Xu Haodong doesn't know many leaders, except for those in the province, the three in the capital have also met in the past year. He once "summed up" his related households, officials at or above the deputy ministerial level in Beijing, and he really only "knew" Pan Guozhu, vice minister of housing and urban-rural development.

I met Pan 11 years ago, when Xu Haodong was working in the municipal government office and participated in the formulation of the 10-year plan for urban construction. At that time, Pan Guozhu had just become the director of the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and led a team to Yunling City to inspect and guide the work.

All the city leaders present did not dare to speak, only Xu Haodong, a small section-level cadre, took the case and argued on the basis of reason, refuting Pan Guozhu's views one by one, and criticizing Pan Guozhu's opinions to the fullest, which made him angry and ashamed. At that time, Pan Guozhu had just turned forty, he was in the prime of life, and his blood was strong, so he didn't care about his identity, rolled up his sleeves and showed his arms, and wanted to "duel" with Xu Haodong.

As for the nickname "Da Lao Pan", it was given by Xu Haodong, Pan Guozhu is as famous as his person, tall and big, weighing as high as one hundred and eighty-five, like an iron pillar, if you really want to fight, it is estimated that you can crush the thin Xu Haodong with his body.

However, the fight did not start, and the old saying was answered, if you don't fight, you won't make a deal. Since then, Pan Guozhu recognized Xu Haodong, a child, and the two often talked on the phone until Pan Guozhu was transferred to another province as vice governor.

More than a month ago, Pan Guozhu suddenly called Xu Haodong and said that he would come to Yunling City to inspect and guide the work, but he didn't know when he would come. The two recounted the "friendship" seven years ago, Pan Guozhu made a bet with Xu Haodong that if he came to Yunling City and entered the city administrative center building Xu Haodong didn't know it, Xu Haodong would lose.

The bet was lost, because Pan Guozhu had already taken the elevator to the twelfth floor, and the hearty laughter was outside the door of the secretary's office.

Xu Haodong simply sat back in the office chair and said to Li Zijian: "Vice Minister Pan, please." ”

Pan Guozhu pushed the door in, "Haha, Secretary Xu, you really got up." ”

Xu Haodong also laughed, but he just refused to get up.

Not like words, Li Zijian was afraid of being seen by Pan Guozhu's people, so he hurriedly retreated with the door.

Xu Haodong snorted, pointed to the computer and said solemnly: "Minister, you want to have a treat, last year I saw that your ranking was still the oldest, and now it is the third from the bottom, you have improved, you must have a treat." ”

"Stinky boy, stinky boy." Pan Guozhu scolded with a smile: "Obviously ranked fifth, you have to say the third-to-last, what do you mean by kid, are you so humiliating." ”

"Huh." Xu Haodong smiled evilly, poured a glass of water, and sat down on the sofa with Pan Guozhu, "Leader, is it a good thing or a bad thing that you came suddenly this time?" ”

"It's a good thing, a great thing." Pan Guozhu said: "However, I have to see if you and your Yunling City are qualified to take over this great thing." ”

Xu Haodong understood, got up and got a telescope, "Leader, you taught me back then, I have never forgotten it for a moment to be far-sighted and stand tall to see far." Every week, I have to stand on the roof of the building and look around, watching the development of the city and thinking about the future development of the city. ”

"Okay, let's take a look."

There were a bunch of cadres standing in the corridor, which startled Xu Haodong, it turned out that Pan Guozhu didn't come alone, he looked like he was going to do something big. In addition to one director and one deputy director, there are four division chiefs and more than a dozen deputy division chiefs, a total of 23 people.

Xu Haodong did not dare to slack off, shook hands with the leaders and cadres of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development one by one, and at the same time instructed Li Zijian to inform the canteen to prepare lunch.

Pan Guozhu said unceremoniously: "Director Wang, Director Ma, comrades, you must remember that you have to pay for your own meals in Yunling City. If you don't pay, people will not only ask you for money, but they will also expose it in the media, comrades, be careful. ”

There was a lot of laughter in the hallway.

Xu Haodong smiled: "I'm treating, can't I personally entertain?" ”

On the observation deck on the top of the building, Pan Guozhu held a telescope and looked around as he said, "Haodong, you introduce them to Director Wang and Director Ma." ”

The people of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development have a miniature version of the urban planning map of Yunling City.

"Director Wang, Director Ma, leaders, please look south, it is the streets of Nancheng, it is the old city, and my home is there. It was the 80s and its previous Yunling City urban area, next to the original 518 military factory, now two-thirds of the old city has been renovated one after another, and one-third of the old buildings, as a city's historical memory, we have specially preserved, only repair and reinforce, not demolished or built. I suggest that comrades go there to have a look, especially in the evening, where they can not only eat all the special snacks of Yunling City, but also enjoy all the local operas and folk tunes of Yunling City. ”

"Please look north from Nancheng Street, that is Zhongcheng Street, and it is also the current city center of Yunling City, which was built in the early nineties of the last century and completed at the beginning of this century. According to our planning in the past ten years and the needs of actual development, the structure and layout of the streets of Midtown have reached the point where they must be renovated. Therefore, we launched the downtown plaza project, which will last for three years and have a total investment of 35 billion yuan. The biggest highlight of the project is the huge underground transportation system and the large underground parking lot, after the completion of the project, at least this requirement can be met, only buses, taxis and special vehicles are running on the ground, mainly pedestrians, and all private cars will be on the underground transportation network. ”

"The east and west sides of Zhongcheng Street, respectively, Dongcheng Street and Xicheng Street, are also the essence of the 10-year plan, so far, the actual expansion of Dongcheng Street and Xicheng Street has reached more than 130% of the planning target. The Beicheng Street to the north of Zhongcheng Street was only developed seven years ago, and it is actually 100% complete. To sum up, the urban development plan we determined ten years ago can no longer meet the needs of actual development, and according to my personal prediction, in the next ten years, at least half of the existing urban area will need to be rebuilt to meet the needs of actual development. ”

"At present, the total area of the urban area is 98.5 square kilometers, with a permanent population of 738,700 and a temporary population of between 230,000 and 280,000. There are 17 large and small lakes with a total area of about 10.3 square kilometers, 79 large and small rivers with a total length of 181 kilometers, and a river area of about 2.7 square kilometers. There are 63 large and small parks in the urban area, covering an area of nearly 25 square kilometers, of which about 212 square kilometers are pure green areas, and the total area of green space accounts for 35.1 percent of the total area in the entire urban area. ”

Pan Guozhu asked: "Haodong, if you talk about the plan for the next ten years from now on, what are your personal specific thoughts?" ”
