Chapter 075 Alternate Politburo

After the two sessions in Jiangdong are over, the two sessions will be held immediately after the New Year.

Xiao Chen naturally had no chance to reunite with his family in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, and after receiving a top-secret phone call from his uncle, Xiao Chen didn't even let Ye Yiling come to Jinning to accompany him. It was not until two or three days before the convening of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress that he flew to the capital on a special plane provided by the military.

Uncle Xiao Zheng's phone call said a very unexpected situation, in a meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee after the current National Party Congress, General Secretary Gu Banglan mentioned: Jiangdong's development direction is correct, and its many explorations of the scientific development model are of very good significance to the whole country.

At that time, Xiao Zheng didn't know exactly what the general secretary meant by mentioning this sentence, and for the reason of avoiding suspicion, he just politely expressed his approval. Unexpectedly, the prime minister immediately took over the conversation, highly praised Jiangdong, and even praised Xiao Chen, secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee, by name for "being fair and honest, caring about people's livelihood, thinking active and cautious, and having a strong sense of the overall situation".

This made Xiao Zheng a little surprised, the prime minister has always admired Xiao Chen, Xiao Zheng knew this, when Xiao Zheng was still the vice premier, the prime minister often mentioned some of Xiao Chen's views and expressed his appreciation. However, in Xiao Zheng's opinion, during the period when the old Beijing faction was suppressed by the Shanghai faction, the Xiao family did not stand up to help, and it is said that the prime minister should be a little unhappy, but now it seems that the prime minister really didn't take that matter to heart.

Of course, to be honest, the positioning of the Xiao faction is indeed quite peculiar, because Xiao Lao is really the patriarch of the elders, and the political resources are too rich, and the Xiao faction has intersections with the Lao Jing faction and the Shanghai faction, and they are not one. It's okay when the two factions don't have a head-to-head confrontation, and they can often act as a buffer and make peace, but once the two sides collide, Xiao is a little dilemma.

Next, it is even more interesting, Politburo Standing Committee, Vice Premier Xu Anqiu expressed his opinion, that Jiangdong's GDP this year is obviously going to return to the second place in the country, especially Jiangdong in the past two years under the economic crisis against the current, as an export-oriented economic province, but showing great vitality, Jiangdong Province's political status should be further strengthened. As everyone knows, the international economic crisis is the best test of the leadership ability of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, but the Jiangdong provincial party committee and the provincial government have handed over an answer sheet that satisfies the central government and all the people of Jiangdong, so he suggested: The secretary of the Jiangdong provincial party committee can consider adding to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.

Hsiao was an extremely cautious man — probably related to his perennial financial leadership work, which he inherited from Mr. Hsiao—so he did not comment on this, but cautiously stated that the proposal to strengthen Jiangdong's political position was to be considered.

General Secretary Gu Banglan said meaningfully: "Then, let's look at it for a while, and when the whole party congress is held in 10 years, let's take a look again, this is also a sign of the prudence of the central government." ”

All members of the Standing Committee agreed to this, and the meeting ended here.

Xiao Zheng didn't tell Xiao Chen directly about the content of this meeting, but just said, "The central government is paying close attention to you, and you should think twice about your words and deeds." ”

In Xiao Chen's view, there are only two possibilities: one is that he Xiao Chen is a ** molecule, and he has been caught, and the central government is paying close attention and prudently estimating when to make a move; Another possibility is his Xiao Chen's performance, the central government is very optimistic and is making a final observation.

Xiao Chen asked himself if he was not a ** element, especially in terms of using power to scheming, which the central government is most concerned about at present, he has no problem at all, let alone any economic problems, the first one may not be established, then there is only the second possibility, the central government is optimistic about him and wants to continue to reuse it.

At this level, at this time, if Xiao Chen is still like back then, hiding his edge, or even hiding his head and horns, then he will be inferior, why? Because there is no cadre who can reach the provincial and ministerial level who will not rein in his edge! At this time, the central government will test you not whether you will be an official, but whether you have real talent and learning, and whether you have enough leadership skills!

After careful consideration, Xiao Chen, secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee, accepted an exclusive interview with Wu Xiaoli, a famous host of Phoenix Satellite TV, in Beijing on the afternoon of the 9th, and answered questions on Jiangdong's response to the international financial crisis and "happy Jiangdong".

