Chapter 18 Executive Meeting

Seeing that no one answered the question, Gao Zhetang continued: "Isn't this too amateurish about road design and construction? The manhole cover on the road is several centimeters higher than the road! Is this due to ignorance or negligence?

We turn a blind eye to the serious flaws, and no one thinks of correcting them? What do you people do for a living? Just muddle along and live without doing anything in your position?!"

Gao Zhetang's words became more and more severe, and his anger became more and more intense. No one dared to look at him, and no one dared to answer his questions.

The subordinates stood there and began to rub their feet and hands, but they didn't know how to ease the tense atmosphere in front of them. Everyone had embarrassing smiles on their faces like a child who had done something wrong.

"Comrades, we should not just sit in the office and act like officials, reading newspapers, drinking tea and reading documents. We should come down and walk around more often, do some research and research, and see how to improve our work."

Gao Zhetang glanced around again and started naming names, "Director Cao, take a look, how do we carry out urban planning? This is simply an international joke! Does your Urban Planning Bureau understand planning? Can you manage it?

?”

As soon as Gao Zhitang finished speaking, Cao Bin, the director of urban planning, suddenly felt the pressure doubled. His face suddenly turned pale and there was no trace of blood, as if he was seriously ill.

In the officialdom, there are many times when a unique kind of thinking is needed - there are never friends and enemies, and there is no right or wrong, only giving and taking. Thinking of this, Cao Bin coughed, cleared his throat, and said softly to Gao Zhetang

: "Mayor Gao, it's like this. These excavated roads are for road widening and greening belts, which can not only beautify the environment but also improve road traffic efficiency. As for those demolished houses, they are for Omi Grand Theater

To make space, harden the road surface after demolition, expand the use area of ​​the Grand Theater, and build a parking lot. Moreover, these old houses also affect the beauty of the Grand Theater and the surrounding environment. However, these projects were later delayed due to lack of funds, resulting in the current construction.

The situation of construction stopping and stopping..."

In fact, Cao Bin is very clear about these situations like everyone else. He understands that in addition to the lack of funds, there are some complicated reasons behind the delay of the project. In short, it is difficult to explain in one sentence, but he can only say this, otherwise

What should I say? Besides, the new mayor is not only an expert in economics, but also an expert in urban construction. He naturally understands the reason, and everyone understands it tacitly.

These road maintenance projects in Omi City are not contracted to serious municipal engineering companies, but are contracted to various political interest systems, and house demolition projects are also contracted to so-called professional companies.

The relevant project funds have been allocated by the Department of Finance for a long time, but they are just putting off doing it, and no one in the city has stepped up supervision and supervision. If you can meet the people in this regard, the background is very strong, and no one will ask for trouble.

In the final analysis, even if the current managers want to control it, they are unable to do so. Let alone enforcing the law, the above-mentioned notices will come down, and there is no way to carry out such work.

Such a municipal infrastructure project is a piece of meat. If there is any relevant dynamic information, many people will flock to it with great enthusiasm and use all their strength to win the bid. However, after those people contracted the project, they did not want to

After a while, he turned around and outsourced the project to others, but the project payment was withheld, which made it difficult for the second- and third-level contractors to carry out the work, and the project continued to be delayed.

Nowadays, contracting projects are all about relationships. Some units or self-employed individuals who have no qualifications or even know nothing about municipal projects just mess around after receiving the project. Problems such as the road manhole cover being higher than the road surface are caused by some Caotai team engineering teams. These are all

It's an open secret in Omi City, and everyone knows it, but they just don't say it out loud.

Cao Bin is not a fool, and he will not tell the real reasons behind the scenes to avoid offending others. To be fair, Cao Bin, director of the Urban Planning Bureau, is disgusted with these abnormal phenomena in his heart, but these words can be said by others,

But it couldn't come out of his mouth.

After hearing the explanation from Cao Bin, director of the Urban Planning Bureau, Gao Zhetang frowned, thought for a moment, and softened his tone and said: "I don't mean to deliberately embarrass everyone today, but this chaotic situation must be resolved and corrected immediately.

Everyone has their own children, and each family is responsible for its own affairs. The relevant departments must take responsibility for the problems involved in which department and quickly solve the matters within their own scope of responsibility. If you have any problems or difficulties,

If you need any help, just tell me and talk to me. I will immediately make a decision to help you solve the matters within my scope of authority. If you neither ask questions nor do practical things, then I will hold you accountable...

…”

Gao Zhetang paused, then continued, "We may still have many similar problems in Omi City. Today we are going to set an example through this on-site office meeting. We must draw inferences from one example, improve work efficiency, and replace people without changing our minds. These

The problem cannot be delayed any longer and must be resolved within a deadline!”

