Zhou Nan walked into the small reception room and greeted Chen Yan and the others who were sitting there with a smile, "Hello Secretary Chen, Secretary Zhang, County Magistrate Sun, Comrade Chen Dong." ”

After all, he is also an important leader in the county, although Chen Yan has some preconceived "prejudice" about Zhou Nan, but the etiquette cannot be too much.

Lower-level officials take the initiative to ask you to say hello and say hello, but you don't even stand up, and you don't maintain the least etiquette, which is not only embarrassing to your subordinates, but also directly damages your demeanor as a leader.

Therefore, Chen Yan finally got up with a faint smile and shook hands with Zhou Nan and said a few words.

Zhang Qiang patted Zhou Nan on the shoulder and laughed, "I said Comrade Zhou Nan, just now Lao Sun and I were still talking, did you kid go to the prosperous realm of Hong Kong, and was corrupted by the bright lights of capitalism, and didn't want to return to our poor county?" ”

Zhou Nan smiled slightly, "Secretary Zhang, in fact, Hong Kong is just like that, where the palm is big, there is nothing to see." If it weren't for the fact that I had to connect with a few Hong Kong companies, I would have been back a long time ago, and it didn't make much sense. ”

"By the way, Secretary Zhang, County Magistrate Sun, when I was in Hong Kong, an investment company in Hong Kong took the initiative to find me, saying that they happened to have a steel project and were looking for a place to invest in China, and asked us if Ningshan was willing...... However, considering that the steel project has a certain amount of pollution, I did not agree to him in person. ”

When Zhang Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "You said that you, Comrade Zhou Nan, still refuse to send a project to your door?" Any industrial project has a certain degree of pollution, which is a price we must pay for economic development! If you don't develop the economy and don't go to the project, the people will be poor to death, what's the use of just keeping the blue sky and clear water? Poor enough to be bare-chested, looking at the blue sky coldly can be eaten? ”

Zhang Qiang's words were a little rough. If Chen Yan was not present, what he said would have been said, but with the presence of a female leader, this would have been a bit disrespectful to the leader.

Sun Xiang coughed dryly.

Zhang Qiang realized that there was some "language disease" in his words, rubbed his hands awkwardly, and said embarrassedly, "Secretary Chen, I ......"

Fortunately, Chen Yan is not the kind of petty woman, she often mixes in officialdom, fighting with a group of men, flies and dogs, and she still has this "resistance". She waved her hand and smiled, "What Zhang Qiang said is the truth, there is a price to be paid for economic development, which is an inevitable result." Not to mention that we are here, in every city and region in the country. ”

"Relatively speaking, the environmental quality and resource protection work in Ningnan is still in the forefront of the province. Of course, this is our achievement, but in a sense, it is actually a manifestation of our poverty and backwardness. Do you think so? ”

Zhang Qiang hurriedly agreed, and at the same time patted Chen Yan's ass without a trace, "Yes, that's it." A leader is a leader, to look at a problem is to see far-reaching, and to speak at a theoretical level is high! Listen, how philosophical is Secretary Chen's words? Well? ”

Zhang Qiang's sycophant who was too obvious and didn't have much technical content made Zhou Nan almost laugh when he heard it, so he adjusted his emotions when he turned around.

But Chen Yan is obviously willing to listen to this kind of talk, knowing that it is sycophancy, but she is willing to listen. In fact, if you change to any leader, it's basically like this. Even if they are not leaders, ordinary people are willing to listen to good words rather than bad words.

Sun Xiang also smiled and said, "Yes, Comrade Zhou Nan, you shouldn't refuse others, you should set a time with them and let them come to our county to inspect and further talk about this project." ”

Zhou Nan shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, "Secretary Chen, the two leaders, I actually didn't say anything to death." If both leaders agree, then I will contact each other on the phone? ”

Zhang Qiang said yes again and again, and he couldn't wait to urge Zhou Nan to call Hong Kong immediately to contact him.

