Lu Weimin, who has the memory of his past life, attaches great importance to the continuation of this kind of personal connections, and China is a country that attaches great importance to etiquette. The kind of behavior that usually does not burn incense and improvise will not only have no good effect, but will be looked down upon.

Those who are officials are warned.

For a Chinese official, the depth of personal connections often determines how far and high he can go. This is not only reflected in political points, but more profoundly in economic work. Perhaps

Some connections may not play a role in your promotion, but they can contribute to your work performance.

Regarding the issues of the Western Song Expressway, the Songyi Expressway, and the Songqiu Expressway, Lu Weimin paid a special visit to Duan Zijun and sought Duan Zijun's support.

Duan Zijun did not take many substantive actions. He only needed to make a gesture to express concern about the progress of Changjiang Expressway construction, or express his hope that the construction of Changjiang Expressway would take greater steps and take more actions on a certain occasion.

Faster, that's enough.

The political sense of leaders in China's officialdom is more sensitive than any hunting dog. Duan Zijun, as an old leader of the former Central Advisory Committee, has long faded out of politics, but as time goes by, the old leaders wither and grow old, satisfying some of their needs

The last wish is also a necessary action for the leader. The most obvious ones are the requests made by some old leaders before they die, such as building a road in their hometown, fighting for a project, or even changing the county into a city, etc.

Lu Weimin was not sure how effective Duan Zijun's efforts were in getting the three expressways approved by the National Development and Planning Commission and the Ministry of Transport with extremely high efficiency.

Of these three highways, the West-Song Expressway has already started construction, and the Song-Yi Expressway has also entered the critical stage of pre-construction. It is expected to officially start construction in November. The Song-Qiu Expressway has already received project approval and is expected to officially start construction next year.

Half a year has passed.

The mixed investment entities formed by foreign capital, state capital, and private capital on these three highways are themselves full of controversy.

This controversy has many aspects. On the one hand, it is believed that this mixed economy embodies China's future development direction. For this reason, Lu Weimin also published signed and unsigned articles in many magazines and newspapers to advocate for this economic model.

Others are full of vigilance, believing that foreign capital and private capital have entered the field of infrastructure construction involving national security, which requires a high degree of vigilance. This situation needs to be curbed to prevent important areas from being controlled by foreign capital and private capital.

This topic even involves the status and role of foreign capital and private capital in the entire national economic system, and debates in this area have never stopped since the reform and opening up.

Therefore, the approval progress of these expressway projects was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but in the end it was faster. At least it was much faster than the same type of projects in other provinces at the same time. This may be the power of Duan Zijun.

The reason why nirvana becomes nirvana is that it cannot be commonly used, otherwise it cannot be called nirvana. For example, the Lieshan 500,000-ton coal-to-methanol project is also a joint venture project, but it is controlled by a state-owned enterprise. In this regard

It was much easier to talk to him, especially with the support of the province, so Lu Weimin had no intention of asking Mr. Duan to come out again, and instead approached Liu Bin.

The relationship between Liu Bin and Lu Weimin has surpassed that of Cao Lang's brother-in-law. The two often communicate on the phone. Whenever Lu Weimin comes to Beijing, or Liu Bin comes to Changchun, they both have to meet, mainly to discuss some economic views and national macroeconomics.

Some insights on economic trends are discussed.

Liu Bin was especially interested in Lu Weimin's brief views on some specific economic fields, such as the newly emerging Internet field. Lu Weimin asserted that the development and emergence of the Internet will bring profound changes to the world. He recommended Liu Bin to carefully read Negroponte's

In the book "Digital Survival", Lu Weimin also proposed that the emergence of the Internet will not only bring about huge changes in business models, but also have a huge impact on the real economy, such as the computer information industry, personal computer industry, and communication infrastructure industry.

There are many predictions about the arrival of the Internet era. However, there are not many people like Lu Weimin who talk about the impact of the Internet on the real industry in a more in-depth and practical manner. Liu Bin also appreciates Lu Weimin's down-to-earth approach and does not talk too high-minded about the Internet.

Future development trends, but directly cutting into the impact on the real industry, are not simple.

As a local official, the trends in the Internet industry are not something they can influence or interfere with. What they can do is to maximize the impact of these trends on the real industry to serve local economic development. This is their political achievement.

"So fast? Let me look at the list." Lu Weimin was surprised when he heard that Chang Lan had prepared the things he needed.

He just asked Chang Lan to prepare some souvenir gifts for him, preferably from Changjiang Province. Because he knew that as the Beijing Office, these things are in short supply. Various souvenirs from Changjiang Province are always available here.

It can be said that it has everything.

Leaders have different tastes and habits. Many leaders don’t like to receive food invitations. It would be impolite or inappropriate to visit empty-handed. Therefore, some lubricants are needed, and local specialties are the best items. Of course, it is a bit vulgar.

