"What about you, Zhengyang?" Xi Chongshan couldn't help asking.

"Me? Who knows? There are many rumors, but none of them are implemented." Sha Zhengyang shrugged and leaned on the back of the chair. "But no matter whether you go or not, wherever you go, I hope to finalize it sooner and not be so leisurely that everyone is panic and don't have much intention to do serious things."

"It's not that exaggerated. Everyone is still doing what they should do." Xi Chongshan shook his head and said confidently: "Everyone is already doing a good job now. Kraft Food Industrial Park is expected to be officially started next month. The planning and renderings of Kraft have been officially confirmed. This year, our Economic and Technological Development Zone's contract investment and actual landing investment have been stabilized."

The Economic and Technological Development Zone performed well in the first quarter of this year, with Nestlé Food’s investment on schedule, and the construction of Nestlé Food Industrial Park is in full swing.

Kraft Foods signed the contract on March 31, which was the last day of the first quarter. It was far away from Nestlé Foods across the road to set sail, and it felt like a stadium.

Xu Fuji is also located next to Kraft Food Industrial Park, while Wangwang Food chose to be adjacent to Nestle.

It can be said that as far as the food industrial park is concerned, these four and three instant noodle companies have become the pillars of the current Economic and Technological Development Zone.

But there are more small and medium-sized enterprises that can truly support the Economic and Technological Development Zone. As of the end of March, except for the seven, there were as many as 29 food companies registered and settled in the Economic and Technological Development Zone, 17 of which are small enterprises with an investment scale of no more than 2 million yuan, which is expected to have revenue of no more than 50 million yuan. The largest one of the remaining 12 companies has no more than 15 million yuan, and most of them have investments between 3 million and 5 million yuan.

"But it's too single." Sha Zhengyang's words made Xi Chongshan sigh, "When Huazhong Electronics is launched, it will be a new beginning. By the way, I heard from Lu Ya that there are two electronic component companies in Wenzhou, Zhejiang that are investigating here. They hope to become parts suppliers of Sanyo Ruos, Huafeng Electrical Appliances and Gaosheng Electronics."

"This is a prerequisite for investment?" Sha Zhengyang raised his eyebrows, "This is a bit over."

"That's not. They just hope that the Economic and Technological Development Zone can provide them with necessary recommendations. Now they are all market economy. The price and quality are not good. No one will buy our account, right?" Xi Chongshan shook his head repeatedly, "Besides, I think this is a good thing. Sanyo Ruos and Gaosheng also need to be richer in the supply chain, right?"

"Then they should come to the door and recommend themselves. As long as they have this confidence, it is too late to welcome Sanyo Ruos or Gaosheng Electronics." Sha Zhengyang disagreed.

"Zhengyang, you can't say that. They have factories in Wenzhou and Taizhou. The problem is that they have to build factories here, and at least they have to connect with companies here to dare to consolidate their investment confidence."

Xi Chongshan disagrees with Sha Zhengyang's point of view.

"I asked Lu Ya to help coordinate, including several military-to-civilian enterprises that are about to move out. I also intend to let them contact you. At least we want to create the necessary conditions for them, right?"

Sha Zhengyang thought for a moment and nodded: "The introduction is definitely fine. The electronic and electrical appliance industry itself needs many upstream parts suppliers. Huafeng Electric and Sanyo Ruos also mentioned to me last time that their demand for electronic components and plastic parts is getting bigger and bigger, and the original suppliers are no longer able to meet it. I hope that some local companies will take over or switch to production. If it still doesn't work, they may have to go to coastal areas to set up some parts suppliers to settle down here."

"That's a good thing!" Xi Chongshan was quite excited, "Can we attract more investors to build factories from the coast. Isn't this what we hope to see?"

"Lao Xi, from my heart, I still hope that some private bosses and private enterprises can do it and become suppliers of these large enterprises. Just like Nestlé Food, their milk sources also come from our local farmers and our local flour mills."

Sha Zhengyang knew that this issue was more profound when he wanted to discuss it, but he still hoped to explain this topic thoroughly through communication with Xi Chongshan, which would help everyone to have a tendency in their work in the future.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Xi Chongshan also realized something, but he still wanted to hear Sha Zhengyang say it more thoroughly.

"Lao Xi, think about it, why did businessmen from Wenzhou and Taizhou, Zhejiang come to us to invest and set up factories instead of our local businessmen who set up factories themselves?"

