Volume 8, Chapter 57, Seeing the picture
The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit, and being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. These ancient words have been deeply rooted in the hearts of many officials and cadres. No matter how strict or severe the party discipline and national laws are, they still find it difficult to control their inner greed.
Under the subtle influence of this kind of culture, these ordinary cadres have developed a mentality of equalizing the interests of plucking the geese, which has also become a chronic disease of many local government departments in the inland areas.
"It seems that Wanzhou has not built the one-stop service center you mentioned?" Lu Zongping asked.
"I didn't get started. I proposed this concept in Wanzhou Development Zone, but it involved many departments, basically covering all government departments' authority agencies, especially power, tap water, natural gas, industry and commerce, taxation, land, construction, finance, all units with root-pull hairs thicker than waists. Who would easily transfer these powers?"
Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "The final result was a pool of waves splashing, and then calming again. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the Wanzhou Development Zone's follow-up investment promotion, and everyone followed up several key projects by one. All the projects were personally helped by cadres of the Development Zone Management Committee. However, after more development zone enterprises and more projects, they had to choose. However, the company's later services did not have the energy to follow up. Therefore, this follow-up method is only suitable for some special large-scale projects, and the main business still needs to solve problems through this one-stop service center, which is the best strategy."
"Then the departments and units you mentioned must enter a one-stop service center. How can we solve the legality and rationality of their existence from a legal basis?" Lu Zongping asked directly.
This is a key core issue. What is the legal basis? Is it considered depriving the administrative approval authority of the relevant functional departments? If this problem cannot be solved, everything will be empty talk.
"Well, this is the key to the problem, so we have considered that this one-stop service center is not a newly established departmental unit, but a platform that allows these departments and units to draw out a few cadres with outstanding business familiarity and ability to enter the center to engage in their original approval work, so that the approval process can be transferred in this center as much as possible in the shortest time, so that those who come to do business can solve all problems here without going out." Sha Zhengyang explained patiently.
"Well, the plan you mentioned is indeed very efficient, and it does not require the company and project owners to waste too much energy and time in their work. The problem is that as far as I know, many departments still have many prerequisites when implementing administrative approvals, and they also need several internal institutions to conduct joint approvals. This is probably a problem,..."
Lu Zongping was not a cadre who knew nothing about administrative affairs, but he hit the nail on the head.
"Yes, this is also a problem. It is even a problem for many administrative departments. However, I have specifically looked for the internal approval process of some administrative departments to understand, and combined with the procedures of the industrial and commercial business license and tax registration certificate that an enterprise wants to go to, and I think the approval settings of many departments can actually be streamlined and merged. It turns out that many documents were left behind in the 1980s, which have long been out of place and even hindered economic development. However, no one has ever studied and thought about whether they are still adapting to the current development situation and still follow this procedure step by step, so it has become less efficient and affects the investment environment...."
Sha Zhengyang was also prepared.
Han City is a sub-provincial city and to a certain extent, it has considerable autonomy. In particular, the municipal people's congress can designate local regulations. As mayor, Lu Zongping is very clear about this.
From this perspective, Sha Zhengyang thinks it can be done if some measures are taken to streamline and merge certain processes within the Han city.
As long as you can take this first step, Sha Zhengyang believes that it will inevitably cause a great effect. This effect will be transmitted upward and downward, and will live a good life. If it can touch the work of the province and even the central government in this regard, it will be worth his hard work to design it.
"Well, it makes sense." Sha Zhengyang's opinion was deeply in line with Lu Zongping's wishes.
Streamlining some approval procedures can indeed greatly improve efficiency, and many policy requirements left over from the 1980s are now entering the 21st century, which is obviously out of place.
However, if it is a streamlining and merger, each department needs to conduct an internal review. However, if it is an internal review, I am afraid that no one is willing to give up the power in his hands, which has become a paradoxical cycle.
Seeing Lu Zongping frowning again, Sha Zhengyang also knew what the other party was thinking about.
"Mayor, I think we can start from two aspects, which ones need to be streamlined and cancelled, and which ones can be merged and integrated." Sha Zhengyang said leisurely.
