My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 958 A small detail, yet precisely the key to breaking the deadlock.

It felt like I had received an endorsement.

Li Erfeng came out beaming with joy, and even dared to invite Weidong home for dinner.

Wei Dong, too lazy to waste words with her, went to the comprehensive service hall of Beijiaochang New City.

It was still on the riverside road opposite the free market, but the two-story temporary building had been expanded horizontally several times over.

As Beijiaochang New City has expanded, it has become a new residential area with nearly 10,000 households, tens of thousands of residents, several large factories, construction companies, farmers' markets, and various street shops.

All kinds of municipal management work must be put on the table.

Industry and commerce taxation, health and medical care.

So it's no longer the situation where there were only seven people, and Wei Dong was often away, leaving only six people to be in charge of this new district.

The city has allocated a considerable number of positions, and a site has been selected in the center of the new district, on the bottom two floors of a high-rise building, for the planning of a police station in the area.

There's a building here specifically reserved for the police; the household registration department alone has nearly ten people.

After all, this is a brand new district, and the vast majority of people here are former rural residents who have changed their household registration to urban status.

A large crowd makes it lively, especially since most of them are young people who have just moved to the city, full of energy and excitement.

Wei Dong saw that there were three video arcades and many billiard tables on the street.

Idlers can be seen everywhere.

Ding Haifeng, now the director, nodded to Rang Weidong, "I knew you were back when I saw Shuangpao leave. How long will you stay? We still need you to lead and guide a lot of the work."

He had the best attitude.

Having known Rang Weidong for a long time, I know that he will do everything he can to avoid making mistakes, so I am not worried at all that Rang Weidong will abuse his power for personal gain or use me to do bad things.

His wife quietly became a financial shareholder in the food factory, and every month she had to go to Jiangzhou to attend financial meetings, where she had a lot of contact with Dong Xueqing, Shen Cuiyue, and even Qin Yuye.

To get closer to Wei Dong, she secretly smiled and covered her mouth to convey a message.

Ding Haifeng was quite taken aback when he was only around thirty years old and suddenly became the third-in-command of a municipal bureau in a prefecture-level city.

But he also knew that this was because Wei Dong had obtained it: "This road is too unsettling to walk."

Wei Dong was even happier: "It's right to be nervous. We'll see how the others react later. You know this position comes from reform. If there are controversies and setbacks in the reform, you might be used as a stepping stone. If you get carried away and there's something to hide, you might end up in a bottomless abyss."

Ding Haifeng deeply understands this: "That's why I've been especially careful these past few years."

He asked Wei Dong for advice: "While the new district police station is still in the planning and construction phase, I suggest you build a new type of police station and strive to win a national award for reform. That will stabilize the situation."

Ding Haifeng wouldn't immediately find a reason to refuse, because the police station's structure and the rules of our ancestors are untouchable.

He just sighed and said, "Heaven knows where you got such a clever idea. I'll just do it, but don't make it too outrageous."

Actually, it's still those changes in the police station that Ding Haifeng used to complain about to Wei Dong.

It also incorporates Wei Dong's feelings and experiences in Hong Kong, the police capital: "Can you believe it? Hong Kong only has a population of six or seven million, and more than 20,000 police officers!"

That means there's one policeman for every three hundred people.

In the Beijiaochang New District, there are about 10,000 residents, 10,000 workers, and migrant workers, and you need 600 or 700 police officers.
Ding Haifeng was startled: "I saw in Hong Kong movies that Hong Kong gangsters were rampant and there were thugs everywhere?"

Wei Dong shook his head: "There are indeed gangs, but the overall public security is quite good because they operate by deploying police forces on the streets..."

Ding Haifeng understood: "We need to increase patrols, but we don't have that many people."

Each police officer is a government-funded position within the established staffing quota, and their number is definitely strictly controlled.

In reality, most grassroots units are short-staffed, and overwork is the norm.

How do I add patrol missions?

Wei Dong skillfully explained, "Associate with auxiliary police... no, in this case, we call them joint defense team members, right?"

Ding Haifeng immediately realized: "Oh, oh, oh, using the joint defense team members to supplement the manpower shortage?"

Rang Weidong pointed out the difference between the current and later regulations: "Each time there must be a formal police officer, but they can bring along auxiliary police officers to patrol together to reduce the workload."

Ding Haifeng, who is familiar with grassroots work, said: "Although the expenses of the joint defense team members can be adjusted with other funds, the number of them cannot be too large. If they want to achieve the effect of street patrols, they will still be exhausted."

Wei Dong understood even more: "There are two methods. Currently, most of the joint defense team members are drawn from factory militia and given some subsidies, right? These subsidies can be borne by construction companies and sanitary napkin and corn factories. Secondly, various units in the jurisdiction should encourage the organization of militia, joint defense, and security teams to support the police. I will also arrange a few patrol cars."

Ding Haifeng couldn't help but rub his hands together excitedly: "With this approach, we're definitely far ahead, and no one else can learn from us!" There's no such thing as a patrol car in the whole country; criminal police officers are lucky if they have a 212 for handling cases.

Wei Dong's goal was certainly not just to manage Beijiaochang well: "Money can solve most problems, so vigorously developing the economy and promoting the development of enterprises in the jurisdiction is the only way forward."

