Section 55 Conversation (2)

Wen Guoji nodded slightly. He noticed that Cai Zhengyang avoided the inclusion of the hydropower industry in the energy industry and replaced it as the energy industry after the completion of the Yunnan-Burma oil and gas pipeline, which shows the carefulness of the provincial party committee.

Before the dispute over Nujiang development has been settled, it is indeed not advisable to mention this issue in a high-profile manner. Generally speaking, ordinary people cannot find anything missing in the energy industry, and it can also avoid causing unnecessary debate.

"Zhengyang, I think you mentioned the biological industry in a focused way. I agree with this point. Southern Yunnan's biological resources are the best in Asia and are among the few in the world. How to transform resource advantages into industrial advantages? I think southern Yunnan has a lot to do in this regard." Wen Guoji smiled and seemed to be thinking about something: "It seems that the Southern Yunnan Provincial Committee has also realized this point, and plays to its strengths and avoids its weaknesses, and gives full play to its advantages. The big biological industry and tourism industry are worthy of emphasis on cultivating."

Cai Zhengyang realized that the Prime Minister had some follow-up words to say and focused on listening.

"I have a little thought, that is, when cultivating advantageous industries, we don't have to grow. I think it is more suitable for provinces like southern Yunnan in terms of strength. If southern Yunnan can really choose two or three of the six pillar industries proposed by your provincial party committee, such as the large biological industry and tourism industry. In fact, once these industries are truly stronger, their derivative industries will be quite considerable. For example, the biological resources in southern Yunnan are of no exception in the country. The development of biological industries has unique advantages. Bio-agriculture, biopharmaceuticals, bioengineering, and bioenvironmental protection. These branch industries are closely related and linked to become stronger. They can then extend to other surrounding industries and form large industries. I think it is very rare. I hope southern Yunnan will study it carefully in this regard. Zhengyang, this is my opinion, so I will listen to it."

The Prime Minister is very modest, saying that it is a one-point view, but he talks about the key lifeline for the development of the economy in many places at present.

At present, some regions are blindly greedy for the big and complete, and often list a lot of so-called dominant industries, all of which need to be taken into account, but the result is that they have become everywhere and cannot form truly competitive industries. In terms of policy and funds, they are difficult to share, and in the end they are a big stall that is not easy to ask for.

"Prime Minister, your opinion must be carefully studied and considered how to strengthen the advantageous industries. The biological resources advantage in southern Yunnan is quite obvious. Making the biological industry bigger and stronger is an opinion put forward by previous provincial party committees, but it has not really been able to achieve a breakthrough. I hope that a qualitative transformation can be truly achieved in our term." Cai Zhengyang nodded and expressed that he would seriously consider the Prime Minister's suggestions.

"Well, Zhengyang, southern Yunnan is facing a good development opportunity, and we must not miss it. The national western development strategy continues to deepen. Southern Yunnan is the most important link in the middle. The Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee should also place more cadres with good qualities, new ideas and good at economic work in selecting and appointing cadres in important positions. Sometimes, using a good cadre can drive the economic development of a region. Zhengyang, I believe you should have experience of this." Wen Guoji smiled slightly.

Cai Zhengyang also laughed, "I'm afraid the Prime Minister is talking about Zhao Guodong? Well, at that time, the Anyuan Provincial Party Committee asked him to go back from the Ministry of Energy, and I was a little reluctant to leave it. However, considering that young cadres can train more at the grassroots level, it will be beneficial to his growth, so I agreed. Unexpectedly, when this guy returned to Anyuan, he put a satellite for you, and won the championship in GDP growth for two consecutive years. Now Ningling has become a nationally renowned silicon city and a new energy capital. The GDP was the first to exceed 100 billion in prefecture-level cities in our central and western regions. It is a pity that the central government arranged for him to serve as the Minister of Organization in southern Yunnan. Maybe he could give him the position of the vice governor in charge of industry, which may be able to give full play to his strengths."

"Zhengyang, I think the central government has its own considerations in the position of Organization Minister. It is appropriate. You cannot keep him working in this field because he is good at economic work. The training and use of young cadres should be considered from a comprehensive and long-term perspective. I think his performance in the role of Organization Minister may not be inferior to his performance in the economic field. From this inspection in Sanjiang area, I felt that such cadres are rare now. As long as they can calm down and go to the grassroots to understand the situation and carry out their work, there is no work that cannot be done well." Wen Guoji's tone was quite affirmative and recognized Zhao Guodong's performance.

