Chapter 15 Elected Mayor
Thank you for the big commuter pass support of "zjun971210" with a bow!
――――――――――
Zhou Xincong, deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, and Yuan Lin, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, went to Mianxi to guide the election work at the end of the year. .// Wu Jinquan and Lu Zhengdong and Liang Kai and Zhang Xinpushan, directors of the Municipal People's Congress, accompanied him.
It stands to reason that this year is not an election year, and the annual regular people's congress is not worth making a fuss, but the situation in Mianxi is slightly different, that is, Lu Zhengdong will enter the election process as the only mayoral candidate at this people's congress.
There is no need for Yuanlin, the executive deputy minister, to go out for an election like Mianxi, at most it is enough for a deputy minister or even a director to follow Zhou Xincong, and coming down is just a front station to guide and understand. The real work is still on the side of the Mianxi Municipal Party Committee.
Obviously, the province is not too relieved about this election, not only Yuanlin, the executive deputy minister, came, but also came to Mianxi in advance.
After eating, Wu Jinquan and Zhang Xinpu accompanied Zhou Xincong to rest in the hotel, and Yuan Lin asked him to accompany him for a walk in the courtyard.
"Zhengdong, are you a little worried about the election?"
Lu Zhengdong:
"To say that there is no apprehension in my heart is also self-deception, but I feel more that the responsibility is heavy."
Lu Zhengdong was not surprised by the province's worries, after all, he was too young.
Not only was the province worried, but even the people close to him, including his brother-in-law and others, couldn't help but be a little worried, and they all expressed themselves in front of him in their own ways. There's definitely some work done behind the scenes.
However, Lu Zhengdong now has a certain bottom in his heart, although the votes may not be too high, he still has a greater certainty of being elected.
Lu Zhengdong's confidence still comes from a series of previous plans.
After a long talk with Liu Zhenqiang in the province, Lu Zhengdong also clarified some of his ideas after careful consideration.
Although Lu Zhengdong said in front of Shen Rushuang that he was not worried about the election, in fact, he was not worried in his heart, which was also self-deception.
A good relationship with Wu Jinquan is the premise for him to be elected smoothly and win the support of the local mainstream forces. This is a guarantee of no surprises.
However, it is not enough to put hope in this.
Although Zhang Xinpu and others hope that they will be elected, he has been very toned during his time in Mianxi, and has not shown his strong side, and he is a young mayor who is conducive to control, and he is really elected, and he may not be as easy to handle as a mayor.
However, Zhang Xinpu and others may not let him be elected with a high vote. It may be in their best interest to be elected mayor with a somewhat embarrassing vote.
Although Wu Jinquan is definitely going to do work for his election, Wu Jinquan's ability to control Mianxi City as a whole still needs time, and if it is not done well, there will be accidents.
Lu Zhengdong has experienced unexpected results in the election, although he was unexpectedly elected that time, and he had the last laugh. But in turn, it's a wake-up call.
The delegates attending the meeting must have their own independent judgments, and may have doubts about whether he, the young mayor, can lead the people of the whole city to boost the economy and usher in the great development of Mianxi, and perhaps some of the people who were originally scheduled to vote by Wu Jinquan and Zhang Xinpu will be lost. That's pretty dangerous.
Therefore, in addition to proposing some measures to win the understanding and approval of the broad masses of cadres and the masses in administration, Lu Zhengdong also focused on the work of two delegations that were very likely to have problems while ensuring the stability of the number of delegations, and the results were quite good, and at least he was able to win the support of the delegations.
Yuan Lin also understood what Lu Zhengdong meant, and said:
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about the election."
