Behind the scenes

Chapter 13

The joint investigation team sent by the provincial party committee came to Xianghan City. There were three people in the investigation team.The team leader is a division chief of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.After they came to Xianghan City, they stayed in the Xianghan Hotel and began to investigate the situation of the general election of the National People's Congress.Because there are no specific clues, it is just a general investigation, so the conversation investigation is the main one.The people who are looking for are divided into three categories, one is the leading cadres, starting from the secretary of the municipal party committee, the second is the county and district people's congress representatives, and the third is the two parties involved.The investigation team first approached Gu Yishun, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.Secretary Gu introduced them to the entire election process and some practices of the Municipal Party Committee to strengthen leadership during the National People's Congress.Gu Yishun said: "When the Provincial Party Committee decided Comrade Li Zimin to be the mayor candidate, I agreed. Comrade Zimin has many advantages. He dares to be responsible for his work. He is familiar with the economic work and the situation of Xianghan City, and his character is also very good. I am in favor of him being the mayor. But I think it makes sense for the National People’s Congress to elect Comrade Liu Rong as the mayor. Comrade Liu Rong is young, courageous, capable, free-spirited, and quick to learn new things. At the same time, This person is also good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and his methods are more flexible. It is because of his advantages that he can stand out at the National People's Congress. I also agree with his election as mayor. Of course, the provincial party committee also agrees. If the provincial If the committee does not finally agree, he will not be the mayor."

The investigation team leader asked: "So far, have you found any non-organizational behavior in the election of the mayor, or something like canvassing votes?"

Gu Yishun said: "So far, we haven't found any non-organizational behavior on the election of the mayor. As for canvassing, it seems that among the deputy mayors in the contest election, some people canvassing votes. Of course, this is normal in my opinion. , there are six candidates for vice mayor, five of them will be selected, and one will be left behind. These six people always have to work, and everyone is afraid of being left behind, so it’s not surprising that they do some work. But I really didn’t think of it , There will be such a big problem in the mayor of the equal election. It also brings passiveness to the work of the provincial party committee."

The secretary of the municipal party committee believed that there was no problem with the election, and was satisfied with the two candidates for mayor, so the investigation team quickly ended the conversation with Gu Yishun.

Then they talked to Feng Dachun, director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.Feng Dachun said: "There is no problem with the election of the National People's Congress. People's representatives have the right to choose the mayor they think is appropriate. It is reasonable to choose Li Zimin. He is too old, already 55 years old. Doesn’t the Party emphasize that cadres should be younger? Generally speaking, young people should be more motivated than old ones. The method is simple, sometimes rough, the level of work ability is very average, and the spirit of innovation is obviously insufficient. The development speed of Xianghan City has been slow in recent years, which is directly related to him as the mayor. I am in favor of electing young comrades. I told the investigation team the truth, and I did not vote for Li Zimin." Feng Dachun was confident and bold to express his point of view.

The head of the investigation asks: "Did any disorganization be found during the election?"

Feng Dachun said: "I am the director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and I have not found any unorganized behavior. Besides, the entire election was conducted under the unified leadership of the municipal party committee, and they all adhered to the unified leadership of the party. Please investigate if there is any unorganized behavior. The team directly asked the municipal committee, if the municipal committee said it was there, it was there, and if the municipal committee said it wasn’t, then it wasn’t.” Feng Dachun obviously disliked the investigation team, so he was not polite.When the conversation came to this point, the investigation team had no choice but to end the conversation.

The list of conversations with county and district leaders and individual people's representatives was provided by the Organization Department of the Xianghan Municipal Party Committee, and these people did not say anything wrong.Finally, it's time to talk to the client.The first person to look for was Li Zimin.

Li Zimin originally wanted to tell the investigation team what he knew, including what Secretary Dong said and what Gao Benzheng, Secretary of the Liuhe County Party Committee, said. But after thinking about it later, these are just some claims without obvious evidence. Liu Rong has become the mayor of the city. Yes, the Provincial Party Committee has already decided that it is meaningless to say these things by yourself. If it is not done well, it will bring disadvantages to Liu Rong's work and affect the unity of the team.He admitted that he was too old and had some problems in his work. The people's representatives did not recognize him, and he said nothing about the election of the people's congress.None of the parties could raise any clues or questions, and the members of the investigation team let out a long sigh of relief.

