Chapter 20 Asking for Doors
Bow and thank "God's Fart" for your big reward and support!
――――――――――――――
After returning from Hong Kong, Lu Zhengdong obviously felt that the attitude of the people in the bureau towards him had undergone a subtle change, and this change was not because of the trip to Hong Kong, which was only known to Director Lin, but because of the power reform plan.
The power reform plan of the Commission has not yet been officially stated, but the leadership of the Ministry of Electric Power has fine-tuned it at this time, which is of great significance.
A deputy minister who has been insisting on the reform led by the power system said that Guodian is the lifeblood of the country's economy, and he should be cautious, and he should be cautious, and he will be chaotic when the government is out of many doors, so that the leaders in charge of the above have to sacrifice the spirit of the important speech of the top leader on May 29 on "both to guard against the right, mainly to prevent the left" to beat, but this guy has no fear to go up and down during this time, and was transferred out of the power system, which is a signal, which means that the above basically negates the reform plan of the power system. Further, it shows that the top level has basically reached a preliminary compromise and general principles on the matter of power reform, which is to reduce resistance, but more importantly, to straighten out the relationship, knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and establish the prestige of the incoming new government.
This is for the people of the system reform committee who have been suppressed by the power system in the power reform. It is good news, and such news will also stir the sensitive nerves within the power system, because if it is according to the thinking of the Reform Commission, it means that there will be nearly ten vice-ministerial-level enterprise groups in the power system.
As the head of an enterprise, he has relative independence and autonomy, and he would rather be the head of a chicken than a phoenix, and such an enterprise group has much more resources and power than an ordinary deputy minister, and this cannot but give hope to many people who hope to compete for these positions.
Therefore, during this period of time, there are not a few people who come to Lu Zhengdong, some of them are to find out the situation for the leaders, and some are to take precautions and make good relations first, after all, it is necessary to reform and reorganize. The Commission still has a great say in the organizational form, organizational structure, and institutional setup of the enterprise. So not only the power system, but also the oil system has a lot of people coming to the door during this time.
Lu Zhengdong is not exclusive to the arrival of these people or the invitation to dinner, on the contrary, he is also willing to get closer to these people, as long as it is in line with the principles, can answer and answer, can solve the problem, and does not set up a card. Some of these people may become useful relationships in the future, the so-called network resources, and friends are always available.
Lu Zhengdong had a busy day, and when he got off work, he still thought that there would finally be no dinner tonight. It's rare to let the stomach breathe, and the internal phone rang:
"Director, your call. The other party said that it was your old colleague when you worked in Xihe, and you should see if you should transfer in. ”
Recently, there have been a lot of calls to him, and Lu Zhengdong had to tell the office to filter him first.
However, Lu Zhengdong was a little surprised, under normal circumstances, people who knew Xihe well would call him on his mobile phone. Unable to call the office, Lu Zhengdong groaned. Let's take the phone in.
"Hello old secretary, I'm Shen Guozhong."
Shen Guozhong?
Lu Zhengdong was really surprised. The two of them worked in Yilan County, and he presided over the work as deputy secretary and served as the secretary of the county party committee. Shen Guozhong was the county magistrate, and later Shen Guozhong followed his old leader to Miao'an, and the two basically rarely contacted each other.
The two chatted for a few words, and Shen Guozhong said with a smile:
"Old secretary, I'll still call you Director Lu."
Lu Zhengdong smiled:
"We're in an old relationship, don't come to that, just call whatever you want."
Shen Guozhong sighed, seemed to hesitate for a moment and said:
"I'm in the capital, I don't know if the old secretary is convenient, I want to invite the old secretary to have a light meal."
Shen Guozhong hesitated for a moment, but still hardened his head and sent out an invitation.
Lu Zhengdong estimated that Shen Guozhong also came to run (the ministry) before (money) in, it is estimated that things are not going well, it is estimated that he also wants to ask him for help with something, otherwise he will not call him, and an old secretary, obviously playing the emotional card, although the two do not have much contact, but they get along well in Yilan, at least they did not stumble on him, it is far better to stretch out the handle in difficult times than icing on the cake, and if you can help, you will help, Lu Zhengdong then replied:
"Well, okay, we may not have seen each other for a long time, and I want to talk to you too."
