Chapter 673 Dilemma (Part 2)
January Chapter 9!
………………………………………………………
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, May comes. Life is like the water of the Yangtze River, always rolling eastward, not shifting by human will.
After two months of consultation, Shazhou University has confirmed that it will be relocated to the Southern New District, which will provide Shazhou University with 1,000 mu of land, with a land of 60,000 yuan per mu.
Guo Lan was officially transferred to Shazhou University, served as the Minister of Organization, and served as the deputy leader of the Shazhou University Relocation Leading Group. When she returned to school, she did not want to engage in administrative work, but if she wanted to teach at Shazhou University, she had to have a master's degree. Therefore, while actually presided over the work of the deputy leader of the preparation group, she began to prepare for the graduate exam.
The situation in the silk threading factory is not optimistic, the new production line is still being debugged, the factory's efficiency has declined significantly in two months, and the original shortage of cash flow quickly turned into inventory and payment receivable. Hou Weidong's deputy mayor career was facing a new dilemma from the beginning.
"Let the difficulties go to the devil." After a period of running-in, Hou Weidong accumulated strong fighting spirit. He decided to take the initiative and stop waiting and watching.
"Secretary Zhu, I am Hou Weidong, I want to report to you if you have something." After nearly half a year of running-in, Hou Weidong and Zhu Minsheng gradually became more and more contacted, and their mutual trust increased.
"Come here at 10 o'clock." Zhu Minsheng and Huang Ziti had no bad relationship or closeness. Hou Weidong was willing to come and report on his work, which was something he was willing to see.
At ten o'clock, Hou Weidong arrived at Zhu Minsheng's office on time.
"Secretary Zhu, it is difficult to operate the silk threading factory."
“Is the production line stable?”
"Zhao Dalei has a tumor and needs to undergo surgery in Shanghai. Yang Bai has never been exposed to this production line before, and the production line has not stabilized. The production of Shuanggong Silk was affected. Moreover, the sales company that we cooperated with before refused to ask for the factory products due to quality reasons, and the inventory was full of the warehouse. It was unsustainable."
Zhu Minsheng looked at Hou Weidong with a cold face and said to himself: "Hou Weidong did not agree to the change of generals at the time. Now he has picked up the big words and said," he said: "Mayor Hou, it is not enough to just raise difficulties. You are the deputy mayor in charge and need to propose a solution."
Hou Weidong completely understood Zhu Minsheng's habits at this time. Zhu Minsheng was a cold-faced man on the surface, but in fact he was unstable and easily induced. He said, "I think municipal state-owned enterprises can no longer be held by the government, and should be pushed to the market. You mentioned Chen Guang's matter. I think Shazhou should be fully reorganized like Heze, so that government and enterprises can be truly separated. Enterprises focus on production and the government do their jobs."
"Restructuring is easy to say. But if you involve so many workers, it is a great event if you are not careful."
Hou Weidong said in a firm tone: "If the system does not change, the municipal enterprises will eventually be dead and drag the government to cross the line. The workers will eventually ask the government to beg for food. My idea is to gradually spread from point to noodles. The first point is the silk threading factory facing many difficulties."
Zhu Minsheng still had a cold face. After a while, he said, "You are very sure about the silk threading factory."
Hou Weidong did not give a positive answer, but said strategically: "Governor Zhou intends to carry out pilot reform work in the province. Shazhou City can do some work. As long as it is included in the provincial government's pilot, there will be many guarantee measures."
Zhu Minsheng pondered for a while and said, "Have you talked about this with Mayor Huang?"
“Not yet.”
Zhu Minsheng's expression eased slightly and said, "You have to follow the procedures and don't break the rules."
After he came to Shazhou, his first speech was to emphasize the centralization of people's livelihood. Today, he did not talk about people's livelihood and concentration, but used the word "rules". Hou Weidong made an assessment in his heart: "It seems that Zhu and Huang are also separated, which is a good thing for me."