In response to the question of "how Jiangdong copes with the financial crisis and maintains rapid economic growth," Xiao Chen said: "The impact of the international financial crisis is global, and it is difficult for any country or region to be immune to it, and Jiangdong has also been greatly affected, but the economy has maintained steady and rapid development on the whole, and the fundamentals of economic development have not changed, which is mainly due to the persistence in accelerating the transformation of the development mode, intensifying economic restructuring, and vigorously promoting independent innovation." After years of efforts, the industrial structure, ownership structure, industrial layout adjustment and independent innovation have achieved remarkable results, the competitiveness and anti-risk ability of enterprises have been enhanced, and a situation has been formed in which the three major needs of consumption, investment and export are synergistically driving economic growth.

Xiao Chen said, for example, recently in order to help enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, tide over the difficulties, the provincial finance has allocated 4 billion yuan to support the development of enterprises, of which 2 billion yuan is used for credit guarantees and interest discounts to help enterprises solve the problem of financing difficulties, and 2 billion yuan is used to support the technological transformation and structural adjustment of enterprises; Abolish or stop the collection of 123 administrative fees and government funds to reduce the burden on enterprises and increase services; Guide and support enterprises to adjust their structure and practice their internal skills.

When Wu Xiaoli asked about the prevention and control of water pollution in Taihu Lake, Xiao Chen said that we regard the water environment management of Taihu Lake as the top priority in the construction of ecological civilization, ensure the safety of drinking water for residents, implement the emergency response mechanism for ecological and environmental emergencies, and fully implement the overall plan for the comprehensive treatment of water environment in the Taihu Lake Basin. After hard work, the water quality of Taihu Lake is generally better than that of the previous year. However, we are also soberly aware that the water environment situation of Taihu Lake is still grim, and the treatment of the problem of eutrophication accumulated over the years requires long-term and arduous efforts. In the next step, we will continue to implement scientific governance, iron-fisted pollution control, and law-based governance, and unremittingly do a good job in the comprehensive management of Taihu Lake, so that Taihu Lake, the pearl of the south of the Yangtze River, can regain its beautiful scenery as soon as possible.

In response to a question on the economic integration of the Yangtze River Delta, Xiao Chen said that the central government attaches great importance to the development of the Yangtze River Delta region, and in September last year, the Government Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform and Opening-up and Economic and Social Development of the Yangtze River Delta Region." The two provinces and one municipality have established a high-level consultation and exchange mechanism, reached a high degree of consensus, and made new progress in three aspects in recent years: First, to promote infrastructure integration at a higher level, since last year, Shanghai-Nanjing, Nanjing-Hangzhou, Shanghai-Hangzhou three intercity railways have started construction, creating conditions for building a Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou "one-hour metropolitan area". The second is to further improve the cooperation mechanism at all levels. The third is to carry out research on a series of major regional policies such as scientific and technological innovation and breaking down market barriers. The next step is to increase efforts in the rational division of labor in the industry, institutional and mechanism innovation, independent innovation and cooperation, give full play to the "same city effect" of Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou "one-hour metropolitan area", and amplify the superposition effect of "Golden Waterway" and "Gold Coast".

In addition, Xiao Chen also answered questions from Wu Xiaoli and netizens on issues such as reasonably determining the expected economic growth target for this year, the current situation of production and operation of domestic and foreign-funded enterprises in Jiangdong, the economic transformation and upgrading of southern Jiangsu and the development of northern Jiangsu, promoting the experience of Wucheng Industrial Park, giving full play to Jiangdong's advantages in humanities, science and education, providing counterpart support for the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction of Xichuan, and attaching great importance to public opinion and online anti-corruption.

Wu Xiaoli asked: "Secretary Xiao, you said, 'This year, adhere to the protection and improvement of people's livelihood as the starting point and foothold of political work', some netizens asked, affected by the international financial crisis, Jiangdong's economic development will be affected by a certain impact this year, will this have an impact on improving people's livelihood?" ”

Xiao Chen replied: "In 2008, Jiangdong's GDP exceeded 3.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 12.5% over the previous year. In 2008, the GDP growth rate was 9% for the whole country and 12.5% for Jiangdong, and 2.4% for the whole country and 2.3% for Jiangdong. Why is Jiangdong's economic growth rate higher than that of the whole country and the decline of the whole country lower than that of the whole country?

