The pursuit of a position in officialdom

After a moment of silence, Yang Xiao continued, "Director Li will deliver an important speech next."

"Hello, fellow workers of the Aviation Power Machinery Company. Just now, Mr. Yang asked everyone to applaud to welcome us, but no one applauded. This means that everyone does not welcome us. It doesn't matter. Secretary Jiang and I are here today to listen to everyone and help everyone. Solve the problem. I believe we will be welcomed by everyone again in the future.”

"Director Li, our factory has not paid wages for two months. The young and old at home are waiting for this salary to eat. Will the company go bankrupt? Will our workers be laid off? Will the provincial and municipal party committees care about us?" A worker It means that the mood is a little excited.

"Dear fellow workers, the Aerospace Machinery Power Company has made outstanding contributions to the development of Suizhou City and the development of our country's aerospace industry. You have been fighting on the front line of the aerospace industry. You are the heroes. As the leader of the municipal party committee, the Aerospace Machinery Company When encountering difficulties, I did not solve them immediately. Our municipal party committee has the responsibility. However, this is a pain in the development of market economy. If an enterprise wants to develop, it needs to transform and upgrade, integrate with the market, and win new development opportunities. The Suizhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will guide aviation machinery companies to improve their technical equipment capabilities and open up new demand markets, thereby leading aviation machinery companies out of difficulties and towards glory. "

Jiang Guohua is a very good speaker, his words are very provocative and he can infect everyone. But he used the wrong place. These workers are now crying for food and are in urgent need of rice and food to cook. At this time, no one can listen to the nonsense being said here.

"Secretary Jiang, no matter how good the future you describe is, we must solve the current problem of hunger among our workers. We all don't have enough to eat or wear, so what else can we do to create a bright future for the aviation machinery company?"

"Yes, Secretary Jiang, please say something practical. If you don't help us solve the problem today, we will continue to report it to our superiors. Director Li, on behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, you said it is wrong for us workers to ask for their own wages. ?"

Jiang Guohua was a little embarrassed and a little angry when he saw that everyone didn't agree with him. He smiled helplessly at Li Wujiang.

Li Wujiang thought that if he didn't express his position, this scene would never end. Li Wujiang cleared his throat and said, "Dear workers, food, clothing, housing and transportation are necessary for everyone. Not having enough food, clothing and warmth is not the purpose of our social development, nor is it what the provincial and municipal committees want to see. When encountering such a problem, The Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee actively helped the aviation machinery company overcome this difficulty. During the revolutionary period and the construction period of New China, the aviation machinery company made great contributions to the development of my country's aerospace industry and received support from leaders from all walks of life at the central, provincial and municipal levels. Praise. We have all gone through hardships, and the Aerospace Machinery Company has encountered difficulties again. I believe that the employees of the Aerospace Company will continue to carry forward the spirit of astronauts in difficult times, not being afraid of hardship, not being afraid of fatigue, and daring to work hard and strive for the first place. Shouting slogans cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone. Secretary Jiang and I are here today just to solve the current and future problems of the aerospace company. Now it is a market economy, not a planned economy. Enterprises must be independent and responsible for their own profits and losses. If there is more competition, everyone will make more profits, and if they earn less, everyone will get less. This is the rule of the market, and this is survival of the fittest. So what should an aviation machinery company do when faced with this situation? Should it be eliminated by the market or should it comply with the market? Continuous reform and innovation will lead to new development opportunities. Of course, at the beginning of the reform, the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee helped the company for a while, but sooner or later the government will let go, and the development of enterprises ultimately depends on themselves. We hope that Aviation power machinery companies can innovate themselves, continue to innovate, accelerate transformation and upgrading under market economy conditions, and carve out a new path for the aviation industry.”

Li Wujiang's astronaut spirit deeply stimulated the aerospace company employees present here, and Li Wujiang's words also stirred everyone's hearts. When Li Wujiang left the aerospace company, he felt that he had said a bit too much. After all, he was just a secretary. It seemed that he had not completely changed his role.

