The news about the visit spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout Long 'an County, causing quite a stir. This meant that the new Secretary had started to move people after taking office. Some people were eager to take action, spreading the news and using all kinds of connections to get promoted. There were also some people who were envious and jealous, but because they had no connections and no money, they could only sit on the bench.
This visit was just a small test. Lu Yiwei did not plan to make any large-scale adjustments. Everything could wait until the end of the three lectures. Carrying out the activities was the carrier, and finding outstanding talents was the key. During this period, he had studied the leaders of all levels in the county, and now it was time to see who could stand out in this activity. He had an idea of how to move people. He had to vigorously promote a batch of young cadres, and he could not let the cadres of Long 'an have no successors.
Lu Yiwei's phone kept ringing. He was especially busy today. Needless to say, they were all inquiring about the visit. He did not want to answer, so he gave the phone to Xu Changyuan and let him deal with it.
At 3: 30 pm, Zhang Zhiyuan arrived in Long 'an. As he did not want outsiders to know, Lu Yiwei asked Hu Peng to receive him, and rushed to the hotel after finishing his work.
Lu Yiwei was excited to see his old leader in a foreign land. After arriving in Long 'an, many people came to visit, but it was Zhang Zhiyuan's first time. When they met, they did not show any strong enthusiasm, as if they were family, and asked about each other's well-being. The entourage seemed to know the relationship between the two, and took the initiative to leave the hall after greeting them.
Zhang Zhiyuan was still in high spirits as usual. His thick black hair was combed back, and he wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his fair and clean face. He was dressed in the typical leading cadre attire of a white shirt with a lapel jacket, trousers, and black leather shoes. He looked smart and neat. He did not seem to be affected by the previous storm, and looked around. "When I came, I thought that Long 'an was backward and shabby, but it is beyond my imagination. The standard of this hotel is no less than a five-star hotel, and it is even higher than the provincial hotels. Hehe."
Lu Yiwei could not laugh, and added, "The hotel. The County party committee building was rebuilt last year, and it represents the image of the county. Why don't I take you for a walk? "
Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, maybe next time. This is a private event, I only represent myself. "
"Does that mean you can't take a look around?"
Zhang Zhiyuan had some misgivings, but he still refused and said, "I just came to see you. I have to go back to River East later. This place is too far. It's not easy to come here."
"Yeah, it will take about five hours to get to the provincial capital."
Zhang Zhiyuan gazed at him, his eyes full of love. He smiled and said, "You're thinner, darker, and more haggard than before. You must be under a lot of pressure, right?"
Lu Yiwei sighed and said, "When I followed you and Secretary Bai in the past, I felt that being an official was pretty good. But now that I'm in a leadership position, I'm really powerless. Fortunately, I've been influenced by what I've seen and heard, or else I wouldn't have been able to open the bolt. "
"Yes, being an official isn't a good job. You have to be tense all the time. Others can stay still, but you have to move. If he slacked off even a little, he might fall behind in his work. There's no rush. Let's take it slowly. There's always a process, and it'll be fine once you get used to it. "
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "How can I not be anxious? There's a lot of things to do, and all of them are urgent. I've been worried to death recently."
"Is it because of the Longjiang Coal Industry?"
Lu Yiwei looked up at him and said in surprise, "You know about it too?"
Zhang Zhiyuan adjusted his sitting posture and said, "I had dinner with Mr. Jin of the Provincial Coal and Coke Group last night. He told me about it. He has already talked to Governor Liao about this matter, and Governor Liao seems to have called Mayor Ma Feifei to continue the contract. "
Lu Yiwei said anxiously, "The provincial leaders only said a few words, but they don't know the actual situation. The village where the Longjiang Coal Industry is located has been restless for the past two days. They are determined to take back the contract. On one side are the leaders, and on the other side are the villagers. Which side should I side with? "
Zhang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and said, "What do you think?"
"I …"
Zhang Zhiyuan saw that Lu Yiwei had something to say and comforted him. "Don't be influenced by others. Just do what you think. The provincial leaders are just suggestions. The final decision is still in your hands."
Lu Yiwei said, "That's what I'm thinking. I plan to restructure Longjiang Coal Industry."
"Restructuring?"
"Yes. Let Longjiang Coal Industry sell a part of its shares to the County, and the County will set up a company to buy the shares. In addition, private capital can also come in. This way, we can solve the conflict between the state-owned enterprises and the local government, and also increase the capital and scale. "
Zhang Zhiyuan listened for a long time and did not say anything. He studied economics and had led the restructuring of a company before. His idea was to let the state retreat and the people advance. After all, private enterprises were more dynamic. No matter which model it was, there were pros and cons, but it must follow the situation and the policies. He thought for a long time and said, "Your idea is good, but will Longjiang Coal Industry agree?"
"I plan to talk to the person in charge tonight, and if possible, I will make this happen as soon as possible. As for the County, I have asked the Economic and Trade Bureau. There are many companies under them, or they can set up a new company to participate in the operation. This will be difficult, but I want to give it a try. Chairman Jin of the Coal and Coke Group still needs your help. "
Zhang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "No matter what decision you make, you must be cautious. After all, this is related to the people's livelihood, and any carelessness will affect the overall situation. Chairman Jin can ask for some advice, but the other party might not agree. Also, the Provincial Government will be making a big move on the coal industry. For safety reasons, they might overturn the original model and let the state-owned enterprises take over. "
Lu Yiwei was shocked. "What? The state will advance, and the people will retreat? Isn't this reversing history? "
"There is no other way. Human lives are at stake, and no one dares to let their guard down. In recent years, there have been many accidents in the coal mines, and most of them are from private enterprises. Excessive pursuit of profits has led to slow technological innovation, reluctance to invest, lack of attention to safety, and disregard for lives. If we do not control this, the situation will become more serious. This is only the Provincial Government's initial idea. As for how to implement it, we still need further research. "
"Oh, that means Long An's coal mines might be taken over?"
"Yes. This is internal information. Don't leak it out yet. This is a huge project, and it will take a few years before it can be implemented. Governor Zhao has already arranged for the relevant personnel to investigate this matter. "
Lu Yiwei thought for a long time and said, "Then you mean I should take it slow?"
"It won't affect you. You can do whatever you want. The restructuring of a company is a complicated system. When we were restructuring in Nan Yang County, we also faced many obstacles. Be prepared to fight a tough battle and bite a tough bone. If we can't handle it, all our efforts will be in vain. "
