Executive Vice Mayor Chu Liang said seriously: "Mayor Hou should not be too optimistic. The country's macro-control has started in December last year. Resource-based cities like Maoyun have suffered a great impact. It would be great if this year's indicators can barely maintain the same level as last year."

Hou Weidong knew that Chu Liang said was all the truth.

Since the 1980s, the country has entered a period of rapid development. Due to the deep influence of the planned economy, governments at all levels, including the central government, cannot grasp the market economy well, and have been in the exploration of "feeling the stones across the river". In the past twenty years, many macro-controls have occurred.

The reasons for several macro-controls are extremely similar: first, the rapid economic development, and all provinces and regions want to take projects, increase investment, resulting in a large number of duplicate construction, leading to economic overheating; second, the economic overheating causes scarcity of minerals, energy and other resources, and there will be competition for any shortage, which is beneficial to resource-based cities like Maoyun; third, the central government regulates and redistributes through various means to suppress economic overheating.

"As soon as you let go, you will be chaotic, you will be chaotic, you will be chaotic, you will be dying" is an incisive summary of economic regulation in the past twenty years.

We often hear words such as "adjustment, tightening, and avoid duplicate construction" from television, radio, and newspapers. For most people, they do not need to face these words, but they are just treated as a life background. For Hou Weidong, Chu Liang and others, macro-control is not a joke, and will affect the development of a region.

A meeting was held today to study how to formulate goals and tasks that can be completed and passed in the context of macro-control.

Hou Weidong and Chu Liang walked forward side by side, discussing while walking.

Hou Weidong said bluntly: "This year, the Maoyun Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are all new teams. In the past few years, various indicators have been rising, but this year it suddenly brakes. It is difficult to explain in the province, and it is difficult to explain in front of the people's representatives during the Municipal People's Congress."

Chu Liang's face, which had been tightly tied, showed a bitter smile and said, "The previous term was lucky, and it happened to be a period of rapid economic expansion. The mining companies had good benefits and paid more taxes. This year, the new team just started and encountered macro-control. Trouble."

"The complaints need to be made, but things have to be done. This year we have to find ways to maintain at least all indicators at the original speed, especially the management assessment, which must be guaranteed to sit in the second area." Hou Weidong also felt that the old leader Zhu Yan was surprisingly lucky. During his tenure at Maoyun, the domestic economic situation happened to be very good, and the demand for resources was like a bottomless pit. As soon as he was transferred, the country began macro-control.

Chu Liang walked to the door of the conference room and did not rush into the door, saying, "Mayor Hou's idea is correct. Put pressure on various departments and increase burdens. Maybe the situation in the country will be better next year."

Hou Weidong also stopped at the door and said, "Don't rely on the hope that the situation will improve next year. You have to find a way to make a fuss about real estate. To be honest, the land transfer fee in Maoyun is similar to that in Xicheng District, Shazhou. There is still a lot of potential, so you can dig it well."

Chu Liang said with a deep grudge: "The municipal party committee and government of the upper level have also used this idea, but later it was left unresolved. Maoyun City is innately in a bad environment. There are mountains on the east, southwest and south, so it can only develop towards the north. The north area happens to be the old mining area, a sewage river, an abandoned garbage disposal site, and a crematorium next to it. It cannot be developed anyway. If you want to do real estate in the old city, the first problem is demolition. Every demolition is a hot topic. The government is scolded so hard that it can't stand up straight, so it's better not to do it."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "Old Chu is too pessimistic. There is still something to write about in real estate. Let's discuss it carefully after the meeting."

The mayor and the executive vice mayor walked into the conference room together, and the conference room immediately became quiet. The heads of various departments opened their notebooks and twisted their pens or signature pens, and the atmosphere of the conference was successfully created.

Hou Weidong picked up the two documents on the table and said, "First, Mr. Sun organized the study of the two documents, and everyone will have a basic judgment on the current policies and the situation facing Maoyun."

