Very similar to the situation in Tonghe, Caoyao has good mineral resources and policy support.
Since 2009, the state has positioned Caoyao as one of the three major provincial metropolitan areas. The core of the metropolitan area covers cities with a radius of 50 kilometers, mainly in Huainan Province; the metropolitan area closely covers cities with a radius of 100 kilometers, including Caoyao, Zibo, Baihe in the province; Suyun and Xiangguang in Huainan; Chaohong in Donglu; Wuzhou in Yuzhou and other prefecture-level cities.
As a result, Huainan has become a system of three major metropolitan areas coexisting and developing in a group. The southern part is the Dengchang, Yinzhou, and Linfeng metropolitan areas; the central part is the Qiongjin integrated metropolitan area; and the northern part is the Caoyao metropolitan area.
The most important thing is that, unlike the other two metropolitan areas, the Caoyao metropolitan area is a cross-provincial metropolitan area, and its influence is not only limited to Huainan, but also covers provinces such as Donglu, Yuzhou, and Huaibei.
Although Tonghe has experienced rapid economic development, rapid urban construction and brilliant political achievements in recent years, prosperity will inevitably decline, which is an eternal theme. In comparison, Caoyao City is more suitable for young cadres to work hard and use the city's core competitiveness to enhance and obtain sufficient political capital.
Chen Jiawei did not go to Caoyao alone. The Wang family had already arranged a group of people to enter Caoyao. These people were of complex composition, including businessmen and officials, and were infiltrating every aspect of Caoyao. Therefore, Wang Guoyue's choice of Caoyao was not a momentary idea. He had started planning it a year ago.
Sui Qi also chose Cao Yao, which surprised Wang Guoyue because the two had not communicated well in advance. Being able to meet Sui Qi in Cao Yao also made Wang Guoyue's cold heart warm up briefly, so there was this change of letting Chen Jiawei protect Sui Qi.
Wang Guoyue stood up and walked around, then returned to his seat, took out his cell phone and made a call. Not long after, a cold voice came from the other end, "Guoyue, what can I do for you?"
"Old Zang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I called you because I naturally wanted to talk to you about my recent situation." Wang Guoyue chose to call Zang Yi. Both of them were the leaders of the younger generation of the Northern faction. Wang Guoyue was the first choice, and Zang Yi was the second choice.
Zang Yi sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that we don't have the kind of relationship where we care about each other's well-being."
Wang Guoyue tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said, "You are still as individual as ever, very aloof. I heard that you were promoted recently, so I came to congratulate you."
Zang Yi and Wang Guoyue are of similar age and entered the officialdom at about the same time. They have been competing with each other for the past few years, but Wang Guoyue became a full-rank department-level cadre two years ahead of schedule, which gives him a huge advantage over Zang Yi.
Zang Yi smiled disdainfully and said, "You fox, why don't you just tell me what you want?"
Wang Guoyue said calmly: "I want to get to know someone from you, Fang Zhicheng!"
Zang Yi paused and said, "You don't want to deal with him, do you? He doesn't seem to have any conflict of interest with you? What? Are you going to come to Huainan, Cao Yao?"
Zang Yi reacted very quickly. Through a series of logical reasoning, he figured out Wang Guoyue's route almost exactly.
Wang Guoyue did not comment, and asked calmly: "Don't worry, I am just like you, I don't consider him as a friend. I just want to know what kind of person he is."
Zang Yi was silent for a long time, and then said, "In terms of judging the economic situation, no one in our generation can match him."
Wang Guoyue was slightly startled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of him."
Zang Yi laughed at himself and said, "As a defeated opponent, if he doesn't admit his defeat, it will only make him lose more dignity. If nothing unexpected happens, in two years, he will directly compete with me for a position on the youth list. You know him well, so he is prepared for a rainy day."
Wang Guoyue could see that Zang Yi was still in a positive state of mind after losing to Fang Zhicheng. This had already been decided internally. If the youth rankings were to be re-ranked, Zang Yi's ranking would definitely move back one place, outside the top ten, while Fang Zhicheng would be able to advance into the top ten. He smiled easily and said, "Thank you for your advice!"
Chapter 0901 Winners and Losers
After hanging up Wang Guoyue's phone call, Zang Yi frowned and let out a long breath. He was not surprised that Wang Guoyue chose to come to Huainan. Huainan's economic situation is developing rapidly, there is a good innovation atmosphere, and the quality of officials is high. Any ambitious cadre who chooses to come to Huainan has great ambitions.
Wang Guoyue has been in Jilin Province for a long time, but an excellent cadre must not only adapt to one place, but also to various political environments, so Wang Guoyue must jump out of the circle of Jilin Province and find another way out.
Caoyao's status in Huainan is much higher than Hanzhou, which is not only reflected in the area of the city, but also in the population base. Caoyao is a link. Huainan Province has been promoting the slogan of revitalizing the north since five years ago, but it has been difficult to make progress because the successive municipal party secretaries were not strong enough.
Caoyao City was a tough nut to crack, and Zang Yi had thought about starting there, but he eventually chose Hanzhou, because it would take at least ten years to make achievements in Caoyao. Zang Yi was not short of patience, but he was short of time. Spending ten years in one place was not worth the loss.
