Volume Fourteen: Prettier and Competitive Spring Section 5 This is the most urgent task for you and me!
"I know many people are thinking, how can we compare with people in Zhejiang? That's Zhejiang, we are in Changjiang, so how can we compare? We Changjiang people are naturally shorter than people in Zhejiang," Lu Weimin said.
He deliberately raised his voice a little higher, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His slightly sarcastic tone made many people present feel a little embarrassed, because Lu Weimin said exactly what they were thinking. They had never dared to compare with Kezhou, their neighbor to the east.
Thoughts, I feel that they are all out of reach.
Zhang Tianhao had a smile on his lips. This guy is interesting. He has a good way of sarcasm. The group of people sitting below should really be beaten. There is really a lack of a leader in the prefectural committee and the administrative office who dares to criticize these people so unscrupulously.
Of course, I can do it, but as the leader, sometimes I have to consider morale and spirit. Now that Lu Weimin is here to play bad guy, it is a good result.
"Let's compare our Fengzhou with our neighbor Kezhou to the east. In fact, in the 1980s, Kezhou was not much better than our Fengzhou. But after entering the 1990s, Zhejiang's economy began to take off rapidly. Everyone here is
First-level leaders know very well that the resources of Zhejiang Province are not at the same level as those of Changjiang. Moreover, in terms of industrial base, Zhejiang Province is not ranked at all in the country. However, in the reform and opening up,
In just twenty years, the economy of Zhejiang Province has taken off as quickly as wings. What does it rely on? Do they have resources such as oil, iron, coal, copper, and gas? No, do they have a strong industrial base? No.
, especially in relatively remote areas like Kezhou in Zhejiang Province. It can be said that they have nothing like our Fengzhou, and the natural conditions in Kezhou are worse than our Fengzhou. These are all obvious to us.
Yes, then why can Kezhou develop rapidly?"
Lu Weimin's tone was slightly raised and his eyes were cold as he looked down.
"I would also like to add that Kezhou may be very wealthy and developed in our eyes, but in Zhejiang Province, Kezhou has always been among the bottom one or two in the province, whether in terms of total economic output or per capita GDP.
Ranked at the bottom, this means that Kezhou is unattainable in our eyes, but in fact, in the minds of other cities in Zhejiang Province, they are equivalent to our Fengzhou in the minds of other cities in Changjiang. To put it another way.
The lowest ranks in Zhejiang Province are what we need to look up to when we see them in Fengzhou!"
Lu Weimin's language became more and more sharp, and his eyes were fixed on the place in the middle of the front, "Old Lu, now the Kefeng Highway has been repaired a long time ago, but I have never walked on this highway. Please tell me how long it takes to get from your Guqing to Kezhou.
How long?"
Sitting directly in front of Lu Weimin is Lu Teng, secretary of the Guqing County Party Committee. After Pan Xiaofang served as deputy commissioner of the administrative office, he came from the regional finance director to serve as secretary of the Guqing County Party Committee. He and Lu Weimin are also considered acquaintances. Jiang Bingling used to be in the Finance Bureau.
At work, I also had some interactions.
Lu Teng didn't expect that Lu Weimin would suddenly throw the topic to him. He was stunned for a moment and then immediately replied: "Two hours, if you drive faster, you can get there in one hour and forty minutes."
"Well, Secretary Lu is very accurate. If you drive your Buick, Accord, or Passat, you can get there in about a hundred minutes. I guess Kefeng Highway is very busy now. We transport a lot of coal from Guqing to Kefeng.
Kezhou is the main source of coal supply for Kezhou Power Plant, right? Compared with Fengzhou, Kezhou has less abundant land resources than we do, water resources are further behind us, and basic transportation conditions are not as good as ours. At least we still have Beijing-Kowloon.
Railways, and Fengjiang water transportation. Note that I am talking about the original transportation basic conditions, not transportation infrastructure. The mineral resources are not as good as ours in Fengzhou, and the population is only one-third of ours. They also have no large-scale industrial base like us. We
The distance between them is only a hundred minutes' drive. Well, including the distance from Guqing to Fengzhou City, it is more than two hours. But they are stunned that with a population of more than two million, they have created a city that is more than 600 years old than ours.
With a GDP of more than 10,000 people, everyone sitting here is a parent official or the main leader of a department or unit, or the person in charge of the company. Do you feel the heat in your face, do you feel the pressure?"
Lu Weimin's voice sounded higher every time he spoke, and his eyes wandered over the faces of the secretaries and county magistrates in the first row in front. Many people subconsciously wanted to avoid Lu Weimin's gaze, but they did not dare.
"Just now, when Secretary Tianhao and I were talking about the development of Fengzhou, we said that Fengzhou has a small-scale farmer atmosphere where a small amount of wealth means peace, and after several years of steady development, this atmosphere has become stronger and even stronger.
