Steel Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 729: go north

The train arrived at Shimen at dawn, and the sky was not yet fully bright, and there was a thin mist running on the platform.

Walking out of the warm carriage, the cold wind blew, causing Cheng Yi, who had not yet fully woken up, to shudder. She grabbed the mohair knitted cardigan jacket with both hands, and looked at the old platform, a little surprised: "This is the Shimen?"

The urban construction development of Xucheng is already very bad in the eastern coastal area, but Shimen is even worse than Xucheng. It does not have the style of the provincial capital city that Cheng Yi imagined. Looking at Cheng Yi's slightly disappointed face, Shen Huaishen He stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Well, this is Shimen. Logically speaking, it should be an important place in Gyeonggi, but it is a city ignored by the public..."

In terms of total economic output, Hebei Province is stronger than Huaihai, but the large-scale industries in Hebei Province are mainly concentrated in the northern region of Hebei, and the hinterland along the Bohai Bay in the middle is hollowed out by the two municipalities directly under the Central Government, Yanjing and Jinhai, making the In the central and southern regions of Hebei Province, the economic development lags far behind.

Even the provincial capital, Shimen, has a very general development. At present, it can only be a medium-sized city in the country, and it does not have the style of a coastal provincial capital city imagined by ordinary people.

Although many people have high hopes for Cheng Yi and her father to revitalize the economy of southern Hebei, Shen Huai stood on the platform in Shimen City, looking around the lonely morning scene around the platform, secretly feeling that revitalizing the economy of southern Hebei is really a long way to go. what.

But when it comes to revitalization, it also depends on what standards.

The history of Shimen City is not long. It is located in the heart of the North China Plain. Because the Beijing-Guangzhou and Shitai-Taiwan railways intersect in the territory, it is prosperous as a land transportation hub in the Shanxi-Hebei region. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shimen has experienced great industrial development, but in recent years, local state-owned enterprises have fallen into difficulties as a whole, which has brought a large part of the economic development to the provincial capital cities in the south.

It is hoped that the economic development of Shimen City can surpass that of Jiangning, Zhenhai and other cities. There are inherent deficiencies in many conditions.

However, Cheng Yi's father came to Hebei Province to serve as the governor, and his vision would not be limited to Shimen, the provincial capital. While adjusting the industrial structure in northern Hebei, he promoted the rapid development of the economy in southern Hebei, even if it was a success.

At this moment, I saw Chen Yongjun, who was trusted by Cheng Yi's father, accompanied by two staff members, came here, Shen Huai and Cheng Yi came over and said, "What is it? It's Secretary-General Chen, you come to pick it up in person. I'll just take a taxi with Cheng Yi."

Chen Yongjun said with a smile: "I am familiar with Shimen, and the drivers may not be able to touch the road; in addition, the taxi drivers at the railway station are not authentic, and they will take you around a long way, and there is nowhere to complain... …”

Shen Huai also smiled. If he and Cheng Yi slaughtered the taxi driver waiting by the train station, they would seem to be making too much of a fuss to mention the name of the provincial governor.

The two staff members who accompanied Chen Yongjun were in their thirties. One called himself "Xiao Han" and the other called himself "Xiao Feng". They enthusiastically took the suitcase from Shen Huai's hand.

Chen Yongjun saw that no one else came down from the carriage, and asked strangely: "Why, just the two of you, didn't you come here together?"

"They, they changed trains halfway and went directly to Qinghe," Shen Huai said, "I will accompany Chengyi to Shimen. If there is a car in the afternoon, I will also go to Qinghe."

"Don't be in such a hurry, stay in Shimen for two more days..." Chen Yongjun said with a smile, asking Shen Huai and Cheng Yi to go outside the platform with him.

Shen Huai and Cheng Yi came to Shimen together, nominally to visit relatives, but in fact it was mainly because of the tacit understanding formed with the Ji family before, and now they have to do some practical work.

Formal cooperation between local governments is mainly to promote Jihe Port and Xinpu Port to form a friendly port, and strengthen cooperation in economy, trade and industrial development. This time, led by Zhao Tianming and Dai Quan, they held an exchange meeting with Jihe County Association on port construction and port industry development.

The exchange meeting will be held for a few days. Shen Huai and Ji Chengxi can show up at that time. There is no need to participate in the whole exchange activity, so he and Cheng Yi came to visit Cheng Yi's parents first.

