Volume 7, Section 98, Duyi Expressway, Gather Resources
"Good words!" Cheng Song couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhengyang, it seems that you feel the same as me. We, the ministries and commissions, are used to the current work style of waiting and relying on the situation. We are overly aware of the times and have never realized that the times have changed. We are unaware of the support and help of our superior functional departments below the cities, districts and counties. How can such a trend adapt to the development under the reform and opening up?"
"Governor Cheng, Director Kang is still very concerned about this area. It's just that this kind of accumulated problems. It's not a day when the freezing is frozen. To change this situation, measures need to be taken from many aspects." Sha Zhengyang nodded, "Director Kang has also discussed with me, and we have also realized the calls from cities and counties below, so some of my recent work is mainly in this regard, but..."
"This is far from enough!" Cheng Song said bluntly: "I know Lao Kang's difficulties, and this is not his own responsibility, but what you said. The accumulated problems are getting worse and worse, and severe cases need to be given severe medicine!"
"Governor Cheng, I can only talk from the perspective of my own work. As you said, the whole country and the province are facing different opportunities this year. The tide of state-owned enterprise reform has surging, improving the investment environment, increasing the efforts to open up investment, and promoting the acceleration of economic development in our inland areas has become a focus of the central work. As a functional department at the provincial level, I have been considering how to solve the difficulties and difficulties we face." Sha Zhengyang knew that the topic mentioned by Cheng Song should not be interrupted by himself, and the least it should be discussed by Cheng Song and Kang Guangliang. He could only say his own work: "Director Kang gave me a special task, which is to combine the work responsibilities of the Development and Planning Commission to better explore a faster and more effective way to get rid of poverty and become rich for the economic development of poor areas."
Of course, Kang Guangliang didn't say that, but just explained how the province's main leaders were stationed in counties in cities and counties to plan industrial development, but it was not appropriate to do it alone. Sha Zhengyang automatically expanded and named it how to solve the problem of poverty-stricken areas to achieve wealth through industrial development and cultivation.
In Sha Zhengyang's view, the causes of poverty in poor areas are actually not complicated. There are only a few more rounds. The problems are not difficult to find and figure out, but it is not easy to solve.
Now Kang Guangliang has put a burden on him, and Cheng Song also knows that how to solve it, he has to use the forces and resources of all parties to break the deadlock.
Seeing that Sha Zhengyang was interested in changing the topic, Cheng Song also understood the other party's difficulties and concerns, and at the same time realized that his topic was too deep. A deputy position like Sha Zhengyang who had just entered the Development and Planning Commission, it was not appropriate to discuss too much on this issue. He nodded: "Zhengyang, you have to remember that you are young, and it is not harmful to do more. The work of the Development and Planning Commission system is very good at training people. Every job can make you gain something. From the work contact to the various channels and resources I said, you should understand."
"Thank you for your concern and guidance, I understand." Sha Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then tell me, I see you are very anxious, and I seem to be a little sure. I have a rough understanding of the situation of Puchi and Wuling. If you want to make some decent things in these two places, you have to spend some time thinking about it." Cheng Song glanced at the other party, feeling that he seemed very confident, and he was also very curious.
Sha Zhengyang spent forty minutes introducing Cheng Song about his investigation in Puchi and Wuling areas, talking about the weakness of the local secondary and tertiary industries and the difficulties faced by the primary industries, and also introducing some of his ideas on the adjustment of the local industrial structure and planning layout.
Cheng Song listened very seriously and agreed with Sha Zhengyang's views.
There is a lack of resources, lack of industrial foundation, local financial resources, and the intensity of industrialization and urbanization is quite weak, which is difficult to support the digestion of surplus labor. The process of transformation and transformation is seriously lower than that of other cities and cities. In this case, it is difficult to quickly change the current situation by relying solely on the efforts of local local party committees and governments.
Sha Zhengyang also talked about a huge constraint faced by investment promotion. The traffic bottleneck has become the first obstacle to the investment environment. There are two other things: weak industry and conservative thinking.
"I understand, have you fallen in love with Duyi Expressway?" Cheng Song was more aware of Kang Guangliang's sense of smell. "Since you came to tell me this time, you must be sure. Let me tell you, where the possibility comes from and where the difficulties are? I don't believe you don't know the amount of investment required by Duyi Expressway and the various financial pressures faced by the Hanchuan Provincial Government."
