Chapter Eighty-Six: New Year, New Weather

When one summary meeting and activity after another came, Lu Zhengdong realized that the Spring Festival had come, and the year seemed to pass in a blink of an eye.

The holidays always pass quickly, and Lu Zhengdong was in the capital to accompany Xueyu during the Spring Festival under his mother's strong "order", but before returning to Beihu, he still went back to Xihe, in addition to visiting his mother, he also had to comfort Lin Donghe, Shen Rushuang sisters, and Yang Xue sisters. After returning to Beihu and having a cadre meeting, Zhou Shuming communicated with him once, and the two sides also gave some truth on some things, which also made Lu Zhengdong have some bottoms.

In a reception room, on the stairs slightly raised by the south window, a row of black leather sofas showed a solemn style, and Lu Zhengdong talked with Hong Zhilu, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"Secretary Zhilu, Secretary Shuming just called, and there is still a little matter to deal with, let's talk about it first."

Hong Zhilu smiled slightly, just nodded, Lu Zhengdong wanted to talk to him about how the Commission for Discipline Inspection supervises the high-speed kilometers, and Lu Zhengdong's general idea He also knew, that is, to use the expressway as a pilot, with the Commission for Discipline Inspection as the leading, and the Joint Audit and Supervision Bureau to supervise the whole process, which made Hong Zhilu a little confused and a little vigilant, and he also thought about it for a long time before coming here.

The transportation sector can be said to be one of the hardest hit areas of corruption and bribery, the province has not had such a large-scale project before, since the early nineties several directors are "former corruption and succession", and an accident is implicated, until the last few years this situation has been curbed.

What's even more headache is that such a big project is surrounded by wolves, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, whether it's from the city, the province or even the capital. The water is too deep. Lu Zhengdong did this to let him block the bullet in front or use him as a shield. In this case, if something happens, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will have to carry it out.

Of course, the advantage is that it can also establish the authority of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and make some new attempts in this regard that have never been made in the whole country; if this model can be popularized throughout the country, and then implemented from top to bottom, and a system can be truly formed and slowly persisted in, then that is the first pass in anti-corruption and the method that can truly and effectively combat corruption. At this stage, several officials in the office have a completely different influence.

And what happened to Xu Liang before, although Xu Liang is a central management cadre, it is not his turn to be the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, but after all, there are a string of provincial management cadres involved, and it is impossible to say that he is the secretary of the discipline inspection committee without a little pressure, which is also an opportunity to turn disadvantages into advantages.

The pros and cons are obvious, and it's a dilemma.

Hong Zhilu weighed it, and it was difficult to decide, and he still hesitated in his heart.

Lu Zhengdong took a sip of tea, took out a copy of the material from his bag and handed it to Hong Zhilu. Said with a smile:

"Secretary Zhilu, look at this."

Hong Zhilu took a look. It is a planning amendment for the construction of a highway in the province of Bel Lake.

"If it can be implemented, the mileage of construction in the past few years will be several times that of the previous ten years."

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"Yes, the lag of transportation facilities is an important bottleneck hindering the economic development of our province, we have to find a way, spend a lot of effort to solve, think about the first highway is almost all the province's efforts, smashed the pot and sold iron to get up, it did play a great role, otherwise the situation in our province is probably worse, if you can grit your teeth, after a few years of hard life, and then through the north and south of this artery, I am afraid that the situation of Beihu Lake is much better now, but unfortunately the latecomers did not insist. Things are always better now than they were then, and we can do it. ”

At that time, the old secretary who advocated the construction of this high-speed kilometer was Bole, who promoted Hongzhi Road back then, and it is not surprising that Lu Zhengdong took it as an entry point for the conversation.

Hong Zhilu also nodded, he also knew very well that this was the old secretary's biggest regret, but not long after the road was built, the old secretary was transferred out of Beihu, and he often talked about this matter after leaving Beihu for many years.

"How much money does this need, not to mention pinching the belt of our pants, even our Beihu family, it is not enough to smash the pot and sell iron, such a large-scale loan, it is estimated that the bank will take a detour when you see the governor, and it is estimated that the governor is behind the scenes, you are called Lu Jianchou......"

Hong Zhilu was a rare joke, in fact, he was not sure in his heart whether Lu Zhengdong was your mind, so he was like this.

Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but laugh when he heard it:

"Secretary Zhilu seems to know the people of the bank very well, the bank is a typical dislike of the poor and love the rich, our Beihu foundation is thin, those bank headquarters in the capital do not want to see us, really want to find such a thing to find the door is estimated to really have to avoid me, want to increase the loan amount from them, it is indeed impossible to borrow so much money. As for the financial funds in the province, there are still many things to face, and it is impossible to invest in them. ”

Hong Zhilu glanced at Lu Zhengdong, since Lu Zhengdong showed him this, he must have some solution, and he was also aroused:

"If you don't use financial funds or borrow money to operate, where will the money come from?"

Lu Zhengdong said with a smile:

"In addition to banks, there are still some other institutions that are also very rich, such as social security, some funds from insurance companies, and the funds that run through the north and south arteries of Beihu Lake have generally been settled......

