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

The Provincial Party Committee Building.

Feng Guangshan, secretary of the Donghu District Committee of Jiangdong City, sat facing Sha Ruijin, trembling uncontrollably.

You can't be afraid!

Yesterday, five people came together and were fine, but two of them were taken down on stage. Later, I heard that Qian Laizhi, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, also fell from power, and the situation of the mayor of Minzhong District is unknown.

I wonder how things are back home.

He was really scared!

I'm terrified that I might suddenly become the next one.

"Comrade Guangshan, don't be nervous."

"Have some tea first."

"Try some of my food, see if it suits your taste."

Sha Ruijin smiled reassuringly, his eyes filled with kindness. Firstly, Feng Guangshan was the one he really wanted to invite; secondly, he had few and minor problems, was quite capable, and his family was sensible and didn't cause trouble, making him stand out among the cadres in Jiangdong City.

This reminded him of a name that was unfamiliar but remained deeply etched in his memory: Sun Liancheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Jingzhou Municipal Committee, Secretary of the Guangming District Committee, and Chief Commander of the Guangming Peak Project.

He remembered it because Lin Zhiyuan had mentioned his name at the first Standing Committee meeting after his arrival.

A survey was conducted.

I found Sun Liancheng to be a very interesting cadre. He was clean, had a good mass base, and didn't show off in ordinary times, but he could step up and take on important responsibilities at critical moments.

Feng Guangshan, standing before us, bears a striking resemblance to Sun Liancheng.

If Lin Zhiyuan could find a Sun Liancheng, why can't he develop a second one with his rat poison?

He refused to believe it; Handong was full of scoundrels like Yi Xuexi who not only tricked him but also dragged Ya Ya into it.

It was also the direct trigger for the breakdown of his alliance with Tian Guofu and their parting ways.

It's unbearable to repair!

"Secretary Sha, are you looking to learn about the situation at the East Lake Chemical Industrial Park?"

Feng Guangshan carefully observed the other person's expression, and finding it to be genuine, he boldly asked a question.

After all, in terms of GDP growth...

Jiangdong is the thirteenth sister of Handong, and Donghu District is the youngest sister of Jiangdong. Its only advantage is that it is the only chemical industrial park in the city, and its secondary industry accounts for the largest proportion.

"No rush!"

Sha Ruijin waved his hand, "We are waiting for a guest to come."

The voice just fell.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Secretary Ruijin, you wanted to see me?"

Lin Zhiyuan pushed open the door and entered, and apart from the use of the formal "you," there was not a trace of politeness in his voice.

"Governor Zhiyuan, please have a seat!"

Sha Ruijin's lips twitched. Damn it, Lin Zhiyuan, can't you learn to save face for the class monitor?

never mind!

He decided to hold back for now.

"Executive Director Lin!"

Feng Guangshan hurriedly got up to greet him, his head almost buried in his chest, his body trembling slightly. He was already afraid, but he was even more frightened.

In this area, everyone knows that the Executive Vice Governor is the number one killer in Handong!

Wherever they went, bloodshed and carnage followed; their battle record is well-documented.

The Chuzhou case! The platform case! The attack case!

The knife rises and falls!

One group of officials after another was punished.

If he is guilty, let the court try him; don't use a weapon as destructive as Executive Director Lin.

He's frail and can't withstand it.

"Governor Zhiyuan, we invited you here today to hear your views on the redevelopment of Jiangdong as an economic planner."

"There is chaos in Jiangdong right now, but development is always the only hard truth. The provincial party committee's actions this time are also aimed at clearing out a fertile field that can be cultivated."

"I hope Governor Zhiyuan won't be stingy?"

Sha Ruijin smiled broadly, his face showing a humble desire to learn.

Hehehe!

No matter how arrogant you are, Lin Zhiyuan, as long as I, as the class monitor, seriously consult you on your development plan, you'll still have to work diligently and contribute all the plans in your head!

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at the other party in surprise. "Dear Germ Rat Agent, has it become smarter? In the past, when there was turmoil, it transferred Gao Plant to Jiangdong to oversee the situation and prevent a series of bad situations from happening. Now it has pulled him into the second phase of development in Jiangdong."

But for some reason...

He always felt that the other person was utterly stupid.

"Hi hi!"

Sha Ruijin seemed to notice his strange look, coughed a few times, and turned to look at Feng Guangshan. "Comrade Guangshan is in charge of the Donghu Industrial Park. If there is anything you need to know, the three of us can have a detailed discussion."

Jiangdong was the first project he handled. He prioritized stability over scale, but he had to admit that Jiangdong's foundation was too weak. If he had planned to invest heavily in the project, it would have only made a splash.

and so…

He decided to ask his competitors for help, just in time to test Lin Zhiyuan's abilities. It's not a skill to make an excellent city even better; the real skill is to quickly bring a backward city up to the top.

If he succeeds, he'll get a top-notch plan for free; if he fails, he'll damage Lin Zhiyuan's prestige and diminish the value of his title as a top economic planner.

You won't lose out either way!

Sha Ruijin's lips curled into a smug smile. As expected of him, he could easily handle Lin Zhiyuan by setting aside the original structure of Handong and not letting the Zhao family distract him.

"good!"

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the other person with the same gaze one would give a landlord's foolish son, trying his best not to laugh. "Since Secretary Ruijin trusts me so much, then I'll share my views on the development of Jiangdong."

please!

Sha Ruijin immediately picked up a pen and opened his notebook, listening more attentively than the students in the classroom. This is called strategically despising the enemy while tactically taking them seriously.

"Jiangdong, as the youngest in Handong, has long lagged behind in development within the province. At first glance, the root cause is its historical starting point and geographical and water-related issues, but in reality, the unreasonable industrial structure is the cage that has trapped its development."

Lin Zhiyuan spoke eloquently, "There are four reasons for this detailed analysis."

"Firstly, the city's planning has inherent flaws. It is located in the southwest and far from the core economic districts and counties, resulting in weak administrative radiation, poor industrial driving force, and lagging behind in the city's integration process."

"Secondly, the industry is mainly labor-intensive. The city government adopts a 4+4 model, which means using the four existing pillar industries of food and beverage, textiles and apparel, furniture manufacturing, and electromechanical equipment as a foundation, and cultivating four emerging industries: green building materials, smart home, functional materials, and smart grid. The plan is stable but lacks momentum, and future development is clearly visible."

Thirdly, there is a fatal weakness in science and education talent, namely a lack of high-level educational foundations and a cradle for talent cultivation.

Fourth, the red line for agricultural arable land protection.

As Sha Ruijin quickly took notes, he nodded. This was the biggest limitation that Jiangdong wanted to develop. Jiangdong was established too late, and being late meant being late in every step. There were not many industries that could be developed to begin with, and it could not compete with its sister cities that had already planned their strategies. The difficulty was no less than trying to survive in the cracks.

therefore…

Even if Sha Ruijin has many good projects in hand, he cannot rashly invest in them. That would not be construction, but rather the distribution of resources, which would be bad from the perspective of provincial-level coordination.

Especially the last one.

This is an inviolable bottom line.

"If a mountain is blocking the entrance and can't be moved, then let's turn the mountain into part of Jiangdong, or even make it the foundation for Jiangdong's development."

Lin Zhiyuan said calmly.
