Chapter 3946

Su Xinghui said, "These enterprises are willing to donate, which is their love. However, we still have to supervise these donations well and cannot let their love go to waste. Similarly, our own funds for supporting the disaster area must also be well supervised and cannot have problems."

By rights, for a mayor like Su Xinghui to say such things in front of the provincial party secretary, Fang Zhonglin should be angry, but he was silent, silent for a long time.

Because Fang Zhonglin understood that what Su Xinghui said was the truth. How could Fang Zhonglin not understand the greed of some officials? No matter what money it is, they won't blink when they are greedy. If they are not supervised well, no matter how much money is given to them, they will only build a pile of tofu-dreg projects.

But Fang Zhonglin also understood that the reason Su Xinghui proposed to support Xingfu County in a counterpart manner was also for his sake. Yanbei Province takes on heavy responsibilities, which can certainly leave a good impression on central leaders. Leaving a good impression, isn't the ultimate beneficiary him, Fang Zhonglin?

But if Yanbei Province supports Xingfu County and hands these funds to an unreliable person to manage, building a pile of tofu-dreg projects, then Yanbei Province will not only fail to leave a good impression on central leaders but will instead become a scandal.

Therefore, Fang Zhonglin will absolutely not hand these funds to those unreliable people.

Fang Zhonglin nodded and said, "Xinghui, don't worry, I will definitely supervise these funds well and will not let anyone use a cent indiscriminately."

Su Xinghui said solemnly, "Then thank you, Secretary Fang!"

Fang Zhonglin nodded slightly and said, "Xingfu County, very good. Then I will convene a standing committee meeting today to discuss it, and then I will report it to the central government. We proposed it early, so no one should compete with us."

For a severely affected area like Xingfu County, its degree of loss ranks at least in the top five among all counties affected by this Wenchuan Earthquake. Yanbei Province, a province ranked in the middle of the country, takes the initiative to take on such a heavy burden. Who will compete with them?

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Indeed, no one should compete with us."

Fang Zhonglin let out a long breath and said, "However, this is indeed a heavy burden!"

Yes, although Su Xinghui said it very well, Yanbei Province still has to pay a large sum of money after all, which is indeed a heavy burden for Yanbei Province, so Fang Zhonglin still has to plan carefully how to take on this heavy burden.

After seeking Su Xinghui's opinion, Fang Zhonglin decided to provide counterpart support to Xingfu County. Of course, this is also because Su Xinghui helped him solve big problems. One is that there are hundreds of millions of counterpart donations that can be used, which is a very good supplement to their support work. The second is that Su Xinghui promised to help Xingfu County pull some big projects to help Xingfu County with hematopoietic function.

However, not everyone agreed with Fang Zhonglin's decision because Xingfu County is a severely affected area, which is a heavy burden. Such a heavy burden should not be borne by Yanbei Province. Yanbei Province should choose a middle-of-the-road county. They even think that Fang Zhonglin chose Xingfu County just to show off and please the leaders.

Of course, there are many people who support Fang Zhonglin, and Fang Zhonglin has served as governor in Yanbei Province and has a strong foundation in Yanbei Province. Therefore, after Fang Zhonglin convened the standing committee meeting, it was easily passed, and finally, Yanbei Province decided to provide counterpart support to Xingfu County.

Yanbei Province reported to the central leaders and was soon approved. However, Yanbei Province was not the first province to report to the central leaders. The first province was Guangdong Province.

The current provincial party secretary of Guangdong Province is Ke Zhifang. Guangdong Province is the most economically developed province in China. Therefore, Guangdong Province took the initiative to take on the task of counterpart support for Huanchuan County.

Huanchuan County is the epicenter of this Wenchuan Earthquake. It is naturally the most severely affected county and also the heaviest burden, so Guangdong Province took it on first.

Not long after Guangdong Province reported to the central government, Yanbei Province was the second to report to the central government. After that, various provinces and cities successively declared the disaster-stricken counties they were prepared to support, which allowed the central government to very smoothly determine the list of disaster-stricken counties supported by each province and city.

The reason for this is because of the stepping forward and taking on heavy responsibilities of Guangdong Province and Yanbei Province. With their exemplary power, who would be picky again? So all provinces chose disaster-stricken counties that matched their strength according to their own economic strength.

The important roles played by Guangdong Province and Yanbei Province were naturally seen by the central leaders.

Just two days after Su Xinghui returned to Linshan City, a donation ceremony was held in the auditorium of the Linshan Municipal Government. Qian Jianan, Su Xinghui, and other municipal party and government leaders all participated in this donation ceremony. The donors were enterprises in several economic development zones of Linshan City, and these enterprises were led by Xuanwu Technology, Hengxing Microelectronics, TJD Technology, etc.

And Yanbei TV station specifically sent a film crew to film this donation ceremony. After filming, it would be broadcast successively on Yanbei Provincial News and China Central Television's News Broadcast and special programs.

The donation amount this time reached hundreds of millions, which can be considered a big event for Yanbei Province. These donations were all from enterprises in Yanbei Province, which could also add luster to Yanbei Province.

Executives of donation enterprises such as Xuanwu Technology, Hengxing Microelectronics, and TJD Technology all attended and participated in this donation ceremony.

What surprised Su Xinghui a little was that the total donations of these enterprises at the donation ceremony exceeded 400 million, which was about 100 million more than the figure they had promised before, which could be considered an unexpected joy.

Of course, this is also because this donation ceremony would be broadcast on China Central Television, so many enterprises temporarily decided to increase the donation figure. After all, a larger figure could leave a deeper impression on the audience. They had already donated a lot of money, so what if they donated more to make the audience's impression deeper?

Although this is a bit utilitarian, so what? These enterprises, after all, took out real money and silver. What's wrong with them wanting to be on China Central Television's news? As long as they are truly doing charity work, this is already a hundred or a thousand times better than those enterprises that make fake donations.
