Chapter 24 The way of employing people

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Zhu Yan unexpectedly lost in the competition, which made many people in the Yiyang County Party Committee and the county government mixed with joy and sorrow. Ma Youcai, the county magistrate, was the most disappointed person.Some time ago, after he got the information from the new mayor Liu Bing, he began to move around. He only waited for Zhu Yan to transfer away, and he took up the post of secretary of the county party committee. At this time, Zhu Yan failed to be promoted, and his dream of being a secretary was naturally postponed. "After passing this village, there will be no such shop", this saying is most effective in official circles, not to mention the curse of "rejuvenating cadres". Thinking that he is over 40 years old, Ma Youcai is quite anxious .

Officials close to Ma Youcai were equally disappointed.Over the years, Zhu Yan was like the big hand of the Tathagata Buddha, holding them firmly in the palm of his hand, unable to jump or turn over. Only when Ma Youcai became the secretary could they have the possibility of turning over.Therefore, they were quite disappointed to hear that the province had parachuted a deputy mayor. In Yiyang County, Hou Weidong is the person closest to the truth.He knew that Zhu Yan would soon study at the Provincial Party School. In order to gain this precious time, he successively held meetings of members of the new management committee and meetings of middle-level cadres and above, focusing on discussions on "the positioning and development of the new management committee, the formation of industrial the opinion of the development zone and the construction of roads connected with the development zone” and other issues.Finally, under the leadership of Hou Weidong, the new management committee formed a solid report - "Report on Further Promoting the Development of the New Management Committee", which was submitted to the county party committee and county government.

This document is the crystallization of the new management committee, written by Yi Zhongcheng.Looking at the dozen or so pages of beautiful documents exuding the fragrance of ink, Yi Zhongcheng felt a sense of accomplishment. After this document is sent to the county party committee and the county government, whether it will be taken seriously, the new management committee, except for Hou Weidong, Zhang Jin, Zhang Xiangyu, Yi Zhongcheng and others have no confidence.After all, the document surpasses the power of the new management committee and the development zone. In other words, if the county party committee and the county government agree to this document, there will be some changes in the construction field of Yiyang County, especially in terms of urban planning. adjustment.

What surprised Yi Zhongcheng and others happened. After the document was sent out, the results were soon available. The secretary of the county party committee, Zhu Yan, commented with a thick pen: "This article is very good. Send it to the offices of various ministries and committees in various towns and villages in Yiyang. , I hope to earnestly study the spirit of daring to think and dare to enter the new management committee, combined with the actual situation of the local unit, boldly develop, seek truth and be pragmatic. The matters mentioned in the document will be studied at the Standing Committee.”

Seeing Zhu Yan's instructions, Yi Zhongcheng was in a daze for half an hour. On the one hand, he lamented Zhu Yan's great love for Hou Weidong, and on the other hand, there was a surge of entrepreneurial passion in his blood.When he drank tea with his cousin, there was passion in his blood. "Zhongcheng, Hou Weidong is an upstart in Yiyang's officialdom, what do you think of others?" Yi Zhongling is a key figure in the Yi family. He was the first to debut, and after taking charge of the Yiyang Native Products Company, he continued to support the Yi family's children.Several of his cousins ​​have all gone to college, and now they are gradually becoming famous. Apart from Yi Zhongda, a cousin from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, the one he looks up to the most is Yi Zhongcheng, who has excellent grades since childhood.He first transferred Yi Zhongcheng from the school to the county office through Ma Youcai's relationship. Later, seeing Ma Youcai's defeat in the battle between Zhu and Ma, he transferred Yi Zhongcheng to the New Management Committee as the office. director.

Yi Zhongcheng was full of gratitude and respect for this big cousin who had turned into a private entrepreneur, filled Yi Zhongling with wine, and said: "Hou Weidong is very energetic and capable, and he has won Zhu Yan's trust. In our hands, the new management committee will definitely achieve great development.” Yi Zhongling and Hou Weidong fought indirectly. In the case of Yiyang Native Products Company, Hou Weidong was the imperial envoy sent by Zhu Yan to the political and legal system, and he was also one of the behind-the-scenes commanders.Although the political and legal system has been mobilized, he managed to escape the shell beautifully and successfully transformed from a state-owned enterprise factory director into a private entrepreneur. This is one of his proudest cases.

