Chapter 63: All sounds are quiet, and a single voice is heard
Wang Hai, member of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate, started speaking first as the pioneer. He held a cigarette between his fingers, took a deep breath, and then slapped it out. He raised his head and swept the audience, and said calmly: "Comrades, since no one speaks, I will say a few words first, just treat it as a throwing brick and a jade, which is my family's words. I believe everyone clearly sees this plan, saying that it is to let the county finance continue to increase its investment in Huangyun Cement Factory and Jiahe Can Factory.
But do you know? In recent years, how much investment has been in these two state-owned enterprises, and how much of the real benefits these two factories have brought? It is 3:1. Do you know what this means? That is to say, if you invest in three million, the return rate is only a pitiful one million!
One million, comrades, two such large-scale factories have not only not paid back to the county well, but have become burdens in the county. Now I don’t find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, but I just reinvest. In that case, the county finance will really not be able to bear it."
As Wang Hai's words sounded, the entire conference room suddenly fell into silence. None of the township secretaries and mayors sat below spoke, all shut their mouths. When the gods fought, they were terrible to affect themselves. Besides, this plan was formulated by Xie Wen himself. Now, Wang Hai, the executive deputy county magistrate of the county government, took the lead in firing the gun. Needless to say, everyone knows the meaning of it very well.
They know that if they don’t speak, there will always be someone talking.
Sure enough, when Wang Hai was lighting a cigarette again, Zheng Xuemei, member of the county party committee standing committee and director of the county party committee office, said, "Deputy County Magistrate Wang, I don't agree with what you said. What does it mean to be a burden in the county? I believe you should be very clear about how these two factories were established. Moreover, in the first year, the two factories paid 4 million in taxes, which greatly improved the county's financial dilemma.
Although they have developed a little slowly in the past two years, as two large state-owned factories in Xingtang County, I will never watch them close. We have to be responsible for the factory and the workers in the factory. We will continue to increase financial investment to ensure that the two factories are saved. So I agree with the proposal of the plan and continue to invest additionally."
At the beginning of the meeting, the smell of gunpowder was so strong that it was almost tit-for-tat. Everyone knew that as the executive deputy county magistrate, Wang Hai was a very competent deputy, Zhao Rui'an's person. Zheng Xuemei, as the only woman among the county party committee standing committee, held the position of director of the county party committee office, and naturally had the same relationship with Xie Wen.
The battle between the two means a showdown between the two first and second leaders of Xingtang County. If anyone can win, it means that the people behind it have more say.
Su Mu sat quietly, listening to the two of them continuing to debate, but his mind had already changed. To be honest, he was disdainful of the plan formulated by Xie Wen.
From the perspective of Su Mu's undergraduate major in economics, this plan is garbage. After reading it all, there is no advantage. The whole plan is Xie Wen's persistence in the previous ten-year plan, and this persistence is so stubborn.
For example, Huangyun Cement Factory and Jiahe Canning Factory, these two factories were state-owned enterprises established by Xie Wen after he came to power, but except for the first year of profit, he has never made any money in the remaining few years and has lost all of them. If it weren't for the annual allocation of funds from the county finance, the two factories would have long since fallen apart.
Of course, even now, there is no difference between two factories and dumping them. Workers can’t go to work, and going to go every day is just to waste time and waste money making in vain.
It is absolutely whimsical to not start from the business philosophy and simply rely on investment to save the two factories! The more you invest, the more you will be dragging down the county finances.
In this regard, Xie Wen is a successful person who likes to control everything, even if this control requires a terrible price.
Now all the members of the Xingtang County Party Committee Standing Committee are sitting here. Except for the county party secretary Xie Wen and the county magistrate Zhao Rui'an, the rest are Fang Jundao, the county party committee deputy secretary, Zhang Zhen, deputy secretary of the county party committee, Lin Zhonghe, secretary of the county discipline committee, Xu Guofu, secretary of the political and legal committee, Liang Zhonghe, director of the organization minister, Li Ya, executive deputy county magistrate Wang Hai, and Zheng Xuemei, political commissar of the People's Armed Forces Department.
Su Mu knew very well that among these people, there was no one else who really stood on Zhao Rui'an's side except for the Executive Deputy County Mayor Wang Haiwai. County Party Secretary Xie Wen held great power, otherwise it would not have been like this now. Looking at the tense scene in front of him, he still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
"Su Mu, look at it. County Magistrate Zhao will lose this battle!" Liang Changgui whispered.
"Old Secretary, sometimes even if you lose, you have to make a sound!" Su Mu said lightly.
"Yes!" Liang Changgui's eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Mu and nodded with a smile.
As a veteran who has been in the officialdom for so many years, Liang Changgui certainly knew what Su Mu wanted to say. In such an occasion, Zhao Rui'an must stand up and speak, otherwise a cowardly county government would not have any prestige. After all, the county government is in charge of the economy.
You are in charge of the economy but don’t talk. What does the superior leader think of you? Do you want to do it again?
Ahem!
Just as the atmosphere in the venue became more and more intense, Zhao Rui'an coughed twice, attracted everyone's eyes and said calmly: "Comrades, what I want to say is that the country now advocates emancipating the mind and looking at problems from a development perspective, which is very good! If the country does not reform, it will stagnate. As a part of the country, our county must uphold the courage to reform.
