Chapter 154 The Party-Government Joint Meeting at the Card Table
The Fenglin Town Government compound is quite "quiet" at night. Apart from the patter of rain hitting the ground, no other sounds can be heard. Many windows in the Tongzi Building are still lit.
The nightlife of the cadres in Fenglin Town mainly consists of playing cards. After dinner, everyone gathers together in twos and threes and opens the table to "start a war." The main thing is playing cards. Mahjong has not yet become fully popular, and it is estimated that it will take two or three years. There are also
People gambled for money, but the stakes were not big. At that time, the salaries of cadres were not high, so the lottery was just for fun.
There was no tension.
Gao Jie returned to her dormitory, changed her clothes, and went straight out. Fan Hongyu was already waiting in the corridor. Director Fan's bedroom was on the same floor as Mayor Gao, just like they were neighbors in the prefectural committee cadres' dormitory.
"Let's go to Secretary Lu's house to report."
Gao Jie was holding a net bag in her hand, which contained some candies. When she went to the capital, she should bring some candies to her comrades to express her feelings. It was one thing to have a tense official relationship with Lu Weidong, and it was a courtesy that should be observed.
Can't be less.
As soon as I arrived at the door of Lu Weidong's house, I heard noisy people shouting and yelling, as if they were trying to make Secretary Lu get into the table.
Lu Weidong doesn't play with money when playing cards. He only digs into the table or sticks his "beard" on the loser's face. In this regard, Lu Weidong still sets an example. He doesn't cheat even if he loses in poker, and he digs into the table anyway.
Gao Jie knocked on the door.
"Who..."
The voice of a deputy mayor sounded inside, and he immediately opened the door and was stunned. His expression was stern.
"Mayor Gao?"
"Hello, Mayor Liu."
Gao Jie smiled slightly.
"Oh, Mayor Gao, you are finally back... Please come in, please come in! Oh, Director Fan is here too..."
Mayor Liu did not dare to neglect, and nodded and smiled at Director Fan.
Xiao Fan is a character.
The room was in a mess, with a square wooden table in the center. Five or six people sat around the table. Two decks of playing cards were scattered on the table. There were cigarette butts and melon seed shells everywhere on the floor. Everyone went to Lu Weidong's house to play cards. Lu Weidong usually entertained people.
People who are "boss" should not be too stingy.
After such a reply, everyone in the room was busy standing up. Only Lu Weidong could not sit still.
Gao Jie greeted everyone with a smile and came to Lu Weidong.
"Secretary Lu!"
Lu Weidong slowly stood up, shook hands with Gao Jie, and said with a smile: "Mayor Gao is back, thank you for your hard work!"
"fine!"
"Mayor Gao, please have a seat, please have a seat!"
Someone had already put away the playing cards on the table and pushed a chair over.
Today's Gao Jie is no longer the "little Comrade Gao" who first arrived in Fenglin Town. Even Secretary Lu was disgraced in front of her. Not to mention the ordinary town cadres, it is these deputy secretaries and deputy mayors. No one dares to "explode their wings"
”.
Gao Jie put the net bag on the table and said with a smile: "I am in a hurry to go back to the capital this time. I didn't bring anything with me. I just bought some candies. Please give it a try."
Lu Weidong smiled and said: "Okay, come, everyone, sit down and eat sweets together."
Gao Jie had just returned from the capital and arrived in the town at around nine o'clock. She came to visit him as soon as possible. The courtesy was very thoughtful, and Lu Weidong was quite satisfied. After all, he was a college student from a big city, and he was different from the mud-legged cadres who were born and raised in the country.
So seven or eight people sat around the table again. Lu Weidong's wife was busy bringing new tea to everyone and also sat down beside him.
"Mayor Gao, I have been back to the capital for a long time. How is the situation? Very optimistic, right?"
Lu Weidong took a toffee in his hand, but he couldn't eat it. He just played with it and asked with concern.
To be honest, Lu Weidong was very conflicted about the so-called plan to vigorously develop township enterprises and vigorously attract investment that Gao Jie and Fan Hongyu had concocted. It was not that he was unwilling to improve the economy of Fenglin Town, his hometown is in Fenglin Town.
, the town's economy has improved, and he is the most direct beneficiary, and it is a double benefit, and he can also gain a good reputation. The key point is that Lu Weidong feels that this plan is not reliable.
With such a foundation, can Fenglin Town be able to afford township enterprises?
Not to mention attracting investment, what big boss would be so crazy as to invest in a factory in a place like Maplewood Town, a place where no one cares about shit?
This plan is just a few pieces of paper with nice writing.
Yanhua City has not yet started in this regard. They are all state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises, which are in shabby shape. What qualifications does Fenglin Town have to be ahead of the city?
As a result, Gao Jie and Fan Hongyu actually went to the capital.
Lu Weidong also wants to know the outcome. If he is lucky, he can get some support funds back, which is also a good thing. At least it can alleviate the town's tight financial situation. Some temporary workers' subsidies were owed last year and have not been paid until this year.
It's complete.
