The other party even insinuated that if Xiang Nuan wanted to make political achievements, he could change the direction. Even if this project was implemented, it would not be completed in a few months.

After all, the first half of the year has passed, and if she doesn't make any political achievements, she will have to "do nothing" this year.

It has been more than a year since Xiang Nuan took office, and she didn't make any obvious political achievements last year. Compared with where she stayed before, she is very unknown.

The rumors started again, saying that she left Lao Hu and disappeared from everyone.

Being an official also needs to be assessed, and their assessment standard is political performance, which is why so many officials are willing to cooperate with businessmen.

Businessmen can make profits by paying money, and officials can continue to rise if they can gain political achievements.

Sometimes in order to "cooperate", even if the businessmen lose money, they have to spend money to create political achievements for the officials and lords, so that they can continue to benefit after the lords go up.

For businessmen, no penny is spent in vain, and for gentlemen, no businessman is paid for nothing. Everyone is bound by interests and each takes what he needs.

Faced with the other party's provocation, Xiang Nuan was not angry, and said calmly, "I know that the city's finances are a bit difficult, so for the issue of the commercial street, I plan to invite bids, not limited to the province, and even foreign investors from other places can also participate in the bidding. First, it will not bring economic difficulties to the city's finances, and it will also solve the problems of our commercial street."

After speaking, he looked at the director of the Economic and Development Commission: "Director He, what do you think?"

Director He glanced at the person who said that he opposed before, and thought about it seriously: "I think this method is good. Although the commercial street is full of people, it is much worse than some famous commercial streets in other places. Speaking of other things, those buildings are a bit dilapidated, and if we want to build a commercial street, we have to change the image first."

"In ancient times, people respected Luo Shang first and then others, and now it is the same. When shopping, I don't want to go into the dilapidated shop."

Many people nodded in agreement.

Director He said: "It's time for our city to build a commercial street with our Ontario characteristics, instead of having no rules like today's commercial street. Without rules, there is nothing to do. I agree with Deputy Mayor Tao's plan."

Director He took the lead, and people from the Economic and Development Committee also agreed.

A few from the Development and Reform Commission also agreed. Zhao Jian had been in the Development and Reform Commission before, so there are still a few confidantes.

After a one-day meeting, the preliminary plan was approved by vote, but the specific plan still needs to be discussed by several departments.

Renovation is not a trivial matter, it involves all aspects and various units, and there are many things to discuss. Xiang Nuan, as the initiator, has a heavy workload.

When it comes to building a commercial street, Xiang Nuan took people from two departments to Haicheng, borrowing from the famous commercial pedestrian street there.

The group of people had seen the pedestrian street in Haicheng, and then thought about the one in their own city, and immediately stopped saying that Xiang Nuan's efforts were useless.

In August, after the preliminary plan came out, Xiang Nuan proposed the plan at the City C Committee meeting on Monday.

First of all, it was opposed by Tan Heping.

The reason is simple, four words: a waste of money.

"Vice Mayor Tao, I think with this spare money, we can attract more business and investment, and attract more foreign companies to develop and invest in our province."

"I took a look. Since you took office, only two foreign companies have invested in our city. Is this ratio too small?"

"If you don't feel competent, you can delegate part of the work."

Facing Tan Zongping's pressing force every step of the way, Xiang Nuan was already prepared.

She looked at Tan Zongping and stated calmly: "Tan City, it's not that there are only two foreign companies investing in our city, but after my various researches and reviews, they are the only ones who come to follow with the mentality of doing business. We cooperated."

"Other foreign companies have somewhat impure purposes."

"For example?" Tan Zongping did not give up: "These foreign companies are here to make money, they are not philanthropists."

"Tanshi, I agree with what you said very much. None of these foreign companies are philanthropists. A hundred years ago, they were famous bandits in the sea." Xiang Nuan looked at Tan Heping: "So I can't accept the conditions they put forward. , if accepted, it would be theft and sale of national assets.”

With the change of society and the development of the times, many public units in the past have been eliminated by the market.

Many state-run units have been packaged and sold to foreign companies at extremely low prices together with the land.

Tan Zongping frowned: "Stealing and selling state assets? Deputy Mayor Tao, you can't make a fuss about it."

Xiang Nuan: "Let's not talk about saving steel. After all, it has not been bought by foreign companies. Let's talk about large state-owned enterprises such as the Municipal Machinery Factory, the Municipal Bearing Factory, and the Cotton Spinning Factory. Which one was not a fragrant bun back then, but what about now?"

"They still exist well now." Tan Zongping's face was very unfriendly: "Do you think it's right to see them go bankrupt one by one, and see those workers who are laid off and have nothing to rely on?"

"I didn't mean that." Xiang Nuan said, "We are unable to save these old factories that have contributed to the development of Ontario. Facing the harsh conditions proposed by foreign companies, we can only passively accept them, or we have to watch them Be eliminated."

"But..." Xiang Nuan's eyes sharpened a little: "There are still two or three nails on the broken ship. At this price, what's the difference between selling at a low price?"

"Tao Xiangnuan..." Tan Zongping slapped the table, "Are you accusing me of cheaply selling national resources?"

"I don't mean Tanshi." Compared to Tan Zongping's anger, Xiang Nuan was very calm: "You sold these companies to Deputy Mayor Xing for the benefit of those employees. There is no doubt about that."

Tan Zongping's face looked a little better.

Just listen to Xiang Nuan and continue: "One time, another time, in the past two years, under the premise of the rise of large state-owned factories such as Antou, Forklift General Factory, and Changhe Automobile, as well as the leadership of private companies such as Riguang Group, many small enterprises These spring up like mushrooms after rain to create more jobs for us. The overall economy of our city is on the rise, and the general environment has also changed. Therefore, I personally think that there is no need to sell promising factories at low prices for the sake of temporary development and benefits. Selling it cheaply to foreign companies. This is tantamount to killing the chicken and taking the eggs, and ruining the future.”

"We welcome foreign companies to invest, and sincerely want to reach cooperation with them for common development and common growth, but we cannot allow foreign companies to come here with a high profile to oppress and exploit us and suppress our companies. There must be a benign competitive environment."

As soon as the word exploitation came out, Tan Zongping's face became ugly again.

Xiang Nuan looked around for a week: "Since I am in charge of the economy in the organization, I should not only develop our city's economy, but also pay attention to the health of our city's economy. Sustainable development is the right way to consume in advance for temporary purposes. State-owned resources, I think it is not advisable."

What Xiang Nuan said was close to directly saying that Tan Zongping sold state-owned assets at a low price in exchange for his own political achievements.
