The meeting between Tamura Left Bank and Fang Mingyuan lasted nearly three hours before it ended, and although the two men each answered several phone calls during the process, the length of time still surprised many people in Japan.

After sending off the left bank of Tamura, Fang Mingyuan did not stay in the house, but went to the famous Nagoya Castle. In the early days, the "castle" of Japan was a large castle built during the Warring States period of Japan, and it served as a military tower and a watchtower, but in the later period, the military role was gradually diluted, and it became a place of residence for lords and their samurai, and it was also a demonstration of their strength. Today, Nagoya Castle is one of Japan's most important monuments, including Nagoya Castle, one of Japan's three most famous castles, and its castle tower was home to the Tokugawa family for generations.

The importance of the Tokugawa family in Japanese history is self-evident, and the Tokugawa shogunate held power in Japan for more than 260 years, making it arguably the most powerful and final samurai political organization. To Fang Mingyuan's surprise, after the Tokugawa shogunate handed over the government to the Japanese emperor, the Tokugawa family was not purged on a large scale by the Japanese government. It is said that to this day, the Tokugawa family, including the clan family, still has nine families scattered throughout Japan.

Built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in the early 17th century, Nagoya Castle was destroyed by the Second World War and restored by the Japanese government after the war, but it is no longer what it used to be, and visitors today can only get a glimpse of how it was when it was intact – and it is now one of Nagoya's most famous attractions.

Although Fang Mingyuan has been to Japan many times, and Nagoya has not been a shortcoming, Nagoya City has never had the opportunity to see the true face of Lushan. This time, he spent a long time in Japan, and in his spare time from work, he also went to these places of interest and famous spots in Japan, which can be regarded as a way to investigate the Japanese tourism market. Travel agencies have been growing rapidly in recent years, and they are also exploring overseas travel markets, and the Japanese tourism market is also one of the key areas for development - if you can't stop it, then take a piece of the pie and compete with local Japanese companies for market dominance as much as possible.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan also has another purpose, that is, to learn from the Japanese tourism industry, Qinxi Province is also a major tourism province, with rich tourism resources, but the income of tourism and its resources do not match at all, it is difficult to attract repeat customers, which is undoubtedly a waste of tourism resources. Moreover, in Fang Mingyuan's view, there is still a considerable gap between the tourism industry in Qinxi Province and even the whole country in terms of service quality and level, and other major tourism countries in the world. Of course, some of these disparities are caused by factors that cannot be changed for the time being, but this cannot be concealed by the lack of service awareness in the tourism industry and related industries in Qinxi Province! The ancients were able to put forward such insightful views, and as a modern person, we should not be blinded by some unnecessary factors.

Fang Mingyuan walked in the park outside the castle tower, although it was winter, it had snowed not long ago, and the cherry blossom trees in the park had not yet bloomed, which really made the scenery here a little inferior, but looking at the castle tower in the distance, he still felt a little imposing. It's a pity that the ancient cities in China, because of a series of wars before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and later well-known reasons, can be completely preserved by a handful. The fact that the ancient city of Pingchuan can have today's situation has a lot to do with the fact that it is one of the few preserved beheaded cities in China. But the ancient city of Pingchuan has no special background except for the beheading of the city, and it would be even more perfect if it could be related to a certain celebrity in Chinese history. The reason why the castle tower in front of you is attracting the attention of tourists is that it was the place where the Tokugawa family lived for generations!

The mobile phone next to him suddenly rang, Fang Mingyuan took it out and glanced at it, it was Su Aijun's.

"Uncle Su, it's me. Fang Mingyuan immediately picked up and said, Su Aijun was so busy that he couldn't wait to grow two more arms, and there must be something serious about calling.

