Chapter 1724: World Expo
Zhao Guangzhi nodded.
The position of head of the United Front Work Department was very important in the 90s, and it was often held by a member of the Standing Committee.
The United Front Work Department is the functional department of the Party committee in charge of united front work, and is the staff body, organization and coordination body, specific implementation body, and supervision and inspection body of the Party committee's united front work.
Specifically, the work of the United Front Work Department includes taking the lead in coordinating the work of democratic parties, the work of non-party intellectuals, the work of non-public economic personages, the work of ethnic groups, religious work, Hong Kong and Macao work, Taiwan work, and overseas Chinese work.
Among them, the work of democratic parties, non-party intellectuals, non-public economic personages, ethnic work, and religious work play a very important role in stabilizing the domestic political pattern, and the work in Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the work related to Taiwan, has a bearing on national reunification.
Although the relevant functional departments are responsible for these tasks, the United Front Work Department is responsible for overall coordination and policy decision-making.
In the era of reform and opening up and economic development as the focus, the United Front Work Department also undertook a very important task, that is, to attract investment. In the 80s and 90s, investment from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese was a major component of the introduction of foreign capital, and the United Front Work Department, which was responsible for this work, naturally took the lead, and especially for the United Front Work Department of the local party committees, it even became the main assessment index.
Before entering politics, Zhao Guangzhi was a professor at Pujiang University, a high-ranking intellectual, and had close ties with the democratic parties, and her position in Huixun District was also relatively detached.
Zhao Guangzhi and Bao Feiyang chatted for a few words, she was very interested in inviting Old Man Tang or important members of the Tang family to visit Huixun District, and Bao Feiyang also expressed a cooperative attitude, and agreed to discuss this matter after the meeting.
At this time, Xiong Bihong, a senior official of the district, walked in accompanied by Tang Yan, secretary general of the district party committee, and Fang Zhikai, secretary.
"Secretary Xiong is here......" Everyone got up to say hello, and Bao Feiyang also stood up, smiling at the leader of Huixun District.
Xiong Bihong is tall, walks with big steps, and is full of tigers. Xiong Bihong was previously the leader of the district party committee and the district government, and his personality and style are very strong. Seeing Bao Feiyang, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and he immediately said loudly: "This is Comrade Feiyang, right?"
As he spoke, Xiong Bihong stretched out his hand to Bao Feiyang.
Bao Feiyang hurriedly stretched out his hands: "Secretary Xiong, hello, I am Bao Feiyang, I just knew that you came back from the capital, and I haven't had time to report to you yet." ”
"Haha, you are a party cadre, just report to the organization, you don't need to report to me. Xiong Bihong held Bao Feiyang's hand, his palm was thick and powerful, the palm was rough, and there were thick calluses.
Xiong Bihong raised his left hand and patted the back of Bao Feiyang's hand lightly twice, then released his palm, walked to his position, and beckoned everyone to sit down.
"I went to the capital some time ago, and I just came back yesterday, and today I have this meeting, first of all, I welcome Comrade Feiyang to join our team in Huixun District......" After everyone sat down, Xiong Bihong said directly.
"Today is the first time I have met Comrade Feiyang, but everyone should have seen it a long time ago......"
Xiong Bihong continued: "Comrade Feiyang is very young, the youngest in our team, but he is not lacking in work experience, whether in Northwest Province or Jiangbei Province, Comrade Feiyang has handed over a very bright report card, especially in the field of economic construction, quite accomplished. He has played a very important role in the current Haizhou Bay Economic Zone and Haizhou Economic Miracle......"
"I believe that the arrival of Comrade Feiyang will be able to inject new strength into our Huixun District, and I hope that Comrade Feiyang will continue to give full play to your strengths and abilities to create a new situation for the development of Huixun District......"
Xiong Bihong's words were concise and to the point, and in just a few sentences, he made the main characteristics of Bao Feiyang, as well as the expectations and positioning of the district very clear. It also reveals his vigorous and resolute, and at the same time strong and direct style.
"Thank you Secretary Xiong for the compliment......"
After a warm applause, Bao Feiyang smiled and said: "If I have made a little insignificant achievement over the years, it is also under the leadership and support of the party committee and leaders. ”
Xiong Bihong nodded: "Comrade Feiyang, Pujiang is the forefront of the country's reform and opening up, you are young, open-minded, and active, you can give full play to your advantages in this regard......"
