Section 15 Post-Chen Yinglu era

Wu Yeshan's cheeks were thin and a small black mole on her lips gave her a little more elegant atmosphere. However, this woman's style has never been elegant. Even the big troubles in Jingxian did not make her quiet for long. So now, she has begun to become active again.

"I know what Secretary Ning said to me, and Secretary Chen also knows. I don't know what Secretary Ning and Secretary Chen said. I'm not sure. I discussed with Secretary Hu how to protect cultural relics in combination with urban planning and construction, and at the same time, we should give full play to the effect of historical relics and cultural relics, and contribute to the development of Huaiqing." Zhao Guodong smiled casually, "Secretary General Hu is very interested in our rich historical relics resources in Huaiqing. I hope we should pay special attention to this point. Your Jing County is a place where the north and south are fighting for military strategists. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there have been many military relics. In this regard, we can also play this card in combination with cultural relics protection and development."

Gou Dejian and Wu Yeshan were both amused by Zhao Guodong's words, "Mayor Zhao, our Jingxian County has a good military base in history and has many ruins. However, the protection and development of cultural relics requires sufficient financial resources to support it. We also hope to use our historical cultural relics resources to develop the tourism industry. Investors must like it. Let our county party committee and government take out money from the finances, which can only be the most basic protection and repair, and development is absolutely unreasonable."

Gou Dejian's very straightforward and frank words made Zhao Guodong laugh, "Secretary Gou, what do you think is the most urgent problem that you Jingxian needs to solve at the moment?"

Gou Dejian pondered for a moment before saying solemnly: "Mayor Zhao, this is the reason why County Mayor Wu and I came to you today."

Seeing that the other party was so serious, Zhao Guodong also curled his smile and nodded, "Old Gou, I knew you must have some ideas and actions when you arrived in Jingxian County, but I am very happy. If you have ideas, it means you have used your heart. Let's talk."

"Mayor Zhao, our county party committee and county government have an idea, which is to first include Jingxian into the half-hour economic circle in the city, so that the Jingxian economy and Huaiqing city will be more closely integrated. To achieve this, the third-level highway of Huaijing Highway is far from competent, so our county party committee and county government intends to ask the municipal party committee and government to first take Jingxian into consideration when planning the traffic."

Gou Dejian's eyes were scorching and he looked directly at Zhao Guodong.

The half-hour economic circle was also just proposed by Zhao Guodong, but at present, there is only a preliminary idea. It has not even been officially mentioned that the Municipal Government Office and the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee have come to discuss it. He only talked about this idea with Xu Qiao and Yu Wenliang. Unexpectedly, Gou Dejian was so smart that he could find out the news.

According to Zhao Guodong's idea, Huaiqing should be divided into three steps to include six counties in the city into the Dahuaiqing Economic Circle. The first step is to completely open up the bottlenecks of Guining and Chengjiang roads, which are most mature. Guining has the main road of National Highway 226, and in fact there is no problem, especially Chengjiang, which is only 36 kilometers away from Huaiqing city, but it is still a third-class highway. Zhao Guodong hopes to build a second-class automobile dedicated highway within two years, so as to achieve close connection between Chengjiang county economy and Huaiqing urban economy and promote the economic development of Chengjiang.

Jing County also included Zhao Guodong's half-hour economic circle idea, but on the one hand, Jing County's economy is far inferior to Chengjiang, and on the other hand, Jing County is 45 kilometers away from Huaiqing City, and 25 kilometers belong to Weiqiu District, which is different from the plain landform between Chengjiang and Huaiqing. There is a big gap in construction costs and economic interests. Therefore, Zhao Guodong considered planning for the three counties of Wuchuan, Gulou and Jingxian after 2003.

Zhao Guodong pondered for a while and said nothing. It was not that he did not want to include Jingxian in the highway construction plan of this half-hour economic circle, but that this was not in line with his original intention of starting from the perspective of economic interests.

Chengjiang's GDP has reached 3.2 billion in 1999. The general machinery manufacturing industry developed by the heavy machinery manufacturing industry, which is based on the supporting services of the five golden flowers of Huaiqing, the machine tool manufacturing industry and Jianyang's power generation equipment manufacturing industry, is already well-known in the province. It is expected to reach 3.7 billion this year, with a growth rate of more than 15%.

However, Jingxian's economic situation is far inferior to Chengjiang. The GDP in 1999 was less than 1.2 billion, and it is expected to reach only 1.4 billion this year. It is still a long way from Wuchuan and Gulou. If Jingxian is to be included in this half-hour economic circle, it is conceivable that the investment in the transformation of this Huaijing Highway into a secondary highway is huge, and whether it is in line with its original intention will be questioned.

