At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

After the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee concluded, all attendees quickly left the meeting room.

Heads of provincial departments should promptly organize personnel to revise or issue relevant documents concerning their departmental responsibilities, in accordance with the spirit of the meeting.

The principal leaders of each district, county, and city should convene a meeting as soon as possible to convey the spirit of the meeting and, in light of the actual conditions of each district, county, and city, implement the thirteen tasks that Lin Yi deployed at the meeting.

If they do a good job, grassroots staff will receive more bonuses and salary increases, and they will have the opportunity to be promoted. If they do not do a good job, all the rewards will be out of the question, and they will have to make way for each other.

No one doubted Lin Yi's words.

Lin Yi is not only the Party Secretary of Linzhou City, but also the Deputy Party Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He has a great deal of influence over the appointment and removal of cadres not only under the jurisdiction of Linzhou City, but also under the jurisdiction of the province.

Moreover, Lin Yi is not just an enhanced version of the provincial party committee's No. 3 bigwig.

In an instant, everyone was eager to get started, turning pressure into motivation and preparing to make a big splash!

Mayor Qin Siyan then arrived at Lin Yi's office.

Last Friday, after taking office, she consulted Lin Yi about her work. Lin Yi discussed economic plans with her, but it was far less comprehensive and detailed than what was discussed in today's meeting.

This made her question about Linzhou's future industrial development plan, so she specifically came to Lin Yi for advice: "Secretary Lin, you mentioned actively striving to establish a national artificial intelligence research center and the China Artificial Intelligence Alliance, building an artificial intelligence industrial park, and developing the upstream and downstream industrial chain of artificial intelligence. Does this mean that artificial intelligence is one of the most important industries in Linzhou's future?"

"Comrade Siyan, artificial intelligence is not only one of the most important industries in Linzhou in the future, but it will also become one of the most important industries in the country and even the world, and will trigger a new round of global technological revolution."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Linzhou's rise is not now, but in the future. Therefore, I have formulated a development plan for Linzhou that leverages its advantages in the digital economy, addresses its shortcomings in advanced manufacturing, and lays out future industries, so that it can achieve a leapfrog development after the explosion of artificial intelligence!"

"I understand."

Qin Siyan nodded solemnly.

Although she didn't know why Lin Yi was so optimistic about artificial intelligence, she had no doubt about his judgment.

Lin Yi gave instructions: "Comrade Siyan, I will personally oversee the work on planning future industries. In the near future, you should focus on two main tasks: the construction progress of major projects and investment promotion. The former is related to the completion of our relevant economic targets. Moreover, if we complete some infrastructure projects ahead of schedule, we can continue to strive for new projects from the province and the state. Investment promotion requires the participation of all cadres in the city, with members of the municipal party committee taking the lead. Tasks and responsibilities should be assigned to specific individuals, and concrete plans should be developed as soon as possible."

"Yes, Secretary Lin." Qin Siyan accepted the order, feeling as if the burden on her shoulders had been halved.

Because there are no successful cases or experiences in the future industries, she is somewhat hesitant to take charge of them, but other tasks are much easier for her.

After taking notes, Qin Siyan asked, "By the way, Secretary Lin, are you going to attend the citywide private economy symposium tomorrow as planned?"

"The plan remains unchanged. Have someone give Mr. Ma of Damo Group a heads-up in advance. I want to speak with him privately after the meeting tomorrow."

Lin Yi nodded slightly.

Besides today's meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee to optimize key tasks for the year, the symposium on the private economy is one of the meetings that Lin Yi attaches the most importance to.

On the one hand, Jianghai is a major province for private enterprises, and Linzhou needs private enterprises to grow bigger and stronger if it wants to develop rapidly.

On the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Ma Cong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Damo Group.

Damo Group is a flagship enterprise in Linzhou and Jianghai, one of the leading private enterprises in my country, and one of the most important players in my country's artificial intelligence industry in the future.

Lin Yi wants to develop the artificial intelligence industry to help the country's scientific and technological innovation and the development of Linzhou, and he needs the help of Damo Group.

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

The Linzhou Municipal Private Economy Symposium was successfully held in the Municipal Party Committee Auditorium.

In addition to private entrepreneurs from all walks of life in Linzhou, members of the municipal government leadership team and key officials from relevant provincial departments such as the Municipal Finance Bureau, Development and Reform Commission, and Industry and Information Technology Bureau attended the meeting.

Executive Vice Mayor Fan Zhiqiang presided over the meeting. Six private entrepreneurs, including Ma Cong from Damo Group, spoke in turn. Mayor Qin Siyan introduced the economic development of Linzhou City and related economic policies. Lin Yi delivered an important speech, signaling that the Linzhou Municipal Party Committee is fully supporting the development of the private economy.

After the meeting, Ma Cong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Damo Group, was taken to Lin Yi's office by his secretary, Li Houfa.

"Secretary Lin."

Ma Cong showed great respect when he met Lin Yi.

Although he had met many provincial and ministerial-level leaders, he knew that Lin Yi was different.

Lin Yi is not only the Party Secretary of Linzhou and the Deputy Party Secretary of Jianghai, but also has a powerful background and a bright future. He is the pinnacle of deputy provincial-level leaders!

