This guy must have found something against the two of them. Fang Zhicheng was very familiar with Zhang Xiaoliang's ability. Zhang Xiaoliang would not tell the specific reason, and Fang Zhicheng would not ask. The two of them already had a good tacit understanding.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary for now. Let's not cause any more trouble to Director Shen. Just give them a warning."
Chapter 0872 Necessary Working Understanding
The gorgeous crystal chandelier emits soft light, the golden floor tiles are bright and spotless, and the inaugural meeting of the Huainan Province Strategic Emerging Industry Development Leading Group is being held in the Chunyuan Taoli Hall on the third floor of the Qiongjin City Conference Center. The meeting was chaired by Executive Vice Governor Zhao Guoyi, and Governor Wei Qun attended the meeting and delivered a speech.
Wei Qun said: "Huainan Province has entered a turning point in its development. In order to maintain rapid development in the new era, it must focus on the exploration and cultivation of emerging industries. The establishment of a strategic emerging industry development leading group is to hope that under the guidance of the group, Huainan Province's emerging industries can smoothly usher in new growth points. This leading group is different from any previous one. This is not a formality, but a practical implementation. I hope that the members of the leading group, with Comrade Liang Rui as the core, will implement the work in a practical manner and must not shirk their responsibilities..."
Wei Qun's speech lasted for a long time, about an hour. Everyone present knew that the reason it took so long was because the new governor attached great importance to the establishment of this leading group.
Every year the government sets up a leading group to promote policies, but some leading groups are just a formality. Members of the leading groups of various institutions usually play more of a correspondent role, passing on information and conveying the government's work to the corresponding institutions.
However, special departments such as the Strategic Emerging Industry Development Leading Group cannot be dealt with so carelessly. This involves the long-term work of various functional departments of the provincial government. According to the relevant requirements of the document, units at all levels may even have to set up additional departments.
Liang Rui, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government and Director of the Leading Group Office, elaborated on the work responsibilities of the leading group one by one. First, the leader of the leading group is Wei Qun, and the deputy leaders are Zhao Guoyi, Executive Vice Governor, and Wang Dakai, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. The rest of the group members are all department-level cadres, including the main leaders of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Economic and Information Commission, the Provincial Education Department, the Provincial Human Resources and Social Security Department, the Provincial Science and Technology Department, the Provincial Finance Department, the Provincial Land and Resources Department, the Provincial Commerce Department, the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, the Provincial Statistics Bureau, the Provincial Financial Office, and the Provincial Intellectual Property Office.
Under the leadership of the Provincial Leading Group for Promoting the Development of Strategic Emerging Industries, the office plays a coordinating role and coordinates the implementation of the leading group's work on promoting the development of strategic emerging industries. Liang Rui serves as the director of the office, while Fang Zhicheng serves as the executive deputy director of the office.
The provincial leading departments should set up development tracking and promotion groups for the ten strategic emerging industries, which will be responsible for the preparation, improvement and follow-up services of special promotion plans, conduct in-depth research on related industries, fully understand their development progress and latest trends, regularly report relevant work progress to the leading group and the office, and put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.
The team members and the actual office are two different concepts. An inappropriate analogy is that the leading group is a cage that pulls the department-level cadres into the cage so that all units can pay great attention to it. The office is the department responsible for daily operations. It is impossible to let team members such as Governor Wei to promote daily work. Specific matters must be handed over to the people below.
However, relevant briefings on strategic emerging industries must be sent to each team member on a regular basis so that the heads of these departments can be aware of the latest developments in the office at any time.
Liang Rui and Fang Zhicheng had met privately before. Liang Rui was mainly responsible for coordinating the connection between various departments, while Fang Zhicheng was mainly responsible for practical work, such as organizing the formulation of development plans, promotion plans and annual action plans for strategic emerging industries; compiling investment guidelines for special funds and venture capital funds for strategic emerging industries; organizing project application and review; and formulating management methods for the use of funds.
According to the data from the previous survey, the key projects of strategic emerging industries will have to complete a total investment of 100 billion yuan in 2011, mainly covering the fields of computers, the entire aviation industry chain, the pharmaceutical industry, high-end equipment, data development and processing, new energy vehicles, new materials, etc. Generally speaking, the government's special fund support for enterprises is 5% to 8%, which means that the total amount of special funds is 5 to 8 billion yuan.
If we look at the function of the leading group more intuitively, it is that the government takes out a sum of money from the fiscal budget to invest in potential enterprises in order to promote the development of strategic emerging industries. For the leading group office, they have the approval power of billions of funds. This amount of money is very considerable. For example, the high-tech industry department has a total amount of funds controlled each year of only 30 to 40 billion yuan.
This project fund is different from other project funds, which means that if an enterprise can obtain special funds for the development of high-tech industries, it can also apply for special funds for the development of strategic emerging industries and enjoy the support of two different special funds from the government.
Of course, relatively speaking, it is a little more difficult to obtain special funds for the development of strategic emerging industries. According to the initial planning, one hundred key enterprises will be selected from the province each year, and priority will be given to supporting these key enterprises.
Many companies do not know the importance of studying national funding policies. From the national to provincial and municipal governments, all levels of government have set up special funds in different fields to stimulate the development of local industries. For example, if you open a restaurant, you can enjoy the special guidance funds for the service industry; if you run a manufacturing plant and have your own invention patents, you can apply for the special guidance funds for the manufacturing industry...
For an enterprise with an investment of 10 million yuan, if it successfully applies for guidance funds, it will be able to obtain about 700,000 yuan of government support. This amount of money is actually pure profit, and does not need to be deducted or repaid. However, many companies are not aware of the government's policies, so they ignore this aspect.