Even if Meigang wants to participate more in the development of southern Hebei and Qinghe in the future, it must first respect Cheng Yi's father's opinion.

Shimen is a small city, and there are no cars on the street at dawn. It takes seven or eight minutes to drive from the railway station to the provincial party committee compound. Armed police are on duty at the entrance of the provincial party committee compound, and they meticulously check the identities of Shen Huai and Cheng Yi. , There was no sound in the courtyard.

The mist drifted over the top of the forest, and most of the people were still sleeping. Occasionally, they saw a few households with their lights on, and they saw ordinary houses through the fence. There was nothing surprising or luxurious. , so that ordinary people can't imagine that these ordinary-looking residents in the compound are actually the spires of the power pyramid of Ji Province.

Cheng Yi's father also came to Shimen in the past two days, just after the transfer of duties, and everything has not yet settled down.

The gate of the courtyard is so small that the car could not get out. It stopped by the corridor outside the garden. Chen Yongjun pushed open the iron gate in front. Shen Huai and Cheng Yi walked into the courtyard. Probably Cheng Wenguang heard the movement and pushed open the door of the study to the eaves of the porch. Going down, he said with a smile: "The train is not late. We came from Yanjing, and in order to experience it, we took the train specially. It's an hour late at this point..."

"We're okay. During this time, the trains going north are not dense, and the lines are not tense." Shen Huai said.

"Where's Mom?" Cheng Yi asked her father when she heard her mother, Liu Xuemei, respond inside, "I'm helping you make breakfast," she asked as she wiped her hands with the scarf tied around her waist, walking out, "Have you slept well on the train, or have you eaten breakfast and made up your sleep at home in the morning?"

"I didn't sleep well. If I don't have anything to do, I'll be in charge of sleeping in the morning." Cheng Yi said, she rarely takes the train. She didn't sleep well last night, and now she yawns.

"Where's Shen Huai? How did you sleep at night?" Liu Xuemei now regards Shen Huai as her son-in-law and cares about it.

"He slept like a dead pig. I just saw that the more sound he slept, the less he could sleep..." Cheng Yi said.

Liu Xuemei beat Cheng Yi to stop her from talking nonsense, and said, "People are sleeping soundly, but are they preventing you from sleeping?"

"I'm already fine, I didn't even pull him up to talk to me." Cheng Yi was in front of her mother, like a coquettish little girl, pushed her back, and went into the house to help make breakfast.

Cheng Wenguang's leading cadres, even after retirement, enjoy the same living and political benefits. It's just that Cheng Wenguang's transfer this time was quite abrupt. Something happened at the house of the nanny who was used to it at home, and he couldn't follow him at the same time.

Cheng Wenguang and Liu Xuemei didn't want to use the people recommended by the Hebei Provincial Government Office to enter their family's life, so during this period of their daily life, Liu Xuemei had to take care of themselves. Not to mention the hard work, Liu Xuemei's work transfer still lags behind a bit, and she is also idle when she is idle.

When Cheng Wenguang first arrived in Hebei Province, he would be in a hurry for a while. Even if Shen Huai came over, he would not have much time to talk to him. Cheng Yi and her mother were going to have breakfast, and Cheng Wenguang asked Shen Huai to talk directly to him. Talk to him in the study.

When he sat down in the study, Shen Huai told Cheng Wenguang about the changes in Donghua's situation during this period of time, especially the fact that Guo Chengze had aggressively attacked Chen Baoqi when he got off the bus in Donghua.

Cheng Wenguang nodded. He didn't know Guo Chengze or Meng Jiansheng, but he knew that Guo Chengze embodied Xu Pei's will. He was familiar with Xu Pei and told Shen Huai:

"When Xu Pei was in Jinhai, his work style was very tough, and he was very popular with Premier Wang Yuan. When Xu Pei was able to go to Huaihai Province, it was also Wang Yuan who asked Tian Jiageng to bring Xu Pei to be an assistant. Wang Yuan always wanted to promote the central and western regions. For development, it seems that Tian Jiageng will be transferred to East Sichuan as a secretary, but there is no plan to arrange another person to go to Huaihai, but Xu Pei may be reused..."

Shen Huai still only knew that Tian Jiageng would go to Secretary Chuandong, and said, "Then Secretary Tian Jiageng has no way to enter the Politburo this time?"

