Fang Zhicheng was stunned for a while, and suddenly found that he still couldn't figure out Shen Wei's eccentric personality.

Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng talked to Shen Wei about the progress of the two major bases of the media group. After Fang Zhicheng's persuasion, Shuangtan Town is now very cooperative. The project will start at the end of this month and is expected to be completed by the end of June next year. After the decoration, if everything goes well, it can be completed and put into use in September next year.

Shen Wei previously had an entertainment company, but it was not doing well, making little money, and had average potential, so she shifted her focus to the media group.

The base is divided into two parts. The first part is the film and television base. After the film and television base is built, the resources of the performing arts company will be used to build a film and television investment company. On the one hand, it will provide other film and television investment companies with locations for shooting TV series and movies, and on the other hand, it will reduce costs and prepare for its own investment in TV series and movies in the future.

The second part is the performing arts school base. After the performing arts school is completed, the enrollment scale will be expanded to absorb more students with performing arts needs. Film and television investment companies and film and television bases can be used to cultivate excellent performing arts talents. At the same time, students will also have job security after graduation, thus realizing the construction of the cultural industry ecological chain of the film and television media group.

After getting off the car, Qin Yuming arranged for the driver to come over. Fang Zhicheng did not go with Shen Wei, but rushed to the municipal party committee compound.

After entering the courtyard, I felt that things had changed. Although the overall layout of the courtyard had not changed much, some details had been adjusted. The flower bed facing the main building was flattened and covered with thick lawns. The empty space on the right side of the main building had a corridor. Along the two sides of the corridor were flower beds with seedlings planted. Because it was winter now, only a few plum trees were left blooming proudly.

It has been more than a year since Fang Zhicheng left the municipal party committee. From a new official to a rising star in the municipal party committee, and now the head of a bureau, he can clearly feel his changes. Both his experience and mentality have changed drastically. He no longer has the immaturity and confusion at the beginning. If you put aside his young appearance, he already has a vicissitudes of life, maturity, and a strong enough heart.

When Tong Siqing arrived at the office of the municipal party secretary, she was slightly startled to see Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng gestured to her, asking her not to report it for the time being. Then he moved a chair, sat next to Tong Siqing, and chatted with her in a low voice for a while.

It had been a while since I last met Tong Siqing, and we were in touch more often through phone calls and text messages. Tong Siqing looked a little thinner than the last time we met, and there was a complex emotion in her eyes. Fang Zhicheng asked softly, "Is there something wrong at home? Why don't you look well?"

Tong Siqing sighed, took a pen and wrote a paragraph on a piece of white paper, and then handed it to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng took a look, showing a surprised look, and said in surprise: "Then what do you decide to do?"

It turned out that Li Mingxue's lover, Qi Fang, not only had an unclear relationship with Li Mingxue, but also had an affair with a vice-president at the school. The vice-president was arrested for serious violations of discipline and regulations, which eventually implicated Qi Fang, and then Li Mingxue.

Qi Fang's husband found the Li family and made a big fuss. Li Mingxue was originally a teacher who was very concerned about his reputation. After this blow, he felt that he could not bear the pressure from the school and neighbors, so he resigned and went south to do business.

Tong Siqing heaved a long sigh, a look of relief appeared on her face, and she said calmly: "It's a good thing that he left. After all, after the window paper was broken, we were facing each other day and night, and it was awkward."

"Aren't you going to get a divorce?" Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment and asked softly.

"No plans! Even if we get divorced, we have to wait until our son grows up. A broken family will have too much impact on a child and will not be conducive to his growth." Tong Siqing said tiredly.

Fang Zhicheng felt extremely sad when he saw Tong Siqing like this. He was just about to go over to comfort her when he heard footsteps outside the door. He quickly sat up straight and saw Xiao Yu walking in from outside.

When Xiao Yu saw Fang Zhicheng, he was stunned at first, then he asked in confusion: "The boss is in the office today, Brother Cheng, you are here, why don't you go in?"

Fang Zhicheng stood up and said with a smile: "I heard some noise in the office just now, so I didn't disturb them, and then I chatted with Sister Siqing for a while."

Xiao Yu looked at Tong Siqing deeply, and then said, "Then I'll help you inform them now." After that, Xiao Yu reached out and knocked on the door to inform those inside.

Fang Zhicheng straightened his clothes and walked into the house. Song Wendi was reviewing documents. He pointed at the coffee table and said, "Come and make some tea."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and brewed tea skillfully. When the tea was ready, Song Wendi took off his glasses, left his seat and sat on the sofa, and asked softly, "Why did you come here today?"

Fang Zhicheng coughed lightly and said, "Can't I come visit the boss if I have nothing to do?"

Song Wendi shook his finger and smiled faintly: "You are not that boring. Tell me, what are your ideas this time."

He also knew Fang Zhicheng well, and knew that if Fang Zhicheng had nothing to do, he would not come to the municipal party committee to see him in person. He must have some earth-shattering ideas. Fang Zhicheng gave him too many surprises, especially in the past year, he brought so many big projects to Dongtai. This was not only Dongtai's political achievement, but also Yinzhou's political achievement.