Xiong Bihong said two more words, and then changed his words and continued: "There is a very important matter today, which requires you and everyone to broaden their minds and think of more ways!"
"This time, the relevant leaders of the central government have made it clear that they fully support Pujiang City's bid to host the World Expo, and on the way back, Mayor Yang proposed to let all districts recommend suitable venues for holding the World Expo......
Xiong Bihong said: "You can think more about whether we have a suitable venue in Huixun District, and how can we get the city to agree to place the venue for the World Expo in our Huixun District." ”
As soon as Xiong Bihong's words were finished, Yao Qi smiled and said: "What Secretary Xiong brought back is really good news, with the support of the central government, there should be no problem for Pujiang City to bid for the World Expo." ”
"But ......"
Yao Qi frowned and said: "The city has long had a plan to bid for the World Expo, and some preparations have been made over the years. As far as I know, the city has already done a lot of work around this plan, so I'm afraid it won't really change the venue, right?"
Xiong Bihong nodded: "Yes, according to the city's plan, the venue for the World Expo is given priority near Chundong International Airport, and a venue sufficient to hold the World Expo has been reserved." ”
Bao Feiyang couldn't help but be a little surprised, this situation did not match his memory in his previous life. In his memory, the venue for the World's Fair was eventually placed in an area between Huixun District and Chundong New District, specifically on both sides of the Chunjiang River between Huinan Bridge and Luchun Bridge, rather than near Chundong Airport.
At this time, Xiong Bihong continued: "However, this is not the final plan, what Mayor Yang means is that if there are better venues in other districts, then the venue of the World Expo can also be changed, and it does not have to be near Chundong Airport!"
"That's why I proposed, let everyone think of a way to see where our Huixun District is suitable for hosting the World Expo, and then find a way to get the city to agree to place the World Expo venue in our Huixun District!"
"Comrades, our Huixun district has just been redistricted, and among the several districts and counties in Pujiang City, our Huixun District is backward in all aspects. And if the World Expo can be held in our Huixun District, it will definitely be a greater historical opportunity for our Huixun District than the county redistrict......"
Xiong Bihong said excitedly: "First of all, according to the city's planning, the planning area of the entire World Expo will reach about five square kilometers, and its core functions include exhibition, culture, tourism, leisure, commerce, etc., which is equivalent to creating a new urban area......
"But this is still secondary, more importantly, around the exhibition area, will also build a large number of transportation and municipal supporting projects, if successful, these projects will make our Huixun District traffic and municipal engineering look has been greatly improved!"
"Therefore, this is definitely a historic opportunity for us in Huixun District, and we must do everything we can to achieve success......
The more Xiong Bihong spoke, the more excited he became, but the others didn't seem to be affected much, but instead frowned, as if they were meditating.
"Secretary Xiong, you are right, if the venue of the World Expo can be placed in our Huixun District, then it is indeed a great development opportunity for our Huixun District, but ......"
Yao Qi shook his head and said: "The city has long been determined, the focus of Pujiang's current and future development is Chundong New District, the original intention of the city to bid for the World Expo, is also to promote and enhance the urban construction and economic development of Chundong New Area by holding the World Expo, from this point of view, let the city change its original intention, the possibility of putting the World Expo in our Huixun District is very small, this is one of the ......"
"Second, Secretary Xiong just said, we Huixun District has just been redistricted, in the districts and counties of Pujiang City, all aspects are relatively backward, including transportation, infrastructure construction, including hotels and other supporting facilities, if the expo is placed in Huixun District, then the amount of construction will be very large, the city in the bidding, will definitely consider this factor, after all, the conditions are sufficient, the bid will be easier to succeed......"
Yao Qi said: "Although I also agree with Secretary Xiong's opinion, I think it is difficult for us to change the original intention of the city, and if there is no way to succeed, we rashly propose a new plan, which may make the Chundong New District feel very dissatisfied...... The reason why Huixun can be redistricted in the county, one of the most important points is that the city hopes that Huixun District can become a strong support for the take-off of Chundong New District, if we dig the corner of Chundong New District, I am afraid that the city will also be very dissatisfied......"
Hearing Yao Qi's words, several members of the Standing Committee nodded slightly. Their idea is similar to Yao Qi, the city has long planned to hold the World Expo near Chundong Airport, and even the city proposed to bid for the World Expo to promote the development of Chundong New District, in this case, how can the city change its plan and put the World Expo in Huixun District?
