The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Yes, thank you leaders for your support for me and the work of Liuhe."

"Song Fei, how is the preparation for the opening ceremony of the Liuhe Economic and Trade Fair going?" Tong Quanming asked.

"Secretary Tong is ready, and the opening ceremony will be held on time at 9:30. We have prepared three venues for this event, one for the opening ceremony, one for the exchange and observation, and one for the signing ceremony. The three venues will be held in sequence. So far, there are nearly a thousand companies participating in this exchange event, and more than 40 companies have signed contracts on the spot, involving nearly 10 billion yuan." Song Fei reported in an orderly manner.

Li Wujiang was really shocked when he heard it. A small Liuhe County attracted 10 billion yuan in investment at one time.

The huge Bianzhou City only attracted more than 3 billion yuan in investment in half a year. Such a gap is obvious. To be honest, he really should bring the comrades of the Bianzhou City Investment Promotion Bureau to see it and make them ashamed.

"Secretary Tong, at this speed, I think the economy of Nandu City will soon surpass Bianzhou, which is gratifying." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

"Secretary Li, if you hadn't come to Bianzhou, our Nandu City would have really given it a try, but now that you're here, I know there's no hope for Nandu. Our current goal is to surpass Fengzhou and keep up with Bianzhou's pace." Tong Quanming and Li Wujiang are familiar with each other and speak freely.

"Hearing what you said, Bianzhou should work hard and should have the style of a big brother. But Bianzhou also needs to learn from you. After returning, I will let the comrades from the Merchants Bureau lead the team to learn from you."

Due to time constraints, Li Wujiang and his party did not go to the Liuhe County Party Committee compound, but went directly to the opening ceremony. The opening ceremony was held at the Sports Center, with colorful flags flying and crowds of people. This was definitely a grand event.

The opening ceremony of the Liuhe County Economic and Trade Negotiation and Exchange Conference was hosted by Chang Yafei. Li Wujiang was invited to deliver the opening speech. As soon as Li Wujiang came on stage, the applause from the audience was thunderous and lasted for a long time. In the end, it stopped at Li Wujiang's wave.

Originally, Liuhe County had prepared a speech for Li Wujiang, and Li Haitao had reviewed it. But Li Haitao found that Li Wujiang had not read the speech at all. He found that Li Wujiang had become a different person after returning to Nandu City, and he was more energetic. What he saw and heard along the way made him feel the love of the people of Nandu City for Li Wujiang, which is the great charm of a person.

"Dear fellow villagers, Liuhe is my second hometown. I am very excited and moved to return to Liuhe. I am excited that Liuhe County has undergone earth-shaking changes and the people have a good life. I am moved that the people of Liuhe County have not forgotten me as a child and have given me great favor on my way back. Here, I want to say thank you and blessings to the fellow villagers of Liuhe County. I, Li Wujiang, am the son of Liuhe County once, and I will always be the son of Liuhe."

Li Wujiang's words were very inflammatory and completely deviated from the main theme of the leader's speech. The citizens below also cooperated. Shouting loudly, "Secretary Li, you will always be our most beloved and respected secretary. Liuhe will always welcome you home."

The words "Liuhe will always welcome you home" echoed over the sports center.

"Old Tong, look, only Secretary Wujiang has this courage and such charm. It really makes us ashamed to hear it." Ding Zhongping said.

Tong Quanming also had a bitter smile on his face. The economic exchange meeting that was supposed to be held turned into a personal speech by Li Wujiang. "The people are grateful and repay their kindness. The people have always remembered the contributions made by Secretary Li."

Li Wujiang saw that the scene was too enthusiastic, so he did not continue his long speech. He said some blessings and left.

"Secretary Wujiang, just now I and Old Tong were still saying that a local opening ceremony like yours is unique in the country. Maybe you will become famous." Ding Zhongping sat next to Li Wujiang and said with a smile.

"The people of Liuhe County are too enthusiastic. I didn't expect this." Li Wujiang said with a bitter smile.

With Li Wujiang's personal speech, the atmosphere of the opening ceremony in Liuhe County reached a climax. Later, accompanied by Tong Quanming and Chang Yafei, Li Wujiang visited the venue of the exchange meeting. Familiar companies such as Liuhe Winery, Yuebanwan Mineral Water Company, and Jijiaojian Tourism came into view. The heads of these companies took the initiative to shake hands with Li Wujiang when they saw him.

