Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

Wang Hongtao said solemnly and worriedly: "In addition to the epidemic itself, people in Yunnan Province have begun to worry about the impact of the epidemic on the economy. After the unblocking, companies in various places delayed the start of operations, and offline consumption such as tourism, catering, transportation, and entertainment came to a standstill. Production and operations were suspended. , income and cash flow are disrupted, can the small and medium-sized enterprises that have been most affected survive it? The service industry will bear the brunt first, followed by the manufacturing industry. The economy of Yunnan Province, which is already facing greater downward pressure, will enter a downward channel due to this epidemic, and even Shake the foundation!

Not only catering, but also service industries that rely heavily on offline services such as aviation, tourism, entertainment, and retail have been severely hit, with revenue almost falling off a cliff. Small and medium-sized enterprises are also facing a huge impact, especially those with poor cash flow and unstable operations will suffer a great test! Some small, medium and micro enterprises that are smaller in size and have weak risk resistance are facing bankruptcy. Risks may also be transmitted up and down and horizontally along the supply chain and guarantee chain, triggering local crises.

Behind the plight of small and medium-sized enterprises are the challenges facing employment and people's livelihood. Offline service industries such as catering, entertainment, and tourism have created a large number of jobs. These positions have a high proportion of flexible pay and piece-rate wages, which will have a serious impact on employment and residents' income.

In the face of a catastrophic disaster, we have seen the country's strong mobilization and organizational capabilities.

At present, Yunnan Province has fallen into an extreme predicament. The only thing the provincial party committee and government can do is to ensure the food, employment and other livelihood issues of the 4700 million people. As for development, they have more than enough ambition but not enough power!

Therefore, we had no choice but to come to the Ministry of Finance and ask for help from the two ministers! "

After speaking, Wang Hongtao handed the Yunnan Province's fund application report to the two ministers of the Ministry of Finance.

But as soon as he saw the first item, regarding the increase in the final calculation of transfer payments, He Zhengyi couldn't take his eyes away. He knew very well that the transfer payment budget of Yunnan Province this year was 3175 billion yuan, but Wang Hongtao's report directly stated that The request is increased to 4000 billion yuan. You must know that only Sichuan and Henan provinces have reached 4000 billion in the national transfer payment budget. But what is the population base of those two provinces? At least twice that of Yunnan Province! As long as he was ruthless, he didn't expect that the lion would open his mouth like this!

"Secretary Hong Tao, this is a bit unrealistic, isn't it? An increase of 825 billion yuan? This doesn't make sense!"

Wang Hongtao said with a smile: "Minister, I am very concerned about financial work on weekdays. The official website of the Ministry of Finance issued a letter in response to the CPPCC proposal: In accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the central government, we will conscientiously implement proactive fiscal policies and significantly increase the central government's special transfer payments to local governments." It is a general transfer payment scale, and the allocation of funds is tilted towards underdeveloped areas and ethnic minority areas to support the smooth operation of local finances, promote sustained and healthy economic and social development, and protect and improve people's livelihood.

Yunnan Province has just experienced a major epidemic. The underdeveloped and ethnic minority areas meet the requirements in every aspect. We are not talking about it without any basis. It is really the most difficult situation in Yunnan Province. Anyone who can survive will not be so shameless. Ask for help.

Coptis chinensis is hard, and having no money is even harder; climbing to heaven is hard, and asking for help is even harder! Minister, I made you laugh! "

"Hong Tao, we have known each other for several years. You don't need to criticize Huai. I completely understand the special situation in Yunnan Province, but there is a limit to everything. If it is billions, I will bite the bullet and dial it, but you are too open-minded. Big. You are also a provincial secretary, so you know that such a big matter is not something I can decide. How about this, regarding the transfer of payment funds, I will report to my superiors and give you a reply as soon as possible, okay?"

"Minister, as long as you don't lie to me, that's fine. However, I just came to Beijing. If these things are not handled properly, I don't plan to return to Yunnan Province. Don't say that I have become a deadbeat. I really have no choice!"

He Zhengyi had no choice but to continue reading the application report of Dian Province. After reading it patiently, he said directly that he could not be the boss and had to ask the leader for instructions.

Wang Hongtao said that it was understandable and stood up to leave, but they agreed to have a casual meal together at noon. He laughed and said that no matter how poor Dian Province was, he could afford a meal. His attitude was very tough and He Zhengyi could not refuse.

At lunch time, when He Zhengyi and Tong Guohua walked into the box, they saw Lin Zifan and Liu Tuo. The "two great gods" of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection were regarded as mascots by Wang Hongtao and used to accompany guests every time. The effect is excellent.

You must know that these two "horse boys" who are always on call by Wang Hongtao are the targets that most people in the capital want to treat and make friends with!

The meal was of course a feast for both host and guest, and it accelerated the progress of the Ministry of Finance’s application for funds from Yunnan Province.

In the afternoon, Wang Hongtao and his party came to the Ministry of Education, which was the highlight of this trip to the capital!

The leaders of the Ministry of Education actually knew Wang Hongtao's intention, and they had a headache. It was no small matter to run a school with two institutions. The Ministry of Education could only make plans after the central government set the tone. Now several provinces are running, and they are also in a dilemma. They are all high-ranking officials, no one wants to offend, and no one can afford to offend!

