Chapter 006 Confidence and Micro-service

The scholar saw Xiao Chen and Hou Dong talking with Yan Yan, but it was not surprising, for him, this should have been a matter of course, with the relationship between the Xiao and Hou families, if there was a lack of talk on this occasion, it would be really unusual, unless it was a deliberate illusion, otherwise it would not be possible.

Hou Dongxiang sighed: "The fourth bottleneck is the investment environment and investment policy. I have read the data and found that the situation of attracting investment in Liao'an, Xianglin and Longjiang provinces, which are among the highest in the country in terms of resource occupancy, is worrying in recent years. Statistics show that in 2001, the actual utilization of foreign direct investment in the three northeastern provinces was US$3.195 billion, accounting for 6.43 percent of the country's total, which is only about one-seventh of that of East China and less than one-quarter of that of Lingnan Province. This is in strong contrast with the abundant resources and huge market potential of Northeast China. In my opinion, in the process of developing the local economy with the help of external forces, some parts of the Northeast have experienced a 'misalignment of investment promotion'.

Xiao Chen thought about it slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Misplaced investment promotion?" ”

"Yes, the investment is misplaced." Hou Dongxiang affirmed: "Emphasis is placed on the 'business environment' and the 'legal environment'. This is a big problem. ”

Xiao Chen completely understood now, he understood what Hou Dongxiang meant. Xiao Chen knew that just last year, in a northeastern province, an investor fought a lawsuit over a dispute of 20,000 yuan, and in the end, he had to pay 1.8 million yuan! The case was later corrected when the presiding judge was dismissed for breaking the law. When Xiao Chen received some foreign businessmen in Wucheng, many foreign businessmen said that they were most afraid of a bad legal environment when they came to invest. Since the Ninth Five-Year Plan, a total of 3,592 foreign-invested enterprises have been suspended or cancelled in one province in Northeast China, 1,022 more than the number of newly approved enterprises in the same period.

But Hou Dongxiang's words were not finished, he continued: "There are also things, such as emphasizing 'early free' and light 'later service'. Some places in Northeast China have left such an impression on foreign businessmen: give some preferential treatment and engage in a little 'one-stop' office and it will be over. A foreign businessman reported that he promised very well when he invited investment, but once the enterprise started to run it, trouble came, and the local electricity bill he invested in was as high as 4 yuan per kilowatt hour!

There is also the emphasis on 'attracting investment' and ignoring 'rules'. I'm not afraid of Director Xiao's jokes, just a few days ago, after the ** outbreak, a foreign businessman who came to our Liao'an to discuss investment decided not to invest. The reason is ridiculous: he planned to return to China during the ** period and wait for the ** to finish talking, but as a result, a state-owned enterprise that planned to cooperate with him immediately used all kinds of social relations to complete all the procedures for returning to China that would have taken a long time to complete in less than a few hours. Unexpectedly, this foreign businessman thinks that ** is an earth-shattering event, and it can be completed in such a short time, which shows that the uncertainty of the policy here is too great. ”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he had no choice but to shake his head slightly.

Hou Dong glanced at the secretary of the Wenshi Middle School, and the old man still watched them talk with a smile, and he didn't mean to talk about it, but it seemed that he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

"Then there is the emphasis on 'foreign businessmen' and light on 'domestic businessmen'. While attaching importance to foreign businessmen, some local governments ignore local businessmen, often attracting a foreign businessman and leaving a 'domestic businessman'. Some people even take advantage of policy loopholes. In the process of expanding investment, a local businessman in Northeast China first remitted funds to a 'foreign businessman', and this 'foreign businessman' then used the money to form a joint venture with this businessman. Since the enterprise is a foreign investment and a joint venture, there are a lot of preferential policies for this businessman. In fact, this enterprise is the businessman's own, and has nothing to do with the 'foreign businessman' at all. I don't mean to speak for this businessman, but I think we should reflect on this. ”

