Chapter 26: Sense of urgency

After leaving Changlian Group, Zhao Guodong looked at his watch and it was already past four o'clock.

I looked at five companies in the development zone, including three. Among them, Changlian Group was the company introduced when he was the secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone. The other companies only came in after they left. The business conditions were good. Of course, Zhao Guodong also knew that the development zone management committee naturally had to launch its glamorous side, and it was impossible for him to look at those companies with poor management or small scale.

What is the work of the development zone? It depends on the introduction of enterprises and the development status of the management committee, the efforts of the management committee to attract investment, the work style, ideas, and service awareness of the management committee. The first two are not satisfactory, but Zhao Guodong is not very satisfied with the latter, especially the ideas and service awareness.

Liu Ruhuai and Lu Mianyang carefully observed Zhao Guodong's expression. This was the first time Zhao Guodong inspected the work of the Development Zone Management Committee after taking office as secretary of the municipal party committee. He first watched the report of the Development Zone Management Committee, and had a random understanding in several major offices of the Development Zone Management Committee. Then he inspected the business conditions of the enterprise on-site, and then came back to listen to Zhao Guodong's comments on the work of the Development Zone Management Committee.

Li Daifu followed Zhao Guodong, taking a step a little slower, with a serious expression.

Ningling and Huaiqing are somewhat different. The Economic and Technological Development Zone has always been in charge of the Standing Committee Member, Deputy Mayor, rather than Executive Vice Mayor. From the earliest Zhou Chunxiu to Zhao Guodong as a member of the Standing Committee, he served as Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone Management Committee, then became Zhao Guodong directly in charge, and later became Zhou Chunxiu. In the end, Zhou Chunxiu went to the People's Congress, and Li Daifu was in charge of the industry and took over the development zone.

Li Daifu also felt that Zhao Guodong still had some views on the development zone. Logically speaking, Ningling Development Zone has done a pretty good job in municipal development zones across the province. Even though it cannot be compared with Huaiqing Economic and Technological Development Zone, which has continuously introduced many large electronic manufacturing giants, it is still worthy of praise compared with the development zones in other cities and cities.

If Zhao Guodong is picky about Ningling Economic and Technological Development Zone and insists on comparing with Huaiqing or Andu's economic and Technological Development Zone, then Li Daifu has nothing to say. After all, the Huaiqing Economic and Technological Development Zone was also built by Zhao Guodong during Huaiqing. Zhao Guodong has the capital and confidence to boast about it.

The group got on Coaster, and the car went straight to the entrance of the Development Zone Management Committee very smoothly. The courtyard of the Management Committee was still not much changed, but the greening in the courtyard was much lush, which made Zhao Guodong very friendly and felt a lot.

After entering the familiar conference room, Zhao Guodong subconsciously wanted to sit in the main seat. He walked to the seat before he realized that he was not the secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone Management Committee, but the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

Touching the seat that was still as bright as new, Zhao Guodong subconsciously shook his head and smiled, "Ruhuai, isn't this seat easy to sit on?"

Liu Ruhuai didn't expect that Zhao Guodong would suddenly ask such a sentence when he entered the conference room. He was stunned and then reacted: "Secretary Zhao, only by sitting in this seat can you feel the difficulties and pressure when you served as the Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone."

"Well, sit down, Dai Fu, sit here and wait for them to sit there. They are the masters, we are guests, we are here to be guests, but we don't want to be good men and evil guests, we will say whatever we see." Zhao Guodong first sets the tone for today's research.

Liu Ruhuai and Lu Mianyang exchanged uneasy expressions, but at this time they could only bite the bullet and go into battle.

"What, what are you afraid of? Are you embarrassed and sluggish? Sit down, just talk about achievements and glamorous things. I will get tired of listening to them a few more times. Let me tell you, don't believe in beautiful words, and believe in words is not beautiful. I told us this motto more than two thousand years ago, don't be used to listening to those nice things." Zhao Guodong said lightly.

"Secretary Zhao, this is not what we mean. If the work is not done well, of course we should be criticized." Liu Ruhuai first lowered his attitude and corrected his attitude.

"Ruhuai, I think you and Lu Mianyang are not thinking that way. I think if the surname Zhao came to the development zone to pick on it. The senior official level was crushed to death, so I can only say it?" Zhao Guodong smiled, "It must be said that Ningling Development Zone is much better than many other urban development zones. I also have to admit it and affirm this."

Liu Ruhuai, Lu Mianyang and even Li Daifu all wanted to hear Zhao Guodong's next sentence, but what was the following words.

