In the afternoon of that day, the news that Liu Haotian officially came to the High-tech Zone to concurrently serve as the director of the management committee had already spread throughout Xifeng City.
After many people heard the news, their first reaction was to be full of ridicule.
Because the status of Xifeng City High-tech Zone in the entire Xifeng City is well known, everyone knows that Xifeng City High-tech Zone cannot be supported, and it is a half-baked project left behind by the former Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Wei Delin, the current Municipal Party Committee Secretary, is not very interested in this project.
Without even taking a look, Mayor Xia Zehui put all his energy into the East Development Zone.
Nowadays, the East Development Zone is booming, with annual GDP reaching three to four billion yuan. It can be regarded as the most promising area in Xifeng City.
As for the West Development Zone, due to the lack of long-term planning and lack of funds when the previous municipal Party committee secretary was working on this development zone, the project disappeared completely after 3,000 acres of land was hastily expropriated.
No deputy mayor is willing to accept this development zone because the mess is almost impossible to clean up.
Because of this, after many people heard the news, their first reaction was that Liu Haotian was so ignorant that he had his head kicked by a donkey. Most of them were ridiculing.
No one thinks that Liu Haotian can develop the high-tech zone. Some people even said to others when making bets: "If Liu Haotian can develop the high-tech zone, I will take off my head and use it as a chamber pot for you!"
In Weidelin's office, Weidelin looked at Deputy Mayor Yang Guohua with a smile: "Old Yang, do you think Liu Haotian can develop the high-tech zone?"
Yang Guohua said with disdain: "If Liu Hao really wants to develop the high-tech zone, then I am willing to become his disciple! This is almost an impossible task."
Weidelin smiled and said: "As far as I know, Liu Haotian is very good at developing the economy."
Yang Guohua shook his head: "That's different. There is nothing in the Hi-tech Zone except 3,000 acres of wasteland. Even their office, the dilapidated two-story building, still belongs to the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Now it is borrowed from
Give them temporary use.
If Liu Haotian has no people, no money, and no resources, how can it rely on to develop a high-tech zone?"
Wei Delin said with a smile: "Old Yang, you really underestimate Liu Haotian when you say that. As far as I know, Liu Haotian has a close relationship with Hua Xiaoxiong, the president of Huaheng Group. Many of the projects Liu Haotian did in Jianglong County were
Hua Xiaoxiong’s support is inside.
If Hua Xiaoxiong is also willing to come to our Xifeng City to support Liu Haotian, Liu Haotian may not be able to do something great."
Yang Guohua still shook his head: "I've heard about this too, but I think Hua Xiaoxiong is willing to invest in Jianglong County because Jianglong County belongs to a developed area in the south, and the planning plan Liu Haotian made at that time is indeed
It is very attractive. Even if Hua Xiaoxiong does not invest, many people will be willing to invest.
But our Xifeng City is different. Our hardware environment is much worse than Qijianlong County, and the software is even different, so Hua Xiaoxiong will never come here to invest!"
Weidelin felt that it made sense after hearing Yang Guohua's analysis.
On the morning of the second day, Liu Haotian went directly to Mayor Xia Zehui's office.
As soon as Liu Haotian sat down, Xia Zehui smiled and said, "Liu Haotian, do you have anything to do with me?"
Liu Haotian nodded: "Mayor Xia, I came here this time to ask you. It seems that our High-tech Zone has 2 million financial funds every year, but this year, so far, this fund has not been allocated. This
Why? Now that I have passed, the work of the High-tech Zone will soon begin with great vigor, should we allocate this fund to us first?"
Xia Zehui shook his head: "Liu Haotian, I can tell you clearly that it is impossible to allocate this fund to you. Because allocating it to you is also a bottomless pit. This decision was made at the end of last year at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Rather
If the Hi-Tech Zone is left paralyzed like this, no more funds will be allocated.
This decision will not change due to the change of the deputy mayor in charge. Therefore, you should not think about this fund. If it were not for the existence of the development zone, we can expand the number of establishments in Xifeng City, which would have been canceled long ago.
.
So, you wanted to prepare it before, and Secretary Wei agreed to it, but you didn’t have the funds.
And I want to remind you that the wages of the existing staff are paid by the municipal finance. However, the wages of the 15 staff you want to go to must be paid by your development zone itself, and the municipal finance will not pay it.
burden.
Of course, when you take office as a new official, you cannot have any money. As mayor, in order to support your work, I can give you 300,000 yuan from my 3 million yuan mayoral fund. As your
Start-up capital for the development zone.
Although 300,000 yuan is indeed not much, there is no way, our Xifeng City is relatively poor, and the amount of funds that I, the mayor, can mobilize is only 3 million yuan."
