In Zhang Zhiyuan's office, Zhang Zhiyuan and Kang Dong were in the middle of a power struggle.
As mentioned earlier, Kang Dong used to be a businessman, but he somehow managed to get into the officialdom. His career was smooth sailing, from a staff member to a deputy director, no one could compare to him. It was widely rumored that Kang Dong was promoted because of his relationship with the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, Tian Chunqiu. Tian Chunqiu did not seem to shy away from this point, and he had stood up for Kang Dong several times.
For example, when he was appointed as the Nanyang County Party Committee's Deputy Secretary, most of the people in the Standing Committee would not agree. After all, he had just been appointed as the Deputy County Head for slightly more than a year, and he had jumped three levels to become the Deputy Secretary. Who would be willing to accept this?
Tian Chunqiu had put in a lot of effort for Kang Dong. He put down his pride and talked to the Standing Committee members one by one, and said, "I can be democratic in other matters, but I have to be centralized when it comes to Kang Dong!"
The Municipal Party Committee's Deputy Secretary, Guo Jinzhu, asked curiously, "Why?"
Tian Chunqiu said with a gloomy face, "There are some things that I can't explain in a short time. Comrade Jinzhu, I hope you can support my work this time."
Guo Jinzhu had no reason to refuse, and neither did the other Standing Committee members. The Standing Committee unanimously agreed to appoint Kang Dong as the County Party Committee's Deputy Secretary.
As for Kang Dong's background, people only knew that he was from the provincial capital, Jiangdong City, and that he ran a large company at a young age. He later transferred to Bei Zhou City, and that was all. As for the rest, no one knew too much. This official, who was both an official and a businessman, had become a mystery in people's hearts.
Guo Jinzhu did not know, and Zhang Zhiyuan was even more clueless. However, Zhang Zhiyuan firmly believed that Kang Dong's background was not as simple as it seemed, so he usually treated him with respect. When he was the deputy head of the county, he was often not in Nanyang. Zhang Zhiyuan did not say much and just turned a blind eye to it. Now it was different. Kang Dong became the Deputy Secretary, which shortened the distance between the two. Some things even had to be discussed. Regarding tomorrow's Chuangwei mobilization meeting, Zhang Zhiyuan needed to sit down with Kang Dong and discuss it together.
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Secretary Kang, if I remember correctly, this is the first time we sat down and talked seriously."
Kang Dong said in a frivolous manner, "County Zhang, are you blaming me?"
"No, no!" "That's not what I meant," Zhang Zhiyuan immediately replied. "I'm just reflecting on myself. It's my fault for not communicating with you in time when you were the Deputy County Head. You are now the Deputy Party Secretary, and Secretary Liu is not at home. There are only the two of us in the County party committee. We need to discuss the decision-making matters together. "
"What's the matter?" Kang Dong obviously did not fall for Zhang Zhiyuan's trick. He looked absent-minded, smoking and shaking his legs.
Zhang Zhiyuan said patiently, "Tomorrow, Mayor Su will come to supervise the work of Chuangwei. You can participate in our county's Chuangwei mobilization meeting. As for the supervision, I asked Comrade Changyun to implement it. Let's discuss the mobilization meeting. This is what I think. I will speak at the mobilization meeting on behalf of the government, and you will preside over the meeting on behalf of the County party committee. What do you think? "
"Oh, this matter!" Kang Dong flicked the cigarette ash, then looked up at Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "Do you need me to do this?" Kang Dong said this sentence with obvious anger.
Logically speaking, there was no conflict between Kang Dong and Zhang Zhiyuan. The two came to Nanyang County one after another, and there was no friction in work or life. Why did Kang Dong target Zhang Zhiyuan? The contradiction originated from this work of Chuangwei.
When Kang Dong was the deputy county magistrate, he was in charge of urban construction work, and most of the functions of Chuangwei work belonged to urban construction. This work should be handled by Kang Dong, but Zhang Zhiyuan did not discuss with him and directly recommended Duan Zhangyun, the chairman of the CPPCC, to be the deputy commander-in-chief, which made Kang Dong very uncomfortable.
Later, Kang Dong also asked Liu Kecheng about this matter. Liu Kecheng deliberately created contradictions and said that I recommended you to preside over this work at the beginning, but County Magistrate Zhang firmly disagreed, saying that you are often not in Nanyang and are not familiar with the work in Nanyang. Relatively speaking, Comrade Duan Zhangyun has been in Nanyang for many years. He is an old revolutionary and a county leader. He is more suitable to do this work than Kang Dong. Kang Dong listened to Liu Kecheng's one-sided words, and the estrangement between him and Zhang Zhiyuan became deeper and deeper.
In fact, this matter was not big, but it was not small either. To put it in a big way, Zhang Zhiyuan did not care about Kang Dong, and deliberately wanted to take away his power. To put it in a small way, it was the lack of necessary communication that led to today's misunderstanding.
