Chapter 58 Assistant Governor

Zhang Hongwei's appointment as a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Provincial Government did not cause much trouble. The Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee also quickly appointed Zhang Hongwei as the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, which had been hanging for a long time. However, there is also a very subtle detail in this, that is, Zhang Hongwei did not immediately serve as the assistant to the governor. Many people thought that Zhang Hongwei would definitely serve as the assistant to the governor directly, but this was not the case.

At the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, there was also aroused heated debate because of Zhang Hongwei's assistant to the governor. Organization Minister Qi Hua suggested temporarily stop personnel changes and wait until the provincial party committee ended before studying. This opinion was recognized by the vast majority of the Standing Committee members attending the meeting. Although Zhao Guodong and Yang Jinguang both proposed that work needs should be given priority, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee still decided to wait until the provincial party committee was settled before studying personnel issues.

Zhao Guodong once again realized that he had a weak voice on many issues. Although Yang Jinguang supported him strongly, both Ba Jianqiang and Guan Jingshan were absent from the meeting. Traditional neutral factions such as Feng Gang, Ding Sen and Hao Mengxia did not stand on their side. Miao Zhenzhong did not make a clear statement. However, Zhao Guodong knew that the old fox had long realized that this problem was difficult to pass, and cleverly expressed neutrality, which also made him lose this time with a considerable gap in strength.

In fact, this is not a big deal. It is only a matter of time before Zhang Hongwei becomes the assistant to the governor. It seems that the problem is not big a month or later, but Zhao Guodong keenly realizes that some people seem to want to make a fuss about this issue and reject their proposals, as if they can create an impression on the outside world.

Zhang Hongwei didn't come to Anyuan many times before. Of course, he must have come to Anyuan to Andu. He has fewer opportunities to go to the city. He did not have a deep impression of Andu.

As one of the few sub-provincial cities in the inland areas, Andu was once famous in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was once second only to Guangzhou in terms of overall economic strength. However, with the ups and downs of the country in the mid-to-late 1990s, Andu's development gradually slowed down or even stagnated, and the economic growth rate quickly dropped from higher than the provincial average to lower than the provincial average. Moreover, its recession was even irreversible, and it declined again and again, and fell to a very dangerous situation.

Compared with the rapid development of other cities in Anyuan, Andu has thus entered a stage known as the "decline of decline". The economic growth rate has remained at a low level between two and four percent for a long time, a large number of state-owned enterprises are in trouble, and fiscal revenue has plummeted. For a long time, the main leaders of Andu City were looking for ways to regain their strength.

From Yao Wenzhi's beginning with the integrated electronics and software industry as a breakthrough point, to the advantageous industries and emerging industries proposed by Guan Jingshan when he was mayor, and to the fact that Tan Lifeng was thinking about changing Andu's positioning and determining the development of the tertiary industry as the core goal, the previous and subsequent mayors of Andu were exploring a path suitable for Andu, but he still has not been able to come up with something worth seeing.

Juyi Building is located on the bank of Ningjiang River in the east of the city. The 52-story building is not conspicuous in Andu City, but it feels like it is unique here.

The location is quite good.

Meijiang and Ningjiang meet here, with shallows, sandbanks, green shades, grasslands, and rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that there is the Babao Well built in the Northern Wei Dynasty for more than 1,500 years, Meizizhou Park, covering an area of ​​more than 300 acres, and the Qingniu Temple, which is relatively high at Yuma Mountain, is also incense-rich Qingniu Temple.

It is said that Lao Tzu rode a green cow out of Hangu Pass. After passing through Andu, he stopped at Meizizhou. The green cow was unlucky here, so there is now Qingniu Temple. A majestic green cow up to three meters high in the square in front of the Guanguan was made of bronze. It was built by many Taoist believers during the Republic of China. The green cow became a great victory among the eight major scenic spots in Andu.

"Governor, I feel that every inch of Andu's land is soaked with the weight of history. I really like it here."

Zhang Hongwei stood in front of the large glass window to look at the darkening sky. A light band under his feet lit up one after another. Cars like beetles lined up in neat formations and slowly drove towards their respective targets.

The Yuma Bridge crosses the river from the south of the Yangtze River and stands directly under the Mashan Mountain.

