Gu Xiaomei also felt a little strange when she received a call from the municipal government office. The provincial people's hospital only made the suicide of laid-off female workers last night. Early this morning, the provincial government urgently notified all cities to improve the living security subsidy standard for laid-off workers. Even if she knew that there was a certain connection between the two, she felt that such efficiency was too strange in China, Moreover, Zhang Zhixing's son also seems to have an unclear relationship with this matter.

Gu Xiaomei, the Deputy Secretary General of the government, is responsible for the connection between the municipal government and the civil affairs department. Although Gu Xiaomei didn't return to Xinwu until tomorrow according to the schedule, such a big thing suddenly appeared. Of course, Gu Xiaomei can't wait until tomorrow. After Chen Ning finished the inspection, we found a restaurant in Xuefu lane and had dinner together, so we took a car to Xinwu.

After Zhang Zhixing became mayor, one of the first things he did was to raise the standard of living security subsidy for laid-off workers to 110 yuan, which always had to be a little farther from Jianye, otherwise Jianye would be ugly. The price level of Xinwu was much lower than Jianye. With this standard of living security subsidy, plus subsidies for medical treatment and children's education, Laid off workers can barely maintain the most basic standard of living.

Zhang Zhihang has served as vice mayor of new Wuhu for years. He has done some practical work, especially the rise of new Baijiu liquor industry and tourism industry. He has opened up two extremely important sources of revenue for local fiscal revenue. Besides the direct beneficiaries of these two industries, the people who eat the financial meal are also benefited directly. At least, there is no more than the arrears of wages. The situation of forcing donations for major and minor events is much less than before. Therefore, Zhang Zhixing has risen rapidly and is supported by local grass-roots cadres as mayor.

This is the case these days. Whoever you benefit will support you.

However, for Zhang Ke's achievements as vice mayor, the number of people directly benefiting from Xinwu is still quite limited, and some policies promoting the people's livelihood after he served as mayor have won wide support for Zhang Zhixing in Xinwu.

In the first half of 1999, the local fiscal revenue of Xinwu reached 500 million yuan, and the per capita level is in the middle among the 13 prefecture level cities in Donghai province. However, the living security standard for laid-off workers is actually higher than that of Jianye and Huishan according to the price level.

The economic development of Huishan has always been the best in the province. In the past two or three years, the economic development of Jianye has opened up a new pattern. The local fiscal revenue has increased significantly on the original basis, has the trend of catching up with and surpassing Huishan, and has the economic basis of greatly improving the living security standards of laid-off workers, but the situation of Xinwu is different.

Besides Baijiu and Baijiu, the city's industrial foundation is still weak. The three hundred thousand urban population has almost thirty thousand laid-off workers in recent two years. Fortunately, the rise of liquor industry and tourism industry has created a large number of jobs.

In addition to 30000 laid-off workers in Xinwu City, Xinwu governs five counties, and there are almost 20000 laid-off workers. The financial situation of Xinwu county is worse. This time, the living security standard of laid-off workers is improved, and the city still needs to give some subsidies to the county.

This time, according to the highest standard stipulated by the provincial government, the living security subsidy for laid-off workers in Xinwu will be increased to 165 yuan per month. Coupled with the improvement of other relief standards, Gu Xiaomei roughly estimated that the municipal government will spend about 40 million extra every year.

The local fiscal revenue of Xinwu is estimated to exceed one billion this year, which is a very good achievement. It looks like a lot of one billion yuan. However, the cake of one billion yuan was distributed to all departments as early as the end of last year when the expenditure budget was prepared, and the funds that the municipal government can flexibly grasp on hand are less than one billion yuan. In the second half of this year, due to the improvement of the subsidy standard for laid-off workers, At least take out $20 million.

The municipal government wants to do a lot of things. It has to spend an additional 20 million at once. It's really a little caught.

Gu Xiaomei hurried back to the municipal government before 2:00 p.m. and was in the process of listing. The government called various government departments to meet to discuss raising the subsidy standard for laid-off workers.

It's no use just convening the Civil Affairs Department, and the civil affairs department can't add 20 million out of thin air. 20 million still needs to be solved by all departments together.

Gu Xiaomei urgently took the notebook and went into the meeting room to attend the meeting. As she expected, there was a cry of pain at the meeting.

Zhang Zhixing sat at the conference table and clapped: "It's better for the municipal government to be tight than for the laid-off workers to be tight. 143 yuan, we'll talk about it. You can't die of hunger. Another 22 yuan will enable the laid-off workers to eat a few meat meals a month. It's not luxury. Besides, the municipal government is tight. I'm not forcing you to take money out of your pocket. Why Everyone has a bitter gourd face? "

Zhang Zhixing said so, we can only smile, but we are not in a hurry to make a statement.

