Chapter 29 Accompanying the Investigation (2)
Anxin City, a sub-provincial city in Beihu Province, was the hardest hit area by this flood, and several dangerous embankment failures occurred in this city, especially the dry embankment once burst, so that the entire Anxin City was in danger, and Premier Rong once personally commanded to block the breach.
Premier Rong's eyes can't tolerate a little sand, and when such a situation occurs in Anxin City, he naturally can't escape criticism, and Anxin has also dealt with a group of corrupt officials.
And this time Premier Rong arrived in Anxin City, and the post-disaster reconstruction funds supporting Anxin City were delayed, which made him even more unbearable and became angry in Anxin.
As a sub-provincial city, Anxin has experienced glory, but in recent years, there have been more and more difficult state-owned enterprises, the number of laid-off unemployed has increased sharply, and the economy has not improved at all......
This criticism not only made the leaders of Anxin City feel like a man, but even the leaders of Beihu Province frowned.
In the streets and alleys of Anxin, it is common to see groups of two-wheeled motorcycles and three-wheeled motorcycles carrying passengers waiting on the side of the road to solicit customers or fleeing in a hurry under the stern gaze of the police and urban management, like frightened birds.
Lu Zhengdong has always paid special attention to sub-provincial cities, and Anxin is naturally among them.
Of course, Prime Minister Rong can't see such a scene, because the prime minister's motorcade has been cleared everywhere it passes, but even so, when the prime minister's motorcade passes, these passenger-carrying motorcycles will spring up from above.
As a metropolis, the police chengguan is their natural enemy. From the perspective of a city manager, it is definitely urban transportation and city appearance
A major public nuisance. They are like a plague of locusts. Embarrass the metropolis.
But Anxin City couldn't make up its mind to block it. Perhaps people in ministries and commissions who have been working all year round do not understand the reason, but Lu Zhengdong, who has come up step by step from the grassroots level, knows the reason for this, because for many families who are living in difficulty, this is an important source for them to maintain their weak family livelihood, and if such a source is cut off, the problem will be even greater.
as a specific group. Such a passenger motorcycle is destined to bear the difficult survival of its specific period, so you can also get a glimpse of the leopard and see the current predicament of Anxin City.
Lu Zhengdong has always paid special attention to sub-provincial cities, and Anxin is naturally among them.
Originally, Anxin City is a transportation hub connecting the east and west, the geographical location is extremely superior, and it is an important fulcrum city in the central part of the country.
There is great resistance to economic development, economic growth is slow, and fiscal revenue is weak. Then came the shadow of unemployment looming over the city, and in recent years, the number of laid-off workers and the unemployed in urban areas has been increasing year by year. Increasing pressure on employment and re-employment.
In particular, the large state-owned enterprises on which Anxin City relies as its pillar have fallen into a serious predicament, and not only have they failed to play the role of pillars, but have also become a very heavy burden.
In order to maintain the reluctant operation, the enterprises that are difficult to support have to reduce a large number of employees, which means that layoffs are inevitable, and for many families who "take factories as their homes" and almost all their families are in these enterprises, the heavy setback of laid-off unemployment is almost catastrophic. The panic of losing one's job and the cruel reality of reemployment have made people who have been in the system for a long time lose their sense of security and find it difficult to adapt to market-oriented labor competition.
The economic efficiency of collective enterprises in Anxin City has been declining year after year, far exceeding that of state-owned enterprises. The total value of industrial output has fallen sharply, and the proportion of laid-off and unemployed workers in collective enterprises is much stricter than that in state-owned enterprises.
The large-scale bankruptcy, bankruptcy, and semi-bankruptcy of collective enterprises, combined with local financial difficulties, have made it possible for the management of collective enterprises to run the industry and the collective enterprises to set up their foundations
Ben was paralyzed.
The basic living expenses and unemployment relief policies for laid-off workers of collective enterprises are mainly tilted towards laid-off workers of state-owned enterprises, and it is very difficult for the families of workers of collective enterprises to be included in the scope of subsistence allowances, and they have become a group forgotten by the policy, and can only struggle to survive in the cracks of survival.
Since the implementation of the minimum subsistence security system in '96, the aim is to establish a system that wants to include the whole people, but when calculating the per capita income of the applicant's family, all the family members who can be linked to the minimum wage standard for employees, the minimum subsistence allowance standard for laid-off workers and other social security policies are calculated according to the minimum standard, such as the minimum wage standard line for in-service workers, which is 300 yuan; Laid-off workers shall be given a minimum subsistence allowance of 100 yuan and so on, and the difference will be made up if there is a shortfall. According to this policy design, as a result, a considerable number of aid recipients have been pushed out, and in fact, there are very few urban residents who enjoy the minimum subsistence guarantee, and the amount of such subsidies is very limited, and the coverage is extremely narrow, and the fundamental problem cannot be solved.
This is a common characteristic of the development of almost every city today, but it is just a matter of Cheng DΓΉ's strictness or not, in a community populated by laid-off unemployed and idle people who are struggling to make a living, life maintains a low level of order, but under this fragile order lurks the destructive factor of instability.
