On January 12, 2005, the provincial bureau of statistics finally released the main economic data on the province. Zhongzhou City ranked first in the province with a GDP growth rate of 25.6%, with a growth rate of fixed asset investment reaching 29.8%, of which the growth rate of industrial fixed asset investment was 19.9%, the growth rate of per capita disposable income of urban residents reached a record 18.6%, and the growth rate of per capita net income of rural residents was as high as 22.3%, both of which broke the Zhongzhou record.

At the same time, Zhongzhou City's GDP growth rate once again won the championship among provincial capital cities across the country. This is the second consecutive year that Zhongzhou won the championship, and even the General Office of the State Council specially praised it for this.

On January 19, 2005, Sha Zhengyang resigned from the position of mayor of Zhongzhou Municipal People's Government, and Chen Hansheng was appointed as acting mayor.

"It's another year, like a flash of white horses, it passes in the blink of an eye." Sha Zhengyang sighed and looked at Chen Hansheng beside him. "Mayor Hansheng, you have to say this every year. This year will be more important and more critical. But the old saying is the old saying, but it has its own philosophy. We still have to listen and believe it."

Chen Hansheng was wearing a gray suit that was well-fitted. Compared to Sha Zhengyang's jacket, he didn't think he was too formal. Today was the first time he had come to Sha Zhengyang to visit the main leaders of the provincial party committee and government with Sha Zhengyang. The leaders also talked to them one by one. It took a long time and a rich content.

"Well, the leaders have also talked to me about the situation in Zhongzhou this year. Last year, our Zhongzhou achieved brilliant results. So what should we do this year?" Chen Hansheng gathered lightly, "Every year is different, but the pressure is not reduced at all. Well, Secretary Sha, I heard that the Wuhan party and government delegation is coming to our Zhongzhou to visit and inspect after the New Year?"

"Well, in addition to Wuhan, there are also people from Xi'an and Chengdu. The leader also told me that we will have to receive several groups in April and May." Sha Zhengyang rubbed his temples, "They have finished watching all our belongings. If we can't bring out new things, we may be ugly this year."

Chen Hansheng laughed, "Secretary Sha, you have to be a little self-modest. I feel that you are confident. Well, don't you say something well? We have to be imitated and never surpassed. Whether it is industrial cultivation and aggregation, or our institutional model innovation, in recent years, our Zhongzhou has been absorbing the experience of Handu and improving it in combination with the characteristics of our Zhongzhou. Didn't you also say it at the year-end summary meeting? Our Zhongzhou is an inclusive city with a broad mind. We welcome guests from all over the world to develop and start businesses. We will also continue to innovate and innovate ourselves in combination with the development of Zhongzhou's city, making this city a better place."

"Haha, Mayor Hansheng said it well, you have more confidence and momentum than me." Sha Zhengyang was moved and walked on the lakeside with his hands behind his back.

This is also the intention of the two people after reporting their work in the province to come out for a walk. They not only mean to express their feelings, but also have further communication and intention to make a strategic outlook for their work in 2005.

"After working with you for more than half a year, I was still a little upbeat in my heart. I always felt that some of your efforts were too big and too advanced, but now it seems that you can see further and expect more accurately." Chen Hansheng's words were sincere, "I didn't expect that the industrial environment in Zhongzhou will change so quickly. Well, the publicity and momentum in all aspects has also been kept up, and our commitment to the outside world has been truly fulfilled. We can say that we will do what we say and do what we do. The gains brought by this effect are beyond my imagination."

"Well, Mayor Hansheng, do you know what I am most proud of in Zhongzhou in the past two years?" Sha Zhengyang showed a proud smile on his face. "It is not a big investment in infrastructure construction, nor is it a harvest of various projects for industrial investment promotion. But I think Secretary Tiancheng and I, the next step is to create a brand of honest government and reshape an integrity business card for our Zhongzhou city, so that our Zhongzhou locals, foreign entrepreneurs and employers can feel the integrity of our Zhongzhou treatment of others and the rule of law city, which is more precious than anything else...."

This is Sha Zhengyang's greatest compliment. A city always has to leave something behind. In Sha Zhengyang's view, a good integrity and legal environment is Zhongzhou's greatest wealth. As long as this golden sign does not fade, then with Zhongzhou's geographical advantages and resource endowment, coupled with the capital city of a large population province, Zhongzhou can have a position in the second-tier cities that compete for China's future territory, and its location will not be bad.

Chen Hansheng didn't really feel Sha Zhengyang's view, but after Sha Zhengyang intentionally allowed him to get more contact with some other comprehensive work besides party affairs, he felt something different.

Many companies, projects, visiting teams and institutions have very different attitudes towards Zhongzhou.

Including at the end of last year, Zhongzhou took the initiative to hold a seminar on the docking of financial industries in Yanjing and Shanghai. The main goal was to conduct a very in-depth communication and exchange with foreign banks, joint-stock banks and insurance institutions in addition to the four major banks, as well as some policy banks.

He found that these financial and insurance institutions were very interested in Zhongzhou's honest city and the business card of the rule of law city, especially the series of measures to rectify dishonesty launched by the Zhongzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government in the past two years, and they all asked about some details in Zhongzhou under these specific measures, and even reached the point where they had to understand everything clearly.

Later he learned that these financial institutions hope to establish a relatively complete credit reporting system including individual citizens and enterprises, institutions, from Zhongzhou, and these departments will support such a pilot in Zhongzhou, which already has certain system support, and vigorously promote the construction of this system that can greatly reduce the business risk costs of financial institutions. For this reason, they are more willing to take the initiative to open an institution pilot in Zhongzhou.

In Chen Hansheng's view, this is undoubtedly a great favorable factor for Zhongzhou's investment and development environment, and it is also great favorable news for willingness to go to Zhongzhou to develop and settle down. Once this relationship between fish and water enters a stage of virtuous interactive cycle, the entire social and economic ecology of Zhongzhou will enter a new situation.
