Chapter 1 Biased towards Tiger Mountain
Bow and thank you for "following me to go big monthly pass, renewal ticket support!"
――――――――――――――――
Soon after talking with my grandfather, the investigation of the mayoral candidates of Anxin City by the Central * Group * Department was launched, although Lu Zhengdong is not a central management cadre now, but because he is about to become a central management cadre, the inspection is also carried out by the Central * Group * Department.
In addition to inspecting him at the Commission for the Reform of the System and talking to him personally, the inspection team also specially listened to the opinions of the leaders of the Xihe side.
In the end, the central government decided to appoint him as deputy secretary of the Anxin Municipal Party Committee, and the appointment of the deputy mayor and acting mayor needs to be approved by the Standing Committee of the Anxin Municipal People's Congress.
But there is no doubt that from this moment on, he has stepped into the ranks of the central management cadres.
And such a young deputy provincial and central management cadre is undoubtedly the youngest again.
This is a very bold appointment, and the central government was able to approve this appointment, and there is no doubt that his visit to Hong Kong last year was the most important factor.
Although he has made considerable economic achievements in several places in Sai Ho, his impact is naturally not comparable to that of a trip to Hong Kong.
First, he successfully predicted the outbreak of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, second, after the outbreak of the crisis, he took the lead in proposing that international speculators would attack Hong Kong, and third, he accurately judged the time when international speculators were preparing to attack Hong Kong, and assisted Hong Kong in defeating the first round of attacks on Hong Kong by international speculators. Fourth, international speculators have continued to launch several rounds of attacks on Hong Kong this year, especially in early August, when international speculators took advantage of the turmoil in the US stock market and the continuous decline in the yen exchange rate. Launch a new round of attacks on Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government has adopted his advice to restrict speculation in the stock market and the foreign exchange market. The state speculators have been curbed at the source. After nearly a month of hard fighting, international speculators suffered heavy losses and were unable to realize their attempt to use Hong Kong as a "super cash machine" again. The defeat of international speculators in Hong Kong was accompanied by a crushing defeat in Russia. The Central Bank of Russia announced that it would expand the fluctuation range of the ruble against the US dollar within the year, postpone the repayment of foreign debts and suspend the trading of state bonds, leading to a sharp depreciation of the ruble, which caused the Russian stock market and foreign exchange market to fall sharply, triggering a financial crisis and even an economic and political crisis. Abrupt change in Russian policy. As a result, the international speculators who have invested huge sums of money in the Russian stock market have further damaged their morale, and this has led to an all-round and violent fluctuation in the foreign exchange markets of the stock markets of the United States and European countries. If the Asian financial crisis was still regional before this, then the outbreak of the Russian financial crisis shows that the Asian financial crisis has gone beyond the regional scope and has global significance. It also means that the Asian financial crisis is finally coming to an end.
Hong Kong has won a decisive victory, although the Hong Kong stock market has also shrunk greatly under the influence of the global and entire Asian financial crisis, but it is showing a gradual decline rather than a diving method. More importantly, the Hong Kong government did not directly enter the stock market to participate in the bailout. Avoiding the passive situation of becoming a rule-maker and participating in the game has allowed Hong Kong to retain its strength for development.
Under the impact of the financial crisis, Southeast Asia is "full of corpses", miserable, and the other three of the four Asian tigers have also been hit hard, and Hong Kong is the little dragon affected by the financial crisis, which has shattered the prediction of many international public opinion that Hong Kong's economy will inevitably end after the return of Hong Kong, and also smashed the arrogant international speculators who publicly declared that "the Hong Kong government will be defeated". Its political significance is far-reaching.
From an economic point of view, defending the Hong Kong dollar is actually defending the renminbi and ensuring the stability of the renminbi, thus avoiding domestic contagion.
Obviously, the central government also hopes that relying on his economic ability will enable him to successfully drag Anxin out of the quagmire of poor economic development.
"I really don't know what the leaders think in their hearts, why did they promote you again? Isn't it very proud, the spring breeze is proud?"
