Chapter 358: On the Beam
Chapter 358: Up the beam
Zeng Yi said: "Yes!"
Of course, there is urban management in the Hi-Tech Park. Now, in various places, whether it is a new district, a development zone, or an ecological zone, urban management is a very important government law enforcement department. It is not surprising at all; it is strange that nothing is there! On this point, Zeng Yi has nothing to avoid, just answer the truth.
"Is this the same law enforcement?" Mr. Xu asked again.
Zeng Yi thought about it for a while and said, "There must be situations like this!"
Mr. Xu's face was not very good-looking, and he snorted coldly, saying, "As a public servant of the people, do you have nothing to say?"
Zeng Yi could feel that when Mr. Xu said this, he was filled with anger, and the smell of smoke from his expression and manners rose again. However, he was not afraid in his heart. Mr. Xu was angry, which showed that Mr. Xu was an old revolutionary who was the people-oriented and cared about the people, rather than a politician who sought fame.
"In the past, the common people had a rumor: Electric Tiger, Water Dragon King, and Industrial and Commercial Taxation Wolves. JC is a big hooligan! But now, there is another sentence after this rumor: Once the urban management comes out, who will compete with me?" Zeng Yi looked at Mr. Xu and said, "It should be a department that serves the people, but they all have become the objects of hatred by the common people! Mr. Xu, have you ever thought about the truth here?"
Mr. Xu's expression was still grim, but he didn't say anything, waiting for Zeng Yi's explanation. He had heard this sentence, which was heartbreaking, but he did not think about the reason. It was just a swearing word. What's the point!
Zeng Yi said: "These few short rumors are actually a summary of our reform process: When we were poor and down, our city could not even guarantee basic water and electricity. We came from limited-time power supply and limited-time water supply. The two departments of water and electricity can easily determine the quality of life of a city person. Later, after the reform and the market was opened, more business and more transactions were done. While the market was prosperous, various problems and loopholes in market management also emerged. The two departments of industrial and commercial taxation, which had no experience, became important suddenly. When the marketization deepened, the population began to flow on a large scale. People went wherever they could make money. Public security issues and household registration issues followed one after another, and the jc system faced unprecedented challenges and pressures. Now, we are engaged in urbanization, and a large number of people began to concentrate in cities. In order to ensure the stability and order of urban order, the urban management department appeared."
Mr. Xu showed a little thoughtful expression. This cursing rhyme made Zeng Yi explain it, and it seemed that it was really the case.
"Then what!"
Mr. Xu said impatiently, waiting for Zeng Yi's words below. Even if your statement is innovative, this is not a reason to sit idly by and watch the violent law enforcement of urban management.
"Our reform will not be smooth sailing, nor will it be achieved overnight. During this period, we will encounter many problems, and many problems are something we have never encountered before! However, our thinking cannot keep up with this change. When we encounter problems, the first thing we think of is not how to solve the problem, but how to deal with the problem!" Zeng Yi smiled and said, "If we use an official word to summarize these departments, it is 'the working method is simple and crude'. To be more specific, it is 'using punishment instead of management', or 'just punishment'!"
Mr. Xu's murderous aura slowly disappeared. Although he was a soldier in war and had never read any books seriously, this does not mean that he did not understand national governance at all. His position and height determine that he can easily see many things.
Although Zeng Yi just pointed it out, Mr. Xu still understood that the reason why these departments after departments have become the objects of hatred by the people is because of these four words: "Punishment instead of management."
As a government department, when problems arise, they do not fulfill their management responsibilities, nor actively find ways to solve and guide the problems. Instead, they choose the simplest and most primitive way to deal with them, that is, "punishment", using punishment to solve everything, and throw the problem back to the people to solve it themselves!
No wonder the people nickname domestic laws "fine laws"! As long as they are fined, in the official view, even if the problem is intervened and solved, they will fulfill the management responsibilities that the government should fulfill. So the various management measures introduced are for the purpose of fines. In China, it is unlikely that it will be difficult to find a law that has nothing to do with fines.
The ones above are a good sutra, and the people below may recite it wrongly. If the ones above are a wrong sutra, the people below will definitely not recite it well.
With the support of the law, law enforcement is carried out for the purpose of fines, and even fine indicators. How can this working method be simple and crude? In terms of fines, there is never a stop. Only the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and there is a mountain higher than the mountain!
Zeng Yi is a discerning person and can see clearly that if this mentality of "punishment instead of management" does not change, then urban management will never be the last department that makes the people grit their teeth. After new problems arise, departments such as "Zhang Guan", "Li Guan", or "a" and "b" will emerge.
