Section 84: Seeking Development

When Zhao Guodong arrived in Beijing, Wei Wenming and Ye Qingchuan were already waiting at the airport.

The two of them arrived in Beijing a few days before Zhao Guodong, mainly to play the front station, the operation of the Kunwen Expressway has been on the right track, Ye Qingchuan also has some doorways in Beijing, the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Communications have more or less contact, even if he Ye Qingchuan is not enough face, he can also invite one or two gods of the department to help contact and communicate, which is much better than those local cadres who dare to come to Beijing with a black eye.

The Beijing official shelf is big, and the general director of the province is here, basically only has to queue up to build bridges, even if it is the vice governor, it depends on how close to the ministry is usually not, otherwise it may also put you on the side for a few days to cool down It can be normal.

The conditions of the Wencheng District Beijing Office are not good, and the Beijing Office in Beijing, which is a matchmaker and helps buy plane tickets, and provides catering and accommodation in the capital, is nothing more, and it is obviously unrealistic to really expect these Beijing offices to have a close relationship with various ministries and commissions.

Zhao Guodong doesn't mind these very much, he is more familiar with Beijing than ordinary people, after all, he has been here for half a year, as for the Ministry of Communications and the National Development and Reform Commission, he also has some relationship, but Kunwen Expressway is not a small project, the investment amount is considerable, even the National Development and Reform Commission for such a project has to go through quite complex and cumbersome procedures, every link has to go, often like such a project program to complete, without a year and a half to think about it, especially the early evaluation is a time-consuming and labor-intensive work, and essential.

"How's it going?" Zhao Guodong beckoned the two of them to get into the Buick business car of the Yunnan Office in Beijing, and asked casually.

"There are joys and sorrows, the joy is that the Ministry of Communications is still more supportive of the Kunwen Expressway, it is said that the Minister of Youci returned to Beijing to send people to implement this work, and now some preliminary opinions of the Ministry of Communications have been reported to the National Development and Reform Commission, sadly, the provinces are now chasing infrastructure projects very tightly, the National Development and Reform Commission over this kind of project number does not know which year and month to turn to us, the prospect is bleak." Wei Wenming shook his head and said with some frustration.

"Everyone is not stupid, last year's central policy regulation and control, compressed investment in infrastructure, this year's policy pocket has been relaxed, everyone wants to take back what was lost last year, naturally a swarm of bees flocked up, and the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers."

Zhao Guodong has long expected this situation, a short period of regulation and control will definitely usher in a wave of climax, this is actually not scientific, but some things are not only from the economic point of view to consider the problem, but also to stand on the political height to look at the problem, last year's situation under the pressure of a pressure to collect, the people's reaction is very strong, now the provinces use investment to stimulate economic development The desire is very strong, the investment impulse is also very strong, the central government is also different on this issue, so it is reflected in the policy is also a little scattered, Only then did the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers.

"But Minister Zhao, the situation in southern Yunnan is different, this time the prime minister came to our southern Yunnan to inspect, the attitude is also quite clear, our southern Yunnan is the bridgehead to ASEAN and South Asia, the backward infrastructure seriously restricts the political, economic and trade exchanges between China and ASEAN and South Asia, and it is also easy to form a collapse effect, specifically instructed the central ministries and commissions to give priority to the infrastructure construction of southern Yunnan."

Ye Qingchuan was also a little unwilling, originally thought that the prime minister came to southern Yunnan to inspect and make a speech, with this Shang Fang sword, it should be said that there is no disadvantage, but I didn't expect to find the severity of the situation in Beijing, the National Development and Reform Commission has a large number of such projects, all waiting to be passed, and basically every project has more or less a leader's words or instructions, even so, the National Development and Reform Commission will put your projects aside, one by one, and will not give priority to this project because you think it is urgent and important.

Of course, if your project is really important to the prime minister personally approves and completes it within a time limit, then it is another matter, such as projects such as the Yunnan-Burma Expressway and the Yunnan-Burma Railway, which were passed by the executive meeting of the State Council, without anyone to greet or urge, it is also vigorous and resolute, and it will definitely be taken down for you with an efficiency that you can't imagine.

"Qingchuan, you are also from the central ministry, don't you know what is on the threshold here? These directors of these departments and commissions in the ministries are more refined than monkeys, which need to be done immediately, which can be put aside, which can be handled as appropriate, and which can be put into the cold palace, you report it to him and sniff it to figure out that it is not far from ten, I estimate that you are afraid that you will do no less in the Ministry of Commerce, right? Zhao Guodong glanced at Ye Qingchuan and said with a smile: "Now you realize the difficulties of doing things below, right?" If you have the opportunity to return to these ministries in the future, don't be embarrassed to run errands for those of us below. ”

Ye Qingchuan was a little hot by Zhao Guodong's words, this Minister Zhao is too shrewd, he also worked in the Ministry of Energy, and he is no stranger to these doorways, and he feels energetic to deal with this kind of leader, but he also has to work hard, and if he wants to fool him, it is self-inflicted.

