The interviewers began to express their opinions one after another. Everyone had their own ideas, which showed that Jiao Zhengcai had done his job in the process of selecting candidates. The integration of Qiong and Han has been a topic frequently discussed by the Hanzhou Municipal Government in the past two years. Everyone has come across it before, but few have really studied it.
This is obviously not Wu Yong's strong point. Although his answers are very organized and logical, his views are too commonplace. He simply says that the government must first solve the transportation problem and then use propaganda to make the citizens of the two cities accept the concept of integration and then achieve integration.
Guo Shilin, a candidate who graduated from the Department of Business Administration of Jongin University, showed his own extraordinary insights. "There are currently five large urban agglomerations recognized by the world, namely New York, London, Tokyo, Paris and the Great Lakes metropolitan areas in North America. Take the New York metropolitan area as an example. The five core cities of Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington have developed in a staggered manner and complement each other. The pattern of being closely surrounded by more than 40 small and medium-sized cities is fundamentally the result of competition and the market."
"In my country, the push is mainly through administrative means. This approach seems to have achieved certain results, but in fact there are great risks. Take the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated city cluster as an example. Jizhou Province has not achieved any substantial breakthroughs due to policy-driven development. Therefore, it is an extremely passive approach to promote the development of the city cluster through administrative means."
"So I think that if we want to promote the integration of Beijing and Wuhan, we must start from the market, supplemented by administrative promotion, find ways to respect the objective laws of economic and social development and persevere, use market mechanisms to effectively adjust the allocation of resources in the region, strengthen the complementarity of urban functions, and accelerate the free movement of production factors. This is what we need to do now."
Guo Shilin has good opinions, but his appearance is really not acceptable, and can even be described as ugly. Having such a person around will not only affect his own image, but also the image of the district government.
Fang Zhicheng remained calm on the surface, but he secretly sighed in his heart. For government officials, appearance is also an important factor.
In ancient times, why did Cao Cao abandon Pang Tong, a talented person? Cao Cao had many think tanks under him. Pang Tong was talented, but his image was poor. He could be an aide, but it was inappropriate for him to be a military strategist who could command the three armies.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and commented: "Your point of view is quite innovative. However, it still feels a bit high-level and you haven't mentioned specific measures and key points. What methods can be used to enable the market and administration to promote the development of the same city?"
After saying this, Fang Zhicheng turned his gaze to Shang Yan.
Shang Yan smiled and said, "District Chief Fang, I was fortunate enough to read a report about Dongtai's investment promotion in the Huainan Daily. There was a sentence in it that I still remember clearly."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Which sentence is it?"
Shang Yan said: "I remember that in that report, the mayor of Dongtai said that he wanted to introduce the concept of 'city operator' in Dongtai, that is, let investors participate in the city's infrastructure and public projects, and the government will assist. This will not only reduce government investment, but also promote the marketization of local governments and achieve multiple goals at one stroke. I think that the integration of Qiong and Han can also adopt this concept and use the market to recruit some powerful investors to join the construction of the integration."
Fang Zhicheng was also a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect Shang Yan to have such an opinion. He nodded and commented: "What you said is a bold idea, because there is no precedent in the country. It can be said to be the first of its kind. If we do this, I'm afraid we will have to take many risks."
Shang Yan responded quickly and said with a smile: "District Chief Fang, as far as I know, Dongtai Merchants Bureau has established its own investment service company, which is a pioneering initiative in the country. Now that the country advocates innovative development, we can't be timid."
A light flashed in Fang Zhicheng's eyes. He was very satisfied with Shang Yan. Compared with his former secretary Zhan Yao, Shang Yan had too many advantages. If she was trained well, she would definitely become his right-hand man. It was a pity that she was a woman, which violated the internal regulations for the selection of secretaries by leading cadres.
Fang Zhicheng pondered for a moment, then smiled and concluded: "Thank you all for coming today. I have gained a lot from communicating with you. As for who can be my secretary, I think it is not important. I think it is a rare and valuable experience for everyone to have an open discussion."
After everyone left, Jiao Zheng, who had been accompanying them, whispered, "District Chief Fang, Shang Yan is not bad. Although she is a woman, she is very responsive and quick-witted. The only problem is probably her gender..."
Jiao Zhengcai spoke strategically. He knew that Fang Zhicheng had taken a fancy to Shang Yan, so he first praised Shang Yan, but then tactfully pointed out the problem, which made it easier for Fang Zhicheng to accept his advice.
Fang Zhicheng remained calm and nodded, "Gender is indeed a problem. Lao Jiao, do you have any other suggestions?"
