Chapter 15 Chapter fifteen

The plenary meeting of the municipal government was held in the multifunctional hall on the second floor of the "Conference Center". Liu Wangming had high requirements for this meeting and personally took care of the preparations for the meeting.Including a lot of details, from meeting materials, agenda arrangement, board and lodging standards of representatives, rostrum seats, and even venue layout are carefully planned.The staff of the municipal government office felt that such a grand and enthusiastic government plenary meeting had never been prepared before, and many new records were set. In addition to the "top leaders" of various departments, the meeting objects also invited the retired mayors and deputy mayors of the previous governments to attend. In addition to the leading cadres of the government departments, it has also been extended to the heads of key municipal enterprises, the factory directors and managers of central enterprises stationed in the city, and the heads of colleges, universities, and units above the garrison.The object of the meeting has expanded to more than one hundred people.Although it took half a day, the meeting notice required all participants to report in the afternoon of the previous day, and the city government hosted a banquet in the evening, and they were not allowed to ask for leave without special difficulties.Members of the party group of the municipal government are all formally dressed and tie.Liu Wangming said that this plenary meeting is the public's review of the work of the municipal government in the first eight months, and we have delivered a very good answer to the people of the city.Members of the government party group must have a good mental state to show in front of the people of the city.Dress neatly and be more energetic, so that the people feel more confident in accomplishing this year's goal. This is also our respect for the delegates.Therefore, last night, the mayor and his party of eight people in suits and leather shoes walked through the banquet hall of Xinyang Hotel with 30 banquet tables and toasted frequently, which really gave people a refreshing feeling.The layout of the venue was designed by Liu Wangming himself. There is an open folding fan on the plane, and the rostrum is set on the "fan handle".The other three sides are the seats for the participants, of course Liu Wangming is in the middle of the rostrum.After Liu Wangming finished drawing the picture, he tapped the fan picture heavily with his index finger, and handed it to Wang Daoguang, "Go and press this, no one can change it." Wang Daoguang blinked, and understood the fan picture, it was a "heart" " shape, Liu Wangming's seat happens to be the central "point" above the "heart".

Liu Wangming carefully planned this plenary meeting of the municipal government, and Wang Daoguang understood it.What Liu Wangming said he wanted to do well, and what he didn't expect he would do even better.He recruited comrades from the secretarial and administrative departments of the municipal government to work overtime.Renovate the venue.Brand-new scarlet carpets, clean white tablecloths, and custom-made high-white glazed thin-bodied porcelain cups with the words "Xinyang City Government Meeting Room" specially ordered from Jingdezhen to replace disposable paper cups.If the hardware of the venue gave the participants a comfortable, modern and solemn atmosphere, then the slogans of the venue made everyone feel excited and excited.On the screen wall behind the rostrum, the words "Plenary Meeting of Xinyang Municipal Government" in Song Dynasty made of foamed plastic on a blue background are particularly eye-catching.Directly opposite the rostrum is the main title of the venue: keep in mind "one important task", adhere to "two musts", practice "three represents", and take the lead in realizing the goal of a well-off society in the province.On both sides of the rostrum are: administration according to law, clean and efficient; governing for the people, hard work.Today's meeting was chaired by a deputy mayor. The executive deputy mayor Wei Daoqing first reported the economic situation in the first eight months of this year, and then several typical units introduced their experience.At the meeting, Wang Dongsheng, secretary of the Lingxi County Party Committee, Xiang Ling, director of the Finance Bureau, and Zhou Chonggui, director of the Public Security Bureau, introduced their experience in economic construction, fiscal revenue increase, and social stability maintenance.Because Zhou Chonggui was studying at the party school, Liu Wangming decided to let Tian Wenge speak on his behalf.

When researching who to speak at the plenary meeting of the municipal government, someone suggested that it was inappropriate for Wang Dongsheng to speak.The plenary meeting of the municipal government should be attended by the county magistrate, and the secretary of the county party committee should attend and introduce his experience, which is somewhat nondescript.A major traffic accident affecting the whole province occurred in Lingxi County not long ago.Liu Wangming tried his best to reject all opinions, emphasizing that the county party committee is at the helm, and the key to a county's work lies in the county party committee.Besides, nondescript is innovation.The opening of this meeting is a reform in itself, and it would be a bad idea to have both the party secretary and the county magistrate of Lingxi County attend.Besides, just because of a traffic accident, we can't completely deny the achievements of Lingxi's economic and social development.In fact, Liu Wangming's inner thought is to push Wang Dongsheng in front of the city's cadres, build a platform for his promotion and reuse, create some public opinion, let the cadres of Xinyang know him, understand him, and fulfill his promise to Wang Dongsheng to enter the standing committee of the municipal party committee promise.

