The environment of the coffee shop is good, with dim lighting. The customers inside are also very cultured and talk in low voices, so as not to disturb the people at the neighboring tables. In such an atmosphere, Fang Zhicheng explained the idea of "smart city" clearly to Song Wendi and Zhao Qingya. Fang Zhicheng felt that he was more like brainwashing the two of them, using fresh ideas to transform their thinking.
In 2010, smart cities were still just a concept, and almost all governments in China had not yet realized the need to expand in this area.
Urban planning is more focused on transportation, industrial structure, and public facilities, but Fang Zhicheng realized the importance of smart cities.
Because there are already cities in the world promoting this concept, it will become a trend in urban development in the future. If transportation, industrial structure and other contents are compared to bones and flesh, then smart cities are the spirit and soul.
The concept of smart city is a bit complicated to explain. It is to fully integrate the new generation of information technology into the body of the city, giving the city life and wisdom.
There is such a possibility that in the future, sensors for collecting data, such as monitors, will be placed in every corner of the city, and then the data will be concentrated on the processor through the Internet of Things technology. A large amount of data will be gathered together and stored in the cloud server, and then the big data processing technology will be used to calculate accurate results.
If this trend continues, the data obtained by government departments as city managers will become more accurate. At the same time, by referring to the conclusions drawn from big data processing, government departments will be able to be more targeted in the process of formulating urban development plans.
To put it simply, the smart city becomes a huge robot. The government manager, who is also the operator of the robot, is located at the center and can know the operation status of the robot. They only need to issue instructions at the center to make the city take correct actions according to their own ideas.
Fang Zhicheng believes that the smart city plan has great potential and is also a trend for future government change. The main reasons are as follows: First, the rapid development of e-commerce has proved the power of the new generation of information processing technology. It is a bit pervasive and will completely subvert human living habits; second, the mature development of e-commerce will drive the development of e-government. Now many municipal departments have opened their own websites as a window to showcase their daily work. These websites are the initial state of smart cities; third, after working in the high-tech industry for a period of time, Fang Zhicheng deeply felt the power of science and technology. As long as the world that humans can imagine can be transformed into reality step by step with the advancement of science and technology. There are many advanced terminal devices now. Take smartphones as an example. They already have the computing power of large computers decades ago.
Back in the late 1980s, when telephones were just becoming popular, who could have imagined that now every citizen could walk around the streets holding a sophisticated mobile phone? Now that technology has armed the people, the next step should be to let technology arm the government.
At the coffee table, the three of them decided to slowly embed the idea of "smart city" into the Qiong-Han integration project. Fang Zhicheng received support from Song Wendi and Zhao Qingya. Without Song Wendi, the policy could not be implemented, and without Zhao Qingya, the funds would not be available, which is why Fang Zhicheng brought the two together for coffee.
Zhao Qingya received a call from the company and left first because she knew that Song Wendi and Fang Zhicheng, the master and apprentice, had other important matters to discuss.
When she left the coffee shop, Song Wendi looked at Fang Zhicheng with interest and said lightly: "Zhicheng, Chairman Zhao is the noble person in your life, you must hold on to her well."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand, smiled and changed the subject, saying: "Master, you are my benefactor. If I hadn't met you, how could I be here today?"
Song Wendi waved his hands, sighed, and said, "If it was a year ago, I could pat my chest and say that you can get to where you are now because you are my disciple; but now, you are more helpful to me. When we interviewed you, you said that you would be my lucky general, and this is true!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Something seems to be wrong inside the Development and Reform Commission recently."
Song Wendi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Because there will be job adjustments in the province."
Fang Zhicheng reacted quickly, lowered his voice, and asked, "Is Jiang Yong going to be promoted?"
Song Wendi nodded and said, "It is a foregone conclusion that the northern faction controls Huainan. We suppressed Jiang Yong for more than a year, but now Governor Bu has been transferred to the Ministry of Commerce, and we can no longer suppress him."
Fang Zhicheng let out a long sigh. He had not had much contact with Jiang Yong. Even in internal meetings, they only had simple exchanges. But Fang Zhicheng could feel Jiang Yong's hostility towards him. Back then in Xiaguang, he almost used him as a pawn to threaten Song Wendi.
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "No wonder there have been so many director meetings recently, but the department director meetings are just a formality. It seems that Jiang Yong is ready to use the Development and Reform Commission as his fortress. Even if he becomes the vice governor, he will use the Development and Reform Commission to stabilize his position and situation."
Song Wendi nodded and said slowly, "The organization is currently studying whether to allow Jiang Yong to continue to serve as the director of the Development and Reform Commission."
Fang Zhicheng took a deep breath and said, "Doesn't that mean Jiang Yong will be a member of the Standing Committee once he reaches the vice-provincial level?"
Song Wendi raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Although Jiang Yong has been in the post of the Development and Reform Commission for two years, strictly speaking, he has not made any outstanding achievements. Secretary Wen also realized that Jiang Yong is not acclimatized to the local environment, and it is no longer meaningful for him to continue to stay in the Development and Reform Commission. What's more, the new Governor Wei originally came from the National Development and Reform Commission system, so how could he let Jiang Yong take such an important position? Some time ago, Governor Wei took the initiative to talk to Secretary Wen alone. There was news that Jiang Yong was asked to give up the position of the Development and Reform Commission. As for who will be the director of the Development and Reform Commission, it will be up to Governor Wei to choose."
