Chapter 262 The Showdown at the Meeting 1
The next day, Li Dakang convened a meeting of the county government office.
At the meeting, Li Dakang announced that Jinshan County would build roads.
Last night, he thought about it carefully. It might be too difficult for him to do it alone, but he had Qi Tongwei with him.
Once the matter is settled, just let Qi Tongwei carry it out.
Given Qi Tongwei's abilities, road construction shouldn't be too difficult.
After all, his first thought was that to develop Jinshan County, the first thing to do was to build roads.
"County Chief Li, building roads is a good thing, but we don't have the money!"
Wang Dalu spoke first.
He knew that the first thing Li Dakang wanted to do after completing his research was to build roads.
However, Jinshan County is too poor and simply doesn't have the money to build roads.
Li Dakang's trip to Jingzhou was also to apply for funding.
"How does County Chief Li plan to build it? How will the funding be secured?"
Du Qiang was the second to speak.
Road repair is a rather general matter, and it's impossible to repair all of them at once. There must be a plan to repair the roads that need the most repair.
Another issue is funding; road construction requires funds, and the amount is quite substantial.
In the past two months, he has witnessed Li Dakang's domineering nature.
Li Dakang will arrange anything he wants to do without consulting you.
I just wonder how Qi Tongwei will react?
Over the past few days, Qi Tongwei has become quite amiable.
However, Qi Tongwei worked his way up from the agricultural technology station and made great achievements in agriculture in Biyun Town and Yunmeng Town of Yunmeng County, Yantai City, as well as in the agricultural sector under the jurisdiction of the Yunmeng County Government.
He must be a strong person.
He's just arrived and hasn't shown it yet.
Everyone wants to build roads; it would be a great achievement. But the problem is that Jinshan County doesn't have the money.
"I think we should prioritize repairing key sections of the road and improve the transportation conditions between the county and the city!"
Zhang Hongzhe said.
The road from the county town to the city is also bad, full of potholes, and every time you take a car, it's incredibly bumpy.
“I think it’s a bit too early to build roads now. Our county doesn’t have the money unless we can apply for funding from higher authorities.”
Hong Wenliang said that Jinshan's current problem is that it has no money, so it can't do anything it wants to do.
“I think we can first come up with a plan, and then take the plan to the city and province to apply for funding.”
Jiang Songjie said that they should first finalize the road construction plan, and then ask the higher authorities for funding.
“Road construction is a good thing. The transportation conditions in Jinshan County are really bad and urgently need to be changed.”
However, our county's fiscal revenue is quite tight, and we can't come up with the money.
Therefore, if repairs are needed, funding still needs to be applied for from above.
The road from the county town to the city is in terrible condition. I almost threw up my breakfast when I arrived, even though I was riding in a car from the municipal party committee's organization department.
If I were to take a bus, I reckon I'd throw up several times along the way.
Therefore, I think we should first look at the road from the county town to the city.
The roads in the county town are also in bad shape. I went out for a drive yesterday, and they were full of potholes.
After we finish repairing the road from the county seat to the city, we'll figure out how to repair the road in the county seat.
As for the roads from the county seat to the surrounding towns, I haven't seen them yet, so I won't comment!
Qi Tongwei said.
He supports Li Dakang's plan to build roads, but the funding needs to be obtained from higher authorities.
Who would ask for it? Of course, it would be Li Dakang. He was the former secretary of Zhao Lichun, the executive vice governor, and knew many leaders.
When Li Dakang talked about the road construction funds, Qi Tongwei suggested that Li Dakang ask the higher authorities for the money.
"I support building roads!"
Lang Maocai was the last to speak; as the director of the government office, he had to maintain consistency with the county head.
"Since everyone supports building the road, the decision to build the road has been made."
Let's discuss the funding for road construction.
Li Dakang made the final decision: "Forget about plans, let's get things settled first."
"County Chief Li, we first need to determine which road to repair first, and then how much funding is needed before we can discuss the funding issue!"
