The luncheon for the three people was arranged in a small hall of the Handu Hotel.

Handu Hotel is a designated hotel for public receptions by the Handu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Most of the small and medium-sized meetings are arranged here. Although they are only four stars, they are qualified and have a deep historical origin.

There were only three people, which made Sha Zhengyang flattered.

Mao Xiangdong is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Han Metropolitan Party Committee. He has served as a member of the Standing Committee and Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. It can be said that Sha Zhengyang's previous key leap in his career. From the level of the department to the deputy department level, Mao Xiangdong also played an important role. Moreover, after returning from the central training, he went directly to the position of deputy director of the Provincial Development and Planning Commission. Although it was thanks to Cheng Song's strong recommendation, Mao Xiangdong's attitude was also very critical.

Even Kang Guangliang came to such a banquet and felt that it was difficult to refuse.

"Secretary Mao, you are so kind. That needs to be done. With your words, I will definitely come to you in front of you and follow your command in the shortest time."

After shaking hands with Mao Xiangdong, Sha Zhengyang's shy look made Cao Qingtai and Mao Xiangdong laugh.

Mao Xiangdong couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhengyang, there is no need to underestimate yourself. You are famous. Do you know why I would invite you to a gathering?"

Sha Zhengyang glanced at Cao Qingtai next to him and shook his head honestly: "Secretary Mao, don't make a puzzle for me. I really don't know. I have been traveling in various cities during this period. You know that I have also visited you in Handu. I dare not lose my etiquette."

Mao Xiangdong laughed and smiled happily, "I didn't say you are not polite. Yesterday, when I was having dinner with Qingtai Province, I talked about you, saying that your current growth is changing three times a day, keeping pace with the times, making people look at you."

Sha Zhengyang pursed his lips, didn't say anything, just waiting for the following text.

"I went to Yanjing some time ago and met a leader from the General Office of the State Council. He talked about you and praised you. He had a high evaluation. He said that although you worked in the Central Large Enterprise Working Committee, the content and nature of the later work are not only the content of the Central Large Enterprise Working Committee, but more about the work of the National Development and Planning Commission, the National Economic and Trade Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the National Science and Technology Commission and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. The main leaders of the State Council are very concerned about it."

Mao Xiangdong's words surprised Cao Qingtai. He knew that Sha Zhengyang was very active during his work in the Central Large Enterprise Working Committee, and some leaders were very satisfied with his work, but he did not expect that he would rise to such a high level.

"Secretary Mao, it's not that exaggerated, the leaders are over-reputable." Sha Zhengyang quickly explained: "Because it involves the key core industries in strategic emerging industries and key industries, it was indeed the topic derived from the Central Large Enterprise Working Committee in the process of studying the future development of large central enterprises, which aroused the interest of the leaders of the State Council. Therefore, it was indeed the leader of our Central Large Enterprise Working Committee. But later everyone realized that the nature of the work of the Central Large Enterprise Working Committee was not suitable to take the lead, and it was changed to the General Office of the State Council in name, but in essence it was the National Development and Planning Commission who took the lead, because this involves the strategic deployment and adjustment of our national economic development in the future, and it also attracted the attention of the central leaders... "

"I'm right. This work has attracted the high attention of the central leaders, so it will rise to such a high level for research and policy preparation." Mao Xiangdong raised his hand and signaled to eat the food first: "Come on, eat the food first, drink at will. Qingtai knew that I was a person with limited alcohol tolerance and dared not persuade him to drink. Only the three of us, just casually, and chat while eating."

If three people eat, it is indeed easy to get upset if they do not have enough topics. However, three people also have the benefits of three people. There are few people and the topics are concentrated, and everyone can participate. If you choose the right topic, it will obviously arouse everyone's desire to talk.

The dishes are simple and simple. There are four cold dishes, one of which is vegetarian, which is very cold, but very exquisite. At this level, this atmosphere of dinner party does not pay much attention to it. People even think that this is more relaxed and comfortable, and luxury and waste are not worthy of pride.

There is only one bottle of wine, Dongfang Hongguojiao 1921, low-grade, as soon as it is on the table, it is ready to control the total amount, which allows everyone to enjoy it and not be under pressure.

"The policy preparation term probably means that the central government is also planning to introduce relevant policies, and it attaches great importance to and is cautious, right?" Cao Qingtai also asked: "These two areas are both different and intertwined, and the areas involved are also very broad. Cities like Handu involve many industries in the latter area. No wonder Xiangyang you attach so much importance to them."

