Chapter 165 Chapter 165 Demonstration

On March 8, 2001, Women's Day, Zhu Ziqiang was busy the night before until three o'clock in the morning. He didn't go back to the dormitory, so he slept in the lounge of the office.At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yuansheng rushed into Zhu Ziqiang's office without knocking on the door.Zhu Ziqiang turned over and jumped up. He had just slept for five hours, and his mind was still a little confused. Zhang Yuansheng shouted anxiously: "Mayor Zhu, a large number of workers gathered in Jiangjun Square for a sit-in. They held banners and demanded that the city government return the assets of the department store! And the local product company..."

Zhu Ziqiang stopped Zhang Yuansheng with a wave of his hand, blinked his eyes a few times, and then slowly took a breath and said, "Cancel the original arrangement this morning, call Secretary Jin, ask the armed police to come forward to maintain order in the venue, and report to Wu of the Public Security Bureau. The director made a phone call, dispatched plainclothes policemen to sneak into the crowd, and paid attention to the investigation of instigators, and asked Deputy Mayor Chen and Secretary-General Guan to personally meet the employee representatives, and also asked the office to prepare the venue and use the best audio equipment, Before I went, I kept playing revolutionary songs, put up banners as quickly as possible, and wrote... Qugao City State-owned Enterprise Reform Field Office Meeting. Go!"

Zhang Yuansheng was stunned for a while, Zhu Ziqiang repeated it again, this time he was finally infected by Zhu Ziqiang's composure, and quickly stabilized his mind.Seeing that Zhang Yuansheng was about to go out, Zhu Ziqiang shouted again: "Notify the municipal TV station, the newspaper office, and the provincial newspaper reporter station in Qugao. Tell them, Deputy Mayor Chen, that I will be at the venue before 9:30." After Zhang Yuansheng went out, Zhu Ziqiang walked to the window. From his office, he could see the General Square outside the city hall. The dark crowds of heads seemed extremely quiet, and the characters on the banner were not clearly visible due to the distance.A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Ziqiang's mouth. As early as a week ago, Wu Fei had informed him of the situation. Under the instigation of those who harmed the public and benefited their own interests and had ulterior motives, the employees of Qugao state-owned enterprises were likely to hold a large-scale protest.Zhu Ziqiang's heart is very calm at this time, he is the mayor, he must first stabilize the morale of the army, the performance of Zhang Yuansheng just now can explain the problem.If Zhu Ziqiang is also panicked, those guys hiding in the dark will succeed.Originally Zhu Ziqiang wanted to criticize Zhang Yuansheng, but on second thought, why bother? Zhang Yuansheng had just graduated from college for less than a year, lacked work experience, and it was the mass gathering that government departments were most afraid of.

Zhu Ziqiang picked up the phone, thought for a while, and then put the phone back. Originally, he planned to inform Zhao Dawei that Zhu Ziqiang had a certain responsibility for causing the gathering and demonstration of state-owned enterprise workers. Of course, this kind of responsibility does not mean that he should not carry out The reform is just that the staff of the reform of state-owned enterprises did not do a good job in appeasement and policy propaganda.Zhu Ziqiang began to collect and sort out information. At this time the phone rang, and Zhu Ziqiang pursed his lips. There were three phones on his desk, one was a special line connecting the provincial party committee, the provincial government, and the municipal party committee, and the other was connected to the reception desk of the external secretary. Zhang Yuansheng answered the phone number for external contact first, and then asked Zhu Ziqiang for instructions.The last one is an internal call, mainly aimed at the county-level party committee and government.

The phone that rang was the first one. Zhu Ziqiang squinted his eyes and finally picked up the phone: "I'm Zhu Ziqiang." The voice of the deputy governor came from the phone: "Xiao Zhu, what's going on with you? ? Some people responded that thousands of laid-off workers besieged you." Zhu Ziqiang said with a smile: "Vice Governor Liang, these are not laid-off workers, but in-service employees. The specific situation is as follows: some time ago we moved Qugao's department store, sugar industry, tobacco and alcohol company, supply and marketing cooperative, and local products Merger and restructuring with a pharmaceutical company, the relevant plan has been reported to you. Because the staff did not do a good job of publicity, it caused a great misunderstanding."

