Xia Xiang was originally the youngest, so he had to be modest and low-key, and he didn't want to speak early, who knew that Yu Fanran dared to confront him face to face and challenge the authority of Song Chaodu, he was not very comfortable.

Yu Fanran is a member of the Wu family, between the Wu family and Song Chaodu, Xia Xiang is still more inclined to Song Chaodu, and he is also closer to Song Chaodu emotionally, so he must stand up and speak for Song Chaodu.

"I think Mayor Yu's statement is a bit of a generalization, last year's pig iron, crude steel, steel output in Yan Province exceeded 100 million tons, since the first, Yan Province's status as a major steel province is undoubted. However, for a long time, there are problems such as low industrial concentration, unreasonable layout, weak industrial competitiveness, and high pressure on resources and environment. There are more than 200 iron and steel enterprises in the province, but except for Qingang and Dangang Group, the scale of other enterprises is generally small and cannot form economies of scale. As soon as Xia Xiang opened his mouth, he took the lead with a direct refutation of Yu Fanran, speaking for Song Chaodu, not only with a clear position, but also with a very direct tone, which surprised everyone present.

Xia Xiang saw Yu Fanran raise his eyebrows slightly, knowing that his bottom line had been touched, so he chuckled again and continued: "Counting that we have more than 100 million tons of steel in Yan Province, accounting for 20% of the country's crude steel output, big should have a big advantage, and should have the right to speak in resources." If 100 million tons of steel speak unanimously to the outside world, then we should have a very strong voice in terms of resources and prices! But now we can't speak yet, and no one listens, because what? It's because we're still too small, too scattered, too fragmented, too small! ”

The tone of a series of questions was aggressive, Xia Xiang's words not only hit the nail on the head, but also directly pointed out the predicament of the steel industry in Yan Province, which made everyone present not only shocked, but secretly admired Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang is the youngest mayor, but his understanding of the current situation of the steel industry in Yan Province is no worse than that of everyone here" Even Gao Jinzhou was secretly surprised, Xia Xiang not only knew some key data well, but also analyzed the current situation.

"Shancheng and Qingang are the leading steel industries in Yan Province, but because of the low industrial concentration rate, the ranking in the country has declined year by year" Qingang retreated from the second to the fourth, and the single city was squeezed out of the top 10 by the 7th in one go, and in the long run, the prospects of the steel industry in Yan Province are worrying. At the same time, the steel industry in Yan Province is also in danger of being fragmented, and Baosteel's intervention, ostensibly united, is actually annexed. The market is so cruel, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp "What do shrimp eat?" Eat mud * ......" Xia wanted to continue to talk.

"We are all guarding our own acres and two cents of land, we only look at the immediate interests, and we all think about the local government's taxes and GDP, but don't forget, when the ranking of Shan Gang and Qin Gang in the country falls to a certain extent, sooner or later they will be swallowed up" When the time comes, it will be too late to unite with the outside world. Xia Xiang became more and more excited, "Our more than 100 million tons of steel are built by relying on large and small main factories. Now, both at home and abroad are staring at the steel of Yan Province.

If we are still running at a low level, it is easy to be eaten by the big fish! A few years later, if these steels no longer belong to our Yan Province, including Governor Song, including everyone here, there is no way to explain to future generations, "They are all sinners of Yan Province!" ”

After Xia Xiang finished speaking, the stirring voice echoed in everyone's heart. As an official, even if he can't benefit one party, he has really become a sinner in Yan Province, and as a parent official in Yan Province, he also loses the trust and trust of the people of Yan Province.

If Yu Fanran's speech is a challenge to the authority of the Song Dynasty, then Xia Xiang's rebuttal is a slap in the face to Fanran, and the counterattack is very sharp.

Yu Fanran opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that Xia Xiang had finished saying everything he had to say, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Xia Xiang is really not simple, he is really a talent. It's just that he doesn't know that the integration of the province's steel resources is extremely unfavorable to the Wu family, how can he ignore the interests of the Wu family and be consistent with the Song Dynasty?

Yu Fanran was puzzled, his cleverness was that he would not meddle in things, he would not comment on the complicated relationship between Xia Xiang and the Wu family, and would not interfere, just complete everything he should do, therefore, after Xia Xiang refuted, he did not express his opinion again, on the surface, he was speechless by Xia Xiang's argument.

In fact, Xia wants to understand that Yu Fanran is a smart person, he has just finished his opinion, and he has set an example for other cities, and the purpose has been achieved, and he will not spend more money on unnecessary arguments. Tongue, the main thing is that he knows very well that the real competition is behind the scenes, not on the stage.

However, what Xia Xiang didn't expect was that Yu Fanran admired him very much and was unwilling to make trouble with him in public.

Subsequently, other prefectures and cities have expressed their positions, and Xia Xiang's attitude is: "The Tianze Municipal Party Committee has certain differences, but Tianze City will firmly implement the decision of the provincial government." The implication is naturally that he will vigorously promote Tiangang to actively meet the integration plan.

