Chapter 3 third chapter

Tao Fan proposed to transform the guest house of the prefectural committee into a three-star hotel.Of course, we can't build houses like ordinary people, so let's do it when we say it.When the government builds a hotel, it always has a great significance.Tao Fan said at the leadership meeting of the prefectural committee that in order to accelerate the development of Xizhou, it must attract investment from all parties and borrow external forces skillfully.Foreign businessmen come to inspect, but they can't even find a place to sleep. What's the deal?Therefore, it is imperative to reform the hospitality of the prefectural committee.

As soon as the news came out, there was everything to say.The biggest opinions are still veteran cadres.They think the guest house is too luxurious, so they want to turn it into a hotel?Isn't the guest house just for meetings?Do you have to sleep in a high-end hotel to come up with policies?Chairman Mao's "On Protracted War" was written in a cave! It was at this time that some old cadres clamored for the repair of the old cadre activity center.Liu Jiahou took the report and came to Tao Fan: "Our region is the only one in the whole province that does not have an activity center for veteran cadres. Although we are rated as an advanced unit every year, the province urges us to build an activity center for veteran cadres every year."

The prefectural committee has studied it many times, and they all said that the Laogan Activity Center will not be repaired for the time being.Finances are too tight.Why did it suddenly come up again?It must be the old cadres who came here to build the hotel.Tao Fan thought that Liu Jiahou was really ignorant of current affairs, so he couldn't see what the old cadres were thinking.He didn't criticize Liu Jiahou either, just said: "You can put the report here." There was nothing to do with Liu Jiahou, but he still wanted to say something: "Secretary Tao, Comrade Chen Yongdong participated in the physical examination organized by us this time. This is the first time."

"How is the old man?" Tao Fan asked. Liu Jiahou said: "I don't know the specific situation yet." Tao Fan got angry when he heard this, and said with a dark face: "Comrade Jiahou, you are shameless! You are an old cadre and bureau chief, what do you care about? First, they are happy, and second, they are healthy! Everything else is Big talk!" Liu Jiahou didn't expect Tao Fan to get angry because of this, and his face was as red as a monkey's ass.He regretted being talkative, and he was fine when he left just now.Tao Fan slowed down his tone and said, "You don't understand Mr. Chen, you think he is crazy. The old man's eyes are very bright! We need to contact him more often and ask for instructions and reports. You go and report Mr. Chen's physical examination immediately. Figure it out and tell me."

Liu Jiahou smiled and went out.Tao Fan thought it was really troublesome to do things about the old man's activity center.If you have the conditions, you can consider it. It is nothing more than building a house.But Xizhou is too poor and stretched.Besides, Tao Fan has opinions on building an activity center for old cadres, and thinks this kind of work idea is a bit weird.When he saw the centers for Chinese women, Chinese teenagers, and Chinese workers on the streets of Beijing, he became suspicious: if a house is built in Beijing and a "China" sign is hung, all Chinese women, teenagers, and working class will be there. Happy?absurd!How many veteran cadres should there be in Xizhou?Building an activity center in the prefectural committee means caring for veteran cadres in the whole region?

After a while, Liu Jiahou came back and said, "Mr. Chen is fine, just a little hypoglycemia." Tao Fan was reviewing the documents, without raising his head, he just said, "Got it." Tao Fan didn't need to say anything more.He knew that Liu Jiahou would definitely go outside to publicize how Tao Fan cared about Mr. Chen's body.As soon as this word spread, it meant that Tao Fan cared not only for Mr. Chen, but for all veteran cadres.Liu Jiahou is naturally willing to do this kind of exaggeration, which shows how much Tao Fan attaches great importance to Lao Gan's work.Liu Jiahou is willing to believe that Tao Fan appreciates him even if he pretends to be affectionate.

Tao Fan was busy with the matter at hand. Seeing that Liu Jiahou hadn't left yet, he said, "The matter of the old cadre activity center should be postponed. You have to do the work of the old comrades. You can consider improving the conditions for the entertainment, leisure and exercise of the old comrades. One door There are fewer courts, so build another one. You can also use two offices as chess and card rooms for old comrades to play poker and chess. You can also organize more activities, such as holding calligraphy and painting competitions. I think old comrades will understand our work Difficult."