Shen Guozhong said busily:
"Tonight, then? Cheung Chau Hotel I don't know if it's okay? ”
Lu Zhengdong smiled:
"It doesn't matter what people eat, okay, we'll see you at the Cheung Chau Hotel in an hour."
On the other side of the microphone, Shen Guozhong hung up the phone and let out a long breath.
Shen Guozhong does have something to ask for, and he is not having a good time in Miao'an now.
He followed the old leader to Miao'an, and at first it was quite smooth from the secretary of the county party committee to the deputy mayor, but the good times did not last long, the old leader was transferred away, and everything changed, the current secretary of the municipal party committee, Zhang Heji, was the original mayor, and the old leader had a deep contradiction, and his lineage as the old leader naturally belonged to the object of polishing, and his deputy mayor basically became the deputy mayor, not as good as his original secretary of the county party committee, or even as good as a county magistrate.
However, with the adjustment of the city's leadership team, a new mayor has arrived, and the change of personnel has also rekindled his hope.
And the new mayor is most concerned and headache is the matter of Miao'an natural gas field.
Xihe has more gas and less oil, but the distribution is extremely uneven, mainly concentrated in the east of Xihe, very little in the north, so far it has been found that Miao'an such a large-scale gas field, if it can be developed, can not only change the history of the north of the West River can not use natural gas as fuel, but also can vigorously develop natural gas chemical industry and improve the investment environment, so Miao'an is extremely concerned about this, in order to show the determination of the local party committee and government in this regard, after the initialing agreement with the oil system, the early relocation work has been carried out. These funds are paid in advance by the city and county levels, and the construction of the road leading to the gas field site has also begun.
Originally, I thought that this would fully show that the local party committee and government attached great importance to this project, so as to increase and accelerate the investment of the oil system in this project, but I never thought that the oil system would be separated at a critical time, and the whereabouts of the Miao'an gas field were unknown, but this matter was dragged down.
The oil system can be delayed, but the city and county can't afford it, so the secretary of the municipal party committee and the newly appointed mayor sent the executive vice mayor in charge of Lian Gongcheng to the capital to tackle key problems, and he, the deputy mayor who was idle and had nothing to do, was also assigned to assist in the work.
When he first arrived in the capital, he was still quite confident. The various approval procedures for this project have been completed. Even the project department is ready to set up a shelf, indicating that the general direction is set, as long as the spirit of Qingshan is not relaxed, there is nothing that cannot be done, but the reality is very ruthless, and you can find two acquaintances in the province to operate it and get to Beijing. What is that? There are many halls like dogs, and the deputy department walks all over the ground, and when you walk in front of any high gate compound, a gatehouse can look at you with a condescending eye, and if it is not pleasing to the eye, you have to toss you enough to let you in.
In Kyori. If you can't find a way, then if you want to do something, it's hard to do anything. Shen Guozhong now has a deep understanding.
He and Lian Gongcheng finally contacted a director of the Planning and Planning Department of the National Petroleum Corporation after several twists and turns, but after contacting the director Liang several times, Shen Guozhong felt that it was very difficult, but Director Liang did not block the words. It shows that there is hope, and what Lian Cheng has racked his brains these days is to figure out how to get through the relationship with Director Liang.
Shen Guozhong felt that there was little hope for this kind of survival. If Lian Chengcheng feels hopeless, he will definitely find an appropriate excuse to slip away first. And the black cauldron that failed to tackle the problem must be carried by him, so it really hasn't been sent. So he had to hurry up and think of another way.
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Guozhong thought of Lu Zhengdong, he knew that Lu Zhengdong's rapid rise in just a few years was by no means explained by luck and ability, and the only reasonable explanation was that there must be someone behind Lu Zhengdong.
It is not difficult to find the phone number of Lu Zhengdong's office, but he has no idea whether Lu Zhengdong is still selling a little bit of incense in Yilan, after all, Lu Zhengdong is no longer what it used to be, and although Lu Zhengdong has a little bit to do with the oil system, after all, he is in the System Reform Commission, not the oil system, and he has just been transferred to the ministry for a few months, so it is difficult to say whether Lu Zhengdong can help......
