Chapter 29 Two, subject
In the evening, Lin Dake, as the mayor in charge of the Dongzhou Office in Beijing, specially hosted a banquet for cadres above the division level of the Beijing Office. In the restaurant of the Beijing Office in Beijing Garden, two tables were set up. The wine glasses are toasted by the table, which is very approachable.
After the dinner, Lin Dake deliberately called Ding Nengtong, Yang Shanshui, Hu Zhanfa, and Rong Guoku to his room, and he wanted to listen to the report on the investigation of the research team of the Beijing Office.
"Yes, how is the project assigned by Comrade Wen Tian going?"
Lin Dake handed out a cigarette alone, Ding Nengtong hurriedly lit it for Lin Dake, and everyone lit it separately, and the report began in a peaceful atmosphere.
"Mayor Lin, after I arrived at the Beijing Office, I held a meeting of party members and cadres, and set up a research group, which was led by Zhanfa and the State Treasury. They have already visited 52 Beijing Offices above the sub-provincial level, prefectures and cities. Nearly one-third of the Beijing Offices at the top level have gone, and more than a dozen of the county’s Beijing Offices. They also interviewed the Hong Kong Office in Beijing and made a preliminary research report. I read it, although there are some constructive opinions , but they are still immature. I suggest that they listen to the opinions of entrepreneurs who often go to Beijing to work, and even ordinary people who go to Beijing to see a doctor, send their children, go to Beijing to go to school, and migrant workers. It has the significance of operability and general promotion." Ding Nengtong said with complacency.
"Your ideas are very good. To be honest, the Beijing Office is indeed a special institution in China, a product of Chinese characteristics. It is somewhat mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people and some local cadres. I would ask, what are the Beijing Offices busy with in Beijing? Our topic is to answer the question of what they are busy with. The initial prototype of the Beijing Office was a guild hall in the Qing Dynasty, which was a kind of semi-official that naturally emerged based on the needs of fellow villagers. It was a semi-civil organization. At that time, the core function of the guild hall was to provide accommodation and logistics services for scholars who came to Beijing to rush for the exam. Some candidates in remote areas did not pass the exam and did not go home. They lived in the guild hall until the next major exam. Later, the business of the guild hall continued to expand, providing various types of help to the fellow villagers of all walks of life living in the capital, such as running the cemetery of the fellow villagers, education, charity performances, funerals, charity and other chores needed by the fellow villagers. The function of the guild hall should be for you. The Beijing Office has inspired you!" Lin Dake took a puff of cigarette and said.
"Yes, China abolished the imperial examination system in 1905, and the quintessential cultural phenomenon of guild halls also declined accordingly. After liberation, China became a highly planned society, where people could not move around casually, and guild halls were basically declared dead." Ding Nengtong added Say.
"Actually, our ancestors left us many good things. The reason why many people are so stupid now is because they have forgotten the history. For the subject of changing the functions of the Beijing Office, we must broaden our horizons and keep our minds far away." Lin You can say it boldly.
"Mayor Lin, we have indeed considered some new functions. During the investigation, we found that with the continuous development of the market economy and the continuous advancement of science and technology, some functions of the Beijing Office to collect information have been weakened. However, another However, the functions are being strengthened, that is, aiming at Beijing, the largest talent pool in the country, to "poach people" from Beijing. Some Beijing offices have established a talent market office, with the purpose of promoting the rational allocation of human resources in Beijing and localities and cross-regional exchanges. , provide cross-regional talent services for enterprises in the two places, publicize and display local talent preferential policies, learn about the latest talent developments in the country in Beijing, and give feedback to the local area to better guide the local talent work." Hu Zhanfa said cautiously.
"Okay, this function has changed for the better. It provides consultation and contact for all kinds of talents who are interested in developing in Dongzhou, an old industrial base. Talents have a wider vision, including fresh graduates, in-service personnel, retired experts, and those who have returned from studying abroad. Personnel, etc., the Beijing Office must have the courage to set up camp in Beijing, a highland of talents, and continuously send all kinds of talents for the construction of Dongzhou. Some people say that the Beijing Office is a breeding ground for corruption and should be abolished. I disagree. From this point of view, I believe that the merits of the Beijing offices outweigh the demerits, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The Beijing offices in various places have contributed to the construction of their hometown and the prosperity and stability of the capital. During the "Cultural Revolution", the Beijing offices in various places were slandered as pirates. Didn’t the secret service organization that obtained the central intelligence be abolished, and there were some who would never repent and went underground and persisted until the reform and opening up?” Lin Dake said emotionally.
