Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1932 Conscience
"Thank you very much, Secretary Zhang!" Duan Yun said gratefully.

Duan Yun really did not expect that this conversation with Zhang Guoguang would be so easy. Even before Duan Yun fully expressed his thoughts, Zhang Guoguang had already stated that he would fully support him.

But this is also a very normal thing. After all, Tianyin Group's investment in Shenyang is indeed very large. It can also be said that it has invested the most in Shenyang, including foreign-funded enterprises, in the past ten years of reform and opening up.

Moreover, judging from the current development of Jinbei Automobile and Tianyin Group's new enterprises in Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone, it is very rapid, and it has played an increasingly important role in the city's economy and people's livelihood. It is not only paying taxes, but also returning to Shenyang. More and more jobs are provided, which to a certain extent alleviates the huge pressure on Shenyang's current employment. For this alone, it is normal for the SY city government to give Duan Yun some "partial food".

"But I also have a condition." Zhang Guoguang suddenly said to Duan Yun.

"What conditions?" Duan Yun asked.

"I don't know much about the automobile industry. You know, I'm a political worker." Zhang Guoguang glanced at Duan Yun, and then said: "But I am very concerned about the taxation, people's livelihood and employment issues in our city of Sy. In any case, our Shenyang has been the largest industrial city in the three northeastern provinces and even the whole country since before liberation, and I don't want to see this kind of city decline during my term of office..."

"No, until now, Shenyang is still the largest industrial city in China, and this has not changed." Duan Yun said hastily.

"There is no change now, but it doesn't mean it won't change in the future." Zhang Guoguang's tone was a little emotional, and he continued: "In the 80s, Shenyang was very strong in all aspects, with a large population and a relatively large number of industries. It is complete, and it can be said to be the strongest in the country in various key fields, but the situation has changed in recent years. The country is playing a big game. The southern coastal cities are developing very fast now, and the country has also started to use the resources belonging to our three eastern provinces. It's not a good thing to lean towards the southern coastal cities..."

Zhang Guoguang's words obviously contained a bit of worry, because the form of the country's development in the past few years has indeed given him and most cities a deep sense of crisis.

Before the 90s, the three northeastern provinces were undoubtedly the industrial center of the country. They had the most types of industrial enterprises with the most advanced technology in the country, as well as the largest and most developed railway network in the country. Moreover, before the reform and opening up, the three northeastern provinces have always enjoyed national resources. Inclination, whether it is funds, policies or other aspects, can enjoy more favorable resources than other regions.

Even though several special economic zones were established along the coast at that time, in fact, throughout the 80s, whether it was Shenzhen, Zhuhai or Hainan, they were far behind the three northeastern provinces in terms of industrial output value, taxation, and infrastructure construction. It is the most famous Shenzhen. Compared with the four largest cities in Northeast China, there is still a big gap.

But since the 90s, this situation has changed a lot, and what worries Zhang Guoguang the most is that after more than ten years of reform and opening up, the former aura of the three eastern provinces has begun to fade, replaced by the prelude to the development of coastal cities , and from a national point of view, the resources and policies they give to coastal cities are even more generous than those of the three northeastern provinces, which undoubtedly exacerbated Zhang Guoguang's worries.

In addition, Zhang Guoguang has also traveled to southern cities for many times to participate in conferences and inspections in recent years, and he was deeply shocked by the development of Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. Whether it is urban infrastructure construction, or high-tech, foreign-funded enterprises Compared with the impression he left when he went to these cities in the 80s, it can be said that earth-shaking changes have taken place. Compared with Shenyang, or even the entire three eastern provinces, although the reform and opening up have achieved good development in the past ten years , but generally speaking, it still looks dull, far from the development and vitality of today's coastal cities.

And even if it is not compared with the coastal cities, among the four major cities in the three northeastern provinces, Shenyang used to be the largest and most developed city in the Northeast. Dalian and Changchun have surpassed Shenyang in annual maximum GDP growth, and even Harbin, which has been ranked last among the four major cities in the three northeastern provinces, has also begun to narrow the gap with Shenyang.

Zhang Guoguang has been a senior city official in Shenyang for more than ten years. It can be said that his personal prestige and honor have already been firmly tied to the football city. He does not want to see the city gradually decline, at least not before retiring. Shenyang The city declined under his watch.

"Secretary Zhang, the country is indeed vigorously developing coastal cities at present, but I feel that our side in Shenyang still has a great advantage." Duan Yun seemed to be a little bit touched, and he continued: "We have a lot of advantages in Shenyang. Heavy industry enterprises have a large number of technical talents, and many generations of families have been engaged in technical work. This kind of strong strength and heritage is not comparable to other cities..."

"I know what you said, but in recent years, many state-owned enterprises in Shenyang have begun to suffer serious losses, which has also caused our financial situation in Shenyang to become more and more tight..." Zhang Guoguang frowned slightly at this time , I just heard him go on to say: "When Lao Wu was here, he was the first leading cadre in our country to implement the enterprise contracting system. Nowadays, this method doesn’t seem to work anymore. There are many reasons for this. Some enterprises are simply hopeless, and some contractors themselves have bad intentions. There are certain problems..."

When Zhang Guoguang said this, a trace of regret flashed across his face.

"Then what do you mean?" Duan Yun seemed to hear the meaning of Zhang Guoguang's words.

"Xiao Duan, I think you are a very capable person, and you are also very upright. In a government department like ours, it is normal for people to go out of their way. No matter how high you were in this unit or how popular you were People respect you, but once you leave this position, you will soon be forgotten by everyone." Zhang Guoguang paused, and then said: "But as the boss of a private enterprise, although you have not been in contact with Lao Wu for a long time, you actually I would think of helping their family to deal with the aftermath. This includes many leaders in our municipal committee. I can’t sit there. Including this donation, many people are not very happy in private. They think that the state should allocate funds to solve Lao Wu’s family problems. I am also true. feel chilled..."
