Chapter 119: Shake hands, smile and forget your grudges

On the banks of Yunluo Lake.

Ling Zhengyue and Zhao Guodong were strolling on the slightly steep wild road. Both of them had changed into sportswear and struggling on the wild road. It was rare to have such a leisure time to walk together. Yunluo Lake in the middle of winter added a bit more wetness than the outside world. The faint mist spread along the mountains, and it actually felt like a fairyland.

Bai Yiming sent Ge Jing and his party to the airport, and Ling Zhengyue invited Zhao Guodong to board Yunluo Lake in the afternoon. Zhao Guodong accepted the invitation readily.

Ling Zhengyue's physical fitness is still good, and it can be seen that he is well maintained. Even though he is leading the climb and has several miles in a row, his pace is not slow at all. Zhao Guodong is still happy after following him. This relaxed and casual atmosphere is probably the first and last time that it appears between the two.

The two climbed along the rugged mountain road by the lake. The secretary and the personal guard looked at each other. They didn't know why they were intrigued today, but they suddenly remembered to climb the mountain. This was just announced. I don't know how many things were waiting for the two, but they were intrigued to come here. Could it be that the two really wanted to make a farewell message?

Ling Zhengyue climbed a platform in the mountain in one breath, which was still hundreds of meters away from the top of the mountain. Ling Zhengyue looked at it, as if he was thinking about something, but in the end he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to move forward.

The ochre-red sand shale is exposed in the air and gradually turns into purple soil after weathering. This constitutes the soil of most shallow hills in Anyuan, and also creates a mixed terrain between small plains and shallow hills in this area. Such as pine, camphor, selves, and holly, and small shrubs cover the entire mountain, with undulating mountains and winding mountains in summer, which are magnificent.

Two rare stones were lying on the edge of the mountain road in a random manner. I don’t know if it was born like this or if it was moved the day after tomorrow, but it felt like I was making fun of the two.

Standing by the stone, Ling Zheng jumped westward to look down, his vision was not good. The gray weather in winter made the entire Andu urban area shrouded in a layer of looming clouds, but you can still feel a huge city rising here.

"Guodong, it seems that we, Andu, have entered the second camp in the national urban financial index?" Ling Zhengyue asked abruptly.

In the first CDI index ranking in 2009, Andu ranked only 11th and was included in the ranking of secondary regional financial centers. This is undoubtedly a great shame for Andu, who is determined to become a financial center in the inland region. However, in the second CDI index ranking in 2010, thanks to the rapid economic development of Anyuan Province and the rapid scale of the Andu property rights exchange and the increasing trading volume, the indicators at all levels of Andu Financial Center have been greatly improved, and they have jumped into the front of the second echelon, second only to Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hangzhou, ranking in the top six. Their ranking has increased so much that it is beyond people's imagination.

"Well, now ranks sixth, and our Andu has steadily become a financial center in the inland region. It is far ahead, and it is probably difficult for surrounding cities to catch up." Zhao Guodong nodded and responded: "Ningling has also entered the third echelon, but its position is relatively low, not as good as Wenzhou."

"It seems that I have a long way to go to Su Province. As a coastal metropolis, Jinling is not as good as an inland city. This is abnormal, it is pressure and motivation." Ling Zhengyue turned his head and smiled slightly, "Guodong, is this considered a competition from afar?"

"Haha, Secretary Ling, the economic scale of Suzhou Province is not comparable to Anyuan. You know that our Anyuan goal has changed a little now. The original goal was to catch up with Zhejiang Province, but what if it surpassed Zhejiang Province? The per capita GDP and per capita net income of Zhejiang Province are not something that Anyuan can catch up in the short term. I think we should still focus on how to improve people's living standards, uh, that is, the people's happiness index and satisfaction. This is also the principle you set when you were there at the beginning of the year, right?" Zhao Guodong shook his head and smiled.

This guy, as soon as he announced his appointment as secretary, gave himself this trick. Ling Zhengyue also smiled but did not expose it. "Improving people's living standards is important, but we must also pay attention to a trend. Consolidating the momentum of economic development is also important. This is the basis for the long-term and continuous improvement of people's living standards. Only by ensuring the stability and solidity of this foundation, can the improvement of people's living standards be solidly guaranteed and sustainable improvement can be achieved. At this point, many people like to go from one extreme to another, especially in economically underdeveloped areas. This phenomenon is particularly worthy of attention. In a sense, this is also a driving force for utilitarian political achievements. As the main leader, we must carefully identify this point."