In the face of the impact of the international financial crisis, we have thoroughly implemented the Scientific Outlook on Development, and in accordance with the central government's decision-making arrangements, we have issued more than 10 policy documents, such as expanding domestic demand, increasing fiscal, tax and financial support, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, and promoting the stable and healthy development of foreign trade and economic cooperation and the real estate market, and are formulating 12 industrial adjustment and revitalization plans. Jiangdong's economy is highly export-oriented and vulnerable to the impact of the international financial crisis, and in fact, the contribution rate of Jiangdong's net exports to Jiangdong's GDP also decreased slightly last year. However, we have persisted in combining the expansion of domestic demand with the stabilization of external demand to promote steady and relatively rapid economic development.

There are many economic growth points in Jiangdong. Not long ago, I went to central and northern Jiangsu for research, Jinghai is firmly grasping the Yangtze River Delta regional economic integration process to accelerate the process of coastal development and the coastal development of our province to rise to the national strategy of the major opportunity, vigorously promote a new round of coastal development; Guangling has formed a foundation and characteristics in new light sources and other industries, and is working towards the goal of leading technology in the country and reaching a certain share of output. The north-south linkage and industrial transfer strategy have also achieved results, such as Suyu Hengli Industrial Park, Huaiyīn Zhenda Steel Pipe, Baolijia Textile, Yandu Guangda Lighting, etc., all of which are transferred from southern Jiangsu and Dongfang. Northern Jiangsu has abundant labor resources, and in contrast, the cost of enterprises has been reduced and the efficiency has been improved. This 'one high and one low' is the comparative advantage of northern Jiangsu, and it is the expected effect of industrial transfer. The process of industrial adjustment and structural upgrading on a larger scale is a process of rational distribution of production factors in a larger space. Last year, the development of Jiangdong region showed a good momentum of more coordination, and the growth rate of the main economic indicators in central Jiangsu was higher than the average level of southern Jiangsu and the whole province, and accelerating the rise is becoming a reality.

At present, there is an 'opportunity' in the 'crisis'. It is necessary to make full use of the favorable conditions and rare opportunities such as the introduction of the central government's macro policy measures to 'maintain growth and promote development', the acceleration of the integration of enterprise resources and structural adjustment, the huge space of the domestic market and the obvious trend of industrial transfer, take the initiative to act, actively adjust, and enhance international competitiveness through this round of optimization and upgrading.

The economic growth rate has dropped a little, but if our economic structure tends to be rational and the mode of development changes, this will be beneficial to the long-term development of the economy.

Leisurely everything, people's livelihood is great. Economic development is the foundation and premise for improving people's livelihood, so we regard maintaining growth as the primary task of economic work. Only by maintaining steady and rapid economic development can we have more financial and material resources to solve the problems of people's livelihood, do more practical and good things for the people, and let the people get more benefits. Last year, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in Jiangdong was 19,680 yuan, and they are about to enter the 20,000 club, and the per capita net income of rural residents was 7,957 yuan, and they are only one foot away from entering the 8,000 club, and our expected target for this year is to increase by about 10% and 9% respectively. ”

Wu Xiaoli didn't waste time asking questions, and immediately asked: "So how can Jiangdong Province highlight the key points to protect people's livelihood?" ”

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood, and social security is the foundation of people's livelihood. We make employment a top priority for improving people's livelihoods. On February 18, when I went to Jingkou for research, I went to the job fair for college students in the human resources market to understand the employment needs of enterprises and ask about the employment aspirations of college students. Jiangdong has taken a variety of measures to promote the employment of college graduates, ensuring that the initial employment rate is more than 70% and the year-end employment rate is more than 90%.

