Zhu Minwen had a lot of opinions on Yi Haitao leading teams everywhere to attract investment like a headless fly, and he made a relatively subtle criticism of this at the secretary's office meeting.

"What does the government do?" Zhu Minwen asked with a calm face: "All of you will say that the government is to develop the economy. This notion is so popular now that everyone accepts it without thinking. However, I have a different opinion, I have always believed that the government is the one who runs the city, and this is the first responsibility of the mayors. ”

"Secretary Minwen," since Zhu Minwen talked about the responsibilities of the government and the mayor, Yi Haitao, who convened the government's work, had to explain: "The government is centered on economic construction, and it should also be running and managing the city." ”

"Comrade Haitao, taking economic construction as the center does not mean that you, the executive vice mayor, will go outside to attract investment all day long." Zhu Minwen said unceremoniously: "The focus of the operation and management of the city should be on the city itself. Everyone goes into battle to attract investment, who will manage the city? It is also questionable how much investment from outside the province can be implemented after the most difficult time. ”

"Secretary Minwen, what do you think we should do?" Yi Haitao couldn't argue with Zhu Minwen, so he could only humbly ask for advice.

"The legitimate economic function of the government is to create a good institutional framework and a stable and harmonious social environment for enterprises and individuals to engage in economic activities and carry out fair competition." Zhu Minwen said with some excitement, "Whether it is the government or the mayor, you have to do something and don't do something." Cities can only be managed by the government, and if the government's interest is not in the city but only in the business, the city will be abandoned due to neglect. How can a dirty and messy city talk about economic development? A city does not have some bright spots, and investors may not be willing to invest in preferential policies alone. ”

Zhu Minwen's speech was very inflammatory, and it cannot but be said to be from the bottom of his heart. He has worked in Qingyuan for most of his life, he loves this land, loves the people of Qingyuan, he believes that the transformation of shantytowns along the Yangtze River and the construction of the business circle along the Yangtze River are for the benefit of the people of Qingyuan and the prosperity of Qingyuan's economy.

In his inaugural speech as secretary of the municipal party committee, he clearly stated that this team must establish an image of "innovation, pro-people, pragmatism and integrity" in front of the people of Qingyuan, improve people's livelihood, and build a civilized, happy and harmonious new Qingyuan.

There is certainly nothing wrong with such a governing philosophy.

However, in terms of understanding and implementation, there are differences between Zhu Minwen and Yi Haitao.

Zhu Minwen believes that it is necessary to appropriately adjust the guiding ideology of urban construction, and gradually change the importance of attaching importance to the transformation of large squares and large roads to the transformation of small and medium-sized roads, and at present we should concentrate our efforts on doing a good job in the "popular project," that is, the transformation of shantytowns, the maintenance of small streets and alleys, the beautification of courtyards in residential areas, the rectification of water accumulation in low-lying areas after rain, and the renovation of low-grade buildings.

Yi Haitao believes that in order for a city to improve its grade and image, it must expand its economic scale and enhance its overall strength, so that it is possible to solve the difficult problems closely related to their life and survival, such as employment, income, unemployment insurance, pension insurance, and medical insurance, which are of greatest concern to the people of Qingyuan.

The priority between the Jiangbei Development Zone and the business and trade circle along the Yangtze River, and the arrangement of who comes first and who comes last, is just a fuse for the conflict between the two concepts.

At this time, Yi Haitao didn't dare to have too stiff a relationship with Zhu Minwen.

He knew in his heart that the current situation was very delicate, although Zhu Minwen had not yet completely become the core of Qingyuan's power, but his attitude could completely influence the trend of the mayoral dispute, which Yi Haitao was extremely sober and vigilant.

And Tang Yifu is an extremely difficult opponent to deal with, this person has very rich experience in political struggle, can bend and stretch, can be soft and hard, once the time is ripe, he will never leave any chance for the opponent, there is such an opponent around him, Yi Haitao can only compromise with Zhu Minwen.

Yi Haitao avoided talking about the investment promotion of Jiangbei Development Zone, and said that he would vigorously promote the construction of the business circle along the Yangtze River and make it a bright spot in Qingyuan City, and then briefly reported the report sent by the headquarters, saying that the city's leading enterprise Qingtian Real Estate has the intention of investment and development, and hopes to get policy support from the government.

Zhu Minwen's face slowed down and said: "Comrade Haitao is responsible for the specific work of the government, so I won't ask." The business circle along the Yangtze River and the Jiangbei Development Zone are both image projects of Qingyuan, and they are also good projects that are conducive to improving the space for urban economic development. ”

Yi Haitao then said: "Okay, I'll arrange for the relevant departments to follow up, and when appropriate, I will personally talk to the relevant parties." ”

So far, Guo Hongze, Tang Yifu and others, who were originally silent, have expressed that they will fully support Comrade Haitao's work in accordance with Secretary Zhu's instructions and provide a strong guarantee for the construction of the business circle along the Yangtze River and the Jiangbei Development Zone.

