Chapter 523 [Big Mouth] (Part 2)
The three of them walked side by side towards the office building of the Sports Committee and Zhang Yang said, "Director Li, you can count all the outstanding athletes from our Nancy hometowns, including provincial teams, national teams, domestic and foreign countries."
Li Hongyang was a little confused when he heard this and said in surprise: "If you want statistics from abroad? Do Chinese Americans count?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Of course, as long as you are from Nancy, it's all!"
Zang Jintang felt more and more contempt for the new director of the Sports Committee. He believed that Zhang Yang was an outsider and a completely outspoken layman. He really didn't know what the leader was thinking. He would send this outsider to take charge of the leadership work, and he was just an outsider to command an insider. On the first day of taking office, he proposed the amazing goal of being the first in the provincial sports conference, both the gold medal list and the medal list. He didn't know how many mischiefs he would make in his future work. Zang Jintang had already foreseen that the Nancy sports industry would soon become a laughing stock in the province.
Zhang Yang could feel their doubts about him. It was no wonder that his political achievements had long belonged to Jiangcheng. This is Nancy. For him, the Sports Committee is also a brand new field. In this field, he did not have any outstanding achievements. No matter how capable or confident he is, it is normal for others to know, even if others doubt it.
Zhang Yang returned to his office and made a cup of tea by himself. At this time, he couldn't help but think about the benefits of having a secretary. When he was in Fengze, Fu Changzheng did these things for him. When he left, he promised to transfer Fu Changzheng to be his secretary. After the stability, he had to transfer a few capable assistants to come. When Zhang Yang was thinking about it, Xiao Tiaomin walked in.
She held a floppy disk in her hand and said as soon as she came in, "Director Zhang, Director Li asked me to send you information."
Zhang Yang said: "What information?"
Xiao Tiaomin said: "Don't you want the information of an excellent athlete from Nancy? We have done this in the past, and they are all on the floppy disk."
Zhang Yang then remembered what he had just told Li Hongyang. He smiled and reached out to turn on the computer. Xiao Tiaomin handed the floppy disk to him. After Zhang Yang entered the system, he expanded the information on the floppy disk. It was full of information about outstanding athletes and coaches in Nancy. The list was very long and detailed.
Xiao Tiaomin moved a folding chair and sat down beside Zhang Yang, and said softly: "Director Zhang, the outstanding athletes from Nanxi are basically recorded on it, and there are still several outstanding athletes from abroad that are not listed."
Zhang Yang said: "Replenish those foreign athletes."
Xiao Tiaomin said in surprise: "Director Zhang, do you really want to send invitations to these athletes?"
Zhang Yang said: "Why not? They are all from Nancy. Of course, the Provincial Games have an obligation to bring glory to Nancy!"
Xiao Tiaomin said: "Not to mention foreign athletes, even if we are born and raised in Nancy, who will take the Provincial Games seriously when we really come to the national team? Take the last Provincial Games for example. We invited all the outstanding athletes in China, but less than one-third of the people who came back to participate in the competition in the end. Not only are we Nancy, but other cities are the same. These national athletes can't take care of the world competitions in normal times, who still has time to participate in the Provincial Games?" She added: "According to the rules of the conference, even if foreign athletes are willing to come, they do not meet the conditions for participation. The Provincial Games have requirements for their hometowns."
Zhang Yang said: "As Nancy people, it is their duty to bring glory to Nancy. Don't worry about so much. Do a good job in statistics and send out all the invitation letters."
Xiao Tiaomin shook her head helplessly, thinking that she was afraid that she would waste a lot of paper this time.
Zhang Yang said: "Is that person Yang Guangzhi very awesome?"
Xiao Tiaomin also heard that Zhang Yang drove Yang Guangzhi out at the mobilization meeting just now. Yang Guangzhi came forward to invite his disciples from the national team and the provincial team in the last Provincial Games. This time, Zhang Yang was so embarrassed that Yang Guangzhi would not be able to do his best. She nodded and said, "Coach Yang is a star coach in our sports industry in Nanxi City. He has discovered and trained many national-level sports athletes. Currently, there are three of his students in the national sports team."
Zhang Yang said: "It's not all his credit. The world champion was brought out by the national coach. He can be considered an enlightenment teacher at most."
Xiao Tiaomin smiled and didn't say anything.
