On Monday, Li Yanqing, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, embarked on the road of investigation again.
This time the destination is Huangzhou.
Huangzhou is the second-ranked sub-provincial city in Handong and one of the five cities in the country with separate planned status. It is an important trade port and coastal city in the east. It undertakes a large amount of trade volume from Japan and South Korea. It is one of the northern coastline of China. A pearl.
In East Handong, Huangzhou's GDP has always been the well-deserved number one, and it has radiated to several surrounding prefecture-level cities.
Therefore, Handong is the two center.
Jiangzhou is the political center, while Huangzhou is the economic center.
Some people say that Huangzhou is the little Shanghai of Handong.
Some people say that there are Huangzhou in China and Jiangzhou in East Handan.
Others say that Huangzhou is preparing to be upgraded to a municipality directly under the Central Government.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and it will not be realized until 2023, and there is no sign of it being realized.
Liang Jiangtao knew that Huangzhou's peak was at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in 2018, when it was exposed to the world.
Huangzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Mi was transferred from Vice Governor Handong and ranked ninth in the Standing Committee.
He and Li Yanqing are both powerful people in the Standing Committee. One is in charge of organization and personnel, and the other is in charge of important economic cities.
But in comparison, the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has a psychological advantage.
In this era, the top leaders of important sub-provincial cities were generally not Z candidates, and their status was not as important as that of later generations.
Huangzhou's middle-level cadres, such as district party committee secretaries, directors, and directors, are all deputy department-level cadres. Although they are inspected and appointed by the Organization Department of the Huangzhou Municipal Party Committee, they need to report to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for approval, so Huangzhou as a whole is subject to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. The constraints are even greater, and we need to have a good relationship with the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister.
Li Mi was very polite to Li Yanqing, even a little humble.
There is respect for Li Yanqing's qualifications and abilities, and there is also a hint of predictability in it.
Li Yanqing may be promoted to deputy secretary of the provincial party committee at any time and become his leader.
Li Mi knew this very well.
Mayor Wu Zhinong is also a deputy provincial leader, but he seems more humble when facing Li Yanqing.
At the symposium, he first reported on the economic and social development of Huangzhou.
"Huangzhou's GDP last year was 165.35 billion yuan, an increase of 13.4% over the previous year. The local general budget revenue was 10.08 billion yuan, an increase of 18.4% over the previous year. The city's fixed asset investment..."
This is the first time Liang Jiangtao has heard economic data since his rebirth. In this era, the total amount is still relatively small. Twenty years later, the local fiscal general budget revenue of many county-level cities will exceed 10 billion.
At the same time, the growth rate is really fast!
It could easily be a dozen or twenty points, and future generations would not even dare to think about it.
Li Yanqing nodded frequently, expressing satisfaction.
The standard of the dinner reception was also very high, with the secretary and mayor accompanying each other, and basically all members of the team at home attended.
In the afternoon, Hu Benwei, director of the Organization Department of the Huangzhou Municipal Party Committee, accompanied the investigation and went to Yuanyang Technology, Huangzhou Shipyard, Ocean University and other units for investigation.
Ocean University left a deep impression on Liang Jiangtao. Ocean University has a long history and was one of only a dozen comprehensive universities before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The campus environment here is beautiful and the architecture is also very rich.
In the evening, Hu Benwei accompanied Minister Qing to dinner.
Before the meal, there were only three people in the small lounge, Minister Yanqing, Hu Benwei and Liang Jiangtao.
Minister Yanqing suddenly said: "I recommended you to the provincial party committee as the next candidate for executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the provincial party committee. I want to hear your thoughts."
When Hu Benwei heard this, he was stunned.
This was something he never expected.
From the Standing Committee of the Huangzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Director of Organization to the Executive Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, they are all at the department level.
But there is a big gap in actual status!
According to Hu Benwei's own plan, it would be a good way out for him to work in Huangzhou for two years and then go to other prefecture-level cities to become mayors.
The executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is as important as the secretary of the general prefecture-level municipal party committee.
Unexpectedly, now I not only get it right in one step, but also achieve a leap!
Moreover, his direct boss was Minister Yanqing.
Minister Yanqing's ability and ambition are well-known. If you follow him, you can think of solving the deputy department in the future!
So many thoughts flashed through my mind, followed by uncontrollable ecstasy.
"Thank you to the minister for your trust and cultivation. I am willing in my heart and resolutely obey the organization's arrangements. If I can get the position of executive deputy of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, I will do my best to do relevant work and work hard to repay the organization and leadership. My love!" Hu Benwei expressed his stance.
"Very good, you should know the relevant work well, think about how to carry out the work better, and be prepared for the work here." Li Yanqing nodded.
This important personnel arrangement is mainly based on his opinions.
Whoever he recommends to the provincial party committee will most likely be the one in the end.
According to past practice, most municipal party committee secretaries hold this position.
But after careful inspection, he was not prepared to let the municipal party committee secretary do it.
Because organizational personnel work is becoming more and more professional. If the municipal party committee secretary is to do it, although there will be no problem with politics and leadership, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in business, so he needs to find someone who is familiar with this aspect of affairs. leadership.
Hu Benwei is an old man in the organizational system. He has worked in the Organization Department, Personnel Bureau, and Staffing Office, and he has also served as county party committee secretary. It can be said that he is the best candidate because he can not only give direction but also have professional capabilities.
Liang Jiangtao saw from the exchanges between the minister and Hu Benwei that the two did not have a close personal relationship before, but Minister Yanqing still gave him the position.
It shows that Minister Yanqing is open-minded and does not blindly use his own personal information, but uses whoever is suitable.
This is very rare among leading cadres.
After further understanding, Hu Benwei should be a high-level leader. Although his attitude is very humble, he speaks very forcefully and sees problems from a long-term perspective.
And the words are very measured. Most people are so transcended, and it is easy for them to make explicit statements, such as just following your lead, or making a grass ring in order to repay them. At least they have an attitude.
But he didn't, and maintained a certain degree of restraint, which at least showed that he was a gentleman.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
No wonder Minister Yanqing fell in love with him.
Then came the dinner party.
Since he came to a subordinate unit for research, Liang Jiangtao was naturally sitting at the main table.
But he insisted not to drink and to serve the leader well.
The food is very characteristic of Huangzhou, mainly seafood, and it is also extremely exquisite.
Leaders from the Organization Department of the Huangzhou Municipal Party Committee came over to toast him one after another. Of course, he always responded with tea instead of wine.
