Chapter 039 Investigate Liangxiao

Why? Xiao Chen had to guess. If you are optimistic, of course, it is that Director Xiao is now more and more valued by the central leadership, so he takes it with him wherever he goes. This is a very common situation in Huaxia, if the leader is not happy with you, you still want to follow the leader all day long? What's that one around you called? Call it a cronie, call it a confidant! As everyone knows, there has always been a key in Chinese officialdom: "To lead the people around you, you must be a leader"? The general secretary and the prime minister like to take him Xiao Chen for inspection and research in China, and anyone who sees it will think that the general secretary and the prime minister are cultivating him, right?

But Xiao Chen always felt that something was wrong, if he wanted to say that the instrument was heavy, why not be heavy in the morning and not heavy in the evening, this time after he cut a few axes in the Northeast, the two "bosses" were heavy?

After hesitating, Xiao Chen still dialed the uncle's phone. To be precise, it was a call to Li Youlin, the actual confidential secretary of the uncle, deputy secretary general of the State Council and deputy secretary of the party group of the General Office of the Government Council, because the uncle should have met with the Minister of Defense of Kazakhstan Artenbayev and the chairman and president of the Supreme Executive Committee of the French AXA Insurance Group Henri Brown. De Castries can't confirm for the time being whether he's convenient to listen to the phone.

Li Youlin's phone is set, Xiao Chen's number belongs to the category that can be called in 24 hours, and he soon answered the phone, but his voice was relatively quiet: "Hey? Director Xiao Chen? I'm Li Youlin. ”

"Well, I'm Xiao Chen, Comrade Lin, is Premier Xiao still meeting with foreign guests?"

"I am talking to the Chairman of the Supreme Executive Committee and President of AXA Insurance Group. De Castries talked about welcoming AXA Group and other international financial enterprises to develop in China. Li Youlin replied in a low voice.

"That's it......" Xiao Chen sank slightly: "Then let's do it, Premier Xiao will be free for a while, you can help me say a word, please ask him to call me if he is free, okay?" ”

"Okay, there are about forty minutes left in Premier Xiao's meeting, and I will convey your meaning to Premier Xiao in a moment." Li Youlin responded.

About an hour later, Xiao Chen received a call back from his uncle in the office: "Back to Beijing?" What's the matter? ”

Xiao Chen could hear that the uncle was probably still very busy, so he made a long story short and asked his suspicions to see if the uncle knew the inside story.

"Why, you know you're scared?" Xiao Zheng seemed a little funny: "Don't worry, the general secretary and the prime minister are doing this to protect you, you keep a low profile during this time, the situation in the Northeast has always been complicated, do you think you can handle this situation properly?" In the next period of time, you will honestly go to the central provinces with the prime minister to think about the rise of the central region, and the northeast side was smashed down by you and knocked the lake out of a thousand layers...... In short, you don't care, the central government will solve this matter. ”

Xiao Chen's heart froze, and he subconsciously asked: "There is a big move in the Northeast?" ”

Xiao Zheng was silent for a while and said, "This time, you are simply a Gavrillo. Prinzip went crazy on the spot in Huanggang, and as a result, Wang Kun stopped so many people on the spot, which was similar to the effect of the gunfire in Sarajevo. The general secretary joked with me a few days ago, saying that he was now bīlhelm II by you, and he couldn't fight if he wanted to......"

Xiao Chen now understood that the general secretary must have had an overall plan, but he was beaten by himself and had to launch it in advance, so in this case, it means that the general secretary may not be a small knock on the Northeast officials this time, but it is likely to be a big change.

“…… Got it. Xiao Chen could only reply like this, this matter was no longer something he could continue to chā with.

"Another thing I want to tell you, I have read the arrangement, in the second half of the year, I will visit four European countries on financial and industrial and commercial matters, and you may be asked to accompany you."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen was a little strange: "But finance and industry and commerce are not the categories I am in charge of. ”

Xiao Zheng didn't say much, just said, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Xiao Chen had no choice but to shut up.

Next, less than two days after Xiao Chen returned to the capital, he was told to pack up and accompany the prime minister to investigate the two provinces of Xiaobei and Xiaonan.

Just over a month ago, that is, in the capital in March this year, a chūn wind bloomed the smiling faces of the people in the middle of the country; A burst of chūn thunder, jīdàng in the middle of the people's hearts!

On March 5, the sonorous and powerful voice of Premier Wen Chengxi came from the solemn Great Hall of the People: promote the rise of the central region and form a new pattern of interaction between the east, the middle and the west, complementary advantages, mutual promotion and common development.

This is an inspiring voice, and the people of the central part of the country have been looking forward to the rise for a long time! How many times have opportunities passed by, and a heavy sense of loss often haunts my heart. Now, the short words, such as the early chūn thunder, such as the dry land rain, in the hearts of the people in the middle of the country jī a thousand layers of làng.

