Chapter 675 Public servants are not sealed by themselves
.
The reason why Corning did not clearly respond to the invitation from Taiwan was that it was busy with business, but the more important reason was that the Americans postponed the transaction of the cross Blackhawk helicopters with Corning on the grounds that the manufacturer could not arrange production plans, but actively suggested that Corning send fifty to sixty people to Taiwan for training in driving technology and maintenance technologies.
At this time, the Americans were in contact with the Taiwan military. Before receiving a clear reply, Corning would not make a clear statement. He knew deeply that this visit was not just a simple economic and trade exchange between each other. Myanmar's awakening of the 50 million population market is a reason, but this market with weak purchasing power is far from important than political factors. Even if Corning's visit was only a limited contact, it would make Taiwanese politicians who suffered diplomatic frustration ecstatic and promote it.
Kang Ning, who understood the various interests, was not in a hurry at all, and he would do whatever he should do.
In the next two weeks, Corning, Pan Shaoqun, Guo Peng and the heads of various decision-making departments conducted inspections on industrial and commercial enterprises in the entire SAR. Every time they went, Corning would inquire about the progress of the union construction of the enterprises in detail, listen to the opinions of workers and technicians, encourage enterprises to set up their own technological innovation departments, and instruct all departments to solve problems that the factory enterprises themselves cannot solve as much as possible.
In Menglexi City, where the processing industry is developed, Corning and others personally tasted instant noodles, pho, candy biscuits and special military foods produced by the grain and oil food company. They praised the edible blended oil carefully prepared with natural palm oil, peanut oil and corn oil, and encouraged workers to make the factory stronger and bigger. They also proposed to achieve the goal of self-sufficiency of convenience food and cooking oil within two years.
This requirement is definitely not Corning's mind for a moment. It is an important project involving many aspects: at present, including the county and town governments, which have increased industrial support for farmers, and promoted the planting of crops such as corn, peanuts, sesame and soybeans that have achieved excellent planting results according to local conditions, indirectly stimulating and driving the rapid development of the feed industry and animal husbandry industry. The above many complex problems involving a wide range of areas, Corning only used a simple example to let everyone understand the importance of the local area--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SAR TV station and three newspapers reported the inspection and investigation process of Corning and others throughout the process, among which Corning and his team reported the most popular report of the East Myanmar automobile factory. This live broadcast on TV triggered an interesting story: When people were very proud of seeing the brand new cars of the "Silver Star" brand series they produced, Corning personally drove a military off-road vehicle named "Wild Wolf" to make a series of wonderful stunt movements, which won warm applause from the workers and technicians on the scene. Corning parked the car and smiled and drilled out the car with smooth lines and tough shapes, but it was not time to express his opinion. A surprising scene appeared-----
A worker in his forties wearing dark blue work clothes squeezed to Corning from the crowd and asked Corning loudly in Mandarin with a strong Sichuan flavor: "Chairman Kang, are you officials really concerned about the sufferings of our workers?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and were at a loss. Qu Mu, director of the Menglei County Civil Affairs Bureau, quickly ordered the camera reporters on the scene to stop shooting. Kang Ning shook his hand when he saw it and said loudly: "Xiaoqu, you ask the reporter to continue shooting. We have no worries in our hearts. What can we not let the public understand? Come bring a stool for this master... Brother Shizhen, Shaoqu and everyone, sit down and listen carefully to see if there are really some things in our work that are not in place."
Qu Mu, a 28-year-old young director, honestly brought a folding chair to the stubble-faced worker master. The straightforward master sat down carelessly. Facing two cameras and hundreds of onlookers, he was not afraid or guilty at all. After seeing seven or eight officials including Kang Ning sit down one after another, he slightly tidied up his thoughts and said with a calm face: "My name is Huang Tieliang. I was entrusted by hundreds of neighbors in the Workers' Community Neighborhood Committee. I asked Chairman Kang for an explanation."
"Please tell me!" Corning nodded politely.
Huang Tieliang said without hesitation: "There are more than 320 households in our community, most of whom are employees of major public enterprises in Menglei. Most of us have been here for two years. They have also received the official ID card and passport of the Fourth Special Zone. We are happy and proud of every little progress in the Special Zone. According to Chairman Kang, there is also a contribution from us. But..." Huang Tieliang paused for a moment, but saw Kang Ning's encouraging eyes and continued: "We also know that the officials of the Special Zone are the cleanest and most kind officials we have ever seen, but there are also many regulations that seem out of place. For this reason, we have made more than a year of opinions and visited many departments. But until the end of this congress, we did not see any government statement, so I had to put it on such an occasion."
"Ah!? Is there such a thing? What opinions have been mentioned for more than a year but have not been resolved? Did our officials at all levels ignore it?" Corning seemed very surprised at this.
Huang Tieliang sighed helplessly: "It's not complicated, it's just a problem of prohibiting residents from having motorcycles for transportation! Chairman Kang, you also know that our Menglei area is getting bigger and bigger. The various factories and residential communities built in the past two years are almost connected to Panlong City, which is more than 20 kilometers away. The population number published in the newspaper is 110,000, but we all know that it's more than this number after turning over. Every day, when it's time to commute, the buses on all routes are crowded. Sometimes I can't get home for more than two hours. This is enough to show that our public transportation can no longer solve the problem of workers going to commute. Many workers complain about why the government does not allow private motorcycles? I am the same. If there is a motorcycle for transportation, I will always
It only takes forty minutes to get to get off work in the sky, but now... Chairman Kang and county government officials explained that this is because of the fuel tightness in the Special Administrative Region and the congestion of roads, but now each county has its own oil depot. The number of gas stations run by the security forces is also increasing, and the roads in the entire Special Administrative Region have been built and opened to traffic one after another, with wide and flat roads even better than many big cities in the mainland. Why don’t we ordinary people have their own motorcycles? Do you want everyone to buy cars? This is unrealistic! People like me who earn about 2,000 yuan a month account for the majority of the population of the Special Administrative Region. To buy a car, you have to save at least five or six years, and you have to have a dual-employed family. Therefore, it is inconvenient to ban motorcycles. It is also unreasonable."
