Chapter 167 The Task Given by Lei Yaohua
After the county's year-end summary meeting, Lei Yaohua called Qi Tongwei to his office.
"Tongwei, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. In just six months, Biyun Township has achieved this result."
Lei Yaohua was genuinely happy. He had sent Qi Tongwei to Biyun Township early on to clean up the mess.
At that time, a systemic corruption scandal broke out in Biyun Township, leaving only three members of the fourteen-member party and government leadership team.
As it turned out, Qi Tongwei was very good at cleaning up messes, and he quickly won over the officials in Biyun Township and stabilized the situation.
"Secretary, this is the result of the joint efforts of all the cadres in Biyun Township!"
Qi Tongwei dared not take credit for it; he couldn't have achieved such results by himself.
Although he was in charge, it required the cooperation and efforts of others.
"No need to be modest. Your achievements are your achievements, and no one can take them away from you."
Between Qi Tongwei and Chen Xinghua, Lei Yaohua favored Qi Tongwei more.
After all, Qi Tongwei was able to come up with suitable ways to develop the business under very poor conditions and still achieve good results.
The development of Gushanling Township was all thanks to the ideas and actions of Qi Tongwei.
Moreover, Qi Tongwei will not be discouraged by his fall from grace.
In comparison, Chen Xinghua was somewhat less capable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been stumped by the cement plant's inventory.
In the end, it was Qi Tongwei who gave him an idea, and Chen Xinghua was able to solve the problem.
The reason Chen Xinghua was brought to Yunmeng County was because he needed someone of his own here.
Chen Xinghua is quite capable and obedient, making him a good candidate.
That's why he brought Chen Xinghua to Yunmeng County and promoted him to deputy county head, member of the county party committee standing committee, and director of the county party committee office.
Lei Yaohua risked offending Liang Qunfeng, the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, to transfer Qi Tongwei from Xingfu Reservoir to serve as the mayor of Biyun Township in Yunmeng County.
It was all so that Qi Tongwei would produce good results for him.
Lei Yaohua had a feeling that if he made good use of Qi Tongwei, he could also be promoted to deputy director level like Jin Yang.
He might even rise to the position of a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee in one fell swoop.
Qi Tongwei scratched his head sheepishly.
"Tongwei, Gushanling Township has achieved remarkable results this year: GDP of 5670 million yuan, a growth rate of 122.88%, and fiscal revenue of 327.6 million yuan, a growth rate of 110%."
I hope that Biyun Township's GDP can reach this figure next year.
Lei Yaohua looked at Qi Tongwei and said that Biyun Township's target to the county was a GDP of 3500 million and fiscal revenue of 500 million.
This target seems quite high, considering that Biyun Township's GDP this year is only 1643.85 million yuan, requiring a growth of 112.91% to achieve it.
But Lei Yaohua felt that the goal was easy to achieve. He estimated that the agricultural sector alone would generate 1000 million yuan, which was a rather conservative estimate.
In fact, Biyun Township's GDP from agriculture may reach over ten million or even twenty million next year.
After all, the value of crayfish and fish has not yet been fully realized.
As for industry and commerce, Qi Tongwei couldn't just leave the local businesses unattended.
After all, this is a major contributor to GDP growth, and it's easy to generate around ten million in GDP.
It can also increase the tax revenue of Biyun Township.
There was also encouragement for people to open shops and do business. Qi Tongwei vigorously promoted this in Gushanling Township, when he was just a deputy township head.
Now, as the township head, Qi Tongwei will pay even more attention to this area.
In other words, the target of 3500 million GDP is easily achievable.
Moreover, Biyun Township has a trading company that makes a lot of money.
If half of the profits earned by the trading company are invested in Biyun Township, the GDP target of 5670 million can be easily achieved.
"Secretary, you think too highly of me!"
The GDP target of 5670 million is too high!
"I can work hard at a GDP of 4000 million, but a GDP of 5670 million? You couldn't achieve that even if you squeezed me dry!"
Qi Tongwei shook his head and said that the goal Lei Yaohua set was not unattainable, but it was certainly not easy.
Besides, that would be too high-profile.
He's only a township head now; even if he were promoted, he could only become the Party Secretary.
Qi Tongwei would be quite happy to complete such a task after he becomes the Party Secretary.
