Chapter 643: Carved Bow Heavenly Wolf
China's dream of a strong country starts with transportation!
The railway has always been the most important means of transportation in the history of Chinese transportation.
From the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway in the Qing Dynasty, it is now a railway with a total length of 72,000 kilometers, four vertical and four horizontal, and the world's largest transportation density!
In particular, the Beijing-Shanghai line, with 2% of the country's business lines, bears 10.2% of the country's passenger turnover and 7.6% of the country's cargo turnover, making it the busiest trunk line in China and even the world!
However, it should also be noted that problems such as poor quality of the road network and slow train speed have been restricting the further improvement of the Beijing-Shanghai line!
The speed of railway trains not only marks the technical level of the country's railways, but also the easiest way to solve these problems!
Therefore, as early as the eighties of the last century, the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has begun to brew.
In 1990, the Ministry of Railways submitted a concept report on the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, and in 1997, the Ministry of Railways submitted the "Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway pre-feasibility study report supplemental research report", and formally submitted the project proposal, in 1998, the commission led seven ministries and commissions to study and agree, in principle, to agree to the construction.
Although the project was agreed in principle, it was far from simple to really approve the construction.
There are extremely complex issues and conflicting interests behind it.
There are three main levels of controversy.
First, although high-speed rail is good, the investment is too big to afford it? There is no need to make it! After all, China's current per capita GDP has just exceeded 1,000 US dollars, and it is not rich, and at the same time, now ordinary railways are being electrified and accelerated, with good results, and there will be several speeds up in the future, which is expected to be mentioned up to 200 kilometers per hour, and is there any need to invest trillions of funds to build high-speed rail? Once built, how many benefits can be generated, and how many years can the cost be recovered?
These are not easy to measure at all, who can tell?
The stakes are so high, who would dare to make a decision?!
Second, what modes of transportation should be prioritized in the new century?
Rail, road or air?
It's a seesaw problem, the money plate is so big, more here and less there!
If it is diluted, it becomes a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and it may be lost at the same time, so it is still necessary to focus on it.
According to the experience and understanding of the West, the railway is already a means of transportation that is facing obsolescence.
So many years ago, the United States and Europe did not vigorously develop railways, but developed roads and aviation.
Drive on the highway for a short distance and fly for a long distance.
At this time, if you invest a lot of money in the railway, will there be any value in the future, will it be a loss-making transaction?
Thirdly, there are departmental interests behind this.
Railways, highways, and transportation are respectively controlled by the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, and the Civil Aviation Administration, and everyone wants to gain priority status, so they do everything they can to lobby in an attempt to impress the National Development and Reform Commission and even higher-level officials.
This is also a characteristic of the times, and this pattern of power division is more conducive to giving full play to the subjective initiative of the department and improving the overall construction efficiency.
But the disadvantage is that they all work in their own way, starting from their own interests, and often do not consider the overall situation.
This is also the meaning of the existence of the National Development and Reform Commission, and it is the general valve of economic construction.
During this period, the most powerful of the three departments was the Ministry of Railways, known as the "Iron Boss".
In later generations, as the infrastructure construction reached a certain stage, the state paid more attention to the macro overall planning and construction, and the three departments were merged into one and merged under the Ministry of Communications.
The Ministry of Railways became the General Railway Corporation and the State Railway Administration, and the General Administration of Civil Aviation became the Civil Aviation Administration, all of which were under the management of the Ministry of Communications.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
Therefore, this period is the time when the debate is fierce, and the final judgment depends on the National Development and Reform Commission, and the responsibility also lies on the National Development and Reform Commission.
This matter is a major matter of high-level attention, behind which is the investment of trillions of funds, related to the transportation planning and national infrastructure construction in the next ten years, and also several key tasks of the National Development and Reform Commission.
"To do a good job in this matter, we need a strong macro vision and prediction of the future, and now the Department of Transportation, the General Division, and the Economic Operation Bureau are good at undertaking separately, but what they are good at is the specific business, and such a comprehensive event, I think it takes a really level, capable, and visionary cadres to unify them and play a joint force to do this work well." Li Changjiang continued.
Li Yanqing's brows furrowed even deeper.
He knew that the reason why Li Changjiang proposed it was definitely not just for work, but to put a big burden on Liang Jiangtao.
This is a very difficult job to do, and you have to bear a huge responsibility, and if you don't do it well, you may burn yourself.
From the perspective of protecting Liang Jiangtao, of course, it is best to refuse.
But he was still a little hesitant, because he also felt deep down in his heart that no one could do this job well except Liang Jiangtao, and at the same time, this was also a huge experience, if it was done beautifully, it would definitely be a great political achievement, and it would be of great benefit to Liang Jiangtao's future.
Liang Jiangtao has made achievements in grassroots work, and if he adds the achievements of high-level decision-making, he will definitely be able to soar to the sky in the future.
Merit often comes with risk.
"Minister, I personally want to take on this work!" Liang Jiangtao said.
"Oh?" Li Yanqing looked at him.
"Thank you Minister Changjiang for your attention, Minister Yanqing, I know that this matter is very important, and my personal qualifications and abilities are lacking, but I hope to participate in it to learn, devote myself wholeheartedly, and contribute my strength!" Liang Jiangtao's tone was steady, but his eyes were firm, and his whole body was condensed.
Li Yanqing felt the strong confidence and majestic power in his heart.
Li Yanqing said: "Jiang Tao, this is not an easy job, have you thought about it?" ”
"Minister, there are many dangers and dangers, and you must not evade responsibility! Please also give me help and support, ministers! Liang Jiangtao said.
Flowers in a greenhouse never grow!
Going through the test is his motto.
What's more, this matter is very tricky for others, for him, it is simply an experience!
Isn't it the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway?
He believes that there is no one in this world who has a better voice than him!
He tried to calm his mind and not let himself show excitement.
"Okay, since that's the case, then set up a special work class, Liang Jiangtao...... Lead, people, you pick! If you have any difficulties, report to the party group of the committee in time! Li Yanqing commanded.
Looking at Liang Jiangtao's enthusiasm, Li Yanqing also understood, there was no need to take too much care of him.
After taking care of it, it's just pulling back the legs!
He is no longer a little sapling, but a real man and an iron man, let him grow in the wind and rain!
It's also the perfect environment for him!
Originally, he wanted to say that it was the team leader, but after hesitating, he still said the leader.
In this way, you can advance or retreat, leaving room for improvement.
"Okay, if there is anything I need to do here, Jiang Tao is not polite, just mention it!" Li Changjiang said, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
........
"Minister, you have a good move!" Shao Xiaojun said.
This is a naked slaughter!
Put such a heavy task on Liang Jiangtao's shoulders, if you don't believe him, you won't collapse!
"The young man can't be provoked, this trick is called the Eagle Bow Wolf!"