Corning fell silent for a moment. At the People's Congress held earlier, this opinion was also sharp, and the government's upper-level officials also argued endlessly. Corning himself was a member of the policy of banning motorcycles from being on the road. Now, after hearing Huang Tieliang's words, his position gradually loosened, feeling that he had not really considered the interests and actual needs of ordinary people. This matter has not been concluded for a long time. It is very likely that it was an influence because of his tough stance, which made many brothers blindly agree with their opinions, causing this issue to be delayed for a long time. The people made considerable sacrifices for this. Therefore, after repeated thinking, Corning felt uneasy and ashamed at this time.
The scene was silent, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for Corning's answer.
Corning blushed and said with shame: "Brother Huang, it seems that I have made a subjective mistake on this issue. I did not fully consider everyone's actual difficulties, nor did I expect that the problem of traffic congestion and insufficient capacity would be highlighted so quickly. Originally, the reason why our Special Administrative Region established a ban on motorcycles. The fuel tightness and the road traffic network were not yet perfected was a big problem, but the most fundamental reason was that I do not want our Fourth Special Administrative Region to have motorcycle congestion and air pollution like Hanoi, Vietnam. Now it seems that this hard regulation is too advanced. Before our public transportation network cannot solve the problem of people's travel, we really need to deal with it flexibly... Here, I will give you
I apologize and apologize to the people who have caused many inconveniences due to this regulation! However... Brother Huang, you should know that this problem is not enough for me to agree alone, and it must be handed over to the newly established parliament for voting. I can tell you clearly that when the vote is over, I will stand against the ban on motorcycles." Huang Tieliang laughed happily after hearing this: "Chairman Kang, thank you! As long as you support me, I believe that the bill will be passed soon, haha... However, the next formal meeting of the parliament will not be held until early July. After it is passed, the relevant legal system will be formulated. I don't know when it will be delayed. Our travel difficulties cannot be solved as soon as possible!"
Corning smiled: "This is an important issue that needs to be solved urgently. For this reason, I will use the special rights granted by the People's Committee and immediately request the Parliament to hold a special meeting for this. If the Parliament vote is passed, the Legislative Council will work with the traffic management department to study it carefully and come up with a set of methods that suit our local reality within two weeks, and strive to announce and implement it within one month. What do you think?"
"That's great!" Huang Tieliang stood up excitedly, stretched out his hands to Kangning, held Corning's outstretched hand tightly, and said emotionally:
"Chairman Kang, I was completely convinced today! Last night I bet with my wife that even if I see you, I may not be able to solve this problem, because you officials and masters all have their own special cars, but my wife said that as long as you tell you the actual situation, she is willing to massage my back for a month if it doesn't work... Now it seems that my wife is more knowledgeable than me."
The onlookers laughed and Corning whispered: "Brother Huang, I have a question. If our parliament passes the revocation of the ban on motorcycles, the motorcycles will have to be imported from the mainland, and the various expenses will be very high. Tell me, does our factory have the ability to independently develop and produce several motorcycles suitable for use in Myanmar before the end of this year?"
Huang Tieliang's eyes lit up: "Apart from motorcycle engines, the other parts are very simple. Our second branch can produce the parts and standard fasteners for motorcycles by themselves. Our equipment is much more advanced than domestic manufacturers. If we introduce engines from my hometown Chongqing, it will definitely be possible in half a year! I used to do motorcycles, haha... If this project is done, maybe we can still occupy a lot of Myanmar markets. Last time I visited Mandalay with the factory's technical team, I found that the streets were full of broken Eastern European motorcycles. I heard that there are many used motorcycles smuggled from Thailand, and the price is not low. Used cars that have been running tens of thousands of kilometers are almost twice as expensive as new cars in China."
Corning happily turned to Guo Peng: "God of Wealth, can you allocate a special amount to the automobile factory to build a motorcycle branch?"
Guo Peng thought about it and replied calmly: "This must be decided after we set up a special team to conduct sufficient investigation and research. Before that, even if I have money, I would not dare to invest a little, so I would make a mistake."
In the surprise gaze of everyone, Kang Ning burst into laughter and turned to Huang Tieliang and said, "Brother Huang, have you seen me do my best? Whether this matter is done or not has to be done by your factory. Everything has to be done in accordance with legal procedures. No one can make a decision by patting his forehead and chest, haha!"
"Chairman Kang... I moved here because of a government like you who serves the people wholeheartedly. You are the real public servants of the people. I... I heard that when our Menglei County Government was first built, the four words "Public servants of the people were written on the lintel. Later, you ordered it to be taken away. Is this a matter?" Huang Tieliang asked embarrassedly.
Corning nodded: "If you have this, please listen to my reasons! I have always believed that the glorious title of public servant of the people is not something that can be enthroned by any government, but is shouted out by the people from the bottom of their hearts. Instead of hanging high above the yamen, it is better to keep these four words in mind and always think about the interests of the people. Many things in form are not allowed, and we cannot learn bad things from some degenerate people."
