Volume 12 The Wave Stops the Flying Boat Section 48 The Ambition of the Water and Land Transportation Hub

"Where is the fastest growing economy in Changjiang at present? Xiliang's economic growth rate in recent years has been ranked first in the province, of course, this has a certain relationship with its low economic aggregate, the situation in Changxi Autonomous Prefecture is similar, but it is undeniable that the rapid development of Xiliang and Changxi Autonomous Prefecture in recent years has changed the economic pattern of our Changjiang, the rise of the west has become a phenomenon, and the rich resources of our Changxi region are being continuously developed, for them, to solve their traffic bottlenecks is the focus of the province's attention. ”

Ma Sihan's words made Lu Weimin thoughtful, if according to what he said, the province's transportation infrastructure construction in the past two years will be focused on the west, that is, the Xiliang region and Changxi Autonomous Prefecture, it should be said that this main line is also correct, but from the perspective of Lu Weimin, it is not a taste, but at this time Ma Sihan said that these are obviously not like making excuses for himself, but referring to something.

Lu Weimin listened quietly and watched Ma Sihan's words.

Ma Sihan saw that Lu Weimin was quite steady, silent, and somewhat appreciated this guy's calm and sophisticated, although he was very young, but this guy already had the demeanor of a general, unlike the leaders of some places, when it came to wind and rain, he picked up half of it and started running, half a jar of water jingled, this guy was very calm.

"Minerals and goods in Changxi area to be transported, you can go to Qingxi to Changzhou, which is digested in the province, if you want to export to the outside of the province, it may not be cost-effective to rely on road transportation, so it is particularly important to fully play the advantages of water and land transport in Songzhou Port, so I just said that Songzhou Port is the focus of the province to build, and this node is in Songzhou. ”

When Ma Sihan speaks, he likes to put up a finger to emphasize, and this situation also shows that he has entered the state.

"Songzhou is the old industrial base of the country, and it is also an important core city that the provincial party committee and the provincial government have determined to revitalize, and the gratifying changes made by Songzhou this year are in the eyes of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, so as to further promote the stable and sustainable development of Songzhou's economy. It is also the tone set by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and the province also has some new ideas in the area of transportation. ”

Lu Weimin's eyes began to shine, this trip was worth it, and it came in time.

"Changxi Autonomous Prefecture through Xiliang to Songzhou is now the provincial highway 326, this road is old, badly damaged, has seriously not adapted to the current economic development needs, Songzhou Port as the only one in our Changjiang Province on the main stream of the Yangtze River on the deep-water port of the river its unique advantages have not been fully exerted, and to give full play to the advantages of Songzhou Port. Then we need to build Songzhou Port into our Changjiang water and land transport hub, and even radiate to drive eastern Hubei and southwest Anhui, at this point, I personally believe that even Changzhou, in this regard, the conditions are far inferior to Songzhou. ”

Lu Weimin felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and the meaning of Ma Sihan's words was quite obvious, to build Songzhou into a water and land transport hub in Changjiang Province, which means that the province will make a fuss about Songzhou Port in the construction of transportation infrastructure in the future. It's a blessing.

"Governor Ma, can I understand that the province will have some new ideas and new ideas in the province's road construction planning, um. I'm referring to some of the ideas on highways. ”

Lu Weimin's words made Ma Sihan also secretly praise, this guy can climb to this position at such a young age, he does have some ability, this sense of smell that knows the elegance of listening to the strings and songs. There are few people who can compare, he just reveals some meanings, and this guy can understand the true taste.

"Hmm. For the people, Secretary Shao and Governor Rong of the province have some new ideas, our province is not only lagging behind the coastal areas in the construction of highways, but also lagging behind the surrounding areas, and even backward than some areas in the west, which seriously restricts the economic development of our province, and is not consistent with the development image of our province, so the provincial party committee and the provincial government intend to have some big moves and breakthroughs in this regard, and Songzhou is also a point chosen by the province, but I want to remind you that it is just a point, and there is also Guiping, Toyosu, it depends on whether the jihua taken out by each region can fit in with the province. Ma Sihan nodded.