The atmosphere of the conversation with Liu Rong was much more relaxed.Liu Rong only said that he did not expect a thousand or ten thousand. Now that he is the mayor, he really feels too much pressure. Now that he thinks about it, it is better to be the deputy mayor. There is no need to worry so much. Now I haven’t slept well for two nights because of the reform of the enterprise. No wonder some people say: You should be a vegetarian if you eat vegetables, you should wear cloth for your clothes, and you should be a deputy if you are an official. It really makes sense.

The investigation team lived in Xianghan City for three days, successfully completed the investigation task, and formally drafted an investigation report to the Provincial Party Committee in the hotel, proving that everything was normal in the general election of the Xianghan City People's Congress.At noon before leaving, Gu Yishun and Liu Rong saw them off at the hotel.This was the first time in three days that he had dinner with the city leaders. The investigation found no problems, and he was more relaxed when drinking.The government reception desk bought each member of the investigation team and the driver an Erdos brand thickened cashmere sweater, each costing more than 1000 yuan, and secretly loaded it into the car.After drinking and eating, the members of the investigation team shook hands with the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, and left Xianghan by car to return to the province.

In order to choose a breakthrough to sell the company, Ma Guanjun didn't sleep well in the past two days.There are a large number of enterprises to be sold, the key is to see who can afford them. Only when a good buyer is selected can the transaction be concluded, and the people who can afford to buy enterprises will definitely not be ordinary people.As long as people with economic and political strength are mentioned in Xianghan, Ma Guanjun will naturally think of Jiang Dashan.

Jiang Dashan was a well-known figure in Xianghan, or he could be said to be a leading figure in the underworld.He is only 38 years old this year, and his age is not very old. When he was in high school, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for stabbing a classmate to death due to a miss in a war. As a result, he only stayed there for eight years before he came out. The buddies formed a gang, beat and killed, and were detained by the Public Security Bureau three times.Later, they resold cigarettes and clothing and controlled the market. After a few years of hard work, Dashan Economic and Trade Company was formally established, recruiting troops and buying horses. The field of business began to develop in steel, cement, petroleum, construction, etc., and its power became more and more powerful. At the same time, it began to contact the political circles, public security, judicial, financial and other departments. The company hired some important people as senior consultants, and its power became more and more powerful. It is said that its assets have reached [-] million yuan.

Ma Guanjun came to Dashan Economic and Trade Company by car.This is a six-story office building that has just been built. The design of the building is European style. The entire exterior decoration is made of black granite, which forms a very sharp contrast with the many white tiles and matchbox-style buildings around it.As soon as he entered the revolving door, a service lady came up to him immediately, "Sir, who are you looking for?" Ma Guanjun replied: "I am from the municipal government, and my surname is Ma. I want to find General Manager Jiang." The service lady Immediately dialed the phone in his hand, said a few words, and then very politely asked Ma Guanjun to get on the elevator and sent him to the sixth floor.

At the elevator entrance, Jiang Dashan was already waiting here. He came forward and held Ma Guanjun's hand affectionately, "Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Secretary-General Ma of the municipal government." Jiang Dashan, 38 years old, looks very young. Gray high-end suit, white shirt and red tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, smiling all over the face, without any trace of fighting in Xianghan City, he looks like a scholar, except that there is a deep knife mark on the right side of his face , which was left behind by the opponent's machete in a fight.He very enthusiastically let Ma Guanjun into his spacious and elegant office.Ma Guanjun took a glance into the room, and said with emotion: "General Manager Jiang is really magnificent, your office conditions are far behind our mayor's!"

Jiang Dashan said: "That's because the government doesn't want to do it. If it wants to, in a word, I, Jiang Dashan, will take care of everything."

Ma Guanjun smiled and didn't answer. He kept looking at the female secretary who poured him tea with his eyes.This female secretary is really beautiful.He had heard from others that Jiang Dashan was the bridegroom almost every night, and the girls were not virgins, so he didn't want one.Jiang Dashan is a representative of the Municipal People's Congress and a celebrity in Xianghan City. He and Ma Guanjun have known each other since ordinary times, but they have no further contact.Jiang Dashan said: "The National People's Congress has just ended, and Secretary-General Ma has been promoted. To come to our company today, there must be something important."

Ma Guanjun said: "Dashan Company is a well-known private enterprise in the city. You are rich and powerful. The government really wants to find you for some matters."

Jiang Dashan said: "You are welcome, just tell me if you have something to say, whether you are short of money to buy a car, or need sponsorship for activities, just drive a few and contribute to the government. I, Jiang Dashan, have never said a word no."

