The night is gentle, the lights on both sides of the street are very penetrating, piercing the dark and inky water, and the shade of the trees on the opposite bank can still reflect the shadows on the lake, hazy and dim, but there is a different kind of quiet beauty.

On the fifth day of the investigation, I came to the last stop, Zilan City.

The situation of high-tech industries in Huainan Province is not as good as it is shown in the written materials, especially from these cities in the northern part of Huainan, Fang Zhicheng deeply feels that although Huaxia has always emphasized rejuvenating the country and strengthening the country through science and technology, it has only staggered a few steps. In the materials reported to the province, there is always a series of exciting examples, but in fact, when you go to the grassroots level, you can find that they are all with packaging ingredients. The state has been emphasizing innovation, but most entrepreneurs are still in the survival stage, and innovation is still too far away for them.

Taking Zilan City as an example, there is no high-tech enterprise in the city that can get started, even if it has a little technical content, it is also relying on the technical qualifications of others, if the partner withdraws, then the enterprise will collapse.

Empathy, in a third-tier city like Zilan City, if entrepreneurs want to rely on high-tech to make money, on the one hand, there is no talent, and on the other hand, even if they have core technology, there is no market around them to recognize them. They want to promote the core technology, but they lack a circle and atmosphere.

Therefore, cities like Shenzhou, Yunhai, and Yinzhou themselves have high-tech elements, so there is a more suitable soil for promoting high-tech industries. But it is difficult for these cities in the north and south of Huai.

Standing in the position of director of the high-tech industry department, Fang Zhicheng has to consider how to guide the development of the province's high-tech industry and reverse the current situation. Because everyone knows that if Huainan wants to maintain rapid growth, it has to focus on several cities in the north and south of Huainan. That's why Fang Zhicheng chose to investigate here.

Two black cars were parked by the lake, and several people were scattered around.

The reception work of Zilan City and Caoyao City is different, and in comparison, the reception work of Zilan City is a little simpler. There are two reasons for this difference: first, the two cities think differently about high-tech industries. Caoyao City sees the potential of high-tech industries, but Zilan City does not have such awareness; Second, the degree of attention paid to the leaders in charge is not the same. This time, the deputy mayor in charge of the NDRC only showed up during the meal, and then was accompanied by the director of the NDRC.

However, this is also convenient for Fang Zhicheng to understand the actual situation of Zilan's high-tech industry from the director of the National Development and Reform Commission.

After eating, everyone did not go to KTV or other leisure centers, but stood on the shore of Zilan Lake, the mother lake of the city. The city of Zilan spent three years to create the Zilan Lake Scenic Belt, and even though it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, the sightseeing belt was still very lively.

Zhang Zhen, director of the Zilan Municipal Development and Reform Commission, is ten years older than Fang Zhicheng, but he is already a younger generation in the echelon of cadres at the department level in Zilan City. Zhang Zhen's father used to be the old mayor of Zilan City, so Zhang Zhen's career in Zilan City also went extremely smoothly. If nothing else, he will be able to smoothly enter the municipal leadership team within five years.

After getting along with Zhang Zhen for two days, Fang Zhicheng learned a lot from him. There is a saying, don't underestimate the world, Fang Zhicheng has been in officialdom for many years, and it is rare to meet young people who are comparable to him in terms of knowledge, and Zhang Zhen is such a character.

In the position of director of the Zilan Development and Reform Commission, Zhang Zhen has his own unique experience in regional planning and development. These insights are not only included in the high-tech industry division, but also involve all aspects of urban development. Fang Zhicheng actually had an expectation of what kind of scene Zhang Zhen could transform Zilan City into in the future.

Zhang Zhen took a cigarette from Fang Zhicheng's hand, lit it, took a puff, and said with a smile: "Director Fang, do you know the mentality of the grassroots?" ”

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I came from the grassroots level, so I naturally know the mentality of the grassroots level. For the various policies and instructions of the province, it is more of a kind of coping and communicating. From your point of view, the province doesn't know the specific situation below, and it is too high-level, so when it comes to work, there must be a lot of complaints in my heart. ”

Zhang Zhen got along with Fang Zhicheng and felt that he had a common topic with him, so he spoke a lot more casually, and he smiled and said: "It's too negative to say that it's coping." However, the grassroots development and reform commission has a lot of tasks, and many times it is overwhelmed. Taking the Zilan Municipal Development and Reform Commission as an example, it often works overtime, but it has not made many achievements. ”

Fang Zhicheng said: "How do you think it can be improved?" ”

Zhang Zhen flicked the cigarette on the tip of his fingers, popped out a few sparks, and he said slowly: "Be pragmatic." It is hoped that the guiding documents issued by the province can be pragmatic and close to the actual work of us. In this way, we can find the right direction, so as to avoid a policy issued from above, and it is difficult to start with a confused mind below. By the time you really know what to do, the trend has changed. ”

Fang Zhicheng nodded seriously and said, "Director Zhang, I have written down your proposal. ”

……

All the personnel of the high-tech industry department went to 12 cities in the province to conduct research for a week. After returning to the National Development and Reform Commission, after intensive discussion, and then concentrated on sorting out the materials, the "Investigation and Research Report on the Status of High-tech Industries in Huainan Province" was finally formed. The report, which is more than 100 pages long, expounds in detail the specific situation of the high-tech industry in Huainan Province and gives preliminary conclusions. Previously, similar research reports were generally compiled by the Provincial Development Planning Research Institute, so the behavior of the high-tech industry department made other departments a little unaccustomed.