When Zhang Zhiyuan heard Kang Dong's words, he was stunned, and his raised hand hung in the air for a long time. A few seconds later, Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Secretary Kang, you are the deputy secretary, of course, we need you. Secretary Liu is not here, and the work of the County party committee is entrusted to you. I still have a lot of things to do with the government, and I can't do as I wish. "
Kang Dong extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette and said, "County Magistrate Zhang, I want to tell you something. I will take a day off tomorrow for my mother's birthday. I am the only son in my family, and it is my 70th birthday. Do you think I should go back? "
"Oh," Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Kang Dong, who was younger than him. It seemed that Kang Dong did not want to give him face on purpose. Without any hesitation, he said, "Since Secretary Kang has something to do, then I won't force you. After all, family matters are also important. Alright, go and do what you need to do, and send my regards to my mother. "
"You're welcome!" Kang Dong stood up, strode forward, opened the office door, and slipped away. On the other hand, Zhang Zhiyuan sat in his office and fell into deep thoughts.
Zhang Zhiyuan initially thought that his work would be easier after Liu Kecheng left. But he never expected that after Liu Kecheng left, Kang Dong came. Furthermore, this Kang Dong was more scheming than Liu Kecheng, not to mention that he had the support of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. It seemed that his series of new policies would suffer a setback.
Kang Dong's attitude was obvious, and he put on a posture to go against Zhang Zhiyuan. What mother's birthday? If it was really a birthday, why was he still sitting here today? Wouldn't he have gone home to take care of it? This was just an excuse. Since the other party had no intention to participate in government affairs, then let him be.
What Zhang Zhiyuan could not figure out was that he and Kang Dong had no enmity. Why was he against him?
Since he could not figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. Zhang Zhiyuan picked up an article about the "Western Development" on the table and read it carefully.
The Third Plenary Session of the Fifteenth Central Committee proposed the strategy of the Western Development for the first time. This was a golden opportunity for Nanyang County, which was located in the west. Zhang Zhiyuan was planning how to catch the train of the Western Development and let Nanyang develop quickly. Chuangwei was a springboard, and enterprise reform was a foundation. What made Zhang Zhiyuan really concerned was the transportation hub of Nanyang.
As someone who came from the transportation system, he knew how important transportation was to the development of a place. This point had been confirmed at the beginning of the reform and opening up. Guchuan County was a good example. The highway was built, the train was built, the grain and vegetables were sold, and the economic market was activated. It was hard not to develop.
If you wanted to be rich, you had to build roads first. Everyone understood this principle, but for a mountain city, building a road was as difficult as it could be. Not to mention the complex geographical environment and geological structure, where the money came from was completely baffling to Zhang Zhiyuan. Although he studied economics, a clever woman could not cook without rice, so Zhang Zhiyuan planned to make an article from coal.
Today's Nanyang County had many coal mines, but most of them were illegal coal mines without procedures, causing a large loss of state assets. The money flowed into the pockets of a few people, but the county finance had no revenue, which was also a main reason for Nanyang's poverty.
For example, Nanyang County's fiscal revenue last year, excluding various taxes, there was only more than 60 million yuan left. This more than 60 million yuan was only enough for the normal operation of such a large county. The salaries and benefits of public officials accounted for the majority, and education, agriculture, social security, and so on, which did not need to spend money, so there was not much left. It was impossible to talk about projects.
Therefore, the purpose of enterprise reform was to plug the gap of tax evasion. With money, everything else could be implemented. Zhang Zhiyuan had great expectations for Bai Yuxin, hoping that he could take down this difficult task. He was also prepared. As long as Bai Yuxin could advance this work, he could think of all ways, at all costs, and go all out to support him. Even if Bai Yuxin repeated the same mistakes, he would unswervingly support him.
Zhang Zhiyuan accidentally saw yesterday's People's Daily and saw the news of the President's research and inspection in Guangdong Province. There was also an editorial below. The title was enlarged in scarlet characters: "On the Relationship between 'Reform, Development, and Stability'." Zhang Zhiyuan was very interested, so he read it carefully.
After reading it, he was full of joy. He thought about the theory of socialist construction of Chairman Mao and Chief Designer Deng again, and suddenly had an idea in his heart. So he waved the pen and wrote: "Seek Truth from Facts, Mass Line." "Development is the absolute truth." "Reform, Development, Stability."
After writing it, he was not satisfied. He remembered the slogan that the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee had been shouting in recent years, so he picked up the pen and added: "Development is to get results from reform."
After finishing, Zhang Zhiyuan was a little excited. He picked up the phone and called Lu Yiwei and said: "Come back for a while."
After Lu Yiwei rushed back, Zhang Zhiyuan handed the draft paper with the quotes to Lu Yiwei and said: "You can put the matter of Chuangwei aside first. I will give you a more difficult task. These four sentences will be made into a giant billboard and placed at the county boundary, the entrance of the county, and the entrance of the County party committee. I don't care what you do, you must put it up tonight. "
This task was indeed difficult. Lu Yiwei did not know what Zhang Zhiyuan was going to do, so he agreed without thinking and said: "Please rest assured, County Zhang, I promise to complete the task."
