Chapter 3285

In late July, Provincial Party Secretary Wu Jianbai came to Baozhou City for inspection. This was his first time coming to Baozhou for inspection since he took office.

In fact, Wu Jianbai originally planned to conduct a tour of the whole province after spring, but at that time, it was when the SARS epidemic broke out, so this tour was shelved until now, after the SARS epidemic was extinguished, Wu Jianbai restarted this tour.

And his first stop was Baozhou City, which showed his importance to Baozhou City. However, Baozhou City was also worthy of his importance. Baozhou City's economic growth rate currently ranked first in the province, and its total economic volume ranked second in the province, second only to Yanzhong City.

Yanzhong City was the capital of Yanbei Province. In terms of area, they annexed many surrounding counties and districts. In terms of policy, they were also the best in the province. In terms of location advantages, there was no need to mention it. Therefore, they had long been the boss of Yanbei Province's economy, and their total GDP had always accounted for half of the province's total.

But now, Baozhou City's strong rise had broken the situation of Yanzhong City's dominance. Baozhou City's economic growth rate had been the highest in Yanbei Province for three consecutive years. Although its current total economic volume still couldn't compare with Yanzhong City, it had also formed a huge threat to Yanzhong City.

If the current situation continued for a few more years, and the potential of these large investment projects in Baozhou City was completely developed, Yanzhong City's position as the economic boss in Yanbei Province would be in jeopardy.

Not to mention anything else, just an Ernest Automobile Manufacturing Company and the Mapu Automobile Industrial Park, their future GDP could exceed 100 billion. What a terrible figure this was?

Last year, the former Provincial Party Secretary Gan Yuru came to Baozhou for inspection. Now Wu Jianbai was the first to come to Baozhou for inspection after taking office, which represented that Baozhou's status in the province was becoming more and more important.

Baozhou Municipal Party Secretary and Yanbei Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member Zhao Yichen led the city's leaders to welcome Wu Jianbai in the northern suburbs of Baozhou this morning. Zhao Yichen was full of spring breeze. Although it was midsummer and it was a bit hot in the morning, he was still in high spirits.

How could Zhao Yichen not be happy? After he came to Baozhou, all the work in Baozhou City was at the forefront of the province, and now he had received the attention of the new Provincial Party Secretary. These were all his political achievements, which saved face for him, and this was also a beautiful resume for his official career, making his future bright.

Wu Jianbai came very quickly. At seven o'clock in the morning, his motorcade drove to the intersection in the northern suburbs of Baozhou. Seeing Zhao Yichen and the others welcoming them here, the motorcade stopped. Wu Jianbai got out of the car and shook hands and chatted with the city leaders of Baozhou one by one.

Wu Jianbai was tall and usually had an imposing manner that was not angry, but at this time, he was all smiles, shaking hands and talking to those city leaders one by one, which made them feel very kind.

After chatting with everyone, Wu Jianbai let Zhao Yichen and Su Xinghui get into his car. His secretary took someone else's car. Su Xinghui sat in the passenger seat, while Zhao Yichen and Wu Jianbai sat in the back row together.

Wu Jianbai's car was also an Ernest high-end business sedan. The space in the car was very large. Although Wu Jianbai was tall, it didn't look cramped at all.

After Zhao Yichen got in the car, he asked, "Secretary Wu, are you used to this car?"

Wu Jianbai nodded and said, "This car is very good, very comfortable to sit in, the appearance is very atmospheric and high-end, but the price is not expensive, it is not luxurious, I am very satisfied."

Zhao Yichen smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied. Now the official vehicles of various government agencies in the province basically use Ernest sedans, and many enterprises and institutions also use Ernest sedans. This is a very good promotion for Ernest sedans, and it is also a great support for Baozhou City! On behalf of Baozhou City, I thank the provincial leaders!"

Wu Jianbai smiled and said, "Isn't it right to support the enterprises in our province? Besides, Ernest cars are indeed good, the quality is hard, and the price is not expensive. In any respect, it is worth supporting."

Su Xinghui said, "The Ernest Company has indeed given our government a lot of discounts, but they don't lose money. They saved a lot of advertising fees. Having Secretary Wu advertise for them for free is better than anything! I don't know how much business it brought them."

Wu Jianbai laughed when he heard this. These words sounded comfortable, but Su Xinghui was not wrong.

In officialdom, the preferences of leaders can indeed affect a large group of people, especially the sedans that leaders ride in. The preferences of leaders represent a trend.

Because the safety of cars is very important, especially for leaders, they attach great importance to the safety of their cars. Since even the Provincial Party Secretary chose an Ernest sedan, it proves that the safety of Ernest sedans is very good, which can naturally affect a large group of people.

Therefore, the reason why Ernest sedans are so popular in Yanbei Province now is inseparable from Wu Jianbai taking the lead in riding in Ernest sedans. Su Xinghui said that Wu Jianbai advertised for the Ernest Company for free, which is also correct.

Several people started talking about Ernest sedans in the car. This was a good topic and had something to do with today's itinerary, so they all chatted very happily.

Along the way, Wu Jianbai looked at the streetscape of Baozhou City outside the car window. He sighed from time to time. The last time he came to Baozhou was two or three years ago. In his memory, Baozhou was a city with a low level of urban construction, similar to cities in Yanbei other than Yanzhong, and far worse than Yanzhong at that time.
