Chapter 902: Officialdom Is Always Difficult to Distinguish Friends and Foes
The air conditioner in the conference room is turned on very high, and the LCD TV in the center is playing news about Director No. 1 visiting many companies in the Shenzhou Economic Development Zone. The room is filled with smoke, and most of the directors are old smokers. One after another, they occasionally exchanged a few words in a low voice, but on the whole they remained quiet. Shen Hanchun held a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at Fang Zhicheng from the corner of his eyes from time to time. He had been very concerned about Fang Zhicheng's movements recently and was walking with Chu Siyuan. Being so close made him feel surprised and worried. After all, Chu Siyuan posed a great threat to him in the National Development and Reform Commission, far more than anyone else.
What surprised Shen Hanchun was that Fang Zhicheng had already established a firm foothold in the National Development and Reform Commission after serving as deputy director for only a few months. This strong ability to adapt is scary, and the National Development and Reform Commission is not an ordinary department. Do you think? It is difficult to condense core competitiveness.
Fang Zhicheng did not smoke, but buried his head in his notebook and wrote down a paragraph from time to time. This was Fang Zhicheng's habit. It was not that he did not smoke, but he rarely smoked during meetings. He developed it when he was Song Wendi's secretary. Habits are naturally difficult to change.
Fang Zhicheng now holds the trump card in his hands. Not only does he firmly control the High-tech Industry Department, Development Planning Department and other departments, but he also serves as the deputy director of the Strategic Emerging Industries Development Leading Group Office in the Provincial Government Office.
Judging from the inspection of Shenzhou by the No. 1 head, the central government attaches great importance to the development of new fields of economy. More than 90% of the enterprises are innovative. The scale of the enterprise is not necessarily large, but the field of business must be Ranked among the best.
With a clear attitude and clear goals, the layout of the industrial structure will focus more on emerging industries.
After the news ended, Shen Hanchun glanced around and said slowly: "Today we have gathered everyone to watch the news, mainly to discuss the adjustment of the economic structure of our province in the next stage. Next year is the first year of the 12th Five-Year Plan, and everyone has already divided their respective responsibilities. The outline of the department formation plan was submitted, and I have read it carefully. I can only say that it is more than steady and not aggressive enough. Therefore, on the basis of the original, we must strive for excellence and further improve it. The specific direction, we can learn from the news just now You should be able to get inspiration from it.”
Chu Shiyuan put out the cigarette butt and said slowly: "Huainan's economic structure now has a characteristic, that is, there are many small businesses based on private workshops, most of which are family businesses. They are mainly engaged in basic manufacturing work and have no technical content. The economic structure is undergoing transformation, so where should these small businesses go?”
A cold light flashed in Shen Hanchun's eyes. Chu Shiyuan's words seemed to have no special meaning. In fact, they pointed out the "ant colony economic effect" that Shen Hanchun was once proud of. Under the guidance of the policies at that time , many individuals started to start businesses and established workshop-style enterprises, similar to ant colonies supporting the economic development of Huainan.
It's not easy for Shen Hanchun to answer the phone, because once he does, he will be at a disadvantage.
Cao Cen, who is very close to Shen Hanchun, saw the opportunity and said: "One moment and another. The economic effect of the ant colony has been recognized as a classic strategic layout, which has allowed Huainan's economic development to maintain a high growth trend in the past ten years. But the economy Strategies must change in line with the times. Every year, the central government emphasizes transformation and upgrading, which is to improve on the original basis and keep up with the times. Even if we do not take the initiative to change, those backward productive forces without technical support will be eliminated, and small businesses will also be eliminated. We will encounter bottlenecks in growth and development. Therefore, in order to help those small businesses, we must make changes in advance and guide them to develop in a healthy direction."
Cao Cen used to be a university professor and had strong theoretical knowledge. After this analysis, Chu Siyuan was inevitably at a disadvantage.
Fang Zhicheng put down the pen in his hand and said: "Director Shen's meaning today is clear. He hopes that everyone can work together to provide a reasonable direction for the 12th Five-Year Plan. The questions raised by Director Chu are very sharp. Although Director Cao gave analysis, he did not answer them. To get to the point. Because the specific situation of those small businesses is very complicated and not easy to guide. For example, a small private hotel supplies company that produces disposable shoes and hats has fixed orders every year and a complete assembly line, so it can be self-sufficient. Why? Do you want to transform?"
There was a brief silence.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Only when they encounter a survival crisis will they realize that they need to transform. The reason why Zheyuan Province's economic situation has been getting better and better in recent years is because their small businesses have fierce competition. A new model has emerged. Now there are many entrepreneurs in Zheyuan. They use e-commerce to open stores without renting physical shops. They realize transactions through virtual networks and the cost is very low. Now many small businesses in Zheyuan Province have been threatened, and they have many orders. They were all robbed by these entrepreneurs, so they had to transform, join the e-commerce army, and pay attention to the expansion of Internet channels, which is still rare in Huainan."
