In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Standing Committee meeting. In order to prevent canvassing for votes, Zhang Zhiyuan asked Ma Feifei, the deputy secretary of the County party committee, to convene a meeting with the candidates and set the rules. During the meeting, all the candidates must wait in the conference room on the fifth floor of the County party committee and could only move freely after the meeting.
At 9 am, the meeting officially began. This was the most orderly meeting Zhang Zhiyuan had ever seen since he arrived in Nanyang. In his impression, there were always people who were absent for various reasons. Today, all nine members of the Standing Committee were present. It seemed that the candidates had contributed greatly to the canvassing for votes.
Before the meeting, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly threw out a topic and said, "It's rare that everyone is here. The topic of today's meeting is more focused, which is to score the preliminary candidates and then select six from the highest to the lowest to enter the next round. Before the meeting, I have something else to say. "
"Since this year, our county has undergone profound changes. Two of the three industrial parks have shown initial results, and the other one is planned to start next year. In general, the economic situation is stabilizing with a slight trend of slow growth. However, it is certain that our fiscal revenue will exceed 100 million yuan by the end of the year. This is a historic breakthrough. "
As soon as this was said, the members of the Standing Committee whispered to each other and discussed. When Liu Kecheng was in charge of Nanyang, the fiscal revenue was maintained between 70 million and 80 million yuan for five years, and there were few breakthroughs. They did not expect Zhang Zhiyuan to exceed 100 million yuan in one go. It was thought-provoking.
Zhang Zhiyuan continued, "Do you know how this 100 million yuan came about?"
The members of the Standing Committee, who had been in a heated discussion just now, were now sitting there in a daze like puppets.
Zhang Zhiyuan ignored them and said, "Let me tell you, half of the contribution is due to the crackdown on illegal mining. Think about it, how large the profit chain is. This work cannot be stopped. We must form a long-term mechanism. We must crack down tomorrow and the year after. As long as I am in Nanyang, I will not stop! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Derong, who was sitting next to him, burped for some reason, causing some people to lower their heads and laugh.
Zhang Zhiyuan did not elaborate on this incident and said, "As you all know, the salary of our staff has not increased for many years, and the price of goods has been increasing rapidly. Our consumption level is far from keeping up with the rising price of goods. Currently, the average salary in the county was between 600 to 700 yuan, which was 2% lower than the neighboring counties and much lower than the urban areas. Two days ago, I discussed with County Yang and decided that from next year onwards, all the cadres and workers will receive a salary increase of 200 yuan. What do you think? "
This topic was no less than the election for deputy county magistrate. It was as if a heavy bomb had been thrown into the venue, and it instantly exploded. The members of the Standing Committee naturally did not rely on their salaries to live, but they had children and relatives. This was a good thing for them. Du Jiaming, the Deputy Director of the County party committee, was even more excited. Without waiting for the meeting to come to a decision, he secretly took out his phone and sent a group text message. For a moment, there was an uproar outside, spreading to every corner of Nan Yang County. In particular, the County party committee's sudden uproar indirectly supported Zhang Zhiyuan's wise decision.
For ordinary wage earners, only their hearts knew what 200 yuan meant. One thing was for sure, this year would be a good year.
The members of the Standing Committee expressed their opinions and expressed their agreement. Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said to Yang Derong, "County Yang, what do you think?"
Yang Derong was being held hostage by this fund transfer. Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to discuss with him, but that was not a discussion. It was an order. Yang Derong rejected with insufficient financial resources. Zhang Zhiyuan did not listen to him and said, "You are the county magistrate. You will think about the money." He directly put Yang Derong there.
Yang Derong was not convinced, but he could not become the target of public criticism. After all, the 6,000 people in the county depended on the county's finance. If he offended them, it would be enough to make him suffer. Zhang Zhiyuan also used this point to put Yang Derong in a difficult position.
After that, he thought about it. Anyway, there was only so much money, and it would be gone after the fund transfer. He did not have the ability to get the money, but Zhang Zhiyuan had the ability to find a way.
It had become an established fact, and what could Yang Derong say? He cleared his throat and said, "Secretary Zhang is right. As long as the financial resources allow, we will find ways to benefit everyone. If the revenue doubles next year, we will continue to increase it. The year after that, we will double it and increase it until it is equal to the city, or even surpass them. This is our county's goal for the next few years. "
Yang Derong's speaking level was not good. He was like a primary school student, and he only said the same words. He was far less educated than Zhang Zhiyuan. If it was in private, he would say a lot of dirty words, and print that sentence, and it would not be elegant. But it was not surprising. The Executive Deputy Mayor had climbed to the position of Mayor, and it was not a good thing to take big steps.
