Grand Cherokee drove on the Changsong Highway, and as she got farther and farther away from the city of Songzhou, the atmosphere in the car gradually opened up.

"For the people, how is the situation in Hong Kong? Everyone is still watching. Xisong Expressway and Songyi Expressway may not be as good as Kunluo Expressway and Changgui Expressway in terms of investment returns, but they should be clear that not everyone can participate in the investment. The province has still been under great pressure to relax foreign investment in highway investment. After all, more than 50% of the controlling stake is difficult for many people to accept." Wei Xingxia adjusted the position of the passenger seat so that he could sit more comfortably on this more than an hour's journey.

"The problem should not be big, but you also know that although these investors are family-owned enterprises, these companies have actually been basically regularized. The investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is not a small amount. They also need special evaluation companies to evaluate risks for the policy benefits we have given. In addition, it also takes time to allocate funds."

Lu Weimin looked at him without squinting, and his tone was calm and confident. The trees and buildings on both sides quickly retreated behind him.

"I have asked there that they will set up a Hong Kong investment company specifically for the main companies investing in infrastructure in Songzhou. The controlling rights are very important to them. They believe that this can minimize risks during the operation. Of course, they also hope that the provincial and municipal levels will also hold necessary equity, so that some problems caused by their investment in the mainland can be solved through the provincial and municipal governments."

"They think about these things very carefully." Wei Xingxia sighed.

"Secretary Wei, the money of capitalists was not picked up from the ground. These Chinese families have accumulated some family wealth through the hard work of dozens or hundreds of years in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia and Malaysia, they have to bear the squeeze of local indigenous people, but also the suppression of European, American and Japanese capital. Especially in the past few decades, they simply could not get the support of their motherland, and their living space was narrower. It was not easy to make such a path. For example, the May riot in Indonesia caused them a lot of losses, but they had nowhere to seek justice. This is the sorrow of rootless duckweed."

Lu Weimin sighed softly, and the more contacts the heads of Lin, Huang and Li families, the more they could feel their difficulties and understand the reasons for their caution.

If these Chinese families want to survive and develop in Southeast Asia, they don’t know how much blood and sweat they have to pay compared to white European and American people and local indigenous people. The lack of a mother country that can support them is an important reason.

Although China is gradually developing, China does not recognize dual nationality and opposes interference in other countries' internal affairs. This policy makes these overseas Chinese more able to fight for their own interests through their own grouping.

Chinese are born with talent in business, but they are a nation with weak political will, at least overseas. It is precisely this factor that makes Chinese people rather spend a lot of money to obtain political protection from local ruling through some interest transfers, but are unwilling to show up and openly establish their own status and strive for their own interests.

This situation is not a problem in normal times, but once it encounters a large climate such as an economic crisis, it is easy to be pushed out by the rulers as a scapegoat. The unprecedented harm caused by Chinese people in Indonesia's May riots is the most obvious example.

Wei Xingxia also sighed, and he agreed with Lu Weimin's viewpoint, "The country's policies in this regard are worth pondering. Sometimes, the necessary pressure is put on the parties involved to protect the legitimate interests of the Chinese. In fact, I don't think it is contrary to our own principles."

"The key is whether the country's strength has reached a level that is enough to make those in power in power in those countries afraid of it. Although our country is developing every year, its comprehensive strength, especially military strength, is still seriously insufficient, especially for the navy's deployment, you can't reach Southeast Asia at all. How can you make the other party feel pressured? Simple diplomatic negotiations don't play a big role." Lu Weimin shook his head, "In a word, if you want to speak, you have to have to have a strong waist and a hard fist. This is the hard truth. The law of the jungle has been the norm followed by this world for a long time."

"Well, by the way, the topic is too far-reaching. For the people, we have to promote the construction of these two roads as soon as possible. Hong Kong has to urge a little. Kunluo Expressway has been officially launched. It is said that construction will start in October. Although this road is prepared early in the early stage, such a fast action is still rare. Changgui Expressway and Changpu Expressway are also actively preparing. I heard that construction will start no later than next year's Spring Festival. I met someone from the Transportation Department a few days ago. They said that Changgui Expressway may start in December in advance. I think although our side is lively,

But the implementation is slow. My opinion is to start the preparations in our Songzhou first, and do the land acquisition and demolition of several districts and counties involved in the early stages. Don’t wait. As for Xiliang, I heard that the Xiliang Prefectural Committee Administrative Committee is very enthusiastic, so I can also contact you first, Yishan,..." Wei Xingxia pondered for a moment, "If Yishan still doesn’t get angry, I don’t think we need to ask anyone. Didn’t you say Qiupu’s interest is very much? You might as well contact Qiupu’s first, and I can coordinate with the Provincial Department of Transportation."

