Chapter 30: Time is no longer waiting

"With the completion and opening of the Anqian Railway, Nanhua is now the only prefecture-level city in our province that does not have railways. Although the proposed local railway from Andu to Tongcheng - Dutong Railway has been put on the agenda, depending on the current situation, there will be a dispute. Moreover, even if the construction starts soon, I guess this railway will not be able to come out in a few years."

Zhao Guodong and his men seemed to be dissatisfied with each other, and sighed slightly in their hearts. This is a matter of vision and vision. Of course, there is also the smell of not being in his position and not doing the right thing. He needs to point out these people. "This is a bad thing for Nanhua, but for us Ningling, it is a good thing in a sense."

Zhu Wenkui was slightly shocked, and a thoughtful look on his face fell a little more comfortable in Zhao Guodong's heart. If even the deputy mayor in charge of transportation construction could not realize the meaning, then he, the deputy mayor, would be really unqualified.

Nanhua is a large population city in the province, with eleven counties, cities and districts under its jurisdiction, with a population of more than 7.9 million, second only to Andu City. It has abundant resources and is also a major agricultural city. The production of grain, oil and pigs is the best in the province.

Nandu is the largest county in Nanhua and the top three in the province. It has a population of 300,000 more than Ningling City before the Ningling area was relocated to build a city, reaching more than 1.4 million. It is also a key grain and oil base county in the province and a base county for developing mulberry silkworm production. It ranks first in the province in pig output, with a particularly developed textile industry and sufficient labor force.

"I don't need to introduce the situation in Nandu and even Nanhua. Have you considered it? Nandu has more than 1.4 million people, and it is more than 80 kilometers away from their Nanhua City. It is only more than 50 kilometers away from Yunling and only 100 kilometers away from our Ningling. In other words, if the road between the road from Yunling and the road between Yunling and our Ningling can be completely repaired, it will be more than an hour's drive from Nandu to our Ningling."

"With the unique hub location at the intersection of our Ningling Xiliu Railway and Anxiang Railway, coupled with the unparalleled huge advantages of Ningling Port, Nandu and even the entire southeastern counties in Nanhua City can be attracted by our Ningling. This is of great help to build an economic and trade center and transportation hub location in Andong region. So I think this road should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, which will have a great driving effect on our Ningling's tertiary industry, which is mainly based on the logistics industry. To put it bluntly, farmers in several counties in the south of Nanhua will go out to work in the future. No matter whether they go north, south or east, they can come to Ningling to take a train or boat. Compared to Nanhua, they can only take a bus, at least they have more choices, right?"

Zhao Guodong's last words made the atmosphere in the reception room liven up.

Nanhua is the largest city in the province to work, with nearly two million working people going out to work every year. Among them, the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin are the main inflow areas. Since there is no railway or waterway to connect with the outside world, Nanhua City’s county and districts originally mainly rely on taking trains or long-distance buses to go out to Andu.

Since the opening of the Xiliu Railway, some farmers have begun to turn to Ningling or Tongcheng to take the train. Most of those who go north choose to go to Tongcheng, while those who go south choose to go to Ningling. Many people who go east have also begun to choose to take a boat in Ningling to Wuhan, even Jinling, Hujiang, and especially after the renovation and expansion of Ningling Port, the passenger capacity has been greatly enhanced, which has also made great appeal to many migrant workers who do not have strong time requirements.

Once the Anxiang Railway is completed and opened to traffic next year, the location of Ningling's railway hub will be even more prominent. I am afraid that the transportation pressure of Ningling Railway Station will be prominent. The An Railway Bureau is already considering the expansion of Ningling Railway Station in order to meet the growing needs in the future.

"Zhao***, these farmers in Nanhua go out to work and go out to Ningling. Apart from increasing the traffic pressure on our Ningling, it is not much beneficial to our Ningling." Yuan Wanli, director of the Transportation Bureau, said with a humble smile.

"Old Yuan, you must learn to look at problems from a broad and long-term perspective. Transportation issues will be a shortcoming in Nanhua for a long time. They have hundreds of thousands of people coming in and out every year. Where they choose as a transit station means where they may develop into the central city of this region. It should be said that our Ningling currently has certain conditions, which is also a god-given opportunity." Zhao Guodong casually pointed to an Anyuan Province map next to him, "You can take a look. Our Anyuan Province is an irregular ellipse, Andu is in the middle position, while our Ningling is in the east focal point of the ellipse, and Qianzhou is in the west focal point of the ellipse slightly west."

