Back at the provincial party building, most of the offices in the building had their lights out.

In the dead of night, the secretary on duty, Jingwei and the driver, who don't know where to buy supper, gathered in the small conference room for supper. Li Gu then remembered that he hadn't even eaten dinner, smelled the aroma and was hungry, knocked on the door of the conference room, and said to the people inside: "Leave me a ......"

"Secretary Tian hasn't had dinner yet......"

Li Gu was slightly stunned, and then he realized that although Secretary Tian did not ask him about the afternoon, he had always been worried in his heart.

Li Gu pushed open the door of the office, saw Tian Jiageng wearing reading glasses and reading documents under the lamp, and shouted softly: "Secretary Tian ......"

Tian Jiageng took off his reading glasses and asked, "Xu Pei has a result?"

"Well," Li Gu nodded, and didn't say much, just told Tian Jiageng Xu Pei's suggestion to adjust Song Bingsheng's work, "Secretary Xu Pei suggested that Vice Governor Song should be in charge of the province's energy and transportation work, how to hand over Xucheng oil refining to Meigang to take over, and Meigang and Xucheng City have to discuss further, but I think the price will not be ridiculously high......"

Tian Jiageng nodded and said, "It's okay to let Vice Governor Song be in charge of energy and transportation, but this matter still needs to be discussed with Governor Zhao......

In particular, in recent years, the province's investment in energy and transportation has increased dramatically, and the special financial budget is large, and the degree of flexibility is high, and the authority has been greatly increased.

Song Bingsheng was only in charge of agriculture and science and technology in the provincial government, and he could only be regarded as a weak vice governor among the several vice governors of the provincial government; needless to say, the province's direct expenditure on science and technology development was only one or two hundred million yuan; although the adjustment of the responsibility for energy and transportation was not as large as that of the Standing Committee, it was definitely not a small progress.

In doing so, it seems that the influence and power of the Song family are fully infiltrated and concentrated in the energy and transportation fields of Huaihai Province, but Li Gu believes that Zhao Qiuhua and others should be able to easily see through the purpose behind such an arrangement.

Moreover, it is impossible for Song Bingsheng to refuse this arrangement; Song Bingsheng was eager to occupy the position of vice governor at the beginning, so how could he not swallow this bait at this time?

Li Gu knew that Secretary Tian might not be willing to make such an arrangement, but Xu Pei had taken a big step back, and he couldn't take a small step away here, otherwise there would be no way to unite.

In addition, there must be people in the faction who can hope to see such an arrangement, because in the eyes of some people, the more fierce they fight with other factions, the stronger the unity within their faction.

No matter who it is, even Premier Wang Yuan, they all need to find a way in the cracks...... "It's not early, isn't it time to go out for a bite to eat?" Li Gu asked.

He walked over to help Tian Jiageng clean up the documents that were spread all over the table, and then noticed that when he came in, Tian Jiageng was looking at the industrial planning materials of Xinpu Port, on the planning map, the coastal and offshore islands north of the steel industrial park and the Xinpu Electric Power Industrial Park under construction are the planning areas of the shipbuilding industry manufacturing base, and further north is the petrochemical park.

"Shen Huai shouldn't be thinking about Xucheng's oil refining for a day or two, right?" Li Gu asked Tian Jiageng.

"Now the province does not have the ability to remediate the Zhujiang waterway, even if Xucheng has to develop the petrochemical industry, how to solve the bottleneck of raw material sources?" Tian Jiageng said, said, "The petrochemical industry chain, there is a saying of 'oil head into tail', 'oil head' is appropriate to be placed in Xinpu, Xucheng can free up resources to make 'chemical tail', in this sense, Xudong Railway is also indispensable......

Li Gu let go of the pride that he thought he had a plan, calmed down, and could see it thoroughly:

After the completion of the Xudong Expressway, the passenger time between Xucheng and Donghua will be reduced to three hours, and people can travel between the two places by car, and the dependence on the train is not large; the significance of the electrification transformation and double-track construction of the Xudong Railway lies more in the logistics.

Purely from the perspective of favorable material flow, the effect of making great efforts to improve the Zhujiang River channel will be the most obvious.

Through the improvement of waterway shoals, silt flats and sand damping projects, the seaworthiness period of 10,000-ton cargo ships arriving in Xucheng will be increased from the current seven months to the whole year, and the logistics capacity of the Zhujiang waterway can at least be more than doubled.

However, there is no way to quantify the return on the investment in the improvement of the Zhujiang River waterway, which can only be said to be invested by the local or zhongyāng government using fiscal revenue, and the return will also be reflected in the increase in fiscal revenue.

Shut down

If you have an idea, you must also have the ability to implement it; given the serious shortage of financial resources at the Huaihai provincial level, it is unrealistic to spend billions of yuan on a large-scale renovation of the Zhujiang waterway.

The input and output of the Xinpu Port and Xudong Railway can be directly quantified, so it is possible to attract external capital to participate in the construction.

The Song system wants to realize the intention of exporting Huai coal to the east on the Xudong Railway and Xinpu Port, but this intention of the Song system is only a one-way logistics from west to east; correspondingly, after the completion of the whole project, in the direction from east to west, from Xinpu Port to the hinterland of Huaihai Province, there will be more than 40 million tons of logistics capacity increase.

This actually means that in the future, there will be more than 40 million tons of industrial raw materials, which can be transported to Yicheng, Xucheng and other places through Xinpu Port and Xudong Railway, which will improve a huge amount of space for the industrial development of Yicheng and Xucheng.

