When the train arrived at Shimen at dawn, it was not yet fully dawn, and there was a thin mist flowing on the platform.

Walking out of the warm carriage, the cold wind blew, making Cheng Yi, who had not fully woken up, shiver, grabbed the cardigan jacket woven by mohair with both hands, looked at the old platform, and was a little surprised: "This is Shimen?"

Xucheng's urban construction development is already very poor in the eastern coastal areas, but Shimen is even worse than Xucheng, and it does not have the grandeur of the provincial capital city that Cheng Yi imagined, looking at Cheng Yi's slightly disappointed face, Shen Huai stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Well, this is Shimen, it should be an important place in Gyeonggi according to reason, but it is a city that is ignored by the public......

In terms of economic aggregate, Hebei Province is a cut above Huaihai, but the large-scale industries in Hebei Province are mainly concentrated in the northern Hebei region, and the hinterland along the Bohai Bay in the central part has been hollowed out by the two municipalities directly under the central government, Yanjing and Jinhai, making the economic development of the central and southern regions of Hebei Province much lagging behind.

Even the development of Shimen City, the provincial capital, is very average, and there can only be a medium-sized city in the country at present, and it does not have the grandeur of the coastal provincial capital city that ordinary people imagine.

Although many people have high hopes for Cheng Yi and her father to revitalize the economy of southern Hebei, Shen Huai stood on the platform of Shimen City, looked around the lonely early morning scene around the platform, and secretly felt that there was really a long way to go to revitalize the economy of southern Hebei.

But when it comes to revitalization, it also depends on what the standard is.

The history of Shimen City is not long, the hinterland of the North China Plain is geographical, because the Beijing-Guangzhou, Shitai and other railways intersect in the territory, and it is prosperous as a land transportation hub in the Shanxi-Hebei region. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shimen had a great industrial development, but in recent years, because the local state-owned enterprises as a whole have fallen into difficulties, it has pulled down a big cut in the economic development of the southern provincial capitals.

It is hoped that the economic development of Shimen City can surpass that of Jiangning, Zhenhai and other cities, but there are inherent deficiencies in many conditions.

However, Cheng Yi's father went to Hebei Province to serve as the governor, and his vision will not be limited to the provincial capital Shimen, and while he adjusts the adjustment of the industrial structure in northern Hebei, he promotes the rapid economic development of southern Hebei, even if it is successful.

At this time, seeing Chen Yongjun, who was trusted by Cheng Yi and his father, walking over to this side accompanied by two staff members, Shen Huai and Cheng Yi came over and said, "Why is Secretary General Chen, you come to pick it up in person? I just took a taxi with Cheng Yi." ”

Chen Yongjun said with a smile: "Shimen here, I am still familiar with it, and the driver may not be able to touch the road; in addition, the taxi driver at the railway station is not authentic, and he will take you around a far place, and there is nowhere to shout grievances......

Shen Huai also smiled, if he and Cheng Yi slaughtered the taxi drivers waiting for passengers at the train station, it seemed that they would make too much of a fuss about the name of the governor.

The two staff members who accompanied Chen Yongjun were both about 30 years old, one called himself "Xiao Han" and the other called himself "Xiao Feng", and enthusiastically took the suitcase in Shen Huai's hand.

Chen Yongjun saw that no one else came down from the carriage, and asked strangely: "What, just the two of you, aren't there many people who come together?"

"They, they changed trains halfway and went directly to Qinghe," Shen Huai said, "I will accompany Cheng Yi to Shimen, and if there is a car in the afternoon, I will also go to Qinghe." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, stay in Shimen ......for two more days," Chen Yongjun said with a smile, and asked Shen Huai and Cheng Yi to walk outside the platform with him.

Shen Huai and Cheng Yi came to Shimen together, nominally to visit relatives, but in fact, it was mainly a tacit understanding formed with the Ji family before, and now they have to do some practical work.

The formal cooperation between local governments is mainly to promote the formation of a friendship port between Jihe Port and Xinpu Port Association, and strengthen cooperation in economic, trade and industrial development. This time, Zhao Tianming and Dai Quan led the team to hold an exchange meeting with Jihe County on port construction and port industry development.

