Chapter 185 Chapter 185

On June 30, 2003, from morning to afternoon, Zhu Ziqiang never rested. Caiyun Province designated Qugao City as the venue for this year's Party Day.On the same day, the renovation of the old city of Qugao was fully completed. Zhu Ziqiang presided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 o'clock in the morning. Provincial Party Secretary Luo Jihui and Governor Xu Beijin attended the ceremony.Then he ran non-stop to the airport and the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee to receive the main members of the province participating in the party founding festival. Today's Qugao has expanded a five-kilometer-long South Street with sixteen lanes plus bicycle lanes and sidewalks from south to north. From east to west, it is a four-kilometer West Street with the same scale as South Street. The main road runs through the entire Qugao City, and there are many shops on both sides along the way. Hotels, large shopping malls, municipal squares, and leisure parks are well planned.

In addition to the Huancheng Road, Chunqu Expressway, Qugao Railway Station, and Qugao Passenger Station that were completed a little while ago, Qugao is now the first to enter the modern transportation city among the brother cities of the same level in the province.In addition to the main traffic arteries, other streets in Qugao have also changed their appearance. Twenty main streets and roads in the city and three major overpasses form a criss-cross urban three-dimensional traffic. It is cheap for citizens to go to work, go shopping, play, Never worry about wasting time in traffic jams again.Compared with the traffic congestion in other cities in the province, Qugao is really convenient.

After the emergence of a new national leadership team in 2002, SARS broke out and swept across the entire land of China.In the past year, except for a small number of urban economies that have maintained growth momentum, the year-on-year figures in most areas have declined, and the economic growth in Qugao has reached an astonishing 18%. The agricultural economy has increased year-on-year in 2001. Thirty-nine percent, filling the vacancies in the decline of old-fashioned industries such as tobacco, chemical fertilizers, and cement. It can be clearly seen from Qugao's financial figures that it is the non-ferrous metal industry that has really achieved overall growth in the national economy.

When it comes to the development of non-ferrous metals, the citizens of Qugao stretched out their thumbs, "It all depends on our Mayor Zhu!" The right to approve, integrate the local governments where the main mineral deposits are located in the city, and jointly establish the Qugao Mineral Resources Development Committee, with Zhu Ziqiang as the director.Afterwards, according to the distribution of mineral deposits, the Mining Committee designated three major areas, namely Gongxun Mineral Development Zone, Dajiang Mineral Development Zone and Jinsha Mineral Development Zone. In 2002, the price of raw materials rose sharply. This year, Qugao Mining Committee seized the opportunity to vigorously develop the non-ferrous metal industry, creating a feat of growth in one fell swoop.

There are currently 13,000 cadres and employees in the three major development zones, which has greatly eased the employment pressure in Qugao City. City renovation.And since 2003, for the first time, the head of the Qugao Finance Bureau proudly announced at the province's financial work conference that the city's financial budget this year would no longer ask the state for a penny! You must know that in the past, among the counties and districts under the jurisdiction of Qugao City, five counties belonged to the extremely impoverished counties in the country. Every year, the government had to reach out to the state for tens of millions of funds to maintain the status quo. Just throw off the hat of poverty.Of course, there are many opportunities and coincidences. As the raw material market continues to be popular, the prices of lead, zinc, copper, iron, silicon, etc. have continued to rise. In just one year, some metals have increased tenfold.But without the city government's iron fist policy, at least half of these great resources would fall into private pockets.

Now the cadres of Qugao have straightened their backs. Just a month ago, during the May Day holiday, the municipal government purchased 100 cars from FAW-Volkswagen and 100 off-road vehicles from BAIC. The agencies, public security, law enforcement and other departments all changed their cars, and the replaced cars were thrown to lower-level departments. Even Luo Jihui, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, called Zhu Ziqiang, not to criticize, but to feel pain! Cadres above the director level are so awesome that they go to the province in a car and go to the countryside in an off-road vehicle. It is not uncommon for the public security and law to have uniforms. Two sets a year, summer clothes and winter clothes, the presidents of several major banks stared straight at them.Moreover, the life of these big silver is not easy, what is the reason? Before 2003, the city's loan plan was approved in half a month, but this year, there is no movement after half a year!It’s not that no one gets a loan. Some individual and private owners come to ask for a loan, but it doesn’t work. In previous years, the amount was tens of millions, but now it’s only hundreds of thousands.The only thing that comforts the bank is the personal home purchase loan, and this project is doing well.