After the meeting ended, Zhu Minwen deliberately dragged it to the small conference room when only he and Yi Haitao were left, and then said very solemnly: "Lao Yi, I know that you are very ambitious, and you also want to show your strength, unlike us cadres who were born and raised in Qingyuan, you want to open up a new world, and I, the squad leader, will definitely support you with all my strength in this regard." ”

Yi Haitao grabbed the notebook and said, "Secretary Zhu, you have won the award, I have no experience in political work, and I ask you, the old mayor, for more guidance." ”

"Hehe, I can't talk about pointing, it's still necessary to remind me properly. It is normal that there are always priorities in doing work, and there will be differences in views from different perspectives. Over the years, we have experienced ups and downs, and we have all experienced it, and we have been able to get to this point, don't we hope that we can do something practical for the people during our reign? As long as it is conducive to urban development, conforms to the state's major policies, and is conducive to improving the people's living standards, we can make great efforts to grasp it. Many cadres in our city have developed in one place, and it is inevitable that they will have limitations. After you came, you brought vitality to the team, who else can you support if I don't support you? ”

The two of them walked out while talking, although Yi Haitao sincerely thanked Zhu Minwen for saying this with him, but at this juncture, no matter how it sounds, it seems to have an extraneous meaning and an extraneous sound.

When Zhu Minwen was approaching the office, he deliberately stopped and told Yi Haitao: "Haitao, my reminder is just some experience taught by words and deeds, and specific decisions have to be decided by the collective study of the government team." Qingyuan is different from Linjiang, with a thin foundation and many problems, and the development cannot be so balanced. ”

Yi Haitao kept nodding yes, watching Zhu Minwen enter the office, and then walked back, and when he entered the elevator, he was still thinking about what kind of attitude Zhu Minwen had?

Back in the office, Yi Haitao went to the lounge and happily put water in it.

Chu Tianshu came over to ask for instructions, saying that Wang Shaolei had made another appointment with an investor to inspect the development zone, and asked the boss if he had time to have dinner together in the evening.

Yi Haitao thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you tell Shaolei that if you don't have too sure of your investment intention in the future, I won't come forward to receive you." ”

Chu Tianshu turned around to leave, but Yi Haitao called him again: "Xiao Chu, have you had any contact with Director Yue of the Provincial Department of Commerce recently?" ”

"Nope." Chu Tianshu was a little puzzled, why did Yi Haitao suddenly ask this question.

"By the way, you also tell Shao Lei, you still have to strengthen the connection." Yi Haitao motioned for Chu Tianshu to sit down, and said: "Xiao Chu, I have also been reflecting on it in the past few days, this kind of investment promotion method of casting a net everywhere is a bit like luck, the momentum is big, but the effect is not very good, it is still necessary to carry out the work with a target through the line of Director Yue." ”

Hearing these words, Chu Tianshu felt that Yi Haitao was about to shift the focus of his work.

Sure enough, Yi Haitao took a sip of water from his cup and said: "Recently, I still have to focus on promoting the work of Shen Guozhang, but the investment promotion work of Jiangbei Development Zone cannot be stopped, I hope you can help me pay more attention." ”

As soon as he came back from the secretary's office meeting, he said such a thing to himself, although Yi Haitao did not say it explicitly, but Chu Tianshu could understand that he must have his troubles.

After such a period of running-in, Chu Tianshu and Yi Haitao may no longer be a simple relationship between the secretary and the leader.

It is never an exaggeration to describe it as a matter of interdependence and solidarity.

A secretary has different functions and roles at different times and occasions, and he can be the spokesperson of the leader, the agent, the crutch, the powerhouse, the gunman, the scapegoat, the think tank, the health doctor, the dietary consultant, the beautician, the clothing reference, etc., and so on, from a political point of view, his intimacy is even no less than that of a marriage partner.

This also comes with many obligations, such as the secretary must completely obey the leader and maintain the leader, the leader's thoughts are his thoughts, and the leader's love and hate is his love and hate, just like Wang Shaolei's metaphor of the eunuch, his thoughts and personality are completely castrated, and they are voluntary.

This is also the main reason why Gao Daquan at the deputy section level was demoted to Tang Yifu, and why he would far exceed a deputy department-level cadre.

At this moment, Yi Haitao had to devote his main energy to the business circle along the Yangtze River, but he was unwilling to slow down the pace of construction of the development zone, and he hoped that Chu Tianshu could become his spokesperson in the work of the Jiangbei Development Zone.

Chu Tianshu didn't refuse, didn't even say a humble word, and immediately agreed, and at the same time felt unprecedented pressure.

Because this task is completed, he has no credit at all, but if he fails, he will be next tall!

Obviously, Yi Haitao's arrangement of Chu Tianshu to pay attention to the investment promotion of the Jiangbei Development Zone is completely in the nature of "fox fake tiger power", and it can neither be fanfare nor bluff. Because of this, he could only instruct Chu Tianshu to strengthen his contact with Yue Huanyan, hoping that Chu Tianshu could find another way to secretly Chen Cang.