Now came the last item of the meeting, Liu Wangming made a report to the conference.Liu Wangming summed up the huge achievements made by the government in the first eight months of this year. He used several "unprecedented" words: First, the speed of economic development is unprecedented.The GDP increased by 22%, the fiscal revenue increased by 24%, and the investment in fixed assets increased by 34%, which is unprecedented in Xinyang since 1992. Second, the situation of social stability and harmonious government is unprecedented.Since the beginning of this year, an atmosphere of people's thinking and hard work has been formed, and social security is stable. Criminal cases, public security cases, fire cases, and traffic accidents have all dropped by a certain percentage. In particular, some vicious cases that affect social stability have greatly increased decline in magnitude.Judging from the situation reported by the letter and visit department, group incidents, group petitions, and leapfrog petitions have all dropped significantly.The third is that all the units of the municipal government are united, cooperating from top to bottom, and have unprecedented determination and drive to boost Xinyang's economy.The team of our current government works together with one heart and one mind, with strong cohesion and combat effectiveness.Due to the unity of the government team, the atmosphere of unity and cooperation between organizations at all levels and departments at the lower levels is stronger, which is the basis for us to do a good job in various tasks.Fourth, unprecedented achievements have been made in various social undertakings of education and culture and in the construction of spiritual civilization.Xinyang’s application for a state-level sanitation city has passed the inspection and acceptance of relevant provincial departments. The rehearsal of the drama "Tomorrow" organized by the Cultural Bureau won the "Five Ones" Project Award from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and all the nine-year compulsory education in the city has been accepted.Fifth, the appearance of urban construction has changed unprecedentedly. The newly expanded planned area is more than 30 square kilometers. The construction of the municipal square has begun to take shape and has a clear outline.This year, 123 pedestrian paths in the urban area were newly built, and the detailed planning of Xinyang was compiled and revised.The nine major projects that do practical things for the citizens are progressing smoothly, and most of the projects can be completed within this year.The achievement of these achievements has benefited from the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the "Three Represents" thought, the correct and scientific development ideas of the municipal government, the stable and united political situation in the city, and the leadership of all sectors of society. support.On behalf of the municipal government, I would like to express my high respect and heartfelt thanks to the local governments at all levels in the city, the general public, the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force stationed in the city, and the cadres and workers of the central and provincial units stationed in the city.

Regarding the work in the next four months, Liu Wangming pointed out that this year's economic development speed should be ranked first among the cities in the whole province, and the appearance of urban construction should have a visible change before the "Eleventh". Several major key projects must be completed on schedule.The Municipal Plaza will be open on New Year's Day.Starting next year, urban construction will undergo "a small change every year and a big change every three years."Let the common people see the actions of this government to run facts for the people.It is necessary to intensify efforts to attract investment and strive for more domestic and foreign enterprises to settle in Xinyang.Through several years of hard work, Xinyang will become a manufacturing center in the Qianjiang River Basin, and Xinyang's comprehensive economic strength will rank among the top four cities along the Yangtze River.