Li Wujiang did not stay in Liuhe in the end and returned to the provincial capital on the same day. This was mainly because the citizens of Liuhe were too enthusiastic, and he was worried that his stay in Liuhe would bring unnecessary trouble to Liuhe County.

Chapter 747 The temple is small and the demons are strong

Originally, Li Wujiang went to Liuhe to attend the opening ceremony, which was a normal official activity. But it changed in the provincial party committee compound. Before he came back, it was rumored that this was a eulogy meeting. For Li Wujiang alone, Liuhe County mobilized a large number of troops and invited tens of thousands of people to pave the way for him.

Li Wujiang only knew about such rumors when he received a call from Feng Yun. Li Wujiang told him not to worry about it, and the innocent will be innocent.

"Nansheng, I think Huayuan is really a small temple with many evil spirits. Secretary Wujiang just attended an event and hasn't come back yet, but rumors are flying everywhere." Cai Zhenxiang also heard such rumors, so he called Luo Nansheng over early in the morning to inquire about the situation.

"Yes, I also asked about the situation in Nandu City immediately. Secretary Quan Ming said that this was a spontaneous behavior of the people in Nandu City and was not actively guided by the government at all. Secretary Wujiang was also worried that because of himself, he would cause chaos in Liuhe County and end it early. He caught the incident and rushed back that night. "As the chief secretary, Luo Nansheng must be on top of any rumors or rumors immediately. When the leader asks, he can deal with it.

"Oh, it seems that Secretary Wujiang has a lot of influence in Nandu City."

"The influence is definitely there. After all, Liuhe County in Nandu City jumped from a poor county to the number one county in the province during his tenure. The people remember their gratitude."

"Since he has such ability, he should focus on economic development. It's been half a month, and I don't see any movement in Bianzhou. Fengzhou and Nandu are about to catch up. He The leader of Bianzhou City is not in a hurry, I am worried for him." Cai Zhenxiang was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Wujiang's indifferent attitude and lack of eagerness to develop the economy.

Of course Luo Nansheng also saw Cai Zhenxiang's attitude. However, he still understood Li Wujiang. He had only arrived in Bianzhou for half a month. To put it bluntly, the personnel and economic situation were not clear, so Li Wujiang was forced to start a big fight. Everyone had climbed up from the grassroots level. Everyone knows that if the foundation is not strong, the ground will shake. If it were him, he wouldn't do this. "The theme education activities in Bianzhou City are already in full swing. Next, Secretary Wujiang should be free to seriously study the economic development of Bianzhou City."

"You need to strengthen the management of personnel in the Provincial Party Committee, especially the work style rectification. Some people spread gossip just because they have nothing to do. In addition, the Provincial Party Committee Office must also strengthen the management of the activities attended by provincial leaders. The There must be clear definitions of what activities should be attended and what activities should not be attended. Extravagance and waste and personality worship are strictly prohibited.”

Seeing Cai Zhenxiang's strange look, Luo Nansheng said nothing more.

Due to personnel adjustments in Bianzhou during this period, not only more people visited Li Wujiang, but also more people visited other municipal committee members. The municipal party committee compound suddenly became lively. In order to avoid such visits, Li Wujiang took Tang Lixin and Li Haitao to Yong'an City to investigate the development of theme education activities. Yong'an City is a county-level city and is still under the jurisdiction of Bianzhou City.

In the car, Li Wujiang took the initiative to talk to Tang Lixin.

"Secretary-general, the municipal party committee has been very busy recently. If you take the initiative to participate in the transportation project, Bianzhou City will make big moves in the transportation project. I have told Mayor Song that the municipal party committee will assist in the participation."

To be honest, Tang Lixin was a little confused. He didn't know why Li Wujiang wanted him to participate in the transportation project. "Secretary Li, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with Mayor Song to implement the transportation project."

"Instead of cooperating, you have to take the initiative to participate in this project. Now the city government team is understaffed and the work of the city government is relatively tight. You have to take the initiative to report to Mayor Song. You have to take the initiative to coordinate with the Transportation Bureau, Planning Bureau, and Land and Resources Bureau. Do a good job in the preliminary planning work to ensure that it can be implemented as soon as possible. "Li Wujiang has been quite satisfied with Tang Lixin for a while. He has also learned about Tang Lixin's background. He is relatively clean, has good abilities, and is willing to work. For such a person, he needs to find a way out for him. The position of Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee has been decided on Feng Yun. Only the deputy mayor is available for other suitable positions in Bianzhou City. So he planned to make some plans to get Tang Lixin to join the government.

