Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Hearing Ji Fatang was about to speak, Tang Jingui looked over. What? Was this guy going to join Feng Sizhe? He had always been a neutral party before. He rarely spoke except when it came to his work. What was going on today? Did Feng Sizhe collude with him before? Or was he going to promise him some benefits at a meeting like this?

Tang Jingui thought a lot at this moment. Of course, he was dissatisfied with Ji Fatang's attitude of surrendering to Feng Sizhe. However, he was dissatisfied, but he couldn't stop it. Now he could only listen to what Mayor Ji said.

After getting Feng Sizhe's permission, Ji Fatang nodded and said, "Mayor, comrades present, our Zhuangcheng City, as the capital of Zhongzhou Province, has a unique geographical location, but in comparison, our development is indeed too slow. What is the reason? I think this is mainly because the comrades' horizons are not broad enough, and the pace of economic construction is not too forward, which is wrong. Now the country has been reforming and opening up for some years. All provinces, prefectures, cities, districts, counties, and even towns are using their various advantages to carry out economic construction. Then I think we can't fall behind. A while ago, the mayor drew up a plan for the development of Zhuangcheng City. I think it is completely feasible to use our unique geographical location of Zhuangcheng City, promote the various characteristics of our Zhuangcheng City, vigorously develop tourism, and attract investment with a good city appearance. I think it is completely feasible and I fully support it."

"Yes, I agree with the mayor's plan. Our Zhuangcheng City is an ancient city with many historical sites. At the same time, we have the most powerful land transportation in the country. As long as we develop, we can drive the development of some nearby cities. As long as we operate properly, we can become a star city in the Central Plains region of the country. As long as Zhuangcheng City has a reputation, it will have more advantages and help for attracting investment in our city." After Ji Fatang finished speaking, Deputy Mayor Hua Weimei also cooperated loudly, expressing her support for Feng Sizhe.

As the only female deputy mayor and the only deputy mayor who did not take sides, Hua Weimei received the due respect from Feng Sizhe. As soon as Feng Sizhe came to power, he assigned the domestic trade work to her, making the deputy mayor in charge of attracting investment more powerful. A while ago, he also assigned urban construction to Hua Weimei. It can be said that her power was approaching that of the Standing Committee. She was a deputy mayor of the Standing Committee and the first deputy mayor who was not on the Standing Committee. Since Feng Sizhe valued her so much, she should give something back in due time.

"Okay." After waiting for Ji Fatang and Hua Weimei to finish speaking, Feng Sizhe said okay directly. Then he looked at everyone and said excitedly, "Comrades, the country has been reforming and opening up for so many years. Under this great policy environment, all the brother provinces and cities are focusing on economic construction. As the capital city of Zhongzhou Province, we must not lag behind. As Comrade Ji Fatang and Comrade Hua Weimei said, we have transportation advantages, and how to use this geography to make us the first city in the Central Plains, a central city integrating economy, commerce, information, and industry, so as to achieve the goal of covering several nearby provinces. This is the main work we are talking about today. I have also seen before that the urban construction of Zhuangcheng is very general and the planning is not so orderly. If it is just a central city, it is barely enough, but if you want to be a provincial capital and the first city in the Central Plains, it is far from enough. So our main goal in the near future is to rebuild our Zhuangcheng. This is what I think. First, set up an urban construction planning committee, with me as the director and several other deputy mayors as deputy directors. Comrade Hua Weimei is now in charge of urban construction, so she will be the executive deputy director. Do you have any objections?"

Suddenly Feng Sizhe wanted to set up a city planning and construction committee, which made Tang Jingui and the others stunned. What did this mean? Wasn't this meeting to discuss the development direction of Zhuang City? Why did they set up a committee? City construction, did Feng Sizhe want to do something big in this regard?

Everyone had their own thoughts, but no one took the matter too seriously. After all, this was just a temporary organization and did not need to be expanded or staffed. So when Feng Sizhe proposed such an organization and suggested that Hua Weimei be the executive deputy director, no one had any thoughts on it.

Seeing that no one objected, Feng Sizhe continued, "Okay, then it's settled. Comrade Wei Mei, do you have any problem with this?"

"I have no problem. I'll listen to the mayor." Since Hua Weihua has decided to join Feng Sizhe's side, she will naturally listen to Feng Sizhe in everything. Besides, although there seems to be no need to establish this unit, she will not refuse the title of executive deputy director out of thin air. Who among the officials would complain that they have too much power?

