Chapter 349

Out of the airport, Du Wenlong and Zeng Ming came to pick up the plane, which was specifically arranged by Lu Fan.

After sending Li Mingzhou back to his residence, Lu Fan saw that the two of them were greatly relieved and laughed: "Have you notified the brothers?"

Du Wenlong said: "Brother Fan, I gave your house key to Xia Li. They should all be here by now."

Lu Fan said: "You two were promoted to Zhengke level earlier. I recommended both of you to the Secretary, so there should be no problem. It is estimated that there will be an inspection after work. You must be cautious in your words and actions recently, and don't make any moths!"

Du Wenlong didn't speak, Zeng Ming said: "Brother Fan, thank you!"

"We are all brothers, no need to say more! When you arrive at the new post, do your work well."

After arriving home, the wine and dishes were already on the table. The annual gathering arrived as scheduled. The brothers gathered together, full of laughter, very lively!

On February 22nd, work started auspiciously! On the first day of the Spring Festival holiday, Lu Fan went to the County Party Committee Office, Propaganda Department, Organization Department, Industrial Park, County Economic Development Bureau, Chengguan Town, and other units to visit and comfort cadres and employees, expressing New Year greetings and beautiful blessings to everyone.

Everywhere he went, Lu Fan shook hands with cadres and employees cordially and greeted each other, wishing everyone good health and smooth work in the new year, and hoping that everyone would base themselves on the reality of work, speed up from the start, strive for the first from the beginning, continue to play their functional roles, and continue to contribute strength to the county's economic and social development.

At 10:00 AM, the county-wide leading cadre meeting and business environment improvement meeting were held.

At the meeting, County Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhang Qianyuan reported on the work carried out last year, made comprehensive arrangements and deployments for the quality and efficiency improvement work of the business environment this year, and interpreted the implementation plan and improvement measures.

Subsequently, County Party Committee Secretary Lu Fan delivered a speech. He smiled and said: "Eat and drink enough, and the New Year is over. Everyone must quickly walk out of the state of the holiday, and with full work enthusiasm, good mental state, and pragmatic work style, quickly invest in various work, ensure that all work in the county is promoted in an orderly manner, and strive for the people of the whole county to live a beautiful and happy life!"

"Comrades, in the past year, we have done a lot of work in optimizing the business environment, but compared with advanced regions, our county's business environment still has many pain points, blocking points, and difficult points, and there is still a certain temperature difference and gap with the needs of enterprises and the masses."

"All units and departments must carefully compare, deeply reflect, see the gap, find the problems, take hard moves and real moves, fill the shortcomings and block loopholes as soon as possible, and truly release the drive of the vast number of cadres and masses in the process of optimizing the business environment, laying a solid foundation for promoting high-quality development in all directions and winning new competitive advantages."

"This year is the year of quality and efficiency improvement of our Ganshui business environment, which is one of the key tasks of the County Party Committee and County Government. We must move for real, scrape bones to heal wounds, and act immediately!"

"First, create an efficient government environment. Delegate power and empower market entities, promote approval speed-up, integrate and reduce internal links to the maximum extent, compress approval time limits to the maximum extent, and promote the 'five reductions' of approval items, application materials, handling links, various certificates, and approval time."

"Second, create a fair market environment. Implement relief and benefit-enterprise policies, smooth government-business communication channels, and create a stable, fair, transparent, and predictable good market environment."

"Third, create a high-quality production environment. Strictly clean up enterprise-related charges, break land bottlenecks, reduce burdens and costs for the masses and enterprises to handle things."

"Fourth, create a fair legal environment. Resolutely investigate and punish behaviors of random inspection, random apportionment, and random reaching out to enterprises, and establish a clear orientation of protecting entrepreneurs, respecting taxpayers, and serving entrepreneurs in the whole society."

"Every 'small matter' of the business environment is a major event related to Ganshui's future development. The County Discipline Inspection Commission must fully play its leading role, grasp overall coordination, research and scheduling, and other work, go to the front line, to enterprises, and to the masses to serve in advance and solve problems. We must insist on zero tolerance and full coverage, improve and perfect the reporting and investigation system mechanism, and further increase the intensity of supervision, discipline, and accountability."

"In a word, whoever dares to reach out to enterprises and the masses will have their hands chopped off! Whoever dares to shirk responsibility, prevaricate, and perfunctorily deal with enterprises and the masses will have their hats taken off! Discover one case, investigate one case, handle it at the top level, and never be lenient!"

The first shot of the New Year, sounding the awareness of serving the people.

After the meeting, Lu Fan and County Chief Yuan Weiwei discussed immediately preparing for the county-wide investment attraction mobilization meeting. This year, Ganshui must grasp investment attraction as the top priority.

In the afternoon, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department inspection group came to Ganshui to conduct an organizational inspection of County Party Committee Deputy Secretary Wang Zhikun, and at the same time conducted an organizational talk with County Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhang Qianyuan.

Near the end of work, the inspection announcement was posted in the county compound. Wang Zhikun was proposed to be appointed as the main leader of the county district.

This inspection greatly stimulated the county-level leaders of Ganshui. Before, everyone knew that Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Mingzhou valued Secretary Lu very much, but they didn't expect the weight to be so heavy that it could reach the exaggerated degree of recommending a County Chief. If they didn't "desperately" lean towards Secretary Lu, then there was something wrong with their brains!

