1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 562 Reverse Knock (2)

Due to some well-known reasons, the main urban area of ​​Dezhou at that time was a city with few historical attractions to visit. Apart from the tomb of King Sulu in the northern part of the city, there were only places like the Dezhou Station Water Supply Station, the Fuyuan Street Machine Tool Factory Building Complex, the east bank of the Canal Wharf, the First Water Plant, and the Tianqu Street Old Power Plant where people could visit... And among them, the only ones that could be considered to have a sense of history were the scattered buildings on the east bank of the Canal Wharf that had not yet been rebuilt or demolished.

So, after hearing the location described by You Yakun, Lao Dezhou's full-time driver took only more than ten minutes to take his leader to a pavilion near a wooden pier.

………………

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Yang would have such leisure and elegance to find such a quiet and wonderful place. It took me a while to find it."

Walking into this pavilion which was not well preserved, You Yakun smiled and shook hands with Yang Mo who had stood up, then glanced at the items in the pavilion.

Roast the red clay and boil the tea in a stove.

Coupled with the presence of a mature woman carrying charcoal with her delicate hands, this somewhat dilapidated scene is given a unique touch of elegance.

Yang Mo laughed and held out his hand to invite him to sit down: "It's a good opportunity to take a break from the busy life. Besides, the heavy rain has stopped and the air is filled with mist. It's a rare opportunity to taste good tea. If we don't take advantage of this moment to have a few cups, wouldn't it be a waste?"

You Yakun, who was adjusting his sitting position, glanced at him when he heard this.

People like them are with tea all day long, so they naturally know that the more rainy the weather is, the better time to test the quality of tea. Many teas that can reach 9 points in color, aroma and taste on normal days will be considered good if they can reach 7 or 8 points on rainy days.

Yang Mo has never been a warm person, and his relationship with me is not that close; since there is someone else in the pavilion besides the two of them, and it is not even Yang Mo's secretary but Zhuo Mali, then the reason why he asked me out today is definitely not to cultivate feelings, so the words just now were definitely not ordinary greetings.

Thinking of this, You Yakun laughed: "Boss Yang is still the one who enjoys life. To be honest, I envy Boss Yang and the executives of your company so much."

"Mr. Yang, you are very busy on weekdays, but at least you can relax on weekends. As for me... I can only stay in the office!"

As he spoke, You Yakun looked around at the scenery outside the pavilion, pressed his sore shoulders, and sighed, "I still have to thank Mr. Yang. If it weren't for your call, I don't know if my old arms and legs would have survived today."

Yang Mo burst out laughing when he heard what You Yakun said.

Although You Yakun looked like old friends meeting, he seemed very happy to establish a personal relationship with Yang Mo.

But he made it clear in his words that although today is the weekend, people like him do not have days off and are still handling official business in the office...So, this time when I came to see you, Yang, I was actually using my work capacity, not my personal capacity.

You Yakun's cryptic statement is very vague, and you can interpret it in many ways;
But at least one thing is basically certain. With the previous attempts failing, he has basically given up the idea of ​​winning over Yang Mo.

However, Yang Mo was not really willing to see You Yakun's change of heart, so he spread his hands innocently, "Mayor You is in his prime, how can he be so old? DZ City has been well managed in the past six months, can it survive today... Mayor You is blaming me for not cooperating with your work and causing trouble for you?"

Upon hearing this, You Yakun quickly waved his hands and said, "Boss Yang, that's not right. Work is about solving problems and difficulties. Nothing like this will go smoothly forever. The tongue and teeth are so close yet they often fight. How can we just use cooperation or non-cooperation to describe it?"

"Besides, Mr. Yang, you are shouldering the heavy responsibility of the organization. The organization stands at a higher level, sees further, and considers more comprehensively. The perspectives of both sides are different, so it is inevitable that there will be some miscommunication in daily work."

Although the urban property fund company where Yang Mo works can be seen as half a municipal investment company, the other half can be seen as a large fund directly managed by the organization.