After finding out Zhu Minsheng's attitude, Hou Weidong felt at ease. As soon as he returned to the office, he had not sat down yet, the phone rang.
"Does there any relevant documents in the province?"
Zhu Minsheng's question was stupid. Hou Weidong was stunned for three seconds and understood Zhu Minsheng's meaning, saying: "At present, the news about the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the province is scattered in various speech materials, and there are no clear and rigid requirements. The province's pilot project is also internal news, not a formal document."
Zhu Minsheng pondered: "Without formal documents, let's slow down the reform."
"It's too hard to work under such a leader. He even wants to achieve political achievements, but is afraid of taking responsibility." Hou Weidong hung up the phone and complained secretly, but Zhu Minsheng's words also reminded him. He thought for a while, took out Zhou Changquan's documents, and came to Zhu Minsheng's office again.
Zhao Chengyi met Hou Weidong in the aisle and thought to himself: "Hou Weidong's relationship with Secretary Zhu is getting closer now. He is really skilled. I want to learn from him." He said: "Secretary Zhu is waiting for me."
Zhu Minsheng still had a cold face and said, "What else is there?"
After reading Zhou Changquan's documents and listening to Hou Weidong's court laws, Zhu Minsheng said: "You go and ask Zhou Changquan for instructions first. If the provincial government can have a clear spirit, I support your idea. There is only a requirement, that is, to solve the benefits of state-owned enterprises, we must also take into account social benefits."
After calling Chu Xiuhong, Hou Weidong headed straight to Lingxi. When the provincial government meeting ended, Chu Xiuhong accompanied him, and the two of them were talking none of them.
"After Brother Da Zhou returned to China, he established a Lingxi Entertainment Company. This company is very complicated, with online music and a performance."
Hou Weidong's mind saw Zhou Changquan and Liu Jie singing, and he thought to himself: "Governor Zhou and President Liu have a good relationship. Dazhou wants to open an entertainment company, but I am afraid that Governor Zhou will not agree."
"Ha, I didn't expect Dazhou to open an entertainment company. I remember that he studied engineering and had nothing to do with the entertainment industry. Governor Zhou would probably not agree. He always hoped that Dazhou would engage in professional work."
Chu Xiuhong said: "Mayor Weidong knows Governor Zhou so much. For this matter, Dazhou even quarreled with Governor Zhou."
"The Great Zhou is too impulsive, why bother quarrel with the old man? As long as you register a company and cook the raw rice, Governor Zhou still needs to support you."
Chu Xiuhong suddenly showed admiration and said, "Mayor Weidong is so bad. Dazhou's company has been established. Even though Governor Zhou is angry, he can only let him."
The two were talking. When they heard Zhou Changquan's voice, Hou Weidong quickly met him.
Zhou Changquan was in a straight suit and was very energetic. When he saw Hou Weidong, he said happily: "You hurried to the provincial capital. What's the important thing?"
Hou Weidong said in his heart: "It's true that it's one time and another. Just at this time last year, Governor Zhou thought that his political life was about to end, so he had the elegance of idle clouds and wild cranes. At this time, political life suddenly extended, and he suddenly rejuvenated his political youth, and he was at least five years younger."
After entering the office, Hou Weidong said straight to the point: "Governor Zhou, I'm here to ask for policies."
"What policy do you want?"
Hou Weidong took out Zhou Changquan's speech at the Provincial Industrial Conference from his handbag and turned to page 6. He said: "Governor Zhou, your speech at the Provincial Industrial Conference is so exciting and has strong guiding significance. I organized relevant departments to study it three times together, and the more I learn it, the more interesting it becomes."
Zhou Changquan laughed and said, "I remember you didn't flatter you before. When you became the deputy mayor, your flattery skills are bullish."
Hou Weidong touched his nose and said, "This is not flattery. It is a realistic approach. According to the spirit of Governor Zhou's speech, I, on behalf of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, take the initiative to take over the pilot work of enterprise reform in the province."
