The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Li Wujiang felt very sad when he heard these scoldings. This is the sadness of an era. But these sorrows cannot be blamed on these workers. They are full of affection for the factory and are also full of confusion about the future. How to change their understanding is the most important task at present. Although Li Wujiang thought very openly, he was also very depressed in his heart, so he found Du Youfa, Zhang Zhiqiang, and Zhou Zhengyi to drink together.

"Wujiang, the reform has not started yet, and the scolding continues. I don't think you should worry about this." Only Du Youfa dared to say this. Li Wujiang is now the deputy mayor, and Zhang Zhiqiang and Zhou Zhengyi dare not talk to Li Wujiang like this.

"There is no way, I am destined to worry like this. Reform always needs pioneers. As long as the four major enterprises can be reborn and the employees of the four major enterprises can keep their jobs, I will be scolded by thousands of words, so what's the harm." After Li Wujiang finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank a glass by himself.

"Mayor Li is a man who does great things, with a big vision and a big heart. I believe that these workers will thank Mayor Li in the future." Zhang Zhiqiang felt that although he could still drink at the same table with Li Wujiang, the gap between the two was getting bigger and bigger.

"I don't ask everyone to sing praises for me in the future, I just ask myself to have a clear conscience."

"Mayor Li, when he was working in Liuhe, many people didn't understand or even support him, but in less than two years, Mayor Li's goodness has been spread all over Liuhe. When they heard Mayor Li's name, everyone praised him. This is the Secretary Li in the minds of the masses. The people of Nandu City don't understand Mayor Li today, but they will be grateful to Mayor Li a hundred times in the future." Zhou Zhengyi said excitedly, because he was a witness to the glory of Liuhe. He admired Li Wujiang a hundred times.

"You two stop flattering your Mayor Li. He will win the hearts of the people in the future, but he is not happy now. Come on, tonight, brothers, let's get excited, and everyone will not go home until they are drunk." Du Youfa still has a way to liven up the atmosphere.

After drinking, Ning Xiaowei drove Li Wujiang back to his residence. On the way, they were stopped by a group of people, who threw eggs and stones at Li Wujiang's car. Ning Xiaowei wanted to get off the car to settle accounts with these people, but was stopped by Li Wujiang.

"Brother Li, these people are too rampant. I'll go down and give them a good beating." Ning Xiaowei was very angry. Such a thing has not happened since Liuhe, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen in Nandu City.

"Forget it, let them make trouble. After making trouble, they will leave."

"Brother Li, they are breaking the law. If it doesn't work, we will call the police. There will always be someone to take care of it." Ning Xiaowei was a little bit reluctant to swallow this breath.

"They are all workers in several factories. They know that the enterprise is going to be restructured, so they come out to complain. Why should we bother with them?" These people were still wearing factory uniforms, and Li Wujiang saw it at first sight.

"Brother Li, although I don't know what the reform is, I know you are helping them. You have been so worried about them, and these people still treat you like this, why should you bear this humiliation?"

"Xiaowei, you have to endure grievances when you work for the masses. If the masses don't understand, we can work to make everyone understand. If they don't understand today, I believe time will make everyone understand. If a cadre can't even endure this little grievance, how can he be a good cadre?"

Ning Xiaowei felt very bad when he saw Li Wujiang being wronged. It seems that the more glorious a person is, the more sin he has to endure.

The fact that Li Wujiang encountered eggs hitting his car on the way soon spread throughout Nandu City. Li Wujiang didn't need to think about it. This was spread by the workers who made trouble, just to embarrass Li Wujiang.

Du Gang originally thought that he would see an angry Li Wujiang, but he didn't expect that he would come to work with a smile.

"Mayor Du, have you heard that Mayor Li was frustrated?" Chai Jin ran to Du Gang's office specifically for this matter.

"Lao Chai, I see you've been quite idle lately, and you're planning to give up on the investment promotion work." Du Gang thought he was the deputy mayor, so he had to keep some bottom line in front of Chai Jin.

"Mayor Du, the Organization Department has started to recruit people in a big way, and I'm about to step down. Why should I continue to work?" Chai Jin is now complaining to the end.

"Lao Chai, don't have this mentality. The person hired from outside this time is the deputy director, and you are still the head of the investment promotion office, so you still have to grasp the work that needs to be grasped." Du Gang had no way to deal with his brother-in-law, but he still had to use Chai Jin, and he didn't have anyone else available at the moment.