Tang Lixin is also a smart man. Hearing what Li Wujiang said, he roughly guessed what Li Wujiang meant. He is now the deputy secretary-general. Even though there is only one word difference between deputy secretary-general and secretary-general, the gap is actually very big. Is there anyone who goes from deputy secretary-general to secretary-general? There must be. Although he also thought about becoming a full-time employee directly, he knew it was impossible in Bianzhou. Bianzhou is the provincial capital city and has a relatively high status. Most deputy mayors like him are sent to other cities to serve as deputy mayors. It seemed that Li Wujiang wanted to keep him in Bianzhou and promote him to deputy mayor on the spot. This was a good sign. After understanding this, Tang Lixin immediately stated, "Secretary Li, don't worry, I will take the initiative and actively cooperate."

The reason why Li Wujiang chose to go to Yong'an City was mainly because Yong'an City was the hardest hit area by major corruption cases, and all the municipal party committee secretaries and mayors of Yong'an City were involved in it. At present, the main work of Yong'an City is presided over by Wang Hesheng, deputy secretary of the county party committee. For this county where both the county party committee secretary and the county magistrate are absent, this is definitely an eventful time.

Wang Hesheng knew that Li Wujiang and his party were going to Yong'an City to investigate the theme education activities, so he had already prepared everything. He led his team members to the highway intersection to meet Li Wujiang.

"Secretary Li, Secretary Wang from Yong'an just called and said that he and his team members from Yong'an City are waiting at the highway intersection." Wherever Li Wujiang goes now, Li Haitao has planned and contacted him in advance. Therefore, county and district leaders generally do not call Li Wujiang directly for these matters, but call Li Haitao and ask him to arrange it from there.

"What's wrong with this? The purpose of the theme education rectification is to create a grand spectacle and hold welcomes and send-offs. The leaders of Yong'an City cannot learn a lesson. Tell him, we will go directly to the Yong'an Municipal Party Committee."

Tang Lixin saw that Li Wujiang was angry, so he comforted him and said, "Secretary Li, the comrades below also see you coming here for the first time, so they pay more attention to your arrival."

"Secretary-General, I can understand everyone's mood, but this form is unacceptable. I think that in response to such behaviors as high-end travel, extravagance and waste, eating and drinking with public funds, the Municipal Party Committee Office has introduced several regulations with the help of this theme education activity. These regulations can be very simple and clear, such as eight regulations and five strict prohibitions. The ultimate goal of the theme education activities is to establish regulations and improve the strict management system.”

Of course, Li Haitao did not convey the original words of Li Wujiang to Wang Hesheng. He only told Wang Hesheng that the car would not stop at the highway intersection and go directly to the municipal party committee compound.

Chapter 748: Can’t put it down for talents

Wang Hesheng saw Li Wujiang and his group of vehicles whizzing past him, and quickly ordered the driver to take a shortcut and rush back.

"Secretary Wang, this new secretary looks different. Previous leaders liked to send gifts from far away, which is a symbol of face." Propaganda Minister Li Chenggui said.

"How could I know that each of these leaders is more difficult to serve than the other?" Wang Hesheng said.

Wang Hesheng and the Yongan City team members arrived at the municipal party committee compound before Li Wujiang. As soon as they stood up, Li Wujiang and his party came over.

Tang Lixin introduced Wang Hesheng, deputy secretary of Yongan City, to Li Wujiang. Wang Hesheng held Li Wujiang's hand and refused to throw it away. Finally, he let go after Tang Lixin coughed. Wang Hesheng then introduced the members of the Yongan City team to Li Wujiang, saying that there were eleven members of the team, and now there were only six left. Li Wujiang was horrified to see it. Of these six, Li Wujiang was more impressed by Xin Xiangyang, deputy mayor of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, who was ranked last. The deputy mayor is not very old. He wears glasses and looks rather elegant, but he can feel a sense of righteousness.

Li Wujiang went directly to the conference room, and Wang Hesheng began to report to Li Wujiang on the progress of the theme education activities according to the prepared materials.

"Secretary Li, according to the requirements of the Municipal Party Committee, our Yong'an City immediately deployed and carried out thematic education activities, issued a plan, and formulated a learning plan. Next, we will strictly follow the plan to carry out self-examination and self-correction activities, and the blade will be inward. ”

Li Wujiang felt that there was nothing wrong with Wang Hesheng's report. It seems that this guy is also an old official. "Secretary Hesheng, what opinions do the cadres of Yong'an City have on carrying out educational activities on the theme of never forgetting the original intention and keeping the mission in mind?"

