From 1986, Macheng was recognized as an open city in the State Council on 199 1, and the next year, Jinqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone (provincial level) was established. 1 September 19961Macheng Station of Beijing-Kowloon Railway, which was put into operation, occupies an important position as a second-class section station and a Beijing-Guangzhou liaison station. On June 22nd, 2004, the groundbreaking ceremony was officially held in Dabie Mountain Thermal Power Plant, Hubei Province, and the full score of 12 was obtained. In the same year, the industrial park in Jinqiao Development Zone also achieved initial results, and some factories were officially put into operation. In 20061-August, nine new industrial projects 19 were introduced into the park, among which nine projects have been started, including eight projects with an investment of 50 million yuan. 1-At the beginning of August, the whole city * * * introduced various projects 143, with the capital of 3180,000 yuan, and 37 projects are under negotiation.
At the same time, in recent years, the infrastructure construction in the central city of our city is also developing in an all-round way, and the transformation and expansion of the new old city are also being carried out on a large scale. The completion of commercial pedestrian street, the transformation of four main roads, the improvement of urban pipe network, the reconstruction and expansion of inner city ring road, etc. Under the leadership of the municipal party Committee and the municipal government, our city has achieved good results in attracting investment. Dozens of large and medium-sized foreign-funded enterprises have successively entered our city, taking the lead in industrial structure adjustment, trade adjustment, agricultural deep processing and real estate tourism development, creating a new situation. In recent years, the city's economy has begun to recover. In 2005, the GDP reached 475,654.38+billion yuan, the per capita GDP was 4,086 yuan, the fiscal revenue was 34,654.38+billion yuan, the fixed assets investment of the whole society was 2.607 billion yuan, the total retail sales of social consumer goods was 2.069 billion yuan, the total export volume was 4,654.38+million dollars, and the accumulated foreign capital utilization was 936.543. The total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size is 65.438+46.7 billion yuan, the per capita disposable income of urban residents is 6,003 yuan, the per capita income of farmers is 25,365.438+0 yuan, and the annual salary of ordinary employees (on-the-job) is 8,794 yuan, with obvious GDP growth.
What is more gratifying today is that China's modernization process has been accelerated under the excellent situation of rapid economic growth throughout the country. At the beginning of 2006, the national transportation network layout was implemented ahead of schedule. Among them; The "Shanghai-Han Rong" express railway, "Daguang" and "Hefei-Wuhu-Bengbu" national key expressways have been started in an all-round way, and our city will be fortunate to become a new north-south and east-west transportation hub.
No matter from the strategic or economic point of view, this unique geographical condition will create great potential for the future development of our city, lay a good foundation for the scale of urban development, and create conditions for the administrative level upgrade of our city!
We should firmly grasp this historical opportunity, seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with a positive attitude, steady pace and solid work, complete the task of urban upgrading of our generation, and lay a good foundation for the sustainable development of future generations. We will meet this historic task with a more open attitude, create a brand-new situation together with Qixin surrounding cities, further develop ourselves and enhance our economic strength.
Today, on this auspicious day to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our city's founding, we must be filled with emotion after summing up and reviewing the 20-year struggle: it's really not easy along the way, and it can be said that the ups and downs are full of flavor. At this moment of mixed feelings, we will also be greatly encouraged by our past achievements. Look forward to the 30th anniversary with more confidence. Because at that time, AD 20 16 was destined to be a special year, which would verify a period of history; A city with a glorious revolutionary tradition, the development course of self-improvement and hard struggle, will be recorded in history. ......
However, what major changes will take place in our city in the next decade? What problems will we face? Are we fully prepared for the unprecedented opportunities and the challenges that follow? Where are the countermeasures?
Next, we try to look forward to the discussion from the following aspects: the future economic development prospects and direction of Macheng, as well as some problems worthy of discussion and research.
I. Strategic opportunities and ideology
Deng Xinsheng, secretary of the CPC Macheng Municipal Committee, said this when looking forward to the future development of Macheng; The 11th Five-Year Plan period is a crucial period for Macheng's economic and social development by leaps and bounds. Guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, we will conscientiously implement the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee, insist on using Scientific Outlook on Development to guide the overall situation of economic and social development, and strive to promote faster and better economic development in accordance with the working idea of "seizing three opportunities, highlighting investment attraction, promoting three industrial integration and realizing three growth". Strive to achieve the goal of "three double-digit growth and one steady growth": the city's GDP grows at an average annual rate of more than 1 1%, the local general budget revenue grows at an average annual rate of more than 15%, and the fixed assets investment of the whole society grows at an average annual rate of more than 20%; The per capita net income of farmers has increased steadily, with an average annual increase of more than 6%. At present, Macheng is facing a golden opportunity for development. Change passive waiting into active attack, seize opportunities actively, make full use of opportunities, and strive to achieve leap-forward development.
