Chapter 246 The Foundation of the World
As soon as Vice Governor Zhou said this, some people at the meeting immediately began to echo his words.
I think so.
"I think so too. The input-output ratio of agriculture is really too low. There are human factors involved, geographical conditions are one aspect, and people are another."
"That's right. Yuanshan County has a history of building fake greenhouses to fraudulently obtain provincial subsidies."
"I saw that news too."
"With all the money ending up in the hands of those county officials, what's the point of developing agriculture?"
……
Wearing a black shirt, Vice Governor Qin maintained a smile: "We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater."
Agricultural development in our province is a major issue.
However, we cannot give up on development just because of the problems that have occurred in the past.
The Records of the Grand Historian already covered this.
Agriculture is the foundation of the nation, and there is no greater task than this.
The higher-ups also focused their attention on agricultural development during the meeting.
Judging from the rhetoric of our higher-level media, agriculture has been elevated to the level of the foundation of the nation.
The higher authorities have established accelerating the construction of a strong agricultural nation as the foundation of a strong nation, urging all localities to follow the logic that "a strong nation must first have a strong agricultural sector."
How...
"But here, developing agriculture has become a drag on industry, a losing proposition?"
Vice Governor Qin relayed the message from above.
The implication is that Vice Governor Zhou is leading the way in opposing the agreement.
That was a powerful counterattack.
Vice Governor Zhou's face turned pale.
Anyone who dares to go against their superiors is courting death.
After quickly organizing his thoughts, Vice Governor Zhou's expression relaxed: "Comrades, you don't mean that we shouldn't develop agriculture in our province."
It is said that we should pursue scientific development, prudent development, development and supervision go hand in hand, and support and accountability go hand in hand.
The whole province is united as one, and workers and peasants are inseparable.
Who would dare to say they would abandon agricultural development?
How will so many farmers be resettled?
It's impossible just thinking about it.
Orderly development is precisely a form of protection.
It's starting to sound like a tit-for-tat exchange.
The atmosphere began to tense.
The Secretary-General of the General Office looked at Governor Ma Jinbu.
If Governor Ma gives him a hard time, the Secretary-General will have to speak up.
At this moment, Ma Jinbu put down his teacup, seemingly intending to personally end the debate, so the secretary-general continued to look down at the documents.
Governor Ma coughed twice.
"Our province is a pacesetter in economic development."
Some comrades from inland provinces described us as having the audacity to conquer all corners of the land.
Reform and development inevitably lead to some problems.
We cannot stop developing just because we are afraid of problems.
If this is the mentality, what's the point of having so many cadres?
If we are unwilling to take any risks, then where is our value?
I believe that agriculture not only needs to be developed, but also needs to be developed with greater力度 (intensity/effort).
Governor Zhou's point is also very valid.
The wild horse of the agricultural economy needs to be reined in.
We must stride forward boldly, but we must also be heading in the right direction…
The high-ranking leader's speech was truly masterful.
Both Vice Governors Qin and Zhou were criticized, yet also praised.
The work of Vice Governor Qin was affirmed, and the suggestions of Vice Governor Zhou were also adopted.
David was the one who was unlucky.
The establishment of the Yuanshan County Fruit Industry Company was originally a happy and positive event.
Now, thanks to Vice Governor Zhou, there's also the issue of accountability.
If the project fails, David will be in trouble.
The news quickly reached Dawei's ears through Ding Tingting's phone call.
Tingting felt wronged on Dawei's behalf.
"This Vice Governor Zhou is too wicked."
Why didn't you say it earlier or later?
When your fruit company is about to open, pull this trick.
This has a very bad influence.
You're already under enough pressure, and now you have to be held accountable.
The pressure on you and your crew will be even greater.
This is a public matter. You are undertaking this project for the benefit of the fruit farmers in Yuanshan County, and there is no personal gain involved.
Why should you be held solely responsible for the project's failure?
David sat in his office, holding his phone, feeling utterly helpless.
We will unconditionally obey the decisions made by the provincial leaders.
I started this.
So much public money was used.
If anything goes wrong with the project, it's perfectly reasonable to hold me accountable.
This also tests our confidence in this project.
Overall, it is beneficial to agricultural development.
If the province makes this demand of me, it will make the same demand of others next time.
Gradually, the agricultural support policies provided by the province will be implemented effectively and produce greater results.
From this perspective, my encounter with the accountability system this time has actually been a positive contribution.
After David finished speaking, he chuckled self-deprecatingly twice.
Hearing this, Ding Tingting felt even more heartbroken: "You're just too honest. Even when you're being tricked, you still find reasons to comfort yourself."
David rubbed his temples and sighed, "If I weren't optimistic, I wouldn't have survived long ago."
I've seen this kind of thing far too many times.
I took care of his people, so he's going to teach me a lesson.
The fighting is happening at the county level and at the city level.
Now they're fighting even at the provincial level.
They just keep fighting until a winner is decided and then they can finally have some peace.
If you want to be an official, you can't be afraid of these things.
If you feel wronged, just bear with it.
What can we do?
Are we going to send back the more than 100 million yuan from the Agriculture Department and just give up?
"Then that guy surnamed Zhou will be even happier; he's been hoping I'd do that."
Tingting also felt powerless, but she had no ambition and wouldn't take the initiative to shoulder the burden like Dawei, so she stayed out of the controversy.
If you want to get things done, there will be right and wrong.
She can do nothing and drift along because she comes from a good family, doesn't care about anything, and no one makes things difficult for her.
But not for David. In his current situation, he has no choice but to keep improving, or he will be crushed by his opponents. He can only keep climbing.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Dawei again.
"I'll come over this weekend."
As an external consultant for your fruit company, I should at least go, right?
I can't just take your salary for nothing.
I also want to check on the project's progress and see if there's anything I can do to help.
That's great!
Wu Maocai had previously reported that the opening date of the fruit company had been set, and all work had to conform to this date.
Preparations are underway in an orderly and efficient manner, but many technically demanding tasks lack qualified personnel.
Wu Maocai had no choice but to resort to the despicable method of obtaining service providers' proposals through fake bidding.
If Tingting comes, perhaps this problem can be solved.
She grew up in the provincial capital and worked in the provincial government office, so she had abundant resources in all aspects.
Perhaps she can help find some talent to solve the current predicament facing the fruit company.
How did you get here?
Why don't we take the train? I'll pick you up at the city train station.
The bus ride was too bumpy and tiring.
Tingting chuckled: "No need, I drove myself."
"That won't do, it's too far and too tiring, it'll take five hours, right?"
"Almost there, what's wrong? Are you worried about me?"
As the conversation progressed, the tone shifted...