"Are you representing an individual or a municipal party committee and government?"
"Before I came, I discussed this issue with Secretary Zhu Minsheng, and he supported the pilot work."
"Does Huang Ziti support this matter?"
"In order to solve the benefits of state-owned enterprises, Mayor Huang has a lot of white hair."
Zhou Changquan's eyes suddenly became sharp and his expression became serious, and he said, "I heard some statements that your relationship with Huang Ziti is not very harmonious. I remember you cooperated well, why is this happening?"
Hou Weidong avoided the important and said, "There is no problem with my relationship with Mayor Huang. He is the top leader and I am the deputy. I will cooperate with his work."
"Don't be careless with me. I won't say much. You have to find a balance between the municipal party secretary and the mayor. I believe you have enough wisdom and ability to handle this matter well." Zhou Changquan attaches great importance to Hou Weidong and said this with great sincerity.
"I will pay attention." In Hou Weidong's mind, Zhu Minsheng had obvious shortcomings, but his shortcomings were acceptable. As the mayor, Huang Ziti's shortcomings were fatal flaws.
Zhou Changquan saw that Hou Weidong looked perfunctory. He did not say this in depth, and said, "As for the reform pilot, the provincial party committee and government are still studying it, and I will consider it at that time."
Speaking of this, he called Chu Xiuhong over and said, "I have a reception task, don't follow him and have a meal with Wei Dong."
Hou Weidong knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but this time he visited Zhou Changquan but failed to achieve his expected goal, which made him a little disappointed. After shook hands with Zhou Changquan and said goodbye, he followed Chu Xiuhong out of the provincial government building.
After leaving the building, there is a wide road and a large area of green lawn. This is the municipal government square built in 2001. Many citizens are relaxing here. Compared with the previous provincial government, the surrounding environment of the renovated provincial government seems more harmonious.
Hou Weidong was not in the square and said intimately: "Who else can promote this except Governor Zhou? I don't know what Zhao Dong's attitude is. If Zhao Dong can support him, Zhu Minsheng will firmly be determined to reform."
However, Zhao Dong was the secretary of the provincial party committee after all, and Hou Weidong had not yet established a personal relationship with him. It was inappropriate to tell him about this matter after all, and he was a little hesitant.
Chu Xiuhong realized that Hou Weidong was a little distracted and said, "Brother Weidong, I have a question. The silk spinning factory is a hornet's nest. Others avoid it. Why do you have to open the hornet's nest?"
Hou Weidong knew the consequences of the people around him, so he deliberately opened his heart in front of Chu Xiuhong and said sincerely: "Since it is a hornet's nest, it will be opened sooner or later. I want to use this as the starting point to play the chess game of state-owned reform. The ancients said that if you serve as an official position and benefit the people, since I have become the deputy mayor, I have to perform my duties conscientiously. This is one of them."
"Secondly, from an objective perspective, Shazhou municipal enterprises suffered large losses in 2001, and now they do not actively come up with solutions. Judging from what I understand, the situation will get worse and worse in the future. I always insist that it is better to do it early than to do it later. This is responsible to the municipal party committee and government, and to the people of the city."
When Chu Xiuhong saw Hou Weidong's unscrupulous attitude, he reminded: "State-owned enterprises are too complicated, may you be criticized?"
"It doesn't matter. If it succeeds, I will have a bloody path. If it fails, at least I have summarized the experience and lessons. I will feel regretful to see the crisis of municipal enterprises."
Hou Weidong had another more hidden reason not to say: "If the municipal enterprise reform is successful, it will lay a firm foundation for his career."
When he arrived at the restaurant, Chu Xiuhong called again.
After a while, a red car parked at the entrance of the restaurant. A tall and handsome young man walked into the restaurant, followed by a tall woman.
Hou Weidong's eyes suddenly became straight: the person who arrived with the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually Yan Zi.
