"Secretary Fang, what you mean is that the scope of cadre exchanges is between department-level cadres and deputy department-level cadres. And it is mainly necessary to select a group of cadres who have worked in grassroots districts and counties and have shown good economic work in their work to communicate with other cities and prefectures to carry the burden?" Lu Weimin wanted to ask the question clearly. After all, the provincial party committee has shown this attitude, and he also hopes to give this group of cadres a better opportunity.

"Well, that's what it means, so I told you not to delay others, and don't hide it. Only under more difficult and severe conditions can they be more able to play their talents better than growing up smoothly." Fang Guogang nodded, "A leading cadre cannot show his own style in a good situation. Only by showing himself in the positions that need him the most is the real ability. The provincial party committee must first assign important tasks to cadres in backward areas, secondly, focus on them, and thirdly, support them, support them to play their talents in these positions and make their own contributions to the development of backward areas. At the same time, their performance will be key assessments by the organization department."

"Then our municipal party committee mainly cooperates with the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department to conduct selection and recommend outstanding cadres who meet the conditions to the Organization Department?" Lu Weimin asked further.

"Well, of course, if you have a very outstanding cadre in the people, you can also recommend it directly to me or Secretary Rong and Governor Du. Why, are there any candidates you particularly like? I mean the kind of cadre who can carry out work creatively in poverty and backward conditions, and have no conditions to create conditions and be promoted. Such cadres are particularly scarce. The provincial party committee especially hopes that there can be such cadres to share the worries and problems of the provincial party committee." Fang Guogang looked at Lu Weimin.

"Haha, Secretary Fang, I have to discuss this with other comrades of the municipal party committee after I go back. After all, this is also a recommendation on behalf of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee." Lu Weimin hesitated for a moment.

"Well, your municipal party committee's recommendation is a formal opinion. I want to hear your personal opinion now. You know that Yishan, Xiliang, Quyang and Changxizhou have some counties that have very slow development speed, and the situation in old, young, border and poor areas is even more heartbreaking. The provincial party committee attaches great importance to this cadre exchange, hoping to use good steel on the edge, and also introduces a series of support policies, hoping to completely change the situation of backward areas. So I also hope that you, Songzhou, can come up with one or two decent candidates to live up to the expectations of the provincial party committee."

Fang Guogang's words were simple and straightforward and frank. After thinking for a while, he said: "Secretary Fang. If we consider it from the perspective of department-level cadres, Gu Wei, director of our Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, and Dou Yongnian, governor of Sui'an County, are all cadres with a lot of grassroots work experience, and they are also very good at economic work. Of course, if we consider it from the perspective of deputy department-level cadres, Tan Weifeng, Yu Bo, Li Youjun and Wu Miao have all made considerable contributions in economic work. However, the provincial party committee also needs to consider the facts of our Songzhou when considering the issue of cadre exchanges. Even if we select outstanding talents, we have to leave some talents for us, right? Our Songzhou will be as heavy as the work next year."

"Okay, for the people, don't look around there, you're still behaved when you get a cheaper one. There's nothing like this." Fang Guogang laughed, "I'm afraid that there will be no cadres in my own place, and you have to be pretentious. If you really leave your Songzhou cadres, will the province not be able to choose people?"

"Hehe, Secretary Fang, I don't mean that. Do you want to understand the difficulty of being the secretary of the municipal party committee?" Lu Weimin cleared his throat and looked serious. "I discussed with Baohua that Songzhou is in good momentum this year. It is estimated that the total GDP this year will approach 100 billion. This number seems amazing. However, if we compare it with developed cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we are still far behind. For example, Su*zhou, at least 300 billion this year, and Wu*xi is at least 230 billion, which is two or three times that of our Songzhou. For example, Ning*bo and Qing*dao are all over 200 billion. We still have a long way to go to catch up with these cities, but our goal is these cities. Maybe our Songzhou has set its goal a little higher, but we would rather be higher, so that we can give ourselves the greatest pressure and encourage ourselves at any time, so that our development will be greater."

Fang Guogang was slightly moved. It was no secret that Lu Weimin had lofty ambitions, but Lu Weimin dared to list developed cities like Suzhou, Wuxi, sub-provincial cities like Qing*dao, Ning*bo as catching-up targets. It is impossible to say that this spirit is unmatched. Yun Tingguo mentioned it in front of him, but he only dared to say that he wanted to surpass Changzhou and strive for the first place in the province. However, Lu Weimin had already jumped out of the circle of Changjiang and set his sights on developed coastal cities. With this, the provincial city and prefecture secretaries were much inferior.

