Meilu asked in confusion: "Just now I saw you talking to him happily, like a close friend. Why are you trying to use something against him now? You are so sinister sometimes, and it makes people feel scared."

Zhang Xiaoliang stared at Mei Lu's charming face, thinking that he had drunk too much today and said something he shouldn't have said. He smiled and said, "I just think that if Zhao Yuan catches Chen Chao, then Chen Chao and I will have more topics to talk about, and our relationship can be further improved in the future."

Meilu spat in annoyance: "Your weird logic, are you going to talk about mistresses when we're together from now on?"

Zhang Xiaoliang smiled and said, "Isn't it interesting?"

Zhang Xiaoliang had a plan in mind. He recommended Chen Chao to Fang Zhicheng. Although Chen Chao had not made any unusual moves for the time being, he had been with Deng Shaoqun after all. If he suddenly turned against him one day, the position of office director could cause a big incident. So Zhang Xiaoliang tried to better control Chen Chao and keep more leverage over him.

Of course, in addition to this, Zhang Xiaoliang had other ideas in his mind. Chen Chao was now highly valued by Fang Zhicheng. If he replaced him one day, wouldn't it make him, the introducer, depressed to death? So Zhang Xiaoliang devised a plan, but Chen Chao was very alert and did not take the bait.

Zhao Ling was in Yanjing for a meeting for nearly half a month. During this time, Fang Zhicheng took the initiative to call Zhao Ling twice, but he was perfunctory with a few words. From his attitude, it can be seen that Zhao Ling was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Without the new policy, the work of attracting investment was very difficult, so one month after the New Year, the work of attracting investment was basically stagnant. Fang Zhicheng had no choice but to call Wei Xiaoyan and ask the office of Dongtai Investment Company in Xiaguang to provide better financial support for the enterprises settled in Xiaguang.

Wei Xiaoyan naturally promised and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Secretary Fang, the investment promotion company will focus on the financing quota for Xiaguang District to help Xiaguang cultivate small and medium-sized enterprises."

Fang Zhicheng said: "I feel relieved with Sister Yan's words."

Wei Xiaoyan is now in charge of the Merchants Company. Because the Merchants Company has achieved good results in the past two years, it has gradually become independent from the Merchants Bureau. It is expected to start restructuring within one or two years and operate the company in a market-oriented manner. Now that the country is promoting enterprise and institution reform, the restructuring and listing of the Merchants Company has been included in the key work list of the Yinzhou Development and Reform System. In addition to serving as the director of the Merchants Bureau, Wei Xiaoyan will serve as the chairman of the Merchants Company after the restructuring.

With the support of Hua Xia Bank's Huainan provincial headquarters, China Merchants Company has shown explosive growth within two years, with annual profits increasing from the initial two million to 89 million. At the same time, China Merchants Company also owns shares in nearly 100 companies, all of which have passed strict screening and have high growth potential. In short, China Merchants Company will become a capital giant in the future.

From 2007 to 2008, Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Company provided nearly 3 billion yuan of total financing capital for Dongtai's small and medium-sized enterprises. In the second half of 2008, the Merchants Investment Company began to expand its business and set up offices in nearly 20 cities across the country to invest in potential enterprises nationwide. Huainan Provincial Bank also took advantage of the Merchants Investment Company's outlets to bring financial loan business out of Huainan. It is expected that this year it will also increase its investment in loan funds to fully support the work of the Merchants Investment Company.

After chatting with Wei Xiaoyan for a while, Fang Zhicheng felt a little more at ease. Although the municipal government has not yet passed the new investment promotion policy, he can seek help from Dongtai Investment Promotion Company, which may bring certain stimulation to the economic environment of the entire district.

Investment promotion is aimed at catching big fish, but if sufficient funds can be provided to small and medium-sized enterprises in the district to help them achieve short-term turnover, this will be beneficial to the economic environment of the entire district.

However, the new policy has cost the people in Xiaguang District a lot of energy, and they must fight for it, but for now they can only slow down and see if they can find a breakthrough.

Just as he was frowning in deep thought, there was a knock on the door. Shang Yan walked in with a pile of materials and reported: "Boss, this is the information you wanted."

Fang Zhicheng pointed to the edge of the table and said, "Leave it there. I'll take a closer look later."

Shang Yan showed a look of doubt in his eyes, then walked out of the office without saying a word.

Fang Zhicheng asked Shang Yan to find materials related to the District Finance Bureau in the past two years from the General Affairs Office. In fact, there was no special purpose. He just felt that he did not have a particularly good understanding of the district's finances, so he wanted to supplement his knowledge in this area.

The government financial system is a very complex system that is rarely understood by an outsider.