This sound is like a war drum urging the conquest, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers......

Once upon a time, Xiaobei, a large province in central China, was burdened with the reputation of "the thoroughfare of nine provinces", but had to face the embarrassing situation of "central collapse" and "policy margin".

From the late 70s of the last century, the focus on the development of the Pearl River Delta, to the 80s to build the Yangtze River Delta, and then the 90s to build the Jinglintang and Bohai Triangle, the central provinces have not caught the "policy express".

From the opening up of the coast, to the development of the western region, and then to the revitalization of the northeast, Xiaobei, which is uniquely blessed, has passed by opportunities again and again. Abandoned in the middle? Forgotten in the middle? Is the central part just a geographical sense of "connecting the east and the west"? After more than 20 years of reform and opening up, although Xiaobei has not stopped catching up, it has also lost many opportunities that people in central China should seize because of their loss, waiting, and wait-and-see.

After shouting for more than 20 years and looking forward to it for more than 20 years, now, isn't the opportunity in front of the people in the middle?

"The state supports the central region to give full play to its geographical and economic advantages, accelerate the pace of reform, opening up and development, strengthen the construction of modern agriculture and important commodity grain bases, strengthen infrastructure construction, develop competitive manufacturing and high-tech industries, and improve the level of industrialization and urbanization."

This is the first time that the CPC Central Committee and the Government Council have written the promotion of the rise of the central region as a major measure to coordinate the coordinated development of the Chinese region into the political work report, and its significance is extraordinary for Xiaobei, a large province in central China.

Commodity grain base, manufacturing, high-tech, these resounding "business cards" unique to Chudi are the abundant capital for Xiaobei to implement the strategy of rising in the central region.

"The rise of the central region, Xiaobei bears the brunt", Jiangcheng Mayor Li Xiansheng was particularly excited at the National People's Congress. At last year's "Two Sessions", he raised the question of "where is Jiangcheng", which "shocked the four people", and finally contributed to the birth of a major decision - the construction of Jiangcheng Economic Circle. At this year's "Two Sessions", he took the lead in putting forward the proposal of "promoting the rise of the central region and supporting the revitalization of the old industrial base in Jiangcheng". ——This Jiangcheng is not the other Jiangcheng, this is the Jiangcheng of Xiaobei Provincial Capital, not the Jiangcheng of Xianglin Industrial Output Value in the province.

"Following the opening up of the coast, the development of the western region, and the revitalization of the northeast, the coordinated development of the central region will be promoted to a national strategy of decisive significance for the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society in China", Yan Yunyang, a professor at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, also brought the "Suggestions on Accelerating the Construction of Jiangcheng Urban Economic Circle and Promoting the Rise of the Central Region". Before leaving for Beijing, he and his colleagues completed a 60,000-word survey report that comprehensively examined and demonstrated the strategy for the rise of the central region. The report will soon be submitted to the top decision-makers of Xiaobei Province and Jiangcheng City.

Relevant experts have long pointed out that in the face of the important strategic opportunity period in which China's economy is advancing from east to west and the transfer of world-class industries extends from China's coastal areas to the interior, the central region is not only the hinterland of the eastern region seeking development, but also the frontier of the western region's opening up.

"It's time for the Midlands to rise! No one has forsaken us, unless we ourselves have lost our affection and faith! This is the consensus of the deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from Xiaobei.

Spread out the map of China, Xiaobei sits in the center of China, and its location is unobstructed.

The Yangtze River, which runs through the east and west, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway that runs through the north and south, and the intersection of the Beijing-Zhuhai and Shanghai-Rong expressways, constitute the irreplaceable location advantages of other central cities. Universities and scientific research institutes stand side by side, large state-owned enterprise groups are famous, and the main grain-producing areas "like to see rice and rice plants", which is the envy of many provinces.

But on the other hand, Xiaobei has more difficulties than other places: a large population, dense rural labor, low level of urbanization, prominent "three rural" problems, and arduous tasks for the transformation of traditional industries.

"In recent years, the central region has been affected by multiple factors, such as the deepening of economic globalization, the tilt of macroeconomic policy orientation, and the intensification of regional competition, and has seen the emergence of relatively obvious characteristics of 'marginalization,'" said Deputy Yan Yunyang, who said that "marginalization" is prominently manifested in the following aspects: the decline of the manufacturing industry, the shrinking of employment, the outflow of labor in large quantities, the sluggish investment and domestic demand, and the tendency of further widening the gap with the developed regions. We are a large agricultural province but not a strong agricultural province, we are a large province of science and education but not a strong province of science and education, we are a province with a large number of talents but not a strong province of talents, and we are a province with a large population but a poor financial province...... This is an embarrassing reality that we have to face. The "collapse of the central region" is not an "evaluation" imposed on us by others, but a sober understanding of the situation by the people in the central part based on self-reflection.

