Chapter Seventy-Four

The material looks thick, but the content is not complicated.

Some textile factory workers reported that in the process of bankruptcy and reorganization of the Xizhou Textile Factory, Li Dong, the director of the textile factory, sold 60 small shops along the street that originally belonged to the old factory to a tertiary production company under the former textile factory before the liquidation team formally took over the enterprise. And these shops were originally worth more than 3 million, but in the end they recovered more than 300,000 yuan, which directly shrank nearly ten times. As we all know, the tertiary production company under the textile factory was actually subcontracted out as early as two years ago, and the contractor happened to be Li Dong's brother-in-law An Hai, and now even the company's legal person has become his brother-in-law.

Of course, these millions of assets are still only a small amount, and what really shocked the Standing Committee members present was that this Li Dong was so bold that he even deceived his superiors and subordinates when the bankruptcy and resettlement team of the city government had already been stationed in the factory, and resold a batch of yarn and cloth worth more than 25 million yuan from the existing inventory in the factory to a private enterprise in Lingnan, and only the book payment recovered was less than 8 million, and only God knows whose pocket the 17 million yuan of money that evaporated out of thin air went into.

Although these are just some speculations of the workers in the factory, and the books of the factory's financial department are very clean, there is no trace at all, in the words of Li Dong of the factory, he still begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to sell these unsalable goods, and according to the current market situation, he can recover the eight million yuan, thank God thank people. But there may not be no reason, whether there is really a problem in the middle, no one dares to pack a ticket when the audit has not been formally involved.

Zhang Gaoming, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, was the first to speak after Han Haitian, and he looked at Han Haitian with a very heavy face, and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Han, if the report of the masses this time is true, the problem will be very strict, and I will immediately let people follow up after the meeting, and all the party cadres involved will be thoroughly investigated to the end, and I will give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Since the Xizhou Textile Factory is a large state-owned factory and mining enterprise, in fact, Li Dong and other factory leaders were appointed by the government, for example, Li Dong was originally a section-level cadre of the Light Textile Bureau. However, with the deepening of reform and opening up, this model has gradually shown its drawbacks, and the possibility of success is very small, but it has bred a lot of problems. Of course, this is off topic.

Therefore, it is only natural for the Commission for Discipline Inspection to intervene in the investigation.

"Very good, Secretary Gao Ming." Han Haitian nodded slightly and said, very satisfied with Zhang Gaoming's statement, and then, his face sank, "My opinion is that if it is really found that there are cadres who have violated discipline during the investigation, if one is found, one will be dealt with immediately, and it will not be tolerated." ”

After a pause, he said, "As for the question of Comrade Wang Anguo, who is specifically responsible for the bankruptcy and resettlement of the textile factory, I would like to hear the opinions of the Standing Committee first, whether to let him take a break for a while, and then make a final decision after all the issues have been investigated clearly." He also said, "I think that no matter whether Comrade Wang Anguo really has a problem of violating discipline or not, in this situation, let him take a rest is also out of protection for him." ”

After speaking, the first one turned his head to look at Chen Yang: "Mayor, what do you think?" ”

Chen Yang nodded, and said succinctly: "I agree." ”

Chen Yang's attitude immediately attracted everyone's speculation, and they all shook their heads in their hearts, this Mayor Chen, originally thought that he was very tough and would hold on, but now it seems that he is not Er'er, and he has no intention of protecting his cadres at all.

However, although the issue of cadres violating discipline is strict, it is not the main content that needs to be discussed by the emergency standing committee, and according to the agenda of the meeting, the main thing to discuss is the incident of the workers of the city's textile factory collectively petitioning the city government.

Yes, that's the priority. In fact, even Chen Yang didn't expect that the day after the occurrence of this group ** incident, that is, this morning, the news appeared in the newspaper, and it was the second page of a heavyweight newspaper like the provincial city daily.

Since Chen Yang took office, the reports of the provincial newspapers at all levels on Xizhou have been relatively positive, but this time it was a solid slap in the face to Xizhou. Although there is discipline and to consider the issue of harmony, the provincial newspaper published the article carefully every word, and did not mention more than half a sentence about the Xizhou textile factory workers to the municipal government to make trouble, but from an economic point of view, with the bankruptcy and reorganization of the Xizhou textile factory as the entry point, the Xizhou municipal government's drastic cut down on the difficult enterprise practice was analyzed, and whether this radical approach is correct, expressed doubts.

It seems that the author of this article takes a very neutral position and discusses some of the new problems that have emerged in the reform process in an impartial manner. But in fact, as long as you pay a little attention, you can guess lightly that there is a deep meaning behind this article, and it is obviously written by a local person, otherwise if you don't know the local situation very well, you can't write such an in-depth article.