Chapter 377 Establishing a modern enterprise system and promoting enterprise transformation and upgrading

"Wujiang, you said it very well. The spirit of astronauts is really inspiring." Jiang Guohua praised Li Wujiang.

"Secretary Jiang, what we are talking about today is spiritual food, which can only solve temporary problems. How to solve the food and clothing of the workers is what needs to be considered at the moment; how to completely solve the development dilemma of state-owned enterprises is a problem that both Suizhou and Jining must solve. "

"Wujiang, let's go, let's go have a meal first. You have been busy all day for the affairs of Suizhou City. Only when you have a full meal can you make better plans for the development of Suizhou."

"Secretary Li, the matter in Suizhou seems to be quite big." Miao Chengyi applied eye drops to Jiang Guohua in front of Li Weiguo.

"Oh, why does the secretary-general feel this way?" Li Weiguo asked, squinting in the car.

"Suizhou Aerospace Power Machinery Company is a well-known company in Jining. It made great contributions to my country's aerospace industry in the past. Now the aerospace company is encountering problems in business survival. As an old industrial base in Suizhou, other companies are expected to have a hard time. It’s not easy. Over the years, our province has been vigorously advocating to speed up corporate restructuring and adapt to the development of market economy as soon as possible. It seems that Jiang Guohua’s thinking has not changed, and it is still the same old management method.”

Tang Jiahe saw Li Weiguo's face change after hearing Miao Chengyi. Tang Jiahe has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he also knows the tricks in the officialdom. Suizhou can be placed as the first stop, which shows that Li Weiguo attaches great importance to Suizhou, or to Jiang Guohua. Although after the incident in Suizhou, Li Weiguo immediately left his secretary in Suizhou to deal with the problem, which shows that Li Weiguo did not want the matter to expand. Thinking of this, Tang Jiahe had an idea, "Secretary-General, the reform of state-owned enterprises is a problem faced by all parts of the country. There is no unified standard in the country on how to change and where to change. Now it is a market economy. As a government, we can Guide enterprises to speed up the establishment of modern enterprise systems and promote enterprise transformation and upgrading. However, enterprise problems must ultimately be solved by the enterprises themselves, and they cannot blindly rely on the government for blood transfusions. Such enterprises will not be able to grow big or strong when the market storm comes. At that time, it will also be eliminated. Therefore, I think the situation encountered in Suizhou City is not just a matter of Suizhou, but also something that all regions of Jining will face. The so-called early exposure, early detection, and early resolution of Suizhou Aerospace. The exposure of the Power Machinery Company is not necessarily a bad thing. It has also sounded a warning to us in the development process of Jining. How to help enterprises resolve crises and overcome difficulties may be a problem that our current provincial party committees and municipal committees need to solve. "

Tang Jiahe's long article surprised Miao Chengyi. In his eyes, this deputy governor who is not only a member of the Standing Committee has always been unknown and low-key, but why has he suddenly become high-profile?

However, Li Weiguo looked at Tang Jiahe with admiration. He did not expect that the deputy governor who was responsible for agriculture and education had some good insights into industrial development. "Governor Tang is right. Our Jining Province is an old industrial base with many state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises. Facing the tide of market economy, many business managers have not yet adapted their thinking to the requirements of market economy development and blindly wait and rely on demand. , cannot proactively adapt to the market economy, and as a result, it will eventually be eliminated by the market. How to resolve the crisis and how to revive the glory of the old industrial base are the problems we need to solve at present. I remember that I talked with Comrade Wujiang, and Comrade Wujiang’s thinking was this. Very broad, he said that our old industrial base in Jining once made an indelible contribution to the development of the country, and our people will always remember it. But now our old industrial base in the Northeast has fallen behind, and our enterprise development has encountered difficulties. , the development of our northeastern provinces has stalled, what should we do when encountering this situation? Our northeastern provinces must re-raise the banner of revitalizing the northeast, ask for policies from superiors, stimulate the fighting spirit of the people of the province, and ignite the enthusiasm of the people of the province. , vigorously promote enterprise restructuring, engage in investment promotion, establish the concept of project as king, and promote the revitalization of Jining.”