"It's obvious that the higher-ups want to remove my position. I'm occupying the toilet without doing anything. If they kick me out, I won't look good."

"Who told you that? The municipal committee has never thought of removing you from your position. Just do what you should do. You can still be stumped by two outsiders. This is not like the old Chai I know. Don't worry, if there is anything, I, your old brother, will support you."

Chai came in just to hear what Du Gang said. Seeing that the Organization Department was vigorously recruiting and selecting the deputy director of the Investment Promotion Office, he was worried that he would be abandoned, so he deliberately came to Du Gang to test the waters. After getting Du Gang's support, he said that the leader had arranged it, and he would definitely stand his last shift.

"Director Qi, do you have any good news today?" Li Wujiang said to Qi Xianzhong with a smile.

After something like that happened, Qi Xianzhong was originally worried that Li Wujiang would be in a bad mood, but he didn't expect that Li Wujiang would be in a good mood. "Mayor Li, those workers are a group of people who don't know what's good for them. Don't be so mean to them."

"It's normal for workers to have their own ideas. If workers have complaints, it means that we as cadres have not done our job well. This spurs us to work harder, don't you think so, Director Qi?"

Qi Xianzhong originally wanted to comfort Li Wujiang, but he didn't expect Li Wujiang's consciousness to be so high. "Mayor Li is still at a high level, and he only cares about the masses. I came here today to report on the affairs of Zhongzhou Machinery Company."

"Oh, what's the latest progress of Zhongzhou Machinery Company?"

"According to your instructions, Mayor Li, we specially arranged for the deputy director of the industrial park to lead a team and stationed himself near Zhongzhou Machinery Company. According to their knowledge, Zhongzhou Machinery Company recently applied for approval of an excavator project in the capital."

Chapter 261 The bigger the official position, the better.

"Okay, this is good news. You should continue to keep an eye on it and report any news. At the same time, you should also open up internal relations and let the people of Zhongzhou Machinery Company feel the sincerity of the people of Nandu City."

The recent investment promotion activities in Baochang County have also brought good news. Wu Changqing rushed from Baochang County to Nandu City to report to Li Wujiang.

"County Magistrate Wu, after becoming the county magistrate, your style has become more and more charming." Li Wujiang was very happy to see his old colleague.

"Mayor Li, we are all old people, so what glory is there? Mayor Li, you are still young and promising." When Wu Changqing was the deputy secretary of Liuhe County, he was dissatisfied with Li Wujiang, but now he Li Wujiang was just grateful and admired.

"Okay, County Magistrate Wu, the two of us will stop flattering each other and letting outsiders see and laugh at us. Don't leave today. I'll call Chen Yu. It just so happens that Secretary Zhaoxiang is also having a meeting in Nandu. Today we old friends Liuhe people just have a good time gathering together.”

"Okay, I will follow Mayor Li's arrangements in everything. But today I am mainly here to report the good news to Mayor Li. After you went to Baochang County for investigation last time, we specially arranged for people to explore the graphite mines in our county. Experts were organized to carry out appraisals. Baochang County is indeed rich in graphite reserves and is also an important material for making metallurgical protective slag. Now that some local entrepreneurs know the value of these graphite mines, they want to invest in building factories. Steel has also extended an olive branch to these companies, saying that they will produce as much as they want. "

"Okay, Baochang is geographically remote and lacks good projects. If you can use this project to open a way out, it will be a good opportunity for the future development of Baochang County. County Magistrate Wu, you must seize the opportunity and support the local community." To become bigger and stronger, enterprises must not only meet the needs of Huayuan Steel, but also go global. With so many steel factories across the country, I believe the market demand is huge. Once it is opened, it will be a big market. "

"Yes, Mayor Li. You really have the Midas touch, and you have revitalized our Baochang County in no time."

"County Magistrate Wu, you are a bit ridiculous. I don't dare to take it."

