Chapter 579 Hong Yuan's Beating
After leaving Jingxi, Lin Zhenhua chose to return to Xunyang by riverboat.The relocation of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge has ended, and the dredging of the Yangtze River waterway is being carried out with great fanfare.Along the way, from time to time, Lin Zhenhua could see a bustling construction site on the bank, with the words "So-and-so Development Zone" written on it, which is 2000 kilometers long. The rise of the Yangtze River Industrial Belt, which penetrates into the hinterland of southern China, is just around the corner.

The development of modern industry is inseparable from the support of water transportation.Counting the major industrial belts in the world, all of them have developed by relying on convenient water transportation.Since China's reform and opening up, the coastal areas were the first to develop. This is not accidental.Most of the earliest industries developed in China were labor-intensive industries, among which the export processing trade of “large imports and large exports” was the most typical.Processing enterprises import raw materials from overseas, use China's cheap labor for processing, 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 advantages of labor.

As Chinese manufacturing becomes more and more popular in the world, the coastal cities of China are gradually experiencing industrial saturation. Industrial enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Xiaoyong, and southern Zhejiang are gathering. It also puts enormous pressure on the ecology of the region.Ecological crises such as cyanobacteria in Taihu Lake are essentially signs of ecological collapse because the local population exceeds the limit that the environment can carry.

Under such circumstances, the transfer of newly added industries to the inland has become an inevitable trend, and the transportation problem has become an important bottleneck for the transfer of industries to the inland.The dismantling of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge and the dredging of the Yangtze River waterway have enabled the 2000-kilometer middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to realize river-sea intermodal transport, and [-]-ton seagoing ships can be directly traced back to the Jingchu area. They have all become 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 all seen this, and they have unanimously 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. Sensational names such as Silicon Valley, Optics Valley, Superconducting Valley, and Nano Valley make people feel dazzled. Bureau officials flew all over the world, setting off a new upsurge in attracting investment.

"This Yangtze River is really not enough for everyone to toss about." Standing on the side of the river ship, Lin Zhenhua looked at the densely packed tower cranes on the river bank like a forest, full of emotion.

Hu Gui, who accompanied Lin Zhenhua on the investigation in Jingxi, said: "Mr. Lin, I have to say that your foresight is beyond the reach of others. As early as 20 years ago, you changed the headquarters of Hanhua from the inland Fenghua moved to Xunyang, and acquired 1 mu of land in one breath. Do you know that now when officials in Xunyang City talk about the 1 mu of land, they feel overwhelmed with pain."

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

Back then, Lin Zhenhua suggested that the then mayor Hong Yu'an establish an economic and technological development zone on the banks of the Yangtze River in the suburbs of Xunyang City. Officials in Xunyang City were not optimistic about the prospects of the development zone.When Lin Zhenhua proposed to enclose 1 mu of land, the officials in Xunyang felt like they were throwing their burden away, almost giving the land to Hanhua at the price of selling cabbage.

Over the past ten years, the scope of the Economic and Technological Development Zone has expanded several times compared to the past, and the land price has soared from a few thousand yuan per mu to hundreds of thousands per mu.When Hanhua won the 1 mu of land, it only cost tens of millions. If they want to take these lands now, they will get billions of dollars. Do you think the officials in Xunyang can't regret it? ?
Then again, if Hanhua hadn’t built a factory here back then, the Xunnan Industrial Belt, which is rich in land and gold, would not have been formed so early. Xunyang City’s use of cheap land to keep Hanhua could not be regarded as a loss matter.

The boat sailed down the river and arrived in Xunyang the next day.As soon as Lin Zhenhua got off the ship, he received a call from the group office telling him to go to the city hall, where the governor was waiting for him.

The current governor of Jiangnan Province is Hong Yu'an, the mayor of Xunyang. His promotion is not unrelated to Xunyang's economic achievements, in other words, it is also related to the development of Hanhua.Hong Yu'an knew this well and knew that Lin Zhenhua was a noble person in his official career, so no matter when he was the mayor of Xunyang or after he became the governor of Xunyang, he always took good care of Hanhua, and would invite him from time to time. Lin Zhenhua went to sit and chat with him.

This time, Hong Yuan made a special trip to Xunyang to inspect the construction work of the development zone. As before, as soon as he arrived in Xunyang, he asked his secretary to contact Hanhua Heavy Industries and asked Lin Zhenhua to go to the city hall for an interview.