Jiao Zhengcai's eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape, and he continued, "Guo Shilin is not bad, but his image score is too low. It seems inappropriate if he is around you."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Old Jiao, there's no need to beat around the bush. Considering all aspects, just tell me who you like."
Jiao Zhengcai finally gave the answer, "Wu Yong, what do you think? I think he has a good image, temperament and overall strength. I believe he can be a good secretary for you."
Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers on the table several times, thinking that Jiao Zhengcai had finally given his answer. He had already made up his mind to choose Shang Yan, but now he needed skills to make Jiao Zhengcai agree with him.
Jiao Zhengcai is in charge of the government office. In name, all secretaries are his subordinates and need to obey his management.
It was not easy for Fang Zhicheng to directly break up with Jiao Zhengcai. After all, it was not time to break up yet. He needed to compromise temporarily and wait until he collected enough information before launching a counterattack.
Fang Zhicheng stood up, glanced at Jiao Zhengcai calmly, and said with a smile: "Old Jiao, to be honest, I am a lazy person, and a little greedy. Shang Yan looks good to me, and Wu Yong is indeed a steady person. How about this, I want both of them, but I need you to do some technical processing, Old Jiao, I believe you can do it."
Jiao Zhengcai was well aware of the so-called technical processing. He could transfer one of them to the government office and temporarily assign him to other positions to actually serve Fang Zhicheng and serve as his secretary.
Jiao Zhengcai was a little speechless, because Fang Zhicheng's decision was too unexpected. Even Deng Shaoqun only had one secretary, but Fang Zhicheng actually asked for two secretaries. Wasn't he afraid that it would be spread out and damage his reputation or even cause other troubles
After thinking about it more carefully, Jiao Zhengcai wondered if Fang Zhicheng was trying to cheat.
Fang Zhicheng actually wanted to choose Shang Yan as his secretary, but this was an internal prohibition. Leading cadres could not choose secretaries of the opposite sex. So Fang Zhicheng let Shang Yan hold a nominal position in the government office, and then let Wu Yong become the district mayor's secretary. On the one hand, it was to satisfy Jiao Zhengcai's intention, and on the other hand it was just a bluff.
Although Wu Yong was nominally his secretary, Fang Zhicheng had already seen that this person was a spy he had arranged to be by his side, and he would definitely use other means to eliminate him from his side later.
Jiao Zhengcai smacked his lips secretly. Fang Zhicheng was too cunning. He was impossible to figure out and very unpredictable.
Fang Zhicheng's current goal is to keep everyone confused and no one knows what his real thoughts are, because his current situation is a bit awkward. Although he is the district chief, he does not know the new place well enough and has not converted his power into resources.
Fang Zhicheng must go through this awkward transition period before he can face many things, such as the power to choose a secretary, adjusting the division of labor of the deputy district chief, etc. These all require him to wait until he has accumulated a certain amount of energy before he can adopt more direct means. Otherwise, it will cause dissatisfaction among others, which will be counterproductive. For example, Jiao Zhengcai perfunctorily dealt with him, and although his orders did not work, this would put him in a dilemma.
After returning to the office, Fang Zhicheng took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Wan Heng, the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. "Hello, head Wan! I am Fang Zhicheng, the acting head of Xiaguang District. Can I meet with you soon?"
Fang Zhicheng's text message was concise, clear in purpose, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. The reason was that he represented Song Wendi. If he was too humble, it would affect Wan Heng's opinion of Song Wendi.
Wan Heng is a deputy department-level cadre, and Song Wendi is a deputy ministerial-level cadre, so there is a difference between the two levels. From the perspective of the faction, Song Wendi is also a core figure, and although he is one level lower than Wan Heng in rank, he is Song Wendi's confidant, and when he contacts Wan Heng, he should also maintain the same level.
Wan Heng did not reply to the text message directly, but Fang Zhicheng believed that he had already received the message and was just delaying it deliberately in order to gain a psychological advantage.
Knowing how to lengthen the time and grasp the right timing is a science when getting along with people.
When it was almost time to get off work, Wan Heng sent a text message back, which made Fang Zhicheng feel relieved. "We can meet on Saturday, at the Green Rose Spring Tea House next to the Municipal Party Committee."
Fang Zhicheng thought about it and simply replied with two words, "Received."
Judging from Wan Heng's style of doing things, Fang Zhicheng could roughly judge this person's character. He was relatively cautious and very arrogant. It would be very difficult to win the support of such a person. Song Wendi gave him a difficult problem.
However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Although the task is arduous, we must try our best to take it.
Luoluochunlou Teahouse is a very distinctive teahouse in Hanzhou, where many chess enthusiasts gather. Fang Zhicheng thought that Wan Heng should also be a chess enthusiast.