Chen Yang was not too surprised after the incident was reported, and he didn't bother to guess who was making small moves behind the scenes to rectify himself.

In fact, although he has not been in office for too long, there are countless cadres in the two buildings of the municipal party committee and government who want to test their ability, not to mention that he has unconsciously and indirectly offended a group of senior cadres who have more or less to do with these enterprises in the process of forcibly promoting the bankruptcy of difficult enterprises.

As for the reason, it's not complicated, an enterprise often involves some unexpected problems when it goes bankrupt and liquidates, except for him Chen Yang himself, who dares to pat his chest on the cadres in the city to guarantee that he will not be implicated.

At this time, after Han Haitian brought the topic of the meeting back to the main topic, the Standing Committee members were obviously much more active than when discussing the issue of cadre discipline violations.

Executive Vice Mayor Liao Guodong, as the leader in charge of the city's industrial enterprises, is responsible for this matter.

At this time, he was also the first to speak.

I saw that his face was gloomy and frowned and said: "Comrades here, as the person in charge of the city's industrial enterprises, I did not do my job well in the municipal government's work of grasping the bankruptcy of difficult enterprises, and such a thing happened, which caused a bad negative impact on Xizhou in society, and I will bear the main responsibility, and I will write a profound inspection and submit it to the municipal party committee." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he verbally took the responsibility, and Han Haitian nodded slightly, agreeing with his attitude.

Subsequently, Wang Junkang, the deputy secretary sitting opposite him, sneered: "Mayor Guodong, now is not just a matter of negative impact, this time these employee representatives are making such a fuss, I heard that Mayor Chen Yang also agreed to the workers' request, the severance pay is raised to the standard of 3,000 yuan per employee, and the extremely poor families also have double subsidies, these are not a lot of expenses, and then our work is very passive, everyone knows very well that the city's finances are already stretched. Now an additional 3 million will be allocated to subsidize the workers in the textile mills, how will the money be raised? And now is just the beginning, according to the government's resolution, in the short term in the future there will be more than 20 enterprises to go through this process, if in the future every difficult enterprise workers make such a fuss, how can the finances be handled? ”

Liao Guodong immediately fell silent, picked up the teacup and drank water, as if he was a little embarrassed and uneasy, and the prepared excuse could no longer be said.

And Wang Junkang then said with a sad face: "Of course, as the secretary of the main economy, I also have to take responsibility, alas, this time I am not effective in supervising the bankrupt enterprise" said and turned his head to look at Han Haitian on the main position, and said: "Secretary Han, I will definitely learn a lesson in the future, and in the next work, strengthen the supervision of the liquidation process of bankrupt enterprises." ”

When Chen Yang saw this funny scene, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, smiled contemptuously, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Since he took office, Wang Junkang, the deputy secretary of the economy, has been gradually marginalized in the economy, and his deputy secretary has almost become an ornament, no wonder he will jump out impatiently at this time, seize the opportunity to make Chen Yang uncomfortable at the meeting, and fight for some rights by the way.

At this time, Chen Yang couldn't hear the meaning of Wang Junkang's words, but if he hadn't been instructed by Han Haitian in private, he could only say that he was stupid. After all, the implementation of this plan was approved by the Municipal Standing Committee, and if something goes wrong, the entire team will be responsible.

Sure enough, Han Haitian frowned and glanced at Wang Junkang, and muttered in his heart, what a rice bucket, can you not say it so obviously?

But he still opened his mouth to support Wang Junkang, took a sip of tea, and said: "Comrade Junkang is right, it's not that the city doesn't take care of the workers of enterprises in difficulty, but this must also be done within our means, we must respect the laws of the market economy, since it has been decided to reduce the financial burden, it is the top priority to help them achieve re-employment, otherwise, similar incidents will happen." I think that this one-time bankruptcy reorganization of so many state-owned enterprises is indeed too big and too fast, although there is a problem now, but fortunately, the problem came out early, and we still have time to make up for it. Of course, I do not doubt the government's work on vigorously promoting the bankruptcy and reorganization of enterprises in difficulty, if Xizhou's economy wants to take off, it is imperative to reduce the financial burden, but it is not necessary to slow down this work first, whether it is necessary to study it again, I think it is still necessary to consider it. ”

After a pause, he turned his head and asked Chen Yang: "Mayor, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Chen Yang would not slap himself in the face, to agree with Han Haitian's plan to "throw the burden" and slow down for a while, and said calmly: "Although the matter has happened, but fortunately, the problem is not big, and it has been controlled, now I think the most important thing for us to do is how to recover the negative impact, as far as I am concerned, I believe that our masses will not petition for no reason." ”

"Of course, the key to the problem now is not whether our steps are too big and too fast, but some of the policies we have formulated have changed a little bit when they are implemented below, and there is a link in the middle that has not been done well to lead to the generation of the problem, if we rashly suspend the bankruptcy reorganization of the textile factory, it is not only not conducive to the next work, but also will give other relevant enterprises a wrong signal, that our municipal party committee and municipal government are not determined enough to abandon the burden, as long as they make a fuss."

