Songzhou's squeeze on surrounding cities is not limited to its own province. It also puts huge pressure on the bordering areas of Hubei and Anhui provinces in the north. The economic situation in southeastern Hubei and southern Anhui is still disappointing compared with Songzhou.

Worry, this is probably also a comfort to the leaders in Changjiang Province.︾,

Su Qiao's GDP in the first half of the year continued to rank second in the province, second only to Sui'an, and the gap with Sui'an is still narrowing. This also proves that Su Qiao is not willing to be replaced by Sui'an as the first in the province.

In this pattern of economically strong county status, we must strive to regain this lost championship.

Now that Changzhou has completely withdrawn from the competition for the top three counties in the province's top ten counties, the top three counties in the province have become a rivalry in Songzhou. The ranking of the three Songzhou districts and counties, Sui'an/Suqiao and Luxi, has been decided.

The ranking of the top three in the province. However, according to statistical standards, Luxi will withdraw from this ranking list this year due to changes in urban population proportion. Lucheng County will take over. Songzhou's monopoly on the top three will not change.

.

Due to the strength of Songzhou's real economy, many large-scale foreign service companies that choose to settle and develop in Changjiang no longer consider Changzhou, the provincial capital, but Songzhou as their first choice.

For example, KFC/McDonald's/Haagen-Dazs/Dicos have opened more stores than Changzhou. Some luxury stores and counters have also turned their attention to Songzhou, such as Everbright/CITIC/Ping An/

For joint-stock banks such as Hengfeng Bank, even if their branch is not in Songzhou, it will definitely be established in Changzhou and Songzhou at the same time.

The change in this trend is the most obvious. Wherever the economy is most active, that is where these commercial service companies are most attracted.

"Secretary Lu, we can't control so much. You have mentioned that our target is not the province, but cities such as Su*zhou/Landao/Hangzhou. Now we are still far apart. We still have to

You have to work hard." Chen Qingfu disagreed.

"That's true. We don't have that much energy to lament others right now. We should do our own work well and narrow the gap between us and coastal areas. This is the top priority." Lu Weimin said with a smile: "Ours

The development is also very unbalanced. There are good ones like Sui'an/Suqiao, but there are also unsatisfactory ones like Zekou and Lieshan. There are also developments like Shazhou and Songcheng that still lack some foundation. This is our biggest problem.

hidden worries."

"Secretary Lu, you don't have to worry too much. In fact, I personally think that the comprehensive and balanced development you hope for is an unscientific extravagant hope. The conditions of each district and county are different, and development has its own sequence. How can it be possible for the eel and loach to be pulled in?

Same length? This itself is inconsistent with the development of things.

It's a law of development." Chen Qingfu also rarely debated with Lu Weimin, "Like Zekou, it does not have the conditions for large-scale industrial development. I suggest that it should be treated differently, and some counties should be given appropriate reductions in industrial development.

pressure. At the same time, it also provides more outlets and support.”

Chen Qingfu's words also touched Lu Weimin. Indeed, a purely agricultural county like Zekou is not far or close to the urban area. Under the current situation, especially the neighboring Suqiao/Sui'an/Luxi and Lucheng

These economically strong counties already have considerable industries

In addition to the rapid development of the Economic and Technological Development Zone, these districts and counties have a strong ability to attract capital and projects. In front of these districts and counties, Zekou basically does not have many opportunities. In fact, if Zicheng

It's just as difficult to achieve a breakthrough as it is to find a different approach.

"Old Chen, your opinion is very reasonable. I am still a little too persistent and even a little paranoid. I always think that every district and county can develop as I want, but in fact this is impossible.

, it’s not realistic, it seems I have to learn to keep a normal mind, I always can’t let go, and the result is making myself uncomfortable.” Lu Weimin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Yes, Secretary Lu, actually we have done very well in Songzhou. Thinking about our situation seven or eight years ago, and looking at our current performance, our performance in Songzhou is also worthy of pride." Chen Qingfu is not without pride.

De said: "According to the current development situation, we have every reason to believe that we can be on par with developed cities in coastal areas. They are not much better than us. We can have what they have, and maybe we have what they don't have."

Lu Weimin also found it interesting to see Chen Qingfu become so high-profile and confident all of a sudden.

Chen Qingfu has always been a relatively low-key person, and is used to doing things without saying anything on many issues. It is probably because the development of Songzhou in the past year or so has been so exciting that he behaves like this.

