Chapter 303 What Kind of Attitude Is It?
Hearing that Lin Yiji's executive deputy director in charge of the work was visiting, Su Rongguo, the deputy mayor of Tengcun City in charge of economics, ordered the opening of the municipal government's conference room and went downstairs to greet Tang Zifeng and his party. Following Su Rongguo were officials such as Kou Wenyou, director of the Economic and Trade Commission, Xie Da, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and other officials. There were more than a dozen people making a fuss. On Tang Zifeng's side, apart from himself, there was only one secretary, Wu Dingyong.
Wu Dingyong was originally Tang Zifeng's driver, and later became Tang Zifeng's personal bodyguard, responsible for running errands and fending off the leader's drinks during social events. Tang Zifeng introduced Wu Dingyong to the outside world as his secretary, which was a sloppy statement, because Wu Dingyong was not highly educated, and he could make more than a dozen typos in a report of several hundred words. As for the wrong sentences, they were not worth mentioning. Fortunately, Tang Zifeng himself was a quick writer, so he didn't need a secretary to write for him.
"Welcome, I didn't expect Factory Director Tang to be so young, and so simple and obedient. He really can be regarded as a model for the new generation of young leading cadres."
Seeing Tang Zifeng get out of the car, Su Rongguo stepped forward, shook hands with Tang Zifeng, and gave him cheap praise. He already knew in advance that Tang Zifeng was a young cadre, but he did not expect that he would be so young. The moment he saw Tang Zifeng, he even doubted whether the news from Tengji was wrong. Could such a young man be the leader of Linyiji?
Su Rongguo has no working experience in the machinery industry and is not familiar with Linyi Machinery. But when Tengji's office called this morning, he specifically explained that Linyi Machinery used to be a subordinate enterprise on the same level as Tengji, a dignified bureau-level unit, and Tang Zifeng was a cadre dispatched from the Machinery Department. With the title of executive deputy factory director, he is actually the person in charge of Linyi Machinery.
Everyone in Tengcun knows how awesome Tengji is. Since Linyiji used to be on the same level as Tengji, then its person in charge is naturally very awesome and deserves to be welcomed by Su Rongguo personally. What's more, Tengji said that Tang Zifeng was a distinguished guest specially invited by Zhou Heng, the director of Tengji. He was here to help Tengji overcome the difficulties and should not be neglected.
More than ten years later, the Tengcun Municipal Government would not look down upon an out-of-town enterprise leader, at least not to the extent that it would be necessary to welcome him. The most important thing in Tengcun is enterprises, especially large state-owned enterprises. It is enough for the Tengcun Municipal Government to serve these large local state-owned enterprises. Why is there any need to flatter state-owned enterprise leaders from other places?
But times have changed, and Tengcun today is far from what it used to be. Hundreds of companies in the city are bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy. The huge employment pressure forces the city government to attach great importance to any external investors. Even if these investors only come to invest in building a restaurant, at least seven or eight laid-off workers can be accommodated. It can help alleviate some of the burden on the city government.
Naturally, such a behemoth as Linyiji cannot come to Tengcun to invest in a small restaurant. If it just throws a little money, it can at least create hundreds of jobs, right? How could Su Rongguo be disrespectful to such a financial sponsor?
Tang Zifeng was introduced to the city government through Tengji. Logically speaking, Tengji should at least arrange for a deputy director to accompany him. But what Tang Zifeng wants to talk about today involves the disposal of the aircraft, so it would not be appropriate to let the people in the aircraft stay nearby. Therefore, Teng Ji just sent a car for Tang Zifeng to send him and Wu Dingyong over. The driver and car will be waiting downstairs at the city hall, but they will not participate in the meeting between Tang Zifeng and Su Rongguo.
The host and guest exchanged a few words downstairs and then walked into the office building. A deputy director of the city government office led the way, while Tang Zifeng and Su Rongguo walked side by side, chatting about romantic affairs..., well, it should be about local customs and customs, and they also touched each other's background. .
Walking in the corridor of the Tengcun Municipal Government Office Building, Tang Zifeng deeply felt the economic difficulties of Tengcun City. This office building has been around for some years. It must have cost some money when it was built. The layout is quite grand and the decoration is also very elegant. However, in the past few years, the city government has obviously been strapped for cash, and even the daily maintenance costs of office buildings have been greatly reduced. From time to time, some signs of peeling can be seen on the corridor walls, and some places have been repainted with white ash, which makes them look better. It's very eye-catching because the newly painted color contrasts sharply with the color next to it, like patches.
In comparison, the municipal government office building in Linhe City is much more luxurious. The walls need to be repainted every year, using imported water-soluble paint that is said to be the most environmentally friendly. Outside the door of each office, there is a plexiglass door plate nailed, with the name of the department written in Chinese, English and Japanese, which makes people feel that it is particularly in line with international standards. Outside the various departments in the office building of Tengcun City, there are still small signs made of wood, which are the same type as the wooden signs of the rural village committees in the suburbs of Linhe City.