Liu Haotian nodded slightly: "Mayor Xia, thank you, that's very interesting!"
Although 300,000 yuan is nothing in Liu Haotian's eyes, Liu Haotian knows that this 300,000 yuan is not a small amount for Xia Zehui. After all, this is Xifeng City, and Xia Zehui can allocate 300,000 yuan to himself.
It's enough to show that he values himself.
Liu Haotian pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Mayor Xia, I have an idea that I would like to discuss with you."
Xia Zehui smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have some bad ideas again. Just tell me. I'll see if I can support you?"
Liu Haotian said in a deep voice: "Mayor Xia, I think it is almost impossible to build a high-tech zone according to the traditional development zone model. This is why the high-tech zone has not been able to develop for so many years.
Therefore, I suggest that under the current background of the country vigorously promoting the reform of systems and mechanisms and vigorously promoting innovation to promote development, we ask the city government to regard our high-tech zone as a pilot unit and carry out vigorous reforms. The direction of the reform is to develop the zone.
The total salary is linked to economic development, tax growth, and radiating and driving effects. It is generally controlled at no more than three times the income of our local agency staff with the same conditions. At the same time, I plan to allocate the development zone into two parts. One part is social
The transaction management functional department and the development and operation functional department. The other is the promotion and coordination department.
These two units operate in parallel and are both under the framework of our development zone management committee. I, the director of the management committee, have overall responsibility. The two departments each perform their own duties.
In particular, social affairs management departments should establish a service-oriented mindset rather than a management-oriented mindset.
I believe that since it is reform and opening up, we should carry out innovative reforms of institutional mechanisms, accelerate the establishment of a more streamlined and efficient management system, a more flexible and practical development and operation mechanism, a more motivating and competitive cadre and personnel management system, and a more system-integrated system.
policy support system.
Our high-tech zone cannot function as a functional management department step by step like traditional high-tech zones. Instead, it must take a path of market-oriented reform and ultimately build our Xifeng High-tech Zone into a leading area for scientific and technological innovation in the city and a pilot area for deepening reforms.
, a pioneer area for opening up to the outside world, a gathering area for the conversion of old and new driving forces, and a demonstration area for high-quality development..."
Subsequently, Liu Haotian and Xia Zehui had a three-hour conversation.
After listening to Liu Haotian's long speech, Xia Zehui felt deeply shocked.
Xia Zehui never expected that Liu Haotian, the young deputy mayor, would have a higher position than the mayor. The most important thing was that Liu Haotian was bold enough, his thinking was broad enough, and his ideas were novel enough.
Xia Zehui was very interested in Liu Haotian's remarks.
In particular, Liu Haotian's proposal to divest social affairs management functions surprised Xia Zehui even more.
Because Liu Haotian proposed the concept of two divestments and one strengthen. The two divestments refer to the divestiture of social affairs management functions and the divestiture of development and operation functions. The first strengthen refers to strengthening the implementation of development plans, promoting policy implementation, coordinating service enterprises, and promoting industrial development.
and other economic management functions.
Under normal circumstances, no one would think that their power is small, and everyone wants to maximize their power, but Liu Haotian did the opposite and advocated stripping off social affairs management functions and stripping off development and operation functions. This is self-cutting.
Power?
Is Liu Haotian stupid?
If Liu Haotian was stupid, why did he include the three towns surrounding the High-tech Zone under the High-tech Zone Management Committee?
What is Liu Haotian’s purpose?
Xia Zehui stared at Liu Haotian for a long time, and then asked slowly: "Liu Haotian, I don't quite understand, why would you reduce your power?"
Liu Haotian said in a deep voice: "Mayor Xia, I believe that my plan is not just about self-reduction of power, but about achieving the goal of high-quality development by delegating some powers to grassroots towns and streets.
, free up the maximum human resources and financial resources, and seek to maximize the benefits of reform and innovation with a market-oriented approach. The ultimate goal of my reform plan is to accelerate industrial agglomeration and push the development zone into a high-quality development track."
After hearing this, Xia Zehui's expression was a little solemn: "Liu Haotian, this is the first time I have heard of your reform plan. It's really hard for me to give you an answer now, because your plan is too avant-garde and must be discussed by the Standing Committee.
, and even have to report to the provincial party committee for approval.”
Liu Haotian smiled: "I am mentally prepared for this, but I believe that Secretary Wei will not encounter any obstacles. After all, this is self-reduction of power.
Of course, our reform will definitely be gradual and will not be one-size-fits-all! I have a complete implementation plan for Mayor Xia to review."
As he spoke, Liu Haotian placed the plan he had already drawn up on Xia Zehui's desk.
Xia Zehui looked through it carefully, his face became serious and his brows furrowed tightly.
