Chapter XXXV
Pearl City has always been known as the "magic capital".
The name "Magic Capital" is indeed a bit indecent, but it is more vivid, and it can also be said that it is habitual and natural.
As the bridgehead of reform and opening up, Jiangkou City has some meaning of coming from behind, and the development of Pearl City, the oldest city in East Asia, has been a little sluggish in recent years.
However, compared with the capital, Pearl City is still taking bigger steps in some aspects, walking faster, and being more advanced.
Now the whole capital is still trapped in the strange circle of discussion about the surname "She" and "capital", but the Pearl City has jumped out of this circle, and everyone is more concerned about whether the waist bag is bulging? Perhaps, it is precisely because the people of Pearl City are far away from politics but have a strong interest in the economy that they will be crowned with the title of "Magic Capital".
Comrade Fang He now lives in the Riverside Hotel in Pearl City, which is also the place where he is accustomed to staying.
Binjiang Hotel, in the Pearl City is one of the best hotels, the conditions are naturally good, needless to say, the most rare thing is that the environment here is better, open the window, you can feel the warm wind from the sea, so that the old man who has been working in the cold winter in the north for a long time, feel some of the breath of spring.
Comrade Fang He's trip to the Pearl did not have any special significance, it was just his personal habit.
As a southerner, Comrade Fang He likes to spend the Spring Festival in Mingzhu City, and according to what he thought when he retired the year before last, he no longer wants to bother with the affairs of the Politburo.
It's just that over the past year or so, he still has some views on the new leadership.
He was obviously not satisfied with the situation of reform and opening up.
Perhaps because of the events of the year before last, when it comes to reform and opening up for more than a year, the entire public opinion has either said some nonsense that is not right or some innocuous clichΓ©s, and the main leaders of the party seem to be doing their best for the sake of "peaceful evolution of the region."
"The pace of economic growth is too slow!" Comrade Fang He pushed open the window facing the sea and said with some dissatisfaction, "My thinking is that it is not enough to rely on the stable political environment that we have achieved now!" The most fundamental factor is the rate of economic growth, and it must be reflected in the gradual improvement of the people's lives! Why are you always afraid of this and that, is it possible that the thinking of these young people is more rigid than that of an old man like me? β
A thin middle-aged man in his fifties, with a rigorous description, stood respectfully behind Comrade Fang He and listened attentively.
On the coffee table in the living room, there are more than a dozen of the most influential newspapers and magazines in China, all of which have been read.
Without exception, these are all newspapers and magazines published locally in Beijing, and it is not surprising that these newspapers and magazines still do not mention Comrade Fang He's trip to the pearl.
It's a very strange situation.
"When I retired, I was respectfully asked to speak, and I said, "I've talked too much and there's nothing new to say." Comrade Fang He breathed in the fresh air and seemed to say to himself, "But recently, I have said so much, but all of them have been drowned in the sea of ideological disputes, and not even a single wave can be splashed, just like these newspapers and magazines, which will not appear at all." β
The thin middle-aged man standing behind Comrade Fang He hesitated for a moment, "I agree with the chief's point of view, ideology is not as important as the belly of the common people, and with economic development, many problems can be solved." β
Comrade Fang He continued, "I'm old, and when I'm old, I don't want to go far away, so I have no choice but to do so. β
"The chief's body is still very strong, and walking around more is also a supervision of our work." The thin middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"Hehe, I'm willing to talk to you, it's worth affirming that you're engaged in the economy." Comrade Fang He turned around and said to the thin middle-aged man with a smile, "I suddenly remembered that 13 years ago, when someone said "two whatevers", I didn't agree, and no one listened to me when I spoke in the capital, so I ran out and lit fires everywhere, triggering everyone's voices. Now that I'm in Pearl City, I feel the need to say something more. β
"We in Pearl City very much welcome the chief's speech." The thin middle-aged man said very sincerely.
Comrade Fang He looked at the middle-aged man seriously and nodded.
Suddenly, he remembered what Ye Kai had said when he was at Old Man Ye's house, and couldn't help but sigh, "That grandson of Old Ye's family is not simple. β
Sure enough, as Ye Kai said, here in Pearl City, there is no depressing atmosphere in the capital at all, and it already feels a little spring.
The thin middle-aged man was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't understand why the chief suddenly mentioned the grandson of the old Ye family, and he also had the meaning of approval.
However, the thin middle-aged man also has some calculations in his heart, the will of the old chief must be carried out conscientiously and meticulously, no matter what attitude the capital has, the magic capital must unify their thinking and resolutely support it.
He has clearly considered that the current situation in the country is clear, and that a choice must be made between developing the economy and being entangled in the ideological struggle, and he believes that Comrade Fang He's decision is correct, and besides, if the dust settles on this controversy, the high-level pattern will certainly make some fine-tuning.
Then, the possibility of him entering the center will be infinitely magnified.
He also knew very well that once Comrade Fang He made his voice heard in Mingzhu City, the capital would definitely have some opinions on him, but from his standpoint, this was a very rare opportunity, once Comrade Fang He looked at him well, it would be of great help to him to enter the sequence of several giants.
After all, next year will be the time for the party congress, and if you want to enter the center of state power, you must start preparing now, otherwise you will not be able to catch up.
Thinking of this, the thin middle-aged man said to the other party and his comrades, "Chief, I have a writing team here, who is politically strong and can handle the pen. β
"I don't have any opinions." Comrade Fang He listened and replied with a smile, "You are in charge of your territory." Of course, I can't misrepresent my original meaning. β
"That's for sure." The thin middle-aged man replied.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
"It's almost the New Year, and I hope there will be a new atmosphere in the New Year." Comrade Fang He looked at the sea outside the window, and suddenly said this to the thin middle-aged man.
"Well, there will definitely be a new atmosphere in the New Year." When the thin middle-aged man heard this, he immediately echoed thoughtfully.
The two people stood in front of the window, but they maintained a posture of one after the other, although they were relatively close, but they deliberately opened a certain distance, which made people's hearts feel infinite.
