Volume 18, the tide of the heart, the first chapter of miracles, on politics
2005 came so quickly that many people realized that another year had passed before they knew it.
For Songzhou, this year is undoubtedly a boiling year, an exciting year, a year full of hope and confidence. In the past year, Songzhou has undoubtedly achieved the highest economic growth rate.
725% is the highest in the province, and can also be said to be unique in the country. The GDP of 101.9 billion made all the leaders of Changjiang Province breathe a sigh of relief, but also made the leaders of other brother states and cities grit their teeth.
Along with the rapid economic growth, several other data that Lu Weimin attaches great importance to have also produced very good results. The per capita net income of farmers has achieved a growth rate of 462%, and the disposable income of urban residents has achieved a growth rate of 369%.
The growth rate of fixed asset investment reached 178%, and fiscal revenue achieved a 96% growth. Excluding the growth of non-tax revenue, it also achieved an 86% growth. It can be said that Songzhou has delivered a brilliant answer in every aspect.
Among districts and counties, Su Qiao once again made an effort, surpassing Luxi with a GDP of 15.6 billion, regaining the top spot, and becoming the champion of the top ten counties in the province; Luxi followed closely with a GDP of 15.4 billion, still ranking first.
Among the top ten counties in the province, Sui'an ranked third with 14.1 billion, but ranked fifth among the top ten counties in the province.
Judging from this situation, it seems that Sui'an is far behind Su Qiao and Luxi, but Sui'an far surpassed Su Qiao and Luxi in fixed asset investment in 2004, mainly focusing on the solar photovoltaic and silicon industries.
Regarding the industrial fixed asset investment in the park, given that several polysilicon and solar photovoltaic companies in Sui'an will be put into operation in mid-2005, Sui'an's industrial added value will see a surge in growth. Lian Yubo, Zhao Daheng and Chi Feng, etc.
Everyone expects that if no special events occur in 2005, there is a high probability that Sui'an's GDP will exceed that of Su Qiao and Luxi.
"All the data is out?" Hearing the rapid sound of footsteps, Lu Weimin raised his eyes and put down his pen.
"Well, basically everything has come out. Suzhou has more than 340 billion. Landao and Ningbo both have more than 210 billion. Dalian has more than 190 billion, and Foshan has more than 160 billion. These are the ones we are chasing.
The goal is still far away for us." Qin Baohua exhaled a sigh of relief and said with indescribable disappointment: "Kun*shan, known as the strongest county, has a GDP of 43 billion this year, which is nearly three times equivalent to our strongest Su Qiao. It's shocking.
I’m really a little frustrated.”
I originally thought that Songzhou had made a turnaround this year, jumped up, and left Kunhu and Changzhou behind. Songzhou became the real leader of Changjiang. However, after looking at the data of those cities in the coastal areas, Qin Baohua realized
How big is the gap between Songzhou and them?
2004 was a special year. The growth rate of more than 70% can basically be said to be unreplicable. Even if there is a lot of good news this year, Qin Baohua is not sure that the economic growth rate will catch up with last year. After all, GDP exceeds 100 billion.
For an economy like this, it is unrealistic for you to expect a growth rate of 60 to 70% at every turn. Just like Kunhu achieved a growth rate of 28% this year, it would have been possible if it had not been for the miracle of Songzhou.
Standing out from the crowd.
Under such circumstances, Songzhou indeed has a long way to go if it wants to catch up with developed coastal cities.
"Baohua, be content. In 2000, Su*zhou's economic aggregate was more than four times that of ours. Now we are only a little more than three times. Landao was a little more than three times ours, but now, we are only two times."
A little more than twice that, but cities like Suzhou are the cities with the fastest economic development in our domestic coastal areas." Lu Weimin motioned Qin Baohua to sit down. "Of course we cannot be arrogant, but we cannot belittle ourselves either. Now the economic aggregate of a county in Suqiao is
The volume has surpassed that of Chauncey, a state. This is our change and our performance. Eight years ago, we did not have any of the top ten counties, but now? We have four seats. Lucheng also entered the top ten this year, and it is still ninth.
, the championship and runner-up are all ours, aren’t you satisfied?”
"Secretary Lu, of course I know our results, but didn't you ask us not to compete with our brother cities and prefectures in the province? Every time we have a meeting, we must say Su*zhou, Wu*xi, or Landao, Da*
Lian, Ning*Bo, haven’t your words whetted our appetite? Everyone’s horizons have broadened, and their spirits have become higher. Everyone feels that this year is not easy, and they are working hard to turn over, and indeed they have achieved success.
The results are very impressive, but people are not idle. Looking at it, why is the gap still so big, and how long will it take to catch up? I still feel a heavy sense of loss in my heart."
Qin Baohua also laughed. She was not alone in the situation she was talking about. People like Yu Bo and Chi Feng also had it. She always felt that she had left Kunhu and Songzhou far behind, and she was finally making her mark in Changzhou.