Zhao Guodong was slightly shocked. Logically speaking, Ling Zhengyue was about to leave. He had no need to say this. Apart from being unhappy, he might not get anything, but the other party still raised it so carefully, which shows that the other party has his own opinion on this point and is unwilling to follow others' opinions.

Seeing the puzzled look in Zhao Guodong's eyes, Ling Zhengyue sighed softly, "Guodong, at this time, it seems that there is nothing we can't say about, right? Yes, we may have some gaps in the early stage, but I believe that as we have worked together for a few years, the things we should have left away have been thrown away long ago, but I think we still have obvious analysis on some issues. I have analyzed it carefully, it is not that we have differences in fundamental understanding, but that the views on the urgency are not very consistent."

Zhao Guodong listened intently and seemed particularly serious.

"Just for the development of Anyuan, I agree with your view that the people should enjoy the achievements brought by the success of reform and opening up, so that their living standards will be improved, and their happiness index will be continuously improved. This is the responsibility of our first-level party committee and government. However, I have always believed that Anyuan is still an underdeveloped region. Although we seem to have entered the top in the country from the perspective of economic aggregate and total fiscal revenue, we should see that our industrial structure and R&D innovation capabilities are still comparable to those of Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other provinces.

When there is a clear gap, our financial strength is still very different from that of the Yangtze River Delta region. Our investment in education, health and social security is still quite different from that of developed coastal areas. These will restrict our next development potential. If we want to ensure that our Ayuan, including per capita income and happiness index, we must have a solid social and industrial foundation. On the one hand, the solidification of the foundation requires the improvement of the system you mentioned, and on the other hand, we still need our investment in many fields."

Zhao Guodong knew that Ling Zhengyue had spoken at the critical point and nodded silently.

"Many areas I refer to do not refer entirely to investments in areas such as urban construction, transportation, energy, and social public services. And more importantly, basic education training and the cultivation of R&D capabilities are investments in systems that play a booster role in local development. In this regard, I think Shenzhen is a model. Although Shenzhen ranks among the forefront of the country in all aspects, Shenzhen has also seen its own shortcomings, basic education and higher education, R&D capabilities, and other places such as Beijing and Shanghai. They can be used as a ideology in the early stage, but in the final analysis, you have to consolidate your own foundation. So for us, Anyuan, I also think that increasing investment in these software and hardware, cultivating and consolidating development potential is particularly important, which can benefit our Anyuan in ten or twenty years or even fifty years."

"I think you have done quite successfully in supporting the construction of the Pipaxi Science and Technology Corridor in Mianzhou, but this alone is not enough. Anyuan is a province with more than 70 million yuan, with fourteen cities and cities. Some cities can be said to be quite weak in these aspects. Equality is not suitable, but it is necessary to support education and R&D capabilities with a focus. At this point, I think Anyuan still has enough work to do."

Ling Zhengyue paused, as if he was considering his words, "The investment in a place is limited, and we cannot deny this fact. On the one hand, we need to allow the people to obtain tangible reform benefits and satisfy the people. On the other hand, we also need to ensure our development potential and potential. The latter is a guarantee of the long-term nature of the former. This requires testing the leadership and control skills of our party committee and government. How to grasp the standards and balance the contradictions determine the success or failure of our work."

"Secretary Ling, I roughly understand what you mean. Anyuan has developed very quickly, but it still has many shortcomings and flaws, which restricts Anyuan's next development. Our next work is to make up for and improve it. We cannot ignore the people's needs to improve their lives. In this regard, we have also done a lot of work and won the recognition and approval of the people. As you said, in many cases, some problems that are originally good things will have real contradictions due to the limitations of conditions. How to balance this point well has put forward higher requirements for us." Zhao Guodong smiled slightly. He did not clearly agree or deny the opinions and opinions of Ling Zhengyue, but asked again: "Secretary Ling, Anyuan's conditions are indeed limited, but the situation in Suzhou Province may be much better than Anyuan. Secretary Ling, how do you plan to view this issue when you go to Suzhou Province?"
