Xiao Xie, I know that you will have to raise most of the money for building this new city, but politics and business are two completely different concepts.
In government agencies, there is no rule that whoever pays has the final say.
If you do this, do you still want your career?
No matter how urgent you are, you have to save face for other departments.
Otherwise, you will have a hard time.”
Xie Wan was a little surprised. She thought that after she had talked about so many pros and cons and analyzed them so thoroughly, Mayor Liu would support her.
Unexpectedly, he still opposed her opinion.
Seeing that Xie Wan seemed unconvinced, Mayor Liu smiled and said, “Let me give you an example, and you will understand the importance of involving municipal departments.
Do you need cement to build such a big new city?
Cement is a planned material.
You can build your own cement plant in An County, but if you don’t have a production plan, can you produce it?
Without a purchasing plan, it is possible that everything you produce will be transferred away. Can it be left for the construction of An County?
It would be very easy for the municipal authorities to block you.”
Xie Wan was dumbfounded.
It's not just cement. Building a new city requires planning for every brick and tile, electricity, water power, various materials, personnel, and every aspect. She is indeed controlled by others in every way.
Mayor Liu said: "Do you understand now?
I am not asking you to really delegate power to the city, but you have to use your wisdom and learn to share the credit with everyone so that things can be done smoothly.
You should take the initiative to establish friendly cooperation with municipal departments and coordinate the interests of all parties, so that you don’t end up doing all the work while others take all the credit.”
Xie Wan understood.
The old man Zhong Liqin's proposal was not entirely wrong, but his plan was to let Xie Wan do the work while he would take the credit.
Xie Wan quickly placed An County's proposal for site selection on Mayor Liu's desk and said, "Uncle Liu, thank you for teaching me this.
However, you must help me choose the site.
This is an important decision that will affect An County’s economic development for decades to come.”
Mayor Liu had just listened to Xie Wan's explanation and also believed that the balanced development of An County's east and west was very important. He nodded and said, "That's not a big problem, but your new city plan is the largest investment project in Nancheng this year, so it must be discussed by the Municipal Standing Committee.
I'll teach you a method. Ask the comrades from the Municipal Construction Bureau for help, invite them to visit An County, and treat them well.
Let the Municipal Construction Bureau endorse you.
Their director, I'll give you a heads up.
With the endorsement of the Municipal Construction Bureau, you can get the signature of the deputy mayor in charge, and then hand it over to me. After it passes the Standing Committee, I will figure out a solution.”
After hearing this, Xie Wan thanked him repeatedly.
After walking out of Mayor Liu's office, Xie Wan let out a long sigh. It's so difficult to get things done at the local level!
