Chapter 40 Zhou Hongyou Meets with Tao Tang

The inspection team of the Provincial Party Committee stayed in Hiraizumi for nine days and finally left.Zhou Hongyou soon got more authoritative news from Beiyang that Secretary Wang Yi was going to be promoted.

This is not a secret, it has been rumored for a long time.Zhou Hongyou was concerned about who would succeed Wang Yi.

Zhou Hongyou hopes that Shangguan Hong will take over.His goal is not the mayor, but the executive deputy mayor.Among Hiraizumi's eight deputy mayors, he currently ranks fifth. In terms of seniority, his chances of taking over as mayor are basically zero.Therefore, instead of thinking about the mayor's throne, he thought about solving the problem of becoming a permanent member.

With the current power structure, the highest authority in Hiraizumi is of course the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.However, among the members of the municipal government, only Mayor Shangguan Hong and Executive Vice Mayor Zheng Xingmao are members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

The best outcome Zhou Hongyou imagined was that Shangguan Hong would take over as secretary of the municipal party committee, and Zheng Xingmao would take over as mayor.In this way, it is possible for him to take over Zheng Xingmao's current position.Because no matter what, the executive deputy mayor must be a member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee.Otherwise, the government's voice at the decision-making level will be too weak, which is inconsistent with the situation where the economy is in charge.

Although besides Zheng Xingmao, there are three deputy mayors in front of him, but he has obvious advantages in terms of age and education background, not to mention his biggest advantage is that he has a better relationship with Mayor Shangguan than those three deputy mayors. It is much closer, and Shangguan vaguely hinted at this when he talked about the construction plan of the new city recently.

Of course, Shangguan Hong cannot completely determine his fate, but Shangguan's vote is crucial, especially after Shangguan became secretary.

But the smooth realization of this idea is not small.The first is Zheng Xingmao, the executive deputy mayor.

Shangguan Hong might not be willing to let Zheng Xingmao take over from him.As an important member of the city government, Zhou Hongyou can feel some things that cannot be seen on the surface.In his opinion, it is absolutely necessary to set up an executive deputy. It is a shadow mayor, which can be filled at any time, and there is no need to consider the vacancy of special circumstances.What is a special situation, such as the mayor of Qingshan City being investigated.

The executive deputy mayor is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the number one deputy mayor. He has a lot of power and is in charge of the main government departments, such as the General Office and the Finance Bureau.On the surface, Zheng Xingmao respected Shangguan Hong very much in the past, but lately there has been a trend of contradictions becoming apparent.Zhou Hongyou knew that there was no harmony between Zheng and Shangguan.Because of the two financial appropriations, the Shangguan once severely criticized the Finance Bureau, and the Finance Bureau also suffered a lot. It was a list rejected by Zheng Xingmao. What should they do?
Zheng Xingmao received the support of Secretary Wang Yi, and his political style has become more and more serious in recent years. He has many complaints about the municipal planning formulated by Shangguan.Zheng Xingmao did not dare to publicly criticize Shangguan Hong, but repeatedly accused the planning bureau he was in charge of for lacking in scientific and people-oriented spirit, greedy for foreign affairs in municipal planning, disrespecting history, disregarding the city's cultural heritage, and disregarding the government's increasing "Aren't you afraid that the government will go bankrupt if you go on like this?" Zheng Xingmao said openly at a recent meeting of the financial system he chaired.

How can the government go bankrupt?We are not Western countries!Zhou Hongyou, who attended the meeting, scoffed at Zheng Xingmao's speech.

If Shangguan didn't want Zheng Xingmao to take over his class, wouldn't his wish come to nothing?

The second variable is Bai Yongquan, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.Bai is the third member of the Standing Committee, and theoretically has the possibility of succeeding Wang Yi.If deputy secretary bai jumped to become the secretary of the municipal party committee, his wishful thinking would be completely in vain.Is it possible for Bai Yongquan to succeed Wang Yi?Zhou Hongyou thinks it is possible.

The third is Shangguan Hong.Compared with Wang Yi, who has a steady and positive official voice, Shangguan Hong is a little more ostentatious.There was negative news, he, Zhou Hongyou, could hear it, and there was no reason why the higher-ups couldn't hear it.