Some experts and scholars believe that the current incoherent development of China's east-west and north-south development is largely due to the fact that Xiaobei, the strategic fulcrum of China's development, is not strong enough, and its role of connecting the east and the west, connecting the south to the north, and the "node" transmission effect have not been fully brought into play.

"Proceeding from the strategic perspective of the coordinated development of the Chinese region and the macro pattern of the development of the central region, through the process of making breakthroughs in key areas, moving from point to area, and constantly advancing, a number of regional priorities with good basic conditions and strong regional driving force should be selected for guidance and support at this stage," Deputy Yan Yunyang suggested.

Promoting social harmony, attaching importance to the quality of development, narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, and "balance" have become the new strategic keywords for China's development. The central region gets out of the "collapse" and rises as soon as possible, which is the wish of the people in the central region, and it is also the call of the times.

What is the rise of the central region? With the rise of the central region, what should "I" do?

This is a common topic for the deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) attending the National "Two Sessions" in Xiaobei.

More than 160 motions, suggestions, criticisms, and opinions, and more than 80 motions, all of which were written by the deputies and committee members, were inseparable from development and were soaked with responsibility. The people's feelings, public opinions, and people's wisdom have turned into wind and thunder at the bottom of the pen, sounding the clarion call for rise.

"In the face of policy weakness, Jiangcheng did not complain, did not helplessly wait and see, but remained sober and pragmatic in the appeal of the outside world." Deputy Li Xiansheng pointed out that in the face of new opportunities and challenges, Jiangcheng people will take accelerating development as the theme, strengthening the city and enriching the people as the core, enhance the city's competitiveness, enhance the city's affinity, shape the city's personality and charm, improve the city's comprehensive strength, and build Jiangcheng into an important economic, trade, financial, transportation information, science and technology education center in central China. We will strive to take the lead in basically realizing modernization in the central and western regions in 10 to 15 years.

Deputy Yan Yunyang also held that the central region should focus on improving its internal strength, straightening out its system, laying a good foundation, cultivating its strong points, speeding up the transformation of its political functions, and speeding up the cultivation of non-governmental economic entities. "Don't be discouraged, don't make unrealistic demands, the catch-up strategy is certainly a good thing, but the economic law cannot be violated." He pointed out that if the middle reaches of the Yangtze River want to occupy a place in the next round of competition, it must take the road of unity, establish competitive urban agglomerations and urban belts through division of labor and cooperation, and jointly build the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Zone.

In order to attract talents, capital and technology to the central region, it is necessary for the central region to creatively create a high-quality entrepreneurial environment and turn the "central flat land" into a "golden land for entrepreneurship". To this end, Governor Chen Changsheng put forward a new idea of environmental innovation: in accordance with the principle of separating government from enterprise and government from business, change the mode of government regulation and supervision, and strive to build a rule of law, service, transparency, and integrity; Efforts will be made to promote the construction of four major environmental innovation projects of "system innovation, administrative speed-up, credit Xiaobei, and high-quality service"; Delegate all the powers that can be delegated, abolish all the fees that can be abolished, and streamline all the approvals that can be streamlined, so that vitality can burst out and wealth can fully flow.

"Complaining, lamenting, wait-and-see, will not be out of" productivity ", in the face of opportunities, what we need most now is to lie down and taste courage, start from ourselves, and contribute all strength and wisdom to the rise of the central region!" This sentence of Wu Shaoxun, a representative from the private enterprise circles, represents the voice of everyone.

The strategy of the rise of the central region is like a drumbeat, urging people to forge ahead. The Chinese dragon is going to take off, the dragon head has been raised, the dragon tail has swinged, and the dragon body does not move!

After the rain, the land of Jingchu is melting, the rape is yellow, the green fields are flat, and the eyes are full of show.

From the 22nd to the 23rd, Wen Chengxi, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Premier of the State Council, and his entourage conducted research on the current economic operation in Jiangcheng. He went deep into the port terminals, enterprise workshops and scientific research units, talked cordially with cadres and workers, learned in detail about production, operation and research and development, and presided over a symposium on the economic situation of the five provinces.

Jiangcheng is known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces", with a large number of universities and scientific research institutes, and is an important comprehensive transportation hub and industrial base in China, a leading city in the central region, an important central city, and plays a leading role in the rise of the central region. Premier Wen Chengxi has always been very concerned about the development of Jiangcheng and has high hopes. This is the third time that Premier Moon has visited Jiangcheng since he became premier last year. Leading comrades from the General Office of the Government Affairs Yuan, the National Development and Reform Commission and other relevant ministries and commissions accompanied the investigation.

In order to give full play to the advantages of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and enhance the ability to serve the central and western regions, the Xiaobei Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have made a major strategic decision to build a new port in Jiangcheng in recent years, and the ports of Jiangcheng, Ezhou, Huanggang and Xianning will be planned and constructed in a unified manner.

