Jagged City - Chapter 280 Internationalization

The news came from the Xiliang government that Lin Tao went to the Central Party School to study for a year. Everyone had mixed reactions. Some people were very happy to see that Lin Tao was going to be transferred, because when Lin Tao was there, he was not promoted. Maybe a new mayor came and his own opportunity Here it comes, this kind of speculator will only pin their hopes on others. └@ ┘ But those cadres who respect Lin Tao and admire Lin Tao are very reluctant, thinking in their hearts, do they have to go to the Central Party School?The construction of Xiliang is in full swing and has attracted worldwide attention. What a political achievement this is. Even if you don't go to the Central Party School to be gilded, there is still a lot of room for improvement.Another person jumped in shock when he heard the news.

When Zhang Yuhe heard that the Provincial Party Committee had recommended Lin Tao to the Central Party School, he was surprised and overturned his teacup. Zhang Yuhe didn't care about it, but paced back and forth in the office, looking very anxious.Zhang Yuhe cooperated with Lin Tao tacitly for more than half a year. Although he was still a bit petty in his heart, he was polite on the surface. Besides, after getting along with him, he found that Lin Tao was a donkey who was soft and not tough.Moreover, Lin Tao has a strong background. Zhang Yuhe believes that as long as he is closely tied with Lin Tao to make the Xiliang New District a success, as long as he persists for another year, even if Xiliang is upgraded to a sub-provincial city, his secretary will probably not be transferred.But right now, the secretary of the provincial party committee couldn't help but want to recommend Lin Tao to the party school of the provincial party committee.And I have been close to Lin Tao in the past six months, although the secretary of the provincial party committee has not asked, but this undoubtedly means betrayal.If a new mayor is transferred, then my position as the secretary of the municipal party committee will not be safe!

Zhang Yuhe went directly to Lin Tao's office this time.

Seeing Zhang Yuhe approaching in a hurry, Lin Tao smiled and poured tea for the secretary himself.

Zhang Yuhe said to himself, why are you so fine? Isn’t this an obvious example of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey? After you leave, someone will come to pick peaches immediately. This new Xiliang is now known as the “City from Heaven” by the outside world. What a feat this is.Although Mayor Lin is young, he has a lot of means, and if he has no ability, he can't be someone who doesn't understand!

"Mayor Lin, the Provincial Party Committee recommended you to study at the Central Party School. Although the opportunity is rare, the construction of Xiliang has only laid the foundation. If you go to the Party School to study, the speed of development will probably slow down!"

"Secretary Zhang has won the award. The development of Xiliang is the result of everyone's collective efforts. Besides, I went to the Central Party School to study on the job." Lin Tao said disapprovingly.

Zhang Yuhe said bitterly: "My brother, you are confused. If you are not in Xiliang, I am afraid that there will be great changes. By then, you will be far behind in Beijing! And according to gossip, Xiliang has been promoted to a vice-provincial level." For cities, it is likely to be earlier. By then, the mayor will be at the deputy ministerial level. You said, if you are in Beijing, what should you do if other people intervene?"

Although Lin Tao knows that Xiliang will be upgraded, the exact time is still uncertain, which needs to be decided by the State Council.However, Uncle Deng Zhan, who has a deep relationship with his father-in-law, has never sent any news as the deputy prime minister.Although Lin Tao is not an official fan, he single-handedly led the construction of Xiliang, condensing his own efforts, and there is also the family business and Gaotian Company here.It is impossible for others to pick peaches easily.But if I really want to go to the Central Party School, as Zhang Yuhe said, there are big variables.But this is also a test for myself and the elders who care about me.Lin Tao thought of this and said with a smile: "I went to the party school this time. Of course, some people are happy and some are worried. But I have a deep affection for Xiliang. I can usually contact by phone or participate in video conferences. I will work in Beijing. I I think that as long as I don’t take the initiative to resign, other people will not compete with me for the mayor. While I am gone, Mayor Li Linwan can act as an agent. Secretary Zhang needs to give more guidance, and I am relieved to have you in Xiliang.”

Although Zhang Yuhe could hear what Lin Tao meant, it was not easy to move him, but there were still risks, but this was not something he could control, it was the provincial committee's decision.

"Okay, now that it's decided. For the time being, this is the only way to go. But when you go to Beijing, you have to get the video conferencing equipment ready first. You usually have to go to class, so it seems that meetings can only be held on weekends or at night." Zhang Yuhe growled Said in one breath.