Facts have proved that Zang Yi's choice was correct. He used Hanzhou as a springboard and became the acting mayor of Hanzhou in just one year. When the time is right, he can become the mayor through the vote of the People's Congress. Wang Guoyue's choice of taking an unconventional approach may have miraculous effects, but the price he paid was not small.
As for Wang Guoyue mentioning Fang Zhicheng to himself, Zang Yi showed a complicated expression on his face. He used to love and hate Fang Zhicheng, but now because there is no conflict of interest, he is no longer emotional.
During this period of time, Zang Yi carefully studied Fang Zhicheng's plan for the Xiaguang Internet Industrial Base and was surprised by the result. In all honesty, Zang Yi was surprised by Fang Zhicheng's careful layout, far-sighted vision, and serious and rigorous planning.
The Internet industry base has now become a mass innovation space. The so-called mass innovation space provides an open platform with various infrastructures, such as computers, desks, and offices. Entrepreneurs can enter with just their bags. The rental fee is shared, so the funds will not be much for each entrepreneur. At the same time, entrepreneurs will not feel lonely on the difficult road of entrepreneurship, because they are surrounded by a large number of like-minded people.
In its makerspace model, the Internet Information Industry Base plays the role of coordinator and organizer, allowing a large number of people with entrepreneurial ideas to come here. At the same time, the base will periodically call on venture capitalists to come to the makerspace and invest in the entrepreneurs therein.
Venture capital companies are also very interested in the fact that they can screen out high-growth and potential industries at a lower cost in the co-working space.
For example, in the past year, Aituan.com, located in the Internet information industry base, successfully obtained a venture capital fund of 60 million US dollars. Originally, Aituan.com was just a team of only 50 to 60 people, but after obtaining this funding, it instantly became a nationally renowned Internet company.
The model of Aituan.com is also very novel, successfully using the information dissemination advantages of the Internet to connect with offline physical stores. For example, if consumers need to watch a movie, if they go to the cinema to watch a movie, the full ticket costs 100 yuan, but through Aituan.com, group buying only costs 25 yuan.
By combining online and offline methods and breaking down the barriers of information asymmetry, Aituan.com has grown rapidly, with more than 10 million registered members. It has set up offices in many cities across the country to be responsible for promotion and investment attraction.
Zang Yi was greatly stimulated and conducted deep reflection, and finally acknowledged the fact that he was completely defeated by Fang Zhicheng in strategic layout planning.
Temporary failure is not important. Since Zang Yi has seen the huge potential of the Internet information industry, he naturally wants to seize this opportunity and cultivate it into the core competitiveness of Hanzhou's future urban competition. Therefore, in recent times, Zang Yi has frequently visited Xiaguang to communicate with local cadres, conduct research on companies in the Internet information industry, obtain first-hand information, and provide targeted support, with obvious results.
The seats in the first phase of the Internet Information Industry Base are all full, and the second phase project is under intensive construction and is expected to be put into use in the second half of next year. Therefore, Zang Yi is currently operating investment promotion and making a reasonable layout for the second phase.
There is a very strange phenomenon in attracting investment: it is relatively simple at the beginning, but when it reaches a certain scale, it will attract many companies. Nowadays, Hanzhou Xiaguang's Internet Information Industry Base is well-known and well-known throughout the country, so it attracts a large number of Internet entrepreneurs to gather here.
Both the development of industry and the progress of local economy are inseparable from population. According to the data of the Municipal Bureau of Statistics last year, the number of newly added migrant population exceeded 100,000, of which more than 50% were college graduates or above. This simple data is enough to show that Hanzhou is cultivating an unstoppable force. Once the time is right and the accumulated strength is sufficient, it will show a strong momentum.
After Hu Gang was transferred from Hanzhou and Zang Yi took over the government, Zhang Tianling took the initiative to invite Zang Yi, and the two had a conversation that lasted for several hours. Zang Yi was surprised that this Su official had a refined charm. He expressed goodwill and even lowered his profile to hand over all control of the municipal government to Zang Yi.
At first, Zang Yi was very skeptical about Zhang Tianling's motives, but through spending time together, Zang Yi discovered that Zhang Tianling was very supportive of his work and fully recognized issues such as municipal planning and economic restructuring.
Zang Yi thought of this and tapped his fingers on the table a few times. Why was Zhang Tianling so kind to him? It was probably because of Fang Zhicheng. Zhang Tianling came to Huainan from Shanzhou to escort Fang Zhicheng. If Fang Zhicheng was still wary of him, how could Zhang Tianling be so kind to him
Finally, he picked up his phone and dialed Fang Zhicheng's number. Soon, the phone was answered and a woman's voice came from the other end. Zang Yi felt his heart beat rapidly for a few times, but he finally forced himself to calm down, "Is this Qiangwei? This is Zang Yi, is Zhicheng here?"
Ning Qiangwei was slightly startled, because on Fang Zhicheng's phone, Zang Yi's name was marked as "Super disgusting scumbag". She couldn't help but smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zang. He is taking a shower. How about I ask him to call you later?"