With such achievements, he might be promoted to deputy director level and become a member of the county party committee standing committee.
But that would be very difficult; Liang Lu wouldn't let him be promoted to deputy director so easily.
Previously in Yantaishan County, Qi Tongwei had the support of Jin Yang, Lei Yaohua, and Luo Chengcai, and he could be promoted if he did well.
Now, with Lei Yaohua's support in Yunmeng County, one can be promoted if they do a good job, but only from township head to party secretary.
The next promotion will most likely be from Party Secretary to Director of a major bureau in the county.
In this era, the head of a county-level bureau is considered more powerful than the party secretary of a township.
"Tongwei, you must believe in yourself, just go for it boldly."
Besides, you're not short of funds. If you invest a lot of money, maybe the goal I mentioned is even a bit low.
Xinghua told me that trading companies are very profitable.
Chen Xinghua had already told him about the trading company; Biyun Township might be wealthier than the county next year.
"You knew all along?"
Secretary, I apologize to you. I should have reported the matter of the trading company to you sooner!
But in order to get the trading company on track as quickly as possible, I led a team to Lingnan for two months, and then it was December. I was busy wrapping up various tasks and forgot about it.
Qi Tongwei said apologetically that he should have reported the trading company's affairs to Lei Yaohua earlier.
I was just too busy and forgot.
Of course, there was also the concern that the county would ask him for money.
After all, the county is short of money, and 500 million is not a small amount for the county.
"You didn't forget because you were busy; you were just worried I'd ask you for money."
Don't worry, the county won't ask you for money for now. Just focus on developing Biyun Township.
At the current rate of development, Gushanling Township's GDP will reach 80 to 90 million next year, and will definitely exceed 100 million the year after.
We cannot fall behind either; Biyun Township aims to achieve a GDP of over 100 million yuan by the year after next.
If possible, we should get our hands on the 100 million yuan township project first.
Next June, Xinghua will no longer serve as the Party Secretary of Biyun Township, and I will let you take over.
"As long as Biyun Township first achieves a GDP of over 100 million, I will help you take it a step further!"
Lei Yaohua knew that he had to give Qi Tongwei an irresistible benefit for him to work hard.
The next step he mentioned wasn't being transferred to a major bureau in the county as director, but rather being promoted to deputy director level.
Lei Yaohua wanted Qi Tongwei to develop Biyun Township into a township with an annual output value of 100 million yuan ahead of time in order to secure a deputy director-level position in advance.
If Yunmeng County first develops a township with an annual output value of 100 million yuan, then his promotion to deputy director level will be no problem at all.
"Thank you for your guidance, Secretary!"
I'm confident that Biyun Township's GDP will exceed 100 million yuan by the year after next, but it will be very difficult to catch up with Gushanling Township.
After all, the vegetable company and mountain product processing plant in Gushanling Township earned 30 million yuan from stock subscription certificates.
With most of the money turned over, that's 20 million yuan. With an investment of 20 million yuan, Gushanling Township has already laid a solid foundation this year.
If we put in the effort next year, we might reach a GDP of 100 million.
Even if I give it my all next year, the GDP will only reach a maximum of 60 million.
Qi Tongwei said that Biyun Township does not have the same foundation as Gushanling Township, otherwise he could have achieved a GDP of 100 million yuan next year.
"Moreover, it will be difficult for you to promote me to a higher position, as Liang Lu, the daughter of Secretary Liang Qunfeng, has been keeping an eye on me!"
Promotion from section chief to deputy director requires a decision from the city government, and Qi Tongwei was unsure whether Lei Yaohua's connections in the city could help him get promoted smoothly.
"There will always be difficulties, but as long as you achieve results, you will definitely attract the attention of those above!"
Besides, you don't need to worry, Secretary Liang can't decide everything.
Even the provincial party secretary cannot make all the decisions in Handong, let alone Liang Qunfeng, the provincial political and legal affairs secretary.
The same goes for Yantai City; not everyone there is Liang Qunfeng's person.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that!"
I can't guarantee that we'll reach the 1 million GDP target before Gushanling Township, but I can guarantee we won't lag behind them for long!
Now that Lei Yaohua had reassured him, Qi Tongwei naturally stopped being hesitant.