When Lu Zhengdong returned home, Xue Yu came up and said in a strange tone.
The two have been married for almost a year, and they can be regarded as "old husband and wife", but Xue Yu's penchant of bickering with him has not changed, obviously she is very happy for him, but she said it sourly.
"It's false to say that I'm unhappy, but I feel that the pressure on my shoulders is also very great, this time your husband is going to be a firefighter, and there is also a sense of sincere fear, not to mention that Anxin is now afraid that a good scene is being staged, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are paying attention to me, the new mayor of the upcoming city, and I don't know how many people are jumping up and down, ready to gain new capital in the new political pattern of Anxin City, and some people are probably also thinking about watching the digestion of me, the new mayor, are not fuel-efficient lamps......"
It was rare for Lu Zhengdong not to joke with Xue Yu, this time he went to Anxin, he was pinned on high hopes, and he could only succeed and not fail.
The level is different, and at that level of politics, the contest has gradually tended to be a conspiracy, rather than a simple conspiracy, that is, a competition of "potential". In today's lack of a real political strongman, this trend has become more and more obvious. And Lu Zhengdong's position is in a position that is neither up nor down, and the position of conspiracy and conspiracy coexist and change, which means more wind and rain.
"You're going to do a good job, I don't doubt that. You have to take care of yourself when you arrive in Anxin. ”
Seeing that Lu Zhengdong said it strictly, Xue Yu also put away her jokes, hugged his neck from behind and said.
Xue Yu has a task in the army, and he can't follow him to Anxin City for the time being, and it seems that it is a little difficult to give up, but there is no way.
Yang Lu and the others were also overjoyed when they got the news, of course, they also called Xihe's friends and old subordinates to say that Zhou Tianfang, Xin Wushan and others unanimously mentioned that they wanted to come to the capital to celebrate his ascension, but Lu Zhengdong refused one by one, after all, they were very busy these days, and they came to Anxin after mentioning it, and when they came down, they would gather with everyone.
Before leaving Beijing, in addition to handing over the work with the Physical Reform Commission, Lu Zhengdong also took the initiative to visit his old friends and seniors, and he was very busy.
Cadres at or above the department level in the bureau gathered together to feed him, and the two deputy directors and others invited Lu Zhengdong to dinner separately. and Song Siming, the deputy director of the electricity department who got the house, also wanted to invite him to dinner. Lu Zhengdong smiled and said that he had worked hard and declined.
Lu Zhengdong gave up the public housing of the unit before he got married last year. Song Siming also got a house, although it was not the three-bedroom house he lived in, but he also had a small nest, and finally got married......
An Xin's situation is special, and after the two deputy directors of the bureau, Zhou Shi'an and Wang Zhenhe, as well as the investigators, and the department-level cadres of the investigator practiced it for him, Lu Zhengdong also embarked on a new journey......
――――――――――――――
Just after the National Day holiday, Lu Zhengdong went to Beihu Province accompanied by officials from the Central Group Department, but he did not go directly to Anxin. Instead, they went to Hanzhou, the provincial capital of Beihu, and two officials from the Central Organization Department accompanied Lu Zhengdong to the Organization Department of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee to make a handover, and then returned to the capital.
Leaders of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government all had talks with him.
The current identity of Lu Zhengdong is no longer the same, for Beihu Province, his arrival will not be like a pebble going down, and he can't splash the slightest splash. All the princes and people from all walks of life were silently watching him and observing him. And he. He was also staring silently......
On October 7, 98, at the city's cadre meeting presided over by Zhang Zegao, secretary of the Anxin Municipal Party Committee. Liu Mingliang, director of the organization department of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee, announced the personnel appointment decision of the central and provincial party committees, appointing Lu Zhengdong as a member, standing committee member, and deputy secretary of the Anxin City Party Committee.
In the afternoon, the Standing Committee of the Anxin Municipal People's Congress passed a resolution to appoint Lu Zhengdong as the deputy mayor and acting mayor of the Anxin Municipal People's Government.