"Well, I know that the plan you have implemented is very good! How is the situation now? Is the mood of the masses out of order? You must do a good job of appeasement, take effective measures to help the employees solve their problems, and resolutely prevent the situation from expanding! Xiao Zhu, you are still young, some work should not be too radical, you must listen to the opinions of all parties, listen to the voices of the masses, and report anything in time." After hanging up the phone, Zhu Ziqiang was not angry, but smiled happily. The old masters were dispatched. It seems that this time they wanted to show him some color.A phosphate fertilizer factory actually brought out so many companies and mobilized thousands of people to gather and demonstrate at the same time.interesting!Zhu Ziqiang walked to the window again and saw that the armed police were already in place. There was some commotion in the crowd, but it quickly subsided, and then the staff prepared to arrange the venue.Zhu Ziqiang's cell phone rang, and Wu Fei reported that the personnel were already in place.

Look at the time, it's half past eight, and there's an hour left.Zhu Ziqiang walked into the lounge, took off his clothes, and took a shower first, humming a song while washing. Within five minutes, a faint revolutionary song came from the square: "Socialism is good, socialism is good, and a socialist country is good." The status of the people is high..." After taking a shower, I changed into a clean suit, white shirt, no tie, wiped my hair with a towel, and opened the room humming a song on the radio. Zhao Dawei stood at the window and looked back at Zhu Ziqiang: "It's a pity, if the beautiful woman comes out of the bath, Lao Zhao will be able to feast his eyes!" Zhu Ziqiang laughed and said, "Your eyes seem... very weird! Fortunately, I left the room The door is locked, otherwise, my chastity will not be guaranteed."

Zhao Dawei scolded with a smile: "Look at your virtue, thousands of people outside block the gate, you still have the mood to take a shower and change clothes! Are you not afraid that the masses will cut you alive?" "Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the earth. The city government is not the palace compound. We are the people's government, the home of the people. Are you afraid that they will block the door of your house? By the way, what are you doing here? You will come into my office later. You must knock on the door first! If you break in without permission, be careful and I will sue you!"

Zhao Dawei looked at Zhu Ziqiang dumbfounded: "Damn boy! I'm also the secretary of the municipal party committee. You don't say anything when such a big incident happens, and you dare to ask the teacher!" Pointing outside the window, he said: "Tell me, what do you plan to do? ? Look, what's done now?" Zhu Ziqiang blinked his eyes and said, "What has become what? The city government's on-site office meeting! What else can it be? It's rare for someone to help us gather so many people. We must seize the opportunity." Zhao Dawei laughed aloud: "I thought it was the loud speaker that people at the party made to denounce you, but I didn't expect it to be your kid who made a fool of yourself. You really have it! They tried their best to set up a demonstration party, but you changed it to an office Yes, be creative!"

Zhu Ziqiang rolled his eyeballs a few times, and said quickly, "Since you're here, come out with me, hehe, I didn't want you to intervene, but it's rare that the secretary personally delivered it to the door." Zhao Dawei snorted, turned around and left: "I'm not going to wipe your ass for you! Solve the problems I caused by myself! I'm worrying about you for nothing, heartless guy!" After speaking, he opened the door and left. Zhu Ziqiang continued humming, combed his hair in front of the big mirror in the bathroom, patted his face a few times to relax his muscles, and checked the time. It was still half an hour away.

