After the Spring Festival, Lifeng City's work started step by step again.

On March 1, the Lifeng Municipal People's Congress held its second plenary meeting. The agenda of this meeting is five days. A series of reports, budget and final accounts will be reviewed, and the candidate for Lifeng mayor will be elected.

298 representatives attended the conference. Within five days, they listened, reviewed and approved the government work report made by Acting Mayor Ye Zhiran, the director of the Municipal Development Planning Committee on the implementation of Lifeng City's 2001 National Economic and Social Development Plan, the draft National Economic and Social Development Plan in 2002, and the draft city and municipal budgets in 2001, and the draft city and municipal budgets in 2002. The work report of the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, the work report of the Intermediate People's Court, the work report of the Municipal People's Procuratorate, etc.

On the last day, the conference elected the acting mayor Ye Zhiran as the mayor of Lifeng Municipal People's Government.

After serving as the acting mayor of Lifeng City for half a year, Ye Zhiran finally removed the previous word "dai".

On March 9, Ye Zhiran went to the provincial government to attend the provincial poverty alleviation work conference. Lifeng City's economic development level is at the lowest level in the province. The city's fiscal revenue is only half of the fiscal expenditure, and 50% of the fiscal budget requires transfer payments from the provincial government to make up for the deficit. At the meeting, Governor Ju Guanghou criticized the economic development status of Lifeng City and criticized the Lifeng Municipal Government mercilessly. Ye Zhiran was sweating profusely.

A series of economic development measures he implemented in Lifeng City were still in the construction period at this time, and it will only be gradually reflected in the second half of 2002. Governor Guanghou criticized the work of the Lifeng Municipal Government as a kind of encouragement for backward areas from the height of the province, and he naturally would not feel angry about it.

For the top leaders of the government, development! Development! Development! Development is the hard truth! Everything is spoken of by economic data. At this time, he cannot produce good data, so no matter how severe the criticism is, he must be humbly accepted.

After the meeting, Ye Zhiran targeted He Bingyi, chairman of the Yangtze River Building Group. The Building Group had a large-scale poverty alleviation plan that year. It was said that the amount was as high as hundreds of millions. Leaders from many regions in the province wanted to establish a relationship with President He.

"Mr. He, long time no see!" Ye Zhiran appeared in front of He Bingyi immediately.

He Bingyi was the former secretary of the Yangtze River Provincial Party Committee, and the first secretary of Chen Chengqiang. He had known Ye Zhiran as a member of the Yangtze River Provincial Party Committee and chairman of the Building Group.

"Hello Mayor Ye." He Bingyi has a strong sense of superiority in front of the mayor of prefecture-level cities. However, he knew that Ye Zhiran was favored by Premier Chen. Not long ago, Premier Chen summoned him in the capital, so he was considered a "person".

Ye Zhiran stepped forward and held Mr. He's hand tightly and said, "Mr. He has been looking forward to your visit to Lifeng City for inspection. Today I have seized the opportunity and I will tie you up."

He Bingyi naturally knew Ye Zhiran’s purpose. For him, the money he had to be used, how to use it? Where to use it? He had a lot of decision-making power.

"Mayor Ye, we are going to find a place to sit down. We will introduce you to a friend."

In a teahouse near the provincial government, He Bingyi asked for a quiet private room. The two asked for a pot of green tea. The friend He made an appointment on the road also arrived. When Ye Zhiran saw it, he also knew that he was Yu Shifei, deputy general manager of the Yangtze River Power Corporation and chairman of the Yangtze River Southern Power Branch.

"Hello, Mr. Yu."

He Bingyi smiled and said, "Since you know me, I won't introduce you."

Yu Shifei's identity is one level lower than both of them. However, he is the chairman of Southern Power Branch. He is in charge of the hydropower construction in Lifeng City, and he is also a very energetic figure.

"Mr. He and Mayor Ye are famous. I'm afraid there are not many cadres in the Yangtze River Province." Yu Shifei and Ye Zhiran shook hands. Then, Yu He Bingyi shook hands with a smile on his face and sat down beside him.

He Bingyi said: "Mayor Ye, we are all our own people, so we won't beat around the bush. During the Spring Festival, I went to Beijing to meet Premier Chen. Premier Chen appreciated you very much and asked me to make policy tilts towards Lifeng City in the poverty alleviation plan. It happened that President Yu was preparing to invest in a hydropower project in the southern region, so after this poverty alleviation meeting, I had a plan to contact you."

"That's great, great, Mr. He and Mr. Yu, you guys have caused a timely rain to Lifeng City!"

He Bingyi asked with interest: "Mayor Ye has something to say. Could it be that he already has a large-scale economic development plan in his heart?"

"Two leaders, I will report to you the economic development plan of Lifeng City..." Ye Zhiran described Lifeng City's economic development plan for the future period, and developed in an orderly manner after the development and construction of the tourism industry, the city's mineral governance and rectification, the construction of Yunhe County timber trading market and subsequent timber processing enterprise development plan, investment promotion in Hong Kong, etc.

"Well, Mayor Ye, if these plans in Lifeng City can be implemented smoothly, they will bring earth-shaking changes to Lifeng City!"

"...So, from a development perspective, if the Building Group can cooperate with the Southern Power Branch to invest in the construction of hydropower stations in Lifeng City, it will not only have investment value, but also effectively solve the power shortage problem in Lifeng City and provide a reliable guarantee for the sustainable economic development of Lifeng City."

As the leader of the provincial power company, Yu Shifei conducted inspections of many districts and counties in Lifeng City. When he came to Lifeng City last year, Ye Zhiran personally accompanied him to three counties with the richest water resources, and was familiar with the water resources in Lifeng City. He nodded and said, "Mayor Ye, this time, the Southern Power Branch will jointly invest with the Building Group through joint-stock cooperation. The Building Group occupies a controlling position and the investment ratio will reach more than 70%. The Southern Power Branch will provide technical strength and be responsible for the project construction. Therefore, in terms of site selection, the power company only makes suggestions and you two make the decision."

Ye Zhiran waved his hand and said, "Lifeng Municipal Government will fully support the work of Building Group and the Provincial Power. The specific location selection should be decided by you two."

He Bingyi brought Yu Shifei to talk about this matter, but he had already made a fuss. He had a close relationship with Yu Shifei, and his words were a little casual: "Mayor Ye, the Yangtze River Building Group, in accordance with the guidance of the provincial party committee and government, participated in the poverty alleviation plan of our province, which is very targeted. We don't have to be too polite. This hydropower station was chosen near Yingshan, Jingni County. The specific construction plan was determined by the Southern Power Branch, and the installed capacity was temporarily determined to be 40,000 kilowatts. In this case, the total investment is estimated to be 300 million to 350 million yuan. Please actively cooperate in the relocation and channels."
