Of course, Sha Zhengyang knew how shock his suggestions would cause in the province, but he didn't care.

For him, the more shocking the plans and suggestions, the more they can prove their correctness, and he needs this accumulation of political capital.

And the obscure solution or lack of advice is the most meaningless.

Currently, the expressway built and opened to traffic in the province is the Hanjia Expressway, which is also the best-in-class. The Hanwan Expressway is about to be completed and opened to traffic. This expressway is predicted to be profitable within five years. As for the expressways in inland areas, it is already quite satisfactory.

Moreover, this is a static assessment. In fact, with the continuous acceleration of economic development in various places, the future growth of private cars will explode, and this profit possibility will be further accelerated, and the profit rate will also have a lot of room for growth.

Another is the Hanzhaofu Expressway, which has been approved by the National Development and Planning Commission.

This expressway is not long, and the area it passes through is relatively flat and the cost is not high. However, it is the most developed cities in Hanchuan Province, and there are many districts and counties in the province, which are among the top ten counties in the province. Therefore, from an economic perspective, this expressway even surpasses the Hanjia Expressway and Hanwan Expressway.

However, it turns out that the road conditions of the national road from Handu to Fugang have been relatively good through Zhaoyang, so this expressway is placed behind the Hanjia Expressway and Hanwan Expressway.

In contrast, the economic value of Hanwu Expressway and Hanqin Expressway is somewhat difficult to determine, because there is a special feature here, that is, more heavy vehicles from Wuyang and Qindu to Handu are still heavy vehicles, that is, coal-pulling vehicles, and will these vehicles take highways in the future?

Wuyang and Qin are both the most important petrochemical and coal bases in Hanchuan Province. The coal produced in both places is mainly transported to other cities and cities in the province, and a considerable part of it is even transported directly to Jiazhou. In addition to the part used locally in Jiazhou, a considerable part may be shipped off the ship.

Therefore, for the Han-Qin Expressway and Han-Wu Expressway, the expressway toll standards and the conditions of the two national highways that do not toll in the future, and even the future coal prices and other factors will restrict whether a huge group of traffic flow will enter the Han-Wu-Qin highways, Han-Qin highways, which also determines the profitability of these two highways in the future.

Moreover, there are also some uncertainties here, that is, government policies may have a great impact on whether these freight vehicles enter the expressway. When most coal transport vehicles are overloaded, if the government departments strengthen penalties for overloading and exceeding the limit of provincial highways, they can easily "squeeze" these coal-pulling trucks onto the expressway to pay the fees.

In addition to these two highways with uncertain prospects, there is another one that is the highway Jiawan Expressway, which looks bad from the moment it is currently open, but may also be good in the future. At the same time, it is very beneficial to the development of the Handong region.

Hanjia Expressway Jiawan Expressway Hanwan Expressway, these three expressways form a golden triangle, basically taking into account the original hinterland area of ​​Hanchuan Province.

Except for Han, these three cities have nearly ten million populations, and Jiazhou and Wanzhou have more than ten million populations. Although Jiazhou is directly under the jurisdiction of the government, its economic ties with Hanchuan Province are still quite close. Although Wanzhou has a population of tens of millions, its industrialization and urbanization progress is far worse than that of Hanzhou and Jiazhou, and it contains great potential.

In Sha Zhengyang's view, although the Duyi Expressway project is the most undesirable from an economic perspective, to achieve the balanced economic development of Hanchuan Province in the future, even if the political significance is aside, this path needs to be repaired the most.

This highway that runs diagonally across the hinterland of Hanchuan Province can greatly open the door to the mountainous areas of Hanchuan Province, allowing labor and various resources to be fully liberated and developed. The completion of this road will at least allow the impact of the eight or nine districts and counties from Anxiang to Puchi to Wuling area to have 2 to 5 percentage points in GDP growth, or even higher!

At present, the population of Wuling area is close to half of the population of Han City, but its total GDP is only 5% of that of Han City, which means that the per capita GDP of Han City is more than 10 times that of Wuling area. Such a huge gap is undoubtedly unacceptable.

Similarly, the population of Puchi area is only one-third of that of Han City, but its total GDP is only less than 10% of that of Han City, and its per capita GDP is only one-eighth of that of Han City.

It can be said that the mountainous areas in the hinterland of Hanchuan Province in these two regions greatly strengthened the per capita GDP hindrance of the entire Hanchuan Province. This is also the main reason why Sha Zhengyang proposed to the province that the idea of ​​breaking through traffic bottlenecks and completely releasing the economic vitality of the Wuling area of ​​Anxiang Puchi can gain the support of the main leaders of the province.

