Chapter 64: Urgent

"Jinguang, our province's growth rate has declined a bit this year, and we are under great pressure. A few days ago, I went to Beijing to report on my work. Vice Premier Juehua is very concerned about the development of our Anyuan. He hopes that our Anyuan can play the leading role in the implementation of the strategy of rising central China. At present, the Western Development Strategy has been fully launched, and the economic development growth rate in the western region is quite amazing. In contrast, the development momentum in the central region has slowed down. Vice Premier Juehua has high hopes for our Anyuan. I feel a little unable to sleep at night."

Ying Dongliu's face was heavy. Yang Jinguang noticed that Ying Dongliu's temples had already had some bright hair, and they all grew up in the past or two years.

"As for ***, I also carefully analyzed the development of our Anyuan this year, and felt that our Anyuan economic development was extremely unbalanced and showed a polarized development trend. The causes were also multifaceted." Yang Jinguang said slowly with careful words: "Ningling, Yongliang and Huaiqing developed very quickly, and their growth rate has driven the economic growth rate of our province by several percentage points. For example, the traditional economic cities of Andu, Mianzhou and Jianyang have further slowed down this year, which is extremely disproportionate to the national development. The economic development of Tangjiang, Luhua and Rongshan has been lagging behind due to historical reasons. The provincial party committee has also adjusted its team. It may take some time to achieve results in the adjustment of its industrial structure, while the development of the other cities is full of joy and sorrow."

"I think our Anyuan economy will improve next year. On the one hand, we must unswervingly adjust the industrial structure, and on the other hand, we must choose the right breakthrough point. For example, Jianyang, Mianzhou and Lanshan were originally the mainstays of our Anyuan economy, but now the development speed has declined. I think this problem should be the key. If we want our Anyuan economy to restore its rapid growth momentum, we must make a fuss in these cities."

Ying Dongliu knew that Yang Jinguang avoided mentioning another key city - Andu. In fact, the severe decline in Andu's economic development is the biggest for Anyuan economy. Just when the national economic development was in full swing, Andu's economic growth rate this year only reached 5.4%, which was more than six percentage points lower than the province's growth rate, which also dragged down the province's economic growth rate.

The Andu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have a dissatisfaction. Sun Lianping, deputy provincial party committee and Andu Municipal Party Committee ***, and Yao Wenzhi, mayor of Andu Municipality, are not consistent in many views, which makes the two teams of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government play their own trumpets and sing their own tunes quite serious. Ying Dongliu was not very satisfied with some of Sun Lianping's actions. He once criticized Andu's work for lack of enterprising spirit. The main leaders followed the rules and followed the steps, but the results were not good.

When Sun Lianping exchanged his opinions with Ying Dongliu twice, he proposed that the provincial party committee should consider adjusting Mayor Yao Wenzhi, which also aroused Ying Dongliu's great disgust.

Ying Dongliu did not agree with the other party's opinion. Although he was not very optimistic about Yao Wenzhi, he felt that the key to Andu's economic development lies with the municipal party committee, and Sun Lianping himself should bear greater responsibilities on this issue.

The Andu problem is the biggest problem, but Andu is a sub-provincial city, and Sun Lianping is the deputy provincial party committee member. He has just been in office for two years. It is obvious that Ying Dongliu wants to achieve adjustments that meet his intentions through normal procedures. The central government obviously will not agree. This is also a time when he feels that he is as powerful as the provincial party committee member.

Ying Dongliu gathered up some unnecessary emotions and returned to the cities mentioned by Yang Jinguang.

Mianzhou, Anyuan ***, has strong scientific and educational strength, and the four major industries of general machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, non-ferrous metal processing and mining have supported Mianzhou's economic tycoon. Due to the slowdown in development in the past two or three years, it has been surpassed by Yongliang and Jianyang.

Jianyang, power generation equipment, power machinery, pressure vessels, optical instruments, instruments and other industries have a strong foundation in the entire Anyuan and even the central and western regions. They have been competing with Mianzhou for the position of Anyuan as the top, but the growth rate is also slowing down. While finally surpassing Mianzhou last year, they were overtaken by Yongliang in one fell swoop, and they still couldn't get rid of the position of the third-year-old, and were also caught up by Huaiqing behind them at a very fast pace.

The three major industries of Blue Mountain, steel, phosphorus chemical industry and mining have always accounted for one-third of the economy and have rich natural tourism resources. In recent years, the tourism and service industries have developed rapidly, and have gradually become another growth point that drives the city's economic development. The economic growth rate remains stable, but the momentum seems to be somewhat insufficient.

