HCB Chapter 355 Welcoming Banquet
Chapter 355 Welcoming Banquet
Qi Tongwei followed Meng Zhiqiang and soon arrived at the county guesthouse.
Organization Minister Qian Laiyang, United Front Work Minister Zi Yingfei, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Huang Yuanzhou, and People's Armed Forces Minister Xiang Yongheng were already waiting there.
"County Chief Qi, Director Meng!"
"County Chief Qi, Director Meng!"
"County Chief Qi, Director Meng!"
"County Chief Qi, Director Meng!"
Qian Laiyang, Huang Yuanzhou, Zi Yingfei, and Xiang Yongheng greeted Qi Tongwei and Meng Zhiqiang.
"Minister Qian!"
"Secretary Huang!"
"Minister Zi!"
"Minister Xiang!"
Qi Tongwei and Meng Zhiqiang also greeted them one by one.
Afterwards, the group went into a private room together, where they drank tea and chatted casually.
Soon after, Propaganda Minister Ji Jinqiang also arrived.
When Qi Tongwei saw that Pu Songlin, Su Yunong, and Niu Wenliang hadn't come, he knew that the three of them were giving him the cold shoulder.
Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't show it.
A while later, Liao Changyong also arrived.
"Director Meng, didn't Deputy Secretary Pu, Deputy County Head Su, and Secretary Niu notify them?"
Liao Changyong noticed that Pu Songlin, Su Yunong, and Niu Wenliang were not there, so he asked.
"Secretary Liao, I've already notified them!"
Deputy Secretary Pu didn't know!
Deputy County Head Su and Secretary Niu said they weren't feeling well and were getting IV drips at the hospital!
Meng Zhiqiang quickly explained the situation to Liao Changyong.
"Secretary Liao, Deputy Secretary Pu has had to go back to his hometown on some urgent business!"
Ji Jinqiang stood up and said.
"I see!
Since the three of them can't come, let's begin!
"Director Meng, please have the waiter serve the food!"
Liao Changyong was displeased. Pu Songlin, Su Yunong, and Niu Wenliang's absence from the welcome banquet was not only disrespectful to Qi Tongwei, but also a slap in his face.
Having something come up back home or feeling unwell are just excuses; they're just ways of venting frustration.
How can one's career path be smooth sailing?
There will definitely be some setbacks along the way.
If we didn't make progress this time, we'll try again next time.
As a cadre, one must have the spirit of becoming stronger in the face of setbacks.
If you can't even handle this kind of setback, how can you reach a higher position?
Moreover, such unrestrained venting of dissatisfaction would make those above them think they are immature.
If there are opportunities for promotion in the future, they will not be considered.
As a Party member, how can one lack the spirit of being willing to suffer losses?
Qi Tongwei scoffed inwardly.
Since these three are not giving us any face, we should make them suffer to the fullest.
"Come on, let's raise a glass together to welcome County Chief Qi to work in Xichun County and join this big family of Xichun County!"
After everyone's glasses were filled, Liao Changyong began to speak.
"Thank you, Secretary Liao, and thank you everyone!"
Qi Tongwei reported that he touched each of them individually, and then ate the whole thing in one gulp.
"For the second cup, we hope County Chief Qi will share the advanced work experience of Handong with everyone, so that we can grow faster!"
Liao Changyong then raised his glass.
The development of Handong is much faster than that of the Southwest, and Handong's experience is worth learning from.
"Secretary Liao, you flatter me. I am unworthy of being called an instructor; let's exchange ideas!"
Qi Tongwei reported.
He should be humble and not arrogant.
"The third cup of hope is that County Chief Qi's arrival will bring significant changes to our county and enable it to develop rapidly!"
Liao Changyong then raised his third glass of wine.
He hoped that Xichun would achieve great success so that he could be promoted to a better position in the future.
If Xichun County becomes a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan, he might become the deputy mayor.
"Thank you for your expectations, Secretary Liao!"
I believe that under Secretary Liao's leadership, and with everyone's joint efforts, Xichun County will undergo tremendous development and changes!
Qi Tongwei said.
