At eight o'clock sharp, Xiao Wang, the secretary of the top leader in Liaocheng, walked into the office half an hour early and reported today's arrangements to Meng Zongyue.
Like his boss, Xiao Wang is used to coming to work half an hour early so that it will not affect the secretary's daily work and allow the secretary to sign and approve documents quietly.
According to the practice within the system, these are the last two years of Meng Zongyue's leadership in Liaocheng.
In the past three years, despite Meng Zongyue's best efforts, he still could not prevent Liaocheng's economy from going sideways for a long time, or even falling.
Compared with the main leaders of other cities, Meng Zongyue knew very well that no matter how hard he tried, Liaocheng's economy would probably not be able to recover.
As a non-resource-based city in the north, the economic decline is not just a matter of the so-called government atmosphere among the people.
There are many reasons for this, such as industrial structure.
Liaocheng has advantages in the rapid development of industrialization, but when the industry faced transformation and upgrading, it fell behind and failed to keep up.
Moreover, the development of heavy industry in the past led to the existence of a large number of state-owned enterprises, relatively few private enterprises, and an unreasonable industrial structure, which further restricted the sustained growth of the economy, and the slowdown in GDP growth is also reasonable.
Since then, with the development of the economy, traditional manufacturing has also begun to decline, which has also led to serious overcapacity in Liaocheng's industry.
On the contrary, emerging industries such as the Internet, electronic communications, and finance are gradually becoming popular, and more such resources are concentrated in the coastal areas, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta.
Emerging industries have quickly become popular among young people, and Liaocheng's local talents and labor force are gradually losing, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to it.
In addition, Liaocheng itself is not considered a core city. You must know that megacities, especially core cities in large urban agglomerations, have natural advantages in gathering talents, funds, logistics, technology, and attracting large-scale projects at home and abroad.
The advantages.
Therefore, Liaocheng's economic decline over the past three years to its current situation is related to many factors such as industrial structure, business environment, and lack of leading cities. It is not just Meng Zongyue's problem.
Except for large state-owned enterprises and traditional industries, the city relies on a handful of private entrepreneurs to support itself.
During his tenure, he went all out to invest, and almost gave "top-level logic" to entrepreneurs and investment promotion.
In Liaocheng, as long as the creativity of enterprises and the development of the city are "in sync", it is not difficult to meet the main leaders and the mayor in Liaocheng, and let the main leaders, the mayor and a group of directors and district chiefs give the company a platform.
thing.
Sometimes the quality of the project is excellent and meets the development needs of Liaocheng. Even if the company does not open its mouth, local leaders in Liaocheng will take the initiative to find it.
As long as you are willing to invest in Liaocheng and become a city partner of Liaocheng, it will not be difficult for Liaocheng's leaders from top to bottom to meet.
Meng Zongyue himself has stated more than once that as long as department, district and city leaders feel the need, they are welcome to assign tasks to the secretary and mayor.
"If you feel you need me to come forward, no matter their size, grade, or influence, as long as they are truly worthy, I will listen to you and I will come forward for you."
Last year, Liaocheng held more than 100 large-scale and influential exhibitions.
Meng Zongyue attended many of these activities in person and had in-depth exchanges with participating entrepreneurs. In addition, some key projects were signed and started. As long as conditions permitted, Meng Zongyue would always be present at the platform.
If we make statistics based on public media reports on government affairs meetings, we will find that in the past 13 months, top leaders in Liaocheng have met with entrepreneurs more than 100 times.
What is even more noteworthy is that the secretary does not strictly follow the "principle of reciprocity" when meeting with entrepreneurs. Vice presidents, deputy general managers and even department heads of many companies can still sit down and chat with the top leaders in Liaocheng.
Meng Zongyue felt that he really tried his best.
This is the logic of Liaocheng’s treatment of entrepreneurs: as long as they are willing to become Liaocheng’s city partners, Liaocheng will be able to “receive them with the utmost respect” at all levels.
When we meet, we don’t have to talk about projects or money. Instead, we can talk about Liaocheng’s ideas and companies’ ideas, and look for the coupling point between entrepreneurs’ creativity and urban development. We don’t force cooperation and don’t let go of opportunities.
For example, after learning that the family of Gu Youwei, a middle-level cadre in the city, was the boss of an Internet company above designated size, Meng Zongyue immediately found an opportunity and promoted Gu Youwei to the position of deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission.
For the top leaders, this was just a casual move. Among the countless times Liaocheng showed its favor to entrepreneurs above designated size, it did not appear to be that special.
Regardless of whether he sought medical treatment in a hurry or showed the sincerity of Liaocheng's investment promotion, even so, Liaocheng's economy still has little improvement. Compared with developed cities that are changing with each passing day, it cannot stir up much splash at all.
...
Compared with other leaders, the secretary's office looks a bit simple, with flags, pen holders, calligraphy treasures, and landscape paintings.
There is a fish tank in the south of the office, with a 5cm long koi in it. The price is not expensive, and it is a good feng shui design.
"The secretary to the chairman of the Paradise Group called and said that the chairman Gu Yun returned home and asked when you would be free. He specially wanted to visit you."
Xiao Wang took the notes he had taken down on the phone and reported them to the leader intact.
Zhong Xingbang's guidance was very effective. With twenty years of experience in officialdom, he quickly helped Gu Yun clarify the priorities.
If he wants to use the ski resort as a fulcrum to leverage the established forces that are deeply cultivated in the western mountainous areas, Gu Yun's decision is also very simple. He must show matching gaming strength and let the people who have the final say in Liaocheng side with him.
He Xuan flew thousands of miles from Jiangcheng with several staff members, and made a call directly to the secretary in the early morning.
"Paradise Group?"
Meng Zongyue thought for three seconds and then said, "Is there a meeting this morning?"
"Secretary, there is a standing committee meeting at 9 o'clock in the morning."
"The Standing Committee has postponed it to the afternoon. You call the secretary of the board of directors of the Paradise Group back at about 9 o'clock. Go now."
Xiao Wang nodded and left the office. Meng Zongyue opened the computer at his desk, checked the information he was interested in, stood up and walked to the fish tank.
The koi in front of him have been with him for more than three years.
Even for the fish tank, he did not let his subordinates interfere and chose the simplest and most simple naked tank.
There is no landscaping or bottom sand, the koi carp is in the naked tank, swimming around happily every day.
The koi carp has many symbolic meanings. The first one symbolizes good luck and good days are coming; the second one symbolizes the title on the gold medal list, and the "carp jumping over the dragon's gate" is used as a metaphor for success, promotion and other things that lead to success; the third one symbolizes power.
.
For three years, this tank of koi seemed to have no effect at all and never brought any changes to him.
