Chapter 49: The Feng Shui Treasure Land with Dragons and Tigers

Zhao Guodong's research performance in the development zone gave a deep impression on the entourage who followed Zhao Guodong to participate. Compared with the low-key and taciturn words he had when Zhao Guodong came to Guining and Jing County when he came to investigate in the development zone before the New Year, Zhao Guodong now has obviously shown his strengths.

At the team and middle-level cadres meeting of the Development Zone Management Committee, Zhao Guodong commented on his feelings about Huaiqing Industrial Development Zone. He was positive, but he pointed out the problems and raised hopes. This made the cadres of the entire Development Zone Management Committee look a little depressed. It was obvious that the new Mayor Zhao had a bad impression of the development zone. The few points were more like comforting clichés, but the questions raised were all insightful and tingling. Even Mei Yeping, who had been mentally prepared, felt his face burning.

"Lao Mei, the investment promotion meeting is not my whim. I have exchanged views with Secretary Chen and Mayor He. They all agree with this idea. In name, it is the city's investment promotion meeting, but the main force is your development zone, and other districts and counties must also participate. The task I give you is that the development zone must show a brand new look at this discussion."

Zhao Guodong sat in the back seat of Coaster's car, and the car drove slowly along the avenue planned by the development zone. In addition to understanding the business operation status of the development zone, Zhao Guodong also hoped to have an emotional understanding of the geographical environment of the entire development zone, so he asked Mei Yeping to take him for a walk.

"Mayor Zhao, you have really won us this exam. In just two or three months, the development zone will be able to come up with new highlights and improve even if it is done with all its strength." Mei Yeping felt anxious. He already understood Zhao Guodong's style, that is, do what he said, either he did not say it, or he had to fulfill it, or even hesitated to tear his face.

In order to pay arrears for work-study companies under the Education Bureau, Zhao Guodong clearly pointed out at the Municipal Government Office Meeting that the Municipal Education Bureau must fulfill its guarantee obligations and recover the loan within a time limit, otherwise it will be held accountable by relevant leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau. This aroused strong dissatisfaction from the deputy mayor in charge. The two of them met in the meeting, and even He Zhao could not control the scene in Chengdu. Zhao Guodong's domineering and fierceness made An Ran, who had always been respected at the Municipal Government Office Meeting, and it was difficult for him to accept it. It is said that when he left the conference room, he was already full of tears, which also won the great sympathy of several other deputy mayors.

But this has also made many people in the municipal government feel a little afraid of the new executive vice mayor. In Mei Yeping's opinion, Zhao Guodong is even more difficult to deal with than He Zhaocheng. Mayor He came just to take a quick look and raise some general hopes and demands. However, Zhao Guodong was different. He didn't read it carefully, but he also had to personally talk to the business owners and managers. He even put all the cadres of the Management Committee aside. The questions raised were extremely sharp, which made all the cadres of the Management Committee, including Mei Yeping, feel an unprecedented pressure.

"The saying of not judging heroes by victory or defeat is the same as the slogan of friendship first and second in our original words. It is pure nonsense. Lao Mei is now racing against time to keep pace with the times. An investor wants to invest in Anyuan. He may choose you Huaiqing, or Mianzhou, and more likely to choose Blue Mountain. But he will never invest in both places or three places. How can you defeat your opponent and win the favor of investors? This is a life-and-death battle, and there is no draw at all."

Zhao Guodong glanced at Mei Yeping, "Old Mei, I'm not forcing you. Two months is enough for you to do a lot of things in a solid manner. I have said that the environment is safe, the service is friendly to business, and the policy is rich. Your management committee can make a fuss about these three points. With such a good hardware environment, it is a good thing that places like Ningling and Nanhua dare not think about. How to improve work style, improve service quality, and create an optimized environment is the top priority. If you solve this problem, I believe that the development zone can shine completely at this talk meeting in June."

"Mayor Zhao, I understand what you said, but it's just that time is too urgent. The development zone is in a special situation, and it may be counterproductive to be eager to achieve success."

Mei Yeping also knew the crux of the development zone now, but the development zone management committee has always been the back garden of leaders at all levels in the city. All kinds of related households have flocked to the development zone management committee. They have a lot of money and easy work, which has made countless people envious. Zhao Guodong has already stirred up such a big storm in the city, and now he has to push the storm to the development zone. Naturally, the secretary and director of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone Management Committee of his own development zone is unable to stay out of it. This has indeed made Mei Yeping feel huge pressure.

"Lao Mei, I want to criticize your idea!" Zhao Guodong said in a deep voice: "I know you are worried about what you are afraid of. Are you just worried that if you improve your work style and implement the system, you may offend some leaders' relatives and families? I tell you that this is work, not treating guests to dinner. If you don't want to offend them, then you have to offend me, you choose for yourself!"

