Yu Ming Media Group has been combining cultural entertainment with infrastructure since the beginning. In addition to the conceptual cultural brand, it is more concerned with the accumulation of real capital, such as performing arts bases and film and television bases, which provides a foundation for its long-term development. Now, if it adds the theme park as an asset, it will be able to achieve diversified investment for the group.

The future prototype of Yu Ming Media Group has basically emerged, and will eventually become a Hollywood-style industrial chain.

However, what surprised Fang Zhicheng was that the land that was originally intended to be allocated to Yuming Media Group was actually sold by Deng Shaoqun during his illness! This completely disrupted Fang Zhicheng's plan.

When Fang Zhicheng learned the news after work, he immediately found Deng Shaoqun and argued with him face to face: "Secretary Deng, what's going on? Why was Plot 17 sold directly without discussing it with the government?"

Deng Shaoqun was puzzled by Fang Zhicheng's angry attitude at first, but soon realized why Fang Zhicheng came. If it were someone else, Deng Shaoqun would have been furious and driven him away. However, the person in front of him was Fang Zhicheng, the absolutely strong district chief, so Deng Shaoqun patiently explained to him: "Comrade Zhicheng, you don't know. You were hospitalized some time ago, but the government work can't be stagnant. Yintai Group is going to build a financial office building on Plot 17. The project amount exceeds 1 billion yuan, so I signed it directly."

Fang Zhicheng knew that Deng Shaoqun's explanations were all excuses. This guy was simply taking advantage of his absence to exercise his power in an extraordinary manner. "Secretary Deng, you must have carefully studied the district government's plan. The original plan for Lot 17 was to build a film and television theme park, but now that you have signed this contract, the government's plan has been completely changed. This is a big deal, how can you be so casual!"

Deng Shaoqun frowned, very dissatisfied with Fang Zhicheng's questioning tone, raised the corners of his mouth, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "District Head Fang, please be careful with your words? How do you know that I didn't think carefully? Don't forget, I am the district party secretary, and you are only the district head. Although the district head is responsible for government affairs, major issues still need to be decided by the party committee."

Fang Zhicheng saw that Deng Shaoqun had already torn his face off, and there was no point in talking to him. He said coldly: "Secretary Deng, since you don't follow the rules, then I can only do the same. The contract between the district government and Yintai Group must be terminated!"

Deng Shaoqun said coldly: "Can you just terminate it? The contract clearly states it in black and white. Do you want the government to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract?"

Fang Zhicheng sneered: "Even if we have to pay the penalty, we can't introduce a useless project."

Deng Shaoqun finally couldn't help it, and angrily slammed the table and roared: "Fang Zhicheng, I have worked in Xiaguang for so many years, and I have never seen a guy like you. You provoke me again and again, do you still take me seriously?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "If you want me to look up to you, please do something that will convince me, instead of just scheming and gossiping all day long. Deng Shaoqun, I look down on you!"

Fang Zhicheng blatantly despised Deng Shaoqun. Deng Shaoqun rolled up his sleeves, but ultimately did not dare to hit Fang Zhicheng, because Deng Shaoqun knew very clearly that Fang Zhicheng was not afraid of him at all. If he punched him, Fang Zhicheng would probably hit back at least two or three times.

In the past, the reason why Deng Shaoqun was so unscrupulous in getting angry and even attacking his subordinates was because he was sure that they would not dare to resist. However, Fang Zhicheng was not afraid of him at all, and even hoped that he would punch him, and then he would have the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Listening to the quarrel in the office, Chen Chao stood outside, hesitating for a long time, but finally did not rush in. Not long after, Fang Zhicheng walked out steadily and nodded at Chen Chao. Chen Chao avoided his gaze nervously, then sighed and walked slowly into Deng Shaoqun's office.

"Crash..." Deng Shaoqun swept over everything on the table, his face flushed, his eyes bloodshot, an expression of extreme anger.

