Chapter 74 The Future of Jiudu

Kan Dongtian also wandered for a long time after receiving the information feedback from Bi Yuntao, and then called the home of Vice Governor Li Guozhu. Li Guozhu was silent for a while and said: "Now the State Council is the head of Vice Premier Cheng, and he is not satisfied with the current situation of state-owned enterprises and institutions. At the Third Plenary Session of the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he proposed to establish a modern enterprise system that adapts to the requirements of the market economy, has clear property rights, clear rights and responsibilities, separate government and enterprise, and scientific management. This is the main tone. On the other hand, in some industries that are not related to national economy and people's livelihood, state-owned enterprises can consider it.

Exit mechanism. Now, Jiudu City is a city with dozens of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises. If it can make breakthroughs in this regard, it can promote its experience across the country. So this time, you'd better concentrate your ideas on building tourism, developing real estate, state-owned enterprise reform, and education reform recently. After review by the province, you can report to the central government." Kan Dongtian was a little dizzy. The meaning of Li Guozhu's words was so shocked. Does the province mean to build Jiudu into the next special zone?

Yang Xing still underestimated the province's determination. Although Gu Qingshan stared at a higher central position, he also knew that if he wanted to advance step by step, he always needed performance to support him. The problems of colleges and universities in Zhongyuan Province have a long history and are considered a difficult problem. If he could make a major improvement during his term of office, both the central and local governments would look at him with admiration.

On Sunday, he was sleeping soundly at home with Wang Yiren. Ouyang Ting was going to participate in an outing organized by the school. Ouyang Qian was worried and accompanied her. Her parents went there and didn't even pass New Year's Day. Yang Xing, who was unattended, blatantly called Wang Yiren home and said in front of the nanny that he was talking about work.

Thinking that today is Sunday, Yang Xing turned off his cell phone, unplugged the phone line, and wanted to get close to the beauty. Just after 8:30, Aunt Wu, one of the two nannies at home, knocked on Yang Xing's door in panic, and opened his sleepy eyes, Yang Xing just heard Aunt Wu shouting: "No, there are several police cars outside the door!" Yang Xing was not too panic. He didn't evade taxes and did not cheat, and there was no financial problem. Unless he was reported to sleep with four women, it seemed that there was a hooligan crime in the criminal law now, and that was no big deal. Yang Xing was confused and couldn't think of anything. He sent Aunt Wu away and asked Wang Yiren, who was hiding in the quilt, to change his clothes, and to go to the gate to see clearly.

I saw a group of people outside looking at Yang Xing, wearing sleeping clothes, sloppy faces, and yawning with strange eyes. He really couldn't connect him with words such as genius and teenager. Yang Xing looked at Kan Dongtian who was holding back his smile and a woman in her fifties and grey hair, and had to pretend to be shy and said, "Sorry, I'm getting up late." He asked the nanny to invite a large group of people into the living room. Yang Xing ran to the bathroom on the second floor to wash up. The cold wash water dispelled the sleepiness and also restored Yang Xing's mind.

The elderly woman who was like a star was very familiar with her face, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. Yang Xing turned on the waterproof TV in the bathroom, where the Central Plains Provincial Station was replaying the provincial news last night. "Pan Lanfen, Director of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Education, visited our province this morning to inspect the construction of universities in our province...", and understood it in his heart. It seemed that the province had really made great determination to invite all the real power figures who managed the establishment and abolition of universities.

At the end of 1994, a major fire broke out in Karamay, Xinjiang, which shocked China and the world. 323 people died, 132 were burned and disabled, and 288 of the dead were innocent and lovely primary and secondary school students. The fire occurred at a welcome meeting held by the Karamay Municipal Education Bureau to welcome officials of the "Compulsory Education and Literacy Assessment and Acceptance Team" sent by superiors. At that time, the report of the Education Bureau's official order "students should not move! Let the leaders go first!" made public opinion point directly to the top leaders of the education system. The Ministry of Education, as the competent department, was extremely passive for a while, and the positions of many leaders were adjusted, and a group of foreign officials were replaced to a high position.

Their reform awareness is indeed much stronger than those old stubborn people. The main plan for college enrollment expansion was completed in their hands. Yang Xing still remembers this tragic disaster, but he was still fighting in the futures market in the mall at the time of the incident. Even if he remembers that the other party would be furious, he would probably be regarded as a madman. In May last year, 14 people involved were sentenced, but even the vice mayor in the highest position was sentenced to 4 years. The reality is very cruel. At this time, Yang Xing's power was not possible to recover anything, so he could only sigh in his heart.

However, Pan Lanfen, who was transferred from the Ministry of Science and Technology last year due to this incident, was still an exciting thing. This is a positive signal. She was famous for her bluntly speaking and dared to speak out in the Ministry of Science and Technology. She is a technical official with outstanding academic ability. The province seems to have made great determination to reform the education system of Jiudu. However, they suddenly came to visit and caught themselves off guard. Yang Xing, who had changed her clothes, told Wang Yiren not to go downstairs and to accompany them by herself.