Mr. Xu sighed and said, "Is this problem difficult to solve?"
Zeng Yi said: "After all, this problem is that a large number of people pour into the city, causing the city's original public resources to be unable to bear, so the water has risen and various business resources have become scarce. Renting a store in the city for legal operation is no longer something that everyone can bear. If you have capital, such as the owner of this store, who has such a fixed business place, can obtain an industrial and commercial license, and even apply to the urban management for legal road occupation and put the table on it.
Go to the road outside; but the vendor who was pushing a cart just now was unable to afford the high operating costs and could not afford to rent a store. Without a fixed business premises, he could not apply for legal operating procedures. The legal operating channels were blocked, but he still needed to live, so he could only go to the urban management to fight guerrilla warfare. It was luck that he could not catch it. The little money he had finally made before was fined, and this formed a vicious cycle. Those who could not afford to open a store could never afford to open a store."
Mr. Xu nodded slightly. Zeng Yi was still very considerate. Being able to say such words means that he was in his position, he did not live a life or was perfunctory, but thought about the problem seriously. This is very rare, and what he feared the most was that the officials ignored the problem.
"Some people are unable to afford this operating cost, and some people do not need to bear this operating cost. For example, if the stinky tofu sells just now, you ask him to rent a storefront to run such a small business, it is not realistic, and it is a huge waste!" Zeng Yi said this, saying: "When we formulate management measures, we did not put ourselves in the interests of this group of people, regard them as destructors, and once punished, the problem will be temporarily covered up. If we can think about the previous step in advance, even if we make some changes and guidance, then the urban management department may not have the need to exist, so how can there be violent law enforcement?"
Even the guards around Mr. Xu couldn't help but prick up their ears, thinking that Zeng Yi's words made sense. If it weren't for the sake of life, who would have wanted to fight this guerrilla war with the urban management? If you fined money and did not point out a legal solution, the problem would continue to exist and become more and more serious.
Mr. Xu poured a glass of wine and drank it suddenly. He didn't speak for a long time, and the dining table fell into a silence. Mr. Xu was a man with a bad temper, but it did not mean that he was unreasonable. The urban management department requested it and it was not established by Zeng Yi. He was angry with Zeng Yi because of the urban management in the Hi-Tech Park, which was untenable in theory.
After a long time, Mr. Xu put down his cup and said, "What else?"
Zeng Yi knew that Mr. Xu asked himself how he solved this problem in the High-tech Park, but he did not answer directly, but said: "I used to go to college in Junshan. There was a local street office. They marked a street and allowed to set up street stalls at night. When it was dark, some laid-off workers and students who worked part-time to work and study took the foreign trade orders approved from the surrounding areas and set up stalls there. It was very popular and also led to the hot business of restaurants in the surrounding areas. The street office charged each stall five yuan management fee and hired people to clean it every day."
Mr. Xu said, "It's so simple and easy to implement, why not implement it?"
Zeng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "My Mr. Xu, do you think there is any leader who will come to a place like the night market to eat and buy things?"
Old Xu was stunned, then his expression became dim and a little depressed, "The King of Chu is so thin, so many people starved to death in the palace!" It's true!
The so-called "the superior has something to like, the subordinate must practice it!
The leaders above like to look clean, while the cities below try their best to sanitate; the leaders above like to look clean, and the leaders above like to look clean, and then do image projects below, build government buildings more spacious and beautiful, and paint both sides of the road several times. Today, the leaders said they would build several large enterprises of tens of billions, and the next day, they combined several small enterprises, and large enterprises of tens of billions of dollars were pieced together overnight.
It is so simple and easy to do, and can be seen by the leaders above. Everyone below likes to do such things! If the leaders are happy, can you still lose yourself when you are promoted in the future?
But if you set up a night market, can the leaders see it? Can the leaders understand your people-oriented political mind?
As long as the leader cannot see it, no matter how many good things you do, it will be useless! If there is another safety accident, you will be immediately "vetoed". Only fools will do such things that are hard to thank the leader.
"Is that night market street still in operation now?" Mr. Xu suddenly asked.
Zeng Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's only been half a year! The industrial and commercial tax urban management can't collect money, and the police have to go there every night to maintain order. Everyone is very dissatisfied. Several letters of opinion were reported to it, and the street office director was sent to the community to lie in the ground."
