"It's very bitter." Huang Wenxu took a sip of coffee, with a smile on his lips, "I believe many people will feel it's very bitter."

"I thought you thought the coffee tasted bitter." Lu Weimin smiled and shook his head, "If the coffee at Tianzi Club is also called a parallel product, it would be a sign."

"The bitter coffee does not mean it is a parallel product. Secretary Lu, it seems that you are not an expert in this thing," Huang Wenxu laughed.

"It's just art, but the Chinese people's understanding of this thing has not been long. At least I am the one who is a substitute." Lu Weimin shook his head, "The situation in Changzhou this year is not optimistic. Isn't Mayor Mao very much pressure?"

"It's not just Mayor Mao's pressure, but Secretary Peng is also under great pressure." Huang Wenxu sighed, "It is said that at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Rong and Governor Du criticized Changzhou very tactfully, believing that Changzhou is now a stagnant pool, lacking vitality and creativity, and following the steps, unable to find a growth point, and repeatedly comparing Songzhou, which made Secretary Peng a little embarrassed."

"Can't this be like this? Isn't this the reason for our Songzhou? Songzhou has the characteristics of Songzhou and Changzhou has the difficulties of Changzhou. How can this be confused?" Lu Weimin was a little uneasy. Peng Haibo was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, while Mao Dao'an had a good personal relationship with him. If he had to do this, he was afraid that he would get divorced when he met in the future.

"Secretary Lu, it is undeniable that two years ago, Songzhou's GDP was slightly lower than Changzhou. But now, Songzhou exceeded Changzhou's 30 billion last year, while Songzhou's GDP exceeded 80 billion in the first half of this year. Changzhou's GDP exceeded 40 billion, less than half of Songzhou. In other words, in 2005, the total economic output of Changzhou was even less than half of Songzhou. Such a huge gap is really just the so-called characteristics and difficulties that can be summed up in one sentence?" Huang Wenxu did not listen to Lu Weimin's perfunctory explanation at all. "The leaders of the provincial party committee are not fools. Will they not see these factors? Are there any objective reasons? There must be some, but what about subjective factors? This will definitely not work, but to be honest, I can't see any signs of improvement in the situation."

Huang Wenxu could only say this in front of Lu Weimin. He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Changzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Organization, and this kind of thing is already a bit out of line.

Lu Weimin is not easy to explain.

It seems that Songzhou has accumulated strength, but it is not true. Songzhou itself has this strength, but after he arrived in Songzhou, he knows the roots and bottom of the situation, and it is just right to trigger the potential of Songzhou. To be honest, even if he does not serve as the Secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee, Songzhou will surpass Changzhou. This is the inertial force formed over the years, which will surpass Changzhou.

To be precise, Changzhou has been weak for a long time, just like a patient who has been indulged in a hospital bed for many years. He has not found the root cause, let alone any good medicine. That is why it became like this. It was just that he went to Songzhou to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, making the trend of Songzhou surpassing Changzhou faster and more obvious.

Now there is a feeling of rebirth of conflicts within the Changzhou Municipal Party Committee. Peng Haibo was determined to take over Du Chongshan's team. So he didn't care much about the work in Changzhou. However, he didn't expect that Fang Guogang took over. Now he has no hope of taking over, so he turned around again. He wanted to intervene in Changzhou's work. Mao Dao'an had some ideas, but now Peng Haibo has re-inserted. There was a conflict immediately. Peng Haibo is the secretary of the municipal party committee and the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. However, Peng Haibo is a foreign cadre and knows nothing about the situation in Changzhou. Therefore, this makes the internal affairs of the municipal party committee and the work is even more difficult to carry out.

In this case, it is really difficult for Changzhou to get rid of the backward situation and cheer up again, so even Huang Wenxu was a little depressed and discouraged. Although he was not the main leader and it was not his turn to intervene in economic work, the situation in Changzhou was not good, which had a great impact on the mentality and impression of the entire Changzhou cadres. As the Minister of Organization, he was the most able to understand.

Moreover, once the impression of Changzhou in the Changjiang Provincial Party Committee is established, it will inevitably affect the promotion and appointment of Changzhou cadres in the future. Especially Changzhou is a sub-provincial city. The top leaders of districts and counties and municipal agencies are both deputy department-level cadres, and they all need to pass the provincial party committee, which will have a greater impact.

So he really wanted to hear Lu Weimin's view on the current situation, not only because Lu Weimin has outstanding abilities in economic work, but more importantly, Lu Weimin's foresight on many issues has also made Huang Wenxu understand a lot.

