After December, Sha Zhengyang felt that he was getting more and more busy.

The World Bank and his delegation visited Anxiang, Puchi and Wuling areas. They were accompanied by Vice-President I-Chi Cheng Song and Sha Zhengyang throughout the journey. They visited Wuyin County in Anxiang area, Leidong County in Puchi area, Baoling County in Wuling area, and Maba County respectively.

It should be said that the preparations made by various regions in response to this inspection were quite thorough. Under the guidance of the provincial and municipal development and planning committees, several counties have made a practical plan for the future industrial development of their own counties. The tea industry, vegetable industry, Chinese medicinal materials planting and processing industry, food and local specialty processing industry, and diverse operations in rural areas have played the leading role. It should be said that this is already rare for these agricultural areas.

However, Sha Zhengyang was not satisfied with this. He spent half a month to join several directors and filming directors of the provincial TV station. He walked along the Duyi Expressway route from Wuyin County, and recorded the most distinctive landscapes and Miao family scenery in the mountains of these counties, made a documentary, and invited comrades from the Provincial Tourism Bureau to promote it.

Finally, the World Bank and his group were arranged to a filming site in Maba for on-site inspection.

"Oh, mygod!" The words that followed one after another made the people leading the team numb. It was not surprising in the eyes of locals, but in the eyes of these big-nosed foreigners, it became a magical craft, as if they had seen another world and came to another world.

In fact, although Sha Zhengyang was not so shocked when he first saw him, he was also excited. There is a saying that God closes a door for you and will open a window for you. Although the remaining Qinba Mountains from Anxiang area to Wuling area does not have much mineral resources, it is more prominent when it comes to the advantageous resources brought by the landscape climate.

The wall stands thousands of feet high, and the peaks face each other. A clear stream is like a jade belt lingers between the two mountains. The bamboo forests, trees, and vines on both sides may be mixed, forming a forest belt full of negative oxygen ions, making people unable to break this tranquility.

"Mr. Schumann, Mr. Miyamoto, I believe the scenery this morning has greatly touched you. In fact, it is not just here, it is just a small part. Please see."

Sha Zhengyang spread the map on the bamboo raft, which makes such an office more realistic and intuitive.

"Look, Baoxi has flowed through Maba and has to enter Hubei. It will finally flow into the Yangtze River. The upper reaches of Baoxi are Zixi, Jiuqujiang, and Yanhe. This river flows out of the Qinba Mountains and travels through the valleys. There are also this area, which is a famous karst landform area. There are rich special landforms such as caves, stalagmites, sky pits, and ground caves. Because the road on the Xianglaifeng line is in a bad situation, we are from a safe perspective, so we did not invite you to see it. But you have also seen it in the documentary filmed by our provincial TV station and the Provincial Tourism Bureau, and the scene is a hundred times more magnificent and beautiful than the TV!"

Sha Zhengyang simply sat on a bamboo stool and spread the map directly on the bamboo raft, even if the water soaked up wet the map.

"This is Baoxi. This section is what we have seen. We have seen that Miao village before, and we also felt the enthusiasm and hospitality of our Miao children. In addition, I also need to emphasize that our Miao and Tu families are skillful, including our Han compatriots in the mountains. They are particularly good at using our locally produced bamboo, rattan, grass, wood, stone and other specialties for handicraft processing. The processed furniture, toys, decorations, bamboo weaving tables and chairs, straw weaving crafts, and wood carving utensils are all unique... If these exquisite crafts can be dedicated to friends from all over the world, I think that foreign friends can not only feel the enthusiasm of being close to the world, but also help the simple people in the mountains increase their income and become rich. It can be said that this is a very perfect win-win situation,..."

Sha Zhengyang also said this set of words in a very smooth manner, but it depends on whether the translation skills can reach the level.

Fortunately, the translation invited by the Provincial Tourism Bureau is said to be of some level, and can basically translate this long-form discussion with literary literacy and emotional color. At least Sha Zhengyang can feel some substantial things as a change in facial expressions and attitudes of Schumann and Miyamoto.

