Chapter 421 Picking the Fruit
Wu Zhiyuan nodded: "Secretary Wu is right. The approach of implementing policies according to different categories is more comprehensive."
We can explore the secondary roads surrounding the pedestrian street.
Wu Bao waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone, "I'm not discussing whether it's possible or not. I'm telling you that a pedestrian street is a pedestrian street, and its purpose is to represent Qingyan."
What is face? It is image, it is reputation, it is something that cannot be taken lightly.
Even if you manage street vendors perfectly, can you guarantee there won't be any chaos if you put them on a pedestrian street?
Can you guarantee there won't be any problems? Who will be responsible if there's a food safety issue? Who will be responsible if there's a public order issue?
Wu Bao's gaze shifted from Wu Zhiyuan to Liang Dongming: "You are the main responsible comrades of Qingyan. When thinking about problems and making decisions, you must have a broad perspective and consider the long-term implications."
The image of a pedestrian street, on a smaller scale, is related to the urban taste of Qingyan.
On a larger scale, it relates to how the outside world perceives and evaluates Qingyan.
If you let out-of-town merchants and tourists come and see that the pedestrian street is full of roasted sweet potatoes and fried skewers, with smoke and garbage everywhere, what will they think?
Do you consider Qingyan a place of taste and ambition?
Wu Bao concluded by saying, "My opinion on the pedestrian street is that it should be strictly managed."
Setting up stalls and booths can be done in other suitable places; don't make a fuss about it on pedestrian streets.
Your team needs to reach a consensus on this matter and avoid any disagreements arising from it.
At this point, there's no room for further discussion.
Liang Dongming immediately stated: "The Secretary's instructions are very timely and important, and we will definitely implement them resolutely."
The county committee will strictly and rigorously manage the pedestrian street, without any compromise or exceptions.
Wu Zhiyuan did not rush to express his opinion, but paused for a few seconds.
The length of the pause is an art.
Too short, and it looks rushed, like it was just a perfunctory effort;
Too long makes it seem hesitant, like it's contradicting itself.
The length of the message, neither too long nor too short, suggests that he is thinking carefully and accepting advice humbly.
Wu Zhiyuan said, "Secretary Wu's instructions are not only insightful and profound, but also warm and considerate."
In particular, the instructions for differentiated policies adhered to principles while demonstrating flexibility, maintaining the pedestrian street's status as a city landmark without simply saying "no" to people's demands.
Regarding the management of the pedestrian street, the county government will resolutely implement Secretary Wu's instructions and requirements, adhere to strict management and improve quality, and ensure that this street truly becomes a shining name card for Qingyan.
At the same time, we will also follow Secretary Wu's instructions to implement differentiated policies, focusing on the secondary roads and back streets surrounding the pedestrian street.
Conduct thorough research and scientific site selection, and develop practical and feasible solutions to provide standardized and orderly operating spaces for vendors in need.
This will not only give the city a presentable image, but also improve the lives of its residents.
These words were spoken flawlessly.
He neither expressed his agreement to strictly regulate pedestrian streets nor insisted on a combination of regulation and guidance, openly contradicting Wu Bao.
Having a conflict with your superior on the spot is a very unwise move.
He didn't say "implementing the county committee's decision," but rather "carrying out Secretary Wu's instructions."
Wu Bao nodded and didn't say anything more.
Che Jinlu's impression of Wu Zhiyuan improved even more.
Faced with Wu Bao's clear stance, Wu Zhiyuan did not stand up to him head-on, which showed his political maturity; but he also did not simply agree with him, which showed his adherence to principles.
Wu Bao's next itinerary is to go to Wuhe Town.
Wuhe Town is now thriving in all its undertakings.
In this regard, whether it is the establishment of the logistics industrial park and the wildlife park, or the road project from Wuhe Town to Jiangzhou City, it is mainly thanks to Wu Zhiyuan.
On the other hand, Liu Jingjing, the Party Secretary of Wuhe Town, has a strong ability to execute tasks. She has a firm grasp on every aspect, including land acquisition and demolition, communication with the masses, and project implementation.
The convoy departed from the county seat and headed towards Wuhe Town.
Liang Dongming sat in Wu Bao's car and introduced him to the overall situation after Qingyan was incorporated into Jiangzhou.
Wu Zhiyuan rode in another car, following behind the convoy.
The convoy did not go to the Wuhe Town government, but went directly to the site.
