From the outbreak of the war to the end of the large-scale ground fighting, it took only 16 days.

The U.S. military is performing on the battlefield, but the Republic is "burying its head in things".

On May 12, Wang Yuanqing and Ye Zhisheng, director of the General Office of the Guangxi Autonomous Region Government, attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the headquarters of "Zhongzhong Company" in Beihai. + Muhua announced that it will expand the business of "medium and heavy company" to more than 20 countries in the next 5 years, and increase the annual turnover to more than 1c0 billion yuan by 2022. After the groundbreaking ceremony, + Muhua also donated 50 million scholarships to Guangxi National Key Universities in the name of "Zhongzhong Company".

The next day, + Muhua signed a scientific research funding contract with 6 national key laboratories of Guangxi University in Nanning, and "Zhongzhong Company" provided 2.5 million to 7.5 million scientific research funds for 6 laboratories every year in the name of "commissioned research" to fund scientific research work in the fields of electronics, materials, electromechanical, chemical engineering and other fields.

It is not surprising that the "medium and heavy company" entered the field of scientific research, but the speed of action surprised many people.

As an arms trading company, the "medium and heavy company" has only two options if it wants to expand its business, one is to enter the civilian field, and the other is to enter the field of arms production.

In the context of "medium and heavy companies", the former is obviously not feasible. If it is necessary to expand the civilian field, whether it is + Muhua, or + Yanbo, Li Chengwen and others from behind the scenes, they do not need to do it in the name of "Zhongzhong Company". The development direction of the "medium and heavy company" is to get involved in arms production, and eventually become an "arms group" integrating basic research, engineering development, manufacturing and production, and promotion and sales.

Unlike ordinary industries, the threshold for the arms industry is very high.

If it were not for the support of the state, it would be a question whether the "medium and heavy company" could be born. Transforming from sales to production requires deep technical accumulation. Compared to Western arms manufacturers, the "medium-heavy companies" have a very thin base. + The first thing Mu Hua has to do is to master several key technologies and gain a say in the field of arms development.

Before the state approved the "medium and heavy company" to get involved in the development of military technology, it could only cooperate with state-owned scientific research units.

+Muhua moved the headquarters of "Zhongzhong Company" to Guangxi. It has a lot to do with Wang Yuanqing's appointment as acting chairman of Guangxi. "Zhongzhong Company" donated scholarships to Guangxi Prefecture University. Collaboration with university research institutes. Basically, Wang Yuanqing single-handedly promoted the land. Do so. It can not only promote the economic development of Guangxi. Make greater contributions in the field of education and scientific research. It also has a close relationship with the state to use Guangxi as a pilot area.

Zhao Rundong "devolved" Wang Yuanqing to Guangxi. I just hope that Wang Yuanqing will make some "famous" in Guangxi.

As a proud protégé of Ji Youguo. After Wang Yuanqing arrived in Guangxi, he burned the "three fires". The first is to strictly enforce discipline in officialdom. Extensively appoint young and promising cadres. Eliminate some old cadres with rigid thinking; The second is to straighten out the social atmosphere. Organize a six-month anti-gang campaign. In just one month, more than 5C0 gangs involved in organized crime have been eradicated; The third is to implement the local social welfare security system that has already been issued by the central government. The focus will be on solving basic problems related to people's livelihood, such as medical care, pension, education, and housing, for 30 million farmers and 5 million urban poor.

These three fires burn down. Wang Yuanqing became the acting chairman of the autonomous region, which is well known throughout the country.

In the eyes of the general public. It was not enough for Wang Yuanqing to do this. Whether Guangxi's economy can be developed. The key is to bring practical benefits to the people.

Wang Yuanqing's "fourth fire" is to focus on the construction of the Beihai Special Economic Zone.

As early as the beginning of this century, the central government identified Beihai as a special economic demonstration zone for ASEAN countries, but due to the impact of the financial crisis, the construction speed of Beihai has not been very fast. When Wang Yuanqing arrived, many companies were overgrown with weeds, many factories that had been half built were in ruins, and many factories that had been built had been built had become warehouses.

The problem facing Wang Yuanqing is very serious.

Wang Yuanqing personally ran back to the central government and asked Zhao Rundong for the privilege of working in the Beihai high-tech economic pilot project.

Before returning to Guangxi, Wang Yuanqing visited + Yanbo and others "by the way" and reached a lot of cooperation agreements with them. +Yanbo promised to invest tens of billions of yuan in Beihai Port to build Beihai Port into the most important commercial port of the Republic; Li Chengwen promised to invest tens of billions of yuan in Beihai, Guilin, Nanning, Liuzhou and other places to build high-end hotels and invest in tourism; Ye Yongji promised to invest tens of billions of yuan in the construction of hydropower stations and wind power stations in Guangxi, build civilian solar cell production bases, and invest in the construction of bioenergy systems in rural areas of Guangxi; Long Yuteng and Shutao also agreed to invest billions of yuan in Guangxi to promote Guangxi's economic development. Of course, these promises will not be fulfilled immediately, and it will take years for them to bear fruit.

Subsequently, Wang Yuanqing reached an agreement with + Muhua to let + Muhua set up the headquarters of "Zhongzhong Company" in Guangxi.