Miao Chengyi and Tang Jiahe were very shocked when they heard Li Weiguo relaying Li Wujiang's thoughts. They did not expect that Li Wujiang, a young secretary, could have such a big situation and consider regional development. The concept and banner of Northeast Revitalization are really amazing. .

"Secretary Li, after listening to what you just said, my confidence suddenly doubled. I believe that with your leadership, Jining will definitely regain its former glory. Jining will definitely be revitalized, and Northeast China will also be revitalized." Tang Jiahe lost no time in speaking. Words of praise.

Li Weiguo showed a long-lost smile, "Secretary-General, after this inspection and research, our provincial party committee team will organize an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee and discussion activities with the theme of revitalizing Jining and developing Jining's old industrial base, so that everyone can work hard for Jining. Ning’s development.”

Miao Chengyi originally wanted to use the Suizhou incident to put pressure on Jiang Guohua, but he didn't expect that Tang Jiahe would appear halfway and be resolved like this.

In order to show that he valued Li Wujiang, Jiang Guohua almost called all the team members to have dinner with Li Wujiang that night. It was so bad that Li Wujiang didn't even dare to go. Only the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor could fight such a battle. No other provincial party committee leader would have such treatment.

Although there were flaws in Suizhou City's work, Li Wujiang still admired Jiang Guohua's ability to unite. At the wine table, Li Wujiang could see that Suizhou Mayor Guo Fan and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Li Ao listened to Jiang Guohua's arrangements, which showed the ability of a leader.

That night, Jiang Guohua and Li Wujiang had an in-depth conversation. In order to realize Li Weiguo's ambition, Li Wujiang imparted a lot of his experience to Jiang Guohua. On the one hand, he suggested that the Suizhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government should continue to support the aviation machinery company and ensure that workers were paid basic wages; on the other hand, he suggested promoting the restructuring of enterprises in Suizhou's old industrial base. Through the introduction of external capital injection or collective shareholding, we can inject new blood into the development of enterprises, increase corporate scientific research and development, promote the upgrading of corporate technology and equipment, continuously open up new markets, and carry the banner of Jining's revitalization.

Li Wujiang was still thinking about Li Weiguo's inspections in other places. After staying in Suizhou for two days, he asked Jiang Guohua to arrange a vehicle to send him back to Li Weiguo.

Li Wujiang reported to Li Weiguo the situation of his investigation and the next step of Suizhou City.

"Wujiang, it seems that you are the one who deserves the best. Unlike Jiang Guohua, who looks older than you, but is certainly not steady when doing things. How can the organization entrust such a person with such a heavy responsibility?"

Chapter 378: Digging for descendants and cutting off the path for descendants

Li Wujiang knew that Jiang Guohua should use the angry words Li Weiguo said, so Li Wujiang did not follow Li Weiguo's words, but instead spoke for Jiang Guohua. "Secretary Li and Secretary Jiang also have their own difficulties. As the largest old industrial base in Jining, they also face many problems. Secretary Jiang has done some fruitful work in revitalizing the development of old industrial bases, such as promoting enterprises to increase research and development. efforts, and constantly explore new markets.”

"Well, you don't have to speak for him. What about Suizhou? The key depends on what he does next. You have experience in corporate restructuring, so you can teach him more."

With the lessons learned from Suizhou, Li Weiguo's inspection and research in the next few days went smoothly. Until the last stop, Baoquan City.

Wan Fenghua, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Baoquan City, is a person who is very good at making superficial remarks. In order to show his respect for Li Weiguo, he personally led members of the four major teams of Baoquan City to greet Li Weiguo at the junction of Baoquan City.

After Miao Chengyi reported to Li Weiguo, Li Weiguo said one word, "leave." Li Weiguo and his group of vehicles roared past Wan Fenghua without stopping.

