I have to say that Bao Feiyang's merger aroused Zhang Zehu's interest.

In 90 years, Huaxia decided to develop Chundong, and in 92 years, it was decided to set up Chundong New District, which originally belonged to Pujiang District, Punan District, and Chunshan District, which was located on the east side of Chunjiang River, as well as Chunhui Township of Huixun District, and abolished Wangsha County, and merged together to form Chundong New District, with an area of more than 500 square kilometers, exceeding the total area of the main urban area of Chunxi, and even about the total area of several districts except for suburban counties.

At that time, it seemed that such a large new area was already big enough, and even now, the development of Chundong New Area is in the ascendant, and there are still many blank places waiting to be built. However, although Chundong New Area is a key area supported and developed by Pujiang, it is impossible for Chundong to eat up all opportunities, after all, those districts in Chunxi have a better development foundation, and some industries will still give priority to investing there.

Even if it is several other suburban districts and counties, are also looking for their own development opportunities, also have their own advantages, when I heard that Huixun District has introduced several steel projects, to engage in tens of millions of tons of steel base, Zhang Zehu is also very interested, but Chundong has found such a large piece of suitable place, which makes Zhang Zehu very regretful.

In addition, the construction of Chundong Shipping Center, at the beginning of the establishment of Chundong New Area, is pinned on Gaoqiao Port, Gaoqiao Port has been developing very fast in recent years, but international shipping ships are becoming larger and larger, the cost advantage of large ships is becoming more and more obvious, and some bottlenecks that Gaoqiao Port will face in the future have also been revealed.

In contrast, the deep-water port plan proposed by Huixun District is indeed superior to Gaoqiao Port if the construction cost is put aside. After all, the current seaworthy channel of Gaoqiao Port is only ten meters deep, and large ships with a draft of more than ten meters can only enter the port to berth while the tide is blowing, which is undoubtedly very inconvenient.

The outlying island scheme, whether it is Daji Mountain or Xiaoyang Mountain, has a natural trench of more than 15 meters, which can allow large ships to berth around the clock.

Zhang Zehu once considered that if Chundong had similar conditions, then he would definitely be inclined to do it in one step and directly build a port with better conditions.

After the merger of Huixun District, the area of Chundong New Area can be directly doubled, reaching more than 1,000 square kilometers, with such a large hinterland, Chundong New Area will have more space for industrial development and planning.

It is undeniable that after the merger of Huixun District, the volume of Chundong New Area will become larger, although in the short term, it may not necessarily enhance the strength of Chundong New Area, but in the long run, it will increase the potential and growth space of Chundong New Area.

However, it is not easy to merge Huixun District into Chundong New District, and the merger of the two districts will form an administrative district with a vast area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, which will be a super urban area. There are too many aspects involved, even if Chundong New District, Huixun District, and the city all have this intention, there are many things to do to merge.

Zhang Zehu glanced up at Bao Feiyang, with a smile on his face: "Comrade Feiyang is right, as the local chief official, we should not only be limited to our own acres and three-points of land, but should look at the surrounding areas and the overall situation......

Zhang Zehu said: "Chundong New Area to build a world shipping center, the outlying island plan is also under consideration, if the two districts can be merged, work together to promote, it will naturally be more beneficial to this plan, if not merged, Chundong New Area needs the leading power of port construction and operation, what is the opinion of Huixun District?"

Bao Feiyang smiled, Zhang Zehu was really so domineering: "The development of Chundong New Area needs more space, and the construction of the shipping center is also the strategic focus of Pujiang City. ”

"The construction of the shipping center, the investment is huge, and it involves the coordination of the river and sea intermodal transport, the coordination of multiple port areas, and the construction of the Lingang New City, which requires Pujiang City, Chundong New District, and Huixun District to make efforts at all levels, and Huixun District must actively cooperate with this!"

Bao Feiyang didn't agree, but he also showed a positive attitude.

Zhang Zehu nodded slightly, this is normal, if Bao Feiyang is unprincipled, what he asks, Bao Feiyang will agree, he will not believe it. After all, Bao Feiyang, as the head of Huixun District, will not ignore the interests of Huixun District even if he has to focus on the overall situation.

"Well, the outlying island plan, I will communicate with the city, as for the World Expo riverside plan, ......"

Zhang Zehu glanced at Guo Liguo: "This matter will be coordinated by the Secretary-General, and the preliminary work will be done solidly according to the meaning of the city......

Zhang Zehu said, raised his wrist to look at the time, and then got up and stretched out his palm to Bao Feiyang: "Comrade Feiyang, then let's do this first, I have an important meeting now, and there are some things, let's find an opportunity to talk about them in detail......

