King of Industry

Chapter 978 – An Honor And An Opportunity!

Chapter 978 An honor, but also an opportunity!

In the lounge, Zhao Guoyang chatted with Leader Zhang and Mayor Hu for a while, and a staff member came in to remind him that the conference room was about to start.

After hearing the reminder from the people below, Zhang Genxi, who was still not satisfied, could only stub out the cigarette butt, and said helplessly to Hu Jianqiu: “Mayor Jianqiu, the time is up, we can only go back and listen to Researcher Zhao’s high-level speech.”

When Hu Jianqiu saw that Leader Zhang attached so much importance to Zhao Guoyang, he was secretly delighted.

You know, when Zhao Guoyang didn’t come just now, he boasted about him for a long time.

Leader Zhang was a little dubious at the beginning, but now he has completely believed his own words.

Speaking of which, this Researcher Zhao is not only inexperienced in industrial technology, but also has so many ideas on local industrial development, which even Hu Jianqiu himself did not think of.

Regarding the conversation he had just had with the two leaders, Zhao Guoyang did not show any complacency.

In fact, the industrial foundation of Xijing City has always been very deep.

The reason why we have encountered some difficulties over the years is that the management thinking has fallen behind others.

In Zhao Guoyang’s view, it is not very difficult to reorganize Xijing’s industrial industry and make a systematic deployment to restore its previous position as the number one industrial city in China.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang couldn’t express all the thoughts in his heart in this short period of more than ten minutes, he just started.

But it was the beginning that made Zhang Genxi very satisfied.

It can be seen that this leader Zhang still attaches great importance to the industrial development in the province.

Following the two leaders to the large meeting room of the provincial government, it was already dark and full of people.

When Zhao Guoyang was worried that he could not find a seat in the audience, Leader Zhang turned his head to look at him.

“Researcher Zhao, don’t look, your place is beside me. Come, this way please!”

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang was a little confused at the time.

It’s not that he doesn’t have confidence in himself, but that things are a bit too abrupt.

After all, he originally wanted to come, and he was invited by Mayor Hu to come here today, so his seat should have been arranged by Mayor Hu early on, and he should sit in the first few rows below.

But now, Leader Zhang wants to sit on the rostrum by himself, which is completely beyond Zhao Guoyang’s expectation.

However, Zhao Guoyang’s mental capacity is still very strong.

In an instant, the mood has calmed down.

Looking at Deputy Leader Zhang who was staring at him, he nodded with a “huh”.

Seeing this, Hu Jianqiu on the side couldn’t help applauding Zhao Guoyang’s atmosphere.

When Zhao Guoyang walked up to the front desk, he realized that the rostrum of the meeting had been arranged long ago, and his name was impressively written on it.

It can be seen that Leader Zhang and Mayor Hu did not arrange themselves on the rostrum for temporary reasons, but had already reached a conclusion.

There are a total of five people on the rostrum today. In addition to Zhao Guoyang and the other three who arrived last, there are two provincial leaders from Qinxi Province.

They are Du Xiaoyong, the deputy leader in charge of industry, and Hao Aimin, the secretary-general of the provincial government.

Deputy Leader Du and Secretary-General Hao sat on both sides of the seat, and the three seats in the middle were naturally reserved for Zhao Guoyang and the three of them.

Leader Zhang sat in the middle, and then extended his hand to Zhao Guoyang and made a “please” gesture, naturally inviting him to take a seat.

Seeing that Mayor Hu was also seated on the other side, Zhao Guoyang sat down.

After the meeting started, the host, Secretary-General Hao Aimin, made a few opening remarks, and then invited Leader Zhang to give a speech.

Zhang Genxi’s first sentence shocked people: “Comrades, first of all, I would like to inform you of a piece of good news… It is a great honor for us to invite a special researcher from the “Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry” for this provincial industrial seminar today. ‘Mr. Zhao Guoyang.”

“Speaking of which, everyone here should have heard of Researcher Zhao’s name. He is the deputy leader of Huaxia’s “High-speed Railway Project Leading Group” and the main person in charge of the project!”

“At the same time, he is also a very successful private entrepreneur. Researcher Zhao’s ‘Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company’, ‘SMS Construction Machinery Group Company’, and ‘Rongguang Co., Ltd.’ have achieved brilliant results in recent years… “

After a short pause, Leader Zhang continued: “It is no exaggeration to say that it is an honor and an opportunity for Qinxi Province to invite Researcher Zhao to our meeting today!”

“Let us welcome Researcher Zhao with warm applause!”

Leader Zhang’s opening remarks are really surprising.

After hearing these words, all the participants in the audience started whispering.

Even Deputy Leader Du and Secretary-General Hao, who had learned in advance that Zhao Guoyang would appear, were speechless.