Sun Xiang smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Chen Yan sat on the side and watched coldly for so long, her calm gaze slid over Zhou Nan's calmly smiling face, and she secretly said in her heart: This kid obviously said this on purpose, and set up a trap for Zhang Qiang to drill in, and he didn't want to take responsibility. Or, this was originally the project he wanted to introduce, lest Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang oppose it, and deliberately made a posture of retreating as advance.

Chen Yan guessed a few points. However, she may never understand that as a traveler who has traveled from later generations and knows the dangers of environmental pollution, Zhou Nan is sincerely reluctant to launch some pollution-causing industrial high-energy-consuming projects. This is definitely not hypocrisy.

However, for the sake of economic development, he has no choice. If you want to develop, you have to pay a price, and if Ningshan County, a poor county, wants to really develop, it must go to industrial projects. Without an industrial base and relying only on the tertiary industry, development is a source of water.

All Zhou Nan can do is to ensure a balance between development and the environment as much as possible, within the scope of his power.

............ "Recently, I heard that there are many industrial chemical projects in Mengjiawan City, and Tianye County, which is adjacent to us, actually launched three chemical projects in a row in the second half of last year. ”

"Investment promotion in other regions is in full swing, which puts a lot of pressure on us."

"We have been wearing this hat for many years, should we continue to wear it?" Zhang Qiang was slightly excited, raised his hand and said loudly.

Zhou Nan smiled, "Secretary Zhang, in fact, there are many places that are rushing to declare a national-level poverty-stricken county...... With the hat of a poor county, you can get a lot of financial subsidies...... The central government now has a lot of special poverty alleviation funds allocated downward! ”

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "We don't want subsidies, expect this kind of subsidies to get rich?" Can it develop urban construction, improve public welfare, and enable the people to live a well-off life? No! ”

"Secretary Chen, every time I go to the countryside and see the people in the old area living so hard, I feel uncomfortable! I have been in Ningshan County for seven or eight years, and the secretary of the county party committee has also worked for five or six years, but it has not made Ningshan's economy improve somewhat, and I am really ashamed! ”

Zhang Qiang sighed, and Chen Yan smiled, "Comrade Zhang Qiang can have this mind, and he is a competent parent official." The reason why poor areas are poor and the economy cannot develop is due to various factors, which may require the collective efforts of several generations to solve. The city party committee recognized the work of Comrade Zhang Qiang and other comrades in the county. ”

Chen Dong sat there and sneered secretly in his heart, saying in his heart that this Zhang Qiang is too good at acting...... Do you really think you're Zhang Qingtian? Dedicated to doing practical things for the people? The nonsense thing is nothing more than wanting to get promoted and leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

Zhou Nan heard that the meeting convened by the county party committee, several people from the engineering project department did not pay attention to it, so he casually followed Zhang Qiang's words and said, "Secretary Zhang, did you not make it clear to them in the phone notice...... Supposedly it shouldn't be like this. ”

Zhang Qiang hadn't spoken yet, Chen Dong, who had been silent there, smiled coldly and interjected without being salty, "I have been notified by phone twice, and I have repeatedly asked the comrades of the reception office to emphasize to them that this meeting is very important, and the leaders of the municipal party committee should attend it in person...... But the result? The people of these enterprises are too arrogant and arrogant, and now they don't take the county party committee and county government axe in their eyes! ”

"Speaking of which, I can't help but say a few words. The people in these engineering projects in the county, relying on investors, are arrogant everywhere, and they put forward very excessive conditions to the county if they don't come. Ask for this and ask for that at every turn...... I think this has something to do with Comrade Zhou Nan's overindulgence! ”

"That's right, we are a poor county, we need investment, we need to develop the economy, but everything has a degree, we don't attract investment to attract ancestors, we can't worship them like worshipping Bodhisattvas, and give them this kind of stinky problem of no local party committee and political axe!"

Chen Dong's words carried deep emotions.

