Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

What happened between Qiandong Group and Tianhe Municipal Committee afterwards is unknown to outsiders.

In the following days, Qiandong Group also carried out intensive research and investigation in batches in Xinjiang Province and cities, following the inspection process, and held meetings every night.

A week passed quickly.

On the eve of the delegation's return trip after concluding its province-wide research, Chairman Liu formally submitted the company's final layout proposal to the Xinjiang Provincial Party Committee.

Contrary to external expectations of a choice between two options or a one-city approach, Qiandong Group, combining its national strategy, the industrial layout of Xinjiang province, and the strengths and weaknesses of both locations, has come up with a layout strategy of one headquarters, multiple sectors, and comprehensive network implementation.

On that day, the Provincial Party Committee convened a special industry symposium, chaired by Chu Shijun. Zhao Zhi, Li Jiageng, and leaders from various cities attended the meeting, along with the heads of provincial departments such as the Development and Reform Commission, Commerce Bureau, Transportation Bureau, and Natural Resources Bureau. The meeting focused on finalizing the Qiandong Group's project in Baijiang.

"Secretary Chu, Governor Zhao, and other leaders, after conducting a comprehensive on-site investigation, we believe that Baijiang's industrial support achievements, domestic and international circulation needs, and county-level production capacity are fully capable of supporting a provincial-level, all-area logistics network system."

"Among them, Zhencheng is advantageous in terms of strategic fit, policy focus, service loop, and pure gateway location, which perfectly meets our long-term needs for establishing a logistics headquarters that coordinates the entire Baijiang region. It is suitable to serve as the province's general hub, general dispatch, and general operation center."

"Tianhe City's advantages lie in its status as a provincial capital hub city, its commercial and trade volume, and its concentration of talent, making it suitable for undertaking high-end supporting sectors such as cross-border logistics."

"At the same time, in conjunction with the province's industrial layout of counterpart assistance to other regions, some cities and counties with concentrated production capacity and abundant resources also have the conditions to establish warehousing and transit centers and production distribution centers."

Liu Dong reported to the leadership.

After listening to the report, Chu Shijun was extremely satisfied.

He had always disliked the vicious infighting and competition among cities within the province, and Li Dakang was summoned and criticized by him that day.

In his view, cities need to complement each other's strengths, develop in a differentiated manner, and give full play to their strengths in order to go far.

Qiandong Group's tiered implementation plan perfectly aligns with his province-wide integrated governance approach.

Having already discussed this with everyone, Chu Shijun made the decision directly:

"By adopting the layout plan of Qiandong Group, we in Baijiang will not pursue the idea of ​​winning in one city alone, but will implement the project implementation strategy of establishing headquarters in Zhencheng, establishing sectors in multiple cities, and building a logistics network throughout the province."

"First, official approval has been granted: Qiandong Group's Baijiang Regional Logistics Headquarters and Provincial Supply Chain Dispatch Center will be permanently located in Zhencheng City, serving as the central hub and platform for the logistics industry, coordinating the sales of products from across the province and supporting related industries..."

"Comrades, does anyone have any differing opinions?"

Chu Shijun asked, his gaze lingering on the smug Li Dakang and the silent Xu Nuojun.

"Okay, then it's approved."

"In this project competition, the process is more important than the result."

"The result is a good result, but I must give a serious review of the process."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people looked at Li Dakang and Xu Nuojun.

These two have been running around doing projects these past few days, they've been incredibly busy.

Wherever they go to conduct research, they call to ask questions and gather intelligence.

Trying to steal your subordinate's project? You're going to get yelled at, aren't you?

"During this period, Tianhe and Zhencheng engaged in excessive benchmarking and infighting in their competition for the Qiandong Group project, even resorting to escalating policy competitions and squeezing each other's space point by point."

Chu Shijun's gaze swept over Xu Nuojun and Li Dakang.

"Comrade Nuojun, as the top leader of the provincial capital, you have the best resources in the province. You should be taking the lead in overall planning for the province and actively promoting coordinated development among cities and prefectures. Instead, you have taken the lead in engaging in infighting, competing with other grassroots cities and prefectures on policies, land plots, and benefits, which has lowered the status of the provincial capital and distorted the competitive atmosphere between cities and counties."

"It is important to remember that the core responsibility of a provincial capital is to improve quality and efficiency, lead other cities, radiate to other cities, and empower other cities, rather than competing with the people for profits, grabbing projects and incremental growth from other cities, or relying solely on its inherent advantages to squeeze the development space of lower-level cities. This is a typical example of narrow-mindedness and localism."

Exactly, exactly. What's the difference between you and them, who are habitual addicts?

The underlings silently echoed this sentiment.

"Secretary Chu, I apologize."

Xu Nuojun lowered her head, remained silent, and accepted the criticism calmly.

He didn't have much to say; he hadn't received the bulk of the project yet, so he might as well say what he wanted to say.

Immediately, Chu Shijun's gaze shifted to Li Dakang.

"Comrade Dakang, you have always been pragmatic, hardworking, and decisive, with strong execution capabilities. These are your strengths and are recognized by the team. However, in this competition, you were too eager to succeed. In order to win the project, you benchmarked the provincial capital throughout the process, even engaging in close competition. You went to Tianhe to make grand pronouncements, disregarding the overall strategic plan of the province and focusing solely on the gains and losses of Zhencheng."

"We can completely understand Zhencheng's desire for breakthroughs and industrial development, but it cannot come at the cost of disrupting the overall provincial development plan and creating antagonism between cities and counties. Focusing solely on Zhencheng's own development while disregarding the coordinated development of the entire province is another manifestation of localism."

"Secretary Chu, I apologize."

Li Dakang nodded in apology. Anyway, the project was secured, so he could scold him however he wanted.

"What are you two reflecting on?"

Chu Shijun's gaze sharpened. "How many times have I told you? Every time I get criticized, I'm the one who has to write a self-criticism. And then what? Will I dare to write another self-criticism next time?"

"Playing nonsense!"

"I want to emphasize again that the development of Xinjiang must not be subject to vicious infighting or regional friction."

"The competition among cities is about the business environment, pragmatic work style, and industrial suitability, not about who provides the most favorable policies, who engages in the fiercest competition, or who grabs projects the most aggressively."

"The other comrades present also listened and took notes. If similar problems occur again in the future, the Provincial Party Committee will hold those responsible accountable and criticize them without any leniency."

"Understood."

……

After the symposium, the project was officially finalized, and Zhencheng, Tianhe, and other relevant cities signed letters of intent with Qiandong Group, pending final implementation.

The happiest person was Liu Dong.

This trip has been very fruitful.

A logistics headquarters and multiple branch offices have all been established, which is very beneficial to the company's development.

Especially since they've latched onto Tai... it sends a signal.

It is conceivable that this will reduce many troubles for the company's future development.

Aside from him, Li Dakang and the relevant cities and prefectures were the only ones who were happy.

Zhencheng secured a major project, adding a remarkable achievement to its political record. With this, Lao Li can attract more projects, revitalizing both upstream and downstream industries. This year, it might officially surpass Tianhe to become the number one in Baijiang.

Other cities and prefectures have also been granted sub-sectors, though not many, but they can all benefit from this network in the long run.

In contrast, Tianhe was unhappy.

Although they secured the most important sub-segment, they were undoubtedly inferior to Zhencheng.
