Chapter 216: Gambling Contract
Sitting in the car, Miao Kexin chatted with Li Qingyun from time to time about the customs of Shahe County and Yuanbei County.
Shahe County, as the name suggests, must have a river within its borders. This river is called the Sand River. The source of the Shahe River is in Shahe County, but the area through which it flows includes Yuanbei County.
Li Qingyun is actually no stranger to this place in Shahe County. When he was very young, he often went swimming in the lower reaches of the Sand River with his friends. Swim all the way downstream to Shahe County, where the upstream is located.
Sometimes when they are tired of swimming, a few half-sized children go ashore in Shahe County, pick some fruits to eat on the shore, and then play tricks.
Recalling the happy times of his childhood, Li Qingyun's face was a little softer.
He glanced at Miao Kexin beside him, and said with a smile: "Secretary Miao, there are several townships in your Shahe County, and I have been to them all. In some places, maybe you, a foreigner, are not as familiar as me. ”
Hearing this, Miao Kexin was stunned. She looked at Li Qingyun with some curiosity, and smiled: "Township Chief Qingyun said this, I am a little embarrassed. I have worked in Shahe County for four or five years, and I don't know you about this place......"
When Li Qingyun heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I didn't mean that, Secretary Miao!"
Seeing that Miao Kexin seemed to have some misunderstanding, Li Qingyun hurriedly explained to her the anecdote he had when he was a child.
After listening to some of his stories about being embarrassed when he was a child, Miao Kexin couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief for a while.
"That's right, Qingyun Township Chief. After being silent for a moment, Miao Kexin raised her head and looked at Li Qingyun and said, "Which place do you think has more development potential, our Shahe County or your Yuanbei County?"
When Miao Kexin asked this question, Li Qingyun was stunned.
To be honest, the answer to this question is not difficult for Li Qingyun to give.
Putting aside his identity as a cadre in Yuanbei County, let's talk about things. Shahe County is stronger than Yuanbei County in terms of industrial, commercial and financial potential.
The economic ranking of all counties and districts in Shun'an City has just been released not long ago, and Shahe County is the third after Dongxiu District and Zhen'an Buyi and Miao Autonomous County.
Yuanbei County is ranked second-to-last, only slightly stronger than Duyun Miao Buyi Autonomous County.
Therefore, in the eyes of many cadres of the Shahe County Party Committee and the county government, their goals should be placed on Dongxiu District and Zhen'an Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, rather than poor and weak counties such as Yuanbei County.
It is believed that Miao Kexin's asking this question also stems from the self-confidence of Shahe County officials in this regard.
If Miao Kexin had asked Li Qingyun this question a year ago, he might have given the same answer - the development potential of Shahe County is much stronger than that of Yuanbei County.
However, the development of things is never static. After reaching a long-term cooperation agreement with well-known enterprises in the province, Yuanbei County suddenly has an excellent development opportunity.
Li Qingyun believes that as long as the Yuanbei County Party Committee and County Government can grasp such a good opportunity, they may not have a chance to surpass each other within a year or two.
Seeing Li Qingyun's hesitant appearance, Miao Kexin looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter? When did Township Chief Qingyun dare not speak so much? This is not your style!"
Li Qingyun knew what Miao Kexin meant by this, he shrugged his shoulders and explained very calmly: "Secretary Miao, the reason why I didn't answer your question directly is not that you think it is evasive, but that I really think this question is difficult to answer." ”
Seeing Miao Kexin's look of disbelief, Li Qingyun pouted and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Shahe County's GDP for the whole of last year was about 450 or 600 million, right, should it be ranked third in the entire Shun'an City?"
Miao Kexin nodded proudly, with a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Li Qingyun shook his head disapprovingly, and continued: "The GDP of our Yuanbei County last year was 3.3 billion, and I am very sure of this number, and I will not be mistaken. ”
Miao Kexin bowed slightly: "Yes, Qingyun Township Chief." In terms of GDP, our Shahe County is a full third more than your Yuanbei County. Isn't this gap still a good way for you to face up?"
"Of course, the gap is obvious!" Li Qingyun nodded and continued, "However, this gap is definitely not unbridgeable. ”
"Oh, Qingyun Township Chief is confident......
Miao Kexin said this, but she was secretly funny in her heart: It turns out that Li Qingyun also has his own shortcomings. This guy is too good-looking, and it's obvious that he just doesn't want to admit it.
Li Qingyun didn't know what Miao Kexin was thinking, this kind of thing was originally something to talk about and pass by. Since the other party didn't ask deeply, Li Qingyun didn't plan to continue to explain.
There was silence in the car for a while, and Miao Kexin suddenly said, "Township Chief Li, I don't know if you dare to make a bet with me?"
"Bet?" After listening to the words of the secretary of the county Youth League Committee, Li Qingyun was a little confused.
Miao Kexin stared into Li Qingyun's eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, bet! Since you are so confident in your Yuanbei County, I would like to make a bet on when you will catch up with our Shahe County in terms of GDP." How, dare you?"
Looking at Miao Kexin's smiling eyes, Li Qingyun couldn't suppress his emotions a little. He snorted and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you!
Listening to what Li Qingyun said interestingly, Miao Kexin couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. She rolled her eyes and thought about it.
"In this way, I will not take advantage of you. Our bet is divided into two parts. The first is the dispute over the GDP of the two counties. I bet that you won't be able to catch up with our Shahe County within three years!"
Li Qingyun nodded vigorously and said, "Then I'll bet that we will be able to catch up with your Shahe County in three years." ”
Miao Kexin nodded and continued, "I know Qingyun, you are very confident in your abilities. My other bet is that I bet that within three years, the total economic output of your Lianhua Township will not be able to surpass that of Huangqiao Town, Shahe County. ”
Without waiting for Li Qingyun to agree, Miao Kexin interjected: "I have seen the economic data of your Lotus Township in the past two days, and your GDP last year was about 150 million. As for our Huangqiao Town, the number is about 200 million. The difference between the two is about the same as our two counties, so I don't take advantage of you in this bet, right?"
Hearing this, Li Qingyun clapped his hands vigorously and said confidently: "Okay, I'll bet with you." However, the second bet has to be changed slightly. ”
Looking at Miao Kexin's puzzled eyes, Li Qingyun explained: "Secretary Miao, you also know that our Lianhua Township has just discovered a manganese ore with a large reserve not long ago, which may bring a lot of economic benefits to the township. I don't want to take advantage of you...... In this way, after three years, if the GDP of Lianhua Township does not exceed twice that of your Huangqiao Township, I will lose. ”
Looking at Li Qingyun's serious eyes, Miao Kexin nodded subconsciously and was speechless.