"Zhongcheng, take it easy and don't get too close to Hou Weidong. According to my observation, Zhu Yan will leave sooner or later. As long as Ma Youcai is on stage, all Zhu Yan's confidantes will definitely leave get out of class, including Hou Weidong." Yi Zhongcheng thought about the blueprint of the new management committee in his heart, and said a little angrily: "People survive and government survives, and people die and government dies. This is the poison of feudal society to the real society. Hou Weidong is Zhu Yan's person, which is good, but he planned But the blueprint is scientific and in line with the development of the New Management Committee. It would be too sad if this blueprint is destroyed because of power struggle.”

Yi Zhongling looked at Yi Zhongcheng with great interest, and after a long time, he said, "I didn't expect that brother Zhongcheng is still as angry as he was back then." He pointed to his head and said, "After entering the officialdom, thinking about problems The way has to change, don’t think about the truth, don’t think about justice. You only need to stand in Hou Weidong’s position and think about the problem, and you can deduce what Hou Weidong wants to do next. This is a tried and tested experience. "If I were Hou Weidong, I would find a way to squeeze you out and never let you stay in the office. There are many ways."

Yi Zhongcheng didn't believe it, and said: "I wrote the report of the new management committee, and it was fully affirmed by the county party committee. From this point of view, I have credit. I don't think Hou Weidong is the kind of old official. He has the capacity to tolerate people." He was born as a literati, and he was also engaged in writing work in the government office, so he regarded himself very high in writing, not to mention that the original writing skills of the new management committee were not very good. Yi Zhongling sneered twice: "What I said was realized in reality. Hou Weidong can become the head of the new management committee at a young age. He is definitely not a simple person. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. A strong person Everyone likes this set."

Yi Zhongcheng shook his head: "Not necessarily." The dispute between the two brothers of the Yi family soon came to an end. On April 12, after the County Personnel Bureau issued a letter, it was agreed that the new management committee would add a research office with three staff members, whose responsibilities were basically the same as those of the county party committee and the county government research office. After the publication of this document, Yi Zhongcheng sensitively remembered the prophecy of his eldest brother Yi Zhongling. Even though he hadn't talked to him yet, the surging passion in his heart had already fallen from a high altitude to the cold concrete floor, and his mood changed. Hou Weidong felt an indescribable awkwardness.