Zhang Yang said: "You arrange to gather Nancy's best coaches and athletes who are most promising to win the gold medal. I'll hold a meeting for them this week."
Xiao Tiaomin said, "No problem!" She remembered something and asked carefully: "Director Zhang, I heard that you said at the meeting that you would like to reward athletes and coaches who can win cards at the Provincial Games?"
Zhang Yang said: "Yes, if you don't give them some excitement, how can they train well?"
Xiao Tiaomin said: "But the city has the final say on how much it is. Our Sports Committee doesn't have much money now..."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "What I said is the water that was poured out and will not be collected. I have a way to solve the bonus. The city has the final say, that is to ask them for money. If they don't ask them for money, they will not care about this matter. By the way, I just heard several coaches reacting to the problem of backward training facilities in the training venues. What's going on?"
Xiao Tiaomin hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Zhang, you have not visited the major venues of our sports center yet. The facilities are quite backward. The Sports Committee has also reported many times, saying that it is necessary to train equipment, but the city has not had any money to allocate it."
"Where is the money? The provincial games will be held next year. Is there no funding in the city?"
Xiao Tiaomin said: "The city has repeatedly emphasized the need to accelerate the construction of the new sports center. Most of the financial allocations for sports are used there. Our Sports Commission only has the right to recommend and have no command authority in terms of construction. We are not responsible for the specific project. We also proposed to build a training hall first, but the focus is on the new stadium. According to the current situation, even the construction progress of the new stadium is not ideal. Until now, the new stadium has not been capped, so the project party has no energy to build a training hall."
Zhang Yang said: "I went back and found the city to report. If you want to achieve good results, it would not work without strong financial support."
Xiao Tiaomin said: "Director Zhang, I think it is best for you to not let their expectations be too high in front of the city leaders." She was hinting that Zhang Yang should not express his bold words of winning the gold medal list and the first place in the medal list. If the city leaders take it seriously, not only Zhang Yang, but their entire sports committee will be in trouble.
Zhang Yang said: "I know it in my heart!"
Xiao Tiaomin looked at him with confidence, but she was quite confused and knew what she knew. She didn't even know what she was doing when she saw that the young director of the Sports Committee was doing!
After Xiao Tiaomin left, Zhang Yang suddenly had an idea. He drove to the construction site of the new sports center. He wanted to see what the progress is now. The construction site of the new sports center is located in the eastern suburbs of Nanxi City, next to National Highway 206. On the road leading to the construction site, there were dust everywhere. Zhang Yang drove the pickup truck to the gate of the construction site. The guards in front of the door did not ask at all. Zhang Daguan was able to drive in the pickup truck and enter the construction site. The first thing he saw was the huge building standing in the center of the construction site. The new stadium in Nanxi City. Judging from the external construction of the stadium, it should not be capped. There were not too many workers working on the site. Many workers sat in groups of three or five on the open space, some smoking, some playing poker, and more lazy than those who worked.
Official Zhang stopped the car and walked towards several migrant workers squatting there and smoking. He took out a box of clouds and threw them over. When several migrant workers saw that they were so polite, they all had a happy face. Even ordinary people knew that pies would not fall from the sky. The older migrant worker said, "Boss, what's the matter?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "When will this stadium be built?"
Before the old migrant worker could answer, the young man around him said, "Build a stadium, our salary has been owed for three months, and the drawings are changed every day. I think the city has no money. If we don't give us wages, we will all go to the municipal government to ask for money."
After all, older migrant workers thought more about it. They pounded the young man with their elbows and smiled at Zhang Yang: "What does the boss do?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said nothing. He walked forward a few steps and looked around the stadium. There was less than a year before the opening of the Provincial Games. If the project progress was not fast enough, I'm afraid it would really not be able to be built by then.
Zhang Yang stood at the construction site and called Liang Chenglong.
When Liang Chenglong heard that he was at the construction site of the new sports center, he couldn't help laughing. Zhang Yang kept saying that he was low-key yesterday and wanted to cultivate his mind and character. Today, he was reborn. What did he do when he went to the new sports center for no reason? Liang Chenglong had already speculated that Zhang Yang was planning to raise trouble.
Zhang Yang said: "Jackie Chan, although I am an amateur, I can see that there are big problems with the progress of this project. It is almost the end of the year. The main venue of the new sports center has not been capped yet. The workers who play cards and chat about cards and chat about it, saying that the construction party owes them their wages, and the training hall has not been built."
