Chapter 83: Advantages

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, Huaxia set up four special economic zones, three of which are located in the eastern province, namely Jiangzhou Special Economic Zone, Shenzhou Special Economic Zone and Nanjiang Special Economic Zone, among which the Nanjiang Special Economic Zone is the most eye-catching, after nearly 30 years of exhibition, Nanjiang City has been from the original desolate small fishing village to a modern international metropolis, and Yangcheng City has become one of the two leading economic exhibitions in the Yujiang Delta and even the entire southern part of China.

It's just that in recent years, especially after entering 2000, compared with other important cities in China, the pace of Nanjiang City's exhibition has slowed down significantly, and even contracted the problem of self-containment and stagnation.

Why did Du Hongjun, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, pay attention to this post? It is because Du Hongjun has a deep relationship with Nanjiang City. Du Hongjun started step by step from the vice mayor of Nanjiang City, successively served as the mayor of Nanjiang City, the secretary of the Nanjiang Municipal Party Committee, and then the governor of East Guangdong Province, and finally became the secretary of the East Guangdong Provincial Party Committee.

When it comes to Nanjiang, he has deeper feelings than other leaders in Eastern Province. Du Hongjun has always paid attention to Nanjiang City, and Du Hongjun is also very clear about the fact that Nanjiang City's exhibition has slowed down in recent years, but because Nanjiang City has an important influence in the country, even if Du Hongjun is the secretary of the provincial party committee, he has to be cautious about what Nanjiang City does.

Just two days ago, Du Hongjun heard by chance that there was a heavyweight post on the Internet, titled "Nanjiang, who are you abandoned?" In response to the current situation in Nanjiang City, it sharply raises one question after another. Du Hongjun immediately asked his secretary Liu Yansong to print out the post, took it in his hand and read it again and again, thinking about the questions raised in the post repeatedly. Just when Zhao Changfeng came in, Du Hongjun was still studying the post. At this time, I heard Zhao Changfeng say that he had also read this post, so he asked seemingly casually: "What do you think of the questions raised in the post?" Who do you think abandoned Nanjiang? ”

Zhao Changfeng did a lot of homework before he came, all about the reform of Haizhou City's financial system, but he didn't expect Du Hongjun to ask more questions in this regard, but instead asked the question of Nanjiang City, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Haizhou City. He pondered for a moment before he said solemnly: "Secretary Du, when I saw this post two months ago, I also did some thinking, but after all, I have not worked in Nanjiang City, and I don't have the personal feeling in the post, my thinking may be just scratching my boots, and I can't hit the ......."

Du Hongjun laughed, he waved his hand and said: "Changfeng, it's just a casual talk, where is it so serious?" I just wanted to hear what you young people think about this. ”

Du Hongjun's attitude made Zhao Changfeng a lot more relaxed, as long as he didn't formally ask for advice, but just talked about it casually, then there was no need to worry so much, just talk about it as he thought. He paused slightly, sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then spoke again: "In my opinion, no one has abandoned Nanjiang, it is Nanjiang himself who has abandoned himself. ”

"Oh? Why would this be your case. Du Hongjun asked with interest.

"As the post said, if you want to ask who abandoned Nanjiang, you have to ask why you chose Nanjiang in the first place." Zhao Changfeng said: "When I chose Nanjiang, there were two main points, one is that Nanjiang is adjacent to the Xiangjiang area and has geographical advantages. Another point is that Nanjiang was just a small fishing village at that time, and a blank sheet of paper was easy to paint, so it was possible to let go of pioneering and innovating, and even if the reform experiment failed, it would not cause much loss. As a result, Nanjiang City has received many special preferential policies from the state. Therefore, the initial success of Nanjiang City can be attributed to these two points, the advantages of policy and geographical location. ”

"But in recent years. The pace of the Nanjiang Exhibition slowed down. The economy has lost its vitality. If on the face of it. It seems that Nanjiang City is gradually losing these two advantages. First, the 1997 financial crisis that swept through Asia. Hong Kong's economy has been hit hard. The economy is in a downturn. I haven't adjusted it until now. This has inevitably affected the economy of Nam Giang. The geographical advantage of Nanjiang City's proximity to Xiangjiang has been greatly weakened. The second is to deepen reform and opening up. China's Big 6 Diving Exhibition has been promoted from the local experimental stage to the general reform. Engaging in a market economy, opening up to the outside world, and integrating with the international market have become the requirements of the whole country in China. It can no longer be confined to a few special areas. This also means that Nanjiang City can no longer rely on special preferential policies to enjoy the dividends brought by preferential policies. Nanjiang City had to face an embarrassing situation that was not particularly special for the Special Economic Zone. For the first time, we will compete fairly with other cities across the country on the same starting line. In the combination of two factors. This has caused the current economic situation in Nanjiang City. ”

"So to speak. Do you think it's the times that have abandoned Nanjiang. Is it the policy that abandoned the Nanjiang River? Du Hongjun asked.

Zhao Changfeng shook his head. "Nope. Contrary. I think it was Nam Giang himself who abandoned Nam Gang. ”

"Oh? Read on. Du Hongjun said with interest.

Zhao Changfeng said: "Compared to other cities in the mainland. Nanjiang already has a huge geographical advantage. Even if the geographical advantage is weakened at the moment. In particular, the policy advantage no longer exists. However, Nanjiang City has enjoyed more than 20 years of local policy and geographical dividends before this. The accumulation of more than 20 years is enough for Nanjiang City to easily leave behind the competition in the mainland. However, Nanjiang City has not shown this potential. On the contrary, they were caught up by the competition from the mainland one by one. Or even more. Faced with these situations. The local decision-making of Nanjiang City did not find a way to actively deal with it. Just standing there complaining. complained that the state did not give them preferential policies for Xindi. I complained that the competition was too fierce. This only says one thing. It was the city of Nanjiang itself that abandoned the city of Nanjiang. ”

"Hmm. There is some truth. Du Hongjun nodded. Said: "Keep talking......"

Zhao Changfeng was encouraged by Du Hongjun, so he let go of his scruples and continued to talk according to his own ideas: "In my opinion, it is completely wrong to attribute the original Nanjiang exhibition to the perfect combination of geographical advantages and policy advantages. The reason why Nanjiang City was able to tell the exhibition is actually because of two words: innovation! ”

The second more is delivered. Lao Xia is a little unbearable, the third is postponed, and I will update the big guy tomorrow morning, please forgive me for the book.
