Return to the village in the afternoon.
Li Lin first convened a team meeting in a small conference room.
At the county economic conference, the backwardness of Weishui Township’s investment promotion work was reported.
When the participants heard the result, they all hung their heads in dejection and sighed.
Although the economic backwardness of Weishui Township is a topic that has been talked about for a long time, everyone felt a little guilty when they asked Li Lin, the squad leader, to come on stage and review his mistakes.
Zhao Jie sighed with a sad face, "Secretary, the economic backwardness of Weishui Township is not your fault alone, but the fault of all the township cadres. It is because of your failure to come to the stage to review. We... are really ashamed!"
"Secretary, from today on, I will mobilize all the connections around me to contribute to the economic development of our township. Next quarter, the county's economy will be able to make up for the past shame!"
Liu Ming also nodded at the right time and said, "Commissioner Zhao is right. This is the work of the entire township. We can't just rely on Secretary Li and Mayor Yang..."
"To revitalize the rural economy, each of us team members has an unshirkable responsibility!"
Chen Hao suddenly stood up excitedly, "Secretary! Please give the order, we promise to complete the task you assign!"
The task Chen Hao mentioned was actually assigned per person.
That is to say, each team member must complete a certain share of investment promotion work, and the amount must be made specific and indicative.
The specific approach is for all township cadres to mobilize their connections and persuade fellow villagers who run businesses in other places to change the registered place of their company's business license to Weishui Township.
In this way, the number of local enterprises in Weishui Township will increase substantially, presenting a prosperous situation with many enterprises blossoming.
The establishment of this approach has had an immediate effect, with township economic indicators rising sharply.
Many towns and villages also rely on such means to complete their tasks.
But Li Lin disagreed.
Even if the number of enterprises increases, tax revenue will still not increase if those enterprises do not issue tax invoices locally.
The most crucial thing is that such an approach neither boosts the economy nor increases the number of workers in rural areas. It is simply a way to cope with the work of superiors and has no practical significance!
Yang Ping looked at Li Lin with an inquiring look.
Everyone looked at Li Lin, waiting for his orders.
Li Lin pondered for a moment, then said in a firm tone: "I understand your anxiety to win honor for Weishui Township, but I do not agree with this way of assigning tasks to people.
We cannot just pursue superficial good-looking numbers while ignoring the actual effects and long-term development.”
"I think we should proceed from reality and aim to increase villagers' income and attract migrant workers to return home. What we want is not false prosperity, but real economic growth that can make people live a good life."
"If anyone in our team has special relationships, such as close ties with entrepreneurs, the township can grant you funds to invite these entrepreneurs to visit Weishui Township and listen to our township's investment policies. Let them feel our sincerity and potential firsthand."
"If you are successful, stay. If not, just make friends and use this circle to attract other entrepreneurs to come and observe. This will gradually open up the situation of attracting investment in Weishui Township, instead of relying on rigid assignments to complete the task."
At this point, Li Lin turned his head and glanced at Yang Ping, then continued, "The county leaders issued a death order to me and Township Chief Yang. Township Chief Yang is responsible for going to the province to fight for road construction funds, and I will go to Longjian Group to see if I can get anything out of it."
"This matter cannot be delayed any longer. I have decided to go to the provincial capital with Mayor Yang tomorrow to carry out the work separately."
"The township will need you all to stay at your posts. Zhao Jie, assist Executive Liu in getting a basic understanding of the existing enterprises and self-employed individuals in the township.
We need to understand their business conditions, difficulties they face and development needs in detail to provide a basis for our subsequent work.”
"Okay, Secretary." Liu Ming and Zhao Jie agreed almost in unison.
When they heard that Li Lin had no intention of assigning tasks, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If it is a small-scale apportionment, it is fine and can be accomplished by using some connections.
If Li Lin gave everyone a task worth hundreds of millions at once, it would be difficult to complete even if he skinned them.
While breathing a sigh of relief, everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Hao with reproach.
What a bad idea!
Fortunately, Secretary Li understood the bigger picture and did not adopt Chen Hao's bad idea.
Otherwise, these people will suffer.
Everyone was secretly glad in their hearts and expressed their sincere recognition and support for Li Lin's decision. They looked forward to the real economic revitalization and development of Weishui Township under the leadership of Li Lin.
Early the next morning, Qiao An drove Li Lin and Yang Ping to the provincial capital.
In the car, Yang Ping's face was full of worry, and she couldn't help but ask Li Lin three soul-searching questions.
"Are you really going to meet your high school classmate?" There was a hint of urgency in her tone.
"What if she pesters you? I can see that you don't like her..." Yang Ping frowned and stared at Li Lin.
"What if she forces you? You don't really want to devote yourself to her..." Yang Ping's voice became more and more anxious, even with a hint of anger.
"That woman makes me feel annoyed when I see her..." Yang Ping pouted and kept complaining.
This scene stunned Joan who was in the driving seat. He took a quick glance through the rearview mirror and was secretly surprised.
This doesn't look like the village head reporting to the secretary, but more like a quarrel between lovers.
