Chapter 9 Chapter nine

Zhou Jianming, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization, came to the office in a hurry, followed by the secretary and section chief. "Minister Zhou, the ministerial meeting has been notified. It will be arranged in the small conference room on the fourth floor at three o'clock in the afternoon. Deputy Minister Peng called and said that the meeting of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee will end this morning. He will rush back after the meeting. Maybe It will be a little later." "No, today's arrangement needs to be changed. There was a traffic accident in Lingxi County last night. The secretary and the mayor went to Lingxi. You should inform the deputy ministers that the ministry will be rescheduled. You will be notified when it will open. "

"Okay, I'll notify right away." The secretary and section chief turned to leave. "Wait, there are a few things you need to arrange. The report meeting on the work inspection of veteran cadres that was originally scheduled to be held in the afternoon will be rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Mayor Liu will be scheduled to speak on the meeting agenda. In addition, you should notify the chief prosecutor and the city government immediately. Vice Mayor Wei and Director of the Economic and Trade Commission come to me for a while. You arrange the time and finish the talk before ten o'clock. Then go to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to visit Secretary Wang. Before eleven o'clock, go to the city hospital to see an old comrade. He is my The last old Red Army soldier in the city has been hospitalized for a week, so I told the director of the Veteran Bureau to prepare some condolences and go to visit with him.”

Just as the secretary and section chief was about to leave, the cadre section chief and organization section chief filed in.Zhou Jianming suggested that the head of the organization section should speak first, because the cadres and section chiefs of the organization work can know, but when it comes to cadre work, it is inconvenient for the organization section chief to be present. The head of the organization section reported that the Provincial Party Committee will hold a symposium on the construction of the provincial leadership team in October, and Xinyang is required to recommend a model of a well-united team to speak at the meeting.According to the knowledge of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, they believe that the Yunfang County Party Committee team is united better, and the county's economy is also developing rapidly. They suggest summarizing their experience.The organization department sent people to the county to do some research, wrote a material, and asked the minister to review it.

This is really a big deal. Zhou Jianming himself is not good at making decisions, so he told him to put down the materials. He wanted to ask Liu Maosheng, the deputy secretary in charge of the party and the masses, for instructions. Think about it, the municipal party committee is about to be re-elected. It is too sensitive to commend a county party committee team at this time, and it involves the main leaders of the county party committee, and it is too sensitive to speak at a provincial meeting.Can these leaders of the municipal party committee unify their views?Especially Li Yide, who is a sensitive nerve between Li Shusheng and Liu Wangming, can he touch it casually?Besides, what will public opinion think?Zhou Jianming has worked in leading organs for more than 20 years, and has served as the leader of the county party committee and the head of the organization of the municipal party committee for more than ten years.Originally, Liu Wangming had opinions on himself, and there have been a lot of rumors recently that Liu Wangming will be the secretary of the municipal party committee in the next term, which is not necessarily groundless.He can't trouble himself with these sensitive issues.It is better to ask more.Of course, from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Jianming looked down on Liu Wangming. In terms of political morality, work ability, cultural background, and ability to solve problems, Liu Wangming was not at the same level as Zhou Jianming, but is there such a thing these days?

The head of the organization section went out, and the head of the cadre section took out a pile of materials from the large envelope bag he was holding and put them on Zhou Jianming's desk. "Minister, you want the investigation materials of the leading groups of several units here, the inspection materials of the city's procuratorate and the municipal discipline inspection commission's deputy team and the democratic evaluation situation. The economic and trade committee has an opinion on the candidate for the chairman of Sanyo Group, and they have formed a written report The recommendation from the Bureau of Finance and the Bureau of Civil Affairs is not centralized, especially the Bureau of Finance, where 56 people participated in the recommendation, and Xiang Ling only got 9 votes."

