As soon as the lid was lifted, the movements of both sides were extraordinarily fast.

The next day, Wang Yunqing, secretary of the Pingjiang Municipal CPC Committee, rushed to Donghua to attend a forum on regional cooperation.

The Pingjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will soon discuss and approve the decision on the joint development of the Qingsha Yanjiang Industrial Park and the Meixi New Area at the economic work conference in early July.

This is the fastest thing that the Pingjiang Municipal Party Committee can pass a decision.

The core part of the linkage development is the governments of Tangzha District and Qingsha County, in the Yanjiang Industrial Park of Qingsha County, a total of 10 square kilometers of industrial land has been allocated in the two phases to jointly build the Meixi-Qingsha Metallurgical Industrial Park, and the governments of the two places will also provide sufficient resources to promote the construction of the Fengli Tuduban project in this metallurgical industrial park as soon as possible.

In the next five years, in addition to land transfer income and local tax returns, Tangzha District also promised to invest 500 million yuan in the construction of supporting infrastructure such as land leveling, roads and gardens, water supply and drainage, power supply and wharves along the river in the metallurgical industrial park, and build standard factories and office buildings for rent.

The Tangzha District Party Committee and District Government also passed resolutions on relevant matters at about the same time and submitted them to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for approval.

At the same time, the Pingjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government passed a resolution on financial innovation and promoting the restructuring and share expansion of Pingjiang City Commercial Bank, allowing Donghua City Commercial Bank and Yexin Bank to inject capital to hold a total of 20% of the shares of Pingjiang City Commercial Bank, and allowing foreign banks Berkeley and BNP Paribas to inject capital to hold a total of 10% of the shares of Pingjiang City Commercial Bank.

In addition to injecting 400 million yuan of capital into Pingjiang City Commercial Bank, the four banks will also jointly provide a total of 1.5 billion yuan of project loans to Fengli Group to promote the construction of the Tudu plate project with an annual output of one million tons in Meixi-Qingsha Metallurgical Industrial Park.

Since Donghua City Commercial Bank was established at the beginning, there were foreign banks and business credit banks participating in the shares, and the management was on the right track.

The Donghua Municipal Government through the municipal state-owned enterprises, the indirect state-owned equity was controlled at about 30% at the beginning, and then several capital increases and shares, the city did not participate, the equity fell to about 15%, at this time it is difficult to say that the city commercial bank and Meigang for control.

Therefore, Donghua City Commercial Bank only needs to report to the municipal government for the approval of the relevant financial cooperation agreement, and does not need to obtain the approval of the municipal party committee and municipal government.

The cooperation agreement between Xinpu Port and Pingjiang Port was also signed in late July.

Pingjiang does not have deep-water seaport resources, and in the past, Pingjiang's bulk commodity import and export trade was mostly distributed through Zhenhai Port, which is five or six hundred kilometers away.

In addition to the connection of river-sea intermodal transportation and the greatly reduced distribution voyage, Xinpu Port and Pingjiang Port will also take a similar form to the joint construction of Meixi-Qingsha Metallurgical Industrial Park, and the two sides will jointly fund the establishment of a joint venture port investment and development company to carve out two kilometers of coastline resources south of the iron and coal terminal to invest in the construction of new berths, which will expand the total scale of Xinpu Port at the same time, but also allow Pingjiang to share the huge benefits brought by the development of Xinpu Port. In this way, the Pingjiang port department will also have more incentive to promote the distribution of bulk commodities in Pingjiang through Xinpu Port.

The cooperation in the Huaihai Bay region is mainly concentrated in Donghua and Pingjiang, and the specific framework of cooperation is promoted by Guo Chengze, Chen Bing and others in the districts, counties and cities, while at the upper level, Xu Pei puts the cooperation under the framework of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone Development Leading Group.

Although no formal resolution has been issued in a short period of time, in mid-August, Wei Nanhui, secretary of the Qingsha County Party Committee, was officially promoted to the deputy mayor of the Pingjiang Municipal Government in the list of relevant provincial management cadres promoted and adjusted by the Organization Department of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee.

Although he is still one step away from the real ideal situation and standing as a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingjiang Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Qingsha County Party Committee, compared with the beginning of the year when he was afraid that the throne of the county party secretary could not be kept, Wei Nanhui took a solid step in his career, and at the same time, Song Hongqi's hope of presiding over the work of important districts and counties was completely extinguished.