Jiangdong is implementing a more active employment policy, insisting on ensuring employment through enterprise development, promoting employment through vocational training, and promoting employment through self-employment, and striving to re-employ 250,000 laid-off unemployed people and create 850,000 new urban jobs throughout the year. It is also necessary to strive to ensure that migrant workers do not lose their jobs when they return to their hometowns, and that the people in difficulty are given priority to ensuring employment. We will increase investment in social security, further improve the social security system in urban and rural areas, expand coverage, gradually improve the level of security, and achieve comprehensive coverage of three types of rural cooperative medical care, basic medical care for urban residents, and urban and rural 'subsistence allowances'. ”

Wu Xiaoli still didn't let go, and chased after her: "So while highlighting the key points, how to pay attention to inclusiveness to protect people's livelihood?" ”

Xiao Chen slowly restrained his smile and said: "In terms of focusing on inclusive and people's livelihood, we are increasing the construction of low-rent housing and affordable housing, and accelerating the construction of affordable housing. This year, 22,000 new low-rent housing units will be added, 95,000 new affordable housing units will be started, more than 9.5 million square meters of dilapidated housing will be renovated, public rental housing will be developed, and low-income families with a per capita housing area of less than 20 square meters will be able to live in low-rent housing within three years, eligible low-income families will be able to buy and rent affordable housing, and the problem of difficulty in renting new jobs will be initially solved.

It is an important measure for our province to ensure people's livelihood by taking comprehensive measures such as supporting production, expanding employment, cooperation between villages and enterprises, and linking assistance, and vigorously implementing poverty alleviation projects. On the basis of last year's 1 million people lifted out of poverty, this year we will ensure that 1 million rural poor people will be lifted out of poverty, and that 5.27 million poor people with a per capita net income of less than 2,500 yuan in the province will be basically lifted out of poverty within three years. We insist on giving preference to weak areas, weak links and vulnerable groups, and strive to enhance the inclusiveness of improving people's livelihood. We will continue to increase support for northern Jiangsu, vigorously promote the 'four transfers' of industry, finance, science and technology, and labor, and jointly build development zones between the north and the south, so as to improve the level of economic development and people's living standards in northern Jiangsu. Attach great importance to making good arrangements for the basic livelihood of the people in difficulty, raise the standard of 'subsistence allowance' for urban and rural residents, improve the relief mechanism for the needy, and raise the subsistence allowance standard for rural areas in central and northern Jiangsu to more than 170 yuan and 130 yuan per person per month, so as to ensure that the basic living standards of urban and rural families in difficulty, retired workers and college students are not reduced.

We regard doing practical things for the people and doing good things as an important starting point for improving people's livelihood, and strive to solve the most concerning, direct and realistic interests of the people. This year, we will continue to arrange 10 practical things to improve people's livelihood. At the same time, a new round of six practical projects in rural areas, such as rural talents, farmers' health, agricultural services, rural culture, rural environment, and poverty alleviation, will be deployed and implemented, and the provincial investment alone will reach tens of billions of yuan.

At the same time, we strive to maintain stability and protect people's livelihood. Carry out in-depth investigation and resolution of contradictions among the people, actively prevent and properly dispose of the group cases that may be caused by problems such as enterprise shutdown, land requisition and demolition, and project arrears, so that all kinds of contradictions are prevented in advance, dealt with early, and resolved in a small way, so as to eliminate unstable and unstable factors to the greatest extent. Firmly establish the concept of safe development, earnestly grasp the food and drug safety supervision and production safety, and effectively curb major safety accidents. We will further promote the construction of a safe Jiangdong, prevent and crack down on illegal crimes in accordance with the law, and let the people live a good life in a down-to-earth and peaceful manner. ”

After the two sessions, Xiao Chen immediately rushed back to Jinning.

On the morning of March 16, the province and Jinning City held a meeting of organ cadres to convey the important speech of General Secretary Gu Banglan at the Jiangdong delegation of the Second Session of the 11th National People's Congress and the spirit of the national "two sessions".

Xiao Chen, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, Wang Mingcheng, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor, Chairman of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Deputy Secretary and Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, etc., respectively made presentations. Xiao Chen put forward clear requirements for the implementation of the spirit of the national "two sessions".

In his speech at the end of the meeting, Xiao Chen said that the "two sessions" that have just concluded successfully have highlighted the theme of ensuring growth, people's livelihood, and stability, and have run through the main line of actively coping with the challenges of the international financial crisis and striving to maintain steady and rapid economic development, which is of great significance. General Secretary Gu Banglan's important speech at the Jiangdong delegation was far-sighted, rich in content, and profound and incisive, which not only fully affirmed Jiangdong's work and development achievements in the past year, but also put forward ardent expectations and clear requirements for Jiangdong's future work, which made us deeply educated, inspired, and encouraged, greatly enhanced our confidence and strength in overcoming difficulties and challenges, and pointed out the direction for us to do a good job in our work at present and in the future. Comrade Xiang Yang and Comrade Li Yuanzhuo also fully affirmed the achievements made in Jiangdong's economic and social development since last year, and put forward guiding opinions for us to do a good job in our future work. We must conscientiously study and comprehend Jiangdong's reality and resolutely implement it.

