Chapter 48 Seven, the fourth pole
At this time, Zhou Yongnian was on his way to Xia Wentian's office. Originally, Xia Wentian called Zhou Yongnian's office directly through the red confidential phone to ask if Zhou Yongnian was in the office. Listen to Zhou Yongnian's views on the next step of Dongzhou's economic direction.How dare Zhou Yongnian let Xia Wentian come over in person, he said, how dare you trouble the mayor, let me go, Xia Wentian said, no problem, Zhou Yongnian drove to the city hall.
When Zhou Yongnian excitedly pushed Xia Wentian's office away, Xia Wentian was pressing his stomach and sweating.
"Wen Tian, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yongnian asked anxiously.
"It's okay, I've made an old mistake, it will be fine after a while."
Zhou Yongnian took a glass of water for Xia Wentian from the water dispenser and handed it to him. Xia Wentian felt much better after drinking the water, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and said, "Yongnian, there is something I have always wanted to discuss with you. ."
"What's the matter? The mayor may say, but what's the matter with your body? Why don't you go to the hospital for an examination?" Zhou Yongnian asked with concern.
"It's just a stomachache. It's an old problem. Every time it happens, it's over with a little effort. It's okay!" Xia Wentian said nonchalantly.
"How do you know it's all right if you didn't go to see it, you should go to the hospital for an examination!"
"Yongnian, the two sessions have just ended. Although the government work report has been passed, I know that some deputies to the National People's Congress are not satisfied with the work of the government, especially the relocation work in the Yaowangmiao community. The warm-up activity has just started, and I am so busy that I have no time to go to the hospital. I am looking for you to discuss with you, can a few people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection form the Yaowangmiao Community Relocation and Resettlement Monitoring Team, mainly Responsible for the discipline inspection and supervision of relocation and resettlement funds, preventing embezzlement, embezzlement and corruption, and ensuring that every penny falls into the hands of relocated households."
"Wentian, this is a good way. It can effectively prevent activities that harm the interests of the state and the relocated people, prevent the state compensation from being divided privately by illegal cadres, and prevent the occurrence of shady relocations."
"Yongnian, Comrade Wenshan is about to go to the Central Party School to study. Your burden is not light! The province has always attached great importance to the safety production of Huangxian Molybdenum Mine. I checked with Dahai last time and found no problems, but Zhang Tienan He Niu Lushan actually used Buddha Tiaoqiang to disguise Shanzhen soup, and Maotai wine to pretend to be Huangxian Shilixiang to deceive me and Dahai into corruption. I suspect that I did a surprise attack last time. Zhang Tienan and Niu Lushan got the news in advance, and the entire molybdenum mining area did the same. It’s a disguise, I didn’t see the real thing, I heard that you have also made several private visits in a micro-service, did you find any clues?”
"Wen Tian, I suspect that the Huangxian Molybdenum Mine has had safety accidents many times, but it was concealed and not discovered."
"Is there any evidence?"
"There is no evidence yet, but Dahai instructed the head of the criminal police detachment, Shi Cunshan, to use the opportunity of investigating Wei Xiaoliu's case to conduct a secret investigation. I believe the truth will come to light soon."
"Yongnian, we must speak with evidence. Dake and Zhendongke both worked in Huang County. During the investigation, we must pay attention to the unity of the team."
"Don't worry about this, I have a sense of proportion, but the fire cannot be contained in the paper, and you will be surprised when the cover is lifted!" Zhou Yongnian said seriously.
"Yongnian, what do you think of the questioning incident?"
"I think the people's congress representative's question is very reasonable. Regardless of Comrade Zhendong's attitude, he has to admit the fact that Qiongshui Lake is being seriously polluted. Maybe eight million Dongzhou citizens will have no water to eat overnight. ."
"That's why I stopped real estate development by Qiongshui Lake in the first place. Although I am the mayor of a city, in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, only Da Ke and I are the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. The minority obeys the majority." , although I have opinions on establishing a real estate market, I still have to implement it. In fact, Dongzhou, as an old industrial base, takes the road of equipment manufacturing and automobile first is the long-term plan and the foundation of the city!"