In order to promote regional cooperation and to place regional cooperation within the framework of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone Development Leading Group, Xu Pei passed a resolution at the Provincial Standing Committee in mid-August to set up a coordination group for regional cooperation in the Huaihai Bay Area, inviting Wang Yunqing, Wei Nanhui, and other Jiangdong provincial officials to participate.

With the cooperation of Shen Huai, the Huai Electric Power Transmission Project was also placed under the Huai Bay Regional Cooperation Framework as soon as possible.

In order to promote the start of the construction of Lanjiang Expressway, Xu Pei, Wang Yunqing, Wu Haifeng and Shen Huai, who was hidden behind the scenes, all advocated the establishment of Lanjiang Expressway Group Co., Ltd. in addition to the provincial high-speed group.

In the draft plan, the registered capital of the shares of the Lanjiang Expressway Group will reach 1 billion yuan, which will be led by the Huaihai Government Construction Fund to contribute 500 million yuan, the Lanshan, Donghua, and Pingjiang municipal governments and the Jiangdong and Huaihai Provincial Expressway Groups and other five units will each contribute 100 million yuan, and the subsequent construction funds of nearly 3 billion yuan will be mainly supported by the Huaihai Government Construction Fund and relevant banks to provide low-interest loans; after the completion of the Lanjiang Expressway, the operating rights of the Lanjiang Expressway for 25 years will be owned by the group company.

After the completion of the Lanjiang Expressway, it will be connected to the expressway network in Jiangdong Province to the south, and in Xiapu, as long as more than 200 million yuan is invested to introduce a 20-kilometer branch expressway to the east, it will be able to connect with the Xudong Expressway.

In addition to further strengthening the core position of Xinpu Port in the intersea transportation system of Huaihai Bay, it is also of great significance to the subsequent development of Xinjin Port.

Judging from the direct competition in his career alone, Zhao Qiuhua never hopes that the Huaihai Bay regional cooperation under Xu Pei's leadership can make too big, too strong, and too dazzling momentum, nor does he hope that so much work can achieve breakthrough progress in a short period of time.

Chen Baoqi, Yu Chengzhen, Gao Yang, Ge Yongqiu, Han Shouchun and others, as well as the provincial steel, can generally be consistent with Zhao Qiuhua, but the status of Rongxin Group and Zhao Qiuhua within the Hu system is equal, whether to protect Zhao Qiuhua's status in Huaihai from Xu Pei's excessive exclusion, and sacrifice the interests of Rongxin Group in Xinjin Port, the voices within Rongxin Group are a little mixed.

Rongxin Group has invested heavily in Xinjin to participate in the construction of Xinjin Iron and Steel, Xinjin Port and other projects.

At the same time, in addition to leading the construction of the riverside business district in Qinjiang District in Xucheng, Rongxin Real Estate has also invested heavily in large-scale comprehensive real estate development in Donghua, so they need to plan too much.

Even if the construction of the Lanjiang Expressway does not start, the construction of the Xudong Expressway to the east of the Xinpu Port project will start within this year, and the advantages of the Xinpu Port will be thoroughly determined after the completion of the Xudong Railway double-track project.

It is extremely difficult for Xinjin Port to surpass Xinpu Port, but as the industrial base of Rongxin Group in China, the most urgent thing for Xinjin Port is to first realize the connection with Xudong Expressway and Xudong Railway, so that there will be greater development potential in the future, rather than just the production base of the joint venture steel plant between Provincial Steel and Rongxin Group.

The construction of Lanjiang Expressway was started, and Rongxin Group could realize the connection between Xinjin Port and Jiangdong and Huaihai provinces without paying a penny.

If Zhao Qiuhua still has a great future in his career, he may indeed bet more chips on him, but Zhao Qiuhua's performance in Huaihai in the past few years can only be described as unsatisfactory, and there are also people within the Hu family who are more inclined to exchange for more practical benefits.

And in the province, the sound is even simpler.

In the past, the scale of Lanjiang Expressway construction was planned to be mainly based on the provincial government's financial allocation.

After the completion of the Lanjiang Expressway, it will mainly benefit the two cities of Donghua and Lanshan; under such a tight situation of infrastructure construction funds, how can the other 11 prefecture-level cities in the province agree that the province will tilt such a large amount of construction funds towards Donghua and Lanshan?

Now, there is no need for provincial financial allocation, the Lanjiang Expressway is carried out under the framework of Huaihai Bay Regional Cooperation, and the main funds are funded by the Huaihai Government Construction Fund and the beneficiary municipal governments.

