Two days later, on the matter of moving the provincial capital, Duan Gaohang convened the Standing Committee. At the beginning of the meeting, he threw the topic to Pan Baoshan.

Pan Baoshan analyzed the current development pattern of Ruidong, pointing out that there is a gap between the north and the south, and it is showing signs of intensification.

"This situation is a great disadvantage for Ruidong's long-term development, which will lead to the so-called 'short leg effect', which makes it impossible to run fast or far." Pan Baoshan's slow pace of speech fully shows his thoughtfulness and importance to this issue, "Therefore, I think it is necessary to move the provincial capital to the north to Songyang and gradually drive the economic center of gravity to extend northward." ”

"Development should take into account the long-term, and it is necessary to make use of the intervention effect of the government to promote the equalization of economic development and achieve the overall improvement of the economy. From this point of view, Governor Pan's view does have a certain degree of reasonableness. Duan Gaohang's tone was also very stable, completely devoid of the previous hostile posture, "However, we must also see the constraints of the actual conditions, although the development of the Ruibei region is currently showing a thriving trend, but in all aspects of the carrying capacity, it is still relatively weak, that is, there is a lack of support, and the provincial capital moves north, I am afraid there are many inappropriate." ”

"What Secretary Duan means is that he is afraid that after the relocation of the provincial capital, Ruibei will not be able to open up a good situation of development, and Ruinan will encounter a 'cold snap' of development?" Pan Baoshan asked with a smile.

"There are concerns about that." Duan Gaohang nodded deeply.

"I have a different opinion on this." Pan Baoshan said, "The development of the Ruinan area has become a climate, and it has been quite mature in terms of the development elements of the environment and carriers. The rise of the surrounding urban agglomerations is a good illustration. It can be said that the influence of the provincial capital has not played its due role. On the contrary, for the Ruibei region, it is the need for a long drought and rain, and the entry of the provincial capital will inevitably bring new weather, new impetus and new growth poles. ”

"Hmm." Duan Gaohang nodded, not in a hurry to directly object, he picked up the teacup and put it down again, "If you follow Governor Pan's ideas, then can you consider moving the provincial capital west?" There are differences between the north and the south in the development of Ruidong, and there are also differences between the east and the west. ”

"From a geographical point of view, the stretch of Ruidong in the east and west is far less elastic than that of the north and the south, and in the Ruinan area alone, the gap between the east and the west is far less than the north-south gap in the whole Ruidong. In addition, in terms of development potential, Ruibei has advantageous coastal resources, which can better drive regional development, so as to achieve the balanced development of the entire Ruidong Province. ”

"The topic of whether the provincial capital will be relocated will be put aside for the time being, and everyone here will ponder and think about it. Next, I will only talk about my own views on the leading role of the provincial capital, that is, how much influence the government has on the economy. ”

"Secretary Duan, today's meeting is just a discussion, after all, the relocation of the provincial capital is a complex and systematic project, and we must brainstorm ideas." Pan Baoshan smiled, "So, you can casually express your views on related topics, and in addition, I hope that in addition to Secretary Duan, everyone will also speak enthusiastically." ”

"Okay, then I'll say it." Duan Gaohang didn't want to be interrupted by Pan Baoshan for too long, and said: "Is it the city where the provincial capital is located that it will definitely be able to promote its economic take-off?" I don't think so, counting the provincial capitals of our country, the economy is not the leader. Of course, this is not absolute, and the provincial capitals of individual provinces do have certain advantages compared with cities in other provinces, but after all, that situation is still a minority. Take the country as an example, is the economy of the capital Beijing the first in the country? Also, if you look abroad, if you look at the seat of government of various states in the United States, most of them are also in cities that are not too famous, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, you should be familiar with it, right? Are you familiar with Sacrato Gate? ”

After Duan Gaohang finished speaking, he glanced at the venue. Han Yuanjie and Jia Wanzhen shook their heads one after another.

"Sacrato Gate, it's a city in California, Los Angeles, San Francisco, it's also a city in California." "However, the state capital of California is neither Los Angeles nor San Francisco, but Sacrato Gate. In the same way, the state capital of Washington state is not Seattle, but Olympia; The state capital of Texas is not Houston, but Austin; The state capital of New York is not New York, but Albany. ”

Duan Gaohang's words seemed very high, which was completely unexpected by Pan Baoshan, but fortunately, he had also made considerable preparations and could deal with it.