"Yes, in the early days of reform and opening up, the Beijing Office was mainly responsible for receiving local government officials, attracting investment for local economic development, and collecting information. All localities sent elite soldiers to the capital to do their best for the local construction facilities and serve the central government. The implementation and implementation of the policy has played an indelible role." Yang Shanshui said with emotion.
"Shanshui, you are the one who came to Beijing in the early days of reform and opening up, right?" Lin Dake asked with great interest.
"That's right, I was assigned to work in the city government office just a few days after I graduated from university, and then I was assigned to the Beijing Office. I have been working for twenty years!" Yang Shanshui sighed.
"In recent years, the Beijing Office has made a lot of contributions to Dongzhou. Not to mention, the former director of Nengtong won a 500,000-ton pulp project with a national investment of 10 billion and settled in Dongzhou. The Dongzhou Iron and Steel Works has won a loan of 300 million yuan for technical transformation and a foreign exchange quota of nearly 13 million US dollars. Needless to say, the foreign and domestic capital introduced to Dongzhou is about one billion US dollars every year. If it can be connected, it will be even more I have the ability, on the opening day of the Flower Expo, I actually chartered a Boeing 737 passenger plane to the central government with a total of 140 to 50 people, including relevant leaders, well-known people in the economic, cultural, and media circles, famous experts, and scholars. The high-level delegation sent to the opening site, creating a precedent for Dongzhou's foreign exchanges and foreign affairs activities in history!"
After Lin Dake finished speaking, he laughed loudly, and everyone also laughed in agreement.
"Mayor Lin, another important function is to serve the migrant workers in Beijing. At present, there are more and more migrant workers from Dongzhou to work in Beijing, and the problems are overwhelming. The Beijing Office should play a role in this aspect , not only to serve local party and government officials, but also to serve migrant workers in Dongzhou." Rong Guoku added.
"The state treasury is on point. I suggest that the Beijing Office set up a service office for migrant workers to solve practical problems for migrant workers in Beijing, so that migrant workers in Dongzhou can have a backer!" Lin Dake was very excited, he He continued another cigarette and said.
"Mayor Lin, in fact, the change of functions of the Beijing Office is only one aspect of the problem. On the other hand, the country should also make up its mind to change the problem that ministries and commissions have too much power to allocate resources." Ding Nengtong said helplessly.
"Yes, some power departments of the country have followed the practice of the planned economy era in the macro-control. Departmental powers have been increased and departmental powers have been expanded, and some departments have even become stakeholders. The power has been departmentalized and the power has been benefited. In recent years, although the State Council has required all departments to reduce approval procedures, some projects that do not need to be approved have been changed to a review and filing system. , but in fact, except for those irrelevant and outdated approval items that were abolished, those with high "gold content" were not abolished. Not only that, some departments also established a lot of new approval items through macro-control, Under such circumstances, the local government will not be able to get things done if it does not go to the Ministry!"
"The so-called "money" in the 'ministries' is to follow what one likes. We all know what the person in charge of a certain department, a certain department, a certain bureau has likes. Over the years, I have played cards, drank, traveled, and bought things with them. Calligraphy and painting, buying antiques. Once, I drank and vomited blood in order to get rid of a deputy director. After that, I played mahjong with him all night with the help of alcohol. It was really miserable at that time!" Yang Shanshui complained.
Everyone was silent when they heard this. Ding Nengtong handed Yang Shanshui a cigarette, lit him up and said, "Shanshui, the more this is the case, the more the Beijing Office should adjust and reform. Only reform can meet the needs of the development of the times. To better play the function of promoting local economic construction."
As soon as Ding Neng finished talking, the text message on his mobile phone sounded. He checked the content and found that it was from Luo Xiaomei. Ding Nengtong showed the text message to Lin Dake, which meant that the leader should decide the time. Lin Da could see that the issue was well discussed It was almost done, and I gave a few more comments before announcing the end.
After everyone left, Lin Dake and Ding Nengtong walked out of the room.