"That is, that is." Ma Guanjun nodded repeatedly, "However, I am not here to ask you for money, but to help you earn money."

"Help me earn money? What money?" Jiang Dashan asked puzzled.

"This..." Ma Guanjun glanced at the beautiful female secretary again, and Jiang Dashan immediately said, "Xiaohong, you go out first." The female secretary stood up and left.Then Ma Guanjun said: "I am here this time. I was appointed by Mayor Liu Rong to study with you and ask you to buy a business."

"Buy a company? What company should I buy?" Jiang Dashan still shook his head in confusion.

Ma Guanjun said: "You don't understand this. The superiors recently have a new spirit. They want to carry out bold reforms on state-owned enterprises and sell some enterprises. Our Mayor Liu just became the mayor. Someone in the province told him, To make a breakthrough in this area, our municipal government has studied it, and will soon sell the company with great fanfare.”

"That's your government's business. It has nothing to do with me, Dashan. I just know how to make more money. I don't care about anything else." Jiang Dashan was impatient and interrupted Ma Guanjun.Ma Guanjun was not in a hurry, but said patiently: "I came to you to make you money. The government has a series of preferential policies for selling enterprises. You can buy them at a low cost at this time, and the value will increase as soon as you change hands." .Besides, you can’t always do economic and trade business. Only by owning your own industry can you have greater development.”

"What business are you going to sell?" Jiang Dashan asked.

"We can sell any company, as long as you are optimistic about it. In this way, you can be a model set by the government and get great economic benefits. This is a good deal where you can find it." Ma Guanjun said Said, Jiang Dashan's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately realized the truth here.He said with a smile on his face: "I really want to thank the government and Secretary-General Ma. After listening to your words, I understand everything. I will buy this company. As for which one to buy, I will check and check the specific situation. Well, let's talk again in two days, but I will say one thing first today, and it's about Secretary-General Ma's concern for Dashan. Whether the matter is successful or not, I will give a big thank you, of course, if it is successful, it will be of great benefit to the development of my Dashan company, I, Jiang Dashan, will pay a lot of money."

Ma Guanjun said with a smile: "It depends on what you said. As government cadres, we also think about the masses. If both sides benefit, it will be the best of both worlds!"

One day later, Jiang Dashan took the initiative to find Ma Guanjun, saying that he was optimistic about Xianghan Machinery Factory, and that he wanted to buy this factory, and the conditions could be discussed in detail.Ma Guanjun said: "You are really discerning, I knew you would fall in love with the machinery factory, who wouldn't want to eat this piece of fat!"

The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee passed the enterprise reform plan proposed by the government very smoothly.There are two reasons. One is that when Liu Rong reported to the Standing Committee the opinions discussed at the executive meeting of the government, he did not report Li Zimin's different opinions, but only his agreed opinions.Second, Li Zimin did not participate in the Standing Committee at all.The night before, Liu Rong approached Li Zimin with a telegram from the provincial government saying that the province would hold a rural work conference tomorrow and asked the government to appoint a leader. He invited Li Zimin to attend the provincial meeting on behalf of the Xianghan Municipal Government.After listening to Liu Rong's report, Gu Yishun, secretary of the municipal party committee, invited all members of the Standing Committee to speak.Among the members of the Standing Committee, there are basically no people who really understand economic work, especially industrial economics, and everyone can't say anything else.It was the member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the chairman of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions who agreed to propose that in the process of enterprise reform and sale of enterprises, we should pay attention to the interests of the workers and give full play to the supervisory function of the trade union to handle this matter well.Finally, Gu Yishun emphasized that the relationship between reform, development and stability must be properly handled.Reform is the premise, development is the core, and stability is the guarantee. Without a stable social environment, nothing can be done.He hoped that the government would do a good job in detail during the specific implementation process.

As soon as the Standing Committee ended, Liu Rong immediately held a city-wide enterprise reform mobilization meeting.His mobilization report at the meeting was written by Wu Qing.It took Wu Qing two days and one night to write this report. He consulted a lot of information and made some adjustments in terms of language and grammar. He used to write manuscripts for Li Zimin. He likes to go straight to the point without any embellishments. , Now writing a manuscript for Liu Rong, what he needs is a style with some literary talent. This is the second report drafted by Liu Rong's office after he became mayor, so he is extra careful for fear of writing it wrong.After the manuscript was typed, Wu Qing still sent it to the deputy director Bai Zhi who was in charge of text synthesis first. Bai Zhi waved his hand, "No, no, you can just send it."

