"In almost all the text descriptions that introduce Donghua, the word 'Binjiang Linhai' will be used, and Donghua's bearing in the modern industrial society in the past and in the future is also in these four words. Director Xiong Wenbin was doing planning and research in related aspects in the Planning Commission in the early years and in the later period in the Political Research Office, and Director Chen Bing promoted practice in Xinpu," Shen Huai took Chen Bing's words and continued, "I am personally eager to build this steel project in Xinpu, hoping to lay some foundation for the future pattern of Donghua with large industrial projects." ”

Everyone here, no one is ambiguous in their hearts, and they can understand why Shen Huai focused on mentioning the four words "Binjiang and Linhai" at this time - Donghua City, two districts and one county Binjiang, three counties Linhai, and one district and three counties are located in the inland hinterland, and the four words "Binjiang Linhai" show the geographical framework of Donghua City.

Over the years, knowledgeable and capable officials in Donghua, including the initial promotion of the three towns along the Yangtze River in the southwest of Xipizha District to build a development zone, and Chen Bing's promotion of the construction of Xinpu Port and Xinpu Industrial Development Zone, have all relied on this geographical framework to promote local economic development.

Manpower is sometimes poor, and having ideas is one thing, but the limitations of the times and their own resources, as well as the habitual resistance of the old pattern, are not so easy to break through.

In the second half of '93, after he was transferred out of Xiapu County, the focus of attracting investment in Xiapu County was shifted back to the Chengnan Development Zone, and the work of the Xinpu Development Zone came to a standstill.

Due to the failure to keep up with the construction of infrastructure such as hydropower, sewage and road transportation, the Xinpu Development Zone has introduced several small enterprises in the past two years, and the construction of Xinpu Port, which only needs to invest 20 or 30 million yuan in the early stage, has not been completed.

In addition to the 5 billion direct investment brought by the project itself, the Xinpu Steel Plant project is indispensable to Donghua and Huaihai, and can directly open up the overall pattern of Binjiang and coastal development in Donghua City.

Although Huaihai Province is also among the coastal provinces and cities, it has lacked a significant port city for many years, and it can even be said that it lacks a significant port city.

After all, the Zhu River cannot be compared with the Yangtze River, and after dredging, the main channel of the Zhu River in the Xucheng section can only be navigated by 10,000-ton passenger and cargo ships. This makes the advantage of Xucheng river-sea intermodal transport limited to keeping in touch with domestic coastal cities, while it is difficult for larger tonnage foreign giant ships to directly enter the middle reaches of the Zhujiang River and dock at Xucheng Port.

The construction of large-scale seaports in coastal counties and cities to connect them with inland highways, railway networks, and shipping on the Zhujiang River is not only a problem of the development pattern of Donghua City, but also a problem of the overall development pattern of Huaihai Province.

After Tian Jiageng went to Huaihai Province to serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee, he focused on promoting the construction of the Xudong Expressway project on the north bank of the Zhujiang River and promoting the electrification of the Xudong Railway.

Shanxi coal east out of the south line project, involving Shanxi coal, southeast coastal provinces and cities power demand energy development pattern, Ji system behind the stealth, at the national level to promote, but also can not be launched, Huaihai Province to carry out the construction of a large framework of the pattern, just rely on their own accumulation and efforts, the difficulty can be imagined.

Huaihai Province needs to promote the development of this large framework and large pattern of heavy projects, and the Xinpu Steel Plant project can only show its weight if it is placed under this large framework.

The Xinpu Port, which will be built for the Xinpu Steel Mill, will have a 50,000-ton berth in the first phase, and the annual throughput will reach 10 million tons after the construction; the coal conveying port built by the Huaineng Group for the power plant project will also build a 30,000-ton berth in the first phase, and the annual throughput will reach 4 million tons after completion.

Shen Huai did not directly mention the general framework of the development of Huaihai Province, but Li Gu believed that he could see where the general pattern of Huaihai Province's development was.

*******************

At noon, he dined in the Huaihai Hotel, and Tian Jiageng had to meet with officials of the Ministry of Communications at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the conversation lasted until half past three, when Shen Huai, Xiong Wenbin, Chen Bing, Zhao Dong, Song Hongjun and others said goodbye and left.

As soon as I arrived at the Donghua Hotel to rest, my butt was not yet hot, and my sister-in-law called to ask about the noon meeting.

"Tian Jiageng went to Huaihai Province, he still wanted to do something, and to form a general pattern of the development of Huaihai Province, we can't refuse to join forces outside the faction - this should be the understanding we should have now, I think Tian Jiageng should not lack such a mind," Shen Huai told his sister-in-law the details of the noon conversation on the phone, and said, "And I went to the Huaihai Hotel with Xiong Wenbin, Chen Bing and Hongjun to see Tian Jiageng, I believe Zhao Qiuhua will know soon." We also have no intention of maliciously squeezing the interests of the provincial steel and the Zhao family in Donghua, the future is nothing more than a question of who can develop better, I believe that Zhao Qiuhua will not maliciously obstruct the Xinpu project......"

Shut down

"Well, with this foundation, it will be easier to promote many things," Song Wenhui said, "By the way, since you are all in Yanjing today, and you respect Xiong Wenbin and Chen Bing so much, your second uncle wants to take this opportunity tonight to meet with them and get to know them." Do you have any other arrangements for the evening?"

"Okay," Shen Huai said, "we don't have any other arrangements for the night. ”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Huai said to Song Hongjun: "The second uncle will arrange to have dinner together in the evening, and everything else will be put off first." ”

Song Hongjun smiled, he knew that Shen Huai might not be comfortable in his heart, but the scale of the Xinpu project is so large, it needs the approval of the State Planning Commission and other relevant departments under the State Council, and if you want to promote the implementation more smoothly, in addition to the attitude of the province, the comprehensive support of the Song family is very important.

