Chapter 54 Conversation (1)

Zeng Quanjun did not directly answer Zhao Guodong's request. A highway of more than 300 kilometers is not a small matter. Even with the current strategic position in southern Yunnan and the central government is paying more and more attention to southern Yunnan, it is not simple. Investment is not a small amount. Fortunately, the Prime Minister is now in southern Yunnan, so he can help Zhao Guodong to see if he can win the Prime Minister's recognition.

Zeng Quanjun briefly analyzed the situation and suggested that Zhao Guodong go to Li Youci immediately to report it, and to make the Prime Minister know about it before the Prime Minister leaves. This will at least give the Prime Minister a clear mind and not be too abrupt, so that he can work much better.

Zhao Guodong also knew that what Zeng Quanjun said was the truth. Such a highway could not be done with just a few words. It was not easy for the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport. However, he could also see that Zeng Quanjun was not shirking his responsibilities, but wanted to help him so that he would give him advice immediately and let him seize the opportunity. Finally, he could take advantage of the Prime Minister's still in southern Yunnan to make a point of this matter, at least he should make the Prime Minister have an intentional attitude. In this way, the Ministry of Transport, the National Development and Reform Commission and southern Yunnan can operate it.

After receiving the guidance of Zeng Quanjun, Zhao Guodong was not polite and rushed to Li Youci's residence. While Yang Biao had just come out, he seized the time to report to Li Youci the situation in Wencheng area and his own thoughts.

The idea of ​​Kunwen Expressway has been in place for a long time, but in terms of importance and importance, it has not yet risen to the level of immediate construction. If Zhao Guodong wants to promote the early start of this project, it will require some efforts, especially to make the central leaders realize the importance of this expressway to the development of the ethnic region in southeastern Yunnan.

Zhao Guodong briefly reported the situation in Wencheng area to Li Youci, and also proposed the idea and plan for the construction of the Kunwen Expressway. Li Youci was also very enthusiastic about Zhao Guodong and said that the Ministry could consider it as soon as possible, but if it was to be put on the agenda, then it would also require the attention and supervision of the senior management. In this way, the Ministry would be much more likely to be recognized when coordinating with the Development and Reform Commission for reporting.

Now, as local governments are promoting infrastructure construction on a large scale, it is hoped that the central government can include some projects that need to be started in the local government in the central budget planning. This is also a lot of things, mainly depends on the attitude of the central leaders.

Like Zeng Quanjun, Li Youci also suggested to Zhao Guodong that he could take advantage of the chance of the Prime Minister in southern Yunnan to report to the Prime Minister first. If he mentioned it, he would probably have a clear idea in his mind. Even if the Prime Minister would not make a clear statement, it would at least give the Prime Minister an impression that it would be much easier to operate in the future. However, reporting to the Prime Minister also requires the right opportunity. After all, such a sudden mention of such a separate matter seems a bit inappropriate, and we have to consider it carefully.

Wen Guoji looked at the man who had become much older than when he was minister of the Ministry of Energy. He felt that the secretary of a provincial party committee is indeed much more laborious than the director of a ministry.

Especially for major frontier provinces like southern Yunnan, they are facing huge pressure to improve people's living standards, while maintaining stability and ensuring harmony in ethnic relations. They also need to coordinate and support the country's grand strategic work of moving westward and southward. All work is complicated and affects the whole body.

Not to mention other things, even this Nujiang development dispute has been involved in countless people, not only pure environmentalists and social elites, but also local government officials and domestic interest groups. Even some foreign interest-related players are fanning the flames behind the scenes, hoping to influence the central government's decisions.

When Cai Zhengyang was the Minister of Energy, he was proud and eased. He took out plans and opinions one by one, which won high praise from the central government. Moreover, the opinions he introduced during his tenure as Minister of Energy to promote the development of new energy, the national energy security strategy, the strategy of going global for energy enterprises and the implementation of national crude oil strategic reserves, now it seems that all prove that they are quite forward-looking.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance when he was the Minister of Energy that the central government wanted him to serve as the provincial party secretary in southern Yunnan, a major border province with complex conditions but extremely important geographical location. On the one hand, he hopes that he can further promote the layout of the national energy strategy in this position, and on the other hand, he hopes that he can better show and train as the secretary of southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee.

