The Official Ladder: I ascend to the pinnacle of power, wielding the power of life and death.

"Brother Jiang's point is very important. I have visited other electronics factories. Many electronics factories became rich overnight after making a hit product, but they did not pay any attention to subsequent development. As a result, they disappeared within a year or two. On the other hand, those large factories that have existed for decades attach great importance to R&D personnel and invest a high percentage of their funds in R&D. They are able to continuously launch new products and gain the favor and pursuit of consumers."

Long Shaolin nodded, agreeing with Jiang Yiming's words.

"Thank you for your suggestions, leaders. We will humbly accept them and increase our investment in research and development. Please feel free to give us any further suggestions you may have in the future."

Du Hongwei laughed.

"If you want to expand, have you reserved enough space?"

Jiang Yiming asked, "If a company wants to grow and expand, it must leave enough room for development in the surrounding area; otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble later on."

“We have discussed it with Standing Committee Member Long. He will reserve that piece of land in the south for us. Once our funds are back by the end of the year, we will lease that land and then decide whether to expand based on market feedback.”

Du Hongwei laughed and said, "Brother Jiang, many of these issues were discussed by a group of us, and you, as an administrator, were able to pinpoint the crux of the matter in just a few words. That's truly remarkable."

“If I weren’t afraid that we ordinary people would lose such a good cadre like you, I would really like to bring you into the business and do business with me. With you on board, our business will definitely be bigger and stronger.”

"I only know the basics."

Jiang Yiming shook his head.

In his previous life, he only ran a few clinics and wasn't very familiar with business.

But having memories of his past life, he still understands the general direction of various industries.

In addition, as an administrative manager, he often visits and conducts research, and communicates with corporate executives and business elites. Over time, he naturally learns more.

"Brother Jiang is a humble person."

Long Shaolin laughed and said, "He not only doesn't flaunt his wealth, but he also doesn't flaunt his talent."

Everyone chatted and laughed, and that evening they were seated in the internal canteen of Wang Lin's Jiuzhou Group.

Food and drink are things that ordinary people can't even dream of.

The price of a meal is more than an average person could earn in a year of hard work.

The next morning, Jiang Yiming rushed to the municipal government and knocked directly on the door of the office of Zhu Jun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor.

"Secretary Yiming, you've come at the right time. Let's go to the small conference room first and have a meeting to discuss how to carry out the research and supervision work."

Zhu Jun said, "Although the government office has written a plan, I think it would be difficult to find problems if we follow such a plan in such a short time."

Jiang Yiming took the plan and looked at it. The general process was that Mayor Zhu would lead them to inspect various counties and districts, and each county and district would select a location for them to supervise and inspect on-site.

In this situation, the counties and districts to be inspected will naturally make arrangements in advance, and what they see will certainly be places without any problems.

"I also feel that this method is not very meaningful; going is the same as not going at all."

Jiang Yiming nodded in agreement.

"Yes, everyone is quite busy. We take a week to conduct research and supervision, but after a week, we can't find any problems. Isn't that a complete waste of time?"

Zhu Jun said, "So, I plan to have everyone sit down together and discuss again how we should proceed after we go down to the counties and districts."

"They've all arrived. Let's go to the small conference room and talk more."

Jiang Yiming followed Zhu Jun to the small conference room.

There were already more than a dozen people seated in the conference room.

The group included Lin Guo, deputy director of the municipal government office and deputy director of the leading group office for optimizing the business environment, as well as Lu Hansheng, head of the supervision team, and Wang Lifeng, a member of the general office.

After half a month of reassignment, the Leading Group for Optimizing the Business Environment is now fully staffed. If it doesn't produce some results, everyone will lose face, and Secretary Wei Shanghua will definitely reprimand people.

Jiang Yiming greeted Lin Guo and the others, and then sat down one after another.

"Everyone has arrived, so let's have a brief meeting, and then we'll go down to investigate and supervise."

Zhu Jun said, "According to the plan, we need to conduct spot checks in various counties and districts. The locations for the spot checks are provided by the counties and districts, which creates opportunities for them to falsify data. However, we are short on time and have a heavy workload this time. We don't have time to waste too much time to understand the details. So, we need to go there to grasp the key points, find the right direction, and discover the problems in the shortest possible time."

"To this end, I have discussed with both Deputy Directors Lin Guo and Yi Ming. We need to change our approach. As for how to do it, we should brainstorm and come up with effective suggestions."

After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he called on a few young people and asked them to come up with ideas.

The young people were all talented and offered several good suggestions.

Finally, it was Jiang Yiming's and Lin Guo's turn. Lin Guo was a city-level cadre, so Jiang Yiming spoke first and Lin Guo finished.

"Everyone's comments and suggestions were excellent. I'll refine everyone's ideas a bit more. If there are any shortcomings, I welcome Mayor Zhu, Director Lin, and everyone here to offer their corrections."

Jiang Yiming said, "I suggest we stick to the plan, since it has already been issued and it wouldn't be good not to implement it. However, we can break down the tasks. For example, Mayor Zhu can be in charge of drawing attention and continue the tour according to the plan, while Director Lin and I will each lead a team to check the materials and conduct on-site inspections."

"By examining their materials, we can see whether they convened meetings to convey and study the spirit of Secretary Wei's speech, whether they formed special teams, whether they compiled lists and collected questions, etc. Therefore, by reviewing the materials, we can also identify some problems."

"Of course, on-site inspections can better reflect the problems. You can go to their service windows to see if it is easy for companies to apply for relevant procedures, and you can also talk to those companies to see if there are any cases of extortion or bribery."

"These are my general thoughts. I welcome Mayor Zhu and everyone's feedback."

"Director Yiming's idea is good."

Zhu Jun looked at Lin Guodao and said, "Director Lin, what are your thoughts?"

“I strongly agree with Director Yiming’s opinion. This model can not only avoid interference from various counties and districts, but also improve efficiency. Most importantly, it can uncover the true situation.”

Lin Guo said with a smile.

"I personally agree with Director Yiming's plan. Since everyone has no objections, let's proceed according to Director Yiming's suggestion."

Zhu Jun said, "Now I'll assign the tasks. Director Lin Guo will lead the team to check the documents. Director Yi Ming will lead the team to conduct unannounced on-site investigations. I will lead the team to deal with the heads of various counties and districts and attract their attention."

"We will strive to ensure the effective implementation of our work through high-quality supervision and inspection, so that we can report back to Secretary Wei."

The meeting lasted for an hour, and at 9:30, everyone set off for their first stop, Dongchuan County.

Jiang Yiming asked Zhu Jun for permission to travel to Dongchuan County alone with a group of people, splitting up with Zhu Jun and his team to see the real situation.
