Chapter 577: Chapter 533 High-Speed Conception (Fifth Explosion, Request for Monthly Ticket)_1
That afternoon, the Municipal Party Committee held an ergency Standing Committee eting. At the eting, after Nie Zhenbang gave a detailed report on the situation of Liu Mingyu, the head of the Investnt Promotion Bureau, he proposed that an imdiate double-regulation investigation be opened on Liu Mingyu and to dismiss him from his positions as a mber of the Municipal Party Committee, Party Secretary of the Investnt Promotion Bureau, and bureau director. Deputy Party Secretary and Deputy Director Luo Xiaobing of the Investnt Promotion Bureau would temporarily take over the full responsibilities of the bureau.
This proposal naturally t no objections. The facts of this matter were clear and the evidence incontrovertible. And this happened under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Investnt Promotion Bureau. There was no chance of overturning the outco. Therefore, unless one of the committee mbers had gone mad, there was no way anyone would defend Liu Mingyu. The result was self-evident. There was not a single objection, and it was unanimously approved.
Following the eting, the Municipal Party Committee’s organization departnt issued personnel dismissal and appointnt docunts. anwhile, the Wanghai Daily was also preparing for the layout work. The dismissal and appointnt announcent would appear on the Wanghai Daily the next morning. On the other side, the newly-appointed Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Jiang Huguang, gave a personal directive for a special task force led by Deputy Secretary Gao Wei to conduct a double-regulation investigation on Liu Mingyu.
The situation in the Investnt Promotion Bureau sobered up the officialdom of Wanghai City sowhat. Instances of officials shirking their responsibilities have also decreased. Mayor Nie’s practice of noting latecors at the main entrance had indeed brought everyone on their toes, as no one knew when Mayor Nie might be pleased to do so at their unit’s main entrance.
As for challenging Nie, no idiot would attempt sothing like that. Liu Mingyu serves as a convincing example of the consequences of antagonizing Mayor Nie. Unless one has no intention of remaining an official, one should not provoke Nie.
The week-long Tourism Promotion Week officially ca to a close. Wanghai City had remarkable tourism resources among the coastal cities of Huaxia. Wanghai City was endowed with rich cultural heritage and historical depth, as well as outstanding natural landscapes such as beach shorelines.
Over the week, several major dostic travel agencies had signed tourism developnt cooperation agreents with the Wanghai City governnt. To Nie Zhenbang’s surprise, Chunan Wind Industries was a company specializing mainly in investing in tourism projects. In Chunan Province, Wind Industries had invested in several tourist sites such as Utopia and Wulingyuan. This ti, entering Wanghai City was a fresh attempt by Wind Industries to expand its presence in the out-of-province tourism sector.
Ultimately, after several rounds of intense negotiations, Wind Industries signed an agreent with the Wanghai City governnt. The corporation invested a total of 350 million yuan to acquire 300 acres of land along the coast in the Comprehensive Beauty Area of Wanghai City, and to build a new modern seaside amusent park.
At the sa ti, Wanghai City’s economy had been completely revitalized, and after the national television’s “Daily at Seven” reported on Wanghai, the city’s special zone advantages were fully demonstrated. Enterprises and companies from across the country, intending to invest in Wanghai, began initial contact with the city.
Approaching July, the weather in Wanghai gradually heated up. The coastal city added a touch of glamour to the scorching sumr in Wanghai.
“Mayor, from May until now, within three months, the city has attracted a total of 41.3 billion yuan in investnt. Actual introduced investnt amounted to 32.5 billion yuan. It is estimated that the GDP growth rate of Wanghai City can reach around 13% this year, which is about 3 percentage points higher than the national average growth rate,” reported Executive Deputy Mayor Li Xiangtian in Nie Zhenbang’s office, his face could hardly conceal his joy.
The economic growth rate achieved by Wanghai City was beyond Li Xiangtian’s wildest dreams. The Eastern Sea Group smuggling case had turned Wanghai City into a ss, a black hole of investnt. Outside, no businessn dared to invest, little space remained for business developnt in Wanghai, as the Eastern Sea Group had crowded out all the local business people.
Originally, in Li Xiangtian’s forecast, after the collapse of the Eastern Sea Group, if Wanghai City did not have the central governnt’s policy tilt and economic support, it would take at least three to five years for the city to recover thoroughly. However, the current state of Wanghai City has far exceeded his expectations.
In just three months, not only has Wanghai City’s economy recovered to its previous level, but it has also substantially surpassed those levels. Such acun had earned Li Xiangtian’s imnse admiration. Mayor Nie had demonstrated outstanding abilities. This grand political accomplishnt would be attributed to all the mbers of the Standing Committee of the Wanghai Municipal Party Committee.
