In the office of the secretary, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Zhang Chaoping sat there deep in thought.
Ever since he was appointed as the Secretary of Ximu City, Zhang Chaoping had many plans. He knew this was an opportunity for himself, and if he grasped it well, he might even be able to advance further. Therefore, he had to achieve some results.
After meeting with the team members, Zhang Chaoping tested the waters several times and discovered that everyone had their own ideas. Thus, an idea emerged for Zhang Chaoping: let everyone be responsible for a different area and then compete for achievements.
The biggest advantage of this was to quickly develop every county. As long as everyone achieved something, he naturally would have his own achievements too.
However, he also knew that such matters were the business of the government, and if any results came out of it, Ji Yang would be the one to benefit the most.
As for this matter, a method Zhang Chaoping thought of was to suppress Ji Yang a little. If he could make Ji Yang lose his credibility, then his own capabilities would be highlighted.
This was also the reason behind Zhang Chaoping’s decision to split the construction of a district into two halves.
If one side of the district was developed and the other was not, the comparison would be clear. Everyone, particularly the superiors, would then be able to see that Ji Yang wasn’t that impressive.
Zhang Chaoping still had some confidence regarding this matter, mainly because he had many connections in the provincial capital, which made securing funding relatively easy. He also controlled some merchants, all of whom could be invited to invest.
Ximu City was not a good investment location. Few outsiders came to invest, so if he managed to bring in tens of millions in investment, he should be able to outcompete Ji Yang and his team. The source of this content ɪs novel-fire.net
Although Ji Yang and his team should also have some connections, attracting such a large investment all at once would be very difficult. Businesspeople follow profit, and Ximu City didn’t have much to offer; even good relationships would not be enough.
When Ji Yang said he wanted to undertake the construction of Xincheng, Zhang Chaoping laughed secretly. Building a new city would cost a tremendous amount of money—whereas renovating the old city would be quicker. Another plan was to build a residential area specifically for civil servants, which would ensure a large number of officials would be on his side.
Zhang Chaoping didn’t think highly of Ji Yang’s ideas. Besides, Ji Yang had to manage one of the poorest counties, which meant he had too much work to do—and might not be able to do well in any of them.
As long as Ji Yang did not perform as well as the rest, or even if he did similarly, he would not be likely to convince everyone. At that point, Zhang Chaoping could use his achievements in party work to firmly suppress everyone else, which would further increase his influence in the city.
The more Zhang Chaoping thought about it, the more he believed his ideas were correct. From now on, he would need to plan carefully.
After thinking for a while longer, Zhang Chaoping finally picked up the phone and dialed a number.
Zhang Chaoping needed his brother-in-law to help operate things. With his assistance, his brother-in-law’s development had always been quite good, and some of the construction work here could indeed be handed over to his company.
At the same time, Zuo Lin and the others naturally began to take action too. Each person was responsible for a county, and with just one county to focus on, they could achieve something. The first thing to do was to restore the areas damaged by the earthquake.
In a short time, the entire Ximu City had become a bustling place. Everyone was showing their skills, all busy with their duties.
Ji Yang, of course, was keeping a close eye on everyone’s actions. Now that everyone wanted to achieve something, it was a good thing. Of course, Ji Yang also knew everyone was watching him. If he did not perform well in this work, he might become the subject of ridicule.
At this moment, Ji Yang had arrived at a desolate place on the west side of the city government’s location, a vast area of soil and rock that couldn’t be cultivated, littered with many small mounds and overgrown with weeds. No one thought of it as a place suitable for development.
Ji Yang had set his sights on this place long ago. If it were developed, it would certainly benefit the entire urban area.
How to quickly develop this large area was the problem Ji Yang needed to contemplate. Of course, the first step was to halt any sale and transfer rights of the land here, to prevent anyone from profiting inappropriately.
In this regard, Ji Yang had plenty of experience.