Xichun County cannot develop rapidly by relying on just one person.
"Let's exchange ideas!"
After three cups, Liao Changyong told everyone to do whatever they wanted.
I'd like to raise a glass to everyone!
I'm very happy to work in Xichun County and join this big family!
Qi Tongwei raised his glass and said.
"Please continue to support us in our future work!"
After finishing one glass, Qi Tongwei poured himself another.
Please take care of me and give me guidance in my future work and life!
The three cups were quickly finished.
"Secretary Liao, please give the county party committee more support for the county government's work in the future!"
Qi Tongwei then began to toast individually.
"Rest assured, County Chief Qi, the County Party Committee will definitely give strong support to the work of the County Government!"
Liao Changyong said.
After toasting Liao Changyong, Qi Tongwei toasted everyone else in turn.
After that, Liao Changyong and the others also paid their respects to Qi Tongwei in turn.
"County Chief Qi, Jinshan County only achieved rapid development after you arrived, becoming a county with a revenue of 10 billion yuan in just one year!"
"Can our county also quickly become a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan?"
Qian Laiyang asked while picking up some food.
Although Handong is much stronger than the Southwest, Jinshan County was not much stronger than Xichun County last year.
Jinshan County's rapid development only began after Qi Tongwei was transferred there.
If Qi Tongwei can replicate the success of Xichun County, which has achieved a revenue of 10 billion yuan, then they can all achieve the same level of success and be promoted quickly.
Others were also very interested.
"Minister Qian's idea is excellent. We can set the goal of becoming a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan as our development target for the next few years!"
The situation in Xichun County should be similar to that in Jinshan County two years ago.
However, it is unrealistic for Xichun County to become a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan in a short period of time.
Jinshan County was able to become a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan in just one year because of the discovery of many mineral resources.
Moreover, some mineral reserves are very large, and large mining companies have quickly been found to exploit them.
I tried many methods at the time, but none of them were very effective.
Later, on a whim, they sought out a geological team for exploration, and luckily discovered considerable mineral resources.
This afternoon I took a look at the industrial situation in our county, and there aren't many mineral resources.
It is unrealistic to expect rapid development based on mineral resources.
Therefore, if our county wants to develop rapidly, we can only find solutions in agriculture and industry!
Moreover, even if we find a solution, our county won't see much growth this year!
Qi Tongwei said.
He also hopes to quickly develop Xichun County into a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan, so that he can better prove his abilities.
Let him climb to the position of deputy director more quickly.
However, Xichun County does not have the conditions to quickly become a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan.
The problems with businesses alone will keep Xichun County in trouble for some time.
These enterprises not only fail to generate profits and contribute to GDP, but also place a heavy burden on Xichun County.
Solving these problems is not an easy task, because Xichun County does not have enough money to pay resettlement fees to laid-off workers.
There is also not enough space to house these laid-off workers and enable them to better make a living on their own.
With the problems at the food factory coming to light, problems at other companies are likely to follow suit.
At that time, Xichun County's economic development may not only fail to grow, but may even regress.
"Our county won't see much growth this year?"
Qian Laiyang looked puzzled.
"why?"
The others also looked on with curiosity.
Liao Changyong looked even more worried.
The current competition is all about growth; if there's no growth, it means the work hasn't been done well.
"Because our county has a huge burden of enterprises!"
Take food factories as an example. Last year they should have had some output value, but this year their output value is almost zero.
Once the investigation by the Public Security Bureau and the Discipline Inspection Commission is completed, and the county has finished its inventory, the food factory's assets may be negative!
If the food factory goes bankrupt and its employees lose their jobs, the impact will be even greater.
This is just a food factory; if other factories were similar, the situation would be much more serious.
At that time, our county's economic development will decline instead of increase.
Even if we try to make up for it, it won't have much effect.
Therefore, our county won't see much growth this year!
Qi Tongwei explained.
"Therefore, we must solve the problems of enterprises this year, get rid of this huge burden, and move forward with a lighter load!"
Next year, we'll have a chance to reach one billion or even two billion!
Qi Tongwei continued to explain.