Li Dingshan's statement is the same as Xia Xiang, which also proves that there are certain differences within Shuiheng City.

Subsequently, Yu Fanran still opposed integration. Although the tone is much weaker, the attitude is clear.

The charter city is cautiously optimistic.

Qintang City resolutely agreed.

Single-city cities are also strongly in favor.

Cow City is cautiously optimistic.

The overall situation is not optimistic, because the hands have taken a bad head, which has made the two cities of Niucheng and Charter, which were originally wavering, take a step back.

Song Chaodu didn't say anything, and when he finally concluded his speech, he focused on one sentence: "Before convening the meeting, I have interviewed the responsible persons of Qin Gang and Shan Gang, and Qin Gang and Shan Gang said that they resolutely have the decision of the provincial government, and in order to meet the integration, they have abandoned the internal personnel team adjustment." The provincial government's determination to integrate the province's iron and steel resources is very large, where there is resistance, where to solve, when necessary, at the expense of all means, even through personnel adjustments to achieve the goal. ”

In a word, everyone pressed a stone in their hearts, and Governor Song's determination was not small, and the meaning revealed in the words was that the leader of the steel mill was disobedient and replaced. If the mayor of any prefecture or city is disobedient, he will knock and even adjust.

There seems to be no precedent for adjusting the work of a mayor because of a problem of integrating steel resources, but what no one expected was that Governor Song was like a mountain, and later in order to promote the plan, he really transferred a mayor away!

Although the wrist is a little too tough, it is reasonable to think that the integration of steel resources in Yan Province has a long way to go, and it has gone through twists and turns. People who are familiar with the inside know that the integration of iron and steel in Yan Province has a long history, and after 40 years of development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the "Seven Steel" to which Yan Province belongs has a great influence in the national metallurgical industry. From 1997 to 2000, the Yan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government proposed three times to set up Yan Iron and Steel Group, including Qingang, Shan Gang, Xuangang, Tiangang, Niugang, Yangang and Shuigang, but all of them ended in aground.

When he took office in Song Chaodu, he faced greater difficulties and challenges, with Song Chaodu's character and skill, if he didn't forcibly pass the integration, he would not be the Song Dynasty who endured for two years and then overthrew Gao Chengsong in one fell swoop!

After the meeting, Xia Xiang only had a brief meeting with Song Chaodu for half an hour, and then went to visit Zi Shi Lao with Li Dingshan.

Shi Lao is older than before, he can hardly walk, fortunately his mind is still clear, he smiled when he saw Xia Xiang, and took Xia Xiang's hand and said endlessly. From Ran Qian to the present, and from now to the future, almost everything is talked about, everything is happy, recalling Rong Ma's career, looking forward to Xia Xiang's prospects, and almost saying that Xia Xiang will help Li Dingshan more.

Xia Xiang secretly sighed, Shi Lao is old, really old.

In the past, within his sight, Shi Lao was a figure like the sky. Now with the broadening of my horizons, I know that I am like Shi Lao, the official to the provincial party committee secretary, and finally after retreating, it is still the same desolate.

Shi Lao is far inferior to Lao Gu, Lao Gu still has the influence of calling for wind and rain, Shi Lao's words, now basically no one cares about it, of course he also knows that he has exhausted his favors, so he is very anxious about Li Dingshan standing still for several years.

There is a saying that from a physiological point of view, the so-called naivety means that you can't hold back your urine and your words. The so-called immaturity is that you can only hold back your urine, but you can't hold back your words. The so-called maturity is to be able to hold both urine and words. The so-called aging is to be able to hold back the words, but the urine is actually wrong, Xia Xiang wants to change it even more, the so-called aging is to return to the naïve stage, and he can't hold his urine and words.

When people get old, they talk a lot, they love to remember the bittersweet and sweet, and they love to talk endlessly throughout the ages. It is not good not to recognize the old, and people often find out that they are indeed old when they don't know.

Xia Xiang patiently talked to Shi Lao for a long time.

At noon, I had lunch with Shi Lao again. After the meal, Shi Lao still wanted to take a lunch break, Xia Xiang said goodbye and left, and he and Cheng Dacai made an appointment to meet. The temperature of Yan City is much higher than that of Tianze, and you can already see many beautiful girls on the street with long skirts fluttering and short skirts flying, long hair fluttering and short hair flying, each showing their style, showing their thighs and calves, showing their respective styles.

Cheng Daben still lives in the villa in the southeast of Yan City, he seems to be in retreat, making some huāhuā grass all day long, in fact, everyone knows that he is just using huā grass to cultivate his self-cultivation, and his mind is still on the big plan of the Dacai Group.

For today's meeting with Cheng Dacai, Xia Xiang has high expectations, because Cheng Dacai has not yet decided to invest in Tianze, and he has always hesitated in his heart, and he may need the last bit of fire. The investment of Dacai Group almost determines the success or failure of his economic plan!
