Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth not welcome (seeking the moon)
"No wonder, when I saw you riding in the car, you looked very familiar with Beijing. It turns out that your home is here. Do you want to go home and have a look first?" Wang Zhanpeng said to Lu Rui with a smile.
Lu Ruilan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he and Lin Ruolan actually had a villa when they returned to Beijing. It was a gift from Mr. Lin's wife when he returned home, but the two of them only lived there for a few days when they were newly married. Thinking about Lu Ruilan, Rui gave up on this... After thinking about it, Lin Ruolan is still in the United States, and she will live alone when she goes back. Besides, the villa is near Yuquan Mountain, and it would be too troublesome to go there.
Shaking his head, Lu Rui said: "Thank you, Wang Shuhuoji. No need to go to such trouble. Dian's wife is abroad and she has business to do."
Wang Zhanpeng said nothing more when he saw this.
Early the next morning, Lu Rui followed Wang Zhanpeng out. Sure enough, just as Wang Zhanpeng said, who in Beijing is very knowledgeable, not to mention the person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, even the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce and Economic Affairs There are not two people in charge at all. Local cadres at the deputy department level can be seen by the Ministry of Commerce. The two people have received a solid rejection from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce and Economic Affairs.
"Wang Shunongji, Lu Shunongji, it's really not that easy to make money..." Returning to the Beijing Office, Feng Zhong looked at the dejected Wang Zhanpeng and the expressionless Lu Rui, pretending to be Said: "Our office in Beijing is also unable to do anything. The current situation is that if you are not willing to spend money, you will not be able to get things done at all."
The so-called "running the ministry to make money..." means that local provinces, cities and counties use the network of their Beijing offices to "coordinate" among various ministries and commissions to achieve the purpose of obtaining projects and funds. As long as they work regularly, The money you want will come.
Regarding "making money from the ministry...", it has actually been "tacitly understood" in the minds of the Chinese people for a long time. Not only is it "tacitly understood", but also at the local level, it is a measure of whether a person or a certain leader has the ability to return to the ministry. It is an important manifestation of ability or political achievements. Anyone who can make money in the state, ministries, commissions, or other higher-level agencies is a capable person and must be reused. If he is not willing to be an official, ask him to Other requests... such as "sharing the money that came in," arranging for family members, children, relatives and friends, etc., were all promised by the local government and would be fulfilled.
And the money does not necessarily go to the local government. At the beginning, the government policy formulated by the local government was to give "rewards..." in proportion to the amount of money that came in, and generally no more than It was generous, and it also stipulated that travel expenses and other expenses would no longer be reimbursed. In order to fully reflect that "under heavy rewards, there must be brave men..." Some places later increased the rewards to Basata, or even Yao. They also said that even if they were given to him... We can still get the old money without "liquidating the original capital". The matter does not end here. In recent years, some people have taken all the funds that came to them and returned them to themselves. The method adopted is: allocate the money to their own capital. I have a good relationship with the company account or one I can manage, and then get some "documents for reimbursement". Some of these documents belong to the expenses I have already spent...and some are simply wig receipts.
In some places, neither "shares..." nor "bonuses" were paid, but a lot of expenses were reimbursed, and most of them were included in the reception fees. The inspectors asked why there were so many reception fees. These units Or the personnel of these units will answer plausibly: "It's used for funding, it's used for projects." Can the inspection personnel tell whether they are all real expenses? Even if they are real expenses, the inspection will not be carried out. Can the investigators say that all expenses are legitimate?
Regarding these irregular behaviors, to be precise, they are abnormal behaviors and corrupt behaviors. The local government committees and the local government have repeatedly requested disciplinary inspections and supervision, and the audit agencies have given the "green light" and stipulated that no It is strictly forbidden to investigate, but not to ask. If anyone does not comply, and must investigate and question, he or she will undermine the local economic construction, and he will not have good "fruit" to eat. This will make this behavior worse and worse.
Lu Rui once saw a report in later generations... In it, a representative publicly stated that he was "making money from the Ministry", which put a lot of pressure on the anti-corruption work. When will various places be stationed in Beijing? When the place is gone, we will return to the Qingming Festival.
And this involves the Liaison Office in Beijing. The so-called Liaison Office in Beijing is the office of the local government in Beijing. It is an agency of the government dispatched office. It mainly develops external relations and attracts investment. In terms of funding, the foreign affairs department's funding activities and the official reception of local officials' visits, such as Lu Rui and Wang Zhanpeng coming to Beijing to run projects... the Beijing Office will be responsible for the reception.
In addition, the Beijing Office is also responsible for some special tasks, that is, intercepting return visits. In recent years, local people often go back to Beijing to return visits due to matters that cannot be solved by the local government departments... This may damage the local government. department image, the second is that it is possible
àoSome shady stories about Guangshe Huihui. Local governments regard Huifu as a taboo, which is one of the reasons why some local government departments set up offices in Beijing.