"Wenxu, the situation in Changzhou cannot be changed by anyone. As you said, the provincial party committee can definitely see that the conflict between Peng Haibo and Mao Daoan is actually a kind of harm to both of them. Changzhou has been dominant in the province since the past, and has fallen to the present. The growth rate of Kunhu in the first half of this year is not low, and it is further widened from Changzhou. If Changzhou is only defeated by Songzhou, it may be even more reasonable, but if defeated by Kunhu, the provincial party committee is really unable to sit still. It is also necessary to remind Peng Haibo, but how much effect can this play? Peng Haibo's mentality was wrong when he came to Changjiang, or the central government did not consider maturity when arranging this cadre. What kind of arrangement was he going to Changjiang? It was unclear. As a result, it delayed Changzhou and himself, making it unreasonable at this time, and it felt uncomfortable."

In front of Huang Wenxu, Lu Weimin didn't have much obscureness. "I can't evaluate Peng Haibo's ability, but he is a foreign cadre and will definitely not be able to control a big city like Changzhou in a short period of time. When he meets Mao Daoan, he is also a person who is unwilling to compromise. This is really difficult to deal with."

"Secretary Lu, what do you mean is that Changzhou is out of treatment now?" Huang Wenxu sighed again.

"It's not easy to deal with. No matter which person you change, it will be difficult to achieve good results, because no matter which one you change, the new recruits are facing the same situation as they are now. It is not so easy to get in." Lu Weimin glanced at Huang Wenxu, "If both people change, Peng and Mao have not served for a long time, which means that the central government's adjustment in Changzhou personnel is immature and a failure. Can the central government accept such a result? Isn't this a slap in the face?

Huang Wenxu remained silent. Lu Weimin's analysis and judgment were accurate. Now Peng Haibo and Mao Daoan are constantly in conflict. The two of them have their own groups of people. They also disagree with each other in their work ideas. They are in a tit-for-tat way. If they change to Mao Daoan, then Peng Haibo was not familiar with Changzhou, and another newcomer came, and it took a lot of time to get familiar with it. It was not suitable. If Peng Haibo, Mao Daoan people are familiar with each other. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, they must have a dispute again, just like now.

Of course there is another option, which is to transfer Peng Haibo and promote Mao Daoan to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

But this choice only exists in theory. The current situation in Changzhou is so bad. Peng Haibo and Mao Daoan are both responsible. The transfer of Peng Haibo but the promotion of Mao Daoan to Secretary is undoubtedly a hit on Peng Haibo alone. This is not appropriate. Moreover, whether Mao Daoan can shoulder this burden is now doubtful. What if Mao Daoan is not good? Changzhou seems to be unable to withstand such toss and turns.

"Okay, Wenxu, don't think so much. My judgment is that the Central Committee will not move the Changzhou team for the time being. After all, their teamwork is still short, so you can observe it again. It's not appropriate to act rashly and lightly. Just be your organization minister. The situation in Changzhou City is not optimistic, and it will also be reflected in the cadres of Changzhou. You can understand the situation of Changzhou cadres thoroughly. When the leaders need it, you can do it easily according to the actual situation and arrange the right people in the right position."

Lu Weimin's words made Huang Wenxu sigh, "What else can happen? I just feel a little unwilling to do it. I thought I could do something well in Changzhou, but now this situation makes people very frustrated. You feel that you don't have the fighting spirit when you work, but you still feel that you were even more energetic in Fengzhou back then."

By the time Lu Weimin's 20-day work was basically over, Lu Weimin had completed his investigation of 12 districts and counties in the city, including the Economic and Technological Development Zone. He also selected multiple bureaus such as transportation, land, construction, public security, finance, water conservancy, culture, education, etc., and also inspected the preliminary preparations for the Songkun Expressway, the Songzhou Port expansion site, the construction site of the western section of the Second Ring Road, the Songzhou-Jiangzhou-Zekou Expressway construction site and other key construction projects in the city.

It can be said that after this round, Lu Weimin has basically understood the development trend of the city this year. When he left Songzhou to go to Beijing, it was difficult for Lu Weimin to clearly express his satisfaction with the development of Songzhou in the year when he exchanged opinions with Qin Baohua. Of course, he also gave Qin Baohua several opinions and suggested that the city should move as soon as possible.

Like Changjiang University, the construction of the Songzhou branch of the University of Science and Technology of China is a long-term plan. Lu Weimin had already connected with Cao Lang and the Chinese Academy of Sciences when he was in Beijing. He was willing to provide convenience for the construction of the branch of the University of Science and Technology of China with the best conditions. He welcomed the establishment of the branch of the University of Science and Technology in Songzhou.
