Chapter 012 Secretaries Meeting

Secretary Xiao was dissatisfied with Suyu, until the convoy of the provincial party committee left Suyu, and Mayor Liu Minxin did not see the slightest clue. Judging from the observation in his eyes, he felt that Secretary Xiao was satisfied - Secretary Xiao had a serious face when he came and a smile when he left. But from the feeling of detachment in his heart, he felt that Secretary Xiao was probably dissatisfied with something, and even very dissatisfied with the issue - Liu Minxin couldn't find a clear reason to prove it, but officialdom is a human field, and the more thoughtful people are, the more they must sometimes guess based on feelings. And this Secretary Xiao, Liu Minxin thinks that he can't see through it, and if he can't see through it, he can only guess.

Liu Minxin is a little afraid of Xiao Chen, when Xiao Chen was the executive deputy mayor of Langliu, Liu Minxin was also the executive deputy mayor, and now Xiao Chen is already the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, so he Liu Minxin removed the subordinate. Of course, this is not the reason why Liu Minxin is afraid of Xiao Chen, if you want to say that you are afraid, it is mainly because of Xiao Chen's current authority, which is the "Jiangdong Official Hat Office"! Not to mention that he Liu Minxin is a prefecture-level mayor of an economically backward area, even if the secretaries of the municipal party committee see Secretary Xiao, they are also cautious, and pay attention to Secretary Xiao at any time to speak, even if he sits down in front of Secretary Xiao, that ass only dares to fall halfway.

In these days, people who have no money don't even seem to have as good a personality as rich people, and rich people have been in China for thousands of years, when can they compare to the powerful? Secretary Xiao is a powerful person, and he is a big powerful person, although Xiao Lao went a few days ago, but Premier Xiao is still there, those elders who have had a lifelong friendship with the Xiao family are still there, and the Xiao cadres in the Central Committee who are said to be as many as dozens of people are still there! That's his Secretary Xiao's confidence! That is the domineering that the prefects of he, Liu Minxin, etc., have to be convinced! Liu Minxin's old leader, the former deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Ma, said a sentence, he remembered very accurately: In Jiangdong, it will not be wrong to befriend the Xiao family, if you go to make friends, although it may not be able to promote you, but if you offend, the No. 1 chief will not be able to save you.

In Liu Minxin's view, now that you are an official in Huaxia, even if you subconsciously demand yourself, you may inevitably have some unclear accounts, if you offend the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and let him remember, then basically the days in the future, even if you can count it with your fingers.

After the old leader retired, Liu Minxin's life was a little difficult, the mayor is already in the second session, how will the next term be rounded, and whether he can take that small half a step, it is difficult to say. In the past, the old leaders were single-handedly promoted by General Secretary Jiang and transferred from the East, but now General Secretary Jiang has retired the last chairman of the Military Commission, although Chairman Gu has not made obvious substitutions, but at least those provincial and ministerial-level leaders who have arrived at the station at the age have been replaced by non-Oriental people. The provincial and ministerial-level leaders have changed, and naturally they will further replace the cadres at the municipal level, Liu Minxin feels that he is currently at a more dangerous juncture: at the age of fifty-one, 08 years is still more than two years away, when he is fifty-three or four years old, if he can't go further before then, then he can only take a back seat, go to the Municipal People's Congress, the CPPCC pension, this is not what he hopes.

Nowadays, there are no more than three schools that have the greatest influence on Jiangdong: the Hui faction headed by Secretary Li, the neutral faction led by Governor Zhou, and the Xiao faction headed by Xiao Chen. But at this level, the political bloc has long passed the stage of "either black or white", and the three factions themselves are intricately intertwined. Although Secretary Li himself is a hardcore Hui faction, he was born in an old Beijing faction family; Governor Zhou's so-called neutral faction actually has both people from the former Oriental faction and some side members of the old Beijing faction; And the Xiao faction itself has a bit of an outlier, they are originally from the same line as the Oriental faction, but they are the representative faction of the Lao Jing faction, and at the same time they are independent of the Oriental faction and the Lao Jing faction...... As soon as these three parties are entangled, outsiders simply look at huā in the fog, do not enter the core, and end up one layer apart.

Liu Minxin thinks that he is from the Oriental faction, and it may be useless to get close to Secretary Li, but on the side of Governor Zhou and Secretary Xiao, who is stronger and can better protect his own interests?