Yang Derong's mouth was like cotton pants, and Zhang Zhiyuan did not know how to respond. He could only say, "If everyone has no objections, let's vote by raising our hands."
"Wow!" All the members of the Standing Committee raised their hands, and this issue was passed.
As the class leader, Zhang Zhiyuan continued to host the next issue. He said, "After a period of intense preparation, the selection of the Deputy Mayor has been fully carried out, and progress has been achieved. All of this cannot be done without everyone's support and cooperation. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone. I would like to especially thank Secretary Ma. As the person in charge of this work, she was well-prepared, well-deployed, orderly, and operated appropriately. She had truly achieved openness and transparency, and allowed some comrades to participate in the election. This valuable experience is worth promoting. Okay, next, let's let Secretary Ma briefly explain the recent work. "
Ma Feifei still maintained her "iron lady" demeanor. She sat on the side, holding the speech prepared by her secretary Shi Xiaoman, and read it word by word. "Secretary Zhang, County Yang, and all comrades, I would like to give a brief report on the progress of the selection of the Deputy Mayor …"
When Ma Feifei finished, Zhang Zhiyuan took the microphone and said, "Secretary Ma spoke very well, and I completely agree. This time, the 10 comrades selected through the point system include experienced and experienced veteran comrades like Dong Guoping, educated and knowledgeable scholars like Shen Jianghu, capable and motivated pioneers like Xu Wannian, and even young people like Xiao Yang, who are educated and skilled. It can be said that every family has a good mix of old, middle, and young people. It's just that our number of Deputy Mayors is full, or else I would have chosen all of them to serve the construction of Nanyang.
"Nowadays, it's a society where the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. It's not that there's such a huge disparity between the strong and the weak. Even the comrades who fail to be elected are still good people. They're also the leaders of our various fronts. This is understandable. However, each carrot has its own pit. It's not like sitting in the front row. Everyone has a share. We have to consider our own strengths and weaknesses, fully respect the will of the people, and select leaders who dare to take responsibility and contribute. This is also the original intention of our selection of deputy county heads. "
"Next, we will enter the voting process. Here, I would like to emphasize that we should not choose someone based on our personal feelings. Instead, we should take the overall situation into consideration, look at the current situation of Nanyang, and cast our sacred vote. Okay, I won't say more. Next, distribute the ballots. "
At the same time, the ten candidates who were "locked" in the conference room on the fifth floor all had different expressions. Some were unusually restless, some were as calm as Mount Tai, some were calm and composed, and some were as confident as ever. Ever since Gao Bowen came in, he hadn't sat on the chair for even a moment. He kept making calls and using his phone to remotely control everything outside. Dong Guoping crossed his arms in front of his chest and closed his eyes to rest. He was surprisingly calm, as if he knew what was happening outside like the back of his hand. Shen Jianghu, the deputy director of the Historical Records Office, was still holding a book and focusing on knowledge, a typical bookworm.
Although Xu Wannian had Yang Derong's support, he did not dare to take it lightly. After all, Gao Bowen was a great threat to him. Xu Qingshan, the director of the Tourism Bureau, and Wen Guoliang, the secretary of the Wujiao Town Party Committee, were also very calm. Both of them were from the same town and had a lot in common, so they chatted happily.
Hu Zhixiong, the director of the Government Affairs Administration, appreciated the young and promising Xiao Yang and kept asking questions, showing great enthusiasm. Our old friend Wei Guoqiang and another selected comrade were hiding in the corner, whispering like mice and glancing at someone from time to time, as if they were analyzing the situation.
The waiting was torturous, and the meeting room on the third floor was not easy either. According to the principle of openness and transparency, the results had to be announced on the spot. The staff nervously calculated the scores, and the members of the Standing Committee whispered to each other, talking about topics they did not want to do.
The scores were presented to Zhang Zhiyuan as soon as they came out. Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the rankings. Fortunately, it was within his control. He handed the list to Ma Feifei and said, "Secretary Ma, please read it."
The members of the Standing Committee stopped talking and held their breath to listen to the results.
Ma Feifei said in a loud voice, "According to the principle of the points system, the final result will be added to the original points. Now I will read the results: Dong Guoping, Gao Bowen, Xu Wannian, Xiao Yang, Xu Qingshan, Wen Guoliang, and the final candidate is …"
Dong Guoping was still firmly in the first place, without any suspense. Gao Bowen suddenly jumped from tenth place to second place. It was an absolute comeback. His basic score was not high, so it was obvious that his activities with money were effective. The scores in the hands of the Standing Committee helped him. Xu Wannian also moved up one place, and Yang Derong still protected him. Xu Qingshan and Wen Guoliang's scores dropped, and Xiao Yang's score rose slightly. From the scores, it could be roughly analyzed who the Standing Committee members voted for …
