292 Mayor's Fall 1
Lin Long was determined to move to the municipal government after hearing this. To this end, he secretly worked as some deputies to the National People's Congress and invited the director of the Municipal People's Congress to dinner many times, so he had the motion to recommend the relocation of the municipal government.
Similarly, in officialdom, there is a ridiculous reason behind many high-sounding events.
Because of Wang Jian's opposition, Lin Long's city government and the municipal party committee sang a drama. When the municipal party committee discussed the promotion and transfer of cadres, Lin Long began to use the veto power frequently. People he doesn't agree with basically can't move.
In some major activities that require the participation of the main leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, Wang Jian and other leaders often write papers on him. Sometimes Lin Long is deliberately late, and he will not be able to drive, so as to show his central position among cadres and the masses.
In the news report, Lin Long should compare with Wang Jian in terms of the primary and length of the page.
In order to promote the relocation of the municipal administrative center to Guangming New District, he began to use his brains.
Coincidentally, at that time, it was found in Jianhai at a Prince's pile site. A wooden totem flying dragon and wings were unearthed at the site. Lin Long had an idea.
He decided to set up a sculpture of the city's cultural center in Guangming New District. His reason was: "The Prince's pile site is a Jianhai cultural site. In order to reflect this major discovery, it is most appropriate to build a sculpture with a dragon wing. The sculpture is placed on the central square of Guangming New District, the most important new area in Jianhai and the future administrative center.
At that time, many people in the city had begun to think that the fight between Lin Long and Wang Jian was public and obvious, and his opinion must be agreed by Wang Jian. The sculpture of the dragon wing was not approved by Wang Jian, and Lin Long arranged for someone to create this golden dragon wing sculpture in the new civic square in Guangming New District.
Flying Dragon Wings is a landmark sculpture of Jianhai City set up by Lin Long. When Jianhai citizens see this sculpture, they will naturally remember that the center of the city should be in Guangming New District. And this sculpture is the wishful thinking of the municipal government, and the municipal party committee does not agree with it. This has spread all over Jianhai.
But no matter what,
The dragon wings are building the sea too **, and the people have accepted this sculpture. Flying dragon wings have almost become synonymous with Jianhai City. This is also a very proud thing for Lin Long.
The success of this dragon wing makes Lin Long very proud, and believes that the relocation of the municipal administrative center will also be a new starting point for his political life.
However, at the municipal two sessions, Wang Jian and Lin Long had serious differences on the general policy of economic development.
Wang Jian has a lot of opinions on Lin Long leading the team to attract investment like a headless fly. He raised a very serious question at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
"What does the government do?" Wang Jian asked with a black face, "You will all say that the government wants to develop the economy. This concept is so popular that everyone accepts it without thinking about it. However, the recent practice of attracting investment by everyone in various departments of our Jianhai Municipal Government highlights that this concept is actually very inappropriate.
"Comrade Wang Jian," Lin Long said dissatisfiedly that because we don't have a good image, Jianhai, so we need to innovate and forgress. Therefore, the municipal government should take economic planning as the center. For this, in a sense, we are fighting a battle."
"Comrade Lin Long, the more you are in difficult times, the more you should keep a clear head," Wang Jian said earnestly. "I think the government only needs to take care of what it should take care of, which is the responsibility of the government in the economic transition period. Economic planning is the center, not let you, the mayor, be the factory director. The municipal government runs a development zone, and the county and district government also runs a development zone, so it is inevitable to waste a large area of land. As for how much investment can be implemented in the end, it is also doubtful.
"Wang Jian's thesis, what do you think the municipal government should do?" Lin Long wants to take Wang Jian's army.
"In a word, the legitimate economic function of the government is to create a good institutional framework and social environment for enterprises and individuals to engage in economic activities and carry out fair competition."
Wang Jian said excitedly, "If you want to do something, you have to do something. I think we should increase our efforts in three links at present. First, what the government should do and should not do; second, what procedures should be done and what procedures should not be violated; third, administrative responsibility should be investigated. If you do not do it in accordance with the law, you should also be investigated for administrative responsibility, and if you do not act in accordance with the law, you should also be investigated for responsibility. The reason why a good government is good may only be that it knows what it should do, what it should not do, what it can do well, and what it may not do. People should have self-knowledge, and the government should also have self-knowledge!"
