Recently, Qiushi magazine published an article entitled "How to Do Economic Work in the New Development Stage?" -- Comrade Xi Jinping's Practice and Enlightenment of Economic Work in Hebei and Fujian", combing and summarizing the outstanding characteristics of Xi Jinping's economic work when working in Hebei and Fujian, has a strong guiding significance for leading cadres at all levels to do a good job in economic work in the new development stage.

Today, on the basis of this article, the group has edited and sorted out some of its contents for the team members to learn.

During his work in Hebei and Fujian, Xi Jinping's speeches and articles have a distinctive feature - there is no necessary word to call the central government, but the spirit of the central government runs through the whole article and truly implements the deployment of the party central committee.

In 1988, in response to the aggravation of inflation and the serious problem of redundant construction, the central government carried out rectification and rectification, and the economy of Ningde, Fujian Province, was affected. Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Ningde Prefectural Party Committee, said during the deployment work: "The overall situation of eastern Fujian can only be subordinated to the overall situation of the province and even the whole country. In the current macroeconomic adjustment work, if it is necessary to sacrifice local interests, it should still be willing to bear. ”

In the face of the complaints of some cadres, Xi Jinping talked about his understanding: "Governance and rectification is not to collect and stop reform, but to create good conditions for deepening reform and to make the economy develop smoother and healthier." He demanded that during the period of governance and rectification, new projects must not be put on, but the preliminary work of project demonstration should not be relaxed and should be strengthened.

Xi Jinping always puts local work in the overall situation of national development. When the interests of the authorities and the general authorities conflict with the interests of the overall situation, they shall resolutely obey the interests of the overall situation; and resolutely refrain from doing what is feasible in the local area but not in the overall situation. In 1992, in response to the popular argument in coastal open areas that "detour when encountering red lights, rushing to go when encountering yellow lights, and walking quickly when encountering green lights", Xi Jinping asked leading cadres to consider problems at the national level and strategic height, and repeatedly stressed that things that violate the principles of the central government must not be done.

Thoroughly grasping the spirit of the central authorities is the premise and key to implementing the central policies well, and is also the basis for doing a good job in economic work. In his work, the reason why Xi Jinping has accurately grasped the central policy and can seek a domain with the attitude of seeking the overall situation is that he has made great efforts to study the major policies of the central government in different periods. During his tenure in Fuzhou, Xi Jinping proposed a "three-step method" for work, the first step being to "conscientiously study and comprehend the spirit of the central government and study measures for implementation."

In Xi Jinping's view, respecting the law of economic development is the foundation of doing a good job in economic work. He once pointed out: "There are still many laws of the socialist market economy that have not yet been understood and grasped by people, and we must be good at exploring and grasping the laws of the socialist market economy. ”

As early as the early stage of China's socialist market economy construction, Xi Jinping had a profound and comprehensive understanding of the long-term, gradual and complex nature of the construction of product markets and factor markets. For example, he emphasized that information is the eyes and ears of commodity production, and promoted the establishment of special information collection and release institutions during the zhengding work; he attached importance to the law of supply and demand, and repeatedly proposed to guide the majority of enterprises to establish a modern marketing concept of organizing production according to consumer demand, and truly achieve on-demand production.

Indeed, we must not go against objective laws in grasping economic work, and we must not keep our eyes on things that do not meet the conditions. When working in Ningde, Xi Jinping proposed not to engage in "three major events" - the development of the Port of Sanduo, the construction of the Fuwen Railway, and the construction of a central city in Saiqi. He also pointed out that the people of eastern Fujian have become a problem even with food and clothing, and the regional conditions and regional strength simply do not have the conditions for leapfrog development and large-scale development, and they cannot blindly seek extraordinary development. This is a typical example of a scientific grasp of the stage of economic development based on the local conditions at that time.