Mayor Suyu looked at the provincial party committee convoy that had long been unable to even see the tail lights, and fell into deep thought-

The chandelier on the roof of the meeting room of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee brightly illuminates all the corners of the room, in front of a wall due south, two flagpoles stand in the east and one in the west, respectively hung with bright red national flags and party flags, and on the wall due north hangs a huge mirror frame with a banner of Máo Zedong's handwritten "Serve the People", and the room is full of solemnity and solemnity.

In front of the oval-shaped conference table, there are a few people sitting sparsely, they are Li Yuanzhuo, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhou Zhengjiang, Governor, Xiao Chen, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Yang Yaomin, Minister of Organization.

At this time, a meeting of secretaries was being held, and the topic was to coordinate the cadre candidates who were about to be submitted to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee for discussion and decision.

The secretary's meeting is actually a very delicate circle, and the secretary, the deputy secretary, and the leaders in charge of the work items to be discussed and studied can basically determine a general tone of the matters to be discussed and studied by the Standing Committee. And this kind of meeting is precisely the meeting in which the organization minister participates in the most sensitive.

Without him, because a meeting with the participation of the organization minister often means studying the personnel issue, which is an overriding issue at any place and at any time.

Today's meeting of the secretary will be attended by the head of the organization, so it must be important. And given that this meeting is the first time that Xiao Chen, the deputy secretary, has attended the meeting since taking office, the importance is even more three-point.

How the personnel decision-making power of Jiangdong Province will develop has become a matter of great concern to the central government and Jiangdong, and the situation is delicate. The secretary of the provincial party committee is the general secretary's favorite general, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee has a very strong background in Jiangdong and has the support of the organization minister, although the composition of the provincial governor is mixed, but the number of people in various localities is quite large, so the results of this meeting will be of great "reference" significance for the future personnel trend in Jiangdong.

To understand the mysteries here, we must first look at the procedures for the selection and appointment of cadres. According to the "Regulations on the Selection and Appointment of Party and Government Cadres," cadre work generally has to go through steps such as democratic recommendation (including recommendation by voting at meetings and recommendation by individual conversation), inspection, deliberation, discussion and decision, and appointment of cadres.

Generally speaking, when there are or will be vacancies in the number of leading cadres in a unit, several or even a dozen or even a dozen candidates who meet or basically meet the qualifications for the post, and those in their own units (the provincial party committee and provincial government departments are also counted as units) and those in other units will begin to leap forward and make stupid moves. The qualifications mentioned here are mainly hard bars such as age, service time, and education level. Others, such as personal work performance, social evaluation, etc., are basically not very useful in this step, to be honest.

Competitors start "activities" according to the "foreshadowing" they usually do, which is what people usually call "running for office". Since it is impossible for a "running official" to be airtight, the names of several leading cadres in society who may compete for a certain post have long become well-known news figures in cadre circles and talked about in the streets.

In fact, at this time, there is still a considerable distance from the formal determination of the candidate in the organization. So, what are the competitors up to? Everyone in the circle knows this. Generally, it is to open the joints and get the nomination of the secretary, the "number one", at the "secretary meeting", also known as the "secretary's office meeting", and the nomination of the secretary, generally speaking, will eventually evolve into the nomination of the organization.

In fact, at the city and county level, the secretary's ** often appears at such a time. This is because in the general situation or in the vast majority of cases, although there is still a distance from the final decision of the Standing Committee meeting, the slips and even the votes in the secretary's hands are increasing rapidly with the increase of time, and sometimes it can be clearly seen that the secretary is deliberately delaying time, so that the greater relationship and more money will be revealed, so that when the "water comes out," there will be an explanation for the top, the bottom, the left, and the right.

In fact, the secretary at this time is also the most difficult. He has to repeatedly balance all aspects of the relationship, he has to try to find the position he "wants" for the person who has paid the greatest price, and he has to tolerate it by the procedures set out in the Regulations. In other words, you can't have any political or economic risks. Sometimes, as a leader, there are times when he is helpless, that is, the position he values most is favored by a certain leader of the superior, and this competitor is not the most suitable, and the person he likes cannot be pushed to the ideal position. If other members of the team, such as the second-in-command, deputy secretaries, and members of the Standing Committee, want to find the ideal position for the person they like, the only effective way is to lobby the secretary or the deputy secretary or head of the organization in charge of the organization before the "meeting of secretaries." Sometimes, in order to save face, the secretary will symbolically give up a few seats to the deputy position, in order to find a few tacit understandings for the "plate" he is about to serve. Of course, at the level of the provincial party secretary, it is different, and at the same time, it is more complex and sensitive.