Yuan Lin pondered for a moment and said: ...,
"Zhengdong. If you want to be fast, you can't do it, the work can't be done in a day or two, and people accept that you also have a process, you can't spread the stall so big because of the election, many things are easier said than done, although I don't do economic work. But Mianxi's economic and financial foundation still knows a little, such a big mess, how can Mianxi's finances be affordable? You have raised everyone's interest in this way, but if you can't achieve it, then the greater the hope and the greater the disappointment, which will do you more harm than good for your future development. ”
Lu Zhengdong knew that what Yuan Lin was talking about was a long-term development blueprint with a certain degree of long-term nature, such as the one-hour economic circle in Mianxi, the transformation of the old urban area, and the revitalization of the industrial economy. If he can't achieve the goal he set in this regard, not only will Mianxi see him as a character who can only brag, but I am afraid that he will also become Zhao Kuo on paper from the provincial leaders.
Loyal to the ear, Yuan Lin was able to remind him of these at this time, and it was also Yuan Lin who was about to retire, so he reminded him so directly, indeed out of love for him.
"Minister Yuan, I don't just come up with these ideas because of the election, I really want to do it. As for the question of funds, in fact, in my consideration, road construction and urban renovation do not need to be financed by much money, and the funds of the municipal finance are mainly used for the industrial economy and supporting construction......"
"Oh? So how do you get money out of road construction and urban renovation? ”
Yuan Lin was slightly stunned and asked.
Lu Zhengdong:
"In addition to a small amount of financial investment from the county and city, the main problem of funding for road construction is to rely on loans and the support of superiors. The city has made contact with several banks such as the Provincial Construction Bank and the Agricultural Bank of China, and has already made some eyebrows to repay the loan at a fee. ”
Lu Zhengdong dares to say this, and he is also confident, first, the provincial construction bank has always had a relationship, has basically reached an intention, and will never return empty-handed, and second, he knows the direction of the country's financial policy in the next year.
Ninety-seven years is destined to be an unforgettable year for Asian countries and Chinese people.
Hong Kong's return to China is a great event, but at the same time, the Asian financial crisis is about to erupt.
This crisis will have a profound impact on the world, and the economies of several Southeast Asian countries have suffered a heavy blow. The Asian tigers, who have always been beautiful, are no longer beautiful.
However, there is a danger and there is an opportunity, because the domestic financial sector is still in the process of restructuring, and the financial crisis has a relatively small impact on the domestic market at the level of financial subsidence. In the case of a sharp depreciation of the currencies of the surrounding countries, the RMB is still strong, which means that foreign trade will encounter great challenges, and foreign trade will encounter challenges, and it will become inevitable to stimulate domestic demand, and road construction is a very important means to stimulate domestic demand.
In this regard, Lu Zhengdong is already making preparations. Not only thinking about Mianxi going it alone, but even thinking about joining forces with Gaotang to widen the main road from Mianxi to Gaotang can also strive for it, so that the two will definitely have a better effect together, of course, this is after the Mianxi separate project is won.
By the time the official news came down, government officials at all levels from all over the world who were staying in hotels near the central ministries and commissions had the same dream of running projects and asking for funds to travel around the capital, and he had already done it a long time ago.
Start early. has a relationship, Lu Zhengdong doesn't believe that Mianxi can't get a relatively large piece of soup in the middle......
Lu Zhengdong saw that Yuanlin was listening attentively, so he also explained his thoughts and thoughts:
"As for the renovation of the old urban area, my idea is to rely on the city's own resources for rolling development......
For a city, its most important resource is land, and the income from land is extra-budgetary income. It is also called the second finance, which does not need to be handed over to the higher level finance, and can be self-collected and self-supported. …,
Since the reform of the tax system, local fiscal revenues have been tight, and local governments have made decisions on land. However, there is still a process before land revenue really accounts for a considerable proportion of the fiscal revenue. In third-tier cities like the West, land is not very valuable as a whole, and the income from land sales accounts for a very small proportion of the entire fiscal revenue, but there is a very large scissors difference between the land price in the urban area and the suburbs, which is an opportunity for Lu Zhengdong to carry out rolling development.
Many late-night buildings and residential buildings in the center of Mianxi are low-rise old houses. By moving these houses to the periphery of the city, the freed up land can be used for development, so that the original residents can live in new high-rise buildings, the developers can make a profit, the city's main business districts will be created, the city will be developed and renovated, and the city will have funds for the construction of public facilities, and even a certain financial surplus. Such relocation will inevitably drive up land prices in the periphery, and can create greater benefits for the finance.
