Chapter 7 Chapter VII

Shu Peide was really good, and soon became the leading brand of private enterprises in Western State.The state-owned enterprises in Xizhou can't do well, but individual enterprises are booming.The prefectural committee wrote many articles, most of which were published under the name of Tao Fan.The provincial government paid attention to it and sent people down to sort out the materials.It is popular to say "phenomenon" nowadays, and the so-called "Xizhou Phenomenon" was born in this way. The province wants to hold an on-site meeting in Xizhou to promote the development of individual and private economies in the province.But some theorists are still fighting for the concept of individual private economy.The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee went to Xizhou to investigate in person, and had a long talk with Tao Fan all night.Tao Fan felt a little heavy, and said: "We should stop making fuss about concepts, but proceed from reality. The finances of counties and cities in Xizhou used to be very poor, and their income has risen rapidly in recent years. Why? We After the calculation, it turned out that the contribution of the individual and private economy to the finances increased by 15 times, accounting for more than 60 to 70 percent of the fiscal revenue. Ignoring basic economic facts, delving into economic or political concepts to play word games ,Can not be done."

The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee said: "I share your concerns. However, if some people get involved in China's problems, it will not be a simple economic problem, but a political problem. It is said that everything is centered on economic construction, but in real life Or at critical times, politics is still the biggest thing in China. I have repeatedly considered that if our province takes the lead in holding an experience exchange meeting on the development of individual and private economies, it will be popular in the whole country. But I don’t know whether it is a disaster or a blessing. But this The work is too important, and a meeting must be held to speed it up."

Tao Fan said: "I suggest that the meeting should still be held, but the name of the meeting should be more strategic. It is not called an experience exchange meeting, but a seminar. As long as top leaders from all cities and cities participate in the meeting, the effect will be the same." The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee laughed loudly and said, "Old Tao, you are a cunning and cunning person. Okay, let's call it a seminar. You all need to prepare well, this meeting will have historic significance." No matter where people come to investigate the private economy, they must go to Shupeide Company.Shu Peide had to report in detail, saying what are the main points of his experience.Tao Fan went there in person and listened to Shu Peide's report for an hour.Tao Fan was so happy that day that he agreed to have lunch in his company.After Tao Fan went to the washroom, Guan Yinda said to Shu Peide: "You have introduced the situation well. I have a suggestion. You should prepare several different versions of the report materials according to different report objects. The superior leader is here. Your report should be short, ten minutes at the most. Leave time for him to ask questions. The leader asks a few more questions, which is for investigation and research. It is already rare for Secretary Tao to listen to you for an hour without saying a word. Explanation Secretary Tao thinks highly of you."

Shu Peide hurriedly said, "It's all because of the good care of Section Chief Guan." Guan Yinda went on to say: "What questions the leader will probably ask, you have to prepare in advance. Every time the leader asks a question, you have to remember it, maybe another leader will ask it next time. This is what a hero asks. I see the same thing. If the pen from the higher-level unit comes to write materials, you have to explain in detail, and the time can be longer, it doesn’t matter if it’s an hour. When the journalists come, you only need to say a few sentences, and they will ask questions Come on. Their understanding of the situation is always superficial, and they can’t go deep. Also, you should pay attention to your wording. For example, what are the main points of your own experience that you like to say. This is not good. Be humble. You have to describe experience as practice, and what are the main points of my practice. Or what are my personal superficial understandings.”

Shu Peide nodded and said, "Chief Guan is right. If you do this, I will pass." Shupeide really knows everything.He kept reporting, again and again, and soon trained as a professional press spokesman.Gradually, he appeared in Taoling more and more times.Tao Fan became polite to him and even invited him to sit in the study once.At the province's seminar on developing private enterprises, Shu Peide made a written speech.When Shu Peide spoke, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee sitting on the rostrum turned his head and whispered something to Tao Fan.Both smiled and nodded.Those with sharp eyes could tell that the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee admired Shu Peide very much.As long as private business owners can come to work, they will become members of the CPPCC.At the end of the year, Shu Peide also became a member of the provincial CPPCC.