Gao Zhetang said as he waved his hand vigorously, as if he wanted to sweep away some unreasonable phenomena and troubles in front of him...

That night, Omi City TV Station made a special report on Gao Zhitang's case of leading municipal cadres to the People's Park for investigation and research, on-site work to solve traffic bottlenecks, and scientific planning of urban construction work. As for the actual traffic situation, the matter was briefly mentioned.

Executive Deputy Mayor Ma Zhanxiang learned that Gao Zhetang personally led a team to conduct inspections and surveys in the city. He was very dissatisfied with Gao Zhetang's on-site office instructions and this approach. He believed that Gao Zhetang did not understand the actual situation, made decisions in a hurry, and denied everything.

He deliberately wanted to embarrass himself, make himself unable to get off the stage, and make him angry.

When making this series of planning decisions, the city held several meetings, and the province also approved a series of projects such as the theme park in Omi City. This was a project supported by the province. Why did Gao Zhetang just cover it like this?

.

For a moment, Ma Zhanxiang even had the urge to have a loud quarrel with Gao Zhetang face to face, but then he thought, what would be the benefit of doing this? It can only vent his emotions, but it will not change anything.

He tried hard to adjust his emotions and try to keep his tone calm. He thought to himself that the traffic bottleneck of People's Park and the confusion of project planning involved all aspects of the relationship. They were so intricate that they had become a dead end. No matter how

I can't even solve it. I wonder if Gao Zhetang can come up with any good ideas?!

He thought for a while and was about to pick up the phone when the call came in.

The call came from Song Zhigao: "Brother Xiang, this is Supreme! The theme park project has been cancelled? Our company undertook the construction of that project, and now it's canceled with just one sentence? Then wouldn't our work have been in vain?

Did it happen? All our early investment was in vain?"

Ma Zhanxiang was so angry that he had nowhere to go: "You know how anxious you are now? What have you been doing?! I told you to hurry up and finish the project as soon as possible. If it is completed early, it will become a fait accompli. Gao Zhetang just wants to change it." It can’t be changed, but you just don’t listen and keep putting it off like this. It’s not like the project money hasn’t been paid to you, so I don’t know what you’re up to.”

Song Zhigao said condescendingly, "Brother Xiang, I know I was wrong. Because the stall was so big, I was short of funds on my books, so I temporarily moved the project funds to other projects. I will definitely change it in the future." ?!"

Ma Zhanxiang was not in a hurry to continue. He thought for a while, looked calmer, and softened his tone a lot, and said: "Old Song, don't be anxious, the matter is not irreversible. You are like this... "

After hanging up Song Zhigao, Ma Zhanxiang didn't waste a moment. He skillfully picked up the red confidential phone next to him and dialed a number: "Governor Shen, hello..."

On the morning of the next Monday, Gao Zhitang's municipal government hosted his first municipal government executive meeting after coming to Omi City. The entire meeting had only one theme, which was to discuss solving the traffic bottleneck problem in People's Park.

Gao Zhetang said straight to the point at the meeting: "Two days ago, we conducted some inspections and surveys on urban construction and traffic management. The situation is not optimistic. The traffic bottleneck at the People's Park intersection and the problems of chaotic urban construction planning are particularly serious, which should be caused Although we have stopped paying attention to it, the problem has not been fundamentally solved. Today's meeting must cut the knot quickly and come up with a rectification plan to effectively solve this problem."

Executive Vice Mayor Ma Zhanxiang asked knowingly: "Mayor Gao, are there any problems with transportation and urban construction work in Omi City? As far as I know, traffic problems are a common problem faced by every large and medium-sized city. This situation is not It is unique to Omi City and has been like this for many years. There are definitely problems, but I think they are not as serious and urgent as we imagined."

The leaders of the municipal government departments who attended the meeting were a little surprised when they saw that the two main leaders of the municipal government started to push their bullshit and expressed tit-for-tat opinions as soon as the meeting started. The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. Everyone was excited. There was silence, no one spoke.

In Gao Zhitang's view, Omi City's traffic bottleneck problem has reached a point where it cannot be delayed and must be solved immediately. The city's traffic situation is related to the convenience of citizens' lives and the hard environment for economic development. This is no small matter! But Gao Zhetang was secretly surprised that Ma Zhanxiang, as the executive deputy mayor, treated the situation with indifference.

Gao Zhetang never expected that the executive deputy mayor of a city would have such an attitude. He was so choked by Ma Zhanxiang's hidden words that he couldn't speak for a long time!
