Rebirth of Minister Qi

When Chen Chao received Qi Tongwei's call, he stood up from his chair and spoke with full energy, which was also a sign of respect.

Some comrades may ask, why do you have to stand up to answer the phone when the other party can't see you? However, the action of standing up is also a reminder to yourself to be vigilant. This is a call from the leader, so you must be very careful when speaking and raise your voice at the same time. Many leaders can tell whether the person answering the phone is lying down or sitting, and there will be subtle changes in the voice.

"Chief Qi, OK, I understand. I'll go to the High-tech Zone right away.

You are welcome. I have always been your soldier. I will leave right away and will be there in twenty minutes."

"Thank you for your hard work. Take your time. It's okay. I'll be waiting for you in the new building in the Hi-Tech Zone. You haven't been here before, right?

OK, OK, I'll make tea and wait for you, and show you around."

Now that Chen Chao has been transferred, Qi Tongwei will no longer be fierce and intimidating as before, but will talk to him as an equal, like a friend.

It is said that he is proud and looks down on others. This is actually true, but all the close cadres are proud to work for Qi Tongwei. When there is no subordinate relationship, Qi Tongwei treats people with equality and closeness. When there is a subordinate relationship, it is because of work needs.

In less than twenty minutes, Chen Chao arrived. Qi Tongwei had already taken out the small tea tray that Li Wei had given him last time and started to make Kung Fu tea. The office was filled with the woody scent and tea aroma of the tea tray.

"Sit down, you came so quickly.

Have a cup of tea, it's cold outside."

It was the first time that Chen Chao encountered Qi Tongwei's attitude. He was a little at a loss for a moment. After all, Qi Tongwei had almost made him cry several times before, and he had been frightened and pressured a lot.

"What? Sit down. You're not used to seeing me smiling like this."

"That's not what I meant, Mayor."

That's clearly what the awkward smile means, and all the muscles are tense.

"Okay, relax, don't be nervous.

When you were under my management, I sometimes used a harsh attitude in order to push the work forward.

But, you know, sometimes it's a helpless move.

I am a young man, barely 27 years old in January, and I have to carry so many heavy responsibilities on my shoulders: one town and five streets in the new district, and I also have to develop the high-tech zone.

If you laugh and joke with the cadres below you, you know how experienced you were when you were in the township.

Yeah, I had no choice at the time. I didn’t want to say that everyone was harmonious, but it was forced by reality.

But now we no longer have a subordinate relationship. You have gone to the Municipal Planning Commission and are no longer under my jurisdiction, so there is no urgent working relationship between us anymore.

We can all be good friends now.”

Having said that, Chen Chao finally felt relieved and felt that it made sense. The economic miracle of Jiangbei New District could not be accomplished by some easy-going young people.

It is because of the high demands and strong push of Jin Qi and others that such a good situation has been achieved. Now Chen Chao's platform covers the entire city and has a wider scope.

Leaders of other districts, counties and even county-level cities always try to blend in with the world and follow the old way of being an official. In fact, they do not have too many plans for the economy, and mostly let the economy develop naturally by inertia.

The situation of natural development is that the growth is rapid in the early stage, but due to the lack of planning in the middle and late stages, each side does not help but becomes an obstacle.

You may not understand what I mean by this, so let me give you a simple example: the housing planning of a small town.

If the government is absent and the town residents are allowed to build their own houses, the result will be that all the alleys will be blocked. Roads are something that whoever can take advantage of them will do so. Rich people will build more floors, up to eight or ten floors.

However, residents without money can only build two or three stories high. The small houses are squeezed into several ten- or eight-story high-rise buildings. They are blocked from all directions. When you open a window, you will see a wall. There is no planning for sewage pipes, and sewage flows everywhere.

The end result was that everyone was uncomfortable. The buildings were hand in hand and uneven, just like the Walled City in Hong Kong. The sanitation and lighting were extremely poor.

This is the current development status of other districts and counties and even other industrial zones. The development speed was quite fast in the early stage, and houses were built one after another, but the public space was occupied. There was no coordination and cooperation among various industries, and there was still crazy internal competition. There were serious safety production and fire protection hazards, and the management was loose. Workers often got their hands pinched or fires broke out somewhere.

An opposite example is the High-tech Zone. Jin Qi and his team have strict control and each factory building must be strictly planned. Openings have been left in the sewage pipes between the factories early on, and the new factories can be directly connected to them.

Before officially starting production, it is necessary to register with several newly established business-related departments in the high-tech zones and provide on-site guidance to eliminate various production hazards.

The layout of various industries must also be studied by the management committee, and the association will control competition in the same industry.

This is like a small town with a complete plan. Every villager can only build a five-story house. The safety standards are also unified by government departments, and the lighting and other basic guarantees of each house are fully guaranteed before they are approved.

At the same time, the roads in the town are also strictly planned. The width and length of the alleys are determined, the width of the main roads are determined, and who owns the public street lights. Only after all these are planned can the town be built beautifully, and the residents will not quarrel over whose house has a few more square meters.

The development potential of the high-tech zone is much stronger than those industrial zones that do nothing and do nothing. This is the consensus of all the leaders of the Municipal Planning Commission. The city has no shortage of capable leaders, and they can see that this is the way to development.

It’s just that everyone is a temporary official and they only work in each position for two to three years. They are more concerned about whether the data looks good in the next two years. They don’t have time to take care of long-term things.

In the past, they thought that the economy could not develop because the government intervened too much. After the reform and opening up, the people's entrepreneurial enthusiasm was mobilized, and everyone thought that the government should intervene less, let the people start their own businesses, and develop faster.

After seeing the model of the high-tech zone, I realized that no matter whether the government is involved or not, there is an appropriate degree of supervision.

It is not advisable to completely ignore everything, as controlling everything will restrict vitality. What Jin Qi and the others are doing is more like the strategy of a commander-in-chief who cannot control his pants, that is, micro-autonomy and macro-control.

"District Chief, you asked me to come here, there must be something wrong.

This tea tastes good, is it black tea from Wuyi Mountain? "

Qi Tongwei smiled.

"You are quite knowledgeable. This is Wuyi Mountain Cixin Garden black tea. It was given to me by a classmate from the Central Party School. If you like it, take some back. But I won't buy much, just two kilograms.

I called you here this time because I have something important to tell you."