"Secretary Wan, what does this Secretary Li mean? We came all the way to pick him up, how could this happen?" said Baoquan City Mayor Jin Hao.

"Mayor Jin, we have done what we should do as subordinates. Leaders have their own considerations. Let's go, we have to rush back." Wan Fenghua did not show any anger on his face and was still comforting Jin Hao.

"Secretary-general, what's going on? I don't want you to tell the people below, don't engage in these formalisms, and keep everything simple." Although Li Weiguo was not angry, he showed his dissatisfaction.

"Secretary Li, I didn't do my job well." Miao Chengyi took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"Secretary-General, we are not asking anyone to admit their mistakes. We hope that everyone can change their work style and focus on developing the economy and serving the people, instead of engaging in formalism, extravagance and waste, and annoying the people."

Li Weiguo and his party drove the vehicle directly to the gate of the Baoquan Municipal Party Committee compound. The Baoquan Municipal Party Committee Building is still very impressive. As a resource city, Baoquan City's development has been driven by the continued demand for oil, making Baoquan City a household name in the minds of people across the country. It is precisely because of the rich oil resources in Baoquan City that companies from all over the country are driven to exploit oil fields in Baoquan City. This has resulted in over-exploitation of oil resources and disorderly competition in Baoquan City, which has led to the current depletion of resources and difficulties in urban development.

Despite the embarrassing situation that had just passed, Wan Fenghua still accompanied Li Weiguo with a smile on his face. Whatever Li Weiguo said, Wan Fenghua nodded and bowed to show submission. This was not at all like the arrogance and domineering rumored by the outside world.

"Secretary Wan, Baoquan City is a well-known oil city in the country. Baoquan City has transported a large amount of oil to the development of our country and has made outstanding contributions to the development of the country. In the new era and the new period, Baoquan City will focus on oil resources. What more articles should I write?”

"Secretary Li, oil resources are precious wealth left to us by our ancestors, and they have also made great contributions to the development of Baoquan City. Next, we will continue to base ourselves on oil resources, increase exploitation, and complete the tasks assigned by the national and provincial committees. Task."

"Oil is a non-renewable resource. How many years can your Baoquan oil be mined?"

"Secretary Li, the professionals from our oil exploration team have calculated that at the current rate, we can dig for another fifty years." Wan Fenghua said with a smile.

"Secretary Wan, what will your Baoquan City do in fifty years?"

Li Weiguo's words stunned Wan Fenghua. Their generation of officials only care about the development of their own generation, but you also consider the development of the next generation.

When Li Weiguo saw that Wan Fenghua didn't answer, he continued, "Secretary Wan, we can't dig out the oil of our descendants and cut off the path of our descendants. Then we will be scolded by future generations. As leaders of prefectures and cities, you must consider a The long-term development of the region, rather than exhaustion to satisfy current interests.”

What Li Weiguo said was already very serious. If it were any other municipal party committee secretary, his heart would definitely be in turmoil. Unexpectedly, Wan Fenghua would still keep a smile on his face. I sincerely express that the Municipal Party Committee will definitely study the next development direction of Baoquan City.

Li Wujiang had already seen Wang Kuisheng among the team members who greeted him in Baoquan City, but he had no chance to speak, so he just nodded.

During the day, Li Weiguo inspected Jiliao Chemical Industry, and Ding Fangning accompanied him throughout the process. Jiliao Chemical Industry is a provincial state-owned enterprise with its production base in Baoquan City and its headquarters in Jiyang City. Then we visited the farmers’ homes.

According to the itinerary, Li Weiguo would end his inspection and research in Baoquan City that day and return to Jiyang City. However, Li Weiguo changed his itinerary temporarily and decided to rest in Baoquan City that night. So the visit ended early that afternoon. According to the arrangement, Li Weiguo met with Baoquan City Party Secretary Wan Fenghua and Mayor Jin Hao respectively at the hotel where he stayed.