"I agree with your point of view, but it is right to build an international convention and exhibition center, and the idea of holding an international world expo is also right. Comrade Wenshan is a bit stubborn. I hope that he will have a new understanding of what is the scientific concept of development when he goes to the Central Party School to study this time. After arriving in Dongzhou, I researched from the era of Zhao Changzheng, Wang Yuanzhang, Xiao Honglin, to you and Hong Wenshan. I think that the way of Dongzhou municipal government work has never completely got rid of the way of thinking in the era of planned economy. The ministry's "money" goes to the country to fight for big projects, thinking that when big projects come, taxes will increase, the government's financial resources will increase, and it will be able to do things. However, this idea has problems in real life: one is to increase Big projects are very difficult. Really good projects are based on the unified layout of the country, and they cannot be won just by fighting for them. Second, it takes five to eight years for you to collect taxes on big projects that are fought over. Third, when the enterprise has money, it should also leave the money to the enterprise to allow it to continue to develop. The finances cannot be taken as their own, and they cannot kill the chicken to get the eggs. Fourth, in fact, some projects are untenable and may carry heavy burdens Debt burden, even if the government approves this project, it is often the government's behavior. It was built with a large amount of loans, and it was already heavily in debt before it opened. This kind of lesson can be found everywhere. What is even more terrifying is that this kind of "department" Qian'jin's thinking was introduced into the work of attracting investment. Instead of asking for large projects from the national ministries and commissions, he asked for foreign businessmen. As a result, no matter how bad the project was, even foreign garbage was brought in. Wen Tian, this year's first standing committee meeting , Comrade Wenshan also proposed that this year is the project year, and last year was the real estate year. From this, it can be traced back to the innovation year, greening year, opening year, etc. It seems that if you don’t make a name for yourself every year, you can’t work if you don’t make a reason. Let me say, Every year should be the year of people's livelihood, and this is the responsibility of the government. I always believe that the government should build a limited government, provide effective services, do something and not do something, and do things that are not in place, not offside, and not vacant. My current worldview is people-oriented, and my methodology is practice first. The so-called people-oriented means that the first starting point is what the people think, what the people want, and what the people’s wishes are. The so-called practice first means that no matter what theories, ideas and methods, It must be tested in practice, otherwise, it will be empty reading."
"Yongnian, listening to your words is really better than reading ten years of books. You can see some problems clearly than me, the mayor!" Xia Wentian said approvingly.
"You are being modest. The idea you put forward to establish a city for equipment manufacturing and put cars first is in line with the actual situation in Dongzhou. Dongzhou is known as the "Ruhr" of the East. Industry will always be the foundation of a city. Attracting investment and attracting phoenixes to build nests, this practice is actually handing over the development rights of the primary land market to developers. A large number of land resources are monopolized by a small number of enterprises, and low prices have caused the loss of state-owned land assets. The central government will not sit idly by in this situation."
"This is what I worry about. The current economic structure of Dongzhou is 'Dongqi, Xizhong, Nanwen, and Beinong'. Since the reform and opening up, following the trajectory from the coast to the inland, China's economic development has progressed in stages. The Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River The Triangle and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region have gradually become the three growth poles of China's economic development. After these three growth poles face limited industrial development space and stable economic growth, the fourth growth pole of the Chinese economy will emerge. From economic In terms of strength and geographical location, Dongzhou not only has the strength to compete, but also the only choice to strive to become the "pole" of the fourth growth pole. At present, the east is the automobile industry base, the south is the high-tech industrial zone, and the north is the high-tech agricultural industry Only the western region is the best choice for the development of heavy chemical industry. First, it has a solid foundation. Second, since the 1950s, the western sewage river has served as the sewage outlet of Dongzhou, and has been receiving wastewater and production sewage from industrial enterprises for a long time. , the surrounding land is gradually being converted into industrial land. Today, when the country strictly controls industrial land, large areas of land in the sewage river basin have become rare industrial development land!"
"Wen Tian, your idea is good. I suggest that after Wenshan returns from his studies at the Central Party School, he should go to the Standing Committee to discuss it. If this idea is realized, why don't Dongzhou's economy become China's fourth growth pole?"
The two were talking happily when Long Xiaobo pushed the door open and said, "Mayor Xia, Director Ding of the Beijing Office is here and said he has something important to report to you."
"At the end of the year and the end of the year, isn't this guy asking the mayor for money?" Zhou Yongnian said jokingly.
"Please come in!" Xia Wentian said with a smile.
Long Xiaobo went out, and after a while, Ding Nengtong walked in with a pleasant smile.
"I didn't expect that Secretary Zhou was here, so I just wanted to report to the two leaders. Mayor Xia, the end of the year is usually the best time to make money from the Ministry. The Beijing Offices of other provinces, cities and counties are already busy. The ministries and commissions of the country have run away. Although our Dongzhou Beijing Office has added the function of civilianization, but in previous years, it was sent to the various ministries and commissions of the country related to Dongzhou. This year, there is no movement. I am afraid it is not good. , I can’t make up my mind, so I came here to ask the mayor for instructions, what should Dongzhou do in Beijing?”
After Ding Nengtong finished speaking, Xia Wentian looked at Zhou Yongnian, and Zhou Yongnian also looked at Xia Wentian. Neither of them made a statement, which made Ding Nengtong confused.
"The two leaders express their views!" Ding Nengtong said helplessly.
"Wen Tian, judging from the current situation, although the possibility of directly receiving funds and project support from various ministries, commissions, bureaus, and bureaus of the country is getting smaller every year, but they have run away in previous years. If they suddenly stop running this year, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. The transformation of the functions of the Beijing Office must be done step by step, and the brakes should not be too hasty. I think some activities such as the New Year Tea Party for the purpose of contacting relevant ministries and commissions will still be held this year. Don’t forget that the Dongzhou Metro project has not yet been approved. Come down now. And I suggest you go to Beijing to host it yourself!" Zhou Yongnian said seriously.
"Yes, what is the attitude of your Beijing office?" Xia Wentian asked treacherously.