The biggest resistance in the past is eliminated at once, and when the resistance is removed, the driving force becomes more dazzling.

The construction of a cross-river bridge at the mouth of the Zhujiang River will truly realize the rapid connection of Pingjiang and Donghua in terms of geography, and make it more convenient for Pingjiang and other counties and cities on the south bank of the country to trade and transport bulk commodities through Xinpu Port, laying a solid hardware foundation for regional cooperation between the two places, and the significance is naturally needless to say.

As for the construction of the Lanjiang Expressway, Donghua City's finance only needs to allocate 100 million yuan of funds, Chen Baoqi and Yu Chengzhen have a hundred reluctances in their hearts, how can they say a "no" in the city?

Lanshan City in the northern section of Lanjiang Highway, and other cities in Huaihai Province, are mainly blocked by Yuanshan Mountain, which seems to be very marginal, and the most convenient thing on land is to connect with Donghua.

After the strong rise of Donghua's economy, especially the completion of the Haiphong Highway and the start of the construction of the Lanshan section of the Jinghai Highway, Lanshan City has also been affected by a certain radiation, and its economic development has improved somewhat, but it is still far from being strong.

Lanshan, which has long been marginalized, has no highways, no railways, and no large-scale deep-water seaports to build capacity, has slipped into one of the poorest cities in Huaihai Province, and needs to be improved urgently.

The construction of the Lanjiang Expressway requires the Lanjiang Municipal Government to bear the obligation of 100 million yuan of capital contribution, which exceeds the financial capacity of Lanshan City, but when he heard that the construction of the Lanjiang Expressway was to be started, Pang Yunsong, secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee, at the working meeting of the Huaihai Bay Regional Cooperation Coordination Group in early September, patted his chest loudly and said that if he went back, he would smash the pot and sell iron, and he would make up the money without delay when needed.

This is completely a good thing of "if you miss this village, you will not have this store", and everyone knows in their hearts that without the Huaihai Government Construction Fund to take the lead, the Lanjiang Expressway may not be able to start construction for ten years.

The coordination meeting went very smoothly, everyone's attitude was very positive, and the meeting ended soon, Wang Yunqing and Wei Nanhui had to rush back to Pingjiang overnight, and Shen Huai broke up with them in the parking building in front of the Baiyi Pavilion of the Provincial Guest House.

When Shen Huai goes to the province for a meeting, he will reunite with Cheng Yi, and naturally he will not ask Du Jian or Wang Weicheng to follow them - as soon as he drove out of the gate of the State Guest House, Li Gu called:

"Lao Pang wants to invite you to dinner at night to see his posture, but I don't want you to refuse. ”

Pang Yunsong was earlier deputy director of the Provincial Economic Commission, and Tian Jiageng, former secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was transferred to Lanshan to serve as executive vice mayor in Huaihai.

In order to promote the work of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone, Xu Pei relied more heavily on Pang Yunsong, who rose relatively quickly in Lanshan, and served as secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee at the beginning of the year, and he had a good personal relationship with Li Gu.

"Secretary Pang's chest was beating loudly at the meeting, this person hasn't finished yet, he won't say that Lanshan can't even make up this 100 million, right?" Cheng Yi was already waiting for him to drive over to pick him up in the office, Shen Huai really didn't want to go to Pang Yunsong's dinner, so he directly asked Li Gu on the phone.

"It can still be scraped together, but Lanshan's funds are tight, and if you make up 100 million yuan for the construction of Lanjiang Expressway, Lanshan will delay a lot of other work," Li Gu said with a smile on the phone, "Lao Pang has been 'notorious' for apportioning within the Lanshan party and government system in order to raise construction funds." 100 million, he has to borrow a month's salary from the administrative, career and faculty members of Lanshan City to make up for it, and he is afraid that the people below will rebel against him. ”

Pang Yunsong was "notorious" for collecting funds through apportionment after he arrived in Lanshan, and during the years he was mayor, all administrative and business personnel in Lanshan City, as well as primary and secondary school teachers, could only receive 10 months' salaries every year.

Lanshan City's finances are too weak, and the channels for external financing are also very narrow, and after the local banking institutions in Lanshan City are drained, they can only make a fuss about the salaries of the financial support personnel if they want to build bridges and build infrastructure.

The salaries of the administrative staff and faculty members in Lanshan were already low, and they were repeatedly forcibly apportioned, and they also complained bitterly, and the province also repeatedly criticized them for this matter.