Some of the secretaries at the city and county levels are masters, and whoever he wants to go to the top will delineate a scope and let the deputy secretary and organization minister in charge of the organization guess it. Since the secretary gave the deputy face to some extent, in return, the deputy secretary and others at the "secretary meeting" generally no longer embarrassed the secretary. So, after the secretary weighed the plate repeatedly, it finally passed the "secretary meeting". Since it is impossible for the masses to participate in the "meeting of secretaries" that are in the gestation stage, "nomination" has become a "dark box" in the work of selecting and promoting cadres, the most criticized by the masses, and the "soft underbelly" of the work of selecting and appointing cadres.

The above is the adjustment of posts between the levels. If you want to be promoted, then there is a question of democratic recommendation and inspection. Since the results of democratic recommendations and inspections are not required to be announced on the spot, and the Regulations do not make hard and fast provisions on whether or not to set up a "secret vote-writing room" for democratic recommendations, this leaves enough "room for the sellers of official positions": democratic recommenders can be designed into a compact and narrow place where they can peep into each other, so that those with different opinions do not have room to fully express their personal opinions; Use suggestive language to guide the masses to think, speak, and vote for the "predetermined candidates"; denying dissidents the right to participate in individual conversations; Even the results of the examination that are unfavorable to the candidates will not be submitted to the relevant meeting ....... In this way, even if someone is more serious or a superior comes to investigate, there will be absolutely no problems in terms of procedures. As a result, those who bought and sold official positions successfully bypassed the "Regulations."

Of course, at the level of the provincial party committee, the situation is different. At the provincial level, they are already feudal officials, and the central government generally does not make ordinary personnel arrangements for their subordinates, but if important arrangements are involved, they must also be reported to the Central Organization Department for approval. Above the Central Organization Department, some posts will even pull the strings of the central authorities, so it is all the more necessary to handle them carefully, and the difficulty of this is much higher than that at the city and county levels.

Not surprisingly, today's meeting will be a little weird.

Just now, when discussing Yu Zhengqing's appointment, Zhou Zhengjiang and Yang Yaomin quarreled, and Zhou Zhengjiang even slapped the table with Yang Yaomin. At this point, the quarrel stopped, and the room immediately appeared silent and empty. Zhou Zhengjiang was really angry, he was wearing a white sè short-sleeved shirt, under the blowing of the air conditioner, he still felt a little hot, he waved his hand at the secretary of the Standing Committee, wanting the secretary to turn down the temperature of the air conditioner, and when the secretary came to him, he waved his hand again, let the secretary return to his seat, and unbuttoned the two buttons on the collar with his hands.

Secretary Li Yuanzhuo, who was a few years younger than Zhou Zhengjiang, pondered, and the two hands on the conference table interlocked their fingers and gently swayed up and down, which was his habitual action when thinking about problems. As a partner who has worked with Zhou Zhengjiang for three or four years, Li Yuanzhuo understands Zhou Zhengjiang's temper, but for the secretary's appointment, Zhou Zhengjiang actually slapped the table with Yang Yaomin, which is still surprising.

Now, Yang Yaomin insisted on the opinion of the organization department, and Zhou Zhengjiang hoped to adjust the opinion, and the two of them were deadlocked. The matter is clear, everyone is waiting for the opinions of Deputy Secretary Xiao Chen, who is in charge of party affairs, and Li Yuanzhuo, who is the leader of the provincial party committee.

Li Yuanzhuo knew that the meeting of secretaries could not replace the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and that the opinions coordinated at the meeting could not represent the views of the Provincial Party Committee, and that in the end it would have to be voted on by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. But in Jiangdong, there is only one deputy party secretary, and the secretary's meeting is still retained, and the situation at this time is a little delicate.

Although the meeting of secretaries is a coordination mechanism, the opinions formed at the meeting will be influenced by the Standing Committee, because the four people who have decisive opinions on personnel rights have all arrived, and the secretary general of the provincial party committee, as a member of the Standing Committee, only attended the meeting as an observer, and did not even sit too close, which is enough to explain the problem. Therefore, Li Yuanzhuo attaches great importance to the coordination of the secretary's meeting. Of course, Zhou Zhengjiang also slapped the table with Yang Yaomin because he attached importance to the coordination of the secretary's meeting.

