Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Wind of the General
Zhou Shuming saw that Lu Zhengdong was also listening very carefully, and was obviously thinking about what he said very seriously, so he continued:
"The central government is now paying more and more attention to the quality of development, and the development should make the people feel that they really benefit from it, which is a good thing and necessary, but for Beihu, this requires a process ......."
Lu Zhengdong nodded:
"Our responsibility is to push Beihu to catch up, and if there is too much change in policy, it will lead to chaos and people below are at a loss, my idea is not other, but to take into account, we are now lagging behind, this is certainly not a good thing, but from another point of view, it is not entirely a bad thing, which means that we do not have to take the old road of those developed areas, that is, development first and then governance, in fact, the price paid is destined to be very heavy, if we still take that old road, We have to bear the responsibility of history. ā
Lu Zhengdong paused for a moment before continuing:
"And a very real problem is that the foundation of Beihu is thin, the foundation is poor, but if you want to have a breakthrough in economic growth, this is not something that can be done in a short time, and it is more difficult to make a big breakthrough in the total economy, especially we have a few big burdens that can not be solved at once, we are desperate for a short period of time in economic growth, I am afraid it is very difficult to squeeze into the top ten in a short period of time, and now none of the top ten is not growing at a rate of more than 20, how many are we now? Kankan is just over 10 percent, which is almost all the strength to eat. As for the total economy, we are just playing a game with an identity like Shanqin and playing a game without tigers in the mountains......"
In fact, Lu Zhengdong already has a very good idea of the development of Beihu in the next few years, and he has a set of measures. Not to mention the top 10 economic aggregates. At least not lagged behind in terms of economic growth. But at this time, he will never show such information, but will do the opposite, only in this way can it be possible for Zhou Shuming to give up his radical and sequelae approach.
For the same purpose, how the meaning is expressed is very important, and the effect is completely different, which is the art of language, or the so-called emotional intelligence.
Lu Zhengdong's words were more tactful, but he believed that Zhou Shuming should be able to understand them completely. That is, blindly trying to find a way out in terms of economic growth and economic aggregate, which is actually not a good way out.
Then, in the case of not making major adjustments to the fundamental policies, it is easier to become a bright spot in a different way and highlight some new ideas.
After Zhou Shuming was slightly stunned, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Lu Zhengdong can grasp Zhou Shuming's mind very well, Zhou Shuming has been in Beihu for a little years, but to be precise, there are not many new changes in the development of Beihu, this is the biggest hidden pain in Zhou Shuming's heart, and Secretary Jiang just wants a smooth transition in the early stage. There's not much thought about anything else, let alone long-term planning. It can be said that in the past two years, under the influence of many objective factors, Anyuan has not really formed a decent development idea and plan, and time waits for no one, Zhou Shuming has now realized this.
Beihu is a province with a large population, but that's all, it is not an economically strong province, but due to the particularity of its large population, the arrangement of the successive secretaries of the provincial party committee is still good compared with some other identities. If he can't come up with something eye-catching in the next few years, Zhou Shuming may need to consider whether he will break the precedent after stepping down in this position.
Yang Lingfeng still went to the Third Construction Office as the director, if he was sent to the Party History Office as the eighth or ninth deputy director, even if others were unfortunate, I am afraid he would feel disgusted.
That's why Zhou Shuming is so urgent, trying to figure out the GDP and fiscal revenue, as well as some big projects and big projects that attract the attention of the world, to be recognized by the central government, and he hopes to realize his will in a more rational, truly sustainable way that can really bring out the scientific concept of development.
But this difference finally comes down to a general direction, that is, I hope that Beihu can catch up as much as possible.
This is also a foundation, is the point of convergence between the two sides, it is precisely because of this that the two will carry out such exchanges and communication today, and the purpose is also to win the recognition and compromise of the other party to the greatest extent on this basis, which is reflected in the recent personnel adjustment arrangement, this is Lu Zhengdong's purpose, of course, Zhou Shuming also came with this purpose, which Lu Zhengdong also knows.
Compromise will be the final result and inevitable result, otherwise it will not be a political feature, but who really gains more in such a compromise, Lu Zhengdong is in the initiative in this regard, because although both of them need to do the same work in Beihu, relatively speaking, Zhou Shuming has been in the position of secretary of the provincial party committee after all, which is more urgent.
Zhou Shuming's pace has slowed down significantly, Lu Zhengdong's words are indeed a little attractive to him, Lu Zhengdong's meaning is actually very simple, that is, innovation, of course, this kind of innovation is by no means out of thin air, it should be Lu Zhengdong according to his observation that he has touched some of the thoughts of the main leaders of the high-level, some new proposals and new measures that may be in the near future, he also hopes that what Lu Zhengdong said can become a reality, even if it will have some blows to his self-esteem, but compared to the interests of politics, This is within the tolerable range, but playing a little word game on such a thing will definitely not escape the high-level fiery eyes, Lu Zhengdong must come up with something tangible in order to really convince him......