"Because of economic and geographical conditions, Qianzhou is now open to traffic, although Qianzhou has poor conditions, located in deep hills, backward economy and relatively backward transportation conditions. It is affected by Huaiqing, which has a relatively developed intermediate economy, and it is difficult to develop into a central city with certain strength. However, our Ningling is different. The intersection of our two major railways and the transportation capacity of our unique Wujiang Golden Waterway will radiate to surrounding areas including western Hunan. With the current rapid development of our Ningling economy, it can be predicted that in a few years, our Ningling will surely become the central city in the Andong region, and this is also the goal of our Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government."

Everyone's eyes were on the map, it sounded good and beautiful. The central city of the region was not everyone's dream? But what Zhao Guodong said was not false. According to the current economic development speed of Ningling, it is predictable that it has rapidly developed into an economic magnet with a strong attraction to the surrounding areas.

"So, the road from Yunling to Ningling must be renovated as soon as possible. Similarly, since Nanhua intends to open up this important road from Nandu to Yunling, our Ningling must also actively cooperate and support it. I guess this is also an action by Nanhua to solve the traffic bottleneck. I think our Ningling can also respond and work with Nanhua to work in the province, and strive to include Nanhua-South-Drift-Yunling-Ningling, a channel with special strategic significance to Nanhua in the provincial plan." Zhao Guodong said while thinking.

When Lang Shiqun heard this, he was anxious and glanced at the thoughtful deputy mayor Zhu Wenkui. The other party seemed to be immersed in Zhao ***'s plan. He turned his attention to Yuan Wanli, the city's transportation director, and hoped that he would come forward to say it. If he really had to wait for the provincial plan, the daylily would be cold. Yunling couldn't wait now. It was not just a problem with the Gurugou Power Station. Now Yunling also intends to build the Gurugou national forest park. At the same time, relying on Yunling's abundant power energy to develop the industry, rather than just acting as a power output place. This is also the unanimous decision of the Yunling County Party Committee and County Government.

Zhao ***'s plan is even worse than You Lianxiang's deductions. At least You Lianxiang still supports the construction of this highway as soon as possible, and the city is willing to pay. Zhao ***'s statement is simply kicking the ball to the province. I hope that the funds can be built together with the road from Nandu to Yunling. Isn't this a disaster coming out of thin air?

It is true that the saying goes from the mouth is true. If Yuan Wanli hadn't been showing off a few words there, there wouldn't be such a problem? Zhao Guodong passed by, even if he was grinding his mouth at You Lianxiang, he would have to push this matter as soon as possible.

Yuan Wanli swallowed in embarrassment, and Zhu Wenkui didn't say anything. How could he be so arrogant? But this matter was also taken up by himself. If you want to blame him, you have to blame him for being troublesome. What are you showing off here? It's great. If this is really put aside, you won't be scolded to death by Lang Shiqun? I'm afraid Mayor Zhu will have some opinions about him.

"Zhao***, I'm afraid..., what I mean is that the road from Yunling to Ningling has reached a state that must be repaired soon. Now..." Yuan Wanli found himself a little incoherent.

"Did I say I won't repair it right away?" Zhao Guodong laughed, "Old Yuan, Lao Lang, do you think this will last for a year or two? Do you think the city is interested in playing past the ball and don't want to pay the money?"

Yuan Wanli and Lang Shiqun both smiled awkwardly, "Zhao***, you know that this road seriously restricts the development of our Yunling economy, so we can't wait any longer..."

"Okay, Lao Yuan, Lao Lang, I mean we can report to the province with Nanhua and request that this project be included. On the other hand, we can still follow our own plan. If the province really includes this project in the unified planning of the province, please make some adjustments at that time, collect our section and add some funds to our city. If it cannot be included, we will not delay time."

Zhao Guodong waved his hand.

"This, Zhao***, it may be difficult to do this. The Department of Transportation will not agree, and the Provincial Planning and Development Commission will not..." Yuan Wanli and his deputy looked at each other.

"Which job is not difficult? If it is not difficult, it is called enjoyment or not." Zhao Guodong said lightly: "Wenkui, Lao Yuan, I will fall on you two. I must seize the time here. Coordinating with Nanhua must also start immediately. Time is too late. There is no time for us to wait. Some things can't be waited for. You can only fight for. If you don't fight for it, there is really no hope!"