"Oh...... That's a good idea, but I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"That's the life saving money of retirees and the money of insurance companies, and it is also quite strict in ensuring the safety of funds, and the other party must also see if we can come up with some citizen measures to ensure the safety of their funds."

Lu Zhengdong paused and said:

"There is also a very important point, we do not have enough financial resources to speed up the construction of this area, but also to raise through multiple channels, for a place like our Beihu only to be an early bird, in others have not had time to find the opportunity to make a fuss, if we in this area of management and supervision is not in place, someone drilled a leak, direct and indirect losses must be a lot, or there is a relatively big problem, I am afraid that it is also scared that the real willing to participate in the fund holders are discouraged, the opportunity is rare, If that's the case. The early bird has become the late bird. You may miss another great opportunity for transportation development. And then it will affect the overall development of Bay Lake, and if that is the case, then we will become sinners of history......"

Lu Zhengdong said with some emotion, Hong Zhilu looked at Lu Zhengdong, and also sighed with some emotion, it can be seen that Lu Zhengdong is also really determined to improve the traffic of Beihu and the economy of Beihu. But to push him to the front line, he still has no bottom in his heart......

Hong Zhilu was thinking about it, and Lu Zhengdong slowly opened his mouth again:

"When I went back to the capital during the Spring Festival, I met Secretary Shan Yue of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Secretary Shan Yue said that the case of Xu Liang and others had a profound lesson, and now Beihu is in a critical period of development, and we should pay more attention to the construction ...... in this regard."

Hong Zhilu also said:

"Yes, it is indeed a profound lesson, and it is true that I need to further strengthen this aspect......"

Hong Zhilu understood the meaning of Lu Zhengdong's words, that is, this matter could be operated through the pilot of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, so that he would not have too much pressure. This is still something to consider.

The two of them talked, and after a while. Zhou Shuming finally arrived, and after the two of them got up to greet Zhou Shuming and sat down, Zhou Shuming did not make a detour, and also clearly expressed this meaning, saying that he would fully support Hong Zhilu's work in this regard. After the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has made some statements, it will also be discussed at the Standing Committee.

The secretary and the governor also have the same attitude on this issue, with the approval of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, with the full support of the first and second leaders in the province, both the sword of Shang Fang in their hands, and the pressure is much smaller, Hong Zhilu has the bottom in his heart, of course, Hong Zhilu also has a little doubt in his heart, although this infrastructure construction is an important magic weapon to stimulate the economy, the construction of the highway network is beneficial to the present generation, and the merit is a matter for the future.

Of course, there is a reason for this, Zhou Shuming's biggest heart problem is Luo Fuli's matter, in the previous communication, Lu Zhengdong expressed his support for Luo Fuli to go outside to "break through", which is undoubtedly the best news for Zhou Shuming, of course, Zhou Shuming didn't know that Lu Zhengdong was more important to the long-term before making such a decision, in Zhou Shuming's opinion, Lu Zhengdong made a heavy compromise, naturally hoping that in exchange, he must also give Lu Zhengdong some corresponding responses, so that Lu Zhengdong can really do it, That's one of the responses.

After returning to Beihu, Lu Zhengdong officially announced at a meeting after the festival that the construction of the provincial expressway would be accelerated, and announced that the expressway through Beihu Lake had entered the substantive preparatory stage.

The news has been rumored in the province for a long time, but the official announcement is still exciting, especially along the highways.

The first expressway to be launched will not only run through Beihu, but also connect with the highway belt from other provinces to the south.

In recent years, Beihu Lake has mainly wanted to open up the external channel to the southwest and the Yangtze River Delta to the east, and the completion of this highway means that the Pearl River Delta has also opened up the sea mouth.

Strengthening the connection, linkage and cooperation with developed areas is undoubtedly an important factor in promoting the economic development of Beihu Lake, which is located inland, and the development of export-oriented economy and the introduction of foreign investment are very important for Beihu Lake, which is located inland.

Several leaders before Lu Zhengdong focused on promoting the construction of an outlet to the sea in the southwest and strengthening cooperation with the Yangtze River Delta.

For the Yangtze River Delta, many people feel that it is better than the Pearl River Delta, especially the Beihu people, who are deeply impressed by the quality of the products produced in Pujiang during the planned economy period.

For many Beihu people, although Pujiang people have many problems such as stinginess and look down on outsiders, but generally speaking, it is still okay, but the impression left on them by those who are chattering is even worse, the Pearl River Delta is like a nouveau riche, not as rich as the Yangtze River Delta, plus such a layer of relationship with the planned economy before, the first reaction of many Beihu people is still the Yangtze River Delta, not to mention that the development of the Yangtze River Delta in recent years is in the limelight, and it is the time to be sought after. Therefore, many leaders take strengthening the connection with the Yangtze River Delta as the first choice.

