Song Bingnan, accompanied by Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xie Jianjun, held a symposium with retired cadres from all over the city the next morning. Peng Yuanzheng did not participate in this symposium.
At 9:30 in the morning, his car drove into the main office building of Jiangbei University. After getting out of the car, he walked quickly to the office building. He wanted to have final "negotiations" with Zhang Chengkuan, the president of Jiangbei University.
He came on behalf of the Xin'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, so he naturally made an appointment in advance through official channels. With Song Bingnan's statement in front, Zhang Chengkuan did not put on any airs this time and directly agreed to hold talks with Peng Yuanzheng.
Song Bingnan has this attitude - at least it shows that during the several years when Song Bingnan served as governor, it was difficult for Zhang Chengkuan to make the relocation plan of Jiangbei University a reality. Jiangbei University is an institution of higher learning affiliated to the provincial government because it is a national key undergraduate college
In schools, the top leaders are often assigned to the deputy ministerial level, but this does not mean that Zhang Chengkuan can be separated from the leadership of the province.
Moreover, even if Jiangbei University is a university directly under the Ministry of Education, as long as the school is located in Jiangbei Province, the university's relocation plan will always be subject to the provincial and municipal government. The provincial governor Song Bingnan feels that the cost of relocation is too high, so he will not move for the time being.
If the conditions are met but the province does not support this, how can Jiangbei University be relocated?
If there is support from the central government, it would be possible to move out of Jiangbei Province and settle elsewhere, but can it still be called "Jiangbei University"?
Therefore, the relocation of Jiangbei University has basically come to nothing. The only thing Zhang Chengkuan can do now is to build a new campus and win the support of the local government in Xin'an City.
Jiao Nianke, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Jiangbei University, greeted him at the stairs on the second floor. He was a little surprised when he saw Peng Yuanzheng coming alone.
"Expedition Secretary, come alone?"
Peng Yuanzheng smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Jiao Nianke and say, "Secretary Jiao, on behalf of Secretary Xie of the Municipal Party Committee, I will first meet with Principal Zhang to listen to Principal Zhang's instructions and the specific operations. We will talk about it later!"
Jiao Nianke said "oh" and did not continue to "entangle", so he accompanied Peng Yuanzheng to Zhang Chengkuan's office. Zhang Chengkuan's office is on the second floor, at the east end. When he walked to the office, he followed him and took a look inside, even though he had heard about it.
, Peng Yuanzheng was still slightly shocked.
The first feeling is that it is big. The space is too big, like a spacious classroom. It should be connected by three or four ordinary offices. The windows are bright and clean. The floor is paved with marble, which can let in light.
The second feeling is luxury. The decoration of this office is quite luxurious in the current Xin'an City. There is a red carpet in the middle of the marble floor. From the door, you go straight to Zhang Chengkuan's luxurious desk. The place you enter is
There is a small reception area and two sets of leather sofas. Going inside, on the left is an indoor green plant space with shaped furnishings, while on the right is an oversized fish tank decorated on the wall.
Behind the boss's desk is a bookshelf wall, about ten meters long and nearly three meters high, which is antique and spectacular.
Peng Yuanzheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He is a well-informed person. He can assert that in Xin'an City, no one's office can be compared with Zhang Chengkuan's, whether it is a party or government leader or a business owner.
It is shocking that a university president enjoys such a huge and luxurious office. You probably cannot judge him as corrupt because of this, but no matter who he is, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Looking at this office, Peng Yuanzheng immediately understood why Zhang Chengkuan started to carry out large-scale construction after taking office.
Peng Yuanzheng and Jiao Nianke walked slowly on the red carpet, their expressions unchanged.
Zhang Chengkuan slowly stood up and came over, "Comrade Yuanzheng, come, please sit down."
The three of them sat on the sofa together, and Jiao Nianke quickly asked the school administrator to pour tea and water.
Peng Yuanzheng looked at the crystal clear bone jade porcelain tea cup in front of him, which must have been expensive. He suddenly felt a little irritable.
Hearing Jiao Nianke's slow "situation briefing", he felt even more irritated. He forced a smile, waved his hand and said: "Principal Zhang, Secretary Jiao, let's get straight to the point - I'll convey the city's attitude first, and then
After receiving the planning report for the construction of a new campus of Jiangbei University, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attached great importance to it and studied it carefully. The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee held two meetings to discuss it."
"We agree to support the construction of Jiangbei University's new campus. We will provide corresponding policy support and preferential measures in terms of land supply, overall planning, and supporting construction..."
Peng Yuanzheng said a lot, basically following the script. He came on behalf of the municipal party committee and the government, and he had to explain the city's attitude. But Zhang Chengkuan didn't feel very comfortable listening because he didn't listen to Peng Yuanzheng's "promise"
to financial matters.
Land, policies, etc. are important, but for Zhang Chengkuan, the most important thing is construction funds. His plan is to obtain a piece from the province, apply for a piece from the Ministry of Education, and let Xin'an City fill the remaining gap. Jiangbei University
This will allow you to build a new campus without spending a penny.
