Chapter 27: The right time, place and people

Costa slowly left the gate of the small courtyard of the Development Zone Management Committee, and Zhao Guodong leaned back on the chair, as if he was in a deep mood and pondering.

The staff who accompanied him thought that the boss was in a bad mood today, and they all subconsciously hid in the back of Skoda, with only Deputy Mayor Li Daifu and Zhao Guodong standing in the same row.

"Dai Fu, do you think I'm talking a little too much today?" Zhao Guodong suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

Li Daifu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "Secretary Zhao, the development zone has been going well in recent years, and it is inevitable that it is a bit arrogant. It is also beneficial for you to hit it like this. Moreover, the problems you mentioned are indeed hitting the joints. I think Secretary Ruhuai and Director Mianyang can still accept them seriously, but those deputy and middle-level officials are probably a little depressed."

"Well, Daifu, although our city has grown rapidly in the past few years, our foundation is too poor. We are rushing to catch up quickly and rank ninth in the province, and there is still a big gap from the top three and five. Especially in Ningling, Jianyang, Mianzhou and Huaiqing, we have always been major agricultural cities, not even strong agricultural cities, and industry is our weakness. If we don't seize the time to catch up, we will be left farther and farther." Zhao Guodong said slowly.

"The development zone has achieved meritorious results, but we must see more problems. When I was working in Huaiqing, Guining County took the initiative to invite Andu Commercial Bank to set up a branch in Guining. This awareness is very lacking in our side. So far, the four major state-owned commercial banks have not set up a branch or branch office in the development zone, and it is inconvenient for enterprises to handle financial business, let alone other things. Now there are more than 60 enterprises in the development zone, with more than 4,000 managers and production workers. The Development Zone Management Committee has considered the daily life needs of these employees and the higher-level spiritual and cultural needs. Have you done research and understanding in this regard?"

"I looked at these companies, especially those with large scale companies. Except for one that can barely say that it has its own R&D institutions, the other two companies only talk about a few technical personnel. In other words, the investment in scientific and technological R&D forces is seriously insufficient. I also asked, and their answers were almost the same. The products were still stuck at what the market needs now, so I hurriedly followed them without studying the market development prospects, how to develop new products in advance based on market development trends... How can the Development Zone Management Committee help enterprises cultivate and improve R&D capabilities and provide services within their ability? There is still a lot of work to do, but I did not see that our Development Zone Management Committee has this awareness."

Zhao Guodong's comments at the meeting were quite sharp. Li Daifu could even feel that his back was sweating. It was said that the municipal party secretary had a broad mind and good eloquence. He was indeed well-known and could point out the existing problems at every point. Liu Ruhuai and Lu Mianyang had raised their heads before, and the lower they were buried, which was obviously hurt by Zhao Guodong's comments.

"Realistically speaking, I, the secretary of the municipal party committee, came. The general view is that the secretary who served as the secretary is good. You are here to pick peaches. In other words, the feudal flavor is a little more feudal, and it is just what you should do. In this way, you start to pick and sting at the beginning of your term of office, which is not conducive to unity and work. But I don't think so. Don't be afraid of existing problems. The important thing is to have a sense of correction and improvement, and take the initiative to find the gaps and shortcomings of your existence so that the work in the development zone can go further."

Li Daifu really admires Zhao Guodong's courage and courage. As he said, when he is new to the office, especially when Huang Ling is involved, everyone hopes to seek stability, unite cadres, and unite people's hearts. As for the rest, he can slow down. His research in other counties and districts is also normal, but he does the opposite in this development zone, which really makes Li Daifu a little confused about the style of the new secretary.

"Daifu, I think when the provincial party congress ends, you should consider preparing a city-wide industrial economy conference, so that the Municipal Party Committee Office can expand my meaning in the Development Zone Management Committee, and first send it to each district and county, so that each district and county can first touch its own industrial foundation, come up with an analysis report and prospect forecast, and then put forward the work ideas of each county in a solid manner and speak one by one."

Zhao Guodong thought about it and said: "The Municipal Party Committee Office should connect well with the Municipal Government Office. The Political Research Office should analyze the industrial situation of each county and district. I suggest that some experts can be invited from the province to take a pulse on the industrial economy of our counties and give a live comment on the ideas and ideas of our county leaders at the meeting. I will exchange this opinion with Mayor Yuejun when I go back. At that time, please ask the Municipal Government, especially if you are responsible."