Cai Zhengyang was also in a state of great excitement. The Prime Minister seemed to have basically recognized his work during this inspection. His optimism towards Zhao Guodong was undoubtedly a praise for himself, the provincial party committee. The Prime Minister's attitude would make Cai Zhengyang feel a lot of relief. There must be problems, but as long as he is satisfied with the current situation of the provincial party committee, he will have a clear idea. He will be more confident in how to carry out the next work.

The Prime Minister and his group finally left, and Zhao Guodong finally failed to find a suitable opportunity to advise the Prime Minister. Fortunately, before boarding the plane, Zhao Guodong took an opportunity to wait until the Prime Minister said goodbye to Cai Zhengyang. He interrupted politely. The Prime Minister did not comment and only said that Southern Yunnan would submit approval according to the procedures. No one could predict the result, but finally let the Prime Minister know about this.

The rest should be the matter of the provincial government. Kunwen Expressway will cross three cities and prefectures, Kunming, Hongshan and Wencheng. Such a project was not included in the projects arranged by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport for southern Yunnan in the early stage. However, when Zhao Guodong proposed this idea to the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister did not veto it, but asked the province to submit approval in accordance with the procedures. This undoubtedly implies a glimmer of hope. For southern Yunnan, such a large project has great boost to drive economic development along the route, especially to promote the development of Wencheng and northern Hongshan Prefecture. Even if there is only one percent hope, it must be achieved with 100% effort.

After learning about this news, both Wei Wenming, Wu Yuanji and Li Qing were very enthusiastic about this news. The pulling effect brought by the construction of a high-grade highway cannot be underestimated. Even if it is only the construction stage, it can still bring considerable pulling to the construction, building materials and consumption in the places along the route. This is not the role of promoting the local economy after it is truly completed.

"Sit down, why, can you still become apart when you come to me?" Zhao Guodong waved his hand to signal Huo Yunda to take his seat. He didn't even raise his head and read the documents on his own, "Wait a moment, it'll be fine soon."

"You are busy with yours, Minister Zhao, I'm fine anyway, I'll sit for a while and even rest here." Huo Yunda also noticed that Zhao Guodong seemed to be much tanned by the sunlight in southern Yunnan, but his spirit seemed even more vigorous. He went to the provincial government to do business, and after the matter was done, he came to the old leader to sit down.

Things in the world are unpredictable. He was still thinking that he should go back to Ningling in half a year, but Zhao Guodong made a great move, jumping from Ningling Municipal Party Committee to southern Yunnan to serve as the Organization Minister of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. The span between them was too large, which made Huo Yunda a little unacceptable for a while. Then he no longer served as the deputy governor of Hongshan Prefecture as an exchange cadre, and the member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee proved this. This series of changes made Huo Yunda have to consider his future prospects.

After joining the Standing Committee of the State Party Committee, the work that is under his control is industrial transportation and investment promotion. Hongshan Prefecture's economy is in the middle of the province, but the economy is mainly based on the two traditional industries of tobacco and non-ferrous metal processing. How to cultivate emerging industries while strengthening the pillar industries is also something Huo Yunda has been thinking about.

In fact, Hongshan Prefecture is a microcosm of the entire southern Yunnan. The tobacco industry and the non-ferrous metal processing industry constitute the two existing pillar industries in southern Yunnan, especially the tobacco industry, which accounts for almost half of the fiscal revenue in southern Yunnan. Although other industries seem to be booming, they have not really cultivated many competitive industries. The so-called advanced machinery manufacturing industry is only a little bit and it is difficult to support the overall situation.

Huo Yunda sometimes envies Ningling's situation. Relying on the original power equipment and material manufacturing industry, he seized the opportunity of the development of new energy and new materials. Leading cadres all have a development mentality of chasing each other, and they achieved a qualitative leap in an instant.

However, here, the basic conditions of Hongshan Prefecture cannot be considered very good, but it is definitely not bad. However, the biggest problem is that the speed of leading cadres accepting new things is far less than that of Ningling, and there is no positive atmosphere of desire for change and development. This greatly restricts the ability of the state to attract investment and cultivate emerging industries. This is also Huo Yunda's biggest trouble at present. The reason why he came to Zhao Guodong was to tell his inner troubles to the old leader.