"All the cadres and workers of Yong'an City believe that this event is too timely and can help the new people regain their faith and regain their faith. Everyone understands that the municipal party committee's strict control is a kind of love."

"Okay, when your Yong'an City carries out thematic education activities, what are the characteristics and highlights?"

"Secretary Li, the event has just begun, and the highlights are still being discovered. But there are also some highlights. The economic work that our Mayor Xin is focusing on is to carry out thematic education within the enterprise, so that party members within the enterprise can play an advanced role model, thereby promoting efficient production of the enterprise. "

"Oh, this is a good idea. Mayor Xin, tell me how to do it specifically." Li Wujiang stared at Xin Xiangyang with interest.

"Secretary Li, we have carefully studied the theme education activity plan issued by the municipal party committee. The activity plan requires the participation of all employees and comprehensive coverage. I focus on economic work. Our Yongan City has established advanced party branches and model party member positions within the enterprise. The purpose is to use the advanced demonstration role of party members to drive efficient and high-quality production of enterprises and complete the tasks assigned by the province and city.”

Xin Xiangyang's answer was reasonable and well-founded, and Li Wujiang felt that this was indeed a highlight. Since the launch of the activity, everyone has limited this activity to government agencies, and many people have ignored the internal aspects of the enterprise. "This has been done well. You should summarize while doing it and strive to become a demonstration point. I have looked at the economic situation of Yong'an City this year. In the first half of the year, Yong'an City's economy maintained a growth rate of 10%, far exceeding the city's Economic growth. This shows that the economic development of Yong'an City is still dynamic. Who is responsible for the economy of Yong'an City? Let me talk about the experience. "

Li Wujiang chose to come to Yong'an this time. On the one hand, he wanted to supervise the development of theme education activities. On the other hand, he wanted to understand why Yong'an's economy can grow so fast. It stands to reason that half of the Yongan City team members suffered landslides. Why Yongan City’s economy has not shrunk is worth exploring.

"Secretary Li, I am currently in charge of the economic work in Yong'an City," Xin Xiangyang said.

"Okay, then tell me how to do it in detail."

“Yongan City is mainly based on industry. Heavy industry accounts for a large proportion in the development of Yongan City, among which the three major industries of aluminum, refractory materials, and coal mining machinery are the main ones. We in Yongan have set the tone of unswervingly grasping the economy. No matter how difficult it is, we will firmly support the development of enterprises. In order to promote enterprise development, Yongan City has established a five-star enterprise award mechanism to improve the political status of entrepreneurs, and allocate funds to reward enterprises with greater contributions every year. In our work, we rely on enterprises to attract investment, expand the industrial chain, and increase the added value of the industry.”

After listening to what Xin Xiangyang said, Li Wujiang felt that Yongan City still had ideas and bright spots in grasping the economy and projects. In particular, the idea of ​​selecting five-star enterprises, improving the political status of entrepreneurs, and attracting investment through business is very advanced and novel. "Okay, after listening to it, I feel that there are many highlights and features. Will this year's anti-corruption activities in Bianzhou City have any impact on the development of enterprises in Yong'an City?"

"Secretary Li, this has had some impact on Yongan City. Especially in the early stage, some entrepreneurs were also called for questioning, and many entrepreneurs were shaken. In order to stabilize the economic development of Yongan, we have mainly done two aspects of work. , The first is to stabilize the large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in the jurisdiction. As long as they have no problem, Yong'an City's economic fundamentals will not be in chaos. The second is to hold a symposium for private entrepreneurs to promptly understand the trends of entrepreneurs in the jurisdiction. Entrepreneurs, we go to work one by one to dispel their concerns and doubts. We establish a party branch in the enterprise, give full play to the advanced and leading role of the party branch, and explain our principles and policies clearly to the entrepreneurs. "

Li Wujiang felt that he had discovered a talent in Yong'an City, and he was also someone who was willing to do things. At this time he remained calm. Tang Lixin also saw from the side that Li Wujiang had been asking Xin Xiangyang. It seemed that Li Wujiang had developed a love and cherishment of Xin Xiangyang's talents.

Next, Li Wujiang, accompanied by Liu Hesheng, Xin Xiangyang and others, went to Yongan Municipal Government agencies and towns to conduct research. Originally, Li Wujiang had arranged a one-day trip, planning to go and return on the same day. But after listening to Xin Xiangyang's report, he planned to stay in Yong'an City for another day. He wanted to go deep into the enterprises in Yong'an City and hold a symposium with entrepreneurs to have face-to-face communication with these entrepreneurs.