In the evening, in the welcome pavilion of Anxin Hotel, Zhang Zegao led all the members of the Standing Committee of the Anxin Municipal Party Committee to wash the dust for Lu Zhengdong.
There are 13 members of the Standing Committee of the Anxin Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Zegao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Wang Hongwei, Director of the Municipal People's Congress, Zhong Baifa, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Yang Tiejun, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Jiang Fengjuan, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Lin Hanbin, Commander of the Anxin Municipal Garrison District, Yan Desi, Secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Zhenyu, Director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Guan Mingdong, the new Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Liwei, Executive Vice Mayor, Zhang Keqin, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, Yang Bing, Director of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee, plus him as the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, acting mayor, a total of thirteen members of the Standing Committee.
At the reception banquet, they were naturally polite, and what they said was polite, but in fact, they were all testing each other and examining each other.
Before Lu Zhengdong arrived in Anxin, Uncle Tong Guò and Liu Zhenqiang got some materials from the main leaders of Anxin City, and they also did a lot of homework, and they didn't think much about the people and things in Anxin, and Lu Zhengdong paid the most attention to Zhong Baifa, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhong Baifa was less than 50 years old, and he had worked in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee for many years.
And the new organization minister Guan Mingdong is also in the same vein as Zhong Baifa, in the case of Zhang Zegao turning a blind eye, it is equivalent to the personnel power in the hands of Zhong Baifa, which is almost the same shape as when the original deputy secretary of the party and the masses was there, but the deputy secretary of the party and the masses has changed people.
Zhong Baifa said little with a stern face, his expression even looked a little dull, he couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow, he had the demeanor of the fourth elder brother, and in terms of personal ability alone, I am afraid that he would not be under the deputy secretary of the party and the masses who was transferred.
And Zhang Zegao looks light-hearted, seems to have no desires and no desires, but his true thoughts are unknown.
There is also Su Zhigao, director of the National People's Congress, with a chubby face, a smiling look, and a kind speech, as if he is waiting to retire and enjoy his old age.
Are these two really as desireless as they seem?
The answer may be just the idea, accustomed to the feeling of enjoying power, no one can let it go so lightly, the more the two of them are like this, the more Lu Zhengdong knows that it is unfathomable.
And the Standing Committee members are also looking like old gods, obviously they still can't figure out the details of his arrival, and they don't dare to make any moves lightly, they are all waiting and watching, these three big foxes, and this group of little foxes, Lu Zhengdong is really a little skeptical about whether it is a wise decision for him to come to Anxin.
But if you want to achieve more in less time than others, you must pay more. There is a saying that I will not come to peace. I'm not at peace. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains! He doesn't believe in fighting these big and small foxes! ……
On such an occasion, everyone is familiar with each other's process, and the wine naturally stops after drinking, and when the meaning comes, everyone will go home......
The next day, Lu Zhengdong went to the municipal government accompanied by Zhou Liwei, executive vice mayor, and An Junyi, secretary general of the municipal government.
The Anxin Municipal Government Office Building is a nine-story building overlooking the river in front and the mountains in the back. The architectural style is solemn and solemn.
Lu Zhengdong's first day at work was mainly to familiarize himself with the environment and settle down.
In the morning, the municipal government held a government office meeting and had a preliminary understanding and contact with the cadres of the organs directly under the municipal government and the cabinet department, and in the afternoon, accompanied by executive vice mayor Zhou Liwei, government secretary general An Junyi and other cadres, they walked around the offices in the government building and met with the personnel of the main departments of the municipal government.
Lu Zhengdong finally came to his office on the ninth floor, with a large desk and mahogany furniture, which looked very simple and atmospheric, and unassuming, which was in line with his aesthetic taste.
After An Junyi reported some general information about the city government to Lu Zhengdong, he presented several personnel lists to Lu Zhengdong and said, "Mayor." These comrades are all good cadres in the Secretariat of the General Office, can you take a look? ”
Lu Zhengdong is now new to Anxin. There will be no action, any kind of secretary is the same, it is better to sell An Junyi a favor, so he smiled and waved his hand, and said:
"It's hard secretary general for this matter, you can help me choose, your vision can't be wrong."