"Oh. Where's Tang Zhanhai, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau?" "Tang Zhanhai got 21 votes, just over half of the votes. But in individual conversations, he responded very well. He was a transferred cadre in the army, familiar with civil affairs work, honest and fair, and criticized many people. Some comrades could not accept it. He More than 10,000 yuan was sent to a village in Lingxi County to subsidize a dozen school dropouts from the resettlement fee. No one in the bureau knew about it. The bureau was listed as a contact point in Lingxi County. In November, he had a heated fight with the farmers and helped the village solve many problems. The villagers jointly wrote a report to the Municipal Party Committee’s Village Construction Office, asking him to stay there this year.”

"Oh? This is far from the situation we have grasped! You put the materials here, I want to look again." Before Li Shusheng attended the plenary session of the Provincial Party Committee, he told Zhou Jianming to analyze the leading groups of the county, district and municipal units in the city to make organizational preparations for the change of the Municipal Party Committee.Some cadres who are about to reach the age should be dismissed. The "top leaders" of the party and government of the county and district committees should not be too old. In principle, they should not exceed 50 years old.All teams with vacancies should come up with opinions on candidates as soon as possible, especially for units that need to be appointed as members of the new municipal party committee, they should be considered as soon as possible.Therefore, Zhou Jianming was busy for a few days, did some peripheral work, sorted out several leadership teams that urgently needed to be adjusted and enriched, listened to opinions from all sides, and checked the inspection situation.At the same time, it is considered to come up with principled opinions on the adjustment of the leadership team, and to organize several investigation groups, and ask the deputy prefecture-level cadres who have retreated to the second line to lead the inspection team. These must be submitted to the secretary meeting and the Standing Committee for study.

Zhou Jianming closed the door, brewed a cup of strong tea, and before the invited leaders arrived, he quietly thought about the candidates for the leadership of several municipal units.He picked up the phone on the table, dialed the secretarial department, and told them that, except for a few leaders who had made an appointment, other comrades should not arrange to meet, and had to find another time.Ask the Secretary Section to help "block the drive". The Minister of Organization, speaking of it, is a very popular figure, with the power of life and death of officials at all levels in his hands.In fact, he was an angry job. Zhou Jianming took this job and summed it up in a sentence, "Personnel and personnel are not things that people do." The current cadres, old and young, big and small, have been promoted, and those who are waiting to be promoted , everyone has emotions, has full-bodied complaints.Let’s talk about veteran cadres, who have worked at the fifty-eighth level at the department level, and they have opinions on changing to investigators.Why not let them work until sixty?The national retirement policy has not changed, why can you retire at the deputy department level until you are sixty-two?Sixty-five or seventy provincial cadres?Why?Young people also have opinions, so older people still occupy a seat, thinking old concepts, working old methods, and not knowing what the virtual economy is, and they still sit on the rostrum every day to give reports and talk about participating in international competition.In a meeting of 300 people, more than 100 people sat on the rostrum in darkness, with white hair fluttering and reading glasses flickering.Let the young people climb up one step at a time, graduate from university in their twenties, and then the deputy department, the main department, the deputy department, the principal department, the deputy department, and the main department—all of them are like this, not to mention the prime minister, but the provincial and ministers may It is also imported from abroad.The promoted cadre has objections. He should have been promoted a long time ago, but he has been suppressed for so many years. Now the promotion is just a "belated love".Those who have not been promoted are more dissatisfied, angrily, and thumping.Blame the unfairness of the organization, resent the leader for being too dark, and blame the colleagues for being too tricky, but unfortunately the background is not strong.In short, Xinyang's cadres all think they are prime minister materials, but the unfair organization has buried talents.Who is the organization?organization department.Who is to blame in the organization department, of course the head of the organization.The current leadership team holds meetings without any secrecy. As soon as the appointment and dismissal of cadres goes to the Standing Committee, "wind" leaks "gas" during the brewing process.Everyone can be a good person, but the head of the organization can't make a wish.Therefore, the organization department and the head of the organization naturally become the punching bag of the cadres.Aren't you a "cadre's family"?If you don't look for you, who will you look for?If you don't scold you, who will you scold?

