As for the main contractor, Hongda Group, they would naturally not refuse to let such a strong team in, because in the smart city plan, Hongda Group has no idea at all and can only take one step at a time. With Lu Hongtu guiding the way, they can avoid detours and if they make a wrong step, they can correct it in time.
The atmosphere in the conference room of Building No. 1 was solemn. Fang Zhicheng sat in a row of seats near the door and listened in. Sitting at the large table in the center were provincial government leaders. They were discussing Document No. 48, "Several Opinions of the Huainan Provincial People's Government on Accelerating the Construction of Strategic Emerging Industries," which would soon be issued by the government.
This opinion is based on the National Development and Reform Commission's document No. 32, "Decision of the State Council on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries". The document requires that by 2015, the added value of strategic emerging industries should account for about 8% of the gross domestic product.
Strategic emerging industries include energy conservation and environmental protection, new generation information technology, biology, high-end equipment manufacturing industry, new energy, new materials, new energy vehicle industry, etc. Judging from the current level of Huainan Province, there is still a long way to go to achieve the goal.
Fang Zhicheng had done some research before. Taking Yinzhou Industrial Park, where high-tech industries are concentrated, as an example, there are no more than 30 companies that have reached the standards of strategic emerging industries, and no more than 100 companies in the whole province. With such low fundamentals, it is very difficult to complete the task. The National Development and Reform Commission has a heavy responsibility in this work, as both a planner, coordinator and supervisor.
Shen Hanchun sat on the right side of the conference table. He ranked relatively high among the department-level cadres. There were several familiar people in the conference room, such as Xia Lanshan, who was promoted from the Secretary of the Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee. Before the meeting started, he took the initiative to exchange a few words with him. Judging from his condition, he seemed to be much older than when he was in Hanzhou. Obviously, the work of the provincial government made him lose something.
After Executive Vice Governor Zhao Guoyi read through the document, Shen Hanchun was the first to express his opinion.
Shen Hanchun's speech in this kind of occasion was obviously different from his private communication. His originally wrinkled face was now glowing red, as if he had taken stimulants.
Shen Hanchun's voice was very loud. "The document issued by the state this time is of great guiding significance. Although industrial manufacturing is still the pillar industry of the national economy, its proportion will continue to decline in the future. Last year, Huaigang and Huaidian suffered serious losses and overcapacity. They had to fight a fierce price war with other peers. Although they won in the end, it was a tragic victory. On this basis, it is urgent for Huainan to cultivate emerging industries. Zhejiang Province began to lay out two years ago, relying on the development of e-commerce, and the structural transformation has been very successful. Although we have also noticed this field and built an Internet industry base in Hanzhou, we are still one step behind and have not seen any results for the time being. The main reason is that local cadres have not yet formed awareness. The times are changing too fast, and people are caught off guard. If we don't make efforts, it will be too late..."
Shen Hanchun's speech was well-paced and clearly well-prepared. Fang Zhicheng could see clearly that Document No. 32 issued by the National Development and Reform Commission was a good training opportunity for him. Shen Hanchun's first battle after taking office would probably be here.
According to common sense, Fang Zhicheng, as the director of a department of the National Development and Reform Commission, is not qualified to attend this meeting. However, today's meeting is closely related to the High-tech Industry Department, focuses on strategic emerging industries, and is closely related to Fang Zhicheng's responsibilities.
On this occasion, Fang Zhicheng had no right to speak, so he set his eyes on the leaders sitting at the round table, observing and trying to figure out what these leaders were thinking.
After a round of speeches, Fang Zhicheng roughly guessed the situation.
The Huainan provincial government is mainly divided into three forces. The first is the newcomers, represented by Wei Qun; the second is the provincial party secretary faction, represented by Jiang Yong; and the third is the former governor's forces, represented by Zhao Guoyi.
Everyone's speeches were mostly ceremonial, but if you study them carefully, you can analyze a few things. Governor Wei Qun believes that it is necessary to set up a "Strategic Emerging Industry Development Leading Group Office"; Jiang Yong believes that this matter can be postponed, because the Development and Reform Commission has been focusing on strategic emerging industries, and the establishment of a high-tech industry department covers this responsibility; Zhao Guoyi is playing Tai Chi, neither expressing support nor vetoing. Zhao Guoyi has always been a Congolese, but the current situation in the province is not favorable to him, so he can only avoid the limelight for the time being.
The meeting did not produce any results and ended unhappily. After the meeting, Shen Hanchun waved to Fang Zhicheng, who quickly followed him and came to Wei Qun's office.
Wei Qun is a person who likes to smoke very much, but he will restrain himself and never smoke during meetings. After entering the office, he will feel the urge to smoke. He lights a cigarette and it is half burned in a while.
Fang Zhicheng sat on the sofa with a smile on his face. He knew that Wei Qun was watching him.
After Wei Qun finished smoking a cigarette, he coughed for a while, sat on the sofa opposite Fang Zhicheng and Shen Hanchun, and said, "Today's meeting was as expected. Jiang Yong reacted violently, and Zhao Guoyi sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. It is still very difficult to set up this leadership group."
Shen Hanchun smiled faintly and said, "The key is that other provinces have not taken any action yet. Huainan has always been a follower, so it is difficult to promote it. Jiang Yong's intention was clear today. Let's see whether to communicate at the Standing Committee."
Wei Qun waved his hands and said unhappily, "The provincial government has only set up a steering group in response to the instructions of the State Council document. Does such a small matter have to be brought to the Standing Committee?"
Shen Hanchun nodded and sighed, "Should we let Secretary Wen know?"
