After leaving Jingxi, Lin Zhenhua chose to return to Xunyang by river steamer -- the relocation of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge has been completed, and the dredging of the Yangtze River channel is being completed with great fanfare. Along the way, Lin Zhenhua can see from time to time that there is a construction site in full swing on the shore, with the words "XX Development Zone" written on it, which is 2,000 kilometers long, and the rise of the Yangtze River Industrial Belt deep into the hinterland of southern China is just around the corner.

The development of modern industry is inseparable from the support of water transportation. The world's major industrial belts have all developed by relying on convenient waterway transportation. It is no accident that since China's reform and opening up, the earliest areas to develop were all coastal areas. Most of the earliest industries developed in China are labor-intensive industries, especially the export processing trade of "large entry and large export". Processing companies bring in raw materials from overseas, process them with cheap Chinese labor, and then export the finished products to the international market. In this process, if there is no low-cost sea transportation as a support, the transportation cost alone is enough to completely offset the advantage of labor.

With the increasing popularity of Chinese manufacturing in the world, China's coastal cities have gradually appeared the phenomenon of industrial saturation, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, Xiaoyong, southern Zhejiang and other places of industrial enterprises gathered, not only the industrial land is gradually exhausted, but also due to the large concentration of industrial population, but also formed a huge pressure on the regional ecology. Ecological crises such as the lake's blue-green algae are essentially due to the fact that the local population exceeds the limits of what the environment can handle, and there are signs of ecological collapse.

Under such circumstances, the transfer of new industries to the mainland has become an inevitable trend, and the transportation problem has become an important bottleneck in the transfer of industries to the mainland. The demolition of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge and the completion of the Yangtze River channel have enabled the 2,000-kilometer middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to realize river-sea combined transportation, and 10,000 tons of sea vessels can be directly traced back to the Jingchu area, which is equivalent to turning the riverside areas of the five provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River into coastal areas, which is equivalent to the location of the Great Lakes region of the United States.

The governments of the provinces along the Yangtze River have seen this and have invariably listed the construction of the industrial belt along the Yangtze River as the top priority of the province's development. In just a few months, dozens of new development zones and high-tech zones have been built along the Yangtze River in various provinces, and sensational names such as Silicon Valley, Optical Valley, Superconducting Valley, and Nano Valley have dazzled people, and officials from various investment promotion bureaus have flown all over the world, setting off a new round of investment promotion.

"This Yangtze River is really not enough for everyone to toss." Lin Zhenhua stood on the side of the river ship, looking at the tower cranes on the river bank that were as dense as a forest, and he was full of emotion.

Hu Fei, who accompanied Lin Zhenhua on the inspection in Jingxi, said: "Mr. Lin, I have to say that your vision is really beyond the reach of others. As early as 20 years ago, you moved the base camp of Hanhua from Fenghua in the mainland to Xunyang, and circled 10,000 acres of land in one go. Do you know that now the officials of Xunyang City feel painful when they talk about the 10,000 acres of land. ”

"Haha, when they sold me the land, they took me for a fool." Lin Zhenhua smirked.

At that time, Lin Zhenhua suggested that the then mayor Hong Yu'an establish an economic and technological development zone on the banks of the Yangtze River on the outskirts of the city, but officials in Xunyang were not optimistic about the prospects of the development zone. When Lin Zhenhua proposed to enclose 10,000 acres of land, the officials in Xunyang had a feeling of throwing off their burdens, and almost gave these lands to Hanhua at the price of selling cabbage.

More than ten years have passed, and the scope of the economic and technological development zone has expanded several times compared with the past, and the land price has soared from a few thousand yuan per mu to hundreds of thousands of mu. When Hanhua won the 10,000 acres of land, it only cost tens of millions, if you want to take these lands now, you will get dozens of billions, do you say that the officials in Xunyang can not regret their intestines? ..., then again, if Hanhua had not built a factory here, then the Xunnan Industrial Belt with every inch of land would not have been formed so early, and Xunyang City would not have been able to leave Hanhua with cheap land, in fact, it could not be regarded as a loss.

The river wheel went down the river and arrived in Xunyang the next day. As soon as Lin Zhenhua got off the boat, he received a call from the group office, asking him to rush to the city government, where the governor was waiting for him.

The current governor of Jiangnan Province is the mayor of Xunyang, Hong Yu'an, who was promoted, which is not unrelated to Xunyang's economic achievements, in other words, it is also related to the development of Hanhua. Hong Yu'an knows this well and knows that Lin Zhenhua is a noble person on his way, so whether it is during his tenure as mayor of Xunyang or after he has become the governor, he has always taken good care of Hanhua, and from time to time he will invite Lin Zhenhua to sit with him and chat.

