Volume Four, Section Eighty-ninth, Do a Good Job
It is an unusual situation for a city's main district mayor to hang for several months. Guo Xiangyang naturally knows the whole story.
Wanyang District's economic growth has been unsatisfactory since 1991. Although its economic size remains second in the city, the gap with Dongxia is getting wider.
The gap between the two sides changed from 200 million yuan in 1991 to 500 million yuan in 1993. In 1994, Wanyang achieved GDP of 2.2 billion yuan, but Dongxia achieved GDP of 2.9 billion yuan, and the gap widened to 700 million yuan. The gap between Zhenyang and Wanyang, which followed closely behind, went from 400 million yuan in 1991 to less than 100 million yuan in 1994. This is also something that the Wanzhou Municipal Party Committee is not very satisfied with.
Chen Xiuqing's economic performance is not enough to convince people, but Chen Xiuqing has the advantage of female cadres, which is also one of the reasons why Yuan Chenggong was very dissatisfied with Chen Xiuqing's promotion to deputy mayor.
If it weren't for Zhenyang's performance in 1994, I'm afraid that it would be hard to say who will win the position of deputy mayor.
Wanzhou achieved GDP of 17.8 billion in 1994, with a revised economic growth rate of up to 16.9%, second only to Fugang and Tonghe, and entered the top three for the first time.
Although the total economic output, per capita GDP, per capita income, etc. are far inferior to those in Handu, Jiazhou and Fugang, this is also a very gratifying progress. After all, this is a region with a population of tens of millions. Every step forward can solve the problem of poverty alleviation and employment of many people.
Wanzhou's performance this year has been praised by the province, but the provincial party committee is still not satisfied and believes that the municipal party committee and government team led by Lin Chunming can do better.
This is the original words that Lin Chunming and Feng Shizhang, who accepted Zhou Yuanwang's straight to the point after the first meeting of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government after the New Year.
Zhou Yuanwang proposed that by 1997, Wanzhou's total economic output must be among the top three in the province. This is the provincial party committee's expectation for Wanzhou, and it is also the requirement that Wanzhou, as a top three, as a resource endowment in the province, is taken for granted by the province, whether in terms of population or land territory.
Zhou Yuanwang also proposed that by 1997, Wanzhou's per capita GDP should be among the top five in the province, and the per capita disposable income of urban residents and the disposable income of rural residents should be among the top six in the province. I asked Lin Chunming and Feng Shizhang if they had the confidence to do it.
To be honest, this requirement is not high. The top five and top six in the province are considered to be medium-level among the thirteen prefectures and cities in the province.
But the problem is that although Wanzhou's GDP seems not low, the average population of 10 million is very miserable. Moreover, there are more than 2 million poor people in Wanzhou, which greatly lowers the per capita income of Wanzhou, especially the per capita net income of rural residents.
Solving the employment and income increase of those who are capable of working among these poor people has always been the top priority in the work of the Wanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
Therefore, Wanzhou is now ranked tenth and eleventh in this per capita GDP and per capita income. To achieve such a great leapfrog progress within three years, it does put a lot of pressure on Lin Chunming and Feng Shizhang, but under the expectations of senior provincial officials, do they dare to say they have no confidence?
Because of this, the first meeting of the Wanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government after the beginning of the year also clarified the development task this year, which is to judge heroes based on economic data.
Various data, including but not limited to the total GDP and per capita GDP growth rate, total fiscal revenue and growth rate, per capita disposable income of urban residents and per capita net income of rural residents, growth rate of fixed asset investment, fiscal revenue and the growth rate of tax and non-tax income among them, the amount of contracted investment and actual landed investment and the growth rate.
These data were listed one by one by several departments in the city, and were directly made into a picture and hung on the venue, so that the secretaries and county magistrates of each district can see it at a glance.
In this era, PPT is not that popular. Although laptops and production software are also available, it will obviously take a long time to quickly promote and popularize in inland cities.
The secretaries and county magistrates attending the conference can look at the data and rankings of their districts and counties without much effort, and then evaluate themselves where they should reach in the next year, and then compare their competitors.
The Municipal Party Committee Office and the Municipal Government Office have also worked hard to evaluate and calculate various data, which will also help everyone to scientifically calculate whether they can make up for it on the other hand if they fall behind in a certain item.
For example, if the GDP growth rate is slow, then the growth rate of fixed asset investment can be made faster, or the growth rate of export and foreign exchange earnings must be considered whether it can be made up for it, or whether the growth rate of disposable income of rural residents can fare the gap from its competitors.
If all kinds of data show that you are lagging behind, as the secretary, district and county magistrate, you must carefully study what causes you to lag behind, or examine why your neighbors do better than you.
