Volume VII Section 98 It is advisable to gather resources at high speed

"Well said!" Cheng Song couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhengyang, it seems that you feel the same as me, we organs and ministries are accustomed to the current work style of waiting for peace and stability, and people are superficial, and they are not aware that the times have changed until now, and they are not aware of what kind of support and help our higher-level functional departments are needed, and even indifferent, how can such an atmosphere adapt to the development under reform and opening up?"

"Governor Cheng I, Director Kang is still very concerned about this part, but this kind of accumulation of drawbacks, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and measures need to be taken from many aspects to change this situation. Sha Zhengyang nodded, "Director Kang has also discussed with me, and we have also realized the voices of the cities and counties below, so some of my recent work is mainly in this regard, but ......"

"This is far from enough!" Cheng Song said unceremoniously: "I know Lao Kang's difficulties, this is not his responsibility alone, it is still as you said, the disadvantages are deepening, and serious diseases need to be taken drastically!"

"Cheng Provincial I, I can only say from the perspective of my own work, as you said this year, the whole province is facing different opportunities, the tide of state-owned enterprise restructuring is surging, improving the investment environment, increasing the opening up of investment, and promoting the economic development of our inland areas has become a focus of the central work, as a provincial functional department, I have been thinking about how to solve the dilemma we are facing. Sha Zhengyang knew that the topic mentioned by Cheng Song should not be interjected by himself, and the most unfortunate thing should be discussed by Cheng Song and Kang Guangliang, so 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 main leaders of the province and the counties stationed in the cities planned 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 areas to achieve prosperity through industrial development and cultivation.

In Sha Zhengyang's view, the causes of poverty in poor areas are not complicated, and there are only a few things over and over again, and the problems are not difficult to find and figure out, but it is not easy to solve.

Now Kang Guangliang has added a burden to him, and Cheng Song also knows that how to solve it, he will use the strength and resources of all parties to break the situation.

Cheng Song saw that Sha Zhengyang deliberately changed the topic, and also understood the other party's hardships and concerns, and at the same time realized that his topic was a little too deep, like Sha Zhengyang, a deputy who had just entered the work of the Development and Planning Commission, it was not appropriate to discuss too much on this issue, and nodded: "Zhengyang, you have to remember one thing, you are young, there is no harm in doing more, the work of the Development and Planning Commission system is very exercised, every job can make you gain, from the work contact to the various channel resources, what I said, you should understand." ”

"Thank you for your concern, I understand. Sha Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then tell me, I see that you are very anxious, and you seem to be a little sure, I have a general understanding of the situation in Puchi and Wuling, and it will take a little effort to make some decent things out of these two places. Cheng Song glanced at the other party and felt that he seemed to be very confident, and he was also very curious.

Sha Zhengyang spent 40 minutes briefing Cheng Song on his research in Puchi and Wuling, talking about the weakness of the local secondary and tertiary industries and the difficulties faced by the primary industry, and also introducing some of his ideas on the adjustment of the local industrial structure and the planning and layout.

Cheng Song listened very carefully and agreed with Sha Zhengyang's views.

Lack of resources, lack of industrial base, weak local financial resources, industrialization and urbanization are quite weak, it is difficult to support the digestion of surplus labor, and the process of industrialization and industrialization is seriously lower than that of other prefectures and cities.

Sha Zhengyang also talked about a huge constraint facing investment promotion, transportation bottlenecks have become the first obstacle to the investment environment, and the other two are weak industries and conservative ideological styles.

"I understand, you have taken a fancy to Duyi Expressway?" Cheng Song is more intelligent than Kang's broad sense of smell, "Since you came to tell me at this time, you must have some certainty, let's talk about it, where does the possibility come from, and where are the difficulties? I don't believe that you don't know the amount of investment required for Duyi Expressway and the current financial pressure faced by the Hanchuan Provincial Government." ”

Sha Zhengyang put some of his own analysis and judgment and put it out, but still failed to convince Cheng Song: "I know what you said, in order to hedge the impact of the Asian financial turmoil on the domestic economy this year and realize the 8 strategy, it has indeed opened a hole in the construction of highways. No, it's impossible for us to stop the Hanzhaofu Expressway and the Hanwu Expressway now and use all the funds to support the Duyi Expressway, so where does this investment come from?"