Sha Zhengyang asked and answered indifferently: "It's very simple. The merchants in Zhejiang are located in the coastal areas and have been bathed in the spring breeze of reform earlier and accepted new ideas and new ideas earlier in their thoughts. Therefore, they took the lead in developing, especially the development of the private economy, and completed the initial primitive accumulation of capital. Therefore, they can find suitable business opportunities to invest in and build factories in the inland areas now openly. In a sense, the nature of foreign capital is the same. They are the first to complete the original accumulation to find more business opportunities and profit points."

"Now the country has relaxed the constraints on the development of the non-public economy, but there are still obvious differences. Foreign capital is better than domestic private capital in terms of policies. This is an indisputable thing. This is difficult to understand. However, considering that our domestic non-state-owned capital is seriously insufficient, attracting foreign capital with more preferential policies is also a helpless choice."

Sha Zhengyang's words are very sharp and tricky, but they are facts.

"From our local perspective, my understanding of private capital should be that endogenous capital is better than foreign capital, and foreign capital is better than foreign capital. Of course, this can only be said to be emotional. If you really throw away your feelings, just from a work perspective, all kinds of capital should be treated equally because they can bring us the development opportunities."

"Zhengyang, how do you understand the emotional endogenous capital you mentioned because of foreign capital and overseas capital?" Xi Chongshan asked.

"It's very simple. Endogenous capital originates from our local area. When they develop and grow in the future, there is a high probability that their profits will remain in our local area to continue to develop or consume. This is more beneficial to our local development. In contrast, foreign capital and overseas capital may transfer and leave when they make money, or the probability of leaving is higher. Of course, this cannot be generalized. No one will leave easily in a real money-making market. I can only say that this is a probability problem."

Sha Zhengyang's explanation failed to satisfy Xi Chongshan, "But Zhengyang, you have considered that there is no capital and foreign capital in coastal areas, otherwise our local private capital is much larger, and there is no comparison at all."

"Yes, so I said it can only be like this in terms of emotions. From a rational and work perspective, we should treat everyone equally. Well, the policy supports foreign investment more effectively, but if we are unwilling to support the development of our endogenous local capital and enterprises, how can they grow stronger?"

Sha Zhengyang's view made Xi Chongshan think about it for a while.

This kind of support for endogenous capital and enterprises is basically without policies, and there are only restrictions. Instead, it is very welcome to foreign capital, but foreign capital is actually still private capital.

The discussion with Xi Chongshan came to an abrupt end as Lu Jian came in.

The three of them have a good relationship, and the three of them realize that they may not have worked together for too long, so they still cherish this period of time and experience.

Sometimes a juicy experience of working together can often benefit people throughout their lives.

Sha Zhengyang, Lu Jian and Xi Chongshan all had this feeling. Sha Zhengyang's wisdom, cleverness and decisiveness, Lu Jian's calmness, generosity and courage, Xi Chongshan's delicateness, meticulousness and sharpness all made each learn a lot from each other.

*******

Ye Hetai lost a lot of weight in the past half month.

It’s May Day soon. Starting from May Day this year, the eight-hour working system will officially start in China, with only five and a half days a week. In other words, the big weekend is finally here.

But for Ye Hetai, this means nothing. He estimates that he will not be able to rest in the next few months.

In fact, since mid-April, the Organization Department has mobilized all the people. Three deputy ministers, one by one, started a discussion and interview with several key districts and counties. He also interviewed the main leaders of some key counties to understand the situation.

The news feedback from each group is indeed not very satisfactory, or it is lower than Ye Hetai's prediction.

Lagging economic development, conservative ideas, and lack of capabilities have basically become similar disadvantages in several key districts and counties.

Team solidification is also a big problem. This was summarized by Jin Kennan when discussing with Ye Hetai after he came back.

Take Dan Town, Linhe and Tongshan as an example. The secretaries, county magistrates, deputy secretary, and standing committee members and deputy county magistrates of the three counties, except for Dan Town and Tongshan, each with a standing committee member and deputy county magistrate who went down from the city, Linhe has a deputy county magistrate who was appointed by the province. The others have basically grown up from their respective localities and have never served in exchanges and positions in places other than the county.

Wanzhou did a relatively poor job in cadre exchanges, especially in county-level cadres.

This is Lin Chunming's criticism of the Organization Department, which also made Ye Hetai's face burn.

However, before this, or even now, the number of county-level cadres in the province has been a minority, or even a very small number, and most of them are still locally produced.

Even if there are few entries in the city, most of them are in the city. If you are far away, you will choose a county that is not too far away from the city.

However, Ye Hetai also admitted that the county-level cadres in Wanzhou City did not do well in exchanges in other places, which greatly affected and restricted the ideological, abilities and style of Wanzhou district and county cadres, which to a certain extent affected the development of the local economy.
