Zhou Nan walked into the small reception room and greeted Chen Yan and others sitting there with a smile, "Hello, Secretary Chen, Secretary Zhang, County Magistrate Sun, and Comrade Chen Dong."
After all, he is also an important leader in the county. Although Chen Yan has some preconceived "preconceptions" about Zhou Nan, she cannot go too far in terms of etiquette.
A subordinate official takes the initiative to ask you to say hello, but you don't even stand up or maintain basic etiquette. This not only embarrasses the subordinate, but also directly damages your own demeanor as a leader.
Therefore, Chen Yan finally smiled and stood up, shook hands with Zhou Nan and exchanged a few words.
Zhang Qiang patted Zhou Nan on the shoulder and laughed, "Comrade Zhou Nan, Lao Sun and I were talking just now, did you go to a prosperous place like Hong Kong and be corrupted by the feasting and entertainment of capitalism? Don't you want to
Are you back in our poor county?"
Zhou Nan smiled slightly and said, "Secretary Zhang, Hong Kong is actually just like that. It's a palm-sized place with nothing interesting to see. If it weren't for the fact that I had to connect with several Hong Kong companies, I would have come back a long time ago. It's not much fun."
"By the way, Secretary Zhang, County Magistrate Sun, when I was in Hong Kong, a Hong Kong investment company approached me and said that they happened to have a steel project and were looking for a place to invest in China. They asked us if Ningshan was willing.
...However, I considered that the steel project would be polluting to a certain extent, so I did not agree to it in person."
After hearing this, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but sigh, "You said that you, Comrade Zhou Nan, would refuse a project if it came to your door? Any industrial project has a certain degree of pollution, which is what we must pay to develop the economy.
It’s a price! If we don’t develop the economy and don’t implement projects, the people will be extremely poor. What’s the use of just having blue sky and clear water? So poor that we can eat for food just by looking at the blue sky with bare buttocks?”
Zhang Qiang's words were a bit harsh. If Chen Yan was not present, it would just be what he said. But with the female leader present, these words seemed a bit disrespectful to the leader.
Sun Xiang coughed dryly.
Only then did Zhang Qiang realize that there were some "speech errors" in his words. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said sheepishly, "Secretary Chen, I..."
Fortunately, Chen Yan is not that kind of petty woman. She often hangs out in the officialdom and fights with a group of men. She still has this kind of "resistance". She waved her hand and said with a smile, "What Zhang Qiang said is true."
, To develop the economy, you have to pay a price, this is an inevitable result. Don’t say that this is the case here, or in any city or region across the country.”
"Relatively speaking, the environmental quality and resource protection work in our Ningnan region is still among the best in the province. This is of course our achievement, but in a sense, this is actually the result of our poverty and backwardness.
A kind of performance. Does everyone think it is like this?"
Zhang Qiang quickly agreed, and at the same time flattered Chen Yan without leaving a trace, "Yes, that's the truth. A leader is a leader. When looking at problems, he has a far-reaching view, and when he speaks, his theoretical level is high! Listen, everyone, Secretary Chen has a lot to say.
Philosophical? Huh?"
Zhang Qiang's flattery, which was so obvious and without much technical content, almost made Zhou Nan laugh out loud, and he adjusted his emotions while turning around.
But Chen Yan is obviously willing to listen to such words. She knows that they are flattering and flattering, but she is willing to listen. In fact, it is basically the same for any leader. Even if they are not leaders, ordinary people are willing to listen to good things and not willing to listen.
Listen to nonsense.
Sun Xiang also smiled and said, "Yes, Comrade Zhou Nan, you shouldn't refuse them. You should set a time with them and let them come to our county to inspect and discuss this project further."
Zhou Nan shrugged when he heard this, "Secretary Chen, the two leaders, I actually didn't say anything to death. If both leaders agree, then I will contact them on the phone?"
Zhang Qiang praised him repeatedly and wished he could urge Zhou Nan to call Hong Kong immediately to contact him.
Sun Xiang smiled slightly and said nothing.