In fact, the initial investment of one billion yuan in the construction of Lanjiang Expressway is not worse than Lanshan's 100 million, but the follow-up construction funds of nearly 3 billion yuan will mainly rely on bank loans, and pulling Lanshan into it will help to strive for loan resources in the future.

The Lanjiang Expressway project itself has a very poor income, even if the establishment of a joint venture has the right to operate for 25 years, it is difficult to predict whether the final capital can be guaranteed, Shen Huai vigorously promoted the project, mainly to value the completion of the Lanjiang Expressway, the promotion of local economic development and other comprehensive benefits, far higher than the project itself.

This project, which has high comprehensive social benefits and poor operating efficiency, can only be invested by local governments and purely state-owned enterprises - after the completion of the Lanjiang Expressway, Lanshan City will benefit a lot, and everyone naturally hopes that Lanshan will take a share of the responsibility.

Lanshan's eagerness to build a highway can be understood, so Pang Yunsong's chest was slapping loudly at the meeting, for fear that if he hesitated a little, things would drag on again, but Pang Yunsong was able to put down the shelf after the meeting and wanted to ask him to eat through Li Gu, it seemed that it was difficult for Lanshan to come up with this money.

"I have made an appointment with someone for dinner tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Secretary Pang's appointment," Shen Huai thought for a while and said, "The problem of Lanshan City's funding is not without a solution." Lanshan City can contact CNOOC to see if CNOOC is interested in investing. ”

"How could CNOOC be interested in participating in the construction of expressways?" Li Gu was quite puzzled, CNOOC failed to successfully list in Hong Kong in 97 years to raise funds, and now even the funds for the expansion of its main business are extremely tight, so it will not be willing to enter other infrastructure fields at this time, not to mention that the Lanjiang Expressway project itself may have limited benefits.

"If you tie up the gas stations along the Lanjiang Expressway to CNOOC, do you think they are interested in getting involved?" asked Shen Huai.

Li Gu didn't expect that Shen Huai would have this idea.

Eight gas stations and service areas will be built along the Lanjiang Expressway, which may not be nothing, but the key Lanjiang Expressway is a part of the coastal expressway artery in the future, and CNOOC will take a stake in the construction of the Lanjiang Expressway and win the franchise of eight gas stations along the line, which will be of great benefit to CNOOC's future oil sales network.

"If that's the case, Lanjiang Expressway just asked CNOOC to contribute 100 million yuan, isn't it too little?" Li Gu asked.

"I don't interfere in this matter, how to talk about it depends on Lanshan City. Shen Huai said.

"Why didn't you take the initiative to contact CNOOC?" asked Li Gu curiously.

"At the beginning, Xinpu Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. was built, and CNOOC was brought in to cooperate. The Petrochemical Corporation and the Petroleum Corporation have a lot of opinions on our side, and I am now learning to keep a low profile. Shen Huai said.

Li Gu laughed on the other end of the phone, and said: "Okay, since Lanshan can't even take out 100 million, this wicked person naturally has to be done by Lao Pang, maybe he can build the two projects of CNOOC Dora to Lanshan." Okay, go to your dinner, but do you have time to meet in the evening?"

"Okay, you deal with Secretary Pang and them over there, and we'll call again. Shen Huai said.

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

Shen Huai drove to the Provincial People's Bank, and Cheng Yi was already looking at the Prime Minister in front of the Provincial People's Bank Building.

Cheng Yi was wearing a simple plain long skirt, standing on the steps with her long hair, her long hair was casually clamped with an amber hairpin, her white and tender face looked unusually soft under the sunset, and when she saw Shen Huai driving over, she waved her hand excitedly.

"How about we eat Western food today?" asked Shen Huai.

"......" Cheng Yi reached over and touched Shen Huai's forehead, and asked in surprise, "There's nothing wrong with it, why did you suddenly remember to eat Western food?"

In other words, someone else has been born abroad for many years, and he will not be too reluctant to eat Western food, but Shen Huai has never liked Western food, Cheng Yi still feels strange about this, and it is a little strange to see him take the initiative to eat Western food today.

"I thought you would be very excited," Shen Huai saw that Cheng Yi was not only not excited, but also suspected that there was something wrong with him today, and said with a defeated look, "I still want to take you to Kidji to see your face again?"

"I knew you weren't at ease," Cheng Yi laughed and asked, "What, there's something else going on at night?"