"Mingyuan, just now, the Japanese side donated funds to Qinxi Province to build a medical university, which has been approved by the relevant departments. Su Aijun said excitedly. Although there are many medical universities in China, the level of teaching and research is comparable to that of the University of Tokyo Medical School, and to be honest, there is no one! Although it is said that the hardware facilities of the University of Tokyo Medical School are only "copied" in Qinxi Province, and there are no other educational resources of the University of Tokyo Medical Center, this is still a great joy that cannot be ignored for medical education in Qinxi Province!

With the continuous growth of the total population and the continuous delay of the average life expectancy of the people, it can be said that it is the unshirkable responsibility of the government to ensure that the citizens can have adequate and adequate medical services. However, the domestic doctor education and training system in China can be said to have not kept up with the pace of social development. It is difficult to see a doctor, and it has always been criticized by the people. It can be said that the formation of this problem is caused by a combination of various factors, but it is also an indisputable fact that the number of high-quality doctors is insufficient. Although Su Aijun did not study medicine, he also knew that Japan's medical level is definitely the top level in Asia, and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tokyo is the top medical university education in Japan.

"The University of Tokyo School of Medicine is just the beginning, Uncle Su. If nothing else, Qinxi Province will receive hardware donations from two more medical universities. Fang Mingyuan smiled, "They agreed to give private university qualifications?"

"There are two more?" Su Aijun's joy almost poured out of the microphone, "Hmph, if they don't agree, I'll call the door in person!" It was said that the Japanese side donated funds to Qinxi Province to build a medical university, but everyone in the know knows where this money came from. From the perspective of the Ministry of Education in Beijing, it is natural to hope that this new medical university can be established as a public institution, and the hardware facilities are all medical universities in the country, which are also top-notch, as long as they are supplemented with qualified administrative and teaching staff, it is an excellent university, which is of course a great achievement.

But Su Aijun knows that Fang Mingyuan attaches great importance to medical universities, and the public universities under the leadership of the Ministry of Education, except for a few universities, are what virtues, and the Chinese people who are concerned know that the Fang family's current financial resources and support the operation of a medical university by themselves can be said to be without any pressure, so it is natural to set it up as a private university.

Fang Mingyuan laughed and said, "Uncle Su, you are really domineering!" These three medical universities are an important source of talents for the future medical group company in Fang Mingyuan's vision, and it is naturally the most reassuring to hold in his own hands.

Fang Mingyuan held his mobile phone and communicated with Su Aijun while strolling through the park. Although I can't talk about some sensitive topics, I can also learn about the situation in the country. He stayed in Japan for such a long time, and his influence on many affairs in Qinxi Province naturally lacked, which also increased the burden on Su Aijun.

However, all this is also worth it, although Fang Mingyuan himself did not put forward other conditions in addition to those conditions, but during his time in Japan, he also negotiated a lot of cooperation projects with many Japanese enterprises, with the support of the six major consortia and the Japanese government behind it, unless it involves sensitive technology, or Fang Mingyuan's conditions are too harsh, otherwise it is quite smooth. For example, Fang Mingyuan is now negotiating with Tokushukai Medical Group Company, Japan's largest medical group company, and will send personnel to intern in the future.

"By the way, there's good news I almost forgot to tell you. Su Aijun said with a smile, "The national provincial GDP ranking has roughly come out, and we have entered the top ten for the first time, ranking eighth!"

"That's great!" Fang Mingyuan was also overjoyed. Although Qinxi Province has maintained a momentum of rapid development over the years, after all, the previous foundation is too thin, and it is an inland northwest region, which is congenitally inferior compared with the developed coastal areas. And whether it is in terms of land area or population, it is not a big province, and being able to enter the top ten of the provincial GDP ranking is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Su Aijun and Li Dongxing's work in recent years!

Moreover, considering the "tradition" in the domestic GDP statistics, perhaps, maybe Qinxi Province can go to a small level - Su Aijun has put forward clear and strict requirements for data statistics since he was the leader of Tongyi, even if the statistics are ugly, data fraud is absolutely impossible for him here, once he finds out, the person in charge has absolutely no good fruit to eat. This habit continues to this day.