The key is Mianzhou and Jianyang. The sluggishness of these two major industrial cities and the sluggish economy of Andu directly led to a slowdown in the province's economic growth.

"Jinguang, I think Lanshan and Jianyang are the key. Both cities' leading industries have been relatively stable, but how to seek breakthroughs in stability is a new question. Can we further tap potential and develop while also consider introducing new industries to transform the old industrial structure? At this point, I think Mianzhou and Jianyang lack innovation. Why can Ningling extend to the new energy and new materials industry based on the original single power equipment and material manufacturing industry, and decisively cultivate these two emerging industries, becoming a nationally renowned silicon city. The Mianzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Jianyang Municipal Party Committee are worthy of deep thought." Ying Dongliu said while thinking.

"Yes, I have been thinking about Ningling's development model. At present, Ningling basically does not have purely municipal state-owned enterprises. Ningling Transformer Co., Ltd. is already controlled by the State-owned Power Group. Ningling State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission only accounts for 28% of the shares. Other state-owned enterprises such as Ningling Wine Industry and Ningling Fertilizer Factory have been transformed into private enterprises. Most of the enterprises that have recently entered Ningling are joint-stock or private enterprises. Why can Ningling become a paradise for a mixed economy dominated by private enterprises? However, in the economic development of cities and counties such as Huayang and Jianyang, which once became a model in the province, have fallen into a state of self-satisfaction? What is the reason?"

The questions raised by Yang Jinguang made Ying Dongliu feel moved. This former vice president of Anyuan University, who has the objective and detailed insight and analysis and judgment of scholars and has many government officials, has always been a role that Ying Dongliu admires very much. This is why he took great pains to pull the other party from the school to the provincial party committee as his right-hand assistant. It is obvious that Yang Jinguang has figured out some things that he raised a series of questions.

"Jinguang, what do you think?" Ying Dongliu nodded.

"I want to take a research team to Ningling and Huaihua for a few days, take a look, and see what they have in developing and cultivating new industries worth promoting, experience and enlightening." Yang Jinguang weighed the things in his hand. "Ningling's economy is so fast, it's shocking. I think it's certainly related to introducing large projects, but it's not just that simple. There are always some experiences worth learning from and promoting by other cities and cities. The General Office of the Provincial Government has passed something. A research team from the Institute of Industrial Economics and Technology Economics under the Institute of Macroeconomics of the National Development and Reform Commission is also very interested in Ningling's extraordinary development in the past year. I came to Ningling for investigation. I thought this happened, and I have always wanted to go and investigate, just for a companion."

Ying Dongliu was slightly stunned, "The research team from the National Development and Reform Commission? When will it come?"

"Next week, there will be five people in a group. I think that our provincial party committee political research office can also go to two people and I, plus five of them, eight people, and a station wagon will be enough." Yang Jinguang said with a smile.

"Next week? There are a lot of things next week. Jin Guang, why don't you arrange for Lao Chang to take people there?" Ying Dongliu thought for a while.

"Yes, I think I'd better go there. I've always wanted to take a look. Go down to the county and their development zone, exchange views with the main leaders of the county and districts, learn about their ideas, and see their industrial planning. Ningling's miracle can be dissected through the hands of me and the people of the Development and Reform Commission, and may be of some help to other cities and cities." Yang Jinguang insisted.

"Well, since that's the case, that's fine. Just go there, but I suggest you have some choices, mainly to understand some of the policy and system innovations in their city, and whether these innovations have promoted or promoted their economic development. A few days ago, Weifeng talked about a county in Ningling that dared to establish an entrepreneurial guarantee fund and use leverage to promote private investment. In addition, the Ningling Municipal Government is said to be actively contacting the Provincial People's Bank of China, China Merchants Bank, China Merchants Bank and other joint-stock commercial banks, and inviting them to set up branches in Ningling. These actions prove that the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are doing things seriously. I am also thinking about why the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government can think of what can be done, but other cities and cities can't do it?"

Ying Dongliu's words made Yang Jinguang feel very moved. The provincial party committee member is now in an unprecedented level of anxiety, especially as the whole country is facing such a development situation, while other brother provinces and cities are chasing each other, but the development momentum of the province is not satisfactory, which inevitably makes him feel a little disappointed.

Ying Dongliu can still maintain a steady and peaceful image in front of outsiders, but Ying Dongliu does not hide his anxiousness in front of him.

But some things are too haste to achieve. The economic development of a province cannot be changed overnight. Ningling's phenomenon is a very small number of alternatives after all, and you cannot expect such a shocking change in other regions.