It should be affirmed that since the reform and opening up, local offices in Beijing have played an important role in strengthening inter-regional cooperation, serving the economic and social development of the region, handling emergencies, and maintaining social stability. certain positive effect. However, in recent years, the Beijing Office
The problem of leakage is worrying. For example, abnormal expenditures are huge. In places like Qingjiang City, the annual entertainment expenses are as high as millions, which is equivalent to the entire financial income of a town with a population of tens of thousands; local competition for funds and projects It has formed a trend of besieging the central government, which has a great negative impact, is not conducive to the fair and correct allocation of resources and funds of the state department, and has seriously corrupted some state department officials. This has caused the central government to withdraw from the central government. Because of the concern of the leaders, in the next few years, the government ordered the cancellation of the unofficial Beijing Office within a time limit.
The Liaison Office in Beijing is an important executor of "running the department to make money". The reason why Lu Rui knows this is because Li Wenjing, Ou Wenhai's secretary, once worked at the Liaison Office of U Province in Beijing for a while. When the two of them were chatting, Speaking of the Liaison Office in Beijing, according to Li Wenjing, the job of the Liaison Office in Beijing is to give gifts and return official visits. When it comes to official return visits, it is to know the preferences of some official returnees well, and then according to them You can accompany them to play cards, travel, drink, listen to operas, or express calligraphy, painting, and antiques. Gifts don’t need to be expensive, or they will cause trouble to others, and they cannot be too cheap. The key is to give them what they like.
In fact, what Lu Rui and Wang Zhanpeng are doing now is "running the department". As for whether the money can enter the pockets of Qingjiang City, it depends on whether the two people can succeed.
"Wang Shunji, what should we do? There is no way to get back to the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission. It looks like we will return without success again." Liao Qiang, the deputy director of the Qingjiang Municipal Development and Reform Commission who followed Wang Zhanpeng and Lu Rui, said with a bitter face. He was responsible for submitting the plan to the National Development and Reform Commission, but he was stopped from leaving the house before he even entered the gate.
Wang Zhanpeng also had a gloomy look on his face. He seemed a little unwilling to do so, but there was nothing he could do.
"It would be great if someone could contact the Ministry of Finance. As long as they can pass our budget review, the National Development and Reform Commission will be able to let go." Feng Zhong said from the side. He also said this in the past few days. Following Lu Rui and Wang Zhanpeng around on projects, he also began to make plans at this time. To be honest, he didn't have much hope in reporting the trip of these two deputy secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee, or he didn't believe it at all. The two of them can accomplish it. Such a big project, especially now that Guojiajiang City is continuing to dismantle development zones, it would be a bit of a dream for Qingjiang City to accomplish it without the support of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. Posture.
Hearing Feng Zhong talk about the Ministry of Finance, Lu Rui's eyes lit up, he thought for a while and said: "When Director Feng returns, you mean that as long as you can get through the connections in the Ministry of Finance, this project can be run." Come down?"
Feng Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, Lu Shuji, the Budget Department of the Ministry of Finance is responsible for this matter. As long as they can agree to this matter, the rest will be much easier to handle."
Before Lu Rui could speak, Wang Zhanpeng said: "In that case, let's go to the Ministry of Finance to see if we can pass this hurdle..."
Lu Rui opened his mouth and simply closed it.
The next morning, Lu Rui and Wang Zhanpeng, plus Li Jiāng and Wang Zhanpeng's secretaries' replies, the four of them came to the Finance Department. After checking several people's work IDs, the guard at the reception desk at the Finance Department entrance allowed the four people to come. Go in, but only in the reception room
à.
"Provincial Qingjiang City? Well, a county-level city, right?" The guard looked at a few people with squinting eyes and asked strangely, with a tone of arrogance and disdain unique to those who returned from Beijing.
Lu Rui frowned and replied calmly: "Is there any problem?"
The man seemed a little dissatisfied with Lu Rui's attitude, and sneered: "No problem, it's just that based on your status, you have to wait half a year to see Director Chen of the Budget Department."
"You..." Li Jiāng couldn't help but say, but the man rolled his eyes and said: "There are so many people who come here every day to run projects and ask for funds. If they all meet like you one by one, what will happen to the leaders of the ministry?" Don’t be tired of giving feedback?”
After saying that, he picked up the phone and called back. After whispering a few words, he said: "You guys go, the Budget Department is on the fifth floor, but it's hard to say whether you can see anyone. "
Several people came to the building of the Ministry of Finance. The office building was very busy with people coming and going. When they arrived on the fifth floor, Lu Rui saw an office with the name Budget Department written on it.
After knocking on the door, Lu Rui and Wang Zhanpeng walked in together. Wang Zhanpeng asked: "Is Director Chen here?"
There is only one... person in the office, a young man in his early twenties, who is holding the microphone and talking: "I'll pick you up tonight and talk about it. I'll take you to Mǎi for the skirt you were interested in last time.
He raised his head and glanced at Wang Zhanpeng and Lu Rui: "Are you running a project? Put your things down and go back and wait for notification."
Lu Rui was stunned and thought to himself that we are here to deliver the budget plan. You must at least register before letting us leave. It would be too inhumane to let us leave just after putting down our things? He paused. After a pause, he said: "Comrade, we are from Qingjiang City, U Province. If there is any situation, we need to report to Director Chen."
The man waved his hand impatiently and said, "Where's all this nonsense! Everyone said they have special circumstances and the director is not available. You should leave quickly."
Then he turned around and continued chatting while holding the phone. Lu Rui clearly heard him saying into the phone: "It's okay, a few country bumpkins!"
For a moment, Lu Rui felt a fire burning in his chest! (To be continued