"No, Qingtai and Handu have a complete range of industries, such as aerospace, machinery manufacturing, electronics, chemicals and other industries, which is indeed a major part, but I am more concerned about the part mentioned in emerging strategic industries. Zhengyang, the General Office of the State Council and a leader of the National Science and Technology Commission all mentioned the importance of emerging strategic industries, especially the electronic information industry. They emphasized that you have a particularly unique highlight of emerging strategic industries. Well, a leader of the State Council even quoted some of your comments on the electronic information industry, believing that your understanding of this industry is more profound than that of many experts, scholars and our functional departments, and the evaluation is very high."

Mao Xiangdong's eyes were full of appreciation. This time he went to Yanjing to meet many people, two of whom mentioned Sha Zhengyang, which shocked him.

The city of Yanjing can be said to be hidden and hiding dragons and tigers. Those who can be named in the minds of leaders are definitely the first-class person, but Sha Zhengyang has gained such attention.

In particular, Sha Zhengyang's depth of understanding of emerging strategic industries is very extraordinary, and this is related to the series of policies related to emerging strategic industries and key core industries that the central government will issue soon.

"Secretary Mao, I may be quite interested in emerging industries, such as the Internet information industry, such as the new materials and biological industry. During my work in the Central Large Enterprise Working Committee, I also contacted some comrades from the Development and Planning Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission and the National Science and Technology Commission. I have discussed this aspect many times and have some feelings and understandings. Later, the central leaders gave some instructions on this work, so I established a cross-departmental joint collaboration working mechanism to make future planning and development suggestions for key core industries in emerging industries and key industries according to their respective responsibilities...."

"Well, I know this situation. Isn't your Provincial Development and Planning Commission doing this work now?" Mao Xiangdong asked while eating: "You first survey and then study and analyze, and then issue relevant policies based on the actual situation. I know what the province means is that we should take the lead before the central government introduces policies, and we can gain some first-hand advantages, and it can even be regarded as a pilot. In the future, the central government can also learn from some of our practices. However, such a mechanism or policy largely determines the direction of support for the development of industries in this area in the future. We will lead one step ahead and may also point out the way for others to avoid detours. For example, in coastal areas, the conditions and advantages are better than us in all aspects. They can completely take the lead and take the lead. The pros and cons are really hard to say."

Mao Xiangdong's words seem a bit narrow-minded, but as Secretary of the Han Urban Committee, Sha Zhengyang felt that this was a realistic consideration based on actual work. The attitude of a person who raised himself and felt that he could compare with the coastal areas could only show his arrogance and naivety. He also felt that Mao Xiangdong might also have the meaning of pointing at Cheng Song's attitude. After all, Cheng Song was from the National Development and Planning Commission. Mao Xiangdong was worried that the other party might not be able to completely change his role, so he would still consider the problem from the perspective of the National Development and Planning Commission. If his butt was tilted, Hanchuan would suffer a loss.

"Secretary Mao, I understand your concerns." Sha Zhengyang also picked up a chopstick and put it on the plate in front of him. "In fact, Minister Wang and Minister Cheng have exchanged opinions on this issue, that is, considering that the gap between our Hanchuan and the coastal areas is still very large. Some aspects may only be done without saying. The policies can be avoided, but support measures can be kept up first. In addition, more should be taken first in planning and layout and started from the basics. This may be able to maintain our advantages..."

"Oh, senior officials of Yunxiang and others have considered this?" Mao Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "It seems that I am too worried. As long as the province considers it, I am worried that we can finally gain some advantages, but as a result, they are quickly imitated and quickly surpassed the past. Some people say that this competition is not a zero-sum game. My understanding is that the overall level is not a zero-sum game, but specific issues need to be analyzed in specific areas, specific industries, and individual situations, probably the zero-sum game is still a zero-sum game. Just like a project that everyone is competing for, and settled in Handu, maybe there is no show in Xi'an. If you settle in Wuhan, you may not set up a company in your Jiazhou again. This is an objective fact."

"I understand your concern. In fact, Handu does have good conditions in all aspects, but this is only compared to the whole province. Compared with cities such as Chengdu, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Jiazhou and Xi'an, the advantages are not obvious or outstanding, and there are even gaps in some aspects. Therefore, we can only take the lead in this competition by taking the lead, building the foundation, and forming aggregation effect...."

"Well said, Zhengyang!" Mao Xiangdong raised his wine glass and signaled, "That's what I mean. Han is benchmarking cities with similar size and status as ours. The advantages are not obvious. We do not hide it. Therefore, we must make practical use of our current initiatives to completely stabilize the advantages. This is what I want to say when I meet you today." ()
