Chapter 1129 The key to economic development
Although Zhu Daidong was not appointed as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in the appointment documents of the provincial party committee, Zhou Baoning would still invite him to attend as long as it was the secretary's office meeting. If no one of the municipal government participated in the secretary's office meeting, then what was the secretary's office meeting? Then, if the municipal party committee office office office was called, the municipal party committee office office office office, Yuan Deming, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, never raised any doubts, as if this was taken for granted. He also carefully analyzed why the provincial party committee only appointed Zhu Daidong as a member of the municipal party committee and a member of the standing committee, but missed the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Every word of the provincial party committee's appointment is worthy of careful consideration.
Although Zhu Daidong made obvious achievements in Chu, he served as executive vice mayor for too short. At that time, Zhu Daidong served as director of the Second Department of Cadres in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for only more than three months. In addition, he served as the secretary of the county party committee in Furong County and the acting county magistrate in Yuhuā County. The total time for him was only two years.
With two years of department-level cadres, even if they have achieved great results, they will need huge opportunities to be promoted to deputy department-level cadres. What's more, Zhu Daidong, a deputy department-level cadre, is also the executive vice mayor of the provincial capital. This is almost the most important position among the provincial deputy department-level cadres. From Zhu Daidong to Chu City as executive vice mayor, a considerable number of cadres are emotional. There are not only cadres from Chu City, but also provincial.
Cadres from other cities and cities. This time Zhu Daidong was able to come to Muchuan because Zhou Baoning had this requirement, and the other was that some leaders in Chu City and the province were willing to let Zhu Daidong leave Chu City because of various principles. Letting Zhu Daidong go to Muchuan to serve as acting mayor has already made these people feel very unhappy. If he was allowed to serve as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, it would be equivalent to telling others clearly that Zhu Daidong would be the best candidate for the next mayor of Muchuan City.
Such an appointment may not necessarily be helpful to Zhu Daidong's work in Muchuan City. Although some people still feel uncomfortable in their current arrangements, at least they can accept them. The appointment of the provincial party committee must not only consider Zhu Daidong's work arrangements... but also consider balance and distribution of interests. At the same time, it also puts pressure on Zhu Daidong. If he cannot achieve results in Muchuan City, he can be transferred at any time. But if Zhu Daidong is appointed as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and Zhu Daidong will be transferred at that time, it will be difficult to find a suitable position.
Now Zhu Daidong has not been appointed as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and has also given some hope to some people in Muchuan City. Now Zhu Daidong is still on the same starting line with them.... Although Zhu Daidong is the second-in-command of Muchuan City on the surface, in fact, he is still an ordinary deputy department-level cadre. As long as he can achieve results that satisfy the provincial party committee, he may not be able to replace Zhu Daidong.
Zhu Daidong went to Muchuan City for a month to investigate, but there was a company that he never went to: Muchuan Locomotive and Vehicle Factory. Zhu Daidong went to the city's textile and clothing, chemical and electronics, machinery manufacturing, trade and construction, and food industry, but he didn't come to the most important Muchuan Locomotive and Vehicle Factory, which made Gu Chuanxiang, the director of the vehicle factory, very anxious.
The top leaders of the last two governments are both lukewarm and warm to the rolling stock factory. Could it be that the new Zhu Daidong also stays away from the rolling stock factory because of Zhou Baoning's relationship? Muchuan Locomotive and Vehicle Factory was founded in 1936 and is a national super-large first-class enterprise. The company's main business is the research, manufacturing, maintenance, sales and after-sales service of trunk railway electric locomotives, electric vehicle units and urban rail transit equipment and its components. The reason why Muchuan City enjoys the reputation of "China's Electric Locomotive Capital" is because Muchuan Locomotive and Vehicle Factory.
Once, the Muchuan Locomotive Factory was the pride of Muchuan. Whenever Muchuan mentioned, I naturally knew the Locomotive Factory. When it came to Locomotive Factory, it would inevitably be linked to Muchuan City. Muchuan could jump from a county-level city to the second largest city and the largest industrial city in the province in the early days of liberation, which was inseparable from the Locomotive Factory. Muchuan was once called a city on the train... If it weren't for Muchuan becoming the most important railway transportation hub in the south, Muchuan City might still be led by Chudu.
But now, Zhu Daidong would rather go to the Muchuan smelter than to the Muchuan Locomotive and Vehicle Factory every few days. What does this make him feel? Although the Muchuan smelter is also a large state-owned enterprise in Muchuan City, it is not as good as the Muchuan Locomotive and Vehicle Factory in terms of scale and representation.
Gu Chuanxiang also took the initiative to contact the municipal government and wanted to invite Mayor Zhu to inspect the work at the rolling stock factory at the right time. In the history of the rolling stock factory, there has never been such a situation that is not valued. He even called Zhong Zhaoyun, but Zhong Zhaoyun told him that he had already made arrangements to go to the rolling stock factory, but Mayor Zhu did not agree and he had no choice.