Gao Jie had already thought about the answer to this question, and said with a smile: "Secretary Lu, it should be said that the situation is still very optimistic. The main leaders of the State Planning Commission have seen our plan and they approve it."
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate roar in the room, and many people looked surprised.
"Have the main leaders of the State Planning Commission approved your plan?"
Lu Weidong was also surprised and asked quickly.
Gao Jie made it clear that he was the main leader of the State Planning Commission, not the head of an ordinary department. He was an extraordinary big shot, a senior leading cadre who was on an equal footing with the provincial secretaries and governors!
Not only did they see Gao Jie's plan, but they also approved it?
"Yes, Secretary Lu. The leaders of the Planning Commission believe that our plan can be regarded as a useful exploration of new rural construction at this stage and should be given strong support. In terms of policy and funding, there will be some tilt!"
Gao Jie still said unhurriedly, with a hint of reserve on her face.
This is also a strategy of Gao Jie.
When reporting to prefectural and municipal leaders, you should naturally be modest and prudent and not get carried away. But in the town, you should not be too humble. Grassroots cadres don’t have so many twists and turns, and most of the time they are straightforward. The more humble you are, the more people will think you are.
You are timid and have no ability. It is better to move out the big shots from the State Planning Commission and suppress them all. It will be easier to carry out the work in the future.
"In the past few days, the Planning Commission was going to allocate special support funds to us...yesterday I received a call from Taisho, saying that the spring floods were ahead of schedule and the situation was critical. We couldn't wait. We were in a hurry.
Back."
Lu Weidong hurriedly said: "Hey, what does this little guy Dazheng know? He only knows how to lie about military information... It has rained heavily these days. But at this time in previous years, it was like this, so it's not a big deal. Just over there in Lijiatang
Please pay attention. I have already sent people to stay at the base. Why call you back in such a hurry? We need to get the funds first..."
By saying this, he really "wronged" Lu Dazheng. The call he gave to Gao Jie was made by Lu Weidong himself as instructed by Lu Dazheng.
The town is "in dire straits" and I, Lao Lu, are extremely busy. The two of you are enjoying your time in the capital, "talking about love." Your little life is so nourishing that no one will feel at ease.
Another point is that Lu Weidong is worried that if something happens and Gao Jie is not in town, the responsibility should be borne by him, the party secretary. Lu Weidong has no obligation to take the blame for Gao Jie.
But after hearing what Gao Jie said, Lu Weidong regretted it again.
If the support funds from the State Planning Commission were wasted because of this, it would be a huge loss.
"Yeah, the situation in the town doesn't matter yet. It doesn't matter if you come back a few days later..."
The other deputy secretaries and deputy mayors echoed.
It just so happened that tonight, almost all of the people gathered at Lu Weidong's house to play cards and entertain themselves were the main responsible comrades in the town. It could be regarded as an informal "Secretary and Mayor's office meeting."
"Well, Mayor Gao, how much funding do you think the State Planning Commission can allocate?"
Mayor Liu asked anxiously.
In his town, the person in charge of finance is more concerned about this issue.
Generally speaking, local finance departments are directly under the control of the government. This is the lifeblood and cannot be left to the hands of deputy officials. Even the party secretary and the chief executive will compete for this financial control. But Maplewood Town has bloated institutions
, the staff is seriously over-staffed, and there are a lot of deputy mayors. Everyone must be assigned a certain job, and they cannot be a hand-off shopkeeper.
Naturally, Gao Jie will not really leave the finance department alone. Mayor Liu does not have the decision-making power on major financial issues. Even Gao Jie cannot make the final decision alone and must discuss it with Lu Weidong. The more grass-roots government agencies, the more important the party is.
The less clear the political division of labor, the more ubiquitous the authority of the top leader.
Gao Jie smiled slightly and said, "I'm not sure how much it will be. I estimate it's around two hundred thousand."
Director Cao also revealed this to Gao Jie on the phone. Cao Junchen told Gao Jie that the national finances were very tight and people were asking for money everywhere. In terms of funds, they could not give too much to Fenglin Town. The key was to show support.
Attitude. Funding mainly depends on the province to find a solution. So Gao Jie reported a more conservative figure.
But two hundred thousand is already an astronomical figure for these cadres in Maplewood Town.
It should be noted that the total fiscal revenue of the entire Maplewood Town last year was only more than 30,000 and less than 40,000. It will be able to pay full wages and bonuses to regular cadres and employees. The wages of temporary workers can only be solved by pooling funds and writing IOUs.
Two hundred thousand is equivalent to the total income of Maplewood Town for six years!
"so much?"
Everyone was once again stunned, with expressions of disbelief on most faces.
I originally thought that Gao Jie and his wife could get twenty to thirty thousand yuan from the state ministries and commissions while they were "in love" in the capital, which would be a huge surprise. Unexpectedly, such a huge number came out of Gao Jie's mouth.
"Is it really 200,000? That's great. The temporary worker's salary is finally settled..."
Mayor Liu was overjoyed and said repeatedly.
Gao Jie frowned.
She doesn't want this money to come back to mend holes.!~!
