Chapter 120: Present lesson

Zhang Yongpei's words were very harsh, but they were at the point.

Andu has always lacked a clear idea in the construction of the high-tech industry demonstration zone. There are some problems with the city’s ideas and opinions on this issue. If a leader is a slap in his head, it will be another idea. If another leader goes out and take a look, he will have a new idea. So, he will push it back and start over. This is also an idea every day to determine the leading development of the industry. No matter how good the planning and concept cannot be implemented, it will be useless.

In fact, when Zhao Guodong was still serving as the municipal party committee in Ningling, he had already noticed the stagnation of the Andu High-tech Industry Demonstration Zone. At that time, Luo Bing's brother Luo Rui was still the office director of the Andu High-tech Development Zone.

Although there was no exchange between Luo Rui and Zhao Guodong because of that special relationship between Zhao Guodong, when Luo Rui went to Tongcheng, Zhao Guodong still helped him. The two met twice and talked. Luo Rui also talked about the crux of the problem of Andu High-tech Development Zone. The key was that the city leaders' views were not unified. In addition, the leaders of the management committee of the High-tech Industrial Zone followed the leaders above and were unable to come up with what belonged to the High-tech Development Zone. This made Andu High-tech Development Zone lose its own characteristics and become mediocre.

After Guan Jingshan became mayor, the situation changed, but Guan Jingshan still focused more on the economic development of the entire city. Although he was also very concerned about the high-tech development zone, he was the main leader of the city and could not focus his main energy here, so he still did not improve much.

This situation changed slightly until Deputy Mayor Zhuo Ning served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Andu Municipal Party Committee, the Party Working Committee of the Andu High-tech Development Zone and the Director of the Management Committee. However, the good times did not last long. Zhuo Ning adjusted his work in less than half a year after serving in this position and served as the Qianzhou Municipal Party Committee. The Andu High-tech Development Zone was in confusion again.

"Yongpei, this is indeed a common problem in many high-tech development zones. They lack their own things and bloom everywhere. The result is that they lack characteristics and cannot form truly competitive industries. They eventually become second-rate products." Zhao Guodong sighed softly, "I think that Andu High-tech Development Zone was also a well-known brand. I didn't expect that after so many years, it was a declining river, which is regrettable."

"Director Zhao, the competition is fierce across the country, and the competition in development zones is particularly prominent. Whether it is attracting investment, establishing leading industries, and cultivating leading enterprises, these aspects are like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you relax a little, it means that you may be surpassed by your opponent. If you stand still, you will be left farther and farther away by others. The work in the development zones is not easy to do." Zhang Yongpei obviously has a relatively good understanding of the development situation of development zones in various places.

"But Andu High-tech Development Zone is different, it shouldn't be like this." Zhao Guodong said coldly: "This is a shame for Andu and even Anyuan."

Zhao Guodong's voice was a little high, and Zhang Yongpei's ears were also nervous. He quickly looked around, but fortunately no one noticed this place.

It seems that Zhao Guodong is actually aware of the situation in the Andu High-tech Development Zone. Thinking about it, he came from Anyuan. Don’t you know the situation in Andu? To be honest, the inspection this morning was indeed not optimistic. Although everyone has raised the tone very high, they smiled like a spring breeze on the surface, but I am afraid that Andu City will also know that the Development and Reform Commission and his rank are not very satisfied with Andu’s situation.

"Director Zhao, I think if you really want to exchange opinions, you might as well exchange opinions with individual leaders in Andu in private, which may be better." Zhang Yongpei was thinking about how to deal with this matter well.

"Well, Yongpei, I think so. You and Mayor Lifeng find an opportunity to talk about the opinions of our group and put forward some suggestions. Of course, the tone can be more tactful. Alas, this is enough face. Anyone who makes An Du is a sub-provincial city at least, and it is also An Yuan's face." Zhao Guodong sneered: "But I think if they don't say it hurts, I'm afraid they will rarely learn from the pain."

