Among the 11 members of the Standing Committee, more than half of them were Liu Zhankui's people. Once the meeting was held to discuss important matters, he would be in a disadvantageous position as the convener and host of the Standing Committee. He was afraid that the other party would take over his power. This was not an alarmist talk, and it was very likely to happen.
Needless to say, Qiu Yingxue would definitely be on his side. Sun Gensheng had already won the vote last night, and he should support him. Jiang Zhentao was Liu Zhankui's man, but as the director of the County party committee, he knew his role and position, and it was very likely that he would choose to abstain. He Qisen, the head of the Publicity Department, and Shen Chen, the head of the Organization Department, were fence-sitters and would probably abstain. There was also the head of the Armed Forces, Shen Anren. He was a foreigner, but he had been in Long 'an for many years, and it was unknown if he had political awareness. As for the rest, they would definitely support Liu Zhankui.
He rehearsed the Standing Committee in his mind. Including his 3 votes in favor, 3 abstaining, and 1 uncertain vote, the remaining 4 votes were in the hands of Liu Zhankui. Even if Shen Anren voted in favor, it would be a tie of 4 to 4, and it would still not pass. If he could win over Jiang Zhentao, the situation would be reversed.
Before this, there had been two Standing Committee meetings, and they were all about the matters related to the previous accident. These two meetings were considered successful, and all the votes were in favor. Even Liu Zhankui voted in favor. This was related to the major interests of the County, and no matter how big the grievances were, the overall situation was the most important. No one dared to go against politics and joke around with their future.
As he was thinking, the car had arrived at the Finance Department.
The Long 'an County Government was located in Chengguan Town, and the built-up area had jurisdiction over 8 villages and 4 communities. The government agencies were scattered in the villages, and the Finance Department was located in the relatively wealthy Guanbei Village.
After the car stopped, the people from the Finance Department stood at the door to welcome them. When Lu Yiwei got off the car, they all had bright smiles on their faces. They all wanted to leave a good impression in front of the new Secretary. Director Liang Haiping stretched out his wide hand and shook it heavily. "Welcome, Secretary Lu, to the Finance Department for research and guidance."
Lu Yiwei looked around. The courtyard was clean, and there was a welcome banner hanging in front of the building. The windows were full of people looking at him. This scene reminded him of the scene in North River Town. They were both watching from the window, but their state of mind was completely different.
With cameras and cameras pointed at him, Lu Yiwei's heart was filled with complicated emotions that could not be described with words. In the province, they had to bow and scrape, but in Long'an County, they could stand tall and look down on everything.
After shaking hands with them one by one, Liang Haiping took him to visit the Accounting Center, the Final Accounting Hall, and the Treasury Center. In the following meeting, he represented the Finance Bureau to report the work of the year and plans for the next year. While he was reporting, Lu Yiwei listened attentively and quickly recorded the key data in his notebook as he prepared to speak later.
After he finished his report, Lu Yiwei said with a serious expression, "Report the expenditure again."
Liang Haiping suddenly became nervous and read the speech again. Lu Yiwei caught the key point and said, "The annual infrastructure expenditure is as high as 220 million yuan, and the official reception expenses are more than 80 million yuan. That is to say, these two expenses are about 300 million yuan, and the annual revenue is only 140 million yuan. Is it a balance?"
Liang Haiping looked at the Deputy Director beside him and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Secretary Lu, it's like this. We have a surplus at the end of every year in order to complete the next year's task. Also, a part of the revenue has been handed over to the Treasury, and the rest has not been returned … "
"I'm not asking you about this." Lu Yiwei interrupted. "I want to ask, how did the official reception expenses come about?"
Liang Haiping's face was solemn, and he had a faint smile on his face. He could not figure out what Lu Yiwei was talking about. The expenditure of this part of the money could not be explained in this kind of meeting. After all, there were news media. Some things could not be publicized and could only be discussed in private.
Lu Yiwei did it on purpose. He paused for a moment and said, "I just listened to your budget plan for next year. It involves the reconstruction of 12 office buildings. Just this part alone will cost more than 20 million. Are you trying to develop the economy? Are you trying to encourage unhealthy tendencies? Money should be used wisely, not carelessly. All the office buildings will be suspended and will not be considered for the time being. If there are any buildings that are dangerous, report to me and apply for it. "
Lu Yiwei's words were loud and clear. Everyone looked at each other in dismay, not daring to make a sound. Xu Changyuan stood up and whispered to the cameraman. "Do you have any political acumen? Turn off the camera."
The cameraman's face turned red and turned off the camera.
Lu Yiwei looked around and continued. "After listening to Chief Liang's report, I am satisfied. I can see that everyone here is working hard, and the County party committee has given their approval. Long An's foundation is weak, and the income is low. This is the reality, and it cannot be changed in a short time. But there are more than 100 enterprises in the County, and 6 of them are large enterprises. Just Xin Sheng Coal Mine's annual income is a few hundred million, and our revenue is less than one-third of it. I will not point out some things, and you all can think about it yourselves. What is the problem? "
"Next year, our finance department will focus on 5 major sectors. Transportation, agriculture, people's livelihood, education, and government employees' salaries. The county had decided to carry out transportation construction, vigorously develop modern agriculture, fully guarantee the livelihood of the people, and comprehensively upgrade the education environment. The investment should be appropriately tilted towards these areas. As for the rest, we will postpone it. "
Lu Yiwei did not speak for more than an hour like the other leaders. His words were short and concise, and his words were concise. As long as he accurately expressed his meaning, it would be fine. As for whether they could understand, it would depend on their ability to understand.
After the meeting, Lu Yiwei did not stay in the Finance Department for long and drove to the Public Security Bureau.
The Public Security Bureau's Chief, Zhou Fanlin, and the rest of the leaders stood in a row in the courtyard. They saluted Dong Xuebing and ran over to shake his hand. "Welcome, Secretary Lu, to the Public Security Bureau."
Lu Yiwei smiled, looked up at the office building and said: "Chief Zhou's official residence is really grand."
Zhou Fanlin did not understand the meaning behind Dong Xuebing's words and smiled. "It was built last year, and we have to thank the County party committee and the County Government for providing a good working environment for our officers."
Lu Yiwei pointed to a row of police cars parked by the side. "These are also new?"
"Yes. We bought 50 police cars at the beginning of this year, and we replaced all the old police cars. We want to use a brand new image to serve the people."
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Good. The working conditions are better, and the equipment is updated. I wonder how is their combat effectiveness?"
