Chapter 440 What's more important and who weighs 8,000 words

Life coincidences are everywhere. Although it is not the first time for Zhang Yang and Qiao Mengyuan to go to Dongjiang together, it is the first time for a lonely man and a woman to walk alone. Qiao Mengyuan tries to make herself look natural and calm, but Zhang Yang can still feel her inadvertent formality.

Zhang Yang defines himself as a polite and modest gentleman most of the time. He can't do excessive things, and the topic he talks with Qiao Mengyuan is not painful or itchy. When Qiao Mengyuan realized that he is not too dangerous, he has also become much more natural, and the topic of the two gradually came to the new airport.

Zhang Yang did not hide his main purpose of his trip to Dongjiang this time. He smiled and said, "This trip to Dongjiang is mainly to win the province's financial allocation. Nancy has recently engaged in the deep-water port project. Our Jiangcheng is preparing to build a new airport project. Whoever the province pays more policy will give more money to whom."

Qiao Mengyuan smiled and said, "So you're going to grab the money!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It can be said that the financial investment in the province must be biased. If we don't fight for it, the money will go to Nancy." He glanced at Qiao Mengyuan and said, "In our relationship, how can you help me say a few words in front of Secretary Qiao?"

Qiao Mengyuan's words almost rushed out. What's the relationship between us? But when the words came to his lips, he felt a little inappropriate. He smiled faintly and said, "I am also half a citizen of Jiangcheng now. I will try my best to do these things."

Zhang Yang said, "Is this return to Jiangcheng to visit relatives or for business?"

Qiao Mengyuan said, "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday!"

Zhang Yang said, "Bless her for me!"

"Thank you!"

The two talked respectfully, and the time passed quickly. They had arrived in Dongjiang at nine o'clock in the evening. Zhang Yang sent Qiao Mengyuan to the family home of the Provincial Party Committee. When Qiao Mengyuan was about to get out of the car, Zhang Yang said, "It's so late. Let's have dinner together and then go back

Qiao Mengyuan turned around, looked at Zhang Yang's hopeful face and nodded gently.

The two of them didn't go far. They sat down in the small corner building diagonally opposite the provincial party committee family courtyard. Qiao Mengyuan liked to eat boiled fish here. Zhang Yang didn't like Sichuan cuisine very much. He asked for a plate of peanuts, cut a plate of braised beef, and took a bottle of Qingjiang from the car to

Qiao Mengyuan was worried that he would have trouble driving after drinking, so she whispered, "Drink less. Drunk driving is not safe."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If you are worried that my drunk driving is not safe, why don't you just keep me at your house!"

One sentence made Qiao Mengyuan blush. He dared to be honest all the way in disguise. As soon as he set foot on the land of Dongjiang, he began to be cute again. In fact, Zhang Yang was a person who went crazy. The more the two were alone, the more humble he was. But when it came to public, he began to move.

Qiao Mengyuan just thought she didn't hear it. She took a piece of boiled fish and ate it very attentively.

Zhang Yang poured a glass of wine and put it in front of her: "Have a drink with me!"

Qiao Mengyuan picked up the glass and smiled, "Thank you for being my driver!"

Zhang Yang said, "For you, I will always bow down and be willing to be a cow." His words are somewhat ambiguous.

Qiao Mengyuan smiled and said, "You are a national cadre, even if you are an ox and a horse, the first thing that comes to mind is to be an old scalper."

Zhang Yang was about to say ** her two words when he suddenly heard a cheerful laughter: "Mengyuan, why are you here?"

Qiao Mengyuan's eldest brother Qiao Pengju came out of the private room and happened to see Zhang Yang and Qiao Mengyuan eating in the hall. On his mother's birthday tomorrow, he knew that his sister would come back from Jiangcheng tonight, but he didn't expect to meet his sister here, let alone that his sister would have dinner with Zhang Yang.

Qiao Mengyuan looked a little nervous when she saw her eldest brother, but Zhang Guanren was very calm. He and Qiao Mengyuan were originally innocent, and there was nothing to be seen. He got up and smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, what a coincidence!"