As soon as his words came out, Zhou Nan was stunned, Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang sank their faces, Chen Yan glanced at Chen Dong in disappointment, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Chen Adou, who can't afford it...... Compared with Zhou Nan, Chen Dong's measurement, demeanor, ability and wrist are really not half a star!

Chen Yan suddenly understood at this time why Chen Dong, the "old leader" who had been operating in the county for many years, was not the opponent of Zhou Nan, an outsider and a young man. It's not that Zhou Nan is too "arrogant", but that Chen Dong is too stupid.

Don't say that this is not the case, and even if it is, you can't say it clearly, especially in front of your superiors. When you say this, you are clearly belittling Zhou Nan and finding fault with Zhou Nan, but in fact, you beat a lot of people and scolded Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang together.

Although these enterprises were introduced by Zhou Nan, this is Zhou Nan's official behavior on behalf of the county party committee and county political axe, not Zhou Nan's private work...... People have done so much work in the early stage, and you have to deny it all with a word? What qualifications do you have? Why are you? What contributions have you made to the county?!!!

The more Zhang Qiang thought about it, the more angry he became, if it wasn't for Chen Yan's face, he would definitely explode on the spot.

This man has no brains, no ability, and no grace. Sun Xiang also glanced at Chen Dong unhappily, and the evaluation of Chen Dong in his heart was instantly lowered to a lowest.

Zhou Nan sneered in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "To tell the truth, I don't agree with Comrade Chen Dong's words. These investors in the county are all large enterprises, very standardized and powerful large enterprises, and the people in the project department are very qualified. Several managers of Sky Group Ningshan Company have a bachelor's degree at the bottom, and two are high-level talents who have returned from studying in the UK......"

"Let me say something that Comrade Chen Dong doesn't like to hear. The fact that people can come to the county to invest has a certain original intention of helping the old revolutionary base areas to develop their economies...... If people value economic benefits, how can they come to invest in us? ……”

"As for what I connived at, it was even more outrageous. Hehe, Comrade Chen Dong, it's okay for a few of us to joke in private, but as local party and government leaders, we can't talk nonsense outside. ”

Zhou Nan smiled lightly, stopped at it, and said no more. After all, in front of the superior leaders, it is not good to embarrass Chen Dong too much. In this way, it not only appears that the leaders of the county are not united, but also that they have no personal quality.

But Chen Dong felt very aggrieved and angry that the people in the enterprise did not give him face this afternoon, and the anger in his heart was accumulated until now, once he began to vent, how could he stop it?

"Oh? According to Comrade Zhou Nan, are these companies coming to our county to do charity? In this case, why do you continue to ask the county and the city for preferential policies? Sky Group also proposed to be tax-free for three years, which is really a lion's mouth...... Helping the old revolutionary base area is a high-sounding statement, but in fact it is just a cover to fool people. ”

Chen Dong's voice was full of mockery.

Zhou Nan saw that Chen Dong actually put on a posture of pressing inch by inch, and he couldn't help but feel a little real fire in his heart. He said in his heart, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be like you when he takes care of the overall situation, but you still kick your nose in the face? Since you don't want to give face - then don't ask for this face!

"It is precisely because our investment environment is still immature and the infrastructure is very backward that in order to reduce investment costs and avoid greater losses, people have proposed to strive for some preferential policies. What's wrong with that? Moreover, it is a common practice to give enterprises a considerable degree of preferential policies for investment promotion, and all localities are doing this, not to mention our Ningnan and Ningshan? ”

"It seems that Comrade Chen Dong has forgotten why Sky Group would rather scrap this project and let the tens of millions of investments go down the drain and stop work and leave a few years ago."

