Fang Zhenggang couldn't figure it out, why did Zhao Anbang have such a deep prejudice against him? Except for the autumn of 1991, when he went to Ningchuan with the working group of the provincial party committee to carry out a rectification that now seems to be a mistake, he really did nothing to be sorry for Zhao Anbang. During the more than four months of rectification, in addition to sorting out the materials, he was only ordered to cooperate with a few academic reports in several fields with different scopes. The report was not for him to do, but was arranged by Yu North China and the leaders of the working group. He was a graduate student in the Department of Economics, and he had been studying the mathematical economics of Kantorovich in the Soviet Union, and he was encouraged to brainwash the Ningchuan cadres who were doing a lot of capitalism in North China and correct the erroneous understanding of some comrades about the socialist planned economy. As soon as his mind was hot and he didn't know what was important, he made a big report, talking about the difference between the Magang Constitution and the Anshan Iron and Steel Constitution, and justifying the name of planned economics. One of them, Zhao Anbang also went to listen to it, and it is said that he left with a face before listening.

The Masteel Constitution is not actually a constitution, but a set of management systems summed up by the Soviet Union's Magny Torsk Iron and Steel Company, the core content of which is expert management, scientific management, and emphasis on the balance between economic accounting and planning. Of course, the constitution of Anshan Iron and Steel is not a constitution, but a Chinese model of Anshan Iron and Steel Company's political movement and vigorous production. Although they both belong to the category of planned economy, the former embodies the rational and scientific planning principle, and various economic indicators are calculated according to the optimal model. According to the information that Fang Zheng had when he first entered graduate school, it was not the Western countries that first used electronic computers to process production functions, but the Soviet Union. In 1977, more than 3,000 economic indicators in the Soviet Union came from computer-optimized calculations at the Union level. A group of mathematical economists represented by Kantolovich came into being, which not only constituted the mainstream of Soviet economics, but also gained worldwide reputation, and the Royal Swedish Academy awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics to Dr. Cantolovic. The constitution of China's Angang Iron and Steel embodies the will of the chief and the principle of command, subjective arbitrariness is very large, Mao ** whimsical idea, to catch up with the United States, the steel marshal will be promoted, the result can only lead to disaster. Therefore, Fang Zhenggang categorically asserted that the failure of the Chinese-style command economy is by no means the failure of the socialist planned economy!

It is undeniable that at that time he was a supporter of the planned economy and a young Marxist-Leninist, and it was precisely because of this that he was appreciated by Yu North China. Yu Huabei always joked with him, calling him Fang Kesi. During the Ningchuan Rectification, he actually became Yu Huabei's secretary. But he was too young at the time, and he didn't know how to cherish the importance of North China, and while showing his knowledge and talent, his weaknesses were also exposed. They always like to get together to play poker, a dozen until midnight, can not get up in the morning, for this is not less scolded by North China, but also confiscated a few decks of cards in North China. However, Yu North China scolded and scolded him, and he was still promoted to the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee. At that time, Ning Chuan had not yet been promoted, and the deputy secretary general was only at the level of deputy director, but the influence of power was incomparable to that of the director.

The Ningchuan rectification in the autumn of 1991 was really a good opportunity for him. If it had not been for Comrade Xiaoping's speech on his southern tour, the code on Yu Huabei's head would have been cancelled, and he would have been able to take off from Ningchuan and rise step by step from deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee to secretary general of the municipal party committee, and perhaps he would have become mayor of Ningchuan or secretary of the municipal party committee today. Unexpectedly, *** went on a southern tour, and Zhao Anbang, who had been completely destroyed, and the team that was a big capitalist were miraculously resurrected, and his bad luck was doomed. No matter how much dissatisfaction he has with Zhao Anbang, Fang Zhenggang cannot ignore the historic rise of an oriental metropolis, and his personal moral judgment cannot replace an objective historical judgment.

On the other hand, historical judgment is not a substitute for moral judgment. Fang Zhenggang believes that in terms of personal morality, Zhao Anbang is really not good, he has no room for people, and he is really amazing, he is simply a homecoming group. Not long after returning to Ningchuan with the new team, Zhao Anbang talked to him on behalf of the new municipal party committee and immediately launched a counteroffensive.

