Chapter 624: Wanghai Dilemma

Xiao Jinhui and Du Jinping looked at each other immediately, of course they knew the benefits of doing this, and the county did not relax its work in this regard, but basically there was no effect, if Bao Feiyang could really do this, let alone Jiao Mengde, even Zhou Zhikai, secretary of the county party committee, and Yang Chengdong, the county magistrate, could not suppress his limelight.

While they were excited and their hearts were racing, they were worried that Bao Feiyang didn't understand the situation in Wanghai County and thought about things too simply. The two exchanged glances and took a deep breath, Xiao Jinhui applied nervously haha: "County Magistrate Bao, if this thing can really be done, then you are the great hero of our Wanghai County!" ”

"Yes, but I'm worried that after the merchants come to our Wanghai, they will, will feel that our conditions here do not meet their requirements."

Bao Feiyang picked up the wine glass, signaled Xiao Jinhui and Du Jinping not to worry, after drinking, he said slowly: "Compared with others, the conditions of Wanghai do have shortcomings, but they also have their own advantages, you can rest assured, I have communicated with the merchants, and also introduced the situation of our Wanghai, they said that these hardware difficulties can be overcome for the time being, as long as the software can keep up, they are still happy to put the project in Wanghai." ”

"Hardware, software?" Xiao Jinhui and Du Jinping are a little puzzled, people in this era already know more or less about computers, but there are very few people who can really contact them, so the concept of what is hardware and what is software is not very popular. Bao Feiyang had to explain briefly.

From the name, Wanghai County can be seen that this is a coastal province, after the reform and opening up. The economic development of the coastal areas is changing with each passing day, but it is difficult to equate Wanghai County with the coastal cities, where it is difficult to see the sea, and the east of the county is the endless reed wasteland, the tidal flats, the saline-alkali land, and the turbid Yellow Sea outside.

Wanghai County, or the entire province of Jiangbei, is located between the great river in the south and the Huaishui in the north, which is the largest and third largest river in China, respectively, and the Huaishui was once part of the Yellow River. These two major rivers bring large amounts of sediment from the upper reaches into the sea every year, and then deposit them on the seabed near the shore, Jingcheng has the longest coastline of any prefecture-level city in the country, and this coastline is extending into the sea at a rapid rate every year.

due to sediment deposition. As a result, the coastal areas of Jiangbei Province, including Jingcheng City, generally lack good deep-water seaports. At present, only the Tongzhou Port in the south and the Haizhou Port in the north are slightly larger, but these two ports have nothing to do with Jingcheng.

Therefore, although Jingcheng City is located on the coast, it does not have a good harbor, but there are some fishing ports. Chengang in Wanghai County used to be a fishing port. Now there are only a few thousand-ton docks. The driving effect on the economy is very limited.

In addition, Jingcheng City is located on the eastern edge of the mainland on land, and the central part of Jiangbei Province is north, and the economic center of Jiangbei Province is along the two north-south water systems, the Great River and the Huaishui. As well as the distribution of the Jingshen Line on the west side, the capital of Jiangbei Province is also in the southwest of the province where the Dajiang River and the Jingshen Line meet. The economic center of gravity of Jiangbei Province is at the north and south ends, especially the southern Yangtze River Economic Belt, where the provincial capital is located.

From this geographical location, it can be seen that the entire Jingcheng City is the economic subsidence area of Jiangbei Province, and the economy has not been able to develop, and there is not even a railway in the city, and the water network is vertical and horizontal, and the highway traffic is not very convenient.

Wanghai County is located in the easternmost and northernmost part of Jingcheng City, bordering Haizhou City in the north, and Jingcheng City is also focusing on the development of the south, and the three northern counties are relatively backward, especially Wanghai.

Therefore, Xiao Jinhui and Du Jinping are worried that the merchants will give up the idea of investing in Wanghai after they come.

Xiao Jinhui and Du Jinping's worries cannot be said to be unreasonable, but Bao Feiyang is not worried about this, Fangxia Ceramics is his business, as long as he makes a decision, Fangxia Ceramics will not have anyone to object.

Of course, Bao Feiyang will not ignore the life and death of Fangxia ceramics for the sake of the so-called political achievements, which violates the laws of economy. As he just said, the survival and development of enterprises is not only affected by hardware, but also by software, Fangxia ceramics has developed rapidly in recent years, and the scale is also large, no matter where to invest is very popular, the local will also create a good investment environment to attract enterprises to settle down.

However, Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, Fangxia ceramics has received local attention, but every year in order to dredge the relationship spent a lot of public relations money, sometimes it will affect the normal operation of the company. If Fangxia Ceramics puts the project in Wanghai County, under Bao Feiyang's attention, I believe that there will be a lot less such things. All things considered, as long as the project is suitable, it may not be cost-effective to put it in Wanghai.

He couldn't explain some of these tricks to Xiao Jinhui and Du Jinping, but while drinking, he instilled the concept of hardware and software in the two of them, which made them feel more confident at the same time.

During the conversation, Bao Feiyang found that Xiao Jinhui and Du Jinping had some personal ideas in the development of Wanghai's economy, and it could be seen that they were also attentive, but unfortunately due to various reasons, there was no room to play.