"Why? Because people continue to invest, they need to continue to invest in it, and the return will not be visible for at least three years. If it weren't for the economic development of the old area, as an enterprise, would people suffer this kind of loss? Are people willing to do this kind of unprofitable business? ”

"The three-year tax exemption policy was proposed by the county a long time ago, and at the beginning, Secretary Zhang and I were both present......" Zhou Nan smiled coldly, and then Zhang Qiang, who had a cold face, suddenly interjected, "This is my decision, and it was also discussed and approved at the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee." Three years of tax exemption is not excessive. In other regions, it is not uncommon for the imported enterprises to be exempted for life, let alone a three-year tax exemption. ”

"Secretary Zhang is right, three-year tax exemption is a common practice. In the past three years, it has been a difficult entrepreneurial period for enterprises, and as a local political axe, we have the responsibility to help enterprises tide over this difficulty. Moreover, the construction and operation of this project will stimulate the economic development of the county, not to mention far away, at least solve the employment problem of hundreds of people! ”

"After the operation of the logistics park, after the merchants from all over the country settle in, how much will it bring to the county in terms of taxes, goods flow and people flow? We exempted people from taxes for three years and got more. Comrade Chen Dong will not calculate this account? ”

"Therefore, at the city's economic work summary meeting a few years ago, Secretary Feng of the Municipal Party Committee praised the investors represented by Sky Group for making great sacrifices in order to help the economic development of the old revolutionary base area......

Mayor Ma also stressed at the meeting that the party committees at all levels in the city should serve enterprises wholeheartedly and escort the city's economic development......

Zhou Nan's voice changed, and his voice became extremely indifferent, "How did it get to Comrade Chen Dong's mouth, and this became a fool?" Take tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to fool people? As party members and leading cadres, we must be responsible when we speak! ”

Zhou Nan, who is so powerful, got Chen Dong in a few words! Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang glanced at each other, and there was a little smile in their eyes.

Chen Yan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, shook her head weakly, looking at Chen Dong with even more disappointment, and even quietly added a trace of disgust.

At this point, Chen Yan was speechless.

Zhou Nan had taken the initiative to stop fighting before, but how could this Chen Dong not know the current affairs and continue to provoke the war, just fight, and he is not someone's opponent, he can't say the right thing, and Zhou Nan will come around in a few sentences.

Chen Dong's heart suddenly burst into action, knowing that he had lost his words.

For the Sky Group, the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee have long had a "surname" and positive evaluation, and set it up as a model for helping the economic development of the old revolutionary base area. Now that you say this, aren't you going against the Municipal Party Committee and Feng Botao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee?

Chen Dong's lips trembled, he was speechless for a while, and his face became a little pale.

Zhou Nan glanced at him disdainfully, turned his head to Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang and said with a smile, "Two leaders, I don't think there is a need to convene a special meeting, in the name of the county party committee and county political axe, send a notice to each project department, asking them to make preparations for the inspection of the leaders of the provincial party committee." ”

Zhang Qiang hesitated for a moment, and threw a glance at Chen Yan asking for instructions, Chen Yan pondered for a moment, and said loudly, "No, it's better to have a mobilization meeting." I think so, Comrade Zhou Nan is familiar with the situation, you take the lead in mobilizing it, let the people from the enterprise hurry up, there is still some time, hurry up or not late, we will hold a meeting as soon as possible to convey the spirit of the instructions of the municipal party committee and municipal axe. ”

Chen Dong's face suddenly became ugly.

Chen Yan said this, which is equivalent to "depriving" him of the right to participate in this work again. From the time he was recommended to the time he was "exempted", it took less than two hours before and after, and this speed seemed to be faster...... After speaking, Chen Yan raised her wrist and looked at her watch, "It's only four o'clock, and there is still time." Comrade Zhou Nan, you hurry up and implement, Comrade Zhang Qiang and Comrade Sun Xiang and I will go to the reception of the county party committee to have a look, and come back for another meeting! ”

After speaking, Chen Yan Huoran got up and strode towards the door.

Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang hurriedly followed, and Zhou Nan also smiled indifferently and walked out. Before going out, he glanced at Chen Dong with a cold gaze intentionally or unintentionally, and the condescending and indifferent smile floating on the corner of his mouth made Chen Dong almost go crazy.

Only Chen Dong was left in the empty reception room, standing there, his face was blue and white, and his shoulders were slightly trembling.