On February 24th, the County Party Committee held an investment attraction mobilization meeting, presided over by County Party Committee Secretary Lu Fan. All county-level leaders, township secretaries, functional bureau directors, and project unit top leaders participated.

The meeting comprehensively reviewed and summarized the investment attraction work situation last year, found existing problems, analyzed the current investment attraction situation, deployed this year's investment attraction work, and County Chief Yuan Weiwei assigned investment attraction tasks to each unit, further transmitting pressure.

After getting the task table, the participants frowned and looked at each other, their hearts turning over the rivers and seas, because even the Animal Husbandry Bureau Director was assigned an investment attraction task of 50 million, all county-level leaders were above 100 million, and the Economic Development Bureau was as high as 2 billion yuan!

County Party Committee Secretary Lu Fan said: "Comrades, a person's strength is limited, and everyone picks up firewood to make the flame high. Ganshui is our common home, and development is our common responsibility."

"Great cause needs to join hands, and heavy responsibility values the same heart. This year, those sitting here are the main bodies of investment attraction. Everyone must 'sell' Ganshui's advantageous resources, preferential policies, and investment attraction projects. The whole county forms a strong atmosphere of 'there are no outsiders in investment attraction, everyone is an investment attraction main body,' paying new efforts, enhancing new power, and injecting new vitality for Ganshui's economic construction!"

"National investment attraction, starting from me. My task is 5 billion yuan, the County Chief's task is 3 billion yuan, and your tasks are all in your own hands. This year, our Ganshui will judge heroes by investment attraction achievements, and vigorously promote and reuse excellent cadres who shine in investment attraction work!"

"You have certain resources in your hands, and you all have some connections. Don't hide them. I know the relationships of some comrades very well. Instead of using them to 'run for officials and ask for officials,' it is better to serve Ganshui's economic overall situation. If you have achievements, the County Party Committee will not be stingy with 'hats.' To say something behind closed doors, whoever has the largest investment attraction amount this year will definitely be promoted and reused, and we will recommend it to the Municipal Party Committee with the strength of the whole county! Whoever cannot complete the task will 'not eat cold noodles and move the bench,' and stay wherever it is cool!"

"In addition, the County Party Committee and County Government are drafting investment attraction reward regulations. The general opinions are: for investment projects introduced from outside the city or abroad, projects with fixed asset investment of 50 million yuan—100 million yuan will be rewarded 500,000; projects with fixed asset investment of 100 million yuan—500 million yuan will be rewarded 1 million; projects with fixed asset investment of more than 500 million yuan will be rewarded 2 million yuan RMB!"

"This is bright, reasonable, and legal income. As long as you have the ability, the County Party Committee and County Government will not be stingy with rewards! Not only public officials can enjoy this policy, but as long as they can bring investment to Ganshui, even a three-year-old child will be heavily rewarded!"

Wealth moves people's hearts. As soon as these words came out, everyone was racking their brains to calculate how to take down those damn bonuses!

Two consecutive major meetings let the leading cadres of the whole county know Secretary Lu's work ideas this year, which is to grasp investment attraction and grasp the business environment.

On February 26th, the County Party Committee and County Government widely publicized within the scope of the whole county, distributing brochures and proposals.

Ganshui County National Investment Attraction Proposal:

Ganshui's magnificent blueprint has been drawn. Standing at a new starting point and opening a new journey, the County Party Committee and County Government will take investment attraction and strengthening industries as an important grasp, calling on the people of the whole county to condense their strength, follow the trend, and invest in investment attraction work with full passion, contributing strength to the high-quality economic development of the whole county. Here, the following proposal is issued:

First, strive to be a propagandist for investment attraction. The vast number of cadres and masses in the whole county should, with a sense of responsibility that cannot be shirked, consciously assume the responsibility of publicizing and promoting Ganshui to relatives and friends inside and outside the county, take kinship, hometown affection, and friendship as a link, rely on various channels, borrow various occasions, publicize Ganshui's resource conditions, investment environment, and industrial environment, let more people with lofty ideals understand Ganshui, pay attention to Ganshui, and then invest in Ganshui, forming a warm atmosphere of everyone thinking about investment attraction, everyone participating in investment attraction, and everyone promoting investment attraction in the whole county!

Second, strive to be a combatant for investment attraction. There are no outsiders or bystanders in investment attraction work. Whoever can invite guests and attract projects is a hero of Ganshui, and the County Party Committee and County Government will heavily reward them! The vast number of cadres and masses in the whole county should consciously stand on the front line of investment attraction, grasp every investment attraction opportunity, and try every means to introduce more big projects and good projects to land in Ganshui, blooming and bearing fruit.

At the same time, Ganshui has a large number of people with lofty ideals and excellent talents who are working hard in all parts of the country. These are Ganshui's wealth and even more Ganshui's elites. We must take hometown sound, hometown soil, and hometown affection as a link, actively mobilize Ganshui people outside to return home to start businesses and develop, or provide information and pull strings, adding bricks and tiles, building beams and pillars for the construction and development of the hometown.

Attached are the investment attraction reward standards and investment attraction preferential policies.

Soon, the investment attraction proposal became a topic of national discussion, and many people with ways began to have ideas about bonuses.

When this proposal was passed outside the county, many bosses with investment intentions were also attracted. They were thinking, since it is investment, why not go to Ganshui? Why not take some rewards? Moreover, Ganshui attaches such importance to investment attraction, presumably the investment environment will not be bad.