Every time he thinks of obstacles to promotion, Zhou Hongyou goes crazy.Zhou Hongyou, who has "climbed" on the official road for 20 years, knows very well that relationships alone are not enough, and political achievements are indispensable at any time.Among the businesses he is in charge of, the most likely "battlefield" for achieving political achievements is the construction of new cities.In order to maintain the high speed of Hiraizumi’s development, starting the new town planning is the most reliable way. It will drive the development of more than 20 industries. Investment has been, is, and will be the most effective economic growth engine in the past, especially when we are still developing country in.

The new city construction plan personally presided over by the mayor of Shangguan has already been reported to the province and passed the review of relevant departments and bureaus. It is probably stuck at the highest decision-making level in the province.According to Shangguan, the province has agreed in principle to the construction plan of Hiraizumi New City, but after all, it involves a huge amount of investment, and the process is quite laborious.

According to Zhou Hongyou's experience in politics, success has always been achieved by striving, not by waiting.Just like the slogan shouted by the army, it must be people waiting for equipment, not equipment waiting for people.The most important condition for launching Hiraizumi New City is to have the conditions for launching. This work must be done as proactively as possible.But the biggest stumbling block in the construction of the new city is Red Star Company. In this regard, Hiraizumi is a little helpless, because Red Star is a central enterprise, not under the management of Hiraizumi, or even under the jurisdiction of the province.

So, Zhou Hongyou made an appointment with Tao Tang.Instead of calling Tao Tang directly, he asked his secretary to notify Red Star Company.This is a bit of a detour. The main reason is that Zhou Hongyou was a little "annoyed" with Tao Tang. He thought that Tao Tang would take the initiative to contact him after meeting at the East Lake clubhouse, and would make a phone call even if he didn't come to worship the mountain. He is the deputy mayor.Therefore, Zhou Hongyou played second fiddle and asked the head of Red Star to report to the city through official channels.

Tao Tang's action was very fast. That afternoon, Tao Tang knocked on the door of Zhou Hongyou's office.

"Vice Mayor Zhou, are you looking for me?"

"Hey, come with me?" Zhou Hongyou was defeated by the general.He reacted quickly and immediately changed his identity, "What do you mean?" Tao Tang didn't mention why he didn't contact him directly, but followed him and put on a businesslike gesture. Tang, the relocation of Red Star couldn't be started.It is not Tao Tang who is anxious now, but Hiraizumi City, specifically, Zhou Hongyou.Ever since Tao Tang showed his attitude, Zhou Hongyou realized that he had made a mistake.

"The city government office notified me to report to work, but didn't say anything... So no one brought it, so I came."

"The people below are always like this... The style problem really needs to be changed..." Zhou Hongyou picked up the cigarette, seemed to remember that Tao Tang was a non-smoker, and got up to make tea for Tao Tang.

"I'll just drink this." Tao Tang picked up a bottle of mineral water on the tea table, unscrewed it, and guzzled.

"You really don't look like a boss..." Zhou Hongyou looked at Tao Tang's overalls and smiled.

"You're talking, what's the matter?" Zhou Hongyou made up, and Tao Tang didn't care.

"Old classmate, what do you think about Red Star's relocation?"

Tao Tang spread his hands, "I don't know anything! I haven't heard any reports yet, and my superiors don't have any substantive instructions. It's absolutely true."

"You should clean up your internal affairs," Zhou Hongyou lit a cigarette. "This matter is definitely the top priority of Red Star. Let me tell you, Red Star has a plan. Your predecessor is here," he pointed to Tao Tang Sitting on the sofa, "I have reported to me the general idea of ​​Red Star."

Holding the bottle of mineral water in his hand, Tao Tang smiled and looked at the serious Zhou Hongyou.

"why do not you talk?"

"What do you want me to say? Why don't you tell me the city's plans."

Zhou Hongyou had a premonition that Tao Tang was not the one to get along with, but he really couldn't lose his temper with Tao Tang. The relationship between classmates was actually nonsense, but he couldn't control Tao Tang.Not to mention him, even Wang Yi has nothing to do with Tao Tang.Because Tao Tang is not a municipal cadre, nor is he a provincial cadre.The reality is like this, Tao Tang's relationship is in Yanjing, not in Brilliant Group, not in Province G, let alone Hiraizumi.