After several hesitations, he finally dialed Lu Zhengdong's phone, and he was also mentally prepared to be rejected lightly, but fortunately, Lu Zhengdong still remembered the old feelings, was easy to speak, and went to the appointment without putting on a show or shirking at all, which made Shen Guo Center very happy, thinking in his heart, even if things really can't be done, he can contact Lu Zhengdong and re-establish a relationship, it will not be this trip to the capital, and Shen Guozhong also comforted himself like this......
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room, and Shen Guozhong went over to open the door, and it was Zhou Shengsi, the county magistrate of Baiyang County under Miao'an, who came in.
"Mayor Shen, just now I overheard someone from the Beijing Office saying that there are important things in the city in a few days, and even the mayor is afraid that he will have to go back, and then I am afraid that the rest of us will have to run away."
Shen Guozhong had already guessed such a result, so he was not surprised at all, but nodded slightly.
Zhou Shengsi's expression was a little gloomy, the mining area of the gas field is in Baiyang County, and the original secretary of the county, Zhong Heming, is about to be transferred to the secretary of Miaozhong District, and he, the county magistrate, is the first responsible person in the county, and according to common sense, he should take over as the secretary of the county party committee, so he can't lose it.
For this project, the city and county levels have been fully mobilized, and it can be said that from top to bottom, they are in command, and a whole set of teams have been set up, and the city and county levels can be said to have done their best from immigration, relocation to infrastructure construction investment.
The two levels of government have invested considerable funds and manpower and material resources in advance, and a lot of meetings have been held, and the momentum has also been created, and it is also publicized that the people in the urban area and Baiyang County will use natural gas before the Spring Festival next year, and bid farewell to the era of honeycomb coal and gas tanks.
"Mayor Shen, what should we do next?"
Zhou Shengsi asked with some uneasiness.
Zhou Shengsi felt a little bitter in his heart, the secretary of the county party committee had already decided to leave, and he was supposed to take over the post of secretary, and he had done all the work he should have done in this regard, it should not be a big problem, but on the shelf, this has all changed, Secretary Zhang is a strong master, he has always said that he is the same, this is a big project that he mainly does, if he does not fight for it, don't say that the secretary, it is not good that the position of the director of the city's local history office and civil air defense office has been prepared for him.
"What can I do? Then we can only stay up in the capital, keep an eye on it, Shengsi, it's useless to be anxious, and we can only slowly find a way. I've figured out a way here. There's a way over there. ”
Shen Guozhong knew Zhou Shengsi's thoughts, so he didn't say much, and thought for a while:
"Oh, by the way, I have some things, you can help me take a leave of absence for the president, I can't help much anyway. I won't go to Director Liang for dinner in the evening......"
Shen Guozhong naturally didn't talk about eating with Lu Zhengdong.
Zhou Shengsi glanced at Mayor Shen strangely, even the mayor was in charge of leaving, that is, the one who carried the black pot, and speculated in his heart that Mayor Shen was afraid that he would not feel better than him when he heard the news. And I won't say anything more......
――――――――――――――――
Shen Guozhong thought about it, and decided to go to the elevator to greet Lu Zhengdong.
Friendship has to climb. But the number of courtesies should not be less, and he was not the only one waiting at the elevator entrance, only to see two cadres from other places calling a certain director, and the attitude was so respectful that people only raised their eyelids slightly. The two waiting cadres on the side also muttered softly:
"Mulberry Bureau. It seems that the leaders of these ministries are different, and the director is bigger than our secretary and mayor. Bullish. ”
"Hehe, County Magistrate Zhou. It's not surprising, you think. How much does the ministry do? How many ministerial-level units are there? Where doesn't want more projects and funding? That's thousands of people begging, thousands of people chasing, being able to appreciate your face and have a meal, it's already enough to give face, this is still people look at the face of your fellow villagers......"
Shen Guozhong listened to the whispers of the two on the side, and also sighed a little, that county magistrate Zhou is estimated to be the first time to run a project in the capital, a raw melon, the ignorant are fearless, and when he understands the power, he will know what it means to be a Beijing official.
"Land Bureau, please come here!"
There are outsiders, and Shen Guozhong is not easy to call the old secretary......
