According to Lu Weimin's prediction, in 1999, that is, this year, Songzhou's GDP may exceed 21 billion yuan or even reach 22 billion yuan, and by 2000 it may reach 40 billion yuan, and the inevitable result after reaching a certain scale is that the growth rate will gradually return to normal.

Of course, there will be a process of returning to normal, and this process may be two years, maybe three years, but it is unlikely to become five years and ten years, if Songzhou can maintain the current development trend, the regional GDP in 2001 may reach about 55 billion, in 2002 it may be able to exceed 70 billion, and then it may really return to the normal speed.

Of course, if the policy is reasonable, the industry continues to develop, and it is normal for the annual growth rate to be higher than that of other cities, after all, Songzhou's industrial base is there, and the accumulation of location advantages and infrastructure will gradually be displayed, and it is possible for the economic growth rate to remain between 15% and 25%.

But this must have a premise, that is, the team should work together, choose the direction of development accurately, and adjust the industrial layout reasonably, that is to say, the right time, place and all kinds of factors can meet the situation.

The foundation and advantages of Songzhou are not much inferior to that of Changzhou, and to be honest, compared with the conditions of Changzhou in all aspects, the two cities have their own merits.

Changzhou is strong in the size of the city, human resources, scientific research strength, while Songzhou is strong in location advantages and traffic conditions, the provincial capital city for Changzhou is both an advantage and a disadvantage, the advantage is that as a provincial capital and sub-provincial city will have greater independence, the disadvantage is that this independence often becomes a potential consciousness of the province to curb constraints.

Similarly, for Song Zhou, there is no concern in this regard, and the province may give greater support to Song Zhou.

Taking into account various factors, Changzhou is slightly stronger than Songzhou, but it is not obvious. From the current point of view, Changzhou has obvious advantages, but the development momentum of Songzhou has risen, if Changzhou does not make changes, maybe that little advantage will soon be caught up by Songzhou.

In Lu Weimin's view, the industrial pattern of Suqian and Sui'an and even Luxi Lucheng has basically formed.

Su Chen to the iron and steel industry as the leader, machining, shipbuilding, steel structure, railway equipment manufacturing, building materials and other industries closely related to the steel industry and the rapid development of the industry, the next step is how to make the rough processing industry chain to deep processing development, as far as possible to extend the industrial chain, improve the added value of the industry.

Sui'an's situation was slightly worse than Su Chen's. Compared with the development of the entire series of industries driven by the steel industry in Suzhou, although the communication electronics industry led by Fengyun Communications is also making great progress, the communication electronics industry is relatively single, and it is urgent to further expand the industrial extension, from communication electronics to the entire electronics industry. There is still a long way to go, but Yang Dajin's goal plan has been determined. The next question is how to move forward with implementation.

Luxi is in the best condition. Clothing, hats and socks, shoes (including shoe materials), sporting goods, outdoor sports equipment, toys, trinkets and other textile small commodity industries are in the ascendant, and the rise of the trade circulation industry has further promoted the development of the textile manufacturing industry, the second and third industries have formed a benign interaction, and its growth potential is the most optimistic in Songzhou.

The situation in Lucheng is also good, the textile industry has become its leading industry, and the production of various clothing fabrics has become the brand industry of Lucheng. Enterprises and vendors from all over the country gather here to purchase all kinds of clothing fabrics, but the problem of Lucheng has also begun to appear, that is, too single industry contains risks. Now the market is improving, of course, can not be seen, when the market changes, Lucheng's economy may be hit, so Lu Weimin also reminded Huo Tingjiang that the Lucheng County Party Committee and County Government should consciously begin to adjust the industry, in addition to continuing to support the textile industry as a leading industry, but also consciously cultivate other related industries, such as toy manufacturing, small household appliance manufacturing industry, etc.

It can be said that the backbone of Songzhou's industry is in these four districts and counties, and the distance between these four districts and counties and the two old economic strong areas of Shazhou and Songcheng has not been opened last year, but from the first half of this year, the distance has widened rapidly.

Last year, Su Chen, who ranked first in the annual regional GDP, was only less than 100 million higher than Songcheng, which ranked fifth, but in the first half of this year, Lucheng, which ranked fourth, has exceeded the sandbar ranked fifth by 650 million, and Su Chen, who ranked first, was 840 million higher than Songcheng, which had fallen to sixth, and this is only half a year.