Everyone knows that the squeezed and withered state-owned economy and a large number of laid-off and unemployed people walking on the edge of poverty have extremely terrible lethal and destructive power for the sustainable development of a city, but it is not so easy to find a good solution.
And now the flood has caused a certain amount of damage to Anxin, which is to make matters worse, although the central government of the province is to give Anxin support, but to get through the difficulties, mainly rely on their own ......
And now Anxin is not very peaceful, the situation is complicated, Lu Zhengdong looked at Zhang Zegao, secretary of the Anxin Municipal Party Committee, and Li Mengtu, the mayor of Anxin, who had a bitter face,
Zhang Zegao is a member of the Standing Committee of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee, and he is about to arrive at the station, and he will definitely retire in the next term. But because of this flood, Li Mengtu's life is quite sad, not only because Anxin City was criticized in the flood fight, but more importantly, some people took the opportunity to make a big fuss.
Deputy Department of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee or Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Its gold content is naturally not the same as that of ordinary vice-ministers. And forced Li Mengtu away. If he can take over as mayor, he will be very sure to become the secretary of the municipal party committee and a member of the standing committee of the provincial party committee after the change of office in two years, which is undoubtedly a very fast channel.
Lu Zhengdong can see this, and others can also see this, Li Mengtu has made no achievements in Anxin's economy, plus Anxin broke the embankment. So some people wanted to use this opportunity to force Li Mengtu away, but it seems that the senior management still hasn't made up their minds......
After the completion of Anxin's inspection, the group took a boat up the river, and on the boat, Premier Rong also stood on the deck while observing the scenery of the river and listening to the introduction.
"You also know more about Anxin's situation, Anxin's economy can't go up, what good prescription can you come up with?"
Obviously, An Xin's matter is a piece of his heart, even if he leaves An Xin, he is still worried about An Xin's affairs in his heart.
The leaders of the Economic Commission and the National Development and Reform Commission, who accompanied him, also put forward some views and opinions on Anxin's economic development. Prime Minister Rong was noncommittal. After pondering for a moment, looking at him, he said:
"Xiao Lu. Tell me about ...... too."
Lu Zhengdong was stunned for a moment, he accompanied the inspection along the way, that is, to do some basic work, most of the people who accompanied the inspection were ministerial-level cadres, and he was a department-level cadre far away, and he didn't even have the opportunity to talk to Premier Rong, but Premier Rong suddenly asked him.
"I only know a little about Anxin's situation, and since the prime minister has named him, then I can only dare to talk about it......"
Although he asked suddenly, Lu Zhengdong has always paid attention to these sub-provincial cities, and he still has some experience:
"Anxin has been brilliant, but now it does lag behind other similar cities, especially Anxin's two pillar industries of light industry and machinery manufacturing, has been in a backward position in the competition, Anxin has been hoping to revitalize these two pillar industries, but in fact there is little hope, first of all, from the light industry, Anxin's textile, tanning, etc. due to the shackles of the system and people's ideological differences, in the development of enterprise ideas, business philosophy and other aspects can not be compared with its eastern neighbors; In the machinery manufacturing industry, the overall lack of sufficient innovation spirit also limits the overall growth.
These two pillar industries can not play the role of pillars, which leads to the difficult situation of Anxin today, and now Anxin still hopes to revive its former advantages of light industry, and has invested a lot in this, but it is not able to receive results, which is difficult to say. β
Lu Zhengdong pondered for a moment before continuing:
"The development of Anxin has to be based on the objective reality, on the basis of the objective reality to re-position its overall development, objective and accurate positioning, but also to find the direction of the encirclement, the difficulty of the state-owned enterprise system is also the real industry to change the priorities, from the current situation of Anxin, the machinery manufacturing industry is more developed, which can be used as a direction, increase its investment in innovation, and strive to gather a number of enterprises and industrial clusters to participate in national and global competition, and build Anxin into an innovative machinery manufacturing center, Build basic economic strength with industry and strengthen economic strength; Second, Anxin has a superior geographical location, which can vigorously develop commerce and trade, build a national trade and logistics center, and develop some new labor-intensive enterprises. Third, there are many universities and scientific research institutions in Anxin, which can be used as a basis to vigorously develop new high-tech industrial clusters based on bioengineering and new materials......
Taking into account the difficulties of solving the existing difficulties of the new reality, we must also base ourselves on long-term development, dare to be the first, dare to touch some new things and new industries, cultivate innovative talents, innovative capital, and innovative enterprises, drive new industries with old industries, and promote old industries with new industries, so as to overcome the current difficulties, and then accumulate and develop ......"
Lu Zhengdong's meaning is very clear. If Anxin wants to change the current difficult situation, it must give up, give up some industries that have no advantages at all, break down and then stand up, develop some new industries, and concentrate limited manpower, material and financial resources in a few major development directions......
Lu Zhengdong's words were very plain, and he did not talk much about the hottest issue of enterprise restructuring at the moment, because the enterprise restructuring has been made clear from the national level, and the important thing is to implement it, and the key to implementation is how to create enough employment opportunities to absorb these laid-off people for reemployment and new employment, and ensure the basic stability of society while maintaining economic development, which is fundamental......
