Duan Xuan was slightly startled and frowned. Fang Zhicheng was bargaining with him. According to the normal process, after this kind of talent introduction policy is passed, the written test and the re-examination need to be strictly screened by the organization department. As a full-time deputy secretary in charge of party affairs and personnel management, he naturally has a lot of say. As for the interview examiners, he will appoint them. Fang Zhicheng's proposal is undoubtedly to let the government participate in the selection of talents, which is suspected of interfering in party affairs.
But his tone did not reveal the slightest bit of unnaturalness. The current situation in Dongtai was not favorable to him. The new provincial party secretary had already taken office, and Governor Bu was having a hard time. The new Yinzhou municipal party secretary, Xiao Futing, was a capable subordinate of Chief Wen. If he did not strive for a reliable ally in Dongtai, he would probably be sidelined by Sun Weiming soon.
Although Xing Jike and Fang Zhicheng were not important enough to challenge Sun Weiming in the Standing Committee, they had already firmly grasped the government work. Now Dongtai was like the Three Kingdoms period, with Sun Weiming as Wei, Fang Zhicheng as Wu, and himself as Shu. Wu and Shu joined hands to fight against the most powerful Wei. That was the most correct approach at the moment. He smiled faintly and said, "Okay, the candidates will be assigned to various departments after all. It is only natural to let the leaders of the directly affiliated institutions interview them."
Seeing that he had reached an agreement with Duan Xuan, Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I will ask my secretary to submit the list of job requirements for county-level departments to you tomorrow."
Duan Xuan was slightly startled and said jokingly, "You are an impatient person."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Strike while the iron is hot. Now all provinces are conducting civil service examinations one after another. Under this general trend, if Dongtai can come up with a talent introduction policy, it can attract a large number of outstanding talents and cause heated discussions, thereby enhancing the government's reputation."
Duan Xuan smiled helplessly and said, "In the final analysis, your focus should still be on attracting investment."
Seeing Duan Xuan speak out his thoughts, Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "Secretary Duan still understands my thoughts. Dongtai is a treasure, but if we don't promote it often, who will know where its treasure is? Use some event marketing to increase Dongtai's popularity, so that everyone knows Dongtai and is willing to pay attention to Dongtai. With more people paying attention to Dongtai, naturally everyone will be willing to travel, invest, and even settle down in Dongtai."
Duan Xuan was shocked. He had come into contact with Fang Zhicheng many times and always felt that he could not see through Fang Zhicheng. Now he could see it somewhat clearly. Fang Zhicheng was an official who wanted to develop Dongtai from the bottom of his heart. Although he was young, he did everything with a pure heart, which was why he was able to quickly gain a foothold in Dongtai.
A young person who does nothing will be despised and rejected by others, while a young person who is capable of doing practical things will be respected. Duan Xuan said, "Tomorrow you can have someone send the job vacancies here..."
To Duan Xuan, Fang Zhicheng was a young man with unlimited potential. He had received a lot of information from the provincial party committee. Both Li Siyuan and Song Wendi spoke highly of him. He ranked very high among the young reserve cadres of the provincial party committee. Like Sun Weiming, Duan Xuan also began to pay attention to maintaining a close but distant relationship with Fang Zhicheng, neither too close nor too antagonistic.
So Fang Zhicheng is very relaxed now, he can have the best of both worlds.
Chapter 0420 Developing an export-oriented economy
After the call with Duan Xuan, Fang Zhicheng called Zhan Yao in and told him to coordinate with various departments to sort out and submit a list of job vacancies, with a focus on departments with heavy tasks and large staffing needs, such as the Investment Promotion Bureau and the Construction Bureau. At the same time, Fang Zhicheng also began to draft a plan on how Dongtai County can develop an export-oriented economy.
The so-called export-oriented economy is an open economic model that expands outward, takes the international market as a stage, and increases the export and foreign exchange earning capacity of local enterprises. The comprehensive bonded area is a good channel. Compared with other brother counties and districts, Dongtai already has unique conditions. The next step is how to make good use of the current advantages, attract, absorb and digest foreign funds and technologies, so that Dongtai's industrial structure can be rapidly transformed and further move towards the "Asian Financial Center".
Fang Zhicheng had consulted a lot of information before. Although there were many references in domestic literature, there were few cities that actually implemented it. Many cities just made slogans but did not take any real action. Dongtai actually started to move towards an export-oriented economy last year. At the Merchants Conference, Fang Zhicheng asked all business departments to increase support for export-oriented enterprises, which laid a good foundation for the implementation of the export-oriented economy plan.
