I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

"Which individuals advocate for lending out the property?" Fang Yu asked Yang Wen.

"Uh, it's Comrade Zhang Lichun and Comrade Qian Xing." Yang Wen saw that this person was asking such detailed questions, so he couldn't very well not answer, could he?

"Hmm." Fang Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"I heard that after you came here to take office, you overruled objections and refused to allow a new energy vehicle company to set up operations here?" Fang Yu then asked.

"Uh, that's true." Yang Wen's heart skipped a beat. Just how much research did Fang Yu do before coming here?

How come you know everything?

"What were your initial thoughts? Why did you oppose this? This was something that Zhang Lichun and others worked hard for over a year to achieve, right?" Fang Yu asked Yang Wen with interest.

"My initial thought was that Feiyu New Energy Vehicle Company had received relatively little funding, and car manufacturing is a money-burning business; a mere few billion yuan probably wouldn't be enough to cover the costs in a year."

“At the time, they mainly wanted us to invest in the company and offered us interest-free loans. I felt the risk was too high, so I didn’t agree with the plan.”

"Finally, I would like to suggest that if you do not offer equity investment or interest-free loans, but only low-interest loans with related preferential policies, I would be very happy to accept them."

"But in the end, the company didn't consider it," Yang Wen said frankly.

Fang Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Mm."

Yang Wen noticed that the other person neither nodded in agreement with his approach nor said that his approach was wrong, which left him wondering what the other person was thinking.

Whether it's good or bad is very important to him.

But it's frustrating when the boss doesn't say anything!

But considering that the other party had done so much preparation before coming down, it seemed that whether the other party's attitude was good or bad was basically a done deal for me.

The more you explain at this time, the worse it gets!

"I also heard something else. Not long after you took office, you made a rather big decision: all medium and large-scale municipal and government projects in the area would be awarded to businessmen from other places, not local ones. Zhang Lichun and a few others were quite opposed to this, weren't they?"

What is your starting point?

"Why do we do this?" Fang Yu asked Yang Wen again.

"This measure is mainly aimed at rectifying the local atmosphere. Throughout Liuhai City, from top to bottom, those local businessmen love to offer sugar-coated bullets..."

Then Yang Wen explained in detail what the local businessmen had done.

"Comrade Sun Zhenhai and I thought and thought but we couldn't come up with a good solution. In the end, we had no choice but to resort to this method as a last resort."

"Although this method will have some impact on local economic consumption, we have no other choice. Several of us on the Standing Committee had a big argument about it, but in the end, more than 60% of the Standing Committee members agreed with my proposal, so it was implemented this way," Yang Wen said frankly.

Hearing this, Fang Yu finally smiled: "The kind of atmosphere you mentioned is indeed very bad. If it is not thoroughly rectified, it will be very bad for the overall business environment and the working environment of cadres."

"While this method does come at a certain cost, it's understandable given your perspective!"

"If it were me, I probably would have done the same thing!"

"Well done!" Fang Yu praised Yang Wen for the first time.

Previously, the other party did not praise him when they heard that he had brought in a precision casting company worth 200 billion yuan to settle in the area.

But the other party actually praised me for this!

Yang Wen was somewhat flattered!

This leader does seem to be someone who focuses on the issue, not the person!

"What's the situation in Taohai County?"

"You forcibly raised 7 million yuan for Taohai County before, which must have put a lot of pressure on you! There must have been some objections, right?" Fang Yu asked with a smile.

"The pressure is immense!"

"However, the situation in Taohai County is very complicated."

"The social atmosphere in Taohai County is even more serious and deteriorating. Coupled with historical issues, not only is the economy poor, but everything else is extremely complicated..."

"At that time, Comrade Zhang Gui proposed a plan to me and asked for my help!"

"That means developing the economy first, and then dealing with the complex issues of social atmosphere and various legacy problems."

"After all, with a bad economy, everything else is just empty talk."

"But in order to avoid problems with the atmosphere and to avoid being swallowed up by some local forces in the shadows, he advocated building a new industrial and agricultural park. He would personally manage this industrial park and attract investment from the outside world, while not allowing local businessmen to settle here, just to prevent..." Yang Wen then explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Fang Yu smiled approvingly and said, "Hmm, that's a good method. You and Zhang Gui are both very bold, but you haven't crossed any boundaries!"

"A complex situation like that of Taohai County definitely requires special handling and development!"

"Your decision to strongly recommend someone to serve as the county magistrate of Taohai County was correct."

"It's clear now that Zhang Gui hasn't disappointed you yet. If he can boost the economy of Taohai County, he'll be a valuable asset!" Fang Yu praised him for the second time.

Hearing this, Yang Wen still couldn't figure out what Fang Yu meant.

Praise?

This is normal.

He believes that everything he has done since stepping down has been for the sake of economic development and people's livelihood.

"Are there people who object to the 7 million figure?" Fang Yu asked.

“A small number of comrades objected, after all, our Liuhai City itself was under great economic pressure. At that time, I was also facing tremendous pressure. In fact, some districts couldn’t hold on and even had to take out bank loans,” Yang Wen said frankly.

"Ha ha!"

"It's normal to feel pressure, but you're determined to develop Taohai County despite the pressure."

"Was Comrade Zhang Lichun also one of the opponents back then?" Fang Yu asked, squinting his eyes.

what?

Does this person have some opinion or view on Zhang Lichun?

"to be honest."

"Well, he was indeed one of the opponents."

"Who else?"

"And..." Yang Wen finally revealed the names of the few people who had objected.

When a leader asks a question, it naturally reveals their intentions.

But what the other person is thinking is not important; what is important is that he cannot hide anything.

"Ok!"

Fang Yu nodded slightly.

However, Fang Yu repeatedly asked himself if Zhang Lichun was involved.

It seems that this leader most likely knows that Zhang Lichun is Feng Shangru's man.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked that question.

But even if you know, you shouldn't tell me, right?

Or does the other party also know that Feng Shangru is ostracizing them?

Yes, they should know!