It turns out that there are such complicated situations. Fang Zhicheng sorted out the clues. Wei Qun wanted to control the Development and Reform Commission, so he proposed to promote Jiang Yong to vice governor. Of course, the premise is that Jiang Yong must give up the position of Development and Reform Commission. This calculation is ingenious and can be said to be a win-win situation.
After leaving the NDRC, Jiang Yong was able to make further progress. Wen Jinglong handed over the NDRC, which had not achieved any results, to Governor Wei, who was more knowledgeable about the tactics, and Governor Wei seized his core competitive advantage.
Of course, judging from Jiang Yong's recent actions, he obviously does not want to hand over the NDRC to someone else. Recently, several key positions have been adjusted internally. For example, Chen Ying, the director of the Personnel Department, was directly promoted to deputy director, which is a foreshadowing for his departure.
Seeing Fang Zhicheng seemed to be hesitant to speak, Song Wendi asked with a smile, "Do you want to know who has the hope of becoming the director after Jiang Yong leaves the Development and Reform Commission?"
Fang Zhicheng acted as if his thoughts were known, and said cautiously, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Master."
Song Wendi glanced at Fang Zhicheng unhappily, and said calmly, "Shen Hanchun has great hopes. Governor Wei and Shen Hanchun have been very close recently. Basically, whenever Governor Wei goes out for research, Shen Hanchun will accompany him."
Fang Zhicheng was surprised and asked, "Governor Wei is willing to sacrifice a piece?"
Song Wendi's face became serious and solemn, and he said, "This is also the cleverness of Governor Wei. Put yourself in his shoes. If you were Shen Hanchun, and your political career, which had been sentenced to death, suddenly saw a ray of hope, then what would you think of the person who helped you?"
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "A gentleman will die for his friend."
Shen Hanchun met his mentor Wei Qun in desperation. After he was re-employed, he must have been very loyal to Wei Qun. In addition, Shen Hanchun must have been full of disappointment with Li Siyuan. The Li faction had no feelings for him at all, so he switched to Wei Qun without any inner struggle.
Song Wendi nodded and said, "Although Shen Hanchun is from the Li faction, he has been neglected by the Li faction for many years. Governor Wei knows him very well. As long as he uses Shen Hanchun, he will definitely do his best to help him. In addition, after a few years of dormancy, Shen Hanchun's mentality is different from before. He must have become more mature and stable. A sharp sword is sharpened by grinding. Once it is unsheathed, it will surely amaze the world."
Song Wendi thinks highly of Shen Hanchun, mainly because Shen Hanchun is indeed one of the most outstanding figures of their generation. Shen Hanchun is the main designer and executor of Huainan Province's current situation. As early as the early 1990s, Zhejiang Province and Huainan Province were on par, but gradually Zhejiang Province surpassed Huainan Province.
Subsequently, Shen Hanchun formulated the famous "ant colony economic effect" strategy, increasing support for private enterprises in Huainan Province and focusing on tapping the potential of small and micro enterprises, which achieved great success.
Song Wendi smiled and said, "This is not a bad thing for you. I talked to him on the phone a few days ago. He still admires you very much. There are not many people who can catch his eye. By the way, when you finish writing the plan for the smart city, let him take a look and ask him to give you some suggestions."
Song Wendi has already regarded Fang Zhicheng as his disciple. Although no one can be trusted easily on the road to official career, Fang Zhicheng still clearly knows that Song Wendi is kind to him. Fang Zhicheng has made a lot of efforts on Song Wendi's promotion path. This is not only because Fang Zhicheng is loyal to Song Wendi, but also because he knows that he must climb up the big tree, under which it is better to enjoy the shade.
Song Wendi is strong enough to protect himself from many storms. Moreover, Song Wendi's mentality has changed. The Su family behind Fang Zhicheng has made Song Wendi realize that he has one more choice for his future. If Prime Minister Li Siyuan loses power one day, Song Wendi can also join another faction.
Therefore, the relationship between the two is very strong, even unbreakable. This is due to the emotional connection they have had for many years, as well as the interweaving of practical interests, which cannot be explained in just a few words.

Fang Zhicheng's career was greatly influenced by Song Wendi. Song Wendi was outstanding in both work ability and officialdom, so Fang Zhicheng called him Master from the bottom of his heart. Of course, as long as you are a person, you have weaknesses. Song Wendi has a passionate side in handling affairs, but he is more inclined to be calm, which has become more and more obvious after he was promoted to the vice-ministerial level. Qiongjin has not changed much in the past few years, especially in the main urban area, and there has been no major construction, which has made him criticized, and many people questioned Song Wendi.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Song Wendi. Qiongjin is an ancient city, especially the main urban area where every inch of land is valuable. Any slight disturbance will involve unpredictable amounts of money.
