Chapter 48: Calm response

"Secretary Zhao, this reform was the first time in Xijiang. There is no rule to follow. We are also learning from some policies in coastal areas. Moreover, the situations of each company are different. They can only be basically consistent in principle and the specific policies are different. If you want to say the basis, the minutes of the district party committee standing committee and the district government office meeting are the basis. They have been studied and discussed by everyone. I think this should not be said." Huo Yunda disagreed.

"Hmph, Wynda, you think the problem is too simple. Since it is on the list of the provincial government, do you think they will let us pass it so easily? That is to use a magnifying glass to find faults. They have to sort out all aspects of the work in enterprise reform. From policy basis to operational specifications, from preliminary preparations to post-reform guarantee mechanisms, you must be mentally prepared." Zhao Guodong shook his head. He was very wary of the provincial government's sudden investigation team. This targeted investigation team must have received some reactions that could even be said to be more practical.

"Secretary Zhao, don't be too busy with everything. As long as we have no selfishness and no prejudice, we will do this work in the purpose of revitalizing the enterprise for development. And judging from the current situation, our reform has basically been progressing smoothly. Not to mention the provincial government investigation team, even if the State Council investigation team comes, I dare to stand up with confidence and face it with confidence." Huo Yunda already felt some emotions.

"Wander, your attitude is very dangerous." Zhao Guodong frowned, "We are not afraid of anything, but since we know they are coming, we can do some work in advance, such as preparing the information they want to review more fully, especially the previous investigation by our district party committee and government and the series of work carried out later on the policy is introduced, which must be reflected in truth. As for the company, I think it is nothing. They must investigate on the spot. We cannot block the workers' mouths and not let them say it, so let them reflect it in a realistic way. People are not afraid of shadows."

Huo Yunda let out a sigh and said angrily: "Secretary Zhao, why is it so difficult to do something? You have to do something practical, why are these people trying to get through you? You can easily sort out the work below little by little. Now the top is looking for trouble again. Those below who already have opinions have to jump up suddenly and think they can be pushed back and started over? Then is this reform counting? Is it effective?"

"No one has the right to overturn our opinion on restructuring, as long as we implement it within the scope of the law." Zhao Guodong comforted Huo Yunda: "Wanda, don't think so much. I just remind you to fully reflect the work we should do to the investigation team. Don't tell the public about this matter for the time being, and wait until the investigation team comes."

The provincial government investigation team came very quickly. The next day after receiving a call from Wang Fumei, the investigation team had already arrived in Ningling. It was led by a director under the General Office of the Provincial Government, a deputy director of the Supervision Department, and two comrades from the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission participated. The investigation team and six people first arrived at the municipal government. Mayor Shu Zhigao and Zhou Chunxiu, deputy mayor in charge of industrial economy, attended the meeting.

Shu Zhigao felt that Zhao Guodong seemed to be mentally prepared for the province's investigation this time. He was very relaxed and calm in his words, and even had a little hope. This made Shu Zhigao's heart slightly lower. Although he no longer had much hope for his successor as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he still did not want any trouble during his presidency.

"Old Zhou, I called Zhao Guodong. He expressed his welcome to the provincial government investigation team to Xijiang for investigation. Do you think there is any violation or unreasonable aspects of Xijiang's enterprise restructuring this time?" Shu Zhigao sat on the sofa and pondered for a while before asking.

Zhou Chunxiu was also in a state of thunder. He couldn't control the restructuring of hardware factories and standard parts factories, but he supported the restructuring of the three commercial enterprises. If the three commercial enterprises do not restructure, the renovation of the old urban areas will encounter big troubles, and hundreds of employees of commercial enterprises may become stumbling blocks. Therefore, he repeatedly put pressure on Zhao Guodong and Huo Yunda to speed up the restructuring of the three commercial enterprises, so that the district government can make appropriate concessions on some conditions. Unexpectedly, the provincial government's investigation team suddenly came, which made him a little nervous.

"Mayor Shu, what are you referring to?" Zhou Chunxiu calmed down and took out a cigarette to light it. The rising smoke formed a barrier in front of the two of them.

"On the two sides, on the one hand, are there any harm to the interests of employees, and on the other hand, are there any loss of state-owned assets, such as the asset appraisal price being artificially lowered, or is unreasonable in compensation." Shu Zhigao naturally did not expect anything else, but just discussed the matter. "I feel that this time the investigation team of the provincial government is mainly aimed at the second aspect, mainly to prevent the loss of state-owned assets. What I am most worried about is that our leading cadres are involved in it for personal gain."

