Excellent little farmer

After dinner, Liang Guizhi and I sat in the restaurant for a while, drank a cup of tea, then went downstairs side by side, walked out of the alley from the path behind the Minjiang Hotel, walked forward for more than two hundred meters, and arrived at the Minjiang River. On the way, the two found a pavilion to sit down and started chatting slowly.

Through Liang Guizhi's narration, I have a certain understanding of the situation of Minjiang Heavy Machinery. This company was formerly known as Shengli Machinery Factory. It is a powerful state-owned enterprise in Minjiang City. It mainly produces metallurgical machinery and equipment. When the benefits are the best, It once had 3,000 employees and made great contributions to the economic development of Minjiang City.

Seven or eight years ago, due to the downturn in the industry, aging equipment, and its own management reasons, Shengli Machinery Factory quickly declined. At the most difficult time, it was unable to pay wages for 16 months. Bao Changrong was the executive deputy mayor at the time. , after leading his team to go out for inspection, and after repeated arguments, he decided to vigorously support Shengli Machinery Factory and renamed the company Minjiang Heavy Machinery Factory.

After careful operation, Minjiang Heavy Machinery was listed as a key project in Jiangzhou Province. It is jointly invested by the national ministries and commissions, Jiangzhou Province, and Minjiang City, and plans to spend 600 million yuan to create a strong local leading enterprise.

However, the progress of the project was not smooth. The planned special funds had not yet arrived. The city sent cadres non-stop to the provincial and capital ministries and commissions for funds. It took nearly two years and hundreds of thousands of yuan were spent. Public relations expenses were managed by various departments before the funds were put in place. Half a year later, the three parties formed a joint inspection team to inspect various parts of Europe.

The members of the inspection team were all government officials, and none of them were professional technicians in the relevant fields. The team was led by a deputy director of a national ministry. After leading the team for four overseas inspections, he finally made a decision to enter into a partnership with a French company. The company signs an equipment purchase contract.

After the equipment arrived in Minjiang City, after installation and debugging, it was discovered that there were serious quality problems. Nearly half of the imported equipment could not operate normally. Therefore, Minjiang Heavy Machinery had a protracted dispute with the French shortly after the equipment was introduced. A long-lasting international lawsuit.

In the end, the lawsuit was settled. The deputy director-general who led the negotiations was not affected. On the contrary, his official career was prosperous. After leaving the ministry, he became a mayor. Later, he rose through the ranks and retired from the deputy ministerial leadership position. Come down.

In the whole incident, except for an honest deputy department-level cadre who took the blame, the only unlucky one was the Minjiang Heavy Machinery Factory. After less than a year of prosperity, the factory fell into trouble again. This made the workers of Minjiang Heavy Machinery excited and triggered A series of incidents occurred, including a vicious incident in which hundreds of people fell on the train.

Foreign media reports attracted the attention of the provincial party committee leaders. After a meeting, a working group was dispatched to the factory to coordinate, which calmed public anger. However, since then, the city has also been burdened with a heavy burden and can only rely on blood transfusions to maintain the company's survival.

At this time, Bao Changrong had already become the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Minjiang. He was determined to completely solve the problem of the heavy machinery factory, so he personally gave instructions. The city invested an additional 200 million yuan, and the company raised some of its own funds to carry out technological transformation and restructure Minjiang. The restructuring of the machine is on the agenda.

The mayor at the time, Duan Yongqi, also attached great importance to Minjiang Heavy Machinery. He held many meetings to discuss Minjiang Heavy Machinery's problems, invited experts to diagnose the company, hired excellent management talents from other places with high salaries, and through personal relationships, helped Minjiang Heavy Machinery obtain several transactions. After a lot of hard work with a large order, the company finally made some progress. Unexpectedly, during the process of corporate restructuring, another corruption case broke out. In addition to several company executives, including the mayor's assistant Shen Qiang, More than a dozen government officials were arrested in connection with the case.

In anger, Bao Changrong even went to the province to file a complaint. This incident intensified the conflict between him and Duan Yongqi. The provincial party committee transferred Duan Yongqi from Minjiang and transferred Li Chen from Jingnan City to serve as mayor. In the past two years, the machinery industry has fallen into a collective downturn, and Minjiang Heavy Machinery's life has become increasingly difficult.

The city's finances were also stretched thin at this time, and it was increasingly difficult to maintain wages with city subsidies. In addition, workers were dissatisfied with the previous fund-raising plan and demanded a full refund. When their demands were not met, they began to complain again, causing the city to Very passive.

I couldn't stand listening anymore. Huo Di stood up from the stone table, took a few steps forward with a livid face, and said in a low voice: "State-owned enterprises are Tang Monk meat, and every monster and ghost wants to take a bite. How can this go on! "

Liang Guizhi sighed, stood up, looked at the river reflected by the setting sun, and said slowly: "Secretary Ye, the problem of Minjiang Heavy Machinery Factory is far more serious than imagined. On the one hand, due to the multi-party management, the municipal party committee and the municipal government have no intention of restructuring. There were serious differences in the plan, and the restructuring work was progressing slowly. On the other hand, Secretary Bao was deeply involved in this company. He was also one of the government officials who went abroad to conduct equipment inspections. Several general managers of the company were also personally checked by him. Appointed, so the workers have great opinions on Secretary Bao, and there are many unfavorable rumors outside."