Yang Yaomin is really "not the best"! Speaking of which, Zhou Zhengjiang is not only the governor of the provincial government, but also the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and should be regarded as the leader of Yang Yaomin, a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee, but he is very resolute in defending the opinions of the organization department and the ministerial committee, of course, Yang Yaomin's actual direct leadership is Xiao Chen, the deputy secretary in charge of party affairs.

After listening to Yang Yaomin's report to the secretary and deputy secretary on the appointment of relevant personnel, Zhou Zhengjiang immediately expressed his position and suggested that Yu Zhengqing be appointed deputy secretary of the Pengcheng City Party Committee. Yang Yaomin said: Considering that Yu Zhengqing is currently a deputy department-level secretary and has not worked in a party and government organ at the city or prefectural level, and according to the rumors released by the Central Committee and the Central Organization Department, the party committee will have to "reduce the number of deputies" next year, and it will be difficult for Yu Zhengqing to make arrangements at that time, so it is better to serve as vice mayor first.

Zhou Zhengjiang used the grounds that Yu Zhengqing was a top student of Xinhua University, had served as a leader of a state-owned enterprise, and still had leadership experience, indicating that Yu Zhengqing could take on the heavy burden of deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. The two of you come and go, Yang Yaomin's temper came up, and he said to Zhou Zhengjiang very seriously: "Comrade Zhengjiang, when we use cadres, we must consider it in many ways, we can't be rash, love the house and Wu!" When Zhou Zhengjiang heard Yang Yaomin's words, he slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Comrade Yang Yaomin, it is right to pay attention to principles in organizational work, but you can't be rigid in your thinking and be self-contained!" In this case, some Maxima will be buried! It is true that Yu Zhengqing is my secretary, but this is a young man with a work level and ability, and I am a virtuous person who does not shy away from relatives! As he spoke, he looked around, swept his eyes over the faces of each of the participants, and asked rhetorically: "Comrades, since I became the deputy provincial leader, the comrade who served as my secretary was the third in Yu Zhengqing, have I fought for them like today?" After speaking, he sat down angrily, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Xiao Chen's face, who was expressionless.

Li Yuanzhuo knows that Zhou Zhengjiang is a little domineering, but he still understands the principle of employing people, and he fights for Yu Zhengqing like this, probably mainly because he admires Yu Zhengqing. As the secretary of the provincial party committee, Li Yuanzhuo respects Yang Yaomin's principled nature and also likes Zhou Zhengjiang's momentum; the former is the head of the organization department, which is the minimum quality, and the latter is the highest administrative head of the province, so as to open up the work situation. The problem is that the two of them have shown their principles and momentum today, but they have not been able to harmonize the agenda of the secretary's meeting. Li Yuanzhuo set his eyes on Xiao Chen, the deputy secretary in charge of the work of the party and the masses, and he wanted to hear the opinions of the leader in charge.

Besides, although Xiao Chen only came back from Suyu today, and the Party Affairs Work Conference of the Organization Department was held yesterday, as Yang Yaomin's direct leader and Yang Yaomin's biggest "backer" in Jiangdong's organizational work, Li Yuanzhuo did not believe that Yang Yaomin would not have obtained Xiao Chen's prior consent regarding the position of deputy secretary or deputy mayor of Jiangbei's most important municipal party committee.

Seeing Secretary Li looking at him, Xiao Chen knew that he had to express his position now. He knew all about the cadre arrangements brought up by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee today, and Yang Yaomin reported to him. Since Yang Yaomin brought the arrangement opinions to the secretary's meeting, it shows that he, the leader in charge, agrees with these arrangements. What I didn't expect was that Zhou Zhengjiang reacted so strongly. Xiao Chen looked at the meaning in Li Yuanzhuo's eyes, and knew that Secretary Li wanted to express his opinion and leave some room for the secretary of the provincial party committee to make a final statement.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Xiao Chen said calmly: "The opinions of the Organization Department were reported to me before the meeting, and I agreed, but after listening to Comrade Zhengjiang's opinions just now, I have a little new idea. Since Yu Zhengqing's opinions on the arrangements cannot be unified at today's meeting of secretaries, it is better to submit them to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and pool everyone's wisdom to discuss and make a decision...... This is also in line with the principle of strengthening the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, and to put an end to certain malpractices in which a small number of secretaries meet to decide on the affairs of the majority. ”