Gu Chuanxiang had no choice but to call Zhou Baoning. The benefits of the rolling stock factory are indeed not very outstanding at present, but this requires the city's attention. If even the municipal government does not pay attention to the rolling stock factory, how can the development of the rolling stock factory start?
Zhou Baoning was not very clear about Zhu Daidong's daily itinerary, only knowing that he is basically not in the office every day. Except for holding the municipal government executive meeting or work meeting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, if you want to find him at other times, you can only contact him by phone.
Zhou Baoning still appreciates Zhu Daidong's pragmatic style. So far, Zhu Daidong has not made any comments on the development of Muchuan City.
Zhou Baoning also knew that Zhu Daidong had his own way of developing the economy. The reason why he has been slow to go to the Locomotive and Vehicle Factory must be his own reason. But no matter what, the Locomotive and Vehicle Factory is the largest state-owned enterprise in Muchuan City and is also the economic pillar industry of Muchuan City in recent decades. As the mayor of the government, even if he is the acting mayor, he has not inspected it for more than a month. It is unreasonable.
"Comrade Dai Dong, I am Zhou Baoning, where are you now?" Zhou Baoning felt it was necessary to communicate with Zhu Daidong about this matter. He also knew that Zhu Daidong had his own work plan. Now Zhu Daidong has just arrived in Muchuan City and is not very familiar with many situations. Only by conducting detailed research first and then targeting the development of Muchuan City in the future.
"Hello, Baoning Secretary, I'm at the Muchuan Smelter. Is there anything wrong?" Zhu Daidong said. This is his third time since taking office. The reason why he is so interested in the smelter is not only because this company is one of the largest metal companies in Asia, but also because of the scarcity of the metals extracted therein.
The Muchuan Smelter was built in 1956 in the early days of liberation. It was a large metal enterprise in China and one of the largest metal enterprises in Asia. The metal products produced by the Muchuan Smelter were sold to all over the world through ports such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Zhanjiang. It is currently one of the large state-owned enterprises with good profitability in Muchuan City, but Zhu Daidong also found some problems here. The reason why the Muchuan Smelter is still profitable is that in addition to the state support, the most important thing is that the products produced by the smelter are not short of markets at any time. Even if the prices in the international market rise and fall, the smelter will always make profits with state support and government support.
Although the scale of the Muchuan smelter is not the largest in Muchuan City, compared with other enterprises, it is also a large enterprise. It covers an area of 1.73 million square meters, mainly producing lead, zinc and its alloy products, and comprehensively recovers 17 products such as copper, gold, silver, cadmium, indium, sulfuric acid, and has an annual production capacity of 330,000 tons. Among them, the production capacity of electric zinc is 250,000 tons, the production capacity of electric lead is 70,000 tons, and the copper is 10,000 tons, and the total asset value is more than 2 billion yuan.
The Muchuan smelter has 8,500 employees, of which various professional and technical personnel account for 20%. Currently, the Muchuan smelter is the largest lead-zinc production base and export base in China. However, the reason why Zhu Daidong often comes here is not the lead-zinc products here, but an auxiliary product of the Muchuan smelter: Indium. When Zhu Daidong first came to the Muchuan smelter, Du Zhongde, the director of the smelter, accompanied him to inspect the entire factory area. Du Zhongde used to serve as a senior engineer in the smelter. Like many people with technical backgrounds, he spent his whole life in the smelter. Even if it was a stone on the ground, he could tell his origin.
According to Du Zhongde, my country's reserves of indium rank first in the world. It accounts for 80% of the global supply, mainly used for alloys, semiconductor data transmission, aerospace products manufacturing and medical uses. It is mainly associated with lead-zinc ores. Last year, my country's native indium production was only 300 tons. A company in Muchuan smelter produced 260 tons. Indium is an associated metal, but the content in zinc concentrate is calculated using "millions", and it is very small. After the output of indium, Zhu Daidong immediately became very interested in indium. He intuitively found the key to revitalize the economic development of Muchuan. After returning home, Zhu Daidong immediately went to check the relevant information about indium.
Indium is a silver-white metal with a slightly light blue one. It has a melting point of only more than 150 degrees, is not very dense, is very soft, can be marked with nails, and is lower than the hardness of lead. However, indium is strong in plasticity, has extension, and can be pressed into extremely thin metal sheets.
"Do you have time tonight? After you arrived in Muchuan, we haven't had a good meal yet, so I want to treat you to dinner at night." Zhou Baoning said that many social engagements in the municipal government during this period were either for executive vice mayor Xu Haibo to attend, or the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee Yuan Deming, or even he went there in person. Zhu Daidong participated in very few social engagements.
"Okay, I've known that some places are very good recently. In Yuesong District, the store is not big, but the fish there are very good." Zhu Daidong said. He knew that Zhou Baoning liked to eat fish, so he suggested...
