"Comrades, at present, both the municipal and provincial levels remain silent on our factory disposal plan. There has been no official voice or action from higher authorities to indicate support for auctioning these factories.
You know, once the auction method is really adopted to dispose of these factories, the stakeholders, employee groups and other parties behind these factories that may be affected will be affected.
Once they unite and launch a strong protest, or if things get out of hand, will they really support this auction decision without reservation? At least, I haven't seen the relevant superiors say a word yet."
Nong Jingwen's wording can be said to be quite tactful and cautious.
He was a member of the county party committee standing committee. Once something major happened, the relationship between government levels became very delicate. Just like the delicate and complex relationship between Changming County, Xiyun City, and the province, this situation became even more thorny when facing pressure from powerful forces.
Nong Jingwen is worried that if the city and province do not support Changming County’s position and actions, things may deteriorate further and become difficult to manage.
Everyone can see that those powerful forces with greater backing are not willing to bow their heads easily, and are even less willing to pay fines just because of a request from the Changming County Government.
This is because, in their minds, actively admitting mistakes and paying fines is tantamount to admitting their mistakes and weaknesses, which is a huge blow to the image they have established and their prestige in the local area.
"Comrade Jingwen, you've been in politics for so many years and are a veteran. I think you understand some things better than anyone else. During this sensitive period, our two superiors remain silent, which effectively acquiesces to our actions.
They understand that some things, although in line with the general direction, cannot be personally implemented for various reasons. So, when they see us doing things they want to do but cannot do, they choose to support us.
Of course, this is just my personal judgment and may not be completely accurate. But I want to tell you that even with the pressure from Yancheng, their decision to sacrifice pawns to save the king would not be surprising.
Because in this officialdom where interests are intertwined, protecting one's own people and giving up some pawns is the norm.
But please rest assured, if any trouble comes my way, I will shoulder it without hesitation. If I bow to those powerful forces and compromise, then my position as county party secretary will be meaningless.
Even if I were to be transferred back to the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism to take up a sinecure, I wouldn't complain. If a true official can't serve the people, then occupying this position is meaningless and will only make people feel incompetent!
Feng Yuxing was not just shouting slogans when he said this. After he transferred from being an "air warrior" to the local area, everything he did was truly for the welfare of the people, and he did it with his usual simple and crude methods.
"Assuming those factories don't pay the fines, we can also auction them off. But those big families are blatantly threatening that any company that dares to buy their factories will face joint retaliation from them, so..." Nong Jingwen looked at Feng Yuxing and said.
What he said is also a very realistic issue. If you have money, you can start your own business. There is no need to offend the big forces in the provincial capital.
"Comrade Jingwen, you've hit the nail on the head. Those powerful family-owned businesses or individuals, faced with administrative penalties imposed by the county government, often adopt a hardline attitude and refuse to fulfill their obligations, as if using this as their trump card and capital to resist legal sanctions.
They may think that they can demonstrate their strength and influence in this way, and even try to force the county party committee and county government to make concessions.
However, they don't realize this is a huge taboo! This behavior not only shows contempt for the rule of law, but also challenges a fair and just market order. Haha... Just don't regret it later!
Feng Yuhang spoke without caring, as if the threatening remarks from the big families in the provincial capital were nothing to him.
“Comrade Yixing, the problem you mentioned does exist, but can we try to work with the provincial government to properly handle this matter?
Although this may take some time, the impact will be relatively minimal. Let's remain calm and rational to find the best solution."
Nong Jingwen looked at Feng Yuxing and said with a wry smile.
As a core member of the leadership team of the Changming County Party Committee, Nong Jingwen's role and status determine that he has extremely high expectations and a sense of responsibility for local stability and harmonious development.
He knew that Feng Yuxing's operation was very likely to cause social unrest or turmoil, which could bring unpredictable negative impacts to Changming County;
For example, it could cause serious impact and damage to Changming County's social structure, economic development, and even people's livelihood. For the leadership team, maintaining the existing order and promoting social harmony is of vital importance.
Nong Jingwen showed deep worry and reluctance, and his words revealed a deep helplessness and unwillingness. Feng Yuxing could see that Nong Jingwen was not representing an individual voice, but the views of the majority of the Changming County team members.
They all wondered whether it was possible to adopt a more moderate and prudent approach to promote necessary reforms and development in order to avoid possible chaos and losses.
We hope that Feng Yuxing can re-examine its decisions, give more consideration to the actual situation and the interests of all parties, so as to achieve development goals that are in line with the general direction and can protect the interests of the people to the greatest extent.
"Comrade Jingwen, if this problem is solved in a gentle way, then it will no longer be a problem, but an 'endless' problem! The Bingxian County Council will allow the arrogance and domineering attitude of these big families to spread to all parts of the province;
Besides, even if we went to the city and provincial governments for help, they wouldn't necessarily offer a hand. Think about it, if they could handle this directly, this wouldn't be happening now! Do you really think they didn't know anything about this before? Their main strategy is to be cautious! . . .
Feng and Xing's words also reveal their disdain, their own difficulties, and their dissatisfaction with their superiors.
Nong Jingwen was unable to convince Feng Yuxing, so he could only sigh and leave.
Every minute that passes, it worries the spectators. Three days are the most difficult days for them.
After three days of intense waiting, the moment of announcement finally arrived. During this time, whether it was the provincial and municipal governments or the public who were aware of the situation, they all remained silent, as if drawn by an invisible force.