Qiao Peng smiled and said, "I like to eat boiled fish here. Every time I come to Dongjiang, I will eat here."

Zhang Yang said, "I didn't expect you brother and sister to have the same taste." He invited Qiao Peng and said, "Let's have two drinks together!"

Qiao Peng raised his voice, "You eat first, and I'll go inside and say it."

Qiao Peng turned around and went back to his room to explain to a few friends. After a while, he came back with a bottle of flying Moutai in his hand.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Come as soon as you come, and bring wine here. You're welcome?"

Qiao Peng put the wine on the table. Zhang Yang first picked up Qingjiang to provide him with a glass: "Try the local wine of our Jiangcheng."

Qiao Pengju was not polite to him. He picked up the glass and touched Zhang Yang, and went down half a cup in one bite. Zhang Yang called the waiter and ordered two more dishes.

Qiao Mengyuan got up and said, "I'm full. I'll go home first."

Qiao Peng nodded. Qiao Mengyuan waved to Zhang Yang and said, "Thank you for giving me a ride. Don't forget to call me when you go back." Qiao Mengyuan's words are a little overwhelming.

Zhang Yang smiled. After Qiao Mengyuan left, he just said to Qiao Peng, "I just heard that my aunt's birthday is tomorrow."

Qiao Peng laughed and said, "I also just arrived in the morning. Usually, Mengyuan and I are out in business, not with our parents. On our parents' birthdays, we must come back to show our filial piety."

Zhang Yang said, "Filial piety is a must. When we were young, we neglected to get along with our parents because we were busy with work. We will definitely regret it in the future."

Qiao Pengju sighed, "Life is so short, so we should cherish all the people around us who can cherish it."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao's words are full of philosophy!"

Qiao Peng said with a smile, "It's just a feeling, let you laugh!"

The two drank a glass of wine together. Qiao Peng said, "I heard that Jiangcheng is working on a new airport project?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it is currently in the preparatory period. There will be a public bidding and procurement activity for the project next week. I came to Dongjiang this time to report to the leaders on the progress of the construction of the airport."

Qiao Peng said, "I also heard that there are some problems with the funds for the construction of your new airport."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "This news is not accurate. The new airport project has attracted a lot of investment. Let alone small investors, there are two large investors in China alone who want to inject capital into the construction of the airport."

Qiao Peng laughed and said, "This is the best. It's impossible to do things now without sufficient financial security."

Zhang Yang said, "Mr. Qiao is also interested in our new airport project?" Zhang Yang is now particularly ** about investment. He also knows that the industry that Qiao Pengju is engaged in is financial investment. If Qiao Pengju is interested in the new airport project, he will be more confident in winning more provincial financial allocations this time.

Qiao Pengju shook his head: "I don't have much interest in investing in Jiangcheng New Airport. Although I haven't been in Pinghai for a long time, I think the pattern of Pinghai's economy is still strong in the south and weak in the north. Instead of investing money in the slow-growing north, it In the southern region, I am a businessman, and the principle of a businessman is to get the greatest benefit in the shortest time. Qiao Peng paused for a moment and said in an aggravated tone, "So I chose to invest in the Nancy Deep Water Port Project."

Zhang Yang's heart sank. Qiao Pengju's words conveyed an important message to him. Qiao Pengju wanted to invest in the Nancy deep-water port project. That is to say, in the fight for the provincial finance allocation, Nancy has taken the lead. Qiao Pengju is optimistic about Nancy. Does it represent Qiao Zhenliang's opinion? If This time, I hope that my trip to the Dongjiang River will fail.

Qiao Peng slowly fell down his glass and said, "The province will set up a five-year key project recently. Nanxi Deep Water Port and Jiangcheng New Airport are among them. Although they are all key projects, there will definitely be some emphasis on policy and financial support. Is it related to this matter this time?"

Qiao Pengju's words came to the point, and Zhang Yang did not hide it. In fact, there was no need to hide it. Zhang Yang said calmly, "The city asked me to come here this time to win the support of the provincial policy."

