Section 1: The Road to Development

As soon as the construction site inspections of Sheraton Hotel and Peninsula Hotel came out, Zhao Guodong rushed to the Municipal Economic and Technological Development Zone to attend a signing ceremony.

There, Lin Zhiqiao, the new director of the Municipal Economic and Technological Development Zone, was waiting for him and Zhong Yuejun, who had just attended the opening ceremony of the Ningling Branch of the Bank of Communications. As soon as they came, they would attend the signing ceremony of United Semiconductor, NSG Semiconductor and Boneng Silicon Industry, a domestic silicon growth furnace, reduction furnace and ingot furnace manufacturer - Mingde Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., and the three jointly funded and established United Technology Co., Ltd. and United Technology R&D Center.

In this cooperation agreement, the newly established company, United Semiconductor and NSG Semiconductor each invested RMB 40 million, each accounting for 25% of the shares, Boneng Silicon Industry invested RMB 25 million, accounting for 15% of the shares, Mingde Mechanical and Electrical Investment invested 35% of the shares with equipment and a number of patented technologies, and occupied a dominant position. The production plant and United Technology R&D center of United Technology Co., Ltd. are both located in the Municipal Economic and Technological Development Zone, which will provide important industrial support for the upstream extension of Ningling's polysilicon and photovoltaic industries. Therefore, Zhao Guodong, who has no longer attended the signing and opening and completion ceremony of such a company, made an exception this time and attended with Zhong Yuejun.

In Zhao Guodong's view, Boneng Silicon Industry was able to take the initiative to join in and play a role in matching and bringing Mingde Mechanical and Electrical Inside is enough to prove that private enterprises have begun to change their concepts, began to pay attention to technological research and development and accumulation, and realized that technological innovation will play an increasingly important role in the future development of the enterprise. This awareness change is very important, so he must attend this signing ceremony to show the support and encouragement of the municipal party committee and government for this.

"Zhao***, there will be signing ceremony for two companies tomorrow. Do you think you will take the time to participate? You can't favor one and the other." Cheng Shuhe walked up Costa next to Zhao Guodong and said with a smile.

"Shuhe, I am not going to attend the signing ceremony of United Technology Co., Ltd. today, but to attend the signing ceremony of United Technology R&D Center. This must be clear. Whether the company signs or starts and completes, the city has already made clear regulations. Generally, you can participate in it. You can invite Mayor Zhong and Mayor Gu to participate in special projects, but I will not participate." Zhao Guodong smiled and said, "This time, this joint technology R&D center has special significance for the development of our city's new energy and new materials industry. Its establishment will create a new era for our Ningling enterprises. This also indicates that our Ningling is not only an industrial manufacturing city, but also a technology-based city integrating innovation, R&D and service. I am just going for this. If you don't invite me, I will go!"

Cheng Shuhe smiled, with a smug smile on his face: "Zhao***, don't say that absolutely. Since you can go to the Joint Technology R&D Center, I believe you will be interested in the signing ceremony of the two companies tomorrow."

"Oh? Let's talk about it." Zhao Guodong became interested.

"One is Yuhui New Materials Co., Ltd., a production company that mainly produces silicon wafer cutting blade materials and crystal silicon wafer cutting waste mortar. This company is jointly operated by several professional talents who have jumped jobs and two high-tech talents returning from Germany. It has moved from Henan and has won the first wave of venture capital of 6.8 million US dollars. This can not only support our city's polysilicon industry, but also provide solutions to some environmental problems brought by the polysilicon industry." Cheng Shuhe said confidently.

"Well, polysilicon supporting enterprises have a lot of technological content, good growth potential, and have environmental protection concepts. Hehe, Shuhe, no wonder they are so confident." Zhao Guodong smiled, "Whe where is the other one?"

"Aoeng Materials Co., Ltd., is also a supporting enterprise with the photovoltaic industry. It mainly produces solar polycrystalline silicon cutting liquid and concrete water reducing agent polyether monomers. It has a number of patented technologies. Its products not only cover the photovoltaic industry, but also are indispensable products in the high-speed rail industry. It is mainly close to the production area of ​​the raw material ethylene oxide and the downstream industries, so the investor of this enterprise chose our Ningling to settle down."

Although Zhao Guodong didn't know much about the situation of these two companies, he could hear Cheng Shuhe's high spirits and guessed that these two companies might have some backgrounds, at least they are more important in terms of technological content. Otherwise, Cheng Shuhe would not dare to take a big shot in front of him like this.