Entering the conference room with dark red carpet on the floor, Tang Zifeng and Su Rongguo felt embarrassed at the same time. The layout of the conference living room is designed according to the pattern of meeting foreign guests. In the middle is the position of the leaders of both parties, and on both sides are the attachés. It's no problem here in Tengcun City. There are so many people, enough to fill every seat. There were only Tang Zifeng and Wu Dingyong on Linyiji's side. When they sat there, it seemed empty. When compared with the formation on the opposite side, it felt quite strange.
"This..., isn't it a bit too grand?" Tang Zifeng asked Su Rongguo.
"It's not grand, it's not grand. It's appropriate to welcome distinguished guests like Director Tang." Su Rongguo said, "This reception room is the best reception room in our municipal government. The other places are too simple and not worthy of Tang Factory." Long identity.”
"Mayor Su, you're welcome." Tang Zifeng stopped saying anything. Why should he pretend to be low-key when others want to talk about this grand scene? Anyway, we are talking about things, and we can talk wherever we sit, so just let the guests do as they please.
The guests and hosts were seated respectively, and a waiter had already brought tea, fruits and vegetables. Su Rongguo introduced Tang Zifeng to the Tengcun City cadres who participated in the meeting, and said a few more words before getting to the main topic:
"I heard that Director Tang came to Tengcun this time to help Tengji get out of trouble?"
Tang Zifeng waved his hand and said, "I can't even talk about helping people get out of trouble. Under the leadership of Director Zhou, Tengji is not in a very difficult situation at the moment. At least the wages can still be paid sufficiently. Director Zhou asked me to come over. Mainly talking about the cooperation between the two companies. Director Zhou has always been my old leader. When he was in the mechanical department, he was my director. Later he was the director of Linyi Machinery, and I was the director at that time. His assistant. Now that he has come to Tengji and expressed the hope of establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with Linyiji, we will naturally not refuse."
"Yes, yes, Director Tang is really a person who misses old friendships. I heard that under the leadership of Director Tang, Linyi Machinery has been booming and has very good profits. Now Director Tang can give Tengji a hand and make the company more prosperous. Our municipal government is very much looking forward to seeing the Tengji come back to life," Su Rongguo said.
Tang Zifeng said: "Mayor Su has given too much praise. The current achievements of Linyi Machinery are the result of the foundation laid when Director Zhou was here in the past. I am just a person who planted trees for the predecessors to enjoy the shade. When it comes to the Laten Machine Machinery Well, I have some questions and would like to ask Mayor Su for advice. That’s why I took the liberty of visiting you this time.”
"Yeah, if Director Tang has anything to ask, just ask. Our city government is to serve enterprises. If Director Tang has any requirements, we will do our best to meet them." Su Rongguo said. Nice words, I thought to myself: Here we go, finally getting to the point.
"This time due to the reform of the central government, Tengji and many other subordinate enterprises have been decentralized to local governments, and Tengcun City has also been assigned to Tengcun City. I would like to know how Tengcun City handles the transfer of Tengcun Machinery to Tengcun City. What's your attitude?" Tang Zifeng said.
"As a first-level local government, Tengcun City is of course resolutely obedient to the national decision-making. The state has placed Tengcun City under the management of Tengcun City. This is a high degree of trust in us. Of course, we must work hard to provide various services. , support the continued and stable development of Tengji, so that this old enterprise with a glorious tradition can continue to maintain vigorous vitality."
Su Rongguo spoke very smoothly, and he probably said similar words many times on different occasions. However, there is no nutrition in these words, they are all clichés.
Tang Zifeng smiled slightly and said: "Mayor Su, before I came to the city government, I went to Director Zhou and talked with him about many things. From what Director Zhou meant, it seemed that Tengcun Municipal State-owned Assets Bureau Tengji said hello and said that he would not give Tengji any help, including coordinating bank loans and other matters. I wonder if this is a misunderstanding?"
"Is this happening?" Su Rongguo's face quickly became serious, and he asked Xie Da, the director of state-owned assets sitting at the bottom, "Lao Xie, is this what you said to Tengji?"
"No, no, we have never said that." Xie Da denied it. Before Su Rongguo or Tang Zifeng could say anything, he quickly added: "I did communicate with Director Zhou once and said that at present, our state-owned assets It is also very difficult for the bureau to apply for a loan from a bank. If Tengji wants to apply for a loan from a bank through us, we may not be able to help. This is probably what Director Zhou meant."
"How can you speak to the company like this!" Su Rongguo said in a critical tone, "Even if you have difficulties, when the company encounters difficulties, you must go all out to help. How can you say that you can't help? If that's the case? Can you help me? How would you know if you don't try?"
After criticizing Xie Da, he turned back and said with a smile to Tang Zifeng: "Director Tang, there may be some misunderstandings here. Our government serves enterprises, and Tengji is now an enterprise in our Tengcun. How can we Can you ignore death? However, what Director Xie said is true. There are a lot of loss-making companies in Tengcun now. In order to help companies with loans, our government is also doing its best to help companies with loans. Sometimes it’s really not because of our lack of efforts. It’s really It’s beyond my power.”