In fact, Zhou Jianming was really taken for a ride. He had the final say on how many of the city's more than a thousand county-level cadres were involved.There are eleven members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and five secretaries and deputy secretaries. The secretary is in charge of the general manager and presides over the work of a locality.The mayor focuses on the economy, economic development is the center, and those in charge must manage people, especially Liu Wangming, who has never been a fuel-efficient lamp when it comes to people.He has the final say on the comprehensive departments of the government, some important bureaus, and county and district chiefs.A little unsatisfactory, he threw out a sentence: "The work in this area can't be done, don't blame the government in the future." This made Li Shusheng dumbfounded.It is often Li Shusheng who compromises.Zhou Jianming complained endlessly in his heart. He felt that Li Shusheng was a bit soft on the issue of cadres, and he was too accommodating to Liu Wangming.There are also three deputy secretaries in charge of the party and the masses, in charge of politics and law, and in charge of agriculture and ideology. They all require the right to speak in charge of frontline cadres. In Zhou Jianming's hand, it was just a little bit that leaked through the cracks of the big fingers above.There are also six members of the Standing Committee, all of which are in charge of one aspect. They must be allowed to play a role in the use of individual people, otherwise this Standing Committee will have no prestige in people's minds.The Organization Department, Wow, the Organization Department seems to be a "strength" department, but Zhou Jianming knows how much it can actually play in the use of cadres.Through the work of the Organization Department, he discovered an interesting phenomenon: the more powerful the department looks, the more people's attention is attracted, and the more people are staring at the place, the more people intervene, the more people want a share of power from there.Therefore, the department that seems to have the most power will end up with the least power.Those who seem to have power but do not have power are the most offensive.Because people think you can do things that you can't do, it's strange if they don't scold you!Either you say that you don't help, or you say that you are too dark, and you can't open your eyes because "the investment is not in place".

The head of the organization met the secretary of the party committee with a decent ideology, and life was easy.When you meet dishonest people, you will be "mouse drilling into the bellows" to get angry at both ends.Zhou Jianming really felt a little annoyed, not to mention tired, but offending others.If you offend someone, no one will understand.The secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection often complained about offending people. Zhou Jianming made an analysis and comparison with him, and concluded that the organization minister was more likely to offend people.Zhou Jianming said that the number of cadres who make mistakes is after all a minority. It is the requirement of all cadres to hope to be promoted and reused. Moreover, the composition of the leadership can only be pagoda-shaped, which determines that most cadres cannot do what they want.The Commission for Discipline Inspection is facing the minority, and the organization minister is facing the majority. This is one.Second, cadres who make mistakes are at fault after all, and they will be dealt with according to disciplinary provisions, without much flexibility. The facts are clear and the evidence is solid, so you have nothing to say.The promotion of cadres lacks such hard standards. For the same position, Zhang San and Li Si can be promoted, but there is only one.Jobs are limited, and there are more wolves than meat.The third is that the cadres offended by the Commission for Discipline Inspection are in the clear. I know who I have investigated and who I have punished.The organization department is different. The cadres have opinions in their stomachs, and they are still smiling when facing you, but they want to stab you behind the scenes.The candidates for several units in front of Zhou Jianming are a sad hurdle.The Chief Prosecutor of the Municipal Procuratorate has reached his age, and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee called twice, asking for opinions from the city. Positive.