Xiao Chen also agreed, nodded and said: "On the one hand, there is a huge market, and on the other hand, there is a cold investment, and the three northeastern provinces should reflect on it." It is understandable that the three northeastern provinces are anxious to develop their economies, but the 'dislocation of investment promotion' will ultimately bring about damage to economic development. The three northeastern provinces should consider the problem as a whole and seek more standardized development. ”

In fact, Xiao Chen knew in his heart that the entrepreneur symposium held at the Liaodu Friendship Hotel in December last year was by no means an easy meeting for Wen Shizhong, Secretary of the Liao'an Provincial Party Committee. In the past four hours, the private entrepreneurs who went to the Liaoning delegation at the annual meeting of Chinese business leaders did not give this feudal official much affection, and the bitter water, criticisms and suggestions of the past poured in. They have 'bombarded' the soft environment in Northeast China and called for the government to change its functions.

At the symposium, many people showed a strong desire to invest, but they had a common concern - the soft investment environment in the Northeast and the functional problems of the government. "Why are private enterprises reluctant to come to Liaodu and Liao'an?" Wang Kui, chairman of Wanmeng Investment Management Co., Ltd., said, "Like playing football, the Northeast is the home of politics, not the market. The strong sense and tradition of being the master of the country is enough to discourage many private entrepreneurs."

Wang Kui is a private entrepreneur in Wucheng, and the political fǔ he is most familiar with is the Wucheng political fǔ, and he made it clear at the meeting that the banner he saw in the office of a mayor in northeast China was: "The world is worried and worried." This is Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence, and it is not bad to write it here, but he said it again, saying that the banner he saw in the office of Zhao Jiemin, the mayor of Wucheng City, was: It is better for officials not to disturb the people. The person who made the payment was none other than Xiao Chen, secretary of the municipal party committee. Wang Kui then said: In the Northeast, the government is always interested in the enterprise, and often does things for the enterprise, which is very tiring, and the enterprise is also very bitter. The market is an invisible hand, and our government is an idle hand, and it is more important than any preferential policy to be able to adjust this hand well.

Wu Ronghai, president of Chang'an Haixing Technology Investment Holding Co., Ltd., expressed doubts about the ability of political officials in Northeast China to carry out the work: "There is a saying that in Liao'an, cadres above the department level are very good, but it is difficult to say below the department level. Now some entrepreneurs feel that it is too difficult to deal with some political officials below the division chief level in the Northeast. Some opportunities that seem very good always end up finding that the cost of negotiations is so high that it cannot be carried out. ”

He also has the same feelings, as well as Zhang Wenzhong, chairman of Beijing Wumart Commercial Group Co., Ltd. He believes that the key to revitalizing the old industrial base in Northeast China is to straighten out the overall environment and link revitalization with market development and meeting consumer needs. In addition, it is necessary to provide a good legal environment. He said that in 1996 and 1997, he invested 16 million yuan to cooperate with a subsidiary of the Liao'an Provincial Department of Finance to purchase silkworm cocoons, but the result was that his assets were lost. Once I was bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope, and I never did any projects in Liao'an again. The chapter says.

Yang Gensheng, president of the Meng Niu Rǔ Industry Group, said that he was also a victim of political irregularities......

Of course, criticism is criticism, entrepreneurs have not lost confidence in the Northeast, and they will not easily let go of the great opportunity to make money. After the meeting, the CEOs of the 12 enterprises in the delegation jointly initiated the establishment of the Northeast Revitalization Fund with the Liao'an Provincial Government Research and Development Center to create a collective investment platform for private investment.

Hou Dongxiang admired Xiao Chen's sentence "It is better for officials not to disturb the people", but Xiao Chen didn't dare to take it, saying that he was just writing it casually at that time, but in fact, not disturbing the people is just one of the points of being an official "for the best", and there are still many other things to be done by officials.