Secretary-General Sun is a fat man with a white round face, gentle and slow speech. He took the document and cleared his throat and said, "My comrades and I were originally acquainted. One is a document from last year, document No. 103 issued by the General Office of the State Council on December 103, "Notice of the General Office of the State Council forwarding the Several Opinions of the Development and Reform Commission and other Departments on Stop Blind Investment in the Steel Electrolytic Aluminum Cement Industry", a document just issued by the State Council, "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Carrying out Special Inspections on Implementing the Spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference."

Both documents directly affected Maoyun's economy. Comrades from all departments participating in the meeting focused their energy and listened carefully to Sun's study of the documents.

After Sun Mi finished reading the document, Hou Weidong said: "Everyone heard it very clearly. The State Council clearly requires the cleanup and inspection of the three major industries of steel, electrolytic aluminum, and cement. The State Council will organize personnel from the Audit Office, Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the People's Bank of China and other departments to organize the first supervision team to go to various places for inspection. The focus is on entering the three major industries and blindly investing in private enterprises. Before the central inspection, the province will come to inspect in advance, and everyone should pay great attention. The municipal government has issued a document. Each department will conduct self-inspection first when going home. The most prominent thing in our city is the cement industry. Currently, there are cement factories in one district and four counties, which have repeated investments, small scale, weak technology, and heavy pollution."

He paused and said, "I won't talk about this matter today, focus on the research of the goals and tasks. Learning these two documents means to recognize the severe situation facing Maoyun, not be blindly optimistic, and at the same time, we must muster up the courage, build confidence, and strive to maintain the rapid development of Maoyun."

The meeting lasted for half a day, and at the end, it was almost one o'clock noon.

Hou Weidong returned to the office and arranged for Yan Chunping, "You go to the municipal party committee to ask for a mutton soup pot, and Mayor Chu and I will make some mutton."

The small guesthouse of the Municipal Party Committee mainly serves the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. There are young people in it. The dishes do not pursue high-end dishes and mainly use home-cooked dishes. The biggest feature is that they are clean and hygienic and have good privacy. Frequently eating in restaurants outside can easily cause adverse effects. As millions of city leaders, they really don’t care about the enjoyment of their mouths. Some people think that the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government always want to eat good food, but in fact they don’t understand the life and mentality of the actual department-level leaders, and use their own ideas to set up the ideas of the actual department-level leaders.

There was a joke that specifically talked about this mentality: In ancient times, there were three farmers who had to rest and chat while working. They lay on the grass and looked at the white clouds. One said, "How great would it be if we could become emperors." One of them also said, "Yes, I don't know what kind of life the emperor lives." The other said, "Hi, do you still need to ask? The emperor must have enough white flour steamed buns every day, and he used a golden hoe to hoe the ground!"

Yan Chunping accompanied Hou Weidong to Xiaozhao. After ordering all the dishes, he went to the hall to stir-fry green pepper shredded pork and asked for a crusty egg and cucumber soup. While eating, he was watching the TV in the hall.

Hou Weidong and Chu Liang sat face to face, pouring two taels of Maotai each. Hou Weidong had a great alcohol tolerance, and Chu Liang had a good alcohol tolerance. The two of them drank two taels of wine, so outsiders would never see it. After two glasses, Chu Liang first raised the topic and said: "I just heard Mayor Hou talk about real estate. It seems that you want to do articles on land finance."

Hou Weidong did not deny it, nodded, and said, "The municipal government has long hands and short sleeves, and is full of money everywhere, and is stretched to find a way. Every time, there are people who are typical of macro-control. In the past, there are many years and years of age. Zheng Lefen and others have all become typical of macro-control. We must strictly treat the central decision-making and not be the typical. However, there is no prohibited industry in the central government, so we can boldly grasp it. Many scholars are criticizing land finance. In fact, land finance is not a disaster. The central government has strong finances, weak local finances, and local governments have to do things. They bear great responsibilities. How to do it if they don't think of ways. Taking it from the people and using it for the people is a means of regulation and a form of redistribution."

Chu Liang said: "I agree with this view, but Maoyun's land finance is not easy to do."

"I have an idea to communicate with you." Hou Weidong joked: "It is of great significance to boil this hot pot today, and it will determine Maoyun's financial resources in the years today."