"Well, let's discuss the work of the Urban Planning and Construction Committee. I think that the current layout of Zhuangcheng is still too small. As the provincial capital and the first city in the Central Plains, future development is inevitable. With the establishment of investment attraction and a famous tourist city, the number of people settling in Zhuangcheng will inevitably increase. In order to solve these problems, the first thing I want to do is to expand the urban area. In the past, our Zhuangcheng City was mainly based on Zhuangbei District and Wuju District. I think this is far from enough. We still need to expand. My opinion is to merge Anji District and Jiudong District. Does everyone have any opinions?"

As he was talking, Feng Sizhe brought out his goal. As soon as he said this, the audience started to discuss. If Anji District and Jiudong District were also incorporated into Zhuangcheng City, wouldn't that be equivalent to doubling the area of ​​Zhuangcheng City? This is a big project. How can the young mayor Feng Sizhe have the courage to say these words?

"Mayor Feng, Anji District and Jiudong District are no smaller in scale than our Zhuangbei District and Wuju District where the provincial government is located. Such a large-scale expansion requires strong financial support, but our city's finances are not rich at the moment, and there are even many places that need money." Tang Jingui poured a basin of cold water on Feng Sizhe at the right time. In his opinion, Feng Sizhe's idea was just wishful thinking. How much financial support would be needed to suddenly double the size of Zhuangcheng City? Of course, if it was done, Feng Sizhe would have many political achievements to gain, but it would not be so easy to accomplish.

"Well, Comrade Jingui's idea is right. Since it is economic construction, it is naturally inseparable from financial support. But don't worry about this for now. I believe everyone knows that I went to various ministries in Kyoto a while ago. What did I do there? I went there to get money. The comrades in the central government are indeed considerate of our grassroots cadres. After hearing my report on the work and development of Zhuangcheng City, they have received their strong support. The National Development and Reform Commission has put out 1 billion, and the Ministry of Transport has put out 1 billion, a total of 2 billion to support the development of our Zhuangcheng City. Of course, this money is far from enough, and the rest requires us here to find a way. In short, it is better to have something than nothing. Since the central government supports us like this, we must also go all out and make a show for everyone to see."

In an instant, a huge bomb was dropped from Feng Sizhe's mouth. Two billion funds were coming, and this was the first time Feng Sizhe clearly told everyone that everyone was stunned. No one knew who was the first to lead the applause, and suddenly there was thunderous applause in the conference room.

The city has money now, with an extra 2 billion yuan. Naturally, this is a good thing for everyone here. Everyone here is in charge of the city, or the heads of various departments. They all have considerable power. If there is strong financial support, it will undoubtedly be icing on the cake. Think about it, this is 2 billion yuan, as long as you can get a share of it, it will be unlimited benefits and advantages, who would not be excited.

Tang Jingui did not expect that Feng Sizhe would really come to Kyoto with 2 billion. Didn't Governor Tang want to hinder Feng Sizhe's actions before? Didn't he make the trip? Or is Feng Sizhe too capable? When he thought about what Feng Sizhe said just now about setting up an urban construction planning committee, Tang Jingui regretted it. If he had known this, he would have fought for the position of executive deputy director at the beginning. It can be imagined that although Feng Sizhe is the director, he is the mayor after all, and there are many things he needs to deal with. Relatively speaking, the executive deputy director is the most powerful cadre, and if he can get this position, it means that he has more financial power. In other words, if he has this power, more people will come to him. This is such a good opportunity to develop his own strength, but it's a pity that it was wasted like this. It's a pity.

Ji Fatang, Hua Weimei and others were also surprised along with Tang Jingui. They were surprised at Feng Sizhe's ability. He really got the money when he asked for it, and it was in full. Doesn't this just show how powerful Feng Sizhe is? You know, cadres like those in Zhuangcheng may be proud of themselves in Zhuangcheng, or even in Zhongzhou Province, but once they go to the central ministries, it is absolutely another matter. There, a director or even a section chief may make you unable to move an inch. Of course, Hua Weimei was the happiest. She had just been appointed as the executive deputy director of the committee. She didn't feel anything yet, just thinking that it was an extra title. But now it seems that she has picked up a sweet cake. It can be foreseen that as the executive deputy director, she will have a lot of power to allocate funds, which is a symbol of absolute power.