The second uncle Song Qiaosheng also took this opportunity to show his attitude of supporting the Xinpu project, indicating that he would make a new choice between Shen Huai and Tan Qiping, and asked his sister-in-law to spread the word in the middle, in fact, he was afraid that Shen Huai's temper would be twisted there, so that everyone would not be able to get off the stage.

Song Hongqi came back from the ministry early, and accompanied his father's secretary Han Jian to Fengze Garden to arrange a banquet first.

Song Hongyi was angry and didn't want to see Shen Huai's villain's smug face; Xie Haicheng was in Yanjing, and Song Qiaosheng personally came forward to help reconcile, so he couldn't hide and not meet.

When it was almost time, he rushed to the Fengzeyuan Hotel by car, and Shen Huai and Song Hongjun accompanied Xiong Wenbin and Chen Bing, so they rushed over before him and sat in the lounge to talk.

"My dad had an appointment with Vice Governor Xu of Ji Province in the ministry, and it might take half an hour to get out. Song Hongqi walked out and picked Xie Haicheng in, explaining that his father would have to wait some time to get over.

Xie Haicheng walked into the lounge, saw Xiong Wenbin, Chen Bing and others standing there talking to Song Wenhui, saw him walk in, and also came over to greet him, he was full of emotion in his heart, and he could only smile, as if he was an old friend meeting in another country.

Tan Qiping's departure from Donghua is a foregone conclusion, and the power structure of Donghua will be newly divided, but the Meigang system can at least be one of the three parts of the world, and it will be the most deeply rooted system.

SITC has fallen too deep in Donghua, it is impossible to withdraw, and the stalls are scattered, and the interests are easy to infringe, at this time, if you do not compromise and do not bow your head to a certain extent, you should not expect Meigang to safeguard the interests of SITC in Donghua.

Looking at the reluctant smile on Xie Haicheng's face, Shen Huai suppressed his voice and smiled with Song Hongjun: "Do you think he will be more bitter in his heart than Huang Lian? ”

Song Hongjun knew that Shen Huai's agreement to attend the dinner and drink at the same table with Xie Haicheng was mainly for the sake of maintaining the overall situation, but he was afraid that he would never have a good impression of Xie Haicheng, and it was already a good temper to be able to suppress his voice and taunt him in front of him.

Song Qiaosheng didn't let everyone wait too long, and soon rushed over by car directly from the ministry, and with Song Qiaosheng, there was also Cheng Yi's father Cheng Wenguang.

I didn't know in advance that Cheng Wenguang would also attend, and Shen Huai was also surprised to see Cheng Wenguang and his second uncle Song Qiaosheng walking in together; Song Hongjun leaned into his ear and said with a smile: "It seems that you and Cheng Yi's affairs, you have to obey if you don't obey." ”

Shen Huai smiled bitterly, he didn't know what kind of mental journey his second uncle had experienced, but he could clearly feel that his second uncle was adjusting in many postures - maybe this was his way of survival, right?

"Your movements are very big," Cheng Wenguang looked at Shen Huai coming over and said with a smile, "I know that you are going to build a steel plant in Huaihai that is the sixth largest in China, and I am also very surprised, and I didn't expect that you have done such a meticulous job." ”

"In addition to the port, Donghua coal and iron mineral resources are very scarce, mainly relying on foreign imports, in terms of traditional industrial development ideas, is not suitable for the development of steel," Shen Huai said, "but the rise of the steel industry in Japan and South Korea, rapidly surpassing Europe and the United States, its dependence on the resources of coal and iron ore is also very low, more is the use of the low transportation cost of the port, large-scale import of raw materials from overseas, and large-scale export of products, in order to form a more obvious scale advantage than traditional iron and steel enterprises, and livable, relatively open, Economically developed port cities are more conducive to gathering talents and forming a larger-scale related industrial cluster - this is the development model of the steel industry in Japan and South Korea represented by South Korea's Xiangpu, Japan's Nippon Steel, Fuji Steel, etc. As early as the 80s, Director Xiong Wenbin had an in-depth study on the development model of the steel industry in Japan and South Korea, and provided ideas for the layout of steel mills in Donghua City along the rivers and seas. Meigang takes this road, not only to absorb the advantages of the development model of the steel industry in Japan and South Korea, but also to embed in the domestic energy layout, which can only be regarded as stepping on the shoulders of predecessors to make some achievements......"

Shen Huai introduced Xiong Wenbin and Chen Bing to Cheng Wenguang and his second uncle, "In order to build Xinpu Port into a real port town, it is not enough to rely on a project of Xinpu Steel Mill, and it is far from enough to rely on local resources. Our initial plan is to transfer all the shares held by Xinpu Iron and Steel to BIIC, and BIIC will use this as a basis to attract more construction funds for the infrastructure construction of Xinpu Port. In the future, BIIC will be active in Yanjing, and Uncle Cheng will take care of Uncle Cheng and Erboduo......"

Cheng Wenguang listened to Shen Huai's introduction, and he could generally understand Shen Huai's arrangement:

Chen Bing will not leave Yanjing for the time being, but he will further make Donghua Jingtou bigger and thicker, which requires further games with the provinces and cities; Xiong Wenbin is an important candidate for Shen Huai to directly promote the Donghua City Standing Committee and represent the interests of Meigang at the municipal party committee level.

The Song family wants to really integrate the Meigang system, and naturally pays considerable attention to Xiong and Chen.

Cheng Wenguang shook hands with Xiong Wenbin and Chen Bing, and said with a smile: "Now is a great era of talented people and shining stars, our previous vision is also a little narrow, and we have not tapped enough capable talents in the local area, but if you think about it, the great development of the whole country is not supported by the local government?"