As soon as Chen Yang's words were finished, before Han Haitian could express his position, Tian Chunming, the propaganda minister who had been grim since entering the venue, couldn't help but interject: "Mayor Chen, I'm sorry, I don't agree with your point of view, the current situation is that instead of being effectively controlled, the nature of the matter has become very strict. I am afraid that if we do not pause, thoroughly understand the problem, and then straighten out the relationship with all sides, if something happens again in the future, the provincial party committee will blame it, and our entire team will be affected. ”

Chen Yang raised his eyes and glanced at Tian Chunming, he had a good impression of this Chunming minister. In the process of the restructuring and reorganization of the Xizhou Micro Automobile Plant, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee not only did not play a good role in fueling the fire, but instead gave constraints everywhere, grasped the propaganda work of the city newspaper and the city station very loosely, and the control of public opinion was very weak. If he hadn't finally resisted the pressure to go to this project, it is estimated that the saliva of the masses who did not know the truth and was played with by public opinion would have swallowed him up.

He has reason to suspect that it is probably this guy who looks righteous and looks righteous this time who stabbed the matter to the province this time. So far, though, he didn't know where he had offended this small-eyed middle-aged man with thick tortoiseshell glasses.

Sure enough, as soon as Tian Chunming's voice fell, several members of the Standing Committee spoke one after another, and the caliber was the same as Tian Chunming. Some members of the Standing Committee, who may really be related to the list of bankrupt enterprises, are even more vehemently arguing that the government is like this

As for a few of the Neutral Standing Committee members who had a rather ambiguous attitude, although their attitude was not so fierce at this time, it was better for the euphemistic government to hold off for a while, and only after the incident had completely subsided before continuing to push forward with the implementation of the plan.

Although Chen Yang was still able to calmly face these afterthoughts, he still felt in his heart that he was soft-spoken and isolated again in the Standing Committee.

Isn't it? If he hadn't arrived at the scene in time that day to control the situation and pacify the workers and persuade them to leave, I don't know how high this incident would have been raised by these people.

Finally, Han Haitian waited for all the Standing Committee members to finish speaking in turn, and then spoke again: "Comrades, I have already said that the occurrence of this kind of thing is not only a problem of the government, but I, as the leader of the Xizhou team, must bear the main responsibility. First of all, I would like to reiterate once again that I strongly support the government's plan to bankrupt and reorganize the 23 state-owned enterprises that are insolvent and have no prospects for the development of the industry. ”

Chen Yang glanced at Han Haitian, who was sitting and drinking tea and talking, but there was something thoughtful in his mind. Come to think of it, Han Haitian is of course in favor of his own efforts to boost Xizhou's economy and actively cooperates, but this does not mean that the other party will not give himself some eye medicine from time to time, and do his best to weaken his rising influence as the second-in-command of Xizhou. If this kind of wrist that is both striking and cooperating wants to be perfected, it will not happen overnight, and Han Haitian is obviously deep in it.

Sure enough, immediately afterward, Han Haitian changed his words, "However, it is more appropriate to do the specific thing, so as not to intensify the contradictions between the cadres and the masses, our considerations are relatively simple, my personal opinion is that the bankruptcy of the 23 state-owned enterprises initiated by the government this time will be postponed for a while, and then the Standing Committee will be held to discuss and study how to divide the labor and responsibilities after the affairs of the textile mill have completely subsided. ”

Chen Yang's heart sank when he heard this, what did this old puppet want to do when he was firmly in control of the Standing Committee? Make an impact? Or did he naively think that he would be able to intervene in the government as a matter of course when the situation calmed down? Redeploy a few deputy mayors for yourself?

Thinking of this, he seemed to suddenly smell a hint of something unusual, perhaps, this Standing Committee is not just a simple discussion of the aftermath and how to reverse the direction of propaganda.

"I agree with Secretary Han's opinion."

The first person to raise his hand to express his position was unsurprisingly Han Haitian's die-hard supporter Wang Junkang, deputy secretary of the economy, who did not have a word of nonsense this time, and loudly expressed his attitude.