"Old Gou, I won't hide it from you. This half-hour economic circle is just a preliminary idea for me at present. The city has not discussed it yet, but you probably know that my original intention is to first consider Guining and Chengjiang, and then Wuchuan and Gulou. Jingxian did not include my idea. Of course, this is just my personal opinion."

"After all, everyone knows that if you want to be rich, you need to build roads first, but building roads requires massive amounts of funds. Whether it is a province, city or county, it is not realistic for which one to bear this part of the funds. I guess it will take many companies to gather the strength of the company, but even so, the county's finances will have to bear a lot of pressure. Have you considered the financial support capacity of your county?"

Zhao Guodong's words made Gou Dejian and Wu Zishan silent. Jingxian's financial resources were quite weak. It can be said that it would be an exaggeration to eat the food in the sky and tear the east wall to repair the west wall, otherwise it would not have caused that storm. If it is true that as Zhao Guodong said, Jingxian's finances would also have to bear a considerable amount of funds, then the recent reconstruction of this road would be obviously unrealistic.

"Mayor Zhao, I heard that you had made great efforts in road construction when you were in Hualin County, Ningling City. Could it be that our Jing County is not as good as Hualin?" Wu Zishan glanced at Gou Dejian and interrupted.

Zhao Guodong was stunned. He didn't expect that Wu Zishan would actually use such a general chess game.

"County Magistrate Wu, are you talking about converting Huaijing Highway into a loan toll road?" Zhao Guodong asked back.

"Is there anything wrong?" Wu Zishan said with a high head.

"Although Huaijing Highway is now at level 3, it does not charge. Even if it is converted to level 2, it will inevitably touch the interests of many people and arouse a lot of resistance and opposition, which is second." Zhao Guodong said slowly: "The key is that the construction planning that has been laid out in the city in the near future is relatively large. If you want to include Huaijing Highway in the plan, even if you want to operate the toll road, you will need considerable investment in the early stage. It is probably very difficult to restrict it from multiple factors."

"Mayor Zhao, we can't stop doing it just because it's difficult, right? Don't you often say Chairman Mao's words, "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as we are willing to climb? If we don't try or do it, how can we know that it won't work?" Gou Dejian said steadily.

Zhao Guodong looked straight at Gou Dejian with a calm face, and after a long time, he nodded slightly: "Okay, Lao Gou, I have learned to use my words to block my mouth. OK, Lao Gou, what are you going to do?"

"It is still impossible to break through two roads. On the one hand, we must strive for policy and fund support from the province and the city. On the other hand, it is best to find investors who are willing to invest. Establish a construction company, repair it first, and obtain the charging license for a certain period of time in the province. If we can obtain funds from the province, it can be ignored. The city and county levels themselves include the share capital in proportion to the investors, or they can also mortgage it to the bank to obtain more development funds."

Gou Dejian was obviously mentally prepared and his words burst out.

"Old Gou, you have planned it for a long time and just planned everything in place?" Zhao Guodong laughed. No matter how he planned it, it was at least proved that the other party wanted to do things, and this was worthy of praise.

"Mayor Zhao, it's not okay to not plan. Jingxian's financial resources are weak, but he can't wait. It's impossible for a pie to fall from the sky to hit us. We must plan and start early." Gou Dejian also laughed, "I have some connections with the Provincial Department of Finance, but I'm afraid I have to first establish a project with the Provincial Department of Transportation. I know Mayor Zhao, you came from the Department of Transportation. We have this connection and we must use it."

"Haha, Secretary Fu Tian is the real master of the transportation hall. It is more useful to find him than to find me." Zhao Guodong smiled slightly.

"Everyone has to be found, no one can escape. Mayor Zhao, this highway is the economic lifeline of our Jing County. Our Jing County cannot be compared with Ninghuaizhou, or even Qingping, so we cannot strengthen the connection with the city. If our Jing County can integrate into the half-hour economic circle of Huaiqing, it will definitely help our Jing County development." Gou Dejian's face was firm and solemn.

It was not until after Gou Dejian and Wu Yeshan left that Zhao Guodong was thinking about the purpose of Gou Dejian and his team.

It is obvious that Gou Dejian also wants to make some achievements. The third-level change of Huaijing Highway to Level 2 is not only an economic problem, but also a political problem. Chen Yinglu's statement at the third quarter economic operation analysis meeting made Gou Dejian realize that Huaiqing City has actually entered the post-Chen Yinglu era.

Stable development is no longer what Chen Yinglu wants now. To be precise, Chen Yinglu has been tied to a chariot with him for his political interests. Huai Qing's performance during this period from now until the end of his term of office at the end of 2002 will determine Chen Yinglu's political future.

Ning Fa's long conversation with Chen Yinglu at the Seven Star Pass that day must have had a great impact on Chen Yinglu. The rumors outside were not without reason, at least they were quite accurate when analyzing Huaiqing and Chen Yinglu's current situation.
