Chapter 16 Preaching

A series of questions and answers made the group of people on and off the stage change with Zhao Guodong's ideas.

"I think the key is one point, concept!" Zhao Guodong pointed to his head and made the final decision: "We have a problem with our concept. We think that as long as we sincerely invite investors to invest, we provide better basic conditions, such as land, policies, water and circuits, etc., so that investors should come to us to invest, but what is the result?"

"The backward concept determines that our investment promotion will find it difficult to achieve satisfactory results. No one has formed a concept of creating a soft environment. In this competitive environment, we can only get one move, one step slower, and one step slower!" Zhao Guodong looked around and said proudly: "If we still hold that as long as our hardware conditions are good enough, there will definitely be merchants willing to come to invest here, or we can provide more preferential policies and land prices to attract investment, which can only be a drinking poison to quench thirst!"

The concept of a soft environment proposed by Zhao Guodong has made everyone here a little clear, but what does this specific soft environment mean? These people are still somewhat plausible.

"Maybe many people here are not sure what this soft environment is reflected in, or what it means? Let me explain it briefly. In short, it is the ideological awareness, service attitude and quality of our Management Committee, the credit reputation of the Management Committee, the implementation of the three public institutions of the law enforcement agency, and the humanistic environment in our development zone."

"What does the concept mean? That is, we must establish the concept of serving investors wholeheartedly and thinking about them. The kind of departmental interests are supreme. If you don't ask for it, I won't do it. You should firmly abandon the idea of ​​taking the manager. The service attitude and quality are easy to understand. I won't say much. In one sentence, it means serving the whole process, providing consultation before investment, serving the whole process during investment, accepting complaints after investment, and improving it inadequately. I'm afraid everyone is a little confused about the credit reputation of the management committee. What does this have to do with the credit reputation of the management committee? Of course, it has something to do with the credit reputation of the management committee. Only when your management organization has a considerable credibility can investors believe that your commitments and guarantees can be realized. The policies are changing, and the politics are long. Due to the different administrative departments and regulations, these will greatly damage the credibility of the government and dampen the investment enthusiasm of investors."

"The three public, open, fair and fair in the law enforcement environment. Only by implementing these three points and allowing investors to feel the good environment for investment and development with credibility can they be assured to invest, work, live a stable life, and property safety. As for the humanistic environment, it is necessary to create a harmonious atmosphere that makes investors feel at home. This atmosphere is multifaceted, from the urban environment to public facilities, from the quality of citizens to the social security situation, from the entrepreneurial atmosphere of progress to the level of being as close as a family, so that they can feel that they want to stay here to work and live. This is a real success!"

Zhao Guodong's series of narratives caused silence on and off the stage. Almost everyone was thinking about the concept proposed by Zhao Guodong. The previous sensible but not vague views were systematically summarized, which made the cadres of the Management Committee seem to have a lot of clarity in their minds.

Now the war for investment merchants in the development zones across the province is in full swing, especially since the second half of this year, the number of merchants coming to Ningling Economic Development Zone to consult and conduct investment business matters has decreased significantly. The turmoil in the Southeast Asian financial market has begun to affect the country, making the battle situation in the whole country and the province more intense on how to achieve economic growth.

How to become a winner in the competition, Zhao Guodong’s series of views is indeed thought-provoking.

Zhao Guodong's remarks successfully captured the hearts of everyone present. If the members of the team on the rostrum and the middle-level cadres below were worried about their future, then more cadres were worried about their income.

The economic and technological development zone is directly managed by the city, and there is no first-level finance. The expenditure is subject to an accounting system. However, the development zone has always been the pearl in the city, and all financial expenses are not strictly stuck. The various bonuses at the end of each year are nominally the same as those in the city, but in fact, many projects are unique and much higher than those in the city. Although all are nominally grassroots, many cadres also cut their heads and want to drill into the development zone.

Due to the poor development momentum of the development zone, many departments in the city also complained about the development zone, believing that the benefits created by this unit rank at the end of the province, but the income must be the first in the city. Such treatment is obviously unfair. Therefore, since last year, the income of the cadres of the Development Zone Management Committee began to be linked to performance, and the bonus allowances have dropped significantly compared with the previous year. The situation this year seems to be worse, which also made all the cadres feel panicked.