An Junyi nodded and said:
"Then I'll go back and think about it."
The first of the four major teams of the sub-provincial city is the deputy department, and the deputy position is the main hall. Downward and so on, ministries, commissions and bureaus are deputy department-level institutions, and some institutions are different from prefectures and cities, such as the office of the municipal party committee and municipal government of the prefecture, which does not exist zài, but the general office.
Moreover, the treatment of cadres in Anxin City is the same as that of other sub-provincial cities, and they are often on par with the province, such as ministries, commissions and bureaus, even if they are not equipped with the main department, they often enjoy the treatment of cadres at the department level, of course, such treatment is limited to sub-provincial cities like Anxin, if they are transferred to other places, such treatment does not count.
As a matter of fact, more than 10 years after entering the new century, due to factors such as institutional reform and the increase in the authority of the municipal government, the level of the secretary general of the government at all levels has gradually become on par with the secretary general of the party committee at the same level; for example, the secretary general of the prefectural and municipal party committee is a member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee, and the deputy department level will also strive for the deputy department level, but it is not a member of the standing committee, and the gold content of this deputy department level is not high.
Lu Zhengdong had studied the information of the chief housekeeper of the city government for a long time. An Junyi is the secretary general promoted by Li Mengtu after taking office, which is what Li Mengtu values very much.
Lu Zhengdong has just come to Anxin, naturally there is no idea of changing the secretary general, there is no idea of adjusting the division of labor of the municipal government, and even the idea of moving any department for the time being, the operation of the municipal government is still stable as well, observe, understand, understand and observe, and find out the general situation of the municipal government, this is the short-term goal that Lu Zhengdong set for himself.
After An Junyi finished talking about the secretary, he was about to talk about the main work arrangements of the municipal government in the next period of time, when Hu Xinmin, director of the logistics department of the organ, knocked on the door and walked in.
Since the housing was vacant in the Standing Committee, Lu Zhengdong didn't want to live in a hotel, so he decided on it.
Hu Xinmin didn't expect Mayor Lu to be so easy to talk to, and he didn't even have any special requirements for decoration and furnishings, but the mayor was very young and didn't pay attention to housing, so he was estimated to be a little particular about using a car.
"Mayor Lu, there is also your car, when Mayor Li is here, because of the heavy reception task, under normal circumstances, the reception car is used, our government reception car has a Mercedes-Benz, two BMWs, you are the same, often have to meet important guests, I think, it is better to dial a reception car to you......"
Lu Zhengdong waved his hand and said:
"No, just follow the regulations on official vehicles."
The central government is very strict with the control of cadres in allocating vehicles, and the current management system of official vehicles has always followed the mode of establishment and management, standard control, on-demand rationing, and unit ownership in the era of planned economy.
In ninety-four years, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China promulgated the "Regulations on the Management of the Allocation and Use of Cars in Party and Government Organs", and then issued a document with repeated orders, according to the regulations, the deputy ministerial-level cadres are equipped with cars such as Audi 200, but there are also countermeasures locally, even in many underdeveloped cities in the interior, the county party secretary's car is the desert prince with the same price as Audi, and above the county level, it is basically Audi, so there is a smooth saying "The size is an official, all sit in four circles", Many places still have scruples in this regard, but the reception car is undoubtedly a good disguise. Due to the special circumstances, the procurement standards are not limited by the national official car allocation standards, and Anxin as a sub-provincial city, there are several high-end reception cars, but many times, such cars have become the main leaders' cars.
Anxin City is already in a lot of difficulties, and it has suffered another flood, and then sitting in such a luxury car to swagger through the city, the perception up and down will definitely not be good.
So although it was Hu Xinmin's duty to build yì like this, Lu Zhengdong resolutely refused. As for the driver's problem, in fact, it is the same as the secretary, and Lu Zhengdong did not make other requests...... (To be continued.) )