"There is no other way. There are only a few seats, and there are too many people competing. Although the cadres promoted by Premier Wang Yuan occupy more prominent positions in the Jingjingkou, they still have to be overwhelmed by others when it comes to their qualifications." Cheng Wenguang said.

Shen Huai was able to have more in-depth contact with high-level people in the party, but when it comes to politicians' bearing and ability to govern, he hopes that Tian Jiageng can join the Politburo and jointly grasp the direction of China's future development - thinking of Wang Yuan's next Xu Pei will be reused in Huaihai. Although it does not mean that Zhao Qiuhua, who has the former Premier Hu Zhicheng's trust, will sit still, but a fierce fight between Xu Pei and Zhao Qiuhua is indispensable, which is beneficial to Meigang in Donghua and Huaihai Province. , The biggest variable now is the candidate who will succeed Tian Jiageng as secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee. There has been no news of preparation.

"When it comes to succeeding Tian Jiageng as secretary in Huaihai, there are two or three names circulating, and there are still great variables," Cheng Wenguang said. "For a period of time in the future, the environment of Huaihai will also be conducive to the further development of Meigang and Huaineng Group. When you are in Huaihai, you should also take the initiative to communicate with Ye Xuanfeng. If you can negotiate, it is possible to negotiate, but you still need to talk, and don’t let outsiders have the opportunity to watch the fun…”

Shen Huai smiled bitterly and said, "I'd rather go to Ye Xuanfeng to talk, but Ye Xuanfeng is eager to win over Sun Qiyi these days. When Sun Qiyi was in Xucheng, he was eager to let Xie Haicheng run over to be a lobbyist overnight, and Sun Qiyi rushed back. Hong Kong, when he had no time to meet, he rushed to Hong Kong for a business trip. The two of them finally met in Hong Kong, and they thought I was kept in the dark. Ye Xuanfeng didn't say what his intentions were, but I guess he wanted to let the Evergreen Group Take over the construction of the Jihe Coal Dock…”

"I went to Jihe on the first day, and Ji Chengxi also came to Shihe. I talked to him, but he was more inclined to Meigang to take over the construction of the coal terminal in Jihe. It really doesn't work, let Ji Chengxi come forward to do Ye's work." Cheng Wen Light said.

The 4 million-ton coal handling terminal on the Jihe River was a cooperation project negotiated three years ago, mainly invested and constructed by Huaineng Group.

At the end of last year, the Song Dynasty internally determined the development strategy of Huaineng Coal going east. Under the Huaineng Group, the Huaineng Coal Industry was established to enter Huaixi to develop coal resources. The impetus to build a coal terminal in the Jihe River was lost all of a sudden.

Huaineng Group will not count on the supply of thermal coal resources on the Jihe side in the future~lightnovelpub.net~ and after the establishment of Huaineng Coal Industry, the internal development funds are also tight, and the construction speed of the coal transportation terminal in Jihe will be put down immediately. Slow down, and now less than half of the construction.

Shen Huai thought that Meigang would continue to invest funds in the construction of the Jihe Port Coal Handling Terminal, which could be regarded as practical support for Cheng Wenguang's work in Hebei Province, and maintain a tacit understanding of economic and trade cooperation with the Ji family.

Shen Huai never thought that Ye Xuanfeng didn't want to continue building the coal terminal, nor did he want Mei Gang to take over, but he needed to explain to the Song family or the Ji family, so he wanted to find Sun Qiyi to persuade the senior management of the Evergreen Group to expand in the mainland. port investment business.

The senior management of Changqing Group really wanted to be persuaded, and finally decided to expand the port investment business in the mainland, and took over the construction of the Jihe Port coal terminal from Huaineng Group. The business plan will also be completely ruined.

Shen Huai didn't intend to show some emotions. He came to Ji Province this time to give help, not to seek help. He spread his hands and said, "I don't care anymore, and I have no intention of bypassing Sun Qiyi and going to the top of the Evergreen Group. ——The matter of the coal handling terminal cannot be settled this time, but it is possible to determine the steel logistics park project in Qinghe first. The investment is not large, and it looks like ** 10 million. After the completion, it will also help the products of Meishan Iron and Steel to enter the market in southern Hebei... ..." l3l4