I frowned, took out a cigarette from my jacket pocket, lit it, took a puff, and said softly: "Mayor Liang, what are the rumors?"

Liang Guizhi adjusted her glasses and said thoughtfully: "Some people say that he has collected huge bribes abroad, while others say that he carefully planned and set up traps to make a fuss about the corruption case of Minjiang Heavy Machinery, and drove away those who wanted to do a good job in Minjiang Heavy Machinery. Mayor Duan, after all, the period when Duan Yongqi was the mayor was the period when Minjiang Heavy Machinery was most profitable. After he left Minjiang, Minjiang Heavy Machinery Factory quickly entered a decline. In short, there were many negative voices. They are going after Secretary Bao, and many people are clamoring to go to the province to file a complaint to bring down Secretary Bao."

I fell silent and smoked my cigarette. After a long time, I sighed, dropped the cigarette butt in my hand, stamped it out with my toes, and said with a smile: "It's getting dark, Mayor Liang, let's go back early. I will go there another day, but the most important thing now is to do everything possible to get the business going. As long as we can get out of the current predicament, everything will be fine."

Liang Guizhi nodded, followed him back, and sighed: "It's not easy! The city has taken advantage of the opportunity to attract investment and has given many policies, hoping to find a partner to revitalize the Minjiang Heavy Machinery Factory, but we have come to negotiate. Most of the business owners here are looking for bargains and are unwilling to sincerely cooperate with any of them. In fact, it is understandable that the burden of 3,000 people is also burdened with a pile of debts and there are many problems left over from history, which is really difficult to deal with. "

I slowed down, lowered my head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Mayor Liang, what is Mayor Li Chen's attitude towards the issue of Minjiang Heavy Machinery?"

Liang Guizhi frowned and said: "Mayor Li's attitude is difficult to understand. He has also proposed some plans, such as debt-to-equity swap, or bankruptcy and capital liquidation first, and then reintroducing new strategic partners and providing five-year tax-free preferential policies. , came to help Minjiang Heavy Machinery solve its difficulties, but the plan has always remained on paper. For more than a year since the working group was established, it has spent all its energy on maintaining stability, and has no time to take into account other aspects. However, the more stability it maintains, the more It’s unstable. If the problems at the heavy machinery factory are not resolved quickly, there will definitely be big trouble.”

I smiled slightly and said softly: "Mayor Liang, in my opinion, we still have to rely on the enterprises themselves to solve problems. Those of us who are in administration are mostly laymen when it comes to running enterprises. The more anxious we are to do a good job, the easier it will be to get things done." It made a mess.”

Liang Guizhi nodded, but said with a wry smile: "Judging from some recent events, it is not ruled out that some people are fanning the flames and want to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of the heavy machinery factory employees to cause trouble and create trouble for Secretary Bao."

I smiled and said softly: "Secretary Bao also noticed this. When we talked in the afternoon, he pointed it out directly."

Liang Guizhi took off her glasses, wiped them carefully, put them back on, and said with a smile: "Secretary Bao's work ability is still very strong, he has a good view of the overall situation, and he is courageous, but he has a serious paternalistic style and likes to be arbitrary, which makes some The Standing Committee has great opinions, and he trusts some people around him too much, so that some cadres are arrogant and do not take other leaders seriously. Some cadres rely on his favor, openly violate regulations, exercise privileges, and have a negative impact on society. It caused a lot of negative impacts.”

I frowned and said thoughtfully: "Yes! Secretary Bao is a very distinctive leader with distinct advantages and disadvantages. Relatively speaking, I still admire him very much. Mayor Li, on the other hand, is a bit puzzling. It's unclear, I always feel that his face is very gloomy, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with such a person."

Liang Guizhi smiled slightly, nodded and said: "You have to be careful when dealing with him. When Li Chen was the deputy secretary in Jingnan City, his reputation was not very good and he was very good at bullying people. In the past two years, The province has received a lot of reporting materials about Secretary Bao, and nine out of ten of these reporting letters are from him behind the scenes. Although this person is very capable, he has evil intentions, which is a pity."

I smiled and sighed: "There are too many such cadres in the system. They are all very capable people, but they don't focus on their work and focus on climbing up. The new people in Lingtai County The county party secretary who went there is said to be that kind of person, and I am really worried that he will mess up Lingtai County."

The two of them talked all the way back to the Minjiang Hotel. After I entered the room, I took off my clothes and took a hot shower. Then I took out the book "The Romance of the Qing Dynasty" from my travel bag and lay on the bed and started reading. , when I was watching it with great interest, my cell phone rang. I looked at the number, then answered the call, and said with a smile: "My dear wife, what do you want me to do?"