After the dinner, Li Wujiang met with the cadres of Yong'an City at the Yong'an Hotel. On the one hand, he wanted to understand the real situation of Yong'an City and the true capabilities of these cadres through one-on-one meetings. On the other hand, he also has a plan to use three months to visit various counties and districts in Bianzhou City and try to meet all the team members in the counties and districts.

Chapter 749: Focus on conversation, focus on training

Li Haitao left Xin Xiangyang as the last one to talk to Li Wujiang. He had not been a secretary for a long time, but he had learned to watch people's emotions. He could feel that Li Wujiang had a good impression of Xin Xiangyang. This also means that Li Wujiang has a lot of content to discuss with Xin Xiangyang, and it will not arouse other people's suspicion if he puts it later.

"Mayor Xin, please, Secretary Li is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you, Director Li."

Xin Xiangyang and Li Wujiang were still a bit restrained when they were alone together. This man who was younger than himself was already the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he asked sharp questions, exuding a domineering attitude from the inside out. He knew in his heart that Li Wujiang could serve as Secretary of the Bianzhou Municipal Party Committee at such an age when Bianzhou was in the most critical situation, which was a sign that the organization had full trust in him.

"Comrade Xiangyang, sit down, don't be formal, we just want to chat." Li Wujiang saw that Xin Xiangyang was a little nervous, so he went out of his way to enlighten him.

"Okay, Secretary Li."

"Comrade Xiangyang, how old are you this year and which university did you graduate from?"

Xin Xiangyang did not expect that Li Wujiang would ask about his basic personal situation, which he did not expect. "Secretary Li, I am thirty-seven years old this year. I graduated from Zhehu University and worked in Yong'an City after graduation. I have been working here for more than ten years."

"Are you from Yong'an City?"

"I'm from Jianchang County."

"I just had an exchange with some cadres in Yong'an City, and I heard that you are mainly responsible for Yong'an's economy."

"I am mainly responsible for economic work, but this cannot be done without the support of the leaders of the municipal party committee and government."

"I also heard you talk about some of Yongan's economic measures this morning. Some of them are very unique and have advanced concepts. Are these measures you have summarized in practice?"

"Secretary Li, part of these experiences are what we have summed up in practice, and part of them are what we learned from coastal cities. We in Yong'an City have organized cadre teams to benchmark in advanced coastal cities many times to find out our own shortcomings and integrate those in advanced areas. Bringing in experience. We will also often hold discussions with entrepreneurs to find some good methods from them to mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises for production. "

"If you are now the top leader of Yong'an Municipal Government, what will you do in the future?"

Li Wujiang asked this question, which made Xin Xiangyang think in his heart. Can he be the leader? From a practical point of view, the chance is not great. Although the promotion from deputy director to full director is just one step, it is a long way. He ranks last in the Standing Committee. According to the top-down order, he will never get his turn. However, he knew that Li Wujiang was asking a test question, and he had to answer it seriously. "Secretary Li, if Yong'an City wants to develop, I think it needs to start from three aspects. The first aspect is to pay close attention to cadre building. The direction has been set, cadres are the key, and the theme education activities are the starting point to unify the cadres' thinking and unite the cadres. Strength, and select a group of cadres who can take on big responsibilities and do big things. The second aspect is to persist in economic development unswervingly, create a good business environment, and seize the leading industries. In Yongan, we will seize the aluminum industry and the refractory materials industry. The three major industries of mining and coal mining are not shaken. These three major industries are large projects. We have done research and found that each of these three major industries has a broad market of hundreds of billions. We will focus on the three major industries, lengthen the industrial chain, and increase the added value of products. I believe that Yongan City’s economy will reach a higher level. The third aspect is to focus on people’s livelihood, and the results of development should be shared by the people. These concepts were proposed by Secretary Li ten years ago. Not only is your concept not outdated, but it is becoming more and more important in the process of development. In some areas, it is just for economic development and ignores the fundamentals of development. "Speaking of this, Xin Xiangyang stopped and looked at Li Wujiang. He had read Li Wujiang's articles back then. This time he met the real person, so the contents are still fresh in his memory.

Li Wujiang did not expect that anyone would remember the article he published when he was in Nandu. This is not easy. It seems that Xin Xiangyang is serious. Li Wujiang encouraged Xin Xiangyang to continue speaking with encouraging eyes.
