Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 354 Mid-year Summary Meeting

Qi Tongwei sat up and shook his head vigorously to get rid of all distracting thoughts. At this stage, it was impossible for Qi Tongwei to return to Handong as he was developing too smoothly here.

The high-tech zone will have at least five or six years of rapid development, and this was created by him. Relying on this favorable wind and leaving behind a lifetime of political achievements for himself, he will have enough capital to return to Handong.

In this life, the two core members of the Handa Gang, Gao Yuliang and himself, have already moved away from the circle of right and wrong in Handong. As long as there are people like Zhao Lichun and Liang Qunfeng in that land, new gangs will continue to emerge.

Even if there is no Handa Gang, there will be Zhaojia Gang, Jingzhou Gang, and Luzhou Gang.

I believe that when I go back, I will definitely not feel lonely.

..........

At this time, Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang were holding a meeting together in the Municipal Party Committee Building. Qi Tongwei came here on behalf of District Chief Jin Xinkai. District Chief Jin still had to stay in the provincial capital for two days. No one knew what he was doing and he was reluctant to come back.

Mayor Chen Guangwei is speaking on the stage.

"Comrades, please be quiet. The meeting is about to begin.

This meeting is an economic summary meeting for the first and second quarters, and an economic outlook meeting for the third and fourth quarters.

Those present are the main leaders of various districts and counties, as well as the heads of important municipal departments.

Xiao Qi, send the file to everyone."

Qi Tongwei sat next to Gao Yuliang, and the two of them were seated quite close to the front. There are four districts in the city, and Gao Yuliang has the highest status as the district party secretary, who also serves as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

There is also the traditional best place, Bailu District, which is also the seat of the municipal government. The district party secretary is also a member of the municipal party committee standing committee.

The other districts are all at the deputy director level, and there is also an economic development zone. Unlike the high-tech zone, they are independent organizations, and the director of the management committee and the secretary of the party working committee are both set up separately.

It is said that there is now discussion on whether to let the top two leaders of their respective districts hold the position concurrently, just like the Jiangbei New District.

Dong'ou City has very strong county-level economic strength. The total economic output of the two county-level cities under its administration is equal to or even exceeds that of Bailu District. The secretaries of the municipal party committees of the two county-level cities also serve concurrently as members of the municipal party committee standing committee.

This is very different from other cities. There are a total of four members of the municipal standing committee, who are the top leaders of the districts and counties. This is also due to the strong county economy. However, in order to avoid too many positions for the standing committee, the top leaders of these districts and counties have other responsibilities at the municipal level.

For example, Gao Yuliang concurrently serves as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and director of the United Front Work Department, and the district party secretary of Bailu District even concurrently serves as executive vice mayor.

The top leaders of the two county-level cities also have part-time jobs. Of course, the most important responsibility among them is still that of the top leader of a district or county.

If it were an inland prefecture-level city, it would vigorously develop the urban districts and improve the primacy of the urban area. However, Dongou City is different. The industries in each district and county are almost different, and each develops independently. In fact, this is also related to the inconvenient transportation.

Qi Tongwei looked at the data in the report and felt somewhat proud. Last year, the GDP of the entire Jiangbei New District was only a few billion yuan, but this year, it has exceeded 4 billion yuan in the first two quarters alone. According to Qi Tongwei's estimation, if several key projects in the second half of the year can be further promoted, it will be more than enough to exceed the first two quarters.

However, before coming here, the three members of the district committee had reached a basic consensus that the economic data for the second half of the year would be reported at 4 billion. Otherwise, if too much was reported at one time, what would happen if the superiors also required such a high growth rate next year?

The current super-high growth rate is due to filling the gaps in various domestic industries in recent years and is not replicable. Jin Xinkai contacted his friend who is an economics professor at the university and predicted that there will be super-high growth for a maximum of three years.

However, Qi Tongwei wanted to laugh, because he had seen history, and he still thought in his mind that one of the main reasons for human extinction must be the lack of imagination.

You must know that the growth to fill the gaps in the industry will continue for another fifteen years and then slowly slow down.

In the past, Dongou City's industrial layout was too low-end, relying on cheap labor to forcibly drive growth. It became weak and powerless in the later stages and fell into a crazy internal cycle.

But this time, under the promotion of Qi Tongwei, the high-tech zone began to develop technology and capital-intensive industries. This industry has a longer development cycle and stronger growth potential. At the same time, it also led to a large number of changes in surrounding cluster industries.

In the past, Jiangbei's industries were concentrated in low-threshold industries such as toys and clothing, and low-end valves. However, driven by the high-tech zone, industries where ordinary people took the initiative to start businesses have also begun to develop towards technology-intensive supplementary industries.

According to Qi Tongwei's prediction, this annual growth rate of more than 60% will last for at least five years before it reaches a bottleneck period and returns to a growth rate of 20%.

There will be at least two rounds of corporate reshuffles within the industrial cluster, and eventually a few giant companies will emerge that dominate the industry. Other small companies will become affiliated upstream and downstream industries.

In Qi Tongwei's plan, these giant enterprises will be state-owned or have a major stake in the company. All other affiliated industries will be left to the people to start their own businesses, so as to create as many jobs as possible.

At the same time, we must also be wary of company leaders draining out the companies. Twenty years later, several large star companies with state-owned shares in Lin'an, the provincial capital, had actually been hollowed out by the actual controllers of the companies.

For example, a certain drinking water brand has hundreds of related upstream and downstream companies, all of which are secretly controlled by the actual controller. In fact, the original company is left with only this golden signboard. When the state-owned assets found that the company's profits were getting lower and lower, they discovered that the company had actually been emptied of its assets by the actual controller using upstream and downstream related companies.

We must be vigilant in this situation. No matter how good the reputation of capitalists is, the nature of their assets means that they will only instinctively serve their own interests.

However, state-owned enterprises actually have to bear various social responsibilities and various non-profit responsibilities.

Therefore, as long as Qi Tongwei still holds power, large enterprises in the Hi-Tech Zone will not become tools for personal profit-making by corporate managers, and anyone who crosses the line will be killed.

However, he cannot guarantee whether these policies will change after he is transferred, or whether state-owned assets will be re-occupied by these vested interests in some form. He can only guarantee that it will be in his own hands.

Just as he was daydreaming, Gao Yuliang patted Qi Tongwei's arm.

"What are you doing? Stop being in a daze. We will be asked to express our opinions later."

After waiting for a long time, Gao Yuliang finally stood up to speak. Qi Tongwei didn't get a chance. Gao Yuliang still followed the plan discussed by the three of them, concealing most of the investment amount and the expected GDP growth.
