Chapter 76: Power

The Costa convoy disappeared into the dust, and there was still a thoughtful expression on Tieying's face. He glanced at Zhuo Ning, who was also cautious in his expression. He felt that this week-long investigation by Governor Zhao seemed a bit unusual.

When did Qianzhou become the focus of attention? Thinking of the sword and sword behind it, Tieying couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

If Qianzhou simply lags behind in development, it would be simple. If some other complex factors are mixed in, especially if there are differences in the development concept of the main leaders, then it will be really troublesome.

Obviously, Zhuo Ning also realized this.

"Secretary Zhuo and Governor Zhao's opinions... Tieying asked tentatively.

"Let's listen." Zhuo Ning frowned and said vaguely: "Old Tie, we should not get involved in some things. Even if they are the same as we think, they should not be exposed. It is better to be more lush and self-confident."

"But Secretary Zhuo and Governor Zhao have already made it clear. If he expressed this attitude in the province, then we will become..." Tie Ying did not say it any further, but the meaning was very clear. As long as Zhao Guodong talked about the development concept of Qianzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government in the province and expressed his support for Qianzhou's viewpoint, then this matter may have problems. Maybe Ling Zhengyue just thought Qianzhou had a weak foundation and poor conditions. Now that I said this, I might become the first victim.

"Hmph, Lao Tie, what are you afraid of? It's not our turn to come. Are you a fool to be Governor Zhao? We can't have a rank in Qianzhou, and the matters between Tongcheng and Mianzhou have not yet been seen. There are heavy storms inside. Look, I think whether it is Secretary Ling or Governor Zhao, they will discuss these things. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. Don't underestimate the political wisdom and leadership art of leaders." Zhuo Ning said calmly.

Tieying seemed to have understood a little, but she still didn't understand it, so she had to think about it carefully. However, since Zhuo Ning looked calm and composed, what else could he say as the mayor?

"In the first half of this year, the province's economic growth rate was stable, with GDP increasing by 12.8% year-on-year, fixed asset investment increasing by 16.8% year-on-year, and actual foreign investment increasing by 9.9% year-on-year..." Ling Zhengyue seemed proud and his tone was also ups and downs, and he was very aggressive in his gestures.

The Standing Committee members are carefully reading the "Provincial Economic Analysis" jointly released by the Provincial Party Committee Office and the Provincial Government Office.

This is a quarterly magazine. The economic situation in the province will be interpreted in this way every quarter. It was the first monthly economic analysis conducted by the General Office of the Provincial Government and submitted to the participants of the Provincial Government Office for understanding and mastering. However, after Ling Zhengyue came, he felt that the provincial party committee should strengthen its leadership in economic work, so he asked the Provincial Party Committee Office to follow the example of the Provincial Government Office to carry out this quarterly economic analysis, through the Standing Committee, to grasp and study the status trajectory of the province's economic operation work, and to provide guiding opinions on major economic activities.

This seems to be a disguised intervention in specific economic work. After Chen Yinglu took office as Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, he tactfully proposed whether this analysis could be cancelled and the provincial government would just copy the monthly analysis to each member of the Standing Committee. However, Ling Zhengyue insisted that the provincial party committee should strengthen guidance on economic work in this way and promote economic development in the province, so Chen Yinglu no longer insisted.

The economic growth rate of the whole province looked pretty good in the first half of the year, but compared with several major competitors in Anyuan in the country, such as Zhejiang and Henan, there is a clear gap. The growth rate of Zhejiang and Henan provinces in the first half of the year reached 14.7%. Even the Hebei province, which has a slow growth rate, reached 13.1%, such as Su Province, even reached 15%, while Inner Mongolia was an astonishing 18.2%, and Anyuan was only 12.8%. In this comparison, it immediately made people feel confused.

If the provinces in Inner Mongolia cannot be compared, but Zhejiang Province, which ranks first in Anyuan and Henan Province, which ranks second in Anyuan, have reached 14.7%, this has to make everyone here feel pressured. The distance between Zhejiang Province and Anyuan is getting bigger and bigger, while Henan Province is only one line away from Anyuan. Even in the ranking last year, Henan Province also believes that if there is any problem with Anyuan's statistical caliber, it will be more than one billion higher than Henan Province. If according to the growth rate in the first half of the year, Henan Province will be almost certain to surpass Anyuan, which means that Anyuan will be squeezed out of the top five again. This is simply an untolerable fact for Ling Zhengyue, who has been appointed as the provincial party secretary for more than a year.

