Volume 7 Fast Horse and Whip Without Saddle, Section 108, Through the Bottom
Wei Xingxia glanced at Lu Weimin, and the waiter just came to deliver the coffee. Wei Xingxia didn't say anything, and Lu Weimin didn't continue to ask. He knew that the other party might have some concerns, so he didn't ask much.
It was not until the waiter left for a while that Wei Xingxia, who seemed to have figured out something, slowly stirred up the coffee and said thoughtfully: "Can you be satisfied? Fengzhou has developed well this year, but it is still a big gap with other cities, especially Xiliang and Changxi. These two regions with economic conditions that are similar to Fengzhou have left Fengzhou a lot. Don't you Secretary Li have any pressure? Or is he just watching the economic growth rate of the province? But you know, the economic output of the latter few is much stronger than that of your Fengzhou."
It is difficult for Lu Weimin to continue this, but the meaning revealed in Wei Xingxia's words is very clear. There are probably not only one or two people in the province who are not satisfied with the recent situation in Fengzhou.
Shao Jingchuan is probably not very satisfied. As the governor, economic work is the focus. Fengzhou is the third largest city in the province, second only to Changzhou and Songzhou. However, the regional GDP is now the second-last in the province, and the per capita GDP is the last in the province. More importantly, Xiliang, which was originally similar to Fengzhou, has left Fengzhou far behind. How could he be satisfied?
Apart from Shao Jingchuan, I'm afraid the provincial party secretary Tian Haihua will not be satisfied either.
Tian Haihua has been the secretary of the Changjiang Provincial Party Committee for four years, and the next year is the 15th National Congress. It can be said that the development of social and economic undertakings in Changjiang Province will be a key factor in determining whether Tian Haihua, who is in the middle of the year, can go further at the 15th National Congress.
However, Changjiang Province has very unbalanced development. The three traditional backward areas, Xiliang, Fengzhou and Changxi, Xiliang has risen and is closely following Quyang and is about to enter the third echelon.
The remaining two areas, Changxi Prefecture is an ethnic minority area. In addition, the conditions in all aspects are far inferior to other regions, so the development is relatively slow. However, everyone can still accept it in the province, while Fengzhou's development speed is not even as fast as Changxi Prefecture. Although the growth rate accelerated last year, it was still unsatisfactory, which made the province complain about the development of Fengzhou.
If it weren't for Li Zhiyuan's old boss Liu Yunshu who was promoted to deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, I'm afraid that Li Zhiyuan would be under much greater pressure, but even so, Li Zhiyuan was still quite passive. Shao Jingchuan and Dong Zhaoyang's successive visits to Fengzhou were actually a disguised encouragement.
In this case, if Fengzhou has not made any major improvement this year, I am afraid that even Liu Yunshu will find it difficult to protect Li Zhiyuan.
"Brother Wei, we have a saying. Although Fengzhou seems to be better in all aspects than Changxi Prefecture, Changxi Prefecture obviously receives more attention from the province and provides much more policy support. Many projects are directly designated by the province. Our Fengzhou is a bit embarrassing. Many policies have to be obtained by themselves, and the project funds are not much tilted towards us. Hehe, to put it bluntly, we have won the special funds for the Ministry of Transport for Qushuang Highway. The province is not happy and feels that it needs to be a supporting part. Do you think this makes people feel comfortable? Shouldn't the province invest money in our Fengzhou, and we should be self-reliant in everything?"
Lu Weimin's words attracted Wei Xingxia's rebuttal: "For the people, this is wrong. When Fengzhou established the region, the province still gave considerable support. For example, the transformation of provincial highway 315 and the transformation of the second program-controlled telephone exchange system in the region, the province paid for money, and this was not strong enough? And there is a saying that Secretary-General Xia still had some new atmosphere in the past two years of serving as the secretary of the prefectural committee in Fengzhou. For example, the introduction of Changfeng Machinery Factory and the Northern Machinery Factory, and the establishment of the Fengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone were all quite visionary."
"But after Li Zhiyuan became the secretary of the prefectural committee, he lacked some big moves, and all aspects seemed to be a little bit like a car. In fact, you and I know that in places like Fengzhou, where development in all aspects is lagging behind other regions, if you don't have the courage to burn your boats and dare to innovate and become enterprising, how can you catch up with other regions? To give a simple example, just like you are in the **, if you are still like the past, can you ** reach the top economic growth rate in the province?"
Wei Xingxia's words left Lu Weimin speechless, and he also realized that the province's dissatisfaction with Li Zhiyuan had accumulated to a considerable extent. If Li Zhiyuan had not realized this, he was afraid that his own position would be a little uneasy.