The establishment of these data charts and the redemption calculation of various scores were built under the suggestion of Sha Zhengyang, and also won unanimous praise from Lin Chunming, Feng Shizhang, Ming Yongchang and others.
Before becoming Secretary of the Wanyang District Party Committee, Guo Xiangyang was also one of the leaders as the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, and he was also a member of the leaders as the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office. He naturally knew what these data represented.
All these mean that the weight of indicators representing economic development will become heavier and heavier in future assessments.
If a district and county fall behind in the scores of various data, it means that you will be taken into the sight of the Wanzhou Municipal Party Committee and your abilities will be questioned. Similarly, if you are ahead in all aspects, it may mean that your career prospects will be brighter.
This is not an absolutely fair and scientific assessment and evaluation standard, but there is no absolutely fair and scientific. This is even more so in this era of fierce competition.
Guo Xiangyang is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. He has unique abilities in dealing with interpersonal relationships and integrating opinions from all parties, and his execution ability is not bad, but he lacks a broad vision in the idea of developing the economy.
In other words, he needs a partner with unique insights and sharp vision to ride the wind and waves in front, and he is at the back to encourage the other party.
Sha Zhengyang is undoubtedly a very good object.
Although the other party is too young, has insufficient qualifications and prestige, and lacks experience in handling daily government affairs, it is a big disadvantage that cannot be avoided, especially in the main urban area, everyone has flaws and weaknesses. In Guo Xiangyang's view, he can bear these weaknesses of Sha Zhengyang and can also make up for them.
Judging from the current situation, the municipal party committee attaches great importance to the candidates for the mayor of Wanyang District, so the candidates have not been finalized for several months.
Guo Xiangyang believes that the Municipal Party Committee should have considered Sha Zhengyang, but it has not been finalized.
Through today's contact and observation, Guo Xiangyang felt that his judgment was basically reliable. Sha Zhengyang's analysis and judgment ability in the economic work was indeed outstanding. It was difficult to find a cadre in the city who could be compared with him.
The only regret is his age and qualifications, as well as the main urban area like Wanyang District, which has very complex work in all aspects, has very high requirements for the main leaders in all aspects.
Economic work is very important, but in a main urban area like Wanyang District, economic work is not everything.
Perhaps the Municipal Party Committee has also considered this when studying this issue.
When Guo Xiangyang left, he was thinking about this question. Perhaps it is much more likely that Sha Zhengyang will be the chief officer in counties like Tongshan, Daye, Linhe and even Yucheng, Shandu?

Sha Zhengyang could not have imagined that far. Although Lin Chunming had mentioned this situation to him, for him, doing every job well and laying a solid foundation for the future development of Wanzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone is the most important and realistic.
"From the current situation, the food industry in our Wanzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone has begun to take shape. It is expected that the output value of the food industry may exceed 150 million yuan in the first quarter,..."
Sha Zhengyang looked relaxed when he leaned against the chair.
The construction progress of the three instant noodle companies is extraordinary, especially the progress of Dingyi is particularly fast, and Uni-President is also reluctant to leave after being stimulated by Dingyi.
On the contrary, the construction progress of Maizhilang Food Co., Ltd., jointly owned by Nissin and Oriental Hong, was slightly slow. It was not until February that the construction was completed and it was expected that it would not be officially put into production until March, while Tingyi and Unified had already started full production in January.
"Although Nestlé's construction progress is fast, they have high requirements. It is expected that the comprehensive construction of the factory will not be completed until the second half of this year. It would be good if the construction can be started before the end of the year." Lu Jian said regretfully.
"Don't expect too high. For now, Nestlé Industrial Park can still play a benchmark role. Nestlé is now cooperating with several districts and counties to promote the dairy cattle breeding model, including ordinary breeders, large breeders, and breeding farms. This pilot cultivation is estimated to take at least two or three years to achieve results."
Qian Zheng still has an objective understanding of this.
He agreed with Sha Zhengyang's view that the demonstration effect and influence brought by Nestlé's settlement are more valuable. From the perspective of the whole city, Nestlé's settlement has a huge driving effect on the dairy cattle breeding industry, which can play a very obvious role in increasing farmers' income.
Lin Chunming and Feng Shizhang both valued this point very much.
Judging from the province's excuse this year, the growth rate of per capita net income of rural residents is very important in the weight of the assessment indicators, even second only to the GDP growth rate, and is more important than the growth rate of fiscal revenue.
"Zhengyang, the investment promotion in the food industry must continue to be stepped up, but we cannot only focus on the food industry, but also look further. The investment promotion in the shoes, hats and toys we proposed did not achieve the expected results, which is worth pondering."
This is a small setback, and it also underestimates the impact of product exports in coastal areas, transportation costs, and information communication flexibility.