Liang Chenglong said: "Zhang Yang, you just came to Nancy, don't get involved in the new sports center. The project contracted by Xu Guangli, his brother is Xu Guangran, the municipal party committee member ***. Don't worry, even if you take off your pants to cover your face, the sports center will be completed in the end. As for whether the quality and scale of the project will shrink, God knows."
Zhang Yang said: "It's so fucking annoying. Our Sports Committee is not qualified to participate in the establishment of a new sports center. This is so fucking nonsense."
Liang Chenglong said: "I'm angry again, right? Didn't you tell me yesterday that you want to live a life?"
Zhang Yang said: "I am the director of the Sports Committee. If the Provincial Games are ruined, I will take responsibility. When leaders have good things, they may not think of me, but when they need to take responsibility, they will take the lead."
Liang Chenglong laughed: "It's so fast to get into the character, it's not easy, it's not easy."
Zhang Yang cursed: "You boy don't say sarcastic words. Are you not an expert in construction? Give me a suggestion!"
Liang Chenglong said: "Everyone can see the problem in this regard. My advice to you is to use the planning map to find Xia Boda. It would be best if he is willing to come forward. If he is unwilling to come forward, you will make other plans. In short, you cannot go directly to Xu Guangran for this matter."
At the regular meeting that afternoon, Zhang Yang met with the main staff of the Sports Committee. Zhang Yang, Zang Jintang, Li Hongyang, Liu Gang, Cui Guozhu, and Duan Jianzhong, all of them had met Zhang Yang. Most of the cadres in other departments met for the first time. Zhang Yang had a good memory. Basically, you can remember the other party’s name by listening to Xiao Tiaomin’s introduction. Liu Wenyuan, the head of the Finance Section, needs to remember it. Financial work is very important for any unit.
Zhang Yang didn't say much at the regular meeting in the afternoon, but just smiled and introduced himself to everyone. In the eyes of Zang Jintang and Li Hongyang, Zhang Yang probably realized that too much would lead to mistakes. He talked loudly at the morning meeting, and now he has initially felt the feeling of being trapped in his own cocoon.
After the meeting, Zhang Yang called Liu Wenyuan to his office, and he wanted to understand the financial situation of the Sports Committee.
Liu Wenyuan was prepared for this. She said very skillfully that because Zhou Danian, director of the Sports Committee, suddenly fell ill, many accounts are being sorted out now, and there are many accounts problems. *** has sent someone to follow up and it will take some time to sort them out.
Zhang Yang had heard of Zhou Dainian's suspected embezzlement of ***, and this matter was not convenient to ask Liu Wenyuan directly. After consideration, Zhang Yang decided to temporarily suppress these issues and follow Liang Chenglong's advice. Everything would be done after asking Xia Boda.
It is not difficult to find the planning map of the new sports center in the Sports Commission. Even if the Sports Commission did not intervene in the specific construction of the new sports center, Zhang Yang looked at this drawing and remembered the situation he saw at the construction site today. It was undoubtedly far from the completion of the planning. When he was in Jiangcheng, he often heard about how rich Nancy was and how prosperous Nancy was. But now it seems that Nancy is also short of money, deep water ports are short of money, and the new sports center is short of money. It is hard to cook without rice. Although our country is not a money society, it is difficult to move forward without the word "money". This is reality. No matter how beautiful the blueprint is and how ambitious the ideal is, we have to bow our heads in the face of reality.
Zhang Yang always has a straightforward work experience, and procrastination is definitely not his style. After the regular meeting that day, he was going to go to the municipal government. Before going, he called Xia Boda. Xia Boda asked him to go to the office at 4:30, and Xia Boda had to hold a standing committee meeting before.
There are two main problems that are plaguing the leaders of Nancy City. One is the follow-up investment problem of Deepwater Port, and the other is the progress of the project of the new stadium. These two major projects are all about Nancy. If there is a problem, they will be very bad in front of provincial leaders.
Chen Hao, the newly elected member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Standing Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, did not deliberately make this look full of worries. In fact, he was so worried that he left the heavy burden of Deepwater Port to him. He could not bear it. When Deepwater Port did not have financial problems, Chen Hao envied Chang Lingkong's seat and fantasized that he could sit on it and replace it. But now is different from the past. If Deepwater Port is well done, it is a political achievement, but if it is not done well, it is a huge responsibility.
