Section 1: Not ordinary

Audi has difficulty trekking through the river of vehicles. Although it is less than 5:30 pm and there is still some time before the peak hours of get off work, An Metro City has shown that the urban disease of "international metropolis" has emerged in advance in this regard.

The six-lane Yulin Avenue is filled with cars, and it is endless to see. The exhaust gas emitted by the car and the hot fog brought by the start of the air conditioner are wandering in the long queue of traffic. In addition, the sun still hanging high and powerful, the entire western suburbs of Andu City is like a huge oven, scoring the drivers' endurance bottom line.

The driver of the Liuzhou Wuling bus in front was so hot that he took off his shirt. His naked spine was wet and he kept honking his horn anxiously. The driver of the Anqi Lanlong taxi on the right also looked helpless and stuck here, and he didn't know when he would have a day to make a comeback.

The car dragon in front is endless and there is no end at all. Often, the convoys of hundreds of meters ahead move, and it will take several minutes to transmit it to this place.

"What's going on? Is it blocked again?" Zhao Guodong looked at his watch, walked on the Anxiang Expressway, went from Ningling West Station, and got off at the Andu Que Yazui Toll Station. It took only more than two hours to about 300 kilometers. Peng Changgui kept the Audi car quietly between 12 and 140 yards, with almost no blockage along the way, which was quite fast and convenient.

Although the Anxiang Expressway has been open for several months, the expensive toll still restricts the enthusiasm of trucks and large and medium-sized buses to take the expressway. National Highway 915 finally won a period of decompression after the Anxiang Expressway was opened. The Provincial Department of Transportation has also begun to carry out a new round of repairs to National Highway 915, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the drivers of the big trucks at all, which also made the drivers of the small trucks happy to take a very relaxed and pleasant expressway.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered Andu City, I encountered such an unlucky thing. Half an hour passed, and I guessed that I had only walked three or four kilometers, stopping and stopping. Even if the constant temperature air conditioner in the Audi car was very comfortable, it would not be a pleasure to sit in the car like this.

"It's all right, Zhao***, everyone is very enthusiastic about buying cars these days. Haven't you seen the car sales advertisements of "China City Daily" every day? Yesterday, BAIC Hyundai released new products, Volkswagen released new models today, and GM will hold an event tomorrow. After tomorrow, An Automobile will launch its main models again. A small half of them are car advertisements in a newspaper. Various preferential and promotional policies are as numerous as a cow. House prices are so high that you can't afford to buy a house, but getting a car to drive is also a sign of entering a well-off society ahead of schedule." Peng Changgui said happily: "Traffic congestion in An Metropolis is getting worse day by day. A little obstruction there will be a large-scale traffic jam. I heard that An Metropolis is soliciting opinions from citizens on how to solve the congestion problem. Two of the main measures are: one is to build a subway, and the other is to build a rapid ring ring and the No. 3 ring ring."

Zhao Guodong also heard about the discussion on the construction of the subway in Andu, which is no longer a new thing.

As early as the end of the Nine Five-Year Plan a few years ago, Ning Fa, then governor, proposed that Andu City should consider taking the subway to alleviate the increasingly severe traffic situation in Andu City. However, the Andu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government did not agree on this issue. During the period when Miao Zhenzhong served as the Andu Municipal Party Committee, he actually adopted a shelved cold-handling attitude towards the issue of whether to take the subway.

Andu City is not angry, and no matter how interested the province is, it can only be verbally verbally. It was not until Miao Zhenzhong stepped down as the Andu City Committee and Sun Lianping took office as the Andu City Committee. The issue of going to the subway project became more enthusiastic again, but then it faced the huge impact of the national macro-control policy. In addition, Andu City's fiscal revenue has been sluggish. It can be said that if it were not for the surge in land transfer fees brought about by the rise of the real estate industry, Andu City's finance would be quite difficult.

As for the latter issue that Peng Changgui mentioned, Zhao Guodong had only heard it soon. It is said that it was the idea of ​​the new mayor Guan Jingshan. Mayor Guan believes that the traffic congestion problem in Andu City has reached an urgent point. If Andu City does not make a decisive decision and puts the solution on the agenda, three to five years later, Andu City may face a difficult dilemma.

Mayor Guan was also quite bold and immediately proposed two ideas of building the Ring Express Ring and the No. 3 Ring.

The construction of the Ring Express Ring Line can completely divert transit vehicles across the periphery of Andu City. Through this high-level express passage, although these vehicles may be longer during detours, they can save traffic jams and consumption in the city for traffic lights, and can also alleviate the increasingly prominent problems of car noise and exhaust pollution.