The Qinba Mountains and the Wuling Mountains converge in this area. The remnants of the two mountain ranges intersect here, forming a very complex terrain feature. The alpine climate characteristics are very obvious. Most of the mountainous areas are located before 6001,200 meters, and the highest peak is only about 2,500 meters. The mountainous areas above 800 meters to 1,500 meters are very humid and stormy, making them an excellent high-mountain tea garden area. The shallow hills between 400 and 800 meters are the best Chinese medicinal materials planting areas. The soil climate in this line provides the most perfect ecological environment for Chinese medicinal materials planting.

Schumann should be a German-American man. He was the person in charge of the Hanchuan investigation sent by the World Bank, and the Japanese Miyamoto Nagamoto was his assistant.

It should be said that this inspection was quite well prepared. Schuman was still very satisfied with the previous discussions and dialogues. This on-site inspection shocked him by the magical and magnificent scenery of the inland China. In his opinion, there is no worse scenery here than Jiuzhaigou and Huangshan. In China, he has only visited Jiuzhaigou and Huangshan, and believes that the scenery there is unparalleled, but now he goes deep into the mountains of the Wuling Mountains of the original Qinba Mountains that have been completely untapped to experience such a scene, which makes him even more shocked.

"Sha, what do you mean is that after this road is repaired, the people living in this mountainous area can weave and make exquisite handicrafts, as well as planting tea and medicinal materials to improve their family living conditions?" Schuman could speak some simple Chinese, but it was only simple. If it was more complicated, he could only rely on translation.

"Yes, Mr. Schuman, you may have seen that the living areas of all ethnic groups in our mountainous areas are relatively scattered, not like the people in the city, but dozens or one or two hundred households live in a village or village. Usually, they can only carry their backs to transport the local specialties in the mountainous areas, and then bring in the same way the necessities they need. Many places do not even have electricity. This extremely low transportation method makes their work and living costs very high. It becomes very difficult for them to transport the items produced in the fields in the mountains. Our local government hopes to repair this road to completely improve their living environment...."

Sha Zhengyang knew that this level was very important. If he could make a good start with the World Bank, it would be much easier for Japan Cooperation Bank to be the one with the World Bank because everyone has a fixed mindset and inertia. The World Bank agreed with the reasons and conditions proposed by the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to repair this path. Then Japan Cooperation Bank will subconsciously agree with these views and tend to accept the former's view in review. If the World Bank does not pass, the possibility of Japan Cooperation Bank passing will be greatly reduced.

"Sha, I can understand your government's ideas, but I also see that this line is indeed very poor, with very poor basic conditions. In terms of construction costs, it may also be quite high." Schumann will naturally not be easily moved and persuaded by this person in charge. Although he has some tendencies in his heart, the basic conditions and requirements will not lower the standards.

"Mr. Schumann, our central government and the Hanchuan Provincial Government are mentally prepared for this. If you think about the population radiating in this line is 10 million. Think about it, this is equivalent to one-seventh of your German population. Before that, you have also seen that there is only a rugged and steep mountain road that runs through hundreds of kilometers. Therefore, our central and local governments have made up their minds to change this face, and the people in our region are also full of enthusiasm and confidence in changing this situation. I believe that what you have seen and heard in the past few days has fully felt all this, so I hope that the World Bank's inspection team can get in touch with all this more intuitively and realistically..."

Sha Zhengyang's words are very appealing and inflammatory, and even those who do not understand Chinese can fully understand the ups and downs.

"Sha, I can understand your mood. I personally felt deeply during this inspection. But this is my job. I must evaluate the entire project according to the principle of objective and truth. How do you ensure that the funds can be used accurately and effectively? I still have some concerns about this. Well, if the World Bank is willing to provide support on this project, how do you ensure this?..."

This is a practice involving the use of foreign capital. They have always had doubts about the domestic opaque capital use mechanism, and they also have a bad impression of state-owned enterprises in this regard. This even failed many projects with very good conditions.

Sha Zhengyang is also thinking about this question. How to answer it to help the other party eliminate doubts is very important.

"Mr. Schumann, Miyamoto, and other members of the inspection team. I think I don't need to say more about the importance and positive significance of this project. Mr. Schumann and Miyamoto have reached an agreement with us on this point. The key now is that Schumann and Miyamoto may have some concerns about the use of funds. Is that true?"
