Zhang Yuqiang is also a mature official, and he is also a relatively wise official. He knew very well that although Li Xiaoning's words were relatively direct and not very good, what he said was not bad at all. So far, the game of chess in the development zone is indeed going to die. But he understands better that this is not just Zhang Hui's problem alone, or even Xue Guoping's problem, there are more profound reasons for this.

Zhang Yuqiang is different from Li Xiaoning, Li Xiaoning has been riding a rocket since graduation, and he has worked to the right level. He, Zhang Yuqiang, did step by step from a village official to the post of deputy department-level secretary of the party committee of the development zone. His experience is much richer than Li Xiaoning's, so he knows more about the unspeakable sadness in it.

Officials all over the country are desperately working on the political performance project, not to mention Zhang Hui, any cadre may do that. Even including Li Xiaoning, who can say that the new ecological area he engaged in back then did not have the shadow of the Zài political performance project? Of course, what Li Xiaoning admires most is that he never uses the government's money, or the people's money, and he always uses guò to support to achieve his ideals. This maximizes the risk of the government and the risk of the city.

However, not every official is Li Xiaoning, and not every official can bring in tens or even tens of billions of funds. But every official can still do something, so what should I do? You can only use government finance, that is, the tax revenue collected from the hands of the people, and if the government finance is not enough, then use the government's face to borrow money from the bank. This is actually gambling, if you succeed, you will get the chips on the top, if you don't succeed, you can't lose money alone, at most you will be said to be incapable. Lack of capacity is not a matter of principle. So, almost all officials do it.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of the cadre promotion system. Over the years, "new officials ignore old accounts" has become the habitual action of some leading cadres at present, and everywhere they go, they always like to reopen the gongs and drums, only caring about personal black hats and political performance projects, ignoring the voices of the people, the demands of the people, and the expectations of the masses; Ignoring people's livelihood issues, environmental protection issues, and happiness index; Regardless of whether the masses are willing or not, they only care that the superiors are not satisfied. Everywhere we go, we are waving the banner of GDP, and the so-called "political performance project" and "image project" are taken care of. For the sake of their own selfish interests, they have built a large number of buildings and deliberately allowed GDP to be increased, so that the higher-level government or the central government can give them gold medals and high scores. Over time, the GDP has been deformed and distorted, and it has also lost the support of the people. For example, some local governments, regardless of whether the roads are congested or not, do not ask whether it is convenient or inconvenient for the masses, often repair the road and then dig it, and then repair it after digging; The building was built and then bombed, and the building was blown up and rebuilt.

At present, the whole country is in the stage of rapid economic development, and the GDP growth rate ranks first in the world, and everyone is proud of it, but behind this pride is the destructive exploitation of resources, the large-scale pollution of the environment, and the unplanned development and auction of land.

In the end, it is the broad masses of the people who pay for this price, soil erosion, environmental damage, rising housing prices, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, many places have demolished and built, built and demolished, and GDP has doubled upwards, which is followed by a huge fee for resources, and at the same time, the land sale economy has made land prices soar, and many people's lifetime income may not be able to afford a house, and the housing price problem has become one of the most headaches for national leaders.

GDP needs economic growth, while people's livelihood welfare, social undertakings and ecological benefits need financial investment. Under the impulse of GDP, many local officials are willing to invest a large amount of financial funds in face and image projects to attract investment.

Speaking from facts, there is no "original sin" in the pursuit of higher GDP by officials and the implementation of GDP performance appraisal by superiors at the grassroots level. Because social progress and the improvement of people's livelihood and welfare both require financial support from economic development, without economic development, social progress and people's livelihood improvement will become water without a source and a tree without roots. So, what's wrong? What is wrong is the distorted evaluation mechanism of "GDP first", and what is wrong is the impulse of deformed GDP performance at the expense of land, the environment, the law, and the interests of the people. Under this kind of almost fanatical and irrational GDP performance pursuit and evaluation system, it is difficult for the economy and society to achieve overall and coordinated scientific development, so as to deduce "GDP with blood".

It was in this atmosphere that Zhang Hui put forward the idea of an international industrial park as soon as he took office, and it was in this atmosphere that almost no opposition was heard to this idea. As a result, the international industrial park was launched. Zhang Hui himself boasted that the launch of the international industrial park will bring the development of the development zone to a new level.

However, facts have proved that the development zone has not only not reached a new level, but has planted a big heel. Zhang Hui's International Industrial Park is actually a gimmick, there is no scientific planning at all, except for some polluting enterprises that have nowhere to take root abroad, such as electroplating companies, like chemical companies, other high-tech enterprises are not attracted at all. However, Zhang Hui laid down the plate first, and a lot of construction was carried out on more than 30 square kilometers of land, but more than 70 billion yuan was invested before and after, and a real golden phoenix was not attracted.