Especially after the new Mayor Shu inspected the development zone, he said bluntly that such a development zone could be abolished, and the municipal government would not spend money to support a group of idle people who could only spend money but not create benefits. As soon as these remarks came out, the development zone was in a situation where everyone was in danger. At this time, Huang Kun, the leader of the Management Committee, escaped and left a mess, which made all cadres feel cold.

"I just mentioned the first point, that is concept. If we think that the first point needs to be digested and savored carefully, then let me talk about the second point of positioning, which is directly related to the work of everyone here. Positioning, what is the positioning of our Ningling Development Zone? To put it bluntly, what is the goal plan we set for our Ningling Development Zone? What are the leading industries that our development zone hopes to introduce and develop, and what have we done to attract the entry of the leading industries? What are the shortcomings?"

On and off the stage, there were solemnity, and many people had already subconsciously started to find a pen to record.

"I also conducted a brief investigation on the companies entering our Ningling Development Zone and sorted out the questions. I used one word to describe it, that is a pile of loose sand!"

Zhang Tianfang, who was sitting on the rostrum, smiled bitterly. It seemed that this kid would not give up if he didn't put the face of the men in the development zone and ravaged them well.

This is also good, and it will save these pampered idle men from doing nothing all day long. Cadres from other departments in the city have long been extremely dissatisfied with the leisurely and comfortable income of the development zone but a little higher. When they go to various ministries and commissions for assessment every year, they always hear all kinds of criticisms. The city also under great pressure. After Shu Zhigao came to Ningling, it has been clearly stated that the municipal government should change the situation of spending a lot of money to raise idle people in the development zone. It seems that they are preparing to cut off food in the development zone.

"What kind of enterprises do our development zone want to introduce? As long as there are companies, they will bring them in without any care. As long as they can create output value and pay taxes and profits? Maybe some people will say, what else can you dislike when it is this time? Beggars still think porridge is bad? This view seems to make sense at a rough look, but I want to tell him that it is a big mistake!"

Zhao Guodong's eyes were bright and his aura was as powerful as a mountain. Everyone in the audience felt his tone fluctuating with his eyes and gestures, making people unable to help but follow his thoughts.

"I tell you, experience tells us that the dominant industry of an economic development zone can only have one or two items at most, two or three items. Especially for municipal development zones like ours, the concept of greed for big and completeness can only be to lose watermelon and pick up sesame seeds, and finally cook them into raw rice!"

"Think about it, if you introduce a large number of high-energy-consuming and high-pollution industries such as paper mills, electroplating factories, and tannery in the development zone, it will inevitably have an impact on the surrounding environment, and it will be difficult for you to attract labor-intensive or technology-intensive enterprises to settle down, or there will be conflicts between the two. Only by establishing a development orientation for your own development zone in advance, and then working hard to develop towards this orientation can you truly build this development zone into a development zone with its own characteristics, rather than a hodgepodge of four-dimensional appearances. The result will only be that the industrial advantages cannot be formed and eventually eliminated!"

"Perhaps someone will ask me, what is the dominant industry of our Ningling Economic and Technological Development Zone? Sorry, I don't know! I am not a god. I can point fingers and make a grand blueprint just now. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. I think I will conduct a targeted investigation with Director Zehai and several other leaders of the Management Committee as soon as possible after I come down, and come up with a plan quickly!"

"Comrades, the historical trend of reform and opening up is irreversible. Historical opportunities have given us the tide of economic construction. How we seize this historical opportunity to create a new history depends on the wisdom and efforts of everyone here. Finally, I reiterate one thing, that is, the development zone does not raise idle people. In the words of Mayor Shu, Ningling cannot afford idle people now. Everyone in the development zone, including me and Director Zehai, must devote themselves to a job, that is, attract investment and speak of performance! No matter which department you belong to, you will have the same responsibility!"

"I will discuss with Director Zehai and several other leaders with the specific plan and come up with a real quantitative indicator. Otherwise, our development zone will not be able to explain to the city by the end of the year! Okay, my speech is over. Thank you for spending so long to listen to my words. If there is anything wrong or offensive, please forgive me!"