Of course, Lu Weimin was not arrogant there. He was confident that he dared to say this. Songzhou has been close to 60 billion last year, but this year it is close to 100 billion. The absolute number in a year can reach more than 30 billion. This is simply unimaginable to many people. You must know that Songzhou is not Su*zhou, and Wu*xi. It is a miracle to make such a big leap.

But Lu Weimin did it, and the momentum has not diminished yet. What will Songzhou appear in front of everyone next year?

"For the people, Secretary Rong and Governor Du both attach great importance to Songzhou. This year, Songzhou has won glory for the whole province. Songzhou has set its sights on developed cities such as Su*zhou, Wuxi, Qing*dao, and Ning*bo. The province also has light on its face. When people go out for meetings, they have to give a thumbs up when they mention Songzhou. I really hope to see that Songzhou can one day be comparable to developed cities such as Su*zhou, Wuxi, Qing*dao, and Ning*bo. Then our Changjiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government can be proud in front of brother provinces and cities."

Seeing Fang Guogang's tone full of emotion, Lu Weimin nodded heavily: "Secretary Fang, our Songzhou Municipal Party Committee will definitely live up to the trust of the Provincial Party Committee and do our best to prove that our Changjiang Province can do what they can do along the developed coastal areas."

*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************

On the way back to Songzhou, Lu Weimin had been thinking.

There is no doubt that the provincial party committee has already made some considerations, and it is obvious that some of the performances of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department this time made the relevant leaders of the Provincial Party Committee unsatisfied, which is why Fang Guogang's conversation was made.

Moreover, the provincial party committee’s attitude this time is also very urgent, which may also be related to the economic growth rate of the whole province.

Songzhou, Kunhu and Fengzhou are both arrogant in the province with a growth rate of more than 20%, but the growth rates of other cities and prefectures are hard to hide the bitterness. For example, Yishan, Xiliang, Qingxi, Guiping, Luomen, and Changxi are all single-digit growth rates, especially Yishan and Qingxi. The growth rates in the first and third quarters were only less than 8%, Yishan 7.2%, and Qingxi 7.4%, which is shocking.

If it weren't for the drag of these cities and cities, Changjiang's economic growth rate would have a full hope of entering the top three, but now it has fallen to tenth place, which naturally makes the provincial party committee very dissatisfied, so it smells a little bit determined.

Lu Weimin probably might be a little confused. Although he could not determine who Fang Guogang was interested in now, he estimated that Tan Weifeng was very likely.

Tan Weifeng performed well in Yehe and Su Qiao, but Tan Weifeng is already a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. If Tan Weifeng is to be assigned to a position in a backward city or prefecture, what kind of position should Tan Weifeng be assigned?

Another possibility is that Li Youjun and Wu Miao. Li Youjun built the West Tower, especially taking a different path to take the path of tourism real estate as the dominant industry. Wu Miao worked hard in Lucheng, creating Lucheng's textile industry to the extreme, and also began to absorb the clothing and shoe industry transferred by Luxi. Both of them have strengths.

As for department-level cadres, Lu Weimin estimated that the province would respect the recommendations of the municipal party committee more, which was also an opportunity for Gu Wei.

Thinking of this, Lu Weimin pondered for a moment. This was also an opportunity for Zhang Mingquan. He estimated that Fang Guogang might also talk to Tang Tiantao to understand the situation, but Tang Tiantao did not have much friendship with him.

After thinking about it, he called Zhang Mingquan first and revealed the situation to Zhang Mingquan, suggesting that the other party could still find Tang Tiantao.

Here, Lu Weimin called Qi Zhange and Hu Jingdong respectively, and pointed it in a very subtle and tactful way. Qi Zhange and Hu Jingdong are both clear-minded characters. It is obvious that they naturally know the meaning of Lu Weimin calling at this time, and they both said that they would recommend Zhang Mingquan when appropriate.

All Lu Weimin could do was to do this, and the rest was achieved by Zhang Mingquan himself. After all, Zhang Mingquan had been the county party secretary in Nantan for many years. Even if he was not Tang Tiantao's direct descendant, Nantan had performed well in recent years, and Zhang Mingquan's qualifications were there. I believe that Tang Tiantao would not be stingy to give such an opportunity to go with the flow.

He also thought about calling And Dejian and asking And Dejian to help Zhang Mingquan talk to Tang Tiantao, but after thinking about it over and over again, he still didn't make the call. He was not sure whether And Dejian would have a counterproductive effect if And Dejian called Tang Tiantao. It was really a subtle relationship between And Dejian and Tang Tiantao.