Subsequently, Lai Anjun, deputy secretary of the party and the masses, Lin Chaoyang, secretary general of the municipal party committee, Tian Chunming, director of the propaganda department, and other three members of the Standing Committee also couldn't wait to jump out and vote in favor. When it comes to this need to take a stand, their position is extremely firm.

The above five people belong to the members of Han Haitian's voting party, and they may have different opinions at ordinary times, but they are undoubtedly firm and trustworthy at critical times, and at the same time, they are also the foundation of Han Haitian's Standing Committee of Xizhou, plus Han Haitian's own vote with the heaviest weight, if it can be regarded as two votes, in the Standing Committee composed of twelve people, this is almost half of the majority.

And there is no doubt that the difficulty that Chen Yang wants to win for these people is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, and the only shortcut is to kick them all out of the Standing Committee. However, it is possible to say this, but it is not easy to do it.

The voting continued, and then, after hesitating for a moment, Huang Zhendong, minister of the United Front Work Department, and Feng Guangtian, director of the Organization Department, chose to protect themselves, but the tone of their speech was not as firm as that of the previous ones, and they only agreed with the opinion of the majority of the Standing Committee.

For these two comrades, it seems that it is possible to fight for them.

Chen Yang's gaze swept towards the two of them, and then he made a few strokes in his notebook without rules.

Zhang Gaoming, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, belongs to a typical neutral faction, and he has a neutral attitude towards all issues unrelated to discipline work, and seems to be more maverick, but it is precisely because of this detached attitude that he is not offended on both sides.

Therefore, at this time, he only nodded slightly to Chen Yang, apologized, and then said in a deep voice: "I follow the final voting results of the Standing Committee." ”

Subsequently, Han Haitian's eyes casually looked at Executive Vice Mayor Liao Guodong and listened to his statement.

As a person from the government, generally speaking, he certainly wants to support Chen Yang.

I saw him hesitate slightly, and then glanced at Han Haitian, "I agree with the opinions of Secretary Han and the Standing Committee, and whether it is appropriate for Mayor Chen Yang to vigorously promote this time, whether the twenty-three companies that Mayor Chen Yang personally named and circled are really hopeless, I have reservations, and I have also raised this point at the mayor's office meeting, but unfortunately"

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Chen Yang, only to find that Chen Yang's clear gaze was also looking at him, and as soon as the two eyes touched in the air, he retreated in shame.

Although he thinks that he is doing official business, and raising different opinions at the party discussion meeting is the basic essence of a party member, and he doesn't want to just be an echo worm, but for some reason, Chen Yang's gaze just now made him suddenly shudder, he can go from a technician to the high position of executive deputy mayor, he is not a stunned young man, and naturally knows how bleak the end of standing on the wrong side of officialdom is.

However, he didn't have a choice, Chen Yang was not familiar with the Xizhou officialdom, in fact, for the other members of the Standing Committee of the city, it was normal for him to behave like this, because in the early years, when he was still the head of the business section of the micro steam factory, it was Han Haitian's insight that promoted him.

After hearing that this Mayor Chen had a background in the capital, he actually had the opportunity to completely fall into the new mayor, but unfortunately, he still made the same choice as usual.

Alas, I hope my choice is not wrong.

He sighed, feeling a little sour in his heart.

However, after the defeat, his next words were inconvenient to say.

Fortunately, the meaning and attitude he wanted to show were already in place, Han Haitian took a sip of tea and bowed slightly to him to show encouragement.

As for Liao Guodong's unconditional, even somewhat rampant rebellion, Chen Yang was not surprised, but he was slightly surprised. He had long known that there were people on the government's side, but he didn't expect it to be Liao Guodong, the executive vice mayor.

In fact, Chen Yang has a good impression of his deputy, and Liao Guodong is actually a good comrade, with a high degree of education, experience in front-line work, and a lot of ideas in the work in charge.

It's no wonder that for a deputy mayor who can't keep pace with him, no matter how much he has ideas at work, he can't reuse it, and the ghost knows if this guy will stab himself in the back at a critical moment. Besides, he doesn't have a bad habit of planting a time bomb around him.

At this point, almost all the 11 members of the Standing Committee who attended the meeting have expressed their attitudes one by one, and now Liu Rongshan, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, who is sitting in a corner, has not yet spoken.

But what is surprising is that Liu Rongshan, who had a dirty relationship with Chen Yang some time ago, did not do it as usual at this time, as soon as Secretary Han opened his mouth and said that he wanted to vote or something, he immediately jumped out and raised his hand in agreement as if he had no brains, and remained silent, bowing his head and drinking tea.