At this moment, Zhang Yuansheng knocked on the door, and seeing Zhu Ziqiang's appearance, he was obviously stunned for a moment. Zhu Ziqiang smiled and said, "Isn't he handsome?" Zhang Yuansheng said with a dry smile, "Very handsome! That... the venue has been properly arranged .” Zhu Ziqiang touched his hair, which was still a little wet, got up and walked into the bathroom, complaining: "This hair dryer doesn't work well, the connection is bad, and I have time to ask someone to fix it. Yuansheng, how are those people feeling? Is there a thorn in the head?" Zhang Yuansheng raised his voice and laughed, "A few challenged Vice Mayor Chen, but none of them acted aggressively." The hair dryer in the bathroom was a bit harsh. After a few minutes, Zhu Ziqiang buttoned up a suit button and said to Zhang Yuansheng, "Let's go, let's go for a meeting." Zhang Yuansheng looked at the materials on the table and hurriedly called out, "Mayor Zhu, do you want to take these materials?" Zhu Ziqiang left without turning his head to open the door: "It's all in my head." When he reached the second floor, he saw several deputy mayors standing together neatly, with very serious expressions on their faces. Zhu Ziqiang said, "Hey! What are you guys doing here?" The deputy mayor in charge of culture, education, science and health is surnamed Yan, a middle-aged woman. Seeing Zhu Ziqiang's question, she smiled bitterly and said, "Mayor, our work has not been done well. The current situation outside..." Zhu Ziqiang smiled and said: "Nothing, the behavior of the employees is normal! Don't put on a bitter face, hehe, our job is to serve the people, let's go, let's listen to the voices of the masses together." Seeing Zhu Ziqiang's ignorant appearance, people secretly looked at each other, and each broke into a cold sweat.Zhu Ziqiang suddenly turned around and said: "Forget it, you go to your own business, this is a matter of the reform of state-owned enterprises, it's not a big deal, it's so exciting, it seems that we really did something that hurt the masses, let's go, Deputy Mayor Wen Just follow me." Deputy Mayor Wen is the deputy mayor in charge of the economy. Ever since Zhu Ziqiang and Chen Chosun shifted their focus to state-owned enterprises, he has been almost eliminated. The other deputy mayors looked at each other as if they were being pardoned. Deputy Mayor Yan was the first to leave, and the other three followed suit.Zhu Ziqiang was secretly amused, you don't want to give you a chance to show off, and don't blame me for being unkind. Deputy Mayor Wen is forty-two years old this year. His name is Wen Dongjie. Zhu Ziqiang's side is halfway apart. From the front, the two have different expressions. Zhu Ziqiang looks relaxed, as if he is on a date, while Wen Dongjie looks fierce, so you are going to charge on the battlefield. fight. Zhu Ziqiang walked out of the gate of the city hall, stopped again, turned around and waved to Zhang Yuansheng, and then whispered a few words, Zhang Yuansheng nodded, and quickly ran to the sound engineer in the square. "Mayor Zhu is here..." "The mayor is here!" "It's the mayor." "The mayor is here?" Zhu Ziqiang's arrival caused a commotion. Although he himself doesn't like to show off, many people have seen him on TV. In addition, Zhu Ziqiang doesn't like to squat in the office and run out when he has nothing to do. Deal with people on the Internet.It can be seen that for Zhu Ziqiang's arrival, some are happy, some are gleeful, some are watching the show, some are welcoming, and some are in awe. Zhu Ziqiang was unmoved, with a smile on his face, and went straight to the arranged rostrum, where the table was already set up, covered with red flannel, audio cables, microphones, and mineral water. Sitting in the middle, Ziqiang said a few words to Chen Chosun, then turned his eyes to the crowd below, from left to right, with a friendly smile on his face, and slowly glanced around. After receiving the signal from the sound engineer, Chen Chosun temporarily acted as the host of the venue, and shouted into the microphone: "Everyone stand up! Play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!" The high-spirited music instantly shocked the crowd in the venue with solemn expressions. Zhu Ziqiang stood in the middle, raised his head slightly, and hummed softly along with the national anthem. Comrade Zhu Ziqiang, mayor of the Municipal People's Government, delivered a speech." As soon as the voice fell, the applause in the venue seemed a little shabby and sparse. Zhu Ziqiang didn't care, walked out of the rostrum with a smile, turned to the front, then took a microphone in his hand, and patted it lightly twice. Well, the effect was good. . "Hello, comrades! Today is the first time in my life that I have spoken in front of so many people. Everyone's applause is not warm! Hehe, I know what everyone means. If I can't solve the practical problem, don't talk about applause. A few rotten eggs were thrown. Before we get down to business, I first have to thank everyone present. If you come to find an explanation, we will hold an on-site office meeting to solve all your problems and make a promise on the spot! Therefore, I The reporters from Qugao Daily and Qugao City TV Station have been recruited. Next, please ask the staff of Qugao TV Station to switch to a live broadcast. Everything I say here must be broadcast to the people of the city on TV. , some comrades may think in their hearts, the mayor wants to disperse us with a few words. Now that I am speaking to the whole city in front of the news media, I will not slap myself again? Do you think my sincerity is enough? ?” "Enough!" The sound was very neat, and the applause changed from sparse to enthusiastic.Zhu Ziqiang switched the microphone to his left hand and said with a smile: "Okay! Since everyone thinks that I am sincere enough, let's start right away. I think the comrades present today are mainly department stores, sugar, tobacco and alcohol companies, pharmaceutical companies, and local product companies. , and the employees of the supply and marketing cooperatives and the phosphate fertilizer factory, so let’s go along, I will ask the staff to prepare to hand over the microphone, and I will ask everyone to recommend a representative to come out and talk about your questions, and