According to the bank's management regulations, the sub-branches that cannot complete the loan plan will reduce the loan plan amount in the next year according to the actual operating conditions, and the loans that cannot be disbursed that year will be recovered. What does this mean for the bank's cadres?The power is gone, the benefits are gone, and you can't be awesome!As long as you don't take out a loan, who will treat you like a master?After half a year, the bank hastened to reverse the direction of its business—grab deposits!From a man to a buddy, from waiting and waiting for Ka Na to ask, to taking the initiative to come to the door and beg father to sue grandma.The state-owned enterprise unit used to get a loan from which bank, but now it has to deposit the money in a bank because of face. This made the bank presidents feel very lucky, fortunately, the loan was granted to others at that time!

What else has Zhu Ziqiang done in the past year and a half besides integrating mineral resources?There is no need to investigate this. Ordinary citizens in Qugao know that first the old city renovation, then the passenger station, and the main traffic arteries in the city, the construction idea proposed by Zhu Ziqiang is-to facilitate the people!What is the use of being magnificent if you are not obsessed with high-tech, nor are you obsessed with face-saving projects?I couldn't even find a toilet for half an hour!Convenient travel and saving time have become the central idea of ​​the entire Qugao construction.

Zhu Ziqiang has been running back and forth to various construction sites in the past year and a half, and he can meet this big mayor on the street every three days or so. He wears a red hard hat and has a sunny smile. Tall and straight, with two thick black eyebrows, this photo was first published in Qugao Daily, later reprinted in China Youth Daily, and then reprinted in People's Daily.Zhu Ziqiang is not the youngest department-level cadre, there are younger than him in the central ministries and commissions, but Zhu Ziqiang is definitely the youngest prefecture-level mayor in China. These are seen by ordinary people, and there are still ordinary people who have not seen them, but the provincial party committee and the provincial government have seen them. What surprised them was Qugao Agriculture.

Zhu Ziqiang didn't come up with any new tricks. The same production and operation model of the company plus the farmer, happened to be effective.Luo Jihui and Xu Beijin wanted to spread Qugao's successful method to the whole province, but it was too unrealistic. Why?The company is simply holding the purpose of serving farmers. May I ask which businessman does not talk about profit?If you want to work elsewhere, unless the businessman is full and has nothing to do. The success of agricultural development, Zhu Ziqiang no longer hides it, lifts a big cover, occupies poverty alleviation loans and poverty alleviation project funds, but it doesn't stink, there is no problem at all!All the accounts are clear, the repayment of the loan is not fussy, and the repayment plan is fulfilled on time. Guan Zhongkun, chairman of Qugao Agricultural Products Development Co., Ltd., Qiu Zhiheng, chairman of Tianyuan Group, and Luo Xiaowei, chairman of Xiangye Group, were selected as Caiyun Province Model worker, Top Ten Outstanding Young Men of Caiyun Province, Top Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs of Caiyun Province, Agricultural Economy Contribution Award of Caiyun Province, Advanced Individual of National Agricultural Development, and three of them were also elected as Vice Chairman of Qugao Political Consultative Conference at the same time, Luo Xiaowei served as Caiyun Province Federation of Industry and Commerce Honorary Vice Chairman, Chairman of Qugao City Federation of Industry and Commerce.