"Director Zhao, I think they are still aware of this problem. When I was discussing with their relevant leaders, they were also reviewing the experiences and lessons of the development of Andu High-tech Development Zone, and were also exploring how to determine the development path of Andu High-tech Development Zone. There is no need to be a heavy hammer for the drum. Let's click until we reach it. I believe they should be alert." Zhang Yongpei suggested.

"Well, then you think about your words and communicate in private. We won't say too much on the scene. To be honest, if I were the mayor of the municipal party committee, I would take the initiative to rude to the province to avoid being embarrassed." Zhao Guodong shook his head and said, "Let's go in, maybe people think we are talking a little, how can we arrange them behind the scenes?"

The afternoon inspection of Huluzhou Central Business District was not very satisfactory. Even Qi Hua noticed that the National Development and Reform Commission's NDRC had very little words during the inspection process, and more of it was a polite and coldness, which made Qi Hua and Guan Jingshan feel very embarrassed.

Huluzhou CBD is still quite considerable in terms of its area and size of buildings. Even if it cannot be compared with Beijing Chaoyang CBD or Hujiang Lujiazui CBD, it is definitely the first-class in the inland areas. The key is the inside. Just as Zhao Guodong said, he kept clamoring about CBD all day long, what is the essence of CBD, and what kind of purpose should CBD achieve to be called CBD? Is it just like this one called CBD?

This issue was raised at a small symposium of the Andu Municipal Government in the afternoon. Of course, the method he adopted was much more tactful, and it was raised in a preliminary way to explore the CBD function, so that outsiders could feel whether he was discussing the essential core role of the central business district with everyone. This method is much easier to accept.

When discussing the functions of the central business district, more people are discussing the functions of the central business district itself, such as accumulating the headquarters economy of large multinational enterprises and financial institutions, giving full play to the commercial functions of high-end retail enterprises, and boosting the development of service industry economies such as cultural industries and creative industries. However, everyone ignored the accumulation of these functions to drive the economy of the entire region, promoting and amplifying the effectiveness. On this point, Zhao Guodong expounded his views and ideas, which aroused deep thoughts from the participants.

Zhao Guodong proposed that the more important thing in building CBD is not the benefits generated by CBD itself, but the full play to the stimulus and amplification role of CBD on the entire regional economy, because this is much more important than the GDP generated by CBD itself.

Zhao Guodong's view aroused considerable response among the officials of the Andu Municipal Government, especially Zhao Guodong proposed that Huluzhou CBD should give full play to the core role of Andu City in the entire Anyuan Province and the central and western inland areas, combine with Andu City's dual-core strategy of building emerging industries and financial highlands, and strive to give full play to the accumulation effect of CBD in this regard, and take the unusual path, so that Andu City can take the development of the entire inland area with the help of the Huluzhou Central Business District, and drive the development of the entire Andu economy with the help of the Huluzhou Central Business District.

Zhao Guodong's idea was very forward-looking and shocking, and taught Guan Jingshan and Tan Lifeng a fierce lesson. Guan Jingshan and Tan Lifeng even felt that Zhao Guodong's view seemed to have a feeling of lighting up a bright light in the fog, allowing them to discover the hope of how Andu economy broke out from the heavy siege.

Tan Lifeng had to admit that there was still some gap between him and Zhao Guodong in some aspects. At least in terms of the development and conception of the Central Business District, he had to admit that his views were too poor and limited.

He felt that Guan Jingshan seemed to be like him, touched by Zhao Guodong's views, and even during dinner, he was not able to fully understand the vibration brought by the symposium in the afternoon. The thoughtful expression on his face was still vaguely visible.

"Lifeng, what do you think of the views Zhao Guodong put forward this afternoon?" After seeing off the guests, Guan Jingshan and Tan Lifeng walked back to the parking lot.

Tan Lifeng pondered for a moment. Although he didn't want to admit it, Guan Jingshan could take the initiative to mention it. Tan Lifeng didn't want to say it against his will. Besides, even if he blocked it against his will, he might not be able to stop Guan Jingshan's decision. "I have to say that it is very tempting and forward-looking. Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say that Zhao Guodong can see further and further on this issue than us, and our vision is still too narrow."