In fact, any enterprise, no matter how big or small, can discover some highlights as long as it is carefully sorted out, and then packaged and applied through certain channels, it can obtain guidance funds. The threshold is not high.
The Strategic Emerging Industries Development Leading Group is highly valued by Wei Qun because the funds are not simply from the provincial fiscal budget, but are obtained by him using his connections in the National Development and Reform Commission. Whether the Leading Group Office can stimulate the development of strategic emerging industries in the province is related to Wei Qun's actual political achievements.
After the meeting, Liang Rui asked Fang Zhicheng to stay and the two discussed the next steps. The leadership group office was located in Building No. 1 of the provincial government. In addition to Liang Rui's office, Fang Zhicheng also had an office, and there were three general offices. However, Fang Zhicheng usually worked in the office of the Development and Reform Commission in Building No. 3. The office was planned to have eight staff, but now, in addition to the director and deputy director, only three people are in place, and there are three vacancies.
Liang Rui entered the office and started brewing Kung Fu tea. It was obvious that Liang Rui had been brewing tea for many years, so his technique was very sophisticated. Fang Zhicheng took a cup of tea and took a sip. The aged Pu'er tea tasted rich and fragrant, and the mouth was sweet. He couldn't help but praise, "Good tea."
Liang Rui smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Comrade Zhicheng, our work has just begun after the meeting. What do you think?"
Fang Zhicheng knew Liang Rui. He was a relatively low-key government secretary-general. He used to be a writer from the provincial government secretariat and had a deep understanding of economic theory. Taking the various materials at today's meeting as an example, they can be described as flawless.
Fang Zhicheng knew that he had already had an idea in mind, so he smiled and said, "Secretary Liang, you are the general and I am the soldier. You tell me what we should do, and I will just follow your orders and move forward."
Liang Rui was very satisfied with Fang Zhicheng's attitude. He had only been in contact with Fang Zhicheng for a few days. During the preparation for the meeting, he asked him to draft the documents. He found that Fang Zhicheng had a good foundation and there were almost no obvious mistakes in the materials handed over to him. According to his understanding, even in the Secretariat, if you are not forty years old, it is rare to have Fang Zhicheng's level. A glimpse of the whole picture shows that Fang Zhicheng can sit in the position of deputy director at a young age. On the one hand, it is because of his special status, and on the other hand, it is closely related to his ability.
Liang Rui waved his hand and sighed, "Now many people are looking at us, and even more are just waiting for the show. If we don't achieve some substantial results with the billions of guiding funds, we will be held accountable."
Fang Zhicheng knew why Liang Rui felt so stressed, and smiled faintly: "Secretary Liang, as long as the best steel is used on the blade, why should we be afraid of not getting results?"
Liang Rui was silent for a moment, then glanced at Fang Zhicheng's face and asked, "Has anyone taken the initiative to find you recently?"
Fang Zhicheng remained calm. He understood what Liang Rui meant. Now that there was suddenly so much more money, both the local government and the companies would probably make a move.
Fang Zhicheng said truthfully: "Not yet."
Liang Rui coughed and said, "If there is any, we might as well inform each other in advance so that we can be prepared."
Fang Zhicheng knew Liang Rui's thoughts. Liang Rui was dividing the benefits in advance, but this was reasonable. Liang Rui knew that although he was the director of the leadership group office, he would have to refer to Fang Zhicheng's opinions more in the future project review. Fang Zhicheng had the High-tech Industry Department, and most of the strategic emerging industries were transformed from high-tech industries. He needed to rely on Fang Zhicheng's power, but he also had to divide his own piece of land.
Fang Zhicheng was not the kind of person who didn't know how to adapt. He nodded quickly and said, "Director Liang, please rest assured. All the lists of alternative projects will be given to you to decide."
Liang Rui looked at Fang Zhicheng and saw that he did not seem to be pretending. He nodded with satisfaction and changed the subject to talk about other things, as if what just happened was just an episode.
Chapter 0873: Another Kind of Pressure
Everyone has selfish desires, especially when they have resources in their hands. When distributing them, it is inevitable that they will be affected by the closeness of the relationship, and Fang Zhicheng is no exception.
For example, there are two companies, one with whom you have had contact, and the other with whom you have never met. When their project plans are submitted to you, if the two companies operate roughly the same product types, although the latter company has higher qualifications than the former, if you have to choose between the two, you are more likely to prefer the familiar company.
Liang Rui and Fang Zhicheng mentioned the matter of communication because they hoped to leave a back door for the company they were familiar with. This was reasonable. However, Liang Rui was so straightforward with Fang Zhicheng that it seemed a little inappropriate. This showed that Liang Rui was not confident in Fang Zhicheng and was worried that he was too impulsive when doing things because he was young. If something went wrong, he would be afraid of losing face.
However, Fang Zhicheng's answer to Liang Rui was not naive. He did not bargain with Liang Rui, but gave all decision-making power of the project to Liang Rui.
Fang Zhicheng was not familiar with Liang Rui, but from the few times he met him, he knew that he was a person who paid great attention to details. When Fang Zhicheng was in his office, he found that the documents on his desk were arranged very neatly, and he strictly defined where to put what, just like the boundary between Chu and Han, with clear boundaries.
After returning to the office of the Development and Reform Commission, Fang Zhicheng soon realized why Liang Rui had a private conversation with him. He did not bring his mobile phone with him because he was in a meeting. When he opened it, he saw that all the calls were missed. There were many familiar people on the phone, mostly colleagues from Yinzhou and Hanzhou. Some people had not been in contact for several years, but now they were flocking to him.
Fang Zhicheng did not call back, but chose a number to call, "Secretary Hengde, what can I do for you?"
