When will I have a long tassel?

After hearing Tang Zifeng's words, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, if the Machinery Department could come forward to say hello, a mere industrial and commercial branch in a city would not dare to withhold money.

Everyone has heard about the bank's tightening of monetary policy. It is certainly reasonable for the industrial and commercial branch to withhold Linyiji's money in this name.

But with hundreds of billions of loans issued by banks across the country, where are the hundreds of thousands of dollars missing? The Ministry said hello and said that the situation at Linyi Airport was special and they hoped that the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China would be more lenient. Could the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China not grant this favor?

However, Tang Zifeng was right. The fact that the money was withheld by the industrial and commercial branch was just a small trouble in business operations for Linyiji. If the ministry has to come forward to resolve such a minor trouble, what will the ministry think of the current leadership team? We all want to make some achievements to impress our superiors. But now that we have not achieved results, we have to ask our superiors to wipe our ass. Are you sorry?

"I think this matter should be resolved by the Linhe Municipal Government." Ning Suyun said to Zhou Heng, "The Municipal Industrial and Commercial Branch is under the leadership of the municipal government. If we cannot communicate with the Industrial and Commercial Bank, we should go to their superiors. Coordination. Regarding the difficulties faced by Linyi Machinery, the Linhe Municipal Government should be aware of it, and I think the city leaders should be more considerate of the overall situation."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Xiao Ning is right. These days, I have been focusing on rectifying things in the factory, and I have never bothered to go to the city hall. In any case, we are also an enterprise on the ground in Linhe City. The new team must report to the Land Master no matter what."

Having said this, he turned to Fan Caihong and asked, "Xiaofan, which city leader was in charge of our factory's affairs in the past?"

"It's Lu Zhenghong, the city's deputy mayor in charge of industry, transportation, finance and trade." Fan Caihong replied.

"Contact Mayor Lu and tell him that I want to visit him and ask him when the time is suitable," Zhou Heng said.

"Okay, I'll make a call in a minute." Fan Caihong responded.

Next, everyone discussed the contingency plan. If the negotiations with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China get protracted and the wages originally promised to the workers will be delayed for a period of time, necessary explanations must be done and considerations must be taken. The issue of livelihood relief for some needy workers is also very trivial.

After the meeting, Fan Caihong immediately contacted the municipal government. Hearing that Lin Yiji's newly appointed factory director was coming to visit him, Vice Mayor Lu Zhenghong immediately humbly said that he did not dare to bother Factory Director Zhou, and that he should go and visit Director Zhou in person.

Of course, Fan Caihong knew that Lu Zhenghong's words were just a false politeness, so he also said some high-sounding words in the name of haha, and finally finalized the matter of meeting this afternoon. As for the meeting place, of course it was still at the city hall, and it was impossible for Lu Zhenghong to actually come and visit him.

At the appointed time, Zhou Heng took Fan Caihong and Tang Zifeng and took a car to the city hall. Lu Zhenghong sent his secretary Lu Wei to greet him downstairs in the city hall. When Lu Wei brought Zhou Heng and his party into Lu Zhenghong's office, Lu Zhenghong smiled and walked to the door to greet him. Then while shaking hands with Zhou Heng, he apologized and said that he was picking up the provincial leaders just now. I'm really sorry that I couldn't go downstairs to greet him personally. As for whether this is true or false, only God knows.

After exchanging pleasantries, the guests and hosts took their seats respectively. Zhou Heng said: "Mayor Lu, I'm very sorry. In fact, I should have come to visit you a long time ago. It's just that Linyiji has just undergone a complete replacement of the leadership team, and all management tasks are very chaotic. I just took over, and all kinds of There are so many things going on, so I can’t spare the time to come over, so please forgive me, Mayor Lu.”

Lu Zhenghong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "What did Director Zhou say? Although Linyi Machinery is a subordinate enterprise, within the scope of our Linhe City, we are a family. In fact, I should come to congratulate Director Zhou when he takes office, but I have no choice but to do so." During this period of time, the city has been engaged in the work of creating excellence, but I am also very busy, so Director Zhou has to come to the city government in person, which is really embarrassing."

"It's right for me to come to the city government." Zhou Heng said, "Mayor Lu must also be very aware of Linyiji's situation. There were problems with the style of the leadership team in the past, which caused Linyiji to fall into serious losses and became a The burden of the country. The Ministry sent me here in the hope that I can lead Linyi Machinery to get out of trouble quickly and turn losses into profits. To do this, we cannot do without the strong support of Linhe City Government. To be honest, Mayor Lu said, I came to the city hall this time just to ask for help from the city government.”

Lu Zhenghong said: "Director Zhou, stop talking about helping. Linyiji's matter is also our Linhe City's business. How can we ask for help when it's our own business? What does Director Zhou need the city government to do?" , even though that’s what you’re told, don’t I, the deputy mayor, work as a waiter for enterprises?”