I believe everyone knows what "direct management by the organization" means; Dezhou is, after all, just a prefecture-level city. If he dares to say "Yang Mo doesn't cooperate with my work", he might be immediately accused of being a traitor... Although there may not be any direct consequences, once this kind of thing is exposed, it is hard to say whether he can make progress in the future.

Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled and said, "Mayor You is right. If communication is not in place, even the closest people like tongue and teeth may fight. Although it is due to organizational considerations and arrangements, our Urban Property Fund Company does have some shortcomings in this regard."

After half-truthfully pulling off a tiger skin, Yang Mo sighed, then tilted his head to look at Zhuo Mali who was washing tea: "Regarding the work of urban infrastructure, I believe Mayor You is already very familiar with it. The only thing that may not be very clear is probably the use of funds and the progress of the work of the industrial fund... Assistant Zhuo, you are familiar with this area, so I will take the trouble to report the situation to Mayor You."

Zhuo Mali, who was wearing a dress, responded softly when she heard this, then slowly distributed the freshly brewed Pu'er tea to the two of them, then put down the fairness cup in her hand and turned slightly towards You Yakun.

"Although the strategy adopted by Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company at this stage is still investment-driven incubation, unlike the common policy-based investment, the investment direction of Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company is mainly focused on building the software and hardware foundation of the four-level economic ecosystem of cities, counties and villages."

"So far, in order to ensure that the light and heavy industrial products exchange plan effectively feeds back to the city and county manufacturing enterprises, we have raised 5.4 million yuan to invest in Jincang Company, and promptly pre-disbursed 459 million yuan of funds to 3.24 city and county enterprises that participated in the plan to alleviate their own operating pressure, and allocated an additional total of about 114 million yuan in support funds to 8700 companies including research institutions to promote their technology and industrial upgrading;"

"In addition, in order to ensure the smooth flow of goods, Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company has raised 3.1 million yuan in the form of commercial bonds. It plans to build 145 kilometers of secondary roads and 271 kilometers of tertiary roads before the end of this year to open up logistics channels between 4 counties and 96 townships... Although strictly speaking, this should belong to the category of urban infrastructure, the city's finances are not sufficient and there are not many high-quality assets that can be mortgaged. Therefore, according to Mr. Yang's idea, this cost will be included in the incubation cost of industrial upgrading, and then the goodwill of Dahua Company will be used as collateral to issue commercial bonds."

"At the same time, considering the actual situation in DZ City, it is impossible to invest all funds and energy in the industrial and manufacturing fields. This will cause an imbalance in industrial output value and regional income, thus deriving more social contradictions. Therefore, starting from March this year, we have used the 3 million dividend surplus from the three artificial mulberry fungus cultivation bases through the property rights finance model to further expand the GAP medicinal material planting base to an additional 7.6 acres; we have also cooperated with the Provincial Academy of Science and Technology to adopt the method of [industry segmentation, raw materials planted nearby] to introduce a series of planting projects such as industrial peppers (that is, Yunnan's shabu-shabu spicy, which has a wide range of uses), neem, sophora flavescens, juniper, and bitter vine... These new planting projects, together with the surrounding supporting facilities, can form a series of high value-added industries such as biological pesticides, ship antiseptics, beauty, health care, and green food additives. These products are very popular in Europe and the United States today. As long as the quality meets the standards, there is absolutely no worry about finding a market."

"In addition, since Dezhou is a newly promoted prefecture-level city, the higher authorities have requirements for Dezhou's indicators such as urbanization rate. In order to fulfill the promise that General Manager Yang made to the city at the meeting, and also to ensure the normal operation of the four-level value circulation system of city, county, and village, since March this year, we have carried out five ideological mobilization activities for nearly 3 village collective enterprises, and plan to invest a total of 74 million yuan in the first batch of 1.4 towns to build them into rural commodity logistics distribution centers, business trade centers, leisure centers, and preschool education centers... The total population of Dezhou is not large at present. As long as these 74 rural centers are built, it will not be difficult to raise the urbanization rate of Dezhou with the siphon effect they produce."

