Chapter 1202 Conversation

Fan Xin and Fan Danbing, father and son, are preparing for a rainy day. However, the overall situation in Buwei is in chaos, and the situation is very critical.

On April 2, the State Council held an executive meeting to study the prevention and control of COVID-19, proposing to make prevention and control of COVID-19 a top priority. The Minister of Health served as the leader of the prevention and control team, and the Deputy Secretary-General was responsible for the coordination of the inter-ministerial joint meeting, and proposed to report to the world The health organization reports the epidemic, and the Ministry of Health holds a press conference. Establish an emergency response mechanism for public health incidents.

On April 3, the Minister of Health held the first press conference for Chinese and foreign journalists and stated that some areas of China have effectively controlled the COVID-19 epidemic. The number he informed everyone is that as of March 31, the number of cases of COVID-19 in the country has increased. Na case, death seedling case. Among them Guangdong. Shao case, Jingcheng case, 3 people died.

On April 10, the Vice Minister of Health stated at the second press conference for Chinese and foreign journalists that the obesity figures reported by China were credible.

As of April 9, the number of cases across the country is small, including 3 deaths from witchcraft and severe cases in Guangdong, and only 4 deaths from witchcraft in Beijing.

On April 15, the Ministry of Health announced that as of the morning, there were only 10 cases and 4 deaths across the country, including 3 cases in Guangdong and only 4 cases in Beijing.

On April 20, Xinhua News Agency announced the decision of the Central Committee to remove the Minister of Health and Security from the post of Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and the Mayor of Beijing from the post of Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. According to common practice, this means that they will no longer serve as Minister of Health and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Mayor of Beijing.

On this day, it was only one month since the Minister of Health took office, and less than two months after the Mayor of Beijing took office. The new official was dismissed before he took office. This is rare in Chinese history, and this rareness is different from the current situation. There is a close relationship between obesity and obesity in ** type pneumonia.

The Executive Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health confirmed this at the press conference held that day. In the latest epidemic situation he announced, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Beijing was 10, and the number of suspected cases was 44, while in the past five days According to the obesity report released by the former Ministry of Health, there were only one bad case and four deaths in Beijing. The number of deaths has not increased by one compared with ten days ago.

This set of data shows that at least in the Jingcheng District, there is serious concealment and underreporting. The local government has once again lied about military information in a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the Ministry of Health, as the head of the national health system, actually turned a blind eye to itself. Even the capital cities below cannot grasp the true fatigue. How can we talk about controlling the overall situation and doing our best to fulfill our responsibilities? This is nonsense.

Natural disasters are terrible, but violence is even more abominable.

According to the introduction of the Deputy Minister of Health, the media learned that the State Council has repeatedly asked the Beijing city government to coordinate the investigation and monitoring of the epidemic situation in hospitals affiliated with different departments, but the results have not been great, and the Ministry of Health has also failed to provide effective guidance on prevention and control in Beijing. The final figures released It was actually a statistical investigation conducted by a special team of the State Council in major hospitals in Beijing.

Is this the efficient government that Beijing wants to build?

Is it tolerable, which one is intolerable? !

Type 2 pneumonia has been reported in Guangdong as early as around the Spring Festival. As a new disease, it is indeed difficult to grasp at the beginning of the fatigue. It is not good for government departments to make public reports too early, as it can easily cause unnecessary social panic. But reporting it late is even worse and more likely to cause social unrest.

The pace of local government control in Guangdong is generally successful. Although the news media did not make public disclosures before the illness became clear in the early stages, local media reports were relatively sufficient after the epidemic was confirmed. This satisfied the public’s right to know to a large extent and also provided the public with the correct prevention and treatment of COVID-19. of time and space.

Theoretically speaking, as a latecomer to fatigue, the governments across the country, especially the Chifang government in the capital, should do better than Guangdong, be more calm, more foreseeable, more able to effectively control the spread of the epidemic, and better able to control the epidemic. nipped in the bud.

Unfortunately, what people see now is another result.