Chen Yan sat aside and watched with cold eyes for so long, her steady eyes sliding over Zhou Nan's calm and smiling face, and she thought to herself: This kid obviously said this on purpose, setting up a trap for Zhang Qiang to get in, and he just didn't want to take responsibility.
Or, this was originally a project he wanted to introduce, but he was afraid that Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang would object, so he deliberately pretended to be retreating in order to advance.
Chen Yan was somewhat right. However, she may never understand that as a time traveler from later generations who is well aware of the dangers of environmental pollution, Zhou Nan is sincerely unwilling to start some industries that cause pollution.
High energy consumption projects. This is definitely not hypocritical.
However, for economic development, he has no choice. To develop, you have to pay a price. If Ningshan County, a poor county, wants to truly develop, it must develop industrial projects. Without an industrial foundation, relying only on the tertiary industry, development will be passive.
of water.
What Zhou Nan can do is to ensure a balance between development and environment as much as possible within the scope of his power.
…
…
"Recently, I heard that Mengjiawan City has launched many industrial chemical projects. Tianye County, which is adjacent to us, actually launched three chemical projects in a row in the second half of last year."
"Investment promotion in other regions is in full swing, which puts a lot of pressure on us."
"We have been wearing the label of poor county for many years, should we continue to wear it?" Zhang Qiang was slightly excited, raised his hand and said loudly.
Zhou Nan smiled and said, "Secretary Zhang, in fact, many places are rushing to declare national-level poverty-stricken counties... With the label of poverty-stricken county, you can win a lot of financial subsidies... The central government now has a lot of special poverty alleviation funds.
Where’s the appropriation!”
Zhang Qiang shook his head, "We don't want subsidies, and we expect that this kind of subsidies can make us rich? Can it develop urban construction, improve public welfare, and enable people to live a well-off life? No!"
"Secretary Chen, every time I go to the countryside and see how miserable the people in the old district are, I feel uncomfortable! I have been in Ningshan County for seven or eight years, and I have been the county party secretary for five or six years, but I have never let Ningshan
The economy has improved somewhat, and I feel really ashamed!"
Zhang Qiang sighed, and Chen Yan smiled, "Comrade Zhang Qiang can be a competent parent official if he has such thoughts. The reason why poor areas are poor and cannot develop economically is due to various factors. This may require the collective efforts of several generations.
Only through hard work can we solve the problem. The municipal party committee recognizes the work of Comrade Zhang Qiang and other comrades in the county."
Chen Dong sat there and sneered secretly in his heart, thinking that Zhang Qiang was so good at acting... Do you really think he is Zhang Qingtian? He only wants to do practical things for the people? What nonsense, he just wants to get promoted and leave this ghost place quickly.
.
After going on and on, the topic came to this afternoon's meeting. Zhou Nan heard that several people from the engineering project department did not pay attention to the meeting convened by the county committee, so he followed Zhang Qiang's words and said, "Secretary Zhang, isn't it?
I didn't make it clear to them in the phone notification... It shouldn't be like this."
Zhang Qiang hadn't spoken yet. Chen Dong, who had been silent there, smiled coldly and interjected, "I called twice to inform them. I repeatedly asked the comrades in the reception office to emphasize to them that this meeting is very important.
The leaders of the municipal party committee want to attend in person... But what is the result? People in these companies are too arrogant and arrogant, and now they no longer take the county party committee and county government seriously!"
"Having said this, I have to say a few words. The people who are responsible for these projects in the county are relying on investors and are arrogant in every aspect. They will ask the county for excessive conditions whether they come or not. They will ask for this and ask for it at every turn.
That...I think this has something to do with Comrade Zhou Nan being too indulgent!"
"Yes, we are a poor county. We need investment and economic development, but there is a limit to everything. When we attract investment, we do not attract ancestors. We cannot worship them like worshiping Bodhisattvas and give them such a sense of placelessness.
The stinking problem of the party committee and government!”
Chen Dong's words contained deep emotions.
