Volume 20: Looking at the World with Cold Eyes, Section 25
"Secretary Xia, among these two positions, which one do you think is the main one and which one is the subordinate position?" This is the question that Lu Weimin is most concerned about, and it is also a problem that has always been lingering in his mind.
Xia Lixing pondered for a moment, and probably felt that this question was not easy to answer. The most important thing was that Lu Weimin had been working at the local level. It could be said that he had no foundation at all in the central ministries and commissions, and he had no basis for judging the direction.
If we simply look at Lu Weimin’s economic work in Landao in Changjiang and the work of “Blue Island under the rule of law” that he promoted, the deputy director of the Central Policy Research Office is undoubtedly in a dominant position, and the appointment of central government documents is also arranged in this way.
But Xia Lixing always felt that it was not that simple.
Because if you really value Lu Weimin's ability in this area, giving Lu Weimin the position of deputy director of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee would seem a bit redundant, and even superfluous. The central government cannot fail to take this into consideration.
Since Lu Weimin is to be given the position of deputy director of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, there must be some direction and intention.
At first glance, the responsibilities and tasks of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee are a bit superficial, and they are not closely intertwined with the work of other domestic ministries and commissions. Therefore, giving Lu Weimin this position shows that this position has profound meaning. Xia Lixing feels that it may even be very important, not less.
The weight of the Central Policy Research Office over there.
"For the people, I'm not sure about this question, so I can't answer you. I can't give you a clear answer, so as not to mislead you. But I think the position of deputy director of the Central Policy Research Office speaks for itself. The role of this position
There is no need to say much about the weight, and the position of deputy director of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee may be considered redundant by others, but I don’t think so. You can weigh it yourself. I
I judge that the central government may intend to put you in charge of taking the lead in studying how to combine some of the national foreign strategy policies with our country's strategy of going global." Xia Lixing said word by word: "You remember?
When you were studying at the Central Party School, did you make any suggestions or opinions on the acquisition of Westinghouse Electric by Shanghai Electric and Heihe Electric in conjunction with General Electric?"
Lu Weimin nodded but said nothing. He knew that Xia Lixing still had something to say.
"Zhao Ye is a person worth getting to know." Xia Lixing paused, "He mentioned on many occasions the contribution of Shanghai Electric and Heihe Electric in joining forces with General Electric to acquire Westinghouse Electric. Well, I remember at least two
Each member of the Standing Committee asked me about this matter. Firstly, it was because I was still a state-owned enterprise at that time.
Chairman, secondly, they may also know that you once worked as my secretary. So they also asked about some information, and I also introduced it. I guess Zhao Ye should have also discussed your role in this matter in detail in front of these leaders.
performance, so I think you left a deep impression on the leader in this matter."
"Going global for state-owned enterprises has always been a big topic. We have been talking about the strategy of going global for many years. However, some have made little noise, while others have gone out and fallen into the sand, like Shanghai Electric and Heihe Electric.
It was a steady move, although some people regretted that Shanghai Electric and Heihe Electric joined forces with General Electric of the United States instead of
We can completely capture Westinghouse Electric, but everyone in the industry knows very well that if we don’t join forces with ge, we will never be able to capture Westinghouse Electric, and our domestic nuclear power technology will not be able to make great progress through digestion and absorption in the past few years.
progress, China is now under considerable pressure at the International Climate Change Conference. The development of clean energy is
The general trend is, so the development of nuclear power is expected to usher in a climax, so the merger and acquisition case of Shanghai Electric and Heihe Electric has been highly praised by the central government, which will give you a lot of points." Xia Lixing continued: "At present,
The international and domestic situation is complex. How can we realize our country's economy going abroad and making friends while also contributing to
Our domestic industries occupy the market and deliver production capacity, use our economic influence to realize our strategic layout, create a better international space environment for the country, and resist the squeeze of Western countries led by the United States. There is a lot of work to be done, we
I think the central government may have asked you to transfer you from Landao to Beijing so suddenly based on this."
Xia Lixing's judgment is similar to Lu Weimin's own speculation. The central government's decision to transfer him to Beijing to serve in the Central Policy Research Office and the International Department of the CPC Central Committee was not a momentary consideration. It should be a decision made after careful consideration and an examination of his performance in recent years.
, it’s not just about my achievements in Blue Island, it’s just that this step is too high, which makes me a little bit unable to sit still.
Seeing that Lu Weimin's expression was a little gloomy, Xia Lixing also knew that Lu Weimin must be a little stressed. He patted him on the shoulder: "Weimin, don't think too much. Since the matter is a done deal, just face it calmly. I believe you can do a good job, Lan Dao."
