Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

"That should count as an emergency avoidance," Xiong Xu realized immediately after listening, and couldn't help but sigh, "Being a leader is really tiring."

Zhang Wenjie smiled without saying anything, sat down on the sofa opposite Xiong Xu, crossed his legs, and said, "I heard that your breeding base has expanded to 600 acres, right?"

Xiong Xu nodded.

"In my opinion, the expansion cost of your breeding base is too high. To expand, you can only flatten mountains. I estimate that more than half of the money you've earned in the past six months has been invested in this mountain flattening project."

"Why don't you expand the breeding base outwards, building new bases in other parts of Shigang Town? This way, your expansion costs will be lower, it will bring rental income to the local area, and it will provide employment. Why not?"

Zhang Wenjie expressed his thoughts, giving Xiong Xu this suggestion.

In Zhang Wenjie's view, this suggestion would be of great benefit to both the Shan Xiong Breeding Company and the overall economy of Shigang Town.

After listening to these words, Xiong Xu also admitted in his heart that it was a good suggestion, but he didn't want to do it.

The reason was simple: Xiong Xu wanted to increase employment opportunities by expanding the breeding base in the village, attract an influx of people, and increase the foot traffic in Shan Xiong Village. Only by revitalizing the foot traffic could Shan Xiong Village develop better; relying solely on internal consumption was far from enough.

However, he certainly couldn't tell Zhang Wenjie this.

Otherwise, he would definitely be scolded.

"I'll go back and consider it," Xiong Xu said.

Zhang Wenjie nodded, not asking Xiong Xu to make an immediate statement.

After all, Xiong Xu was both the village committee secretary and the chairman of the company, and the government had no right to interfere with the company's planning.

"It's almost time, we should leave," Zhang Wenjie raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was already 2:30 PM, and the county meeting was scheduled for 4:00 PM, leaving only an hour and a half. If they didn't leave soon, they would be late.

"Let's go," Xiong Xu followed Zhang Wenjie out of the office, taking Xiong Xu's car to the county. However, because Xiong Xu had drunk alcohol at noon, he couldn't drive, so Zhang Wenjie became Xiong Xu's driver for once.

However, Zhang Wenjie was quite willing to be the driver of this Mercedes-Benz G500.

At 3:45 PM, Zhang Wenjie and Xiong Xu successfully arrived at the entrance of the county government building, and then Xiong Xu followed Zhang Wenjie to the conference room.

The conference room of the county government was much larger than that of the town government, with an area of nearly 300 square meters. The podium was also covered with a red carpet, and the speaker's chairs were all made of solid wood.

The meeting was about to begin, and many county leaders and some local business representatives were already sitting in their seats.

As for why there were business representatives attending the meeting, it was because this was an annual meeting focused on the economy. Xiong Xu was also attending the meeting as the chairman of Shan Xiong Breeding Company.

Zhang Wenjie and Xiong Xu entered the conference room and began looking for their seats. Each seat had a nameplate. Zhang Wenjie quickly found his in the first row.

Xiong Xu also quickly found his seat in the C position of the fifth row.

As the time for the meeting drew closer, the number of people in the conference room increased. People sat on both sides of Xiong Xu, but apart from Zhang Wenjie, Xiong Xu didn't recognize anyone else present.

Perhaps some people recognized Xiong Xu, but whether they recognized him or not, no one came over to talk to Xiong Xu. After all, they only knew Xiong Xu from when he was being cyberbullied and his photos were being spread around.

The main reason was that Xiong Xu was involved in breeding, and the business representatives present who were qualified to attend the meeting were not involved in breeding. Their interests didn't align, so naturally no one came over to build relationships.

Society is very realistic.

The time quickly came to 4:00 PM. Perhaps leaders like to be punctual. Secretary Miao Ge also entered the venue at 4:00 PM, sitting on the podium with many deputy county-level leaders.

"At today's meeting, we will not discuss specific matters. Through this meeting, the government will report our economic situation this year to all sectors of society. Now, let's have Wang Chaoke, the Party Secretary and Director of the County Party Committee Statistics Bureau, give a report to everyone," Secretary Miao Ge forcefully opened the theme of the meeting and handed over the reporting work to Director Wang Chaoke.

Wang Chaoke took out the prepared form and read the contents, saying, "According to statistics from the Statistics Bureau, Le'an County's GDP this year is 51 billion yuan, an increase of 7.1 billion yuan compared to last year's 43.9 billion yuan!"

"The top five towns and subdistricts in Le'an County in terms of GDP this year are: First place: Yongshui Town, GDP 10.5 billion yuan; Second place: Ziyang Subdistrict, GDP 9.1 billion yuan; Third place: Tasha Subdistrict, GDP 8.7 billion yuan; Fourth place: Zhongpu Town, GDP 4.8 billion yuan; Fifth place: Lexiang Town, GDP 4.3 billion yuan!"

Wang Chaoke announced the top five towns and subdistricts in Le'an County in terms of GDP this year. The cadres present were not surprised at all after hearing this. Over the years, the top five in Le'an County's GDP have basically been these five subdistricts and towns.

"The bottom three towns and subdistricts in Le'an County in terms of GDP this year are: Last place: Gaojia Town, GDP 1.4 billion yuan; Second to last place: Mingkou Town, GDP 1.6 billion yuan; Third to last place: Taqian Town, GDP 2 billion yuan!"

Wang Chaoke continued to read from the list.

After hearing the list of the top five, everyone was not surprised. However, after hearing the list of the bottom three, everyone was surprised, especially the secretaries of Gaojia Town, Mingkou Town, and Taqian Town, who looked dumbfounded.

The secretary of Gaojia Town was thinking: Isn't the last place supposed to be Shigang Town?

The secretary of Mingkou Town was thinking: Haven't I always been third to last?

The secretary of Taqian Town was thinking: What, my 2 billion yuan actually made it into the bottom three! Where is Shigang Town?

"Here, I want to especially commend Shigang Town. Shigang Town's GDP has exceeded 3 billion yuan this year, ranking 7th in the county, with a GDP growth rate of over 200%!" Secretary Miao Ge said on the podium, praising Shigang Town on the spot.

Zhang Wenjie's face broke into a smile, feeling unprecedentedly comfortable.

The other town and subdistrict secretaries had incredulous expressions. They knew that Shigang Town had produced a Shan Xiong Breeding Company, which could increase Shigang Town's GDP a lot, but they didn't expect that Shigang Town's GDP would grow so fast. Last year it was only 700 million yuan, and they thought that even with the Shan Xiong Breeding Company this year, it would only increase by 300-400 million yuan at most. As a result, it suddenly jumped to 3 billion yuan this year.

This is like taking a plane!

"Shigang Town's tax revenue this year has reached nearly 250 million yuan, which is 11 times that of last year, ranking fifth in the county. Let's applaud and encourage them!" Secretary Miao Ge took the lead in applauding.

The people below also applauded, while the secretaries of the three towns, including Gaojia Town, applauded with pained expressions.

The most uncomfortable one was Taqian Town. Being in the bottom three meant having to give a report on the county TV station, and he had no preparation at all.

"Here, I also want to especially commend an individual, and that is Xiong Xu, the chairman of Shan Xiong Breeding Company and the village committee secretary of Shan Xiong Village."