As a senior government official, Pan Lanfen was still very calm. The group sat down and didn't make any noise. The two nannies who had never seen the world had been hiding in the tea and were hiding. Yang Xing was a little embarrassed. It seemed that they would still have to train a suitable housekeeper in the future. How could they leave the people aside and not even talk to the guests? Kan Dongtian and Pan Lanfen didn't care much. After all, they had something to ask for. Seeing Yang Xing come down, they arranged their entourage and sat down with Yang Xing to discuss the university merger directly.

The establishment of the Higher Education Department and the Work Department of directly affiliated universities within the Ministry of Education has always been confusing, thinking that they are the units that arrange the establishment and name change of universities across the country. But in fact, the Development Planning Department is mainly responsible for formulating the enrollment plans for general higher education institutions, studying the setting standards of various higher education institutions, reviewing the establishment of higher education institutions, abolishing and name change, and managing the infrastructure investment of directly affiliated universities and directly affiliated universities. It can be said that it is a first-class and real-powered department within the Ministry of Education. If you can invite this great god, the province must have put in a lot of effort. Shortly after Pan Lanfen took office, he also wanted to do something, and was also very interested in Yang Xing's idea of ​​forming a corporate education group with social forces.

Pan Lanfen came to Jiudu secretly this time, and time was very tight. Yang Xing just talked about the idea of ​​Jiang Daofang's idea of ​​introducing foreign-funded education groups. Pan Lanfen was very interested in this. At this time, in the world university rankings of Forbes and US News and World Report, several Hong Kong universities, Hong Kong University, University of Science and Technology, etc., were ranked higher than domestic universities. If Jiang Daofang's Starry Sky Human Resources Consulting Company could introduce well-known foreign-funded education groups, it would be of great benefit to college students' overseas training, etc.

There is confidence to propose a plan at that time. Pan Lanfen is not very resistant to private education. After all, Yu Minhong's New Oriental Foreign Language School was opened in Beijing in 1993, and the Ministry of Education also held a default attitude. However, schools such as New Oriental are only engaged in vocational training. If you want to go to the top and directly run a university in the form of a school board, there are still many obstacles to overcome. After almost a day of talk, Pan Lanfen said goodbye and left. Although she did not express her opinions directly, from the meaning of her words, the Ministry of Education should secretly support it.

After seeing Pan Lanfen off, Kan Dongtian was not polite and took Yang Xing to Jinguyuan for dinner. After the meal, he said there was something more important to talk to Yang Xing. Yang Xing had to leave Wang Yiren who had been resting for a day and officially visited Kan Dongtian's municipal office building in Binhe District for the first time.

At this time, the lights were on. Today was Sunday. There were only a few offices in the office building of the city government. Now Kan Dongtian has not taken Yang Xing's age to heart. There are many young geniuses in this era. Yang Xing's extraordinary wisdom made Kan Dongtian unconsciously take him as a private think tank, wanting him to learn about the information revealed by Li Guozhu with him.

As the second largest city in the Central Plains, Jiudu still has a certain status. Jiudu is among the first batch of 18 "larger cities" approved in 1984. According to unwritten regulations, most of the "larger cities"'s party secretary enter the standing committee team of the province or autonomous region according to custom and obtain a sub-provincial status. Moreover, being identified as "larger cities" means that they can enjoy local legislative power and then set up local penalties standards. Therefore, Jiudu's status in some aspects is no less than that of provincial capital commercial cities.

However, Li Guozhu revealed that Jiudu can still take a step forward, and it will not be as simple as becoming a "single-planned city". After the reform, the central government established a number of "single-planned city" in 1983, enjoying economic management authority at the provincial level. Their income and expenditure are directly linked to the central government, and are divided into two parts by the central government and local finances, without having to pay the provincial finances. In May 1994, most of the provincial capital cities were demarcated, leaving only five "single-planned city" in Shenzhen, Dalian, Qingdao, Ningbo and Xiamen. These ten provincial capital cities and these five "single-planned city" constitute sub-provincial cities.

There was originally a mountain city, but according to the central government's opinion, it will become the fourth municipality directly under the central government in China at most next year, and its identity is very different. The current situation is that even the Central Plains Provincial Capital Shangcheng has not become a sub-provincial city. Jiudu takes another step and is probably also planned to be a "planned city". However, the administrative level of the entire Jiudu City will be raised to a higher level, and it is fully qualified to be on par with Shangcheng, or even surpass it. Kan Dongtian will directly enter the provincial standing committee member and become a provincial leader. This huge temptation is enough to make Kan Dongtian unable to sleep or eat, but he also has doubts in his heart, why is it Jiudu?