"Li Gu made an appointment to meet in the evening to talk about things, but he couldn't get out for a while," Shen Huai took out two movie tickets from the dashboard and said, "The movie starts at seven o'clock, the time is a little tight, we can only go to KFC for dinner......"

Cheng Yi saw Shen Huai take out two tickets for the "Notting Hill" movie starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, and said excitedly: "I thought you didn't have time, I made an appointment with my colleagues to watch it on Saturday; ”

Although it is not a weekend, Xinshi Street is still crowded.

The urban area has a population of three to four million, and the core business district is less than two square kilometers, so it is naturally crowded with people in normal times; and there are few movie theaters in Xinshi Street, and there are many European and American films introduced for public screening, and the theaters are crowded inside and outside.

Fortunately, Shen Huai expected this situation, and asked people to buy movie tickets in advance when they held a meeting at the provincial guest house in the afternoon, but they only found a seat after a long queue in the KFC store and shared a table with a college student couple.

Towards the end of the movie, Li Gu texted over and asked where Shen Huairen was.

Shen Huai thought that it was still early, so he asked Li Gu to meet at the café next to the movie theater, and he and Cheng Yi walked over from the movie theater first, ordered coffee and drank it first.

"You didn't have a coordination meeting together in the afternoon, you can't talk about something in the afternoon, what is Li Gu talking to you alone in the evening?" asked Cheng Yi.

"Maybe Xu Pei had something to say that it was inconvenient to talk to me directly, so Li Gu asked me to meet alone, right?" Shen Huai guessed.

"Talking about your transfer?" Cheng Yi asked uncertainly.

"It should be," Shen Huai said, "The conditions are ripe in all aspects, Xu Pei is still close to his governor's throne, and he doesn't want to make any extraneous branches, so it's time to sit down and share some benefits with us first." Xu Pei couldn't wipe his face, and he couldn't be sure how big our appetite was, so it was most appropriate for Li Gu to talk to me. I actually thought, if I can be transferred to the province for three or five years this time, and I don't do any work, it would be good. Why don't we give birth to a baby?"

"Let's wait until you really sit on the cold bench, I don't have time to talk to you now. Cheng Yi pursed her rosy lips and said to Shen Huai playfully.

The situation has always been changing rapidly, before the regional cooperation was released, many people speculated that Shen Huai might be transferred to the province in the form of bright rise and dark descent this time, and now it is difficult for Shen Huai to be idle even if he is transferred from Donghua.

Shen Huai wanted Chen Bing to take over the post of secretary of the Xiapu County Party Committee, and at the same time, Chen Bing's qualifications could also enter the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, so whether it was the subsequent development of Xinpu or the coordination of all aspects of the relationship in Donghua City, Chen Bing was competent.

Shen Huai could not be promoted to preside over the work of the Donghua Municipal Government in a short period of time, so there was no need to stay in Donghua and overlap with Chen Bing.

It's just that after being transferred out of Donghua, what to do, and Shen Huai can't completely decide by himself.

Cheng Yi and Shen Huai are both casual and independent people, but when they have children, the issues to consider will be very different.

Even if Shen Huai is transferred to work in the province, others can't be idle, Cheng Yi also has a career to fight for that is not too stable, and it is not the time to have a child.

Cheng Yi still wants to wait for two or three years, her career is more stable, she has more personal time, and it is better to have children.

Shen Huai touched his nose and smiled, Cheng Yi was only twenty-seven years old, she had studied abroad for many years, and she wanted to have her own career when she returned to China, and Shen Huai didn't want her to be tied to her family so early.

"Ah, Sister Cheng Yi......"

Shen Huai was talking to Cheng Yi, heard someone shouting, looked up and saw Xie Zhi and Xie Tang standing at the door as if they had just walked in, Xie Tang beckoned to this side, and Xie Zhi saw that they were in the café as if they were going to pull Xie Tang away.

Xie Tang pulled Xie Zhi over and said, "I saw the two of you in the cinema just now, but it was far away, so I didn't hear it." We were going to ask Wei Yue to drive to pick us up, but Wei Yue temporarily called your dad out to run errands, so we went to the café to wait, but I didn't expect to meet the two of you again......"

Seeing Xie Tang's cordial appearance, Cheng Yi didn't want to turn people away, but Shen Huai was waiting to talk to Li Gu, obviously he couldn't ask Xie Zhi to listen to it, so he stood up and said, "Shen Huai has made an appointment to meet here later, and I'm about to leave, why don't you drive you back?"