There are three types of export-oriented economies, including primary export-oriented economies, which accumulate foreign exchange funds through the export of semi-finished products. Most of China's export-oriented economies are of this type, so that "Made in China" is quite famous in the world, but this means of earning foreign exchange is too backward and consumes labor and resources, which is not desirable; as for production export-oriented economies, they introduce a large amount of foreign capital and technology, export finished products to drive the development of domestic industries. The four Asian tigers are all represented by this form, and the most obvious one is the digital products of the island countries, which occupy most of the global market.
The third type is the export-oriented economy, where the national economy is integrated with the world economy, with large inflows and outflows of capital, goods, labor, and talent, and the domestic market becomes part of the international market, with the national currency becoming a freely convertible world currency. The most representative example is the United States, where the U.S. dollar has become an international currency, and its dynamics can cause changes in the global economy.
Fang Zhicheng's plan is to build Dongtai into the second type, that is, a production-oriented economy, through technological innovation and capital input, to form a group of high-tech enterprises to compete with enterprises from other countries in the global field. Through the efforts of China Merchants Group for more than a year, three major areas have been basically determined.
First, automobile manufacturing. With the rapid expansion of the national economy, people's living standards have been greatly improved, which is undoubtedly a spring breeze for automobile manufacturing. At present, domestic automobile manufacturers rely more on the technology of large foreign automobile manufacturers due to their limited technical level, which is not conducive to the development of the domestic automobile industry. If the country does not cultivate a pillar automobile manufacturer, it will undoubtedly hand over a huge market to foreign countries. Judging from the various policies of the country in recent years, it is also planned to cultivate some leading domestic automobile manufacturing companies, but it has not been successful. Therefore, Fang Zhicheng is determined to make a fuss about automobile manufacturers and introduce a domestic automobile manufacturer with strong strength in Dongtai, mainly targeting family cars as the main products, not only for the domestic market, but also to go abroad after many years to compete with automobile manufacturers in other countries.
Second, digital manufacturing. Domestic digital products, such as mobile phones, computers, cameras, etc., are now all occupied by foreign brands. The survival space of domestic manufacturing enterprises is narrow. Not only can they not be compared with those enterprises in terms of technology, but there is even a large gap in technology. Digital products are parasitic on the basis of the third industrial revolution. China has fallen behind a lot. If we want to catch up, we must start planning and layout now. The domestic market is huge. Imagine that there are more than one billion people in the country, and everyone has a mobile phone, and every family has a computer and a camera. What a terrible consumption power this will be. With such a huge market as support, it will be full of advantages to enter the foreign market and compete with other brands.
Third, foreign e-commerce. After joining the WTO, my country's foreign trade activities have become more and more frequent. E-commerce is the product of the explosive development of the Internet, with the characteristics of globalization, openness, low cost and high efficiency. Not only do many domestic companies need a platform to export products abroad, but foreign markets also need a springboard to enter the Chinese market. If Dongtai can open up this channel, it will not only be conducive to the growth and development of local companies, but also attract the attention of many export-oriented companies at home and abroad. When the conditions are ripe, resources will be integrated, and remarkable results will surely be created.
However, these three areas are all tough nuts to crack. Although Dongtai's current investment promotion policies have great advantages, if we want to guide enterprises in the region to transform into these three areas, government guidance alone is not enough, and opportunities and luck are also needed.
After finishing the plan of "How Dongtai County Can Develop an Export-Oriented Economy", it was almost time to get off work. Zhan Yao was very efficient. In just two or three hours, he compiled a list of job requirements for government agencies. Fang Zhicheng frowned and adjusted a little, then asked Zhan Yao to hand it over to Duan Xuan around nine o'clock tomorrow after he sorted it out.
Zhan Yao nodded and turned to leave. Fang Zhicheng saw that Zhan Yao seemed a little upset, so he stopped Zhan Yao and asked in confusion: "Old Zhan, is there something wrong at home?"
Zhan Yao was slightly startled, secretly sighing that his boss had a strong sense of observation, and said with a wry smile: "It's nothing, I will adjust it, please rest assured."
Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment, asked Zhan Yao to sit on the sofa, brewed a pot of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Old Zhan, although we are superiors and subordinates, we are together day and night, and I have long regarded you as my comrade-in-arms and partner. Not only work problems, but also if you encounter difficult problems in life, I am willing to share with you and face them together."