Li Yuanzhuo glanced at Xiao Chen, slightly surprised, in his opinion, Xiao Chen could support Yang Yaomin's opinion just now, because if the deputy secretary and the organization minister both think that Yu Zhengqing is not suitable for the deputy secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee, then Zhou Zhengjiang basically has no way to hold on, unless Secretary Li Yuanzhuo gives up the detachment of the secretary of the provincial party committee, directly expresses his support for Zhou Zhengjiang's opinion, and vetoes the opinions of the organization department and the deputy secretary of the party and the masses with the authority of the secretary. But Li Yuanzhuo didn't think about whether he should do this, because Yu Zhengqing's appointment as deputy secretary or deputy mayor had nothing to do with him directly, and he personally went to meet Xiao Chen and Yang Yaomin in a short fight, which was a relatively unstrategic approach, and in this way, the room for buffering in the future was very small, and the gains outweighed the losses.

However, Xiao Chen actually flinched? It is very debatable that he did not have the strength to give Yang Yaomin's opinion, but proposed to submit the issue to the Standing Committee. Secretary Li Yuanzhuo had to make a quick judgment: Xiao Chen felt that he shouldn't make too many enemies at this time because of Xiao Lao's death, or did he have any other plans?

Both of these possibilities are there, Xiao Lao's death is still a big blow to the Xiao family, without this last optimus pillar in China, the Xiao family's deterrent power to other factions is suddenly less than half, Xiao Chen chose to be cautious at this time, which is not incomprehensible.

But at the same time, Secretary Li Yuanzhuo also believes that it is necessary to analyze Xiao Chen's character, Xiao Chen is by no means a timid leader, and it may be due to his youth, some of the decisions he made in the past, from the perspective of senior leaders, many are quite "rushing". So the topic turned back, Xiao Chen could "rush" like that at the beginning, it may be that Xiao Lao was behind his back so that no one dared to make a black hand against Xiao Chen, and now that Xiao Lao is gone, does Xiao Chen still dare to "rush" like this?

Secretary Li's mind was like lightning, and he thought about it for a long time, but in fact, it was only a few seconds, and finally said: "I think that Comrade Xiao Chen's opinion is very pertinent, and it is a good way to hand over this issue to the Standing Committee to study and decide, which is not only responsible for the party's cause, but also responsible for the cadres themselves!" ”

Zhou Zhengjiang was very dissatisfied with Li Yuanzhuo's opinion, thinking that he did not support his opinion. In Zhou Zhengjiang's view, Xiao Chen's "show of weakness" just now is obviously because of Xiao Lao's death, although Xiao Lao's historical status has been clearly affirmed, but at this moment, Xiao must ensure that Jiangdong, one of the important provinces of Xiao Dynasty's base camp, does not have major movements. In other words, Xiao has to choose everything on the premise of stability now, and now that he strongly insists on Yu Zhengqing's appointment, Xiao Chen deliberately let Yang Yaomin come out to slap his swollen face and become fat, but he looks like a prince who has no quarrel with the world, which is a manifestation of his weakness. At this time, as long as Secretary Li Yuanzhuo stands up to support him Governor Zhou, then this time he can suppress the Xiao Department at the secretary meeting, which can also reassure the cadres below, so that they can see the weakening of the Xiao Department's strength, so Secretary Li supported him Governor Zhou today, and the next time Secretary Li proposed a personnel change case, he Governor Zhou will naturally return the favor, this is a win-win situation, and the only one who loses money in the end is Xiao Chen, why does Secretary Li seem to not see it?

At this time, Xiao Chen suddenly said: "Secretary, I still have a matter here, which belongs to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but I think it is necessary to talk to the comrades today." ”

Li Yuanzhuo and Zhou Zhengjiang immediately focused their eyes, Li Yuanzhuo nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, what's the matter, everyone should refer to it in detail, this matter of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but it is a big matter, Xiao Lao said in 1980 that 'the issue of the ruling party's party style is a matter of life and death for the party', and we must not ignore this." ”

Xiao Chen saw that Secretary Li specifically mentioned Xiao Lao, and also smiled slightly: "I have a draft of the Commission for Discipline Inspection on learning the spirit of Zhanggang. ”

Secretary Li Yuanzhuo sighed, slightly suspicious, at this time, Xiao Chen suddenly mentioned the spirit of Zhanggang, did he mean anything else? Zhou Zhengjiang also hesitated slightly, and looked at Xiao Chen's expression carefully.

