Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tingfeng and Yuan Shikang were kept by Ye Tianshui.

"Dad, I have something to discuss with Uncle Yuan. You must listen and give us some suggestions and advice."

"What do you want to discuss with Governor Yuan? Why didn't I hear you mention it beforehand?"

Ye Tingfeng asked curiously.

Ye Tianshui pushed Mr. Ye’s wheelchair into his study, which was warm and not dry.

Yuan Shikang already knew from his son what Ye Tianshui wanted to discuss with him.

He followed behind with a serious expression and a respectful attitude.

Separate districts from two cities? 'Development Zone'?

Is it just set up around the tunnel boring machine?

If you think about it carefully, although this proposal is bold, it is feasible to a certain extent.

It is also in line with the current domestic economic development.

Yuan Shikang thought carefully and pondered it over and over again in his mind.

Although he is the governor and also serves as the deputy secretary of the first provincial party committee of Jiangnan Province, when faced with such a major event, it is impossible for him to have the final say on everything.

This is indeed a big deal!

It’s not just a big deal, the key point is that there is no reference basis for such things in the country.

If the province reaches a consensus, will the higher authorities approve it?

Yuan Shikang suddenly thought of setting up two districts under the provincial city without the need for approval from above.

As long as the provincial government and the provincial party committee reach a consensus, documents can be issued for implementation.

These two districts are directly governed by provincial government leaders?

Is it OK... or is it not? How should we convince the stubborn old men in the province?

While Yuan Shikang was brainstorming alone, Ye Tianshui had already had a brief conversation with Ye Tingfeng.

He told the old man his thoughts in detail.

"Dad, if Jiangnan Province can accept this plan, I plan to let Yuan Cheng and Guo Kang serve as the district party committee secretaries of the two 'development zones'.

Next, I will put Country D's most advanced printing technology and production lines into those two 'development zones' for production.

Dad, you understand that adding this project can bring great benefits to Jiangnan Province’s industrial reform and economic development.”

Ye Tianshui explained as he walked into the study and put Old Man Ye's wheelchair away.

He made the tea himself and turned to look at Yuan Shikang:

“Uncle Yuan, I haven’t told Yuan Cheng and Guo Kang about the two things I just mentioned.

Because I don’t know what attitude your provincial leaders will have towards my proposal to set up two ‘development zones’, I didn’t mention anything that needs to be done later.”

Yuan Shikang had indeed been considering the feasibility of setting up a development zone, but how did he communicate with other provincial leaders?

But Ye Tianshui did not deliberately lower his voice, instead he could hear it clearly.

I immediately understood that it was said specifically for him to hear.

Moreover, Ye Tianshui’s meaning was very clear. Yuan Cheng and Guo Kang were to be the secretaries of the newly established development zone district committee?

In this way, his son and Kokang's two children would be promoted several levels in their official careers.

Under normal circumstances, this would never work.

But because it was Ye Tianshui's proposal and he was the one who introduced the tunnel boring machine project, he certainly has a say.

If we introduce printing press technology and production lines, with this support, nothing is impossible.

When his son gets promoted, no one will be able to say that he, the governor, did something behind the scenes.

As the governor of Jiangnan Province in charge of industry, he is directly responsible for the economic development of the province.

Printing machines are also large equipment, and the production of main machines and spare parts involved can extend a huge industrial chain.

With this additional condition, who among those old stubborn people in the province would dare to raise any objections?

"Xiao Shui, what two things did you say that you didn't tell them?"

Yuan Shikang suppressed his excitement and asked carefully.

“We proposed that they serve as the district party committee secretary of the development zone, and that we introduce a printing press production line in their district.

Because I haven't discussed this with you and my dad yet, I don't know whether you two will accept my proposal, so I didn't mention it when we were together."

"Oh, I see. Elder Ye, what do you think of Young Master Ye's proposal?

Can we do it? I’ll listen to you.”

Yuan Shikang did not express his opinion first, but respectfully asked Ye Tingfeng for his opinion.

Since Ye Tianshui invited the old man here, he must have his purpose.

Yuan Shikang also knew that if this proposal was approved by Ye Tingfeng, and he went to the provincial party committee and government to propose this suggestion, the resistance would be reduced a lot.

At least from his point of view, Ye Tianshui's proposal was all in his favor.

The country is developing rapidly. Why not for Jiangnan Province to take the lead in industrial and economic development reform?

From Yuan Shikang's perspective, he could see that this proposal was not only applicable to Jiangnan Province, but could be used throughout the country.

No matter how much he agreed or how anxious he was, he had to ask for Ye Tingfeng's opinion first.

If the old man disagrees, he cannot express his opinion for the time being.

After hearing this, Ye Tingfeng finally understood what his son was thinking.

Good at calculating and scheming, how could he be so "far-sighted" at such a young age, and consider things that others could not even think of?

He found that Ye Tianshui's proposal was another good idea for the people above.

At the same time, he also helped two of his classmates.

Ye Tingfeng even wondered whether his son's original intention in proposing this was to promote his two classmates.

As a district directly under the provincial government, his authority has increased dramatically!

"Xiao Shui, I've never heard you talk about these things before. How come you suddenly have such a good suggestion?"

Ye Tingfeng asked seriously with a serious attitude.

Ye Tianshui scratched his head, revealing a trace of shyness, "Dad, actually this idea didn't come out of nowhere. I have been paying attention to industrial development at home and abroad. After seeing the benefits brought by the shield machine, I began to think about how to further boost the economy of Jiangnan Province.

As for Yuan Cheng and Guo Gan, they are both very capable and I believe they can handle the work of the development zone. This will also help stabilize the cooperative relationship between the two sides and facilitate the development of more projects.”

Ye Tingfeng nodded slightly, "Well, this proposal is forward-looking. But we still have to be cautious in implementing it."

Yuan Shikang quickly agreed, "Mr. Ye is right. We need detailed planning. For example, issues such as funding sources, land acquisition, and personnel deployment must be carefully considered."

Ye Tianshui smiled confidently and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Yuan, regarding the funds, I can introduce some foreign capital in the early stage.

Land expropriation can be carried out by expropriating land from the surrounding areas of the original industrial park.

As for the technical staff, some of them were hired from abroad.

The printing press project is a project that will be invested in after the industrial park is built, and it can be developed step by step and steadily. "

Ye Tingfeng pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, you can first make a detailed plan and submit it. In principle, I personally think it is a good idea.

If it is feasible, then we should push forward in your Jiangnan Province first."

Yuan Shikang was overjoyed and quickly agreed to the deal. He had already started thinking about how to convince other members of the provincial leadership team when he returned.

If this matter is implemented, he can show his talents again.