Fang Zhicheng had an expression of wanting to speak but not being able to. He seemed to have struggled for a long time before he finally spoke and asked, "Boss, what do you think of the existence of underground banks in Yinzhou?"

Song Wendi's eyes flashed, and Fang Zhicheng's question obviously surprised him. "Underground banks have a long history. They are interest groups hidden in the dark corners of society. However, because they involve so many people, the government has always let them do what they want. Do you want to start with the underground banks in Dongtai?"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said truthfully: "Now the underground banks in Yinzhou, especially those in Dongtai, have seriously affected the existing economic development. Illegal and unsecured capital circulation will explode one day. If it is not dealt with now, there will be endless troubles."

Song Wendi pondered for a long time, and finally his eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said: "Zhicheng, this matter covers too many aspects, I can't express my opinion easily."

Chapter 0304: The Young Eagle's Wings Grow Full

This seemed to be the first serious disagreement with Song Wendi, who politely refused to support Fang Zhicheng. However, this was also within Fang Zhicheng's expectations. After all, the underground money houses had a wide impact, involving the interests of tens of thousands of people. Once this abscess was exposed, it was likely to cause uncontrollable mass incidents. As the secretary of the Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee, Song Wendi was likely to be used by his political enemies because of this incident.

This is why underground banks have been able to take root and rarely intervene by the government. Even at the legal level, there is still a certain gap in this regard. There is no clear punishment for criminals who organize illegal fund-raising, which has also made underground banks a legal vacuum.

I talked with Song Wendi about the current situation in Yinzhou. Song Wendi's rank has been promoted to vice-provincial level, and his position in Yinzhou has been firmly established. Even if Zhang Guoxin is dissatisfied, he can only resist in secret. At the municipal party committee level, Song Wendi has completely controlled the situation. Now Song Wendi has changed his focus and is more concerned about the struggle for resources at the provincial party committee level.

This year, Yinzhou City has achieved breakthrough success in the pursuit of provincial party committee project funds, ranking among the top three in the 12 cities, second only to Qiongjin and Dengchang. In the next step, Song Wendi will focus on following up on the implementation of these funds. With this fund, Yinzhou's development will be injected with vitality.

Of course, Song Wendi also had his troubles, mainly in municipal construction, where the development progress was not ideal and far from his established plan. The key was that Zhang Guoxin was slack in his work at the municipal government. According to Song Wendi's idea, the old city's new construction plan should be accelerated, and the transportation system of the big city should be sorted out, especially with the urban area as the core, the development speed to the surrounding county towns should be accelerated. However, Zhang Guoxin repeatedly shirked his responsibilities on the grounds of insufficient funds.

At this point, Fang Zhicheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he reminded: "Boss, have you heard of the PPP model?"

The PPP model was proposed by the United Kingdom in 1992. It refers to the cooperation between the government and private organizations in the construction of urban infrastructure projects. In simple terms, the project is the main body of financing, which can absorb private or personal assets. After the project has a profit, the profit will be distributed according to the previous financing ratio. In this way, the government can reduce the financial burden and the investment risk of social entities can be reduced. This model is more suitable for transportation, health, public safety, education, public real estate management and other fields.

Song Wendi is an expert in economics, so he naturally knows something about the PPP model. After being reminded by Fang Zhicheng, he quickly thought of a good solution and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, but it will be difficult to get the provincial party committee's approval. After all, there are still few people in the country who adopt this model."

Fang Zhicheng continued, "I have checked the relevant information. Last year, the construction model of Yanjing Metro, including Line 4, was very different from other subway construction models. It adopted the PPP model. With this sample, Yinzhou has a reason for reform, especially in transportation, and can try this creative measure. Secretary Siyuan is a leader with a strong sense of reform, and I believe he will definitely agree with this plan."

Song Wendi nodded with satisfaction, and smiled approvingly: "If you hadn't insisted on staying in Dongtai, I would have considered arranging for you to join the Municipal Planning Commission. You are very sensitive to policies and are suitable for development in this department. You have a big picture view and are targeted."

Fang Zhicheng waved his hands quickly and smiled modestly: "I was just talking casually. The Municipal Planning Commission is full of experts. How can I compare with them?"

Song Wendi did shake his head and said, "These days, 'expert' has become a derogatory term. Not everyone who is an expert can have good advice. But don't worry, I'm just saying it casually. The work of the Planning Commission is dogmatic and rigid. You are still young. If you are placed in the Planning Commission, you may not be able to display your talents. I have also thought it through. Dongtai is a good stage. If you can settle down in Dongtai, you will definitely achieve some results. I have already asked the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. There will be an investigation team to inspect you next week. You don't need to be nervous, but you must be prepared."

The Municipal Party Committee Organization Department's investigation was naturally to examine Fang Zhicheng's promotion to deputy county magistrate. Song Wendi said it simply, but the complexity of it can be imagined. A 26-year-old deputy division-level cadre was the first in the entire Yinzhou.

After sitting in the municipal party secretary's office for another half an hour, Fang Zhicheng got some reliable information that Dongtai's application for a bonded zone had basically been finalized, and with the assistance of the provincial party committee, it would be approved by the end of the year. Fang Zhicheng secretly thought that after returning to Dongtai, he could release this news, which would make the investment promotion situation clearer.

Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Zhicheng said goodbye and left.