But to be honest, the central government still has some views on his early work in southern Yunnan. Whether it is to advance the national energy strategy southward steps, or to play an attractive and influential role as a bridgehead for ASEAN, especially for Myanmar and Laos, or to control the political situation in southern Yunnan Province, there have been some deviations. Fortunately, Cai Zhengyang was able to stabilize his position and there was no uncontrollable situation.

Of course, this is also due to the lack of estimates of the central government's rebound of local political forces in southern Yunnan, so this wave of personnel adjustments at the beginning of the year. In fact, it proved that the central government's adjustment was successful. The vitality that the southern Yunnan now fully demonstrated this point. Cai Zhengyang seized the opportunity of the central government's adjustment and cleverly used this round of personnel adjustment to consolidate and stabilize the situation in southern Yunnan. Now the situation in southern Yunnan has truly entered a stage of healthy development.

Perhaps Cai Zhengyang had some shortcomings in his work in the early stage, which may be related to his just serving as the provincial party secretary. Now Cai Zhengyang has gradually regained the situation with his skills and experience, which is enough to reassure the central government.

"Zhengyang, the work in southern Yunnan has started well this year. We must grasp the central government's development inclination for the western region, especially the border areas, scientifically plan key subordinates, and strive to take advantage of this round of central government's inclination in policies, projects and investment to make a major improvement in the situation in southern Yunnan. At the same time, more importantly, we must use the central government's assistance to focus on building and building a number of industries suitable for southern Yunnan, which can grow and have competitive advantages in southern Yunnan. This is the key."

Wen Guoji's words inspired Cai Zhengyang. He has been thinking about how to consider planning the development of the dominant industries in southern Yunnan, and wants to explore a new way.

To this day, the tobacco industry still occupies half of the land, and other industries seem to have become affiliated industries. Although the tobacco industry has brought huge financial benefits, and from the current perspective, the tobacco industry will still have relatively large room for development for a considerable period of time, from a long-term perspective, the tobacco industry should not be a dominant industry. Moreover, a province like Southern Yunnan only takes the tobacco industry as the dominant industry seems a bit ridiculous. Although it is caused by historical factors and special environments, this cannot be a reason to continue this situation.

However, the relatively backward infrastructure in southern Yunnan restricts the development of the economy of southern Yunnan, especially in the southwest corner, with closed areas on the east and south sides, while the economies of Guizhou and Guangxi provinces in the west are relatively backward. Even the economy of Sichuan Province in the north can only be said to be a master in the western region. Both geographical environment and transportation conditions have limited the development of southern Yunnan. In addition, since the liberation and reform and opening up, the country has been insufficient in investment in the southwest border areas, which objectively led to the economy of southern Yunnan hovering downstream of the country.

However, facing the excellent opportunity for southern Yunnan to develop, the central government promotes the southward strategy towards ASEAN, opens up the channel to the southwest into the Indian Ocean, and promotes the process of economic and trade integration between ASEAN and China. The country has increased its investment in transportation and energy and other infrastructure in the southwest region. Under this premise, it is an urgent task to scientifically plan and lay out the future industrial development structure of southern Yunnan.

"Prime Minister, your words have made our cadres and masses in southern Yunnan excited. I have been in southern Yunnan for more than two years and deeply felt the people's expectations for development and their yearning for a better life on this land. We have rich resources in southern Yunnan, especially non-ferrous metals and biological resources, which are the first in China, but why is our southern Yunnan economy always hovering in the downstream of the country? I and ordinary people in the provincial party committee have also repeatedly thought about it and studied it. In addition to the fact that there is still a certain gap with developed coastal areas in terms of ideas, another important factor is the serious lag in infrastructure, especially external transportation infrastructure construction, which directly leads to a series of restrictions on the development atmosphere, talent gathering and industrial development choices."

Cai Zhengyang's words are sincere, and his desire to change the appearance of southern Yunnan is beyond words.

"But it is difficult to rely on the power of southern Yunnan to achieve a major breakthrough, so this requires strong support from the central government in this regard. Now our southern Yunnan is facing such a huge historical opportunity. Our southern Yunnan Provincial Committee has also put forward a series of ideas for this, such as the biological industry of core industries such as bioengineering, biopharmaceuticals, bioagriculture, bioenergy, bioenvironmental protection, and the high-end mechanical and instrument manufacturing industry mainly based on advanced machinery and equipment production, and the deep processing of non-ferrous metals in bases such as Quzhou, Hongshan and other bases and their
