Ye Ming heard from Xu Tai that Feng Jialiang had great opinions on him, with a disdainful sneer on his face, and said to Xu Tai: "County Magistrate Xu, you don't have to worry about this. If he doesn't want to come to Beishan to guide the work, then we will directly do it in a few days."
Go to the Finance Department to find him and you will always find a solution."
Seeing Ye Ming's confident look, Xu Tailai was secretly surprised. He didn't know what method he was going to use to persuade Feng Jialiang to change his mind, but he couldn't ask again, so he had to nod and agree.
After all the teachers dispersed, Ye Ming took Jiang Dunyi's car to the People's Hospital to briefly treat the wound, then rushed back to the office to handle some more urgent business. In the afternoon, he convened a meeting with all standing committee members at home. First,
Liu Honda directed
Participants reported that Li Zheng was investigated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and then Yang Qiang read out several personnel appointment and removal plans. One of them was to transfer Zhu Hua to the Land and Resources Bureau as deputy director, and Su Jinsong to the county party committee office as secretary Keke.
Chief, and made it clear that he was Ye Ming’s secretary.
The last topic at the meeting was about the funding for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Beishan County. Since Ye Ming didn't know much about this matter, the Propaganda Minister Chen Lichang gave him a detailed report.
It turns out that July 15th this year is the celebration day for the 50th anniversary of the founding of Beishan County. As early as the beginning of the year, the former county party secretary Zhang Jiankun proposed to hold a grand celebration and invited TV stations and newspapers at the provincial and municipal levels.
and other news media came to publicize and report to achieve the purpose of increasing Beishan's popularity, promoting Beishan's development achievements in recent years, and enhancing the pride and cohesion of the people of the county.
Therefore, he repeatedly instructed the Propaganda Department: We must make this celebration more grand and lively, carefully select and rehearse theatrical performances, and at the same time invite some famous hosts and celebrities to come and cheer for us, even if
There is no need to hesitate to spend more money for this purpose.
According to Zhang Jiankun's instructions, Beishan County established a preparatory committee for the 50th anniversary celebration of the county. Zhang Jiankun personally served as the director of the preparatory committee. He contacted some famous entrepreneurs from Beishan and raised five million yuan for the celebration.
activities, but there is not much left of the five million yuan. If you want to invite famous hosts and celebrities to participate in the celebrations, set off fireworks at the party, banquet leaders and guests, give red envelopes to news media reporters and other expenses,
There is still a funding gap of at least three million yuan.
But now, the county finance staff cannot pay out salaries, and there is no money left to spend on celebration activities. And now, there are only 20 days until July 15th. If the funding problem is not solved quickly, not only will celebrities and celebrities not be invited, but
Reporters, they can’t even come up with the money to entertain the leaders and guests, so they might make a big fool of themselves...
Ye Ming knew that in a poor county like Beishan, every financial expenditure was budgeted at the beginning of the year. Every nail is a hole, and sometimes there is even no hole in the nail. It is necessary to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall to barely maintain revenue.
Therefore, the funding gap of three million yuan may not seem like much, but if it is not included in the county's fiscal budget at the beginning of the year, there will be no way to fill it with money from fiscal funds.
So, he asked a little strangely: "Minister Chen, since Comrade Zhang Jiankun originally proposed to hold a grand celebration and invite celebrities and media reporters to attend, didn't he consider the funding issue? The county's financial budget at the beginning of the year,
Why not include this expense?”
Chen Lichang smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Ye, we are a poor county. If millions of dollars are allocated in the fiscal budget to hold luxurious celebrations, what will the people think? What will the superior leaders think? So, Secretary Zhang Jiankun said at the beginning
He said: This celebration does not cost a penny from the finance, and he will raise funds from Beishan entrepreneurs. Later, he convinced several Beishan entrepreneurs who were developing in other places and agreed to jointly invest 10 million yuan to organize the celebration.
Activity.
"Among them, three entrepreneurs have fulfilled their commitments and donated a total of 5 million yuan to the celebration preparatory group in March. However, a Beishan-based billionaire in Shenzhen originally promised to donate 5 million yuan.
, and promised that it would be in place by the beginning of June. However, as soon as Secretary Zhang Jiankun was transferred, he changed his mind, saying that their company had difficulty with cash flow and could no longer donate, and he himself would not come back to participate in the celebrations——"
Ye Ming immediately interrupted him and asked: "What is the name of this Shenzhen entrepreneur? What industry does he work in? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"
"His surname is Zhang and his name is Zhang Guangyuan. His company is engaged in the production and sales of mid- to low-end mobile phones. The products are mainly exported to some poor countries in Southeast Asia and Africa. The business is very large and he has made a lot of money. He has a relationship with Secretary Zhang Jiankun
Very good, so when Secretary Zhang asked for donations, he immediately agreed to donate five million yuan. I guess the reason why he changed his mind was because Secretary Zhang had been transferred and he felt that there was no need to spend the money, so he went to
I just found an excuse not to donate.”
Ye Ming silently wrote down the name Zhang Guangyuan in his mind, and did not dwell on the topic again. He asked again: "Which celebrities are you going to invite to host and perform? How much is the budget for it?"
Chen Lichang replied: "As for the host, Secretary Zhang wanted to invite Li Wen, the most popular female host of Tianjiang TV, to come over and promised the intermediary responsible for contacting her. No matter how much Li Wen asked for, the county would agree. However, Li Wen
But we rejected the invitation. So, we asked someone to contact another female host on the provincial TV station who was less famous than Li Wen. The appearance fee was 200,000 yuan.
"As for celebrities, we contacted a first-tier male singer, two second-tier female singers, and two second-tier actresses. The first-tier male singer offered 300,000 yuan and only sang one song. The two second-tier female singers each sang two
song, the price is 200,000 yuan per person; the two actresses recite a prose poem describing the development prospects of Beishan, and the price per person is 100,000 yuan. Including the host's 200,000 yuan, the total payment is 100,000 yuan.
The remuneration of 1.1 million yuan does not include their transportation, food and accommodation expenses."
Ye Ming shook his head disapprovingly and said: "This money is too extravagant and completely unnecessary. Minister Chen, have you signed any performance contracts with these stars?"
"Not yet. These people are all indiscriminate characters. Although they have negotiated their intentions with us, they must first pay half of their money in advance before they are willing to officially sign a contract with us. We can't raise this money now.
I didn’t have an advance payment, so I didn’t dare to sign a contract with them, nor did I dare to put their names on the posters and promotional materials for the celebration.”