We fully agree with this idea of the municipal party committee and municipal government, and also fully believe that the leading collective of our city has the ability and determination to accomplish this set goal. However, we must set this goal higher and ask them to lead the masses to a well-off society faster and further! Therefore, we hope that Macheng's future planning should have a strategic awareness, and the medium and long-term planning should have a more strategic vision!
Although the word "strategy" has a certain height, if we don't judge the situation from a strategic height and look far-sighted, we will be caught off guard and lack the ability to seize opportunities and continue to create. If you leave regrets because of this, it will only be a few people's life regrets. However, if the fleeting "golden fighter" is lost because of this, the short-term interests and long-term development opportunities will be lost because of insufficient understanding and deep understanding. So that it is a sin not to give the next generation space and conditions for sustainable development!
It can be said that the formation of decision-making ideology at this stage will determine the future economic trend of our city in a long period of time. The value orientation of the collective leadership is very important. It can also be said that there should be a qualitative improvement and leap in leadership consciousness and level. We should look at our own economic development from the perspective of economic globalization and regional economic integration, and seek a road suitable for our own economic development. This is what we are required to do, and it is very difficult to realize in advance or even nip in the bud. But if we are strict with ourselves, respect the objective laws of history and the development of things, and do effective and pragmatic work scientifically and legally. And with a sense of responsibility for the people in the old liberated areas who yearn for a better life, it is entirely possible. Let's analyze and discuss the ideology under strategic opportunities and the cognitive level under strategic opportunities.
(A), the strategic opportunity of ideological renewal
In recent ten years, under the tide of reform and opening up, Macheng has made certain achievements in system reform and economic construction. However, behind these superficial achievements, some disadvantages can also be seen. Perhaps these disadvantages are not obvious under the current policies and development plans, and the problems are not prominent. But the problem must be a problem, which will eventually become an obstacle to the economic development of our city. Then it will be a blessing if we can recognize these problems earlier so as to avoid or solve them as soon as possible.
Having said that, we have to talk about a "consciousness" issue, such as our awareness of attracting investment. This "consciousness" is different from "knowledge", and it is a level of understanding and understanding the spirit of instructions from superiors. It is another level to objectively dialectic the "late effect" of each project from the perspective of development and pursue quality rather than quantity.
1. The consciousness of the Chief Executive must be updated.
(1) Only by strengthening the "sense of hardship" can we realize the connotation of opportunities. Facing the opportunity, our municipal government is also undergoing some changes. In fact, as the highest administrative organ of a place, people in it feel much more pressure than others. As the saying goes, "the train runs fast, all with the front belt." Our government is the locomotive. Facing the current opportunities and challenges, facing the people's expectations, the "locomotive" should have the spirit of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later", and also have the spirit of "not developing is retrogression!" Sense of hardship.
(2) "advanced consciousness". In the face of the new situation of rapid economic development, "speeding up" is certain, and the number and extent of this "speeding up" will be unprecedented. To a large extent, these opportunities are "ahead of schedule". Can we grasp them well and turn them into reality? Our "pre-judgment ability and advanced consciousness" will be strengthened.
(3) "sense of responsibility and history". Seize the opportunity to develop Macheng economy rapidly and lay a solid foundation for building a medium-sized city and a modern city. At this time, a clean, efficient and fully service-oriented government is particularly important. Speaking of specifics; The chief executive of our government is facing opportunities and challenges, and their behavior and ideology will be integrated into the government management system. At a deeper level, as decision makers and executors, they determine the future development of our city. Therefore, whether our government's management level and decision-making level are scientific and reasonable and can meet the needs of development has put forward higher requirements for all our leading cadres. You should have a strong sense of responsibility and work and struggle with deep feelings of being responsible for history and the people.
2. People's ideology has improved.
(1) "Blind optimism". This kind of people are mostly. Facing the opportunity, some people are very excited and think it's great! The development opportunity of Macheng has arrived. After several years of rapid construction and development, everyone can live a good life. Most of them are optimistic that with state funds, everything can be solved, and the fast railways and highways built by the state have passed the door. Can the road to a well-off society be far behind? In fact, this kind of blind optimism is not confined to ordinary people.