Chen Chao said nothing more. He bent down and picked up all the scattered books and materials. He sighed in his heart that Deng Shaoqun actually let Fang Zhicheng leave safely. He was completely defeated in this confrontation because his mentality had changed. He was no longer the arrogant Deng Shaoqun in Xiaguang District.

Chapter 0575: The Long-term Concerns of the Provincial Governors

It has been almost a year since Wen Jinglong came to Qiongjin as the top leader. The economic situation in Huainan is better than he expected, which makes him feel a great sense of responsibility. When Li Siyuan left, he left behind a piece of fertile land. If he cannot defend it, won't he be scolded

As a provincial governor, he has a strong sense of mission and shoulders the beliefs of millions of people, with a heavy responsibility.

When Wen Jinglong was in the three northeastern provinces, he paid more attention to party affairs. As the provincial party secretary, he naturally knew the importance of economy, but it was impossible for him to spend most of his energy on economic work because economy is a complicated thing and too complicated. He was not born into the economic field and it was easy for him to give chaotic commands.

Wen Jinglong arranged economic officials whom he trusted very much in several important positions through personnel transfers, but the effect was minimal. After deep thought, he found that these officials were not able to adapt to the local environment.

Because of the different locations, the directions of economic development in the north and the south are also different. In recent years, Huainan has begun to see a second wave of reforms, spanning from the real economy to the virtual economy, but the subordinates who were seconded by him had gaps in this regard and did not respond in time, resulting in a disconnect in thinking.

This phenomenon forced Wen Jinglong to think again and again, and he realized that whether Huainan Province's economy could continue to maintain its high growth momentum would probably still depend on local officials.

There are several benefits to allowing local officials to participate in economic construction. First, they grow up with the local area and are well aware of the local economic development laws and trajectories. Second, the quality of officials in Huainan is relatively high, especially those at or above the deputy director level. Most of them have received higher education, have a certain foundation, and can recognize the importance of the economy. Third, officials in Huainan Province have a higher level of awareness and foresight, and their mindsets are more open, which is due to the environment.

Therefore, Wen Jinglong made some reforms and adjustments in personnel after he took office, such as launching a large-scale training for cadres at the level of deputy director and above in the province. Through the transfer of cadres across the province, the rigid organizational structure of the past could be disrupted, but at the same time, there was no significant fluctuation in the officials of Huainan Province, thus ensuring the stability of personnel. From the short-term effect, after the new officials took office, their efforts have revitalized various parts of Huainan Province.

However, Wen Jinglong has been in a bad mood recently because he found some inappropriate things in the Qionghan integration project. The launch of the Intra-city Office was originally intended to better serve the project, but it unexpectedly caused widespread controversy.

This young man from the Jin family is not an easy person to deal with. The City Office is a newly established institution. Although it has a high level, it has no actual power. Wen Jinglong had the idea of placing Jin Feng here from the beginning, which would help Jin Feng accumulate better political achievements without causing too much trouble.

In Wen Jinglong's opinion, Jin Feng, you should just stay in the city office peacefully and don't get involved in too much. After the project is successful, you can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of its labor. By then, your name will surely be on the credit list for the integration of Qiong and Han cities. When you return to Yuzhou with this achievement, you will be promoted again.

But what caught Wen Jinglong off guard was that Jin Feng did not remain silent as he thought, but instead maximized the role of the local office.

Wen Jinglong still admired Jin Feng's abilities, because if it were anyone else, it would probably be difficult to use the City Integration Department to create more value. However, Jin Feng used this department to tie Hanzhou and Qiongjin together, and even effectively exercised supervision and control over the Qiong-Han integration project.

However, the strong local government office has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among local governments and enterprises, especially Hongda Group, which believes that the government is interfering too much in the project, which is inconsistent with what is said in the contract and will seriously affect the progress of the project. In addition, the financial support is not timely enough, and there are many levels of barriers, which makes the promotion work very complicated.

