Xia Xiang is the local boss of Yinzhou, but Song Wendi is a newcomer from the province. It is obviously not a good idea to confront Song Wendi head-on. We need to think carefully before doing so.
This meeting of secretaries left a deep impression on Fang Zhicheng. It was the first time he felt what power and strategy were.
Although Song Wendi didn't talk much, every word he said was just right, with a perfect sense of measure and timing, making it impossible for the usually strong mayor Xia Xiang to find a breakthrough to fight back.
Song Wendi's experience in officialdom taught Fang Zhicheng, who was still very young, a lot. Fang Zhicheng realized that Song Wendi was his best teacher in officialdom.
After the meeting, Deng Fangyuan sat in the municipal party secretary's office for half an hour. Fang Zhicheng went in twice to get some tea. Song Wendi did not shy away from talking to Fang Zhicheng during his conversation with Deng Fangyuan. The two were discussing the details of rectifying the "Quan'an Gang."
In the political arena that appears to be united as one, there are many small groups, each with its own people, fighting openly and secretly for common interests.
The Quan'an Gang has a long history. The earliest founder was a Yinzhou municipal party secretary in the early 1990s. He was from Quan'an County. Because he preferred to use people from Quan'an in his work, many people from Quan'an entered the municipal government. The provincial party committee actually noticed this phenomenon, so the Yinzhou municipal party secretary has always been appointed by the province. However, the Quan'an Gang did not disappear because of this, but gradually grew and became a force that cannot be underestimated.
Xia Xiang is now the core of the Quan'an Gang. He firmly controls the work of the municipal government and even uses the Standing Committee to control party affairs. Song Wendi's predecessor was transferred by the provincial party committee because he completely lost control of Yinzhou.
After Deng Fangyuan left, Song Wendi tapped the table rhythmically with a pen, staring at a document in silence.
This is Song Wendi's habit of thinking about problems. Fang Zhicheng filled a glass of water for Song Wendi. Song Wendi suddenly looked up and asked, "Xiao Fang, you also attended the secretary's meeting today. You should have your own opinion on the problem of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery, right?"
Fang Zhicheng did have a lot of ideas, but they were immature, because he was not at a high enough level and his level of thinking was immature. However, seeing Song Wendi asking, Fang Zhicheng spoke freely: "Boss, I think the biggest problem of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery is the word 'Yinzhou'!"
"Oh?" Song Wendi raised his eyebrows.
Fang Zhicheng continued: "As a government, we should provide logistics support for enterprises instead of becoming their breadwinner."
Song Wendi sighed and said, "Do you also agree with Mayor Xia's suggestion to give up Yinzhou Heavy Machinery?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head quickly and whispered, "Giving up Yinzhou Heavy Machinery will affect social stability. What I mean is that in order for Yinzhou Heavy Machinery to have a better development, the government must let go and let the company face the market. Now many local governments have begun to cultivate listed companies and let companies face the baptism of the market, but Yinzhou currently has no listed companies. Yinzhou Heavy Machinery has considerable fixed assets. If it can divest its non-performing assets and use the listing trend to change its appearance, it will definitely be able to recover. However, once Yinzhou Heavy Machinery goes public, it means that it is no longer a Yinzhou company and needs to face the test of the market..."
Song Wendi said noncommittally: "Going public? This is not an easy thing to do."
Seeing Song Wendi fall into deep thought again, Fang Zhicheng stepped out of the office and sat at his desk. He recalled his performance in front of Song Wendi just now and realized that he was a little too frivolous. What kind of person is Song Wendi? Why didn't he think of a similar method
Yinzhou Heavy Machinery is a long-established state-owned enterprise. Once it goes public, what will happen to the high-level executives? Moreover, most of the executives of state-owned enterprises have very deep backgrounds. If their interests are affected, Song Wendi will inevitably face a strong counterattack.
As the local leader, stability is above all else.
Chapter 0009 Minister Qiu's Sister-in-law
After get off work, Fang Zhicheng first called Qiu Hengde to ask if it was appropriate to visit today. Qiu Hengde gladly gave Fang Zhicheng the address.