The No. 3 Ring Road focuses on the urban development of Andu, and has suddenly blocked the No. 2 Ring Road outward for nearly two kilometers. In fact, this area has already had a prototype of the city. If this area is not included in the urban planning as soon as possible, when urban construction reaches this area in the future, it will face a more difficult and complex demolition black hole.

As for the subway issue, the new Andu mayor, Guan Jingshan, also actively supports it. However, given that the subway investment is too large, the financial situation in Andu City is difficult to support this gold-swalking black hole. Moreover, the construction period is long and there are many uncertainties. Therefore, Guan Jingshan is more inclined to build the No. 3 Ring Road and the Ring Expressway first, and carry out preliminary work on subway construction.

Zhao Guodong had never met the new Mayor Andu, but he also learned some of the new Mayor Andu style from Lan Dai.

Guan Jingshan, who is a heroic and virtuous person in the north, has also had a careful thinking. In the past few months, the relationship with Sun Lianping, the municipal party committee member, has been getting along well. On some major issues, although Sun Lianping may not agree with it, at least he has not raised any objections on important occasions. It is said that this depends on Guan Jingshan's communication and coordination ability. One or two tasks that were shelved in the era of Yao Wenzhi were restarted under the promotion of Guan Jingshan, and Sun Lianping no longer resolutely opposed it like Yao Wenzhi was mayor, which shows the skill and ability of Mayor Guan.

It is said that Guan Jingshan and Yan Limin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, also had a good relationship. Lan Dai learned some subtle and secret things from Song Rufei, director of the Andu Office in Beijing, which also provided a lot of help for Zhao Guodong to understand the current power structure and *** pattern of Andu City.

Zhao Guodong had no intention of inquiring about Andu City, but Ningling's aggressive development trend this year is said to have caused great pressure to Sun Lianping and Guan Jingshan. Both of them have now raised Ningling to the level of strategic competitors, which makes Zhao Guodong quite flattered.

During Zhao Guodong's study at the Central Party School, Ying Dongliu and Qin Haoran both mentioned the development ideas and achievements of Ningling City when inspecting the urbanization and high-tech industry demonstration zones in Jiangkou and Meishan, Andu City respectively. Some news from Andu City said that Sun Lianping and Guan Jingshan also proposed on different occasions that Andu cadres should cheer up and be brave after knowing their shame. They deeply reflected on the fundamental reasons why Andu lag behind in recent years, and required the city's cadres to have a new look and a new atmosphere, which fundamentally changed the decline in Andu's social and economic development in recent years.

However, in Zhao Guodong's view, if Andu City only puts competition standards on second-level cities in the province like Ningling, it would be a manifestation of insufficient self-confidence. Now Ningling no longer lists second-level cities in the province as the catch-up target, but looks further away, such as the last few with GDP exceeding 100 billion in 2003, such as Zibo in Shandong Province, Nantong in Jiangsu Province, and Shaoxing in Zhejiang Province. This is the catch-up target determined by Ningling in 2004.

In Zhao Guodong's opinion, you can only work hard and work hard when you set your goals a little higher. If you position them according to the expected goals, it is a psychological hint of laziness and self-sufficiency, and you can often only reach that hurdle.

Andu listed Ningling as a competitor, undoubtedly trying to use Andu's advantageous position as a provincial capital city to attract investment and project planning within the province to ** Ningling. This is normal.

Ningling has used the incompatibility of the main leaders of Andu City and the provincial functional departments to avoid being keen on Andu City in the past one or two years to obtain financial support for Andu City. Now Sun Lianping and Guan Jingshan have realized this and began to consciously adjust their work style and methods, and actively maintain close relations with provincial departments. It seems that the arrival of Guan Jingshan and the pressure from the provincial party committee have caused some changes in the work of Andu City.

Zhao Guodong had a feeling that since Han Du officially notified that he had been promoted to a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, his mentality began to undergo some subtle changes consciously or unconsciously.

In just a few days, he felt signs of his own change. For example, when considering some issues, he was no longer just from the perspective of Ningling Municipal Party Committee. He subconsciously wanted to think about the views of the main leaders of the province and other municipal leaders on some things. Zhao Guodong was wondering if he was in the state too quickly, or he was a little prepared for a long time, so he felt natural, but this feeling was really different.

Sometimes Zhao Guodong himself finds it a little funny, as if he had a premonition that he would definitely be able to be promoted this time, so he seemed particularly easy to adapt to in terms of mentality. He didn't know whether his colleagues in the city felt it, whether there was any change in his every move during this period, or after he was promoted to the Standing Committee, a completely different aura surged all over his body.
