Chapter 1763: Chundong's Opposition

Zhou Kunlin said: "Chundong New District, Compared with the airport plan, the location of the joint plan is closer to the main urban area, only ten kilometers away from the core area of the Chunjiang Financial Center, and the Jiangwan District is on the other side, and the construction of a new transportation network may be easier than the airport plan, as for the planning adjustment, as well as the supporting construction around the World Expo, it must not be said that it is a duplicate construction, in fact, the planning of the city and the Chundong New District, in addition to the central axis of the Chunjiang Financial Center and the airport, there is also the Binjiang Development Zone along the Chunjiang River, which is the two wings of the Chunjiang Financial CenterTherefore, I think that the significance of the joint plan to Chundong New Area and even Pujiang City is no less than that of the airport plan, and the comprehensiveness of this plan, especially in showing the past, present and future of Pujiang, is more significant, and it is easier to succeed in the bid."

Zhang Zehu shook his head when he heard this: "The airport plan is more mature, and it is more able to show the development results of Pujiang, there are still two months before we officially submit the bid, and now overturning the previous plan means that our preparations have been done in vain." It is basically impossible to make a complete plan that can convince the judges in two months' time, and if the bid for the World Expo fails because of the temporary change of plan, then how can we explain to the central government, to the people of Pujiang, and to those who have worked hard for Pujiang City to bid for the World Expo?"

Everyone was silent for a while, the bid for the World Expo itself was relatively intense, and the history of Huaxia participating in such a world-class large-scale cultural and sports event was only about 20 years, and there was no chance to hold it. At the time of bidding, the judges were all foreigners, and most of them were judges from developed countries in Europe and the United States, and in fact, the jury was mostly controlled by developed countries, and on the one hand, they would be more inclined to their own country or the country on the continent they represented, and on the other hand, they did not trust China and its cities that had never held similar activities. This has led to the difficulty of Huaxia to bid for this type of large-scale international event. When Kyoto applied for the 2000 Olympic Games, it can be said that the whole country was in a good situation, and everyone was full of confidence, but in the end it was a pity to lose to Sydney, Australia. A few years ago, Kyoto once again submitted a bid to host the Olympic Games, and at the beginning of the year, Kyoto officially submitted a bid to the Olympic Committee to host the 200th Olympic Games.

In contrast, Pujiang City's bid for the World Expo is more difficult, Kyoto's bid for the Olympic Games, after all, has had the experience of a bid, and at that time it was also a two-vote difference, this time the bid was also supported by many Olympic Committee members, including IOC President Samaranch, so everyone thinks that Kyoto's bid is more likely to succeed this time. It is the first time for Pujiang City to bid for such a large-scale event, and Pujiang's international political influence is not as good as that of Kyoto, so it is not very certain whether the bid for the World Expo will succeed or not.

According to the original plan, Pujiang City will officially submit the application form and application plan for the 200 World Expo at the second plenary meeting of the Bureau of International Expositions at the end of this year. Before that, Pujiang City will submit a bid plan to the Bureau of International Exhibitions, that is, Zhang Zehu mentioned, to submit the bid plan in two months, although this plan is not the final plan, but it must also be approved by the Exhibition Bureau, in order to pass the primary selection, Pujiang City can be shortlisted for the final list of candidate cities, so this bid plan is very important, if this plan is not convincing, Pujiang City is likely not to even be shortlisted. Once shortlisted, Pujiang City must refine the framework of the preliminary plan and submit a formal plan, which can be changed compared to the preliminary plan, but the general framework must not be changed at will, let alone overturned.

That is to say, if Pujiang City passes the primary selection with the preliminary plan submitted and is shortlisted for the list of candidate cities, then the final plan must also be in the same vein as this plan.

Pujiang City wants to bid for the World Expo, and there is already a lot of uncertainty. The original airport plan is also weighed all aspects of the factors, made a comprehensive balance after the finalization, after continuous adjustment and optimization, has been relatively perfect, now to change the plan, equivalent to the previous work has to be reversed, and within two months, can you finally come up with a complete bid plan, compared to the airport plan that has come up with a complete plan, no one can pack the ticket. If the plan is not perfect due to the temporary change of the plan, and even the primary election is not passed in the end, it will definitely be a very big blow to Pujiang City.

"There is a certain amount of uncertainty in bidding for the World Expo!"

Zhou Kunlin said: "In contrast, the joint plan is more distinctive, and the bid theme proposed by it: urban change and life, is also very distinctive, and I think it is more competitive than the bid theme of the airport plan."

