Volume Three, Chapter Twelve, Pressure, Determination

A Santana and a Peugeot 505 station wagon slowly drove out of Jinxi Hotel and headed straight to National Highway 316.

When Handu comes to Wanzhou, he takes 316,611 kilometers of national highway and passes through two cities, Anxiang and Yunzhou. The road conditions are average, but Anxiang and Yunzhou are mostly mountainous areas and hilly areas. The roads are circling and zigzag, so the speed cannot be raised. Therefore, usually cadres from Wanzhou and Yunzhou come to Handu for meetings and need to come one day in advance.

Ming Yongchang leaned on the back of the chair and asked after a long time: "Xiangyang, how do you feel?"

"Secretary Lin seems to be quite gentle. I heard that he is from An Xiangxiang Town, but he can't hear the accent at all."

Guo Xiangyang stroked his chin, took out a cigarette, handed it to Ming Yongchang, and then threw it to Qing Zegao, who was on the front passenger seat. Three guns lit the cigarettes and started smoking.

"Yes, I heard that Secretary Lin studied at our Handong Normal University, and he was called Wanzhou Normal University at that time." Qing Zegao also continued, "I asked about Secretary Lin's situation. I felt that he didn't know much about Secretary Lin's living habits. He just said that Secretary Lin was single and his family would not come to Wanzhou."

"Well, what do you think Sha Zhengyang?"

Ming Yongchang naturally didn't have much thought about Lin Chunming. He would definitely have a lot of contact with him when he worked together in the future. Moreover, Lin Chunming was the secretary, and his future work was mainly based on him. However, Sha Zhengyang, who was too young, made him feel a little inaccurate.

"Secretary-General, Sha Zhengyang is too young, right? Isn't he twenty-five? He is at the deputy division level, so shocking, right?" Guo Xiangyang couldn't help but sigh.

He and Qing Zegao are both at the level of the department, but he is fifty this year, and Qing Zegao is fifty-one. These two comparisons make people feel uncomfortable.

"Handu City is a deputy provincial city, so we can't compare. Handu Economic and Technological Development Zone is a deputy department-level unit, and a deputy director is at the level of a department. It is normal for the office director to be at the level of a deputy department-level. However, Sha Zhengyang is indeed too young, and I don't know what the situation is." Ming Yongchang shook his head.

"Sha Zhengyang feels very mature and sophisticated. He doesn't speak much, but he's very careful." Qing Zegao pondered for a moment, "I handed him the address book. He looked at it last year and asked me if there were any changes in the address book. I had all of them, so he asked me to mark out what changes."

"Oh?" Ming Yongchang's expression moved slightly. This detail shows that this person is very meticulous and meticulous in his work.

"I also asked him briefly about some of the situation. He introduced it himself. He said that he used to work in Yintai County, and served as deputy mayor and deputy director of the county development zone management committee." Guo Xiangyang knew what Ming Yongchang wanted to know, but now he could only listen to the other party's self-introduction in a hurry.

"Oh? He has worked in the township? He has been working for several years." Ming Yongchang was even more surprised.

This guy is only 24 or 25 years old. How did he climb to the deputy department level? He also served as deputy director of the county-level development zone of the deputy town mayor?

Ming Yongchang has always doubted whether this is Lin Chunming's former secretary. He probably worked in the Han Urban Committee Office, so he started very well and then got a deputy department-level position. Unexpectedly, he started working from a township. How many years has he worked?

"He said, I graduated from Hanchuan University in 1990, for three years." Guo Xiangyang smiled bitterly, "I can't ask in depth. Even if I am a secretary for provincial leaders, it may not be so fast, right?"

"This is so interesting." Ming Yongchang became more and more curious. Sha Zhengyang really aroused his interest successfully, and his two colleagues were probably very shocked and curious.

"What's wrong? If you say he was a secretary to Secretary Ma of the Provincial Party Committee, I believe it." Qing Zegao also smiled mockingly: "How could Secretary Ma's secretary be the director of the office in Han Metro Economic and Technological Development Zone? So only Sha Zhengyang himself can explain the situation clearly."

"Forget it, I won't discuss these things anymore. Since Secretary Lin has no more explanations, let's give a reward to Mayor Feng and Secretary Tang after we go back and wait for Secretary Lin."

Ming Yongchang decisively interrupted the topic and began to close his eyes and rest. There was still eight or nine hours on the way. He had to get home at Anxiang at noon and dinner at Yunzhou.

****

After seeing off Ming Yongchang and his group, Lin Chunming and Sha Zhengyang did not leave immediately, but walked around the small garden behind Jinxi Hotel.