As soon as he said these words, Zhou Nan was stunned, Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang's faces darkened, Chen Yan glanced at Chen Dong with disappointment, and couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Adou, who can't afford it... Compared with Zhou Nan, Chen Dong's magnanimity, demeanor, ability and skills are really not that bad!
At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly understood why Chen Dong, an "old leader" who had been operating in the county for many years, was no match for Zhou Nan, a migrant and young man. It wasn't that Zhou Nan was too "arrogant", but that Chen Dong was too stupid.
Don't say that this is not the case. Even if it is true, you cannot say it openly, especially in front of your superiors. By saying this, you are obviously belittling Zhou Nan and finding fault with Zhou Nan. In fact, you are
He hit a large area with the stick and scolded both Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang.
Investment promotion is a collective decision-making decision of the entire county committee and county government. Although these companies were introduced by Zhou Nan, this is Zhou Nan's official behavior on behalf of the county committee and county government, and it is not Zhou Nan's private work...
They have done so much work in the early stage, and you are going to completely deny it with just one sentence? What qualifications do you have? Why do you have it? What contribution have you made to the county?!!!
The more Zhang Qiang thought about it, the angrier he became. If it wasn't in front of Chen Yan, he would definitely explode on the spot.
This person has no brains, no ability, and no grace. Sun Xiang also glanced at Chen Dong unhappily, and his evaluation of Chen Dong instantly dropped to the lowest level.
Zhou Nan sneered in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "To be honest, I don't agree with Comrade Chen Dong's words. These investors in the county are all big companies, very standardized and powerful big companies, and the people in the project department
They are all very qualified. Several managers of Sky Group’s Ningshan Company all have a bachelor’s degree at least, and two of them are high-level talents who have returned from studying in the UK...”
"Let me tell you something Comrade Chen Dong doesn't like to hear. If people come to invest in the county, they have a certain original intention of helping the old revolutionary areas to develop their economy... If they value economic benefits, how can they come to invest in us?...
"
"As for saying that I condone it, that's even more outrageous. Haha, Comrade Chen Dong, we can joke around in private, but as local party and government leaders, we can't say such things outside."
Zhou Nan smiled softly and stopped there, saying no more. After all, in front of the superior leaders, it was not good to embarrass Chen Dong too much. This would not only appear that the county leaders were not united, but also appear to have no personal qualities.
But Chen Dong feels very aggrieved and angry that the people in the company did not give him face this afternoon. The anger in his heart has been accumulated to this day. Once he starts to vent, how can he stop it?
"Oh? According to Comrade Zhou Nan, these companies are here to do charity in our county? In that case, why are they still asking for preferential policies from the county and city? Sky Group also proposed to be tax-free within three years. It's really
The lion is opening his mouth... Helping the old revolutionary areas may sound grand, but in fact it is just a cover to fool people."
Chen Dong's voice was full of sarcasm.
When Zhou Nan saw that Chen Dong was trying to push forward every step of the way, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. He thought to himself, I don't want to be acquainted with you for the sake of the overall situation, but you are still trying to get into trouble?
Since you have no shame in giving face - then don’t ask for this face!
"It is precisely because our investment environment is immature and various infrastructures are very backward. Therefore, in order to reduce investment costs and avoid greater losses, other companies have proposed to strive for some preferential policies. What is wrong with this? Besides, investment promotion gives
It is a common practice for enterprises to have a considerable degree of preferential policies, and this is done everywhere, not just in Ningnan and Ningshan."
"It seems that Comrade Chen Dong has forgotten why Sky Group was willing to scrap this project a few years ago, letting tens of millions of investments go to waste and then stop work and leave."
"Why? Because if you continue to invest, you need to keep investing, and the returns will not be visible for at least three years. If it were not to help the economic development of old areas, as an enterprise, would you suffer such a loss? People
Are you willing to do this kind of unprofitable business?"
"The three-year tax exemption policy was proposed by the county a long time ago. Secretary Zhang and I were both present at the time..." Zhou Nan smiled coldly, and then the cold-faced Zhang Qiang suddenly interjected, "This is my final decision.