"Of course, since it is a four-level value circulation system of cities, counties, and villages, it is naturally impossible to focus only on the connection and circulation between the two levels of villages. Up to now..."

Zhuo Mali must have some outstanding qualities to be chosen by Yang Mo to be his assistant. Although she did not have a single page of information in her hands, she could recite all the work data of the Urban Property Fund Company in the first half of this year by heart.

After reporting for more than half an hour, Zhuomali smiled and concluded: "In short, if these plans can be implemented smoothly, the per capita GDP level of residents in the main urban areas of DZ City and County should be able to cross the 1000 US dollar line by the middle of next year at the latest; and by the end of next year, the residents of rural areas in most areas will be close to this level... As long as the per capita GDP level in Dezhou can cross this line, the economic and commercial ecology of DZ City will enter a stage of rapid transformation and reconstruction. By then, driven by the market, the industrial problems of this old industrial zone will naturally be solved."

You Yakun was stunned when he heard the string of thrilling astronomical figures coming out of Zhuomali's mouth. You know, in 1990, that is, last year, the nominal GDP of DZ City (county-level city) had just exceeded 20 billion (this is still the variable of Yang Mo, otherwise it would not have reached that level), and the investment budget reported by Zhuomali just now has exceeded 20 billion... Although there are limited ways to calculate GDP in China now, the figures obtained are not accurate, and the actual GDP of DZ City is definitely more than that, but the investment budget of billion is still a figure far beyond his imagination.

But he didn't doubt that it was bragging.

Although he does not have the authority to supervise or even query the large fund accounts of the Urban Property Fund Company, since Yang Mo was able to set up a commercial demonstration zone and the 20 billion light and heavy industrial products exchange plan with his bare hands last year, then with his influence and undefeated golden body, it is not difficult for him to raise more than billion yuan in funds from the society and then spend it all... If this guy does not even have this ability, how can he deserve the special attention of the organization.

But the reason why he was stunned was not just because of the astronomical figures that were enough to scare people at the moment, but because of the projects invested by Yang Mo.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, although these investment projects are carried out under the name of supporting investment for industrial upgrading, in fact a considerable part of them are just doing the work for the city... Whether it's building roads or planning agricultural and sideline industries for local governments, these are not jobs that a corporate company should do.

If this kind of behavior was presumptuous in other regions, the local authorities would be furious and might even grab Yang Mo by the collar and ask, "What the hell do you want to do?!"

But this series of actions is completely different in Texas today.

It has only been half a year since Dezhou was promoted from a county-level city. The old industrial areas have a weak foundation and low vitality, and the relationship between the new team that was parachuted in and the counties is even more of a mess. Under such circumstances, we would be thankful if we could sort out the basic work and barely control the situation this year.

Economic work results?

I dare not hope for it!
However, although Yang Mo's bottom-up approach had no direct effect on clarifying the administrative channels between cities and counties, it pushed forward the economic construction work in Dezhou area in an orderly manner, and even made up for the hard indicators that DZ City should make up.

No, it's not just about pushing forward the economic construction work in an orderly manner, it should be said that it is pushing forward in small steps and fast progress... Although You Yakun didn't know why Zhuomali repeatedly emphasized the indicator of $1000 per capita GDP when she was summarizing, from her statement, this should be a very important variable line; combined with the industrial upgrading task that Yang Mo was carrying, he was even more convinced of this.

In short, although on the surface, Yang Mo's presumptuous behavior was a great offense to You Yakun; but in fact, it directly pulled You Yakun out of the sea of ​​​​fire, and then slapped a blinding report card on his chest... People who do not work in the system will not understand how difficult it is to carry out this kind of work in a newly promoted prefecture-level city.

Looking at Yang Mo, who was sipping tea with a faint smile, with complicated eyes, You Yakun felt endless doubts in his heart.