Many years have passed, and the scene of that conversation is still fresh in Fang Zhenggang's memory. It was a dark afternoon, in the office of Zhao Anbang, the old building of the municipal party committee. During the conversation, from time to time, people came in and went out to ask for instructions on work, and Zhao Anbang introduced them with sarcasm, "Meet Fang Zhenggang, the famous Fang Kesi, a theoretician specializing in the study of planned economy!" The most hateful thing was the deputy mayor at the time, Qian Huiren, who was Zhao Anbang's hardcore subordinate, beat the water dog on the spot, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fang Kesi, you are really a pity, if you had been discovered by Gorbachev earlier, please be a consultant, maybe the Soviet Union will not disintegrate!" It's a pity, I'm afraid that Ning Chuan doesn't have your practice space anymore, so you'd better follow Secretary Yu Huabei to Wenshan to practice your brilliant theory! ”

When Qian Huiren said this, Yu Huabei had been transferred to Wenshan to serve as secretary of the municipal party committee, and he had also moved the idea of leaving Ningchuan and continued to follow the old leader Yu Huabei. Yu Huabei also agreed, saying that if he couldn't gain a foothold in Ningchuan, he would transfer it! But Zhao Anbang's attitude that day and Qian Huiren's words deeply stimulated him, and he didn't leave as soon as his heart turned sideways! At that time, I thought, the iron-clad camp and flowing officials, I don't know who will leave in the future! Anyway, Lao Tzu is also at the deputy director level, you Zhao Anbang and this group of homecoming groups just don't look pleasing to the eye, and they can't take me off this deputy department level.

Zhao Anbang made his words clear, "Fang Kesi, I and the Ningchuan Municipal Party Committee can't get rid of your deputy division level, but the deputy secretary general can't let you do it, there must be no market for mathematical economics here, what else can you do?" ”

Fang Zhenggang was quite arrogant, "Secretary Zhao, look at what you asked, why can't I do it?" Give me a mayor to do the same! ”

Zhao Anbang smiled coldly, "Arrogance! All day long, Kantorovich, mathematical economics, do you really think that the planned economy saved socialism? You are right, before the reform and opening up, there was no real planned economy in China, only the will and command of the governors! You have pointed out the problem of the command economy, and I have no objection. But another question, have you ever thought about it, young man? Abandoning the command economy to the market, as long as the laws of the market are followed, the transition will be relatively easy to achieve; And mathematical economics, because of its rigorous and systematic scientific nature, is simply unable to achieve such a transition, as soon as the plan is interrupted, the whole system will collapse, and the Soviet Union will soon experience this process of collapse! After abandoning the command economy, our economic reform has undoubtedly embarked on the track of sound development! ”

Fang Zhenggang was a little surprised, "Secretary Zhao, say so, you ...... Have you studied mathematical economics as well? ”

Zhao Anbang waved his hand and said disdainfully: "I have studied a lot of things, and I won't discuss them with you here today!" You're still young, knowledgeable, and talented, and I hope you'll do some research! For example, does a planned economy necessarily be socialism? Does a market economy have to be capitalism? How did our reform and opening up get to where we are today? What has been created and lost over the years? For example, what are the successful examples of new urban development in western developed countries? How many models are available for us to choose from in the construction of new cities in the world today? How much to contribute to the cross-century construction of Ningchuan! Of course, you must continue to study Kantolovich and mathematical economics as well! ”

Fang Zhenggang understood and asked, "Secretary Zhao, what do you mean, let me go to the Policy Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee?" ”

Zhao Anbang shook his head and said, "Give full play to your expertise and go to the Economic Research Office of the Economic Commission to be the deputy director!" ”

What else is there to say about this? He is so close to Yu Huabei, and Yu Huabei values him so much, it would be good for Zhao Anbang to let him play his expertise! So, Fang Zhenggang went to the Economic Research Office under the Municipal Economic Commission to become a deputy director-level deputy director, and he did it for four years. During this time, he began to delve into the economic transformation of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Zhao Anbang's prediction of the collapse of the Soviet Union's planned economy was confirmed, as did other similar Eastern European countries, while the reconstruction of the market economy after the collapse lagged far behind China's economic reform process. As a result, his stance and viewpoint were shaken and changed, and he later wrote several weighty papers in light of China's national conditions and the reform practice of Ningchuan's steady march toward a market economy, one of which was even published in the People's Daily. But Zhao Anbang and the bureaucrats of the Ningchuan Municipal Party Committee are not visible, the director of the Municipal Economic Commission has changed twice, and the director of the Economic Research Office has changed three, and it has nothing to do with him any time, he has been frozen politically.

The past four years have been a good period for Ningchuan's rapid development. The market economy has radiated tremendous vitality after taking off the hat of capital, and funds from more than 60 countries and regions in the country and the world have poured into the hot land of Ningchuan. In 1995 alone, more than 35 billion yuan of foreign capital was used in the projects signed and implemented, and in 1996 an unprecedented record of 52.2 billion yuan was set. To be sure, Zhao Anbang and his team have done a good job, and Ningchuan's development speed has not only left far behind the Eastern European countries he studied, but also most of China's developed regions, and Ningchuan has laid a solid foundation as the largest economic city on the Han River. No matter how deep his personal feelings for the old leader Yu North China were, in the face of the Ningchuan miracle, Fang Zhenggang had to admit that Liu Huanzhang and the provincial party committee at that time used the right person, if Yu Huabei was really allowed to preside over the work in Ningchuan, maybe there would be no Ningchuan today.