Mr. Xu sighed and finally understood Zeng Yi's difficulties. It is too difficult to be a good official in the system of bad money driving out good money. Zeng Yi must have tried to solve many legacy problems in the Hi-Tech Park, but this is not easy. If you want to do a good thing, you must first take into account all aspects of your interests, otherwise it will be a public anger, which is a test of a person's wisdom and level.
This is also consistent with the "table" mentioned by Zeng Yi before.
"It's hard for you!" Mr. Xu said silently. As Zeng Yi said, the root cause of the disease is not the one below, but the one above. If the upper beam is not straight, how can the lower beam not be crooked?
Seeing that Mr. Xu was in a bad mood, Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Old Xu, this problem is actually not difficult to solve!" As he said that, Zeng Yi turned his head and waved, "Boss, come here!"
The boss came over with the order and smiled and said, "What kind of food do you want to add?"
Zeng Yi asked: "Boss, I'll ask you a question. How much profit can a table in your store create every night?"
The boss didn't expect Zeng Yi to ask this. After thinking about it, he replied, based on the principle of making money with kindness, "I'm a small business and can't sell much, and the profit is also low. If the business is good, you may make more than 40 yuan per table. When the business is slow, you will have more than 10 yuan!"
By doing this, the income is still objective. On average, each table can generate nearly twenty yuan in income one night. There are more than ten tables in the store, and in a month, it costs about ten thousand yuan. However, this is difficult to compare with the hard work of the store owner. You have to worry a lot every day and deal with a lot of things. The store also supports seven or eight guys.
Zeng Yi pointed to the table facing the street at the door and said, "I occupy this table-sized place. I will give you thirty yuan a day and set up a stall selling stinky tofu. Boss, do you think this business can be done?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, and then he started to think about it. A stall selling stinky tofu doesn’t need a table. Half a table is enough. If you squeeze, you may not have to lose one table and you can earn more. The business is very good. At that time, he said: "It’s not that it’s not impossible, it’s just..."
Zeng Yi did not go into this question, but asked again: "I think your store is run at night. If I give you another thirty yuan, I will sell breakfast with the tables and chairs in the store in the morning. What do you think?"
The boss's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was idle anyway, his store was also idle during the day, and renting it to others to sell breakfast, so he could make a profit in vain. Why not do it? He said at the time: "This is OK, you just have to be responsible for cleaning, and you have to compensate if you use broken things!"
Zeng Yi laughed and said, "Then I sell breakfast during the day and stinky tofu at night. I will give you 50 yuan in total. How about it?"
The boss was very happy this time and said, "No problem, it's mutual benefit. When did you come to do it at the beginning? I'll have someone make a table for you!"
"Let me think about it and give you a reply, okay?" Zeng Yi smiled and changed the boss's question.
When the boss returned to his position, his eyes were constantly flashing. When Zeng Yi reminded him, he had a new idea. Even if this young man didn't rent his own store, he could rent it himself. Tomorrow he would just go out with a rental sign. He didn't have to have to have stinky tofu, but grilled squid. In fact, the carts outside were very pitiful, and he could do it for them!
Zeng Yi spread his hands and looked at Mr. Xu and said, "Resource scarcity is a fact. It will definitely be difficult to solve for a while, but if you save money, I think it's still okay! Mr. Xu, don't you?"
Mr. Xu laughed. Today he was just open-minded. It was still the same store. However, Zeng Yi made three things to do, which at least solved the livelihood problems of the three families. Although they had to pay some money to the store owner, at least they would not worry about being fined by the urban management and doing business for a long time. After they had savings, they could also go to the independent store by themselves.
The most important thing is that there are fewer complaints and complaints about cursing!
Even though he has experienced countless storms and waves and seen all kinds of people, Mr. Xu has to admit that Zeng Yi is far better than he imagined. His optimism and tenacity are something that many leaders do not have. Even though the world is dark, the young man's heart is always colorful and full of enthusiasm. He can face everything, and he can bravely solve problems, without evading responsibility, complaining and hating, and not following the trend.
In the current system, it is extremely rare to be able to do this.
"Come on!" Mr. Xu raised his cup. Today he was convinced by Zeng Yi's words and said, "This time I came to Nanjiang, my biggest gain is that I met you, a little baby. You are amazing. I want to drink one with you!"
"I'm young and shallow. You might float up as soon as you praise me!" Zeng Yi laughed and drank a drink with Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu smiled and put down the cup, sighing: "I felt a pity when you took my pulse in the car before. I also felt that you were a little unemployed. You didn't do your job well and didn't become a doctor with such good medical skills, but you were all focused on planning an official. To be honest, Mr. Xu looked down on you! But now, I think people like you should be the leader!"