At this time, there was some whispering in the venue.Liu Wangming guessed that this grand goal resonated with the participants. He put down his speech, became a little emotional, and let it go: I'm not talking nonsense, but it's human-made.I am a person who does things, I want to do things, but I am not humble enough to say that I can really do things.Before coming to Xinyang, although I was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, the work I was in charge of in the municipal party committee was always difficult. There were emergencies, mass incidents, and difficult problems, and the municipal party committee asked me to come forward to solve them.I have been in Xinyang for more than two years, and everyone can see that the appearance of the municipal government, the pace of work, and the way of work have changed incomparably from before.The working departments of the municipal government are also not what they used to be, so when I adjusted the team of some municipal units this time, I tried my best to argue.You see, Comrade Xiang Ling was appointed as the head of the Finance Bureau, which shows that we do not engage in seniority rankings, and whoever is reliable and capable will be selected.Xiang Ling is a lesbian with a strong sense of professionalism and responsibility, and is familiar with her business.The director of the Civil Affairs Bureau appointed Zhu Chunping, the magistrate of Yunfang County. He has worked in the countryside for a long time and has feelings for the common people.The director of the government's legal affairs office became the deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.This is what I strongly recommend, which is called meritocracy, called "emphasis on political achievements, emphasis on recognition", "reliable" and "capable".The leading comrades of the various departments of the municipal government present here today, there are two things you must remember: one is to do things.It is my cadre policy to use cadres who are officers.As long as I, Liu Wangming, are in Xinyang, and you are bold and practical, I will remember you. You have plenty of opportunities to be promoted.Another one is to listen to the government and obey the organization.Why can the army fight?Obey the command of the chief.The government is headed by the chief executive. I am the commander. All the departments of your government belong to the headquarters. If you don’t listen to me, what do I want you to do?When you do work, you come into contact with conflicts. If there are conflicts, you have to solve them, and you will offend others.Don't be afraid of someone making a small report or suing.I was promoted continuously amidst the complaints.To be honest, with the development of society now, there is no such thing as a leader?Which one of you doesn't have an unclear income of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year?Your disciplinary committee, supervisory office, and procuratorate should stop investigating. Haven’t you?A piece of Zhonghua cigarettes is more than 700. Which month do you not smoke three or five.How much do you spend a year?You paid for it yourself?Is your salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month enough to smoke?not enough!I know, you can't hide all this from me, Liu Wangming.But I don't check you, I want you to do something.As long as you work hard, don't be afraid to check, there is me.Some people say that I won more than 10 million yuan from Xinda Company, so I let Xinda Company participate in the reorganization and listing of Sanyo Group.What nonsense!The chairman of Xinda Company is here today, tell me, when did you give me 10 million, why didn't I know?It's clear that someone is looking for faults, I'm not afraid!I am here to say a hard word, I am not afraid of someone suing, the central leadership treats me well and cares about me!Some of you don't waste your time.Comrades from the provincial and municipal news organizations are here today. If the above words are not in the manuscript, you should not report them.Don't convey it to everyone.

If the previous speech was still a bit official, then Liu Wangming's unscripted speech would be difficult for the participants to evaluate. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.No wonder people who knew Liu Wangming commented that if he was asked to speak three sentences, the first sentence might be human, the second sentence would be nonsense, and the third sentence would be nonsense. Before Liu Wangming finished his speech, he assigned a task, requiring every comrade who participated in the meeting to do it himself, to discuss the development strategy of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government on "being a good setter, connecting with Changzhu and Fujian, and integrating into globalization". Write a personal experience and suggestion for the development idea of ​​"taking the city as the carrier, supporting the industry, and expanding the economic aggregate", and submit the manuscript within half a month.How well you know it, it doesn’t matter whether you are right or wrong, but you have to have a good attitude. You can’t hand in blank papers, and you can’t print them. In case someone asks the secretary to do it for you, you must write it yourself.

After the plenary meeting of the municipal government, all the mayors and members of the party group attended the press conference held on the third floor of the conference center.More than 40 men and women attended the meeting from the city's news organizations, large and small newspapers, and city-based reporters from the provincial news organizations, including the reporters specially invited from the provincial news organizations for this meeting.It is also the first time that a press conference of this scale is held in Xinyang.At the beginning of the meeting, Liu Wangming made a simple speech.It means that Xinyang has changed in the past two years. The reason for the change is that the municipal government has found a development path that is in line with Xinyang's reality.At the same time, I also benefited from the strong support of my friends in the news industry.The future development of Xinyang still needs the support of the journalists present here.I hope that after this meeting, everyone will go to various parts of the city to conduct in-depth interviews and write a series of influential and in-depth reports reflecting the new achievements of Xinyang's reform and development.The government office will provide all kinds of services for you to interview in Xinyang, and I also hope to see your masterpieces often in the news media of the whole country and the whole province.

A reporter asked, Mayor Liu proposed in his report in the morning that it would take about five years to make Xinyang a manufacturing center in the Qianjiang River Basin, and rank fourth among cities in the Yangtze River Basin in terms of comprehensive economic strength.According to the geographical relationship, it includes Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing and many other cities in the Yangtze River Basin.The concept of the top four means to squeeze out one of the two municipalities directly under the Central Government, Shanghai and Chongqing, and the two provincial capitals of Nanjing and Wuhan. I wonder what kind of feasibility analysis this is based on?Our Xinhua News Agency is very interested in this.The reporter who asked the question was a reporter from the Xinhua branch invited from the provincial capital for this meeting, a handsome lesbian.There was a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth when he spoke.