Wu Qing said, "How can I do it? There are procedures for work."

Bai Zhi thought for a while, then took the typescript, without even looking at it, he just wrote in the blank space of the typescript: "Mayor Liu please approve it, Bai Zhi." Then he handed it to her.

Wu Qing took the manuscript and knocked on the door of Liu Rong's office.Liu Rong said please come in, Wu Qing opened the door and went in.Wu Qing is not only beautiful, but also has temperament, which is unique to cultural women or professional women. "Mayor Liu, I have already drafted your report at the mobilization meeting. Director Bai asked me to send it to you. Please approve it." Wu asked.

Liu Rong was approving a document. When he saw Wu Qing coming in, he quickly put down his pen and said with a smile on his face, "It's troubled you again." After he finished speaking, he took the manuscript, but he didn't read it, and his eyes never left Wu Qing. Clear that pretty face.He casually asked: "Who is the chief author of the manuscript?"

"It's me." Wu Qing replied.

"You wrote it yourself, how long did it take you?"

"Two days and one night."

Hearing this, Liu Rong's eyes showed a very satisfied look again, "Sit down quickly. I have worked hard for two days and one night. I heard that your wife is not at home, and the child is young. You are doing comprehensive writing. What a pain!" Seeing that Wu Qing was still standing, he hurriedly said, "You sit down, I have something to say." Wu Qing then sat on the leather chair opposite the mayor.

Looking at Wu Qing in front of him, who does Liu Rong think she looks like? Who does she look like?He suddenly remembered the beautiful female college student with whom he had a one-night sex in the provincial capital.Upon closer inspection, the eyes of the two of them are very similar, they are both the kind of Danfeng eyes, they are really similar, but Wu Qing is more mature than that girl, and thus more attractive.

"How many years have you worked in the government?" Liu Rong asked.

"Seven years." Wu Qing replied.

"What about being the general manager?"

"four years ago."

"You work hard, I will not bury you when I am the mayor. In the future, you can come to me directly, of course, not only for writing materials, but also for other things, you can come to me at any time." When Liu Rong said this , with a special look in his eyes.Wu Qing understood this look, but she had no expression on her face, she just said calmly: "Understood. Mayor, do you have any instructions? Go out without me."

Liu Rong was a little disappointed, but still nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

Seeing the beautiful section chief leave, Liu Rong put down the document he was reviewing and read the mobilization report sent by Wu Qing.The more he read it, the happier he was. He really admired the writing style of this beautiful woman. He read the report without changing a single word, and wrote on it: This is a very good report.Print and distribute a copy of the meeting.Liu Rong.He really didn't expect that such a beautiful woman would write such a beautiful article.

Due to the well-written mobilization report and the strong atmosphere of the meeting, Liu Rong really gave a very wonderful report at the city-wide enterprise reform mobilization meeting. Nearly a thousand leaders of enterprises and institutions gave warm applause.The municipal TV station also used the TV broadcast van that had just spent a huge sum of money to broadcast the mobilization meeting live. All units, government agencies and enterprises in the city organized to watch it, and then discussed it. The newspaper published the front page and added an editorial. , Xianghan City made great strides in enterprise reform, and concentrating on selling enterprises has become a hot issue that everyone in the city is concerned about. After the meeting, Ma Guanjun also printed and distributed a list of enterprises that the government is going to sell. There are more than ten pages for relevant buyers to read.

As soon as the mobilization meeting for selling the company was over, Ma Guanjun drove to Xianghan Machinery Factory.The machinery factory was established in 25, when Xianghan was just liberated, and the machinery factory was established mainly to process firearms and support the front line.After liberation, as a key enterprise in the "First Five-Year Plan" and "Second Five-Year Plan", the state has invested a lot, and it can be regarded as a very influential and important enterprise in the north.The whole factory covers an area of ​​13 square meters, with a building area of ​​1000 square meters.At that time, Xianghan City was still very small, and the machinery factory was not located in the city center, but now, Xianghan City has expanded several times compared to the original, and the machinery factory has become a good location in the city center.In the past few years, the factory has been in a downturn, the technology is backward, the equipment is aging, and there is no source of work. Last year, the factory stopped production, and more than 300 workers went home on vacation throughout the year. The wages of more than [-] retirees were coordinated by the municipal labor insurance company.Ma Guanjun found Huang Caifa, the director of the machinery factory, at the mobilization meeting, and agreed to meet in the factory after the meeting.