When he said this, Mr. Xu was also thinking in his mind that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely recommend Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi shook his head and smiled and said, "I didn't think so much. I just cook the big fish as big as the pot. The ancients also said: If you are poor, you will be safe, and if you are rich, you will help the world! If you didn't have such an opportunity to let me do something, I might be honest as my own doctor!"
"You are not impetuous, and you have ideas, and I admire them very much!" When Mr. Xu said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand, took off the watch on his wrist, put it on the table, and said, "This one has been with me for many years, and I will give it to you today. It's the medical expenses I, Mr. Xu, paid you!"
As soon as these words came out, the guard sitting beside him was moved. He knew the origin of this watch best. It was the commander-in-chief who personally rewarded Mr. Xu. From that moment on, Mr. Xu had never taken it off. He regarded the watch as more than his own life. Even Mr. Xu's descendants would not be able to touch this watch.
Today, Mr. Xu actually wanted to give it to Zeng Yi. The guard accidentally glanced at Zeng Yi, but his heart was extremely shocked.
Zeng Yi naturally understood the significance of this watch to Mr. Xu, so he quickly stood up and refused, saying, "Old Xu, it is said that 'the elders give it, but I absolutely cannot accept this watch. This is your treasure!"
"What baby!" Mr. Xu immediately glared at the top of his eyes, slapped the table, and shouted: "You guy think my watch is too shabby, right?"
It is true that this watch is indeed a bit old, with rust stains on the surface, and there are still a few scratches on the glass curtain. It has been decades of twists and turns, and it is very difficult to say whether it can still be accurate. But if it is shabby, it is definitely wrong, and it is very wrong. There are not ten thousand people who want to get the watch of Mr. Xu, and there are eight thousand, and each of them is thicker than Zeng Yi's waist and stronger legs.
"How come Mr. Xu's face is shabby? It's too expensive!" Zeng Yi knew that he could not refuse after seeing Mr. Xu say this, and then he refused to refute Mr. Xu's face. After thinking for a while, he took off the watch in his hand, then put on Mr. Xu's watch and said, "Then will I really wear it?"
"Let's go! Let's go!" Mr. Xu waved his hand. It was just a watch. Since Mr. Xu decided to give it to him, he would definitely not regret it.
Zeng Yi put on his watch, sat down again, and said, "Mr. Xu is putting pressure on me!"
Mr. Xu gave Zeng Yi this watch, in fact, to let Zeng Yi remember what he said all the time. This is also a kind of encouragement. Seeing that Zeng Yi understood his wish, Mr. Xu smiled happily, and his right hand habitually touched the wrist of his left hand. After touching it, Mr. Xu laughed and said, "This *** is so ill that it's changed!"
The guards beside him knew very well that as long as Mr. Xu was happy, he would touch the watch. This was an old habit for many years.
Zeng Yi picked up his watch and thought of giving it to Mr. Xu. His watch is also a famous watch, which is of great value, but when he thinks it is not suitable. It is obviously Mr. Xu who gave him a watch and then sent it back to another one. Wouldn't it become an exchange, which makes Mr. Xu's style look lowered. His watch is only expensive, but Mr. Xu's watch is priceless! So Zeng Yi did not mention this and said, "It makes Mr. Xu lose even the objects to look at the time. Zeng Yi is panicked!"
Mr. Xu smiled and sighed: "I'm old, but I can't see clearly the pointer on the watch!"
"Cao Mengde once said: An old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles; a martyr has ambitions in his old age. The period of growth and shrinkage is not only in the sky; the blessing of raising happiness can bring eternal life." Zeng Yi raised his cup and said, "Old Xu is in love with the people and will definitely live a hundred years long!"
Mr. Xu smiled and picked up the cup, "Forget it if you are a hundred years old, as long as you can drink a few more sips of wine, I will be content!"
The food and drink were almost the same, and it was getting dark. Baiyang people who had finished work came to the night market to taste the flavor and used food to relieve the fatigue of the day. The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and the tables at Li Ji Night Market were gradually filled with guests.
Seeing that Mr. Xu had almost finished eating, Zeng Yi said, "Boss, settle the bill!"
The boss picked up the order and typed it on the calculator twice. When the account was found out, he would come to collect the money.
At this moment, a shout came from the door: "That's it! Boss, I just had dinner and I wrapped it in your store!"
Chapter completed!
