Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

Wang Hongtao hurriedly dug out the prepared 1 million yuan fund application report and handed it over for the mayor to sign.

Gao Changyuan looked at Wang Hongtao with weird eyes and said, "Let me see how many application reports you have in your bag, and how much are they all written?"

Wang Hongtao said embarrassingly: "Mayor, isn't this prepared for any danger? There are still 1.5 million, 2 million, and 3 million. Unfortunately, there is no use for it."

Now that he agreed, Gao Changyuan simply signed: "Go back and work hard. The focus should still be on economic development. Only by effectively increasing fiscal revenue can we have spare energy to do a good job in people's livelihood. The city government generally treats your work well. satisfied."

"Mayor, I sincerely thank you for your support and help. No matter what happens, you will always give instructions."

Before leaving, Gao Changyuan asked casually: "Hong Tao, you don't have any special contacts with the oilfield companies in Ningyang and Zhenbei, right?"

"The mayor is limited to work, and he is basically not familiar with it."

"Well, then go ahead!"

After leaving the house, Wang Hongtao felt that the mayor had something to say. It is estimated that Deputy Secretary Ning has exerted force on Liu Zhenguo, the former Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Qin Province. It is estimated that Jinbao is not far away from falling. As for the leaders of the counties and districts related to the oilfield company, the problem can be large or small, depending on how the municipal party committee decides. In short, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Hongtao, just watch the show.

Back at the district government, Guan Qiwu, the director of the Greening Office, came to report excitedly. After he went to Beijing six times to find Lu Shengjun, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, the matter finally came to fruition. The district chief needs to go to Beijing to coordinate.

Wang Hongtao agreed immediately, and called the Finance Bureau and the government office to fully support Guan Qiwu's coordination work according to the same routine, and ran to Beijing tomorrow.

That night, Jiang Hui, director of the Finance Bureau, and Guan Qiwu drove to Daqian Station in the capital. send a trip.

On the morning of September 9, Wang Hongtao and Fang Wei took the plane to the capital, arrived at the Beijing International Airport at noon, and went to the Ministry of Finance after a brief lunch, waiting to meet Minister Lu.

The deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person, so there are naturally many rules. It is thanks to Guan Qiwu's face that he can make an appointment until today. Otherwise, he would have to wait in line for a month to see Minister Lu. Your status is that you can't meet Minister Lu, because your status is not equal, what will he talk to you about?

At four o'clock, it was finally Wang Hongtao's turn, and he followed the staff carefully into the office.

Minister Lu was correcting the document, looked up and said, "You are the head of District Wang, please wait a moment, I have approved this document."

After 3 minutes, Minister Lu gave the document to the staff and said, "Send it to the general office and ask them to submit it to the Minister for review as soon as possible."

Then he said to Wang Hongtao: "Major Wang, Qiwu told me about the situation in Zhenbei. I didn't expect the local debt to be so huge. A small town in the north has more than 50 billion arrears. Looking at the whole country, this number will be huge. How far? It has been more than 20 years since I left Zhenbei, and every time I think about it, the memory is still so deep."

"Minister Lu, in recent years, China's urbanization has been rapidly advancing, and infrastructure construction and economic development have been promoted. In order to support urban development and infrastructure construction, local governments have borrowed a lot, which has led to a debt problem that cannot be ignored. Now the disadvantages have emerged. Based on years of work experience at the grassroots level, I have roughly summed up two reasons. The first is the theory of performance appraisal, which pursues gdp one-sidedly, and borrows funds for insufficient consequences. At the beginning, the relationship between the central and local fiscal revenue and expenditure showed a trend of upward shifting of income and downward shifting of expenditure. The closer to the grassroots government, the greater the pressure on fiscal expenditure. The city and county levels bear a large amount of rigid expenditure, and have to borrow a lot of money to eat more than they need to pay for their political achievements. , Transferred after three years, the unfinished projects became political performance projects, and the completed projects had a batch of projects with poor profitability, or even unfinished projects, a vicious circle.”

Minister Lu nodded and said, "You've got to the point. This is a problem with the system and mechanism. District Chief Wang, can you do me a favor? Provide a detailed research report with the topic of local debt. Some real cases, my work may need to be adjusted after the next year, to participate in the reform of the economic system, if you work at the grassroots level, you can provide more effective reference materials.”

Wang Hongtao immediately replied: "It is my duty to do my best, and it is a great honor for me to offer advice and suggestions for the development of the country. After the research report is completed, I will personally send it to you."

Minister Lu said: "Thank you then, let's get down to business. I checked the funds allocated to Zhenbei by the central government this year, and it has exceeded the standard. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort. You must not violate the principles and systems when doing your work. , This year, the allocation of funds from the Ministry of Finance is no longer possible. But Zhenbei is an old revolutionary base area that is well-known throughout the country. This advantage must be used. I helped you contact Hangzhou and Shenzhen. You can pair up and help. They also intend to contribute to the development of the old base area. Do your best, next year Zhenbei will definitely become a hot land, they are happy to make a stand in the front, release a political signal, the specific amount of assistance funds, I put forward the minimum requirements for them, tomorrow you go to these two Let’s connect the cities, I will say hello in advance.”

Wang Hongtao was very excited. He was quite satisfied with the plan proposed by Minister Lu. The leader had a larger structure and a more open mind. He hurriedly said: "I am very grateful to Minister Lu. When the government debt crisis is resolved this time, Zhenbei will be able to get rid of the burden. Packing lightly and developing with all our strength, of course we will plan economic construction more scientifically and rationally, so that we will not repeat the same mistakes, and I also ask the minister to go home often and personally guide the development of Zhenbei.”

"I will definitely go back if I have the chance. To be honest, I really miss the days in Zhenbei. Although it was hard, I have reaped a lifetime of wealth! District Chief Wang, it's not that I want to chase you away. I have an important appointment later."

Wang Hongtao immediately got up and said, "Then don't disturb the minister's work. I will go to Shenzhen tomorrow. This time I came to the capital and brought you some millet, miscellaneous grains and pickled vegetables from my hometown."

"What you said has aroused my greediness. You can send Qiwu to my house. Thank you for your kindness."

After leaving the Ministry of Finance, Wang Hongtao was in a good mood. He felt that this trip was worthwhile. He praised Guan Qiwu very much, and promised to find him a good position, give full play to his ability, and let him deliver special products to the road at night. Minister's house.

There happened to be a flight that night, so Wang Hongtao, Fang Wei, and Tong Jianming flew to Shenzhen, had a quick supper, and found a hotel near the city hall to rest and recharge their batteries to meet Shenzhen tomorrow.
