Chapter 8 Dinner
The working functions of the Industrial Department of the Pengcheng Planning Commission are: comprehensive analysis, coordinate major issues in industrial development, study and put forward the city's industrial economy development strategy and policy suggestions; organize and implement comprehensive industrial policies; coordinate industrial development plans with relevant plans, and balance of plans; plan key industrial layout and organize the construction of major characteristic industrial bases; organize and coordinate the promotion and application of major technical equipment; review and transfer industrial fixed asset investment projects in accordance with laws and regulations; plan and organize the implementation of major industrial projects in the city; participate in the review of overseas industrial investment projects; take the lead in the organization of special fund projects within the central and provincial budgets in the industry, review and declaration and supervision and management; participate in the formulation of financial, financial, land and other policies involving industrial development.
It sounds like a very heavy responsibility, involving all aspects of the city's industry. In fact, most of them are in vain, acting as the baton of superior leaders, and doing whatever the leaders ask. What truly reflects the importance of the Industrial Department is to take the lead in the organization of special fund projects within the central and provincial budgets in the industrial sector, review, declaration, and supervision and management.
Pengcheng is an old industrial city. Except for a handful of central ministries and provincial-level enterprises, other municipal enterprises must be included in the supervision and management scope of the Industrial Department in this regard. Especially in the current situation where the general environment is not ideal, many enterprises are waiting to feed, and if they need blood transfusions, they cannot avoid the threshold of the Industrial Department of the Planning Commission.
With a cup of tea and a newspaper, Li Rui started his day's work.
The Pengcheng Planning Commission is in the municipal government compound, and a three-story building on its left hand comes in. Although it is a building from the early 1970s and looks very old, the environment is still good after several decorations inside. Especially in the real-powered departments like the Planning Commission, in this era when air conditioners were not yet popular, every office has been equipped with air conditioners.
For more than a week, Li Rui went to and from get off work on time every day. Even the colleagues in the department were surprised that Deputy Director Li, who was skipping work every few days, could actually sit in the office.
As deputy director, Li Rui was in charge of several large municipal enterprises and two remote suburban counties. There were not too many things. During the past week, he looked at the circulating documents every day, went to the two municipal enterprises to inspect the work, and collected two envelopes with two green skins. The rest of the time was to drink tea, read newspapers, or sometimes brag with colleagues or come to do business or visit friends.
Today, the front page of the newspaper is published on the front page of the newspaper that the Central Committee held a national financial conference and that Vice Premier Hong Tai also served as the governor of the central bank. It seems that the famous macro-control to curb investment overheating and suppress inflation has finally begun. This macro-control has had a profound impact on the effective response to the Southeast Asian economic crisis in four years and the rapid economic development in the next decade. At the same time, it inevitably has side effects, commonly known as the "reform pain". A large number of state-owned enterprises merged and closed down, and countless laid-off workers were pushed to society.
Li Rui has been thinking about a question these days. Since he has decided to go on the officialdom, is there still a need to stay in the Planning Commission? Although the Planning Commission is easy to work and has extra money from time to time, it is definitely not what Li Rui wants. He is now a regular department, but he is in the position of deputy section level. His boss Luo Xin is only in his forties. If he wants to squeeze out his position as director, he doesn't know the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
We must find a way to get a real-time position, strive to be promoted to deputy office within one or two years, and take a real-time position before the age of 30. Only in this way can we attract the attention of the Zhang family and get rid of the status of abandoning our children.
Now his backer in Pengcheng is Guo Wending. Recalling that over the past six months, Guo Wending has taken good care of himself. It is said that once Liang Yongqiu sued him, he was blocked by Guo Wending lukewarmly.
It seems that we should find an opportunity to take the initiative to visit Guo Wending. Although he is not a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he ranks second among the deputy mayors, second only to executive vice mayor Li Yifeng, and he is in charge of industry and has a lot of authority.
As noon approached, Director Luo Xin hurriedly came back from outside.
"Li Rui, come in."
The Office of the Industrial Department is two offices connected by one large and one small. Li Rui and the clerks in the department work in the office in the large office, while the Director's Office is a separate office.
Walking into the small room inside, Luo Xin was facing the air conditioner, wiping sweat while blowing the cold wind.
