Lu Zhengdong got the news about his whereabouts from the courtyard he was familiar with and unfamiliar with.

The old * man didn't tell him anything about his work, just wrote there Finally, the old * master put down the brush in his hand, Lu Zhengdong leaned over, and there were only two words on the white rice paper on the desk: guard against arrogance.

Lu Zhengdong looked at these two words silently, the skill of the word is obviously not as good as those calligraphers, and even some old leaders who have a deep knowledge of calligraphy, but the meaning of this Lu Zhengdong understands that the old man does not very much agree with him sitting in such a position now, but he feels that this is an opportunity, if the old man does not agree or acquiesce, I am afraid that this matter will be stopped as soon as it is raised.

Lu Zhengdong also knows the old man's true thoughts, the old man's age is there, and no one can resist the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death, the old man's idea is to be able to help him get on the horse and send him on a ride before going to see Max, so he reluctantly agreed to this matter.

The old * master's expression did not show joy, but was still a little dignified, and in addition to the dignified, there was also an indescribable feeling.

He went up, which means that Yun Weixi's chances of going further are very slim, and he and Yun Weixi's palms and backs of their hands are meat, so their emotions are so complicated......

Coming out of the courtyard, Lu Zhengdong was also thinking silently, he was also very surprised to return to Beihu, in his estimation, the west was his first place, but he didn't expect the central government to decide that he would go to Beihu.

Transferring him back to Beihu is by no means just because Yang Lingfeng has been in the position of governor of Beihu for too long, nor is it completely the result of compromise. Or maybe that's not the main reason. Such a compromise looks like a step back. In fact, it is for the sake of further, based on a deeper consideration -- that is, the rise of the central region.

Since the reform and opening up, due to the implementation of the unbalanced development strategy, some areas have first become rich, which has achieved the vast number of provinces and cities in the east and along the coast; The large-scale development of the western region has nothing to do with Beihu, so every strategic development of the country has passed by Beihu.

Central China and Beihu have never stood on the same starting line as other regions and competed fairly. The economy of the central region and Beihu Lake has gradually become incapable under the attack of the four directions of the southeast, the northwest and the northwest. Even if we buck the trend, we can only barely maintain the gap from widening sharply. If it weren't for An Xin, Beihu would have been even more difficult.

In view of such a situation, although the central region must be subordinated to the overall situation, at the same time, the cadres and masses in the central region also have some ideas and views in their hearts, and in order to balance such development, the strategy of the rise of the central region has become inevitable.

Therefore, this is an important topic to be raised and discussed at the upcoming two sessions.

The implementation of the strategy of the rise of the central part of the country is actually to give the policy an opportunity for fair development. Policies that are available in other regions. There will also be policies and innovations in the central part of the country, which are not available in other regions. The central region, including Bei Lake, should try its best to create zào conditions for it, and as for the results, it will be up to the eight immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers.

As one of the most important provinces in central China, the central government hopes that Beihu can make a difference, and his task is to seize the opportunity, advance in the face of difficulties, and turn the hard-won fair development opportunities into competitive advantages and growth advantages, and strive to soar to the sky. In this way, Beihu Lake can play a supporting role in building the central part of the country, thereby driving the comprehensive and rapid economic and social development of the central region.

The first thing that Lu Zhengdong thought of was how to position Beihu in the strategy of rising in the central region, and only with accurate positioning could it be possible to seize the opportunity and advance by leaps and bounds.

Looking at the central provinces, it is fair to say that only Hubei has the possibility of becoming the growth pole and growth center of the central region, and only Beihu can become the secondary center of gradient development.

Beihu Lake is located in the center of the central region, with a unique geographical location, and is the intersection of east, west, north and south, with strong economic communication, radiation and interaction capabilities, which is convenient for the east to lead to the west and expand from the south to the north.

Beihu is located in the transition zone between the high economic gradient in the coastal area and the low economic gradient in the west, and is in a favorable position in undertaking the transfer of domestic and foreign industries, and also has the advantage of "being close to the water and getting the first month" in the use of western resources and entering the western market.

More importantly, Beihu is the country's heavy industry base, and the industrial infrastructure is unparalleled in the central region.

Beihu is also a province with a large number of universities and scientific research personnel in the country, with abundant human resources and strong scientific and technological force. Most of the regional centres of the state-administered agencies are located in Beihu, which facilitates coordination and cooperation with the central provinces.

If the country wants to select and cultivate the central development pole, it must be Beihu. But then again, although Beihu has many advantages and possibilities to develop into a growth pole in the central part of the country, it is long and short.

The gap between the central provinces is not large, the advantages are not obvious, everyone has their own characteristics, such as other adjacent to the Pearl River Delta, adjacent to the Yangtze River Delta also have their advantages and so on. The central provinces have the opportunity to become central centers and sub-centers of the national economy.

