Chapter 492 Data Falsification
A week later, the government approved Qi Tongwei's recommendation and formally appointed Li Dakang as deputy secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, secretary of the provincial government's party group, and acting governor.
After Li Dakang took office, he began a province-wide investigation tour, and took the opportunity to correct the situation in which local economies were dominated by real estate.
With Li Dakang in charge of finances, Qi Tongwei felt a lot more relaxed.
Because his son Qi Jinrui would go to work in Jinming County in a month, Qi Tongwei seized the opportunity to teach him some unspoken rules and experiences in officialdom.
So for the next month, Qi Tongwei taught his son while working, and finished the teaching just before he left.
After a month of study, Qi Jinrui no longer has any problems with the theory and only the practice remains.
"Jinrui, mom and dad have repeatedly told you what to say and what not to say. Wish you a safe journey and a bright future!" Qi Tongwei hugged his son.
"I understand. Dad and Mom, I remembered everything you said." Qi Jinrui hugged Qi Tongwei and Pei Qianqian one after another.
Then, Pei Qianqian's driver sent Qi Jinrui to the airport. Qi Tongwei and Pei Qianqian had special identities and did not go to the airport to see their son off.
After sending her son away, Pei Qianqian complained: "Why didn't you leave your son in the government department or Handong? Why did you let him go to the west?"
"Xiaorui has never suffered any hardship since he was young. Letting him go to the West to gain some experience will be helpful for his future growth. Besides, you secretly sent two bodyguards, so your son will not suffer any harm." Qi Tongwei comforted his wife.
"How did you know?" Pei Qianqian asked nervously, afraid that Qi Tongwei would call the bodyguard back.
Qi Tongwei stroked his wife's hair, then said, "I agree with sending a bodyguard. My son has never experienced struggle, so training is important, but we also have to ensure his safety."
Qi Tongwei did not object to bodyguards, he just wanted them to protect Qi Jinrui secretly and prevent him from being set up or assassinated. Although the probability of this is extremely low, it does not mean that it will not happen.
He also did not plan to let his son stay in Jinming for too long. At most three years, he would be transferred to Qin Province to work. He could not let him work at the grassroots level all the time, otherwise he would easily lose his overall view.
Qi Jinrui didn't think too much about it. He went to the holy land with aspirations, thinking of changing the backward appearance with his own knowledge. Although this idea was quite naive, it was also one of the motivations for him to climb up.
On the other hand, after nearly three months, Handong has basically completed the real estate reform, and housing prices have dropped to a reasonable range.
Li Dakang, who is in charge of the housing reform, did not lower his requirements for the economy just because of the real estate rectification. This GDP fanatic attaches great importance to economic data.
He also asked all cities and counties to overcome difficulties and ensure healthy economic development.
Everyone knows Li Dakang's character, so many people started to think of some crooked tricks for political achievements.
……
Jinghai City, Liuhe County, County Party Committee Office.
"Secretary Cao, these are the economic data for the third quarter." County Mayor Tan Yifan handed the economic data report to Liuhe County Party Committee Secretary Cao Yu.
Cao Yu reached out and took the report. His eyes quickly scanned the densely packed data on it. His face instantly turned gloomy, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds.
The more he looked, the deeper his frown became, because every piece of economic data showed a clear downward trend.
If this trend continues, Liuhe County's economy will inevitably experience negative growth this year.
He has been working as the county party secretary for seven years and is looking for a transfer. If Liuhe's economy shows negative growth, it may affect his promotion.
"County Magistrate Tan, what is going on?" Cao Yu suddenly raised his head, staring at Tan Yifan, his voice unconsciously rising octaves.
He was extremely anxious at this moment, and his tone was full of questioning and dissatisfaction.
Tan Yifan looked worried, sighed helplessly, and slowly said: "Secretary Cao, you know the situation in our county. The real estate economy has always been the pillar industry in the county, accounting for as much as 40% of the county's total economy.
But now, the provincial party committee has made great efforts to crack down on the real estate economy, and we have been unable to find a new economic growth point to replace it, so the economic data has fallen instead of rising! "
Of course, Cao Yu was aware of the actual situation in Liuhe County. The resources here were relatively scarce, the economic structure was relatively single, and the degree of dependence on the real estate economy was indeed very high.
"County Magistrate Tan, now is not the time to sigh and complain. We must act immediately and try every possible way to reverse the current situation.
Otherwise, the economy will definitely experience negative growth this year. How can we report such a poor performance to the municipal and provincial party committees? " Cao Yu said, tapping the table with his fingers, his brows knitted tightly into a knot.
Tan Yifan looked outside the door, then whispered, "Secretary Cao, now we can only think of a way with the data."
As soon as Cao Yu heard it, he knew what Tan Yifan was planning. He was going to modify the report data and use false data to report his work. However, he did not object at the first time. Instead, he considered the feasibility.
"If we modify the data, how can we fill the economic hole? We may not even be able to pay the cadres' salaries. Once things get out of hand, it will be troublesome." Cao Yu pointed out the biggest difficulty faced in modifying the data.
Modifying the data is simple, which is just changing a number on the report, but after the modification, the corresponding taxes and fees will have to be paid more, and the funds allocated by superiors will also be reduced accordingly.
Although this will temporarily avoid criticism, how to operate it next year will be a big problem, and you may even lose your job.
Tan Yifan was well prepared, and whispered, "Deputy County Chief Liu Shujie has come up with an idea. We can think of a way to increase non-tax revenue.
Ask the public security, traffic police, court, market supervision bureau and other units to increase their income from fines and confiscations. I asked someone to calculate it. If all goes well, the non-tax revenue alone can reach 5 million yuan in one quarter.
With the 500 million yuan as a guarantee, plus some bank loans, some project payments can be postponed, and some unnecessary expenses can be cut, and the situation will be manageable.”
Cao Yu's eyes lit up. For him, as long as he could deal with it, it would be fine. He was not prepared to stay in Liuhe for the rest of his life. He would not care about the flood after he left.
However, he is the county party secretary and the economy is not under his control, so he can shirk responsibility.
He rolled his eyes and said to Tan Yifan, "County Magistrate Tan, I will go to the city this afternoon to see if I can ask the Municipal Finance Bureau for some money.
You are responsible for holding a small meeting with the heads of the units involved in non-tax revenue (fines and confiscations) and the finance, audit and other units to convey this message. "
When Tan Yifan heard this, his face instantly turned ugly. Obviously, he had already realized that Cao Yu's move was an attempt to shirk responsibility.
But before he could refute, Cao Yu immediately added: "Also, County Magistrate Tan, there are a few special requirements for this meeting.
First, there is no need to turn on monitoring equipment in the meeting room;
Secondly, no one is allowed to bring cameras or recording devices into the venue;
Finally, participants were not allowed to bring even paper into the meeting room. We only had to deliver the information that needed to be delivered, and there were no minutes of the meeting.”
After Cao Yu finished saying these words, Tan Yifan's originally tense expression finally relaxed a little.
Although he knew very well that Cao Yu just wanted to shift the blame, the other party was the top leader of the party and the government, and he was the actual person in charge of government work, so he had no way to refuse.
After much thought, Tan Yifan finally decided to do as Cao Yu said, but he decided to leave the specific work to the deputy county magistrate.
His purpose is the same as Cao Yu's, which is to shirk responsibility.