"Be careful of the cold and the heat." Li Rui threw a cigarette over.
Luo Xin is a fat man, and he is particularly afraid of heat in summer. He grabbed the cigarette and grabbed it, "It's so hot that I can't stay outside at all. The Land Bureau came over a few steps and was sweating all over."
Li Rui and Luo Xin got along well, mainly because he did not fight for power and reciprocate. In some aspects, Luo Xin turned a blind eye to him.
He lit a cigarette at the lighter handed over by Li Rui, took a deep breath, "Are there any arrangements for noon?"
"No." Li Rui stretched his body lazily, "I'll go back and take a nap later. People are prone to sleep when it's hot."
He got off work at 11:00 noon, went to work at 1:30, and had two and a half hours of lunch break. Li Rui basically went back these days, dealing with it casually in the small restaurant at the door, then went upstairs to have a nap, and then came to work again in the afternoon.
"A new seafood restaurant has been opened on the other side of Dongshan Road. Let's go there together, and Lao Zhao from the Land Bureau." Lao Zhao is the deputy director of the Municipal Land Bureau and is a classmate of Luo Xin. The two have a good relationship and are familiar with Li Rui.
"What's the matter?" Usually, Luo Xin called Li Rui to dinner, and basically had red envelopes, ranging from one hundred to one thousand. This is also one of the means by Luo Xin to win over Li Rui. However, people who treat guests generally ask for something to come to their door, and sometimes Li Rui's scope of responsibility is involved.
"It's about the land in the textile factory. Lao Zhao called me there in the morning for this." The air conditioner was almost blown, and Luo Xin sat in his seat and took another sip of herbal tea ceremony.
"There are many people watching this land. We just make materials. We mainly need to look at the meaning above. Lao Zhao didn't know." Li Rui said with a smile.
Due to serious losses, Pengcheng Textile Factory had stopped production a few years ago. After the asset restructuring at the beginning of this year, it moved from the city center to the industrial area. Because it is located in the downtown center, the textile factory has become a hot commodity to free up this piece of land.
"That is, let us make the materials more beautiful and deliver them faster. Lao Zhao's relationship, but I think it's a bit unlucky. After all, it's a company from another place. If you can't get the thread from Mayor Li, no matter how beautiful the materials are, it will be useless." Luo Xin shook his head and said.
It is said that Li Yifeng has a tough backstage and a tough style. Within less than a year after he landed in Pengcheng, he not only firmly took up the position of executive vice mayor, but also had a slight strife with Mayor Choi Ji'an.
Just after eleven o'clock, Li Rui and Luo Xin were still sitting and smoking and spanking, and Lao Zhao chased after him on the phone and urged them to go there quickly. The Land Bureau in 1993 was far less powerful than it was later. The deputy director Lao Zhao's real power was even better than Luo Xin, the director of the Industrial Department of the Planning Commission.
Luo Xin looked indifferent, and today it was probably for Lao Zhao's sake. It was not too hot to get a red envelope of hundreds or one thousand for a meal. If you do it, you can drink some soup at most. It is reasonable not to do it.
Li Rui and Luo Xin took a taxi to the seafood restaurant called Huazhongcheng on Dongshan Road. When Li Rui heard the name of the restaurant, he felt a little familiar. He didn't know how many high-end hotels he had entered and left in his previous life. Huazhongcheng should be one of them.
In the No. 8 box on the third floor, in addition to Lao Zhao, there is also a middle-aged man. He is from Jiangdong Province and is a native of Huazhongcheng restaurant.
When he heard that Zhao Wenlong was from Jiangdong, Li Rui suddenly remembered that when he was developing a real estate project in Linzhou, the capital of Jiangdong Province in his previous life, there was a Huazhongcheng Group in Linzhou, which not only operated restaurants and nightclubs, but also involved in real estate with assets of over 100 million yuan. Li Rui vaguely remembered that the boss of this Huazhongcheng Group seemed to be named Zhao.
However, Zhao Wenlong, who was introduced, seems to have just started. In addition to having two stores in Linzhou, this restaurant in Pengcheng is his third restaurant, and in terms of the size of the venue and the interior decoration, it is far from the size of the Huazhongcheng restaurant that Li Rui once visited in Linzhou.