I will answer them personally !Now, department store representative, please, please pass the microphone to the staff." After a short period of confusion, the department store dispatched a middle-aged woman with a flushed face and looked very nervous. Zhu Ziqiang smiled and said, "This eldest sister is called Ma Xiuqing, a salesperson for the children's clothing cabinet in the department store, right?" Ma Xiuqing exclaimed: "How do you know?" As soon as the words came out, he remembered that he was holding a microphone in his hand, and the whole venue burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed. Zhu Ziqiang smiled and said, "Of course I know, Sister Ma is an all-rounder in the department store, and it is said that she has a unique skill of catching tea leaves, one by one, with an error of no more than five grams! Am I right?" Many people in the department store clicked, and answered "yes." Zhu Ziqiang nodded and continued: "Okay, Sister Ma, as the first representative, do you have any questions?" Ma Xiuqing was a little uneasy, she seemed still nervous, but her words came out: "My sisters are saying that after Mayor Zhu merged the department store into Chunjiang Baida, all of us old employees will be laid off. I would like to ask Zhu Mayor, will our department store reduce staff and increase efficiency?" Zhu Ziqiang nodded at Ma Xiuqing, then motioned her to sit down, and then began to speak loudly: "Sister Ma's question is very typical. It seems that not only the department store, but also other companies have the same question. Let me talk about the department store first." , Qugao Department Store cooperated with Chunjiang Baida to establish Qugao Baida Group Co., Ltd., of which Chunjiang Baida holds 49% of the shares, and Qugao Baida holds 51% of the shares. Shares, the total number of people in the original department store was 596, and the number of employees was 423. I will not talk about the previous business model. The wages of other industries are constantly rising, only your wages are constantly increasing. reduction, and it cannot be guaranteed every month. Originally, it is most correct for the current general manager of Baida Group to answer this question. The employees of the company and the supply and marketing cooperatives promise that not only will you not be laid off, but Baida Group will also recruit a group of outstanding talents from the society! For specific matters, please pay attention to your company's business scope, business projects and job settings after you go back. Here, I want to remind comrades that we must change our concepts, integrate into new jobs in a timely manner, adapt to the competition mechanism, and adjust our mentality. In the past, supply exceeded demand, but now? Customers are God! If you want high wages, We must continue to improve and improve our own business capabilities. I believe that in a few years, Qugao Baihui will become one of the most outstanding companies in our city." The most enthusiastic applause was the team of the department store. Their hearts were already relieved to get the mayor's personal promise.Zhu Ziqiang looked at them again: "Please ask the second representative of the department store." This is a middle-aged man, wearing a jacket, on the surface very stable, he took the microphone and said slowly: "Excuse me, Mayor Zhu, after the merger of Qugao Department Store and Chunjiang Baida accounted for 51% shares, so why does Chunjiang Baida hold 49% of the shares?" Zhu Ziqiang nodded, put away the smile on his face, and replied very seriously: "I will calculate the accounts for everyone. According to the original fixed assets accounts of the department store, in the column of real estate, the total price is 5,800 yuan. Ten thousand, only two of the fourteen shopping malls are still in operation, and the remaining twelve are leased to other units and individuals, and the annual rent is collected from them, totaling 300,000 yuan. It is conservatively estimated that there will be at least one million profits per year, minus the rent of 300,000, and there will be 700,000. Looking at other real estates, they are idle there. With the original strength of the old department store, it is impossible For development, the only option is to resell it. After Chunjiang Baida takes over, it will inject real estate development funds into real estate development in stages, and how much profit will it create? Coupled with Chunjiang Baida's advanced international retail management model, it combines urban and rural areas to develop Qugao Baida operates all kinds of supermarkets. Comrades, it only takes one year for Qugao Baida to turn losses into profits, and it is developing steadily. Just imagine, after three to five years, the income of your employees of Baida , is definitely not lower than the wages of banks, insurance companies, and water and electricity companies! The total assets of Qugao Baida will far exceed the current figure, and it will be several times the current figure! From the above examples, everyone thinks that Chunjiang Baida is empty A glove white wolf?" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Thank you, Mayor Zhu!" He sat back to his original seat, the masses are not fools, everyone will understand the truth after thinking about Zhu Ziqiang's words, the old department store is already dying At the stage, except for some fixed assets, they were already losing money and were about to close down. Now that Chunjiang Baida has joined in strongly, it is equivalent to bringing Qugao Department Store back to life. Of course, Chunjiang Baida will also benefit from it, which is a matter of mutual benefit. After an old employee representative in the top 100 team got Zhu Ziqiang's guarantee, the employees of the department store, the sugar industry tobacco and wine company, and the supply and marketing cooperative basically achieved the purpose of the trip.The people from these three units occupied two-thirds of the venue, and the rest were only the employees of the local product company and the pharmaceutical company. The people who saw the Baida were satisfactorily resolved, and all of them were smiling, obviously very happy with the result of the trip. satisfy.An old man from the pharmaceutical company stood up suddenly: "Then what should we do?"
