Chapter 369: The Only Capital

Xia Wang has unspeakable dissatisfaction with the current situation of Spring City, as an old man who has dedicated most of his life to the beautiful city of Spring City, deep down he hopes that this city born and raised in Si can be better.

Almost from the first day he served as the leader of Chuncheng, he could clearly feel that this city, with thousands of heavy industry manufacturers above designated size, was struggling in the face of the ever-changing domestic and foreign environment.

Xia Wang, who has always adhered to the resolute implementation of the orders of his superiors, has a sense of powerlessness that his hands are tied in the face of the profound and invisible changes that have taken place in Spring City and even the entire Chinese country.

Xia Wang's quality with obvious flaws made him sigh too much in the face of Chuncheng, who was gradually falling into an embarrassment.

However, in Chen Youwei's view, Xia Wang's conservative posture with a deep imprint on his generation is completely useless, at least when the Dongfang Iron and Steel Plant nest case broke out last year, it was with the support of Xia Wang, an old man with strong party spirit and principles, that the officials involved in Chuncheng City were successfully taken away for investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and other people.

To a certain extent, Chen Youwei admires old-school officials with distinct personalities like Xia Wang.

Compared with those unscrupulous politicians in later generations who have more and more unscrupulous politicians who have no bottom line at all, as long as people like Xia Wang are used well, they will have too much useful use for solving the complex and tangled problems in Spring City.

The spacious and bright office was fully heated, and Xia Wang and Chen Youwei chatted leisurely in the fog, and both sides were trying to understand each other's bottom line as much as possible in careful temptation.

"Comrade Youwei has been coming to Spring City for a few days, what kind of initial impression do you have of Spring City?" Xia Wang habitually brushed the hair on his forehead, and looked at the young mayor next to him with a smile.

"Good, very impressive!"

Chen Youwei did not hide his good impression of the greening of Spring City, nodded and said: "Spring City really lives up to its reputation, and the degree of greenery here is simply the most Chinese city." ”

Xia Wang was a little surprised, and his sharp eyes stared at Chen Youwei to see whether this young man was deliberately diverting the topic or what he really thought in his heart.

"In my opinion, a modern city does not need too many high-rise buildings, and the important indicator to really measure whether a city is suitable for citizens to live in is precisely the urban green environment that we are now ignoring in many places." He took two sips from his steaming teacup and smiled.

Listening to the young mayor's obviously fresh remarks, Xia Wang shook his head and said with a smile: "But our basic national situation now is that our people need a good economic environment with food to eat. ”

Chen Youwei nodded lightly and agreed: "Secretary Xia is right, for ordinary people, the issue of eating is indeed a very important issue, and for us city managers, the development of urban economy has always been the goal we strive for." ”

The big hand waved lightly in the air, and Chen Youwei's tone was obviously heavier: "However, in the long run, the current predicament of Chuncheng will be solved sooner or later, and the economic development level of Chuncheng will also have a qualitative leap." However, it is not easy to maintain a good green environment in Spring City, once someone destroys these urban greens for the sake of temporary economic development, then it is not so easy to restore these urban greens. ”

Turning his head to look at Xia Wang, who was a little thoughtful, Chen Youwei smiled and said: "Looking at the whole country, the greening rate of 40% that Spring City now has is definitely another excellent business card of our huge heavy industrial city. This is unique in the country! ”

Chen Youwei's small pat on the horse made Xia Wang's heart very useful, and Xia Wang couldn't understand this young man's thinking for a while. However, judging from the conversation just made by the young mayor, Chen Youwei, who has a strong personal opinion, may have a very clear understanding of his work in Spring City.

"Unique?!"

Xia Wang chewed Chen Youwei's words repeatedly, his eyes flashed with appreciation, and he nodded: "It seems that Comrade Youwei is confident?" ”

Chen Youwei smiled politely: "With such an experienced leader as Secretary Xia, I believe that the current difficulties encountered by Chuncheng are temporary." ”

"Okay, don't pour ecstasy soup on me this old man, I know my problems very well, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for a capable person like you who is engaged in economics." Xia Wang exhaled a long green smoke, shook his head and sighed.

Chen Youwei was really stunned for a while, in his imagination, with a hard-line old man like Xia Wang at the helm of a place like Spring City, it must be a state where it is difficult for outsiders to enter the airtight.

I thought that Spring City really couldn't cover up the problem and was solved by the central high-level leaders, but I didn't expect that there was such an inside story behind this that was difficult for outsiders to understand.

"Kind of weird, isn't it?" Xia Wang's eyes were gloomy, and he sighed: "When I was still the director of the branch factory under the FAW in Chuncheng, I met Dong Lao, the national leader at that time, who came down to inspect and pointed out some untimely problems in the factory in front of so many leaders. ”

Chen Youwei was a little dumbfounded, the extremely powerful old man in front of him was completely unexpected by him.