Cheng Shuhe also grasped Zhao Guodong's thoughts. He knew that although Zhao Guodong did not participate in these signing or completion ceremonies of industrial enterprises now, it was not without exception. If he could use his preferences, he would not be unsuccessful if he chose his appetite. For example, high technological content or representativeness, such as the size of the investment, it is not a necessary condition.

"Well, Shuhe, let's talk about this, see if there are any other arrangements tomorrow. If there are no other important things, then I'll go there." Zhao Guodong shook his head and glanced at Cheng Shuhe, "Shuhe, don't always put your mind on this. I can't solve any problem even if I go there. If these companies really settle down and develop in our Ningling, they still have to rely on the support of your leaders and departments and create a good development environment. This is the key."

"Hehe, Zhao***, of course we know this, but your participation is a support for our work, right? It can also make these companies feel that our municipal party committee and government value their arrival? This psychological effect is sometimes even more effective than some policy support." Cheng Shu and his mouth were also quite good at saying.

"Okay, okay, Shuhe, I see that your mouth is almost as good as Wenkui's mouth. I see that everyone in the municipal government is good at eloquence. Except for Luneng, the municipal party committee seems to have become a dull person. Ling Chun, should the municipal party committee organize everyone to learn eloquence and speeches, right?" Zhao Guodong was in a very good mood.

"Zhao***, there is no need for this? Eloquence is like silver, silence is gold, this sentence seems to be what you said?" Zeng Lingchun fought back calmly.

Zhao Guodong was stunned and looked up and down at Zeng Lingchun with a faint smile behind him, "Oh, Lingchun, okay, you really know how to use my words to block my own mouth."

Everyone in the car laughed.

After putting down the phone, Zhao Guodong tried his best to stabilize his emotions. It was his turn to speak soon. No matter how big the matter is, he is now choking to stabilize his position, but it is so sudden that even though he claimed that he would not change his color on Mount Tai, he was still a little confused.

In fact, I should have been mentally prepared for a long time. During the Spring Festival, many hints and reminders from leaders, and even some of Ying Dongliu's words, all of them imply that I should be mentally prepared in this regard. However, I am always a little reluctant to leave, or I am reluctant to face this reality. It is almost the same as intentional or unintentional avoidance, but this day will come eventually.

But it did come too quickly. It seems that Dongliu's efforts have not worked. The central government will not change because of Ningling's specialness. As Han Du said, Ningling will turn as much as anyone else, just like the world will never pause because of anyone, but for himself, this seems so cruel and profound.

Zhao Guodong calmed down and took a breath. It was not the time to think about other things. The signing ceremony was about to end, so he should speak by himself. He didn't know whether to give this speech to Zhong Yuejun or continue to do it according to the original plan. His current state of mind seemed a little unsuitable.

After thinking about it, Zhao Guodong looked up at the ceiling, calming his mind slowly, and always had to face this day. Although he was reluctant to leave, who would face this moment if he had this day or wherever he could face this moment.

"Next, we invite Comrade Zhao Guodong, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Ningling Municipal Party Committee, and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, to give an important speech." Cheng Shuhe's excited voice interrupted Zhao Guodong's still a little anxious. He quickly adjusted his emotions and re-entered his state.

"Dear friends and guests, today is the signing ceremony for the settlement of United Technology Co., Ltd. and United Technology R&D Center in Ningling Economic and Technological Development Zone. I am also very happy to attend such a signing ceremony. Two days ago, Mayor Shuhe mentioned this matter with me and Mayor Yuejun. I told Mayor Yuejun that we may not attend the signing ceremony of United Technology Co., Ltd., and mayor Shuhe will represent the municipal party committee and government to participate. However, we must both go to the signing ceremony of United Technology R&D Center. Even if Shuhe doesn't tell us, we will come uninvited."

The audience was silent, and the guests were listening to the meaning of the words of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee ***.

"Someone may ask, is there any difference? I want to say, yes, and there are a lot of differences. United Technology Co., Ltd. is an enterprise, and there are many companies that settle in Ningling every year. Our city has a principle. Generally, the mayor in charge is asked to sign and complete the contract and start-up of enterprises. The mayor in charge is to represent the municipal party committee and government. Other city leaders generally do not participate, including Mayor Yuejun and me, but why do we come this time? Not for others, we settle in the United Technology R&D Center!"