In Luo Jihui's words, these honors and awards are far inferior to the contributions made by the three to Qugao Agriculture! At 8 o'clock that night, Luo Jihui presided over a temporary office meeting of the provincial party committee secretary in the small conference room of the Qugao Municipal Committee. Zhao Dawei, secretary of the Qugao Municipal Committee, and Zhu Ziqiang, mayor of Qugao, attended the meeting. As a pilot, study the feasibility of openly recruiting cadres at the division level and deputy division level. At the beginning of 2002, Zhu Ziqiang proposed the idea for the first time, but it was rejected by the provincial party committee because the political and economic environment in Qugao was not enough. At that time, the theme of governance was still stability, maintaining political stability, social stability and economic development.Therefore, after various studies, the Provincial Party Committee decided not to implement the cadre competition for the time being.This year, Qugao has made remarkable achievements in social economy, culture and education, political environment, and urban construction.Zhu Ziqiang submitted the plan again to the provincial party committee in early June. Many provincial officials, including the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, are a little guilty. When it comes to Qu Gao, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the Governor will cooperate. They can agree on everything about Qu Gao. Zhao Dawei and Zhu Ziqiang fed the two adults some misleading soup.No, it was the first time that such an important event as the Party Building Festival was held in a city other than Chunjiang. The designation in Qugao also has two meanings: one is to pave the way for Qugao to implement public competition for cadres through the Party Building Festival, and at the same time to vaccinate party members in other places, which means knocking mountains and shaking tigers.The second is to highlight Qu Gao's achievements, so that other cadres at the same level can see what they see and learn from Qu Gao's experience. The secretaries and mayors of many fraternal cities looked at Qu Gao and swallowed his bitterness, cursing in secret!The scolding is scolding, the mouth is not convinced, and the heart wants to admit defeat. They didn't ask for a penny more, and they didn't do anything special. Lead farmers to get rich with bare hands and fists.This is ability! At the beginning of the meeting, it was the first time for Zhao Dawei and Zhu Ziqiang to participate in the office meeting of the secretary of the provincial party committee. Although they had experienced a lot of big scenes, they still couldn't hide their nervousness. The secretaries here are all senior officials.The four deputy secretaries, except for Xu Beijin who was named, Li Tiannan, the executive deputy secretary, Niu Hong, the deputy secretary and secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Bai Chaowen, the deputy secretary, stomped on the colorful clouds.Chang Juan, Director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, was in charge of meeting minutes. Chang Juan and Zhu Ziqiang are old classmates. Before the meeting, the two had a cordial conversation. "Starting now, it was discussed last year. Tonight, we will call everyone to listen to what Comrade Dawei and Comrade Ziqiang have to say. If it is feasible, we will make a final decision and discuss it at the Standing Committee tomorrow." Luo Jihui said After finishing, point to Zhu Ziqiang: "Comrade Ziqiang, you can start." Zhu Ziqiang took a deep breath and slowed down his speech as much as possible. He didn't bring the manuscript, and the proposal had been placed in front of the five secretaries. Apart from repeating, he was mainly responsible for answering the questions raised by the secretaries. Following Zhu Ziqiang's explanation, several secretaries began to concentrate on listening to the report. For fifteen minutes, Zhu Ziqiang controlled the time very well. Meetings are the same as listening to lectures in class. The most scientific lecture time is fifteen minutes. There will be resistance, and if you talk less, it will make people feel that your attitude is not serious enough. After Zhu Ziqiang finished speaking, Luo Jihui hummed a few times. After everyone focused on him, Luo Jihui smiled and said, "It's better than last year's method. I think we can try it in Qugao. Old Xu?" Xu Beijin wore a pince-nez, kept his head still, rolled his eyes and said, "I have no objection, the main thing is to see Secretary Niu. If something unexpected happens, can the Disciplinary Committee deal with it as soon as possible?" What Xu Beijin meant was obvious. He was worried that the organizers would cheat, and if a few corrupt elements were pulled out during the interview or public announcement, the impact would be bad. Niu Hong combed his chairman's hair, he was a bit of a sympathetic fellow with Jin Guangqing, and he was also extremely smart, but there were two obvious lines at the corners of his mouth, as if carved out by a knife, which looked very majestic. related.Niu Hong nodded and said: "In the method that Comrade Ziqiang said just now, there are already corresponding measures, and I agree. The Disciplinary Committee will fully cooperate, check it out, and do a good job of supervision. You can train soldiers." Luo Jihui looked at Li Tiannan and Bai Chaowen: "Secretary Tiannan, Secretary Chaowen?" The two nodded. Li Tiannan was the standing secretary. When Luo Jihui was away, he presided over the work of the provincial party committee. The governor was transferred at the same time, so the next secretary must be him.The public competition for cadres belongs to party affairs.Li Tiannan looked at Zhu Ziqiang, aroused the other party's attention first, and then began to speak: "This is a brand new attempt, we must pay attention to the ideological situation of the cadres, we must prevent accidents, and do not cause bad influence. The test questions should be based on the party's theory. As a basis, focus on the inspection of ideological quality and moral cultivation, not professional knowledge. Set up a public competition leading group and a public competition supervision group. The Qugao City leadership team should avoid suspicion. I propose that Comrade Han De from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee be the leading group Deputy Secretary Liu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was appointed as the leader of the supervision team. On the surface, this election belongs to the party affairs of the Qugao Municipal Party Committee, but in fact? It should be a new attempt by the Provincial Party Committee to inspect and appoint cadres." Zhu Ziqiang quickly finished recording Li Tiannan's words, then nodded firmly and said, "Thank you, Secretary Li, for your proposal! I agree to withdraw. The city government will definitely cooperate with the work and do all the work of this public competition. During the public competition, I will assist Comrade Dawei to focus on the ideological work of cadres and strive to complete this public competition." Li Tiannan nodded, Bai Chaowen smiled and said, "I have no objection."