Li Daifu nodded. It seemed that the secretary of the municipal party committee was really going to do something big. Judging from his posture, he seemed to be more ambitious than Huang Ling. Huang Ling had enough courage, but his vision was not as good as the secretary of the municipal party committee. He only asked for the goal, but did not point the direction. Zhao Guodong was like this in the development zone, so he could really put the problem to the point, which made you blush, but you were not convinced.

Zhao Guodong truly felt the huge gap between Ningling and other regions, which was largely due to historical reasons. Although it has experienced several years of rapid development, there are still insurmountable obstacles compared with the top five cities.

With this point in terms of education and scientific research, Ningling is even one-third or even one-fifth of Mianzhou, Jianyang and Huaiqing. Apart from a Ningling Normal College, there is no real college or above, nor a scientific research institute worth mentioning. With this point, your Ningling economic competitiveness must be at least two levels lower.

This is a gap like a ravine, which makes you powerless, and this gap may not be filled by your own generation in a few years or even ten years. Therefore, the development of a city sometimes requires both time, place, people and conditions, but Zhao Guodong really doesn't accept this tone.

In time, Ningling barely occupied it, and the domestic economy will usher in a period of rapid growth for six or seven years. National policies will gradually tilt towards the central and western regions. Of course, this advantage will also be occupied by other places in the province, but Zhao Guodong is confident that he can grasp it better.

There is no shortage of the geographical location. After working in Ningling for nearly four years for more than three years, Hualin, Xijiang and Development Zone were all positions that I had fought, and the basic situation was also well understood. In the past few years, Huang Ling has indeed laid a relatively good foundation during the administration of Ningling. In addition, the infrastructure conditions of Ningling have also been greatly improved in the past few years, especially the construction of the Xi (An) and Liu (Zhou) electrified railway and Ningling Port that run across Ningling City, and the Anxiang Railway and Anxiang Expressway that are being built across Ningling City, can be accelerator for the rapid economic development of Ningling.

The key lies in harmony. As the saying goes, people will be united and the mountains of Tai move. If the two-level teams at the city and county levels can work together to achieve a goal, can Ningling not reverse the world and become a new Shenzhen?

Of course, this idea can only be kept in Zhao Guodong's mind. It is certainly unrealistic to create a new Shenzhen, but it is not impossible to use Shenzhen's development speed as a goal to motivate yourself. Just by having the advantage of being foresighted, you must build a different city and create extraordinary political achievements.

"Guodong, how do you feel?" Jiang Yunhua sat peacefully in the reception room of Qilinguan Hotel. This was the first time that Zhao Guodong officially received you from his brothers and cities after he took office as secretary of the municipal party committee. The Tongcheng Party and Government delegation came to Ningling for inspection, mainly to learn the experience of the Ningling Economic and Technological Development Zone and Hualin Animal Husbandry Base.

In the morning, the leaders of the two cities held a discussion in the municipal government conference room and inspected the Ningling Development Zone. In the afternoon, Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun accompanied the visiting Tongcheng Municipal Party Committee Secretary Jiang Yunhua and Mayor Mi Pei and his party to Hualin County for inspection, focusing on the production bases and high-quality forage bases of Yili Group, Xihua Group and Sanye Company.

After the inspection, more than an hour before the meal, Zhong Yuejun accompanied Mi Pei and other members of the delegation to take a bath at the famous Qilin Temple Hot Spring. Jiang Yunhua did not go because of his excuse of being unwell, so Zhao Guodong stayed to accompany Jiang Yunhua, the former old leader.

"There are all kinds of flavors, and it's hard to describe it." Zhao Guodong sighed and shook his head, "Secretary Jiang, the same thing. Only by really sitting in this position can you feel the temperature under your butt. Not to mention the ant on the hot pan, but the burning taste makes you unable to sleep."

"Hahaha, you can finally understand the ups and downs of this. Don't you always feel that being a deputy is controlled by others? Don't you always feel that being a mayor is cowardly? You complain all day long. Now you are in power and you can do whatever you want. I want to see how you plan to do something big now and achieve something, so that I can also learn from the scriptures." Jiang Yunhua said happily.