The gap between 100 million and 20 billion is only one year, and such a huge contrast is hard to believe, but it is clearly in front of you.

Therefore, Tong Yunsong and Wei Xingxia are both full of urgency to revive the economy of Songcheng and Shazhou, and the economic development of Songcheng and Shazhou cannot be started, and Songzhou has always been a lame duck.

The rapid development of the county's economy, but the sluggish economy of the urban area, which cannot but be said to be a sadness, is also the main reason why Tong Wei and the others want Lu Weimin to focus on the economic development of Songcheng and Shazhou, and not too much energy on such insignificant as the West Tower.

No leader dares to ignore the development of the urban economy, and the sluggish urban economy is like a person lacking a strong heart, no matter how strong the torso is, it is difficult to support the health of the whole person.

But Lu Weimin really doesn't have too many ideas about the economy of Songcheng and Shazhou, including the Economic Development Zone, which may also have something to do with the fact that he didn't put too much thought into it before.

Compared with Songcheng, Shazhou, and the Economic Development Zone, he is more willing to spend his efforts on counties such as Xita, Zicheng, and Zekou, which are more likely to achieve results, and the main leaders of the county party committee and county government in these counties also have a stronger sense of urgency and responsibility, and the various interests and patterns in the county are relatively simpler and easier to twist into a rope.

So he chose Sita as a breakthrough and as a test field.

Sita is like a blank piece of paper that can be painted according to his intentions, and Li Youjun and Miao Qiwei can be the best writers.

In particular, it is a rare attempt to abandon the industry-led step and focus on the primary and tertiary industries, and Sita just has such conditions, which also makes Lu Weimin full of interest.

"Juncheng, I don't go around in circles with you, Xita has been included in the important development goals of our city, Yuxi Highway is the most important step we are currently planning, in the construction of this highway, we Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will do their best to support, but on this road, only the efforts of our Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are not enough, because this involves the two cities of Songzhou and Changzhou, whether it is from the coordination of the two cities, already in the subsidy of funds, we need the support of the province,......"

Ma Juncheng took a sip of tea from the teacup, put down the teacup, and touched his chin with a wry smile, "Brother Min, you still said that you went around in circles, let's talk about it, what do you need me to do?"

"Well, I have to help you talk to Governor Ma, of course, when the time comes, I will report to the province in the name of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Secretary Gao, Governor Hua, and even Governor Rong, I will go, but the key is that the Provincial Department of Transportation and Governor Ma need to have a clear attitude, in addition, over there in Changzhou, I heard that Governor Ma has a very good relationship with Mayor Tie, Juncheng in this regard, you have to help me blow the wind, I am worried that Changzhou will give us problems." Lu Weimin spread his hands.

"What are you doing?" Ma Juncheng was puzzled, "Didn't you say that Songzhou was willing to bear more in terms of funds? This kind of win-win good thing, Changzhou can't even think of it, how can it not be angry?"

Lu Weimin smiled, "The reason is very simple, Yufeng and Xita are not closely connected, and now Changzhou Second Ring Road and Lingshan Avenue are under construction, it can be said that the advantages of Yufeng's convenient transportation are becoming more and more prominent, we hope to break through Xifeng Mountain to build Yuxi Highway, the purpose is to take advantage of Yufeng's transportation advantages, from this point of view, Changzhou is not interested in it is reasonable." ”

"You can't say that, right?" Ma Juncheng is obviously not so easy to fool, "Yufeng has transportation advantages, and the completion of Yuxi Highway is indeed of great benefit to Xita, and it is also good to say that Xita has borrowed Yufeng's transportation advantages, but is it not good for Yufeng to further enhance its status as a transportation hub?" Moreover, if this road is opened, it will be easier for the southwest of Songzhou to be integrated with Changzhou, and the west tower and even Lucheng and Zekou further north will be more easily radiated by the Changzhou economic circle. ”

It must be said that these children from official families are still particularly strong in many aspects, they are no strangers to these political and economic affairs, and their sense of smell is more sensitive, and they can immediately figure out the taste.

It's just that of course Lu Weimin can't say that the executive deputy mayor of Changzhou City is not on the right path with him, well, he even has a feeling of "wife-snatching hatred", although he has not crossed the line with Ji Wanru until now, but in Yun Tingguo's mind, he is afraid that he has already slept in the same bed with Ji Wanru, and this knot may not be easy to untie, and it may not even be able to be untied for the rest of his life.