Ding Haifeng was quite familiar with this: "Can you say that when a reporter interviews you or when a superior asks you a question?"

Wei Dong nodded: "Give it a try, but we must emphasize that the company is operating legally. If we act as a protector for illegal companies, then the situation will be very serious."

Ding Haifeng, on the contrary, was confident: "Oh, then I'm relieved. As long as the enterprises operate legally, the police unit must protect and support the reform."

Then Wei Dongcai explained the internal details of the later police station reforms.

The old police station only had a few people. They were either exhausted to the point of vomiting blood or eating and drinking to excess. But later, a system of job responsibilities was implemented, with community police, criminal police, public security, household registration, and special police. Even if there were not many people and they had to take on several roles, the responsibility was still assigned to each person, and they could not easily interfere with other people's work.

If it is a large office or branch office with a large number of staff, then it is even more important to have clear responsibilities and powers.

Of course, the most important thing is to make police affairs transparent, establish service halls, and implement various regulations such as responding to every call.

Wei Dong naturally mentioned that he had seen it in Hong Kong: "If you don't go to Hong Kong now, it's really easy to break the rules. It's easiest to say that you read it and then applied it to other situations. Or I'll find you a Hong Kong police magazine or something and say that you're figuring it out on your own?"

Ding Haifeng scratched his head vigorously: "I know you wouldn't harm me, and doing this is certainly beneficial to the work, but you... you're distancing yourself too much. Don't you want to get involved at all?"

Wei Dong chuckled: "I'm afraid you'll be shocked if I tell you about what I got involved in. Last year, You Qili contracted the National Convenience Food Research Center in Beijing. It's essentially the same as his previous Wanshang Trading Company. They'll do anything. In the end, I had to sign the contract to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't go too far."

Even the most insignificant trifle of Wei Dong's made Ding Haifeng gasp: "I really don't think this is a big deal. You should take it easy, the mountains are high and the winds are strong."

This was a heartfelt reminder from an old friend, which made Wei Dong smile and pat his shoulder: "I'm very careful..."

Just then, Lao Tian, ​​Jiang Yong, and the others came over with happy expressions.

It seems they've all received the message from their respective systems: "When Weidong gets back, do you want us to treat him to a meal?"

Eating and drinking are the norm now. More importantly, more than three years ago, when Wei Dong gathered everyone to develop this new development zone, he never expected that almost everyone would be able to overtake others by taking a shortcut.

It's definitely worth celebrating.

It also gives the feeling that everyone is going to work together to create the future.

Years later, even security guards would feel something was amiss: "Back then, it was fine for us to have a meal together, but now it feels like forming cliques and small groups. I'm not qualified to advise you on how to proceed, but I can offer my experience from working and studying in Pengzhen. Shangzhou can be seen as two major districts, an old and a new one. The new district should focus on developing a completely new urban model, improving industrial productivity, and doing everything in a forward-looking way. The old district, on the other hand, should protect its historical sites, preserve its urban characteristics, and gradually demolish unsuitable buildings and relocate them to workplaces. Always consider what Shangzhou can rely on for future development. Basically, if you superiors follow this approach, you'll have a smooth career path in the future..."

This conclusion was drawn by Wei Dong after decades of observation, combined with his current observations of cities like Hong Kong and Tokyo.

Other places can only patch up and subtract in the old city, but the inland areas, which haven't had much large-scale urban construction in the past few decades, can now completely build up the old city before the big boom, and the old and new parts can be clearly separated.

It can also effectively mitigate the huge costs of housing reform within urban areas and address the issue of urban residents' reluctance to relocate to new districts.

For example, Pingjing and Huhai have more serious problems in this regard, while Pengzhen is a contrast between a crazy commercial city and a stable and solid industrial and academic district. Shangzhou is a good place to conduct an experiment.

Before they knew it, Wei Dong was now conducting experiments at the city level.

Even Hong Kongers like the Northern Metropolitan Film Organization and Leung Ka-fai, after having a lunch featuring delicacies from the mountains and wild game, began to stroll out to observe this area, which was quite different from the current atmosphere of mainland cities.

They quickly realized, "Haha, this place feels a bit like Yau Tsim Mong or Kowloon City!"

Those eight-story tenement buildings had their ground floors completely partitioned off as shops, and the distance between the buildings was not large, naturally forming different types of markets along the street.

This is the standard architectural style of old streets in Hong Kong.

Once commerce flourishes, it easily drives in foot traffic, property transactions, and property prices change quietly.

The residents living here also find it very convenient.

These days, there's no such thing as necessarily living in a quiet, upscale community.

Liveliness brings people in.

Liang Jiahui then spotted several more high-rise buildings: "This is Dongzai's style. He built an industrial zone in Pengzhen, full of these high-rises. Hey, boss!"

Wei Dong then took Ding Haifeng to the police station, which was under renovation, to explain in detail. Now, he turned around and took his friends from Hong Kong to visit the new city that had been built in three years.

Left-wing patriotic filmmakers had traveled to the mainland many times, and this was indeed the first time they had seen such a new city. They suddenly asked, "Why don't you make a film in such an environment?"

Leung Ka-fai immediately patted his chest and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it! I can play any role!"

So, Wei Dong grasped the Achilles' heel of Hong Kong films. What he really wanted wasn't the beauty and glamour of Hong Kong, but the propaganda power of this special forces unit!