Minister Chen Shaobo really wanted to avoid meeting him, but Dian Province sent a work matching letter in advance. It was really difficult to shirk, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet Wang Hongtao and his party.

After the meeting, Wang Hongtao first expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of Education, especially for their support of his work. The "Qinhan University" in Qin Province will be able to enroll students in the summer, which is really a good thing for the country and the people.

After making the rounds, Wang Hongtao directly submitted an application for Yunnan Province to host two universities, explained the necessity of the work, and formally submitted the application documents.

Minister Chen Shaobo's face looked like constipation, and he said with embarrassment: "Secretary Hongtao, it is a great good thing that you want to improve the education level of Yunnan Province. You will make full use of it, and I completely understand your mood, but I am just a minister! Those 'big officials' in the two houses of government How can I direct the action? We all have to serve them. I may not even have a say in whether these two universities can be established and where they should be established. We can only cooperate with the Ministry of Education to implement the decision after it is made. Please You must understand!”

Wang Hongtao is not impatient. He has long been prepared for a protracted war. He will not believe the words of these "old six" people at all. How can the Ministry of Education not play a role? So what's the use of them?

As a result, the two parties started a very "friendly" conversation. From "wrangling" at 3 o'clock to getting off work at 5:30, Wang Hongtao went out to make a phone call.

After returning, Wang Hongtao said with a smile: "I have wasted Minister Chen's time all afternoon. I have to apologize no matter what. I will arrange dinner. Thank you Minister Chen for your continued support!"

How dare you eat Wang Hongtao's food now? Chen Shaobo tried his best to evade.

Who knew that Wang Hongtao whispered: "Minister, to express my gratitude and attention, I finally invited Secretary Deming to accompany me for dinner. Is this sincere enough?"

Chen Shaobo was speechless for a moment. Is this a treat? Pure kidnapping! They have invited Secretary Chen Deming, the great master, to come out. Looking at the whole country, who dares not to go? This meal is so delicious that it’s hard to digest!

"Hong Tao, you won't lie to me, will you? Will Secretary Chen really come?"

"Minister, how dare I joke about this kind of thing? Do you want me to call Secretary Chen again in person?"

"No, no, I believe you, let's go quickly, we can't let Secretary Chen wait!"

On the way, Chen Shaobo and Wang Hongtao whispered.

"Hong Tao, it's not that I don't help, it's just that my ability is limited, and your matter is beyond my ability. But now that you have found my brother, I won't ignore it. Let's do this. I will tell Yunnan Province during the briefing. Listed as the first candidate recommended by the Ministry of Education, what do you think?"

"Minister, thank you so much! You are our great benefactor in Yunnan Province! If you need our brothers in the future, just speak up and do whatever you can, and find ways to do whatever you can't!"

When people are happy and righteous, it is easy to talk. Chen Shaobo said: "In order to support the in-depth advancement of the improvement of weak links and capacity improvement of compulsory education, the Ministry has approved and issued a subsidy budget for the improvement of weak links and capacity improvement of compulsory education. Yunnan The cost savings is about 15 billion. I'm supporting you. How about doubling it for you? Are you worthy of today's meal?"

"Minister, thank you so much! How about I treat you to dinner every day and make sure you are satisfied every time!"

"Hongtao, please forgive me, brother. The funds in the ministry are all for special projects. The basic education in Yunnan Province is indeed relatively poor. Even if you tilt it once, it can be said to be over. The situation in Yunnan Province is special this year and the epidemic has a great impact. Can we If you find a reason to stall, Secretary Chen will have to talk to me if you do it again!"

"Minister, we must help with the matter of the two universities. The awesomeness has been blown out. If these two things cannot be done, there is no place for my face!"

"Brother, I really admire you. You dare to think and do anything. You are so courageous! Just work hard. As long as you can become one, it will be a great thing. I will try to help as much as I can, but it is up to others to make troubles. Everything depends on Heaven, you know!"

"Thanks for the reminder, brother. I work for the benefit of Yunnan Province, and I am honest and upright. No matter who I am in front of, I will always stand upright and argue with reason. Yunnan Province needs these two universities to settle down more than other places."

"So you are awesome, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary in his thirties, you are the only one who can win! Hong Tao, we have to keep watch and help each other!"

“I am not an ungrateful person for the minister’s support!”

After the food and wine were served, Secretary Chen Deming happened to come in.

After finishing the opening drink, Secretary Chen directly toasted Chen Shaobo with a glass of wine and asked him to increase his support for Yunnan Province!

A glass of wine and a word are enough to show his importance and support for Wang Hongtao. At least Chen Shaobo has never heard of it. Who has Secretary Chen helped like this?

Everyone carries the sedan chair, and when things go well for you, there are plenty of people who are the icing on the cake, especially leaders like Wang Hongtao who have a very obvious upward trend. As long as they are doing administrative work, no one will offend them. As the saying goes, don’t bully a young man into poverty, let alone a provincial party secretary in his thirties? Unless your brain is flooded, you dare not underestimate it. Therefore, when Wang Hongtao goes to Beijing to do business, as long as it is not too excessive, he will usually get the green light.