As he listened to Li Xiangtian’s report, Nie Zhenbang’s face showed no change in expression. He knew this circumstance was perfectly normal. After Yang Anbang and his cohorts had made an investnt of as much as 30 billion yuan, they had completely resolved the predicant resulting from the collapse of the Eastern Sea Group. Based on this, Wanghai City added only 2.5 billion yuan of investnt. This was not a big deal.
Of course, the account couldn’t be calculated in this way. The 30 billion investnt led by Yang Anbang hasn’t completely paid off yet. Currently, only about 27 billion has been invested, with an additional investnt of 5.5 billion, which is a significant amount in itself.
However, when it cos to Wanghai City’s positioning, there is now a very awkward situation. Wanghai City has quite advanced real estate and comrce sectors, but its industrial base is extrely weak, leading to the lack of a distinct economic characteristic for Wanghai City.
Recently, Nie Zhenbang has been considering the future developnt and layout of Wanghai City. Wanghai is a completely different place from others. As Nie Zhenbang has been promoted to a vice-provincial-level official and has taken up the post of mayor in Wanghai City, he is very clear that it is unlikely that he will be transferred elsewhere within the four-year term of this governnt. Thus, he is considering even more about the developnt and future of Wanghai City.
Firstly, in terms of transportation, Wanghai City has an international airport, a world-class port, and fairly developed railways. The only thing it lacks is a robust network of roads. In May, words from Vice President Shen aroused Nie Zhenbang’s interest. If they could secure a plan for a highway from the central governnt, relying on the Minwang Expressway, they could build a high-speed road circle around Wanghai, which would make a great contribution to the economy of Wanghai.
In the developnt planning of Wanghai City, Nie Zhenbang places high importance on the high-tech computer industry. Nowadays, the dostic internet industry has steadily started to grow. According to his knowledge from the future, rapid internet developnt will occur after entering the new century, and such companies will flourish and generate massive taxes, far surpassing the secondary industry. If Wanghai City could build a high-tech park based on computer technology and the internet at this ti, creating a Huaxia’s Gu Valley in Wanghai City, the city will have no worries for the next few decades.
After pondering for a mont, Nie Zhenbang also nodded and said, “Mayor Xiangtian, at present, the overall developnt of Wanghai City is quite good, and it has been able to make a positive turnaround in Wanghai’s economic situation. However, there are also many problems now. Wanghai City doesn’t have a distinct characteristic. I’m considering transforming Wanghai City into a high-tech park based primarily on computers and the internet, just like Silicon Valley in the United States. In this aspect, Mayor Xiangtian, you could conduct so preliminary surveys and research, and learn from the developnt experiences of foreign countries.”
Now, Nie Zhenbang’s authority in the municipal party committee and city governnt has reached an unsurpassable height. Li Xiangtian was only taken aback for a mont, then imdiately nodded and said, “Yes, mayor, I will imdiately comnce research in this area when I return, aiming to present you a detailed report within a month.”
This plan is not a shot in the dark for Nie Zhenbang. Across the entire nation, only Jingcheng has a Zhongguancun. However, the developnt pattern of Zhongguancun fundantally differs from that of Silicon Valley. Internationally, there isn’t an established model for the construction of technology parks with such specificity. If Wanghai could take this path, it indeed presents a direction for developnt and is not sothing impossible to achieve.
However, it is still too early to talk about these things. With a sigh, Nie Zhenbang stood up, opened the door, and walked out. He said to Li Jupeng, “Ju Peng, I’m going to the municipal party committee.”
…
Zhenbang, why didn’t you just call if you needed sothing? Why did you stop by in person?” At the office of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Taishi was very enthusiastic and personally handed Nie Zhenbang a bottle of mineral water, then sat down on the sofa.
In this respect, Li Taishi pays great attention. If both of them sit on the sofa while talking, it gives the feeling of equal treatnt. If one person sits inside at the desk, and Nie Zhenbang sits on the chair in front of the desk, it feels more formal, like a subordinate reporting to a superior.
Li Taishi’s attention to detail is also a foundation for the harmonious coexistence between the two. At the mont, the unity and harmony of the Wanghai Municipal Party Committee is largely related to the unity between the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the mayor.
At this mont, Nie Zhenbang smiled and stated, “Secretary Li, I ca here primarily to discuss in detail with you the issues related to the developnt of transportation in Wanghai City.”
Seeing Li Taishi’s puzzled expression, Nie Zhenbang didn’t mind. The National Developnt and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transportation’s developnt planning for national transportation is presently in a confidential state. If everybody knew about it, wouldn’t all provinces rush to Jingcheng to curry favour? There’s a saying in the official circle: to get rich, build the roads first, which highlights the importance of transportation.
Then, Nie Zhenbang continued, “Secretary Li, this ti, the State Council has organized the National Developnt and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transportation to form a research team to conduct an overall developnt planning for highways across the country. I think this is a great opportunity for our Wanghai City.” (