If the figures announced by the Ministry of Health are credible, then the rising number of cases has already broken the conclusion made by the Minister of Health at the first press conference, not to mention the fact that there is still concealment under his nose. The omission of reports makes many citizens living in the capital, including party and state leaders, feel the same situation and how do they feel? And how will they feel in the face of news reports that party and government leaders frequently inspect the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, and universities, middle schools, primary schools and hospitals in the capital?

Today is the age of the Internet. When a major epidemic occurs in society, the mass media fails to play the role of social communication and early warning in conveying the situation from the top to the bottom. This is also a serious dereliction of duty. How can the epidemic be avoided by the media? nonexistent. On the contrary, lack of information due to media avoidance will only aggravate the public's panic and complaints against the government. The consequences of deception are to delay prevention and control, to tarnish the image of the government, and to mislead the government's decision-making. .

Regarding these situations, Fan Heng, who was watching indifferently in Hong Kong, told his son, "The State Council will not implement the long holiday system for May Day in order to avoid large-scale movement of people and the spread of the epidemic. But on April 6, the deputy director of the National Tourism Administration convened More than 70 people from airlines and tourism companies from various countries in China reported the situation and said that foreigners can travel to China with confidence. They hope that those present can use their own experiences in China to refute the overseas media's exaggeration of the epidemic in China. When talking about the market, he said that there is a huge domestic tourism market, and domestic tourism accounts for about 70% of my country's overall tourism. We must organize the May Day Golden Week well and make use of the seven-day long holiday with tens of millions of people moving around. The world sees that China is still the most ideal fertile ground for investment and the safest tourist destination, but now it seems that these people have lost their focus.”

Fan Wubing said, "The epidemic is a natural disaster. It is a disease that humans have not mastered the prevention and control of yet. The occurrence and spread of the epidemic are not dependent on human will. What is the need to deliberately conceal or cover up? Where is it? How has it affected your political performance? So this incomprehensible phenomenon can only be explained as an instinctive and subconscious reflection of the official-standard phenomenon of numbers giving out to officials and officials giving out numbers. On the surface, it seems Reporting good news but not bad news is essentially being responsible only to the superiors but not to the subordinates. It is difficult to distinguish between political achievements and conscience, and political achievements are seriously inconsistent with the public sentiment.”

Fan Heng nodded and agreed with his son's statement. Nowadays, overseas public opinion has been criticizing the Chinese government's performance in the face of political fatigue. This has made every conscientious Chinese person angry about this. The central government's Attitudes reflect the image of a government that is accountable to the public.

**, the test is political civilization.

"This time the Ministry of Health has completely collapsed. It is estimated that there are only a few ministers and directors left. How shameful!" Fan Heng said, "In the face of such a major epidemic, they chose to deceive others. This not only ruined their official reputation. The impact made the senior management collectively angry. The new Prime Minister was also very angry about this. It is estimated that more people will be adjusted this time.

"It is not very realistic to need to make large-scale adjustments. After all, in the Ministry of Health, laymen cannot lead experts. I guess it is more likely that new leaders will be generated from within." Fan Wubing doesn't think that the Ministry of Health will continue to do so. It fell. In fact, in the face of a formidable enemy, changing generals before the battle is the only option. The top management can only get rid of one or two responsible leaders and then appoint people they can see to succeed. It is impossible to make an overall change.

It's not impossible to do an overall blood exchange, but now is not the best opportunity, especially now that there are not so many talents with a voice in the health system among the top management who can fill these vacated positions.

However, it is obvious that Fan Wubing's estimate is not accurate at all times.

During the lunch break at noon, the dedicated phone line between Fan Heng and the new Prime Minister rang. After Fan Heng picked up the phone and talked for a few words, he called out to Fan Wu Bing, "Wu Bing, come here quickly, the Prime Minister is telling you. Two sentences."

"Follow me?" Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment. In his impression, the new Prime Minister and he didn't quite see eye to eye. After all, there were still big differences in our views on some issues.

