In the next few days, Gu Biao embarked on the road to the south to prepare for the academic conference.

The first stop is Hujiang.

After all, Hujiang is the municipality directly under the central government with the largest economy in the country, and its level is very high, higher than that of ordinary ministries.

If Gu Biao had taken the documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Planning Commission, the Ministry of Economic and Trade and other major ministries and commissions, he might have been able to get the top leaders in the city to pay attention to them personally.

However, since he only took the documents of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, he asked for local assistance. Then, the highest level is only to meet the deputy in charge of science, education, culture, and public health.

As soon as he got off the plane, he went to the city hall to Bai Pier.

"*Mayor, thank you very much for supporting the work of our International IEC Institute and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Chapter. ”

Gu Biao contacted the other party as "IEC Society, Electromagnetic Compatibility Branch, and Initiating Director Unit", but he also held a letter from the Ministry of Electronics Industry in his hand.

The leader did not have an official tone: "You're polite, Comrade Xiao Gu, you are now outside, I remember seeing you the year before last -- yes, that was the time when the chief went to the 414 guest house to inspect the reconstruction and opening up of the Xijiao Hotel, weren't you there! Later, the chief wrote the inscription 'Zhaolong Hotel' to the father of the charter king, and you were also mentioned as a commendation." ”

Gu Biao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Your memory is really good, I have indeed seen it." I didn't dare to mention it rashly just now, for fear that you would think I was a friend. ”

"How can it be a set of friendships, it is all about doing things for the country, and it is supposed to be remembered. The leader said, waved his hand, and pointed to a director sitting on the side,

"Na, Xiao Liang and you are also old acquaintances, recently our team has been adjusted, and the cultural and tourism have been merged, all of which are under his control, and the specific work, let him cooperate with you." As long as foreign capital contributes money, it can be built and improved as much as it wants. If you want the Science and Technology Bureau to cooperate with the city's electronic enterprises, you can contact me directly, and I will help you coordinate. ”

Gu Biao hurriedly shook hands with the other party: "Of course Liang Ju knows, I have cooperated with the construction of Zhaolong Hotel and the filming of "Hujiang Beach", and I have already had a deep understanding of Director Liang's dedication. ”

Liang Ju smiled all over his face: "You're welcome, just call me Lao Liang." After all, I have to thank you, if you hadn't helped you run around back then, the Zhaolong Hotel wouldn't have been built so quickly. If the Zhaolong Hotel is not built, the central government will definitely lose the reception work to Yuezhou. ”

Zhaolong Hotel is the only hotel in Hujiang except Xijiao Hotel that has all rooms air-conditioned. It is also the completion of this hotel that gives Hujiang a hardware foundation to hold such a major international conference.

Otherwise, we can only rely on the hotels in Guangdong that receive foreign businessmen when the Canton Fair is held every year.

Therefore, the management of Hujiang's tourism department is still very grateful to Gu Biao.

"I'm relieved when Liang Ju says that, then, is the Zhaolong Hotel open now?" Gu Biao asked.

Liang Ju patted his chest: "The decoration is almost ready! If you disperse the smell again, you will be able to put it into trial operation immediately! I read that the document says that the meeting is the beginning of next year, right?

Zhaolong Hotel was approved at the beginning of the 80s, that is, when the filming of "Hujiang Beach" started, it took two years to complete the civil construction part of the high-end hotel with more than 20 floors, which was already very fast at that time, after all, the "special zone speed" has not yet been proposed.

After more than half a year, the installation and interior decoration of water and electricity are already very powerful.

Because the hotel replaced the land of the historical Hujiang Huating, it is near the South Railway Station, not far from Jinjiang Amusement Park, and it is very good to receive foreign guests, and it is also suitable for foreign guests to take a short trip by train - there are only old-fashioned gorgeous buildings on the Bund in Hujiang City, and there is no natural scenery to see, so when foreign industrial giants come to the meeting, it is still necessary to arrange a short trip.

Whether you go to Gusu or Qiantang, it is a good choice.

This point has also been carefully considered, and the previous reception experience in China has also proved that when Nixon and Kissinger came to China to negotiate, Hujiang was only the place where the communiqué was officially announced. During the negotiations on February 26 and 27, the president and secretary of state were specially dragged to live in a mysterious sanatorium in Guanyu, Huagang, Qiantang.

It is because there are indeed no scenic spots to visit in Hujiang.

Therefore, Gu Biao took the opportunity to put forward a request: "Director Liang, I still have a reluctant request, I don't know if I can ask the comrades of the railway to help at that time, introduce a high-speed tram, and it is also convenient to organize the delegates to visit nearby cities." Of course, the organizing committee can sponsor a portion of the cost. ”

When Nixon came, the last way to return to Hujiang from Qiantang was by land.

Although it is theoretically possible to choose a car, Gu Biao considered that the domestic security may not be very good at the beginning of 83, whether it is the eve of the most rampant fare road rage, or the special train is safer.

Director Liang was a little embarrassed: "The railway bureau is under the management of the ministry, and there is nothing to say locally." I'll try to help you ask. ”

Then he mediated a few phone calls in front of the leader.

If it weren't for Gu Biao holding a letter of introduction from the ministry in this matter, no one would really cooperate with him. But now that there is a façade demand to "not disgrace the Chinese", the situation is completely different.

In the end, the result of mediation was that the organizing committee donated money to buy a Kawasaki Heavy Industries locomotive with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, which could be used exclusively in the future. ($400,000, not for Shinkansen).