Wei Qun's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said in a deep voice: "For such routine work, we need to communicate with each other. You can imagine how low the work efficiency is!"
Wei Qun's words here have made it clear that the "Strategic Emerging Industry Development Leading Group Office" must be established. As Wei Qun said, in fact, the establishment of this group is not a big deal. The leading group is a framework to coordinate the Development and Reform Commission, the Economic and Information Commission, the Education Department, the Human Resources and Social Security Department, the Science and Technology Department, the Finance Department, the Land and Resources Department, the Commerce Department, the Statistics Bureau, the Financial Office and other departments. In the final analysis, it is not to create more positions out of thin air, but to transfer personnel based on the existing personnel.
The reason why Wei Qun promoted the establishment of this group was that he hoped to have a handle to consolidate the work of the provincial government. As long as this leading group was used well, it would be possible to quickly understand the depth of the provincial government departments at all levels.
Jiang Yong also knew Wei Qun's intention, but he knew his identity, that he was a thorn in the provincial government and a weapon used by Wen Jinglong to restrain Wei Qun. So Jiang Yong intended to bring this matter to the Standing Committee for discussion, and use Wen Jinglong's power to suppress Wei Qun's use of the establishment of a strategic emerging industry development leading group to achieve the purpose of training troops.
Fang Zhicheng felt that he was a little redundant here. Every word of communication between Wei Qun and Shen Hanchun fell into his ears. He could only smile modestly to show that he was listening carefully.
Wei Qun finally decided to give Fang Zhicheng a chance and said calmly, "Zhicheng, do you think it is necessary to establish a leading group for the development of strategic emerging industries?"
Fang Zhicheng paused and smiled, "Governor Wei, of course I support this resolution. The development of emerging industries is a long and arduous task, especially when it comes to implementation at the local level. If the provincial government does not arrange personnel to supervise and promote it, even if Document No. 48 is issued, it will probably be just a formality."
Wei Qun was very satisfied with Fang Zhicheng's answer. He smiled and nodded, and said to Shen Hanchun: "The executive deputy team leader you recommended to me seems to have understood the importance of his work."
Fang Zhicheng's mind quickly started to work. The Strategic Emerging Industry Development Leading Group Office was to be established in the Provincial Government Office, and the director would be a deputy secretary-general. As for the executive deputy director, the Development and Reform Commission should arrange a deputy department-level cadre to participate. However, he was only at the director-level, which was not high enough.
Chapter 0866: The Organization Department Raises Gu and Selects Generals
Shen Hanchun and Wei Qun obviously had more to say, so Fang Zhicheng tactfully said goodbye first. Coming out of the governor's office, Fang Zhicheng walked from Building No. 1 to Building No. 3. The camphor trees on the roadside had withered branches and leaves, and the setting sun shone on the red brick walls, exuding a solemn atmosphere. Fang Zhicheng walked slowly, trying to figure out what Wei Qun and Shen Hanchun were up to today.
The answer was obvious. He was afraid that he would have to move up from the director level, and at the same time, as the director of the Development and Reform Commission, he would serve as the executive deputy director of the leadership group office. He had just been in the Development and Reform Commission for half a year, and the High-tech Industry Department was originally a temporary stay. Fang Zhicheng was definitely going to move up, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
Fang Zhicheng is already familiar with the work of the Development and Reform Commission. Now that he has been assigned to be the deputy director, he will be able to adapt to the position quickly as long as he gets a little familiarity with it.
The key promoter was, as expected, Shen Hanchun, who recommended himself to Governor Wei. Of course, there were deeper reasons. Wei Qun seemed to be trying to win over Song Wendi.
In Wei Qun's view, both the executive vice governor Zhao Guoyi and the provincial party secretary's favorite Jiang Yong are more threatening than Song Wendi. Because their powers and responsibilities intersect with Wei Qun's, and because of the intertwined interests, there will be games and struggles. Song Wendi is the secretary of the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee and focuses more on the development of Qiongjin.
The secretary of the provincial capital city's municipal party committee has a lot of weight in the standing committee. If Wei Qun can use Song Wendi, he will not be so embarrassed when facing Wen Jinglong again, and his control over the power of the provincial government will also be helped. Wei Qun used a trick to promote Fang Zhicheng and indirectly showed his goodwill to Song Wendi.
Fang Zhicheng should have been happy, but he felt heavy in his heart because he had once again become a pawn in the game between high-level officials. This feeling of powerlessness, like a rope, bound him tightly.
Fang Zhicheng knew that only by becoming stronger could he escape from his current situation.
In addition to Shen Hanchun and Wei Qun, there was one more person in the governor's office, Liang Rui, the deputy secretary general of the provincial government. Liang Rui was already fifty years old and was one of Shen Hanchun's few good friends. After Wei Qun became the governor, he placed great importance on Liang Rui under the guidance of Shen Hanchun.
If a leading group for strategic emerging industries is established, Liang Rui will be the best choice to serve as the director of this office.
Wei Qun expressed his determination to win the resolution. "Although Huainan's economic development has always been in the first camp in the country, it still seems too small-minded in the layout of economic strategy. The important responsibility of establishing this leading group is to make the whole province aware of the importance of emerging industries and truly promote the establishment of emerging industries in Huainan."
Liang Rui nodded and agreed: "If a leading group is not established, the document will be nothing more than a piece of paper. To achieve real results, there must be a promoter. Governor Wei, please rest assured that if the responsibility falls on my shoulders, I will definitely do my best."
Wei Qun smiled faintly and said, "The executive deputy director has also been selected. It is Fang Zhicheng from the High-tech Industry Department of the Development and Reform Commission. What do you think?"