"I'll take the lead," Zhang Zhixing continued, "The mayor's office expenses shall be deducted by 20% first, and how much shall be deducted by each department. You think, no matter what mandatory standards are set by the dictatorship, I'll gather up the money I can make up first. I'll go out to make fortune - I still want to remind you that the key is to do a good job in economic development, help laid-off workers find new jobs, and work in the labor market and labor export. This year, I must make achievements and spend two years In three years, 30000 laid-off workers will be eliminated, and we don't have to sit here and frown... "

Gu Xiaomei was worried when she heard that the mayor's office expenses had to be deducted by 20%. However, she thought it would be a great happiness for 300000 residents of Xinwu and 3 million people in suburban counties to have such a mayor. Unfortunately, such a mayor is rare in China. If there is anything to be dissatisfied with or worthy of corruption, it is that Zhang Zhixing's son is a little too disrespectful, Zhang Ke's deeds will seriously affect Zhang Zhixing's good reputation.

Everyone has confidence in Zhang Zhixing's means of developing the economy. They think that they will tighten up temporarily. They can relax after a period of time. They have also complained. If it's useless, there's really no need to continue to cry for poverty. Everyone laughs. You report 5% and I report 6% of the self cutting funds.

Gu Xiaomei knows that you have to admit when you report. As soon as the minutes of the meeting are issued and you sign, the municipal government directly informs the Finance Bureau to deduct money. The contribution of tightening office funds is still limited and can not make up for the gap of 20 million. However, 20 million is not an astronomical figure. As long as you are willing to solve it, it can still be solved.

At the end of the meeting, after Gu Xiaomei found out the situation, she had to contact the Civil Affairs Bureau to draw up the detailed rules for improving the subsidy standard. Zhang Zhixing also asked his secretary Cheng Yudong to stare here and hope to draw up the detailed rules as soon as possible. The subsidy for laid-off workers is usually paid on the 8th of each month. If she works faster, she can benefit laid-off workers this month.

In Gu Xiaomei's office, Cheng Yudong joked: "When can Xinwu be like Haizhou? There are nearly one million residents in Haizhou, and the total number of laid-off workers is no more than 10000. We are in a mess here. Song Peiming, mayor of Haizhou, calls the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau to let the Civil Affairs Bureau handle the problem by itself... Alas, it looks like this. We have to work overtime tonight."

Gu Xiaomei smiled and said, "if you don't have a little level, can Tang Xueqian run to Jiangnan province to be the executive vice governor? Don't complain, endure it, and the bitter days will soon pass."

Since 1994, Haizhou municipal Party committee and government have taken the initiative to adjust the industrial structure with Haizhou holding as the main force. The development of emerging industries such as electronics and papermaking led by Jinhu has also taken a long time. In particular, the development of Haizhou electronic industry has attracted the envy of the outside world. Coupled with the urban development of Shanghai, a large number of employment opportunities have been created, and the impact of industrial structure adjustment The laid-off workers are almost digested internally. There are less than 10000 laid-off workers left. Some are just laid-off workers who have not had time to make arrangements, some are people with poor reemployment skills or who have lost their ability to work before reaching retirement age. However, the social insurance system is not perfect and can only be included in the statistics of laid-off workers for the time being.

Although China is secretive about the proportion of laid-off workers in the total urban population, as a middle-level cadre within the system and a middle-level cadre of the municipal government who interfaces with civil affairs work, Gu Xiaomei knows that the actual unemployment rate in many cities in China is more than 10%, and it is a great achievement to control it at about 4-5% in economically developed cities such as Jianye and Huishan, while Haizhou can control it at 1% Such achievements are absolutely dazzling when the current industrial adjustment and the problem of laid-off workers perplex the local and central governments. Even if there is no other background, it is simply unreasonable for Haizhou officials not to rise.

New Baijiu city is also blessed with the support of two new industries, such as liquor and tourism, otherwise it will be even worse. Even today, everyone complain incessantly, but the heart is optimistic.

At present, the Baijiu industry has entered a stable period, but the tourism industry still has great potential for development, and the employment population of tourism and related services industry is quite large.

"Mayor Zhang should also organize everyone to learn advanced experience in Haizhou," Cheng Yudong said with a smile. "At least Haizhou is also Mayor Zhang's Longxing place."

"You want to take the opportunity to go to Haizhou for autumn..." Zhang Zhixing opened the door and came in. He heard Cheng Yudong joking with Gu Xiaomei in the office. He also jokingly inserted a sentence and asked Gu Xiaomei about her communication with the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Gu Xiaomei gave a brief report on the situation, and Zhang Zhixing left after understanding the situation.

Cheng Yudong asked Gu Xiaomei, "there's still a gap of $45 million. Mayor Zhang also said that he went out for alms. Do you still go to century Jinhu hotel for alms?"
