"Easy for you to say, standing there without experiencing the hardship!"
Qin Mu had to admit, being in charge is really great!
You can boss people around at will!
With absolute power, you can disregard facts and logic, and suppress others at will.
Take Liang Guan, for example!
Relying on his position as the top leader, he disregarded the economic situation in Huaining County and brazenly demanded that Qin Mu increase the county's economic scale.
He didn't even think before he said that!
Huaining County's economic foundation is so poor, yet Qin Mu has achieved considerable results in just two months. Isn't that enough?
He still demands that Qin Mu increase the economic scale?
No matter how capable Qin Mu is, he's not a god, and he can't act against economic laws!
Economic development is a step-by-step process, a gradual improvement. Qin Mu has already used his connections to attract the Tianke Group, which is practically cheating, but even so, he hasn't received a single word of praise from Liang Guan.
This is truly outrageous!
"Secretary Liang, have you done economic work before?"
Faced with Liang Guan's aggressive questioning, Qin Mu suddenly asked, seemingly out of the blue.
What does that mean?
Questioning my past?
Liang Guan, displeased and slightly smug, said, "Comrade Qin Mu, your question is a bit amateurish. I worked my way up from the grassroots to the municipal government, eventually becoming the vice mayor. Naturally, I've done a lot of economic work. Among all the local cadres in the city, few have had as much experience in terms of the complexity and variability of their positions as I have."
What a boastful fellow!
Qin Mu was immediately unimpressed; that was exactly what he wanted to hear.
Since you don't respect my achievements, I don't need to be polite to you either!
"Since Secretary Liang is so familiar with economic work, he must understand the laws of economic development. Economic development in any place doesn't happen overnight; it's a gradual, steady process."
Qin Mu said calmly, "Our country's development history tells us that everything should start from reality. How much does Secretary Liang know about the economic situation of Huaining County?"
"Do you know how weak Huaining County's economic foundation is? You're always talking about increasing your economic size. Do you know that Huaining County is a poverty-stricken county? Do you know that Huaining County's economy ranks last in the entire Jiangzhou?"
This…
These few rhetorical questions instantly turned Liang Guan's face pale, after his previous smug expression.
He had been so focused on putting Qin Mu down that he had forgotten to consider other issues.
He had overlooked Huaining County's economic foundation!
This gave Qin Mu an opportunity to retaliate.
"Of course, Secretary Liang may be experienced and talented, and may have better methods. We would appreciate any advice from Secretary Liang on how to achieve a rapid increase in economic scale. Or perhaps Secretary Liang already has a plan?"
Qin Mu smiled slightly and said, "Let's all give him a round of applause. We humbly request Secretary Liang's guidance, so that we, the less experienced cadres, can receive his instruction!"
"Clap clap clap!"
He then took the lead in clapping.
The others immediately followed suit, and the meeting room erupted in applause. Everyone looked at Liang Guan, wondering what good ideas this experienced vice mayor had in store!
This kid!
He really knows how to put people in a difficult position!
Liang Guan's face darkened. He hadn't expected to be openly put on the spot by this kid, Qin Mu!
"Actually, Comrade Qin Mu is right. Economic work doesn't happen overnight; it's all about gradual accumulation."
Forced into this, Liang Guan could only bite the bullet and continue, "Huaining County's economic foundation is weak; this is inherent and cannot be changed. What we need to do is twofold: First, large-scale construction and infrastructure development, building and widening roads. Improved transportation is the foundation for economic development."
"Second, attracting investment. Huaining County still has advantages: cheap labor, mountainous resources suitable for agriculture, and scenic areas suitable for tourism development. As long as large enterprises invest, these are all capital we can monetize!"
That's it?
Qin Mu really wanted to say, isn't this just common sense?
Who doesn't know that to develop the economy, you need to build good roads?
But where will the money come from? How can the government build roads if it doesn't have the funds?
Furthermore, with Huaining County's limited resources, most companies wouldn't even consider it. Who would invest in a place with such a poor economic foundation and inadequate infrastructure?
Therefore, Liang Guan's so-called suggestions were practically useless.
Completely pointless!
"Clap clap clap..."
Qin Mu immediately clapped again, laughing, "Secretary Liang truly lives up to his reputation as an expert in economics. His words have enlightened me! Secretary Liang must already have investment targets in mind. What do you think... perhaps you could utilize your resources to attract investment to Huaining County?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged strange glances.
When it comes to sarcastic remarks, County Head Qin is a master!
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that County Head Qin was subtly mocking Liang Guan. Even if Liang Guan was the vice mayor, he didn't possess many investment resources.
This was Huaining, not Jiangzhou.
If Liang Guan were trying to attract companies to invest in Jiangzhou, with certain policy incentives, he might be able to attract one or two companies with investments exceeding ten million yuan.
But inviting them to a place like Huaining County was much more difficult.
Without an economic foundation, without a locational advantage, and without transportation, what's the point of investment?
Businessmen are all profit-driven!
Without profit, who will come to Huaining?
Qin Mu was able to persuade Tianke Group to invest not because of his personal abilities, but purely because his surname is Qin!
Liang Guan's surname, Liang, doesn't have the same prestige as Qin Mu's Qin!
"I will naturally put my heart into this matter," Liang Guan said, holding his breath. "Comrade Qin Mu, you are the county head. I believe you are capable of handling investment promotion."
"How about this, you draft an economic development plan, and we'll discuss it together. As long as it boosts Huaining's economic development, we can implement it!"
At this point, Liang Guan was also afraid.
If they continued, what if he really had to contact companies to invest? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
He came here to enjoy the absolute authority of the next leader. If he had to do investment promotion work, begging and pleading, how exhausting would that be? So Liang Guan quickly changed direction and stopped asking for anything.
"Secretary Liang, I've actually prepared a work plan for you all. You can take a look."
Qin Mu then took out several more documents and distributed them. "My plan is to attract two companies with investments of tens of millions of yuan within three months to boost Huaining's economic development. We also plan to renovate the main roads in Huaining County to improve its transportation capacity, integrate tourism resources, and establish a county-owned state-owned enterprise to inject capital into Huaining's economic development!"
What?
This plan is already done?
Liang Guan's eyes were filled with deep apprehension. How come this kid is always one step ahead of him?