"Mayor Xia, in front of you and Secretary Zhou, I really want to talk about the difficulties in my heart. No matter how the functions of the Beijing Office are changed, we have to do the reception work for the city leaders and their families. The duty of the Beijing Office is not. Now, besides the budgetary funds, the ministries and commissions of the central government also have a transfer payment from the central government. The National People’s Congress does not know how to spend this money, and the common people don’t even know. Only the Beijing Office knows best, because which The Beijing office runs the "department" and "money" runs frequently, runs fast, and runs well. The provinces and cities with the money in this "little treasury" get more money. We will not run this year, other Beijing offices will run Yes, everyone knows it in their hearts, and whoever runs will get the most benefits!" Ding Nengtong said objectively.
"So, you mean you should run away?" Xia Wentian asked with a smile.
"We listen to the leader. If the leader tells us to run, we will run. If the leader doesn't let us run, we will not run." Ding Nengtong said tactfully.
"It seems that you, Ding Nengtong, want to generalize our army! I think we can do it according to Comrade Yongnian's wishes. If you can, how many leaders at the deputy ministerial level and above who are stationed in Beijing from Dongzhou?"
"The package does not include the returned ones?"
"Of course it includes."
"Thirty-three."
"What about those above the deputy director level?"
"Hundreds of people."
"I think all the deputy director-level and above are invited to the Beijing Garden, including those who have helped Dongzhou a lot and those who Dongzhou is asking for. They are all invited to hold a New Year's party. This will solve the problem of being stationed in Beijing. The pain of running the 'ministries' and 'money' has deepened the relationship and friendship with the leaders of various ministries, commissions, bureaus and bureaus of the country." Xia Wentian said with his hands clasped behind his back.
"The Beijing offices of other provinces and cities are busy delivering them. Even if we have a group visit, we can't let him go home empty-handed. Can we prepare some gifts?" Ding Nengtong asked tentatively.
"I think it's better to work hard on the quality of the content of the group meeting. To make people feel the deep affection, nostalgia, and friendship when they come, we should prepare some Dongzhou local products as gifts." Xia Wentian said over and over again.
"As the saying goes, if you are close or not, you are a fellow countryman. If you owe a favor, you should get something in return. It is reasonable to give some souvenirs." Zhou Yongnian echoed.
"It works, the problem of running the 'department' and 'money' has been solved, what work have you done for the new function?" Xia Wentian asked with a smile.
"During this period, the Beijing Office has consciously weakened its entertainment, public relations and reception functions, and strengthened its functions of serving the people. The Spring Festival is approaching, and it is collecting statistics on the return date and arrival of migrant workers from Dongzhou. , preparing to report to the railway department for unified group ticketing. In addition, people who come to Beijing to petition now are usually notified by the State Letters and Calls Bureau and the public security department to the local Beijing Office to pick them up, and the Beijing Office then notifies the local township level government to come to Beijing. The Beijing Office is responsible for maintaining the stability of the capital and maintaining the image of the local government, which is also an objective requirement for creating a harmonious society." Ding Nengtong said secretly.
"Okay, it seems that the Beijing Office has indeed made a breakthrough in the transformation of functions, and the subject must be carried out without slackening for a moment. In addition, Secretary Hong went to the Central Party School to study after the Spring Festival. If you can pass it, you have to take care of it. In Secretary Hong's life, he has diabetes, is in poor health, and the secretary can't be with him all the time. He usually goes to the Central Party School. Okay, I'm going to have an assessment."
After all, Xia Wentian and Zhou Yongnian laughed out loud.
"Wen Tian, I think next time the Standing Committee should study the discipline of leading cadres at and above the deputy city level after entering Beijing. The Beijing Office will not allow them to receive their family members and children. Once discovered, they will be punished by the party and government. What do you think? like?"
"Leading cadres themselves have to make some regulations when they come to Beijing, such as dining, car use standards, and accommodation standards are not allowed to exceed the standard, let alone the private use of public cars, and public funds to entertain guests for private affairs." Xia Wentian added.
Ding Nengtong was amused when he heard this, and thought to himself, the two leaders are so innocent and cute, the standard is dead, but people are alive. There are some rich friends around me. The leaders have not left yet, and the rich people have already made arrangements in Beijing. The key for the leaders to use the Beijing Office is to use the magic power of the Beijing Office. The Beijing Offices in various places use it every year to dredge relationships The gray funds are more than 20 billion yuan, and the Dongzhou Beijing Office is no less than 100 to 200 million yuan a year. The money is spent through the hands of the director of the Beijing Office. The city leaders use the Beijing Office to use their connections. Control the network?Of course it is the director of the Beijing Office.The network resources woven by the Beijing Office through daily public relations are the greatest wealth for the city leaders. If they are used well, they can be promoted step by step. Therefore, the Beijing Office is a "field" formed by the interweaving and continuation of various interests." This "field" connects the top-down and bottom-up political "channels".With this "channel", local officials can share the political and economic resources concentrated in Beijing, and change their functions. This "field" must be broken, and this "field" involves vital interests from bottom to top and top to bottom. , easier said than done!