"I looked at it, and with my previous understanding, the GDP growth rate of Ningling Economic and Technological Development Zone has been increasing by almost 30% since 1997, and even reached more than 60% at its highest. Of course, this is in the specific situation where the starting point was low at that time. The GDP this year will reach 1.3 billion, right?" Zhao Guodong smiled, "It looks quite dazzling. This is also the achievements of our development zone management committee working hard to achieve. It is worthy of recognition."

All members of the second-level team and above of the development zone who attended the meeting sat in the back and took notes seriously.

"But today I am not here to praise the achievements, I am here to find problems, so I only sing the praises here." Zhao Guodong changed the subject, "Everyone may know that our Ningling's GDP growth rate has always ranked first and second in the province in the three years before 2001. I am not saying that the GDP growth rate represents everything, but this is indeed the main data for observing a local economic development. This means that our Ningling's economic growth rate has experienced a three-year period of rapid development. However, in 2001, when the national economy of the province entered a prosperous period, Ningling's economic growth rate fell to fifth in the province, which is a sign worthy of alertness."

Zhao Guodong took a sip of water and put down the cup.

"According to my understanding, the economic growth rate of our city continued to slow down in the first quarter and still ranked fifth. Some comrades may say that we cannot rank first and second every year. That is not objective. This view is scientific. But I want to remind everyone that Ningling's total economic output is still in the lower reaches of the province, which means that the starting point is still relatively low. If we cannot catch up at this stage, no matter how our ranking changes, the gap between us and advanced regions in the province will grow bigger and bigger."

"Some of our comrades are arrogant and think that we are already very good compared to previous years. From the eleventh place to the ninth place, we put in great effort and effort for each move forward. This is true, but we can't just sit on the credit line and sleep and enjoy a happy life?" Zhao Guodong looked around with a gaze. "I don't look for shortcomings and shortcomings from real work, and I'm unwilling to face up to the existing problems. I just want to spend one day and count one day. This mentality is extremely dangerous. I have conducted a simple investigation in many counties and districts. There are different degrees of this problem, laziness and inertia, but I want to say that it is particularly serious in the development zone management committee."

"There is a reason why what I said is particularly serious. First, the economic development zone has developed the fastest in recent years, far higher than other counties and districts, and has developed arrogance of being arrogant and feeling that it is almost the same now, lacking the passion and sense of crisis for a second-term entrepreneurship. But I want to remind you that the reason why the development zone develops so quickly is inseparable from the city's full inclination in policy and funding projects. If you are placed on a platform like other counties and districts, can you achieve the current results? You can weigh it yourself! Please always remember this!"

"Second, since the development zone is a development zone, it is different from other districts and counties, because it does not have social management functions, unlike other counties and districts that still bear a heavy responsibility for social affairs. Of course, with the planning and construction of the second and third phases of the development zone, these social management functions will gradually be transferred. But at least in the early stage, you are dedicated to doing the same job, that is, to develop the economy. Under such conditions, what reason do you have not done better? The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government naturally have to put forward higher requirements for the development zone! Ask yourself, are you doing well enough?"

Zhao Guodong spoke in a calm tone and a kind face, but wherever his eyes projected, the members of the second-level team of the Management Committee felt an invisible pressure.

"When I was also the director of the Planning and Development Department of the Ministry of Energy, I discussed the economic development of Ningling with Vice Governor Weifeng. I believe that Ningling's rapid economic growth in the past few years was mainly due to two pillar industries, one is the production of power equipment and materials, and the other is the food industry. In terms of the food industry, Mayor Dai Fu introduced me that the growth is still good, especially the meat and milk processing industries in Hualin and Canghua counties, and show a positive development momentum. Vice Governor Weifeng and I discussed the power equipment and materials production industries. On this point, Governor Weifeng and I believed that Ningling had great potential to tap in the power equipment and materials production industries, but it had a stagnation or even decline. What is the reason?"

Zhao Guodong said that the pillar industry of Ningling Economic and Technological Development Zone is power equipment and material manufacturing, which was also a tailor-made industry for the development zone at that time. If this industry sneezes, the development zone will catch a cold.

"I looked at several companies today, and combined with the reports from the development zone that I heard and heard from the development zone management committee, I talked about my views and ideas." Zhao Guodong didn't want to talk more about economic issues. This should have been Li Daifu's business, but when he saw the current situation of Ningling Development Zone, he couldn't help but want to say a few words.