Qiao Peng laughed and said, "That's it. Everyone wants to be the top priority, and everyone wants to get the priority of the provincial finances. Before you, the leaders of Nancy have done a lot of work, and they are in front of you."

Zhang Yang said, "As far as I know, their deep-water port project has not officially started."

Qiao Peng said, "Nanxi's economic strength is stronger than Jiangcheng's. The approval for the deep-water port project has been won. Since then, they have begun to do provincial work."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If you were a provincial leader, would you support that project?"

Qiao Peng raised a smile and said, "I will support which project can bring the greatest benefit to Pinghai."

Zhang Yangxin said, what you said is the same as not saying, but Qiao Pengju knows it even if he doesn't say it. He decided to invest in Nancy Deepwater Port. He must be optimistic about the future of Deepwater Port. There is no doubt that Qiao Pengju supports Deepwater Port.

Before Zhang Yang came to Dongjiang, he didn't expect this matter to be so complicated. After breaking up with Qiao Pengju, he went to the provincial government to make a move and had to do business tomorrow morning. Today's encounter with Qiao Pengju suddenly increased the pressure on Zhang Yang's shoulders.

When Qiao Pengju returned home, his parents and sister were talking in the living room.

When Qiao Zhenliang saw his son coming back, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Did you drink too much?"

Qiao Peng smiled and said, "Ba Liang liquor is still within my digestive range."

Meng Chuanmei looked at her son lovingly: "Drink less. Now you are young and in good health. When you grow up in the future, you will know that your body can't be squandered."

Qiao Peng laughed and said, "Mom, I didn't squander my body!" He came to his father and sat down.

Qiao Mengyuan handed the poured tea to his hand and whispered, "Brother, drink more water."

Qiao Peng raised, "Zhang Yang's drinking capacity is so good that I'm not his opponent."

Qiao Zhenliang said, "What's worse for young people? It's better than drinking. What if you can drink more? Can it promote socialist modernization?

Qiao Mengyuan heard it interestingly and couldn't help laughing.

Qiao Peng said, "Dad, you have a problem with your understanding. If we drink more, the winery will sell more wine, and the recycling capital will be more. The benefits of the winery will naturally be better. If the benefits are good, the profits and taxes paid to the country will be more. The more taxes the state collects, the fuller the treasury will be, the economy of our whole country will continue to develop, and the reform process will be accelerated. This is called a virtuous circle.

Qiao Zhenliang laughed and scolded: "Bastard logic, according to your opinion, our reform cause does not have to do anything, more than a billion people drink every day?"

Qiao Peng smiled and said, "Dad, I didn't say anything!"

Qiao Mengyuan smiled and said, "My eldest brother is a typical speculator."

Qiao Peng said, "Dear, what you said is wrong. I'm engaged in financial investment. You are engaged in industry. Although we have different ways, the ultimate purpose is the same, all for profit. It is our ultimate goal to fight big with the small and get the maximum benefit with the least investment.

Qiao Zhenliang reminded them: "You can't just think about making money in business. While reaping economic benefits, you should also pay attention to social benefits. At this point, Mengyuan has done better than you, donating to education, investing in charity, and doing a lot of good things that are beneficial to the society and the people in Jiangcheng."

Qiao Peng said, "I always have reservations about charity. I admit that there are indeed many people who really need help in this society, but a large number of them do not really need assistance. Look at those who are begging along the street. They have hands and feet. They can obviously go to farm and work. Why do they choose this? A life without work? This kind of person is not worthy of sympathy at all for giving up dignity in exchange for money. I heard that many beggars have a monthly income of more than 1,000 yuan. Such income is dwarfed even for government officials, right?

Qiao Zhenliang frowned and said, "You don't want to show love, and you shouldn't have such an attitude."