"Governor Ma, as you said, Songzhou water and land transport conditions are not even comparable to Changzhou, at the same time Songzhou is an old industrial base in urgent need of revitalization, the core node city, the western Changxi Autonomous Prefecture and Xiliang region is currently the fastest growing area in the province, but also the most abundant minerals, energy area, and our Songzhou complementarity is great, we Songzhou has also made great progress this year, so open up a golden land route connecting the west and north, so that the golden land route through Songzhou this node, and the Yangtze River golden waterway, The Changwan railway is connected, which will greatly promote the economic development of the three places, which is the expectation of the people of our three places, and will surely win the full support of our cadres and masses in the three places. ”

Lu Weimin's tongue bloomed with lotus flowers, and Ma Sihan just smiled slightly, " For the people, don't say it better than singing, I said it, the province does have some new ideas, but where to blossom and bear fruit first, it depends on everyone's ability, but there is one thing to explain first, expect the provincial finance to give you a back, unrealistic, you are in charge of finance, and the provincial finance department has a lot of time to deal with, very clear about the situation of the provincial finance, Tao Xingju claims to be an expert in managing money, and now he is in a hurry, and has been criticized several times by Governor Rong and Governor Hua, and there is nowhere to cry。 ”

Lu Weimin also smiled slightly, he knew what Ma Sihan meant, the province gave policy support, it depends on the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their powers, but what kind of policy is this policy, although Ma Sihan has not penetrated the bottom, Lu Weimin can also figure out one or two, it must be in the financing channels and tax policy, otherwise such a big move as building a highway, there is no little exciting thing, who dares to smash it in easily? If it is not a financial investment in construction, it can only be a government loan or a BOT method to build.

Ma Sihan denied the possibility of government investment, and it is also possible for the platform company or the establishment of a project company under the government to operate with loans, but the risk is also very large. Xiliang and Songzhou, the total economic volume of the three cities and states in the province is currently in the middle and lower reaches of the province, that is to say, if this highway is operated by means of loan repair, it will undoubtedly make the project company or platform company bear considerable debt repayment pressure, once the economic development of these places is expected to be difficult to make the capacity flow of this highway according to the company's expected profitability, it will lead to losses, and this possibility is very large, Lu Weimin is not sure whether Shao Jingchuan and Rong Daosheng have the courage to let the provincial government under the platform company or set up a project company to take the lead。

"Governor Ma, I think the value and significance of the construction of the expressway on the Changxi-Xiliang-Songzhou line is very great, and it is completely possible to immediately establish the project and start the design as soon as possible.

If the attitude of the province is ambiguous, most of them hope that various cities can negotiate to engage in the form of BOT.

This is the most likely, but with the memory of Lu Weimin's previous life, the economic development of Xiliang has been very fast, and Songzhou will sink for a few years, but even so, the flow of the West Song Expressway is quite large.

Because the condition of provincial highway 326 is very poor, and later it is tinkering, so the West Song Dynasty Expressway has been in a high-load state since it was completed, and it is overloaded later, a large number of heavy trucks in the West Song Dynasty Expressway and later the Shuangxi Expressway (Changxi Prefecture - West Liang) Expressway was completed, and the heavy trucks from Changxi Prefecture also took a large number of Shuangxi Expressway and West Song Expressway, and arrived at Songzhou Port for loading, or directly from Songzhou Yangtze River Bridge across the bridge, straight to Hubei and Anhui and northern provinces and cities.

Now the situation is even more different, Changxi and Xiliang are like in the previous life, but Songzhou has instigated its wings because of its own butterfly, so that Songzhou has entered the revival period in advance, that is to say, the passenger and freight flow of the West Song Expressway will only be greater than in the previous life, and if the West Song Expressway is launched in the BOT way, it will definitely be a lucrative project, but it may take a relatively large unknown risk in the early stage.

"Not for the time being, the province is now everywhere in the holes and loans are very large, to solve the need to use money, the original province has considered by the provincial highway construction and development company to take the lead, but because the risk control is not easy to solve, Secretary Shao is more worried, so the province finally failed to pass, now the province intends to solve the construction and operation rights of several roads in the province in the form of bidding, I mean you understand, right? Whoever comes to the forefront may be more risky, but the more financing and policy support they will receive, depending on who has the ambition of the crab eater.

"That's the BOT way to solve the problem?" Lu Weimin asked, he had to figure out the truth of this, so that he could start to set up suitable collaborators.

"Pretty much, it depends, but I think it's very likely. Ma Sihan responded.

It is also rare for Ma Sihan to be able to say this, after all, he is not the secretary of the provincial party committee and governor, and he has no dominance, so it is the first time in Changjiang to give up the right to collect highway tolls to obtain construction funds.

Lu Weimin quickly calculated in his mind, there is absolutely no problem with the West Song Expressway, anyone can see the development momentum of Xiliang, and although Songzhou has been sluggish in the past few years, it has been significantly improved since this year, and Songzhou, a large city with a population of more than one million, has a strong industrial base, once the West Song Expressway is completed, it is definitely profitable, and it will be further liberalized with the reform and opening up, and the economy will further develop, so that the future of the West Song Dynasty Highway is brighter.