Cao Cen was silent for a while and then said: "Director Xiao Fang, do you think we should learn from Zheyuan's experience and vigorously develop e-commerce?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said: "E-commerce has just started now, and Zheyuan Province is not far ahead of us, so now it is starting to pay attention to the dynamics of e-commerce, giving priority to supporting e-commerce platforms in the province, and then driving small businesses to carry out industrial upgrading. This That’s my train of thought.”
Chu Shiyuan patted the table gently and said: "I have long heard that Xiaguang has an Internet industry base that is doing well. Now Xiaguang's small businesses have been revitalized. Director Fang's point of view is also well-founded. I agree with this ideas, and incorporate the development of e-commerce into the next key breakthrough areas of the province’s economic planning.”
Shen Hanchun said nothing, and several other deputy directors also expressed their opinions. Their attitudes and positions were not firm. They analyzed the pros and cons, but did not get to the key points.
After everyone had finished the discussion, Shen Hanchun made a concluding speech, "Today's meeting was very effective. Everyone spoke freely and conducted an in-depth analysis of the ideas of the 12th Five-Year Plan. Comrade Zhicheng's suggestions were refreshing, but the layout was a bit small. It seems that e-commerce is not enough to drive the transformation of the province's economic structure, so careful research is still needed."
After speaking, he announced the end of the meeting, packed up the notebooks and pens on the table, and slowly walked out of the conference room. Cao Cen followed closely behind, half a step behind, walking beside him.
Cao Cen said in a low voice: "It's very surprising that Chu Siyuan and Fang Zhicheng come together, and the National Development and Reform Commission will be complicated in the future."
Shen Hanchun had a very serious expression on his face, frowning tightly, and said calmly: "The two bosses are in the honeymoon period now, so it is natural for them to get closer."
Cao Cen reminded: "You must not let it develop, otherwise, some problems will arise. Chu Siyuan does not need to worry too much, but Fang Zhicheng's potential cannot be underestimated. At the meeting today, despite the views he said, E-commerce is too exaggerated, but judging from the current situation, it is indeed a good idea. If you can't keep such a person, then give him a ride."
Shen Hanchun shook his head and said: "This is an uncertain factor. As for whether he leaves or not, that will have to be discussed again."
Fang Zhicheng and Chu Siyuan walked side by side. It was no longer a secret that the two had reached an alliance, so there was no need to hide it.
Now the National Development and Reform Commission is divided into three groups, one is headed by Shen Hanchun, the other is headed by Ni Mingyang, and the third is Fang Zhicheng and Chu Shiyuan.
Fang Zhicheng entered Chu Siyuan's office. The secretary brought tea. Chu Siyuan took a sip of tea, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Director Shen's performance in the meeting today, did you feel surprised?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said: "People will change. I have had a lot of contact with Shen Hanchun. I originally thought he was open-minded enough, but after getting to know him for a long time, I found that he is still narrow-minded."
Chu Shiyuan analyzed: "When a person reaches a certain position, his behavior will be affected by interests. It is undeniable that Shen Hanchun was once a genius, but after all, he was left out for many years and accumulated too much desire for power in his heart. You and me Being together now threatens him, so he behaves cautiously."
The officialdom is so unpredictable. A moment ago, Fang Zhicheng had a harmonious relationship with Shen Hanchun and was incompatible with Chu Siyuan. However, at this moment, it was completely the opposite. He and Shen Hanchun were on opposite sides, and he and Chu Siyuan were having long conversations.
Fang Zhicheng looked at Chu Siyuan's office. There were not many decorations. It could be seen that Chu Siyuan did not have many pursuits. In a sense, he and Zhao Guoyi were similar people. They had high material requirements and devoted themselves to their work. The Central Committee is crazy. Because of his management, when Jiang Yong was conducting various reforms at the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission could still ensure that the overall situation remained unchanged.
Fang Zhicheng sighed: “Now officials across the province are immersed in an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, thinking that Huainan is in an absolute leading position among more than 30 provinces, but in fact it is inferior to Zhejiang, Nanyue, Yanjing, and Yunhai. What happened? Society is developing and changing, and Huainan is in a leading position because of its good foundation and superior geographical location. But no one knows the changes in the future. Huainan must inject vitality into it."
Chu Siyuan looked at Fang Zhicheng and couldn't help but think of himself more than ten years ago. At that time, he was also passionate. After joining the National Development and Reform Commission, he wanted to show off his talents, but unknowingly, he had lost his enthusiasm and worked like a machine. .
Chu Siyuan sighed: "It's really good to be young. You are actually the source of Huainan's vitality. Don't worry, I will support your idea. As for Director Shen, I will also take the initiative to communicate with him. Old Shen, I Understand that he will never be confused on issues of principle."
If Chu Siyuan took the initiative to discuss with Shen Hanchun, the problem could still be solved, but Fang Zhicheng knew that he and Shen Hanchun would go further and further apart because of this. Fang Zhicheng was still a little grateful to the wrinkled Director Shen. After all, if it weren't for him , my own path to the National Development and Reform Commission will never be so easy.
It is always so difficult to distinguish between friends and foes in officialdom.