"Oh, you said." Lu Zongping liked Sha Zhengyang's approach. He had already taken measures before considering any problems. Regardless of whether it was feasible or not, at least he had studied it carefully. Unlike some people who only asked questions and talked about difficulties and asked him about solutions to the problem, he could not tell the reason.
"On the one hand, it is definitely required that all administrative departments themselves organize all laws and regulations involving approval, and the leaders in charge take the lead, and they themselves study what they think can be cancelled and what they can merge. This is one path, and the other path is to conduct a survey by people from China Merchants Group, mainly for a survey of business owners and corporate management to understand the most difficult and difficult problems they find in the approval process, and then China Merchants Group will come up with an opinion to think that those can be cancelled and streamlined."
Sha Zhengyang's words made Lu Zongping shake his head slightly, "The difference between the two is probably the difference."
"Well, this is inevitable. Then, summarizing the results of the two and handing them over to the Legal Affairs Office of the Municipal Government for review. I believe it is more appropriate to judge from a legal perspective. Of course, I also know that it is definitely impossible to achieve the kind of results we want in one step, but I believe that the meaning of this good beginning is definitely not ordinary. Whether it is the province or even the central government, if we can receive information about our reform attempt, it should be enlightening."
These words made Lu Zongping excited. If the Han Municipal Government can really make a splash in this work, can the title of reform pioneers in the country be afforded?
This is so tempting, both for the Han city and for Lu Zongping himself.
Why is Shenzhen a national star of reform and opening up?
I'm afraid it's not entirely due to economic development. There are also many reasons why they can boldly get to the forefront of mechanism reform.
Of course, they are endorsed by the central government, but why can’t Han City take this risk?
This sentence is too vulgar to seek wealth and honor in danger, but it is obviously not possible to do big things without a little adventurous spirit.
In the current political climate, the central government has always been tolerant and encouraged to acts of daring to reform and breakthroughs, which is also the confidence that Lu Zongping has this courage.
"Very good, Zhengyang, your suggestion is very well conceived, and I think it is of great significance."
Lu Zongping stroked his jaw, and he was already moved and even made up his mind. This matter was even more meaningful than recruiting several major projects to implement. Similarly, if it was really successful, it would definitely play a complete role in the investment promotion environment of Han City.
Simplifying the procedures and implementing the entire enterprise as a one-stop service center, transparency and openness can greatly eliminate the need for money. At the same time, supervision is more direct and objective, which can greatly improve efficiency and the image of the government clean, which will have a very good effect on improving the impression of foreign investors.
Looking at Sha Zhengyang's seemingly young face, because he was not shaved, and there was a stubble on his cheeks and jaws, and he seemed to have become much more mature and deep. Lu Zongping couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The provincial party committee is indeed very good at using this person, and Mao Xiangdongguan people are indeed not bad at judging people.
"Zhengyang, if such a one-stop service center can really be started as we predict, I think the investment promotion environment in Handu will have a qualitative leap, and you should have some specific plans for investment promotion? Last time you mentioned UT Starkon's communication equipment manufacturing base project, do you intend to strive for? And Huawei's manufacturing base, you also want to strive for one inland to build one?"
Lu Zongping asked in a pondering voice: "Can the current structure of the High-tech Zone afford it?"
Sha Zhengyang had not yet figured out Lu Zongping's intentions and replied cautiously: "I am still negotiating with the Construction Committee. The construction area in the north should be launched in the shortest time. There should be no big problem in a short time, but there may be some problems in the later stage. I am also planning to launch the original plan in advance at the next executive meeting, hoping that the city can study and pass it as soon as possible."
"That's too slow, time is definitely too late. There is a process for adjusting administrative divisions. This is not something the province can easily decide. It also needs to be reported to the State Council." Lu Zongping shook his head, "The early stage is just a rough plan, and it is only now that we are preparing. If there is too late, even the Han Dynasty cannot wait for this."
Sha Zhengyang became alert and always felt that Lu Zongping seemed to be plotting against him. He glanced at Lu Zongping, "Mayor, what do you mean..."
"Zhengyang, what do you think about the current situation of the Economic and Technological Development Zone?" Lu Zongping picked up the teacup, took a sip calmly, and then asked with a leisurely smile.
The picture is revealed.