Qiao Peng said, "Dad, I know you don't like to listen to this. What do you like best in China? It is a disaster relief donation. What is the principle of donation? Consciously and voluntarily, why do you have to make so many forms? What is the purpose? It's nothing more than cheating the kind people into a few tears and coaxing some money out of everyone's pockets, but what about the donated money? I don't believe that it's all used for the victims, and there are many officials who are corrupted and diseed every day because of these things.

Qiao Zhenliang said, "Kid, I find something wrong with your mind."

Qiao Peng said, "Dad, you are in a high position. I don't know the following situations. In fact, there is no difference between human society and the animal world. The survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest. Only in this way can society develop. Thinking about a bowl of water for everything will only drag the development."

Qiao Zhenliang's face was already very ugly. He hummed and said, "You fart! We are a socialist country. What you said is all the arguments of capitalist society. Our Qiao family is a ** family. Why did you have such a thing?

Qiao Mengyuan saw that her father was really angry and hurriedly winked at her eldest brother.

Qiao Peng smiled and said, "Dad, you can support the boat in your prime minister's belly. I drank two more cups tonight. You can say whatever you think. Don't be like me." He stood up and fled at the right time.

Qiao Zhenliang said angrily, "What kind of dirty things are in this bastard's mind?"

Meng Chuanmei smiled and said, "You, the child is so big, and it's normal to have your own ideas. You can't accept it, but you should also convince him in a more tactful way."

Qiao Zhenliang got up and said, "I'm asleep. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to him!"

Zhang Yang went to the governor's office early in the morning to visit his future father-in-law, Governor Song Huaiming. Although Song Huaiming was very busy, he still took time to meet Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang briefly reported on the preparation and construction of the Jiangcheng new airport project.

Song Huaiming listened carefully, and the key point was to interrupt Zhang Yang's careful inquiry.

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he focused on the theme of this time: "Gun Governor Song, we are very tight in terms of funds. Such a large project as the construction of a new airport requires more than 1 billion yuan in terms of funds alone. At present, more than 300 million yuan has been raised from bank loans and all parties, and there is still a large

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "If there is a gap in funds, you can fight for investment in society. You used to engage in investment promotion work. I don't need to teach you this, do you?"

Zhang Yang understood in his heart. It seems that it's the same everywhere. It's not so easy to get money, and Zhang Yang doesn't beat around the bush. He smiled and said, "I heard that the province has designated Jiangcheng Airport as a five-year key project."

Song Huaiming nodded and said, "Yes, there are many key projects set this time, not just Jiangcheng Airport."

Zhang Yang said, "There are also first, second and third-class key projects. Our Jiangcheng New Airport should be the top priority, right?"

Song Huaiming laughed. He couldn't see that the boy was turning around and beggarking for money. Song Huaiming said, "Zhang Yang, the province will indeed give certain financial support to key projects. Jiangcheng New Airport is also one of the key projects. Nancy's deep-water port project is also very important. As for how It will be decided after discussion.

Zhang Yang said, "Nanxi's economic foundation is much better than that of Jiangcheng. I don't want to step on others to improve Jiangcheng's status. Nancy and Jiangcheng are both children of Pinghai, but ten fingers are also long and short! Two biological flesh and blood, one is rich, and the other is poor. Pinghai, a father, must be focused on it, right? Is it the icing on the cake or a charcoal in the snow? Please think about it carefully.

Song Huaiming was amused by Zhang Yang's metaphor. He laughed and said, "Don't cry with me here. The Standing Committee will be held soon. I promise you to put forward what you said in the Standing Committee and try to help the Jiangcheng New Airport Project win strong financial support."

Zhang Yang said, "Thank you, Governor Song!" Today is an office day. This is a government office. Zhang Daguan is honest about Governor Song.

Song Huaiming really kept his promise. At the Standing Committee on the same day, he raised the issue of Jiangcheng New Airport. Zhang Yang's saying is correct. Ten fingers also have a long and short. There is no bowl of water in the world. The construction of Nanxi Shenshui Port and Jiangcheng New Airport are the two most important projects in Pinghai's next five-year plan. But which of these two projects is more important, and who should the provincial finance be more inclined? Up to now, it is still uncertain. There must be a big difference between key projects and top priorities. Nanxi and Jiangcheng want to be the top priority, but Jiangcheng's news in this regard is obviously not as good as that of Nanxi Lingtong, and their work has been seriously lagging behind.