"Mr. Lin, you are such a noble person. It is difficult to invite you. I asked the secretary to contact your group office the day before yesterday, and your office said that you would be able to come back yesterday. As a result, you notified me yesterday that you would not be able to come back until today. I am I just stayed 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 were accompanying them looked at Lin Zhenhua with all kinds of envy and jealousy in their eyes. You must know that when the governor spoke to them, he had never had such an intimate attitude.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I kept Hong Sheng waiting for so long." Lin Zhenhua repeatedly bowed to Hong Yu'an, "I originally said that I came back yesterday, but there was a small matter in Jingxi that needed to be finished, so it was delayed for a day. Our office is also true, province The chief summoned me for such a big event, but they didn't even notify me, so I removed the chief of the office when I went back."

"Pull it down. I heard that Bi Min, the director of your office, started the business with you. You trust her more than your wife. Are you willing to dismiss her?" Hong Yu'an revealed.

It's quite surprising that the dignified governor actually made such an ambiguous joke with Lin Zhenhua in public.Everyone was stunned, and laughed together to make fun of the governor, although there was nothing particularly ridiculous about it.

Lin Zhenhua smiled and begged for mercy: "Governor Hong, I know I was wrong, so please forgive me. If Yang Xin hears this, I will have to kneel on the keyboard when I go back."

After a joking joke, everyone took their seats. Lin Zhenhua asked, "Governor Hong, do you have any specific instructions for calling me this time?"

Hong Yu'an said: "I don't dare to have instructions. I just heard that you have been in Chutian Province for the past few months. What, does the group have any projects there?"

"Well..." Lin Zhenhua was embarrassed, even if he was killed, he would not believe that Hong Yu'an would not know about his going to Jingxi.Hong Yu'an asked this question 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, it's like this. The mayor of Jingxi City in Chutian Province found me..." Lin Zhenhua briefly told Hong Yu'an about meeting Yue Jianhua in Jinling, and finally said: "Our group has always attached great importance to responsibility. Social obligation, after the leadership of our group learned about the poverty situation in Jingxi area, they were very sympathetic and believed that our group should do something for the people of Jingxi within its capacity, so I went there. By the way, Governor Hong, you It’s because I didn’t go to Jingxi to see it, it’s really too poor there, compared with the outside of the mountain, it’s almost a century behind.”

Hong Yu'an nodded and said: "Assuming social responsibilities is what enterprises should do. In this regard, you Hanhua can be regarded as a model for enterprises in our Jiangnan Province. However, you said that Jingxi is poor, and there are impoverished counties in Jiangnan Province. Are you Shouldn't we also pay attention to the poverty alleviation work at our doorstep?"

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Governor Hong, Hanhua helps impoverished counties and cities in the province every year. There are thousands of job openings for impoverished counties and cities a year alone. In addition, our Jiangnan Province Under the wise leadership of Governor Hong, the economy is booming, and impoverished areas like Jingxi have been completely wiped out, and we can’t find anyone to help the poor.”

Lin Zhenhua's last sentence was complete flattery.The economic development of Jiangnan Province has been good in recent years. Even poor counties and cities are only labeled as poor. In fact, the living standards of the people are not low, and they are much better than Jingxi. This is a fact.However, the economic development of Jiangnan Province, on the one hand, is because Jiangnan Province is located between the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, and can be radiated by the economic development of the two deltas; provincial economic development.In terms of contributions, Lin Zhenhua may have made more contributions than Hong Yu'an.

However, if you wear it for a thousand times, you don't wear it for flattery.Hearing Lin Zhenhua's words, Hong Yu'an couldn't help laughing. Naturally, it's not easy to hold Lin Zhenhua responsible for going to Chutian Province to help the poor.In fact, he had let people know beforehand that Hanhua had only built a few small factories in Jingxi, and the investment was not too much, so Hong Yuan didn't pay attention to the money.This time he beat Lin Zhenhua, just to remind him not to lead the fertilizer to outsiders' fields.

"Xiao Lin, I came to Xunyang this time, but I made a special trip to find you, the chairman, for advice. You should support the poverty alleviation work in brother provinces and cities, which is what you should do. However, should you also devote some energy to it? Do you care about the development of our Jiangnan Province itself? At present, the provinces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are vigorously attracting investment, and our Jiangnan Province is a bit behind in this regard. As the governor, I see it in my eyes and worry about it Come on." Hong Yuan said.