The large-scale construction of Xinpu and Meixi ports has made large sea vessels dock in Donghua and then transfer a large number of industries to the upper reaches of the Zhujiang River with river ships of less than 10,000 tons. In the absence of funds to vigorously remediate the conditions, this can also greatly improve the traffic efficiency of the Zhujiang River waterway, so that the logistics capacity is greatly increased.

At present, China is increasing its efforts to import crude oil from the Middle East:

A 100,000-ton oil tanker transports crude oil from the Middle East to Xinpu Port and then transports oil from 20 5,000-ton tankers to the upper reaches of the Zhujiang River, and 20 5,000-ton tankers directly transport oil from the Middle East.

Compared with this, a better model is to introduce a large amount of crude oil from North China or overseas, stop at Xinpu Port for direct refining, and then refine gasoline, diesel and industrial raw materials through the Zhujiang waterway, Xudong Railway, Xudong Expressway, secondary highways, canals and other logistics channels to Huaihai Province and further west of Henan, Hubei and other places, the efficiency will be further improved...... Only by doing a good job and doing a solid foundation can the economy of Huaihai Province take off.

In this sense, Shen Huai is Secretary Tian's most powerful practitioner and collaborator in the overall economic development of the province, right? Li Gu thought to himself, Secretary Tian also firmly supported Meigang to take over Xucheng Oil Refining because of the situation that might cause some unhappiness in the faction, right?

Tian Jiageng saw that Li Gu was fascinated by Xinpu's industrial planning materials, and said with a smile: "Meigang took over Xucheng oil refining, and other conditions were mentioned by Xucheng City, but the province has to add one more, after Meigang refines in Xucheng, the new refining scale in Xinpu cannot be less than three million tons......"

"Then the investment in the new refinery and crude oil port will be three or four billion, right?" asked Li Gu.

Li Gu has seen the detailed resources of the refining and chemical industry in Xu Pei, and also has some basic concepts of refining: "oil head to tail", crude oil into Xinpu port refining is the first step, in addition to the refined gasoline, In addition to diesel fuel, which can increase the energy supply in the province, other industrial raw materials produced as by-products are digested by the chemical enterprises in the province, a 3 million ton refining and chemical project, its own upstream and downstream industrial chain, the output value of the scale is amazing; in addition to creating a large number of jobs, it can also directly create 10 to 1.5 billion yuan of fiscal and tax revenue for the province every year.

"Shen Huai has ambitions to take over the Xucheng Oil Refinery, and the problem of funds naturally requires him to find a way; if he can't do this, the Xucheng Oil Refinery has no reason to cheapen him......" Tian Jiageng said with a smile, put some documents into his briefcase, and prepared to read them after returning home.

Li Gu smiled: "That's right, there's no reason to be too cheap for him......"

Tian Jiageng packed up the documents and said to Li Gu: "I thought about it, Huaixi City and the Provincial Working Committee of State-owned Assets are the two most suitable places for your development, and you must make a decision as soon as possible......

Li Gu nodded, Tian Jiageng is likely to leave Huaihai Province at the end of next year, he is almost forty years old for the New Year, he can't always follow Tian Jiageng's little follower, after all, he has to go out and lay his own world:

The deputy secretary and mayor of Huaixi Municipal Party Committee and the secretary of the provincial state-owned enterprise working committee are the two choices they face.

When I went to Huaixi, I was also responsible for promoting the mining and development of Huaihai coal resources.

Although the Song Dynasty proposed the idea of the eastward export of Huai coal, it was obviously impossible to give up all the benefits generated by the eastward export of Huai coal. Even if the development of coal resources in Huaixi is divided into three parts: Huaineng will get one, the provincial Huai Coal Group will get one, and local state-owned coal enterprises and private coal enterprises will also be further integrated.

If Li Gu wants to go to Huaixi, he will agree to concurrently serve as deputy secretary of the Huaixi Coal Group and Huaixi Municipal Party Committee. If he doesn't go, the Department of Planning and Economics will also change to other capable cadres to grasp the interests of this piece in his hands.

Of course, the Song family will also cooperate with them to prevent Zhao Qiuhua from having the opportunity to interfere, after all, Song Qiaosheng and the Song family want to clearly change the posture of confrontation with the Ji Jing Department in the past.

If he didn't go to Huaixi, Li Gu's other choice was to preside over the work of the provincial state-owned enterprise working committee.

Although there are now so many provincial state-owned enterprises, which are also full of mountains and factions, the direction of major restructuring is to screw the provincial state-owned enterprises into a relatively neat state-owned assets system for supervision.

This is the next step that Premier Wang Yuan will vigorously promote, and Li Gu's stay in Huaihai Province to take charge of the province's work in this area can also be said to be very challenging.

Although Donghua's future development prospects will be very good, the water will be too muddy if he wants to pass, and there is no need to intervene.

However, he could not delay until the eve of Tian Jiageng's departure from Huaihai, and if Tian Jiageng had not been in charge of the province for a year and a half, he would have been quite passive in presiding over the work.

Li Gu was still a little hesitant before this, and preferred to go to Huaixi, and when he heard Secretary Tian mention the arrangements for future work, he said directly: "Today's incident still touched me quite a lot, if possible, I hope to work in the State-owned Enterprise Working Committee......"

"Okay. Tian Jiageng nodded, and didn't ask Li Gu what he thought.