Song Huaiming said: "I suggest that the Jiangcheng New Airport Project be upgraded to the key project of our Pinghai Future Five-Year Plan. As the Standing Committee know, Jiangcheng is a leading city in the north of Pinghai, and over the years, the economic development of the northern part of Pinghai has lagged behind. It is an opportunity to promote the development of Jiangcheng and even the whole northern part of Pinghai. I think it is necessary to give strong financial support to Jiangcheng.

Qiao Zhenliang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, said with a smile, "The Governor of Song has a lot of feelings for Jiangcheng! It is indeed a confusing thing for our province to focus on which city to support. Jiangcheng and Nanxi are all the own flesh and blood of Pinghai. If you want to engage in egalitarianism, a bowl of water will be flat, but the funds will be scattered and will not have the best effect, so we should use the money in the most critical place. He paused for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he continued: "The gap between the north-south gap in Pinghai's economy is a fact. The former leader has not changed. If we want to change, we can't do it in a short time. As leaders, we should stand at the height of the whole province to Which project can bring the greatest benefits to Pinghai? Our government finances should be used for projects that may reap the greatest benefits.

Executive Vice Governor Zhao Jiting said, "The importance of civil airports and international deep-water ports will be known when you think about it. I think Jiangcheng Airport is important, but it cannot be compared with the significance of Nancy Deep-water Port."

Song Huaiming said, "From the current point of view, from the perspective of the limited scope, Jiangcheng Airport is certainly not as profitable as that of Nancy Deepwater Port, but please don't forget, what is the biggest problem in front of us? What is the biggest problem in Pinghai? That is, the economic development of the north and south is uneven. If we can't change this situation in time, this economic imbalance will become more and more serious in the future. We can regard Pinghai as a train. The power of the front of the car is very sufficient, but if the number of towing is constantly increasing, the burden on the front of the car will become Become an impossible thing. The previous leaders have discovered this problem and tried to change the uneven economic development between the North and the South. We must face up to this problem. If we let this imbalance continue, Pinghai's future will inevitably be affected.

Executive Vice Governor Zhao Jiting said, "But economic development must be focused, and our financial expenditure is also limited. The development of the south is to enhance the power of this locomotive. Only with enough power can the train in Pinghai run."

Qiao Zhenliang didn't say anything. Nanxi Sham Shui Port and Jiangcheng New Airport are both key projects in Pinghai in the next five years, which will bring great impact and development opportunities to the local area. The question of who to focus is not simple. On the surface, it is the problem of Sham Shui Port and the new airport. In fact The problem in the north has existed as early as Gu Yunzhi's era. In the later period, Gu Yunzhi once thought that he focused too much on the development of the southern economy, which caused uneven development between the north and the south, which was a pity for his ruling career. Qiao Zhenliang knows that Song Huaiming's words are reasonable, but what Zhao Jiting said is also very right. Balancing the economic development of the North and the South is by no means something that can be seen overnight. If you want to see the benefits and achieve development in a short time, the best decision is to push the locomotive forward as much as possible.

Qiao Zhenliang said, "I heard that there was a similar debate on whether the National Economic Development Zone was established in Jiangcheng or Lanshan. I want to ask you, why did you choose Lanshan instead of Jiangcheng at the beginning?"

All the members of the Standing Committee did not say anything. The original choice should be said to be Gu Yunzhi's choice. Most of the members of the Standing Committee still agreed to settle the National Economic Development Zone in Jiangcheng. However, according to the current development, Gu Yunzhi's decision is undoubtedly correct. The economic development of Jiangcheng is not suitable for the Economic Development Zone.