"The fifth is the bottleneck of the informatization dilemma." Hou Dongxiang said: "The original low-level automation production mode and extensive management can no longer meet the requirements of the rapid development of manufacturing enterprises. Relying on traditional methods for design and production, customers can't wait.

Informatization is one of the important symbols of new industrialization and a booster for accelerating the transformation of traditional social forms into new social forms. Since the mid-70s of the last century, the Northeast manufacturing enterprises represented by Liaodu Blower Factory and Liaodu First Chuáng Factory have begun to use foreign advanced information equipment and management software to carry out information construction, and the old industrial base in Northeast China has become one of the earliest areas in China to carry out industrial information construction. It not only brings considerable economic benefits to the enterprise, but also plays the role of an informatization model and demonstration enterprise.

However, on the whole, the informatization situation of the old industrial enterprises in Northeast China is still relatively backward. The current situation is manifested in the application level is not high, the overall efficiency is not high, and the follow-up investment cannot keep up, and it is believed that this is mainly due to the influence of factors such as conservative people's ideological concepts and insufficient understanding of informatization. ”

Xiao Chen didn't comment much on this, the informatization dilemma, Hou Dongxiang listed it separately, it's not impossible, but Xiao Chen felt that this was one of the talent factors, and he listed it separately, maybe because of some problem when he was in Beizhu, he felt the importance of informatization.

Hou Dongxiang said the next one: "The sixth article is the dilemma of employment and talents. In large enterprises throughout the three northeastern provinces, it is very common for a family to rely on one unit for three generations, and even their relatives are in the same enterprise, and in some families, several generations are the same type of work.

In terms of talents, some surveys show that the level of market-oriented allocation of talents in Northeast China is low, the development of the talent market is slow, the scale is small, the information is not smooth, the service means are backward, and some high-level talents have not entered the market. Some personnel cadres said that due to the constraints of such factors as concepts, establishments, and household registration, a 'talent barrier' has formed between a small number of localities and units, and this has also hindered the flow of qualified personnel.

When I went to the local research some time ago, I said that the current human resources situation in Northeast China is more like a popsicle in summer or the dirt on the edge of a desert - an advantage with potential that is easily lost. The reason why I say this is that the reason why there are so many laid-off workers in Northeast China at present is that in the past 10 years or so, due to the constraints and influence of the planned economic system, enterprises in Northeast China have missed the opportunity for the development of light manufacturing industries such as household appliances and electronic communications, and instead of expanding and increasing capital, they have even fallen into difficulties in large numbers, thus depriving industrial workers of the conditions for combining with them.

Therefore, 'government-owned' enterprises cannot effectively seize market opportunities to carry out capital expansion, nor can they update with market changes. The large enterprises in the Northeast are all piled up with money, and the state says that they are big, and they lack growth. In this process, it is not because of the surplus of industrial workers and talents that there is a huge pressure on employment, but because there is no new injection of capital with vitality and vitality. I think that if the Northeast can attract enough private capital and expand local capital through restructuring and restructuring in the future development, then these skilled workers can make the Northeast become the world's equipment manufacturing center. However, if the economic development of Northeast China does not take off in the next few years, the depreciation and loss of talents will also be very alarming.

I asked the relevant departments to make a statistic for me, which showed that in 1996, the proportion of the population aged 15 and above in the three northeastern provinces was not only far higher than the national level, but also two to three times that of Lingnan and Jiangnan. However, by 2002, the proportion of the population with college degree or above in the population aged 15 and above was 6.24%, 7.41% and 5.58% respectively in Liao, Xiang and Hei, which was basically the same as that of Jiangnan and Lingnan. In other words, in the past six years, the talent potential of Northeast China has been greatly weakened, and there is a possibility that it will be completely lost in the future.

