The Executive Vice Governor continued:
“Simply put, it means investing in high-speed rail with carriages half the length of the current ones;
Purpose: To create a rapid transportation circle in rural areas, narrow the information gap between the people, open up sales channels for the people, and save time for the people's mobility. . . "
“Due to the large amount of funds required, this infrastructure investment and construction will be piloted in Minglu City. Why Mingzan City?
Because Minglu City has a large geographical area and the townships are relatively far away from the urban area;
The farthest township to the city center usually takes more than two hours to drive, which restricts the rapid flow of products and consumption convenience between towns. . . .
As Chen Zheng spoke, he looked at the expressions of Wang Jiangbo and Lin Shujie, which made him feel even less confident.
After he finished presenting his economic-driven plan, he took out a printed paper copy and gave one to each participant.
Whenever he met with a participant, Chen Zheng would add, "I beg for your support!" with a very humble attitude.
I have to say that Chen Zheng was well prepared for his plan.
After Feng Yuxing got the plan for promoting the economy of Minglu City distributed by Chen Zheng, he opened it and read it again.
An idea suddenly popped up in his mind, "Minglu City? Zhuang Qinchuan? Sun Ping? I can combine the three into one. Maybe I can trace back to investigate this Chen Zheng. What a good opportunity!"
After Chen Zheng handed his proposal to every participant, Provincial Party Secretary Wang Jiangbo coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said:
"Everyone, you've heard and seen this. What do you think of this plan? Let's discuss it!"
From the brevity of his words and the perfunctory tone, it can be seen that he is very pessimistic about Chen Zheng's plan.
Feng Yuxing raised his head and looked at everyone. He had no intention of speaking first.
But he knew that the first person to speak should be someone who supported Provincial Party Secretary Wang Jiangbo and Governor Lin Shujie, or someone who understood their thoughts.
In the Standing Committee, all participants are bound to speak. They can go into detail or just touch upon the subject. This is what is called free speech.
“…I personally think that this project is not worth doing, the reason is very simple;
This township has driven the city's high-speed rail project, with funding reaching 20 billion yuan, and the input-output ratio is far from satisfactory;
Besides, we can accept the difference in input-output ratio, but if there is no output after the project is built, then it will be a waste of time!"
The first speaker was Fan Zhengguang, Minister of United Front Work.
Fan Zhengguang is now the Minister of United Front Work and is not responsible for economic development.
But before he took office as the Minister of United Front Work, he had at least been in charge of economic development. His sudden denial certainly meant that he saw through Wang Jiangbo and Lin Shujie's intentions and was not their supporter.
After the first speech, it was natural to start from the second one.
“I personally support what Comrade Zhengguang said. It is not wise to carry out this project in a non-provincial capital city.
More than 20 billion yuan is too risky. Let’s not talk about whether it will be profitable after the investment is completed.
Now that such a large sum of money has been invested in Minglu City all at once, the provincial government's funds are beginning to become tight!"
The spokesperson is Bai Yixiu, Minister of Propaganda.
Bai Yixiu is already in her fifties, but the youthful look on her face is enhanced by cosmetics.
Her remarks were somewhat in line with the trend, or rather, in support of the ideas of Wang Jiangbo and Lin Shujie.
She has not been directly involved in major economic development decisions, which is different from those officials who come from economics or finance departments.
Instead, she gained extensive experience through the news system, in media and propaganda organizations such as provincial television stations and the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department.
Of course, she also started from the grassroots level, from the county and city TV stations, etc., and promoted her position bit by bit until she became the leader of this important position.
“Comrade Chen Zheng, I also think your project is less feasible;
If you invest such a huge amount of money and nothing happens at the end of the day, then all the members of the provincial party committee and provincial government will be implicated!
Even if we invest in building a highway, it would be better than this, and the amount of funds is not that large!"
Tang Yuanhong, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, gave a speech in which he expressed opposition to Chen Zheng's project proposal. However, importantly, he also articulated the fundamental reason behind Wang Jiangbo and Lin Shujie's opposition.
That is, if the Minglu City short-carriage high-speed rail project that bypasses townships fails, not only will Chen Zheng be held accountable, but they will also be held jointly responsible.
"It seems that there are very few people who support Chen Zheng!"
Feng Yuxing looked at Chen Zheng's project plan in front of him again.
“This should be worth a try. I have to say, Chen Zheng’s project is very bold. No wonder he has reached such a high position at such a young age.
If successful, and promoted to all cities and counties, the economy of Fuming Province might even take off!"
"Comrade Chen Zheng, I think you shouldn't insist on what the three comrades said before. What they said makes sense: the larger the amount of capital, the greater the risk!"
Deputy Governor Li Shizhen's speech was less strongly opposed;
After all, if Chen Zheng's project plan succeeds, they will also benefit. Of course, if it fails, she will also have joint responsibility, but it's not that great.
She is the vice governor of the provincial government. In addition to being pessimistic about Chen Zheng's plan, she also wants to cater to the intentions of Governor Lin Shujie, but it is not so obvious.
"...Hello comrades! Let me tell you my opinion!" Organization Minister Rong Bu said with a bit of a joking tone.
“Let’s not talk about the huge amount of money and the high risk, but if such a large project is put into Minglu City as a pilot, then the problem arises;
Given the level of Minglu City's cadre team, or the political environment of the municipal party committee and government, can such a large project be effectively implemented?
His words are very characteristic of his position.
His words were rather cryptic. In addition to being pessimistic about the project, he was also not optimistic about the cadres of the Minglu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, or in other words, he had some opinions about them.
He is responsible for cadre evaluation and must know more about the cadres of Minglu City than others.
The next speakers were Wu Yan, Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, and Li Changfeng, Political Commissar. They were both very ambiguous, meaning their words and actions were unclear, neither opposing nor supporting the proposal.
The standing committee members who attended the meeting all knew something about the cadre situation in Minglu City, and it was a mess;
They knew it was the report on Zhuang Qinchuan, the municipal party secretary, but this matter was mixed with other reports and was suppressed by Wang Jiangbo and Lin Shujie.
Therefore, no one dared to make things difficult for Feng Yuxing, the newly appointed secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Feng Yuxing's gaze is like an invisible hand, exploring the inner world of each speaker attentively and delicately.
He is neither in a hurry to express his own position nor blindly follows the opinions of others. Instead, he carefully considers everyone's remarks and captures the subtle emotions and psychological dynamics hidden beneath the words.
After all, this was his first Standing Committee meeting since arriving in Fuming.