It can be seen that the mayors on the stage felt that the questions raised were sharp and weighty.Naturally, such important questions can only be answered by the mayor. Liu Wangming pulled the microphone, thought about his buttocks, and leaned forward with his elbows propped up.Use diplomatic rhetoric to deal with reporters: people need to be a little spiritual.This goal reflects our team's determination to develop Xinyang. At present, we have a big gap in economic strength compared with the Qianjiang River Basin, especially the big cities in the Yangtze River Basin.But the gap is not terrible. I am afraid that I am afraid that I will not dare to make progress in thinking, and I will not make progress.As the saying goes: How broad the thinking is, how fast the development will be.With the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee and the guidance of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xinyang has abundant resources and the joint efforts of the people of the whole city. It can be said that we now have the right time, location, and people. I think this goal can be achieved. .

"Mayor Liu, Xinyang is a big agricultural city. 80% of the population is in the countryside, and the agricultural output value accounts for 35% of the GDP. In order to support, to become the manufacturing center of the Qianjiang River Basin, what are the strong measures, how to overcome the contradiction of insufficient funds?". "We ask Comrade Wei Daoqing, our executive deputy mayor, to answer this question. He is in charge of industry and urban construction." Liu Wangming pushed the microphone to Wei Daoqing. Wei Daoqing first introduced some data on Yitong Xinyang Industry, analyzed the advantages and problems in the industrial structure, and proposed that reform should be used as the driving force to increase the reform and reorganization of state-owned enterprises, adjust the industrial structure, vigorously attract investment, and activate private capital. Develop the manufacturing industry, fully support private enterprises to become bigger and stronger, support private enterprises to participate in state-owned enterprises and so on. "I'm a reporter from the provincial "Economic Evening News". I noticed Mayor Liu's report at the government plenary meeting just now, saying that the economic development speed of Xinyang this year is unprecedented. But I saw some of the information disclosed by Xinyang three years ago The data shows that at that time, Xinyang’s GDP increased by 27%, its fiscal revenue increased by 25%, and its fixed asset investment increased by 51%. Moreover, in the fiscal revenue from January to June this year, the industrial and commercial taxation was basically the same as last year, and it was only organized by the finance itself. The income has increased rapidly, especially the increase in fines and confiscations has reached 70%. Therefore, according to our numerical analysis, Xinyang’s development speed has slowed down. Is this a positive self-adjustment, or a kind of helplessness?” There was some commotion in the venue, and everyone stared in surprise at the reporter who calmly asked questions.There was also a moment of silence and embarrassment on the rostrum.Obviously no deputy mayor can answer this question. "That's a good question." Without waiting for everyone to give in, Liu Wangming took the microphone and smiled reluctantly with a blue face.It can be seen that he said "good", very insincere. "On the surface, the figures from January to September this year are indeed not the fastest speed in recent years, but this is a speed based on facts. There are also problems with different calibers, some of which are policy adjustments. For example, according to the requirements of the State Council, from This year, we stopped collecting fixed asset investment direction adjustment tax, which reduced our tax revenue by more than 70 million yuan compared with the same period last year. Besides, isn’t there another quarter this year?” Liu Wangming played a trick in this answer, and the reporters certainly understood.The so-called "speed of seeking truth from facts" means that the speed of previous years has water.And this moisture is not his responsibility, Liu Wangming.The deputy mayors on the stage suddenly felt relieved, and some of the reporters in the audience kept nodding, as if suddenly enlightened. "Mayor Liu, I am a reporter from the provincial "Urban Monsoon" newspaper. I would like to ask you a very personal question. As far as we know, you used to be a car driver. From the driver to the mayor, you are on the road of growth What is the deepest feeling? It is said that one of your leaders has helped you a lot. Have you considered his factors in your development goals for Xinyang?". To be honest, as a political official, this is a sensitive and unanswerable question.But today Liu Wangming just wanted to use this card.He really thanked the reporter from the bottom of his heart for asking such a question, but this question cannot be answered directly. "The development of Xinyang is inseparable from the care and support of the higher-level organizations. Party and state leaders, ministries and commissions of the State Council, the provincial party committee, and the provincial government will definitely pay attention to the development of Xinyang and will fully support it. As for me personally, it is true , I was born as a driver, with a pair