The exchange meeting will be held for a few days, and Shen Huai and Ji Chengxi can show up when the time comes, and there is no need to participate in the whole exchange activity, so he and Cheng Yi came to visit Cheng Yi and her parents first.

Even if Meigang wants to be more involved in the development of southern Hebei and Qinghe in the future, first of all, we must respect the opinions of Cheng Yi's father.

The scale of Shimen City is not large, and there are no cars on the street at dawn, and it takes seven or eight minutes to drive from the railway station to the provincial party committee compound - there are martial arts on duty at the gate of the provincial party committee compound, meticulously checking the identities of Shen Huai and Cheng Yi, and there is no sound in the compound.

The mist drifted above the treetops, most people were still sleeping, occasionally saw a few houses with lights on, and the ordinary houses seen through the fence wall were not surprising or luxurious, so that ordinary people could not imagine that these seemingly ordinary residents in the compound were actually the spires of the pyramid of power in Hebei Province.

Cheng Yi and her father only came to Shimen in the past two days, and they had just handed over their positions, and everything had not yet settled down.

The courtyard gate is narrow, the car can't go out, parked on the side of the road outside the flower garden, Chen Yongjun pushed open the iron door in front, Shen Huai and Cheng Yi walked into the courtyard, probably Cheng Wenguang heard the movement, pushed open the door of the study and walked to the eaves of the porch, and said with a smile: "The train is not late." We came from Yanjing, and in order to experience it, we took the train, which was an hour late......"

"It's okay that the trains going north are not dense during this time, and the lines are not tight. Shen Huai said.

"Where's Mom?" Cheng Yi just opened her mouth to ask her father, when she heard her mother Liu Xuemei respond inside, "I'm helping you make breakfast," she wiped her hands with the scarf tied around her waist, walked out, and asked, "Do you want to sleep well on the train, do you want to have breakfast and make up for sleep at home in the morning?"

"I didn't sleep well, and if I didn't have anything to do, I would have gone to bed in the morning. Cheng Yi said that she rarely took the train, didn't sleep well last night, and now yawns.

"What about Shen Huai, how do you sleep at night?" Liu Xuemei now regarded Shen Huai as a son-in-law, and she was a concern.

"He slept like a dead pig, and I just watched him sleep more soundly, the more he couldn't sleep...... Cheng Yi said.

Liu Xuemei slapped Cheng Yi to prevent her from talking nonsense, and said, "People sleep soundly, and they still hinder you from sleeping?"

"I'm already fine, and I didn't pull him up to talk to me. Cheng Yi was in front of her mother, and she was still following the coquettish little girl, pushing her back and going into the house to help make breakfast.

Even after retirement, leading cadres of Cheng Wenguang's level will enjoy the same living and political benefits. It's just that Cheng Wenguang's transfer this time was relatively abrupt, and something happened to the nanny who was used to at home, and he couldn't follow him at the same time.

Cheng Wenguang and Liu Xuemei didn't want to use the people recommended by the Ji Provincial Government Office to enter their family's life, so they had to ask Liu Xuemei to live in person during this time. There is no hard work to talk about, Liu Xuemei's work transfer is lagging behind, and she is idle.

When Cheng Wenguang first came to Ji Province, he would be busy for a while, even if Shen Huai came over, he would not have much time to talk to him, Cheng Yi and her mother went to breakfast, and Cheng Wenguang asked Shen Huai to talk to him directly in the study.

When he went to the study and sat down, Shen Huai told Cheng Wenguang about the changes in the situation that had occurred in Donghua during this time, especially the fact that Guo Chengze had been angry with Chen Baoqi at the beginning of his departure from Donghua.

Cheng Wenguang nodded, he didn't know Guo Chengze or Meng Jiansheng, but he could know that Guo Chengze embodied Xu Pei's will, he was still familiar with Xu Pei, and said to Shen Huai to know:

"When Xu Pei was in Jinhai, his work style was very tough, and he was very popular with Premier Wang Yuan. Xu Pei was able to go to Huaihai Province, and Wang Yuan also asked Tian Jiageng to take Xu Pei over as an assistant. Wang Yuan's general ideal is to promote the development of the central and western regions, as if he wants to transfer Tian Jiageng to eastern Sichuan as a secretary, but he has no intention of arranging anyone to go to Huaihai, and Xu Pei may be reused......"