And such land prices do not lead to high housing prices, because even if land prices rise, because the base of land prices is too low, it is still not very high in the cost of housing prices, and housing prices really rise, which is a matter of several years in the new century......
Of course, the foundation of a city's development still depends on the development of the overall economy, especially the development of the industrial economy, which is the foundation to support a city like Mianxi. Ermian West has a certain industrial base, and what he needs is to act as a catalyst as a final catalyst......
Yuan Lin nodded, it seems that Lu Zhengdong is not too ambitious and empty cannons, but has a certain degree of certainty, so he said:
"It seems that you are in the chest, and I am worried about nothing."
"Minister Yuan is not unfounded, the difficulties are indeed very big, really to turn these into reality, the difficulties are very great, any work needs people to do, cadres need to implement, this is the most critical, I can find a way to think of such a solution to the problem of funds, but how to make the concept and ideological problems of Mianxi cadres further emancipated, but also need the strong support of the Minister Yuan. The cadres in Mianxi need to look at the world and replenish fresh blood to bring about the change in the ideology and concepts of the cadres in Mianxi......"
Yuan Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard Lu Zhengdong's words:
"It's about the exchange of cadres, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has listed your Mianxi as a pilot......
He is very clear about the situation of cadres in Mianxi, and it seems that Lu Zhengdong is still very smart, he has caught the pulse of Wu Jinquan and the pulse of the local forces in Mianxi, and has very skillfully grasped the psychology of Wu Jinquan and catered to the mentality of the local forces, which is the premise of Lu Zhengdong's election.
It's quite old and spicy, and what Yuan Lin appreciates even more is that Lu Zhengdong is very sober and confident, but he is never blindly optimistic, knowing that this is just a small test for him, the big test is still ahead, and the real problems are still behind......
――――――――――――――――――
The Fourth Session of the Third People's Congress of Mianxi City was successfully held in the Mianxi Great Hall. The main task of the meeting was to elect the mayor of the Mianxi Municipal People's Government.
The executive chairman of the conference is Wu Jinquan, Zhang Xinpu and others. Zhang Xinpu presided over the meeting.
Lu Zhengdong and other leaders of the district party committee, district government, and district CPPCC, retired senior leaders of the original four major families, the main leaders of the Municipal Procuratorate and the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, and the main persons in charge of the Municipal Normal College and the Municipal Medical College attended the meeting and took a seat on the rostrum.
members of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, members of the Municipal People's Government, and inspectors who are not representatives of the Municipal People's Congress; The vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the head of the office of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress and the working body attended the meeting as observers.
In the venue, the black pressure was full of deputies to the National People's Congress participating in the congress, and on the curtain of the rostrum, a huge national emblem was hung, and ten bright red flags were lined up on both sides, which was particularly solemn and sacred. …,
After voting on the list of superintendent voters and scrutineers. began to vote on the mayoral candidates by secret ballot, looking at the people's congress deputies who were filling out the forms in the audience, Jiang Bingming, deputy secretary of the party and the masses, picked up the teacup, smacked it gently, opened the red cover of the ballot, slowly crossed the space on Lu Zhengdong's name, looked at it with satisfaction, and closed the ballot again.
Jiang Bingming is the third-in-command in the city. He was born and raised in Mianxi, and he can be the mayor, which is the highest position he can sit in Mianxi.
Although he also knows that it will be difficult to win over the mayor. But losing to a young man undoubtedly made him feel a little uncomfortable......
After the voting began, the two chief voters took the lead in putting a sacred vote into the ballot box, and then the delegates voted in turn, from the members of the presidium of the conference on the rostrum to the leaders of the municipal party committee and municipal government. Then the deputies to the people's congress in the audience walked through the ballot boxes in turn and threw their ballots.
