There is no expressway from Baisha to Wuling. Perhaps because Wang Maoliang got angry during the trip to Yanling, the leadership team of the Wuling Municipal Party Committee did not cross the border to greet him, but waited honestly in the Municipal Party Committee compound.
After some pleasantries, leaders of the Wuling Municipal Party Committee came to the conference room with Wang Maoliang and his entourage. Although it was already past dinner time, they didn't care to wait a little longer. They couldn't just go straight to the meal station as soon as they arrived.
Wang Maoliang said a few words briefly, to the general idea that this survey was to further understand the economic construction of Wuling, and it was definitely not to just take a quick look at the situation.
Wuling Municipal Party Committee Secretary Tang Yi did not give a work report, but asked Wang Maoliang for instructions on the inspection itinerary. After a brief speech, the group went to the Municipal Party Committee Guest House.
After lunch, Hu Fei went back to his room to rest, and went through the information about the leaders of the Wuling Municipal Party Committee in his mind. Tang Yi was transferred from the Provincial Party Committee Office, and the mayor Tian Mingze was a native of Wuling City.
Although the two of them cooperated well at the noon banquet, Hu Fei could still tell from their actions and expressions that the relationship between the two was not harmonious.
This is not a strange thing. Under the current system, the first and second leaders can urinate in less than the same pot. If the first and second leaders are too close, it will actually trigger the vigilance of the provincial party committee.
The way to power lies in checks and balances. If the first-in-command and the second-in-command are as close as one person, then where should the provincial committee be placed? Shouldn’t the provincial committee’s instructions be implemented if they want to be implemented, and not implemented if they don’t want to be implemented?
Hu Fei was somewhat familiar with Wuling. He had accompanied Qian Xiaomei to Wuling before, and he had also heard people talking about the situation in Wuling. Of course, ordinary people would not know much about the situation, nor would they care about the relationship between the big guys.
Infighting between the two.
What they care about is whether the government's actions can guide them out of poverty and onto the road to prosperity.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The knock on the door woke Hu Fei out of his thoughts. He stood up and walked over to open the door. He saw Tian Ming standing at the door with a smile, "Secretary-General Hu, I didn't disturb your rest, right?"
"No, I'm watching TV. Mayor Tian, please come in."
Hu Fei smiled and shook his head.
"Secretary-General Hu, are you getting used to living there?"
Tian Ming took out a cigarette and handed it to Hu Fei with a smile, "I read the speech you made when you accompanied the governor to Yanling for an inspection very carefully. Your speech really hit the key to the development of Yanling and made me feel
It's very deep. Our development in Wuling is not even the slightest bit worse than that of Yanling. You should give us a good boost this time."
His voice paused, "I heard that you are still our son-in-law in Wuling."
"Yes, my mother-in-law is also from Wuling."
Hu Fei lit the cigarette, took a puff, and said with a smile, "I accompanied my wife back here once before. I have to say that it's time to improve the traffic here in Wuling. It's not easy to come here."
"Yes, our city government has reported to the Provincial Department of Transportation several times, but there has been no reply."
Tian Ming sighed, "If you want to get rich, build roads first. This slogan is shouted loudly, but once they ask for money from the higher-ups, they forget this sentence again. Economic development is not something our grassroots leading cadres can do just by shouting a few slogans."
Sure, the city’s finances don’t even have enough money to eat, so how can we still have the money to build roads?”
"Mayor Tian, the province's finances are not tight either."
Hu Fei chuckled, "Some time ago, the provincial governor talked to me about financial issues. Now all the states and cities are staring at the little money from the Department of Finance. He is not a god and can't change the money."
"Building roads is a good thing. As long as the roads here are built, the reputation of the tourist destination will increase, and more tourists will come to Wuling. This will naturally lead to the rise of hotels, catering, service industries and other industries."
"As for the funds for road construction, you can think of ways yourself, such as government financing, or finding investors to build it, how many years will the two parties sign a contract to charge after the road is completed, and both parties will operate it jointly after the cost is recovered, etc. These are all things you can think of
There’s a way.”
Tian Ming's eyes lit up, "Secretary-General Hu, your idea is good, but where are we going to attract investment? Who would be willing to invest in the expressway? Why don't you introduce some to me?"
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this, with a wry smile on his face, "Mayor Tian, this is your municipal government's business. How can the deputy secretary-general of my provincial government have such ability?"
"Secretary-General Hu, otherwise I will discuss with the governor and ask you to come over. It just so happens that Lao Liu, who is in charge of tourism in our municipal party committee, will be here at the end of the year."
Tian Ming chuckled, "This is your wife's hometown. I believe your wife also hopes to see you build Wuling well."
"Mayor Tian, you think too highly of me. Economic construction cannot be driven by just one person. What is needed is the concerted efforts of all leading cadres of the municipal party committee and city government. One of them wants to go east, and the other wants to go west. Where is the nonsense?
We still have the energy to carry out construction.”
Hu Fei shook his head and reached out to pick up the water glass. Tian Ming's words really made Hu Fei a little tempted. Coming to Wuling as the deputy mayor of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee is indeed more suitable for him than serving as the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government office.
Moreover, local economies like Wuling have not yet developed, so it is easier to achieve results.
However, this kind of personnel adjustment is not something he has the final say on his own, and there are countless people in the two courtyards of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government watching. Besides, there are also people in the Wuling officialdom who are waiting eagerly.
"Secretary-General Hu, I sincerely invite you."
Tian Ming looked at Hu Fei seriously, "No one in the Jiangnan officialdom knows your name as Secretary-General Hu. If anyone gets you over, the economy will surely develop."
"Huoshan County has grown from a little-known little place to one of the top 100 economically strong counties in the country, and has even entered the top 90. This is a vivid example."
"I heard from the leaders of Yiyang, Deshan and other cities. They also reported to the provincial party committee that they want to invite you over."
Hu Fei was stunned and his eyes widened in astonishment, "Mayor Tian, you are exaggerating."
"It's true. When I had a meeting in the province two days ago, Yiyang Mayor Wang Lin and Deshan Mayor Lei Guofu mentioned this matter when they were chatting with me. You don't know, right? You are in hot demand right now.
It’s true, everyone thinks it’s a waste of talent for you to stay in the provincial government office.”
Tian Ming nodded, "Everyone thinks that you are young and forward-looking for economic construction and development. Now is the era when the economy takes the lead. Only when the economy improves can we talk about other things."
"However, I still hope that you can focus on our Wuling. After all, you also have feelings for Wuling, and the position we proposed is for the Standing Committee."
"Ah, am I so popular now?"
Hu Fei was dumbfounded. Could it be the consequence of his speech in Yanling last time?
There must be other reasons for this. There are different problems in the economic development of various cities. Hu Fei is not so arrogant as to think that he is a cure-all for all economic diseases.
Is it because Wang Maoliang's attitude towards him triggered the following people's associations?
