Chapter 53: Adding icing on the cake

As the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Zeng Quanjun is also a prominent figure in the entire State Council system.

The National Development and Reform Commission has always been known as the small State Council. The strategic planning of national economic and social development comes from here. All industrial plans and major projects that concern the national economy and people's livelihood need to be approved in this way. The management authority is so great that it occupies almost half of the administrative approval authority of the State Council. Many matters of other ministries and commissions ultimately need to be summarized here for comprehensive evaluation and approval. Zeng Quanjun is naturally successful in being able to serve as the director of the National Development and Reform Commission.

When the secretary told Zhao Guodong that he wanted to see him, Zeng Quanjun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He is quite familiar with Zhao Guodong. Of course, it is not that the two have many personal relationships, but that Zhao Guodong's reputation is beyond his power, which makes him familiar with him.

The national economic growth champion for two consecutive years has created an annual economic growth rate of more than 100%. The first prefecture-level city in the central and western regions with a GDP of over 100 billion is still a brilliant achievement that can attract countless people to the point of view.

All this was created by a guy who was only 32 years old when he was the city committee. This guy is Zhao Guodong, the current organization director of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee.

Ningling's glory is based on new energy, new materials and environmental protection industries. These three industries have become the dominant industry of Ningling, a city without foundation in the past. It is impossible to say that Zhao Guodong, who was the ****** of the municipal party committee at that time, had a forward-looking vision and courage. Zeng Quanjun also appreciated this. Even though Zhao Guodong had been transferred from Ningling, Ningling still rushed forward under the pull of the economic power front he built.

Because of this, Zeng Quanjun has been paying attention to the economic development of Ningling. In the first half of this year, Ningling's economic data had already come out when he accompanied the Prime Minister to leave Beijing, with a growth rate of 64.8%. Although it is much lower than last year, you should know that this is based on an economic basis of 100 billion yuan. This means that if the growth rate is maintained, Ningling's GDP this year will exceed 160 billion yuan. This data is still quite amazing even in the eastern coastal areas. Putting aside those cities with independent planning, sub-provincial cities and provincial capitals, it seems that no other city of the same type can reach this level except Suzhou and Wuxi.

The guy who created such brilliant achievements would quietly be tuned to southern Yunnan and turned into the Minister of Organization. It is a bit strange. At least Zeng Quanjun saw it this way. It is rare for people to have such achievements in economic work, and they worked hard from the grassroots level. Zeng Quanjun once wondered whether he should put this guy in the committee as his assistant. If it seems a bit out of character as a deputy director, it would be fine if he was a member of the Party Group to be the assistant director or secretary general for two or three years.

Of course, all this is just a thought, and Zeng Quanjun did not consider the real implementation. The adjustment of Zhao Guodong's work was a matter of consideration by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. If there was a suitable opportunity, he could mention it, but before he could find such an opportunity, Zhao Guodong had been transferred to southern Yunnan, which made him a little regretful.

Zeng Quanjun also saw Zhao Guodong's performance in Sanjiang two days ago. He cleverly solved the embarrassing situation of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, but he was not proud of himself and won the favor of the Prime Minister. In addition, he was a bit incest with the Prime Minister. He was so young that he could predict that this new official star was rising and his future was unlimited.

But today, Zhao Guodong took the initiative to come to him and still surprised Zeng Quanjun. It seemed that his work scope was not intertwined with the other party's current work. It was a bit strange for him to come to him. But no matter what, seeing this legendary figure and having a long talk was something Zeng Quanjun was very happy to be happy about.

Zhao Guodong originally wanted to bring Wei Wenming and Ye Qingchuan, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea.

He had no personal relationship with Zeng Quanjun. It can be said that he went to visit Zeng Quanjun when he was planning the Ningling Airport project when he was the Ningling Municipal Party Committee. Of course, it was not Zeng Quanjun who played a decisive role in it, but another deputy director helped a lot. However, it would be normal if Zeng Quanjun vetoed it or delayed it for you for a few months. Zeng Quanjun is still very helpful in this regard and has not blocked Ningling's way.

"Guodong, it's been another year since we left?" Zeng Quanjun had a very gentle and refined taste. His eyes were a bit thick, and he probably had a good degree. The breath of a literati and elegant man flowed out inadvertently, but familiar people know that the director of the Development and Reform Commission was really a bit fierce.