Zhang Yuqiang can see where these problems are, but he also knows that he has no ability to solve this problem, in fact, there is only one person he can think of who has this ability, and that is Li Xiaoning, so he has made great efforts on the issue of Li Xiaoning's return to Binhai.

Xue Guoping is also not a fool, at first he was in favor of Zhang Hui to build an international industrial park, because he also wanted political achievements, but as time went by, he also saw that Zhang Hui not only did not build a gold mountain for him, but dug a big hole for him. In this case, he also has to remedy it, and Li Xiaoning's ability is also very clear to him. Therefore, when Zhang Yuqiang proposed to transfer Li Xiaoning back, he immediately put aside his "personal prejudices" and chose to welcome.

Now, Li Xiaoning is finally in place. For Zhang Yuqiang, this is the only one of the many troubles he has encountered in this period of time. Li Xiaoning is his only ray of sunshine in this gloomy day.

Zhang Yuqiang slowly retracted his thoughts, and said in a deep voice to Li Xiaoning: "Xiaoning." I won't say much else, but I'll just say two points. One, you are what I am coming, I will definitely support you, and I will firmly support you; Second, show your guts and abilities, give me a few shots, and don't care who he is! ”

For a time, a sense of tragedy arose. Li Xiaoning's fighting spirit was rejuvenated after being exhausted a while ago, and he said solemnly: "Chief! There is your phrase. I, Li Xiaoning, will accompany you to bet on your life! No matter if there is a minefield or an abyss in front of you, I will rush forward with you without hesitation! ”

Zhang Yuqiang took Li Xiaoning's hand and said, "Don't let me and my comrades down!" ”

Saying goodbye to Zhang Yuqiang, Li Xiaoning went to the district government. As soon as I entered the office of the district mayor Zhang Hui, I saw Zhang Hui holding a notebook and planning to go out.

Seeing Li Xiaoning come in, Zhang Hui said with a businesslike expression: "I'm sorry, Assistant Li." There are so many things in the district that I guess I don't have time to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. Wait a minute, Director Zhang will arrange an office for you, and now I'm going to hold a government work meeting, so you can come along. ”

Li Xiaoning's current position is called "assistant to the district head", which is a transitional position, and the power is actually equivalent to that of the deputy district head. According to the general principle of salutation, others should call him "District Chief Li", and Zhang Hui, as the leader of the district government, can also politely call him "Comrade Xiaoning", but Zhang Hui did not use either of these two titles, but directly called Li Xiaoning "Assistant Li", the meaning of which is self-evident.

Li Xiaoning naturally heard it, but he also understood Zhang Hui's psychology. I came this time to clean up the mess that Zhang Hui couldn't handle, and it was normal for Zhang Hui to be hostile to himself, which just shows that Zhang Hui is actually not mature, and he can't be happy and angry. If Zhang Hui greeted him with a smile, then he really had to be careful.

The two walked into the conference room one after the other, and Li Xiaoning sat down in a position at the far end of the conference table. Zhang Hui didn't introduce Li Xiaoning to others, and said to himself: "Now the meeting is held." Thanks to the joint efforts of all of you, the work of the Government has been carried out in an orderly manner, and we will continue to rely on the vigorous assistance of all of you present here to maintain the current good situation.

Now the focus is on taxes. It's in our own interest, right? Let's ask the comrades in charge of each line to tell me about the handover of their stalls. ”

So the people began to talk about it.

In fact, such a meeting is unlikely to be of any substantive use at all. Binhai City is a developed city, and the development zone is especially the economic center. Enterprises that can gain a foothold here are generally more law-abiding, and the taxes and fees that should be paid are generally not paid less, but in the same way, the enterprises that can establish a foothold here are not without background, and the money that should not be paid is generally ignored.

Zhang Hui is now asking everyone to discuss some of the charging items that have been cleverly named. He estimated that there was no way out, and there was so much financial deficit that he had to make this decision.

However, the next policy is the next policy after all, and the Chinese country can be regarded as a nominal legal society, and enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, will not be slaughtered obediently at all. The heads of all the departments here also understand this situation. So, everyone also said something that didn't hurt or itch, and waited for the meeting to end.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and did not produce any substantive results. At the end of the meeting, Zhang Hui moved the topic to Li Xiaoning, "Assistant Li will be officially hired from today." He is an expert in dealing with group ** cases, I think let him be in charge of the affairs of the Red Star Mall first! ”

ps: The taste of debt is not pleasant! Let's pay off the debt in this chapter. There should be another chapter later, hehe. I'm still reputable, right?