On the morning of the 22nd, the weather was fine, and Premier Wen Chengxi drove nearly 70 kilometers to the Yangluo Port District, a new port in Jiangcheng, which was under construction, as soon as he got off the plane. The crane in the port area is towering, and ships shuttle back and forth in the river. Wen Chengxi stood on the riverbank, concentrating on the distance, and inquired in detail about the construction and operation of Xingang.

The person in charge of the port told the prime minister that after the Yangluo port area is completed, Xiaobei and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River will form the main body of container transshipment with Yangluo New Port as the core, and it will also become the core port of Jiangcheng New Port. The Prime Minister was very pleased to hear this.

Subsequently, Wen Chengxi visited the dock workers and the crew of the "COSCO No. 3" who were unloading containers, and had a cordial conversation with everyone. He said that the construction and utilization of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River should follow the principles of scientific planning, rational distribution, river improvement, ecological protection, and sustainable utilization. The construction of water transport terminals should be based on the needs of economic and social development and adapt to local economic and social conditions. It is necessary to comprehensively manage the golden waterway of the Yangtze River to ensure the safety of ship transportation. It is necessary to attach great importance to ecological protection, not only to give full play to the important role of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, but also to make the Yangtze River a clear river and a clean river, which requires the treatment of port and ship discharge according to environmental protection standards, so that our future generations can use this golden waterway in a sustainable manner.

Donghu High-tech Industrial Development Zone is a national independent innovation demonstration zone, which has formed an industrial pattern dominated by the optoelectronic information industry and competing for the development of high-tech industries such as biology, new energy, environmental protection, and consumer electronics. On the afternoon of the 22nd, Wen Chengxi came here and inspected a number of enterprises and national laboratories. Everywhere he goes, he must carefully understand the R&D and operation situation, and encourage enterprises to overcome difficulties and achieve better results. When visiting the exhibition of independent innovation achievements in East Lake High-tech Zone, a scientific research achievement and new product in the fields of gene, measurement, geographic information system attracted the attention of the premier, Wen Chengxi talked with experts from time to time to understand the progress of scientific research in related fields, and fully affirmed the achievements of scientific and technological innovation in the high-tech zone in recent years.

Jiangcheng Heavy Machinery Chuáng Group Co., Ltd. is the backbone enterprise of Chuáng with the largest production specifications and the largest variety of heavy and super heavy machinery in China. Wen Chengxi walked into the company's large-scale processing workshop and assembly workshop, in the workshop, a self-developed heavy-duty machine Chuáng is processing large-scale equipment for the construction of major projects in China. The person in charge of the enterprise proudly said: "We are Huaxia equipment and equipment Huaxia." He told the prime minister that in recent years, enterprises have taken the overall relocation and transformation as an opportunity to accelerate technological transformation, and realized the optimization and adjustment of product structure, with a numerical control rate of 95%, which is widely used in machinery, energy, aerospace, transportation and other industries.

Wen Chengxi said to the workers who gathered around: "The phrase 'Huaxia equipment, equipment Huaxia' is good, and I want to add a sentence of 'Huaxia manufacturing, Huaxia creation'." What determines competitiveness is ultimately creation, intellectual property rights and branding, as well as enterprise quality and efficiency. The world is progressing, all countries are developing, we cannot be satisfied with the achievements we have made, we must brace our spirits. He encouraged the cadres and workers of the enterprise to carry forward the spirit of not admitting defeat, and use their wisdom and labor to make the Chinese manufacturing industry from big to strong, among the world's leading positions, and win glory for the Chinese manufacturing industry.

Jiangcheng Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is a joint venture that designs and manufactures small and medium-sized liquid crystal displays. It was built in 1997, when the impact of international trade was the most serious in Asia, after several years of efforts, it has been put into trial operation, and the company's products are used in mobile vehicles, industrial instruments and other fields. Wen Chengxi walked into the chip cutting and module workshop to carefully understand the production process and process. The person in charge of the enterprise told the prime minister that the company's production capacity and sales revenue are in the forefront of the world among similar products, and most of the equipment and technology have been localized. Wen Chengxi praised the company's spirit of bucking the trend and being brave in innovation, and encouraged the company's employees to rely on product quality and enterprise efficiency to cope with challenges; It is necessary to overcome more key technologies, overcome difficulties, and continue to move forward.

