Cui Yongping and Ji Yanxin are both high-powered young Zhuang factions, and they are older than Shen Huai in terms of seniority.

Even in terms of Haiphong Highway and participation in the construction of Xinpu Port Project, Ji Yanxin asked for this, and Shen Huai did not expect Cui and Ji to wipe their faces and entertain him.

Seeing that things were about the same, Shen Huai said goodbye and left, and then called Wang Weicheng and asked him to sort out two detailed materials about the Haiphong Highway and Xinpu Port, and send them to Cui Yongping and Ji Yanxin respectively.

Shen Huai took the train back to Xucheng at nine o'clock at night, Chen Bing asked the staff of the Beijing Office to book a train ticket for him, and when he saw the train number calling him, he remembered the conductor named Chen Meihong, and I don't know if she is still working on this train.

Before getting on the train, he had to return the scarf that Cheng Yi had borrowed him, and after Shen Huai drove to meet Song Hongjun, he rushed to the family compound of the municipal party committee and took Cheng Yi out for dinner.

Before getting into the car, Shen Huai handed Cheng Yi a new scarf that he bought at the mall, and said: "Yesterday I pulled Gu Ziqiang and them out to eat hot pot, and they were all hot pot and smoke smells, and the scarf you borrowed from me was also ruined;

Cheng Yi took the scarf around her neck, magenta with the light coffee-colored coat she was wearing, and lined her delicate skin, and said, "Good vision, have you found any girl to help you be a staff officer?"

"I know more ways to please girls than you think, who else do you need to be a staff officer?" Shen Huai said with a smile.

The mobile phone rang, and it was Ji Chengxi who called, Shen Huai covered the microphone and asked Cheng Yi: "Ji Chengxi wants to invite us to dinner, what should I do?" I still want to send Hongjun away, the two of us are better than the two of us." ”

Cheng Yi's nose wrinkled slightly, showing disdain, Song Hongjun picked up the cigarette box from the dashboard and threw it at Shen Huai, saying, "I'll have to drive you to the train later, I can't even get a meal, where is your conscience?"

"Then I'll call Tan Jun, otherwise I'll be a girl eating with you, and I'll definitely be bored to death." Cheng Yi picked up her mobile phone and wanted to call Tan Jun.

"Listening to the voice, Ji Chengxi seems to be in Xiao Wu's father's bookstore, let's just drive over and get ......," Shen Huai said.

When Cui Yongping's house met Ji Yanxin, Shen Huai told Song Hongjun in the car that Ji Chengxi should also ask him to meet after receiving Ji Yanxin's call, even if they will talk about the Xudong Railway after meeting, there should not be too much embarrassment between them.

Song Hongjun also spoke highly of Ji Yanxin, at this time, seeing Ji Chengxi taking the initiative to make an appointment for dinner, he knew that at least the uncle and nephew of the Ji family would not have a grudge against this side because of the Song family's plan to go out of Huai Coal East, and they were naturally willing to meet Ji Chengxi, and if there was an opportunity to cooperate in the future, they would naturally be willing to continue to cooperate.

There is a private restaurant with a very good reputation in the corner of Xisi Lane, Ji Chengxi originally planned to invite his brother-in-law Tan Shiwei and Tan Jun to dinner, but temporarily received a call from his uncle Ji Yanxin, only to know that his uncle Ji Yanxin had met with Shen Huai, and also talked about the Xudong Railway, so he temporarily asked Shen Huai to meet.

After Shen Huai came over with Song Hongjun and Cheng Yi, he didn't choose another place to eat. Tan Shiwei didn't even publish articles after he retired, and his interactions with juniors were more casual, not as restrained as Ji Yanxin and Cui Yongping.

After Shen Huai got off the train, he greeted Ji Chengxi and Tan Shiwei: "I have to catch the train back to Xucheng at nine o'clock, there is no way to drink with Teacher Tan and Brother Ji today......"

Tan Jun asked Cheng Yi: "Today, your mother came to our compound and said that you will work in Xucheng, and you will leave in these two days, you won't leave today, right?"

Shen Huai scratched his forehead, he didn't expect Cheng Yi's mother to be quite tricky, and wanted to form an overwhelming public opinion advantage in the periphery before forcing Cheng Yi to comply, glanced at Cheng Yi, I don't know how she wants to solve it with Tan Jun, she actually has no intention of going to work in Xucheng.

Cheng Yi glanced at Shen Huai and said to Tan Jun: "I have to play for two more days, and then go to the People's Bank to report......"

Tan Shiwei and Ji Chengxi both laughed and asked Shen Huai: "Do you have a plan to get married when you will get married?"