"Mayor Shu, I think it's a bit strange to come to Ningling in the province this time. Logically speaking, the reform of our Ningling enterprise is relatively stable. As a pilot, the Xijiang District enterprises are promoting at a steady pace and seeking speed. Although there have been several petitions to the municipal government, this is an inevitable problem in the reform, and the subsequent solution has been satisfactorily solved. Even if some people are still reporting the problem, compared with other cities, I think this is nothing. How could we choose Ningling?" Zhou Chunxiu took a deep breath of cigarettes and said in a depressed mood: "Is there any new trends in the province?"

"Old Zhou, don't think so much. He welcomed Zhao Guodong when I was on the phone. His tone was very relaxed. I saw that he seemed confident, and I felt more at ease."

Shu Zhigao also admitted that Zhou Chunxiu's words made some sense. The provincial government only sent two investigation teams, one to Rongshan and the other to Ningling. The Rongshan incident caused a lot of controversy. Hundreds of employees petitioned the provincial government, which had a great impact. Moreover, after blocking the gate of Rongshan Municipal Government three times, the public security used a large amount of police force to intervene, which did not cause any greater disaster. The restructuring of the machine tool factory was also forced to be interrupted. In comparison, the storm in Ningling is simply not worth mentioning. How could this investigation team choose Ningling?

"I also believe that Xijiang District should strictly follow relevant laws and regulations during this restructuring. As far as I know, every step of the enterprise restructuring in Xijiang District has passed the research of the Standing Committee and the Government Office, and it is a collective resolution. No individual can play tricks. Now, the two industrial enterprises have entered the stage of full production recovery after the restructuring of the two industrial enterprises, and the employees of the three commercial enterprises have also been properly resettled, laying a good foundation for the next old city renovation in our city." Zhou Chunxiu paused before saying: "I think Zhao Guodong has done a very stable and powerful job in promoting the pilot of enterprise restructuring, which not only ensures the comprehensive promotion of the pilot of enterprise restructuring, but also properly handles the unstable factors that may arise. Some contradictions are not enough to affect the success of this restructuring pilot."

Shu Zhigao was a little surprised by Zhou Chunxiu's statement. In his impression, Zhou Chunxiu had a bad impression of Zhao Guodong and the relationship between them was not very good. This probably has something to do with him not serving as the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone Management Committee and Zhao Guodong took over. Zhou Chunxiu was critical of Xijiang District's work meetings at all times. Why did he suddenly express his approval and approval this time?

Zhao Guodong expressed his ordinary welcome to the investigation team sent by the provincial government when he met for the first time and never appeared in the investigation team's sight again. All the work was handed over to Huo Yunda and a deputy director of the district government to accompany him. Zeng Lingchun occasionally attended the report meeting, but Zhao Guodong never showed up again.

The investigation team was a little annoyed by the indifference of the Xijiang District Party Committee and the district government, but after all, the other party still had a deputy district mayor in charge of industry and commerce and the district mayor also came to attend meetings from time to time, which made the investigation team members angry and could only hold them in their stomachs, and they were all determined to find some problems to cure the other party.

The investigation work was fully launched in the next few days. I originally thought that the local party committee and government would create some obstacles and trouble for their group of people to work, but this was not the case.

Several members of the investigation team are veterans who often participate in this kind of investigation, especially the two staff members sent by the Supervision Department and the Economic Commission. They thoroughly investigated the most prone aspects of enterprise restructuring. All the information and records were verified one by one, and conducted careful analysis and investigation of the business conditions of the enterprise. The two general officials of the Provincial Government Office focused on visiting the employees of the restructured enterprises. They took night action and went directly to the homes of the enterprise employees or invited the employees of the enterprise for a secret discussion. They also selected some targets among employees of all ages and different occupations, hoping to find clues.

Although the district government is not very supportive, it is also a cooperative response to the investigation team's investigation team, and the required information is retrieved as soon as possible. It is also let go of the way members of the investigation team enter the factory during the day and the employees' families at night. It is even obvious that some employees' complaints and reactions are not expressed at all. They neither explain much nor stop the other party's reactions. This surprised the members of the investigation team. This is the first time they have encountered such a phenomenon.
