Chapter 89, Construction of Electronic Industrial Park II
Townships are the most basic units of the huge Huaxia Kingdom. In ancient times, a township secretary was, at most, a petty official of the same rank as the chief. Don’t underestimate these petty officials. The huge state machine of the Huaxia Kingdom can operate.
It depends on these small officials at the grassroots level.
Townships are not big, only one or two hundred square kilometers, but the things that township cadres are involved in are too many and complicated. There are thousands of threads holding you up, and anyone who comes from above has to be dealt with carefully. It is really difficult to be a township cadre.
.
When Fang Ming asked him to find a place to chat, Li Xiaohua felt so grateful that he burst into tears.
"Mr. Fang, it's getting late, why don't we go to Qipan Village to find a restaurant to eat and chat." Li Xiaohua suggested. This is also the usual practice in the official circles of the Huaxia Kingdom. Anything can be done easily after drinking wine. You have to drink this wine.
If people are not happy, things are often done unclearly. This is also a characteristic of the Chinese officialdom.
"You can eat and drink, but I'll pay for the drinks!"
"This, how can this be done!" Li Xiaohua was a little worried about his face, and he had to fulfill his friendship as a landlord no matter what.
"Secretary Li, now that I know a little bit about the finances of the townships, I won't put any more burden on the local government. Let's go."
Fang Ming first drove to the nearby Qipan Township, found a restaurant, and booked a private room.
Li Xiaohua was really moved by the fact that a boss of a large company, someone who could be brothers and sisters with the senior officials of the Municipal Party Committee, could handle such a difficult task.
The food and drinks were quickly served. Fang Ming didn't say anything. He raised his cup and walked around for a while, then cut to the chase and said, "Director Zhao, Secretary Li, please tell me about the allocation of funds."
Zhao Hua said first: "Mr. Fang, land acquisition compensation is directly allocated by the municipal finance. Our Qipan Township belongs to Tiantai District. If the district's funds are not in place, this compensation will be difficult to solve."
Fang Ming smiled lightly and said: "Director Zhao, it seems that you are avoiding the important and taking the easy. The agreement between Qipan Township and the farmers is only 1,000 yuan/acre. Where did the rest of the money go?"
Zhao Hua was silent. Fang Ming couldn't be fooled. After thinking about it, Zhao Hua touched his forehead and said, "Mr. Fang, to be honest, the compensation money goes through three levels of agencies: city, district and township. There are some things in this that are really not right.
Easy to talk about."
What I mean by hard to say is that I can’t say. Fang Ming probably just guessed that most local governments now raise part of their own funds for construction, and these funds are often not available. However, these compensation funds are paid by Shenhua Electronics. If even this
Part of the money has to be spent on plucking the geese's hair, which would be too boring.
Fang Ming turned his head and looked at Li Xiaohua. This look was like a high-power spotlight, which made Li Xiaohua go crazy.
"Mr. Fang, I---I'm telling the truth! That's what Director Zhao meant. It's very likely that the money won't be available, and I don't know the reason." Li Xiaohua could only say this.
Fang Ming didn't force himself anymore. He raised his glass and said, "Come on, Secretary Li, I respect you!"
The boss of a large company toasted him personally. Li Xiaohua's hands were shaking with excitement. He raised his neck to finish.
Several people were drinking back and forth, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
"Director Zhao, Secretary Li, I know that the work at the grassroots level is difficult, but I didn't expect that the work of township cadres is so difficult! It seems that I had some misunderstandings before."
Fang Ming's heartfelt words moved the two of them. Li Xiaohua was also a forthright man. He picked up his wine glass and said, "Mr. Fang, for the sake of what I said, I have nothing to hide. Since the agricultural tax has been exempted, towns and villages have
Our income is limited, and most towns rely on blood transfusions from above. It’s really difficult to do some things without money!”
Li Xiaohua was quite drunk, and he was telling the truth. There are no large-scale enterprises in towns like Qipan Township, so they are completely dependent on the weather.
