Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 790
"Wait!" Liu Geng, head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, frowned when he heard this, raised his hand to interrupt Wang Xuecheng, and said, "As far as I know, this Duan Yun is the manager of our first private electronics factory in Daxing, right?" ?According to the regulations, he should not be eligible to participate in the selection of the city's model workers."

"That's right, Duan Yun and his electronics factory's advertisements have already hit CCTV. It is a completely private enterprise. As the manager of this electronics factory, how can Duan Yun participate in the selection of the city's model workers?" Minister Yin Changchun said.

Different from other model worker candidates, Duan Yun is so famous that he is almost a household name in Daxing City. As early as when he was a technician at the Red Star Gear General Factory, he had already appeared on the local radio and television stations. It was listed in the newspaper as an internal reference, so whether it is ordinary citizens or the leaders of the municipal party committee, they have all heard about Duan Yun.

Moreover, when Duan Yun first established Daxing Electronics Factory, it once caused a sensation in the city government. Although the matter was finally decided by the deputy mayor, Yu Shulan's grandfather, Kong Guoqiang, it still caused a stir within the city government. Not a small difference.

At this time, Kong Guoqiang was sitting next to the mayor Guo Ze, but he took two sips of tea from time to time and kept silent.

In the current country, whether it is the provincial government or the municipal government, there are still many old-fashioned conservatism. In their view, privately owned factories are capitalists and they are taking the road of capitalism.

"Yeah, I also think this matter is different. Comrade Duan Yun did make some achievements in the Red Star Gear Factory before, but he is now engaged in private business operations. In terms of nature, he can no longer represent the advanced work of the working class. the one."

"That's right! I think so too."

The secretary general of the municipal party committee and the deputy secretary general next to him refuted Duan Yun's nomination.

"That electronics factory doesn't seem to be registered in the name of Duan Yu, does it? I heard that it seems to be registered in his mother's name." Liu Changqing, a senior city official, frowned slightly.

"That's not the same thing. What Duan Yun did is evading the rules and engaging in speculation, which is even worse!"

"Yeah, we are a socialist country, how can such a capitalist be elected as a model worker, this is a ridiculous thing in itself."

Two more city committee members raised objections.

"This matter should be divided into two parts. First, Tianyin Electronics Factory was not registered and established by Duan Yun himself. Although it has actual control, he did not violate the organizational regulations. The electronics factory has made a lot of money, but it has also contributed to our local employment, taxation, and related industries in Daxing. This is still worthy of recognition, so I think Comrade Duan Yun is qualified to participate in the selection of model workers in our city At this time, Zhang Tao, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, also expressed his attitude, and he obviously had a very positive impression of Duan Yun.

"The matter of Duan Yun's selection of model workers must be treated with caution. Duan Yun is currently well-known in our city. He is not an ordinary unit leader. In addition, the matter of Duan Yun's identity is also very sensitive. He is the manager of a state-owned enterprise. , and at the same time controls a private electronics factory, if he can be successfully elected as a model worker this time, I am afraid it will cause a lot of repercussions in the society, so I hope everyone can think about this issue more." Seeing that the meeting is always because of Duan Yun The question was divided into two factions. Mayor Guo Ze seemed a little embarrassed, so he reminded everyone.

"If you want me to say, I will directly eliminate Duan Yun's qualification as a model worker. Mayor Guo also said that Duan Yun's identity is really sensitive. Letting him be elected as a model worker will definitely cause a lot of social repercussions in our Daxing City, and even a negative impact. So instead of doing this, it is better to disqualify Duan Yun directly to avoid unnecessary incidents." Yin Changchun, director of the Publicity Department of the Municipal Party Committee, said.

Yin Changchun's meaning is obvious, that is, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Controversial candidates like this can be canceled directly, so as not to cause controversy and repercussions in society.

"Minister Yin, I think your suggestion is problematic..." At this time, Liu Changqing, a senior city official, frowned slightly, and then said: "We can't stop doing some things just because they are controversial in the society. The selection has always been the benchmark and example representing all walks of life in our city. From this point of view, the new gearbox product developed by Duan Yun's labor service company has won the National Gold Award, and won thousands of awards at the Canton Fair last year and this year. From this point of view, Comrade Duan Yun has not only done a good job, but also created history here in Daxing. Before that, Daxing City had not exported a single industrial product to foreign countries except coal, so we relied on This point, Comrade Duan Yun is not only eligible to participate in the selection of our city's model workers, but also qualified to be elected, this year's city's model workers!"

Secretary Liu Changqing set the tone for almost all meetings of the municipal party committee, and he was also a decisive figure who could make the final decision, so when he said this, several leaders of the municipal party committee immediately chose to remain silent.

"Secretary Liu, I also know that Comrade Duan Yun has made great contributions. Although he was able to obtain model workers mainly because of his work in the labor service company, the problem is that Comrade Duan Yun's identity is sensitive. Everyone in the city knows that he opened an electronics factory. If he is elected as a model worker, will other people think that our city government encourages the road of private capitalism? This is a very serious question..." Jiang Shangkun, the secretary general of the municipal party committee, obviously stubbornly said his opinion idea.

For those of them who have experienced a special era, the issue of political line has always been a very sensitive and important issue. Even though the policy of the higher level of the country has changed, for these old party members, the deep-rooted ideas still remain. It was hard to turn the corner right away.

"The country wants to realize the four modernizations and vigorously develop the economy. This has been written into the national policy. The country now allows the establishment of private enterprises, which in itself has explained a lot of problems." Liu Changqing paused, and then said: "Duan Yun's family opened The private enterprise is reasonable and legal, and has not violated any organizational discipline regulations, so this matter cannot disqualify Duan Yun from being a model worker. Since Duan Yun is qualified to be a model worker, I have to say one more thing. During the period, several times of technical transformations were successful and made great contributions to the factory. During the labor service company, with the newly developed automobile gearbox products, it became the first local product in our city to win the National Gold Medal. Having won export orders worth tens of millions of dollars, from these points alone, Duan Yun is fully qualified to be elected as the city's model worker this year!"

"Secretary Liu is right. We shouldn't just bury the credit of Comrade Duan Yun. He not only made great contributions to the Red Star Gear Factory, but also opened up an electronics factory to solve the employment problem of a large number of local people in Daxing. , created a lot of tax revenue, and as far as I know, it has also driven the economic benefits of the other three state-owned electronics factories in Daxing, so no matter how you look at it, Duan Yun has made a great contribution to our city , If his qualification as a model worker is revoked because of his sensitive identity and he is worried about causing negative reactions in the society, this in itself is an act of giving up food because of choking, and it is not advisable!" At this time, the deputy mayor Kong Guoqiang, who had been silent all the time, also suddenly spoke.

Seeing that the speeches of the secretary and the deputy mayor were well-founded, and at the same time expressing their support for Duan Yun's election as a municipal model worker this year, Jiang Shangkun, secretary general of the municipal party committee, had no choice but to remain silent even though he still had doubts.

"So...do you have any different opinions?" Mayor Guo Ze saw that no one was speaking in the conference room, looked around everyone, and then said: "Then everyone, let's raise your hands and agree that Comrade Duan Yun was elected as this year's municipal leader. Model workers, please raise your hands."

As soon as Mayor Guo Ze's words fell, Secretary Liu Changqing and Deputy Mayor Kong Guoqiang raised their hands at the same time, and then everyone around them also raised their hands after seeing this.

Jiang Shangkun, secretary-general of the municipal party committee, frowned slightly, hesitated to speak, and raised his hand after a while...