That night, Li Wujiang, Wu Changqing, Feng Zhaoxiang, and Chen Yu, several old Liuhe people, sat together drinking and chatting happily. Although Wu Changqing, Feng Zhaoxiang, and Chen Yu were not Li Wujiang's people at the beginning, they even gave Li Wujiang a stumbling block when he first arrived in Liuhe. However, as we gradually worked together, Li Wujiang made everyone feel his personality charm. Li Wujiang relied on his own way of dealing with people to gradually draw a group of people closer to him. Feng Zhaoxiang felt the deepest. He was originally from Lu Zhenjun. Although he kept a certain distance from Lu Zhenjun, he had been deeply imprinted with the Lu Zhenjun faction. When Lu Zhenjun fell, he thought he was finished, but he didn't expect that Li Wujiang would continue to use him and promote him to the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee. This is Li Wujiang's personality charm. A person who does great things does things only for the things and not the people. There is no selfish motive in doing things, only treating people with a common heart.

"Zhaoxiang, Chen Yu, we want to thank Mayor Li. It is him who allowed us to see the glory of Liuhe, and it is he who allowed us Liuhe people to gradually come out. No matter where we go in the future, everyone should not forget Mayor Li. Thank you for your kindness to us." Wu Changqing drank too much, but he also expressed his loyalty to Li Wujiang through the drunkenness.

"Come on, Lao Wu and Chen Yu, let's report it together and thank Mayor Li." Feng Zhaoxiang is usually a very calm person, but today he was very open-minded.

This night, everyone was drunk, but very happy.

"Dad, Wujiang is encountering such difficulties in its restructuring, you have to help him."

"You kid, it's up to you to say this. Wujiang's future is still very bright. Although he has suffered some setbacks now, I believe he will be able to handle it." Zhang Changsheng is very optimistic about Li Wujiang and knows that this kid will not be there. Nandu fell, and he still had a long way to go.

"Now it seems that the bigger the official, the better. For people like him, the official is not small, but the work is also very tiring. After doing so much, many people don't understand." Zhang Zhiqiang has seen through the officialdom. In the past few years, he himself has risen through the ranks and became the youngest deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in Hualin County, but he became more and more tired as he worked.

"This is the difference between you and Wujiang. When Wujiang faces heavy pressure, he can bear the burden, just like the grass under a stubborn rock. Give him a fulcrum and he can move the whole rock. He will not be scared by difficulties. On the contrary, we will not retreat in the face of difficulties. On the contrary, the more difficult it is, the more we move forward. Hard work will lead to success, and you will eventually become a towering tree after hard work."

"This is too hard."

"Those who achieved great things in ancient times not only had extraordinary talents, but also had perseverance. Of course, those who achieved great things also needed helpers. Liu Bang could not establish the Han Dynasty without Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin; Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Without Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, and Wei Zheng, there would be no Zhenguan rule. If Wujiang wants to accomplish something, he needs a group of helpers. You must grow up as soon as possible to keep up with his development and help him. busy."

When Zhang Zhiqiang heard what his father said, he understood what he was going to do in the future. Li Wujiang is not someone who gives up easily. Although the restructuring has encountered setbacks, he will not give up until the goal is achieved.

The enterprise restructured and established a working group, with Zhou Ziliang as the group leader, Ding Zhongping as the executive deputy group leader, and Li Wujiang as the deputy group leader. In order to promote the smooth progress of the restructuring work, Li Wujiang organized a symposium with top leaders of the four major enterprises. Zhou Ziliang and Ding Zhongping did not attend because of something else.

Looking at the CEOs of the four major companies in front of him, Li Wujiang knew that the key to reform lay with these four people. If these four people agree, the reform will be half successful; if these four people disagree, the reform will be even more difficult.

"We have called you all back today to discuss the restructuring of enterprises. I believe you have also seen the resolution of the Municipal Party Committee. The four major enterprises have reached the point where they must reform. Today we mainly want to listen to your opinions and discuss the next step of restructuring. Do you have any opinions? Everyone can speak freely. ”

"Mayor Li, among these, I am the older one, so I will talk first." Qiao Yingde, the boss of Nandu Home Appliances, spoke first. Seeing Li Wujiang nodded, Qiao Yingde continued, "We agree with the enterprise reform, but our enterprise and its employees also have their own ideas on how to change it, and would like to report it to the municipal party committee and the municipal government. Our four enterprises have also worked for We have made great contributions to the development of Nandu. Although we cannot keep up with the times and there are problems with the development of enterprises, we also hope that the municipal party committee and the municipal government will not abandon our enterprises. "

Chapter 262 People’s hearts are different, key breakthroughs

Li Wujiang didn't answer and let the other three bosses express their thoughts. What the other three said was similar to what Qiao Yingde said. Li Wujiang felt that he was in trouble. It seemed that these people had communicated in private, otherwise their opinions would not be so consistent. This is not easy to handle. "You are all veteran cadres. You know the situation of the four major enterprises very well. I don't need to explain the situation in Nandu City, you can see it. The municipal party committee and the government have never wanted to give up your four major enterprises, let alone give up 10,000 yuan. Many employees. But the Nandu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government must take responsibility for these more than 10,000 employees and find a way out for them.”