"Why are you still here? Go, go! ”
Lu Zhengdong was neither arrogant nor too humble, he took Shen Guozhong's hand with a smile, and the two walked to the private room while greeting each other.
Entering the private room, Shen Guozhong said with some emotion:
"Time is like flowing water, I haven't seen you for many years!"
Lu Zhengdong smiled:
"Yes, our time doesn't seem to belong to us, busy, to the capital to sit in the office, but a little uncomfortable, still very nostalgic for the days in Yilan, miss Yilan's old friends, we are really working together, although hard but fulfilling......"
Lu Zhengdong was inspired by it, Yi Lan was the starting point for him to really start the political side, strictly speaking, that was the beginning of his real entry into the political world, and he really started to be an official, and he was just an official before.
Shen Guozhong nodded lightly, Lu Zhengdong's words were like a spring breeze, and it seemed that the two of them had been strangers for many years, but he was also keenly aware that Lu Zhengdong seemed to look relaxed and freehand, but in fact, his bearing was more dignified and calm, in front of him. I actually have the kind of oppression that I can only feel in front of the provincial leaders.
And Lu Zhengdong seemed to be a little unhappy about going to the capital in his tone, so he couldn't help laughing:
"Old leader, don't bury a grassroots person like me, I think it's better to work in ministries and commissions, with a high starting point and a broad vision......"
Lu Zhengdong smiled and said:
"This is actually difficult to compare, more pragmatic at the grassroots level, more retreat in the ministries and commissions, at the grassroots level is the focus on implementation, in the ministries and commissions is focused on planning, it depends on what style the individual belongs to, but in the ministries and commissions can indeed broaden their horizons, can stand at a higher level to think about problems, whether at the grassroots level or in the ministries and commissions have their own merits."
As he spoke, the waiter served a plate of exquisite dishes, Lu Zhengdong took the wine bottle and wanted to pour wine for Shen Guozhong, Shen Guozhong hurriedly grabbed the wine bottle and said with a smile:
"I know that the old secretary is massive, so I have to do this wine commander, I don't want the old secretary to carry it back for me."
Lu Zhengdong smiled:
"I'm almost soaked in wine these days, don't drink, people say you look down on people, drink, your body is uncomfortable, we are not outsiders, drink well and don't get drunk as the principle, do you think it's okay?"
Shen Guozhong also laughed when he heard it, and said with a smile that he was lucky today, and he picked up a leak, and if it was changed to another time, I am afraid that he would not be able to drink this glass of wine for a while.
Drinking wine and chatting about the sky, chatting about the years in Yilan, talking about Yilan's mess, and now it has become one of the top economically strong counties in Long Beach, talking about Yilan's people and things, they are all a little emotional, and they are somewhat proud, and their feelings are gradually chatting out, Shen Guozhong wanted to mention the matter of mentioning the gas field several times, but he was afraid that as soon as he said it, such a good atmosphere would be destroyed.
Lu Zhengdong had long known that there was something going on in Shen Guo, and seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, he knew that it was a little difficult to speak, so he touched his cup and said:
"Lao Shen, what kind of project are you running in the capital, right? The media are talking about the need to expand domestic demand, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of projects to be launched next year. ”
Shen Guozhong smiled bitterly, and then told Lu Zhengdong about the gas field.
Lu Zhengdong frowned slightly and said:
"Don't say anything about natural gas chemical industry, is to liberate the people from the smoke of burning coal, so that the sky of the city is bluer and cleaner, this is a meaningful thing, with the development of the economy, the pressure of environmental pollution will be more and more great, the country has determined the development and utilization of natural gas as an important measure to improve the atmospheric environment, which is a good thing."
Shen Guozhong sighed and said:
"In the local view, it is a big deal, a good thing, but in the eyes of the National Oil and Gas Corporation, it is not a big deal, the old secretary, you came from the grassroots, you know that the grassroots finance is an illustration, they are okay for as long as they delay, we can't afford to delay, but it's really difficult, I came with our executive director, he wants to go back, this matter has to be on top of me, especially me, the deputy mayor who was originally on the side, if I ...... this time"
Shen Guozhong shook his head, sighed, drank too much wine, and unconsciously felt a little sad in front of a person like Lu Zhengdong who had no conflict of interest, and couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of his situation...... (To be continued.) )
