Chapter 606: Chapter 430: A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step
At 1:50 p.m., Han Yu arrived ten minutes early at the Linghai Municipal People’s Political Consultative Conference.
Originally, the Political Consultative Conference was operating within the City Committee and Municipal Governnt building, but unexpectedly, upon entering the eting room, there sat five old acquaintances.
Vice Chairman Li from the Political Consultative Conference, who had just retired last year, was there; so were Boss Wu from the Bailong Port Shipyard and Manager Jiang from the Linghai Shipping Company; Lin Xiaohui, whom I hadn’t seen for a long ti, was also present; even Zhang Erxiao, looking prim and proper, sat before the eting table.
"Salted Fish, take a seat."
"Oh." Han Yu ca to his senses and, with a smile, asked the veteran, "Chairman Li, what kind of eting is it today?"
"A symposium."
Vice Chairman Li laughed and, lifting his arm, pointed at Zhang Erxiao, "You might not know this, but Xiao Zhang has been supplented as a mber of the Political Consultative Conference. It was just approved at the Political Consultative Conference Standing Committee eting the day before yesterday."
"Thank you, Chairman Li, for your support." Zhang Erxiao grinned and hastily got up to offer cigarettes.
"No need to thank ; it’s not my business. If you want to thank soone, thank the City Committee and Municipal Governnt, especially Secretary Ye. Secretary Ye attaches great importance to economic construction and values the work of the Political Consultative Conference. More than once, he requested that the Political Consultative Conference pays attention to the age structure of its mbers, and required the Political Consultative Conference and the United Front Departnt to strengthen political arrangents for non-party individuals, especially young entrepreneurs who have made contributions to the developnt of Linghai."
Once Vice Chairman Li finished his words, Boss Wu spoke from his heart: "Secretary Ye cares a lot about our private enterprises; last December, in the cold, he personally went to inspect our shipyard."
Zhang Erxiao, unexpectedly becoming a young entrepreneur, even transford into a Political Consultative Conference mber!
While Han Yu found it sowhat amusing, Manager Jiang sighed, "Chairman Li, Salted Fish, Xiao Hui, and Xiao Zhang must be the youngest mbers of our Linghai Political Consultative Conference. It’s really like the later waves of the Yangtze River driving on those before us; it seems it’s ti for
to retire."
"How many terms have you served?"
"Fifteen years, and by year’s end, it’ll be three full terms."
"So you’re a veteran mber!"
"That’s why I’m saying I should step down, and my age is also there; I will retire at the end of the year."
With the shipping company barely afloat, Old Jiang’s mind was no longer on the shipping business. He subconsciously looked towards Lin Xiaohui, with the determination to contribute his remaining energy to the newly registered Linghai Huii Clothing Co., Ltd. after retirent.
Vice Chairman Li was bemused and with a laugh said: "Retiring has nothing to do with whether you continue as a mber of the Political Consultative Conference. mbers can be reelected for several terms in a row; the laws and regulations don’t prohibit it."
"I can’t keep up with the tis. I shouldn’t occupy the position any longer; I need to give the stage to the younger generation." Manager Jiang smiled faintly, revealing an expression that considered fa and fortune as worthless as dirt.
Lin Xiaohui asked in a low voice: "Salted Fish, Han Han must be fun to play with now, right?"
"She is fun, but hard to manage. So small, yet she always wants to go out to play. She cries if she stays indoors, demanding to be carried outside for a walk."
"It must be because your mother always takes her out to play. She’s used to it and can’t stay still indoors."
"Probably."
As they were talking, the Director of the Political Consultative Conference office and a Vice Director from the governnt office escorted Chairman Chen in, who greeted Vice Chairman Li, the senior, upon entering.
The symposium was hosted by Director Liu from the Political Consultative Conference office, who first introduced the leaders, and then invited new and old Political Consultative Conference mbers to introduce themselves. Following that, they asked the Vice Director from the governnt office to brief on the current year’s work situation of the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Governnt and the developnt planning for the next five years.
A full forty-five minutes of introduction!
Despite being a native of Linghai and spending every day in Bailong Port, Han Yu really didn’t know much about the developnt planning for his hotown.
After the briefing, he finally understood the saying, "No agriculture, no stability; no industry, no prosperity; no comrce, no vitality."
The city plans to vigorously develop industrial and comrcial businesses. There are three major actions in the industrial sector: First, to develop the East City developnt zone by intensifying efforts to attract investnt; second, to rely on the Sansing Ho Textile Market to vigorously develop the light textile industry in Sansing and its surrounding townships.
Then there is the investnt in the construction of Linghai Port, with Linghai Port spurring the developnt of the soon-to-be-established Linghai Port Industrial Park!
Everything is centered around economic construction, including several mbers of the Political Consultative Conference Standing Committee, like Chairman Chen, who have tasks of attracting investnt and capital.
Listening to Chairman Chen’s impassioned summary speech, one could really feel the City Committee and Municipal Governnt’s passion for reform, opening up, and vigorously developing the economy.
The future is promising, and the prospects are very bright.
Han Yu recorded several pages, thinking that this symposium was different from what Director Zhou had anticipated, when Director Liu announced that the eting would enter the fourth agenda item, inviting new and old Political Consultative Conference mbers to offer suggestions for the economic construction of Linghai.
Manager Jiang, as a veteran mber, naturally started first.
Comrade Old Jiang, blending his own work with his vision for the bright future of Linghai Port, promised as an old mariti person to mobilize the cadres and employees of the shipping company upon returning, using every opportunity to promote Linghai Port and let shipping enterprises from other places know that Linghai is building a harbor.
Boss Wu was excited to declare that he not only planned to relocate his shipyard to Linghai Port District but also intended to expand the production and business scale after moving there!
This surely would count as a victory for Chairman Chen in attracting investnt and capital; Chairman Chen was delighted and asked Boss Wu if there were any difficulties, promising his personal assistance to coordinate and solve them if necessary.
Bailong Port is located on the Yangtze River North Branch Channel, where only small ships, not large ones, can enter.
From the perspective of enterprise developnt, it is advisable to move the shipyard to Linghai Port District, which is situated on the Yangtze River Mainline.
Han Yu was not surprised by this, only he had not expected that Zhang Erxiao would also solemnly guarantee to move Longgang Rice Industry to Linghai Port District, to buy land and build factories with the soon-to-be-established Linghai Port District Managent Committee, and then to purchase equipnt to expand the production and business scale, aiming for an annual production value of twenty million after starting production!
