Chapter 967 No time (Part 1)
Zhang Daguanren didn't know what kind of resentment Chen Gang would have towards him because of this matter, but he discovered another interesting change. The attitude of the municipal party secretary Xiang Cheng towards him had obviously changed. It should be the common bond of Mr. Xue. Zhang Yang got up early the next day and met Xiang Cheng after going out. Xiang Cheng said to him with a smile on his face: "Xiao Zhang, go have breakfast together!"
Zhang Yang nodded, and could see that Xiang Cheng was in a good mood. He followed Xiang Cheng's footsteps to the restaurant. Huo Yunzhu, director of the Beijing Office, had been waiting there for a long time and the breakfast was ready. She greeted the two of them with a smile.
After Xiang Cheng sat down, he picked up the milk and took a sip, and said to Zhang Yang: "Xiao Zhang, Mr. Xue said he would go to Beigang to see it soon, and the reception work will be handed over to you."
Zhang Yang smiled with understanding: "Secretary Xiang, you are the leader. You give instructions and I promise to complete the task."
This sentence made Xiang Cheng feel very comfortable. He whispered: "Mr. Xue is the person I admire the most in my life. He is very optimistic about you!"
Zhang Daguanren thought to himself, isn’t it because I can treat him? Otherwise, how could I, a younger generation, get into his eyes? This time, Xiang Cheng’s attitude towards him made a 180-degree turn, which must be the reason for Xue. Thinking of Xiang Cheng’s difficulties in the past, Zhang Daguanren found it difficult to associate the smiling elder in front of him. Everyone in the officialdom knows the technique of changing faces, and Zhang Yang is no longer surprised. People show their favor to him, but he can’t face him coldly. Zhang Yang said: “I admire Mr. Xue very much, and he has taught me a lot of principles of being a human being.”
Xiang Cheng found that life was really strange. Before coming to Beijing this time, he hated Zhang Yang so much that he was itchy about Zhang Yang. However, after he learned about the relationship between Mr. Xue and Zhang Yang, he immediately began to learn to look at the problem from a new perspective. He decided to turn enemies into friends with Zhang Yang. Although he knew that this was not easy to do, as long as he had an idea, he should be able to do it. When he parted with Mr. Xue yesterday, Mr. Xue once gave him a sentence, one way for people to get along with others is to respect. You respect others and others respect you one foot. If both of them do not give in, they will only become more and more rigid in the end. When the relationship is in a deadlock, someone must take the initiative to make concessions.
There is an old Chinese saying that you should think well, make the big ones and the small ones, and that’s what Xiang Cheng does now.
It’s not unreasonable that Zhang Daguanren is actually a man who is afraid of respect. To put it bluntly, the conflict between him and Xiang Cheng was caused by official business, such as the withdrawal of counties and cities, urban lighting, and the return of farmland to fields in development zones. These contradictions are not personal grudges. Now Xiang Cheng has clearly expressed his support for his withdrawal of counties and cities, and the unhappiness in the past will naturally disappear. However, Zhang Yang is not a man who is easy to coax. He will not treat him as a good person because of the sudden change in attitude of Xiang Cheng, and will express everything in his heart. Zhang Daguanren’s specialty is to make conditions, and his strength is to seize all opportunities that can be seized and to be as good as possible. He first mentioned the old things and told the matter of solar self-charged circuit lamps, with the goal of taking over the project in Beigang.
Xiang Cheng said: "Xiao Zhang, you said it was too late to do this. Before you mentioned this to me that day, the city had signed a contract with the southern street light manufacturer. We can't breach the contract, right?" In fact, when Zhang Yang told him, this matter was just an intention that he had not signed the contract. He rejected Zhang Yang's proposal because of his personal prejudice. Xiang Cheng is not optimistic about Zhang Yang's solar self-charged circuit light plan until now, thinking that this kid is unreliable in doing things. There is a distance between reality and ideals. Even if the Binhai Science and Technology Bureau has developed this set of things, how likely is it to be put into production? Will the cost be too high? He suspected that Zhang Yang had not calculated the account clearly at all. Although Mr. Xue changed his attitude towards Zhang Yang, he could not change his view of Zhang Yang. In his eyes, Zhang Yang is still an immature young cadre.
Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Xiang, Binhai's financial situation is not optimistic. Can you see if the city can provide some policies?"
Xiang Cheng sighed and said, "Xiao Zhang, I am really powerless in this regard!"
When Master Zhang saw Xiang Cheng's helpless face, he immediately understood that it was extremely difficult to get money from him. It was better to rely on himself than to rely on heaven and earth. It would be better not to speak about money in the future. It would be useless to speak. After thinking through this layer, Zhang Yang and Xiang Cheng had nothing to say. He smiled and said, "Then I will think of a way myself." Then he lowered his head to eat.
