Chapter 517 Wang Rucheng
Qi Tongwei echoed: "Comrade Anxia is right. We should still have confidence and not be intimidated by 400,000 people.
This is a challenge as well as an opportunity, and we must all seize it." He then looked at Ding Yizhen and said with a smile, "Old Ding is a new comrade, and I want to make a statement to you. If anyone of us does well this time, the provincial and municipal party committees will commend us.
Land in Beishan City is not easy to build on and sell. Do you have confidence?"
Ding Yizhen chuckled, "Mayor Qi, don't worry, this is my strength. As long as you give me the power, I will definitely sell it to you."
Qi Tongwei thought about it. He didn't dare to delegate power casually, but he also couldn't tie the other party's hands and feet. So he drew a limit and said, "I can give you power, but it's impossible to delegate it completely. I have a few conditions that you still have to abide by.
First, we cannot sell it at a low price. Although the land in Beishan City is not valuable now, I am still confident that it will be worth at least not worse than our second-tier city in Handong.
Second, you cannot sell things that should not be sold, such as arable land. This is a red line and you must pay attention to it. If the nature of various land uses can be maintained, do not change it easily.
Of course, if you have any plans, you can report them. If they are appropriate and in line with the overall plan, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will also consider them.
If you sell well, not to mention that you are only the deputy director of the Planning Bureau now, it is only a matter of time before you are promoted to the position of deputy director. As for further promotion, it depends on your ability."
Qi Tongwei didn't say that he couldn't treat them to meals or make arrangements. If he wanted to get along well with those businessmen, there would definitely be some mess.
If you want the horse to run but don't give it grass, how can it run?
But he couldn't say it directly, so he just followed Li Dakang's example and pretended not to know.
As long as the other party doesn't go too far, he can even protect the other party. If he goes too far, he will be powerless to do anything if he is bullied by the other party in the future.
Ding Yizhen's eyes lit up. "Mayor Qi, don't worry. If I hadn't joined this team, I would have been an excellent businessman. It's just a few pieces of land. I guarantee that I can sell them to you cleanly."
……
Early the next morning, Qi Tongwei and his delegation, accompanied by Wang Rucheng, Executive Vice Minister of the Organization Department, went to Beishan City.
From the provincial capital to Beishan City, you need to pass through Wenshan City and Tianzhou City, the whole journey is nearly 400 kilometers.
Leaving the provincial capital and heading north, there are Wenshan City, Tianzhou City, and Beishan City in that order.
The vehicle was not traveling fast because the road conditions were not good. It could even be said to be a bit bumpy, with potholes everywhere, comparable to the Lone Eagle Town back then.
Wang Rucheng secretly observed the newly appointed top leaders of Beishan City, but he did not see any impatience in their eyes. They were not at all like the gilded people he had imagined.
It’s no wonder Wang Rucheng thought so.
A 39-year-old municipal party secretary at the level of a provincial department and a -year-old deputy provincial department mayor are rare in the country. He doesn't believe that they could have climbed so fast without any backing.
Wang Rucheng was somewhat worried that the two would only carry out political achievement projects, and then walk away with their lives, leaving a mess in Beishan City and making the situation worse.
Looking at the people whose eyes were wandering outside the window, Wang Rucheng laughed and said, "Secretary He, Mayor Qi, it's not easy to get around in these northern cities of ours. Unlike Handong, where highways run through multiple provinces and cities, transportation is very convenient."
He Anxia smiled and said, "Actually, there are also poor places in Handong. My partner has been to several of them. This is nothing."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly and recalled, "Yes, when I was in Guying Town, the entire town committee compound was located in the mountains. There was only a muddy and bumpy mountain road leading to the county town. Whenever it was windy and rainy, traveling became a big problem.
Not only are vehicles difficult to pass, but even people walking on it have to be extremely careful, taking one deep step and one shallow step. If you're not careful, you'll fall flat on your face. Although this road is also bumpy and difficult to walk on, at least you don't have to worry about being blocked by wind and rain. Large vehicles can pass, and small cars can pass, which is already very good!
Wang Rucheng sighed, "Actually, this road used to be quite good. It's just that in recent years, the cities have been facing financial constraints, so everyone has been trying to save money wherever possible. It's been in disrepair for a long time, and that's why it's become like this."
He Anxia nodded to show his understanding.
In a market economy, due to untimely transformation, the economy in many places has declined instead of grown, so people have to tighten their belts to make ends meet.
Qi Tongwei frowned as he listened, "Minister Wang, you can't say that. There's a saying that goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. No matter how difficult it is, it is still necessary to maintain an important trunk line.
The importance of this to local development is self-evident.
Also, if my estimate is correct, it took us about half an hour to leave the provincial capital and enter Wenshan City, so our current location should be no more than 40 kilometers away from the provincial capital." He pointed to the prosperous and bustling town scene not far from the window.
"Look, judging from this township, Wenshan City's overall economic situation seems to be quite good, which means Wenshan has the ability to maintain this road.
Why did the local government turn a blind eye to such an obvious problem? Of course, I don't want to interfere in local affairs, but I just have a personal doubt. Could Minister Wang help me clarify it?
Everyone looked and found that it was indeed the case. Judging from the size and style of the town, it was quite prosperous, which means that Wenshan City was not that poor.
Wang Rucheng was somewhat surprised by Qi Tongwei's observation skills, but he did not answer Qi Tongwei's question. Instead, he smiled, a smile that was profound and meaningful. "This question is a long story, and it's really hard for me to explain it. After a while, you two leaders of the party and government will understand."
Qi Tongwei and He Anxia looked at each other, not understanding what Vice Minister Wang was keeping secret.
Since the other party didn't want to talk, the two of them didn't force it, so they changed the subject and asked about the situation in Beishan City.
This time, Wang Rucheng did not keep the suspense and told the two of them the history of Beishan City.
These are all familiar things, and the words are full of sighs for the glorious history of the past and confusion about the future.
"Everyone knows the history of Hangang. Its predecessor was the Hangang Institute, which has been an important steelmaking and steelmaking government in China since 1910. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was transformed into a national steel industry with a stroke of the pen from above.
Because of Hangang, the status of Beishan City has naturally risen. From the founding of the People's Republic of China to ten years ago, in the nearly forty years, many municipal party committee secretaries were concurrently deputy secretaries of the provincial party committee. Even if they were not deputy secretaries, they were at least members of the provincial party committee standing committee.
There were even rumors in the province several times that the name of Beishan City would be changed to Hangang City, but it was later delayed for various reasons.
These forty years have been extremely glorious for Beishan City.
It can be said that at that time, no one in the entire Hanjiang Province did not consider it an honor to work for Hangang, and cadres who had gained experience in Hangang Group were promoted faster than in other places.
To be honest, I was one of them back then, but more than 20 years have passed since then, and I haven't been back. It's thanks to you that I'm able to revisit this place."