Wang Yuanqing's conditions were also very attractive: in addition to allowing the "Zhongzhong Heavy Company" to subsidize poor college students and cooperate with university laboratories, he also promised to try to persuade the central authorities to allow the "Zhongzhong Heavy Company" to enter the field of military scientific research and arms production, and to reserve land for the "Zhongzhong Heavy Company" to build an arms production base.

In terms of policy, the "medium and heavy companies" are given the most preferential treatment.

Pulling the "Zhongzhong Company" over, Wang Yuanqingdi's idea is also very simple. If the "medium-heavy company" develops into an "arms group," it will at least be able to provide tens of thousands of jobs for Guangxi, allow tens of thousands of families to enter the high-income group, and provide more scientific research funds for Guangxi's universities and colleges, so that Guangxi can make breakthroughs in the field of scientific research. The most important thing is that arms are an absolutely profitable business, and the profits are the highest among all types of industry. As long as the "medium and heavy company" develops and grows, it will be able to provide billions or even tens of billions of yuan in tax revenue for Guangxi every year, so that Guangxi's financial strength will be greatly strengthened.

According to the outside world, Wang Yuanqing introduced the "Zhongzhong Company" into the Beihai Economic Development Zone, and wanted to build Beihai into the Seattle of the Republic!

Although in the eyes of the outside world, Wang Yuanqing's achievements are more or less related to Ji Youguo's "political legacy", there is one thing that cannot be denied that in promoting reform, Wang Yuanqing has completely "inherited" Ji Youguo's courage, and even far surpassed Ji Youguo.

In early May, when the outside world was still paying attention to the US-Iraq war, Wang Yuanqing did something "not big or small".

At that time, the Guangxi government and the Nanning government were at odds over the direction of Nanning's future development. Wang Yuanqing hopes to build Nanning into a livable political center, rather than a "big and comprehensive" regional central city. In Wang Yuanqing's development plan, Nanning is positioned as a political center with a comfortable living environment, so it is necessary to reduce industry and focus on the development of tourism and service industries. The Nanning municipal government hopes to build Nanning into an economic leading city in Guangxi, putting industrial development in the first place.

In the past, the chairman of the autonomous region would definitely beat the mayor.

Wang Yuanqing did not do this, but personally came forward to have a live debate with the mayor of Nanning on Guangxi local television. Both sides express their opinions to see whose point of view is more reasonable.

After the debate, Wang Yuanqing commissioned a public opinion polling agency run by returned students to conduct a poll in Nanning. Set up feedback platforms on the official website of the government, Sohu, Tencent and many other portals, and invite people from all walks of life in Nanning, as well as people from all walks of life in Guangxi and the whole country to express their opinions and criticize; Conducted online questionnaires and polls on several key issues for the future development of Nanning.

This enlightened and democratic decision-making has evoked strong repercussions across the social and national borders.

On the issue of Nanning's development, the people not only put forward relevant opinions such as "protecting the environment", "benefiting people and businesses", and "developing tourism and service industries", but also put forward opinions that are not very relevant such as "stabilizing housing prices" and "assisting poverty".

The provincial government's open consultation and solicitation of opinions from the public on the development of the provincial capital city has also caused a sensation in the central government.

Zhao Rundong didn't say much about Wang Yuanqing's behavior, after all, Guangxi is a pilot area.

Seizing this opportunity, Wang Yuanqing, in accordance with Ye Zhisheng's proposal, expanded the "future development direction of Nanning" to "the future development direction of Guangxi", and solicited opinions from the people not only on the future development of the Guangxi Autonomous Region, but also from the society on the future development of Guangxi's major cities.

The effect can be imagined, in less than a month, Guangxi has become a star, and Wang Yuanqing has also become a star.

At the end of May, the Guangxi Autonomous Regional Government issued a "Development Plan for the Next 10 Years", in which the downsized regional government and representatives from all walks of life in the regional congress formed the "Autonomous Regional Development Planning Committee", of which the delegates to the congress accounted for 60 percent of the total number of members of the planning committee.

At this point, many people think that Wang Yuanqing has a very wonderful "stage performance".

It's just that after 5 years, no one thinks so. Wang Yuanqing not only extensively solicited the opinions of people from all walks of life, but also earnestly implemented the development plan.

In 2018, when the Guangxi Autonomous Region Congress was re-elected, Wang Yuanqing first implemented the "Representative Election Law", and then submitted the "Autonomous Region's Future Development Plan" to the Autonomous Region Congress for voting in the form of a local law, which eventually became a local law that cannot be easily amended by successive governments in the future.

In addition, Guangxi took the lead in implementing the "Four Bills" and the relevant administrative regulations of the central government, and Wang Yuanqing's identity as a "reformist" has been confirmed and consolidated.

Regarding Wang Yuanqing's series of measures in Guangxi, Zhao Rundong has not intervened.

In the eyes of the outside world, Zhao Rundong did this, most of which was due to Ji Youguo's face. In fact, Zhao Rundong also hopes that Wang Yuanqing can carry out reforms in a big way. In Zhao Rundong's words to Pan Yunsheng, the more thorough Guangxi's reform pilot project is, the smoother the central government's reform in other provinces will be.

Of course, the key to the success of reform is not whether the central authorities support it.

After the implementation of the "four laws" across the country, the only criterion for the success of the reform is whether the people benefit from it and whether they support it.

Ji Youguo has laid a foundation of insight for reform, and whether he can build a better future for the republic on this basis depends on the performance of Ji Youguo's successors such as Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing. (To be continued)