But Xiao Chen just smiled very normally, and there was nothing abnormal at all, just smiled and handed the thin documents in his hand to Li Yuanzhuo and Zhou Zhengjiang respectively.

The Zhanggang spirit of "uniting and working hard, forging ahead with heavy burdens, putting pressure on oneself, and daring to be the first" is a spirit of the times cultivated and shaped by the people of Zhanggang who dare to be the first in the great practice of reform, opening up, and modernization. Since the formation of this spirit in the early 90s of the 20th century, it has not only opened a magnificent and colorful new page in the history of Zhanggang City, making Zhanggang City an advanced model of the country in one fell swoop, but also has had a positive and far-reaching impact on the sustainable economic and social development of the entire Wucheng, Jiangdong and even the whole country. On May 13, 1995, Jiang Enguo, then general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, inspected Zhanggang and wrote an inscription for the spirit of Zhanggang. Over the past 10 years, under the encouragement of the spirit of Zhanggang, Zhanggang people have emancipated their minds, seized opportunities, pioneered and innovated, and worked hard, creating brilliant achievements in the construction of three civilizations and the coordinated development of economy and society. In 2005, Zhanggang City won the crown of the National Civilized City in one fell swoop, becoming the only county (city) in the country to receive this honor, and at the same time, it took the lead in building a well-off society in an all-round way with the fourth place in the top 100 counties (cities) in terms of comprehensive economic strength in the country. Through the vigorous promotion and practice of the previous municipal leadership groups and the city's cadres and masses, the spirit of Zhanggang has become a strong spiritual pillar and internal driving force for the city's economic and social development, and has become a valuable "city soul" to promote the vigorous development of various undertakings.

The spirit of Zhanggang originated from the "Yang She Spirit", germinated and started in the 80s of the 20th century, formed and carried forward in the 90s, deepened and brightened in the new century.

The predecessor of Zhanggang City was Shazhou County, which was established in 1962, with a weak foundation and a relatively poor economic foundation. In 1978, the area of Yangshe Town, where the county party committee and county government were located, was less than one square kilometer, with dilapidated houses, dirty environment, and an industrial output value of less than 5 million yuan, ranking first among the six counties of Chengguan Town in the original Wucheng area. In order to quickly change the backward appearance, Qin Zhenhua, secretary of the party committee of Yangshe Town at that time, and a group of people from the town party committee led the party members, cadres and the masses of the town to work tenaciously and work hard, and grasp the two civilizations together. In just a few years, Yangshe Town has undergone great changes and has become the "star of townships" in the country. In the process of starting a business, the work standards and work style of "serving as an official, benefiting one party, taking into account the overall situation, being willing to contribute, upholding the right and dispelling evil, daring to encounter difficulties, being vigorous and resolute, down-to-earth, being strict with oneself, leading by example, putting pressure on oneself, and never satisfied" is known as the "Yang She Spirit", which is the prototype of the Zhanggang Spirit.

At the beginning of 1992, Zheng Nan's important speech on inspecting the south was published, and at this critical moment of historical development, the group of people of the Zhanggang Municipal Party Committee realized that the economy should take off, and the thinking should go first, and only by arming the party members, cadres and the masses of the city with a strong spiritual power can we emancipate the mind, invigorate the spirit, inspire morale, develop rapidly, and create a great cause. Therefore, on the basis of the "Yang She spirit", it was further summarized, refined and sublimated, and the 16-character Zhanggang spirit of "unity and hard work, hard work, self-pressure, and daring to be the first" was formed. Once the spirit of Zhanggang is born, it has become the soul and source of strength for Zhanggang people to run towards a well-off and modern development.

The spirit of Zhanggang is the product of the successful practice of Zheng Nanxun's construction of the great theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the vivid embodiment of the great entrepreneurial spirit in the new era advocated by Comrade Jiang Enguo in Zhanggang, and the spiritual wealth created by the people of Zhanggang. The Zhanggang spirit of "16 characters" is popular, concise, and rich in connotation. Unity and hard work, that is, unity, concerted efforts, hard work, and a great cause; Bear the burden and forge ahead, that is, shoulder the heavy responsibility, face the difficulties, bravely shoulder the heavy burden, and move forward bravely; Self-pressure, that is, self-reliance and self-improvement, self-pressure, leaving no way back; Dare to be the first, that is, think long-term, never satisfied, dare to dare to take risks, dare to fight for the first. Among them, unity and hard work is the foundation, hard work is the requirement, self-pressure is the driving force, and the courage to be the first is the goal. It is precisely under the encouragement of the spirit of Zhanggang that the people of Zhanggang seize the opportunity and work hard to achieve the great changes and development of Zhanggang.