If the funding problem cannot be resolved for a long time, he will be the first to bear the responsibility. Chen Hao even hopes that he will not be the executive vice mayor. In fact, even if he serves as the executive vice mayor, the burden of Shenshui Port should not be on him. However, Xu Guangran does not want Xia Boda to get involved. Xu Guangran will not give such great achievements to Xia Boda. The greater the political achievements, the greater the risks. Chen Hao has obviously lost weight in the past two days. If this pressure continues, he is worried that he will collapse sooner or later.
Chen Hao said: "We are actively contacting Singapore Xingyue Group. Because there have been some changes in their company, the specific investment plan will not be released until next month. We need to be more patient with this. As for Mr. He Changan, we cannot contact him. According to his company, he is currently on vacation in Africa and he doesn't know when he will come back."
Xu Guangran was a little angry: "Vacation? How can a businessman be so irresponsible? He wanted to invest in it at the time, but now when he needed funds, he hid. He could take a vacation, but our deep water port project could not be waited!" He looked at Xia Boda: "Lao Xia, what does the province say?"
Shaberda said: "It's not clear yet. Judging from the current situation, the financial support we have won't be too strong."
Xu Guangran nodded, and his topic came to the Provincial Games: "The Provincial Games will be held next year. Now the main sports venue of the new sports center has not been topped off yet, and the progress is seriously lagging behind. The municipal finance should give priority to this area. After all, the Provincial Games is the honor of all the people of Nancy. We must earn this face!"
Xia Boda sneered in his heart. Xu Guangran's younger brother Xu Guangli, the one who contracted the new sports center project, was Xu Guangli, who gave a lot of money in the city, but the progress was still so slow. We should look for the reason from the builder. Didn't Xu Guangran mention this matter at the Standing Committee?
Li Peiyuan, the Nancy Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, said: "There are many problems in the progress of the sports center project. The Nancy Municipal Sports Committee should bear considerable responsibilities. According to the current situation we have learned, Comrade Zhou Dainian illegally misappropriated the *** during his tenure. The management of various departments of the Sports Committee was chaotic and their work efficiency was inefficient. The departments of each department shirking responsibility for each other, which seriously affected the construction of the new sports center."
The Standing Committee members present knew that Zhou Dainian misappropriated the ***, but now Zhou Dainian is about to die, and the amount of embezzlement is not large. After being discovered by the organization, Zhou Dainian has already filled the hole. This is also the reason why he has no double regulations. Li Peiyuan was a little unkind enough to blame the progress of the new sports center project on the Sports Commission. As everyone knows, at the beginning of the construction of the new sports center, Xu Guangran, the Municipal Party Committee, proposed to openly bid for the public and have clear responsibilities. The Sports Commission only has the power to participate in the opinions and does not have the power to command the project. Now that the project progress is problematic, he put the hat on the Sports Commission. The Sports Commission is undoubtedly very unfair. But then he thought that Zhou Dainian was about to die anyway, and he happened to have embezzled the *** again, and even if he gave him one more responsibility, it would not be a big deal.
Xia Boda understood the mystery. Li Peiyuan and Xu Guangran had a good relationship, and his words were definitely not aimless.
Liang Song, director of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda, said: "When talking about the Sports Committee, I just heard something new."
All the Standing Committee members looked at Liang Song. The atmosphere in the first half of the meeting was a little depressed. Liang Song's expression seemed to dilute this depressing atmosphere. He smiled and said, "Today, the Sports Committee held a mobilization meeting. At the mobilization meeting, our new Sports Committee director made great ambitions in front of all coaches and athletes, saying that he would win the first place in the gold medal list and the medal list at the provincial games next year."
As soon as Liang Song finished speaking, many members of the Standing Committee laughed. When they laughed, they subconsciously looked at Xia Boda.
Xia Boda didn't laugh. Zhang Yang was invited by him. No matter what the original intention of transferring Zhang Yang was, others thought that Zhang Yang was the cadre he wanted to support. Unexpectedly, this guy made such a big joke on the first day he came to work in Nancy.
Xu Guangran smiled and said, "It is a good thing for young cadres to have ambitions. How can they do a good job without work enthusiasm?"
Chapter completed!