"Old Chen, you are still too optimistic. It is true that we have some things that they do not have, but you have to see that we do not have many things that they have, especially in terms of the conceptual understanding of our cadres and in our economic and market environment.

In terms of atmosphere creation, many people may not care much about this kind of soft environment, but this

It is precisely what is most needed after the economic development reaches a certain stage. The proportion of our primary, secondary and tertiary industries is still very unreasonable, and the dominant pattern of the secondary industry has not been substantially improved. In developed cities in coastal areas, this aspect

Once we reach the front, we have to work hard to catch up."

Lu Weimin agreed with some of Chen Qingfu's views, but still felt that Chen Qingfu was too optimistic.

The improvement of the soft environment does not happen overnight, especially the cultivation of concepts and consciousness, which is a big problem. It is said that the nature of a country is easy to change but hard to change. This shows how difficult it is to transform deep-rooted thinking and concepts.

With the development of the economy, competition in various places will also enter a high-level competition. Especially Songzhou has to compete with cities such as Hangzhou/Suzhou/Dalian/Landao, and its competitiveness factors are also incompetent with those of other inland cities.

Same, what infrastructure, land/power and other elements are already required?

Put it on the next level, such as soft environment/talent/cultural life atmosphere, and entrepreneurial environment. These are the core. In the final analysis, it is how to create an environment that is most suitable for talents to start a business and the most suitable for incubating technology projects.

Environment, this is the competitive advantage in advanced business formats.

The core of such an environment is people. How can people live here comfortably, start businesses with peace of mind, and invest with confidence? To achieve these, this is the most critical thing.

Songzhou is precisely the weakest in this area. Compared with the richness of the secondary industry, Songzhou is in the creation of a soft environment and the improvement of urban taste and charm, which is comparable to Hangzhou/Da*lian/Landao and

Compared with cities like Su*zhou, there is still a big gap, and compared with Shenzhen, the gap is even bigger.

Lu Weimin believes that the next step in the work of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government needs to make a big fuss in this regard.

Tomorrow's Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee will mainly summarize the work in the first half of the year, and also clarify and discuss the province's development ideas in the second half of the year.

This is the first time Lu Weimin has participated in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

As the most junior member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee with the strongest economic development momentum at present, he is also the core of the Changzhou Songzhou-Kunhu Lake Golden Triangle Strategy proposed by the Provincial Party Committee. He will inevitably be asked to serve in this

Make your own statement at the meeting.

How to express your own views and ideas on this issue, you must not only combine the situation in Songzhou, but also not be limited to Songzhou, but also focus on the entire province, especially the two poles of Changzhou and Kunhu, to put forward your own ideas.

This is also the test question before Lu Weimin.

This question was also the first test paper Lu Weimin submitted to the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, and it also determined Lu Weimin's impression in the minds of all Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee members.

Although the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee knew about it before, they were not so intuitive. It was almost like an interview with the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee, which made Lu Weimin still a little nervous.

Yue Shuangting carefully adjusted the collar of Lu Weimin's shirt, then took a step back and carefully inspected Lu Weimin's belt and trouser pockets for any inappropriateness. After looking at it for a while, she nodded with satisfaction.

Knowing that Lu Weimin was going to participate in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee for the first time, Yue Shuangting originally did not want Lu Weimin to come to her.

For such a major matter, Lu Weimin had to stay at his place for the first night. With Lu Weimin's temperament, he would inevitably have to show affection and affection. If someone got a clue, wouldn't he become the culprit?

So Yue Shuangting begged Lu Weimin to go back to Lu Weimin's parents' house, but Lu Weimin refused to leave on the pretext that there was no one to clean up for him the next day. In the end, Yue Shuangting still didn't resist Lu Weimin and could only let him stay at her house overnight.

After a night of fun, although her body was a little weak, Yue Shuangting still got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast for Lu Weimin. She also had to prepare suitable clothes for Lu Weimin.

When attending such a formal meeting, and it is Lu Weimin's first appearance, he must be serious. Although a white short-sleeved shirt can easily make people look old-fashioned, it is suitable for Lu Weimin. The youngest member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee is also younger than Lu Weimin.

He is more than ten years older and it is obviously not smart to dress Lu Weimin too young.

The trousers are a very simple pair of light-colored casual trousers. After all, given Lu Weimin's age, he also has to imitate other members of the Standing Committee to dress in an old-fashioned way. It also has a bit of a cover-up, so combined with this, it neutralizes it.