Judging from the current situation, the new leadership group seems to have different opinions on the privatization process, especially on the issue of whether the state should withdraw from the country and the people should advance, or the state should advance and the people should withdraw. Therefore, some non-public enterprises have recently experienced None of it was too good. Although Fan Investment Group basically occupies a highly competitive monopoly industry. For example, other industries such as chips, manufacturing, mobile phones, and LCD technology cannot be involved in state-owned enterprises, so the impact is not great, but this does not affect Fan Wubing's judgment and grasp of the overall situation.

Therefore, the relationship between Fan Wubing and the new leadership group is just to maintain a superficial relationship and harmony. It really does not reach the level of a harmonious relationship. In fact, Fan Wubing does not really hope that his company and the government will If they establish too close a relationship, they will easily be constrained in some decisions, which is something no large multinational consortium wants to see.

Just like Fan Wubing now, or several high-level figures in the Fan Investment Group, when they visit small countries, they are usually received personally by the president or prime minister or foreign princes, even if they go to the United States and Russia For big countries like Britain, France, Germany and Japan, the people who receive them are senior officials at least ministerial level or above. Especially when Fan Wubing travels, the people who receive him are the highest-level politicians of the other country.

Based on this consideration, although Fan Investment Group is rooted in domestic construction and development, it always carefully maintains its contacts with the government in a relatively stable state to avoid inappropriate relationships and unnecessary consequences. s consequence.

But this was not the time to be suspicious. Fan Wubing took the phone from his father Fan Heng and started chatting with the new prime minister.

During the dialogue, the new Prime Minister first expressed his gratitude to Fan Wubing, and said that the epidemic of infectious diseases in the capital had recently exploded, and the hospitals in the city simply did not have enough space for treatment. Fortunately, the infectious disease prevention and treatment center previously invested and built by Fan's Investment Group The base has been completed at this time, and all critically ill patients have been transferred to the infectious disease prevention and treatment base in Fengjiao, which makes the senior officials heave a sigh of relief.

"If it weren't for the infectious disease prevention and control base invested by General Manager Fan, we would have become more passive this time. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the State Council." The new prime minister said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing laughed a few times in response, but he was not without doubt in his heart. Although he did make a contribution in this matter and allowed the central government to prove that it was pragmatic and pragmatic at a critical moment, and also did some preventive work for infectious disease prevention and control, he did not think that this was the real reason why the new prime minister called to express his gratitude to him.

Sure enough, the new prime minister changed the subject and talked about the performance of the Ministry of Health in preventing and controlling the ** epidemic this time, "I am extremely disappointed with them! If it weren't for the overall situation, the entire system would have to be cleaned up!"

Fan Wubing comforted him for a few words and thought of the other party's real purpose, so Fan Wubing followed the tone of the new prime minister and tried, "Since the Ministry of Health has such a big leak, the vacant positions must be filled by professionals. After all, this is a very professional department. I believe the leadership must have made arrangements, right?"

"This is exactly one of the reasons why I want to find you." The new prime minister said to Fan Wubing very directly.

"Oh?" Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment and said, "Although I am known as a little genius doctor, I am not proficient in this area. Prime Minister, you probably found the wrong person.

"Mr. Fan is too modest. Everyone knows that you are the last disciple of Mr. Fan Tianlan. This time. Mr. Fan took action. Traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine played a key role in ** prevention and control. We hope to rely on his prestige to do a better job in the Ministry of Health and eliminate this ** epidemic smoothly. The new prime minister said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing understood immediately that he still had to rely on the high prestige of his teacher Fan Tianlan to calm down those self-important but incompetent returnees in the Ministry of Health. This was the main purpose of the new prime minister's conversation with him.

He thought about it and felt that this matter was still very feasible.

** Face to face, the epidemic is raging, and ordinary people really don't have the courage to take on the heavy burden of the Ministry of Health. Although it is said that Vice Premier Wu of the State Council is currently the Minister of Health and is mainly responsible for ** prevention and control, she will always withdraw from the management of these specific affairs, so the Ministry of Health needs someone with weight to preside over it.

Relying on these current bureaucrats, the top leaders are obviously not at ease, so they need to introduce some well-deserved medical masters to make the work of the Ministry of Health go smoothly, and at the same time restore everyone's confidence in the entire Ministry of Health and even the entire central government.