MCC South Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise engaged in the design of steel, energy and other projects, undertakes and completes hundreds of national key engineering design tasks, and has gone abroad to participate in the design of a number of international key projects, and has achieved good economic benefits. At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the 22nd, Wen Chengxi came to the company, and the person in charge of the enterprise introduced to the prime minister the situation of leapfrog development through independent innovation in recent years. Subsequently, Wen Chengxi came to the enterprise R&D center to visit the R&D designers. The designers here are young and energetic. Premier Moon, who likes to communicate with young people, sat down and talked to everyone cordially. Seeing that the Prime Minister was amiable, everyone gathered around the Prime Minister. Premier Wen Chengxi suddenly asked: "What do you think is the main problem of the current Huaxia iron and steel industry?" A young man rushed to reply: "Overcapacity." Wen Chengxi praised him for being right. The premier went on to say that Huaxia's iron and steel industry is facing major structural adjustments. The first is to improve the degree of concentration and change the situation of small and scattered; the second is to achieve modernization, create the world's most advanced steelmaking technology, and produce high-quality products; The third is to promote energy conservation and emission reduction, especially to reduce energy consumption and pollution. The structural adjustment of the steel industry has also put forward new tasks for the design units, and we must design the world's most modern steel plants in this direction, and design steel plants with high standards of energy conservation and consumption reduction.

"I hope you will think about what the country thinks, be anxious about what the country is anxious about, and make due contributions to promoting the structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of the steel industry." When parting, Wen Chengxi said with full expectations for the majority of R&D personnel. Everyone responded with warm applause and said that they would live up to the premier's expectations.

Jiangcheng Optoelectronics National Laboratory located in Huazhong University of Science and Technology is mainly engaged in the research of optical communication, optoelectronic storage, integrated optoelectronic devices, etc., with 9 scientific research departments and 33 scientific research teams. Wen Chengxi walked into one laboratory after another, listened carefully to the briefing in front of a number of high-tech projects and products such as 3D disc players, high-end CNC systems, phase change memory, etc., and encouraged everyone to increase the pace of independent innovation and provide strong scientific and technological support for enhancing the international competitiveness of Huaxia's optoelectronics industry.

When Wen Chengxi walked outside, it was already the beginning of twilight. In the face of the scientific researchers and teachers and students of Huazhong University of Science and Technology who rushed to hear the news, he told everyone that since the founding of New China, especially in the more than 30 years since the reform and opening up, China has undergone tremendous changes. What has attracted the world's attention in this change is that a large number of high-quality talents have emerged in many fields in China. The future of China is pinned on you. We must be determined to increase investment in science, technology, and education, and train all kinds of qualified personnel urgently needed for socialist modernization, so that our country will always be in an invincible position. Premier Moon hopes that university students will study hard, have the courage to practice, and become useful talents needed by the country in the future.

In recent years, Jiangcheng has stepped up the construction of affordable housing, and more and more low-income families have moved into new homes. This year, Jiangcheng has put forward the goal of building 10,000 new low-rent housing units. On the evening of the 22nd, Wen Chengxi came to Lihuayuan Community, Jiangcheng City, to visit the residents of affordable housing and low-rent housing. More than 3,000 affordable and low-rent housing units have been delivered. Wen Chengxi successively came to Liu Fulin and Hu Shu to collect the family, and the two families had been renting a house for a long time, but in March this year, they moved into a low-rent house built by Zhengfǔ, the property was free, and the rent was halved. Wen Chengxi cordially inquired about their income, living conditions, etc., and also went into the bedroom and kitchen to inspect them one by one. He told the cadres and masses present that in the future, the government should further increase investment and raise the level of social security for low-income groups.

On the morning of the 23rd, Wen Chengxi presided over a symposium on the economic situation and discussed with the responsible persons of Liao'an, Jiangnan, Xiaobei, Lingnan and Xichuan provinces. Wen Chengxi stressed: It is necessary to conscientiously implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 17 th CPC Central Committee, closely follow up and conscientiously analyze the economic situation, speed up the transformation of the economic development mode, and strive to do a good job in all aspects of the current work.

At this meeting, Premier Wen Chengxi specially asked Xiao Chen to introduce some policy plans for the rise of the central region to the heads of the five provinces, and gave a detailed description of the economic situation of the six central provinces. Of the more than four hours of the meeting, nearly one and a half hours were Xiao Chen's speech, and it was an unscripted speech, which was quite rare in a high-level meeting in China, and Xiao Chen also impressed the responsible persons of the five provinces. Premier Wen Chengxi listened with a smile on his face.

……

After experiencing the severe cold of winter and the gestation of chūn, Xiaonan in central China entered the fiery midsummer.

Xiaonan's economy is also like this weather, coming out of the "cold winter", showing obvious signs of stabilization and recovery, and is working hard to achieve "corner overtaking".

At the critical moment of coping with the impact of international trade on domestic enterprises after joining the TO and the economy began to improve, Wen Chengxi, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and premier of the Government Council, came to Xiaonan from the 26th to the 28th. Accompanied by Peng Cheng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, and You Jing, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor of the Province, Premier Wen Chengxi successively went to enterprises, rural areas, communities and universities in Xingcheng, Chuzhou, Weigu and other places to inspect and investigate, and pondered how the central and western regions can play an important role in coping with the crisis and how to accelerate the process of the rise of the central region.