"Ming Yongchang and I told you that you are the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office and are temporarily responsible for my secretary work, and strive to set up a suitable secretary for me within one month."

From the first moment he came into contact with Ming Yongchang, Lin Chunming had already taken the initiative to enter the role of i-Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

"Okay." Sha Zhengyang had long anticipated this arrangement. He could not serve as a secretary for a long time. Lin Chunming did not need a secretary like himself, and he had more responsibilities.

Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, the work of external communication will be very important in the future. Lin Chunming is not familiar with the situation in Wanzhou, so many situations need to be taken from his own side, especially when you need to understand the situation in the entire Wanzhou city from a relatively objective perspective, which is the most urgent thing at present.

What Lin Chunming needs most now is to grasp and understand the social and economic development of the entire Wanzhou city in the shortest time. The most important one is to have a clear understanding of the situation of Wanzhou cadres.

Of course, Lin Chunming must have his own way to understand and be familiar with it, but he must also help him grasp the situation from another perspective. Only by obtaining the situation from multiple angles to summarize and analyze can he obtain a more objective judgment.

"The next step is to understand the familiar situation. Zhengyang, you need to consider it and take out a comprehensive information as comprehensive as possible. I believe that there should be such things on the Wanzhou Municipal Party Committee Office, but I am worried that if I can't see some things I want to see on paper,..."

Lin Chunming did not hide his worries.

"The situation in Wanzhou has not been very good in recent years, and the team is also somewhat controversial, which has greatly restricted the development of Wanzhou's economy. I have checked that since 1987, Wanzhou's economic growth rate has been ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the province, and it has no characteristics in industrial cultivation. Whether it is the per capita disposable income of urban residents and the per capita net income of farmers, the growth rate of the per capita is lower than the average level of the province..."

Lin Chunming also obviously realized that it was difficult to be the secretary of the municipal party committee. He probably should have had a general understanding of the situation in Wanzhou yesterday and felt the pressure.

"Wanzhou's population base is too large, especially the agricultural population, which is one of the few ordinary prefecture-level cities in the country with a registered population of over 10 million. However, from the perspective of the population in the central urban area alone, it is less than 10%. This shows that Wanzhou's urbanization and industrialization process are extremely backward. A large number of laborers either stay in the countryside and do nothing, or go to coastal areas and big cities to become cheap labor in the outer areas. This situation is particularly unfavorable to the long-term development of the central and western regions."

Sha Zhengyang was so sharp that even though Lin Chunming had already been accustomed to Sha Zhengyang's endless novel opinions, he was still a little shocked, because this view was obviously not something that could be obtained at once, but was analyzing the current situation in Wanzhou.

In fact, Lin Chunming overestimated Sha Zhengyang. This argument can be seen everywhere on the Internet twenty years later, but at this time it appears to be a bit profound and insightful.

"After all, the industry in Wanzhou is still developing too slowly." Lin Chunming's eyebrows were jumping with a strong aura, and he was under great pressure, but his gentle tenacity was even more prominent.

"Wanzhou must develop an industrial economy. In this regard, Wanzhou can make a difference and needs to achieve breakthroughs as soon as possible on some aspects."

Sha Zhengyang could feel Lin Chunming's unyielding aura. This is the most basic quality of being a landlord. If he is afraid of difficulties and hardships, and wants to take a detour or give up when encountering some difficulties and troubles, then this main leader is unqualified.

If you have the conditions, you must go up, and if you don’t have the conditions, you must go up. This is the spirit and momentum. Without this spirit and momentum, you don’t want to achieve results.

"Secretary Lin is right. Now everyone is always mentioning the reasonable proportion of the first, second and third industries, but I think it is almost empty talk. For the fourteen cities in Hanchuan Province, Handu and Jiazhou need to consider the reasonable development of the second and third industries, what other cities need to do is to do their best to develop the secondary industry, maximize the local consumption of surplus labor in rural areas, promote their local employment and increase income, and avoid them leaving their hometowns to work on the coast. This is the most important thing."

Sha Zhengyang felt this particularly profoundly.

A large number of laborers go to coastal areas to work now. Party committees and governments at all levels think it is a good thing. They can bring a large amount of wage income and can indeed have obvious effects on increasing the net income of rural population.

But in the long run, most of these young and middle-aged workers are engaged in the lowest level of labor in coastal areas, and most of them will not be accepted by these cities. Whether it is housing prices or education, they are forced to become passers-by.

When they were left with only old and sick bodies a decade or twenty years later, they had to return to their hometown where they gave birth to them and raised them.

This has not yet considered the huge negative effects of these large population outflows and working to the local society, such as the problems of staying behind, empty nests, and children's growth, which will greatly plague party committees and governments at all levels in the next few decades.
