life in the sky

After leaving the capital, the convoy drove west along the high road, and when it was about to enter the border of North Central Province, the voice of the leading guard car came from the intercom: "Reporter, the comrades from North Central Province are here to greet you, do you want to parking?"

Mu Guoxing sighed, and said to Zheng Wei who was sitting in the co-pilot seat: "Stop for a while."

As soon as the convoy stopped, a middle-aged man who was as fat as a ball ran over and said out of breath, "Hello Director Mu, welcome to North Central Province to inspect and guide the work!"

Mu Guoxing also met Sun Zhejin, secretary of the North Central Provincial Party Committee, several times during the Central Committee Plenary Session, but he was getting fatter after not seeing him for such a long time.Mu Guoxing really doubted, how could Sun Zhejin's two thin legs support such a heavy body?

"Hello, Comrade Zhejin, the notice from the General Office of the Central Committee has made it very clear, so don't mobilize people to greet you. You see, our cars that are delaying the highway have all stopped, and the common people will scold you."

"Director Mu is right in his criticism. We will definitely pay attention in the future."

Sun Zhejin said that he should pay attention in the future, but in fact he was secretly muttering in his heart: Do we dare not come to greet the notice from the General Office of the Central Committee?This is not the case for every leader who says that he does not want to come to greet him, but in fact he is very happy in his heart. If he is really not allowed to come to greet him, the Central Office simply does not notify him.

Yu Bing, the governor of North Central Province, is a thin, pitiful middle-aged man. The provincial party committee secretary and the governor's fat and thin form a stark contrast, which makes people feel very funny no matter how you look at it.

This handshake and greeting lasted for a full 15 minutes. The driver of the transport convoy blocked in the distance impatiently honked the horn.Impatience is impatience, but no one dared to get out of the car and come over to question.

The convoy was on the road again, and with the addition of the cars from the four major teams in North Central Province, the original four-car convoy became a dozen vehicles. It looked like a long dragon on the wide high road, and the scene was quite spectacular.As the convoy moved forward, vehicles from the municipal leaders followed up from time to time. There used to be only one police car clearing the way, but now with the city-level police cars added, it became three.Fortunately, these police cars left the convoy after they were sent out of the city boundary. Otherwise, if they drove all the way to the provincial capital, I don't know how long the convoy would be.

Mu Guoxing knew that the following people followed the rules, and it would be impossible to prevent them from doing so. Everyone was worried that something would happen to them on their own territory. As long as they were sent out safely, everything would be fine. .Maybe these people are also secretly scolding their mothers now, why don't they stay in the capital well, and come down here to make a fuss.

Tieshan City, the provincial capital of North Central Province, is the same as all cities in plain provinces. The streets are particularly wide. The roads have been sprinkled with water by sprinklers in advance, and the streets are exceptionally clean after careful cleaning.Not only that, even the lampposts on both sides of the street have been repainted, which looks very neat and beautiful.

Seeing this, Mu Guoxing sighed secretly again. The central government repeatedly ordered leading cadres to go down for inspections to be simple, and the localities should not invite teachers to mobilize the masses to welcome them, let alone disturb the people. In fact, how many people can do this, no wonder Several members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee were unwilling to go out of Beijing. It turned out that they were trapped by these people.

If they want to go out of Beijing, the central office will have to make arrangements, and all provinces and cities must be ready to welcome them, and when they are ready, they will inevitably disturb the people. It seems that the root of this is still in the central government. If the central government issues a Whoever comes to welcome the head of the central government for the investigation will adjust his work to ensure that no one dares to come to meet him.

However, the central government will not issue such a document. If it does, it will be too unreasonable, and it may cause the local government to misunderstand the head of the central government.The huge bureaucratic system still needs to rely on this unwritten practice as a lubricant.

After the briefing, welcome banquet, and a series of tedious official articles were finally finished, Mu Guoxing invited Sun Zhejin and Yu Bing to his room.During the investigation, talking with local officials is one of the ways for a leading cadre to grasp the actual situation. As for how much he can grasp, it depends on the leader's ability to distinguish the truth from the false.

"Your report today was very good, and it also gave me a preliminary grasp of the work done by Zhongbei Province in the real estate consolidation. Zhongbei Province is close to the capital, and it is also a transportation hub linking the north and the south. The special geographical location makes Zhongbei Province in The whole country has great influence. Whether the real estate rectification work is done well or not is directly related to whether the central government's policies on real estate rectification work can be implemented smoothly. I hope you must attach great importance to this matter. .”