The railway bureau is responsible for funding the 180-kilometer double line of railway between the Hujiang River and Qiantang within half a year, re-maintaining and upgrading it, and improving the degree of electrification - anyway, the railway infrastructure upgrade is not for a meeting or two, and it will be useful after repair, so the railway bureau should pay for it itself.

Originally, the local government also wanted to get a high-power tram by itself, but in history, the first batch of domestic electrification transformations such as the Baocheng Line in China will take 85 years later. Nowadays, there is really no suitable domestic high-power electric locomotive, and if other railway bureaus want faster trams, they also have to buy Kawasaki and Mitsubishi.

Gu Biao felt that there was nothing to worry about in this field, anyway, another time and space of the bullet train and high-speed rail or something could be done in the future, so he didn't need to open it, just let it be.

After this matter was settled, Director Liang also promised that in the second half of the year, several main roads in the city between the airport and the South Railway Station and the Zhaolong Hotel would be repaired, which should be widened and widened, trees should be planted, and sanitation facilities along the way should be rectified......

These are not additional expenses, and what is already in the annual municipal budget is nothing more than the order in which roads to build first.

"Thank you so much for the cooperation of the Liang Bureau. After a day of talks, after listening to the local cooperation, Gu Biao shook hands tightly to express his gratitude.

Liang Ju said in a very stylish manner: "Yes, there will be this kind of international conference to enhance the influence of the city in the future, if Comrade Xiao Gu can influence the decision-making of foreign businessmen and suggest that they come to Hujiang to hold a conference, we will definitely cooperate more."

Speaking of which, it should be that I thank you, if you hadn't brought in important foreign guests, our cultural and tourism department would have worked hard to build it, and it would have been flattering to the blind. ”

……

Coming out of the relevant departments, the Liang Bureau insisted on sending a car to send Gu Biao. Gu Biao couldn't refuse, so he had to accept this good intention.

At first, the car driver thought that Gu Biao was going to the airport or train station, or to the hotel where he was staying, but Gu Biao just pointed to the address of a residential community near Fudan, and the other party didn't dare to ask more, so he sent him there.

Gu Biao's next step was to go back to his hometown Qiantang and continue to work for the organizing committee.

But his girlfriend Xiao Sui is in Hujiang, and now it's summer vacation, so he wants to come over and have a look.

For Xiao Sui, he still felt a little guilty in his heart - of course, he was also ashamed of Mina, and he couldn't tell the severity.

When I came back this time, I didn't know how long I would talk to the leader, so I didn't give notice in advance.

On the short journey from the city hall to the vicinity of Fudan, Gu Biao saw that the streets did not seem to be as peaceful as when he went abroad three months ago. There are a lot of people making trouble on the street, and many of them know that they are unemployed vagrants at a glance.

Since April, the state has focused on cracking down on economic crimes, and many self-employed and small private enterprises have been banned, and the economic atmosphere has been clear, but unemployment has skyrocketed again.

And the deterioration of law and order has not yet reached the most chaotic threshold, so YD has not yet come.

Gu Biao looked at it, and recalled the sincere gratitude of the two of them after chatting with Mayor * and Liang Ju just now:

The situation in Hujiang is actually quite good compared to other places, and it is much better than the same period in another time and space history.

The main reason is that Gu Biao changed history, helped CITIC Trust to do the bureau at the beginning of the 80s, and accelerated the process of yen bond financing, so the first phase of the two major projects of Baosteel and Yizheng Chemical Fiber was advanced by two years, changing the fate of the original delay to 85 years of production.

The launch of the first phase of Baosteel, coupled with the towing of families and various supporting facilities, is estimated to have created more employment opportunities for 200,000 people in Hujiang City.

According to rough social statistics at the time, an average of 100 more jobs would result in 5 fewer criminal offenders. After all, the Chinese are still relatively tolerant, and few people insist on taking risks when they have food.

With 200,000 people employed, YD will be able to eliminate thousands of repeat offenders next year.

The local leaders' gratitude to Gu Biao is obviously based on this consideration.

When they chatted, they also mentioned that the best domestic security is probably Yangzhou in Jiangnan Province next door, because Yangzhou is not a large place, and there are not as many surplus labor as other big cities.

The first phase of Yizheng Chemical Fiber, which has an investment of more than 30 billion yen, is also tens of thousands of direct employment and several times the supporting indirect employment.

Gu Biao saw it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's a merit.

At the same time, he also has a better understanding of the wisdom of the great man's route - the land of China can only feed 400 million people by agriculture, which is determined by the natural laws of the Malthusian trap. More than 30 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population has long since changed from 400 million to 1 billion.

So it's still necessary to let go into the city. At this time, the question of stability is, in the final analysis, a question of job creation.

It's still a great man who sees it most thoroughly.

As the Hujiang car stopped under a four-story building, Gu Biao pulled his mind back from the outside world.

He politely thanked the driver: "It's okay, master, go back, I'm sorry for you, thank Liang Bureau on my behalf." ”

Walking upstairs along the stairs and looking at the Xiao family's dwelling, Gu Biao suddenly felt in his heart: He is already a billionaire, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable to let his girlfriend live in this kind of building.

But if you think about it carefully, it has only been 3 months since his identity was completely whitewashed and he went to sea. I haven't been suspended from work before, and I don't dare to be high-profile if I have money, so there is no way.

It's not too late to think about it.

Especially when I walked to the door, I looked at the wooden door with no doorbell, no cat's eye, and no steel security door outside.

Thinking of the unemployed vagrants he saw along the way just now, Gu Biao couldn't help but be a little worried about this kind of security measure to prevent gentlemen and villains.

In any case, it is necessary to solve the security problem first.