People gradually saw some officialdom routines, and found that the higher-ups began to summarize the experience of a place, which was to create public opinion on personnel arrangements, and the boss here was about to be promoted.Recently, people in Xizhou City are saying that Tao Fan is going to go up, saying that he will be the deputy governor.It is said that the industry in the province is not doing well, and Tao Fan has experience in catching private companies in Xizhou, so he wants him to take charge of the industry. Everyone asked Guan Yinda, would Secretary Tao really leave?Guan Yinda just smiled, noncommittal.It is not the first time that Tao Fan is going to go up.This time it was true.Guan Yinda accompanied Tao Fan to the Provincial Party Committee not long ago.The secretary of the provincial party committee was talking with Tao Fan in the office, and Guan Yinda was sitting with the secretary.The secretary usually doesn't care much about people, but this time he was very warm to him.In fact, at the end of each year, Guan Yinda would go to the provincial capital to visit the leaders of the provincial party committee on behalf of Secretary Tao, and send some souvenirs to their drivers and secretaries.But the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, no matter how you give gifts, he will always keep a straight face.This time he was smiling, poured tea and called Guan Yinda brother.Guan Yinda felt strange, thinking that the rumors he heard a few days earlier might be true.Sure enough, the secretary said, "Brother Guan, you can also be transferred here with Secretary Tao." Guan Yinda just laughed and mumbled a few words.

Guan Yinda went to give gifts every year, and slowly saw some tricks.He found out that the secretaries of other prefectural and municipal party committees personally brought people to knock on the door, but in Xizhou, the leaders of the prefectural party committee and Guan Yinda went to give gifts.The gifts are only Xizhou local products.No wonder the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee was not interested at all.Guan Yinda thought that it would be rare for Secretary Tao to make a difference.One year, when Guan Yinda went to give gifts, he saw Zhang Zhaolin's car shuttle around the provincial party committee compound.It turned out that Zhang Zhaolin had to visit the pier in the province every year during the organizational work meeting.The meetings in the province are scheduled to be held at the beginning and end of the year, which is a good time for everyone to connect with each other.In ancient times, the winter tribute was called charcoal tribute, and the summer tribute was called ice tribute.Nowadays, there are not only charcoal tributes and ice tributes, but also disease tributes, happy tributes, mourning tributes, and so on.Tao Fan didn't pay tribute at any time, even if he sent someone to give away souvenirs at the end of the year, it was a last resort.This has been the practice of Xizhou for many years, and Tao Fan is not good at it.But that's long gone.

What Guan Yinda was most afraid of was going to the province to pay tribute at the end of the year.I don't know how many calls to make, how many people to ask, how many relationships to entrust, and sometimes I don't know how long to wait when I hide outside people's buildings.It's really not something people do.How could someone like Tao Fan be so wronged? This time Tao Fan actually wanted to go up, which was beyond Guan Yinda's expectation.But Tao Fan acted as if nothing happened, and took Guan Yinda to Xizhou in silence.It takes about a year or so for the matter of employing people to go from rumors to when the dust settles.Empty talk is not counted, only words in black and white are counted.The middle is full of variables, and everything may come to naught overnight.Don't say that the duck on the plate will fly away. Even if you eat the duck in your mouth, if someone asks you to spit it out, you dare not swallow it.Along the way, Tao Fan didn't speak much, just closed his eyes and fell asleep.Guan Yinda knew that Tao Fan was not asleep, but he couldn't speak, so he could only look at the scenery lazily.

The news had already spread in Xizhou.Ever since Tao Fan went to the provincial capital, his promotion has become a hot topic in Xizhou.Few people dared to mention this matter in front of Tao Fan, but the number of people who reported to him became more and more frequent.Tao Fan couldn't see any changes. He walked through the prefectural committee compound, still pacing steadily, with deep and distant eyes.When people met him, they would just nod their heads from a distance, and they didn't dare to come up to shake hands casually.If Tao Fan thinks it is necessary, he will take the initiative to shake hands with you.Otherwise, if you stretch out your hand, he will either pretend not to see it, or just raise his hand to touch you and let it go.

Zhang Zhaolin's back hair is getting smoother and smoother.Some people actually recognized his reputation from his hairstyle and said that he would take over as the secretary of the prefectural party committee.Some old cadres are free, so they pay attention to whose house has more people at night.They found that as soon as it got dark recently, more people went to Zhang Zhaolin's house than during the Spring Festival.This sign in turn confirmed that Tao Fan was really going to leave. People always thought that Tao Fan would leave soon, but nothing happened for a long time.It wasn't until the eve of the provincial people's meeting at the end of the year that people suddenly discovered that the fact that Tao Fan's promotion was actually a long time ago.The candidate for vice-governor determined by the province is the secretary of the prefectural party committee in other regions.