Fang Zhicheng is very good at dealing with people and things. Since Qiu Hengde took the initiative to invite him, he naturally had to make good use of this opportunity to get closer to Qiu Hengde again.
Qiu Hengde is now the deputy minister of the Organization Department and is expected to be promoted to a full-time position soon. If Fang Zhicheng can establish a good relationship with him, his future will undoubtedly be bright.
Fang Zhicheng originally wanted to buy more gifts, but because he had lent all his money to Cheng Bin, he was short of money. He thought that if he bought too expensive gifts, it would appear too utilitarian, so he bought apples, bananas, grapes and other fruits in the department store.
Arriving at the compound for the family members of the municipal party committee, Fang Zhicheng followed the map to find Qiu Hengde's residence. He rang the doorbell, only to see a pretty girl coming to open the door.
The little girl was about seven or eight years old, with a round, pink face, delicate pigtails, and shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth. However, she stared at Fang Zhicheng for a long time, snorted with contempt, twisted her hips and ran in, whispering, "Auntie, there are bad guys outside."
"Bad guy?" A woman who looked to be in her thirties, wearing an apron, walked to the door in confusion, staring at Fang Zhicheng from head to toe, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Seeing Lele hiding behind the woman and making faces at him, Fang Zhicheng laughed out loud, "Hello, my name is Fang Zhicheng, and I'm here to visit Minister Qiu."
"Oh! It's Xiao Fang!" The woman quickly opened the door and welcomed Fang Zhicheng in. Seeing that he was holding some fruit in his hands, she smiled and said, "It's enough for you to just come here, why are you bringing fruit?"
Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and said, "It's very impolite to come empty-handed. I'll give you some fruit as a token of my appreciation." He realized that this elegant-looking woman must be Qiu Hengde's wife, Xie Fang. She was actually over 40 years old, but she was well-maintained, so her real age could not be seen.
Lele said sullenly, "Aunt, didn't you say that those who send gifts are bad people? How could you let bad people in?"
Xie Fang gave Lele a slap on the face and said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. This uncle is your uncle's lifesaver, how can he be a bad guy?"
Lele pouted and sat on the sofa to watch TV. After a while, she started to giggle at the cartoons.
Xie Fang poured Fang Zhicheng a glass of water and said with a smile: "It will probably take a long time for Old Qiu to come home. You sit on the sofa for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and cook a few more dishes!"
Fang Zhicheng put the teacup on the tea table, rolled up his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Sister Fang, how about I help you?"
Xie Fang was slightly startled, and quickly waved his hands and said, "How can this be possible? You are a guest, how can I let you do this?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and entered the kitchen. Seeing the cleaned vegetables and meat on the chopping board, he took the knife and started to cut the vegetables skillfully. Seeing Fang Zhicheng's quick and efficient movements, Xie Fang stopped trying to stop him and started chatting with him. When they talked about his family situation and learned that Fang Zhicheng had no parents, Xie Fang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Children of poor families grow up early, no wonder you are so sensible?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Although I have always lived with my mother, I have never felt poor. My mother is very good to me. She taught me to enjoy life..."
Xie Fang admired him and said, "You are very good. It is rare to see such a sunny young person."
Around seven o'clock, the meal was served and Qiu Hengde just returned home.
Qiu Hengde was very happy to see Fang Zhicheng. He glanced at the table and said to Xie Fang, "Wife, please ask for a drink at noon. How about that?"
"You, always say you want to quit drinking, but you never succeed." Xie Fang smiled and took a bottle of Moutai from the cupboard.
Qiu Hengde took it, opened the lid of the wine, and said with a smile: "Xiao Fang, I am thanks to you today. If it weren't for you, your Aunt Fang would not be willing to give me such good wine." Qiu Hengde is very serious at work, but he is witty and humorous in life.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Aunt Fang has just told me that your blood pressure is a little high and your stomach is not very good. You can't drink too much. She is not reluctant to give up the wine, but she is reluctant to give up your body."
Xie Fang smiled and said, "Xiao Fang is still the most intelligent person. Old Qiu, you should learn from him!"