It's a trip to cheer up, it's a trip to boost confidence. All the way to see, all the way to ask, all the way to the message. The premier's visit to Xiaonan has strengthened the confidence of the people of Xiaonan in coping with crises and challenges, added strength to the economy of Xiaonan that is picking up, and let the people of Xiaonan see the hope of the rise of central China.

On the evening of the 28th, the large conference room of Xiaoxiang Hotel was brightly lit.

In the past two days, the prime minister has been inspecting Xiaonan, always starry and nightly, with a full schedule, watching the scene during the day and listening to reports at night.

Walking into the large conference room of Xiaoxiang Hotel, Wen Chengxi said that in August 2003, he conducted research in Xingcheng, and it was also in this conference room that a symposium on promoting the rise of the central region was held. This survey and the "Star City Meeting" provided a basis for decision-making. In April this year, the central government issued the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Rise of the Central Region". The achievements made by the Xiaonan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government in accelerating the implementation of the strategy for the rise of the central region should be fully affirmed.

Standing on the overall situation of "a game of chess for the whole country", with the thinking of how the central and western regions can play an important role in dealing with business shocks, the prime minister came to Xiaonan to investigate and understand the implementation of the package of plans to deal with business and trade shocks. The premier said that the advantages of China's economy are its vast territory, large room for maneuver, and great potential for the development of the central and western regions, and it is necessary to pay more attention to its important role in coping with the impact of international commerce and trade.

Enterprises are thriving, patches of farmland are verdant, and the Xinghuawei urban agglomeration is full of vitality. Seeing the gratifying changes in Xiaonan in dealing with the crisis, and seeing the smiling faces of the cadres and the masses in high spirits, Wen Chengxi felt sincerely happy. He said that Xiaonan has advantages and conditions for the rise of the central region and the response to the crisis. Xiaonan is an important grain production base, energy raw material base, modern equipment manufacturing and high-tech industrial base in China, and is a comprehensive transportation hub and a national "two-type society" pilot zone.

"Xiaonan, this place is so beautiful!" Along the way, Wen Chengxi saw the green mountains and green waters of Xiaonan, and learned that the forest coverage rate of Xiaonan has been increasing in recent years, and he said with emotion that such a beautiful place must be protected. If you destroy the environment, you can't get anything back! He affirmed the progress of Xinghuawei's "two-type society" construction and was also full of expectations: "Do a solid job and play an exemplary role for the whole country." ”

In the face of the impact of international trade, how to reverse the unfavorable situation and achieve greater development as soon as possible is a matter of great concern to Wen Chengxi. In Xinghuawei, the prime minister inspected 10 enterprises in a row.

Xingcheng is the famous "capital of construction machinery" in China. Wen Chengxi is very concerned about the development of this industry in Xiaonan. On January 29 this year, Premier Wen Chengxi, who was visiting Germany, personally witnessed the signing of the project of Sany Heavy Industry to invest 100 million euros to establish a production base in Germany. The trip came to Xiaonan, and the prime minister inspected another construction machinery enterprise - Zoomlion.

Zoomlion is known as the "museum" of heavy construction machinery. A pump truck displayed in a glass window caught the Prime Minister's eye. This is the first trailer pump developed and produced by Zoomlion, which returned to "home" in January last year after 15 years of farewell to Xiaonan and Northeast China. When he heard that this pump truck had gone to North Korea, Wen Chengxi said humorously: "Yo, it has also gone abroad and stayed abroad!" ”

In the hot workshop of Tianchen Auto Parts Co., Ltd., which was put into use in advance, the production scheduling board indicated that the production task of the month was 6,000 vehicles, and the production task of the day was 200 vehicles. According to the person in charge of the company, Tianchen Xiaonan Company will produce more than 60,000 cars this year.

Not long ago, the prime minister once gave instructions on a document to promote Tianchen's innovative spirit. Now, seeing that Tianchen's production situation is very good, Wen Chengxi is very happy. He said to Zhao Fuquan, president and CEO of Tianchen Automobile, who happened to come to Xiaonan to supervise the work, "those who travel 100 miles are half 90", you have walked 90 miles, but there are still 10 miles away, and these 10 miles may be the most difficult, so we must not stop, we must continue to reform and innovate, and constantly develop safe, comfortable, economical, energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars.

After learning from Bosch Automotive Products (Xingcheng) Co., Ltd. that 90% of the production of some parts has been localized, the prime minister said with great excitement that as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, Bosch is the result of reform and opening up. At present, in response to the impact of commerce and trade, we must unswervingly adhere to reform and opening up.

Inspecting two automobile and parts manufacturing enterprises one after another, Wen Chengxi said that the production chain of the automobile industry is very long, which can drive the development of many related industries. He also listed them one by one: it can drive steel, rubber, glass, motors, molds, ......