Even if there may be any misunderstanding from all aspects, and even some so-called political risks may be taken, the strategic determination of the Zhou and Wang is enough to ensure that this plan can receive full support from the provincial party committee.

"Okay, Zhengyang, I know you are very busy and you are under great pressure. But this is not the right thing. You can focus on our Handu work and eliminate all interference. If there are any rumors outside, you can push them to me and say that you are now fully planning around the construction of Handu's communication infrastructure."

Mao Xiangdong stood on the steps of the newly built telecommunications building in the Economic and Technological Development Zone with his hands on his back. The building will be completely completed in one month. The issue of telecommunications infrastructure network construction involving the future Han Metro is in full communication with the Ministry of Information Industry.

In this regard, the advantages of Han City as a sub-provincial city have emerged. They can bypass some constraints in the province and directly connect with the Ministry of Information Industry. In some specific policies and plans, they can even coordinate and promote them. For the province, Mao Xiangdong will naturally come to coordinate and communicate.

"Secretary Mao, you are so brave. If it were me, I wouldn't dare." Sha Zhengyang stood on the steps with Mao Xiangdong, looking at the Telecom Square in front of him. It was already located at the edge of the Economic and Technological Development Zone. Going westward, it is the boundary of Longtan District.

"Stop flattering there. If you sit in my position, you're afraid that the movement will be more intense, right?" Mao Xiangdong took a deep breath. "Sometimes, when you are in this position, you must be responsible for the cadres and masses of one side and for the development of a place. You have to bear the risks and responsibilities you should bear. You are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, and you have to wait for others to verify everything before you come. So is there any show for you?"

Sha Zhengyang nodded silently, in fact, he was also helping Mao Xiangdong change history.

If the history of domestic adsl has not changed, it will only start construction in Shanghai and Shenzhen next year. It will not take until early 2000 that there will be a truly commercial adsl broadband operation, which is the so-called surfing online. Now most Chinese netizens still have to use dial-ups that are disconnected at any time and cannot accept phone calls at the same time to enjoy the life of netizens.

From this point of view, he still admires Mao Xiangdong very much.

In terms of geographical location and economic strength, Han City is at least 10 in the country. Last year, Han City's GDP was more than 90 billion, which was only slightly higher than Wuxi, and barely ranked 10th. Shanghai, Yanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, and Suzhou, which one is better than Han City in any aspect, so it is the first in the country to open adsl. What does this bite of crab mean? Even Sha Zhengyang himself is hard to say.

As discussed by Sha Zhengyang and Mao Xiangdong, the current status of Han City is as a provincial capital city, among so many provincial capital cities and sub-provincial cities across the country. If you continue to maintain this step-by-step approach, you will have a high chance of slowly withdrawing from the top ten. If the development is smooth, you may remain before the top fifteen.

In other words, if there is no special situation, the future positioning of Han City is to hover between 10 and 15 cities in the country.

This seems to be a very realistic and safe situation. No matter which term of secretary and mayor comes, such a result seems to be acceptable. It’s not that we don’t work hard, but that the competition is too fierce.

But for Mao Xiangdong, he didn't want such a result.

In 1990, when did Shenzhen have a position in the national urban GDP rankings? But 7 years have passed, Shenzhen has ranked fifth, and in 1990, Shenyang has ranked seventh, but 7 years have passed, and there is no position in Shenyang in the top 10. This is the cruel reality. If you don’t move forward, you can only retreat.

Handu is in such an awkward situation now. The threshold of the top 10 will fall if you don’t pay attention. Once you work hard, you can even rush into the top 5, it depends on how you work hard.

Mao Xiangdong also admitted that Shenzhen’s model is unreplicable. The bridgehead of reform and opening up is the first in the world in terms of style. This halo effect brought by the attention of thousands of trees and the atmosphere of reform and opening up has caused talents from all over the country to rush to Shenzhen. Therefore, Shenzhen can jump to the fifth place in the country in just 7 years. What about Han Capital?

Mao Xiangdong believes that Shenzhen’s model cannot be replicated, but Handu also has many advantages and conditions that Shenzhen does not have.

First of all, Shenzhen’s development will face homogeneous competition in Guangzhou. If the distance is too close, it will definitely lead to the fight between the two tigers;

The second is that Shenzhen lacks traditional industries as its foundation, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that there are not so many bonds. Drawing pictures on white paper, the disadvantage is that it lacks the support of the industry and will inevitably be restricted. Handu has a strong foundation in traditional manufacturing, which has development support in terms of talent and technical reserves;
