Fang Zhicheng was pondering Ning Qiangwei's words and felt a little overwhelmed. What exactly did she mean by this? Did she tacitly approve of the existence of those confidantes

That idea was very naive, so it just flashed through my mind. As long as she was a woman, she would never be so generous.

There was no storm that night, only calmness like water. Fang Zhicheng didn't know when an arm appeared in his arms. In his dream, Fang Zhicheng hugged the arm tightly to his chest, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world, not wanting to let it escape.

The distance between him and Ning Qiangwei was getting closer and closer, both physically and mentally, from infinitely far away to infinitely close. Fang Zhicheng knew that he had made up his mind to marry this woman and would give her enough happiness.

It is indeed not easy to support a local high-tech industry, because not everywhere has soil suitable for the growth of high-tech enterprises. Any cutting-edge technology requires professional talents and teams. Although Caoyao City has several universities, it is far from enough to support the development of a cutting-edge technology research enterprise.

However, Daofeng Carbon Fiber Materials Co., Ltd. is an outlier. Ji Chengjun is a returned PhD who originally studied in Germany and then worked for many years at the best German company Simon Group, specializing in advanced materials technology. After returning to China, he worked as a professor at Shuimu University in Yanjing for a period of time. Starting from the year before last, he attracted an investment and started his own business with his own research laboratory.

Daofeng Carbon Fiber Materials Co., Ltd. is still in its infancy. It introduced three production lines last year, but the number of orders is not enough and it has not yet fully opened up the market. The Development and Reform Commission of Caoyao City launched Daofeng because it saw the country's current emphasis on materials and Ji Chengjun's team had excellent qualifications, so they took a try-it attitude.

On the second day after arriving in Caoyao City, Fang Zhicheng discovered the huge potential of Daofeng after visiting the production line, and immediately called Su Lin. Because carbon fiber materials are currently mainly used in the aviation field, and his third uncle Su Lin specializes in the civilianization of aviation technology. Su Lin heard that there was a company in Caoyao City that could produce carbon fiber materials for aviation, and the research level was very high, so he immediately expressed his willingness to take time to come for a field investigation.

China's aerospace industry has been developing for many years, but it still relies on foreign countries for some core technologies, such as imports from Russia or the United States. If a local Chinese company can solve this problem, it will play a vital role in promoting the development of the domestic aerospace industry.

Fang Zhicheng introduced Daofeng to Su Lin just with the idea of giving it a try, without any particular purpose.

Ji Chengjun was born a scholar, and he was not good at operations. He was a little curious about the person Fang Zhicheng introduced, so he asked, "Director Fang, who was the person you just talked to on the phone?"

Fang Zhicheng remembered that he had Zhang Sulin's business card in his bag, so he took it out with a smile and handed it to Ji Chengjun. Ji Chengjun took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for several times, and was actually a little excited, "Secretary Fang, can I write down his number?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled. From Ji Chengjun's expression, he could tell that he knew the name of his third uncle Su Lin, so he said, "Mr. Ji, this business card is for you."

At the same time, he had a higher opinion of Su Lin. In the field of successful transformation of aviation technology, Su Lin was well-known and was a guest of honor at almost every field symposium. Ji Chengjun had listened to Su Lin's speeches several times, which had a great impact and touched him. He even resigned from his professorship at Shuimu University and went into business under the influence of Su Lin.

Seeing Ji Chengjun carefully put away the business card as if it were a treasure, Fang Zhicheng felt relieved. His trip was still very meaningful to Daofeng Company.

They stayed in Caoyao City for only two days, and the city arranged a vehicle to take the three of them to the next stop. As soon as the car got on the highway, a text message came from their mobile phone.

Sui Qi complained that no one contacted her when he came to Caoyao City.

Fang Zhicheng thought about it and replied to the text message, saying that he was busy with work and had a tight schedule, so they would meet again next time.

Coming to his classmate's place, Fang Zhicheng should meet Sui Qi, but perhaps because of Su Lin's last private conversation with him, Fang Zhicheng felt uneasy, and he didn't know how to face Sui Qi. Although family grievances should not be passed on to the next generation, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but think that he seemed to be living a free and easy life, but he knew that this was not the case.

Chapter 0845: The Hero of the Reform Era

The night is gentle, and the lights on both sides of the street are extremely penetrating, piercing the darkness and the inky water surface. The shadows of the trees on the opposite bank can still be cast on the lake, which is hazy and unclear, but has a unique kind of quiet beauty.

On the fifth day of the investigation, we arrived at the last stop, Zilan City.

The situation of high-tech industries in Huainan Province is not as good as shown in the written materials. Especially when walking down from the cities in the north of Huainan, Fang Zhicheng deeply felt that although China has always emphasized the development of science and technology, it has only taken a few steps. In the materials reported to the province, there are always a series of inspiring examples, but in fact, when you go to the grassroots, you can find that those are all packaged. The country has always emphasized mass innovation, but most entrepreneurs are still in the survival stage, and innovation is too far away for them.