While meeting the two leaders respectively, Ding Fangning, general manager of Jiliao Petrochemical Company, came to Li Wujiang's bedroom.

"Director Li, I'm very happy to see you again. Based on the development strategy of Jiliao Petrochemical you mentioned last time, I formulated a plan and specially brought it to help you check it." Ding Fangning sincerely handed the materials to Li Wujiang .

Li Wujiang knew that Ding Fangning asked him to check the situation was a lie. He wanted to send a message to Li Weiguo through him. However, Li Wujiang still took a detailed look at the strategic plan for the future development of Jilin Petrochemical. "Mr. Ding, yes, if your plan is implemented, it can lead Jiliao Petrochemical to go out of the country and into the world, and even become one of the world's top 500 companies."

"Director Li, no matter how good a strategic policy is, it still needs leadership support."

"I understand what you mean. I will definitely submit your plan when I have the opportunity." Li Wujiang is also motivated by publicity. As long as it is conducive to local development and enterprise development, he will spare no effort to do some work.

"Mr. Ding, when I arrived in Baoquan City today, I realized what it means to be rich. Baoquan is full of oil resources. It's difficult for Mr. Ding not to make money."

"Director Li, we have also benefited from oil resources. However, in the current development environment of Baoquan, how can it be so easy to make money?" Ding Fangning's face changed slightly when he mentioned the oil resources in Baoquan City, and he was a little aggrieved.

"Oh, Mr. Ding, why do you say that? The streets of Baoquan are full of oil. It is not easy for everyone to make money. Besides, you are the boss of a large state-owned enterprise and a department-level cadre. In Baoquan City, you are the God of Wealth. ? It’s not like our general office. I want to get some benefits during the Dragon Boat Festival, but I don’t know where to get it?”

Chapter 379 Show ability and create opportunities

"Director Li, don't worry about the Dragon Boat Festival welfare. I've taken care of this matter. Although I can't be called the God of Wealth, we at Jiliao Chemical can still provide this small welfare." Ding Fangning is also a person. A person who is very good at troubleshooting, after listening to Li Wujiang's words, he directly solved Li Wujiang's problem.

The two wanted to chat for a while longer, and Li Wujiang heard the door of Li Weiguo's room open. Li Wujiang looked at the time. Li Weiguo and Jin Hao talked for fifteen minutes, which was five minutes shorter than the municipal party secretary Wan Fenghua just now.

Li Wujiang concluded that Li Weiguo usually had a limited amount of time to talk to the leaders below, and the length of time determined the status of lower-level officials in Li Weiguo's mind. If the relationship is good, the conversation will take longer; if the relationship is not good, the conversation will be shorter. This may also be a habit of leaders.

Li Wujiang went to clean Li Weiguo's bedroom, and Ding Fangning got up to leave. Li Wujiang pointed to the Jiliao Petrochemical Development Plan in his hand and asked him to sit there and wait. Ding Fangning immediately understood what Li Wujiang meant. It seemed that he might meet the top leader of the provincial party committee tonight, and he was extremely excited.

Li Wujiang entered Li Weiguo's room. Li Weiguo was in the bathroom. Li Wujiang placed the Jiliao Petrochemical Development Plan in the most eye-catching position next to the coffee table and began to clean up the room.

Sure enough, after Li Weiguo came out of the bathroom, he saw the Jiliao Petrochemical Development Plan at first glance. After Li Weiguo looked at it for a few times, he became more and more serious.

Li Wujiang didn't dare to speak, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to do so. About four or five minutes passed. Li Weiguo then raised his head and asked, "Wujiang, did you bring this material?"

"Yes, Secretary Li, Mr. Ding from Jiliao Petrochemical came to my room just now and handed me this material. We also chatted for a while, and I felt that Mr. Ding had some ideas on enterprise development." Li Wujiang Said carefully.

"This Jiliao chemical industry reform and development plan is very well written. If done well, it can become an advanced model for enterprise restructuring in our province. Where is Ding Fangning now?"

"When I came over, he was still in my room. I wonder if he has left at this time?"