I heard that when Director Xiao was the secretary of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee, it was when Huaxia joined the TO, and Director Xiao specially held a research meeting on the talent work of Wucheng after joining the TO, and as a result, several very targeted systems were established. ”

Xiao Chen smiled and waved his hand: "That was the collective decision of the Wucheng team, not my idea alone. ”

Hou Dongxiang also smiled and didn't say much, just continued: "Bottleneck No. 7: Food and market problems. I have been in Liao'an for more than ten years, and I deeply feel the huge psychological gap between the people in Northeast China. In the era of insufficient food supply, it has made a great contribution to the country's food stability, and now grain is not only worthless, but also has become a burden for the government. ”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, Hou Dongxiang didn't say much about this topic, and continued to talk about the last bottleneck: "Bottleneck No. 8: environmental awareness and environmental problems. The pollution is serious, and a large amount of industrial wastewater has become the most serious river pollution in the country; There is also desertification, and the area of soil erosion is vast. We can't just focus on the present and cut off the livelihood of future generations. ”

Xiao Chen still just hummed, but in his heart, he went through the points he mentioned in his mind.

Wen Shizhong opened his mouth at this time, and said with a slight smile: "In addition to facing the eight bottlenecks mentioned by the governor just now, we must always remind ourselves that there are five to pay attention to. The revitalization of old industrial bases such as the northeast region is inseparable from the support of the central government in terms of policies and investment, but it is more necessary to provide institutional guarantees for them by deepening reform and improving the socialist market economic system. With this kind of institutional guarantee, it is possible to generate and apply new mechanisms, gain new impetus, mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of all quarters, and continuously enhance the self-development ability of the old industrial bases.

I believe that the revitalization of Northeast China must be benign, diversified, coordinated, people-oriented, and the three eastern provinces must develop together. ”

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, and asked politely: "Secretary Wen has always been rooted in the Northeast, and he must have seen it very deeply. ”

Since the last time Xiao Chen came to Liaodu to expose the case, he didn't see him as a junior or a junior, and the person who can be so prosperous in the system is the easiest to look at just by looking at his age background. The literary teacher has not fallen in Liao'an for decades, on what basis? But be careful!

Therefore, the scholar did not dare to say anything, and then said: "Five attentions, first, benign development includes three aspects: First, solve the problems left over from history. The past has been developed, and the old contradictions left over have been resolved. Second, it is necessary to solve the problems of the system, mechanism, and structure. Third, it is necessary to use a new mode of growth and pay attention to the development of connotation.

Second, diversified development. In the past, our characteristic was to stress development on the issue of state-owned enterprises. Today, in our development, we must not only carry out the shareholding system transformation of state-owned enterprises, but also develop the private economy and foreign-funded enterprises.

Third, coordinated development. First of all, it is necessary to develop not only the heavy chemical and heavy equipment manufacturing industry, but also the light industry and the electronic information IT industry; Second, it is necessary to develop both industry and the primary and tertiary industries; Third, it is necessary to develop both urban and rural areas; Fourth, we should pay attention to both economic and social development, including our cultural, sports, and public health undertakings.

Fourth, people-oriented development. Our development should not only pursue economic indicators, but also human indicators. This has three meanings: first, they must all be able to get by, have clothes to wear, have food to eat, and preferably have work. Second, while seeking economic development, we should improve the conditions of urban and rural residents, and third, we should rely on science education to train a new generation of qualified personnel.

Fifth, the three eastern provinces should develop together. Due to their unique advantages in resources, geography and location, the three eastern provinces are fully qualified to form an optimal combination in the future economic development of China by virtue of their abundant natural resources, excellent human resources and industrial resources accumulated in history. At the same time, through the innovation of mechanisms and systems, the most competitive economic region will be formed. ”

Xiao Chen agreed, and said: "I think the revitalization of the Northeast is very promising and completely achievable. I have come up with six hopes. One of the hopes: institutional reform. If we don't build a new mechanism, today's investment will be exchanged for tomorrow's burden. Paying the cost of reform is not just for the sake of 'relieving difficulties,' not for the sake of relieving the burden, nor can it be understood as an excuse to ask the state for money. After the Northeast pays the necessary reform costs, there must be corresponding reform results. The objectives of the reform that should be achieved are: to transform the status of workers and workers from 'enterprise people' to 'social people'; to basically form an effective social security system; to separate the social part of enterprises from running the society, so that enterprises can concentrate on production and operation; to straighten out the relationship between workers and enterprises, and to make it possible for enterprise assets to enter the reorganization procedure. In short, it is necessary to allow the flow of people and assets that are bound by the old system.