"Comrades, it seems that the growth rate of Anyuan this year is pretty good, but when compared with other provinces and cities, we will find that the gap between Anyuan and them is not narrowing but expanding, which makes me very worried." Ling Zhengyue closed the materials and his tone became a little heavy, "Especially for several provinces similar to our situation, such as Yu Province, in terms of population, economic strength and geographical location, we are very similar to Yu Province, but we can see that the growth rate of Henan Province in the first half of the year reached 14.7%. This data makes me sleepless at night. Why is Anyuan nearly two percentage points lower than Yu Province? What is the gap between this? It is worth pondering for everyone here, Guodong, Jinguang, Yinghua, you three should have a sense of urgency."

Ling Zhengyue's words seemed to be of little target, but the solemn meaning in his tone still made Yang Jinguang feel a little pressure. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Guodong next to him quietly. Zhao Guodong seemed to be very focused on remembering something in his notebook, but Yang Jinguang was sure that he was definitely not recording Ling Zhengyue's speech.

"I looked at the analysis on this aspect, and also looked at the month-on-month and year-on-year growth of various cities. I felt that there were still some problems worthy of our attention." Ling Zhengyue's eyes became a little sharp at this time, looking around. At this time, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, his words also represent a posture. No matter who it is, as long as it drags down the economic development, he will criticize without hesitation and order him to change his course, otherwise...

"The economic growth rate of some cities and cities has dropped significantly compared to last year. For example, Ningling and Tongcheng. Ningling has developed at an astonishing speed in the past few years, known as Ningling Tiger. The decline in growth in the past two years is also a normal pullback. However, as first-level leaders, we must also carefully analyze. If it is a normal pullback, there is nothing. However, if this sharp decline continues, we need to cause deep thought. Have Ningling studied the reasons and taken measures to reboot and keep Ningling's tiger energy maintained? I think the province should specifically remind Ningling not to be lying on the credit book to sleep!"

Ling Zhengyue's last sentence was particularly strengthened and his sharp eyes glanced around.

"As for Tongcheng, I think this also needs to be studied seriously. Tongcheng has a weak foundation, but the discovery of natural gas provides Tongcheng with an opportunity for development. Tongcheng's committee and municipal government seized this opportunity in the past two years, and the development speed is very fast. However, fixed investment declined in the first half of this year, and the growth rate also showed a bottleneck period. I think Tongcheng is facing both difficulties and huge opportunities at this point. The MDI integration project of BASF and Sinopec is one of them. In this project, the province should give full support to ensure that this project must be settled in Anyuan, and the same is true for Sinochem Investment Group's butanediol and refined methanol projects."

The Standing Committee meeting room was extremely quiet. Apart from the occasional brushing of the pen tips and paper, there was not even a cough. Even Ding Sen, who had always been a little bit contemptuous at the Standing Committee, seemed very low-key at this time.

"The first thing to do is to grasp projects, persist in projects, strive to maintain rapid investment growth, insist on grasping projects, expanding investment as the core of economic development, and promote the driving strategy of major projects. This is the unshirkable responsibility of the Party Committee and the government! Major projects can play an immediate and sustainable role in driving economic development in a place. This has been proved by countless facts. On this point, our Party Committee and government must look at the problem from a higher strategic height, carry out work in a straightforward and innovative manner, and do a good job in service around major projects. Do not be too entangled with the details, take the overall situation into consideration, and truly realize that only by developing the economy can we improve people's livelihood and provide sufficient material guarantees for improving people's livelihood."

Zhao Guodong was really happy inside. He really couldn't see that Ling Zhengyue's argument could be so smooth. Only by developing the economy can people's livelihood be improved and material guarantees can it be improved. It is a high-sounding thing to be aware of the overall situation. That is to say, if he withstands the Tongcheng Petrochemical Project, he would ignore the overall situation and not know the overall situation. He was entangled in the details. Fortunately, he did not say that he was setting obstacles for the development of the economy, but it was not light to put down this hat.

Long Yinghua observed every subtle expression of Zhao Guodong from the side, including Zhao Guodong frowning, sneering, smiling and smiling, not smiling, but he did not see the angry or aggrieved expression he wanted to see, nor even the familiar unruly and fighting spirit on Zhao Guodong's face.
