Professor Lin shook his head and said: "I don't deny that the Beijing Office has certain functions. As far as I know, the history of the Beijing Office can be traced back to the early hometown associations and guild halls. At that time, it Its function is nothing more than communicating the connection between the hometown and the capital, receiving local officials who come to Beijing for business trips and hometown students who come to Beijing to rush the exam, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the people of their hometown in Beijing, etc. With the development of the times, the Beijing Office is also absolutely outstanding. Not only the name change, but its functions and roles have already been greatly enriched and expanded. Since the early 1990s, the Beijing offices of various provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities have built liaison, reception, and service functions in Beijing. One-piece office buildings. These offices in Beijing occupying prime locations in the capital are generally named after the province where they are located. Just like your Haichuan Building, they are almost all star-rated luxury hotels."
"The reception target and service functions of the Beijing Office have also undergone tremendous changes. Its main functions are twofold: one is to attract investment, run ministries and commissions, ask for projects, and collect information; the other is to receive local leaders and related work in Beijing. Personnel, etc. These functions are still very important to the local authorities. But these do not mean that the Beijing Office is okay. In recent years, the corruption and various violations of the Beijing Office have caused a lot of high-level central government officials. Big attention.
"Maybe you all know that in the case of Li Zhen, the former director of the Hebei Provincial National Taxation Bureau, Wang Fuyou, the former director of the Hebei Provincial Government Office in Beijing, was sentenced to life imprisonment for corruption, embezzlement of public funds, and bribery; in the case of Cheng Kejie, Guangxi Li Yihong, deputy director of the Beijing Office of the Zhuang Autonomous Region Government, was investigated for the crime of bribery; in the Shenyang Mu Ma case, Cui Li, the director of the Shenyang Beijing Office, demanded bribes and was punished for embezzling public funds; Na Fengqi, director of the Daqing State Taxation Bureau, was punished for embezzlement and bribery. In the middle, Li Hongbo, the former deputy director of the Beijing Office of Daqing and Na Fengqi, were investigated for corruption; there were also Zhan Min, the former deputy director of the Guangzhou Office in Beijing and deputy director of the Beijing Guangzhou Building Preparation Office, and the former deputy director of the Jiangsu Office in Beijing. Director Wu Tingxiang... These relevant personnel of the Beijing Office have been punished for varying degrees of corruption. What does this show is that the Beijing Office has become a hotbed of corruption to some extent because of management chaos, and it has become a must The extent of it."
Professor Li looked at Professor Lin, smiled, and said, "Old Lin, I disagree with you in this regard. You said corruption. At what level from the central to the local level, there are no corruption incidents? If there is corruption, it will be revoked. It seems that few institutions in China can survive."
Professor Lin said: "Lao Li, you are extreme, always thinking that the whole of China is dark."
Professor Li said: "What's the matter, am I wrong? Lao Lin, you just refuse to face the facts. You tell me where there is no corruption from the central to the local? If you can tell, then I agree with you. In view, the recognition of the Beijing Office should be revoked."
Professor Lin laughed and said, "Lao Li, you have to challenge me, right? I also know that it is common in **** at present. This is an institutional problem, and it is exactly what we need now. solved problem."
The two professors quarreled, but they made Mu Guang and Fu Hua look at each other. Neither of them expected that the **** professor would dare to say so. One said that corruption is taking place in China, and the other said. This is a systemic issue. It is not in their hearts that they disagree with the teachings of these two professors, but they should be asked to speak out this point publicly. As officials, they really have to think about it.
The two professors ignored their embarrassment and continued their argument. Professor Li said, "Lao Lin, since you admit that this is an institutional problem, then you can't arbitrarily say that the Beijing Office needs to be revoked immediately. As the director Fu said, some fundamental issues have not changed, such as the central government’s fiscal transfer payment. If this is the case, you will cancel the Beijing Office, and the local authorities will still find a way. It has recovered in a disguised form. At that time, the Beijing Office will be moved to the underground and it will be even more difficult to manage."
Fu Hua smiled and said, "It seems that Professor Li does not approve of revocation?"
Professor Li smiled and said: "Of course, I do not agree with such a one-size-fits-all cancellation. It is like a child who is sick. You should find a way to cure the child's illness, rather than give the child a single stroke. killed."
Professor Lin laughed and said, "Old Li, don't you think I'm so cruel, OK?"
Professor Li said: "Although this analogy may not be appropriate, it can fully illustrate the nature of your approach."
Professor Lin said: "Well, if you say that my approach is not appropriate, then you can tell me an appropriate approach."