Lan Chaohua and Yang Qicheng sat in the pavilion, saying things such as that this year's Beihu winter is warmer than in previous years, while their eyes fell on Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong who were faint and faint in the distance from time to time.
He and Yang Qicheng are considered to be the bridge between the secretary and the governor, many times the two communicate first, and the smooth communication between the two people is also very large, so that the relationship between the provincial party committee and the provincial government will not be too frictional, although they are their own masters, but it also makes Lan Chaohua have a kind of sympathy for Yang Qicheng.
Lan Chaohua has done a lot of work to facilitate the in-depth exchange of views between Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong, and Yang Qicheng has also done a lot of work. Of course, the more important thing is that Lu Zhengdong has been to Beihu for some time. The mutual observation, temptation, mutual exploration, and preliminary run-in between the two are almost the same. Both Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong felt the need for such an in-depth exchange of views.
To be honest, Lan Chaohua still had a very reserved attitude towards Lu Zhengdong at the beginning, Lu Zhengdong can engage in the economy, but whether he can cope with such a complex situation is still very debatable in his opinion.
But as he got in touch with each other and observed more deeply, Lan Chaohua's views had changed a lot, and he admired Lu Zhengdong quite a lot.
Whether it is the executive vice governor, acting governor or officially elected governor. Lu Zhengdong is moving forward step by step without hurry, and he is not as arrogant and impatient as some young and ambitious young Zhuang factions, so he doesn't care about the feelings of the number one leader, and can't wait to prove himself. This point makes Lan Chaohua still think it is very good.
In particular, in handling the relationship with Zhou Shuming and other deputy secretaries and members of the Standing Committee, Lu Zhengdong neither restrained nor rashly advanced, and there were his insistences and concessions, in short, he also had different opinions and views with Zhou Shuming. However, it remained within a completely controllable range, and there was no rush to win over other members of the Standing Committee. So that Zhou Shuming will not feel excessively threatened and extremely dissatisfied, this is actually not handled very well by many provincial governors.
And Lu Zhengdong also has its own uniqueness in employing people, such as Yang Qicheng, the secretary general of the provincial government around him, the secretary general is the head of the leadership, as long as it is possible, everyone will use the most trusted person in the position of secretary general, but Lu Zhengdong did not do that, or continued to retain Yang Qicheng, Lu Zhengdong and Yang Qicheng had no intersection at all, naturally it is impossible to be the person Lu Zhengdong trusts, and An Xin is Lu Zhengdong's base, naturally there is no lack of trust in the secretary general. And there are a lot of opportunities to adjust Yang Qicheng out of the position of secretary general, but Lu Zhengdong did not do this, but adopted an attitude of using it for me.
This point was actually reflected in An Xin, Lu Zhengdong entered An alone, but he quickly absorbed Tang Zhongkai, You Jinzhong, An Junyi and others, as well as later Luo Fuli and so on, which is indeed a kind of ability.
And in the matter of He Yuandong, he was even more surprised, He Yuandong and Secretary Zhou are world friends, and it is impossible for Lu Zhengdong to be unclear, but Lu Zhengdong continues to be in the key position of director of the general staff.
Lu Zhengdong must also have some secrets that he doesn't want outsiders to know, or he uses other ways to avoid He Yuandong, but even so, Lu Zhengdong treats He Yuandong like this, showing a kind of self-confidence and a kind of bearing-He Yuandong's identity must be known a lot by the high-level officials, and such a gentleman's frank and unrestrained bearing must have also won Lu Zhengdong some points.
Moreover, in terms of employing people, many people are worried that there will be a "new gang", but in fact it did not happen, some of the backbone middle-level and potential new-generation officials in An Xin were indeed transferred out of An Xin, and there was no large-scale transfer of Anxin's high-level officials to the province, but after all, the level of such cadres is not high, and at the higher level, they are basically appointing people in accordance with the principle of meritocracy from all over the world.
Of course, An Xin's high-level leaders also have a channel for promotion, but not in Beihu Province, but to the outside, such as An Junyi, such as You Jinzhong, etc., which few people can have the same advantage as Lu Zhengdong.
However, even so, Lu Zhengdong is still very bold in being able to do this, and many people often have no bottom in their hearts when they reach the position of provincial governor, and they often arrange people from their base areas to some important departments in the province.
Lu Zhengdong is like this, and he can also add points to other leaders and high-level leaders in the province.
Another very important point is that Lu Zhengdong did not excessively tilt towards An Xin in terms of policies and funds, not to mention Lu Zhengdong's ability, which made the cadres and masses in other cities in the province, including the provincial capital Xiyuan, very satisfied. Of course, Lu Zhengdong's ability has been revealed in the past year or so, and it has also been preliminarily proven.
Lu Zhengdong has the style of a general, whether it is from the incumbent cadres or the old cadres, whether it is the cadres of An Xin or the cadres of other places, they are relatively satisfied, as for the high-level, the main leaders of the local provinces and cities and the important dynamics of the leading groups are basically aware of the situation, in such a situation, if there is a contradiction between the secretary and the provincial governor. Then I'm afraid that the high-level and below will have a very good opinion of Secretary Zhou.