"Governor I, have you considered bringing in funds from the World Bank and Japan?" Sha Zhengyang also knew that Cheng Song knew this very well, so he came to Cheng Song, hoping to persuade the other party first, and then promote the operation of this project.

"It's not easy for the World Bank to get approval, and they are very tight on this aspect of the fund, and they have high requirements for all kinds of conditions. Cheng Song was stunned for a moment, "Japan's cooperative loans are similar, the annual amount is limited, and most of them are considered in the name of the central government." ”

"Things are man-made, I have studied the World Bank loans in recent years, their recent investment direction has been adjusted, mainly for the poverty alleviation sector is more active, I think the Duyi Expressway can try to poverty alleviation strategy as an introduction, through road construction to lead up this involving eight or nine poor counties, improve the environment for local investment and development, and then realize the local people to work at home, to achieve the desire to get rid of poverty and become well-off, which is in line with the World Bank's lending trend in recent years. ”

Of course, Sha Zhengyang came prepared.

"Oh, World Bank loans?" Cheng Song didn't expect Sha Zhengyang to actually put the source of funds on the World Bank loan, and after a little thought, he said: "But the amount of high-speed investment is very large, where does the 35 percent of the capital and shares 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, and even if we can raise 35 percent of the shares, the World Bank loan can also be won, there is still a big gap." ”

When Cheng Song said this, he also admitted Sha Zhengyang's judgment on the World Bank loan, and believed that he was indeed certain that he would be able to obtain the World Bank loan.

"As for the Bank of Japan's loans to China, which you mentioned, Beijing and Shanghai are mainly concentrated, and not many inland provinces have received this kind of support,......

"I'm still saying that, it's man-made. Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "As far as I know, since last year, the amount of loans from the Bank of Japan to China has increased significantly, and I think this is also an opportunity. ”

Cheng Song waved his hand, "Well, okay, even if the loan can be solved, but what about the capital? Although I don't know how much static investment is required for the Duyi Expressway, from Handu to Yichang, there are at least nearly 400 kilometers in our Handu, right? Even if there are many provincial highways with curves and mountain roads, and the highway is cut and straightened, the tunnel viaduct can save a lot, and there should be 360 kilometers, right?" Moreover, the mountainous areas of the whole city in this area have complex karst landforms, and if we simply calculate that the investment will not be less than 8 billion, and how much capital is needed, 3 billion! The province can already do its best to come up with 1 billion at most, but where will the other 2 billion come from?"

That's the most important thing.

Sha Zhengyang knew that what Cheng Song said was still discounted, and the construction of Duyi Expressway in the previous life was in 2007, with a total cost of more than 22 billion, of course, the situation was different at that time, and the requirements were higher, such as the bridge-tunnel ratio, which is now ten years ahead of schedule, and the standard may not be so high, but Sha Zhengyang estimates that it will also cost 9 billion.

The problem is that Hanchuan Province last year in the road construction investment is only a mere 6.9 billion, a few years of increase is expected to be close to 11 billion, even if the Duyi Expressway is divided into five years of investment, then the next year will be close to 2 billion, this road investment accounted for one-fifth of the province's highway investment, which can not help but make people think twice.

"Governor Cheng Province, I think that to build this road, the central government may need to invest, and if it can, I suggest that our province can open up some ideas, do not have to stick to the box, and private enterprises can also become shareholders. Sha Zhengyang said slowly.

"Multiple strategies at the same time, through multiple channels to raise funds, you can see, these areas along the line are mountainous areas and areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, and some of them are old revolutionary areas, whether from the political and economic perspectives, as well as from the perspective of poverty alleviation, it is of great significance, I believe that if we can do a good job in this aspect of propaganda and momentum, we can do this, besides, isn't there you? You are now the leader of our Hanchuan Province, and you are familiar with the National Development and Planning Commission and the Ministry of Communications, so you have to use your resources, right? Whether it succeeds or not, if we don't try, we will definitely not succeed, but if we try, even if it fails, at least we can leave an impression on the top, maybe when the next round of projects is launched, we will consider this road first?"

"It seems that you have made up your mind, and you have made up your mind. Cheng Song was actually thinking about it, Sha Zhengyang said that no matter whether it succeeds or not, he must always try it, and Sha Zhengyang also proposed that private enterprises can join in, which is also a very creative initiative, and this kind of large-scale infrastructure construction has never been participated in by private enterprises before.
