At the Standing Committee of the Heming Municipal Party Committee, Lu Rui looked at Yu Yun: "Director Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Yun had no expression on his face. After hearing Lu Rui's question, he smiled softly and nodded, "The secretary's idea is very correct, I agree."
Mayor Bai Dongxu also nodded and said, "I also agree with the secretary's opinion and temporarily put the problems of Salon District and Huajian District."
Lu Rui certainly knew why they said that. This matter was a mistake from the previous team. Now that he wanted to wipe their butts, the two of them naturally would not object.
The other members of the Standing Committee saw that the three bigwigs had reached an agreement, so they naturally would not say anything. Even though Li Yajie was a little dissatisfied, he could only bear it when he saw Lu Rui's serious expression. However, he thought in his heart that he must go to the municipal party committee to find Secretary Lu to report the situation after the meeting ended.
After gently opening the notebook in front of him, Lu Rui glanced at it and said, "Since I talked about the issue of economic planning and development, I will say one more thing."
Lu Rui looked at Bai Dongxu with his eyes: "Mayor, do you know the city's financial difficulties?"
Bai Dongxu was stunned, then nodded and smiled bitterly: "Secretary knows too? Alas, it's difficult to be the head of the country, and it's difficult to be in trouble."
Lu Rui nodded deeply and said, "Yes, outsiders think that our government must make money every day, but who knows our difficulties? Last time I went to the Finance Bureau for a meeting, I heard that the Finance Bureau actually hid in the toilet in the office in order to avoid those cadres sent by the subordinates to ask for money. This is not something worth laughing about."
After a pause, Lu Rui looked at Bai Dongxu and said seriously: "I mean, since our city has some financial difficulties at present, then should we avoid the issue of investment when formulating economic development plans? We should focus on improving agriculture, industrialization, and building pillar industries. We should focus on how to improve people's living standards and quality of life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yifan's expression changed suddenly. For some reason, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"What the secretary said makes sense, we should really save money." Bai Dongxu didn't think so much. What Lu Rui said was indeed reasonable, and he was also considering the current situation in Heming City. Of course he agreed.
"Since that's the case, then the government and the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office will organize an audit team. Those projects that are not very anxious should be stopped for the time being and use the limited funds to key places. The old saying goes, good steel is used on the edge. Our family is rich now, but there is no surplus grain at home. This is not a good sign. If we really use money, we can't go to the provincial capital to ask our grandpa and grandma, right?" Lu Rui said to the other members of the Standing Committee with a smile.
The Standing Committee members were silent for a while, obviously knowing that Secretary Lu was changing his thinking. The future development ideas of Heming City must be different from those when the old secretary Yu Yun was in power.
"Secretary Lu, I have a little different view on this issue." Qiao Yifan didn't care about waiting for others to express his opinions and took the lead in speaking: "Dear leaders, I don't think it's overcorrect in terms of economic development direction. Although there are some problems in our Heming City, I don't think this can be a reason for us to change the direction of development. If a city's economy wants to develop, it still needs to have appropriate investment as the basis. At present, in the entire Songjiang Province, the infrastructure construction of our Heming City has always been the leader, which is why our investment promotion results have always been better than other brother regions. With this good investment environment, we have achieved today's results. So if we don't take advantage of the time when the image of the city is suitable for investment in the eyes of investors and focus on investment, a few years later, our infrastructure construction will lag much behind others. At that time, we will suffer losses!"
Lu Rui frowned. What does this Qiao Yifan mean? Could it be that he would oppose his proposal?
He listened to Qiao Yifan continuing: "Now the central government is vigorously advocating the development of old industrial bases. Of course, our Heming City is also in this plan. Although there are some financial difficulties now, we can't stop doing business just because we have no money? How can we stop urban infrastructure construction because of insufficient funds?"
"Mayor Qiao, then what do you think we should do?" Lu Rui did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at Qiao Yifan who had just talked.
Qiao Yifan said proudly with a smile: "I want me to say that we can use some relationships, and we can contribute money to everyone who has money and strong efforts to find leaders who can speak in the provincial party committee or central departments, and ask them to help us find some projects. We can use financial channels and private channels in financing. In short, we cannot ignore the investment issue, and we cannot go in the wrong direction! This is a matter of principle and we must stick to it!"
"Yes, Mayor Qiao's words make sense, and I think it's right." The person who spoke was Propaganda Minister Wang Zhiyi.