"We followed Secretary Tao's instructions. The old comrades have always supported the work of the prefectural committee." Liu Jiahou could only say this, so that Tao Fan could have face and he would have face.But he really didn't know what to do.His Bureau of Veteran Cadres has actually become the Bureau of Letters and Visits of Veteran Cadres.Most of the veteran cadres come to the Veteran Bureau for one thing, that is, to give advice. Soon, the province actually returned a petition letter from a veteran cadre.What that letter meant was that the veteran cadres were highly conscious, sympathetic to the financial difficulties, and voluntarily gave up the request to build the old cadre activity center in order to save money and help renovate dilapidated houses in primary and secondary schools; Build luxury hotels.It can be seen that the Xizhou prefectural committee team is a wasteful team, a team that is greedy for foreign affairs, and a team that does things unrealistically.Therefore, the provincial party committee is strongly requested to seriously deal with the wrong practices of the Xizhou prefectural party committee.

Deputy Secretary Zhou, who was in charge of the work of the provincial party committee, instructed: transfer to the Xizhou prefectural committee. Seeing that Deputy Secretary Zhou's instructions were very principled, Tao Fan felt at ease because he had no objections.Thinking about this petition letter again, it is nothing more than a few old comrades who can't figure it out, so let him go.Tao Fan just signed the word "read" on the petition. Guan Yinda sent the letter back to the Secretary Section for filing, but Wu Mingxian ran over and asked, "Secretary Tao, do you want to transfer the petition letter from the veteran cadre that was transferred back from the province to the Veteran Cadre Bureau for reading?"

"I signed such a big reading, didn't you see it?" Tao Fan said. Wu Mingxian didn't understand what Tao Fan meant, so he asked again: "What I mean is, what should I do with this letter?" Tao Fan laughed and looked at Wu Mingxian: "Old Wu, does it count if I read it?" Wu Mingxian blushed immediately, and hurriedly said, "That's not what it means." Tao Fan smiled again: "That's not what you mean, what do you mean? Anyway, you didn't understand what I meant. It's normal for some old comrades to have opinions about the renovation of the guest house. We ask everyone, including all old comrades, to understand and agree with me. It’s unrealistic to support the work of the prefectural committee. It’s not that we don’t pay attention to the opinions of veteran comrades, but the minority obeys the majority. This is also the party’s principle. Don’t bring up this matter again, lest there will be an uproar even if nothing happens.”