Zhan Yao held up his teacup, a self-deprecating smile on his face, and said with emotion: "It's a bit difficult to start."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Since it involves privacy, let's not talk about it. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. After a drink, you should feel less depressed."
Zhan Yao was a little flattered and sighed, "I'll treat you."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, it's settled."
After get off work, Fang Zhicheng and Zhan Yao ordered a few side dishes at an inconspicuous shop near the municipal party committee compound and drank the most ordinary Yinzhou Daqu. Zhan Yao deliberately wanted to get drunk, so he drank a lot, and Fang Zhicheng did not stop him. Zhan Yao was drunk and spoke out his thoughts one after another, saying: "Boss, sometimes I feel that I am useless. I am thirty-something and have accomplished nothing. Sigh..."
Fang Zhicheng knew that Zhan Yao's failure was not about work. Compared with six months ago, Zhan Yao was no longer the same. He was now the secretary of the executive deputy county magistrate and had recently been promoted to deputy section chief. Zhan Yao's failure was mainly about family life. Fang Zhicheng's mind flashed with the image of his wife Mei Jun.
Mei Jun was very pretty. Although she was in her thirties, she looked like she was in her twenties and didn't look like she had given birth to a child. If a woman was too outstanding, she would inevitably attract many men. In the past few years, Zhan Yao's career was not going well, and Mei Jun was tempted and had affairs with other men. It was normal.
Zhan Yao seemed to know that his wife had an improper relationship outside, so he acted so depressed. Fang Zhicheng persuaded him in a deep voice: "Whether a man can be successful, whether it is family or work, depends on his ability. Lao Zhan, I know that something has happened in your family, but please believe in yourself. When the time is right, you will be no worse than others, and you will be able to take back what belongs to you at that time."
Zhan Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Boss, I know you want to comfort me. However, I have reminded Mei Jun many times in a subtle way, but I don't know if she pretended not to understand or just ignored me. Instead, she got worse. In the past two days, she even used the excuse of the company organizing a trip to go to another place with that man. Isn't this the most difficult thing for a man to tolerate in his life? I feel that Mei Jun and I have lost basic trust, so I decided to end this relationship."
Fang Zhicheng felt that Zhan Yao was a bit impulsive, so he advised: "Old Zhan, you have to change your perspective on this matter. People need to live with dignity, but sometimes it is not easy to heal the wound by simply cutting off all ties. I think that your sister-in-law is very likely possessed by a ghost. When she wakes up, maybe you can resume your previous life. After all, you have been married for so many years and have children."
Zhan Yao was a little drunk, so he didn't speak as respectfully as he did to Fang Zhicheng when he was sober. He smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "Are you asking me to be a coward?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "You should prove that you are good enough. A quick and dirty solution is not rational. Instead, it will make others think you are a coward."
Zhan Yao was silent for a long time. He chewed over Fang Zhicheng's words. After a long while, he nodded and said affirmatively: "Boss, I know what you mean. Since Mei Jun has changed her heart, I want to break up with her, but I have to prove that I am better than that man, instead of giving up, which will only make that guy ridicule and laugh at me."
Fang Zhicheng reached out and patted Zhan Yao on the shoulder, saying, "Be strong and prove yourself. This is what a real man should do!"
A sharp light flashed in Zhan Yao's eyes, and a plan formed in his mind. A few days ago, Zhan Yao checked Mei Jun's mobile phone number and locked the target. Although he was only a deputy section-level secretary and the other party was already a section-level cadre, Zhan Yao could borrow Fang Zhicheng's power to teach the other party a lesson.
Chapter 0421: Confrontation between Husband and Lover
Early the next morning, Fang Zhicheng received a call from Duan Xuan. After Zhan Yao handed the list to Duan Xuan, Duan Xuan read it carefully and made some adjustments. Fang Zhicheng saw that it was harmless, so he did not argue with Duan Xuan. Now the two of them were in an alliance and had a common enemy, that is, Sun Weiming. Some minor details were not overly disputed to avoid affecting the harmony.
At the secretaries' meeting in the afternoon, Duan Xuan and Sun Weiming proposed the "Dongtai Hundreds of Millions of Talents Introduction Project". Sun Weiming originally planned to adopt a delaying strategy, but he did not expect that Xing Jike would join forces with Duan Xuan to catch him off guard, which made others wary.