Shen Huai still knew that Tian Jiageng would go to Secretary Chuandong, and said: "Then Secretary Tian Jiageng has no way to enter the Politburo this time?"

"There's no way, there are only a few seats, and there are too many people fighting. Although most of the cadres promoted by Premier Wang Yuan occupy prominent positions in Ji Jingkou, they still have to suppress others when it comes to seniority. Cheng Wenguang said.

Shen Huai can have more in-depth contact with high-level people in the party, but when it comes to the temperament of a politician and the ability to govern the government, he hopes that Tian Jiageng can enter the Politburo and jointly grasp the direction of China's future development - thinking that Wang Yuan will reuse Xu Pei in Huaihai next, although it does not mean that Zhao Qiuhua, who has former Premier Hu Zhicheng as his back, will sit still, but a vicious fight between Xu Pei and Zhao Qiuhua is indispensable, which is conducive to Mei Gang's presence in Donghua, In Huaihai Province, the biggest variable now is that there has been no news of the candidate to succeed Tian Jiageng as secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee.

"When it comes to replacing Tian Jiageng to Huaihai as a secretary, there are two or three lists circulating, and there are still great variables," Cheng Wenguang said, "In the future, the environment in Huaihai will also be conducive to the further development of Meigang and Huaineng Group......

Shen Huai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm willing to talk to Ye Xuanfeng, but Ye Xuanfeng has been anxious to win over Sun Qiyi these days." When Sun Qiyi was in Xucheng, he was in a hurry to let Xie Haicheng run over overnight as a lobbyist, Sun Qiyi hurried back to Hong Kong, and when he didn't have time to meet, he hurried to Hong Kong on a business trip. The two of them finally met in Hong Kong, and I was kept in the dark. Ye Xuanfeng's intentions are not clear, but I guess he wants Evergreen Group to take over the construction of the Jihe Coal Terminal......"

"The first day I went to Jihe, Ji Chengxi also came to Shihe, I talked to him, and he was more inclined to Meigang to take over the construction of the coal conveying terminal in Jihe. It's really not good, let Ji Chengxi come forward to do Ye's work. Cheng Wenguang said.

The 4 million ton coal terminal in the Ji River is a cooperation project negotiated three years ago, mainly invested and built by Huaineng Group.

At the end of last year, the Song system internally determined the development strategy of Huai Coal to the east, and under the Huaineng Group, the Huai Neng Coal Industry was established to enter Huaixi to develop coal resources, and in the future, it will supply coal supply to the power plant groups in the middle and lower reaches of the Zhujiang River and the Huaihai Bay area, and the power to build a coal conveying terminal in the Jihe River will be lost all of a sudden.

Huaineng Group will not count on the supply of thermal coal resources on this side of the Jihe River in the future, and after the establishment of the Huaineng Coal Industry, the internal development funds have also become tight, and the construction speed of the coal conveying terminal in the Jihe River has immediately slowed down, and it is only less than half of the construction now.

Shen Huai thought that Meigang would continue to invest funds in the construction of the Jihe Port Coal Terminal, which could be regarded as the actual support for Cheng Wenguang's work in Hebei Province and maintain a tacit understanding of economic and trade cooperation with the Ji family.

Shen Huai never thought that Ye Xuanfeng neither wanted to build a coal wharf nor let Meigang take over, but he needed to explain to the Song family or the Ji family, so he wanted to find Sun Qiyi to persuade the senior management of the Evergreen Group to expand the port investment business in the mainland.

The senior management of the Evergreen Group really wanted to be convinced, and finally decided to expand the port investment business in the mainland and take over the construction of the coal terminal of Jihe Port from the hands of the Huaineng Group.

Some emotions Shen Huai unintentionally revealed, he came to Hebei Province this time, is to give help, not to look for help, spread his hands and said: "I don't care, and I have no intention of bypassing Sun Qiyi, to do the work of the high-level of the Evergreen Group - the matter of the coal conveying terminal can not be decided this time, but in Qinghe first determine the steel logistics park project, the investment is not large, and the appearance of tens of millions of dollars is stimulated, and it is also conducive to Meigang's products to enter the market in southern Hebei after completion......"
