sat forward again, but they didn't wear masks anymore. 。The business car drove out of the county town, onto the road to the south suburbs, and soon entered a vast expanse of lush bamboo forest. It fin..."I've kept Governor Zhang waiting for too long." 。"Xiao Zheng apologized." 。Zhang Qimei retorted, “It’s not that you’re late, it’s that I arrived early.” 。I think it's about time, so I'm coming out. 。When you called me, I was already on my way. 。Please sit down. 。Zhao Yunyan saw that the two people had something private to discuss, so she said: "Two leaders, if there's anything you need, you can tell the waitstaff outside, or call me directly." 。“The two nodded, thanking her.” 。After Zhao Yinyan left, Xiao Zheng said, "Governor Zhang, has your secretary arrived" Zhang Qimei replied, "She's already in the next room." 。“Xiao Zheng then turned to Yang Xuehu and said, “Xuehu, you go keep him company. Arrange dinner for the two drivers as well.” 。"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." 。Governor Zhang, Secretary Xiao, please take your time chatting. 。"Zhang Qi smiled and said, "Good" 。"Yang Xuehu left after that, and a waiter came in and asked, "Leader, shall we serve the dishes now" Zhang Qimei said, "That's good, let's eat and chat at the same time." 。“The waiter said again, ‘Mr. Zhao has prepared wine for the two leaders, both white and red. If you need any other types of wine, please let me know.’” 。"Zhang Qimei turned to Xiao Zheng: "Who's paying for this meal You or Zhao" Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Governor Zhang, don't worry, I'm treating." 。Zhang Qimei said, "This beautiful Zhao Zong probably wouldn't agree, would she You are the secretary of the municipal party committee, and I am the deputy provincial governor. She would probably want to seize such an opportunity, right"

Xiao Zheng said, "Don't worry, Governor Zhang, this Zhao Zong is not an ordinary businessman. She will listen to me about paying the bill." 。Zhang Qimei, the deputy provincial governor, nodded. "That's good, I can eat this meal with peace of mind. However, the Chinese food here is famous for being expensive. When it comes time to pay the bill, you need to be mentally prepared." 。"Xiao Zheng laughed and said, “Governor Zhang, I have some savings. I can afford this meal.” 。Zhang Qimei also smiled: “The wages of the Party secretary of Dongcao City used to be quite generous, but unfortunately you encountered a financial crisis, so your benefits will probably be cut.” 。"So, our task in the Dongcao team is to find every way possible to boost the economy of Dongcao." 。"That's the spirit." 。Today we're talking business, so no alcohol. Otherwise, we might end up rambling. 。Zhang Qimei said, "This wine will be saved for later." 。“Xiao Zheng came all the way from Dongcao to discuss business, he's not here to drink and have a good time.” 。Although drinking can make people feel excited, developing the economy is not like having a dinner party. It requires enough rationality and wisdom. Xiao Zheng then said: “Regarding what Governor Zhang said, I owe you this drink.” 。Waiter, could we please have a pot of tea 。"OK, please wait a moment." 。The waiter stood with his hands clasped in front of his abdomen, bowed slightly forward, and then stepped back. Soon, he brought a pot of tea, along with several other delicate small dishes. 。Xiao Zheng raised his teacup and toasted Zhang Qiumei: "Governor Zhang, thank you for taking time out of your evening to meet with me." 。About the development of Dongcao **Es, could you also give us some advice 。“Zhang Qimei took a sip of the tea Xiao Zheng had offered her, “Guidance isn’t quite the right word, but since Secretary Xiong personally instructed me, I definitely have to come and discuss this with you.” 。In the context of the current financial crisis, how should small and medium-sized enterprises in Dongcao move forward To be honest, I have some thoughts, but I can't say they are very clear. It's like looking at the world through a layer of mist, hazy and indistinct. 。I know Secretary Xiao, he is very young and his mind is very active. He also has a lot of experience. Maybe he can come up with some inspiration. 。"Xiao Zheng smiled wryly and said, “Thank you, Governor Zhang, for your recognition of my experience and abilities.” 。"But to be honest, I used to work more in economically underdeveloped areas. In An County, my job was to transform production methods that damaged resources and the environment into sustainable ones; in Ninggan Baoyuan and Xihaitou, I focused on poverty alleviation, helping people in mountainous regions escape poverty and achieve a moderately prosperous life." 。Now, we are facing a financial crisis. This is an area where I lack experience, so I'm feeling a bit lost. 。Secretary Xiao, I'd also like to offer you a cup of tea. 。"Zhang Qi said, “This cup of tea, though not wine, is also to give you courage.” 。Whether facing a financial crisis or the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, first of all, I hope you are not afraid. 。When facing a financial crisis, the most important thing is "change"; in more detail, it's "changing within adversity". 。You are developing a "green economy" in Anxian County and engaging in "poverty alleviation and wealth creation" in Baoyuan. Isn't what you're doing "change" Isn't it "change in adversity" Therefore, "poverty alleviation and hardship relief" and responding to the impact of the financial crisis are not two completely separate things, but are internally connected. 。Moreover, in the eyes of leaders, officials who can drive poverty alleviation in a region are likely to be able to cope with the negative impact of a financial crisis. 。Perhaps this is also an important reason why Secretary Xiong dug you out from Ninggan"