When Fang Zhicheng was in Dongtai, he served as the executive deputy county magistrate, so he had been exposed to financial work and did not find the materials difficult to read.

Flipping through the documents casually, Fang Zhicheng quickly discovered that there were many problems in the financial work of Xiaguang District. The biggest impression was that the district financial documents were vague about some important issues.

As he continued to look through the documents, Fang Zhicheng's expression became more and more solemn, because he did not expect to find so many financial risks from these documents.

First, the fiscal revenue growth rate has slowed down in the past two years and is significantly lower than the national level. The district government analyzed the reasons and simply attributed it to the exemption of agricultural taxes, without conducting a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal revenue of the entire district.

Secondly, the fund management is not standardized. Compared with large enterprises and companies, the professional quality of the financial staff in the district is still a problem. When sorting out the financial data of the district, they are not professional enough. At the same time, there are a lot of negligence when managing funds, resulting in fund loopholes. The so-called fund loophole means that some money is not known where it is used;

Finally, there is a lack of principle in financial management. The use of some funds is changed at will, the budget plan is not implemented, special funds are misappropriated and squeezed, and at the same time, departments at all levels also distribute various nominal benefits in violation of regulations.

It would have been better if Fang Zhicheng hadn't read it. After reading it carefully, he was shocked. He didn't expect that the financial work in Xiaguang District was so bad. When he was in Dongtai, he felt that there was still room for improvement in the financial work. Now, compared with Dongtai, Xiaguang District is many steps behind.

The poor financial performance of Xiaguang District also indirectly reflects the situation in Hanzhou. The situation in other counties and districts is probably not much better. However, the city's financial system has turned a blind eye to this situation, which is obviously dereliction of duty.

After Fang Zhicheng finished reading the last page, he immediately called Cheng Hao. Half an hour later, Cheng Hao rushed to Fang Zhicheng's office from outside.

Fang Zhicheng placed the materials next to Cheng Hao's hand and whispered, "Take a look at these documents..."

Cheng Hao quickly realized what he was referring to, and said with a wry smile, "I have already studied the documents and materials of the financial system, and I am going to report to you soon."

Fang Zhicheng showed a solemn expression on his face, and said: "The district's fiscal deficit is serious, there are loopholes in the fund details, the office staff has poor professional ability, and the management system is equivalent to non-existent. You did not report such a big thing to me in time, which is a serious dereliction of duty."

Cheng Hao smiled helplessly and said, "Secretary Fang, I must explain to you that I am aware of these situations, but I have just taken over the finance department, so I haven't had time to come up with the right solution. In addition, the district finances are directly controlled by the municipal finance department. In other words, although I am the executive deputy district mayor and in charge of financial work, the city has more influence on finance than I do."

Fang Zhicheng was aware of this when he was the district mayor. The levels of the Hanzhou City financial system are closely linked, which makes the Finance Bureau very powerful in the work of the district government and has a strong voice.

Of course, all this is because of Executive Vice Mayor Zhao Liang.

Fang Zhicheng had another plan in mind. If your financial system was doing a good job and people couldn't find fault with you, then you should be strong. But now you have a lot of problems and you're being so arrogant. Aren't you obviously asking people to fire at you

Seeing Fang Zhicheng's uncertain face, Cheng Hao actually felt uneasy. After all, he didn't have enough control over the financial work at the moment, so he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Fang Zhicheng tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers and said in a deep voice: "You must provide me with a summary of the problems in the district's financial system and a remedy plan as soon as possible. I will use it!"

Chapter 0619 Miracles Still Happen

Cheng Hao walked out of Fang Zhicheng's office and realized that Fang Zhicheng was going to challenge Zhao Liang head-on.

Although he knew that his boss was very courageous, Cheng Hao was still a little worried. After all, Zhao Liang was too confident. There were many versions of the story about Zhao Liang in Hanzhou. Some said that his father-in-law was a powerful leader in the Ministry of Finance, and some said that Zhao Liang's brother was a close friend of a vice premier. In short, no one knew why Zhao Liang could get so many special funds every year, but everyone knew that Zhao Liang was very capable.

As for why Zhao Liang is qualified to be so awesome, it is all because of his ability to “run around to the ministry to get money”!

Hanzhou's economic development has not improved in recent years. It is difficult to pay the salaries of many civil servants relying solely on the city's tax revenue, let alone increase the income level of these civil servants every year? Zhao Ling obtained financial support from the ministries and commissions, most of which supported the construction of projects in the region, and a small part was used to subsidize the salaries of civil servants. Therefore, the civil servants in Hanzhou are obviously a level better than those in several surrounding Huaizhong cities, and are not much lower than those in several developed cities in the south, such as Yinzhou and Dengchang.