With the development of the times, with a global vision and an open mind, Zhanggang people have continuously enriched the spirit of Zhanggang in practice, injected new connotations of the times, and concentrated on "striving for the first, innovation, pragmatism, and enriching the people", so that it has maintained its vigorous vitality, realized internal cohesion, expanded its attractiveness, improved centripetal force, and developed productive forces. "Striving for the first" is to seize opportunities and create great causes with a strong enterprising spirit and sense of competition; "Innovation" is to break through the traditional concept and development model, and develop the vitality of the system and mechanism; "Pragmatism" means to act according to objective laws and seek tangible results; "Enriching the people" means taking the improvement of the people's living standards as the starting point and the end result of our work.

In the new century, the people of Zhanggang have organically combined the promotion of the spirit of Zhanggang with the implementation of the scientific concept of development, constantly enriched its content, expanded its connotation, improved its realm, seized the opportunity of scientific development with the consciousness of reactive work, improved the overall development orientation with the pursuit of transcendence, and created a coordinated development atmosphere with the mechanism of encouraging competition, which promoted the great progress and improvement of Zhanggang.

On May 12, 2005, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Comrade Jiang Enguo's inscription for the spirit of Zhanggang, Zhanggang City held a symposium on "carrying forward the spirit of Zhanggang and creating the glory of Zhanggang". The meeting made a comprehensive summary of the rich connotation and role of the Zhanggang spirit that has been developed in the past 10 years, and gave the Zhanggang spirit a new connotation from the height of combining major theories with the practice of the times, thus forming a consensus in the whole city that "the Zhanggang spirit is a vivid example of Jiangdong's spirit of entrepreneurship, innovation and excellence".

The spirit of Zhanggang is an entrepreneurial spirit of hard work. This is to shoulder the heavy responsibility of history, perseverance, self-improvement and self-reliance, work hard, and create a great cause. When the macro environment is relaxed, seize the opportunity and take advantage of the situation; When the macro environment is tight, create opportunities and face difficulties. Always insist on development and do not relax, so that every second must race to "grab", do everything possible to "fight", and have the courage and insight to "fight". It is this kind of entrepreneurial spirit of hard work that enables Zhanggang City to not only promote the entrepreneurship of cadres and capable people, but also vigorously promote the entrepreneurship of the whole people and independent entrepreneurship, forming a gratifying situation of making concerted efforts to build a modern Xingang City.

The spirit of Zhanggang is a scientific and pragmatic spirit of innovation. This is to emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, forge ahead, and have the courage to explore with a world vision and modern consciousness. In order for a region to achieve rapid and good development, it must not only have the desire to start a business, but also have a scientific and rigorous attitude; It is necessary not only to have a policy decision that conforms to reality, but also to have a realistic and pragmatic style. It is precisely this scientific and pragmatic spirit of innovation that has enabled Zhanggang City to form a vivid scene of studying new situations with new concepts, implementing new tasks with new ideas, solving new problems with new methods, and creating a new situation with new measures.

The spirit of Zhanggang is a spirit of daring to strive for first-class. This is the courage to self-pressurize, aim at the advanced, strive for the top, never be complacent, and bravely climb new heights. The people of Zhanggang are striving to be the first to be the first to strive for the quality of development, for the benefits of the masses, for the ambition of the nation, and for the superiority of socialism. It is this innovative spirit of daring to strive for the first-class, so that Zhanggang City has always maintained the momentum of "striving for the first-class in all kinds of work", and truly achieved courage and knowledge, fearlessness, daring to try, and constantly creating a new realm of career development.

……

In the eyes of ordinary people, these words are very ordinary and formulaic. But when Secretary Li Yuanzhuo and Governor Zhou Zhengjiang saw this, their hearts suddenly moved: Zhanggang, isn't it a county-level city under the rule of Wu Cheng? Aren't the secretary of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee and the mayor all "Xiao Chen's people"?