"I think, we Wanghai can not develop, or the reason why the above is not enough attention, if the province and the city support, in Chengang to build a 10,000-ton deep-water wharf, we Wanghai can become a harbor city, with the distance from Chengang to Japan and South Korea ports, import and export trade will definitely increase greatly, and the development will be a thousand miles away." Xiao Jinhui is indeed very good at drinking, and he killed one of the two bottles of 58-degree Lao Baigan brought by Bao Feiyang, and he spoke more directly through wine.

Du Jinping didn't drink much, but he was prone to blush after drinking, he glanced at Bao Feiyang cautiously, and found that Bao Feiyang listened more seriously, and then said: "It's not enough to build a seaport, goods can't come in, can't go out, you look at the port cities in the country, which one is not connected to the railway?" There were no railways, and the ports were built without enough throughput. ”

Bao Feiyang nodded, cargo throughput is indeed very important for a port, and without a strong economic hinterland, it is impossible to build a large seaport.

"The port can also strive for it, even if there is no way to build a 10,000-ton wharf at once, it can also build a 5,000-ton wharf first. As for the railway, don't think about it, that's the General Directorate of Railways. Bao Feiyang shook his head, in his memory, Jingcheng City will not have the first railway in seven or eight years, but this railway is north-south, does not connect to any port along the coast of Jingcheng, and there has been no way to cross the river, and the local economy is very limited.

Xiao Jinhui sneered and said, "The General Administration of Railways? If the province really attaches importance to the development of the central and northern regions and vigorously supports the construction of railways in the central and northern regions, the Railway General Assembly will definitely consider it. However, in order to ensure the core position of the provincial capital, the province has always had a cold attitude towards the eastern railway. ”

"Yes, if a railway is built on the eastern line, crossing the river from Tongzhou to Shencheng, and becoming the eastern passage of the Beijing-Shenzhou line, it is bound to weaken the status of the western route passing through the provincial capital, affecting the regional status of the provincial capital, and using the political influence of the provincial capital, how can the province agree?" Du Jinping also echoed: "Now that Tongzhou's economy has surpassed that of the provincial capital, the province must stifle other negative impacts." ”

"Well, there are some things that we can't change, we still have to start from reality and make some changes within our ability." Bao Feiyang's mind came up with the regional map of Jiangbei Province, knowing that although things were not as simple as Xiao Jinhui and Du Jinping said, at least at this stage, the value of the West Road of the Jingshen Line was far greater than that of the East Road, and of course, once the East Road was completed, its potential may also be very large.

Even if Bao Feiyang is ambitious, he also knows that such a thing as building a railway is not something he can accomplish now, and the seaport and railway are both big capital, big industry agglomeration, and it can't be done lightly. Comparatively speaking, it is easier to use high-grade roads or highways. In fact, there are ports and railways in Haizhou City to the north of Wanghai, but there is a Guanhe River between Wanghai and Haizhou, and there is a bridge to connect it to Guannan in the west.

More than 10 years later, the state implemented the strategy of large-scale coastal development, and successively built coastal highways and high-grade coastal highways, and when Bao Feiyang crossed the country, it was still planning to build coastal railways, completely breaking through the traffic bottleneck on the eastern edge of the mainland, and promoting the rapid development of the coastal areas of Jingcheng. However, at that time, the domestic industrial layout had been finalized, and the gap between Jingcheng City and other coastal cities that had missed the initial opportunity had been completely widened, and if the coastal arteries could be opened up now, Wanghai County and Jingcheng City would inevitably have better development.

Coastal highways and coastal high-grade highways are national strategies, and it is not something that Bao Feiyang can influence now, but it is still possible to rely on the existing highway system to open up key points.

From the location of Wanghai County, the east is the sea, the west has a big lake, the south is very far away from the economic center, only to the north, across the crown river can reach Haizhou, with the help of Haizhou's port, railway and highway transportation advantages, for economic development ushered in new opportunities.

The highway leading to the north in Wanghai County is mainly a Haiphong Highway, located in the east of the county, a provincial highway branch, directly to Wanghai Ferry, located in the middle of the county, and a third-class highway in the west, leading to Linhe Township. However, there is no bridge on these roads to the other side, in fact, as long as a bridge is built, it can connect the road network of Haizhou City and find a way to the north.

However, although the Guanhe River is not a big river, the water surface is relatively open in the Wanghai section that is about to enter the sea, and it is not easy to repair the bridge. What's more, the Guanhe Bridge connects the two cities of Jingcheng and Haizhou, which involves coordination between the two cities, and the level of Wanghai County is not enough, so it is difficult to exert strength.

Just as the center of gravity of Jiangbei Province is in the south, the development focus of Jingcheng City is also the southern district and city, Wanghai County is almost a forgotten corner, the city is unwilling to spend great efforts to promote the Guanhe Bridge project, this project is also a chicken rib for Haizhou, so Wanghai City has been proposed for many years, but there has been no movement.

Bao Feiyang felt that this might be an opportunity for himself. (To be continued......)