While serving as the director of the State Environmental Protection Administration, Zeng Quanjun once angrily denounced the main leaders of the party and government in many provinces and cities on some occasions as long as their political achievements are in front of them, and they have also caused considerable sensation at home and abroad. He is known as one of the senior officials who dare to speak the truth and dare to speak hard words in China, and has a similar bloodiness to Li Jinhua, Director of the Audit Office.

"Yes, Minister Quan Jun, the last time I saw you was when I was studying at the Party School, I went to the Dongzhai Airport project in our Ningling City." Zhao Guodong said happily: "The airport is progressing very fast now. A few days ago, an old colleague from Ningling called and said that the airport construction progress was very fast. It is estimated that the completion time may be opened in advance. I have to thank Minister Quan Jun for his support."

"Well, it seems that the Dongzhai Airport project is at the right time now. It is estimated that when it is completed, it is also the time when Ningling's economic development is most needed. It can greatly enhance the competitiveness of Ningling's economic development and further promote the healthy development of Ningling's economy." Zeng Quanjun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Are you here today for which airport in southern Yunnan?"

"Hehe, it's better for Minister Quanjun to know me. I know that I am lazy. I'm silently climbing to the Three Treasures Hall. When I come, I will definitely cause trouble for you. Even if it's wind, I have to catch it and go back to get the job." Zhao Guodong smiled stubbornly. In Zeng Quanjun's eyes, this role, who is already the Minister of Organization, seems to still maintain his true nature when he was the Ningling Municipal Party Committee.

"Guodong, as the Minister of Organization, you should maintain the simplicity of the organization and work cadres. You are now the leader in charge of cadres. Every word and action represents the image of our party. Being cautious in words and actions is the minimum requirement." Zeng Quanjun shook his head slightly. He has a good impression of this young man who is very good at it. If he is within his ability, he will of course be willing to support and help.

"Minister of Quanjun, this time the Prime Minister brought your large group of ministries and commissions to southern Yunnan. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in southern Yunnan. I walked around and there were people in almost every reception room making generous speeches. I just came out of Minister Jianing and was thinking about where to go. Minister Jianing said that this matter must be passed by you and Minister Youci, so I took the liberty to come to you." Zhao Guodong's words were very intimate, which brought the distance between the two very close.

Xu Jianing is the son-in-law of the Liu family, of course he is one generation older than Zhao Guodong. Zeng Quanjun also knows the Liu family's connections, but Xu Jianing is not close to the Liu family, and can even be said to be not a member of the Liu family system. Of course, under some specific circumstances, Xu Jianing may still receive support from the Liu family's connections.

However, the Liu family has gradually declined over the years, until Liu Tuo has been in the Northeast for several years and has finally become the governor of Heihe Province, it is said that the Liu family has finally escaped the shadow of decline.

As for Liu Yan, Zeng Quanjun is not optimistic. Although this somewhat frivolous and impetuous deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission also has some abilities, his personality determines his destiny. It is far worse than his brother. I am afraid that the deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will be his peak.

However, the future of this person in front of him is limitless. Both the Chairman of the Jianbang and the Prime Minister Guoji have a deep impression of him and are quite good. I am afraid that two young cadres who can win the approval of these two people at the same time will not be found in the country. For this reason, Zeng Quanjun is also happy to add icing on the cake.

"Guodong, you also know that this time the Prime Minister came to southern Yunnan. In addition to attending the Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Conference, another more important task is to examine the development status of southern Yunnan, especially the development of ethnic minorities in the border areas. To be precise, it is not optimistic. Although the economic growth rate in southern Yunnan has not been slow in the past two years, for the central government, the potential of southern Yunnan has not been discovered. There are several problems that plague southern Yunnan, among which infrastructure construction is the key. Therefore, this time the central government also intends to increase investment in infrastructure construction in southern Yunnan. In addition to the Yunnan-Burma Expressway, Yunnan-Burma Railway and Yunnan-Burma Oil and Gas Pipeline, the Yunnan-Guangzhou Railway, Yikun Expressway, and the Yunnan-Old Expressway have officially entered the operation period. Moreover, I estimate that after the Prime Minister visited the Sanjiang area, he will require further investment in infrastructure in the border areas to be further increased, so you don't have to worry too much."