Wu Mingxian said: "I see that some of the words in this letter are too harsh, and it is necessary to clarify among the old comrades..." Tao Fan shook his head and said, "Old Wu, you are such a nerd. Do you think that some opinions can really be unified? Do you think that some opinions and rumors can really be clarified? Do you think that everyone can be united under any circumstances? I know you may be out of good intentions. Seeing some radical remarks in this letter, you want to do some work to resolve it. I said it’s unnecessary, Old Wu. The prefectural committee doesn’t even have this kind of magnanimity, so how do you work?” Wu Mingxian seemed to have suddenly realized, and nodded continuously: "Yes, yes, yes, Secretary Tao, look, I was confused for a while." Tao Fan thought to himself, how can you be confused for a while?I've never seen you shrewd.Tao Fan proposed Wu Mingxian to be the secretary-general.Outsiders thought that Tao Fan admired Wu Mingxian very much, but it was not the case.His evaluation of Wu Mingxian in his heart is in six words: literary talent, little talent.Fortunately, with a few capable deputy secretary-generals, there will be no delays.Tao Fan deliberately maintained the power structure of the staff team in this way.When Zhang Zhaolin was the secretary-general, he was too tough.It is not appropriate to always ask the staff to be tough.The so-called Zhang Zhaolin era of the staff team is bound to come to an end.Tao Fan always praised Wu Mingxian in formal occasions and criticized in private occasions.Wu Mingxian looked very respectable, but in fact he couldn't be hard.The deputy secretaries-general were dissatisfied with Wu Mingxian in their hearts, but because of Tao Fan's face, they had to perfunctory on the scene.Wu Mingxian didn't dislike Tao Fan just because he received a few words of scolding in private.After all, Tao Fan promoted him.Wu Mingxian would say that Tao Fan is his great benefactor. Tao Fan has more far-reaching considerations in promoting Wu Mingxian as the secretary-general.If there is a half-time official on his head, he will worry about the emperor and courtiers.After Tao Fan took office, he only promoted a deputy commissioner from the secretary of the county party committee, and the entire county, city and departmental team did not move a single person.When people saw that the former prefectural party secretary's staff remained intact, they all said that Secretary Tao was upright.In fact, Tao Fan doesn't need to rush to impress people.He took the position of secretary of the prefectural party committee, and he only needed to have a brainstorming conversation with the bosses below. Isn't the former staff the same as Tao Fan's staff?Besides, he was originally the deputy secretary in charge of the cadres, so he got along well with the cadres below.He is now the top leader, and the cadres don't feel like they have changed their masters.When considering the candidate for the secretary-general at the beginning, he could have found it from the secretary of the county party committee.But he was afraid that it would not be fair for a while, so he temporarily promoted Wu Mingxian.After all, Wu Mingxian's qualifications are considered old, and he can pass the mention.Among the secretary of the county party committee, there were two veterans, but they were not Tao Fan's favorite.Tao Fan secretly valued it, but lacked a little qualifications.Tao Fan knew that in a year or two, several leaders of the local People's Congress and the Political Consultative Conference reached retirement age one after another, so the two senior county party secretaries were replaced.In this way, Tao Fan's favorite young people can be promoted to actual positions.It is an expedient measure for Wu Mingxian to serve as the secretary-general at present. The heads of counties, cities and departments are all counting, whose turn it is this time, and whose turn it will be next time.Everyone knows exactly what kind of wheel method is.Anyway, people will not be hired solely on the basis of seniority or political performance, and the knowledge is so mysterious that it cannot be explained in words.Tao Fan was secretly thinking about it, with a plan in mind. One day, Mr. Chen suddenly came to Tao Fan's office.Tao Fan was listening to Wu Mingxian's report on a few things, so he asked Wu Mingxian to come back later.Wu Mingxian poured tea for Mr. Chen himself, and withdrew.Old Chen still had long hair, but it wasn't braided, and he wore it casually, like an old hippie. Tao Fan asked, "Does Mr. Chen have any orders?" Mr. Chen showed no expression, and said: "The lower team, it's okay to just leave it alone." Mr. Chen also started to interfere with the work of the prefectural committee, Tao Fan didn't expect it at all.He didn't want to say much, so he just said: "The prefectural committee made overall arrangements, please rest assured Mr. Chen. Does Mr. Chen have any specific opinions?" Mr. Chen glanced at Tao Fan, looked a little angry, and said, "Do you think I want to propose which cadre to hire? I have no selfish intentions!" "Where, that's not what I mean, I just want to hear old Chen's opinion." Tao Fan laughed. Chen Laoban lowered his head and said: "After you came up, the cadre team was stable, and everyone said you were a good person. This shows that you are decent and very good. But you can't be a good old man. It is good to have a stable cadre team, but the stability has been too long. It will not work. Chairman Mao said it well, running water will not rot, and household hinges will not be moth. The commanders of the eight major military regions have to change their defenses." Tao Fan said: "Mr. Chen, your opinion has been considered by the prefectural committee. We are making plans, and there is a process. Don't worry, I will try my best to lead the Xizhou team well." Mr. Chen said: "If it doesn't work, we must resolutely drop it." "Okay, we will." Tao Fan asked, "Old Chen, your blood sugar is a little low, you should pay attention to nutrition and rest." Old Chen raised his head slowly and asked, "How do you know?" Tao Fan joked, "I'm the secretary of the prefectural committee, so I have to take care of everything." "I'm fine." Old Chen got up and left, with a faint smile on his face.