"Let China's big planes fly into the blue sky, this is the will of the country, but also the will of the people of the whole country." This banner by China Southern Aviation Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. reminded the prime minister of his personal experience in the Yangtze River disaster relief in '98 (note: Premier Wen was the vice premier and commander-in-chief of the National Flood Relief Center at that time). He said that helicopters played an important role in the relief of the Yangtze River in '98. The level of production and manufacturing of helicopters in our country is not high. We should aspire to build not only our own large aircraft, but also our own high-performance small and medium-sized aircraft and helicopters. "Please rest assured, Prime Minister!" The workers burst into tears and clapped vigorously. ——This jī movement is a rare time for Xiao Chen to feel more real, the Chinese people want to build a big plane, not only the military thinks about it day and night, but also the ordinary aviation workers are quite concerned, and even think about it, countless ordinary people are also very concerned.

Over the years, the research and development of high-speed trains, power traction core technology and equipment, CSR Chuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute Co., Ltd. is well-known. This made the Prime Minister particularly pleased. He said to the employees of the company, because you are young, because you are creative, you will be able to be in the leading position in the world, just like the EMU, you will always run ahead with acceleration.

The prime minister remembered two figures in Mengjie Home Textile Co., Ltd.: the company has 174 patents, and 26 patents are issued a year. Wen Chengxi then communicated with the workers of the embroidery huā sewing workshop and said that patents are independent intellectual property rights, which are the foundation of our company's competition and the greatest wealth of the enterprise.

"Mengjie" is a private enterprise, and some products are still produced abroad. Wen Chengxi said with special emotion that in the early years, we posted other people's cards and gave money to others. Now, people are starting to put our cards. This turning point shows that the Chinese people are wise and have the ability to occupy the highest end of the consumer market. The prime minister also gave the women workers four words: "ingenuity".

Regarding the OEM, the prime minister just happened to mention it, but Xiao Chen, who was standing next to the prime minister, remembered the joint venture between Tianchen Automobile and Chrysler, which is actually strictly speaking, not only Tianchen here, but also BMW Brilliance, Beijing Benz, FAW-Volkswagen, Oriental Volkswagen, Dongfeng Honda, Suixian Honda, Suixian Toyota, etc., are all OEM...... The Chinese automobile industry has a long way to go......

The fields are full of wild machines, and the rice is tasseled. On the morning of the 28th, in the super rice 10,000 mu demonstration area in Yongan Town, Liuyang, farmers were busy nervously.

Wen Chengxi got out of the car and walked straight to the ridge. While leaning over to inspect the growth of super rice, he had a cordial conversation with the farmers who gathered around, carefully asking how high the yield per mu is expected, how much the price can be sold, how big the input, and whether the subsidy has been received.

Liu Qishun, a 70-year-old farmer, told Premier Wen that this paddy field is a super hybrid rice demonstration field of Academician Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", who "planted three crops and produced four".

On the afternoon of August 28 last year, Wen Chengxi made a special trip to the National Hybrid Rice Research Center to visit Academician Yuan Longping. When he heard that this day was Yuan Longping's 73rd birthday, the prime minister also sent someone to send a birthday cake to celebrate his birthday. At that time, Academician Yuan Longping reported to the premier the current situation of super rice research and depicted a better tomorrow for the development of super rice. Last year, in the super rice demonstration area of Yong'an Town, the average yield per mu of super hybrid early rice was 595.9 kg, the average yield of late rice per mu was 605.1 kg, and the yield per mu of double cropping exceeded 1200 kg.

In the rice fields, the breeze blows layers of green. Wen Chengxi pulled up an ear of rice, carefully examined the full grains, and a happy smile was written on his face. Liu Qishun told the premier that in recent years, the party's policies have been good, and the peasants have benefited from them, and he is very happy. Wen Chengxi replied with a smile: "If the policy is good, it takes people's efforts and God's help." Lao Liu Le said: "Heaven also helps, and people also work hard." Wen Chengxi told Lao Liu that now our national summer grain wheat is a bumper harvest. If the early rice is also harvested, the next task is to ensure a good harvest of the late rice. At present, in dealing with economic difficulties, the most important thing is to first stabilize agriculture and grain. If agriculture is stabilized, the economy will be stabilized, and the people's livelihood will be stabilized.

"Have you received all the subsidies for growing grain?" The prime minister asked farmer Yi Yinglong. Yi Yinglong told Premier Wen: "The direct subsidy for grain, subsidies for improved seeds, and subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery add up to about 120 yuan, and they have all been cashed." Premier Wen said that we must ensure that farmers can increase their incomes after the increase in production. This year, the state will raise the minimum purchase price for wheat by 1 máo and rice by 1 máo3. In this way, you will be able to earn more money by selling rice, and if you earn more money, you will be able to buy more things in the city, and everyone's life will be better and better.