Xizhou City is buzzing again.However, Guan Yinda couldn't hear the harsh comments.Someone talked about this to Guan Yinda, and they looked very sympathetic: "Secretary Tao is too refined, and he doesn't want to go up and give gifts." Guan Yinda said, "Secretary Tao forbids everyone to talk nonsense about this. He said that in the organization There is a reason for arranging cadres. If you follow your own wishes, everyone wants to be a high-ranking official." Tao Fan didn't say anything.Guan Yinda couldn't see any emotion in him, but saw that he was fond of writing wild grass lately.Guan Yinda went to pick him up early every morning, and saw that his papers were always full of paper and full of wind and rain. After a few days, Tao Fan began to write the dignified and calm Wei stele again.Guan Yinda knew that Tao Fan was calmer.Guan Yinda has been with Tao Fan for a long time, so he naturally developed feelings; and because he likes Tao Tao, Tao Fan is like his father in his heart.Guan Yinda became more careful in front of Tao Fan, just wanting to make Tao Fan feel better.He has nothing to do, and he has to go to Tao Fan's house after dinner.Tao Fan sometimes chatted with him, and sometimes stayed alone in the study.If Tao Fan was not free, Guan Yinda would chat with Aunt Lin, or help tidy up the courtyard.There are some flowers and trees planted in the courtyard, which need to be watered, fertilized, and pruned. After being quiet for a few days, someone suddenly heard that something might happen to Tao Fan.Guan Yinda didn't hear about it much later, but the outside world had already said it well.It is said that the relationship between Tao Fan and Shu Peide is not clean.Everyone knows that Tao Fan never receives guests at home, but Shu Peide's visit to his house is like visiting relatives. Guan Yinda couldn't tell Tao Fan about it, he was just in a hurry.He believed Tao Fan and knew it was a rumor.But letting the rumors spread, I'm afraid it will affect Tao Fan's prestige. There was a letter from the masses stating that Comrade Tao Fan had personally signed it, and put an emphasis on the word "closed".Guan Yinda sent the letter to Tao Fan.Tao Fan looked at the envelope and said, "Whether you open it personally or not, you should read it first." Guan Yinda opened it, his mind was buzzing.This is an anonymous letter signed by "Old Comrade", criticizing Tao Fan for corruption and accepting bribes, which makes the veteran cadres who trusted him in the past feel sad.The letter said that he had been the secretary of the local party committee for several years, and his achievements were obvious to all, but he was too selfish and unclean, and he would eventually become a sinner in history.The wording is harsh, and it is said to be a criticism, but it is actually a curse. Guan Yinda didn't want to hand over the letter to Tao Fan, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.But Tao Fan saw that he didn't reply for a long time, so he ran to him and asked him: "Xiao Guan, what is the important thing in that letter?" "Nonsense!" Guan Yinda handed the letter to Tao Fan, and followed him to the office. After reading the letter, Tao Fan said with a smile, "Do you believe it?" Guan Yinda said, "No one believes it." Tao Fan said: "It means that someone has started to make a name for themselves. Let them do it. Shu Peide gave me an inkstone, I like it very much. Even if someone from above comes to investigate, I will report the truth, but I will not return it. Even if it is a cultural relic , I don’t think it’s worth a few thousand dollars.” Guan Yinda said: "Secretary Tao, if you don't ask, I don't want to show you this letter at all. You don't deserve to read this kind of letter." Tao Fan laughed and said, "Xiaoguan, you are getting better at being a secretary. Someday I will be sold by you, and I will help you count the money." Guan Yinda was embarrassed, and said: "You have enough things to do, how can you bother with them? However, this veteran cadre may not have any malicious intentions, but just became angry after hearing the rumors outside. I suggest that you don't care about these things. .” Tao Fan sighed: "I don't care about it. The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. It's a pity that before the truth is revealed, it will hurt the feelings of some old comrades. I can't care about it." This matter has been rumored in Xizhou for a few days, but after all, there is no buzz.People gradually lose interest and are too lazy to worry about it.