Xiao Chen pointed out that in studying General Secretary Gu Banglan's important speech and the spirit of the national "two sessions," we must unify our thinking and action with the central authorities' analysis and judgment of the current economic situation and with the central authorities' policy decisions and arrangements. First, we should have a clear understanding of the situation and strengthen our confidence. We are indeed facing a complex and severe external economic environment, and we fully understand the great significance of Jiangdong's efforts to maintain steady and relatively rapid economic development to the overall development of the whole country, further enhance our sense of adversity, the overall situation, and our sense of responsibility, further strengthen our confidence in development, do a good job in all current tasks with a positive and enterprising spirit, and strive to play a leading role in coping with the challenges of the international financial crisis and maintaining steady and rapid economic development. The second is to clarify the tasks and rise to the challenge. The third is to focus on the center and serve the overall situation. All parties should work together to make more contributions to growth, people's livelihood and stability.

Xiao Chen stressed that it is necessary to focus on promoting sound and rapid economic and social development, and make every effort to ensure growth, people's livelihood and stability. First, it is necessary to resolutely implement the central authorities' policy decisions and arrangements and a series of policies and measures. In order to cope with the challenges posed by the international financial crisis, the central authorities have decided to implement a proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, and have introduced a package plan and a series of policy measures to promote steady and relatively rapid economic development. Second, we must unswervingly adhere to this year's development goals. The provincial "two sessions" set the expected target of economic growth in the province this year as 10%, and it is indeed very difficult to achieve this goal, but we are confident that we have the conditions to achieve this goal. Third, we must unswervingly accelerate structural adjustment and the transformation of the mode of development. Fourth, we should do a better job in safeguarding and improving people's livelihood.

Xiao Chen stressed: It is necessary to do a good job in improving the work style of the organs and ensure the implementation of all work tasks with a fine work style. Xiao Chen hopes that the vast number of cadres and masses in the province will work with one heart and one mind, forge ahead, face difficulties, work hard, make every effort to promote sound and rapid economic and social development, and greet the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China with excellent results.

At the same time, Xiao Zheng was in the capital, and he also began to understand the views of the remaining members of the Politburo through various means on Xiao Chen's possible by-election as an alternate member of the Politburo. The members of the Central Committee of the Xiao Department also began to receive similar news from certain channels...... -

Here's a big announcement, ahem!

The editor-in-charge of Wufeng believes that Wufeng is more suitable for writing books about officialdom and cities, and I have personally reflected on the problems that arise in the writing of "Huan Hai Longteng", including the problems mentioned by many readers and friends.

My personal reflections mainly have the following points: 1. There are too many materials and explanations, and the plot is not smooth enough; 2, the personalities of several heroines are not distinctive enough, and there are too few scenes; 3. The overall pursuit of rigor and seriousness is too high, and the popularization is not in place; 4, Xiao Chen's overall spiritual quality, especially his spiritual quality, is too perfect, especially at the provincial level, it is simply forbidden, and humanity needs to be strengthened.

This is my most important reflection on the three 8 million words of "Huan Hai Longteng", of course, there are some others, but those are mainly details, not much to say here.

Therefore, I hope to write another book of officialdom to make up for the above shortcomings, as well as the regrets in the hearts of myself and the readers.

If the new book is really written, I will change the "proportion" of seven points of politics and three points of life in "Huan Hai Longteng", five or five or four or six. A general principle is that the serious aspects should continue to maintain the seriousness of officialdom (such as organizational rules and official terms), and the aspects that should be heavy should be increased (such as the heroine's role, exchanges in political circles, etc.), and the role of "people" should be increased and the preaching of "gods" should be reduced.

Friends who are willing to give Wufeng a chance to make up for it, don't miss it!

Finally, I would like to thank my friends for their support and companionship for more than a year, and Wufeng will continue to work hard to write a book of officialdom that is cool enough and reasonable enough.

Final ps: The above words are a bit like that, uh, there is no finale today, Khan.
