In the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming just asked his secretary, Xu Wei, to wait for Chen Xing at the door. Chen Xing was not surprised at all. If Ge Jian-ming came out to greet him in person, it would be abnormal. The two were just pretending to be friendly.
Comrade Chen Xing, here you are. When Chen Xing walked into the office, Ge Jian-ming stood up and nodded slightly to Chen Xing.
Without too much greeting, they sat down. Ge Jian-ming looked at Chen Xing inquiringly, as if he was guessing the purpose of Chen Xing's visit. It was rare for Chen Xing to come to his office now.
Before Ge Jian-ming opened his mouth, Chen Xing, who was not used to being taken the initiative, spoke first. "Secretary Jian Ming, I'm here to discuss the subway project with you. What's your opinion on it?"
"Subway project?" Ge Jian-ming did not expect Chen Xing to be so direct. He went straight to the point and suddenly threw out such a topic that he had never mentioned before. Ge Jian-ming could not react for a while.
"Not bad, I think Nanzhou is also suitable for the subway project. Can we discuss it as a topic and organize a group of experts to verify it?" Chen Xing nodded and said.
Ge Jianming furrowed his brows, trying to digest the topic that Chen Xing had suddenly thrown out. The subway project was undoubtedly a major event for Nanzhou. This was the first time someone had brought it up so seriously, and this person was Chen Xing, so Ge Jianming had to pay more attention to it. It wasn't that he hadn't considered the subway project before, but the timing wasn't ripe. A city's development corresponded with the construction of its transportation facilities. In the past, when Nanzhou City applied for a subway project for approval, it was a bit of blindly following the trend, impractical, and a waste of resources. But now that the subway project was being discussed, it did indeed have the conditions and a certain degree of necessity. From discussion to project approval, all the way to the final construction, this process would take at least a few years. At that time, Nanzhou would indeed need several subway lines to support the traffic bottlenecks caused by the city's expansion and development.
Comrade Chen Xing's suggestion was feasible. Ge Jian-ming only pondered for a while and then agreed to Chen Xing's proposal. This was because this had nothing to do with any factional struggle. Ge Jian-ming did not need to think too much. As long as it was related to the development of Nanzhou, Ge Jian-ming was also willing to put aside his prejudices and discuss the matter with Chen Xing. As a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, if he did not have this kind of attitude, then he would not have been able to sit in his current position.
If Secretary Jian Ming also agrees, I will invite experts in related fields to form a research group. Chen Xing saw that Ge Jian-ming agreed so readily, so he was not too surprised by this result. He believed that Ge Jian-ming would not have any objections. If he did, then Ge Jian-ming, as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, would only be worse than the Secretary of the Township Party Committee. However, even if he had confidence in Ge Jian-ming's reaction, he still had to come to the Municipal Party Committee today. After all, this was a big deal. It was necessary to inform Ge Jian-ming first. This would save them a lot of trouble in the future.
The two sides actually had a lot in common. Chen Xing knew that as long as it did not involve the conflict of interests between the two sides, Ge Jian-ming would be the same as him. They would not bring their personal feelings too much into their work. This was also the quality required of a qualified politician.
As for the subway project, he was afraid that it would be difficult to pass the approval of the Development and Reform Commission. Ge Jianming pondered for a moment before saying. He had to admit that he was also very tempted by this proposal and was willing to work together with Chen Xing. Both of them would use their own connections and resources to promote this project.
Yes, the key was still the approval from above. Chen Xing also nodded. As long as the city was determined to go for this project, it would not take too much time. However, the approval authority for urban rail transit projects like the subway was ultimately in the hands of the Development and Reform Commission. If the higher-ups did not approve, even if Nanzhou City had the determination and confidence to raise the funds, it would be useless.
After a pause, Chen Xing did not hide the fact that he had met with Director Wang Weilin of the Industrial Planning Department of the Development and Reform Commission a few days ago and consulted about the subway project. He said, "A few days ago, I sat down with Director Wang of the Industrial Planning Department of the Development and Reform Commission. Director Wang also gave some of his personal opinions on the feasibility of Nanzhou City's subway project. In terms of hard targets, Nanzhou City meets the requirements, and Director Wang thinks that we can apply first.
It is easy to apply, but if it is delayed for two or three years, then it will really be too late. " Ge Jian-Ming shook his head and smiled. He knew what the hard targets Chen Xing was talking about were. Currently, there were three main criteria for the construction of the subway approved by the central government. The urban population must reach 3 million or more, the GDP must reach 100 billion or more, and the fiscal budget must reach 10 billion or more. Nanzhou City met all of these conditions. In recent years, Nanzhou City's development was obvious to all. It maintained an annual growth rate of 13%, which was higher than the development of most regions. Especially in the past two years, Nanzhou City had put forward the slogan of "Expand East and Advance North." The city's planning continued to expand outwards, and it already had the beginnings of a metropolis. As long as Nanzhou City maintained this speed of development, in a few years, it would also become an economic city on the eastern coast.