At the very least, Zhang Chengkuan was prepared to let Xin'an City provide the start-up capital.
"In short, if you need the city to do something, I will take the lead in organizing the relevant functional departments to connect with you. Secretary Xie said that the city will give the green light all the way and make every effort to ensure the construction of the new campus."
As soon as Peng Yuanzheng finished speaking, Zhang Chengkuan winked at Jiao Nianke.
Jiao Nianke smiled and said, "Secretary of the Expedition, there is no problem with the land. We have initially decided to place it within the Jian'an District. We have selected the place and asked the district and city to approve it as soon as possible. More importantly, we hope that the city will
We can allocate some funds so that we can start this project as soon as possible..."
This is asking for money directly.
Peng Yuanzheng sneered in his heart, but he said in surprise: "Secretary Jiao, Jiangbei University is building a new campus, why don't you save money and not allocate money?"
"The province is going through the process, and it may take some time to allocate funds. Therefore, my opinion is to first raise funds by ourselves and win support from the city. We will work on it first and start the project later. We cannot just wait and rely on it.
What do you want?" Zhang Chengkuan smiled calmly, waved his hand, and said stably: "Secretary of the Expedition will go back and talk to the Secretary of the Army, and just say it is what I want, and we hope that the city can support us in starting the project first."
"The city's economy has developed rapidly in the past two years, and its financial resources are abundant and wealthy. I believe the city has the financial resources. At the same time, by spending money to support universities to provide education, in the long run, Xin'an City will benefit."
"Principal Zhang, our city's financial foundation is weak and its capabilities are limited. If you rely entirely on the city's finances to support project construction, I personally think it will be very difficult because this is not a small amount." Peng Yuanzheng smiled and looked around.
Then he added, "Xin'an City is an old industrial city that is undergoing transformation and development. There are many places that need money in various aspects. Please forgive me for this, Principal Zhang and Secretary Jiao."
Originally, Peng Yuanzheng thought it didn't matter. It was the responsibility of Xin'an City to support the construction of the new university campus. Even if the city finance contributed some money, it was worth it. But after he saw Zhang Chengkuan's office, his mentality changed. He felt that Zhang Chengkuan promoted and led the so-called
The new campus construction project may be a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.
Once the province refuses approval or the project is unfinished due to various factors, the city will pay a heavy price.
When he thought of this, he had actually already become more vigilant.
Zhang Chengkuan was very unhappy when he saw that Peng Yuanzheng refused to talk. He was a deputy ministerial cadre, aloof and accustomed to saying the same thing. Not to mention Peng Yuanzheng, even Xie Jianjun, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he did not take seriously.
Zhang Chengkuan's face darkened. He suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Secretary of the Expedition, don't rush to express your position. Go back and report to the Secretary of the Jianjun Army and listen to the opinions of the Secretary of the Jianjun Army. Okay, let's talk about this today. I
There will be another meeting later - Nianke, you are responsible for liaising with the city. If you have any questions, you can talk to the Expedition Secretary, or you can talk directly to the Jianjun Secretary."
This is equivalent to a breakdown in talks.
Peng Yuanzheng also stood up, smiled lightly, glanced at Zhang Chengkuan's arrogant back, and smiled softly: "Okay, Principal Zhang, I will go back and report to Secretary Xie. Since Principal Zhang still has something to do, I will take my leave.
Already."
After saying that, Peng Yuanzheng did not drag his feet and walked away calmly.
Jiao Nianke hesitated for a moment, then chased after him.
…
Zhang Chengkuan did not take Peng Yuanzheng's words to heart.
But for several days, there was no response from Xin'an City. Jiao Nianke looked for Peng Yuanzheng on behalf of the university, but he couldn't find him. He said that it was the end of the year and he was very busy with work. He went to the construction site today and went to the grassroots tomorrow, and he couldn't even meet him;
Under pressure from Zhang Chengkuan, Nianke ignored Peng Yuanzheng and went directly to Xie Jianjun, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but was rejected several times. The holiday was coming.
Now, all aspects of the province need to be managed up and down. As the municipal party committee secretary, this is a must-do job. During the Spring Festival, Peng Yuanzheng and his wife returned to Beijing to celebrate the New Year and reunited with their children and their families. After the Spring Festival, Peng Yuanzheng
They will go back to Xin'an first, while Feng Qianru will stay in the capital to take care of her children. She has winter vacation and will not return until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
In fact, the couple originally intended to bring the two children to Xin'an to live for a period of time, but Mrs. Feng firmly disagreed. Now the two children are the treasures in the hands of the old lady. Without her permission, Peng Yuanzheng wanted to take them away.
Children are impossible.
…
On the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month, Gu Kaiming knocked on the door and walked into Peng Yuanzheng's office with a piece of information. He smiled and said: "Secretary Peng, the people from Jiangbei University have been unable to find you in the past two days, so they have been pestering me. This is their fault."
Please take a look at the submitted materials."
Peng Yuanzheng said oh, took it and threw it on the desk, but he smiled and said: "Lao Gu, don't worry about them for now - how are the procedures for building a new district-owned public hospital in our district?"
