Chapter 210 Xie Zhonglin sows discord
After comprehensive consideration of opinions from various parties, Qi Tongwei finally made a decision: to streamline approval items and conditions, and cancel those illegal, unreasonable, and unnecessary approval items.
In addition, he also clearly stipulated that all approval units involved must complete the approval work within five working days. Whether it is a rejection or approval, a detailed explanation must be given and a record must be kept for reference.
At the same time, employees and state-owned enterprise management are allowed to participate in profit sharing to increase their enthusiasm.
As soon as the news about state-owned enterprise reform released by Qi Tongwei came out, it immediately won enthusiastic support from major companies.
In Li Jun's words, Mayor Qi's move completely freed their hands and feet.
The cumbersome approval process has been simplified, allowing companies to conduct business more freely without being subject to various restrictions.
This undoubtedly played a positive role in promoting the development of enterprises and made the market environment more active.
Qi Tongwei's reforms satisfied enterprises, but people in relevant government departments were dissatisfied.
They believe that this is a disguised way of weakening their influence, and the real reason is that it gives them less opportunities to collect benefits.
"Secretary Huang, I disagree with Mayor Qi's approach to state-owned enterprise reform. His approach is likely to lead to corruption and the loss of state-owned assets.
It is even more undesirable to give dividends to the management of state-owned enterprises. Isn't this a capitalist practice? "Executive Vice Mayor Xie Zhonglin gave his feedback to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Huang Pengda with a serious face.
Originally, he assisted Qi Tongwei in managing these tasks, but Qi Tongwei convened a meeting of the party group of the municipal government and delegated a lot of power.
From now on he will have no right to manage state-owned entrepreneurs. Many of these enterprises used to be Xie Zhonglin's money bags. It would be strange if he was satisfied with Qi Tongwei's changes.
Huang Pengda looked at Xie Zhonglin and said calmly, "Old Xie, the date for our country to join the WTO has been set, which is December 12 this year.
Once we join the WTO, our companies will have to participate in international competition, and the situation will become even more difficult. If we continue to rely on the current management methods, I am afraid that competitiveness will be out of the question.
At the same time, joining the WTO also means that my country's economy will continue to be based on a market economy. Mayor Qi's actions are in line with market rules, and I think there is nothing wrong with him doing so.
Also, Mayor Qi had previously sought my opinion on the reform of state-owned enterprises, and I agreed.
The Standing Committee also discussed this, and the majority of the Standing Committee members agreed with Mayor Qi’s opinion.”
Huang Pengda’s meaning was very clear. Qi Tongwei’s approach was approved by the organization and there was no problem.
Seeing that Xie Zhonglin wanted to say something, Huang Pengda stopped him and continued: "You have been in charge of state-owned enterprises, so you should know Green Vine Industrial Development Co., Ltd.
Just two years ago, their general manager Li Jun discovered a business opportunity, but it was blocked by various departments for two years.
Our government can sometimes wait two years to build a bridge or pave a road, but how can business operations wait two years?
Mayor Qi told me that if the government had been able to complete the review within three months or even one month, Green Vine Industrial Development Co., Ltd. would have made hundreds of millions of dollars.
That’s hundreds of millions of dollars! It was destroyed just because of some inaction or reckless behavior of some leading officials.”
Huang Pengda became furious when he thought about hundreds of millions of dollars being lost. If this thing succeeded, he might be able to make a further step forward.
"Secretary Huang, although what you said makes sense, is Mayor Qi's plan too radical?
Will it bring more problems?
Isn't it too much to ask for hundreds of millions of dollars?" Xie Zhonglin asked unwillingly.
"Comrade Xie Zhonglin, you can't be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. If you are like this, you'd better not do any work.
As for the Internet, I have investigated it and read Li Jun's application. The loss of profits is definitely hundreds of millions of dollars." Huang Pengda said with some dissatisfaction.
Xie Zhonglin originally wanted to provoke Huang Pengda to fight against Qi Tongwei, but when he saw the other party's attitude today, he felt discouraged.
How could he know that the people behind Huang Pengda had already told the other party to fully cooperate with Qi Tongwei's work.
No matter what achievements Qi Tongwei has made, his contribution as the municipal party secretary is indispensable.
Huang Pengda was very clear that the sooner Qi Tongwei was promoted, the better. Once his superiors wanted to promote Qi Tongwei to be the municipal party secretary, they would have to find a position for himself, the former municipal party secretary.
As long as he doesn't make things difficult for Qi Tongwei and cooperates with him, perhaps he can become a deputy minister in three to five years.
He thought that Qi Tongwei coming to Luteng was a good thing for him. Xie Zhonglin's provocative words were only suitable for partners with ordinary backgrounds, but it would be less suitable if it happened to Qi Tongwei.
Xie Zhonglin left Huang Pengda's office unwillingly. Huang Pengda's attitude today completely disheartened him, and he was already considering his next move.
At the same time, after completing the research on state-owned enterprises, Qi Tongwei began to adopt an unannounced research approach, going deep into various places in Luteng City to start his research work.
However, he still underestimated the sincerity of these people. Every time he arrived at a place, his subordinates would be waiting there early, making his surprise investigation a fantasy.
Fortunately, Qi Tongwei had already sent Zhang Qiang and Liu Hu to investigate, and perhaps they could gain something.
But this time he was wrong. Zhang Jun and Liu Hu did not gain anything. Once asked about important things, all the people kept silent.
This made the two men feel very strange. Why did the people keep silent when it came to the critical moment? The two men couldn't figure it out and told Qi Tongwei about the situation.
Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment, then said: "Okay, I got it. Don't bother me anymore and go back to the company." Qi Tongwei asked the two to leave Lu Teng and not stay here.
After the two left, Qi Tongwei sat on the sofa with a solemn expression on his face.
He certainly wasn't naive enough to think that there were no problems in Green Vine City. Judging from the current situation, the problems here were probably more serious than he imagined.
People don’t even dare to speak out, which shows that the severity of the problem has exceeded the general public’s cognition.
However, even so, Qi Tongwei cannot act rashly now.
First, he came to Luteng as the mayor, with the purpose of boosting Luteng's economy.
If he starts cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil as soon as he arrives at Green Vine, wouldn't that be telling the world that Qi Tongwei is suitable for cracking down on gangs but not for governing a region?
You can say that he is selfish or that he has no concern for the people, but from Qi Tongwei's point of view, it is not possible to crack down on organized crime at the moment, and the focus should be on economic development.
Even if Qi Tongwei is determined to crack down on organized crime, the conditions are not ripe now.
Guo Wenjian is not yet the police chief. He cannot control the Public Security Bureau as he pleases, and he cannot determine who can be trusted and who cannot.
Another thing is that he had just arrived at Green Vine and didn't have many truly reliable people around him.
In this situation, if an investigation is conducted blindly, not only will it encounter numerous obstacles, it may also alert the enemy and allow the dark forces behind the scenes to escape.
Of course, this does not mean that Qi Tongwei doesn't care about anything.
First, he decided to start with small things and crack down on some evil forces such as village tyrants, vegetable tyrants and road tyrants in order to win the hearts of the people.
Although these gangsters are at the bottom of society, their existence affects the national economy and people's livelihood.
If we can get rid of these people, social security will be greatly improved and people’s lives will be happier.
Secondly, he will vigorously develop the economy and win the support of the people by improving people's livelihood.
Once he has established himself and his superiors have recognized his abilities, we can then start cracking down on organized crime. This will not only be twice as effective with half the effort, but it will also be difficult for the mastermind behind the scenes to escape.