Bao Feiyang couldn't help but smile, although Zhang Zehu didn't say anything, his attitude undoubtedly changed.

After Zhang Zehu was going to the city for a meeting, after the meeting, he went to the municipal party committee to visit Tang Xingbang, the head of the municipal party committee, and after reporting on the work of the Chundong New District, he mentioned seemingly casually: "Before I came to the city for a meeting today, I met the newly appointed young head of Huixun District......

"Oh, it's for the World Exhibition?" Tang Xingbang asked with a smile.

Zhang Zehu nodded: "Yes, but it's about the development of Chundong New District!"

Tang Xingbang couldn't help but smile slightly, as the head of Huixun District, he went to the top leader of Chundong New District to talk about the development of Chundong New District, which is a very taboo thing in officialdom. If it's just blindly singing carols, otherwise the class will get an axe, is this a slap in the face and saying that others are not as good as you or what? Normally, no one will do this, but Bao Feiyang is young after all, although it will be taboo, but it makes people feel funny, and he is stunned.

Zhang Zehu said with a deep sigh: "Of course, he is not stunned, he means that the development prospects of our Chundong are very good, and the place will soon be insufficient, and their Huixun District can help us develop together, and we can develop together, and we can even merge ......."

"Merge?"

Tang Xingbang's eyes flashed: "He, the head of Huixun District, ran to you and said that he wanted to merge with Chundong New District?"

Zhang Zehu nodded: "Of course he didn't say it directly, and he also grasped the proportions very well, but that's roughly what it meant." ”

Tang Xingbang glanced at Zhang Zehu, and when he reached Zhang Zehu's level, he would definitely not tell lies on this kind of issue. The recent movement in Huixun District is relatively large, especially the project of 10 million tons of steel base, which is the envy of several districts. But...... Zhang Zehu didn't want to swallow Huixun District because of this.

"The inclusion of Huixun District in the new district can indeed increase the space and flexibility of the development of Chundong New District, but the pressure on Chundong will also be greater. Tang Xingbang said.

If the bigger the place, the better, Pujiang City does not need to set aside a separate Chundong New District, and the entire Pujiang City can be built as a new area. After all, there are requirements for the construction of Chundong New Area, and it is not a plot of land for you to carry out new rural construction.

In addition, during the period of economic transformation and reform, as a new district, Chundong New Area has many new policies, which are not the same as other districts in Pujiang City.

Zhang Zehu nodded and said: "The construction of Chundong New Area is in the ascendant, and the development plan has long been formulated, and there is still a lot of room for development. However, the outlying island port plan proposed by Huixun District is indeed conducive to the construction of an international shipping center in Chundong New District. ”

Tang Xingbang pondered for a while, the construction plan of the shipping center of Chundong New District is to focus on Gaoqiao Port, and gradually develop Gaoqiao, Zhonggou and Donggou port areas, plus the old port areas of Chunshan and Liupu, the overall throughput will be increased by more than ten times on the basis of the original Chunshan and Liupu port areas, exceeding the largest Xincheng Port now.

Zhang Zehu glanced at Tang Xingbang and continued: "The expansion of Gaoqiao Port, the construction of Zhonggou and Donggou ports, and the dredging of the Tianjiang channel can indeed increase the throughput of the port and allow the latest container ships to berth, but Gaoqiao, Zhonggou and Donggou are still Hanoi ports, which is not conducive to the international transshipment of goods. ”

Zhang Zehu said: "Bao Feiyang's kid is really bold, he proposed that the deep-water port on the outlying islands can develop international transshipment business, on the one hand, the transshipment of goods on the Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia routes to Northeast Asia, and even the Americas, on the other hand, the transshipment ......of goods from Northeast Asia and the Americas to Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East."

"I remember that Pujiang Port didn't have a lot of international transshipment cargo, right?" Tang Xingbang said.

Zhang Zehu nodded: "It's really not much, after all, Pujiang Port is mainly Hanoi Port and Hinterland Port, and there are very few international cargo ships transshipment in Pujiang Port." Even if we build a deep-water port on the outlying islands, our main business is hinterland transshipment, but increasing international transshipment can indeed enhance the status of Pujiang Port in international shipping. ”

Tang Xingbang lightly tapped his finger on the table twice: "In this case, the transshipment business still has a role, so let's take the lead in the demonstration first, and then discuss the issue of ports and mergers......"

Tang Xingbang did not make a clear statement, although the proposal to merge sounds tempting, but after all, it is a merger of two districts, and after the merger, it will form a super region, and he cannot make a decision easily. Including Zhang Zehu himself, he also brought it up by the way this time, and he did not make the decision and preparation for the merger, and this matter needs to be investigated and analyzed in more depth.