Qi Tongwei said.
They haven't even decided which road to build yet, and they're already discussing funding. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
Does Li Dakang intend to repair all the roads at once?
"Yes, County Chief Li!"
First, we need to determine which road to repair, and then decide whether to renovate the existing road or build a new one.
Then calculate the required funds.
If a new road is to be built, the standards need to be determined first, then a survey needs to be conducted to determine the route, and only then can the required funding be determined.
Then, funds need to be raised; only with funds can road construction begin.
Du Qiang said that transportation was under his jurisdiction, and he wanted to repair roads more than anyone else, because it was a real achievement.
But the problem is, you need money.
"The road connecting the county to the city needs to be repaired, as do the roads in the county seat and the roads connecting the county to the surrounding towns!"
Li Dakang said he wanted to repair all the roads in the county.
It might not have been possible before, but it is now possible.
Isn't Qi Tongwei very capable? Then let him take charge of this matter.
"County Chief Li is indeed worthy of coming from the provincial level; he has great courage!"
Since County Chief Li said all the roads would be repaired, he must have already secured the funding!
Qi Tongwei said.
He knew exactly what Li Dakang was up to; he wanted to trick him into taking on the task.
Qi Tongwei, aren't you very capable?
The road repair is entrusted to you. If you can't handle it, it just means your abilities are only so-so.
Since you're going to make a big deal out of this, then you'll have to figure out the funding for the road construction!
"I haven't solved the funding problem for road construction, but does that mean we won't build the road if we don't have the money?"
We can afford to wait, but can the hundreds of thousands of people in Jinshan County afford to wait?
Li Dakang said seriously.
Qi Tongwei didn't fall for it, which made him a little angry.
Shouldn't young people, full of vigor and ambition, try their best to express themselves?
By taking on the road construction, wouldn't he be able to prove himself?
“We didn’t say we wouldn’t build the road. Everyone wants to build the road, but the problem is that the county doesn’t have the money.”
There are many places in the county that need road repairs, but we can't repair all the roads at once. We can only choose the most important roads to repair first!
Moreover, as I mentioned before, the county doesn't have the funds for road construction, so we have to apply to higher authorities.
Among those present, the one who knows the leaders most is County Chief Li.
Let's determine the roads that need to be repaired first and make a budget. You go to the provincial government to ask Governor Zhao for some, and the others go to the city government to ask for some.
If the province gave it, the city will definitely give some too.
If we still don't have enough funds by then, we'll figure something out!
Qi Tongwei said.
His message was simple: as the county head, Li Dakang, you need to secure some funding.
They should set an example.
When the others saw Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei arguing, they all fell silent.
"The province doesn't have the money, so we have to find a way ourselves."
Deputy County Head Qi personally created two townships with annual revenue exceeding 100 million yuan, and in seven months, he generated over 100 million yuan in foreign exchange. He must have a way of making money.
The road construction funding is now in your hands!
Li Dakang made the arrangements directly.
I am the county head, the top leader of the county government. You, Qi Tongwei, are only the executive deputy county head, the second-in-command of the county government. You must obey my orders.
"I'm sorry, County Chief Li, I don't have the ability to solve the problem of funding for road repairs for all the roads in the county."
Even for the road from the county to the city, I can only find a way to solve part of the funding problem for road construction.
Biyun Town's status as a town with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan was achieved after more than half a year of preparation, with the support of the county and the efforts of all cadres in Biyun Town for more than a year.
Yunmeng Town's status as a town with over 100 million yuan in revenue was achieved through the leadership of the town's leaders, the joint efforts of all cadres, and increased support from the county.
At that time, as the Party Secretary, I set an example for the town leaders, and then the town leaders followed suit and set an example for the cadres.
This ignited the enthusiasm of all the cadres.
Qi Tongwei immediately refused, saying he couldn't accept such a big task.
At the same time, he was mocked for lacking the responsibility of a leader and only knowing how to pass things on to others.