Lu Weimin felt that Wei Xingxia was really feeling like he was in a state. Although the situation in the city was still the same, people with a keen sense of smell could perceive that Wei Xingxia, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, had a stronger and stronger voice in many fields, which also squeezed the influence of Lu Weimin and Chen Changjun in disguise.

Lu Weimin didn't care much about this.

As Shao Jingchuan's secretary for many years, Wei Xingxia came to Songzhou to make a difference. To put it bluntly, that is, he came to the situation after Shang Quanzhi left Songzhou. Lu Weimin was very self-aware of this. Anyone who wanted to steal the limelight from Wei Xingxia was futile. In addition to causing humiliation, he could gain hostility. Therefore, on this point, Lu Weimin cooperated with Wei Xingxia with tactful cooperation, and took the initiative to report to Wei Xingxia or communicate with him.

Chen Changjun also realized this, but as the Minister of Organization and the Deputy Secretary in charge of Party and Group Affairs, they are born to overlap in many jobs. If they are too low-key, in the outside world, especially in the province, everyone can only see and hear the voice of Wei Xingxia. His organization minister will be marginalized. When Yang Yonggui, the deputy secretary, is about to be vacant, this may be very unfavorable to him. If he acts too revealing and high-profile, it will inevitably attract the hostility of Wei Xingxia. It is not easy to grasp the degree of this.

Now Chen Changjun chose to show himself as much as possible. Lu Weimin didn't know what Wei Xingxia thought, but in his opinion, no matter how broad-minded Wei Xingxia was, he was not a person on the same path. Chen Changjun's performance during this period was still a bit suspicious of stealing the limelight. At this point, Wei Xingxia would definitely feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course, this discomfort would not make the two get into evil, but Lu Weimin did not pin his hopes on this point.

On the one hand, the role that Wei Xingxia can only play is to assist. If you really want to make a difference, you have to rely on yourself. On the other hand, Lu Weimin is also cleverly using some performance in the economic field to boost Wei Xingxia's influence and help Wei Xingxia build momentum. While helping Wei Xingxia build momentum, it is also equivalent to helping him build momentum. Lu Weimin believes that the province will see this, and Wei Xingxia is also happy to help him on some occasions.

There is indeed a little annoyance in Yishan.

Tan Xueqiang, the current acting mayor of Yishan City, is the secretary of former provincial party secretary Tian Haihua. When Lu Weimin was just serving as secretary of Futou County, Tan Xueqiang was still a member of the Standing Committee of Yishan City Party Committee and the Secretary of Linxi County Party Committee. Before Lu Weimin left Futou, Tan Xueqiang was already the deputy secretary of Yishan City Party Committee. In June this year, Tan Xueqiang became the acting mayor after he was transferred to the position of director of the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau.

The lack of energy on Yishan is from two aspects. On the one hand, it is unwilling to be unfair to Songzhou as the dominant position in the construction of Songyi Expressway. If Xiliang wants more in Songzhou on the issue of the Western Song Expressway, on the issue of Songyi Expressway, Yishan thinks that Songzhou wants more in Yishan. After all, Yishan's current economic output is much higher than that of Songzhou. After the completion of the Songyi Expressway, Yishan needs to transport commodities through water will be mainly exported through Songzhou Port, which will be more beneficial to Songzhou to build a transportation hub in the junction of Chang, Hubei and Anhui. Therefore, on this issue, Yishan hopes to occupy more profit sharing of Songyi Expressway, such as tax sharing and shares.

Originally, Songzhou hoped to carry out the preliminary work first, but Yishan hoped to finalize these specific details first. Tan Xueqiang, who had just become the acting mayor, was unwilling to be regarded by Yishan as betraying Yishan's interests, so he was very tough on this point, which directly led to the stranding of the early contact work of Songyi Expressway.

On the contrary, although Qiupu, which is close to Yishan, belongs to Anhui Province, the city leaders have a much more enlightened thinking because of their relatively backward economic development. After learning that Songzhou is interested in promoting the construction of the expressway, they took the initiative to propose the hope of building the Songqiu Expressway and are willing to negotiate with Songzhou in specific details, which also made Songzhou quite excited.

However, Qiupu is also a city in Linjiang, and its economy is underdeveloped. The Songqiu Expressway will definitely not be able to compare with the Songyi Expressway in terms of return rate, unless it makes greater concessions to investors on many conditions, this also makes Songzhou hesitate.