The reason why the degree of marketization is low is that the proportion of state-owned enterprises is too large, the degree of privatization is low, and it is difficult to develop the 'non-governmental power' of economic development. In order to change this situation, first, we should actively readjust the layout of the state-owned economy, implement the strategy of advancing and retreating in connection with the adjustment of the industrial structure, withdraw state-owned capital from the fields of general competition and small and medium-sized enterprises in a planned way, and optimize the structure of state-owned capital. Second, it is necessary to carry out a strategic reorganization of state-owned enterprises, break down the boundaries of regions, departments, and ownership, and practice strong alliances and complement each other's advantages. Third, it is necessary to deepen the reform of the system of state-owned enterprises, change the operating mechanism of enterprises, speed up the establishment of a modern enterprise system, improve the structure of corporate governance, deepen the internal reform of enterprises, establish an effective incentive and restraint mechanism, and earnestly improve the level of enterprise management. Fourth, we should take the opportunity of deepening the reform of the state-owned asset management system to conduct in-depth research, actively explore, and establish a new state-owned asset management system in accordance with the requirements of the state, so as to more effectively maintain and increase the value of state-owned assets. Fifth, vigorously develop the private economy, actively promote the transformation of the shareholding system, and earnestly optimize the ownership structure.

Instead of giving blood transfusions to state-owned enterprises that have not been restructured and maintaining the blood loss mechanism, it is better to restructure the system and generate a hematopoietic mechanism. In addition, it is necessary to implement the strategy of large-scale development and large-scale reform, and use large-scale development to promote large-scale reform. It is necessary to carry out restructuring and allow foreign capital and the private economy to enter, otherwise investment will be a bottomless pit. Therefore, the old industrial base in Northeast China must first be restructured to realize the free flow of property rights, manpower and other factors in the market, and then adjust and transform before it can finally be revitalized. ”

Since Xiao Chen began to make a concluding speech, it is difficult to say how much of these words are what he meant, and how much of them are what the Government Council and Premier Wen meant. Although Xiao Chen is a very assertive young official, after all, he is a cadre of the state, a cadre of the party, and when he speaks to the local government on behalf of the central government, he must follow the spirit of the central government.

Xiao Chen stretched out two fingers and said, "Hope No. 2: Industrial Structure Adjustment and Investment." I believe that it is necessary to promote the revitalization of old industrial bases, build a number of new large projects, and cultivate new growth points. Without an increase of a certain scale, it is often difficult to promote the restructuring and reorganization of the stock. New projects should not only become new economic growth points, but also growth points of new systems and mechanisms. The most important thing for a potential project is not to determine the project, but to have the market to decide. The crux of the matter is not the lack of funds, but who will invest and what kind of systems and mechanisms will be adopted to do so. We can't build new projects in the old way, otherwise we are likely to repeat the mistakes of the past and create some new burdens.

From the perspective of the law of industrial development, the economies of various countries are basically developing along the trajectory of 'agriculture-light textile industry-heavy industry-high-tech industry-service industry'. In this chain of industrial transfer, Huaxia is in the stage of 'light textile industry-heavy industry', and if there is no strong heavy industry as the backbone, the status of 'world factory' that Chinese people dream of will never be truly established. Therefore, the revitalization of Northeast China and the reconstruction of China's heavy industry base are inevitable requirements for China's economic development.