, was also discussed and approved at the County Party Committee Standing Committee. Three years of tax exemption is not excessive. It is not uncommon for other regions to provide lifetime tax exemption for imported enterprises, let alone three years of tax exemption."
"Secretary Zhang is right. Three years of tax exemption is a common practice. These three years are a difficult start-up period for enterprises. As a local government, we have the responsibility to help enterprises overcome this difficulty. Moreover, the construction of this project
and operation, it will stimulate the economic development of the entire county, and it will at least solve the employment problem of hundreds of people!"
"After the logistics park is put into operation and merchants from all over the country settle in, how much tax revenue, goods flow and people consumption will be brought to the county? We have exempted other people from taxes for three years and got more. Comrade Chen Dong can't help but think about this account.
Can you count?"
"So, at the city's economic work summary meeting two years ago, Secretary Feng of the municipal party committee praised investors represented by Sky Group for making great sacrifices in order to help the economic development of old revolutionary areas..."
"Mayor Ma also emphasized at the meeting that the city's party committees and governments at all levels must serve enterprises wholeheartedly and escort the city's economic development..."
Zhou Nan changed his words and his voice became extremely cold, "Why did it come to Comrade Chen Dong's mouth and become a fool? Using tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds to fool people? As party members and leading cadres, we can't speak.
Be responsible!”
Zhou Nan is so awesome, he managed to get Chen Dong in with just a few words! Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang looked at each other, with a bit of smile in their eyes.
Chen Yan, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, shook her head feebly, looking at Chen Dong with even more disappointment, and even a hint of disgust in her eyes.
At this point, Chen Yan was speechless.
Zhou Nan had already taken the initiative to stop the fight, but Chen Dong didn't understand the current situation and continued to provoke the fight. Let's just fight. He is not his opponent. He can't even say something to the point.
Let Zhou Nan come around.
Chen Dong felt a sudden change in his heart, knowing that he had made a mistake.
For Sky Group, the leaders of the municipal party committee have already made "qualitative" and positive comments, setting it up as a model to help the economic development of old revolutionary areas. "Ningnan Daily" also did a special page on Sky Group and Ningshan County Market Logistics Project
.Now that you are saying this, aren’t you going against the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao?
Chen Dong's lips trembled, he was speechless for a moment, and his face turned a little pale.
Zhou Nan glanced at him disdainfully, turned to Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang and smiled, "Two leaders, I don't think there is any need to convene a special meeting. In the name of the county committee and county government, send a notice to each project department, asking them to do a good job
Just prepare for the inspection by the provincial party committee leaders."
Zhang Qiang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Chen Yan asking for instructions. Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said loudly, "No, it's better to hold a mobilization meeting. I think this way, Comrade Zhou Nan is familiar with the situation, and you can take the lead in mobilizing
Let’s ask people from the enterprise to rush over as soon as possible. There is still some time, so hurry up sooner rather than later. Let’s hold a meeting as soon as possible to convey the spirit of the instructions of the municipal party committee and government.”
Chen Dong's face suddenly became ugly.
Chen Yan said this, which was equivalent to once again "depriving" him of the right to participate in this work. From recommending him to "exempting" him, it took less than two hours, which seemed to be too fast.
…
After saying that, Chen Yan raised her wrist and looked at her watch, "It's only four o'clock, there is still time. Comrade Zhou Nan, hurry up and implement it. Comrade Zhang Qiang, Comrade Sun Xiang and I will go to the county party committee reception office to have a look, and we will have a meeting when we come back!"
After saying that, Chen Yan suddenly stood up and strode towards the door.
Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang quickly followed, and Zhou Nan also smiled lightly and walked out. Before going out, he turned around and glanced at Chen Dong with a cold look, intentionally or unintentionally. The condescending and indifferent smile floating on the corner of his mouth made him
Chen Dong almost went crazy looking at it.
Only Chen Dong was left in the empty reception room, standing there with his face turning green and white, and his shoulders trembling slightly.
