Hou Weidong took the initiative to talk to Executive Vice Mayor Chu Liang for three reasons:

First, Zhu Yan affirmed and praised Chu Liang a lot. In Hou Weidong's impression, Zhu Yan was quite unique in observing people and employing people. As the former secretary of Yiyang County Party Committee, Yiyang cadres were promoted and used the most in Shazhou. As Zhu Yan's former secretary, he was very inspired by Zhu Yan in identifying people and employing people. Since Zhu Yan believes that Chu Liang is available, there must be a reason for it to be available.

Second, Chu Liang is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Executive Vice Mayor. To develop the North District, he must get his cooperation. Now communicate with him in advance. If the two sides can reach a consensus, there will be an allied army in the North District Development Zone. Otherwise, if you experience it yourself, it will be even more difficult. If you are tired like a dog, it will not necessarily have good results.

Third, Ji Cheng was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor. In the Shazhou era, Ji Cheng was dissatisfied with himself. There were three members of the Standing Committee among the municipal government leaders. If two members of the Standing Committee were dissatisfied with the top leader of the municipal government, Hou Weidong would have a hard time. Therefore, he intended to bring Chu Liang to his own camp. Even if Chu Liang could not enter his circle, he would try to make him stand on an objective standpoint.

Hou Weidong: "Mayor Chu, the difficulties you mentioned do exist. But from a dialectical point of view, adverse situations may not be transformed into favorable situations. Since there are stinky water rivers, old garbage fields and waste mines in the north area, everyone thinks that they are not livable, and there are many shanty towns. These difficulties will lead to the current requirements for the renovation of the people in the north area, and the difficulty of demolition will be much lower than that in the old city area. This is a favorable factor."

Qian Liang is an experienced leading cadre. After a brief thought, he said: "Mayor Hou is taking a different approach. From a thinking point of view, this way of thinking is correct. The reality is that Maoyun only has such a large basket. The municipal party committee has decided to gather the strength of the whole city to build a new Maoyun. How can there be money to build the northern district? Without money, everything is useless."

Hou Weidong: "We must abide by the decisions of the municipal party committee. The municipal government will never violate the rules and regulations. We must actively mobilize funds and personnel. It is not vague to put the decisions of the municipal party committee into practice. In the most common words, in order to achieve the goals of the municipal party committee, we need money, people, and policies."

Chu Liang looked at Hou Weidong's eyes and reminded: "The Maoyun plate is so big. The municipal government can develop the infrastructure of the old city in the south and repair the river, but there is no more money left. Other money is dead, and you have to pay wages and use it for social security. This part of the money is absolutely impossible to move. If you move this part of the money, something big will happen."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "You can't always think about Maoyun's plate. This plate is too small to do a few things. My idea is to pick up a piece of chopsticks, hold a piece in my mouth, look at a piece of one in my heart, and you still think about one in your heart. You can use the money from the bank, save money, and use the money of the State Council. The key is to find the right idea for money. The state has special funds for the renovation of shanty towns. After we plan the project, we can go to Beijing to connect. Director Qi, who is responsible for this work, was the director of Factory 3 before, so we can find him directly."

Chu Liang said: "Mayor Hou has some clues?"

Hou Weidong said: "I just did some preliminary preparations. There are still many problems with the specific implementation. If I report to Beijing successfully, I will set up a shanty town renovation leading group to standardize the rectification of the northern district. Why do I have to give this to Mayor Chu? It is because the rectification is not a rectification, but a comprehensive development. In addition to the shanty town renovation, you can ask the superiors for money, and the renovation of the old mines can also ask the superiors for money, or there can be subsidies for the renovation of the sewer pipeline network. Initially, the province can provide a subsidy of 300,000 yuan for the renovation of a kilometer of sewer pipeline network. This money is a large amount, enough to start the renovation project of the northern district, and at the same time it can absorb social funds and make payments from the development bank. Since there are many sources of money, most of them are dedicated to the funds, so there must be a person who coordinates the overall situation. I suggest that Mayor Chu be the leader of the shanty town renovation leading group, and no one else can take this lead."

Chu Liang suggested: "If you really want to establish a leading group, you cannot be called the shanty town renovation leading group. It should be called the North District Comprehensive Renovation Leading Group. Mayor Hou will be the team leader, and I will be the deputy team leader."

Hou Weidong ended the wine glass, clinked the glass with Chu Liang, and said, "It cannot be called the comprehensive renovation leading group, because the leadership group of the southern old city is called the Southern Old Town Comprehensive Renovation Leading Group. There should not be two comprehensive renovation leading groups at the same time. They can be called the North District Shantytown and the waste mine renovation leading group. I will be the team leader, you will be the executive deputy team leader, and there will be an office below, and the specific structure will be determined by you."

The day before yesterday, the Municipal Party Committee issued a document to adjust the member of the Southern Old Town Comprehensive Renovation Leading Group. Duan Yiyong is the leader of the leadership group, Hou Weidong is the executive deputy leader of the leadership group, and Ji Cheng is the deputy leader and the director of the leading group office. Under this situation, Ji Cheng is the actual operator of the Southern Old Town Comprehensive Renovation Leading Group.

The North District Shantytown and Waste Mine Renovation Leading Group referred to the pattern of this leading group, but Hou Weidonglai was the leader and Chu Liang was the deputy leader. This leading group is mainly for the municipal government, as long as the matter is passed by the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

Money is the money of the superiors, and special funds must be used specifically. The renovation of shanty towns in the north and scrap mines is naturally a clear difference from the comprehensive renovation of the old city in the south. Chu Liang couldn't help but secretly praise Hou Weidong for his brilliant mind. He thought for a while and said: "These funds all require supporting funds. If the supporting ratio is too high, the local government can't afford it."

Hou Weidong said: "I can only know this after I went to the scene. It's too early to find out now. I don't have to be too nervous if I really need local supporting facilities. There are always more solutions than difficulties. If I really want to develop the North District successfully, the land will definitely appreciate significantly. The local supporting funds are just a small number. Another problem in the North District is the remediation of river water. I want to transfer Shen Dongfeng, deputy director of the Water Resources Bureau of Shazhou, to enrich the strength of the leading group office. I used to be the director of the Agricultural Machinery and Water Power Bureau in Shazhou, and Shen Dongfeng is the executive deputy director. Shen Dongfeng is a professional, has been engaged in related work and has strong business capabilities."

Chu Liang sighed: "This job is very difficult. I have limited abilities and I am worried that I can't do it well."

Hou Weidong encouraged: "I won't be a hand-off manager. I will do more money-related matters, and you will be responsible for the specific operations."