Although Sun Zhejin was fat, his voice was very loud: "Please rest assured that the central government will resolutely obey the instructions of the central government and will definitely complete the rectification of the real estate market."

Mu Guoxing nodded and didn't speak. He had seen too many big talkers like Sun Zhejin, and he was not sure if he could do what he said.This is also something that can't be helped, and local work still depends on these big officials in the frontier to complete.

According to the arrangement of North Central Province, Mu Guoxing first came to three residential areas and had face-to-face conversations with several residents.Although North Central Province had stipulated in advance with these residents what could and could not be said, there were some issues that they could not prepare for in every detail, and Mu Guoxing could always let Mu Guoxing know something about the actual situation.

Mu Guoxing found that half of the residents of the households arranged by Ningbei Province were retired teachers from schools, and some were employees of government institutions. They would say whatever they were asked to say, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable when Mu Guoxing left.

In the home of a teacher surnamed Hu, Mu Guoxing received a warm reception, not to mention the high-end snacks and fruits, even the tea he drank was very expensive, and it was absolutely impossible to buy it without a few thousand yuan a catty. This is not the standard of living for an ordinary teacher's family.

Chapter two thousand and 410 is tricky

Teacher Hu is very talkative. When he heard that Mu Guoxing wanted to know about the real estate situation from him, he started talking endlessly, one, two, three, A, B, and C. For those who can't speak, if Sun Zhejin hadn't been giving him winks, he didn't know how long he would be able to talk.

Mr. Hu is retired now, and he has nothing to do at home. Naturally, he wants to find someone to chat with him, but Mu Guoxing is so busy with work, and the amount of time he spends in each place is arranged in advance. Mu Guoxing has no Time is here to chat with him.

"Mr., I'm sorry. The main reason is that the central government's policies are good, and the province's implementation is very strong. I'm so happy that I can't stop the car."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "You talked about some questions very well, and let me understand some things. It seems that Mr. Hu's life is quite happy. This tea is very expensive, right?"

Teacher Hu smiled awkwardly, looked at Sun Zhejin, and gritted his teeth and said a big amount: "No, this tea is really good. I heard that the boss is coming to our house, so I thought that we must prepare some tea when the leader comes. Good tea, I went to the mall and spent 50 yuan to buy one or two good teas, I don’t know if it tastes right or not!”

Mu Guoxing looked at Sun Zhejin with a smile. This glance contained enough content. Sun Zhejin knew that Mu Guoxing had already discovered the tricks in the tea.These big leaders are all used to drinking high-end tea, so how can they not know the quality of these teas? The people at the reception are just pig-headed, so it’s all right to make some good snacks. Bring such good tea to a retired teacher. Long, isn't this an international joke?

Thank God, Mu Guoxing didn't say anything more, but changed the topic just now: "Mr. Hu, you said that this house is mortgaged, how much is the payment, whether the loan interest is high, and has your life been affected after the mortgage? "

Sun Zhejin, who accompanied Mu Guoxing in the investigation, had his heart beating violently several times, as if it was about to pop out of his throat.He originally thought that Mu Guoxing's visit to the people's homes was just a formality, to show his people-friendly work style, and at most to know the current housing prices, but he didn't expect that Mu Guoxing would suddenly ask this question.

I didn't prepare for this kind of question in advance, and I didn't tell Mr. Hu how to answer it. If Mr. Hu told the truth, it would be troublesome.Just now Mu Guoxing saw that they were cheating. If he knew how tricky they were in real estate rectification, would it be okay?

Now that this question has been raised a long time, Mr. Hu can’t answer even if he doesn’t want to answer it. After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said: “In fact, this house is the first one my son bought. According to the preferential policies formulated by the province, The mortgage payment is only 20.00%, thanks to the good policy, otherwise, a young teacher like my son would never be able to afford a house in his lifetime."

Just as Sun Zhejin let go of his hanging heart, Teacher Hu said again: "The bank's loan interest is a bit too high. They carry out different loan interest according to different mortgage years and different payments. My wife and I They are all retired teachers, and their salaries are not high. It took them all their life to save money to pay for him. The interest rate was not so high at the beginning, but who knew that the bank issued a new regulation to calculate loan interest by grade, so The interest is getting higher and higher. To tell you the truth, most of the couple’s monthly salary is used to pay for the house, and their lives will definitely be affected. There is no way to do this. Renting a house is not an option.”

