Chapter 965 Airport Pickup
Shao Heping told the truth when facing the organization's inquiries. He first admitted his mistakes at work and did not shy away from saying that he would take the responsibility without . Then Shao Heping talked about his views on the current situation and some of his own ideas.
This conversation did not last long, and judging from the other party's attitude, it was very bland. In Shao Heping's opinion, it was just a routine conversation.
After the conversation, Shao Heping didn't think much about it and continued to do his job. Before the final conclusion was reached, Shao Heping was still the executive vice president. In addition, due to the impact of the real estate bubble, Lucheng's workload was much greater than before, and there were other matters that needed to be coordinated and handled.
Nearly a month passed in this busy manner. In September, Shao Heping suddenly received a notice asking him to go again. This time, Shao Heping felt that the final result might be out soon. At this time, Shao Heping no longer had the initial uneasiness. On the contrary, he was ready to bear everything. He sorted out his personal belongings in the office and came to the place where they had met last time.
But he didn't expect that this time, the people who came to talk to him were not only the comrades from last time, but also several leaders from the province. The atmosphere of the conversation was much more harmonious than last time, and even the tone of voice was a little different from last time.
During the conversation, he first severely criticized Shao Heping's work problems and pointed out his mistakes and responsibilities. But after saying this, the other party changed the subject and also affirmed Shao Heping's achievements in his work, especially his ideas on Lucheng's infrastructure and commercial development.
In the end, to Shao Heping's surprise, the organization made the final decision on how to deal with Shao Heping. In addition to the responsibilities Shao Heping needed to bear, the organization also hoped that Shao Heping would continue to serve in Lucheng, and that the executive vice president would serve as acting mayor, actually presiding over the current work in Lucheng and coordinating solutions to Lucheng's local economic problems caused by the real estate bubble.
When Shao Heping left the office and walked out of the building, he seemed to have not yet come to his senses.
He stopped and looked back at the building he had just walked out of. Shao Heping was still a little dizzy. He had never thought that the final result of his treatment would be like this. Not only did he not get demoted to the bottom, but he also took a step forward and officially took charge of Lucheng. For Shao Heping, it was like a dream.
Looking back, Shao Heping felt that this result was inseparable from Song Yuanchao's reminder. If it weren't for Song Yuanchao's reminder, Shao Heping would not have focused on infrastructure construction and tried his best to control the progress of Lucheng's real estate .
In addition, Shao Heping also has unique insights into the economic development of Lucheng. In his previous communication with Song Yuanchao, Song Yuanchao suggested that Shao Heping should focus on the tertiary industry, namely tourism and service industries, in the future economic development of Lucheng.
The reason for this is that the industrial structure and transportation issues of Lucheng and the entire Qiongdao Island are taken into consideration, as well as the unique geographical advantages and scenic conditions of Lucheng. Although Shao Heping has not done much work in this regard in the past few years, at least he has taken the first step, and the organization has also seen this during the evaluation and inspection of Shao Heping's work. After comprehensively considering many situations, this decision was finally made.
In this way, Shao Heping continued to stay in Lucheng and began to preside over the actual work of the Lucheng government. However, from last year to this year, nearly half a year, Shao Heping's work focus was still on how to solve a series of problems caused by the bursting of the real estate bubble.
In order to solve this problem, Shao Heping made many adjustments, and with some assistance from his superiors, the situation in Lucheng gradually improved after hard work.
But after all, the losses and impacts caused by the bursting of the real estate bubble are too great. According to the current economic losses in Lucheng, if the problem is solved step by step, it may not be completed in ten years. Moreover, the unfinished buildings everywhere in Lucheng are as ugly as stubborn scars in this city. Anyone who goes to Lucheng can feel the depression and desolation after the bursting of the real estate bubble at a glance. The once bustling Lucheng seems to be two different cities from the current Lucheng.
After taking a long puff of his cigarette and extinguishing the almost burned cigarette butt in the ashtray, Shao Heping stood up, walked to the window overlooking the sea, and reached out to push it open.
A slightly salty sea breeze blew over, the sunset in the distance was about to disappear, and the sky was about to darken.
He frowned slightly and looked to the left. Within his sight, two buildings that had not yet been topped off were clearly visible. These were two unfinished buildings. There were many such unfinished buildings in Lucheng. This was still considered good. Compared with some real estate projects that had not even laid the foundation but had already been pledged, at least these two buildings were almost completed.
Shao Heping took a long sigh and felt the heavy burden on his shoulders. Yesterday, Shao Heping went to the province to attend a meeting. The meeting was attended by major cadres from all over Qiongdao Province and the banking system. The content of the meeting was still how to solve a series of problems facing Qiongdao after the bursting of the real estate bubble.