Two college students, Ding Qiong and Li Lian, are investigating the panicle rate of rice in the field. The Prime Minister stepped forward to encourage them to study hard and promote the most advanced agricultural technology to farmers in the future, so as to greatly increase their incomes.

Wen Chengxi asked Li Lian: "Do you like the major of agriculture?" Li Lian replied: "I like it, I just like it!" After all, we are an agricultural country! ”

Wen Chengxi was very happy to hear it. He said: "Yes, our country is a big agricultural country, but we must become an agricultural power, and the hope for the future lies in you young people." ”

On the evening of the 28th, Xiaonan University at the foot of Yuelu Mountain was boiling.

When I heard that the prime minister was coming, the students gathered from all directions, and the roadside and square were full of people. Wen Chengxi insisted on getting out of the car and walking, walked among the students, and waved to everyone.

In front of the library of Xiaonan University, Premier Wen said to the students: "The road of life is not smooth, you must face and meet difficulties with thorough awareness, indomitable willpower and hard study." I hope you will remember these six words, which are here, here, and now. At this time, what should be done now, do it immediately, and don't postpone it later. This is where you can contribute to the people and the country from your position, and you can do it immediately, not elsewhere. This body is what you can do, and you must have the courage to take it and not push it to others. Students, you are people of the world, you must think about the world and do the things of the world. Warm applause came and went, echoing for a long time.

Wen Chengxi walked into the reading room and had a discussion with the representatives of the fresh graduates of Xiaonan University, who were about to go to society.

"I have always been very concerned about the distribution of fresh graduates and the future of college students. You can ask any questions, and I'll answer them, okay? "The Prime Minister's opening remarks were approachable and the students felt very cordial.

Li Haifeng, a business administration major, told the prime minister that he was about to become a college counselor. After hearing this, the prime minister said to him: "Confucius said a great and shocking sentence in the Analects, 'There is a way in the world, and there is no way to be easy.'" Students, as people of the world, we should take the affairs of the world as our own responsibility and bravely take on them. I also talk about three 'nos': the conditions are not enough to fear, the fate is not enough to believe, and the gains and losses are not enough to calculate. Firmly follow their own path and serve the people wholeheartedly. Jiang Shaoyun, a doctoral student who graduated this year, asked the premier to talk about his attitude and thoughts on college students' entrepreneurship, and the premier replied: "In the process of starting a business, there are not only troubles, but sometimes even setbacks and failures, but in the end, what awaits you is success." Happiness and the future do not belong to the ignorant, cowardly, and lazy, but to the knowledgeable, the brave, and the hardworking. ”

The Prime Minister's affectionate and philosophical words made the students' speeches more and more enthusiastic, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. Some of the students reported their graduation destinations, and some talked about their changes in thinking in their career choices. Deng Qing, a student from the School of Chemical Engineering, won the first prize in the world's first Chinese Writing and Lettering Competition, and she sent a photo of a peony to Premier Wen, wishing the motherland prosperity and strength!

Wen Chengxi listened carefully to each student's speech and communicated cordially with everyone from time to time. He hoped that Lobsang Jiahe, a Tibetan student who is about to return to his hometown to work, will make his own contribution to the happiness and well-being of the Tibetan people! He told Li Tianpeng, a student of national defense, that he should not only be a qualified soldier, but also a promising soldier.

The employment of college students is a very prominent issue at present. In order to enable college students to complete their studies with peace of mind, in April, Xiaonan Province introduced ten measures, especially for the employment of college students to implement the bottom policy, that is, after college students graduate and leave school, registered by the labor and social security department, they are regarded as flexible employment personnel, can enjoy training subsidies, job subsidies and social security subsidies, the average monthly per capita is about 700 yuan. The effect of this policy has begun to appear, stabilizing the employment expectations of college students. One recent graduate told the prime minister: "I work as an assistant in the school's employment office. I am pleased to inform you that as of June 10, the employment rate of our university reached 83.85%, an increase of 5 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Hearing this number, a smile appeared on Premier Wen's face: "What you told me is good news. ”

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed, and 9 students had spoken. Finally, Wen Chengxi said to his classmates: "I am especially willing to be with young people. The English poet Browning once said, 'Where my heart rests, so does my brain!' I would say that my heart is filled with young people, university students, and the entire young generation; What I have in mind is responsibility, expectation, and work. The government strives to create conditions for the growth of college students, and at the same time, it also places high hopes on you, and the future of the motherland is pinned on you, hoping that you will work hard to not only leave glory for this school, but also contribute to the whole country and become a pillar of talent. ”

For example, this evening, the prime minister invited Peng Cheng, secretary of the provincial party committee, You Jing, governor of Xiaonan Province and other major leaders of Xiaonan Province to meet with him, and as the main entourage, Xiao Chen was also invited.

Xiao Chen predicts that the things to be discussed in the evening will probably be mainly the issue of the rise of the central region.