This is not only a typical house slave, but also a very general gnawing old family. The savings of two generations have been used to buy a house, and they owe a large amount of debt to the bank. The common people are struggling to pay for the house Damn, the money goes into the pockets of very few.We shout every day to stimulate domestic demand and encourage consumption. Judging from the current situation, how easy is it to achieve this goal?

As if to prove the authenticity of Mr. Hu's speech, his wife walked into the bedroom and took out two agreements for house purchase and loan, as well as a stack of various receipts.Mu Guoxing took it over and looked at it, and realized that what Mr. Hu said was the actual situation, and there was a problem in the rectification of the real estate market in North Central Province.

According to the regulations of the Regulatory Commission, the first stage of real estate rectification is for each province and city to conduct self-examination and self-correction, mainly starting from three aspects to carry out this work.Firstly, the developers are ordered to make no less than 30.00% of the small-sized houses during the real estate development every year.Second, the financial sector should provide preferential loan support to the people who buy the first house. The payment standard can be reduced to 15.00% to [-]%, and the loan interest rate must implement the national unified interest standard.Third, local governments should introduce a series of preferential policies as much as possible to reduce or exempt taxes and fees for people who really need housing, and it is strictly forbidden for various departments to charge arbitrary fees under false pretenses.

Judging from the information provided by Mr. Hu, the housing price has dropped a part, but the loan interest and various fees paid have not only not decreased, but have increased a lot.These extra charges add up to more than 3 yuan. Calculated in this way, the house purchased by Mr. Hu's family is not much cheaper.

Take the gas pipeline as an example. This is a municipal project that should have a financial burden, but the Tieshan City Gas Company actually charged them more than 8000 yuan for the construction of the gas pipeline.Originally, according to the regulations of the Regulatory Commission, the deed tax, stamp duty, housing maintenance fund, non-staple food price adjustment fund, transaction fees, evaluation fees, insurance fees, notarization fees, mortgage registration fees, etc. should be less or not charged. Here is nothing less.

All units that have anything to do with real estate are like leeches, stinging on these home buyers and desperately sucking blood. North Central Province is fighting against the state's rectification of the real estate market in different ways. This is really true. Responded to that sentence: There are policies above and countermeasures below.

Mu Guoxing said to Teacher Hu calmly: "Thank you, Teacher Hu, for letting me know the real situation. My secretary will give you a business card. If there is any problem, or someone dares to trouble you, You can call me directly."

Zheng Wei took out a business card from his bag, handed it to Mr. Hu with both hands, then took the information that Mu Guoxing handed him, turned around and went out to copy it.Teacher Hu also knew that Mu Guoxing did this to protect him, and now that the truth has been exposed, who knows if the following people will cause trouble for their family after the elder is gone?The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is not only now that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

There are two situations that the leaders are most worried about when they come to investigate. One is that they can’t understand the real situation, which will affect the leaders’ future decision-making. The other is that they have learned the actual situation and the problem is still serious. Be even more careful, if you don't do it, it will affect your whole body, especially at this sensitive moment when the general election is about to be held, if you are not careful, you will go wrong.

At the last Politburo meeting, in response to the adjustment of the provincial leadership, it was decided that Sun Zhejin could continue to serve another term, but judging from the current situation, it was obviously inappropriate.Now Mu Guoxing is also in a dilemma. If Sun Zhejin is too harsh because of the problems in the real estate market, it may prevent Mu Guoxing from getting the support of North Central Province at the National Party Congress. Some variables have been added for him to enter the leadership core. If Sun Zhejin is not dealt with, it will be difficult to continue the rectification work in the real estate market.

Sun Zhejin is also moving his mind now. He heard from a high-level person in the capital that the Politburo meeting has decided to let him serve another term. Although he is also very disturbed now, he also thinks that Mu Guoxing is I won't do anything to him.How can any one person be able to reverse the issues decided at the Politburo meeting?Even if Mu Guoxing wants to adjust his work in the future, with the support of that high-level person, coupled with his own work during this period, it may not be impossible to save the day. If Mu Guoxing wants to enter the core leadership smoothly, he also needs Support from North Central Province.

Chapter 410 of VIP has not changed at all

Yu Bing, the governor of North Central Province, was also silently observing everything in front of him. He now has a kind of gloating mentality.Originally, when the Standing Committee was held, Yu Bing also represented the provincial government, and proposed to resolutely cancel some fee items in accordance with the regulations of the regulatory committee's documents, and to charge half of the remaining items, and asked all banks in the province to strictly implement The document of the Regulatory Commission stipulates that preferential loan interest rates will be realized for the people who buy the first house.