At the same time, I believe that the adjustment of the industrial structure is also the key to determining whether the old industrial base in Northeast China can be revitalized. However, in this round of industrial restructuring, we should not 'wear new shoes and follow the old road,' but should achieve four combinations: the integration of industrial capital with financial capital; the integration of industrial restructuring with the adjustment of employment structure and technological structure; the combination of industrial restructuring and ownership restructuring; The adjustment of the industrial structure should be combined with the adaptation of market demand and the law of technological and economic development.

'IX. During the Five-Year Plan period, the state invested 660 billion yuan in the large-scale development of the western region, and some people estimated that more than 1 trillion yuan of investment was needed to complete the transformation of the northeast. Let me tell you here that the state will have a certain amount of investment, but it will certainly not be so much. Moreover, the rejuvenation of the northeast is different from the large-scale development of the northwest, and the western region is still in the initial stage of economic development, and the northeast has already accumulated very good results, and it is necessary not only to rely on the state's blood transfusion, but also to enhance its own hematopoietic capacity. Hematopoiesis sounds difficult, but in fact, it is not difficult to say, there are many ways. For example, we should introduce more private capital and transnational capital, reduce the proportion of the state-owned economy, and push competitive industries to the market; For example, we should speed up the adjustment of the industrial structure, lengthen the industrial chain, and do a good job in industrial upgrading. Of course, industrial upgrading should undertake the industrial transfer of developed countries externally, and capital-intensive industries and labor-intensive industries should be well combined internally; In addition, improving the innovation mechanism, encouraging institutional innovation, enterprise system innovation, expanding opening up, and learning to better connect and cooperate with the world's industrial chain units are also the adjustment means needed by hematopoiesis. ”

When Xiao Chen said this, the natural writer Zhong and Hou Dong nodded "as usual".

Xiao Chen knew the doorway, but he didn't care, and continued: "Hope No. 3: Change your concept. The economic revitalization of Northeast China requires the central government to tilt its policies, but more importantly, the leaders and the people need to have an open market economy concept, and the situation of the small-scale peasant economy and the planned economy needs to be changed.

The governor has emphasized one point just now, and I will emphasize once again that the people of Northeast China should strengthen self-reflection. Reflection is a noble quality. You can recall that Wenzhou has faced up to fakes, Shantou has faced integrity, and has not damaged their image, properly facing shortcomings and having the courage to blame and improve, not only brave and atmospheric, but also self-confidence and wisdom. The Northeast can't really think that everyone has a certain level of cultivation and realm overnight because of a song "Northeast People Are Living Lei Feng", it's so easy, don't sit here and talk about it, just write songs. What I want to say is that even now, the comparative resource advantage of Northeast China is still in the forefront of the country. There is a foundation for revitalization, but revitalization is first and foremost the revitalization of people, concepts, thinking, and spirit.

There is an urgent need to change attitudes. Why is everyone willing to invest in the East and Wucheng? In the words of some entrepreneurs, it is that 'the rules of the game in this place are relatively normal, and there is no need for too much drinking and gift-giving'; this point, not only in Liao'an, I would like to ask the cadres in the whole northeast to keep in mind; in addition, there must be a financial center, Pengcheng in the Pearl River Delta, the East in the Yangtze River Delta, and the capital in the Bohai Rim, and the Northeast lacks such a financial center. Some people say that 'there are more workshop directors and fewer entrepreneurs in the Northeast' after doing business with enterprises in the Northeast, which I think is a bit mean, but it is also to the point. ”

When Xiao Chen said this, he was not afraid that the cadres in the Northeast would not be convinced by him, so what was there to be afraid of? Wucheng's ability to attract investment is strong, that is obvious to the whole country, last year Wucheng introduced foreign investment even higher than the East 8%, when the National Bureau of Statistics announced the results, who in the country is not shocked? That's the last word.