Neither Tian Haihua nor Shao Jingchuan would tolerate a mediocre character who has long occupied such an important position as the secretary of the prefectural party committee and delayed the development of a place. They must be responsible for the development of a place and also for their own political future. Even with the help of Liu Yunshu, they may not be able to change the result.
"Brother Wei, isn't the province going to touch on the personnel affairs of Fengzhou?" Lu Weimin joked with a smile.
"I don't know this, nor is it something I should know. But I know that the province is most dissatisfied with the development of Quyang and Fengzhou. This is no secret. It was Songzhou before, but Songzhou has been adjusted. I believe that the main leaders of the Fengzhou Prefectural Committee and the leaders of Quyang are very clear. The key is how to reverse this situation." Wei Xingxia said lightly.
"Songzhou? Songzhou is not counted, right? Didn't Secretary Mei be promoted to deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress?" Lu Weimin said in surprise.
Lu Weimin knew about Quyang's situation. Last year, Quyang's economic growth rate ranked last in the province. There were rumors that the secretary of the Quyang Prefectural Committee and the specialist of the Administrative Office went to the provincial party committee to conduct a special review. When running the Qushuang Highway project, he also heard the cadres in Quyang discussing this issue.
However, the total economic output of Songzhou is not low in the province. Although the development speed has slowed slightly in the past two years, the total volume is still there. The lean camel is larger than the horse. In addition, Songzhou is the second largest city in the province and is also an old prefecture-level city established after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is more than 100,000 more people than Fengzhou. Shang Quanzhi has been transferred to the position of Secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee for so long, but he has never heard of having made too much moves to Songzhou.
"Well, it's hard to say whether Songzhou counts or not now." Wei Xingxia did not continue on this topic anymore, and Lu Weimin was tactful and did not ask again.
"For the people, you have performed very well in **. The boss once mentioned you twice in front of me, saying that Secretary-General Xia knew people with keen eyes and put you on the whetstone of **. After some hardening, you finally let your knife shine with light." Wei Xingxia was also a little envious in his eyes, "Sometimes I wonder if I was a little mistaken when I stayed by my boss."
"Brother Wei, you are born in blessings and don't know how lucky you are. What a good opportunity to stay with Governor Shao. With Governor Shao, you can learn a lot of things that will be difficult to learn in your lifetime. Two or three years later, if you find a suitable replacement, you will have to be the deputy secretary and member of the Standing Committee of a city or city." Lu Weimin comforted with a smile.
"I also know that following the boss is a fate and an opportunity, but seeing you being able to do something with your arms and make a big move according to your intentions, I feel itchy in my heart. Hehe, it feels uncomfortable." Wei Xingxia smiled freely and easily, "Forget it, this is probably just looking at the mountain high. I'd better do my job honestly."
The two chatted for a while, and were in business and in business, Wei Xingxia was very cautious in his words and deeds and did not talk much about the provincial leaders. However, he had no attitude and taboos about matters at the municipal level, and also told a lot of anecdotes. Lu Weimin was quite excited when he heard it.
Time flies very quickly. At five o'clock, Wei Xingxia and Lu Weimin got up and left. Before leaving, Wei Xingxia accidentally mentioned that Cao Gang seemed to be familiar with the new member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Governor Fang Guogang. He met Cao Gang to Fang Guogang's office a few years ago, which made Lu Weimin feel secretly stern.
Fang Guogang was originally the vice governor, in charge of urban construction, land, finance, and commerce. After Dong Zhaoyang served as the Minister of Organization, Fang Guogang still served as the vice governor, but he added a new status and served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
Maintaining a good relationship with people around your leader has such benefits. You can gain many unknown inside stories. Sometimes just a few simple words can give you a clear understanding of your positioning and future work focus.
The province has a poor impression of Fengzhou, which is mainly due to the lack of economic development. The most important thing is the unbalanced development. This means that the focus of this year's work is in the final analysis, except for economic work, and everything must be given to economic work. It is estimated that the first and second leaders of counties like Guqing, Dayuan and Futou will be in trouble.
When Li Zhiyuan couldn't even sit steadily, he probably wouldn't have taken care of so many vines and leaves. Lu Weimin even speculated that after the beginning of the year, who would fall off in Li Zhiyuan's first round of swords?
Cao Gang's dark lines also surprised Lu Weimin. He never expected that Cao Gang would join Fang Guogang. Although Lu Weimin didn't have much deep impression of Fang Guogang, he remembered that Fang Guogang should not be a talent in Fengzhou, but it is hard to say about the Chinese. Relatives are three thousand miles apart, and with the complex relationship between teachers, students, comrades, classmates, and fellow villagers, how can you understand the inside story?
No wonder Cao Gang was able to be the county party secretary in just less than two years as the position of Nantan County Mayor. Although there are reasons for Nantan's economic development, it is estimated that there are more or less factors that Fang Guogang helps to build a bridge here.
