Volume 9, Chapter 67, Don't Get Out of the Machine
"Mayor, we Weicheng have some considerations." Deng Zhiquan calmed down and then opened his mouth: "The West Third Ring Road is faster than our South Third Ring Road, and our work is a bit behind. However, we are catching up to ensure that the progress is completed within the specified time in the city. We have also strengthened the connection with Qingchi County, striving to open traffic together at the same time node, and maximize the effect of the entire South Third Ring Road."
"In the area of infrastructure construction, I personally advocate that we should adapt to local conditions and not force our pursuit to avoid causing some unexpected factors. Overall, I have seen that the progress of the South Third Ring Road is still good. It is not a big problem to open traffic in the second half of next year. It is the end of the year at the latest. So in this case, how can you Weicheng take advantage of the advantages brought about by the opening of this intestinal obstruction that originally restricted your development? What are the considerations and plans for social and economic undertakings, especially economic work?"
"Mayor, I'm going to tell you, we were already studying this issue in April when we were about to start the South Third Ring Road. The High-tech Zone and Sanchuan are moving faster than us. I won't talk about the High-tech Zone, but Sanchuan Laoji is too fast, and we are working hard, but we are always slowing down. But we think this is good, and we don't rush to make a conclusion. We can conduct more careful and meticulous research and find out our own characteristics and advantages..."
"Oh? It seems that Lao Deng, you have some ideas. It's very good. Judging from the results, I am a more realistic person. It's not entirely your responsibility to be slower than Sanchuan. In fact, there is a certain time difference to the city, which can also relieve some pressure. You must make rapid progress, and the city's financial resources are a little unbearable." Sha Zhengyang smiled, "But since you are carefully planning and cultivating, I'm very interested in it. Let's talk about it."
Deng Zhiquan had long known that this mayor was a "crazy man" engaged in economic construction. As long as he was developing the economy and engaged in industries, he was very interested. When he went there to inspect and attend meetings, he always said that the core work of Zhongzhou City is to develop the economy and make up for the distance he had with other brother cities in the past few years.
This is a bit rude, but everyone knows it is the truth.
In the past five years, Zhongzhou's economic growth rate has been lower than Chengdu, Wuhan, Handu, Nanjing and Hangzhou, which have always been regarded as target cities that Zhongzhou has been catching up.
Although these cities are sub-provincial cities, and Zhongzhou has never linked these cities with its own cities in the past, when Sha Zhengyang came, he came up with a unique idea and set up a public notice board in the municipal government to mark all the various data of Zhongzhou and these cities.
This also includes the total gDP, gDP growth rate, per capita gDP, fiscal and fiscal revenue growth rate, per capita fiscal revenue, per capita disposable income and growth rate of urban residents, and per capita net income and growth rate of rural residents in the first five years. Since 2003, the economic growth rate, fixed asset investment growth rate, industrial investment growth rate, service industry investment growth rate, real estate investment growth rate, investment promotion implementation and contracted investment are listed one by one.
The economic operation analysis meeting in each quarter should be compared with this data table. Sha Zhengyang even made it clear at the meeting that starting from the fourth quarter of this year, each economic operation analysis meeting will require the first two people with the best data to exchange experiences, and the two people with the worst rankings will also ask the two people with the worst to make statements on how to catch up in the next step.
For those who fall in the last two quarters for two consecutive quarters, the main leaders go to the municipal party committee and government to conduct a review. For those who rank in the last two quarters for three consecutive quarters, the municipal party committee and government should launch an accountability mechanism to investigate whether the party and government teams in the district and county have performed their duties in their work, and whether they have strictly promoted reform and opening up measures in accordance with the work requirements of the municipal party committee and government. Of course, it also includes the organization department that must conduct a survey and check the abilities of the entire team members to see if they have the basic abilities and qualities to adapt to the development of the social and economic situation under the new situation.
It can be said that Sha Zhengyang's move almost hung a sharp sword on the heads of the main leaders of various districts and counties and even members of the team, and could fall off at any time.