, but when I looked around, I saw that I was shrinking my neck again. If someone pulled out at random, they were two or three times my own size. This was too hurtful.
"A sense of loss? Well, if you want to compare it like this, you must have it, but if you go to Changzhou and Kunhu, you will slowly gain envy, jealousy and hatred." Lu Weimin waved his hand, "After all, our foundation is too weak.
Although the catching-up speed is very fast, the development of other companies is not slow. Especially the later the company accumulates more advantageous factors, the harder it is for you to catch up. We must have a strong balance in our own minds and how to control our own mentality.
"
"Secretary Lu, I am really not convinced. Whether it is Suzhou, Wuxi, Dalian, or Landao, I have inspected them all and thought about them carefully. I really don't think so.
Their conditions are much better than ours in Songzhou, especially Suzhou and Wuxi, which are closest to us. What are they better than us in? Transportation? We now have waterways, highways, railways and civil aviation, extending in all directions; regional advantage?
We are located at the junction of Chang'an, Hubei and Anhui and the junction of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River; economic base? Well, this is one, but our current strength is not weak, steel, machinery, textile and clothing, electronics, chemicals, 800,000 tons of ethylene
The finalization of the project also means that our shortcomings in the chemical industry have been completely made up, and this will make the weakest one among our five major sectors become the strongest. The extension of the downstream industrial chain brought about by this project is immeasurable.
It is initially estimated that the output value will be at least 100 billion or more after completion, but the gap between us and them is still so big!"
Qin Baohua's words were full of unwillingness.
The title of Mayor of the First City of Changjiang no longer satisfies her. Even she herself felt that her appetite had been enlarged by Lu Weimin. Her eyes were now only on those developed cities in the coastal areas, or the central cities in the inland areas.
, such as Cheng*du, Wu*han, others are ignored.
What supports her idea is Songzhou's great success in attracting investment over the past year or so, the crazy influx of industrial fixed asset investment, the boom of the Economic Development Zone, and counties like Yehe, Lieshan and even Zicheng that were originally useless.
She also started to speed up, all of which gave her as the mayor more confidence.
If she was still worried about Kunhu's competition at this time last year, now she is really relieved.
Kunhu’s growth rate last year was not low, but it was not at the same level as Songzhou. While Kunhu was still working hard to break through 80 billion, Songzhou had already exceeded 100 billion, and the gap between these two tens of billions was not
It is so easy to make up for it. Although the Chinalco Mengyuan project gave Kunhu some confidence, the perfect ending idea brought about by the finalization of Sinopec’s 800,000-ton ethylene project in December last year gave Qin Baohua sufficient confidence to continue to crush the province of Kunhu.
The largest competitor in the country.
At the end of last year, Lu Weimin discussed with her privately the economic growth rate this year, 50%, with a difference of no more than 10 percentage points. Of course, this mainly means that the downward fluctuation cannot exceed 10 percentage points. If it wants to go up, of course
It’s something we can only hope for, which means that Songzhou’s goal for this year is to achieve a growth rate of no less than 40%.
In Qin Baohua's view, Lu Weimin's line drawing was actually a bit too conservative.
There is no doubt that Sui'an was a dormant year in 2004. The scale of industrial fixed asset investment was the largest, but GDP fell a lot due to Su Qiao and Luxi. Once those large-scale projects are completed and put into operation, they will not only boost industrial added value
, it is also a huge boost to the city's export earnings. Now the city's export earnings are mainly concentrated in textiles and clothing. There are not many exports of electronic products. However, Europe and the United States have huge demand for solar photovoltaic panels and polysilicon, and prices have shown signs of rising.
Once these enterprises are put into production, they may even drive a series of new enterprise investments and expansion of production.
Now Sinopec's 800,000-ton ethylene project will officially start in February. The 46-month construction period is very tight, but its contribution to the output value of the entire Songzhou construction industry cannot be underestimated. The sales of related building materials, steel, machinery and transportation equipment will also be greatly boosted.
It is considerable, and it is also clear that the Songzhou-Kunming Expressway project will be officially started this year, plus the potential effects brought by the Nuotou Airport that has been officially put into use. With this series of positive factors, Qin Baohua does not believe that Songzhou’s economic growth will be this year.
It will be much worse than last year.
The performance of the Economic Development Zone is also a great highlight. Originally, Qin Baohua’s impression of Yu Bo was still somewhat vague, but this year after Yu Bo took over the Economic Development Zone, the changes he brought to the Economic Development Zone were huge. In 2005, the Economic Development Zone
The district has put forward the slogan that the district's GDP should exceed 3 billion, and that the GDP should exceed 5 billion in 2006. This goal is insignificant compared with Su Qiao and Luxi, but we must know that the GDP of the Economic Development Zone in 2002 was not yet
To reach 1 billion, it will grow to 1.5 billion in 2003, double in 2005, and achieve a growth rate of more than 70% in 2006, which is considered to be full of pride. (To be continued)
