Bei Yihe's request has been circling in Sha Zhengyang's mind. On the way back to Wanzhou, Sha Zhengyang was thinking about this issue.

Du Dawei was somewhat embarrassed and did not make a request too bluntly, but Sha Zhengyang still understood what the other party expressed, that is, the current situation in Yucheng is indeed not good, and he, the i-sec secretary of the county party committee, also worked very hard.

When he left, Chu Tianlan spoke for a while and said that he would come to Handu to visit him in the near future. Sha Zhengyang also thought that this was also to help Du Dawei and Bei Yihe fight for the front station.

Sha Zhengyang could not refuse to come to visit him, so he could only say welcome him, but he also understood the purpose of the people coming, and he probably had to give him an explanation at that time.

They are old friends for many years, and no matter how hard they can't let others return empty-handed. Whether it's a project or a thought, when they come, they have to give them some thoughts. This is also the way for friends to get along.

However, he was also thinking about how to plan the development path for a county like Yucheng.

Yucheng has a large population, and the registered population as of last year should be more than 990,000, which is a county with a population of one million. However, it is ranked fifth in Wanzhou City, second to Shandu County (1.19 million), Wanyang District (1.15 million), Zhenyang County (1.08 million), and Xiangcheng County (1.02 million).

However, compared with the previous few large-capital counties (districts), the conditions of Yucheng are much worse. Wanyang is an urban area and cannot be compared. Zhenyang's economy has made rapid progress. Needless to say, even Xiangcheng's development speed in the past two years has also risen with the explosion of the building materials industry, leaving Yucheng, which was once the top in Xiangcheng, far behind. Now, Shandu County, which is the largest population in the city, is similar to Yucheng. Shandu County is slightly stronger than Yucheng. Last year's GDP reached 2.8 billion, while Yucheng's GDP last year was only 2.5 billion, and this data can be said to be quite pitiful.

Especially compared with Zhenyang County, which had GDP reaching 6.8 billion last year and Dongxia County, which had GDP reaching 5.6 billion, even the GDP of the Economic and Technological Development Zone reached 3.3 billion, while Shandu and Yucheng GDP with a population of one million have not exceeded 3 billion. This is too embarrassing.

Under this situation, counties with large populations have become a burden and pressure, making the work of the county party committee and county government more difficult.

Sha Zhengyang was in a mess in his mind, and he couldn't think of a better way for a while. It was not that simple to come up with a practical strategy for the industrial economic structure of a county. Especially for such a large-capital county, Sha Zhengyang was able to build Zhenyang's economy in a short period of time, which was based on sufficient research and survey, and several investment promotion teams were specially formed for this, but Yucheng did not have such conditions and could only do it slowly.

**********

Sha Zhengyang's investigation in Zhenyang and the Economic and Technological Development Zone was just a flash of light. Because these two areas were so familiar, and it took him more than a year to leave, he just looked at it in a flash, but he still conducted some serious investigations on Wanyang.

Originally, Sha Zhengyang wanted to conduct research on two large-capital counties, Xiangcheng and Shandu. However, after looking at Yucheng, he could roughly understand the situation of Xiangcheng and Shandu. It was similar, but Xiangcheng had developed better and Shandu was a little worse.

In a word, the development is too unbalanced. Zhenyang, Dongxia and Economic Development Zone have the strength to compete for the top ten counties in the province, and are not inferior to those in Handu. The remaining districts and counties are too disappointing.

Therefore, Sha Zhengyang also remembered what Feng Shizhang mentioned at the dinner party for him. The situation in Wanzhou is special. It cannot be limited only by emerging strategic industries and key core industries. Instead, it should be cultivated from a wider dominant industry. It includes more traditional manufacturing industries, not necessarily limited to the emerging strategic industries and key core industries mentioned earlier, because that will make it more difficult for several large-capital counties in Wanzhou.

Sha Zhengyang has also carefully analyzed the pattern of Wanzhou. The dominant industries of the districts and counties such as Zhenyang, Dongxia, and Economic and Technological Development Zone have been basically established and are still maintaining a good development momentum. Of course, if you want to maintain your leading advantage, you must continue to deepen reforms and opening up to the outside world, attract external capital and industries to settle down, and even cultivate some new industrial growth points.

Like Wanyang, Xiangcheng's situation is still acceptable. After Guo Xiangyang became the i-Secretary of the Wanyang District Party Committee, although there were not many amazing points in the early stage, Guo Xiangyang was down-to-earth and persisted in promoting the reform of district-affiliated enterprises. At the same time, he consciously attracted investment. He has achieved relatively good results in the past two years. Since 1997, Wanyang's economic growth rate has begun to rise and has been slimly ranked in the top three, second only to Dongxia and Zhenyang. The growth rate in the first half of this year has even reached the first place in the city.