Chundong New District is a national-level new area, the development of Chundong New Area has even been raised to the national strategic level, the new area is also a sub-provincial structure, the head of the district party committee, the head of the district is a deputy provincial official, the No. 1 Zhang Zehu is not only a member of the Standing Committee of the Pujiang Municipal Party Committee, but also the deputy secretary of the Pujiang Municipal Party Committee, and the ranking of the municipal party committee is still in front of Zhou Kunlin, the executive vice mayor.

Although Pujiang City is the main body that proposed to bid for the World Expo, Chundong New District has no less say in it than the city, not to mention that Zhang Zehu himself is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

Therefore, in the co-organization plan, Bao Feiyang has always put Chundong New Area in the main position of the co-organized World Expo, and has given priority to Chundong New Area.

However, in Zhang Zehu's view, this is still not enough.

If the airport plan is adopted and planned around this plan, the transportation, infrastructure construction, and even industrial development and urban construction of the entire Pujiang City in the next ten years will be carried out on the central axis of Chunjiang Financial District and Chundong International Airport, and most of the benefits of hosting the World Expo will fall on Chundong New District.

If the joint plan is adopted, although it is still mainly based on Chundong New District, it can also radiate the surrounding Huixun District and Jiangwan District, and a large part of the transportation construction, urban development and industrial layout will also fall in Huixun District, Jiangwan District and the surrounding areas, and there will be fewer in Chundong New District.

Deputy Secretary Tao Ran and others are also more inclined to continue to use the original plan, rather than temporary change of plan, after all, there are only two months before the submission of the bid, compared to the airport plan site is a piece of farmland, it is easier to move and develop, and there are still many uncertainties in the site of the joint plan.

However, including Mayor Yang Chenglin, Executive Vice Mayor Zhou Kunlin, and Senior Legal and Political Official Jian Lin, they believe that the new plan has more advantages.

In the end, the Standing Committee did not finalize which plan to adopt, and Tang Xingbang, the head of the municipal party committee, asked Executive Vice Mayor Zhou Kunlin to take the lead in conducting a more in-depth demonstration of the joint plan, and then discuss it a week later.

Before the Standing Committee made this decision, Xiong Bihong, Bao Feiyang and other non-voting personnel had already left the conference room, and although there were still a lot of things in the district, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back, and they took this opportunity to contact officials of several functional departments while waiting for the Standing Committee's decision.

After the end of the Standing Committee, Zhou Kunlin asked the secretary to come over and call them to the office: "The Chundong New District is not very interested in the joint plan, you still have to communicate more with Secretary Zhang." ”

Xiong Bihong and Bao Feiyang glanced at each other, Zhang Zehu had also reported before, Bao Feiyang went to Chundong New District to find Zhang Zehu twice, but he was not received by Zhang Zehu, even if Bao Feiyang is the head of Huixun District, but Zhang Zehu, as the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and a senior official of Chundong New District, has a much higher level and status, and it is not something that Bao Feiyang can see if he wants to. However, Xiong Bihong took the opportunity of the meeting to communicate with Zhang Zehu, and Zhang Zehu just dropped a sentence at that time: "You first persuade Pugang and Jiangwan District to speak"

No one thought that the result of Zhang Zehu's "say it again" was to disagree!

"Chundong New Area hopes to use the World Expo as an opportunity to quickly build the central axis of Chunjiang Financial District and Airport Business District, and if the plan is changed, it will inevitably affect the established planning of Chundong New Area, so they are reluctant to change!" Zhou Kunlin said.

"For the city, building this central axis, compared with the development of the Chunjiang Economic Belt, is actually more important to develop Chundong, if it is not for the new plan is more distinctive, the hope of success is greater, the city may not consider changing this plan!"

Bao Feiyang nodded: "Chundong New Area is the strategic focus of Pujiang City's development, and the construction of Chundong Central Axis is also very important to the entire Pujiang City. However, "

Bao Feiyang pondered for a while and said: "As the largest city in China, Pujiang City is expected to develop into a super metropolis like Tokyo and New York in the future. Although it seems that we have invested all our resources in Chundong New Area, and we cannot allow Chundong New Area to develop within three to five years, if we look at it in ten or twenty years, Chundong will be as crowded as it is now."

Bao Feiyang said: "The development of Chundong New Area is not actually a world expo, and Chundong does not have a large amount of land for large-scale tourism projects, and Chundong's advantages lie in the financial and high-tech industries."