The municipal government did not escape. Every quarter, there was also an unnamed score for the municipal government departments. The Municipal Supervision Bureau and the Municipal Government Performance Office adopted the method of sealing the scores. The main leaders, leaders in charge of each district and county, and the corresponding subordinate departments collected the scores of municipal government departments and calculated them according to a certain weight ratio. This included both work attitude and work performance, with multiple detailed scoring items and comprehensively calculated scores.
Because of the method of unnamed and sealed collection, each score calculation is equivalent to a major test for municipal agencies.
Similarly, those who ranked among the top make experience exchanges and those who ranked as the bottom make plans for the next work. Those who fall behind for two consecutive quarters must conduct a review, and those who fall behind for three consecutive quarters must also conduct accountability investigations.
Because it is a secret score, if your municipal government departments want to please anyone, they can only do their own work in all aspects. The best way is to rely on their attitude and quality of serving the curved grassroots work. Therefore, this is equivalent to adding a lock to the municipal government. If you lose the title for four consecutive quarters, the main leaders will probably really have to consider how long you can sit in this position.
No one likes this assessment method. Sha Zhengyang also openly stated at the meeting that this is an offensive measure, and he doesn't like it either. He also knows that when this measure is launched, there will definitely be many people cursing behind their backs. However, Zhongzhou has progress but not retreat, so this method can only be used to accelerate the change of work style and performance improvement.
To be honest, Deng Zhiquan still admires Sha Zhengyang's courage and dares to do such things. If you don't have some foundation or confidence, especially if you are a foreign cadre, you can imagine how much pressure and risk you will bear, and it may even cause "collective hostility" in the hearts of leaders of district, county and municipal agencies.
It is not easy for anyone to get to this position, but now you use this method to push the position you have been struggling for decades to the edge of a cliff. If you are not careful, you may "a mistake will lead to eternal regret". Who can feel at ease?
If it were another person, he might be really "attacked up in groups". Of course, it is not the kind of "siege" that shows off, but a kind of neglect and negative attitude that everyone is tacitly aware of, but Sha Zhengyang is different. He did not give everyone any chance of luck.
First, with the full support of Yang Tiancheng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Yang Tiancheng expressed his support for Sha Zhengyang without reservation at almost every meeting or occasion, and it was not the kind of polite support, but the support with a clear attitude and strong action. Everyone below was also a human being, so naturally they could clearly distinguish the difference in this attitude, so Sha Zhengyang had no worries.
Secondly, Sha Zhengyang did take out something real. Once the Third Ring Road was launched and the three major projects were smashed, no one could stop it. The High-tech Zone could not resist it, Sanchuan County could not stop it, and Deng Zhiquan's Weicheng County, where he was located, and Qingchi County next door could not stop it.
When we get to this position, who doesn’t want to achieve better results, and who doesn’t want to go further in the career path, so there is almost no resistance. The resentment and dissatisfaction in everyone’s heart disappeared. Now everyone is all determined to gain more resources and opportunities in the round of big moves in the city. Similarly, everyone also hopes to use this round of development trends to show their abilities and prove themselves.
When they reach this position, they are not weak, they are full of confidence in themselves. Deng Zhiquan believes that everyone is like this, so many of the original emotions and dissatisfactions were suddenly compressed and turned into some special motivation, and they are all scrambling to seize the initiative in this round of development.
"Mayor, we know the major project groups introduced by the city. It is difficult for us Weicheng to divide the number of projects from it. However, we think that Weicheng also has some special advantages and can obtain some from the Xifountain. For example, our Weicheng used to be a relatively developed plastic and non-woven fabric industry, so we still think there are still many cooperation opportunities in the interior of the auto parts industry. We hope that with the unified coordination and docking of the city, we can find some opportunities for our industry."
As soon as Deng Zhiquan spoke, Sha Zhengyang's eyes lit up. It is rare not to ask for a project when he opened his mouth, but to hope that the city can cooperate in the docking and coordination of the introduction of projects. This is not simple.
"Maybe this type of enterprises in our county is not too large, and they are basically private enterprises. But at present, this area is a pillar industry that our county can take advantage of, and cannot compare with those in Economic Development and Development. However, our development speed is very fast, and some enterprises are also trying to provide supporting facilities for enterprises in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shiyan, but the output value is not large. So we hope to take advantage of Shanghai General Motors to enter this opportunity as an opportunity for the development of these enterprises in our county."