Guan Shizhang in the back listened nervously to the votes in front of him, he knew the situation Lu Zhengdong was facing, after all, he was young and had many votes against Lu Zhengdong's election, if any link went wrong. There is a possibility of losing the election.
After waiting for more than an hour, the counting of votes was over, and after reporting to the presidium of the National People's Congress, the chief voter announced the results of the vote counting loudly:
"The 12th People's Congress of Mianxi City has 448 deputies to the National People's Congress, and 446 deputies participated in the voting, which meets the quorum. 448 ballot papers were issued and 448 were returned. The election is valid. Recovered ballot papers. There are 445 valid tickets and 3 invalid tickets. The results of the votes are reported below. ”
The superintendent paused. There was silence. It seems that you can hear a needle dropping. Immediately afterwards, the voice of the superintendent of the ticket sounded in a low voice:
"The votes of the candidates, Lu Zhengdong, 317 votes in favor, 101 votes against, 30 abstentions......"
The applause was thunderous, at this time, even Jiang Bingming had to smile on his face and applaud hard, because everyone in the audience was watching.
At this time, in the back of the poem, the hanging heart finally let go. Mayor Lu is finally about to open a new page in Mianxi. But then, he felt amused again, he, the secretary, seemed to be more nervous than his own mayor......
Drinking water from the teacup, Zhang Xinpu was also a little surprised, as the actual person in charge of the election, let Lu Zhengdong be elected, Wu Jinquan is the highest person in charge, he is the second person in charge, for Lu Zhengdong's election, he knows in his heart, originally according to his estimate, the votes in favor are about 250 votes, there are those who do support Lu Zhengdong, and there are those who arrange their own votes in favor, and this sudden extra nearly 60 votes in favor is undoubtedly the defection of several groups, but I don't know who it is, and count it this way, The number of deputies to the people's congress who really support Lu Zhengdong is not a small number.
The number of votes is just a small issue, what worries Zhang Xinpu is that it is not clear who has defected, and Lu Zhengdong can do these things quietly, which is what worries him.
On the rostrum, Jiang Bingming's face sank slightly, Zhang Xinpu slowly smoked a cigarette and glanced at Lu Zhengdong, Lu Zhengdong was smiling and talking to Wu Jinquan beside him, Zhang Xinpu looked at them a few times, and then withdrew his gaze, then slowly stood up and announced that Lu Zhengdong was elected as the mayor of the Mianxi City People's Government.
Then, naturally, Lu Zhengdong made his inaugural speech:
"When the delegates cast a solemn vote in the ballot box and placed their hearts on it, it was not only full of sincere trust, but also made me carry a kind of responsibility and mission." Some small Caozhou county officials, one branch and one leaf are always concerned. Under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee with Comrade Jinquan as the team leader, and with the support and supervision of the Municipal People's Congress and the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, I am willing to dedicate myself to the vigorous land of Mianxi, to the people of Mianxi, who value love and righteousness, and to constantly create a new situation in government work on the basis of the fruitful work of the previous mayors.
I deeply feel that the development of the economy and the improvement of people's livelihood go hand in hand, the process of improving people's livelihood is the process of government economic development, so that the development of Mianxi, but also let the masses of Mianxi puff up, this is not only an administrative concept, but also a kind of normal work, which requires wholehearted, selfless, sincere dedication......
The people of the government will be worthy of their conscience and mission, and will turn the trust of the four million people of Mianxi into a force for progress......"
Lu Zhengdong's voice was loud and magnificent, but his speech was very crisp and did not make a long speech, which attracted countless people's congress deputies who did not know much about the mayor, and they couldn't help but be very curious, and they were all looking forward to what kind of tricks the youngest elected mayor in the history of Mianxi would have to revitalize Mianxi.
Lu Zhengdong's speech was very short, and it was not written by Guan Shizhang, but he personally wrote it, this is not a stage for his personal improvisation, but an oath commitment as a newly elected mayor, there is no need to talk endlessly.
As the saying goes, if you really want to be recognized by everyone, you still need him to do it in the next work, and being elected mayor is just the first step in the long march......