When it comes to solving the problems of the two factories, my opinion is to be more courageous and have a higher mindset. There is no need to always be conservative. In that case, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In the end, the one who suffers will be our government, and the one who suffers will be our people.
Of course, here, as the person in charge of the economic development of the county and as the head of a county, I admit that I have not done well enough in this regard, and there are still some mistakes in my work. I have to improve, liberate my mind, and make great strides."
After a slight pause, Zhao Rui'an swept the audience and looked on Su Mu, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Of course, after self-examination, I want to praise someone more, that is, the mayor of Heishan Town. Comrade Su Mu has done a better job of emancipating his mind and strides forward. A few days ago, I specially handed in a plan for the development of Heishan Town. I see that many suggestions in it are very good. If it can be implemented, it will definitely bring different changes to Heishan Town."
Swish, as Zhao Rui'an finished speaking, everyone in the conference room looked at Su Mu, wondering what kind of plan the young mayor had made.
The moment Su Mu heard Zhao Rui'an's words, his whole heart beat rapidly, his face remained calm, but he had already started to curse fiercely in his heart.
"Zhao Rui'an, Zhao Rui'an, what do you mean? If you can't beat Xie Wen, you will push me out and serve as a shield for you? Yes, that plan is my hard work, and I will definitely make it. But this does not mean that in such an occasion, I can tolerate you push me out to attract firepower. Don't you know that Xie Wen has an opinion on me?"
At this moment, Su Mu lost his previous confidence in Zhao Rui'an in his heart and sentenced him to death. Even if you give him a notice in advance, it will always be better than such a sudden attack.
In fact, Su Mu really didn't wrongly accuse Zhao Rui'an. He raised Su Mu in order to attack Xie Wen. Isn't Xie Wen awesome? But you have to know that Su Mu is the person of Li Xinghua's executive vice mayor. If you touch him, I don't believe you will have any good results.
As for Su Mu's plan, to be honest, Zhao Rui'an never thought that Su Mu could do it. If Heishan Town really developed so easily, why would it still be so poor and destitute now?
From this perspective, Zhao Rui'an's words now are what a politician should have.
Bang!
Just when Zhao Rui'an finished speaking, before Su Mu could speak, Xie Wen, who had been waiting for this opportunity, suddenly got angry. He suddenly threw the document in his hand on the table and shouted: "Comrade Ruian, who told you that the ten-year plan formulated by the county party committee is to follow conservatives and not liberate your mind? Who told you that investing in two factories is wrong? Do you dare to pat your chest and guarantee that the cement factory and canning factory after additional investment will not be able to resume operation and create profits? Do you dare?"
The entire conference room was silent!
After being questioned by Xie Wen like this, Zhao Rui'an didn't know how to refute it for a moment. Compared with Xie Wen, Zhao Rui'an's voice in Xingtang County is too small and weak. You can tell from the fact that no one dares to cough and keep absolute quiet.
Compared with Xie Wen, who has gradually ascended the throne of county party secretary from the bottom of Xingtang County, even as the county magistrate, Zhao Rui'an still lacks prestige even if he wins over and bribes a group of people.
"And why I haven't received the "Heishan Town Science and Technology Ecological Park Pilot Plan" you mentioned before? That's all! After all, this is the matter of your government. But what you said is that Su Mu is liberation of thought and strides forward, which is simply outrageous!
Comrade Ruian, have you read this plan carefully? It is full of nonsense. Heishan Town is full of resources everywhere. Why is Heishan Town still so poor for so many years and has no intention of becoming rich? Could it be that Su Mu is smarter than the mayors and town committee secretaries in the past Heishan Town?
Su Mu, your plan is a waste of money. Not to mention that you can’t recruit investors, even if you can recruit them, no one is willing to stay! So Comrade Su Mu, you’d better figure out what you plan like in the future. If this happens in the future, I have to doubt whether you, the mayor, are doing it properly? Can you bring Heishan Town well?
Compared with your so-called reform method that wastes people and loses money, Comrade Su Mu, you should study the ten-year plan formulated by the county party committee in An An. Sometimes young is a good thing, but sometimes young is also the most fatal flaw. Mayor Su Mu Su, do you understand what I said?"
After Xie Wen said this, the anger he had been holding on for so many days in his heart was a lot of venting. It was not that he didn't deal with you, but that he wanted to take action on such an occasion and sweep your face in front of everyone. I want to see what else you can say and what tricks you can do!
Do you really think you can compete with me by relying on Zhao Rui'an? It's a joke!
If Zhao Rui'an's words made Su Mu the focus, then Xie Wen's words will completely throw Su Mu into hell. Everyone present's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Of course, they were more despised. They even despised Su Mu, who dared to challenge Xie Wen. It's great now.
What a shame!
How shameless!
The quiet venue became solemn.
And in such a quiet and solemn atmosphere, Su Mu suddenly raised his hand, looked at Xie Wen's gaze, and said in a humble and arrogant manner: "I don't understand."
Three words, never stop until shocking!
Chapter completed!