Mei Yeping didn't expect that Zhao Guodong felt so agile, and his words were so straightforward, and his face was hot again. However, he was not angry but happy. There were so many people sitting in the car. Secretary-General Qin of the Municipal Government, Municipal Planning and Development Bureau, Municipal Economic Commission, Municipal Finance Bureau, Municipal Government Policy Research Office, and several members of the Management Committee and the Central Government, just released the news so that the relevant people could understand their situation. In this case, if anyone still didn't open his eyes and wanted to hit the limelight, then he would not blame him.

Seeing Mei Yeping lowered his head and said nothing, and he looked aggrieved, Zhao Guodong also sighed in his heart that this guy was also a smart guy. He chose to act like this at this time, just to use his "notorious name" to be a tiger skin and pass on the words through these people in the car. If he really hits him in the future, it is no wonder that he is forced to do everything. Otherwise, he would have to ask him.

Zhao Guodong didn't say much. Coaster slowly wandered around several square kilometers of the development zone management committee. At the edge, he saw a winding ridge extending to the northwest from a distance.

"Old Mei, what is that place?" Zhao Guodong asked casually.

"Oh, that's Canglong Valley, which is also the tail of the edge of our development zone, a mountain nest." Mei Yeping glanced at it and replied.

"Oh? Our development zone is flat, how could a ridge appear here?" Zhao Guodong looked carefully. The ridge is not high, but it seems a bit abrupt and majestic on the plains of this development zone. The pine and green cypress on the ridge have a history of more than ten years, and a crooked mud road winds in.

"Well, this is the place. It's said that this is a flying mountain. Mayor Zhao, look, the terrain is a bit majestic, right? Going further north, the terrain will be even higher, but this ridge is not connected to other ridges." Mei Yeping introduced enthusiastically, "Behind this ridge is Hunhe River, which circles around this ridge. I heard that the development zone also wanted to attract investors to develop this place and make a summer resort. As a result, many people caught their eyes. In the end, they shook their heads. It turned out that the Feng Shui master said that the yin energy here is too heavy and it is not suitable for a yang house, but it is a Feng Shui treasure land for a yin house."

"Oh? There is still such a saying?" Zhao Guodong laughed.

"That's not the case. I invited many Feng Shui masters to come and said this. I think it's enough for such a large mountain nest and a cemetery house." Mei Yeping smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful. "It's a pity that such a large mountain is very barren. The pine and cypress are twenty or thirty years old. It's just like that. The bottom is still bare and ugly, so it's just this waste."

Zhao Guodong felt a little moved, and a thought arose, but he did not show it, "Lao Mei, how far is this place from the city center? I'm afraid it's several kilometers?"

"Well, this is just hanging alone here, three or four kilometers away from our management committee, and it is probably not six or seven kilometers away from the city." Mei Yeping smiled, "Do Mayor Zhao think the scenery here is unique? There is a Pudu Temple behind this mountain ridge. A little further away, there is a Miaoyue Temple there, but it is a little smaller and the incense is not high, so only some elderly people nearby come to walk around."

"Let's go, Lao Qin, Lao Mei, let's go down and take a look." The car drove closer and closer, and then there was a undulating dirt road. Although Coaster's territory was not low, he didn't dare to drive up again.

Qin Xiangnan never thought that Mayor Zhao suddenly became interested in such a hill. Mei Yeping said that the scenery here is purely because Wang Po sells melons and boasts about it. Just like this lonely mountain nest, surrounded by a small river, dare you say that the scenery is unique?

He didn't want to go down, but Zhao Guodong invited him, so he couldn't refuse, so he had to stand up with a wry smile. Before Zhao Guodong could stop the car, he had already rushed down, and Mei Yeping also jumped out of the car.

"Mayor Zhao, why can't you find such a good scenery in Ningling?" Qin Xiangnan walked a few steps and caught up with Zhao Guodong who was walking forward quickly, but he did not dare to show a teasing smell in his words.

"Old Qin, there is a deep hill area on Ningling. If you want to talk about the mountains, it is not the same as Huaiqing. But should you talk about the mountains? Canglong Valley is really a bit different. Look, does this mountain look like a lying dragon? If I read it correctly, this is the dragon coiling trend mentioned in Feng Shui. When you look at the mountain there, it was originally the hem of the dragon's tail, but it suddenly rose up, not like a squatting cat. No, it should be called a tiger. This is the tiger cliff in Feng Shui terms. Lao Mei said that the terrain here is not unreasonable."
