In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

With Lin Zhiyuan's five guiding principles widely publicized, every enterprise in Chuzhou with some strength has put in its best efforts to develop in related fields.

Some things can't be touched in a short time, so let's leave them alone and focus on Chuzhou's original four economic pillars:

The already thriving salt chemical new materials industry has ushered in its heyday ahead of schedule, with a large number of investors bringing in huge sums of money to seek shares and cooperation.

Upstream PCB substrate factories, whether wholly owned or by seeking out industry leaders, are pulling them to establish new branch factories in Chuzhou, equipped with the latest generation of equipment.

New energy-related component companies, especially leading companies in the BMS field, have been operating at a loss for many years, but this wave of companies is willing to fill the gap.

Health food and beverage companies have established new brands to produce high-end nutritional products, and central kitchen factories are joining forces with chain brands in full swing.

Few large pharmaceutical companies in Chuzhou have scaled back their new drug research and development efforts, instead focusing on cultivating biopharmaceutical intermediate raw materials.

Chuzhou is eager to take over the contract manufacturing of the science and technology innovation hub.

Cheng Jingtao was dumbfounded. The municipal government had not issued any administrative orders, but the market, driven by profit, had perfectly executed the results they wanted.

Although there were some chaotic moments and duplication of resources during the process, the merits outweighed the flaws.

"Executive Director Lin, this..."

Cheng Jingtao, like a devoted fan, watched Lin Zhiyuan working at his desk. For the first time, he witnessed firsthand the masterful combination of the "invisible hand" and the "visible hand."

"Where there is profit, one will not hesitate to climb even the highest mountain; one will not fail to enter the deepest source."

Lin Zhiyuan looked up and said, "You come from the organization department, so you should know better than anyone that there are all kinds of people in the world, and that only interests are the common goal they pursue."

"But we are the government."

"We should allow them to legally pursue profits within our framework, which will save us a lot of energy and allow us to use our limited resources on things that are worth pursuing."

Lin Zhiyuan pushed over a document marked with five trillion-level cultivation clusters. "Chu Steel is the only company in Chuzhou with the qualifications to be involved in the special steel industry, but precisely because it lacks competitors, its ability to act is not strong. We need to suppress it."

"There are technical challenges in extending downstream applications of PCBs, and research institutions need to accelerate this process; the same applies to battery-related technologies."

"The transportation hub economy, as you know, requires the municipal government to take absolute lead. It should use state-owned enterprises as platforms to quickly aggregate factory-owned wharves and small private logistics wharves to create an integrated multimodal transport industry support system."

"And data centers..."

Lin Zhiyuan paused slightly, his brows furrowing, "This is an area you need to focus on, and you should even stop some projects in time."

"There are a large number of projects in Chuzhou that are ahead of their time, and the previous leadership team had a problem with approving too many projects indiscriminately."

"The actual utilization efficiency is extremely low, yet new projects are still being launched one after another."

"Stopping new projects is of utmost urgency."

"We also need to do a good job in internal expansion and external outreach."

"Internally, we must expedite the cloud migration and intelligent transformation of all factories in Chuzhou, while simultaneously filling in the gaps in government resources for supporting projects."

"We are halting new projects now, not to cut off our own advantages. The development of data centers cannot be separated from the provincial direct backbone broadband links. I will push the provincial government to accelerate the infrastructure transformation in Hanbei. At the same time, we are rejecting low-quality projects."

"Chuzhou alone cannot support a nationally leading project worth hundreds of billions of yuan. To serve the entire province and even surrounding provinces, the basic configuration of the project must be advanced and based on the forefront of modern development."

"I have also looked at the current information. The core service area is limited to within 150 kilometers. In order to survive and prepare for future development, we must include the related businesses of our brothers in Liancheng and Hanbei."

"Data centers are major consumers of water and electricity, so we need to pay attention to environmental protection."

Lin Zhiyuan's tone when he said these words was undeniably heavy.

"I understand, Executive Director Lin."

Cheng Jingtao solemnly promised, "If I mess up things in Chuzhou, I will offer my head in retribution."

"He's the mayor of a city, yet he speaks so rudely."

Lin Zhiyuan reprimanded.

However, he greatly admired Cheng Jingtao's willingness to make such a solemn promise.

"Executive Director Lin, are you going back to the provincial capital?"

Cheng Jingtao suddenly asked.

Lin Zhiyuan nodded without denying it. "After more than ten days of sorting things out, the situation in Chuzhou has basically stabilized. From now on, it will be up to you and Comrade Haiping to steer the ship."

"Executive Director Lin, I can't bear to part with you."

Cheng Jingtao's voice trembled slightly with tears, but he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

He was truly reluctant to part with it.

There's so much to learn from Lin Zhiyuan; the gains in just over half a month are more than he's learned in his more than ten years of work.

Most importantly, it was practical, effectively subduing the existing officials of the municipal government.

Lin Zhiyuan's lips twitched.

A tough guy shedding tears, especially a dark-skinned tough guy, is just too much to bear.

"What you learn from books is never enough; you should really learn it through real school."

Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand, "I'll go check on Secretary Tian and see how his progress is."

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Tian Guofu pushed open the office door with practiced ease, a genuine smile on his face.

"Secretary Guofu, has the mission been successfully completed?"

Lin Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

"We will use strict, swift, and legal means to thoroughly clean up all corrupt officials and those who have gone into hiding."

"Speaking of which, I must commend the high quality of the cadres that Minister Chunlin coordinated this time."

"Especially the cadres in the procuratorate system and the discipline inspection system, each of them is a veteran. From the city to the county, they have uncovered even some of the less-known corners that I, an old discipline inspection officer, had not discovered."

"This is truly gratifying."

"You could say that. I wouldn't dare say it's 100% clean, but it's definitely completely clean."

Tian Guofu is now full of vigor and high spirits, genuinely dedicated to eliminating corruption and fully demonstrating the demeanor expected of a provincial discipline inspection commission secretary.

Unlike before.

It's more about compromise, struggle, and gaining profit.

Although he was doing things, he exuded an aura of venom.

But Tian Guofu was destined to remain upright for only three seconds; he quickly signaled to Cheng Jingtao with a subtle glance that he should go out first.

"Director Lin, have you received the news?"

Tian Guofu's tone revealed an barely suppressed schadenfreude, "I heard that the higher-ups are very dissatisfied with the Handong judiciary because of the Chuzhou incident, believing that Secretary Yuliang doesn't have the extra energy to take care of the overall work of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and are planning to release the concurrently serving Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission separately?"

Lin Zhiyuan was completely unaware of this news; Old Man Yan had been busy scolding him on the phone.

"Is that a member of the Standing Committee concurrently holding the position, or is it a separate appointment?"

Lin Zhiyuan asked curiously.

"It's still unclear? That's all the information we have."

Tian Guofu has a habit of interrupting people's emotions.

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head, wondering which unlucky soul would end up in this mess.