"Okay, let me briefly talk about it." Zhou Hongyou considered, "Piraizumi has a new city construction plan, and it is going to develop westward. A new city featuring culture will be built in the western suburbs, and all universities in Hiraizumi will be moved there. Some universities in the province ——At least three schools have been implemented, and they will also move into the new city. The provincial and municipal levels attach great importance to this plan and plan to start it as soon as possible. It must not be delayed until the [-]th Five-Year Plan. Enough space has been allocated in the development zone, and the supporting facilities there are relatively complete. Moreover, after more than ten years of construction in the development zone, nearly a hundred companies have concentrated. The cost of running the business will also be lower, and it’s a win-win situation ... that’s about it.”

"Vice Mayor Zhou," Tao Tang resumed the attitude he had just arrived, but his words became sharper, "You know the basic situation of Red Star Company, because you are a child of Red Star. Relocation is definitely not a matter of the production line. The family members of Red Star are welcome Tens of thousands, the number of retired workers exceeds the number of active employees, so we can’t move all the living quarters there, right? Besides, what about the funds? Do you know the area of ​​Red Star’s productive buildings? If you want me to pay, I’m sorry, it’s absolutely impossible .”

"Of course the city needs to do something... However, it still has to act according to economic laws. Last time, you boss Feng sent you to the post and talked to the city about the relocation of Red Star. Brilliant Group has a plan for strategic reorganization. Maybe some backward industries And products have been eliminated. Of course, you can also adjust within your group, and even cooperate with Hiraizumi. The main leaders of the municipal party committee fully agree with this idea."

"If the superior takes away Red Star's products and production lines, I have no objection at all. The key is people. I told Feng Dong that whether it is relocation or reorganization, personnel placement is the first priority. If you can't do this well, you can't talk about anything. not."

"The housing problem is planned in the city. After the new city is launched, commercial development must follow. The positioning of the new city determines that the land price of the new city has a huge room for growth. The city has a unified compensation standard for demolition, and employees will welcome it. Red Star has a large-scale one-story residential area. As far as the status quo of those bungalows is concerned, they can basically be classified as shantytowns. Isn’t this way to fundamentally improve the living conditions of employees? The key is the determination and attitude of the Red Star team, not others.”

"Even if the housing problem can be satisfactorily resolved, Red Star will still be a company after it moves away, right? Can't eat imperial food? What about the market? What about products? Also, Red Star is more than [-] kilometers away from the development zone, and tens of thousands of employees have to work. How to solve it? Will it bring pressure to the traffic? Don’t say use a shuttle bus to solve it, Red Star is not a small unit, that’s unrealistic.”

"Old Tao, why do I feel that you are against this plan at all?"

"How can I have the right to object? I'm just trying to find my way in my position, and I'm just considering the real difficulties from the position of Red Star's general manager. I must consider the actual interests of Red Star's employees."

"Difficult? Is it not difficult to do things now? You have also seen how much Hiraizumi has changed compared to ours at the beginning? Hasn't it developed under pressure? Interests? Long-term interests and real interests are often in conflict. Now it is possible Some people scold us, after five or ten years, I can guarantee that Red Star employees will thank you and even build a monument for you."

"To be honest, I don't dare to win the gratitude of the employees. What I consider is the survival and development of Red Star. First of all, the issue of survival. Hongyou, I am not telling lies. Although Red Star is a central enterprise, it is actually Hiraizumi. Red Star The stability of Hiraizumi is related to the stability of Hiraizumi. I dare not take it lightly, and I advise you not to take it lightly. I will say the same to Comrade Feng Shizhao."

"The construction of a new city is a decision of the provincial and municipal party committees..."

"I have no intention of opposing the decisions of the provincial and municipal party committees. Hongyou, if you are looking for me today to discuss the relocation and reorganization of Red Star, then give me some time and let me organize and study this issue. What I am talking about now is only personal. Feeling problems, completely uncountable.”

"Well, I hope you move faster. Lao Tao, you have been the top leader of a large state-owned enterprise. The revitalization of state-owned enterprises cannot rely on small fights, but also seize opportunities. The relocation of Red Star is an opportunity."

"I see that you are quite busy too. If there is nothing else, I will go back." Tao Tang said goodbye.

Zhou Hongyou got up and saw him off, "Oh, I almost forgot, the thing Gu Meijun said last time, it's not difficult, right? Now you are a hand."

"Basic household?" Tao Tang patted his forehead, "Look at my memory, Squad Leader Gu should blame me, I should tell them if it works or not. Well, I'll talk about it after I understand the situation."