Everything had to be done sooner rather than later, so we have to hurry up. Chen Xing said.
Ge Jian-Ming did not object to Chen Xing's words. He said, "First, your government will organize experts to discuss and come up with a feasible professional opinion as soon as possible. When the time comes, we will report it to the leaders of the province and get it approved as soon as possible."
It could be said that there was no disagreement between the two sides regarding the subway project. After exchanging opinions, Ge Jian-Ming and Chen Xing looked relaxed. Ever since the conflict between the two sides became public, it was rare for them to have a pleasant conversation like this.
However, this trip of Chen Xing's was not just to communicate with Ge Jian-Ming. After talking about business, Ge Jian-Ming's good mood did not last long. Suddenly, Chen Xing mentioned something that Ge Jian-Ming did not want to hear. Secretary Jian-Ming, should we also start to consider the team of Xing Hua County? The position of the County Party Secretary can't be left vacant all the time.
Ge Jian-Ming did not immediately answer Chen Xing's words, but the smile on his face was no longer there. Instead, he looked a little more solemn. He did not like what Chen Xing said, but he undoubtedly could not show his emotions in front of Chen Xing, let alone any dissatisfaction. This was related to the struggle of personal interests, and Ge Jian-Ming was very shrewd.
Secretary Jian-Ming, now the people of Xing Hua County are in a panic, and rumors are spreading everywhere. The new Secretary must be chosen carefully, but it can't be delayed. I suggest that Xu Qingnian temporarily take over the position of the County Party Secretary, at least to stabilize the situation in Xing Hua County, and not be affected by Ye Kaiyun's case. Seeing that Ge Jian-Ming did not speak, Chen Xing did not care what Ge Jian-Ming was thinking, and continued to play the cards in his hand. Letting Xu Qingnian temporarily take over the position of the County Party Secretary is his idea. With such an established fact, it will be easier for Xu Qingnian to remove the word "temporarily" from his mind.
The importance of the position of the County Party Secretary is self-evident, and the organization and personnel work is a very serious matter. Comrade Chen Xing, it is meaningless for us to discuss this now, and we have to consult the opinions of the other members of the Standing Committee. I think it will not be too late to discuss this when the Standing Committee is convened. Ge Jian-Ming said seriously. There is no doubt that he will not let Chen Xing intervene in the personnel affairs. The reason why he brought it to the Standing Committee for discussion is because Ge Jian-Ming has the confidence to completely suppress Chen Xing in the Standing Committee.
Well, I will respect Secretary Jian-Ming's decision. Chen Xing nodded. As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-Ming has the right to convene the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and Chen Xing has no reason to object. However, seeing the faint confidence in the corner of Ge Jian-Ming's mouth, Chen Xing's face also showed a trace of a smile without a trace.
Coming out of Ge Jian-Ming's office, Chen Xing was in a good mood. Testing the leadership of Xing Hua County was just a side job. Today, his main purpose was to exchange ideas with Ge Jian-Ming about the subway project. Both parties had no differences of opinion, and Chen Xing was also in a good mood. He attached great importance to the subway project, and was eager to get the project approved as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not have made a trip to the Municipal Party Committee just to exchange ideas. He could have communicated with Ge Jian-Ming over the phone, and did not need to come in person.
Finally, when it came to the personnel affairs, Ge Jian-Ming returned to being a sly old fox. Chen Xing was not surprised at all. If Ge Jian-Ming followed his wishes, then Chen Xing would be suspicious. He might even suspect that Xu Qingnian was two-timing, and when he took the initiative to lean towards him, he was also showing goodwill to Ge Jian-Ming.
With the support of Shen Lingyue and Yang Pingping, it was time to give Ge Jian-Ming a surprise. After Chen Xing got into his car, he could not suppress the smile on his face. Ceng Gaoqiang had already told him that Chen Tongjin had convinced Shen Lingyue and Yang Pingping. Before the Standing Committee, Chen Xing only needed to inform Shen Lingyue and Yang Pingping in advance, and both of them would cooperate with him. At that time, Ge Jian-Ming's eyeballs would probably fall out of their sockets. This was what Chen Xing thought. Perhaps, he could see Ge Jian-Ming's face for the first time when the situation was out of his control.