Lin Tao said with a smile: "Although in the future, there will be fewer opportunities for such face-to-face discussions, but we can contact by phone at any time. I think information office should also be mentioned on the agenda of Xiliang's development. Xiliang, which is developing rapidly, must have an efficient A team of cadres is the way to go! I will ask Mayor Wen to find someone to deal with this matter. In addition, when I go to Beijing, I can also recruit some talents to fill the vacancies."

"Okay, Mayor Lin never forgets to seek benefits for Xiliang wherever he goes. I admire that. But I feel a lot of pressure when you are not around!" Zhang Yuhe finally said with some distress. At the moment he is in Lin Tao In front of it, it seems that there is everything to talk about between friends.

Lin Tao knew Zhang Yuhe's worries and thoughts. After all, Xiliang was promoted to a sub-provincial city, and no one wanted to lose such an opportunity.Lin Tao comforted: "My father-in-law once told me that as a cadre, all your behaviors are seen in the eyes of the organization. As long as you work hard and serve the public wholeheartedly, even if there are some minor disturbances, it is no bigger than the organization. Xiliang Its rise and development are obvious to all, and cannot be easily obliterated by anyone.”

"My brother is right, I've lost my weight. It seems that I have to work harder, so I will give up the 150 pounds. People say that if a student loses [-] pounds in the college entrance examination, he is guaranteed to pass the exam." Good university, if I lose [-] or [-] pounds because of work, I will make Xiliang better." Zhang Yuhe smiled, the expression on his face relaxed a lot.

Lin Tao said with a smile: "This way I can rest assured, but the body is the capital of the revolution. Secretary Zhang should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and he can exercise after work."

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two became relaxed, and the topic of going to the party school was no longer entangled.When talking about the new city and the continuous stream of domestic and foreign tourists, Zhang Yuhe immediately beamed again. When Secretary Zhang was the leader of other cities, he was indifferent.However, coming to Xiliang, especially in the past six months, Zhang Yuhe also quietly changed because of constant surprises.Zhang Yuhe said:

"According to statistics, the number of foreign tourists staying in hotels in the new area has reached [-] in the past two weeks, and domestic tourists have reached [-]. And there are still many stranded in the provincial capital and surrounding cities. Star-rated hotels in the four cities directly connected to the expressway. The bookings are soaring! Many of the hotels in our new area are still under construction, and it’s really not reconciled to see the diversion of tourists!" Zhang Yuhe was both happy and a little bit regretful.Just like the pile of banknotes on the ground can't be picked up, I can't wait to give birth to two more hands.

"It's good to have diversions from the four surrounding cities. Otherwise, the underground palace will open to the public in October, and the number of tourists will increase sharply. This will also put a lot of pressure on us."

Secretary Zhang smiled in surprise: "I heard people say that rich people will suffer because of having more money. I think I always scoff at it, thinking that a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry. But in Xiliang, this is the situation now! "

"That's true. By the way, in order to solve the accommodation problem, I think some residential buildings in the new area can be opened up. Those new houses can be rented out after decoration. I'm afraid it's more cost-effective than selling the house. But in this way, comrades from the police and community cadres will Some are busy." Lin Tao said after taking a sip of tea.

"This is indeed a good idea. It's better to be busy than to be idle. All our cadres in Xiliang should be mobilized."

It has taken eleven months since the development of Xiliang New Area.Now it is a modern city full of tall buildings.The street buildings on the main arterial roads have all been completed.There are some newly developed residential quarters that have already taken in new residents.Some organizational units in Xiliang also moved there, such as Xiliang Public Security Bureau, Xiliang Transportation Bureau, and Xiliang Personnel Bureau.Xiliang Finance Bureau, Xiliang Central Hospital, Xiliang No. [-] High School, Xiliang Experimental Middle School—and more than [-] units.But the Xiliang government and municipal party committee have not yet moved.Waiting for the relocation next spring, when the construction of Xiliang New District will be basically completed.It means that the Xiliang government puts hardships first and pleasures later, and it also has the taste of holding back in the old areas, fearing that other units will panic.However, the Xiliang City Government and the Municipal Party Committee hadn't moved yet, so other units naturally didn't dare to have any ideas.

Now there is a strange phenomenon in Xiliang New District, that is, sometimes there are more foreigners than Chinese on the streets.Therefore, various language training institutions and translation companies have emerged as the times require.It has attracted many teachers and students from foreign language schools.If you want to improve your speaking skills, there is nothing more efficient than talking directly with foreigners.Therefore, in some restaurants and shopping malls, most of the part-time workers are college students.This also virtually shared the pressure on the government.

