Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 771: First Meeting with Shi Yanan (2)

The mutual flattery between the two made the people sitting beside them secretly clap their thighs red.

Only then did they realize that this young man was actually the mayor of Beishan City, which was currently in the limelight in Hanjiang.

They should have thought of it earlier. To be able to enter Pei Yihong's No. 1 official residence, how low could his rank be? I'm afraid the lowest is the department level.

Isn’t this the only case of such a young department-level official in the entire province?

While waiting, the two sat next to each other. After some pleasantries, under Shi Yanan's deliberate guidance, the two sides exchanged their governing experiences.

Qi Tongwei was naturally very happy.

As the youngest female senior cadre and the youngest female mayor in the province, Shi Yanan's ability and political skills are beyond doubt.

In just a short while, Qi Tongwei felt a sudden enlightenment, and gained a lot. Many problems that had troubled him during his administration suddenly became clear and received clear answers.

This feeling was unprecedented for Qi Tongwei. Although he had experienced a lot of learning and growth since entering the official career, this was the first time he had felt such a clear improvement in his vision from the bottom of his heart.

Even when communicating with some provincial leaders, he did not have this obvious feeling. Many times he could not even understand their concepts, intentions and plans.

He thought that this was probably due to the fact that everyone was at different heights and had different perspectives.

Just like he discusses development with the county and district heads below.

These county and district heads will instinctively consider issues from the perspective of their districts and counties.

For example, when it comes to attracting investment, Qi Tongwei's idea is naturally to divide each district and county into sections, and let each of them clench their fists and specialize in one area.

But from their perspective, as long as it can develop, it's fine. They will bring in any industry that can make money. As for the environment and supporting facilities, they will take it one step at a time.

Isn’t that what happened in Guying Town back then? Qi Tongwei developed the mining industry, planting and breeding, and also integrated entertainment. It was simply a big pot.

Now that I think about it, I was really lucky to have made it back then.

In the next few years, it would be strange if this development model, which anyone can copy and paste, does not fail.

Ultimately, it is the location that limits the vision.

This is also why there is a National Development and Reform Commission and macro-control at the top, because we can see a broader picture from above.

Shi Yanan and Qi Tongwei are both mayors of a city. They have similar visions, but Shi Yanan has more experience, especially her female thinking, and is obviously more delicate in governing.

When the other party breaks down their own governing ideas and shares them, it spreads out like a trickle of water.

This is like a classmate of the same grade solving a problem for you. Standing at the same height, he or she can help you understand it better than the teacher.

Qi Tongwei felt that he benefited a lot, and Shi Yanan also felt that he gained a lot. Qi Tongwei's strength is economics, to put it bluntly, it is a money-making mindset.

His God's perspective far surpassing that of modern people, his previous marketing experience, and his systematic network of contacts have made him invincible today.

Others may not know about his personal connections, but some of the ideas he mentioned, which are common in later generations, are refreshing to Shi Yanan.

Just like Qi Tongwei's idea of ​​emphasizing publicity, guidance, creating business opportunities, attracting large companies, and supporting the development of small businesses, Shi Yanan felt very inspired.

In the past, their development focus was on various promotional meetings, investment conferences, and drinking parties, using the clumsy method of high-ranking officials attracting high-ranking merchants and low-ranking officials attracting low-ranking merchants.

As for the effect, in the end it all depends on your own strength.

With good infrastructure, convenient transportation and high preferential policies, bosses naturally flocked to the area. Pingzhou, for example, reaped the full benefits.

But the vicious competition behind it cannot be concealed.

In order to attract investment, whether it is competition between cities or competition between counties, everyone is working hard.

The preferential policies offered are lower than one another, and the promises are heavier than one another.

If you dare to offer tax exemption for three years, three connections and one levelling, I dare to offer tax exemption for five years, eight connections and one levelling.

They increase the pressure layer by layer just to pull the boss into their territory, even using threats and inducements, using every possible means.

In the end, the bosses made money and the officials also made money, but the actual local fiscal revenue did not increase much.

It also gave rise to some bosses who took advantage of preferential policies to engage in price wars in the market, and then moved to other places as soon as the new year came.

The moving expenses are nothing compared to the taxes paid in recent years.

But Qi Tongwei's model does not require this. He creates business opportunities, and uses these business opportunities to attract high-quality companies that truly want to develop. If companies want to make money, they have to move in. This not only brings huge tax revenue to the local area, but also allows the entire market to enter a virtuous cycle.

For example, when Longteng Group received billions of funds last year, Qi Tongwei launched an overwhelming publicity campaign.

To convey to the market and the business community the illusion that Beishan is about to take off.

Some businessmen smelled business opportunities and rushed in to buy land. The wasteland that was originally ignored was listed by Qi Tongwei as a certain industrial park under construction, a certain development zone under construction, and a certain luxury real estate project. He raised the price and the land was quickly sold out.

The government uses the proceeds from land sales to invest in construction and development, forming a perfect closed loop.

Shi Yanan admired him very much, "Mayor Qi, I have to say, your method of getting something for nothing is really brilliant.

First, use the credibility and authority of the municipal government and provincial media to promote the idea, and then recruit some bosses who are unaware of the situation to give you money.

Then they use their money to build for you, which in turn attracts a second wave of investors who wait and see, driving up the value of the place. This cycle repeats, and you get a steady stream of investment. It's absolutely amazing."

After expressing his admiration, he pointed out the potential risks and loopholes, “But aren’t you afraid of a sudden change in the wind direction, or someone exposing your tricks in public?

You know, once credibility disappears, it will be very difficult to attract investment in the future, because no boss will accept a place that treats them like fools."

Qi Tongwei spread his hands and said, "Mayor Shi, if that's the case, we're just unlucky."

Shi Yanan didn't believe it, "Everyone says you are the best cadre in Handong, I think you must have a way."

Qi Tongwei seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "If Mayor Shi encountered this situation, how would you handle it?"

Shi Yanan thought for a moment and said, "I think I will continue to increase publicity and mobilize the main leaders of the municipal party committee to come out and publicly refute the rumors."

Qi Tongwei nodded and commented: "This method can only be said to be standard."

Shi Yanan straightened his posture and looked at Qi Tongwei seriously: "Please teach me."

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Forget it. This method is not acceptable. You will laugh at me if I tell you about it."

Shi Yanan said: "How can it be a joke? Didn't that person say that in reform, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat."
