao's lesson is profound enough, should we think of a way to make a few specific regulations and measures to protect such difficult cadres?" ”

Gao Changhe said: "Of course, the cadres must protect, but they must also protect the people. I am afraid that there are not a few ordinary people like Zhao Yecheng who have special difficulties. What to do? Where do we get all this money? ”

Wen Chunming thought for a while and said: "Secretary Gao, there is another kind of tax, I think you can also consider collecting: the personal income tax of the escort ladies, according to the report of the Cultural Bureau and the Public Security Bureau, there are now no less than 100,000 escort personnel in our city. ”

Gao Changhe joked: "Mayor Wen, are you jumping off the wall in a hurry, or do you dare to think and dare to do it?" ”

Wen Chunming said solemnly: "Secretary Gao, I'm not joking with you. Do you know how much the escort lady earns every month? The average person is not less than 5,000 yuan, and more than 10,000 yuan, so you should be taxed if you get it! ”

Gao Changhe was also serious: "Will this make people misunderstand that we allow escorts in Pingyang?" ”

Wen Chunming smiled bitterly: "Which city in the country allows escorts?" Which city in the country does not have an escort? Taxes are collected and taxes are collected, and pornography is swept away, and it should be swept and swept. Besides, it's not our family who does this, and the newspaper said a few days ago that many places have already collected taxes on escort misses! ”

Gao Changhe nodded: "I've also heard about this." However, there is no precedent in our province! ”

Wen Chunming said: "Are you afraid that the provincial party committee will pick up your black yarn hat?" Not really, right? ”

Gao Changhe smiled: "Mayor Wen, don't provoke me. After thinking about it, he said, "You have to be cautious about this matter, you might as well quietly send the comrades of the local taxation bureau to the cities where the three escorts collect taxes to find out, and see what the situation is going to be determined there." ”

Wen Chunming said: "It's okay, when I see Director Zhou of the Local Taxation Bureau, I'll say hello to him." ”

Gao Changhe explained: "You have to pay attention to the secrecy of this matter, don't get fishy if you don't eat it." ”

Wen Chunming nodded: "I understand." ”

Gao Changhe sighed again: "Mayor Wen, I think Comrade Xiaoping said it well, development is the last word." If we don't further boost the economy, I don't think we can fundamentally solve the problem by just engaging in this kind of petty compassion. For example, if you are a flat rolling mill, only by quickly engaging in asset restructuring and letting Dongfang Iron and Steel merge and play the role of those imported equipment is the right way. You are reluctant, you keep dragging, what should you do in the end? The contradictions will drag on more and more, look, people are dead today! It should be said that the dead Zhao Yecheng and the errant He Zhuoxiao were both harmed by the difficulties of the rolling mill. If the rolling mill had had a good life and there were no problems economically, none of these contradictions would have arisen. ”

Wen Chunming was stunned for a moment and said, "Changhe, you really look for opportunities to do work." ”

Gao Changhe didn't confess until this time: "Chunming, do you think I'm really so confused, I will take a position so easily on the issue of accepting the merger of Dongfang Iron and Steel Group?" I'm just trying to force you, we're in the same boat now, and sometimes we're in a hurry, so we'll do whatever it takes. ”

Wen Chunming said: "But Changhe, you must also know that it is not I, Wen Chunming, who is responsible for the difficult situation of the rolling mill, and the roots are still in the old system ...... past."

Gao Changhe smiled: "I already know this very clearly, the root is in the old system in the past, but brother, I look at you, on the one hand, you are indignant and accusing and denouncing the old system, and on the other hand, you are still actively defending it!" ”

Wen Chunming said angrily: "I will maintain it?" I?! ”

Gao Changhe said, "Isn't it you? has been giving it blood transfusions, helping it with loans, and dying to save face and suffer crimes. ”

Wen Chunming thought about it seriously, and felt that Gao Changhe's criticism was not unreasonable, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, I was planted in the flat rolling mill, and if I want to save face, I can't do it." ”

Gao Changhe smiled: "What are you planting?" As soon as your attitude changes, the flat rolling mill may be able to come back to life. After a pause, he asked again, "Hey, Chunming, have you seen that female reporter from Xinhua News Agency in the past two days?" How's her grand essay going? ”

Wen Chunming shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen her since the interview that day." ”

Gao Changhe said at this time: "Chunming, my opinion has also changed, it seems that Jiang Chaolin and your opinion is right, this article has to be sent, the lesson is too profound!" How many people have been harmed, from you, the mayor, to He Zhuoxiao, to the workers who participated in the fundraising, it should be said that it is a lesson in blood! ”

Wen Chunming was a little surprised: "Changhe, aren't you afraid of committing it?" ”

Gao Changhe waved his hand: "Don't talk about committing crimes, when I have time, I will go to the provincial capital to say hello to Secretary Liu Huabo and Governor Chen Honghe, and Zhao Yecheng's suicide note is also for the leaders to see." ”

Wen Chunming said: "And He Zhuoxiao, after more than 30,000 yuan is returned, can you not file a case?" ”

Gao Changhe was obviously embarrassed and said: "It depends on Sun Yadong's attitude. ”

Wen Chunming said unhappily: "Changhe, it depends on Sun Yadong's attitude, he will send you ten He Zhuoxiao, this person is impersonal, and there is no flexibility at all!" ”

Gao Changhe sighed, didn't say anything, and moved his gaze out the car window.

The car was driving on Minmin Road, and Gao Changhe accidentally noticed that the parasols donated and uniformly made by the Private Entrepreneurs Association had appeared on the stalls on both sides of Minmin Road, and he was a little relieved.
