Chapter 515: 4 laid-off workers
As soon as the meeting ended, three department- and bureau-level cadres were left behind for individual talks.
The others will be assigned and arranged by the provincial organization department and transferred to the six northern cities.
The provincial party secretary's office is simple and elegant, with two red flags rolled up and inserted behind the desk. He is dressed in standard attire for a senior official, solemn and dignified.
Without a certain level and momentum, it really can't be highlighted.
Pei Yihong did not sit in his own exclusive seat, but sat down on the reception sofa and invited Zhao Anbang, Qi Tongwei and the other two to sit together.
Among the three department-level cadres who participated in this exchange, in addition to He Anxia and Qi Tongwei, there is another 49-year-old cadre, who is the oldest of the three. His name is Ji Jianming. He is also considered a capable person in Handong and has done a lot of things.
Unfortunately, he offended Zhao Lichun during a job and was sent to Qingshui Yamen, where he sat on the bench for many years, wasting a lot of time. Otherwise, his rank would definitely not be lower than He Anxia's.
At 49 years old, he is considered very young, especially for those who have reached a certain level in the officialdom. Overall, they will look younger than their peers. However, Ji Jianming's hair has turned gray, and it is obvious that he is under considerable pressure in Handong.
Pei Yihong first chatted with a few people for a while, learned about their basic situation, and then made arrangements, "Comrade Anxia, Comrade Tongwei, Comrade Jianming, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, I now announce the appointment of the three of you.
Comrade Anxia serves as the secretary and is in charge of the overall work of Beishan City. Comrade Tongwei serves as the deputy mayor of Beishan City and acts as the acting mayor to preside over government work.
Comrade Jian Ming is appointed as a member of the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
After announcing the appointment, Pei Yihong added, "Comrade Anxia, Comrade Tongwei, the positions of the top two leaders in Beishan City have been undecided for half a month, and many tasks are at a standstill. I hope that the two comrades can take office as soon as possible."
Qi Tongwei looked a little embarrassed. He should have taken office half a month ago, but in order to help Gao Yuliang secure the position of mayor, Qi Tongwei was in charge of the hunt for Mr. G and Guo Xiaopeng, and was delayed.
He Anxia and Qi Tongwei immediately expressed their intention to rush to Beishan City today.
Pei Yihong waved his hand and said, "Don't be so anxious. It's getting late today. You can take office tomorrow." He then said to Ji Jianming, "Comrade Jianming, you may have to wait a few days. In a few days, your Tianzhou City will also have a new mayor, who will also be an exchange officer from another province. When the time comes, you can go down together and have a good chat when he arrives. Now you can go down and rest."
"Yes, Secretary Pei." Ji Jianming agreed and stood up to leave.
After Ji Jianming left, the conversation with He Anxia and Qi Tongwei officially began.
Pei Yihong first glanced at Zhao Anbang.
Zhao Anbang received the signal and took out two documents from the desk, handing them to He Anxia and Qi Tongwei. "Comrade Anxia, Comrade Tongwei, this is the latest statistics from Beishan City. The number of laid-off workers has expanded to nearly 400,000, the most serious among the six northern cities. This is why Secretary Pei asked you to go down as soon as possible."
He Anxia and Qi Tongwei looked stern. They took the information and memorized the key data word by word.
Now a huge wave of layoffs has swept across the country. According to incomplete statistics, the number has reached nearly 40 million.
Among them, the northern provinces were the most severely affected, because the north has always been the industrial center of the country, with countless light and heavy industries. Therefore, the impact this time was the most serious on the four northern provinces, accounting for half of the total.
There are nearly four million people in Hanjiang Province, and Beishan City is the worst hit.
Beishan City is famous for having the nationally renowned Hangang Group.
Back then, the Hangang Group was at its peak and was even known as the "Son of Chinese Industry." This company alone had a total of 500,000 employees and retirees!
In addition, Beishan City also has numerous large and small light and heavy industries as well as closely related supporting enterprises.
These enterprises together constitute Beishan City’s huge industrial system, and the number of employees involved is an astonishing over one million!
It can be said that everyone in the entire Beishan City has direct or indirect ties with this huge industrial system, and almost every family has a relative working in these enterprises.
When the data of 400,000 laid-off workers came out, the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee and the top leaders of China attached great importance to it.
Such a large-scale wave of layoffs is bound to trigger a series of serious social unrest problems, and countless families will fall into difficulties. Workers who have lost their source of income will find life difficult. Social security will also face severe challenges, and various contradictions and conflicts will continue to emerge.
The problem is somewhat imminent.
Both of them felt a little pressured for a moment. When had they ever faced such a difficult problem in Handong?
Sure enough, this "exceptional promotion" is not so easy to get.
After waiting for a moment, while the two digested the information, Zhao Anbang also issued instructions: "The first thing you do when you go down, I suggest you calm the emotions of the laid-off workers. These 400,000 workers are not a small number. If we accidentally cause a mass incident, it will become uncontrollable."
After all, he is the son of the provincial party secretary, and his vision and background are not comparable to ordinary people. He Anxia just frowned and said, "Secretary Pei, Governor Anbang, please rest assured, I will go down to visit and comfort the families of laid-off workers on behalf of the provincial and municipal party committees as soon as possible.
At the same time, I plan to lead departments at all levels to establish training institutions to help everyone find reemployment. I will also contact private enterprises to open independent markets and try to absorb some of the employees first."
Pei Yihong nodded to show his satisfaction. This was a standard method and it would definitely have some effect, but he thought it was very limited.
The situation in Beishan City is there. In the past, it focused on industry, which led to a single economic structure. Now, if it wants to absorb laid-off workers, relying on Beishan City’s internal capabilities is definitely not enough.
Pei Yihong turned his attention to Qi Tongwei again.
Qi Tongwei was still immersed in the data, holding the document and looking at it again and again, feeling like a stone was pressing on his chest.
Four hundred thousand workers!
A single spit from each person could drown him. With such a huge population base, his aura must be insufficient.
Despite this, he still appeared calm and composed.
You have to be calm. Even if you can't do it, you still have to have the necessary confidence. If you don't have confidence, you will probably be arrested before you even leave the door of the provincial party secretary's office.
After all, no one dared to use five million people to practice on him.
Qi Tongwei raised his head after being reminded by He Anxia, and calmed down before saying, "Secretary Pei, Governor Anbang, please rest assured, both leaders.
Before coming here, I already had a basic understanding of Beishan City's problems and had made some plans. Now I will give a brief report to the two leaders."
Pei Yihong and Zhao Anbang looked at each other, feeling a little surprised and a little worried.
Just as Pei Yihong said at the meeting, without investigation, there is no right to speak.
Qi Tongwei dared to come up with his own plan before he even went down there. This was not preparing for a rainy day, but reckless and arrogant.