"Mayor Li, we have long hoped that the municipal party committee and the municipal government can find a way out for our four major state-owned enterprises, but we must not privatize them. After foreign capital comes in, our enterprises will not be able to survive and our employees will be driven away. Why? Talk about it for the sake of the company and its employees." Li Dongwei, the boss of Nandu Textile, also firmly opposed the restructuring.

"Everyone can rest assured that the purpose of the restructuring is to revitalize the company and allow employees to stay. When we negotiate with investors, we will definitely put the interests of employees first. We cannot meet the requirements put forward by the municipal party committee and government We won’t welcome any requests.”

"Mayor Li, can we apply for financial support from the country and Huayuan Province? As long as there is national assistance, our companies will come back to life." Yang Qingsong, CEO of Nandu Cereals and Oils, said.

"Our country is also in the development stage, and its finances are not rich. All parts of the country have to wait for the state to solve the problem, so what do we need local cadres to do. Enterprise reform is not to kill anyone, but to revitalize state-owned assets. Withdraw from state-owned enterprises Holding shares may allow state-owned assets to appreciate more in the process of development. How to change the system, whether to withdraw completely or partially, this needs to be resolved step by step in the next step of specific negotiations. Only through negotiation can we find a good solution. If you keep letting it go, you will never find a solution." Li Wujiang saw that the three old men were more active, but Liu Fengmei from Nandu Medicine said little.

"Mr. Liu, please share your thoughts."

When Liu Fengmei saw Li Wujiang calling her name, she smiled and said, "Mayor Li, I know that the municipal party committee and government are forced to promote enterprise restructuring, and it is also for the sake of the four major enterprises." As Liu Fengmei was speaking, Qiao Yingde cleared his throat. It seemed to be a reminder of something. Liu Fengmei changed the topic and said, "Of course what the three company CEOs just said makes sense. After all, we have worked in the company for such a long time and have a certain relationship with the company. We still want to reform and we firmly support it. Yes, but should we reconsider how to reform the municipal party committee and the municipal government? Maybe there are better ways to solve the problems of the four major enterprises.”

Li Wujiang heard from Liu Fengmei's words that this woman supported reform and had different opinions from the three old men. But I couldn't say it in front of everyone. Li Wujiang thinks this is a breakthrough. If four of them can't work together, then break through one by one. "Enterprise reform is the general trend. The municipal party committee and the government will not wait forever. If you have any good ideas during this period, feel free to put forward them. This is the time when the Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers. If you have a better way to solve the problem of enterprise development, I am the first to express my support. If you can't find a better way, I hope you can support the municipal committee's decision. We are not only company bosses, but also state cadres, and we must obey orders." This is a form of strong pressure. If you can do it, you have to do it, and if you don't, you have to do it.

Li Wujiang held this meeting as both a symposium and a briefing session. No matter what, the general trend of restructuring cannot be stopped.

After the meeting, Qiao Yingde went to Li Wujiang's office to make a fuss, but Li Wujiang ignored him. Li Wujiang told him that this was the decision of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. If the trouble continued like this, don't blame himself for handing him over to Secretary Zhou. Qiao Yingde then left dejectedly.

No one expected that the CEOs of the four major companies had just returned. The next day, workers from major enterprises went to the gate of the Municipal Party Committee to stage a sit-in demonstration, demanding an explanation from the Municipal Party Committee. Looking at the situation of more than a thousand people outside, Jiao Fengnian was frightened. I haven't seen such a big formation in so many years. He immediately went to Zhou Ziliang's office to report.

"What, there is such a thing. I think these workers are lawless." Zhou Ziliang was also furious. The municipal party committee's resolution had just spread, triggering such a large strike demonstration. Zhou Ziliang regretted supporting Li Wujiang. This move will cause you to lose everything.

"Secretary Zhou, now that something has happened, the key now is how to calm down the incident and not let it get bigger and bigger. If this spreads to the higher ups, the impact will be bad." Jiao Fengnian reminded Zhou Ziliang all the time.