At this meeting, Lin Long's concept was once again dominated by Wang Jian, which made him very unhappy. In order to establish a higher prestige in Jian Hisense, he began to vigorously transform the city appearance of Jianhai.
Lin Long wants to attract investment by making Jianhai more beautiful, take urban planning as a breakthrough, and establish his image as soon as possible. However, urban planning requires a large amount of money. He couldn't rely on finance, and foreign businessmen couldn't come, so he concentrated his funds to do two things: one was to plant trees, and the other was to build roads.
Lin Long was determined to build Jianhai City, which lacks forests, into a tree-lined garden city during his term. As the saying goes, ten years of trees, 100 years of tree people, and a term of office is only five years. In five years, he could not be able to tree trees in any case, so he transplanted trees into the city.
I don't know who came up with the idea. The big trees transplanted into the city are all pine trees. In order to complete the targets, the district chiefs in the city are full of pine trees. The trees are next to trees and trees, and they do not pay attention to spacing. People joke that Jianhai City is about to become a martyrs' cemetery.
It's not enough to plant pine trees under the windows of ordinary people's homes. The garden department planted them the first day, and the people pulled them out the next day, which made the garden department very headache. At the executive meeting of the municipal government, Lin Long ordered him to watch it.
On the issue of road construction, Lin Long and Wang Jian's ideas clashed again.
Wang Jian believes that it is necessary to appropriately adjust the guiding ideology of urban planning, from the original emphasis on the transformation of large squares and roads to the transformation of small and medium-sized roads. At present, we should focus on the five "people's heart projects", namely, the renovation of shantytowns, the maintenance of small streets and alleys, the beautification of community courtyards, and the rectification of water after rain in low-lying areas. And the renovation of medium and low-end buildings. Lin Long didn't think so. He believes that for a city to be high-class and image-looking, it must build large squares and roads.
Then, Lin Long not only did not greet the municipal party committee in many decisions, but also bypassed the National People's Congress. Lin Long understands that although Wang Jian has a good reputation in Jianhai, he has an advantage in his age and replaces it sooner or later. At present, the most important thing is to set up and manage his own circle, get up and down, and form his own capital and power. Politicians are fundamentally their own team and power. As a politician who wants to make a difference, they must work hard in this regard, so that they can have the capital to realize their ideals.
The core of Jianhai's power must not be held by Wang Jian under the banner of the party. Lin Long is extremely sober and alert, but Wang Jian is an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. This person has too much political experience and he can't always compromise under him. This is Lin Long. Absolutely unacceptable. Because for politicians, Jianhai is an excellent political stage for political achievements, and it can also be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime political opportunity.
Then, soon after, Lin Long was facing many reporters at the investment promotion conference and showing his lofty ideals.
"Mayor Zhang, do you want to plan Jianhai like Washington or New York through government planning? Like the sea city or the coast?" A reporter asked.
"I hope Jianhai is neither like Washington nor New York; neither like the sea city nor the coast. Jianhai's culture is unique. Without the Louvre, what is Paris? Without music, * what is it? Therefore, Jianhai is Jianhai, and Jianhai is unique. Lin Long said brilliantly.
"So what are the advantages of Jianhai?" The reporter asked again.
"The concept of 'runing a city' is our greatest advantage. The new concept of "running a city" was put forward and actively advocated by me after I became the mayor of Jianhai. State-owned enterprises are state-owned assets, and the city itself is also state-owned assets. The government can earn money not only by collecting taxes on enterprises, but also by operating cities to increase fiscal revenue. Enterprises can be managed by the chairman and general manager, while the city can only be managed by the mayor. If the mayor's interest is not in the city but only in the enterprise, the city will be abandoned due to neglect of management. Dirty and messy cities, from an economic perspective, mean a quiet devaluation, that is, the loss of state-owned assets. The mayor doesn't care about the enterprise, as well as the chairman and general manager; if the mayor doesn't care about the city, no one cares about the city.
Lin Long's speech was very provocative. As he spoke, he talked about the concept of the relocation of the municipal administrative center and publicized it in the venue.
However, Wang Jian still opposes it completely.
