In the spacious and bright office, Dong Qingyang, secretary of the municipal party committee, sat in the center with a smile.

Lu Dongping, who was sitting at the bottom, was reporting several key data completed by Ninghai New Area last year to the leader in 1510.

Li Qingyun, who was in the last seat, listened to Secretary Lu's narration silently, and the expression on his face was very serious.

He has been working in Binzhou City for nearly a year, and this is the first time he has come to the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee to report to work.

Of course, he has met with Secretary Dong a few times.

For example, when Secretary Zhang of the Provincial Party Committee came down to investigate, Li Qingyun had a few meetings with this big guy.

In addition, there are several times at the city's cadre conference.

However, it was the first time to sit next to Secretary Dong face-to-face.

Dong Qingyang, who listened to Lu Dongping's story, has actually been observing Li Qingyun intentionally or unintentionally.

What made him a little curious was that this young man didn't have a flustered expression at all in front of him, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and looked extremely calm.

What Dong Qingyang didn't know was that Li Qingyun had met with a big man like Vice Governor Liang several times when he was in Qianzhou Province.

In the distance, even Secretary Xia, he had met two or three times in private.

Therefore, for Secretary Dong's identity as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he respects and respects, but he does not have a cautious mentality.

Seeing that Li Qingyun had always maintained such a demeanor, Dong Qingyang knew that the other party was not pretending, but his heart was really calm.

Thinking of this, Secretary Dong had a trace of appreciation in his eyes.

After Lu Dongping's report was over, he asked for instructions with a smile: "Secretary Dong, Comrade Qingyun knows the economic situation in our new area. Why don't you let him report to you on the key project plans for our new district in the new year?"

Dong Qingyang said "hmm" and said: "This is not in a hurry, when it comes to the development momentum of your Ninghai New Area, I and the municipal party committee are very optimistic." Your key project planning will also be followed up and reviewed by economic experts from the municipal party committee and municipal government. We'll talk about it when we have the results!"

Hearing this, Lu Dongping stopped talking.

He brought Li Qingyun to see Secretary Dong today, but he was actually a little unclear about the situation.

Originally, he thought that Secretary Dong just wanted to appease Li Qingyun and prevent this young man from being distracted by the "digging of the wall" in Andong City, and he lost motivation at work.

But now it seems that there is more than that.

This made Lu Dongping a little confused.

Dong Qingyang took a sip of tea and gradually set his eyes on Li Qingyun.

"Comrade Qingyun, there is something I want to confirm with you!"

Hearing this, Li Qingyun was slightly stunned, and immediately sat up straight and said, "Secretary Dong, you say!"

"That's right, I heard a statement from Mayor Zang before. It is said that the current model of our Ninghai New Area is not advanced enough. ”

"If the 'Binzhou Free Trade Zone' and the 'Lianwan Economic and Technological Development Zone' can also be included to form a larger-scale 'Ninghai New Area', we can better play the role of the new area, the economic fulcrum of Binzhou City......"

Speaking of this, Dong Qingyang narrowed his eyes and stared into Li Qingyun's eyes and said, "I heard Zang Tai and the mayor say that you first proposed this idea?"

In fact, when Secretary Dong was just halfway through speaking, Li Qingyun had already guessed what was going on.

Speaking of which, not long after he came to Binzhou City, in Secretary Lu's office, Li Qingyun did improvise about his deep understanding of Ninghai New Area.

At that time, although Zang Tai and the mayor showed a certain interest, they did not continue the topic.

Originally, Li Qingyun thought that the matter would pass like this, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, the matter was asked by Secretary Dong.

Seeing that Li Qingyun wanted to speak and stopped, Dong Qingyang waved his hand and said, "Hey, Comrade Qingyun, you don't have any scruples, this matter is not a bad thing." I'm still interested in your idea, what do you say, tell me in detail!"

Li Qingyun listened to the boss's unquestionable order, and could only pinch his nose and agree.

"Secretary Dong, I see this issue this way. As one of the five cities with separate plans in China, Binzhou has always been an important gateway to the sea and an economic leader in the three eastern provinces, and its status cannot be ignored. ”

"However, in recent years, when the economy has been continuously improving, especially the rise of the central region, the pace of our Binzhou City and even Liaodong Province has fallen behind. ”

"The establishment of Ninghai New Area certainly reflects the will of Binzhou City to vigorously develop the economy to a certain extent. However, it is not enough to simply establish a new district at the provincial level. ”

Li Qingyun paused for a moment and continued: "According to what I know, at present, the state has approved 10 national-level new areas for various important cities. ”

"According to the important position of Binzhou City in the country and the three eastern provinces, coupled with the excellent geographical advantages of Ninghai New Area, and the driving role of economic development in the surrounding areas, our city is fully qualified to apply for a national new area ......."

Listening to Li Qingyun's eloquent talk, Dong Qingyang touched his chin with interest and seemed to agree.

The concept of a national-level new area has only emerged in recent years.

The so-called national-level new area refers to the establishment of the new area, and even the development and construction, must be elevated to the national strategy, and its overall development goals and development orientation shall be planned and reviewed by the State Council.

The relevant special preferential policies and authorities in the new area are also directly approved by the State Council.

Within the jurisdiction of the new district, special policies will be implemented to be more open and preferential to encourage the new area to carry out various institutional reform and innovation exploration.

There is no doubt that the strategic position of the national new area is absolutely very important.

It is different from local economic and technological development zones and high-tech development zones, and focuses on the development of a region.

The layout of the national new area will consider how to drive the development of the surrounding area through its construction, become a new regional growth pole, and change the development trend of the entire region.

One of its most important features is the radiation effect.

Of course, although there are many benefits to national new areas, they are not something that can be applied for casually.

Generally speaking, national-level new areas have a clear development orientation.

For example, the Binhai New Area in Binhai City is a national pilot area for comprehensive supporting reforms; the Liangjiang New Area in Yucheng is a pioneer area for coordinating the comprehensive reform of urban and rural areas; and the Pudong New Area in Songjiang City has played a role in driving the economic growth of the Yangtze River Delta, the southeast coast, and the Yangtze River to varying degrees.

Therefore, if Binzhou City wants to apply for this national new area, it must first consider whether it has such a radiation effect.