"Secretary, look, that hillside is the land for the logistics industrial park." Liang Dongming pointed to a flat piece of land in front of him.
Wu Bao looked in that direction and nodded: "Good location, right next to the highway from Wuhe Town to Jiangzhou."
Liang Dongming said, "Yes, Secretary, we have been studying this project for a long time. Qingyan has abundant agricultural resources, but it has always lacked a modern logistics platform."
Once completed, the logistics industrial park will not only solve the problem of transporting agricultural products out of the region, but will also benefit surrounding areas.
Wu Bao asked, "Who is the investor? What is the scale of the investment?"
Liang Dongming replied, "It's the Song Group from Country A, with a total investment of over a billion yuan, and the first phase investment is three hundred million yuan."
The land leveling work has been completed, and construction will officially begin next month.
Wu Bao nodded approvingly: "Very good! Logistics is a key link for Qingyan's development."
If agricultural products can't get out and foreign goods can't come in, the economy won't thrive.
Now, roads are under construction, a logistics industrial park is being built, and a wildlife park is being established. Qingyan's future will be even brighter.
Liang Dongming humbly replied, "Secretary, you flatter me. It's mainly due to the strong support from the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government."
Liang Dongming never mentioned it from beginning to end; all of this was actually Wu Zhiyuan's doing.
He took the credit for others' achievements without a second thought; other people's achievements became his own.
The convoy stopped at a high slope.
Wu Bao got out of the car and stood by the roadside, overlooking the entire site of the logistics industrial park.
With a wide view, hundreds of acres of flat land can be seen, with distant green mountains and the meandering Qinghe River nearby.
Standing beside Wu Bao, Liang Dongming pointed out: "Secretary, look, this is the warehousing area, that is the cold chain area, and along one side of the road are the office and trading areas."
Once completed, the facility is expected to handle 500,000 tons of cargo annually, directly creating over 500 jobs.
Wu Bao nodded.
Wu Zhiyuan did not deliberately move closer to Wu Bao, but instead whispered to Liu Jingjing, the Party Secretary of Wuhe Town.
It was on Wu Zhiyuan's strong recommendation that Liu Jingjing was able to be transferred from the chairwoman of the county women's federation to the party secretary of Wuhe Town.
Liu Jingjing reported in a low voice: "County Chief Wu, the land acquisition and demolition for the logistics park has been completed. The work with the people has been done very carefully. There has been no forced demolition and no one has filed a petition."
Wu Zhiyuan nodded: "Very good. Land acquisition and demolition are places where conflicts are prone to occur, and it's not easy for you to do the job to this extent."
The resettlement arrangements must be followed; we can't just demolish the houses and leave the people alone.
"Don't worry, the people have all signed and approved the resettlement plan."
We also established a dedicated follow-up service team to conduct regular return visits.
Wu Bao lingered at the proposed logistics park site for about ten minutes.
For the next ten minutes or so, he and Liang Dongming stood side by side, walking and talking.
Wu Zhiyuan remained on the periphery of the crowd and had no chance to say a word to Wu Bao.
This is no coincidence.
When Liang Dongming arranged the research route, he deliberately placed Wu Zhiyuan in the last vehicle and pushed him to the periphery at each research point.
He wanted everyone to see clearly who the protagonist was in front of Wu Bao.
The convoy continued on its way.
The next stop is the proposed site for the wildlife park.
Wuhe Town is mountainous, and the wildlife park is located in a hilly area with undulating terrain, lush forests, and a unique natural environment.
Wu Bao stood on a viewing platform, gazing at the surroundings.
He nodded in agreement: "This place is well chosen. It has mountains and water, and lush vegetation, making it suitable for wildlife to inhabit."
Liang Dongming immediately chimed in: "Secretary, it really took a lot of effort to get this project settled in Wuhe Town."
At that time, there were several other counties and districts competing with us, and their conditions were all more favorable than ours.
But we ultimately succeeded. What did we rely on? We relied on sincerity and efficiency.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The first thing I did after I arrived was to get this project implemented."
Mr. Xu, the general manager of the Municipal Investment Group, told me, "If Qingyan can complete the land acquisition and resettlement within half a month, the project is yours." And what happened? We completed it in ten days.
These words were spoken with force and conviction.
But those familiar with the situation know that the land acquisition and relocation work began before Liang Dongming even arrived in Qingyan.