Shen Hanchun carefully read the research report, then hurriedly left the office and went to Building No. 1.

In the governor's office, Wei Qun contemplated his eyebrows, and when he was halfway through the research report, he raised his head and said, "Comrade Hanchun, who made this research report?" The conclusion is incisive and eye-catching. ”

Shen Hanchun said truthfully: "This was compiled by the High-tech Industry Department in half a month. Previously, all the people in their office had traveled to the place and finally got the report back. ”

Wei Qun was transferred from the director of the National Development and Reform Commission to Huainan as the governor, so he is particularly familiar with the work of the NDRC system and knows the gold content of this research report. Because he is familiar with the National Development and Reform Commission, Wei Qun attaches great importance to the National Development and Reform Commission. However, this also led to some minor problems, although they were also from the northern faction, Wei Qun was a little wary of Jiang Yong.

Jiang Yong is a confidant of Wen Jinglong, the secretary of the provincial party committee, and one day he was in the National Development and Reform Commission, and Wei Qun felt that there was a pair of eyes peeping at him. Although they are in the same vein, the relationship between Wei Qun and Wen Jinglong is not as harmonious as imagined.

This is the quality of power. Perhaps in terms of factional positions, the two will maintain close cooperation and unswervingly implement the faction's decisions, but in the game of private interests, the contradiction between Wei Qun and Wen Jinglong is even more obvious than when Bu Yiren was in Huainan.

The reason why Shen Hanchun skipped Jiang Yong and found Wei Qun was because he took a fancy to the key. The relationship between Shen Hanchun and Wei Qun is very good, because Shen Hanchun has deep experience in the Huainan Development and Reform Commission, and he ran the National Development and Reform Commission a lot often, so he got along with Wei Qun very well.

Wei Qun admired Shen Hanchun's ability. Therefore, although Bu Yiren's departure from Huainan was a severe test for the original official structure, for Shen Hanchun, he actually got a chance to be reborn.

Wei Qun closed the materials and said, "The high-tech industry department is in charge of Fang Zhicheng, right?" I've followed him at the local level, and he's a good young man. In the conclusion of the survey of northern Huainan cities, he put forward a very novel idea. Increasing cross-regional industry-university-research cooperation is the core task of promoting high-tech industries in northern cities. The so-called cross-regional not only refers to the flow of resources of colleges and universities in the province, but also introduces resources from universities across the country and imports them into the north and south of Huainan. With talents, the northern cities of Huainan really have the soil for innovation. ”

Shen Hanchun nodded with a smile and said: "We have been emphasizing the need to give more policies and subsidies to local funds, but we have forgotten a fundamental thing, talent is the main promoter of social development and change. The report also vaguely mentions the whereabouts of the funds guided by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, which are more included in the fiscal taxation by the local government, and do not stimulate local enterprises. In fact, it is not that local governments do not want to promote social progress and reform, but that they are suffering from lack of strength and cannot find the right way. ”

Wei Qun formed a fist with his right hand, lightly tapped a few times on the desk, and commanded in a solemn tone: "The investigation work of the High-tech Industry Department has made a good start, and it has also exposed the shortcomings of the previous provincial government agencies in their work. The Party Central Committee has been promoting the mass line work, and I think it can also be linked to it. Comrades are encouraged to go for more walks and come up with research reports of practical significance. It's much better than doing it behind closed doors. ”

Shen Hanchun said with a smile: "I hope to bring a huge change to Huainan officialdom." ”

Change is a word that NDRC officials often mention. From the Shang Dynasty Reform of the Qin State to the Wang Anshi Reform of the Song Dynasty, the reformers who caused the sudden change of the system or society are always full of controversy, and they will have a unique temperament.

This kind of temperament is shared by Wei Qun, Shen Hanchun, and Fang Zhicheng also has this temperament.

Because of change, the wheels of society can continue to move forward. If you don't advance, you will retreat, which is a truth that was slowly explored several decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Out of Wei Qun's office, Shen Hanchun exhaled lightly, thinking in his heart, is this Fang Zhicheng due to luck, or is he planning to move later?

Did he have long expected that Wei Qun would lead it to an action to consolidate his position?