"Lao Ma is under a lot of pressure now, the GDP gap between Tongyi and Fengyuan is now less than 15 percent, and if Lao Zhao is given another year or two, I am afraid that the title of the largest economic city in the province will change hands. Su Aijun said with a little emotion. Although it can be said that Tong Yi was established by him, even after he was promoted, he has always paid attention to Tong Yi, but Tong Yi was able to challenge Feng Yuan's economic status in the province in such a short period of time, which still made him sigh every time he thought about it. After all, the rise of Tongyi, unlike Jinning, Jinning has obtained abundant development funds by relying on coal resources, and once the coal market is sluggish, Jinning's economic level will be significantly negatively affected.

In addition to the geographical location and natural environment being stronger than Jinning, Tongyi can be said to have no rich natural resources, otherwise, it would not have fallen to the point of a national-level poor county. Over the years, Tongyi has come step by step, from the bottom of the province's GDP to today, to be able to challenge Fengyuan, the provincial boss, the hardships can be imagined.

"Uncle Su, what's so surprising about this kind of thing? Not to mention abroad, even in China, there are many provinces where the provincial capital is not the largest economic city in the province. Moreover, I don't think it hurts to separate the economic center from the political center. Fang Mingyuan said, "When Fengyuan's GDP ranking falls outside the fourth or fifth place, I will be happier." ”

"Hey, you really dare to think about it!" Su Aijun said hesitantly, Fengyuan as a thousand-year-old city, is famous at home and even in the world, before the rise of Tongyi, its GDP can occupy nearly half of the GDP of Qinxi Province, even now, Fengyuan's GDP can also occupy more than a quarter of the province's GDP, it and Tongyi combined, can occupy half of the provincial GDP, if you add Jinning, it can reach more than 65 percent! If Fengyuan's GDP is ranked four or five outside the province, then Qinxi Province's GDP will not be able to enter the top five in the domestic ranking! As a medium-sized province in the northwest region, it will already be shocked to enter the top 10.

"If you don't even dare to think about it, wouldn't that person be alive like a salted fish?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"If that's the case, I hope that one day, Fengyuan and Tongyi will be able to wrestle with Pengcheng and Yangcheng on GDP. Su Aijun also smiled.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but pause for a moment before replying, "Then let's take it as a goal to work towards." "Needless to say, the four first-tier cities in China, Beijing and Shanghai, there is no need to compete with them, they have special policy support, and they are not on the same level as other provincial capitals. Pengcheng and Yangcheng are comparable to Tongyi and Fengyuan's status in their respective provinces.

Su Aijun was silent for a long time before he asked in a deep voice: "Mingyuan, are you serious?" Although he was full of confidence in the future of Qinxi Province, Fengyuan and Tongyi, he couldn't help but secretly gasp when it came to letting Fengyuan and Tongyi compete with Pengcheng and Yangcheng in terms of GDP. Although it is said that the first-tier cities in China are these four cities, but Beijing and Shanghai are municipalities directly under the central government, and the province is at the same level, as local cities, Pengcheng and Yangcheng can be said to be the real leading cities, and the reason why they have such a status is also inseparable from the status of Guangdong Province as the largest economic province in China, of course, Hong Kong is next to them, and it is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

And as far as he knows, in 2010, Yangcheng's GDP has broken through the trillion mark, Pengcheng is also close to the trillion mark, if nothing else, the breakthrough is this year, and it is impossible to exceed next year at the latest! And the GDP of Tongyi and Fengyuan combined, compared with the GDP of Pengcheng, there is still a gap of nearly 200 billion Chinese yuan. In the ranking of urban GDP in China, they are ranked third or fourth, while Fengyuan and Tongyi are both around the twentieth!

The gap is huge, although it can't be said to be a world of difference, and it is not easy to catch up.