Of course, Secretary Zhou has its advantages. It also has its weaknesses. Secretary Zhou is also a person with strong self-esteem, to put it mildly, it is a bit rigid and self-serving, not a light yƬ can make it change, to the level of the provincial party committee secretary, all have their political concepts, political ideas, their world view, and outlook on life. At this point, it is difficult for even a person as trusting as him to change some of his views.
The relationship between Lu Zhengdong and Zhou Shuming is undoubtedly a competitive relationship, and at the same time a kind of interdependence.
This is not Zhou Shuming or Lu Zhengdong's positioning of the relationship between each other, but Lan Chaohua's view, many people are just because this positioning is not decided, the secretary and the governor are in trouble and collapse, and the final result is that both sides lose, and there are many examples of this.
In Lan Chaohua's opinion, Zhou Shuming should have reflected on this after experiencing Yang Lingfeng's incident. As for Lu Zhengdong, in Lan Chaohua's opinion. Lu Zhengdong has always been in such a position, even if the two have differences on some important issues, at least they must maintain fighting with Zhou Shuming without breaking it, this should be Lu Zhengdong's bottom line, and I am afraid it is also Zhou Shuming's bottom line.
Because of this, Lan Chaohua felt that at this time, let the two of them talk directly alone, he believed that both of them understood the importance of the overall situation, the two giants have their own bottom line, and they have a roundabout circle.
Of course, although this is a process of communication, coordination and compromise, at the same time, in a sense, it is also the first real confrontation between the two after they have teamed up. And there may not be a zĆ i loser in such a confrontation, it is just who wins more......
Watching the two of them stroll softly, Lan Chaohua knew that his guess was correct.
But in fact, Lu Zhengdong and Zhou Shuming are far from being as relaxed as Lan Chaohua imagined, and sometimes it can even be said that they collide fiercely under the seemingly calm, with twists and turns.
Lu Zhengdong came up with a new concept of development, but this new concept must have detailed content to embody, and it is meaningless to talk to Zhou Shuming about those illusory economic concepts and the like, people like Zhou Shuming do not see rabbits and eagles, if you want to convince him, you have to come up with real things, and you can't play virtual.
Lu Zhengdong talked about some of his plans for the next two years in the next two years, and he talked very specifically, and many of them talked about how to implement them.
"Zhengdong, many of the development ideas you just put forward require large financial investment, Beihu is not as good as Anxin, even if Anxin is worse in the past few years, it is also a sub-provincial city with a foundation."
Zhou Shuming also went straight to the core of the problem.
"Money is spent when it is not enough, and this is the same whether it is a well-developed or poorly developed place. If you have abundant finances, you want to do bigger things, more things, so you feel that you don't have enough money. Therefore, in addition to financial funds, we will seek a wide range of financing channels, of course, financially developed regions have an advantage over us in this regard, but we are not without any means, we can also finance.
With the help of investment company financing, we can also invest in some strategic industries that our province focuses on developing, and support the formation of scale and industrial chain in these strategic industries, so as to accelerate the cultivation of leading industries in our province. Capital is always profit-seeking, always running towards the region and industry that maximizes profits, we have an industry that can be handled, there is a clear industrial plan, as long as these things are clearly expressed, so that they can really see that it is profitable, there is a really good investment environment, and they do not worry about not coming. ā
"You mean to borrow a chicken to lay eggs?"
Lu Zhengdong smiled and nodded:
"Yes, I agree with Secretary Zhou's point of view, for Beihu, it is far from enough to rely on itself. You have to borrow chickens to lay eggs and borrow boats to go to sea. No matter what way a place develops, no matter what measures are taken, in the final analysis, one of the most important factors that ultimately drives development is finance.
The introduction of projects and the introduction of enterprises is actually ultimately based on this, but this kind of financing or introduction of funds is carried out in accordance with our planning and general direction, so that one avoids repeated investment, and the other is that the environmental risk and the risk of damaging the interests of many people will be reduced a lot and become much more controllable. ā
Zhou Shuming nodded thoughtfully, and said that Lu Zhengdong has a broad mind, flexible thinking, and a thorough study of economic aspects, which can be seen from these aspects, this may not be the idea that Lu Zhengdong can conceive alone, but presumably the main principle is still Lu Zhengdong's own thinking.
Moreover, Lu Zhengdong's previous economic achievements have also made him a golden sign to attract funds.
Zhou Shuming couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart, he felt that Lu Zhengdong would talk to him about some ambitious development plans today, but Lu Zhengdong's plan was still beyond his imagination.
Maybe Lu Zhengdong felt that this was an opportunity, and the conversation was quite frank, even if it was not really heart-to-heart, at least it was very sincere.
And Lu Zhengdong is really good at talking, always talking about some of his general directions, even if he has different views on some ideas, and there are collisions and arguments between the two on some issues, but Lu Zhengdong can always use a very casual method to eliminate his antagonism and achieve great harmony to the greatest extent......