Originally, according to Yu Bing's opinion, the rectification work in the real estate market in North Central Province would be carried out smoothly, but Sun Zhejin proposed at the meeting that if everything was done in accordance with the documents of the Regulatory Commission, the economy of North Central Province would be booming. If there is a sharp decline, fiscal revenue will also decrease sharply.It was precisely because of Sun Zhejin's firm opposition that the Standing Committee finally rejected Yu Bing's proposal.The current situation is that, on the surface, it seems that the housing prices in North Central Province have dropped, and they have reached the rigid regulation of [-]% of the regulation committee, but in fact they have not changed at all.

Yu Bing also argued for reason in the Standing Committee, but Sun Zhejin had been operating in Zhongbei for many years, and Yu Bing could not shake his power no matter what, so he could only accept this fact in the end.Although Yu Bing also wanted to report this problem to the Control Committee several times, but considering that the provincial general election is about to be held, and the central government is vigorously advocating the maintenance of political stability, in this case, he can only give up. made his own plans.

From this matter, we can see a problem. The reason why the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor cannot unite is mainly caused by the difference in governance philosophy.Sometimes the truth is not all in the hands of the secretary of the provincial party committee. The conflict between Sun Zhejin and Yu Bing is actually a struggle between the two thoughts of representing the interests of the masses or only caring about their own political achievements.

Next, on the two real estate construction sites, Mu Guoxing saw that the construction of small apartments can basically reach 30.00%. For this, Mu Guoxing is quite satisfied, but when he thinks of the generous amount that Mr. Hu provided When a thick stack of receipts came, Mu Guoxing felt heavy again.

After dinner, Mu Guoxing talked to Sun Zhejin and Yu Bing again, but the way of talking this time was a little different from the last time, and the conversations were conducted separately.After receiving the notice, Sun Zhejin rushed to the hotel where Mu Guoxing was staying, and happened to see Yu Bing walking out of the hotel.Sun Zhejin realized that Mu Guoxing was looking for Yu Bing first this time, and put him behind as the secretary of the provincial party committee. Sun Zhejin immediately felt a sense of loss and jealousy.

"Comrade Zhejin, I'm leaving North Central Province tomorrow. I'm looking for you to have a good talk today. Don't be nervous and say something. Let's chat casually."

Sun Zhejin understood what Mu Guoxing wanted to talk to him about. Mu Guoxing had discovered some tricks in the real estate rectification, and now he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to, but after thinking about it again, he felt relieved. Anyway, Mu Guoxing If he wants to enter the core level, he still needs the support of the provinces and cities below, and what he can do to himself, the secretary of the provincial party committee, is to be criticized by him at most!Anyway, after he left, North Central Province is still his own world, so he can do whatever he wants. Can he still squat in North Central Province and not leave?

"Please give instructions!"

Mu Guoxing seemed to have seen Sun Zhejin's thoughts, drank tea for a while and said slowly: "I am quite satisfied with the survey in North Central Province this time, but there are still many problems. Let’s talk about which parts of the central and northern provinces have resolutely implemented the central government’s policies in the real estate consolidation work, and which aspects still have some shortcomings.”

Sun Zhejin understood that Mu Guoxing asked him to take the initiative to tell the tricks in the real estate rectification. Looking at the secretary who was in charge of making records, Sun Zhejin realized that something was wrong.This conversation is to be recorded. Once Mu Guoxing admits that he has done something tricky in the real estate rectification, he will make a fuss about it. It is impossible for him to immediately take off Sun Zhejin's official title. But who can guarantee that Mu Guoxing will not do this after he enters the leadership core.

Sun Zhejin also knew that if he wanted to keep his official title, it was not enough to rely on the support of the high-level people in the capital. The best way was to prevent Mu Guoxing from entering the leadership core.But this matter can only be thought about, not to mention him as the secretary of the provincial party committee, even if several provinces are united, it will not be possible.This is still the second thing. Now that the other provincial party committee secretaries already know that the central government has nominated Mu Guoxing to enter the leadership core, this matter is already a certainty. Under such circumstances, who will follow him into this muddy water? .

But it won’t work if you don’t admit all these tricks, Mu Guoxing has already found out, and if you don’t admit it, you will be deceiving the leadership, and these things are against the central government’s policies. It is also unbearable.

After thinking for a while, Sun Zhejin finally spoke: "Sir, I admit that our province did not fully follow the instructions of the Regulatory Commission during the real estate rectification work, but made some adjustments according to the specific conditions of our province. The economy of North Central Province can continue to develop, and our starting point is good."