Fang Ming continued to eat and drink, and through chatting, he learned a lot about the situation.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Ming said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the company headquarters in Tiantai City.
"Ziqian, Xinrou, what do you think?"
"Fang Ming, what happened today is really profound. I didn't expect that it would be so difficult at the grassroots level. However, what I am most worried about is where our compensation money will go."
"Yes, those farmers who lost their land are so pitiful, I shed tears just thinking about it." Ye Xinrou agreed.
"I want to think about this matter carefully. You should go back and rest first." Fang Ming looked at the president's office on the third floor. The lights in Fang Wenqiang's room were still on. He was going to have a good talk with Brother Qiang to see what he had in store. idea.
Opening the door, Fang Wenqiang was burying his head in reading documents, and his sister-in-law Shen Bijun was making coffee for him. The scene was quite warm.
"Brother Qiang, what a scene of red sleeves adding fragrance. I'm sorry to bother you."
"What a mouthful!" Shen Bijun held up his jade hand, hit Fang Ming on the head, and said coquettishly: "Mingzi, you guys talk, I'm going out first."
"Tell me, is the industrial park not going well?" Fang Wenqiang asked with a smile.
Fang Ming said in surprise: "Brother, how do you know?"
"Huaxia has a huge and bloated office, and its efficiency is the lowest in the world. I can guess it with my toes!"
Fang Ming also laughed, but the most important thing right now is to solve the problem: "Brother Qiang, by doing this they not only embezzled Shenhua Company's money, but also delayed our construction schedule."
A cold smile appeared on Fang Wenqiang's lips: "Mingzi, how much advantage do you really think the Tiantai Municipal Government can take? They embezzled part of the compensation money. I know all these things. That's why I want the Tiantai Municipal Government to be responsible for land acquisition and demolition." The reason is that the demolition affects the whole body, so even if we pay a little, it will be nothing."
Fang Wenqiang talked eloquently, and Fang Ming's eyes widened. It turned out that all this had been considered by Brother Qiang for a long time. What surprised him even more was what happened next: "Mingzi, let me tell you the truth, Shenhua Electronics moved back to the mainland from the coast. Sooner or later, it’s already two years ahead of schedule.”
Two years in advance means that there is enough time to prepare. Even if the Tiantai City Government is inefficient, these two years are enough for them. Fang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and praised sincerely: "Brother Qiang, it turns out that you have already You see, I’m worrying too much.”
"Mingzi, if you come to talk to me, it means you have made progress. This is how business is done. You must take all the negative factors into consideration and think about it carefully."
Fang Ming nodded in agreement, and continued to ask: "Then we can't wait in vain now?"
"Of course we can't wait in vain, we just need to stand still, they will come to us sooner or later." Fang Wenqiang showed a sly smile, like a clever fox that smelled the scent of prey.
In the next half month, Fang Ming followed Fang Wenqiang's instructions and silently made preparations for building the factory. During this period, Zhao Hua called Fang Ming several times, and Fang Ming always asked about the relocation situation of the industrial park. Brother Qiang You are right. The government has to do things after receiving the money. Fang Ming completely gave up the idea of urging. Anyway, the construction will not start until the end of the year. It depends on how the big guys in the Tiantai City Standing Committee end up. You know, the agreement between Shenhua Company and the province It will be piloted on the rooftop first, and then the scale of investment in Nandu, the provincial capital, will be decided based on the results.
After another week of delay, the big guys in Tiantai City finally couldn't sit still, and Executive Vice Mayor Meng Chuan took the initiative to visit.
In Fang Ming's office, he had a close encounter with the top management of Tiantai City.
Meng Chuan, who was in his early forties, parachuted directly from the provincial department to Tiantai City to take over Ye Ronghua's duties. Sitting opposite Fang Ming, Meng Chuan looked at Fang Ming carefully.
Smart, capable, and completely devoid of youthfulness. Is he really just a sophomore in high school as rumored by the outside world?
