Chapter 1237: National-Level Incubation Base!

The next morning, the Huai Province Development and Reform Commission was the first to receive the document issued by the National Development and Reform Commission.

Song Guowei was extremely surprised when he saw this document.

The province had held many meetings recently, during which Fu Yagang had repeatedly emphasized the need to focus on the layout of the high-end manufacturing industry, demanding that the Provincial Development and Reform Commission come up with a concrete implementation plan as soon as possible.

During this period, he had been pondering how to advance and implement this matter.

Now, the National Development and Reform Commission had directly issued a document designating Yechuan County, Xiyang City, as a national-level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base.

This meant that a large amount of policy support and capital investment would subsequently be tilted toward Yechuan County.

The key was that he had no prior knowledge of this project.

How did Xiyang City bypass the province to establish contact with the ministry and subsequently secure the project!

What immense energy must be behind this, and what formidable methods they must possess!

At this moment, the landline rang.

Song Guowei took a glance; it was Provincial Governor Fu's landline, so he hurriedly answered the call.

"Provincial Governor Fu, hello. I was just preparing to report to you. The National Development and Reform Commission has issued a document designating Yechuan County as a national-level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base. However, this matter is very strange; we hadn't received any news about it beforehand."

Fu Yagang smiled faintly, "I was just about to ask you about this. Yesterday, Director Qi from the National Development and Reform Commission called me to say that the document would be officially issued today. I knew about this. During the previous High-end Manufacturing Summit, Tang Ye followed the delegation to attend. At that time, Hou's voice had problems, and Tang Ye was forced to step in at the last minute to take over the presentation task. Who would have thought he would leave such a deep impression on Director Qi."

Song Guowei had a vague impression of this matter, and his mouth tasted bitter.

Having bypassed the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, they had no participation in the entire process, and naturally, they had missed the opportunity to claim the primary credit.

But on second thought, even if they didn't claim the primary credit, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission could still bask in some of the glory!

"Provincial Governor Fu, this is good news for our Huai Province. You previously emphasized many times the need to focus on high-end manufacturing layouts. Now that the state has provided clear guidance, we can add flowers to the brocade on this foundation."

Fu Yagang secretly thought that Song Guowei reacted quickly, and he instructed in a relaxed tone, "You are right. Since the state has already done the screening for us, it saves us a lot of effort. You should formulate a support plan as soon as possible; do not delay any further."

Song Guowei nodded vigorously, "Understood, I will go and arrange it right away."

After hanging up Fu Yagang's call, Song Guowei rubbed his temples and then dialed the number of Ding Zhen, the Director of the Xiyang City Development and Reform Commission.

Ding Zhen was very surprised to receive Song Guowei's call, "Director Song, hello. Do you have any instructions?"

Song Guowei said directly to Ding Zhen, "I just received a document from the National Development and Reform Commission. Yechuan County has been selected as a national-level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base. The province is currently working on formulating a corresponding plan. Do you have the relevant application materials that Yechuan County submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission?"

Upon hearing this news, Ding Zhen felt dizzy, "Ah, ah, a national-level Incubation Base? I, I don't know about this!"

Song Guowei frowned and said displeasedly, "Such an important thing happened in Xiyang City, yet you, as the official in charge, are completely unaware. You need to reflect on yourself properly."

Ding Zhen instantly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly apologized: "Director Song, I'm sorry. This was my negligence. Please wait a moment; I will contact Yechuan County immediately and organize the materials to be sent to the province as soon as possible."

Song Guowei gave a grunt, "I'll wait for your news!"

Ding Zhen took out his address book and dialed Han Zhengyi's landline number.

"Secretary Han, this is Ding Zhen from the Municipal Development and Reform Commission."

Han Zhengyi was somewhat surprised, "Director Ding, is there something the matter?"

"I just received a call from Director Song of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. He announced some good news. The National Development and Reform Commission has issued a document selecting our Yechuan County as a national-level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base. Congratulations to you all!" Ding Zhen did not have much contact with Han Zhengyi, so he still needed to lay some groundwork before speaking.

It took a long time for Han Zhengyi to react.

Tang Ye had been busy for the past few months working on the layout of the high-end manufacturing industry under the Eastward Strategy.

He had asked for leave to go to Liaoning Province to attend the High-end Manufacturing Summit.

Not long ago, he also went to Yanjing, saying he had been granted an audience by a certain leader.

Connecting it all now, it was all for the sake of silently building up strength for this very moment.

"Thank you, Director Ding, for bringing this good news. That Yechuan could secure this project is inseparable from the support of the province."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.

These words were somewhat sarcastic about the Municipal Development and Reform Commission not contributing.

Ding Zhen couldn't help but blush, but he quickly adjusted his mindset,

"The province wants to further understand the specific situation of this project in order to accurately introduce support policies.

So I would like to discuss with you whether you could send a copy of the application materials that Yechuan County submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission to the city?"

Han Zhengyi said truthfully, "This project was pushed forward independently by County Magistrate Tang throughout the entire process. I don't have the materials here either; I will communicate with County Magistrate Tang later."

Ding Zhen couldn't help but be stunned.

As a core department in the local administrative system, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission had always been hailed as the "Number Two Government." Usually, subordinate departments would take the initiative to cooperate; when had they ever needed to look at the face of a county-level government?

However, this time Yechuan County had bypassed the city, and even the province, to obtain policies directly from the National Development and Reform Commission, which was indeed caught off guard.

He squeezed a smile onto his face and said, "Okay, please do it as soon as possible. The province is urging us tightly!"

Han Zhengyi felt Ding Zhen lowering his posture, and he felt an indescribable sense of relief inside.

Subsequently, he dialed Tang Ye's phone.

"County Magistrate Tang, good news! The national-level High-end Manufacturing Incubation Base project has officially passed approval!"

Tang Ye had known about this news last night, so he wasn't too surprised.

"I heard wind of it last night. Has the official document come down?"

"Yes, the province has received the document. They are asking the city for the application materials! Director Ding of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission is in a huge rush."

Tang Ye smiled faintly, "I will contact Director Ding later and send him the application materials."

Han Zhengyi acknowledged, "You deserve the greatest credit for securing this project."

Tang Ye hurriedly flattered him, "Secretary Han, if it weren't for your support, this project wouldn't have been secured."

Han Zhengyi actually knew very well in his heart.

That this project could be run down was entirely a manifestation of Tang Ye's ability.

He himself had not been optimistic about this project from the very beginning.

Because he felt that Yechuan County did not meet the conditions.

But Tang Ye proved through actual actions that if there are no conditions, one can create them.

There is a saying!

The world is actually just a giant makeshift stage.

As long as you do a little more and think a little more than others, you can stand out!

Han Zhengyi smiled and said, "Let's work hard together, and from here on out, we will go all out to implement this project well."

Tang Ye said, "With the successful application for the National Level Project, we need to reposition the development potential of Yechuan. The city is currently negotiating with Jinhua Group, and with the backing of this national project, we will have more bargaining chips in the negotiations!"

Han Zhengyi understood Tang Ye's concerns, "From the very beginning, I was against this investment project. Rest assured, I will bring it up during the negotiations. The situation has changed now; it is no longer a buyer's market, but a seller's market!"

Tang Ye agreed, "If the five hundred mu of commercial land is put up for public bidding, many enterprises will be interested."