At this time, his opportunity also came, and Liu Huanzhang, secretary of the provincial party committee, knew him from a paper on the changes in the political and economic system in Eastern Europe, and suggested that he be transferred to the policy research office of the provincial party committee. The responsible comrades of the relevant departments of the provincial party committee immediately talked to him and told him that they were ready to let him be the director of the first division of the policy research office to conduct macroeconomic policy research. I never thought about it, but Zhao Anbang instructed Ningchuan to organize the personnel department to drag it out, and in a fit of anger, he broke into Zhao Anbang's office to discuss the law - this is the only conversation after the conversation four years ago, and the ** smell is still very strong.

Zhao Anbang is still the same as he was four years ago, with an undisguised sarcasm on his face, "Fang Kesi, you don't want to engage in macro policy research now, but to engage in some micro research, to gain an in-depth understanding of China's national conditions and political conditions, as the chairman said, dissect the sparrow!" In my opinion, you'd better not go to the provincial party committee organs, but go to the grassroots level! ”

Fang Zhenggang said angrily: "Secretary Zhao, if this is your personal suggestion, I'm sorry, I won't consider it!" ”

Zhao Anbang said nonchalantly: "Hey, why can't you think about it?" What are you worried about? ”

Fang Zhenggang said bluntly, "Secretary Zhao, I'm worried that the result of dissecting the sparrow will be blinded by the sparrow!" ”

Zhao Anbang insisted: "I advise you to think about which county in Ningchuan to be the deputy county magistrate or deputy secretary!" ”

Fang Zhenggang was not interested at all, "Secretary Zhao, I hope you will let me go, and stop taking revenge on me!" ”

Zhao Anbang smiled, "Revenge? Who are you? Fang Kesi! Comrade Yu Huabei values you so much, and Secretary Huanzhang has taken a fancy to you again, I dare to retaliate easily? I'm really good for you, young man, go back and think again! ”

Fang Zhenggang didn't want to think about it anymore, "Secretary Zhao, I thought about it a long time ago, I should have left Ningchuan four years ago!" ”

Zhao Anbang was a little helpless, so he spit out, "Okay, okay, since that's the case, I'll let you go!" ”

Fang Zhenggang immediately clenched his fists and made a rather exaggerated skew, "Thank you, thank you Secretary Zhao for your kindness!" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Anbang's face pulled, "Sooner or later, one day, I will let you go down, you remember this!" ”

Fang Zhenggang thought that this was just Zhao Anbang's casual talk, but he didn't expect Zhao Anbang to really do it two years later.

In 1996, Zhao Anbang concurrently served as vice governor in the capacity of secretary of the Ningchuan Municipal Party Committee, and in May 1997 he joined the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

This fell into a trap, and the dissecting sparrow was blinded by the sparrow. There are many rights and wrongs, many contradictions, and it is dealing with a local snake like Zhang Guichun, so it's no wonder if there is no trouble! In just ten months and three days, he had just figured out Jinchuan's family background, and before he could try his skills, he fell off the horse with a bullet hole wound and an arrow. Zhang Guichun and the three members of the Standing Committee jointly filed a complaint with Zhao Anbang, saying that he had never entered the county magistrate's office since he took office, and that he could not even find him in the standing committee of the township below because he had shaken his prestige and bragged about it, and this seriously affected Jinchuan's economic construction. Zhao Anbang immediately commented on the report materials, "What is an empty talker, just look at Fang Zhenggang, I think it is difficult for me to change this comrade, and I recommend that he be removed and arranged separately!" Fortunately, the old leader Yu Huabei stood up and said some fair words, so he was able to return to the provincial party committee to lick his wounds, and half a year later, Yu Huabei, who is also the head of the organization department, nominated and suggested that he be the deputy director of the policy research office at the deputy department level.

However, gold will always shine, and six years later, he was still elected by the public, because he had the status of deputy department, and he actually crossed the ladder of deputy mayor and deputy secretary on the block, and came up to be the acting mayor. This is really a blessing and a curse, and people are not as good as the sky. Jin Chuan's setback became a turning point in his career, which he did not expect. Although Zhao Anbang is dissatisfied, there is no way, and the party democracy checks and balances the power in Zhao Anbang's hands.

It's a pity that the old rival Zhang Guichun has also been promoted, and he is the secretary of the Yinshan Municipal Party Committee. Yinshan and Wenshan are both underdeveloped areas, and both are eager to boost their economies, and the competition for attracting investment is so fierce that there are many contradictions in the open and in the covert. He and Shi Yanan always seized the opportunity to give Zhang Guichun and Yinshan some eye medicine, and people inevitably gave them eye medicine, and if they didn't make trouble, the past history would repeat itself. Thinking of this, Fang Zhenggang always had some foreboding.

Fortunately, this time he was not alone, not only did he have the firm support of the old leader Yu Huabei behind him, but also Shi Yanan, the female secretary of the municipal party committee, stood beside him. Shi Yanan is a cadre admired by Pei Yihong, his steelmaking momentum is higher than him, and the team is also very united......