Wen Jinglong sighed. Controlling the localization project was Wen Jinglong's requirement for the localization office. Jin Feng had done his job very well. However, huge pressure was now sweeping in. Should Wen Jinglong help Jin Feng withstand the pressure and allow the localization office to continue to improve its functions

In several recent Standing Committee meetings, Song Wendi repeatedly raised questions about the City Office. Wen Jinglong thought about it carefully and felt that what Song Wendi said made some sense.

Song Wendi is Li Siyuan's trusted disciple and the Standing Committee member who understands economics best. Wen Jinglong must pay special attention to his suggestions.

In fact, Wen Jinglong had doubts about handing over the Qiong-Han Metropolitan Integration Project to the Urban Operation Alliance. He had learned about PPP projects and was sure that this would be a major form of local government planning and construction in the future, but there had never been such a large PPP project in China. So at the beginning, Wen Jinglong mobilized his connections and used the Northern Zhonghe Group to see if he could strengthen the controllability of the project. However, because Huainan local enterprises collectively formed a group and sniped the Zhonghe Group's stocks, the Zhonghe Group had to withdraw from the project.

However, Wen Jinglong was still worried, so he asked the National Development and Reform Commission to set up an independent department to strengthen the management of government-guided funds for the same-city integration projects, so as to control the development of the projects and reduce the risks of project implementation.

Now it seems that although Wen Jinglong finally achieved his goal, he aroused opposition from everyone. Song Wendi was the most popular, but Bu Yiren also secretly echoed Song Wendi, which made Wen Jinglong anxious.

There was a crisp knock on the door, and Wen Jinglong withdrew his thoughts. Secretary Yu Rui came in with a pile of documents, put them next to Wen Jinglong, and then walked out of the office. Wen Jinglong took the materials, looked at them for a while, frowned slightly, then called Yu Rui and ordered: "Ask Xiao Qi from the inspection office to come over..."

Yu Rui was slightly surprised to hear this instruction, because Qi Yun and Wen Jinglong had a huge difference in status, and Wen Jinglong's request to see Qi Yun was unexpected. Yu Rui thought about it carefully, guessed the reason, called Qi Yun, and instructed: "Secretary Wen asked to see you, I guess it's about the preliminary investigation report on the integration of Qionghan."

Qi Yun is one of the few female cadres in the General Office. She is in her thirties and looks very good, so she is well-known. Yu Rui knows that the boss is impressed by Qi Yun, so when he speaks to her, his tone is relatively gentle. The secretary of the provincial party secretary is naturally more tactful than many people in dealing with people and things.

Not long after, Qi Yun hurried to the office in red high heels. Yu Rui glanced at her and his eyes were dazed for a moment. Qi Yun looked ordinary today, but there was a hint of charm between her eyebrows and eyes. She was wearing a smart little suit that wrapped her graceful figure very well. Any normal man who saw her would not be able to help but praise her as a female official with temperament.

Qi Yun's beauty would not make people think of matters between men and women, because Qi Yun was charming but not coquettish, and her beauty contained a hint of the dignity of an official, which made it difficult to arouse frivolous thoughts.

After Qi Yun went in, Yu Rui poured her a glass of water. Qi Yun said thank you, and Wen Jinglong took off his glasses, stood up from his chair, and sat opposite Qi Yun. He said, "Xiao Qi, I came to see you today. I'm sure you can guess why. The results of the survey on the preliminary project of Qionghan Integration surprised me. Especially the last paragraph of the analysis, I hope you can explain it to me in person."

Qi Yun nodded and reported to Wen Jinglong in a serious tone: "Secretary Wen, judging from the initial construction of the project, Hongda Group has carried out a series of basic facilities planning step by step. However, aside from the appearance, the seemingly stable initial construction has many risks behind it. After analysis by my colleagues and I, I am afraid that in less than two years, the Qiong-Han integration project will not only stagnate, but may even become a failed project."