Yuma Mountain is said to be trapped in the north of the Yangtze River when Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty lost his throne and fled south. Later, a white horse broke out from the river and cut out the waves. Emperor Jianwen was panicked and was in a panic. When he pulled his saddle and got on the horse, he actually dropped his saddle when he was on the horse. He didn't have time to reinstall his saddle and fled across the river. The mountain was named Yuma Mountain, and the place where the saddle fell was named Luoanba.

This is a bustling downtown area east of the city, with the famous Embassy Road here, and the consulates of the United States, Britain, France and Japan in Andu are all located in this area.

"Magic, are you sincere or pleased?" Zhao Guodong leaned back on the sofa beside the table and stared thoughtfully outside the window. The gradually darkening sky and the sky and the red clouds formed a beautiful picture scroll. The scale-shaped clouds seemed to be still, but under the illumination of the glow, it showed a sparkling golden color.

"Haha, Governor, is my character so questionable?" Zhang Hongwei turned around and returned to his position with a smile. "Although Andu is not as majestic as the capital, it has its own atmosphere. As the most historical city in the inland area, I think Andu can completely become the core hub city in our inland area."

"Your words may be quite satisfied with Guan Jingshan and Tan Lifeng. They have been pursuing this goal, but they have not yet found a realistic development path." Zhao Guodong shook the wine glass in his hand and gently sniffed the mellow fragrance emitted by the wine. Tasting wine is not about the result, but about this process. If there is a person who is in love with you, it will undoubtedly be a pleasant night.

"I will find it. Andu has a huge economy like Anyuan as a backing. It needs to find its positioning and then determine what role it should play in the future economic system based on its positioning. This is very important. I feel that Mayor Tan seems to care about your views and has been listening carefully."

Zhang Hongwei has amazing observation skills.

In the afternoon, Zhao Guodong and Zhang Hongwei attended the launch ceremony of the protection and restoration project of a Tang Dynasty unearthed cultural site in an old city of Andu in the city. This was the second largest archaeological discoveries in the country last year.

Archaeologists discovered that there was a group of Tang Dynasty tombs under this construction site, and it had a lot of tomb artifacts. Its architectural structure and the atmosphere of the times were quite representative. Tan Lifeng attended the ceremony in Andu City. After the ceremony, Zhao Guodong and Tan Lifeng talked for half an hour. Zhang Hongwei felt that Tan Lifeng attaches great importance to Zhao Guodong's opinions, even surpassing the general mayor's attitude towards the governor. You should know that Andu City is a sub-provincial city and its status in Anyuan is extraordinary, and Tan Lifeng's attitude is not as simple as purely out of respect.

"Maybe, Tan Lifeng is a very smart character, and I have a relationship with him." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Guodong's mouth.

"Oh?" Zhang Hongwei's interest increased greatly.

Zhao Guodong introduced the subtle relationship between himself and Tan Lifeng in Huaiqing, which made Zhang Hongwei very surprised and interesting.

Although he knew that Zhao Guodong was defeated and left Maicheng in the Anyuan political arena, he did not expect that there would be such a rich story behind it, especially this divorce and reunion involved so many big names, from Ning Fa who was already a member of the Politburo and Ying Dongliu, who was a member of the Politburo, as well as Ge Jing, executive vice minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and Chen Yinglu in the province, he also involved the current team of Huaiqing City. It was really ups and downs, like a TV script.

"So the knot between you, Mayor Tan and Secretary Chen has been untied long ago?" Zhang Hongwei asked curiously.

"If you untie it or not, it depends on your own feelings. If you throw it away, you will throw it away. If you can't throw it away, you may never throw it away." Zhao Guodong shook his head and smiled without comment. "This question has different answers to everyone, and even every time period."

Zhang Hongwei nodded silently.

"Hongwei, the Standing Committee did not pass the appointment of your assistant governor yesterday. You have no burden, right?" Zhao Guodong raised his wine glass and signaled.

"Hehe, Governor, I must be a little emotional. I can't say the burden. Just like you said, what I deserve is mine, no one can take it, what I shouldn't be mine, you just force it, that's a shame, right?" Zhang Hongwei took a sip of red wine and smiled, "I'm just a little lost in front of a group of friends. They all said that I've been in the place. Not to mention the deputy governor, why didn't I even get an assistant to the governor? To be the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, I've really been addicted to the director, how can I bear it?"