"This Kunwen Expressway is our own struggle, the prime minister listened to my brief report at the time, did not express his position, that is to say, this is a project that can be up and down, if it works well, it can also be pushed up, if it is not grasped, it is possible to put it aside for three or five years, to put it bluntly, it depends on our planning and operation, or how can the Ministry of Beijing become the focus of everyone's attention?"

"Then Minister Zhao, what should we do now?" Wei Wenming is the most worried, the Kunwen Expressway project has caused great repercussions in the entire Wencheng as soon as it spreads, it can be said that it has touched the hearts of millions of people in Wencheng, and now the Wencheng Prefectural Committee is also a bit of a difficult situation, if this project is really yellow, then the Wencheng Prefectural Committee is really difficult to explain to millions of Wencheng people.

"Qingchuan, you should also be familiar with this set of processes, you tell me about your plan." Zhao Guodong also felt that this matter was quite tricky, Ye Qingchuan should have some way, and the new commissioner would definitely want to do something for Wencheng to prove his ability, and he should spare no effort in this matter.

"Minister Zhao, I won't tell you, before you came, Secretary Wei and I also went to the Ministry of Communications and the National Development and Reform Commission a few times, the Ministry of Communications has no problems, full cooperation, but the National Development and Reform Commission is not easy to walk, I also found some leaders to help coordinate and communicate, but the difficulty is quite large, it is really like the Kunwen Expressway such as the best book city}} too much, and I hope that the central government will take out the money, this is the biggest problem of an umbrella, if the provincial finance or other other channels of financing, it will be much easier." Ye Qingchuan did not hide it, "The key lies in this. ”

"Well, I see that you still have half of your words, let's say, what do you think." Zhao Guodong felt that Ye Qingchuan probably also had some out-of-the-way ideas.

"Hehe, Minister Zhao, I still follow your learning, if you want to pass the Kunwen Expressway quickly, you still have to solve the problem of who pays, the central government spends so much money on infrastructure investment every year, staring at too many people, and I don't blame the NDRC for being stuck like a calf, but if we can change the source of investment and solve this problem, the NDRC will not have a big problem." Ye Qingchuan explained.

"The provincial finances are also very difficult, and it is unlikely that the province will spend money on the Kunwen Expressway, and the focus of infrastructure investment in the province from this year to next year will still be on the western and northwestern parts of Yunnan." Zhao Guodong shook his head.

"I also know that my idea is to use BOT or BOOT to operate." Ye Qingchuan stared at Zhao Guodong and said.

"BO, the Kunwen Expressway is very important for the development of Wencheng, but for investors, they have to consider recovering costs and profits, and I estimate that it will be less difficult to find a suitable investor than to break through the NDRC." Zhao Guodong seemed to have expected Ye Qingchuan to say this, and analyzed it very calmly.

"As for the BOOT method, although it is only a workaround of the BOT method, it is more sensitive at the policy level, in fact, this is also a country's tolerance for the privatization of public infrastructure, if from my personal point of view, such as the Kunwen Expressway is not the national trunk line, it is not impossible to take the BOOT method, and even the national or local government can also take the form of equity participation in the project company to reduce this concern, but from the national level, There is no precedent in the history of highway construction in our country, and it seems that there are restrictions in terms of policy, and I can't say whether it can be broken. ”

Zhao Guodong's very accurate and sophisticated analysis made Ye Qingchuan also very convinced, he originally felt that Zhao Guodong's BOT in Ningling was just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, but he didn't expect him to have such a thorough and profound understanding of this aspect of the policy, and the problems pointed out are insurmountable policy barriers at this stage, which is also what he is most distressed about.

Kunwen Expressway is very important for the development of Wencheng area, but due to the lagging economic development of Wencheng area, and the complex geological conditions of limestone karst caves, the amount of investment is large, when the investment cost can be recovered is also a difficult to predict problem, that is to say, investors are very risky, may not be able to find suitable investors.

Seeing that Wei Wenming and Ye Qingchuan were as wilted as punctured balls, Zhao Guodong was also a little funny: "What, just such a little thing knocked you down?" Ready to give up? I'm not in the habit of quitting so quickly. ”