The central business district of Xiliang New District covers an area of ​​[-] mu, with a building area of ​​tens of millions of square meters.The building is luxurious and beautiful, and the city's international first-class standard.What Wal-Mart, Carrefour, such consumer-oriented enterprises naturally came early.KFC McDonald's also occupies several small street corners.This food is loved by students, especially primary and middle school students, who are used to the eight major cuisines. Government cadres, businessmen, and white-collar workers who are accustomed to eating Chinese cuisine sneer at this food, calling it junk food.But a Chinese fast food restaurant in the central business district is very eye-catching.Without him, the main reason is that it covers a large area.The central business is prosperous, and this fast food restaurant actually occupies [-] square meters.Divided into basement and ground floor.Definitely a big deal.This fast food restaurant is undoubtedly the "Grilled Beef Rice" fast food restaurant under the Junlian Group.The brief introduction is a bright plaque, and there are three huge electronic screens on the second floor.Make this fast food restaurant sticker an eye-catcher.

This piece of land is Junlian Company's decisive participation in the second auction of land in the central business district after learning that the barren hill where the orphanage is located has been included in the expansion plan of Xiliang New District.The buildings on the land were built by the Southeast Company of Zhao Sifang and others.Among them are Xinmart shopping malls and three office buildings.And it is this fast food restaurant that connects the three office buildings together.It's like three pagodas with one high and two low.The three office buildings have 32 floors in the middle and 26 floors on both sides.Just half a month after it was built, one-third of the area has been reserved by major companies.The rent of [-] yuan per square meter is not expensive. What we want is status and class. This Gaosheng office building is located in a prime location, and every inch of land is expensive.It is a symbol of strength that a company can rent an office building here.Therefore, when the leasing started, businessmen flocked to it.The powerful banking industry occupies the two sides of the three office buildings, with a huge fast food restaurant in the middle.

Junlian Company invested 20 billion yuan in this land, but it got 20.00 million yuan in rent just after it opened.It is expected to reach 10 million at the beginning of next year.The return on investment is [-]%. Five, such a large investment is absolutely high profit.Xiliang and the four surrounding cities have already connected expressways, and they can reach the new district in [-] minutes.As a result, there is an endless stream of citizens from the four cities going to the new district for consumption.Who wouldn't want to see a superb modern city!

Therefore, the commercial streets in the new district, where there are not many residents, are overcrowded. Fortunately, the width of the streets is twice that of other cities.The citizens of Dongshan Province who come here to shop are very excited, because they can see blond hair, blue eyes, big noses, and dark skin--foreigners of all shapes and colors at any time.I can't help but feel that I am in line with international standards. The only fly in the ointment is that my foreign language skills need to be improved. At least I can say hello and ask if I have a meal.

Go shopping in the commercial street, shopping for those who have money, and looking around for those who have no money. If you are thirsty or hungry, you will naturally find a place to eat. The fast food restaurant "Gula Beef Rice" is so eye-catching, it is really unique in the Golden Business Bureau.Therefore, people regardless of gender, age or race, entered this fast food restaurant one after another.Once inside, the facilities inside are even more surprising.The restaurant is simple and bright, with multilingual billboards.Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, American, Arabic—more than ten languages.Of course, Chinese and English are commonly used. Even so, foreign tourists who see their own languages ​​will feel less strange.And when you line up to buy things, you can recognize the Arabic numerals on them. When you look up, you can see all kinds of dishes and prices printed in color, including Chinese fast food, Asian specialties, European and French dishes.What is even more attractive is that on the electronic screen, the list of winners and the screen of awarding awards are broadcast from time to time.The appearance of Chinese and foreign tourists cheering with prizes in the picture has indeed attracted the attention of many people. It has to be said that this business model is very successful.

In addition to eating, drinking and shopping, there are entertainment facilities near the central business district.Swimming pool, gymnasium, spa, indoor golf, bowling alley - etc., which integrate eating, drinking, entertainment and leisure.If it weren't for the domestic policy not to allow it, Lin Tao really wanted to have more casinos. However, although Lin Tao was bold, he didn't dare to be the first bird. After all, this is not Hong Kong and Macau.However, underground casinos must also be eradicated.

Although the Xiliang New District is still under construction, the current prosperity is enough to show that Xiliang is entering the ranks of international cities.