It has become a ridiculous mentality of sitting in a well and looking at the sky to enjoy oneself. Well, our Fengzhou is pretty good. Ten years ago there was no Fengzhou region. Now our Fengzhou has also established a region, even surpassing the original old area of Liyang.
and the nearby industrial city Quyang, we can also look around and be complacent for a while. I think Secretary Tianhao is right. This mentality is quite dangerous and has jeopardized the next development of our Fengzhou!"
Lu Weimin's gaze changed from the coldness before to that of an awl, which stung one's nerves.
"I told Secretary Tianhao that I am not here to praise Fengzhou's achievements. Secretary Tianhao also told me that Fengzhou does not need a commissioner who comes to sing praises, but needs a commissioner who can sober up everyone and pour cold water on them and reflect on themselves correctly.
Secretary Tianhao was training at the Central Committee and saw too many places that were ten times and a hundred times better than ours in Fengzhou. Suzhou is only a few hundred kilometers away from us, with a population of less than 6 million. The rural population still accounts for about 60% of the city's population, but
Last year, GDP exceeded 150 billion, reaching 154 billion, which is ten times more than ours, and fiscal revenue reached 15.8 billion yuan. Haha, it sounds really funny. The population is smaller than ours, and the distance is only a few hundred kilometers.
The fiscal revenue of this city is actually higher than our GDP. Do you think this is incredible?"
Everyone sitting in the audience had mixed feelings. Lu Weimin mentioned Suzhou, which made them feel unacceptable. How can we compare with Suzhou? Can we compare? But Lu Weimin's words are reasonable, why can't we compare?
Dare to compete? What’s wrong with competing? If you don’t even have the courage to compete, how can you pursue it? Not to mention whether you can catch up, at least you have to have the courage and have this goal.
They have never thought about Suzhou, or even the nearby Kezhou. They only think that we can compare with Liyang above and Quyang below. Now our economic aggregate is higher than theirs. It turns out that we are
If you are not as good as them, this is achievement and progress.
But Lu Weimin didn't give them this chance and continued to beat them.
"I know what everyone is thinking. No matter what Lu Weimin says, it's unrealistic. If we compare with Suzhou or Kezhou, we are not from the same province, and we can't compete with them in the province's rankings.
If you don’t worry about that, you can still get wages and bonuses, drink tea and play cards, it’s okay.” Lu Weimin glanced down, “Then I want to tell you, you can stop worrying about ease! Fengzhou will not raise mediocre people.
If you raise lazy people, the people will not want such mediocre and lazy officials. You cannot lead the people to become rich, bulge their pockets, and let them live a better life. Then you have to let people who have the ability and ideas to do it
This is the consensus of Secretary Tianhao and I, and it is also the request of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to our Fengzhou Prefectural Committee Administration. In other words, this is also the request of our Fengzhou Prefectural Committee Administration to the eight counties and cities.
The requirements of the cadres of various departments and units of district and local government agencies!"
Zhang Tianhao noticed that every time Lu Weimin mentioned himself and him, he always referred to him as "Secretary Tianhao and me" instead of "Secretary Tianhao and I". This is a very subtle detail that can explain a lot.
One question, Lu Weimin is no longer the green and immature secretary. He can clearly distinguish the situation and grasp these details, which also shows his maturity. I seem to be looking down on him or looking down on him. Maybe he will be with me.
There will be some disagreements and conflicts at work in the future, but he will never act on impulse or cross the line easily.
This is not only a detail that makes me happy, but it also means that if the other party really decides to confront a certain issue, then he already has enough courage and confidence.
"After talking about the comparisons outside the province for a long time, everyone is still a little murmuring. Let me talk about our province. We will not talk about Changzhou, Kunhu and other cities. We will talk about Liyang and Quyang, which we think we have surpassed.
Well, this is probably the capital that our Fengzhou cadres are so proud of that they can hold their heads high and feel proud even when they go to Liyang and Quyang." Lu Weimin's teasing expression on his lips became even more intense, "Liyang is our old region. Last year's GDP was 14.5 billion.
Quyang, Changjiang Chemical Industry Base, had a GDP of 13.3 billion last year. It seems that we are better than them, but have you noticed that Liyang’s population is only 4.3 million, which is about 2 million less than us. Quyang’s population is only 4.4 million, which is also less than ours.
We are 1.85 million short. You can do the math. In terms of per capita GDP, how much is the difference between us and Liyang and Quyang? Not only is there a gap, but the gap is still huge!"
Lu Weimin's face was stern, and his sarcasm became more intense: "Many people are unbalanced again. Why do you, Lu Weimin, just poke the sore spot? Our economic aggregate is higher than theirs. This is always a fact, right? But last year, China's economic aggregate was more than
Italy and Canada are both higher, but who in the world would think that China is more developed than Canada and Italy? If countries can compare their economic aggregates to find a psychological balance, after all, the competition between countries is comprehensive.
Strength, but we are comparing within a province, we do not have such high consciousness and goals. The most realistic responsibility and goal of our party committee and government is to make the people in our own jurisdiction live better lives and have higher incomes. This is the most urgent thing for you and me.
