Chapter 917

~10 min read 1,863 words

The end of 1994 and the beginning of 1995 were an eventful autumn for Hudong Province. Some cadres in Hudong Province and Jiangcheng City were adjusted, especially the two top leaders of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, who were transferred at the same time to positions of the same level in other provinces. Although they were not demoted, the gold content of their positions was much lower.

This is also a matter of no choice. Who let Jiangcheng City perform poorly in economic development in recent years? Their GDP ranking in the country has fallen again and again. If it falls further, I am afraid they will withdraw from the ranks of the top 20 in the country. At that time, it would be really shameful.

You know, Jiangcheng City is the provincial capital of Hudong Province. All kinds of resources and policies of the whole province are tilted towards them. The natural conditions and geographical environment are also the most superior in the entire Hudong Province and even the Huazhong region. The foundation is also good. It has always been an old industrial base in the country and an economic hub. Except for a few municipalities directly under the central government, Jiangcheng has always been no worse than other cities, and its GDP has always ranked among the top in the country.

Under these various advantages, the economic development of Jiangcheng City can be said to be difficult and moving against the current. The leadership team of Jiangcheng City naturally bears an unshirkable responsibility. It is not wrong for them to be transferred now.

After all, in this era of economic-led development, economic development is the greatest political achievement of cadres.

The cadres of Jiangcheng City and Hudong Province had already received the news. They were jumping up and down, wanting to get these two positions. These two positions are different from ordinary ones. Jiangcheng City is a sub-provincial city. The top leaders of the Party Committee and the government are sub-provincial cadres. Especially the position of Secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee also serves as the Deputy Secretary of the Hudong Provincial Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Hudong Provincial Party Committee, ranking fourth in the Standing Committee of the Hudong Provincial Party Committee. Whoever gets this position is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step!

In the officialdom, there is a pit for every radish, which is equivalent to two empty radish pits, and they are the two most fertile radish pits. Which radish doesn't want to go to a more fertile radish pit?

Zhang Shiguang naturally also wanted to move to a pit. He dared not think about the pit of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Although he ranked third in the Jiangcheng Municipal Committee, he seemed to be only two positions away from the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, but these two positions were simply a distance like a natural chasm. He could not step up in one step. If the step is too big, it is easy to pull the egg.

Comrade Zhang Shiguang is still very pragmatic. He is aiming at the radish pit of the Mayor of Jiangcheng. This is a relatively realistic goal, and it is also a sub-provincial position, and it is a sub-provincial position with relatively high gold content in the province. As long as he does well in the position of Mayor, it is a logical thing to be promoted to Municipal Party Committee Secretary in the next step. That is really reaching the sky in one step!

However, in this cadre adjustment, Comrade Zhang Shiguang did not get his wish. In his work resume, he was mainly engaged in party affairs work, and he had no bright experience in economic work. The superior now wants to reverse the situation of poor economic development in Jiangcheng City. How could he let him be this Mayor?

His abacus did not ring. Fortunately, he was close to Tian Chengzu. Therefore, his position was not adjusted and he remained in the position of Deputy Secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee.

Ge Hongcheng wanted to go further and enter the Standing Committee, but he did not get his wish. He still stayed in place and remained in the position of Deputy Mayor.

The central government transferred two cadres from other provinces to serve as Secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Mayor. They were Wan Yangbo, the former Standing Committee member and Vice Governor in charge of economy in Zhedong Province, and Li Hao, the former Secretary of the Jianzhou Municipal Party Committee in Yuedong Province.

These two are cadres transferred from economically developed regions, with rich experience and solid achievements in economic construction. This also indicates the importance attached to Jiangcheng by the central government and the Hudong Provincial Party Committee, as well as the determination to revitalize Jiangcheng's economy.

In addition to the two of them, there were some individual adjustments for other cadres in the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

In the province, there were also relatively large personnel adjustments. The most important news was of course that Lu Zhenghong, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, served as Vice Governor of Hudong Province in charge of economy, and also a member of the Standing Committee of the Hudong Provincial Party Committee. The original Vice Governor reached the age limit and retired to the second line.