Zhou Heng said: "Even if we let Mayor Lu serve as a waiter? Speaking of which, there are many things that need the city government's help when I'm on the road. However, there is one thing that I am anxious about right now, so I am anxious to see Lu. Mayor."

"What happened?" Lu Zhenghong asked.

Zhou Heng told Lu Zhenghong about the fact that the gold car's payment was withheld by the city's industrial and commercial branch. He said that the payment recovered from Jinche was crucial for Lin Yiji to get out of trouble. With this money, the factory can pay wages to employees and rekindle hope in the factory. The various reform measures of Linyiji's new leadership team can only be implemented smoothly in such an environment. And if the money is withheld by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Lin Yiji's plan to get out of trouble will be difficult to implement.

"Is there such a thing? Xiao Lu, do you know why?"

Lu Zhenghong asked his secretary Lu Wei with a dark face.

Lu Wei said: "Mayor Lu, I know a little bit about this situation. Since last year, stock fever, real estate fever, and development zone fever have occurred in various places, and the loan scale of financial institutions at all levels has become out of control, which has attracted the attention of central leaders. This year the central bank It is proposed to tighten money, requiring all commercial banks to reduce the scale of loans, and to recover loans that have been issued in a timely manner. Not only Linyiji, many companies in Linhe City have been demanded by banks for loans, and many companies have also encountered It’s like the situation Director Zhou just said.”

"Is that so?" Lu Zhenghong looked thoughtful.

The questions and answers between these two people were like a double act in the eyes of Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng. Lu Zhenghong must have known the reason why the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China withheld Linyiji's funds, but he did not say it directly. Instead, he borrowed Lu Wei's words. In this way, he is equivalent to an outsider who has no knowledge of the matter and has a lot of room for maneuver.

Zhou Heng was not interested in playing tricks with Lu Zhenghong. He said: "Mayor Lu, President Wei from the Industrial and Commercial Branch also told Mr. Ning, the chief economist of our factory, about this situation. Naturally, we cannot influence the country's policies. . But when the country proposes tightening money, it does not take back the money indiscriminately. If this is the case, what else do banks need to do? Banks are used to lend money to enterprises. What banks have to do is to provide help when it is time, not to add insult to injury, right? so?"

Tang Zifeng interjected from the side: "Director Zhou, what you said is not complete. When I was in college, the finance teacher said that in capitalist countries, the operating policy of banks is to dislike the poor and love the rich. It’s just the icing on the cake, never the icing on the cake.”

"You are talking about a bank from a capitalist country. Is the city's industrial and commercial branch such a bank?" Zhou Heng said.

Tang Zifeng smiled and said: "I don't know about this. Should I ask President Wei to ask whether their branch is a capitalist bank or a socialist bank?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why is the Industrial and Commercial Branch not a socialist bank?" Zhou Heng glared at Tang Zifeng in mocking words.

Lu Zhenghong's eyebrows furrowed. He had just sang a double act with his secretary, and in a blink of an eye, the factory director and assistant also sang a double act for him.

The conversation between Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng gave him a multiple-choice question: Is the industrial and commercial branch under your management capitalist or socialist? In other words, are you a capitalist mayor or a socialist mayor?

At this time, the old man's southern speech had been widely conveyed. Leaders at all levels knew about such expressions as "Zi Xingshe". But even if you don't ask about your surname, as a first-level government official, you still need to have a minimum of political awareness.

One of the country's current priorities is to get state-owned enterprises out of trouble. Linyi Machinery is a subordinate enterprise of the Ministry of Machinery. The Ministry of Machinery specially sent Zhou Heng to Linyi Machinery as the factory director to lead Linyi Machinery out of trouble. If Linhe City is dismantled at this time, That is a lack of overall awareness, and it is difficult to explain to superiors and subordinates.

It can be said that if Lu Zhenghong dared to say that he did not care about Lin Yiji's life or death, Zhou Heng would dare to drag him to the province to ask for an explanation. The president of the industrial and commercial branch may not talk about politics, but Lu Zhenghong has to talk about it. This is why Zhou Heng did not trouble Wei Yonglin, but came to Lu Zhenghong for negotiation.

"Xiao Lu, call the Industrial and Commercial Branch and ask Wei Yonglin to come over." Lu Zhenghong ordered Lu Wei.

Lu Wei went out to make a phone call, and Lu Zhenghong turned to Zhou Heng and said, "Director Zhou, this matter involves the bank's business. Their business is also managed vertically, and I can't overstep them. Is this good? I asked Xiao Lu to call Wei Yonglin over, and you can communicate here, and I will be your witness. When it comes to policy matters, I am definitely on your side, what do you think?"

Lu Zhenghong had spoken to this extent. What else could Zhou Heng say, except to express his gratitude to Lu Zhenghong. Lin Yiji is a bureau-level unit, but he still has to look at the face of a deputy mayor. This is called being bullied by a dog.