"Oh, I went to work in Xucheng, and it has nothing to do with Shen Huai's muddy ball," Cheng Yi couldn't immediately clear up the relationship with Shen Huai, and explained smartly, "I didn't think about marrying myself off so anxiously." Besides, if I really want to get married, I won't look for a ...... like Shen Huai."

"As if you are wronged, tell me what's wrong with me?" Shen Huai said.

Ji Chengxi and Tan Shiwei both laughed, just when the relationship between Shen Huai and Cheng Yi had been determined, Cheng Yi was embarrassed to admit it.

Ji Chengxi, Tan Shiwei and Song Hongjun walked into the box first, Shen Huai deliberately fell behind, and asked Cheng Yi: "Didn't you say that you didn't want to go to Xucheng, why did you change your mind again?"

"I thought about what you said, and it still makes sense. Unless one day I find the right person and come back with a marriage certificate to scare my mother out of a heart attack, before that, in order to prevent my mother from forcing me out of a heart attack, I have to borrow you as a cheap boyfriend for another two years," Cheng Yi lowered her eyebrows and said, "But now I tell you, no matter whether I find the right person in two years or not, I will break up with you, don't think about anything." ”

"Cheap boyfriend?" Shen Huai frowned and said, "Why is this word awkward?"

Cheng Yi sneered and ignored Shen Huai.

"You still have to continue acting, I heard your mother say that in the afternoon, I thought you really did a fake show?" Tan Jun leaned over and asked.

Cheng Yi does not have many confidants who can speak in Yanjing, and the relationship between her and Shen Huai is not hidden from Tan Jun, and sometimes Tan Jun has to cooperate to deceive her family.

Shut down

"Do you really do a fake show with him? Then you can't kill him cheaply," Cheng Yi glanced at Shen Huai, and asked Tan Jun again, "Are you willing to do a fake show with this muddy ball?"

Tan Jun tilted his head and looked at Shen Huai for a while, then shook his head seriously and said: "Shen Huai seems to have grown crooked in the past two years, and he doesn't look as pleasing to the eye as before, and his beard is stubble; ”

Ignoring Shen Huai's bared teeth, Tan Jun pulled Cheng Yi and hid in the box with a smile.

Ji Chengxi asked Shen Huai to meet for dinner, and naturally he would not care about the relationship between Shen Huai and Cheng Yi.

Shen Huai wanted to catch the train at nine o'clock, so he didn't go around in any circle, and directly pointed the topic to the Xudong Railway, and said: "I visited Minister Liu of the Ministry of Railways in the morning, and I was really shocked to know about the Xudong Railway, you don't say much, and the action is really not small......

"It's just an idea now, and it's mainly because I saw Vice Minister Liu take office and support the railway department and local governments to jointly invest in railway construction. However, in the end, the Ministry of Railways does not support the reconstruction of the Xudong railway line, and there is no accurate number of the extent of the province's support," Shen Huai said, "Again, even if the approval is obtained, the construction funds of the entire line of 10 billion yuan will not be able to be raised for a while." If the project can be started in three years and completed in seven years, thank God. ”

"Brother-in-law, do you say that Shen Huai is still using a delaying tactic against us?" Ji Chengxi asked Tan Shiwei with a smile.

Tan Shiwei smiled and said: "The industrial layout of Hebei Province has traditionally focused on the north and light on the south, and there are two municipalities directly under the central government of Beijing and Tianjin in the middle. This makes Jihe have a natural disadvantage in the development of port industry, and it is difficult to gather peripheral capital in the southern line project. In this regard, Xinpu is much superior to Jihe. Huaihai Province and Huaineng Group really have to make up their minds to do the reconstruction of the Xudong Railway, and finally complete it, which is not necessarily later than the southern line project of Shanxi Coal......"

Although Tan Shiwei has no longer published articles publicly since his retirement from Yan University, when it comes to his understanding of the domestic economic situation, he is absolutely super-first-class, and he can see the advantages and disadvantages of the Xudong Line and the Jinnan Line much more thoroughly than ordinary people.

Shen Huai didn't think he could really fool Ji Chengxi or Tan Shiwei, and he just habitually said it just now.

Of course, Ji Chengxi and Tan Shiwei can see through better, so that they can realize that although there will be a certain amount of competition between the Xudong Line and the Jinnan Line, this competition will not be vicious.

Even if there is competition, the direct competitors of the Jinnan Line are also the Daqin Line, which is located in the same Hebei Province and has a capacity of nearly 100 million tons, and the North China Railway Bureau, North China Electric Power, Qinhuanggang and other interest groups around the Daqin Line.

Even if the southern route project is completed, it is beneficial to the export of a large number of coal resources through the Jihe port, which is also conducive to the export of coal resources in the southern part of Jin Province, which has little to do with Hebei Province. Therefore, after Ji Chengxi took up his post in Jihe, he promoted the southern route project of Shanxi Coal to the east, and the internal resistance in Hebei Province was even greater than the driving force.

