Cao Qingtai and Huang Shaotang's secretary Ke Song accompanied Huang Shaotang to the provincial party committee together.

After a long time, Huang Shaotang opened his eyes and said slowly: "Qingtai, how do you feel?"

"I mentioned it with you on the way, and it was all-round backward, and this gap was much bigger than when I went there two years ago. This also proves that the coastal development is getting faster and faster, and we are getting less and less able to catch up, and the Matthew effect is becoming more and more obvious." Cao Qingtai said calmly.

"Which food factory called Wahaha has merged with Hangzhou canning factory, and a school-run enterprise merged with a large state-owned enterprise, but they are as safe as possible. They turned losses into profits in a few months, achieving a win-win situation." Huang Shaotang's eyebrows were a little more thoughtful, "Is this the reason for the talent or the mechanism?"

"I'm afraid it's both, the mechanism is rigid, and even talents may not be able to play a role, and they may even be the same as everyone else."

While explaining, Cao Qingtai was also discussing it in light of the actual situation of the Han capital.

"The Political Research Office also conducted a survey in the early stage. There are many situations in the city similar to the Hangzhou canned factory, but we all took the method of delaying it. The result is that the debt is getting heavier and the finances are overwhelmed, and the workers are full of complaints. The result is that they will eventually hand it over to the government."

"There are also reforms in the Zhucheng area of ​​Qilu. It is said that the State Council Economic and Trade Commission and the Sports Reform Office went to the investigation team. The results have not yet come out, but I heard that they have not stopped." Huang Shaotang rubbed his jaw and pondered: "No stopping means that he is allowed to continue trying, and the movements over there are even more vigorously."

"Secretary Huang, these actions have actually happened a long time ago, but everyone just looked at them selectively. Foreign capital took it for granted. Why do we think that state-owned enterprises must be compared with state-owned enterprises in our own internal mergers and acquisitions?" Cao Qingtai naturally attracted the topic to Handu.

"Well, it's really worth pondering. Some of our comrades' heads just can't turn this corner, or they actually understand it in their hearts for a long time, but they just don't want to reach out and try it." Huang Shaotang sneered: "I took them out this time to let them take a look and feel it. If I still remain indifferent and live a confused life after coming back, it only means that I am not adapting to the situation."

When Huang Shaotang heard the tone of coldness, Cao Qingtai knew that the other party had made up his mind this time.

Just think about it, the central government arranged him to be a secretary in Handu, the leading metropolis in the western part of Handu, and he would definitely not be allowed to live in a stairs and car. It can even be said that being the top leader in Handu is a failure for Huang Shaotang.

He only has one way now, which is to open up the situation in Handu, to make Handu at the forefront of reform and opening up in the entire western region and even the whole country, and to make Handu’s social and economic development at the forefront, so that he can meet the central government’s high expectations for him.

For this reason, if anyone dares to block Huang Shaotang's path, then Huang Shaotang can sweep you into the garbage dump without hesitation.

Those who followed Huang Shaotang to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for inspection and study were all party and government officials from various counties and districts, either secretary or district magistrate, or top leaders of various bureaus and bureaus in the city. The banking station was He Zhongye. I don’t know if He Zhongye felt this different pressure.

The car fell into silence. After a while, Huang Shaotang said again: "Qingtai, last time you mentioned Yintai's Oriental Red Wine Industry is preparing to acquire Yintai County Winery?"

"Well, it seems that Yintai County hopes that the two companies will merge. The county probably thinks that the county winery is a state-owned enterprise and should dominate, but the Dongfang Red Wine Industry is developing in a good momentum now. It is believed that the county winery is on the verge of bankruptcy and insolvent, so it may not be willing." Cao Qingtai said lightly: "Things are probably put aside."

"Hmph, our cadres are still holding on to the old thinking and still blindly emphasizing the special identity of state-owned enterprises. They are about to go bankrupt and cannot put down that level of face." Huang Shaotang shook his head disapprovingly: "My point of view, do a good job in property inventory and asset verification to prevent the loss of state-owned assets, and do not care about who will merge, who has more strength and development potential, and who has stronger market management capabilities, then who will dominate."

"Instead of waiting until the enterprise can't continue and let the government finance pay for it, why not deal with it earlier?" Huang Shaotang continued: "Of course, the more complicated and difficult problems may be one of the more complicated and difficult problems, and the second is the identity and path of state-owned enterprise employees. The former is relatively simple, and it may be more difficult to deal with the latter well, and it also tests the governing ability of our ruling people."

"Secretary Huang was considerate and the most difficult thing was the future of state-owned enterprise employees. To properly handle this issue, institutional things may be needed to guide and guarantee it." Cao Qingtai took the opportunity to say: "I read a merger plan brought out by Oriental Red Wine Industry and found it quite innovative. Well, it mentioned that it was necessary to rely on the social pension insurance system to solve the worries of employees, which is very interesting."