Lu Zhenghong's level seemed not to be promoted, still sub-provincial, but his ranking in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee moved forward by several places, from the last place to the eighth place. This can be considered a not small progress, and now his real power is much greater.

Originally, although Lu Zhenghong was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, this Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee could be said to be the housekeeper of the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, more like a staff member of the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and did not have the power to be solely responsible for one side.

Now that he is this Vice Governor, the situation is very different, especially since this Vice Governor is also in charge of economy, and he has more real power in his hands.

In fact, Lu Zhenghong has served in various grassroots positions, especially as Mayor of Xiangzhou, with remarkable achievements in his tenure as Mayor, and can be considered an expert in developing the economy.

Moreover, in the past two years, he also gave Gu Shanmin many good suggestions on the work of developing agricultural economy in Hudong Province, and gave Gu Shanmin a very good impression on economic issues. Gu Shanmin also needs to make his own voice heard in the provincial government. He now trusts Lu Zhenghong very much. Of course, he wants to push Lu Zhenghong to this position of Vice Governor with all his strength.

Therefore, Lu Zhenghong is fully qualified for this position of Vice Governor.

At the beginning of 1995, the cities and counties below also made some fine-tuning in personnel. Ji Tao was transferred to Yulin City to serve as the Minister of Publicity of the Municipal Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Yulin Municipal Party Committee. Due to the outstanding performance of Shangjun County in economic development and other work in recent years, his promotion is also a logical thing.

In 1994, the GDP growth rate of Shangjun County still maintained a high speed of more than 30 percent. The GDP ranking has ranked second in the city, second only to Yushan District, and the gap is already quite small. If this growth rate can be maintained, in another year, Shangjun County's GDP ranking will exceed Yushan District and rush to the first place in the city, which is also just around the corner.

Zhang Shiguang also logically served as the Secretary of the Shangjun County Party Committee, Jia Hequn also took over as the Shangjun County Magistrate relatively smoothly, and Chen Hongfu took over his position as Executive Deputy County Magistrate.

Speaking of which, in the adjustment and development of Shangjun County in the past two years, Jia Hequn did not have many bright performances, but since he served as the Executive Deputy County Magistrate of Shangjun County, this political achievement is indispensable to him, plus there are people in the city who speak for him, so he can be considered to have caught this ride.

Sometimes, this is also a matter of no choice.

Of course, there is still a "acting" word in front of his County Magistrate, and he still needs to be elected at the People's Congress after the year to remove this "acting" word.

There is a lot of good news coming these days. Hou Dajun, the eldest son of Hou Guangbi, flew back from France. He reported to Hou Guangbi the results of his trip to France.

The main family members of the Hou family held a meeting to discuss and vote on this investment of the Hou Group in Shangjun County. Because Hou Dajun did work for some main members before the meeting, and Shangjun County is indeed the root of the Hou family, after seeing the photos of Zhuangyuan Lane and the Hou family's old house being very well preserved, this meeting passed the resolution to invest in Shangjun County by a majority vote.

Hou Dajun, the second son of Hou Guangbi, also completed the investigation on the current situation of the domestic electrical appliance industry and made a feasibility report and project plan. He told Hou Guangbi that the electrical appliance industry is currently an industry with very good prospects in the country, and the domestic electrical appliance market is huge, with a population of more than one billion. It is completely feasible to run an electrical appliance factory, and it is also possible to expect rich returns.

The Hou Group's actions were very fast. They registered and established a Hou Group Investment Company in Shangjun County. The electrical appliance factory they ran would be included in the investment company, and their first phase of ten million US dollars of investment would be remitted to the investment company's account in the near future to start the factory construction work.

In the name of the investment company, they signed a formal investment agreement with the Shangjun County government and the Pengjiawan Town government. In this way, this investment was finally settled, which made Zhang Shiguang breathe a sigh of relief.

This investment company will be managed by Hou Wenhai, the eldest grandson of Hou Guangbi, as the general manager. Hou Wenhai is one of the few people who returned to China with Hou Guangbi this time. He is about thirty years old. Although he is a junior in front of Hou Guangbi and looks inconspicuous, he is also a high-achieving student who graduated from the management department of a famous university. It is more than enough to manage such a small investment company and electrical appliance factory. This is also Hou Guangbi's exercise for the younger generation.