Sha Zhengyang revealed some of his analysis and judgment, but still failed to convince Cheng Song: "I know everything you said. In order to hedge against the impact of the Asian financial crisis on the domestic economy and realize the 8-guarantee strategy, the central government has indeed opened an opening in highway construction. I also agree that the central government's meeting on highway construction that you predict will be held. The province also has the provincial considerations. But have you considered the total investment and source channels of Duyi Expressway? We cannot stop Hanzhaofu Expressway and Hanwu Expressway and support Duyi Expressway. So where does this investment come from? m"
"Governor, have you considered introducing funds from the World Bank loans and Japan to cooperate with each other?" Sha Zhengyang also knew that Cheng Song knew very well, so he came to Cheng Song, hoping to convince the other party first and then promote the operation of the project.
"The World Bank's funds are not easy to pass the approval. They have tightly blocked funds in this regard and have high requirements for various conditions." Cheng Song was stunned. "Japan's cooperative loans are similar, with a limited annual amount, and most of them are considered in the name of the central government."
"The matter is in human affairs. I have studied the loan situation of the World Bank in recent years. Their recent investment direction has been adjusted, mainly to target the poverty alleviation sector being more active. I think Duyi Expressway can try to use the poverty alleviation strategy as an introduction to this poverty alleviation county through road construction, improve the local investment and development environment, and then realize the desire of local people to work at home and achieve their desire to get rid of poverty and achieve a well-off society. This is in line with the lending trend of the World Bank in recent years."
Of course, Sha Zhengyang came prepared.
"Oh? World Bank loan?" Cheng Song didn't expect Sha Zhengyang would actually transfer the source of funds to World Bank loans. After thinking about it, he said: "But the investment amount of Duyi Expressway is very large. Where does 35% of the capital stock come from? The province will definitely not be able to afford it. If we want to win the support of the central government, it will be difficult. Moreover, even if we can raise 35% of the world bank's loan, there will still be a big gap."
Cheng Song said this, which also recognized Sha Zhengyang's judgment on World Bank loans, and believed that he was indeed sure to obtain World Bank loans.
"As for the loans to China by Japan Cooperation Bank, the main concentration of Beijing and Shanghai, not many inland provinces have received such support,..."
"I still say the same thing, it's human-made." Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "As far as I know, since last year, the amount of loans to China by Japan Cooperation Bank has increased significantly. I think this is also an opportunity. In addition, the China Development Bank has also become more relaxed in loans this year due to the adjustment of central policies, so I think some support can be obtained from this channel."
Cheng Song waved his hand, "Well, okay, even if the loan can be solved, what about the capital? Although I don't know how much static investment is for Duyi Expressway, from Handu to Yichang, there are at least 400 kilometers in our Handu? Even if there are many bends of provincial roads, straighten the highways, and straighten the straighteners, and tunnels and viaducts can save a lot, 360 kilometers, right? Moreover, the mountainous areas of this area have complex karst landforms. Just calculate it simply, the investment will not be less than 8 billion, and how much capital is needed, 3 billion! At most, the province can do its best to take out 1 billion, and where will the other 2 billion come from?"
This is the most important thing.
Sha Zhengyang knew that what Cheng Song said was still discounted. The Duyi Expressway was built in 2007 in his previous life, with a total construction cost of more than 22 billion yuan. Of course, the situation was different at that time, and the requirements were higher. For example, the bridge-tunnel ratio is now ten years ahead of schedule, and the standards may not be that high, but Sha Zhengyang estimated that it would have to cost 9 billion yuan.
The problem is that Hanchuan Province's investment in highway construction last year was only 6.9 billion yuan, and the increase in the past few years is relatively large. It is expected to be close to 11 billion yuan. Even if Duyi Expressway is divided into five years of investment, it will be close to 2 billion yuan a year. This road investment accounts for one fifth of the province's highway investment, which makes people think twice before doing it.
"Senior Cheng, I think the central government may need investment to build this road. In addition, if possible, I suggest that our province can relax its ideas and do not have to stick to the rut. Private enterprises can also invest in shares." Sha Zhengyang said slowly.
"Taking multiple strategies to raise funds through multiple channels, you can see that these areas along the route are mountainous areas and ethnic minority areas, and some are old revolutionary areas. Whether from the political and economic perspective, or poverty alleviation perspective, they are of great significance. I believe that if we can do a good job in publicity and momentum, we can do this. Besides, aren't you still there? You are now the leader of our Hanchuan Province. You are familiar with the National Development and Planning Commission and the Ministry of Transport. You have to use your resources. No matter whether it succeeds or not, we will definitely not succeed. But if we try, even if it fails, at least we can leave an impression on the above. Maybe when the next round of project starts, we will first consider this path?"