Xiao Chen didn't look at anything, but continued casually: "Hope No. 4: Strengthen coordination and change political functions. The transformation of political functions is a key part of the transformation and revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China, and if this problem is not solved, no matter how good the plan is, it is impossible to achieve good results. It is necessary to conscientiously solve the situation in which there is no separation between government and enterprises, that government directly intervenes too much and too deeply in economic affairs, and that public services are seriously insufficient, and that the focus of government and economic work should be shifted to creating a system, policy, and legal environment that is compatible with the market economy, so as to comprehensively improve the efficiency of government and government, and form conditions for the market mechanism to play a better role, so as to provide investors and entrepreneurs with stable expectations. The government should maintain a fair market competition environment and provide the greatest space for the development of enterprises that are in line with comparative advantages.

I know that before I became the director of the newly established Office for the Revitalization of Northeast China, the economic revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China needed not only financial and policy support, but also the establishment or introduction of relevant institutions and special policies was also an important suspense.

I, the director of the Northeast Revitalization Office, have only been in office for half a month, and half a month ago, there were widespread suspicions in the outside world about whether the Northeast would set up an organization similar to the Western Development Office. Previously, in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, some people proposed the possibility of setting up committees. The regional economic integration of the two regions is already on the agenda. For example, the financial integration of the Yangtze River Delta region and the positioning of cities in the Pearl River Delta. Since there is a western office for the development of the western region, correspondingly, the large-scale development of the northeast may require similar institutions. Some economists have also pointed out that there is a need for such institutions. Because it can play a variety of coordinating roles. Wei Lao, an expert from the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that it is necessary to set up a steering committee for the adjustment and transformation of old industrial bases. This kind of organization is similar to Germany's approach to the Ruhr region, the old industrial base, and Japan's economic revitalization of the Kyushu region. Mr. Wei suggested that the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and other relevant departments should jointly establish such a department. Premier Wen quickly held a meeting of the leadership of the Government Council, announced the establishment of the Office for the Revitalization of the Northeast, and selected me to be the director, I feel that the responsibility is on my shoulders, but I am full of confidence, and I hope to work with you to contribute to the revitalization of the Northeast again.

The second is a topic that local comrades are more concerned about, namely, whether or not development zones and special economic zones should be established. The development of Pengcheng, the development of Pudong, and the development of other coastal areas all have special economic zone conditions with special preferential policies. Is it necessary to set up a special zone for the transformation of the old industrial base in Northeast China? Some experts pointed out that preferential policies are needed, but if there are too many preferential policies in the establishment of special zones, it will run counter to the spirit of the World Trade Organization. In the past, Pengcheng developed with a special zone, but now it is facing the problem of positioning and a way out without preferential policies, and the key to the problem is the establishment of the spirit of openness and the market mechanism. Therefore, on the issue of the special zone, I can clearly tell you, at least for now, the central government has not considered it, but we can still fight for the development zone. ”

This is an important piece of information, as soon as Xiao Chen said it, several senior leading cadres in Liao'an immediately made eye contact with each other, and even the secretary of the Wenshi Middle School and Hou Dongxiang couldn't help but glance at each other, as if they exchanged opinions with their eyes. Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the power of national policies is really unmatched......

However, now is not the time to sigh, Xiao Chen appeared for the first time in the Northeast today as the director of the Northeast Revitalization Office and expressed his position, he must leave an honest and capable image in the hearts of the Northeast cadres. So, after just a short pause, he continued: "Hope No. 5: Human Resources Policy. I believe that the heavy tasks facing the Northeast should be viewed with dialectical thinking. Although taxation, GDP, investment promotion, upgrading the industrial structure, and informatization are all very important, they are all means, and our goal is to enrich the people, and to enrich the people is to make the people employable. The increase in tax revenue, employment may not necessarily increase, GDP growth is actually mainly due to scientific and technological factors play a decisive role, then employment may not increase, investment promotion emphasizes social stability, good order, so first of all, we must solve the problem of employment. Solving the problem of unemployment and semi-unemployment is a matter of recovery.