It has long been rumored in the society that Liu Wangming has a comrade-in-arms who wants to change jobs and come to Xinyang to become the chief prosecutor.But Li Shusheng insisted on promoting one of the four deputies in the Municipal Procuratorate.There is only one deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. According to the requirements of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, two more people will be added when the Municipal Commission changes.The former director of the Finance Bureau entered the classroom, and he never announced who would be in charge of the work. Among the three deputy directors, the one in front was already fifty-five years old, so it was not easy to ask him to take charge of the work.It is said that Liu Wangming has promised Xiang Ling, the female deputy director who will be the last. Liu Wangming has already given many hints that Xiang Ling must be the director of the finance bureau.Since the beginning of this year, the government has held executive meetings, and Liu Wangming has asked Xiang Ling to participate in all matters related to finance. In several municipal government plenary meetings, he has praised the financial budget.Xiang Ling was originally the chief of the budget section. The year before last, the city government was attracting investment in Hong Kong. Xiang Ling joined the group and met Liu Wangming.She has a cousin who is a minister of the Bank of China in Hong Kong. Through her cousin, she hosted a banquet for Liu Wangming and the main entourage at the Bank of China Tower, and accompanied Liu Wangming to visit Ocean Park for a day alone.It is said that Xiang Ling said at the dinner party held by his cousin, "Mayor, this visit to Hong Kong to attract investment has been a complete success. You can rest and relax tomorrow and leave it to me." "Okay, Xiao Xiang, I will listen to your arrangements tomorrow." Liu Wangming happily accepted the invitation.Unfortunately, when Shuangshuang was on a lunch break at Zhongjing Hotel, she was bumped into by two Macau businessmen investing in Xinyang.The merchants in Macau didn't care about such activities, and when they saw the comrades in Xinyang, they said it casually.Therefore, before Xiang Ling got home, the scandalous news about her in Hong Kong and Liu Wangming spread "underground" in the Finance Bureau.Not long after he came back, Liu Wangming strongly recommended Xiang Ling as the deputy director. Those who were interested in this matter also proved the authenticity of the sex news.This time the Municipal Party Committee was considering the candidate for the Director of the Finance Bureau, and the other deputy directors were also aware of it, and they dared not make mistakes, so they could only hope that "Xiang" would sigh.He was unconvinced from the bottom of his heart, so it was impossible for Xiang Ling to get a high vote in surveys and opinion polls.Before being promoted to deputy director, Zhou Jianming inspected it.In all fairness, Xiang Ling is a thirty-eight-year-old graduate of the Northwest Institute of Finance and Economics. He has been the deputy director of the bureau for two years. No.But from the perspective of protecting Liu Wangming, it's not appropriate. Besides, Liu Wangming is too risky, so why the rush?Perhaps this is Liu Wangming's uniqueness: no scruples. Sanyo Group is a pilot unit for the municipal government to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises and establish a modern enterprise system.Bind the municipal company, water supply company, building materials company, and real estate company together, absorb two private real estate companies to participate in the shares, and form a group company with diversified equity.State-owned shares account for 51%, private capital accounts for 35%, and group managers and employees hold 14%.By stripping off non-performing assets, integrating resources, and striving for listing financing.Now that the company needs to be registered, the municipal party committee must quickly determine the candidate for the chairman so that it can be recommended to the shareholders' meeting. From Zhou Jianming's point of view, these candidates are difficult to "shave".Adjusting the leadership of some important departments on the eve of the new term is undoubtedly the prelude to a new round of political reshuffle in Xinyang. If it is not handled properly, it will undoubtedly break the balance of the current political structure.Of course, this depends on Li Shusheng's political art. Zhou Jianming looked at the materials, absent-mindedly, rubbing his cheeks with his hands, rubbing his tired eyes, stood up from the swivel chair, and walked back and forth in the office preoccupied.Zhou Jianming is forty-five years old this year. He is 1.7 meters tall and only weighs 58 kilograms.Seen from the back, the crocodile short-sleeved shirt on his body looks empty and empty, as if hanging on a bamboo pole.His back was slightly hunched, but the only thing that could tell Zhou Jianming's spirit and personality was his sharp-edged face and a pair of dark eyes.At this moment, he crossed his arms and walked back and forth in the office, thinking about how the cadres' work should be done before the municipal party committee changes.He believes that it should be done in two steps. One is to try to match the lack of top leaders in the main departments directly under the municipal government, but the municipal party committee must first adopt principles, such as how to control age, qualifications, and appropriate communication.It is difficult to come up with specific candidates from the very beginning.Second, the county and district teams should consider how to make adjustments on the basis of inspections.The municipal party committee must first discuss the inspection plan.He wanted to report this idea to Li Shusheng in advance and seek his approval. "Boom-boom-boom" knocked on the door softly, Zhou Jianming opened the door, and the chief secretary came in and told him that the leaders of several units were already waiting in the secretarial department.Zhou Jianming asked him to invite the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate to talk first.