During the inspection, Huang Shaotang heard Cao Qingtai mention the idea of ​​Yintai Oriental Red Wine Industry to merge with the county winery to solve the bankruptcy problem of Yintai County winery, but he didn't care at the time, and even felt that Cao Qingtai was intending to praise his former secretary in front of him.

But after this round of investigation and study, Huang Shaotang felt more and more that reform and opening up in coastal areas had reached the forefront, and was making great strides to shift the inland areas further and further away.

However, in the inland areas, large-scale losses of state-owned enterprises taking Handu as an example are becoming more and more serious. This has become a concern for the party committees and governments in various mainland areas, including the Handu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. So how to solve the problem according to local conditions and in combination with local actual conditions has become an urgent task.

Cao Qingtai proposed that some pilot projects could be chosen to try, regardless of region, field or form. This was recognized by Huang Shaotang before, but it was not as urgent as it was. However, after this trip to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Huang Shaotang felt that it was urgent.

"Well, you can show me the plan tonight, and also learn about it in each district and county to see if there are any new trends and good practices in this regard. One or two pilot projects may not be enough, so you have to try more." Huang Shaotang nodded slightly and looked out the window.

The Crown began to slow down, and the roads close to the city were in complex conditions. Moreover, due to the fact that there were multiple roads gathering in this area to the airport, the order was quite chaotic. If you were not careful, you might get traffic jams. If you were to be stuck in the traffic jam for half an hour or even an hour, Huang Shaotang frowned.

"Qingtai, look, if you are an investor to come to our Handu, what would you think when you first saw this scene?" Huang Shaotang's eyes were calm, "It's better to get off the plane and go into the city. What if they were rushing the plane? If they missed the plane and delayed their business, what would they think? If they wanted to do so, would they have to go out two hours in advance? For business operators, is this a disguised waste of time?"

"Not only that, the situation at the train station may be worse." In front of Huang Shaotang, Cao Qingtai always told the truth, because Huang Shaotang likes this style. "Taxi slaughtering passengers, pickpocketing and fraud are prevalent, which will also cause great damage to our Handu and Hanchuan images, and will also be a huge damage to our investment environment."

Huang Shaotang shook his head and sneered: "There is a long way to go. We Chinese are not only far from the hard environment, but also just started in the soft environment. The huge differences in concepts are often reflected in style and attitude. In this case, how can we compete with coastal areas? Forget it, let's not talk about it. In the evening, you will bring the plan and call Chunming and Lian Zhao. We will study it and dissect the sparrows, and we must also be thoroughly prepared."

Lin Chunming has served as executive vice mayor and no longer serves as organization minister. Huo Lianzhao has temporarily served as organization minister, but has not yet resigned as secretary-general of the municipal party committee. However, Cao Qingtai knew that he had no chance to take over.

My qualifications are still too shallow, and I have been a deputy department-level cadre for too short.

Huang Shaotang has already talked with him and is preparing to let him go down and exercise.

There may be two places where there are: one is the secretary of Xinhu County, and the other is the director of the Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee. The senior party worker of the Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee is also served by Lin Chunming, the executive vice mayor. If he serves as the director of the Management Committee, he is actually responsible for his daily work.

The crown finally slowly squeezed into the city, and it took forty minutes to arrive at the provincial party committee.

Cao Qingtai simply got off the car by himself and took a taxi to go home directly. Huang Shaotang reported to the main leaders of the provincial party committee that he didn't know when he would have to wait. It would be better to go home and take a shower. He probably had to stay up late at night.

As soon as I got home, the phone rang. It was Sha Zhengyang who came.

It was only half past five when Sha Zhengyang arrived at Cao Qingtai's house. Seeing Cao Qingtai wearing an apron and looking like he wanted to cook by himself, Sha Zhengyang smiled: "Director, I'll do it. Your skills cannot be compared with my family's ability."

Cao Qingtai also knew that Sha Zhengyang's father was a chef, so he was not polite, "Okay, then you come, let your sister Xiaofeng try your skills later, otherwise she wouldn't believe it, and she always said that I was bragging for you, but there are only these ingredients, so you can do it."

"Don't worry, although I'm doing it, I've been influenced by it for so long. I'm sure you and Sister Xiaofeng have a lot of praise." Sha Zhengyang took the apron, tied it up, opened the refrigerator directly, and got ready.

Cao Qingtai likes this kind of atmosphere like his family, and he also likes Sha Zhengyang's attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant. He doesn't know how he looked horizontally and vertically at that time, but now he becomes more and more satisfied with the more he looks. The contrast between them is too big.

Thinking of this, Cao Qingtai couldn't help but shake his head. He still had to suffer some setbacks before he could grow up. Whether it was his relationship or his career, after a baptism, Sha Zhengyang matured much faster than he thought.
