Chapter 3212: Talent Introduction Policy

Zhao Yichen frowned and said, "Attracting talent, does it need money?"

Su Xinghui said, "To attract talent, of course, we must issue policies. What policy doesn't cost money?"

Zhao Yichen said, "But our government spending money to attract talent, will this be a bit inappropriate? It seems the province doesn't have such a precedent, right?"

In fact, not only did Yanbei Province not have such a precedent, but basically none of the inland provinces had such a precedent. Spending money to attract talent, if not handled well, would become a black spot attacked by others. Zhao Yichen had to consider this.

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Zhao, it will be fine. If there is any responsibility, I will bear it. Attracting talent is imperative. If Baozhou has no attractiveness to talent, the stamina for development will be seriously insufficient. In the future, these enterprises won't be able to recruit people here. How can they run enterprises here? And how can they expand their scale? This will only force them all away."

Zhao Yichen understood this principle. For example, Baozhou Special Steel Plant, Ernest Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Baozhou Electrical Appliance Factory, and other enterprises all needed a large number of high-level talent. And the Provincial Government planned to issue policies to support Baozhou City's high-tech industries, which also required a large number of high-level talent.

If there was no talent to support these industries, then Baozhou City would only become a laughingstock by then.

Seeing Zhao Yichen hesitating, Xin Jing said, "Secretary Zhao, I think Mayor Su's words make sense. Introducing talent is indeed very important. Regarding responsibility, we can ask the Provincial Government for instructions, and I can also bear it together with Mayor Su."

In fact, Xin Jing didn't quite understand Su Xinghui's practice of spending money to introduce talent, but as long as it was advocated by Su Xinghui, she would agree. She already had a blind sense of trust in Su Xinghui; what Su Xinghui said must be correct.

And facts also proved that what Su Xinghui advocated was indeed correct. Up to now, Su Xinghui hadn't made any mistakes, so Xin Jing also spoke up to support Su Xinghui.

Zhao Yichen laughed and said, "Comrade Xin Jing, but in this way, your financial balance, I'm afraid, will be tight again."

Xin Jing said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, Secretary Zhao. Isn't this money also spent in Baozhou? Baozhou's attractiveness to talent has increased, and future economic development will definitely be faster and faster. In this way, hasn't Baozhou's financial revenue also increased? From a long-term perspective, this is still beneficial to Baozhou."

Zhao Yichen then said to Su Xinghui, "Then how to introduce talent, do you have any good ideas?"

Su Xinghui said, "To attract talent, first of all, we must start from party and government organs. We can issue policies for those talents with a master's degree or above. Any talent with a master's degree or above and under the age of thirty-five can be hired as a cadre at the section level or above. At the same time, they can also be given a certain housing purchase subsidy, settlement subsidy, etc."

Zhao Yichen nodded slightly. Currently, the age structure of Baozhou City's cadre team was old, and the education level was low, which made the quality of Baozhou's cadre team relatively poor. This was a bottleneck restricting Baozhou's development. If high-educated young talent could be introduced from outside into the cadre team, it would be able to solve these two problems well.

However, Zhao Yichen still had some concerns. He said, "Directly giving money, will it not conform to the spirit of dedication of our party members and cadres?"

Zhao Yichen's concerns couldn't be said to be unreasonable. If these high-educated talents were all coming for money, then how could their combat effectiveness be guaranteed? Would they see profit and forget righteousness? These were all problems that needed to be considered.

Su Xinghui said, "These high-educated talents are giving up the more superior living conditions and higher wage income in big cities to come to Baozhou. We give a certain subsidy, which is considered to solve part of their worries and create better working conditions for them. This does not conflict with the spirit of dedication. Their coming to Baozhou is already considered a kind of spirit of dedication."

Zhao Yichen nodded. What Su Xinghui said was indeed reasonable. Even if the Baozhou Municipal Government gave these subsidies, their overall income still couldn't be compared with big cities. After all, such people were elites, and they couldn't be forced to take much lower income and dedicate themselves blindly. That was also not in line with human nature.

Zhao Yichen was not pedantic to that extent.

Zhao Yichen said, "You continue."

Su Xinghui said, "For those university graduates with a bachelor's degree or above who are willing to come to Baozhou to work, we can give them the policy of settling in Baozhou, and we can also use housing purchase subsidies, settlement subsidies, entrepreneurship loans, and various other ways to keep them. We can discuss the specific terms, but we must issue this policy as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to attract talent."

Since Zhao Yichen had already accepted the practice of subsidizing those high-educated cadres, he had nothing unacceptable about such policies, and he nodded again.

Su Xinghui said, "Besides directly subsidizing university students, we can also subsidize enterprises that settle in Baozhou. Any enterprise that introduces university students with a bachelor's degree or above from outside, we can give them preferential treatment in taxes and other aspects. We can also issue policies to allow them to use their own stock of industrial land to build talent apartments and other supporting service facilities, and give certain subsidies."

This policy was also very practical. The price of industrial land was lower than that of commercial land and residential land, but the proportion of industrial land allowed to build supporting service facilities was relatively low, generally lower than 10%. If this proportion was opened up a bit, enterprises could build talent apartments at a relatively low cost, so that they could create a relatively good living environment for talent.

Xin Jing said, "Hmm, this policy is very good."

Su Xinghui said, "Besides this, we must also create an atmosphere of respecting knowledge and talent in the whole society, and create good environments for education, medical care, entrepreneurship, etc., for these introduced talents. These are Baozhou's soft power, and they are also the foundation for keeping talent. If there is no good environment, these talents will leave sooner or later."