Song Huaiming said: "The development zone and the current infrastructure construction are two different things. Secretary Qiao mentioned this matter, which proves that our policies have always been inclined to the south and are also part of the Pinghai. We can't continue to ignore the backwardness of the north. We should do our best to shorten and even eliminate this gap. Only in this way can Pinghai become a close and united group and move forward quickly!"

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "What everyone said is reasonable. Let's skip this matter for the time being and make a decision later."

After the Standing Committee, Qiao Zhenliang and Song Huaiming walked together. Song Huaiming whispered, "Secretary Qiao, what's your plan on?"

Qiao Zhenliang's smile was still on his face, which made people unable to see through his depth. Qiao Zhenliang said, "Huai Ming, I feel that your performance today seems a little radical."

Song Huaiming also smiled: "Secretary Qiao, I'm worried about the future of Pinghai. A person with sound limbs and a lame person. Who do you think can run faster?"

Qiao Zhenliang said, "I also know that the economic gap between the north and the south of Pinghai is very large, and I also want to shorten this gap."

Song Huaiming said, "It's the best opportunity in front of us."

Qiao Zhenliang said, "Can this goal be achieved by just building an airport?" He seemed a little skeptical.

Song Huaiming said: "After the completion of Jiangcheng's new airport, the city's advantages in the regional center in the north have become more and more obvious. The center is not what we can achieve, but to have a complete set of software and hardware supporting facilities. The urban environment of Jiangcheng is constantly changing, and the development momentum in the past With the reconstruction of the railway station and the completion of the new airport project, Jiangcheng, an old industrial city, is bound to be rejuvenated.

Qiao Zhenliang said, "The icing on the cake and sending charcoal in the snow are indeed things that people think about. Sometimes, it is not as easy to decide as expected. Both the deep-water port and the new airport have been put on, which is imperative. All we have to do is policy and financial support. The deep-water port contains huge business opportunities, and the benefits that can be obtained in the future are visible and tangible, and the influence and development of the new airport only exist in our expectations. Huai Ming, you also have to think about There should not be too many emotional factors in this matter. Qiao Zhenliang's first few words were still the same, but the last sentence made Song Huaiming a little unhappy. Song Huaiming could not hear it. His so-called emotional factor meant that Zhang Yang was the on-site commander of the Jiangcheng New Airport project. Song Huaiming asked himself that he was a person who took care of the overall situation, and he

Song Huaiming said, "I don't mean to give up the deep-water port project. The economic situation in Nancy is much better than that of Jiangcheng. In comparison, Jiangcheng needs the key support of provincial finance. We should take into account both sides as much as possible and focus on it."

Qiao Zhenliang said, "Recently, people have come to both sides of Nancy and Jiangcheng. Their purpose is to get more money from the province. There is really nothing they can do. Who are they looking for if they don't reach out to their parents when they encounter something? We can't have to give, but it's a problem to give more or less, and it's a problem to give to anyone!"

The two walked while talking and broke up in front of the elevator.

Today's Standing Committee obviously did not achieve Song Huaiming's goal. It is not surprising that Zhao Jiting jumped out to sing against him. In the past, Zhao Jiting has always been Gu Yunzhi's right-key and a persistent supporter of the development of the southern economy. Song Huaiming proposed to balance the gap between the north and the It is normal for Zhao Jiting, who is a student of Gu Yunzhi, to come out to object, but Zhao Jiting has been silent for a long time. Today's sudden high profile makes Song Huaiming vigilant. Recently, many important departments in the province have quietly changed. The deputy director of the Public Security Department is Gao Zhonghe, who was transferred from Nanwu City Rong Pengfei, who was recommended by Ming, was hanged at the last minute, and the person who played a key role in it must be Qiao Zhenliang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Song Huaiming doesn't know much about Gao Zhonghe himself, so he can't evaluate his working ability, but Gao Zhonghe will undoubtedly become the future director of Pinghai's public security department. With the arrival of several old members of the Standing Committee, the Standing Committee of Pinghai Province will also face a round of alternation between the old and the new. Song Huaiming dares not be sloppy about this matter now. There must be a silent battle between him and Qiao Zhenliang about the division of forces.