Lu Rui frowned. According to his thoughts, if Wang Zhiyi was really close to Li Yajie, it seemed that he shouldn't have jumped out at this time.
The speeches at the Standing Committee were actually in a ranking order. Among the 11 Standing Committee members of Heming City, Zhang Zaihao, the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, should have spoken first. However, Qiao Yifan suddenly spoke, which made Zhang Zaihao feel relieved. After all, he really didn't want to take sides before he understood the thoughts between Yu Yun and Lu Rui. Although Zhang Zaihao knew that it would be a matter of time before he could continue to stay in the position of secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee.
Seeing the remarks of Wang Zhiyi and Qiao Yifan made Secretary Lu frown, Zhang Zaihao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Mayor Qiao, Minister Wang, I think you have made a mistake? Secretary Lu just said that the economy of Heming City does not focus on investment in the future, but rather has to focus. Everyone is very clear about the situation in our city. The finances are very tight, and it is even stretched. The construction of the new city built by Huajian and Sharon is now a bottomless pit, constantly throwing money into it, but not seeing any results. In this case, no matter how much investment is, it is a drop in the bucket. Therefore, under such conditions, Secretary Lu proposed to put these two issues aside and only discuss things other than these two issues, which is scientific. Our economic development plan must be made, and this has a time effect and cannot be delayed. As for the investment you mentioned, do you understand this issue beyond today's discussion?"
The person who talked about it was unexpectedly Mayor Bai Dongxu.
As mayor, Bai Dongxu's words were well organized and his analysis was very clear. He made Wang Zhiyi and Qiao Yifan blush. The two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke again.
Lu Rui frowned. The provincial party committee demanded the implementation of the deliberation system, mainly the party committee meetings of various local governments, spoke in an orderly manner and in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism. However, there seems to be no such rule on the Standing Committee of Heming City. Everyone speaks as they want to say it, without considering the result at all.
From this point of view, the problem in Heming City has existed for a long time. The most important thing is that everyone is not so afraid of their new secretary.
After Bai Dongxu's speech, the direction of the Standing Committee suddenly changed. Everyone expressed support for the government's plan. They also believed that Lu Rui's method of putting aside the problem was scientific and that it was a correct decision that was made after comprehensively considering the actual situation of Heming City.
Lu Rui's eyes swept over the members of the Standing Committee, making it impossible to see what he was feeling. To be fair, after Lu Rui came to Heming City, he didn't do much, and spent most of his time understanding the situation and attending meetings. However, after all, he is the secretary of the municipal party committee, the top leader of the party committee, and a cadre who is highly valued by the provincial party committee. Under such circumstances, even if he disagrees with Lu Rui, the Standing Committee members dare not be too presumptuous when he spoke at the Standing Committee.
Lu Rui glanced at Wang Zhiyi and Qiao Yifan. The performance of these two people today was too strange. Although it seemed a bit understandable, in fact, they were provoking the authority of themselves, the secretary.
In this way, my plan is about to change, and the Heming Municipal Party Committee team should move, or in other words, some people need to wake up in this team.
After pondering for a while, Lu Rui began a summary speech under the anticipated eyes of everyone: "Comrades, what Minister Wang and Deputy Mayor Qiao said just now is very reasonable, which gave me a lot of feelings. I have been in Heming City for a relatively short time, and I don't understand many situations thoroughly. At this time, I need everyone to help check for the shortcomings and fill in the gaps. Let me think this is the case. Regarding the issues of government construction, we will continue to discuss the economic development of Heming City. The economic development of our Heming City is among the best in the province, and the urban infrastructure construction naturally cannot be lagging behind. I think the municipal government has formulated a plan to build roads in every village within the city and counties some time ago. This is a very good project. It is conducive to economic construction and can also help the lives of the people. I think such a project should be strongly supported!"
Finally, Lu Rui smiled and said, "Let's do it, the government will study it carefully. Mayor Bai, you will take the lead. I will also attend the government office meeting if there is time. Let's discuss a solution."
From beginning to end, his face was very calm, as if he was sincerely concerned and agreed with the suggestions of Qiao Yifan and Wang Zhiyi.
Qiao Yifan and Wang Zhiyi couldn't help but move. The two of them exchanged their gaze intentionally or unintentionally, but they were more alert to the young new secretary. You should know that the speech of the two people just now was actually slapping Lu Rui in the face. Logically speaking, Lu Rui should be furious, but Lu Rui praised them seriously.
This new secretary is not simple!
