Chapter 1490: East Wind Returns to the Heart

turned their attention to the entrance of the conference room. 。A meeting, with the province's deputy secretary and organizational minister in attendance, shows how much the provincial committee value...Xiao Zheng asked Liu Shisen and He Xuexian to rest at the welcoming guesthouse, waiting for Yang Xuhe's car to pick them up. 。Xiao Zheng and Yang Xuehu returned to the municipal committee together. Because it was still early, the municipal committee office building was relatively quiet. Light streamed in from the window at the end of the corridor, a subtle feeling, refreshing. 。However, at that moment someone walked from the side wall to the window, blocking some of the light. 。Because it was backlit, Xiao Zheng couldn't quite make out the other person's face. 。This man could be the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Sun Liangji, or Deputy Secretary Cui Tingjian. However, judging from his physique, it doesn't seem like either. 。"Oh, Secretary Xiao, you're here!" As soon as he heard the voice, Xiao Zheng immediately recognized it. It was Tu Dongfeng, the vice chairman of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference! He was actually waiting for him at his office door early in the morning, which surprised Xiao Zheng quite a bit. 。Xiao Zheng quickened his pace and stepped forward to shake hands with Tu Dongfeng, saying, "Chairman Tu, welcome!" Tu Dongfeng said: "Secretary Xiao, I learned from Comrade Wen Yilong that you have returned from Shen City." 。“I originally asked Wen Yilong to come with me, but he said he had something to do and told me to come alone.” Xiao Zheng held Du Dongfeng’s hand and said, “Chairman Du, you shouldn't have let Secretary Wen come with you." 。Even if Secretary Wen had something to do, or even Chairman Tu, they should come to me directly. There's no need for us to be so formal between us.

"Secretary Xiao makes a good point." 。“A smile appeared on Tu Dongfeng’s face,”I had a knot in my heart, but now that Secretary Xiao has said this, the knot is untied!” Xiao Zheng said: “Come into my office, let's chat some more.” 。At this time, Yang Xuezhu had already opened the office door and window for ventilation. When Xiao Zheng and Tu Dongfeng sat down on the sofa, Yang Xuezhu had already brewed two cups of green tea. 。Xiao Zheng asked: "Chairman Tu, what do you want to tell me today" Xiao Zheng didn't say something like "What can I do for you", after all, Tu Dongfeng was a genuine person. Instead of being polite, it was better to be straightforward. 。Secretary Xiao, I still remember clearly, last time you and Comrade Wen Yilong came to my office 。I made a request of you, which is to arrest Zhao Rongxin and Wu Qin, these two corrupt officials. 。"Tu Dongfeng looked serious and said, 'I originally thought that Secretary Xiao wouldn't be able to do it. After all, the Dongcao political bureau is a complicated one, and some of the cadres here are still in cahoots with certain leaders in the provincial capital.'" 。So, Zhao Rongxin and Wu Qin are really hard to catch! But I didn't expect that Secretary Xiao would 'discipline' them so quickly! As a city committee leader who is so daring, decisive, and keeps his promises, this is the first time I've encountered such a person. 。So, I had to come over today!

Xiao Zheng clearly felt that Tu Dongfeng's attitude towards him had changed drastically. 。The last time we met, although Xiao Zheng personally visited, Tu Dongfeng was mostly cold, suspicious, and indifferent. But this time, Tu Dongfeng personally returned the visit, his words and expressions showing more trust, excitement, and recognition!

Xiao Zheng once again felt that things are done by doing them, and trust is also earned through action. Saying a hundred nice words is not as good as doing one good thing!

Xiao Zheng's mood at this time was calm: "Since I promised, I have to do it!" Tu Dongfeng nodded, his eyes admiring and earnest, and asked, "Secretary Xiao, there is one more thing I want to ask you..." 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and asked, “Alright, Chairman Tu, you may ask.” 。"Tǔ Dōngfēng then asked: 'Secretary Xiāo, what do you think Can this old horse of mine still charge into battle' Xiāo Zhēng smiled and shook his head." 。Tu Dongfeng's expression dimmed. He stood up and said, "Forget it, as if I hadn't asked." 。"President Tu, please don't misunderstand! " 。In my eyes, you are not an old horse, but a steed worthy of a thousand miles! Not only can you go to the battlefield, I believe, you will surely win a decisive victory over thousands of miles!” Tu Dongfeng looked steadily at Xiao Zheng, his two sentences were like two stones, stirring up a thousand waves in Tu Dongfeng’s heart! “Secretary Xiao, this old horse of mine, is willing to be driven by you!” Tu Dongfeng, with integrity and righteousness, these words came from the bottom of his heart. 。"Don't say that, Chairman Tu! Xiao Zheng shook hands tightly with Tu Dongfeng, "Chairman Tu is in his fifties, just the right age to make a difference. With your extensive experience in various roles and rich background in economic and social development as well as party building work, you have a lot to offer." 。“It is my honor to work with Chairman Tu!” Tu Dongfeng felt even more that Xiao Zheng was humble despite his high position, sincere and affectionate towards others. He didn't expect that after years of dormancy, he could meet such a like-minded friend as a leader!