(2) "Numbness and pessimism". There are also some people who are conservative. Pessimistically, we think that large-scale industrial and transportation construction consumes a large area of land. Foreign investors crowded out some local industries and made local money. Even think that the foreign population has affected their originally peaceful life. It is true that with the acceleration of urban development and the increase of floating population, our quaint town with a long history has lost its tranquility. However, the economic and urban development opportunities brought by this are not seen by many people. Some people think that these have little to do with themselves. Urban development and construction is a public affair, lacking a sense of participation.
(B), the cognitive level of strategic opportunities
Facing the current strategic opportunities. We can't expect everyone in Macheng to call Macheng my home at once. Construction depends on everyone. "This slogan is turning into action. We only know that there is a process in the development of tasks, and the quality of development depends on this "process". Its importance is self-evident. Our propaganda department should correctly and effectively play the role of public opinion guidance, so that everyone can understand that only hard work can lead a good life, and down-to-earth development of their own economy is the last word.
This is not a simple superstructure problem. Only by seeking the consensus of the general public can we lay a solid foundation for future development and construction. With this strong backing, our affairs will be much easier. It is very important to raise everyone's awareness and publicize the current favorable development situation. We should create a new situation in construction:
1. Faced with opportunities, some people are at a loss. After the "Beijing-Kowloon" was built and the railway station was built, we didn't see any great development. At least the salary has not risen, and these negative thoughts must be guided.
2. Of course, we should not be eager for quick success and instant benefit, but blindly pursue the speed and total amount of economic growth, without paying attention to or even ignoring the quality and actual effect of economic growth and the external diseconomy of industrial economic growth.
3. When Macheng is my home. "Building depends on everyone" is no longer a slogan, but the common aspiration of the broad masses of the people. When we can consciously and voluntarily contribute to the development of Macheng, our cognitive level will reach a timely height. By then, the labor scene of "ten thousand people are United and ten thousand red flags are flying" will reappear. Our "spirit of lifting the river" and "upsurge of water conservancy construction" will reappear in this hot land.
(C) Self-positioning under strategic opportunities
What should I do for the development of Macheng? Become a question that every Macheng person should ask himself.
Macheng * * * has jurisdiction over 14 towns, 2 townships, 3 sub-district offices and 1 provincial development zones, with a total population of1.20,000. Although our city has always been the largest county-level city in Huanggang, its economic development is not dominant, and there is also a gap compared with the development speed of several brother counties and cities along the Yangtze River. History has proved that where traffic is developed, the economy is bound to be developed. The development experience of Wuxue City and Huangmei Xiaochi tells us that their development and changes in recent years are obvious because of these geographical and transportation advantages.
Political economy tells us that politics and economy are closely related, and the development of a region cannot be separated from its policies and guidelines. But we can't just rely on preferential policies. Our production relations should be adapted to our productivity level. Take economic construction as the center, thoroughly reform the economic system and gradually establish a mature and perfect socialist market economic system and economic operation mode. Only in this way can we make good use of policies and seize development opportunities to develop ourselves. Now we should have a clear understanding that we are facing the best development opportunity in history, so our economy will develop greatly. In this important development process, our city will develop into a modern medium-sized city, which will stand out from the ancient Dabie Mountains and become a famous star city. This should be our current urban orientation. [See Figure 6, Editor's Note]
Where the city is, the development goal is clear. Our thoughts are also prepared to have a sense of self-positioning in the period of strategic opportunities. What we should think and do should also give ourselves a "position". Whether you are a cadre, a worker, a farmer, a businessman, a student or an unemployed person, as long as you are from Macheng or have feelings and connections with Macheng. No matter what position, ability or wealth you are in, please contribute to the construction of Macheng. We warmly welcome Macheng people who have studied, worked and lived abroad to come back and participate in the construction of their hometown. I hope you can introduce the development opportunities of Macheng and bring back business opportunities. The more projects, funds, advanced technology and experience are introduced, the faster the development of Macheng will be.
The leaders of our municipal party committee and municipal government must attach importance to the important factor in the relationship between productive forces, that is, people. Only by unifying everyone's understanding to a strategic level can we form a joint force. With the strength and spirit of "one rope", we can have strong productivity and confidence to overcome all difficulties! We should regard it as a spirit, an idea, and go deep into everyone's heart. By then, there is no doubt that our future is bright.
