January 8, 2008, the first day of December in the lunar calendar.
Scattered snowflakes were falling in most areas of Yueshan Province. Everyone thought it was another light snowfall that melted on the ground, but they did not expect that after 8 pm, the snow started to fall heavier and heavier. At this time, most of the snow fell. On the moon, it suddenly turned into a rare goose-feather heavy snow.
People also found that the snow seemed to never stop. My mood also changed from the excitement of seeing heavy snow for the first time to worry.
More than 20 consecutive days of low temperature and snowstorms have caused traffic interruptions, power outages, and communication interruptions. On the Yueshan section of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, 40,000 vehicles were blocked and more than 100,000 people were stranded on their journey. Many people were forced to stay in Beijiang City.
In Yueshan Province, where heavy snowfalls continue to fall, the provincial government responded promptly. An extreme weather warning was launched, followed by rescue efforts from many parties.
Power and Communications Department, as per previous drills. Quickly dispatched to repair the destroyed and forced outage of power and communication facilities. The traffic department also organized cadres and masses to take to the streets to remove snow and ice in accordance with the plan. The public security department closed the highway section as required, and at the same time organized the local civil affairs department to promptly distribute relief supplies. Ensure that passengers and drivers stranded on the highway have all their daily necessities.
The transportation department is also gradually guiding vehicles to get off the highway as conditions permit. Due to the strong cooperation between the transportation department and the public security department and strict pre-planning, there were no fatalities due to traffic accidents due to heavy snow and extreme weather on the highways throughout Yueshan Province, and only a very small number of injured people.
At Beijiang Railway Station, where passengers are most stranded, many temporary relief tents have been set up. But it's still not enough. There are still many stranded passengers without tents to protect them from the wind and rain. There are also shortages of relief supplies.
On behalf of the provincial government, Peng Jiasheng inspected and supervised the rescue situation in Beijiang City. Many shortcomings were still discovered, and a rescue meeting was held when we returned to the provincial government.
At the meeting, Director of the Department of Civil Affairs Ren Feiming was severely criticized, and even Executive Vice Governor Ma Kelong was embarrassed to raise his head.
They really did not expect that Yueshan would encounter a once-in-a-century extreme snowstorm and freezing disaster. The previous lack of preparation by the Civil Affairs Department was now exposed.
At the meeting, Peng Jiasheng strongly praised the transportation, public security, electric power and communications departments. This is also a deep slap in the face to those cadres who made sarcastic remarks before.
Peng Jiasheng also instructed on the spot that the civil affairs department would do everything possible to coordinate supplies. But now that traffic is interrupted, Ren Feiming, director of the Civil Affairs Department, is also furious.
Peng Jiasheng returned to the office and the red phone on the table rang.
"Governor Jiasheng, your rescue in Yueshan Province was very timely this time. Although you were the most severely affected, you had the fewest problems. These are all the credit of your governor."
On the other end of the phone was Wang Qianqian's father, Wang Rongwu. The current central boss. The leader in charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission. It was also a change of leadership at the end of the year.
"These are what the Yueshan Provincial Government should do next year. Although I have made quite detailed plans and conducted drills before the disaster struck, there are still people who do not take the people into consideration. Now the civil affairs department has not followed the provincial regulations at all. According to the government's request, we must prepare enough relief supplies. I still have to review it with the leaders."
"I already know those things in the report you called the central government. Don't think about anything else now. Disaster relief is the first priority. These things will be settled after the disaster. I called you today, too. I want to tell you. The central government has plans to inspect Yueshan."
After hanging up the phone, Peng Jiasheng fell into deep thought. It took me a long time to come back to my senses. It seemed as if I had made some very important decision in my heart.
Zhao Xiaobei also came in at this time:
"Leader, my classmate Sun Lei just now. He called me and wanted to donate 3 million yuan in supplies to the provincial government on behalf of his company."
In fact, Zhao Xiaobei asked Sun Lei to prepare these supplies before the disaster struck.
At that time, Sun Lei was still surprised. Why did he buy so many instant noodles, purified water, tents and other relief supplies at once?
But I believed in Zhao Xiaobei unconditionally, so I did everything as planned. Unexpectedly, there was a snowstorm, which also exposed me in front of the provincial government.
At that time, Zhao Xiaobei told Sun Lei that he was now an entrepreneur and had made money. We must appropriately repay the society, so that we can not only promote our company, but also leave a good impression in front of the government. The next ten years will be a period of rapid development of real estate in Yueshan Province. It can establish a good relationship with the government and help the development of the company. .
As for why we need to prepare these, it is because we can make a big difference with small things. It is not unusual for a company to donate 3 million yuan. But if the government can provide the most scarce supplies when they need it most, there will definitely be a blockbuster harvest.
Even if there is no disaster, these materials can still be donated to mountainous areas in batches. As for tents and quilts, they can be stored for a long time. Just take it out when needed.
Upon hearing this, the Peng family realized that so many supplies must have been prepared in advance.
"Why did he prepare so many relief supplies in advance?"
Zhao Xiaobei had already thought of his words:
"Leader, he prepared these when the heavy snow just started. He said that the situation has been great in the past few years, and he has made a lot of money. He originally wanted to repay the society and prepare some supplies for emergency use. Even if he doesn't have this During the snow disaster, he also plans to donate to the government to replenish the relief material warehouse. The food will be donated to the children in the mountains."
"Well, he is a sentimental entrepreneur. You notify the general office and hold a donation ceremony, and I will personally come forward. We must vigorously promote Yueshan's good entrepreneurs."
At the donation ceremony, Governor Peng Jiasheng personally appeared. Strongly praised Sun Lei and his company. Provincial media also vigorously publicized it, and the central media later reprinted it. Sun Lei's company became popular all of a sudden, and his real estate sales were also rising steadily. These are all things for later.
Thanks to the efforts of the whole province, the final situation of the heavy snow disaster is still very good. Among the disaster-stricken provinces across the country, it has the lowest death toll and the lowest economic losses.
At the central level, it strongly praised the Yueshan Provincial Committee and the Provincial Government, especially pointing out that the Yueshan Provincial Government was able to be prepared for danger in times of peace and organize rescue drills. It shows the responsibility of the provincial government and also reflects Comrade Peng Jiasheng's high political awareness, high standing and high concern for the masses.
What was originally a disaster has now turned into a shining job because of Peng Jiasheng's proper work. It also gained enough political capital for Peng Jiasheng.
Zhao Xiaobei once again helped his leader and won the approval of the central government.