"Fengnian, you are right. You should immediately notify the bosses of these four companies and ask them to come and take away all their people."

At this time, Jiao Fengnian felt that Zhou Ziliang still kept things simple. Since there are so many employees here, there must be someone behind them, and the senior personnel of these four companies must not be able to escape. It is simply impossible for them to come and collect people at this time. "Secretary Zhou, let the four of them come over to pick up the person now. I'm worried that they won't be able to pick up the person."

Zhou Ziliang is also a smart man. After Jiao Fengnian reminded him, he understood what was going on. "This group of people will hold back the municipal committee if they can't do their job. Go and notify the standing committee members at home to come to the conference room for a meeting immediately."

Li Wujiang also saw the menacing situation outside from the window. He underestimated the mood of the four major companies. I originally expected the CEOs of these four companies to do a good job as employees when they returned, but I didn't expect that the work was not done well, but it was counterproductive. Li Wujiang was thinking of a solution, and Xi Yunhai notified Li Wujiang of a meeting. On the way there, Li Wujiang kept wondering whether Zhou Ziliang could withstand the pressure and carry out the restructuring.

Due to the urgency of the meeting, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Xiao Shanke, United Front Work Department Minister Hua Daomei, and the Military Region Commander did not attend the meeting because they were away on business.

"Comrades, everyone has seen the situation outside. Let's make a long story short. The purpose of today's meeting is how to calm the anger of employees outside." Zhou Ziliang got straight to the point.

"Secretary Zhou, I said at that time that the restructuring of the enterprise would definitely cause big troubles. Now that the restructuring has not happened, employees have already blocked the door of the Municipal Party Committee. If this is really implemented, it is estimated that there will be even bigger problems." Du Gang. It's time to start adding insult to injury.

Zhou Ziliang actually doesn't like people like this. The municipal committee's resolution has been passed, so what's the use of talking about it here now. "What we are going to discuss today is how to allow employees of these companies to leave in an orderly manner. We will not discuss other issues today."

Chapter 263 Decisive killing, demonstrating ability

"I suggest suspending corporate restructuring. Now the four major companies are not forced to reform. We can stop. Maybe the four major companies have other development opportunities." Du Gang seems to be fighting to the end with Li Wujiang.

Li Wujiang just watched quietly without speaking. He wanted to see how powerful the Nandu Municipal Party Committee team was.

"I agree with Mayor Du. It's too late to stop now. If something happens, it will be difficult to solve. If trouble occurs, we will be held accountable in the end." Propaganda Minister Xiang Youjun He also expressed his stance.

Leaders all spoke one after another, and most of them said they could suspend the restructuring and wait until the right opportunity to restart it.

Du Gang saw that Li Wujiang remained silent, and felt sad for this guy in his heart. The restructuring that had only been advocated for two days was about to die.

At this time, Zhou Ziliang also lost his bearings. This decision was of great importance. If he stopped the reform, it would be a disgrace to the municipal party committee. He was the leader of the municipal party committee. If he continued to implement the reform, the trouble he would face could be imagined. Seeing Li Wujiang there, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai without saying a word. Zhou Zi's conscience is also angry. It was you who caused the incident. It's impossible for you to stay clean. "Mayor Wujiang, please tell me. You are an advocate of restructuring and you have the most say."

At this time, the whole conference room was looking at this young man, some were watching whether he could turn the tide, and some were watching him make a fool of himself. Li Wujiang calmed down and said, "Leaders, no one wants to see such a thing happen. But it has already happened, and we should do everything possible to find a solution. The road to reform is not smooth sailing, and the road to reform will face various setbacks. So when we encounter problems, should we move forward bravely or avoid them? These are two attitudes. The Standing Committee meeting just passed the enterprise reform, and the enterprise employees went to the Municipal Party Committee to make a fuss, and we changed our opinions. Where is the authority of the Municipal Party Committee? It will be a joke if it gets out. If we stop the reform today, will the problems of the enterprise be solved? Will the future of the employees be settled? No. Therefore, we should strengthen our confidence and promote reform to the end, so that the four major enterprises will have hope and the development of Nandu City will increase momentum."

The various Standing Committee members saw that Li Wujiang was still so determined to promote the reform. Some admired his courage, and some thought that he would not turn back until he hit the wall.

"Comrade Wujiang, you have said so much, and now the key is how to solve the problem of employees besieging the Municipal Party Committee." Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Luo Jiachuan asked.