"Maybe you've also heard that it was after that incident that my career in Spring City was on the rise, and it took just over ten years to get to the position of the current head of Spring City."

Xia Wang faintly looked at the thick clouds of sunlight outside the window and said: "Many people know that it is Dong Lao's appreciation of me that makes my career smooth, but they don't know that there is an agreement between me and Dong Lao at that time......

Chen Youwei subconsciously sat up straight, and for Dong Lao, the old man who also had a great appreciation for himself, he also had a kind of gratitude in his heart.

"More than ten years have passed, and now I am in a high position, from an ordinary department-level cadre to a vice-ministerial-level official in charge of a population of several million." Xia Wang snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, his eyes were moist, and he choked up: "Dong Lao has passed away, and the development of heavy industry in Spring City has not only not progressed in my hands, but has fallen into a swamp even more. I'm ashamed of Dong Lao's expectations of me! ”

Chen Youwei was silent, and Dong Lao's recent death made his heart feel heavy.

The empty office was filled with smoke, and after a long silence, Xia Wang returned to normalcy and said in a calm tone: "Others think that I, Xia Wang, am a donkey who only knows one way to the black, but they don't know that I Xia Wang, even if it is just to fulfill a small agreement that Dong Lao gave me back then, I will make some changes." ”

"It's just that I didn't expect Vice Premier Hong to let such a vigorous young man as Comrade Youwei come, which really surprised me!"

Xia Wang stared at Chen Youwei who fell into silence with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "If you really want to say it, I, Xia Wang, really have a good face, and I can let you, Comrade Chen Youwei, the creator of the miracle of Yicheng back then, personally solve the problem of Chuncheng, I think Vice Premier Hong must have spent a lot of effort." ”

Looking up at Xia Wang, who had a strange smile in his eyes, Chen Youwei sighed in his heart, these old guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, and it is estimated that Xia Wang has already mastered his background.

However, this is fine, Chen Youwei calculated in his heart, at this level, he really wants to hide his situation, which is indeed unrealistic.

Judging from the half-star situation revealed by Xia Wang, it is obvious that he is the cadre of Dong Lao's faction.

And although Hong Yan, the vice premier of the Government Council, is not the faction of Dong Lao, but he can take the initiative to find Hong Yan for help, it is obvious that the relationship behind Xia Wang is definitely not as simple as he said.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the problem of Chuncheng is not solved, it will not only seriously affect the operation of the entire Northeast heavy industry, but also if the problem in Chuncheng continues to deteriorate, it will inevitably affect the whole country." Xia Wang's expression was solemn, and he lit a cigarette by himself, and his tone was heavy.

"What are Secretary Xia's plans?" Chen Youwei was concise and asked straight to the point.

Xia Wang turned his head to stare at Chen Youwei, and said with a slight smile: "I should ask this!" ”

Chen Youwei touched his chin and muttered: "In the final analysis, the problem of state-owned enterprises in Chuncheng is still a kind of transformation from a planned economic system to a socialist market economic system, which has produced too many inadaptability. If you want to make the current situation of a large number of state-owned enterprises reverse their losses and passivity, it is obviously not possible to make bold moves and only want to pin on small actions to mend the seams. ”

Xia Wang's expression was solemn, and he took a big sip of his cigarette, he naturally knew what the meaning behind the kind of drastic changes that Chen Youwei said.

"The problems of Chuncheng state-owned enterprises are not only internal problems of the enterprise, but also the various influences of the general environment, including Chuncheng City and even Liaobei Province, on him."

Chen Youwei continued: "If we want to make the state-owned enterprises in Chuncheng rejuvenate the second spring, some relevant administrative systems within the city should also be reformed accordingly. ”

Xia Wang didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so sober-minded, and even sober made him feel an incomprehensible faint worry.

"Comrade Youwei, isn't this too big a move?"

Xia Wang was a little worried, no matter how much he raised his hands in favor of economic reform, but if he wanted to take action on the administrative system, he was somewhat hesitant to be conservative.

Chen Youwei was not dissatisfied with Xia Wang's reaction, and chuckled and said, "We already know the root of the problem, and our next problem is to solve the problem." Besides, what the superiors want to see is the final result of our problem-solving, and as for the rest, it is just the experience of feeling the stones and crossing the river, and I think for the superiors, the attempts we have made are not what they want to see! ”

"Now we don't have much choice of path and time, and fighting against the odds may be our only capital!"

Chen Youwei exhaled faint green smoke, looked at the sunlight gap outside the window where the clouds were getting bigger and bigger, and smiled knowingly.