Take Zilan City as an example. There is not a single high-tech enterprise in the city that can be proud of. Even if there is some technical content, it relies on the technical qualifications of others. If the partner withdraws, the enterprise will collapse.

If we put ourselves in their shoes, in third-tier cities like Zibo and Lanzhou, if entrepreneurs want to make money by relying on high-tech, on the one hand, they don’t have talent, and on the other hand, even if they have core technologies, there is no market around to recognize them. They want to promote core technologies, but they lack a circle and atmosphere.

Therefore, cities like Shenzhou, Yunhai, and Yinzhou have high-tech elements themselves, so they have a more suitable soil for promoting high-tech industries. But it is difficult for cities in the north and south of Huaibei.

Because of the difficulties, the more we have to solve the difficulties, standing in the position of director of the High-tech Industry Department, Fang Zhicheng had to consider how to guide the development of the province's high-tech industries and reverse the current situation. Because everyone knows that if Huainan wants to maintain rapid growth, it has to focus on several cities in the south of Huainan. This is why Fang Zhicheng chose to investigate here.

There were two black cars parked by the lake, with several people standing scattered around them.

The reception work of Zilan City and Caoyao City is different. In comparison, the reception work of Zilan City seems a little simpler. There are two reasons for such a difference. First, the two cities have different ideas when looking at high-tech industries. Caoyao City sees the potential of high-tech industries, but Zilan City does not have such awareness; second, the leaders in charge attach different importance to it. The deputy mayor in charge of the Development and Reform Commission only showed up at the meal, and was then accompanied by the director of the Development and Reform Commission.

However, this also made it convenient for Fang Zhicheng to understand the actual situation of Zibo City's high-tech industry from the director of the Development and Reform Commission.

After dinner, the crowd did not go to KTV or other leisure centers, but walked around the city's mother lake, Zilan Lake. Zilan City spent three years to build the Zilan Lake Scenic Belt, and even though it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, the belt was still very lively.

Zhang Zhen, director of the Development and Reform Commission of Zilan City, is ten years older than Fang Zhicheng, but he is already a young generation among the cadres at the department level in Zilan City. Zhang Zhen's father was once the former mayor of Zilan City, so Zhang Zhen's career in Zilan City has also been very smooth. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to successfully enter the city-level leadership team within five years.

After spending two days with Zhang Zhen, Fang Zhicheng learned a lot from him. There is a saying that goes, never underestimate the world. Fang Zhicheng has been in the officialdom for many years and rarely meets young people who are as knowledgeable as himself, and Zhang Zhen is such a person.

As the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Zilan City, Zhang Zhen has his own unique insights on regional planning and development. These insights not only include high-tech industries, but also involve all aspects of urban development. Fang Zhicheng actually has a kind of expectation of what kind of scene Zhang Zhen can transform Zilan City into in the future.

Zhang Zhen took a cigarette from Fang Zhicheng, lit it, took a puff, and said with a smile: "Director Fang, do you know the mentality of the grassroots?"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I came from the grassroots, so I naturally know the mentality of the grassroots. Regarding the various policies and instructions of the province, it is more of a coping and a farewell. From your perspective, the province does not know the specific situation at the grassroots level, and it is too high-level, so when you work, you must have a lot of complaints in your hearts."

Zhang Zhen got along with Fang Zhicheng and felt that they had common topics, so he spoke more casually. He nodded and smiled, "To say that we are just coping is a bit too negative. However, the grassroots development and reform committees have a lot of tasks, and they are often overwhelmed. Take the Zilan City Development and Reform Commission as an example. They often work overtime, but they don't achieve much."

Fang Zhicheng asked: "How do you think we can improve it?"

Zhang Zhen flicked the cigarette on his fingertips, and a few sparks popped out. He said slowly, "We need to be more pragmatic. I hope that the guiding documents issued by the province can be pragmatic and close to our actual work. Only in this way can we find the right direction, and avoid the situation where the upper level issues a policy and the lower level is confused and difficult to implement. By the time we really know how to start, the trend has already changed."

Fang Zhicheng nodded seriously and said, "Director Zhang, I'll take note of your suggestion."

The staff of the High-tech Industry Department went to 12 cities in the province to conduct a week-long investigation. After returning to the Development and Reform Commission, they first had a concentrated discussion, and then concentrated on sorting out the materials, and finally formed the "Research Report on the Status of High-tech Industries in Huainan Province". This report is more than 100 pages long, and it elaborates on the specific status of Huainan Province's high-tech industries and gives preliminary conclusions. Previously, similar research reports were generally compiled by the Provincial Development and Planning Institute, so the behavior of the High-tech Industry Department made other departments a little uncomfortable.

Shen Hanchun read the research report carefully, then hurriedly left the office and went to Building No. 1.

In the governor's office, Wei Qun frowned in deep thought. When he was halfway through the research report, he looked up and said, "Comrade Han Chun, who wrote this research report? The conclusion is very insightful and eye-opening."