Some leaders do not like souvenirs, but more affordable things, and that is not one of them.

Duan Zijun and Liu Bin obviously do not fall into that category.

Every time Lu Weimin visits Duan Zijun in Beijing, he always gets a very meager portion of local specialties. Sometimes it’s a few kilograms of dried bamboo shoots and dried mushrooms from Dahuai Mountain. Sometimes it’s a few kilograms of “shuangfeng” authentic medicinal materials or medicinal wine, or it comes from

All in all, Futou's pen, ink, paper and inkstone handicrafts are not worth a lot of money, but if they have a strong local flavor, they will always win Duan Zijun's liking.

Last time, Lu Weimin specially asked someone to bring 20 kilograms of Lizehu rice to Duan Zijun. Duan Zijun called to express his gratitude and said that he liked the taste of Lizehu rice, which made Lu Weimin quite proud.

Lize Lake Fragrant Rice is a specialty of Zekou. The rice grains are round and round, and it is purely ecological and green. It does not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The yield is not high, but it is very authentic and the price is high. It is mainly produced by a collective farm in Zekou that specializes in export.

It's sold out every year.

Of course, in the expensive world, a pack of rice only costs one or two hundred yuan. Compared with those who frequently give away gold and jade, it is simply a child’s play.

After glancing at the list handed over by Chang Lan, Lu Weimin was even more surprised. It's not that Chang Lan's arrangement didn't suit his taste, but that it suited his taste so well. It was like he had figured out his own thoughts and intentions, and it also catered to the taste of the recipient.

.

Duan Lao was given two bags of rice, a fine set of Futou pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a box of selected dried mushrooms from Dahuai Mountain, while Liu Bin was given a bag of rice and two cans of "shuangfeng", a specialty of Qilongling.

Medicinal wine.

The key is that except for rice, which is a specialty of Songzhou, several other items are local specialties of Fengzhou. How did Chang Lan know about this preference?

Seeing Lu Weimin look over with satisfaction and surprise, Chang Lan felt slightly proud, "Secretary Lu, I have kept records of the things you arranged to send since last year. I can also see the preferences of Mr. Duan and Director Liu, so you

Arrange it now, I will take the liberty to put it together for you, I wonder if you are satisfied or not?"

Since last year? At the beginning of last year, I just became the executive deputy mayor, and it was also my first Spring Festival in Songzhou. I didn’t expect this woman to be so careful, recording all the details one by one, and also making combinations according to the actual situation.

Matching, this heart is not simple.

"Well, I'm very satisfied. I'll arrange it according to your list." Lu Weimin nodded and said, "Chang Lan, the Beijing Office is very busy, right?"

"Secretary Lu, as you know, the things we do in Beijing are mostly trivial matters, but this is also a window of our city in Beijing. It is related to the image of our city. Leaders come and go.

, it is also a link between our city and various departments and units in Beijing. It is not visible at ordinary times, but it must play a role at critical moments." Chang Lan said with a shallow smile.

"Chang Lan, how long have you been at the Consulate in Beijing?" Lu Weimin asked smoothly, admiring Chang Lan's demeanor of neither being humble nor overbearing.

Lu Weimin has basically never been involved in the work of the Liaison Office in Beijing, and he is not even clear about the people working in the Liaison Office in Beijing. In fact, whether he serves as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee or executive deputy mayor of the city government,

I still focus more on economic work, and I don’t have much contact with the people in the Beijing Office. I also had to make some arrangements for the Spring Festival after I became the executive deputy mayor, so I only contacted Chang Lan once, and I will not contact him in the future.

It was natural to find Chang Lan, but basically it was Gu Ziming who was in charge of contacting him. It was just that he stayed in Beijing for a longer time this time, so he had more contact with Chang Lan.

"Secretary Lu, you don't care about the people in our office in Beijing. They say you come and go very quickly. It's rare to see you. When leaders come, they want to come and greet you. It's good for you. You come here often.

We in Beijing didn't ask our Beijing office, right?" Chang Lan said with a smile.

"Hey, who said that?" Lu Weimin was a little surprised. Does anyone at the Beijing Office know this?

"No one has leaked your whereabouts. We also have to report our work to our leaders. Sometimes during the report, the leaders will say how so-and-so Secretary and Mayor so-and-so came to Beijing, but we are in a daze. Secretary Lu, you didn't

Come to the Beijing Office? We are still afraid to say anything. Is it because our work performance is not good and the leaders are dissatisfied? Why don’t the leaders come to Beijing to find our Beijing Office? What kind of work have we not done well?

Just say something, let's change it. If we don't do it this way, and the Secretary-General knows about it, won't he have to blame us?" Chang Lan smiled happily.

Lu Weimin was a little embarrassed. This woman is a genius and can't hide anything. Moreover, if you carry a gun and a stick, you will feel that you owe her a big favor.