Tu Dongfeng stopped being polite and let go of Xiao Zheng’s hand, saying: "Secretary Xiao, today I will report to you again about my ideas for the development transformation of Dongcao." 。。Tu Dongfeng hurriedly said, "This is not urgent, let me report my ideas first." 。In summary, the five words are "construction, reduction, pull, simplification, and clearing". 。"

These are all verbs. Xiao Zheng hurriedly said: 'I would love to hear more about them, Chairman Tu!' Tu Dongfeng took a sip of green tea, moistened his lips, and said: “Secretary Xiao, let me explain them one by one.” " 。The first "jian" character means building the park area. 。Over the past few years, Dongcao has developed industries like electronics, textiles, and toys. While there are many small factories, they often lack organization and produce products with low added value, resulting in a seemingly prosperous but ultimately chaotic picture. 。The future development direction of Dongcao is definitely the transformation and upgrading of industries, from low-end manufacturing to mid-to-high-end intelligent manufacturing. That requires building an environment that is both beautiful and harmonious with ecology in the park. 。Before, I visited the park of Shenzhen Xinhuagroup. Such a park is our benchmark. 。We can even build a district where people and nature are more integrated. 。We think it's conditional, just like Songhu is a very good place!

Songhu It's the place Xiao Zheng wants to go but hasn't been to yet. 。This evening, Xiao Zheng is going to have dinner there. 。Xiao Zheng didn't interrupt Tu Dongfeng, and listened to him continue. 。The second “reduction” refers to lowering taxes. 。Starting a business is inherently challenging, with numerous tax categories to be paid. Many of these are beyond our local jurisdiction's ability to waive. 。But, for urban land use tax, property tax, personal income tax and so on, which can apply for or report exemptions to the provincial government, we must actively strive for them, and effectively reduce the burden on enterprises in the financial crisis. 。The third "la" character, is to straighten the road. 。Our Dongcao has two very prominent advantages. One is the advantage of industrial foundation. Not only do we have the title of "World's Factory", but also a manufacturing base. Although it is still relatively low-end, it is a clear advantage compared to other places. 。Another advantage is our location. Our city lies between Guangzhou and Shenzhen. As long as we keep up with the advantages and characteristic industries of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, will businesses not have orders We can even attract large enterprises from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to build more production bases here, which will also help them save costs. 。The biggest issue right now is still the time cost. Getting from Guangdong and Shenzhen to our Dongcao location, although not far, lacks convenient roads. During rush hour, traffic jams are common, and even without a car, waiting at traffic lights takes a lot of time. 。So, the straight road I'm talking about is to build a highway from Dongcao to Shenshi and Yuandu, shortening the travel time from nearly two hours to within 45 minutes, significantly saving time costs!

This is a big investment, but it's also something Xiao Zheng had considered before. Unexpectedly, Tu Dongfeng and he thought of it together!

'The fourth 'jian' character stands for simplified administration and delegation of power.' 。When I was the Deputy Mayor and Deputy Secretary before, I often went to enterprises for research. The most common complaint from **E owners was that our government had too many rules and regulations. Besides legal provisions, departments at higher levels also formulated many restrictions, requiring enterprises to have this qualification or that qualification for approval. Many of them could only be processed through connections. Some enterprises spent a year or two trying to get a license without success, which greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the people for entrepreneurship and corporate innovation. 。I also did a special project on how to streamline government and devolve power, truly making "anything not prohibited is permitted," allowing competent departments to shift from "hindering businesses" to "serving businesses!" Of course, because I was transferred to the CPPCC, this project wasn't implemented. 。This matter once again went into Xiao Zheng's heart. 。Looking back throughout history, only those who adhere to the principle of "anything not forbidden is permitted" and refrain from building fences around power can unleash the vitality of the people. Since reform and opening up, from allowing land contracting to permitting commodity trading and individual entrepreneurship, each step has been the government delegating power and dismantling institutional barriers based on the internal needs of economic and social development, resulting in wave after wave of prosperity. 。Xiao Zheng has recently begun to study history and the history of reform and opening up, so he has a lot of insights into what Tu Dongfeng said about "streamlining administration and delegating power." 。The fifth "Qing" character is about clearing pollution and returning blue skies, lush greenery, and clean water to the people of Dongcao. 。In the beginning, when our eastern region focused on manufacturing, the government didn't prioritize environmental protection. As a result, both air and water became polluted. 。Even with plenty of money, people living in such a way can't see the green mountains or the clear water, and therefore they lack that sense of happiness! This is something I haven't really done well before, but it's something I really want to do. 。Eastern Grass cannot just be a 'world factory,' it should also be a livable city! Making money is not just for a better life If you want a good life, you must have a beautiful environment. 。"So, it's time to return the green mountains and clear waters to the people of Dongcao!"

Though Tu Dongfeng spoke only five words, Xiao Zheng listened with great interest and said with emotion: "Chairman Tu, your five words just now are the most weighty and practical advice I've heard since arriving in Dongcao!"n, let’s go eat something. After all, my in-laws have prepared a feast. If we don’t go, they’ll be disappointed.” 。"Xiao Jingyu always considers others' feelings. For those who are good to her, she al...