When a natural person is employed, he will also provide a job for others in society that is almost equal to his 'own value'. This is because the worker himself is both a producer and a consumer. The reason why the 'employment economy' is a good antidote to the current problems in Northeast China is that its employment starting cost is low, the masses benefit greatly, and it has a significant effect on alleviating social contradictions and stabilizing society. Here, I ask all levels of government to make full employment and re-employment the first priority. It is necessary to open the city gates, let the peasants enter the cities, and create 'primitive employment', and the government must create a good platform for employment and re-employment economy. The employment economy is a complete system project, and it is necessary to reformulate the evaluation system of political performance, which requires the joint efforts of all parties, supporting policies, organizational measures, fiscal policy inclination, renewal of employment concepts, extension and expansion of industrial structure, transformation of investment promotion strategies, and reformulation of political performance evaluation system. Only by first solving the problems of people's food and social stability, and then developing high-tech and new industries, can we have a steady road to revitalize the old industrial base in Northeast China. In addition, as mentioned by the governor just now, on the issue of qualified personnel, I fully agree with the governor's view that all departments at all levels must implement and introduce good policies as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Chen's words fully reflect the difference between Beijing officials and local officials. In particular, although he, a Beijing official, only "clarifies the deputy ministerial level and enjoys the treatment of the main minister", because he is the director of the Northeast Revitalization Office, in this passage, he continuously uses "I require all levels of government to be fǔ" and "all levels and departments must xxxx", and his strong style is obvious.

Wen Shizhong had a smile on his face, but his eyelids were drooping downward, and that look made people wonder if he had heard Xiao Chen's words just now, and Hou Dongxiang replied very seriously: "Under the guidance of the Northeast Office of the Government Affairs Yuan, the Liao'an Provincial Government will definitely list employment and re-employment as the first priority, and at the same time implement and introduce a good and effective talent policy as soon as possible." "Hou Dong's praise today can be regarded as firm.

Xiao Chen and Hou Dongxiang glanced at each other, although their expressions were the same, Hou Dongxiang could naturally feel the trace of gratitude in Xiao Chen's eyes, and his smile became more and more vigorous.

At this time, Xiao Chen said: "Hope No. 6: Take positive measures against food and other problems. There is no need to worry about this, the central government is now very concerned about the prices of agricultural products, the so-called lack of agriculture is unstable, the central government has been increasing its support for agriculture in recent years, and even ...... You may also hear some rumors that our agriculture may eventually be tax-exempt, and I can tell you that the prime minister has indeed considered this matter, but this matter is relatively large, and now the relevant departments, including our National Development and Reform Commission's Department of Agriculture, are making calculations in this regard...... I don't mean anything else when I say this, but I just want to tell the comrades in the northeast that a large agricultural province and a strong agricultural province may receive more and more attention from the central authorities in the future.

In conclusion, I would like to say that if we can take a series of effective measures, Northeast China will certainly become the 'fourth pole' of China's rapid economic development after the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Bohai Rim region." Thank you. ”

The meeting immediately burst into warm applause, including many journalists in front of them, who were also infected by Xiao Chen's honesty and self-confidence, and unconsciously applauded for him and for the Northeast.

The security measures of Liaodong Hotel are naturally more complete and strict, even Xiao Chen himself passed three tests before entering. However, not long after Xiao Chen came in, he suddenly moved in his heart and called Zhang Yi, planning to go out and take a look outside. As the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, although he is not directly in charge of material allocation, it is said that several things have been sold out in many places across the country recently, and the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Railways are also relatively nervous.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Chen suddenly changed from a man who looked mature and steady, and slightly couldn't tell his age, to a sunny young man in his twenties and eighties, and another young man who could faintly see his lean muscles even if he was wearing a thin coat, walked out of the Liaodong Hotel and got into a taxi at the door casually......