This time, Hong Yu'an made a special trip to Xunyang to inspect the construction work of the development zone, as in the past, as soon as he arrived in Xunyang, he asked the secretary to contact Hanhua Heavy Industry and asked Lin Zhenhua to go to the municipal government for an interview.

"Mr. Lin, you are really a noble person to invite. The day before yesterday, I asked the secretary to contact your group office, and your office said that you would be able to come back yesterday. As a result, I was notified at short notice yesterday that you would not be able to come back today. I've been in Xunyang for one more day, waiting for you. When Lin Zhenhua came to the small conference room of the municipal government, Hong Yu'an said to him in an exaggerated tone.

The Xunyang officials who accompanied Lin Zhenhua were full of envy and jealousy, you know, when the governor spoke to them, he had never had such a close attitude.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept Hong Province waiting." Lin Zhenhua repeatedly bowed to Hong Yu'an, "I originally said that I came back yesterday, but there was a little thing in Jingxi that needed to be finished, so I delayed it for a day." Our office is also true, the governor summoned me for such a big thing, they didn't even inform me, I went back and removed the head of the office. ”

"Pull it down, I heard that your office director Bi Min started with you, you trust her more than your wife, and you are still willing to remove her?" Hong Yu'an revealed.

The dignified governor actually made such an ambiguous joke with Lin Zhenhua in public, which is really surprising. Everyone was stunned, and they laughed together, and made fun of the governor, although there was nothing particularly funny about it.

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said with a smile: "Governor Hong, I know I was wrong, so you can forgive me." If Yang Xin hears this, I will have to kneel on the keyboard when I go back. ”

After the joke was made, everyone sat down, and Lin Zhenhua asked, "Governor Hong, you summoned me this time, do you have any specific instructions?" ”

Hong Yu'an said: "Don't you dare to have instructions, I just heard that you have been in Chutian Province in recent months, what's the matter, does the group have a project over there?" ”

"Well...... this" Lin Zhenhua was embarrassed, and he wouldn't believe it if he was killed, Hong Yu'an would not know about his trip to Jingxi. Hong Yu'an asked so knowingly, obviously he had some opinions on his going to Jingxi to help the poor, but it was inconvenient to say it directly, so he expressed it in this way.

"Governor Hong, that's the case, the mayor of Jingxi City, Chutian Province has come to me......" Lin Zhenhua simply told Hong Yu'an about meeting Yue Jianhua in Jinling, and finally said: "Our group has always attached importance to undertaking social obligations, and the leadership of our group is very sympathetic to the poverty situation in Jingxi after learning about the poverty situation in Jingxi, and thinks that our group should do something within its power for the people of Jingxi, so I went over." By the way, Governor Hong, you haven't been to Jingxi to see, it's really too poor, compared with the outside of the mountain, it's a century behind. ..., Hong Yu'an nodded and said: "Undertaking social obligations is what enterprises should do, and in this regard, you Hanhua can be called a model for our enterprises in Jiangnan Province." However, you said that Jingxi is poor, and we also have poor counties in Jiangnan Province, should you also pay attention to the poverty alleviation work at your doorstep? ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Governor Hong, we Hanhua will help the poor counties and cities in the province every year, and there are thousands of recruitment quotas set aside for the poor counties and cities every year. In addition, under the wise leadership of Governor Hong, our Jiangnan Province has a thriving economy, and poor areas like Jingxi have been completely eliminated, and we can't find a target for poverty alleviation. ”

Lin Zhenhua's later sentence is a complete sycophant. Jiangnan Province's economic development in recent years has been good, even if it is a poor county or city, it is just a poor hat, in fact, the living standards of the people are not low, much stronger than Jingxi, this is a fact. However, the economic development of Jiangnan Province is due to the fact that Jiangnan Province is located between the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, which can be radiated by the economic development of the two deltas, and on the other hand, because of the formation of the Xunnan Industrial Belt, which has driven the economic development of the province. If you want to talk about contributions, Lin Zhenhua's contribution may be more than Hong Yu'an's.

However, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn. Hearing Lin Zhenhua's words, Hong Yu'an couldn't help laughing, naturally it was not good to hold Lin Zhenhua responsible for going to Chutian Province to help the poor. In fact, he had already let people know in advance, knowing that Hanhua had only built a few small factories in Jingxi, and the investment was not too much, and Hong Yu'an didn't see the money. This time, he knocked Lin Zhenhua, just to remind him not to lead the fertilizer water to outsiders' fields.

"Xiaolin, I came to Xunyang this time, but I made a special trip to you, the chairman, to give me an idea. You support the poverty alleviation work of fraternal provinces and cities, and this is as it should be. However, shouldn't we also devote some energy to caring about our own development in Jiangnan Province? At present, all provinces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are vigorously attracting investment, and our Jiangnan Province is lagging behind in this regard. I'm the governor of the province, but I'm in my eyes and anxious. Hong Yu'an said.