Indeed, no one expected that Leader Zhang would attach so much importance to this young man.

Even if the other party is a well-known private entrepreneur in the country, the three companies under his command are not ranked among the top 100 in China in terms of total assets, right?

Such a young man can teach the industrial development of Qinxi Province?

Leader Zhang’s move is too childish, right?

Of course, doubts are doubts, and applause should still be applauded.

There was a burst of sparse applause, which sounded somewhat harsh.

Leader Zhang’s face darkened, and he was about to speak out to reprimand him, but he saw Zhao Guoyang sitting next to him, who didn’t seem to be affected at all.

Seeing his extremely calm expression, Zhang Genxi was taken aback for a moment.

After thinking about it for a while, the leader finally didn’t have a seizure, and continued to speak.

“Comrades may all know that in recent years, with the slowdown of the total demand of the social and economic market, the industrial economy of our Qinxi Province is facing very serious problems.”

“According to the data of our provincial government last year, the industrial output value of Qinxi Province last year only increased by 2% compared to last year, far below the national average.”

“Not only that, the industrial structure of our province is also facing a series of problems such as incomplete industrial chain, fierce homogeneous competition, and urgent need to integrate industrial resources.”

“Under such circumstances, how to reorganize the industrial economy of our Qinxi Province and catch up with the rapid development of the domestic brother provinces is very important!”

Speaking of this, Zhang Genxi set his sights on Hu Jianqiu.

“Everyone here knows that Xijing City is the pillar of our Qinxi Province’s industrial economy. No matter in terms of the total amount of industrial economic contribution or the quality, Xijing City is the top priority of our Qinxi Province’s industrial development. Heavy.”

“Next, let’s invite Comrade Hu Jianqiu, Mayor of Xijing City, to talk about the development of Xijing City’s industry in recent years and the outlook for the future!”

After Zhang Genxi finished speaking, there was naturally a burst of warm applause in the field.

Compared to Zhao Guoyang, an outsider, everyone undoubtedly supports Xijing Mayor Hu Jianqiu from the bottom of their hearts.

Speaking of it, Hu Jianqiu, the mayor of Xijing City, is at the same level as the deputy leader of the province.

But his importance is higher than many deputy leaders in the province.

This point can be seen from the seats in today’s meeting.

Xijing City is the only one in West Qin Province, and it is most vividly reflected in the industry.

At today’s meeting, except for the leaders in charge of industry in the province and several other prefecture-level cities, most of the rest are closely related to Xijing City.

Either the industrial leaders of the Xijing Municipal Government, or the leaders of some state-owned enterprises in Xijing City.

Under such circumstances, everyone naturally spared no effort in supporting Mayor Hu Jianqiu.

After the applause, Hu Jianqiu seriously read out the manuscript he had prepared a long time ago.

”…Industry has always been an important part of the national economy. Looking back at the development of Xijing’s industrial economy in recent years, it should be said that it is remarkable.”

”Under the leadership of the provincial government’s various reform policies, our Xijing City has taken a path of steady progress with marketization and modernization as the direction.”

“As of the end of last year, the industrial scale of our Xijing City has increased by 20 times compared to when the country was founded. It can be said that the industrial strength is constantly increasing…”

Listening to Mayor Hu’s narration, the participating cadres in the audience nodded in agreement.

Indeed, since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Xijing City has seized the opportunity of industrial economic development and vigorously promoted various reforms in the industrial field. No small achievement.

As Mayor Hu said, the industrial development achievements of Xijing City are something to be proud of.

Its leading position in the province and even the whole country cannot be ignored.

However, with the spring breeze of reform and opening up blowing across the land of China, the development of Xijing City has gradually encountered a bottleneck.

First of all, the strength of various industrial cities along the southeast coast directly caused a great impact on the inherent industrial system of Xijing City.

The machinery industry in Jiangnan Province, the mold industry in Eastern Zhejiang Province, and the auto parts industry in Southern Guangdong Province were originally the strong points of Xijing City.

However, after the separate efforts of these provinces, Xijing City suddenly discovered that the advantages it had established in the past few decades were really nothing.

It took only six or seven years for several important industrial cities on the southeast coast to establish their own complete industrial system, which directly challenged Xijing City.

Under such an impact, the title of Xijing City, the number one industrial city in the country, is a bit shaky.

Secondly, after the reform and opening up, the country has relaxed the entry threshold for foreign-funded enterprises.

The presence of some heavyweight and top foreign-funded enterprises in the industry has dealt a blow to Xijing’s industrial economy.

In addition to these two points, Xijing City needs to support too many industrial enterprises and cannot grasp the key points. This also affects the decision-making of Qinxi Provincial Government and Xijing Municipal Government.

When everyone is in a difficult situation, it is sometimes really difficult to decide which company the government supports…