In terms of serving enterprises to stimulate the vitality of market players, Xi Jinping also pioneered many ideological practices that are still very advanced. For example, when working in Ningde, the local fiscal revenue and expenditure were tight, and some cadres had the wrong idea of collecting excessive taxes (fees), Xi Jinping stopped it in time, emphasizing that only when the enterprise develops, the fiscal revenue has the source of living water, and it is necessary to have the financial concept of "giving first and then taking, cultivating the source of wealth", and not doing the stupid thing of "exhausting the water and fishing".

At the beginning of this century, Fujian investigated and dealt with the extraordinarily large smuggling case in Xiamen Yuanhua, and after the case was investigated, some cadres did not dare to associate with entrepreneurs. Faced with this situation, Xi Jinping held a forum for entrepreneurs for the first time. He said: "Whether it is a government official or an entrepreneur, everyone always has to come and go, there are always things to discuss, you come and go, what is the relationship?" It is the friendship of gentlemen who are as light as water. "Xi Jinping's statements and actions are rare even today."

During his work in Hebei and Fujian, Xi Jinping always insisted on research first. During the two years of working in Ningde, he carried hiking poles and straw hats, crossed mountains and mountains, cut thorns and thorns, and traveled to every county in Ningde. Some of the very remote and isolated mountain villages he set foot in have not even been visited by officials at or above the county level for hundreds of years.

Xi Jinping believes that without investigation, there is no right to speak, let alone decision-making power. When working in Zhengding, he asked a number of questions about how to choose a good project: Is the source of raw materials guaranteed? Is the shipping supply timely? Are the equipment, technology, funds and other conditions available? How many manufacturers of similar projects are there in the country? What is the production status? Is the product sales smooth? How much is the profit? How long is the life force? Answer these questions to decide whether to get on the horse. Answering these questions is obviously inseparable from solid investigation and research.

The purpose of the survey is to determine the development ideas and formulate long-term plans. In this regard, Xi Jinping had a brilliant exposition when working in Zhengding: "Zhengding development, first of all, we must study what is the law of Zhengding's economic development, and on this basis, combined with the reality of Zhengding, formulate a development plan for 10 to 15 years" "The planning of Zhengding County, after full study, discussion, trade-offs, and maturity, is then fixed through the legislation of the people's congress."

Xi Jinping once presided over the formulation of the overall plan of Fuzhou's "3820" project, that is, the development plan of Fuzhou City for 3 years, 8 years and 20 years, which is far from being comparable to the 5-year plan of ordinary cities in China. He stressed: After the plan is formulated, it is necessary to continue to work one stubble after another. During his work in Fuzhou, he would guide the county (district) work on the implementation of the "3820" project at the beginning of each year. After 20 years, all the indicators of the "3820" project have been achieved, and the average annual economic growth rate of Fuzhou has reached 15.42%.

Why does Xi Jinping always have a lot of unique insights and forward-looking thinking in his work? One of the important reasons is that he always insists on learning. Xi Jinping often emphasizes reading more and learning more, taking reading as a way of life, reading different types of books, and independent thinking and practical application after reading.

During his work in Zhengding, Xi Jinping planned four learning tasks for himself: learning knowledge from books, learning true knowledge from practice, learning experience from history, and learning wisdom from the masses. He not only studied on his own, but also led the vast number of cadres to study together, and combined with local realities to conduct examinations for them and personally invigilated the examinations. In 1989, Xi Jinping organized the Ningde Prefectural Committee, the members of the administrative bureau and the secretaries of the county party committees to hold a special reading class; during his work in Fuzhou, he arranged for cadres to go to Tsinghua University and other universities for training and training young cadres at the grass-roots level.

Although Xi Jinping's economic work practice in Hebei and Fujian has passed for 20 or 30 years, and the tasks and priorities of economic work in different historical stages are different, many of the ideological methods and working methods he upholds have the significance of traveling through time and space, and they still work well today, and are an important guide for leading cadres at all levels to do a good job in economic work in the new development stage.