With such a big stall, I was a little worried about you at the time, but it turns out that you can manage a big country like a small dish with ease, and you have done it. I believe you can do a good job in your new position."
The person responsible for talking to Lu Weimin was Ye Qiaoshan, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China.
Ye Qiaoshan attached great importance to this conversation. For a young cadre who had just turned 41 to enter the field of vision of the central leadership, he was even placed in the position of deputy director of the Central Policy Research Office, and also served as deputy director of the International Department of the Central Committee. This was
It was an unprecedented first time, so he couldn't help but ignore it.
This unprecedented situation does not refer to holding dual positions, but refers to the exception of local cadres directly entering the Central Policy Research Office to assume leadership positions, and the exception of local cadres entering the International Department of the CPC Central Committee to serve as department leaders. In other words, it does not count as a part-time job. Lu Weimin broke the rule
Two precedents, can be called the first.
Before the conversation, Ye Qiaoshan carefully considered Lu Weimin's resume in detail. At the same time, he also carefully read the inspection reviews of Lu Weimin at various stages by organizational departments at all levels over the years, trying to understand the growth trajectory of this cadre.
The fact that a 41-year-old cadre has reached this position cannot be summarized in a simple sentence or two. There must be reasons and reasons for his success.
Ye Qiaoshan noticed an evaluation, which was given to Lu Weimin at almost every stage. He has a broad vision, clear thinking, strong sense of innovation, and can pioneer work. These evaluations were given to Lu Weimin at every stage. This is very capable.
Explain the problem.
"Ye Bu, Director Lu is here." The secretary came in and reminded Ye Qiaoshan in a low voice.
"Okay, invite him to come in and go to the small reception room next door." Ye Qiaoshan nodded and stood up, picked up the notebook in his hand, "Invite Director Ma of the First Bureau and Director Yang of the General Office to come over too."
Lu Weimin was taken to the small reception room and looked around. It was simple and generous.
This was the first time for him to enjoy this honor. In the past, people from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China came to talk to local governments. Whether he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Changjiang Provincial Committee or moved to Qilu or even Landao, he had not yet come to the ministry seriously.
conversation.
"Here comes Weimin." Ye Qiaoshan greeted Lu Weimin with a smile as soon as he entered the door and saw Lu Weimin standing in the room looking at him.
"Ye Bu, you're not late, are you?" Lu Weimin was also generous and took the initiative to shake hands with Ye Qiaoshan, "I took advantage of this free time to go back to my hometown to visit my parents, and I was delayed for a while."
"It should be." Ye Qiaoshan nodded, "Weimin's family is from the 195 factory, right? Maybe Weimin doesn't know, but my family is also engaged in aviation. My parents are in the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. I also worked in Shenyang Fei, and I was later transferred to
The Third Aircraft Department at that time was abolished in 1982 and the Aerospace Department was established. I was transferred out of the aviation department and said that we still have some relationship."
"Oh?" Lu Weimin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ye Qiaoshan to have such a fate with the aviation industry. No matter what the other party's purpose was, it at least brought the two parties closer. "I didn't expect that Ye Qiaoshan's family was also engaged in airplanes, and he was also in Shenzhou.
Worked on flying.”
"That was decades ago, and I have been working in the organization department most of the time." Ye Qiaoshan shook his head, "The knowledge I learned in the past has long been forgotten."
"Well, aviation technology is changing with each passing day now. If you don't practice for three days, the knowledge structure is indeed updated very quickly. I went back to Changzhou a few days ago and happened to meet Director Guo. I called him Uncle Guo. He went to inspect Factory 195, so it was also
After talking for a long time, I still felt very pleased and excited to hear him introduce the development of our domestic aviation industry." Lu Weimin said obediently.
"Oh, by the way, Lao Guo also came from Factory 195. Factory 195 produces talents." Ye Qiaoshan's eyes lit up, "I'll call Lao Guo up sometime and sit with us."
Lu Weimin also didn't expect Ye Qiaoshan to be so enthusiastic. As the executive deputy director of the Organization Department, he thought that the other party should be very reserved and steady, but he didn't expect that the other party would be enthusiastic and charming in his conversation, making it easy for people to let go of their guard.
The closer distance made him feel a little flattered.
"Ye Bu, of course that's good. Why don't I do the favor and ask Ye Bu and Uncle Guo to sit down for a while." Of course Lu Weimin followed the stick and immediately agreed, "Let's see what you think is suitable, Ye Bu."
Ye Qiaoshan laughed and said, "Okay, you just came back. Which turn will you get? We'll see when the time comes. I'll make arrangements."
Finally added it, and I am confident in asking for votes and support! (To be continued.)