Although the situation in Lucheng is slightly better than that in other cities, many problems still exist. After nearly a year of hard work, Shao Heping has done most of what he can do. The remaining unresolved problems cannot be solved by Shao Heping alone.
The next day at noon, Shao Heping did not meet his subordinates in the office as usual, or work in the office. Shao Heping did not even bring his secretary today, and drove to the airport alone.
The Lucheng Airport project was launched a few years ago when Qiongdao was established as a province. It has been under construction in recent years and was only completed recently.
The completed airport has made transportation between Lucheng and the mainland much more convenient. With flights arriving in Lucheng, traveling from the mainland to Lucheng no longer requires crossing the sea to Coconut City first, and then taking a car from Coconut City to Lucheng.
With the airport, you can directly fly to Lucheng, which is very beneficial to the development of Lucheng. Some time ago, Lucheng Airport was completed and put into use. Shao Heping also attended the ceremony on behalf of the Lucheng Municipal Government. But today he did not come here as an official, but as an individual, because he came to pick someone up.
When he arrived, Shao Heping parked his car in the parking lot, but did not get out to wait at the exit, because too many people knew his face and he was worried that he would be recognized by the airport staff as soon as he appeared at the exit, so he sat in the car and waited quietly.
Moreover, the car he drove today was not the one he usually drove, but a car he found temporarily. When the time was almost up, he looked at his watch, opened the door and got out of the car. Standing beside the car, he put on a pair of sunglasses and looked towards the exit not far away.
About half an hour later, Song Chaoyuan's figure finally appeared in Shao Heping's eyes. Shao Heping picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number, watching Song Yuanchao pick up the phone to answer the call in the distance.
After exchanging a few brief words on the phone, Shao Heping hung up and continued to wait. Soon Song Yuanchao walked over here and found Shao Heping a few minutes later.
"Brother Shao!"
"Aid North Korea!"
When they met, the two shook hands and didn't say anything else. Song Yuanchao got into Shao Heping's car with his simple luggage. Shao Heping sat in the driving seat, started the car, skillfully steered the wheel, left the airport, and headed towards the city.
"Your sister-in-law and children are in Yanjing, and I'm the only one at home. You can stay at home this time." When they arrived at Shao Heping's house, Shao Heping took Song Yuanchao to sit in the living room and said.
"Is it convenient?" Song Chaoyuan asked.
"What's the inconvenience? You are not a stranger. Besides, how can any other place be better than home? Listen to me, you will stay here this time. I have asked someone to tidy up the room. Go and take a look later. If there is anything missing, just tell me and I will arrange it." Handing Song Yuanchao a cigarette, Shao Heping said with a smile.
Song Chaoyuan nodded, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Shao Heping, then lit one for himself.
"Brother Shao, has your work been going well lately?" Song Yuanchao asked after taking a puff of cigarette.
"It's not so bad. You know the situation in Lucheng. It's not so easy to clean up this mess." Shao Heping sighed lightly. He didn't need to hide anything from Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao was not an outsider. Not only because of Lin Daoyuan, but also because this time Shao Heping was able to stay in Lucheng and make further progress. If it weren't for Song Yuanchao's reminder and guidance back then, Shao Heping might have been sitting on the bench somewhere now.
"You've seen it all the way back from the airport. Although the situation in Lucheng is better than that in Coconut City, it's still not optimistic. After the real estate bubble burst, the local area is in a mess. You know Lucheng's fiscal revenue. There wasn't much money to begin with, and the banks have also suffered heavy losses. It's not an easy task for us to solve these problems on our own..." After taking a puff of cigarette, Shao Heping told Song Chaoyuan about the current situation. Song Chaoyuan listened quietly without interrupting. This was his first time in Lucheng since last year. Although he had not seen the tragic situation during the real estate bubble with his own eyes, the current depressed situation in Lucheng showed how it was back then.
Shao Heping did not hide anything and told Song Yuanchao the many problems that Lucheng was facing now. The main problems, apart from those left over from the bursting of the real estate bubble, also included Lucheng's economy and other situations. Everything was complicated and extremely difficult.
Although Shao Heping made a lot of efforts and made some changes, the overall effect was minimal. The key was that the local government had no money. Such a large gap could not be solved by relying on local finances. This time he specifically called Song Chaoyuan to come over. Shao Heping asked Song Yuanchao for help because after much thought, he felt that the only person who had the ability to help him, who could come up with actual money and who could be absolutely trusted was probably Song Chaoyuan.