In this regard, Lu Zhengdong also has a sense of urgency and crisis, sailing against the current, retreating if he does not advance, and advancing bravely, striving to stand out in the strategy of the rise of the central region and become a well-deserved core of the central region and the pole of growth in the central region, otherwise he will miss the opportunity.

And to make a difference, the ideological concept is very important, Beihu Province has outstanding people, rich products, solid foundation, rich human resources, strong industrial foundation, and unique geographical advantages, big transportation, big energy, big steel, big automobiles, big business, big universities are everywhere, everything, other provinces in the central region, and even the provinces in the eastern region are beyond reach.

But why hasn't Bay Lake been fully developed?

It stands to reason that under such conditions, the development of Beihu Lake should at least be better than that of other provinces in central China, which is not the case.

In many respects, Bay Lake lags behind the rest of the central region. Outsiders are very puzzled, what is the reason?

Others don't understand, but Lu Zhengdong has worked in Beihu for several years, and has the deepest feeling, Beihu lacks nothing, the time and place are all right, but the lack of people's lives, what is lacking is the innovative spirit of reform and opening up, and what is lacking is the risk spirit of "who else is me".

Lu Zhengdong was transferred to Beihu from other places, and one of the most direct feelings after entering Beihu Lake was that the people of Hubei were relatively conservative in their thinking, their concepts were rather outdated, and they lacked the spirit of daring to break new ground and dare to do things. There are mainly five tables: one is arrogant and high, resting on its laurels; the second is to stick to the old ways and copy rigid routines; the third is to be at peace with the encounter, and the small wealth is happy; fourth, short-sighted, opportunistic; Fifth, there is a strong sense of official position, and it is difficult to be realistic only in books.

The mentality of smallholder farmers and the consciousness of inland are unobstructed at a glance, and it is breathtaking.

Beihu has a long way to go to emancipate the mind and change the concept. Ideology and concepts are the biggest problem of Beihu, and they are also the biggest challenge to meet the strategy of the rise of central China.

The world is not changing wonderfully, as long as you change your brain, change your thinking, you will change the world.

"Emancipate the mind, exchange gold for food; Emancipate the mind, ten thousand taels of gold". It is true that concept is the precursor of action, and concept is productivity. The strategy of the rise of the central part of the country, the opportunity favors Hubei, but if the mind is not emancipated and the concept is not changed, it is difficult to seize the opportunity to throw the "red hydrangea".

And even if there is a change in thinking, it still has to meet the challenges of the market.

The strategy of the rise of central China is a new strategy under the guidance of the scientific outlook on development, which is an important part of the scientific outlook on development in the pursuit of fair and just competition, the pursuit of regional economic integration, and the fight against local protection and self-centeredness.

Many enterprises in Beihu are at ease under the banner of local protection, leisurely and happy, do not want to forge ahead, the production cost remains high, and the product is updated like a turtle crawling snail. How can companies that rely on protection to steal survive independently cope with market competition? How can you survive adversity?

This is the real challenge of Beihu in the face of the strategy of the rise of the central region and the external competition.

Enterprises under the care of swaddling clothes, industries under preferential policies, and products under the protection of barriers, once they take off the protective umbrella and are forced to open the market, they will be at a loss and retreat. Free trade, fair competition, mighty, irreversible, relying on layers of protection to maintain the survival of enterprises, the gains outweigh the losses, relying on trade protection to develop the idea, will eventually come to naught. Chronic diseases require strong medicine. Facing up to local protection, removing barriers, strengthening strong and weak branches, and facing competition are the top priorities of Beihu.

Another challenge facing Beihu Lake is that the economic structure is irrational, and the optimization process of the economic structure is lower than the national level and lower than the world average at the same stage of development. First of all, the proportion of added value of state-owned and state-controlled enterprises with an irrational ownership structure is 70 percent, much higher than the national average, 50 percent higher than that of the coastal areas, and nearly 30 percent higher than that of the provinces in the central region.

The high proportion of state-owned enterprises shows that the Beihu enterprises have accumulated many defects and the task of changing the ownership structure is extremely arduous.

The excessively high proportion of state-owned enterprises also reflects the underdevelopment of the private and private economies.

This leads to an irrational economic structure, with the primary industry being too high and the tertiary industry being too low. As far as industry is concerned, the proportion of heavy industry is too high, and the development of light industry is insufficient.

The high proportion of heavy industry in Beihu is due to the country's industrial layout in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but Beihu Lake has not gone through the stage of rapid development of light industry, and the development of light industry is not perfect, and this structure does not help Beihu the biggest problem -- the transfer of rural labor force and the reemployment of unemployed workers.

Finally, the employment structure is not coordinated, and the structural problem is the core of the economic problem, which is a major challenge that Beihu must face in the strategy of rising in the central region, and it is also a challenge for Lu Zhengdong......

And whether he can deal with these challenges is the key to whether he can succeed in taking office, although he is placed in the position of executive vice governor as a candidate for governor, but as long as he is not formally appointed, there are still great variables, which Lu Zhengdong is naturally very clear, and the pressure is naturally still a little ......