What is more difficult is counties like Yucheng and Shandu, which have a large agricultural population and lack industrial support, and if they cannot support the scene industry, it will be difficult to increase the income of surplus labor. The per capita net income of farmers is growing slowly, the county's finances are weak, and it is difficult to make any difference in fixed asset investment.

Of course, the most difficult ones are the areas such as Tongshan, Daye, Danzhen, Beixi, Linhe and Longling, with populations generally ranging from 600,000 to 800,000. If it is a large population in other places, it is really a small county, but in Wanzhou, it is really a small county. The industry has no characteristics, no pillars and dominant industries, and there are not even a few backbone enterprises. The economy is mainly agriculture, the location advantages are not obvious, and the transportation conditions are average or backward. In short, the conditions in all aspects are very mediocre. Perhaps the slightly distinctive ones are the differences in agricultural local specialties between counties and districts.

What should we do if we develop economic development in such counties? How to find a development path suitable for these relatively mediocre and uncharacteristic counties?

In Sha Zhengyang's view, this is actually an economic microcosm of the entire Wanzhou, Hanchuan and the inland areas of the country. Only by combining these most ordinary and ordinary local economies without many characteristics and solving these local economic development problems can the economy have hope.

"No feature is too ordinary, it is indeed a major obstacle to the economic development of these districts and counties, but my understanding that no feature is only relative, not absolute. All we need to do is find out the features from them to explore and guide them."

At this time, facing Feng Shizhang and Du Guojian, Sha Zhengyang was able to calmly take it with a very calm mind, and he had no longer the slightest resentment and dissatisfaction that had still existed in his heart before.

If they had not made arrangements, I might have taken over as Secretary of the Zhenyang County Party Committee. Perhaps Zhenyang's economy would be better now, and I might even become a candidate for the deputy mayor, deputy commissioner and even member of the Standing Committee of Wanzhou or other cities. But this is just a candidate. I cannot break through to the local level so quickly and become a deputy department level. It is precisely when I go to the enterprise that I can solve the deputy department level in this curve, and I can suddenly land in the position of deputy director of the Provincial Development and Planning Commission.

"Let's take a step back. If a certain district and county really can't find many advantages and characteristics that can be mentioned, then I think at least in the district and county under our Wanzhou, the sufficient labor force is a very strong advantage. Compared with other provinces and cities, we have advantages in this regard. The key lies in how we transform this advantage into a helping force in industrial development."

This is an opinion exchange.

Sha Zhengyang stayed in Wanzhou for two and a half days, second only to Handu, and even surpassed Fugang and Zhaoyang, which also satisfied Feng Shizhang and Du Guojian. At least they believed that whether it was the Provincial Development Planning Commission or Sha Zhengyang, they valued and valued Wanzhou more than Fugang and Zhaoyang. This was also a disguised recognition, believing that at least Wanzhou had higher development potential than Fugang and Zhaoyang.

"Director Zhengyang, I agree with your opinion. Our Wanzhou is the largest city in the province. How to digest the surplus rural labor force is directly related to the income increase of the people in our city. The provincial party committee and government also have high hopes for our Wanzhou. You are very familiar with the economic situation of our Wanzhou. Zhenyang, Dongxia and Economic Development Zone are developing very well, but the situation in other districts and counties is not satisfactory. How to explore the unique advantages and how to create and cultivate the conditions for advantage are the problems we need to solve at the moment. On this point, I said before, I hope that the comrades of the Provincial Development and Planning Commission, especially Director Zhengyang, can provide us with advice."

Feng Shizhang smiled very well and had a red face. He looked at Sha Zhengyang and his party and nodded slightly.

"Secretary Feng, you are too polite. How to combine advantage exploration and industrial cultivation is a big proposition. You are also from an economic background. Now the Dongxia pharmaceutical industry has such a prosperous prospect is also the foundation you laid back then." The flower sedan chair is lifted by people. Since she has adjusted her mindset, Sha Zhengyang naturally praised the other party for a few words: "How to do this big question well, you have to adapt to local conditions and according to the actual situation in various places."

It is definitely difficult to satisfy the other party, but Sha Zhengyang will certainly not make any statement easily. It is not that he wants to take care of anything but involves industrial planning for each city and county. Sha Zhengyang is not a god, and it is impossible to turn stones into gold. Even if he has some ideas, he must carefully consider it before he can try it out bit by bit.

Besides, this is not his responsibility as the deputy director of the Development and Planning Commission. The Wanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are the main responsibility. It can only be said that from this perspective, Sha Zhengyang can give some suggestions and opinions from a high level.