By the time Liang Dongming took office, more than 90% of the work had already been completed.
Wu Bao nodded again, his gaze turning to Liang Dongming: "Efficiency is competitiveness. The fact that you were able to complete the land acquisition and relocation in ten days shows that the team has strong execution capabilities and that grassroots cadres can fight tough battles."
"Secretary is right. The cadres in Qingyan, especially the grassroots cadres, are indeed very hardworking." Liang Dongming took the opportunity to praise the cadres in Wuhe Town, "For example, Secretary Liu Jingjing of Wuhe Town did not go home for many days in a row for this project, and spent every day in the village doing mass work."
Liu Jingjing, standing at the back of the crowd, looked slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.
She wanted to say that much of the work on this project was personally planned, coordinated, and supervised by County Head Wu Zhiyuan.
But she opened her mouth and then said nothing.
In this situation, it's not her place to speak.
Wu Zhiyuan remained standing on the periphery, his expression calm.
He's used to it.
If Liang Dongming wants to pick peaches, let him. The peaches are here; they can't escape.
Time will tell who planted the tree, who watered it, and who fertilized it.
Wu Bao toured the proposed site for the wildlife park, asking specific questions such as animal acquisition channels, operating model, and expected visitor flow. Liang Dongming answered fluently, clearly having prepared thoroughly.
However, he still revealed some flaws in certain details.
"What stage has the quarantine process for the imported animals reached?" Wu Bao asked.
Liang Dongming was taken aback; this question was beyond his preparedness.
He glanced at Liu Jingjing beside him. Just as Liu Jingjing was about to answer, Wu Zhiyuan spoke up: "Secretary Wu, the quarantine procedures have been submitted to the Provincial Forestry Bureau and are currently going through the process."
The Municipal Forestry Bureau sent people to conduct an on-site inspection last week, and the preliminary feedback is that it meets the requirements. The approval is expected to be obtained next month.
Wu Bao glanced at Wu Zhiyuan, but didn't reply. He turned and continued walking forward.
Che Jinlu noticed this detail.
He knew in his heart that Wu Zhiyuan was the one who truly understood the situation.
Liang Dongming seemed well-prepared, but he only put a lot of effort into superficial questions. Once the questions got deeper, his true colors were revealed.
But he won't point it out.
When leaders conduct research, it is often not to solve problems, but to express their attitude.
Wu Bao's attitude is already very clear—he supports Liang Dongming.
The third stop was the construction site of the road reconstruction and expansion project from Wuhe Town to Jiangzhou City.
This road is Qingyan's lifeline.
Once the road is completed, the journey from Wuhe Town to the city center will be shortened from nearly two hours to half an hour. At that time, Qingyan will truly be integrated into Jiangzhou's half-hour economic circle.
On the construction site, excavators and bulldozers roared as workers busily worked.
Wearing a safety helmet, Wu Bao walked on the construction site's access road, his feet sinking into the muddy yellow earth.
Liang Dongming supported him, afraid that he would slip and fall.
"Secretary, the total investment for this road is 320 million yuan, with the province providing 150 million yuan, the city providing 80 million yuan, and the county providing 90 million yuan."
The roadbed construction is currently 30% complete, and the entire line is expected to open to traffic in the first half of next year.
Wu Bao asked, "Has the county's matching funds been secured?"
This is a crucial question. Ninety million is not a small sum for a poor county.
Liang Dongming answered quickly: "It's been arranged. The province has allocated 50 million yuan in special transportation subsidies, and the county's fiscal budget has allocated 40 million yuan, to be paid in two years, 20 million yuan this year and 20 million yuan next year."
"Can the county's finances really squeeze out 40 million?" Wu Bao expressed his doubt.
Liang Dongming said firmly: "Yes, we have reduced some of the department's public expenses and also adjusted some of the funds from the reserve fund."
Although it's a bit tight, this road must be built; the sooner it's built, the sooner the benefits will be.
Wu Bao nodded.
Liang Dongming boasted to Wu Bao that he had done a lot of work on the project's approval and funding arrangements.
Because he was previously the director of the municipal transportation bureau, he had a unique advantage.
Wu Zhiyuan felt neither resentment nor anger.
He recalled Lin Xue's words: "Those who get things done sometimes have to suffer some grievances."
But as long as the project is successfully completed and the people benefit, history will give a fair evaluation.
