2024 Chinese New Year outlook
My hometown is in the north, and the city I live in is the heating season from November to March every winter. Before 2006, there was only one heating company owned by a local state-owned enterprise in the original urban area.
This medium-sized state-owned enterprise has a number of heating stations, which are responsible for the winter heating of hundreds of thousands of residents and ** institutions, enterprises and institutions in the city.
For decades, the quality of their heating and the feedback from residents are generally good, even if there are occasional problems such as individual heating failures, as long as they call the heating ***, the company will soon send someone to the scene and take immediate measures to solve it.
In 2002, a new secretary of the municipal party committee was sent from the prefecture-level city's urban construction bureau (then called the director of the construction committee).
He is a leading cadre at the county and department level, who was transferred from Heilongjiang Province to this prefecture-level city along the coast of Liaoning Province a few years ago.
At first, he was the director of the Cultural Bureau, and two years later he became the director of the Urban Construction Bureau (Director of the Construction Committee). After he came to us, under the banner of attracting investment, he quickly introduced a private heating company (private enterprise).
Originally, the original task of this local state-owned enterprise heating company was no longer saturated, but the secretary of the municipal party committee operated in the dark, and this private heating company must be brought in.
As a result, after so many years, the private heating company has a poor reputation, and they are based on the principle of maximizing profits, and the heating quality ranks second.
The actual heating of this private heating company for 20 years has made the vast majority of the people in the city generally feel and believe that the introduction of a private heating company is a failure, and the lesson is extremely profound.
Facts have proved that heating, tap water and other industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood are best in the hands of state-owned enterprises.
Many private enterprises have entered this kind of concession industry, which is directly related to the vital interests of the people and the national economy and people's livelihood, and they are completely rushing for money and putting service in the second place.
Heating and water utilities have already laid pipes and built there. Although we all know that the quality of this private heating company is not good, the new building can only be connected to the nearest heating pipe, and it is impossible to choose a local state-owned heating company a few kilometers away, because it is a huge expense to relay the pipes and build a new capacity expansion station.
After the politicians go, public opinion is chattering. Now, the secretary of the municipal party committee, who introduced the private heating company, has long since retired, but he has left a scolding from the people in the city where he worked.