of hands holding the steering wheel, and now I hold the seal of a local government with a population of more than five million, haha! It shows that our party's cadre work has truly implemented the line of combining ability and integrity, and appointing people on their merits. Yes The Party’s cause is very promising, and my experience also shows that no matter who you are, as long as you are loyal to the Party’s cause and try to do more useful work for the people, there will definitely be a stage for you to play a role.” The press conference ended for an hour and a half.Everyone didn't seem to be very interested in the content of the meeting, but the souvenirs prepared for the reporters made them feel a little new. A gift bag with Xinyang scenery and the signature of "Xinyang Municipal People's Government" contained a A golden cow.It is a half-foot-high metal sculpture with a bowed head and a plexiglass cover, which is lifelike and exquisite in craftsmanship.There is also a collection card inside, with a text description: This product is the best collection, jointly manufactured by the Shanghai Mint and the Xinyang Municipal Government, a total of 1,000 pieces, and the version will be destroyed after acceptance.The body of the cow is cast with precious metal, and the surface is plated with 38 grams of 99.9 gold.The collection number is 0001-1000. Liu Wangming left the venue and went straight to Xinyang Hotel. The Qianjiang governance expert delegation organized by the State Council had been in Xinyang for two days and was going back to Beijing in the afternoon. He was going to have dinner with the experts.Xinyang has already submitted a report to the State Council, striving to include the Xinyang section of the Qianjiang River in the entire Yangtze River governance plan, which requires 500 million yuan in funds.The opinions of experts carry considerable weight, and it is necessary to enlist them.He is very satisfied with today's plenary meeting of the government, including the meeting with reporters after the meeting. This plenary meeting of the municipal government brought a lot to Liu Wangming.From a higher level, Liu Wangming shifted the Xinyang people's vision from the municipal party committee to the municipal government, and even focused on him, Liu Wangming.Those who participated in the meeting were the ones who will participate in the democratic evaluation and individual conversations with the provincial party committee inspection and municipal party committee team next time.Especially those old comrades, often fail to succeed and fail.Inviting them here not only restores their sense of "leadership" that has been lost for many years, but also allows them to show the "residual heat" effect in front of young cadres, so as to alleviate the depression accumulated by long-term unemployment, and let them understand their achievements in the past two years. They worked for the government and said good things about themselves in front of the inspection team of the Provincial Party Committee.From Liu Wangming's point of view, some old comrades who have retired are really principled, and many of them are matchmakers who are entrusted to speak for others.In addition to veteran comrades, Liu Wangming also confidently won over a group of serving leading cadres.Anyone who understands will know as soon as they hear it that in the future, Xinyang's cadre promotion will largely be decided by Liu Wangming, and Xiang Ling is the evidence.If you don't cooperate with me, you can weigh it yourself.There are also people from the news unit, who are basically a wedding and funeral band, and whoever gives the money will play the trumpet.Including souvenirs, each reporter spent several thousand yuan.Wang Daoguang must follow up and implement it. "You must see Xinyang's reports every day on the main media in the province, and the central media will have reports on Xinyang for half a month." This is Liu Wangming's death order to Wang Daoguang.Through the overwhelming publicity campaign, the leaders of the provincial party committee can see the achievements of the Xinyang city government, offset the shadow cast by the Lingxi traffic accident on the city government's work, and let the people of the city know that Liu Wangming is a man of career.Thinking of this, Liu Wangming took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Daoguang's number. "Dao Guang, I'm going to have dinner with the experts from the State Council's expert group. This meeting was very successful, and you have worked hard. There are two things you have to do quickly. One is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift I gave to the old comrades. Hurry up Send it out. You explain to them: Originally, I had to come to the door in person, but I really couldn’t spare the time. Please forgive me. Among the old comrades, we must highlight the key points. There is an old cadre named Mu Zili, who retired from the organization when the prefecture-city merger Minister, it is very influential, you represent me to visit him personally. The second is that you hurry up and make a list of the 'top leaders' of the bureaus directly under the city, arrange a time, and I want to talk to all of them." "I understand, mayor, don't worry. I will finish these two things as quickly as possible." Wang Daoguang's loud voice came from Liu Wangming's mobile phone and echoed in the car. The driver, Lao Yu, also heard it. Be clear.