Why didn't you say it before?
If you had taken some time to breathe, our relationship wouldn't have become so strained. I've shown my goodwill to you twice before, and I don't believe you couldn't see it.

Thinking of the two times when Yang Mo had rejected his kindness in private but then showed implicit kindness again, You Yakun became even more confused.

Showing this kind of ambiguous kindness in private, but being tough with me at work, what kind of behavior is this?
But thinking of Yang Mo's way of dealing with people, and how he would confront him on some tasks but be unusually cooperative on other tasks, You Yakun immediately made his own judgment.

Yes, the reason why Yang Mo behaved so contradictory was that he wanted to make these plans bypass the administrative system as much as possible, otherwise there would be endless variables in their implementation.

I just don't know whether this was his own intention or an instruction from the organization... After all, the big fund of the Urban Development Fund Company is an experimental project, and DZ City is also a pilot city for the tax-sharing reform. It is not impossible that the organization wants to try more directions.

Thinking of this, You Yakun's heart suddenly trembled, and some of the questions he wanted to ask were suddenly suppressed in his stomach - since he did not have the authority to supervise the large fund accounts, it would be better for him to ask less about other related matters. Didn't you see that even the provincial government did not send anyone to inspect the work this year?

It was just that You Yakun didn't plan to speak, but Yang Mo didn't think of giving up. Seeing that he remained silent, he smiled softly, then stretched out his hand: "Mayor You, what do you think of this tea today?"

You Yakun nodded, looking at Yang Mo with admiration in his eyes: "It is indeed a good tea. Even though the sudden rain has just stopped and the clouds are hazy, once you put this tea into your mouth, you can still clearly feel its special sweetness. If you drink a few more sips, your tongue will ooze out saliva... It is really a rare good tea."

Yang Mo naturally understood the other party's implication, but he smiled and said: "Since the three hundred ancient trees in Kunlu Mountain can be surrounded and turned into a royal tea garden, the taste must be good."

When You Yakun heard this, his face froze. He was a little unsure whether Yang Mo was confronting him.

Seeing this, Yang Mo smiled softly, took out the green box giant panda that his apprentice's father had given him as a gift, and gave one to him. Then he sighed, "It's just that although our Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company has tried its best to roll out the work, manpower is limited after all. No matter how good the plan is, it can't keep up with the speed of change... At present, the Urban Property Fund Company has encountered some minor unexpected changes. If it is not handled well, let alone whether the industrial upgrading plan can be smoothly promoted, even the hard indicators that the city needs to make up this year, whether they can be completed will need a big question mark."

At this point, Yang Mo gently passed the kerosene lighter over the stone table, but his tone seemed a little indifferent: "So there is no other way. Today I can only find an opportunity to ask for help from You Shi in private... There is no other way. If I ask the organization for help all the time, it will make me look too incompetent."

Looking at the green-boxed giant panda that Yang Mo took out, which only a few people in the province had a quota for, You Yakun was startled;
When I heard the words "ask for help from the organization", I confirmed my guess.

After hesitating for a moment, You Yakun picked up the lighter that Yang Mo pushed over, lit the cigarette in his hand, and then showed concern on his face: "Boss Yang, I wonder what difficulties you have encountered over there?"

Sensing You Yakun's waiting attitude, Yang Mo sighed: "It's really sad to say that, I originally had a good plan, but the incubation plan of strong village companies in some regions has gone wrong... You may not know that these strong village companies are not only a crucial link in building the local subdivided industrial chain, but whether they can develop rapidly is also directly related to whether DZ City can meet the urbanization rate target this year."

"If this accident was caused by other reasons, then I would be embarrassed to trouble Youshi for a special trip; but this matter is related to the Solitary Island No. 2 project..."

Yang Mo paused for a moment, a look of entanglement on his face: "Hey... You Shi, you know that I am from the oil system after all."

Oh?
Is it related to the Solitary Island II project?
You Yakun was a little surprised. He glanced at Yang Mo and started to think quickly in his mind.
