Chapter 733 Man-Made Disaster (2)
Long Fuhai knocked on the table with a gloomy face, interrupting Sha Ruijin's frightening speech, "Comrade Ruijin, you are exaggerating.
What is a man-made disaster? If it is not rectified, it is a man-made disaster?
I think if we deal with it according to your request, it would be a man-made disaster.
It is a man-made disaster that people cannot afford to eat and go hungry.
Instead of dwelling on this issue, I think you might as well focus on the issues that you, as the mayor, should really care about.
The right way is to think about how to increase employment and boost the economy in Tianzhou City.
Perhaps this is the root cause of coal mine accidents.
If there is a job that can support a family and has low risks, why would ordinary people choose this dangerous job and go into the dark coal mines? "
Long Fuhai took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, took a deep puff, and continued, "In the final analysis, these problems in the coal mines are actually about food and clothing.
There's nothing I can do.
If we don’t go in, what will the whole family eat and drink?
If we can’t solve the problem of food and clothing, how can we talk about security?
It sounds easy to shut down and rectify, but you have to understand how much GDP and people's livelihoods will be lost.
If you don't work, there's no danger.
But I can tell you, Comrade Ruijin.
A mining accident may happen in Tianzhou, and dozens or even hundreds of people may die, but no one must die of starvation!
If someone starves to death because they have no job, I think at that time we are the real sinners, and it will be more shocking than a mining accident.
Therefore, I implore some of our comrades to sometimes not be too one-sided when looking at problems, but to look at them comprehensively, deeply, and to see the core.”
Sha Ruijin retorted sharply: "Lao Long, am I the one who is exaggerating, or are you the one who is exaggerating?
In my eyes, everyone's life is equal. It is not right for anyone to risk their life to make a living just for the sake of hunger, nor is it right to ignore safety for the fear of starving people to death.
As for the economic and food and clothing issues you mentioned, I also have something to say.
I will not shirk my responsibilities for the work that belongs to our municipal government.
I have already started to solve the employment problem you mentioned. Our municipal government has formulated a comprehensive plan for the employment of 370,000 laid-off workers.
This is originally the work of the municipal government, and there is no need for me to bring it up at the Standing Committee meeting.
However, since this point has been mentioned, I will talk about it and give a report at the meeting.
Regarding the laid-off workers, our municipal government has adopted a multi-pronged approach.
First, learn from the experience of our neighboring city Beishan and organize training for some young and strong people by the municipal government and send them to developed areas.
Second, for some people who do not want to leave their hometown, our municipal government will also develop a diversified street food economy to accommodate them.
Third, at present, the city government’s investment promotion work is also operating at full capacity. So far, it has achieved initial results and is expected to provide 30,000 to 50,000 jobs for our city after next year.
In the next step, I also plan to support several pillar enterprises like Beishan, so as to drive the economy of Tianzhou into the fast lane.
Of course, this is a long-term task that cannot be accomplished in a day or two, nor can it be done by one or two people. I need everyone's support.
I promise everyone, if I can't make Tianzhou a success, I will resign!"
Sha Ruijin's decision stunned the group.
This is already a gamble on your career.
If you win the bet, it will at most become a good topic of conversation after dinner.
If I lose the bet, it’s hard to say whether my political career will end or not, but I will definitely not be able to hold my head up among my peers in this life.
Long Fuhai said: "Comrade Ruijin, you are getting off topic. What you reported is, after all, just a plan and has not been implemented.
Isn’t it too early to talk about rectifying the problem if it hasn’t been achieved?
The entire market is changing, and sometimes plans may not be able to keep up with the changes.
I suggest a gradual approach. I don't want to create new problems without resolving the old ones. This is also my responsibility as the municipal party secretary to maintain stability in the area."
Sha Ruijin said in a deep voice: "I also want to proceed step by step, but the workers' lives will not wait for me. I don't want to see such a tragedy happen again."
Long Fuhai waved his hand and said, "What you are talking about are two different things. Preventing tragedy does not depend on stopping production. There is no conflict at all.
I believe that as long as we take effective measures, we can largely avoid tragedies. Moreover, coal mining is inherently a high-risk industry. Let alone a small municipal coal mine like ours, even a world-class coal mine cannot guarantee that accidents will not occur.
Sha Ruijin wanted to respond, but Long Fuhai stood up just as suddenly as Sha Ruijin did and said sternly, "If you really want to stop all work and rectify the situation, that's fine, but your municipal government must properly relocate the workers. In addition, you can't use other municipal financial funds." After thinking for a moment, he felt that this statement sounded a bit one-sided, so he added:
“What I mean is that the city’s finances are tight right now, and a lot of things need money, so for now it’s not enough to support such a large renovation project.
If you really want to overhaul everything, I support it, but I suggest you wait a little longer, or find a way to solve the funding problem. I can't let the entire city be disrupted because of a trivial safety issue."
Sha Ruijin sighed secretly.
It must be said that old ginger is still the best.
Long Fuhai saw through Sha Ruijin's true purpose at a glance. If he wanted to quickly resolve the problem of the Black Triangle Coal Mine, he needed financial support.
Workers need to be protected during work stoppages, and equipment and safety facilities need to be upgraded, all of which require a lot of money.
Without financial support, Sha Ruijin would be unable to make a living.
Long Fuhai regained control of the Standing Committee and, with a wave of his hand, announced the adjournment of the meeting.
...
As soon as the Standing Committee meeting ended, Ma Lifeng and Long Fuhai walked into the office of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary one after another.
Although he has been the secretary general of the municipal party committee for more than half a month, Ma Lifeng still focuses on serving Long Fuhai.
They took off Long Fuhai's coat tacitly and hung it on the coat rack. Ma Lifeng and Long Fuhai sat opposite each other at the desk.
Ma Lifeng said flatteringly: "Secretary Long, it seems that Tianzhou City is still in your hands. This Sha Ruijin will never escape from your Five Fingers Mountain."
Long Fuhai smiled proudly, with a hint of modesty on his face, "Don't underestimate Sha Ruijin. Compared to the previous mayors, he is still quite capable. We can't be careless."
Ma Lifeng said: "He has some stuff, but I don't think it's much. If it weren't for Qi Tongwei supporting him time and time again, I think he would have been defeated by you and surrendered long ago."
Long Fuhai nodded in agreement. Qi Tongwei had indeed been a great help in his game with Sha Ruijin.
Especially in the case of the letter of accusation, if Qi Tongwei had not leveraged the provincial party committee, he would have used this mysterious letter of accusation to plunge Sha Ruijin into a quagmire and leave him with no time to take care of other things.
Long Fuhai scratched his itchy head and said, "Qi Tongwei is indeed difficult to deal with. I think we must deal with Qi Tongwei before we can tame Sha Ruijin, the Monkey King."
Ma Lifeng cautiously suggested: "Why not ask that person to transfer him away?"
Long Fuhai shook his head. "Qi Tongwei is an exchange cadre. Maybe he could have done it before he retired. But now, it's hard to say. I don't want to trouble him unless I have no other choice."