Xiang Cheng also slowly ate his own breakfast. He ate very slowly. Chewing slowly can help his health. At his age, he had to pay attention to health preservation. After eating a few bites of rice, Xiang Cheng remembered another thing: "Xiao Zhang, the Ministry of Agriculture recently issued a notice to the city about the Binhai Development Zone."
Zhang Yang was secretly happy. This incident was revealed by him. Xiang Cheng came to Beijing this time to deal with this matter. Because of the matter of the Binhai Development Zone, the Ministry of Agriculture regarded Beigang as a negative example. Qiao Zhenliang criticized the leadership of Beigang by name, and Xiang Cheng was also blinded because of this matter.
Zhang Yang pretended to be confused with understanding: "What did the notice say? I haven't received the message yet."
Xiang Cheng secretly scolded the boy for being treacherous. He made 100% of the things he did. Now he is still pretending to be innocent in front of him, but Xiang Cheng is not easy to expose it. He sighed and said, "The coastal development zone has been progressing slowly, and there is not much improvement. Large areas of land are idle, the people have no land to grow, and the enterprises have not developed as expected. The local people have lost their land and have not been able to solve the employment problems in time, so great conflicts arise, and resentment continues to accumulate. We are not able to provide timely guidance, so some people sued the Ministry of Agriculture. Now the Ministry of Agriculture attaches the most importance to the issue of farmland occupation, so Minister Qiao criticized us severely."
Zhang Yang thought to himself, you deserve it. Look at the place where the Binhai Development Zone was chosen, and it was a little amateur. You have occupied the good farmland, and there is still a large area of barren land along the coast. It’s a sin!
Xiang Cheng said: "In fact, the development of any new thing cannot be achieved overnight. The development of a city requires a process."
Zhang Yang teased: "I have heard that urban development is like a woman giving birth. There must be a process of pain. As long as you hold on, a new life will be born."
Xiang Cheng was puzzled and thought to himself, where is this? I will talk to you about development. Can you get married with me and have children?
Zhang Yang said: "If you want to develop, you have to endure a little pain. In fact, I can't bear to close the development zone. But when I went to the development zone on the spot, I saw that the two companies were still alive and there were large areas of land idle. The fertile fields in the past were all covered with weeds. The people had no land to plant and no classes to go to. How could they live? The purpose of our development zone was not to promote urban development and make the people live a better life. But now the development zone is built, and the people's life is not as good as before. How can they feel comfortable? It's normal for them to complain."
Xiang Cheng said: "It is a long-term process for a development zone from project establishment to approval and then to construction. I don't know how many comrades have made hard work and silent contributions."
Zhang Yang said: "No matter how much useless you do, it is still useless. A donkey can grind out some noodles by turning around the millstone. If you ask a donkey to pull the millstone forward, even if you are exhausted, you can't grind out any noodles. You need to guide the right direction when working hard."
Xiang Cheng said: "Then what are you going to do about the development zone?"
Zhang Yang said: "Return the fields to the people and return the fertile land in the development zone to the people, but the development zone is not unwilling to do it. I solicited the opinions of professionals and planned to move the development zone northward as a whole. The large area of saline-alkali land north of the port should be kept in barren land and could not occupy fertile land."
Xiang Cheng said: "If you think it is feasible, please do it boldly, but..." He paused for a moment before saying: "You'd better go and talk about it yourself, and we will immediately make rectifications on the problems they pointed out. I hope the Ministry of Agriculture will not use our Beigang as a negative example, which will have a great negative impact on the city image of Beigang."
Zhang Yang said: "I can only try it, and I can't guarantee that I can convince Minister Qiao."
The conversation between the two was more like an exchange of conditions. Xiang Cheng vaguely stated that he would make concessions, but he wanted Zhang Yang to make some concessions and eliminate the negative impact caused by him as much as possible. The notice from the Ministry of Agriculture was a warning for the first time that if they really used Beigang as a typical example of blind development of agricultural arable land, then Xiang Cheng's old face would be lost. Xiang Cheng understood very well that the relationship between Zhang Yang and Qiao Zhenliang was extraordinary. Since he could persuade Qiao Zhenliang to help him take action, he would definitely resolve this matter.
While the two were chatting, they saw Chen Gang, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, coming over. Chen Gang's eyes seemed to be searching for something. Xiang Cheng waved to him: "Old Chen, come here!"
Chen Gang smiled, his eyes did not stop on Zhang Yang's face at all, and came to Xiang Cheng to sit down, as if he hadn't seen Zhang Yang at all: "Secretary Xiang, get up so early!"
Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "I heard you drank a lot last night and thought you couldn't get up today."
Chen Gang said: "Secretary Xiang, I am not that old, and my waist can still be straight."
Xiang Cheng laughed loudly.
Chen Gang still ignored Zhang Yang. In his opinion, even if he said hello, Zhang Yang should have greeted him first, but Zhang Yang only cared about eating his own breakfast and pretended that Chen Gang had never appeared.
