Section 26 Controversy

Ying Dongliu accompanied the Prime Minister and his party to inspect the Binhai New Area, and Wen Guoji was in a good mood.

The new planning outline for the development of Binhai New Area feels that it is much better than the previous plans. It focuses on the characteristics of Tianjin as the northern economic and transportation center, radiating to the Greater North, covering the Yellow and Bohai Sea, leveraging its scientific and technological advantages, cultivating emerging industries, and posing a stance to share some of the economic functions gradually detached by the capital.

At this point, Wen Guoji felt that Ying Dongliu was very clear-headed.

As the four major municipalities directly under the central government, as old industrial bases, the best in industry and technology, and also has the advantages of sea, land and air that other cities do not have. In particular, the advantages of maritime transportation are unique to the north, backed by the hinterland of the North China Plain, and assumed the heavy responsibility of the capital. If Tianjin does not have a high-level long-term plan, Wen Guoji believes that the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will be unqualified.

Fortunately, Ying Dongliu's performance this year proves that the central government's decision-making is wise, and put Ying Dongliu in this position and played a role.

"Dongliu, I looked at it. I just talked to Director Zhang and others in the car. I personally feel that the planning of Tianjin Binhai New Area is feasible. The key lies in implementation. I saw that the preliminary basic work of your municipal party committee and government has been done very well. Now it is time to strive for a high spirit and revitalize Tianjin. *** is about to be held. I hope that your Tianjin Kunpeng can take advantage of the opportunity of the convening of the *** and the 11th *** next year and take advantage of this east wind to soar. I hope that in a few years, an unprecedented northern pearl can be presented to the world."

"Thank you for your care. Our Tianjin will never let down the Prime Minister's expectations. We must keep your instructions in mind and build Tianjin into a new Tianjin that satisfies the people, reassures the central government, and admires the world." Ying Dongliu took a step closer to the Prime Minister's slightly faster pace and said with high morale.

"Well, Dongliu, Tianjin has always been an important economic center in the north. In fact, the central government has been considering the division of labor and positioning of the capital and Tianjin. At present, the capital city is expanding too fast, and the signs of illness in big cities have become increasingly obvious. The Beijing Municipal Committee and Municipal Government have proposed to the central government on this issue how to plan ahead and plan in advance to solve the development strategy of Beijing in the next few years. I think at this point, Tianjin can conduct strategic communication with the two cities of Beijing. As my personal feeling, both Beijing and Tianjin should focus on the long-term, not stick to the front or even the next few years, but look further and focus on the long-term plans for the next ten or even twenty years." Wen Guoji's tone was deep.

"The land resources in the capital are limited, but the urban population is growing too fast. There are many reasons. However, I think one thing needs to be considered, that is, the nature positioning of the capital. Of course, there is no problem with the cultural center, but it is not to be positioned as the northern economic center. I think this is worth discussing. The concept of economic center is too broad, including the current new concepts such as headquarters economy, and also a lot of traditional industries. So, as Tianjin and Hebei, can we assume some of the functions of the capital's economic center? On this point, I have also proposed to the central government, that is, in the future, the capital will consider no longer taking economic development as an assessment indicator, and even gradually adjusting and changing the economic development proposal. The State Council is also conducting some research and planning on this aspect. I hope that Tianjin and Hebei must take the initiative to assume the function of taking over, and you Tianjin can also have a coordinated concept plan with Hebei."

Ying Dongliu was also shocked. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister talked about such a core topic as soon as he came. It is undoubtedly quite good news for Tianjin. If the capital's economic function is weakened and gradually transferred to Tianjin and Hebei, as Tianjin, it can undoubtedly take over some high-end industries from the capital. In this regard, Tianjin undoubtedly has more outstanding advantages over Hebei. Of course, Hebei also has the advantage of its vast hinterland and richer land resources, which is more suitable for taking over middle and low-end industries.

"Prime Minister, I agree with your opinion. This is definitely not a narrow idea of ​​considering Tianjin. I have been working in Anyuan for nearly ten years and have to go to Beijing many times a year. However, every time I go to Kyoto, I can feel the feeling of crowding and depression. There are too many people, cities are too big, changes are too big, and consumption levels are soaring, especially the housing prices in the capital. To be honest, even if I am a provincial party committee member, I still feel that housing prices within the Third Ring Road in Beijing are unacceptable. So what about ordinary people?" Ying Dongliu showed a solemn expression on his face.