Donghua's industrial base may not be much better than that of Qinghe, but the conditions for development are much better.

In Huaihai Bay, Pingjiang City on the other side of the Zhujiang River can have a direct geographical competition with Donghua.

Pingjiang City belongs to Jiangdong Province, which is destined to Donghua in Huaihai Province to develop coastal industries have no direct competitors, at the same time, after the Xudong Railway upgrade, even if it is mainly used for the export of coal resources, the output is also the coal in the west of Huaihai Province, so in the upgrading of Xudong Railway, Huaihai Province has an absolutely strong driving force.

In addition, the prospect of railway and port industry development is also related to the enthusiasm of peripheral capital to participate in the construction of railway and port.

The direct purpose of the construction of the Jinnan Line is also to ensure that the coal resources in the southern part of Jinxi Province are exported through the Jihe Port, which is not much different from the Huaineng Group's promotion of the upgrading of the Xudong Line and the export of Huai coal through Xinpu Port.

The biggest difference lies in the enthusiasm of peripheral capital to participate in the construction of railways and ports, which also means that who can get more and faster construction funds between Jinnan Line and Xudong Line.

In terms of industrial development, Qinghe is not to mention competing with Beijing and Tianjin, which both belong to the Bohai Bay, and it is far from being able to compare the development conditions and foundation with the northern Hebei region. In addition to coal-fired power-related industries, the Jinnan Line has a natural disadvantage to develop other coastal industries, and it is difficult to gather more peripheral industrial capital.

At this time, the Jinnan Coal Industry and other entities controlled by the Ji Department had to undertake the construction of all links from coal development, railway and port construction to the layout of thermal power plants and even shipping. The construction funds used may be as high as 20 to 30 billion yuan, and they must be solved internally.

In comparison, the conditions of the Xudong Line are much more advantageous.

First of all, the local government of Huaihai Province will not give up its interests on the Xudong Line and will mobilize funds to participate in the construction of the Xudong Line as much as possible.

Secondly, at the end of the Xudong Line, Meigang, Huailian Heavy Industries, Fuji Steel, Baohe Group, Evergreen Group and Provincial Iron and Steel and other industrial entities in the coastal areas also have great motivation to participate in the construction and improvement of the Xudong Line and Xinpu ports in order to reduce their own production costs and facilitate the development of the hinterland market in Huaiyu, Shaanxi, Hubei and other provinces along the railway line.

As long as the possible resistance of the railway department can be overcome, Tan Shiwei judged that the Huai Coal East Project may eventually be completed before the Shanxi Coal East South Line Project, which is indeed a great possibility.

Of course, Ji Chengxi is willing to sit down and communicate when he sees it so thoroughly, and Shen Huai's previous worries can be regarded as completely falling.

Perhaps other people in the Ji system will have opinions on the Song system's efforts to make Huai Coal go east at this time, but what is there? We can't just because the Ji system is so powerful that the Song system will not be afraid to develop.

In the final analysis, on the Xinpu Steel Mill project, Shen Huai borrowed the momentum of Ji Chengxi and the Jinnan Line, and always felt that he owed a favor to others, so he was worried that Ji Chengxi would take the competition between the Xudong Line and the Jinnan Line too seriously, so that the two could only turn against each other in the future.

I didn't expect Ji Yanxin, Ji Chengxi and Tan Shiwei to be open-minded than I imagined. In comparison, Liu Jianguo, Song Hongyi and other Song children who are bent on making profits from Meigang's backdoor listing are much more dirty.

Next, we talked about some port construction.

At present, there are eight large ports with a coastal throughput of more than 100 million tons, but these eight large ports have a long history of development, stubborn interests, and have also formed a stable sphere of interest.

In comparison, Donghua Port, including Xinpu and Meixi, has a throughput of only 20 million tons this year, which can only be regarded as a small coastal port, but the development potential and prospects are undoubtedly huge.

At present, the total amount of national defense spending is low, and there are very few military and combat readiness projects that can be started in recent years, but the engineering construction department of the General Logistics Department, which Ji Yanxin and others are responsible for, can only participate in the construction of local or overseas projects if they want to maintain, temper, and strengthen the engineering contingent below.

The overall investment in the Jinnan Line in the next three to five years will not be less than 230 billion yuan, and the construction scale of the Xudong Line and Xinpu and other ports will only be greater than this.

Ji faced up to the competition and took the initiative to participate in the construction of the Xudong Line and Xinpu Port, which is undoubtedly much more active.

Shen Huai will not refuse, I believe that sister-in-law Song Wenhui, second uncle Song Qiaosheng, as well as Cheng, Dai, He and others will not refuse at this time.