Since losing the post of director of the public security bureau last time, Liu Rongshan has completely reduced himself to a voting machine on the Standing Committee, except for attending some inconsequential meetings, and the whole person has become depressed, and the farthest position he is sitting in now must also reflect his current embarrassing situation that his grandmother does not love his uncle and does not love. The gray hair on his head made him look like a man in his seventies.

Of course, it wasn't just others who were surprised, even Chen Yang couldn't figure it out. It is said that now that the power in his hands is lost, Liu Rongshan should work harder to get closer to Han Haitian, right, what is the depth at this time?

Sensing that the voices in the venue suddenly stopped, Liu Rongshan realized that it was his turn to speak. However, he still unhurriedly snuffed out the cheap Hongta Mountain in his hand, then raised his head and said: "Secretary Han, and comrades, I have been engaged in political and legal work for half my life, and I am a pure layman in the economic aspect, I don't understand it at all, as far as I am concerned, the Standing Committee asked me to express my position on an economic issue, I think it is very inappropriate, and I think economic work should still be handled by professionals, such as Mayor Chen Yang, I heard that Mayor Chen Yang had good experience in revitalizing the local economy in other places before, and although there were some group conflicts caused by his package of burden reduction plans, I think the government side"

Han Haitian looked displeased, coughed dryly, and interrupted him coldly: "Secretary Rongshan, now I just want you to make a statement." ”

"I support Mayor Chen Yang." This time, Liu Rongshan did not hesitate at all, and said very neatly.

The venue was in an uproar, Han Haitian's face also became very gloomy, in his ticket warehouse, although Liu Rongshan was not handled well because of some relationships, he was alienated and neglected by himself recently, but he should still be regarded as his person, and this ticket is also stable. Although this is not a critical time, and the issues discussed do not seem to matter, it is definitely the moment to show loyalty to yourself, I didn't expect this guy to sing such a play to himself.

Looks like it's time to kick this waster out.

Isn't it? A comrade who is incompetent even at the polling machine is not a wasted person, what else can he be? You can kick it away as soon as possible, so you don't have to look at yourself and feel disgusted.

Chen Yang was suddenly aware at this time, although he also vaguely knew that Liu Rongshan seemed to have been beaten into the cold palace by Han Haitian, but he also knew that Liu Rongshan's choice to abandon the old master on such an occasion and show loyalty to himself also seemed very unrealistic.

Now it seems that the only explanation is that he probably learned from some channel that he was not small, so he chose to fall to himself at this moment, after all, in Han Haitian's place, he has almost no hope, and standing on his side, if he succeeds, he can obviously fight again, take 10,000 steps back, even if he stands in the wrong line, he will be kicked away by Han Haitian in the future, at most he will be kicked to the National People's Congress or the CPPCC to get an idle post, compared with the current situation, in fact, there is not much difference. This kind of political investment that makes sure you don't lose money is something that everyone knows how to choose.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang had to look at this unattractive little old man again with stunned eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he never thought that this little old man who had a holiday with him would be the first cadre in the Standing Committee to choose to stand in line with his own team, it seems that he will have to find a way to protect him first in the future?

The final result is obvious, counting Chen Yang's own vote, the disparity of 9:2 undoubtedly made Chen Yang lose face, and the Standing Committee unanimously discussed that Chen Yang's plan to "reduce the burden" on Xizhou's finances and strip off the 23 debt-laden packages was temporarily shelved for a period of time, and only after the incident of the textile factory calmed down a little, then reconvened to study and discuss the next more stable plan.

It's just that you must know that for him, who has long been accustomed to saying the same thing at the Standing Committee at all levels, he is really a little unaccustomed to seeing such a drama at first glance.

Of course, he is not surprised by this result, and he can accept it calmly, after all, he has no foundation in Xizhou, but he really doesn't want this "burden reduction" plan to be shelved. It's good if it doesn't continue to deteriorate.

Out of the conference room, Chen Yang's mood was a little heavy, and at this moment, Liu Rongshan, who had just expressed his support for him at the meeting, hurriedly walked over to him and took the initiative to say hello, but there was not much. Chen Yang just turned his head and smiled, waved his hand, and left quickly.

Subsequently, Wang Junkang, Lai Anjun, and others also walked past him one by one. Seeing these hardcore supporters of Han Haitian calmly walking past him, with a businesslike smile on their faces, Chen Yang felt that these people were too hypocritical, and he secretly swore that today's first time was definitely the last time

Since they like to play this kind of voting game, well, it's time for them to kick a few people out.