But in fact, you can understand by looking at the map, the Pearl River Delta to the Beihu Lake straight-line distance is only more than 600 kilometers, is half of the Yangtze River Delta and the Beihu Lake, as for the southwest border of the sea, although the straight-line distance is close, but the southwest is a mountainous area, the actual high-speed kilometers built are only nearly two or three hundred kilometers than the Yangtze River Delta, after the opening of this highway, from the West Plains to Huacheng is only more than 700 kilometers, and it only takes about seven hours to drive.

Lu Zhengdong thus talked about the province's work of attracting investment.

Lu Zhengdong just finished talking about the expressway and talked about attracting investment, which can't help but make many people think deeply, this is not only an additional passage to the sea and an additional link with developed areas. But which developed area can really play a greater role in the development of Beihu?

After the opening of the highway to Pujiang. Over the years, Beihu Lake has also been full of confidence. I have exchanged views with the Yangtze River Delta on strengthening economic ties, and I also want to attract investment from the Yangtze River Delta, especially after the industrial transfer is proposed, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to undertake some industrial transfer in these regions.

But it is very embarrassing that this kind of cooperation is a typical political hot and economic cold, and the governments of both sides still have such a will, but the market does not sell it, so far there is no effect, and the Yangtze River Delta region's investment in Beihu is still pitiful.

There must be many reasons for this. However, the main reason is that the economies of the two sides are relatively lacking in complementarity, and the economic structure of the two sides is not compatible, and another very important reason is that the industrial transfer is basically labor-intensive and resource-intensive enterprises, and the vast majority of these enterprises are private enterprises and private capital.

Lu Zhengdong said at the meeting that in addition to cost and resource considerations, these private enterprises and capital will also consider some other related supporting things.

Lu Zhengdong put forward a point of view: Beihu has cheap labor and is fully capable of undertaking such an industrial transfer. But that's not enough.

"Many people simply understand industrial transfer as the transfer of production, which is very one-sided......"

Lu Zhengdong emphasized. After the large-scale development of the western region was proposed, the issue of industrial transfer in developed areas was raised, but Beihu Lake was obviously not enough in this regard, and the main reason was that there was a zĂ i deviation in the understanding of industrial transfer.

"The industrial transfer undertaking in the sense of real success should be based on undertaking the production process, and at the same time, the introduction of design, creativity, and science and technology as the direction to drive the entire process of industrial upgrading."

A very important feature of industrial transfer is that the upstream and downstream industries that are interrelated are easy to concentrate in a certain geographical location, localized procurement, localized production and, localized sales, that is, not only to facilitate procurement, facilitate production, but also to have a relatively mature market, or have the potential to develop such enterprises will be more interested in this.

There is no shortage of these lakes, and the geographical location of the lakes determines that they have a market radiation to the populous and vast central region.

It is no exaggeration to say that although many industries are centered in the east and south, the center of gravity of industrial resources is in the central and western regions. This also indicates that this industrial transfer will be a transfer of the entire industrial chain, not just a single link. Perhaps in a short period of time, these raw material origins have not been able to establish a supporting software and hardware system, but will develop in this direction, and eventually form a link in the industrial chain as the cornerstone, so as to drive the entire industry upstream and downstream to a certain region to concentrate, and finally form a complete industrial chain, which is more economical in terms of cost, which is particularly important for labor-intensive and resource-intensive enterprises, which is a very important demand in industrial transfer.

Under the condition of keeping up with the market, it will be the future trend to undertake the transfer of all aspects of the industry including design, creativity and advanced technology and technology, and to create a perfect industrial chain, so as to drive the secondary upgrading of the entire regional industry.

Guided by economic laws and guided by market demand, how to find a planning route for industrial transfer that conforms to the objective reality of Beihu, so as to achieve a targeted goal and win more opportunities for industrial transfer......

After the meeting was adjourned, the people below dispersed in twos and threes while also discussing.

"I heard that these highways are not ready to spend financial funds, which is unimaginable, Governor Lu is really enough, so that the highway network of Beihu will basically form a scale in a few years, and such a key infrastructure construction is timely for the whole province. The New Year is a new year! ”

A cadre of a department or bureau in the province smiled and said with emotion to a prefectural mayor.

"Yes, our city has long been looking forward to the early completion of the expressway, and after so many years, now we finally have a letter. It seems that this time it should be feasible, and our city must also start working on this, otherwise it will be really on the ground when the time comes, but it will be stuck in our city, and it will be difficult to say. ”

"Yes, there is such a governor who really understands the economy, our work is much better, and this undertakes industrial transfer, our city is also very hard, the staff of investment promotion is stationed in the Yangtze River Delta all the year round but has little effect, the city is also puzzled, listen to the words of Governor Lu, only to know that it was completely headless flies before the beginning, and now we have figured out the direction, we Beihu is still the south of the east and west, in the future not only to look to the east, but also to the south."

Although Lu Zhengdong did not take Beihu's economic aggregate catching up with Shanqin seriously, but for the people below, it is not seen that way, Beihu has not achieved so many things, and even at the beginning of last year, there was no sign of this, but Lu Zhengdong did it, in their opinion, this is a miracle, with this foundation, the people below are more convinced of some of the policies and measures proposed by Lu Zhengdong...... (To be continued......)