"The rising housing prices are many factors, but one thing is obvious. More and more young people who are eager for urban life in the capital and the stretched urban land resources are expanding outward like this. I feel that this is unsustainable. The bigger the city, the more management problems it will bring, and the higher the management costs will be. Various resources such as water, air, transportation, and environmental resources will become increasingly scarce. This is also unacceptable for the physical and mental health of citizens. This is not a problem in the capital city, but a problem that the central government needs to seriously consider. How to alleviate and eliminate this increasingly obvious trend? I think the central government should make plans early, make scientific plans, and coordinate layout. Otherwise, the more difficult it will be to solve these problems later, and the greater the price it will pay."

Ying Dongliu's opinion was very satisfied with Wen Guoji. As the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, he was able to consider the development of the capital and even the impact on the whole country. This was a qualified municipal party committee. Only with such a far-reaching vision and broad mind could he be competent for the heavy responsibility of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee.

"Dongliu, it's well said. The central government really needs to make arrangements in advance on this issue. Don't wait until the problems accumulate to consider how to solve them. This is not scientific and unresponsible." Wen Guoji took a breath, as if he was thinking of some problem, "By the way, Dongliu, you have worked in Anyuan for nearly ten years and are quite familiar with Comrade Zhao Guodong. What do you think of this Comrade?"

Ying Dongliu's heart moved slightly, but his face was calm, "Zhao Guodong? This is a very outstanding young cadre. After I arrived in Tianjin, I considered asking the central government to arrange him to work in Tianjin. Our Tianjin needs outstanding cadres like him who have broad thinking and strong overall view and are proficient in coordinated development. And now it is becoming more and more mature. At that time, I hoped that he could come to Tianjin to assist Mayor Fengli in charge of economic development, but unexpectedly, he was the National Development and Reform Commission to take the lead."

Ying Dongliu did not hide his praise at all. He couldn't help but smile in Wen Guoji's eyes, "Dongliu, Zhao Guodong is so outstanding? It's rare for you to use such beautiful words to describe a cadre in terms of words. Well, he is good at coordinated development and is becoming more mature. Are you trying to figure out my thoughts to cater to my appetite?"

Hearing the Prime Minister joking, Ying Dongliu laughed, "Prime Minister, what do you think? You may not have much contact. After all, he was a cadre who grew up during my tenure as the Anyuan Provincial Party Committee. I have a good word for you. I have enough knowledge of him. This comrade can always bring you an unexpected surprise. When carrying out work, you can not only accurately grasp the rhythm, but also carry out work creatively. It is not just as simple as being good at economic work. He can also arrange and deploy a period of central work, scientifically schedule, and obey the overall situation. As for the saying that *** is becoming more mature, it is not my flattery. Prime Minister, you should have also seen his performance in southern Yunnan and the Development and Reform Commission for more than two years."

"Well, I understand." Wen Guoji nodded.

If only one can do economic work, then cadres like Zhao Guodong would not cause an uproar, and they may not be able to push this level at all. It is precisely because Zhao Guodong performed too well that his flaws are also obvious, and his age and experience issues are also very different. This sharp contrast has led to such great differences in the use of this cadre.

It is said that age is not a problem, and youth is a treasure, but this issue cannot be ignored when using ministerial-level cadres.

A person's growth and maturity require time and experience to settle. This is determined by objective reality. Too young makes his psychological maturity still require a time process to brew and accumulate. Of course, this is just a general problem. With a rich experience, the growth and maturity of a cadre will exceed the growth rate of a normal person.

Chairman Jianbang was very impressed by Zhao Guodong. It seemed that Zhao Guodong had left a deep impression on Chairman Jianbang during his work in the Ministry of Energy, believing that this cadre is a talent that can be made, and...

When appointing a senior cadre, everyone's views are still stable, but it is not necessary to follow a customized model and work a one-size-fits-all approach. Wen Guoji does not agree with this view. After all, objective things are ever-changing, both universal and special. If Zhao Guodong's conditions are no less than those of the others, why do you have to use the age bar to stop the other party?

It seems that the appointment of this comrade may not be confirmed until the meeting of the *** Bureau. This is a rare phenomenon. It will cause such a big controversy about a candidate for a ministerial-level cadre, which is really rare among the top leaders in the party. Wen Guoji also showed a smile on his face. This itself proves that Zhao Guodong's success, at least mediocre people will never cause such controversy.