"Secretary Duan said it very well, but I want to add a few words." Pan Baoshan smiled, "How the provincial capital should be placed, in fact, there is no specific reference standard, let alone a reference, and specific problems have to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis." Whether it is the capital or the provincial capital, where is it located, is it the economic center, the political center or the geographical center? There are certain reasons for the formation, most of them are historical inheritance, not all of them are deliberately arranged by man, so it cannot be said that the status quo is reasonable, but because if you want to change, you will face too many difficulties. For example, in the U.S. state of Illinois, the capital city is Springfield, while Chicago, located in the northeastern part of the state, has since risen to become a transportation hub. People of insight have suggested that the state capital of Illinois is located in Springfield, which is extremely inconvenient, and it is better to move to Chicago. However, there are many people who disagree, because when the location of the state capital of the United States was originally chosen, most of them were aimed at the geographical center of the state, and it has hardly changed since the establishment of the state. Just like our Ruidong, can the provincial capital be moved? I don't think there's anything wrong with that, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country has not had no precedent, and Ruidong moved to the provincial capital, not to be the first to eat crabs, so I can't say that it's hard to understand. ”

"Governor Pan, you began to say that there is no reference standard for the resettlement of the provincial capital, let alone a reference, and finally you said that there is a precedent, isn't that a reference and reference?" Han Yuanjie couldn't help but interject.

"When I say that there will be a precedent for relocating to the province, I just say that there is the same thing, not to learn from the way people relocate." Pan Baoshan was still smiling, "We Ruidong have our own provincial conditions, and we must formulate plans and measures based on this." Just like I said about Illinois in the United States, the state capital is not a transportation hub and the economically developed Chicago, which leads to a lot of inconvenience, but it does not mean that it is most appropriate for us to have the provincial capital in front of it. After all, their respective situations are different, and they can't use the same mode of thinking to consider problems, which goes back to what I said at the beginning, to ask specific questions and treat them specifically. ”

"What do other people think?" Duan Gaohang didn't want Han Yuanjie to say more, knowing that he couldn't reach Pan Baoshan in this regard.

"In a major event like the relocation of the provincial capital, it is difficult to unify thoughts and understandings, and everyone's starting point is not the same." Jia Wanzhen spoke, "So I think it's better to think long-term." ”

"10,000 years is too long, seize the day." Pan Baoshan snorted and smiled, "Minister Jia, do you know how severe the current development form is?" If you are slow to get together, you will fall behind step by step, and you are engaged in propaganda, so you may not be able to see through it. ”

Pan Baoshan reprimanded Jia Wanzhen with a cold face, there was nothing wrong with it. But now Jia Wanzhen is not very convinced, he tugged at his lips and nodded, and said: "Maybe I haven't fully seen through, but how much can putting the provincial capital in Songyang and artificially creating a political center have on the economy?" ”

"Let me tell you what I think about this." Ding Anbang filled the position in time, "Let's not talk about whether the provincial capital can move north to drive the rapid take-off of the northern economy, but strategically speaking, it is more appropriate, from the country to the province, the real administrative and economic double center is the general trend of social development, everyone understands the truth that two eggs cannot be put in one basket, so the political and economic sectors also need to complement each other." From this point of view, I think it is appropriate for the provincial capital to move north. ”

"In this way, on the issue of moving the provincial capital, let's discuss it here today, Minister Jia is right, it's a matter of importance, we still have to think about it in the long run, and we will take time to think about it after the meeting." Duan Gaohang saw that the scene was about to get a little out of control, so he braked in time, "At the end of the year, there are many things, and the summary and deployment of all lines and lines are very tense, so we need to concentrate on dealing with it, and the issue of moving the provincial capital will come to an end first." ”

Duan Gaohang said that he would terminate the discussion, and Pan Baoshan had no opinion, the original purpose was to provoke the matter, not to achieve a decisive victory. But even so, it still caused Duan Gaohang's panic, and he vaguely felt that Pan Baoshan's seemingly peaceful posture was determined to win.

Han Yuanjie also felt the same way, and after the meeting, he discussed with Duan Gaohang whether he should create some trouble for Pan Baoshan and distract him from his energy, so that he had no time to take care of the matter of moving the provincial capital.

"What do you want?" Duan Gaohang felt that it was also necessary.

"On the matter of moving the provincial capital that he advocates, create external contradictions." Han Yuanjie said, "The northward relocation of the provincial capital is bound to have a negative impact on Shuangxunmian New Town, and before Jiangshan Group threw out the new city, it cannot but be said to be a practice that harms others and benefits oneself." For Jiuda Real Estate, which took over, it must be very dissatisfied. We can make some moves against Jiangshan Group, make Pan Baoshan anxious, and then blame Jiuda Real Estate, in that way, Pan Baoshan will find a way to subdue Jiuda Real Estate. Secretary Duan, do you think that the provincial capital will be relocated after Jiuda Real Estate takes over the new city, and it is already on fire in the buttocks, coupled with Pan Baoshan's 'intensified' suppression, where can you calm down? And Hu Guancheng of Jiuda Real Estate is not a good stubble at all, so there will definitely be a vicious battle at that time. ”

"If the development of things can really be as you say, it will definitely distract a large part of Pan Baoshan's energy." Duan Gao Channel, "The key is how to implement, don't end up getting into trouble, but it's more troublesome." ”

"Let He Qingtang do this, it should be no problem." "Even if there is a problem, it will not spread, and it will not expand the impact." ”

"Hmm." Duan Gaohang nodded, and was just about to speak, when there was a knock on the door.

Jia Wanzhen came, and when he entered the door, he found that Han Yuanjie was there, and his expression was slightly uncomfortable, but he immediately raised his smiling face.