Professor Li said: "I have really thought about this issue. I think the Beijing Office should not be withdrawn, but management should be strengthened and put it on a standardized track. Besides, the Beijing Office should be more important to Beijing. In other words, it is also a big consumer power. So many people and so many organizations contribute to Beijing’s GDP every year. You have to know that if the annual funding of a Beijing office is conservatively calculated at 1 million yuan, all The total funding required by the Beijing Office is more than 10 billion yuan each year. This is not a small figure. If the Beijing Office is really to be withdrawn, the market in Beijing may be depressed for a period of time, so I think this is good for Beijing. That’s not a good thing either."
Professor Lin smiled and said, "Are you exaggerating?"
Professor Li smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, if you don't believe me, you can ask our Director Fu, how much is the funding of the Haichuan Beijing Office for one year?"
The two professors looked at Fu Hua. Fu Hua became a little embarrassed. He knew very well that the Beijing Office’s annual funding was definitely more than one million. He was even more worried that the two professors would ask where the funding was used. , A lot of the cost is spent on the place where the tabletop is not available. He smiled embarrassedly and said: "When these two professors, I can't say panic, I can only say that it should be more than the number that Professor Li said. The other is the working secrets of our Beijing Office, and it is not convenient for me to say. Up."
Professor Li laughed and said, "You don't want to say that we also know where the money is used, Director Fu, I want to know, you do some public relations work for the ministries and commissions, is it very troublesome?"
Fu Hua glanced at Mu Guang, and Mu Guang smiled and said: "Look at what I am doing, blocking the face of my two teachers, so you can say what you want."
Fu Hua laughed and said: "Then I'll tell the truth, it's really bothersome. The job of the Beijing Office is to deliver the gifts to the leaders without a trace, and do a good job of related public relations. Public relations requires a lot of thoughts. You should know the preferences of the heads of the ministries, commissions and bureaus, and then accompany them to play cards, travel, drink, listen to theaters, or buy calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. But be careful, gifts are not expensive If it’s expensive, it will cause trouble for others, and it can’t be too cheap. If it’s too cheap, people will think that you look down on them. The key is to do what you like. Sometimes this scale is difficult to grasp and it takes a lot of effort. How about it, I count it Tell the truth, right?"
Professor Lin smiled and said, "It should be considered as it is."
At this time, Mu Guang held up the wine glass and said with a smile: "The two teachers should not embarrass our Director Fu, his sweat is all gone. I asked the two teachers to come out, thinking of the weekend, to come out and relax. Let us Don't discuss such serious issues, come to us for a drink. Two teachers, I respect you."
The two professors laughed and both picked up their wine glasses, clinked glasses with Mu Guang, and began to drink. After drinking, the topic changed to Mu Guang’s study and life in the party school. Both teachers began to talk about their profession. Some views were avant-garde and some were conservative. They were quite different from many mainstream views nowadays. , Showing the distinct personalities of the two professors. Fu Hua just stayed with them, and basically couldn't say anything.
After the meal, Fu Hua drove the two professors and Mu Guang back to the party school. He thought that Mu Guang would also go back to the party school to live, but Mu Guang said that he would live in Haichuan Building this weekend. Mu Guang suddenly wanted to live in the Haichuan Building. Fu Hua was taken aback. He knew that Mu Guang didn't like living in the Beijing Office. Since Mu Guang studied in ****, he has not appeared at the Beijing Office for several weekends, and even on weekends he refused to bring Liu Gen with him. Fu Hua guessed that Mu Guang must have some private activities during the weekend, and he did not want people like Fu Hua to know about such activities.
Despite the accident, Fu Hua didn't say anything. In front of the superiors, he had only to obey, so he turned around and drove towards the Haichuan Building.
The two were silent for a while, and Mu Guang felt a little bored, so he had nothing to say: "Director Fu, today we talked about the cancellation of the Beijing Office. Do you think the Beijing Office might be cancelled?"
Fu Hua said: "It's hard to say, if the central government really makes up its mind, the Beijing Office will have to withdraw, right?"
Mu Guang smiled and said, "That's true, but, I think, this determination is not easy to make, right? There are too many interests involved in all aspects, and it is probably impossible to remove them all at once."
Fu Hua smiled and said: "Yes, I also don't think it is possible to remove it all at once. Just like Professor Li said, Beijing can't stand the removal of so many institutions at once."
Mu Guang said, "Yeah, eh, Director Fu, what do you think of my two teachers?"
Fu Hua laughed and said: "The level is very high. Some of the points they talked about later, I have never thought about it from that perspective. When they said that I realized that the original problem can also be viewed in this way. I really feel it in my heart. I admire them very much."