"Mr. Ma, please have a seat."

Lin Yi warmly welcomed Ma Cong and sat with him on the sofa in the reception area. After his secretary had made tea for Ma Cong, he said, "Mr. Ma, Damo Group is a flagship private enterprise in Linzhou and Jianghai. The development of Damo Group is closely related to the development of Linzhou. I invited you to my office specifically to hear about Damo Group's future development plans."

"Thank you, Secretary Lin, for recognizing and affirming the Damo Group."

Ma Cong smiled and thanked him, then launched into a long and eloquent speech: "Secretary Lin, Damo Group will pursue diversified development with e-commerce, fintech, and Damo Cloud as its main businesses..."

"Mr. Ma, speaking of fintech, I remember you once said that if banks don't change, Damo Group will change banks, right?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

Ma Cong also laughed and said, "Secretary Lin, it's too easy for banks in our country to make money, and some of the bank's regulations don't meet the needs of the times. That's why Damo Group proposed financial innovation to force banks to reform."

"Mr. Ma, over the years, you have indeed forced banks to make some changes, and some of these changes have benefited ordinary people."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, first acknowledging the achievements of the Damo Group, then changed the subject, saying, "But whether it's the Damo Group or any other group, none of them can truly change the banking industry. Especially your idea of ​​using the guise of fintech to change the banking industry through online lending and other business models is just wishful thinking."

Ma Cong's smile froze on his face; he sensed something was wrong.

"Mr. Ma, I'm not exaggerating, but if Damo Group doesn't change its development strategy, it might be Damo Group that gets changed in the future."

Lin Yi said in a serious tone, "In addition, Hengyuan Group, the last company to propose a diversified development strategy and aspire to become the number one real estate company in the country, has gone bankrupt. Hengyuan Group's chairman, Shen Wancai, is currently under investigation by relevant departments and will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Whether Damo Group should pursue diversified development next needs to be decided carefully."

"Secretary Lin, thank you for your reminder. Please enlighten me!"

Ma Cong felt Lin Yi's rebuke and was instantly startled, breaking out in a cold sweat. He quickly lowered his posture and asked Lin Yi for advice.

Because he knew very well that Hengyuan Group's bankruptcy and Shen Wancai's imprisonment were both Lin Yi's doing!

If he dares to ignore Lin Yi's reminders and warnings, Lin Yi will make him understand in no time whether this country is socialist or capitalist!

At the same time, he also remembered what Lin Yi said at the beginning—the development of Damo Group is closely related to the development of Linzhou, and the two are deeply intertwined!

Under these circumstances, he believed that Lin Yi's private conversation with him today was not to target the Damo Group, but to make the Damo Group's development serve the development of Linzhou!

"Mr. Ma, I believe that not competing with the people for profits and giving back to the people as much as possible is the bottom line for the development of Damo Group. Contributing to national scientific and technological innovation and serving the country's new era development pattern is the development mission of Damo Group."

Lin Yi paused here, staring sharply at Ma Cong, "If you approve of me, then I can give you three specific suggestions for development."

"Secretary Lin, your words have been a revelation. The Damo Group will definitely adhere to a bottom-line mentality and shoulder its responsibilities in its future development. Please offer your guidance and suggestions for the Group's development." Ma Cong is a smart man; he realized the seriousness of the problem, which also confirmed his earlier judgment—Lin Yi wasn't targeting the Damo Group specifically, but rather trying to save the ailing Damo Group!

"Exploring overseas markets will serve as a model for Chinese enterprises going global."

Based on the digital economy, leveraging the data resources and R&D advantages of the DAMO Group, we are fully committed to developing artificial intelligence, contributing to national scientific and technological innovation, and uniting with internet technology giants such as Huayin Company, Zhongwei Company, Tencent, and ByteDance to form the Huaxia Artificial Intelligence Alliance, leading a new round of global technological revolution.

We are investing in Qinghu University, which was recently established in Linzhou City, and are committed to building it into a world-class private university to cultivate new-era scientific and technological talents for the country!

Lin Yi slowly opened his mouth and offered three suggestions.

Ma Cong nodded quickly and said, "Secretary Lin, thank you for your development suggestions for Damo Group. Damo Group will seriously consider your suggestions. However, regarding the establishment of the China Artificial Intelligence Alliance to help the country's scientific and technological innovation, we need the cooperation of other enterprises..."

"Within three months, I will work with the municipal party committee to resolve three issues: cooperation with enterprises, technical support from universities and research institutions, and support from national policies!" Lin Yi interrupted Ma Cong, his tone resolute.

"Thank you, Secretary Lin!"

Ma Cong immediately stood up, bowed in gratitude, and was deeply moved.

because.

Only at the very end did he realize that Lin Yi had spoken to him to ask the Damo Group to contribute to national scientific and technological innovation and serve national development!

As for helping Linzhou's development, that's just a side effect, a matter of killing two birds with one stone!

This vision greatly impressed Ma Cong, and it also allowed him to predict the final outcome of the peak competition, leading him to decide to cling tightly to Lin Yi's coattails and never let go!