On the morning of the 13th, Hou Weidong took out the documents of the Personnel Bureau and the "Report on Further Promoting the Development of the New Management Committee", lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly, halfway through, when Yi Zhongcheng walked in. "Director Yi, this report has been highly valued by the county party committee and the county government. You have contributed a lot." Sitting opposite Hou Weidong, Yi Zhongcheng cursed in his heart: "Raise first and then lower, it's the same old way, just let go if you have any farts." Just as Yi Zhongcheng thought, Hou Weidong quickly expressed his true intentions, saying: "For the Yiyang County Party Committee, the county government, and us, how to develop the new management committee is a new topic, and comrades with a theoretical level need to study it carefully. This is the purpose of the Personnel Bureau's establishment of this establishment for the new management committee. In the new management committee, Director Yi's theoretical level is obvious to all. Without you, this report would not exist. Take you out of the chores in the office and concentrate on research The general direction of the development of the new management committee is a major issue that concerns the overall situation, and I hope you can shoulder this burden." Yi Zhongcheng had already scolded Hou Weidong in his stomach: "I didn't realize that Hou Weidong was young, and like those old bureaucrats, he was an expert in fighting internally, but an outsider in fighting externally." Without bowing his head, Yi Zhongcheng has been working in the county office for several years, and he didn't explode on the spot. He said with a cold expression: "Director Hou, thank you for your trust in me. I'm not talented enough to take on important responsibilities." Hou Weidong said: "In terms of theoretical level, Director Yi is second to none in the new management committee. Don't be modest, you will definitely be able to do a good job in the laboratory." When Yi Zhongcheng went out, he couldn't help but think of a couplet: "If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can do it; if you say you can't do it, you can do it, and you can do it." When he walked to the corner, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes. Looking at Yi Zhongcheng's lonely back, Hou Weidong was a little soft-hearted, but immediately became tough again. The insider incident in Yiyang's Procuratorate gave him too much stimulation, and he really couldn't trust Yi Zhongling's cousin.Although this sentence has become a derogatory term because of the Anti-Japanese War, it is reasonable to look at the problem from the perspective that fortresses are always breached from the inside, but the degree needs to be accurately grasped. Otherwise, it becomes an infighting. The conversation with Yang Liu is much simpler. Hou Weidong and Yang Liu are both the first batch of public recruits in Yiyang, and they have similar work experience and can understand each other. Yang Liudao: "Director Yi is very good, I'm worried that I won't be able to do the office work well." Hou Weidong interrupted her unceremoniously, saying: "Everyone will turn the same if the earth leaves, you have to believe in yourself." Seeing that Hou Weidong trusted him so much, Yang Liu said, "Director Hou, I will do my best to live up to your expectations." Hou Weidong and Yang Liu were originally on the same starting line. After Hou Weidong became a superior leader, within a short period of time, Yang Liu unconsciously corrected his attitude and appeared in front of Hou Weidong purely as a subordinate. , She was also secretly surprised by the rapidity and thoroughness of the transformation. Outside the compound, Yi Zhongcheng quietly called his cousin Yi Zhongling. Yi Zhongling made a haha ​​on the phone, and said: "Hou Weidong is young, but he is really a powerful character. You have to learn more. Zhongcheng, let me warn you, it is best not to deal with such a young and vigorous leader. Flip the sign, or you will die ugly." "I won't serve this master anymore." Yi Zhongcheng was still very emotional. "You haven't suffered many setbacks. It's good for you to experience such a thing. Besides, the director of the research department is also a good position. Hou Weidong still gave you a chance. It depends on whether you can grasp it." After hanging up the phone, Yi Zhongcheng looked up at the sky, the clouds scattered and gathered in the sky, it was very impermanent. In the meeting room of the Standing Committee of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, Organization Minister Zhang Jiarui has reported on a series of personnel changes: "The reserve class for department-level cadres at the Provincial Party School will start on April 15th. After Yan left, I suggested that Ma Youcai temporarily preside over the work of the Yiyang County Party Committee." Zhou Changquan took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and saw that Huang Zidi, who was sitting across from him, was still full of energy after staying up all night. He thought, "Fame and wealth are like floating clouds. When you get old, only your body is yours." Put it on again Putting on his glasses, he said: "Although Zhu Yan is going to study at the Provincial Party School for a year, he is still the secretary of the county party committee, so there is no need for Ma Youcai to preside over the work of the county party committee. Ma Youcai has a way of grasping the economy, so he should concentrate on doing economic work well." Comrade Yang Senlin from the Municipal Party Committee Office is of good quality. He has worked in the Municipal Party Committee Office for seven or eight years, so he was transferred to Yiyang to serve as the deputy secretary of the Yiyang County Party Committee. Zhou Changquan has always been tough on personnel issues, and what he decides is the final conclusion.Zhu Yan soon learned of the Standing Committee's research decision. This ending will have a profound impact on the political structure of Yiyang County. Yang Senlin was sent to Yiyang County to preside over the work of the county committee, and the successor's attitude was obvious. In the past few days, Hou Weidong stayed away from the political vortex for the time being. Every day, he and Jiang Dali accompanied Gao Wang, the boss of Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory, to visit the mountains and rivers of Yiyang. Gao Wang was able to come to Yiyang because of his own needs. Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory is a traditional Chinese medicine factory. Last year, it successfully developed a new drug that can effectively treat diabetes. Four hours, otherwise the efficacy will be greatly reduced.Mimosa is suitable for growing in the mountains with subtropical humid climate, and its main production area is Lingxi. Because of this, Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory is considering building a branch factory in Lingxi. For this reason, Gao Wang sent people to Lingxi many times to investigate secretly, and concluded that the Shazhou area is the best and largest raw material production area.During the Spring Festival this year, Jiang Dali happened to come from Lingxi to treat guests for dinner, so there was an inspection activity in Yiyang Development Zone.Gao Wang has been in the rivers and lakes for many years and is experienced. He has been hiding his true intentions to prevent Hou Weidong from knowing the cards. The boss of Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory, Gao Wang, has been in Yiyang for two days. Hou Weidong made a lot of activities. On the first day, he arrived at Wangri Village, Shangqinglin. Several people took soil guns and went to the dense forest to hunt pheasants for a day.The next day, I went to Zhangjia Reservoir to fish in the reservoir. Mr. Gao was an expert in fishing with a gun, and he was extremely patient. He rowed a small boat to the middle of the reservoir, sat there for a day, and caught a big fish weighing seven catties. He was so happy that he closed his mouth. Not close.In the evening, everyone cooks the fish in the warehouse of the reservoir, puts ginger, onion, garlic and salt, the fish is fragrant and the soup is strong.On the third day, Gao Wang sat down and talked with the new management committee about investment and construction of the factory.Gao Wang asked for a high price, and the land was basically given away for free. In terms of taxation, he proposed "three exemptions and two half reductions", that is, income tax exemption for the first three years and income tax cut in half for the next two years. At the negotiating table, Gao Wang spoke sharply and fought for every cent, which made Zhang Jin, the executive deputy director, unable to step down several times. Zhang Jin saw that Gao Wang put forward such harsh conditions and would not give in at all. After the first negotiation meeting was over, he put forward his point of view bluntly at the project analysis meeting of the new management committee: "I doubt Gao Wang's sincerity." Hou Weidong learned from Jiang Dali that Gao Wang is usually a workaholic and rarely spends a few days in one place, so he began to worry about it, and said with a smile: "It's the nature of businessmen to ask for prices and pay back the money on the ground. As long as they If you are willing to talk, it means you are sincere. Gao Wang is the boss of a big factory, and time is precious, so he won’t waste a few days here. Write a report on the situation of Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory and bring it to me as soon as possible.” Two hours later, Hou Weidong got the report on the situation and went straight to Zhu Yan's office. When the car left the site of the new management committee, he secretly said: "It stands to reason that these matters are the government's business, and it is unreasonable not to report to Ma Youcai. "He hesitated a little, but decided to report the matter to Zhu Yan first. Zhu Yan's office was still the same. After Ren Xiaowei finished pouring the water and left the office, Hou Weidong reported in detail the contact with Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory and the results of the first phase of negotiations. Zhu Yan flipped through the materials of Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory, and said: "This kind of large enterprise has strict management, and generally they don't invest indiscriminately. Since they are willing to come to benefit Yang, it also shows that at least they have intentional things. This situation is different from Qing's. The situation of Da Group’s cement plant investing in Yiyang is very similar, you have to grasp this point and talk to them patiently and meticulously, but you can’t make too many concessions.” These words increased Hou Weidong's confidence. After talking about Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory, Zhu Yan said: "The Provincial Party School will officially open on April 15th, and you will report on the 14th." The department-level reserve class course is personally arranged by Shen Enjie, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and is divided into three periods: from April to July to study political theory, during which time visits to Yan'an, Zunyi and other places are arranged; from July until the Spring Festival of 1998, all Concentrate on studying modern economy, law and central policy guidelines; after the Spring Festival, exchange and study in the United States for two months. Zhu Yan has already obtained the schedule in advance, he is quite satisfied with the whole study arrangement, and plans to calm down and read some books during the study period. Although Hou Weidong always knew that Zhu Yan was going to leave, but when he really wanted to leave, his heart was very empty and he had no confidence. He said, "Secretary Zhu, are you leaving so soon?" Zhu Yan confessed to Hou Weidong, saying: "Yang Senlin, the office of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, will come to serve as the deputy secretary of the county party committee and preside over the daily work of the county party committee. The official notice will come out soon. Before I leave, Yang Senlin will come to report. As the new manager Director, no matter who takes the post, you must devote yourself to the construction of the new management committee. As long as you make achievements, the organization knows it, and you only need to grasp this principle and you will be fine." Leaving Zhu Yan's office, Hou Weidong tossed the bottle of five flavors in his heart, recalling what Zhu Yan said, and secretly said: "In Yiyang, Zhu Yan is always the boss, so don't think about it, just do things, don't care about fighting with gods." After meeting Zhu Yan, Hou Weidong changed his initial negotiation strategy. He entangled the deputy director Zhang Xiangyu with the inspectors of Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory, and he only set the direction of the negotiation and no longer participated in specific negotiations.He chatted with Jiang Dali and Gao Wang every day, talked about life, friendship and women, and enjoyed the fruits of reform and opening up. Through this period of investigation, Gao Wang has already taken care of the new management committee, and he is still a little anxious about this matter. In order to put the new drug into production as soon as possible, the Yiyang branch of Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory must complete the construction of the factory by the end of this year and the beginning of next year. , to ensure that new drugs are quickly developed and put into the market.Therefore, he was very mean to the negotiators of the new management committee on the stage, but he was gentle and humble in private contact.