"Now, I can't say for sure that it will be able to change the situation where a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in Dongcao are experiencing poor business performance and even shutting down on a large scale." 。"Xiao Zheng said, "But no matter what, we always have to do our best! I will! We also shouldn't just talk, Governor Zhang, you eat some dishes too." 。。Both of them ate some food and drank some tea. 。Zhang Qimei said: "From a national perspective, especially in our Guangdong province, we are directly affected by the US financial crisis. This is mainly because we have a highly export-oriented economy that relies heavily on exports. With declining consumer spending in the US and Europe, it has become difficult for us to export." 。This is what we all see on the surface, in essence, it's still relative overproduction. 。For a long time, we have manufactured a large number of low-value-added and low-end products at the cost of high energy consumption and pollution to meet the needs of the United States and Europe. Now that their economies are facing problems, the demand for these products from them has sharply decreased. 。Moreover, currently India and other developing countries like Vietnam have also joined the production of these high-energy consumption, low added-value products, and their labor costs are even lower, making their products more price-competitive than ours! Therefore, this situation is almost irreversible at present. 。We cannot expect the impact of a financial crisis to disappear automatically someday, nor can we expect to continue producing low-end products in low-end industries to seize the markets of the US and Europe! We cannot return to the past, and those defunct businesses are unlikely to revive. 。So, now we have to say goodbye to the past!”

As the deputy provincial governor, Zhang Qimei truly stands tall and sees far. She possesses a vast amount of information and a profound understanding. 。While some places and certain leaders were still watching and waiting, Zhang Qimei had already realized that the previous extensive production methods and products had become "irreversible" relics of the past. 。Xiao Zheng expressed strong agreement, saying, "Governor Zhang, therefore, economic transformation is essential. Without transformation, not only will there be no way out, but we will also cut off our own path." 。"That's the situation. 。"Zhang Qi said, 'There are two kinds of transformation here, I've considered them, but they are both quite difficult to carry out.'" 。"Hearing this, Governor Zhang probably had a brilliant idea. Xiao Zheng immediately said, 'We are not afraid of difficulty, only of not thinking of it! As long as it is beneficial to economic transformation, we must try it.'" 。Zhang Qimei looked at Xiao Zheng, quite satisfied with his positive and determined attitude. She smiled faintly: "These two types of transformation are one is the image enhancement of traditional industries; the other is the strong support for new industries." 。The traditional industries I'm talking about, such as clothing, furniture, watches, and toys, are all essential to people's lives both domestically and internationally. 。Why a normal bag wouldn't cause any attention, but a Chanel or Hermès bag would, even at such high prices, is because of the brand effect! That’s why traditional industries need image design and packaging to increase their added value! However, Dongcao, including other cities in Guangdong province, used to focus on labor-intensive manufacturing and paid less attention to design and packaging. In this area, only Hong Kong has companies with a high standard! Our local companies lack the competence, so our influence on the international stage is weak, to say the least!

“Since Hong Kong has those companies that are good at design and packaging, we should invite them to collaborate!” Xiao Zheng said excitedly, “They have the design and packaging capabilities, while we have strong manufacturing abilities. A strong partnership will benefit both sides!” 。And in the process of cooperation, it can also promote the learning and improvement of design and packaging capabilities for our company and enterprises, enhancing the added value of products. Isn't that a good thing

" This is indeed a win-win situation. 。"Zhang Qimei said, “But this requires someone to act as a bridge, especially companies with influence in Hong Kong, or even design companies directly involved." 。Because I didn't prioritize this area before, I currently lack the resources and connections in this field to bring in. 。"I'll go ask, I should be able to find it. This is a win-win for both sides. We can even invite these companies to visit and inspect us. The hospitality expenses, we'll cover them generously!"

At this moment, Xiao Zheng's mind flashed with the Yu family in Xiangjiang. 。Zhang Qimei couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any connections in Hong Kong"Xiao Zheng said: "Didn't I go to Hong Kong a few days ago I met a few new friends, and I don't know if they can be of any help But anyway, now it's 'trying every avenue', we have to ask and try!" Zhang Qimei naturally remembered right away that Xiao Zheng went to Hong Kong to bring back Luo Caiguang, the chairman of Tianwang Group. It definitely relied on the people in Hong Kong to help. 。However, catching people and doing design are two different things after all. Zhang Qimei couldn't be sure if Xiao Zheng could find contacts at well-known design companies to help improve the traditional industries in Yuezhou. 。So, Zhang Qimei could only say: "Then you'd better inquire about it first." 。, whiskey, cigars, and wife cakes." 。"One Standing Committee member said, “The first three are all good, but the last ‘wife cake’, if it could be changed to ‘wife’ that would be better.” 。All the sta...