"Okay, go see if he's still here and invite him over."

When Li Wujiang heard that Li Weiguo wanted to see Ding Fangning, he felt a little excited. It seemed that his goal had been achieved. Although I have a good relationship with Li Weiguo, there is nothing wrong with telling Li Weiguo directly. If you do this once or twice, it's okay, but if you do it too much, no matter how good the leader is, he will feel that you are being pampered and arrogant, and cracks will appear in the relationship between the two people.

When Ding Fangning saw Li Wujiang appear again, he felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, Li Wujiang didn't sell out and said that Secretary Li asked him to talk. Ding Fangning held Li Wujiang's hand tightly, his face full of excitement. Li Wujiang patted his shoulder to calm him down.

Li Wujiang originally thought that since Ding Fangning left, he could have some peace and quiet for a while, but he didn't expect that Wang Kuisheng would also come to visit him.

"Mayor Wang, why are you here in person? I will visit you when I have time." Li Wujiang said modestly.

Wang Kuisheng was also anxious. He had never had a chance to talk to Li Wujiang during the day, so he came to see Li Wujiang at night. He learned about Li Wujiang's abilities from Tangjiahekou, and he desperately needed such an opportunity now. "Director Li, I came here to report my work to you today. Some time ago, Director Ma took the comrades from the Supervision Office to our Baoquan City to inspect and guide the work, and gave us Baoquan City valuable opinions. We are very grateful. , this time I made a special trip to express my gratitude to Director Li.”

"Oh, Mayor Wang, you are too polite. Our comrades came to the city to cause trouble, and we should be grateful for supporting your work. Mayor Wang just came, and I also want to ask Mayor Wang for advice on some situations. Province The Supervision Office of the CPC Central Committee has recently received letters of petition from the masses, reflecting that the security situation in Baoquan City is worrying. What does Mayor Wang think of this situation?"

Wang Kuisheng scratched his head, not knowing how to speak.

When Li Wujiang saw this, he changed his tone and said, "Mayor Wang, if this is inconvenient to say, that's okay. After all, the public security situation is under the management of the public security department." Li Wujiang called retreat to advance.

Wang Kuisheng saw that Li Wujiang's words had reached this point, so he said, "Director Li, the overall social security in Baoquan City is still good, but there are a group of gangsters circulating in the society, making a living by extorting money, and smearing Baoquan City. However, Baoquan City has also made arrangements to combat illegal and criminal activities, but these gangsters live in a haphazard manner and are difficult to arrest, so they bring a lot of inconvenience to the lives of ordinary people. Next, we Bao. Quan City will continue to intensify its efforts to crack down on illegal and criminal forces and bring peace to the people. "

Wang Kuisheng said it tactfully. Of course, it was not yet time for him to tell the man behind the scenes all at once. "Mayor Wang, Secretary Li attaches great importance to social security issues, severely cracks down on all types of illegal crimes in accordance with the law, comprehensively purifies the social security environment, resolutely maintains social stability, ensures people's peace, and creates a good social environment for social development. This is the responsibility of our cadres Responsibility." Li Wujiang is worthy of Zhao Qianlong. He has clearly reminded Wang Kuisheng that it is up to him what to do next.

Of course Wang Kuisheng understood what Li Wujiang meant. If he hesitated again at this time, he would not be able to get on Li Wujiang's big ship. "Director Li, we must follow Secretary Li's instructions and will always maintain a "zero tolerance" attitude towards all types of illegal and criminal activities, continue to launch fierce offensives, strive to deepen the overall social security environment, and continuously improve the people's sense of security and happiness. "

While Li Wujiang and Wang Kuisheng were chatting, Ding Fangning came out of Li Weiguo's room. Li Wujiang looked at the time and saw that it was two minutes longer than the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wan Fenghua.

Ding Fangning came to Li Wujiang's room with excitement. When he saw Wang Kuisheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted him warmly. Then he held Li Wujiang's hand tightly to express his gratitude.
