Chapter 178 If Young Master Zhao doesn't offer any advice, don't even think about returnin
The sun sets in the west.
An Audi sedan slowly drove into the Linjiang Provincial Party Committee compound.
"Ruilong, Ruilong?"
"Wake up! We're here!"
Du Bozhong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, called out to remind him.
Zhao Ruilong, who was curled up asleep in the back seat, opened his eyes.
"Reached?"
"We're here, we'll be at Office Building Number One soon."
Du Bozhong looked at Zhao Ruilong, who was still yawning after sitting up, and asked with great confusion:
"You went to Mayor Zhou's house for dinner last night. What time did you finish eating?"
"We finished eating around 8 o'clock, but we chatted until almost 10 o'clock."
After saying that, Zhao Ruilong rubbed his face to quickly rouse himself.
Du Bozhong frowned and said, "Ten o'clock isn't late? I played with Gao Qiqiang and the others until almost two in the morning and I wasn't as sleepy as you!"
"After I got back to the hotel, I worked overtime until 3 a.m. to finish the proposal!"
After stretching, Zhao Ruilong buried himself in tidying his clothes.
Du Bozhong, sitting in the passenger seat, looked surprised.
"Oh my God!"
"Working on a proposal until 3 a.m."?"
"I'm saying, Young Master Zhao!"
"Aren't you being a little too diligent?"
"With your status and background, do you really need to work this hard?"
"In all my years of traveling around the country, I, Du Bozhong, have never seen a privileged son as hardworking as you!"
Zhao Ruilong smiled coldly.
"I don't want to work this hard either!"
"But the large aircraft project has already been launched, and the development of the matching aero engines must begin as soon as possible."
"The sooner our domestically produced large aircraft is successfully developed, the sooner our civil aviation industry can stand tall and no longer be subject to others!"
Du Bozhong was speechless.
"Your ideal is far too lofty and grand!"
"No wonder all the high-ranking and powerful people like you!"
"They not only have brains and ideas, but also drive and ability to get things done!"
"Of course, the most crucial thing is that you can actually attract huge investments of real money!"
Zhao Ruilong smiled without saying a word.
He couldn't help but think to himself.
With world-leading electronic information technology, it can rake in huge sums of money from abroad to invest domestically.
With the assistance of the system, the task was completed and many advanced technologies were obtained, which can help the rapid development of related industries in China.
Having neither a lack of money nor skills, and wanting to defy fate and help his father Zhao Lichun advance further, what's wrong with putting in a little more effort?
Besides, it's just a matter of rushing to finish the plan in the next few days. I only need to guide and supervise the subsequent tedious research and development and testing work.
The Audi slowly came to a stop.
Du Bozhong quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Zhao Ruilong.
"Hello, Director Pang!"
Zhao Ruilong's address of "Director Pang" made Secretary Pang, who had arrived at the door early, extremely happy.
Many people only know that he was the secretary of Zhang Jingchong, the provincial clerk of Linjiang.
But he actually has another identity.
That's the director of the General Affairs Division 1 of the General Office.
With Zhang Shuji present, calling him Secretary Pang was perfectly acceptable.
But since Zhang Shuji wasn't there, calling him Director Pang was clearly more in line with his status and position.
Zhao Ruilong noticed even such small details.
Therefore, Secretary Pang's smile naturally became more friendly.
"Knowing you were coming, Zhang Shuji specially canceled a meeting to wait for you in his office. I'll take you upstairs now!"
Zhao Ruilong gripped Secretary Pang's hand tightly.
"Okay, please."
"You're too kind, this way please."
Secretary Pang smiled and stepped aside to lead Zhao Ruilong upstairs.
As for Du Bozhong...
How could he possibly be qualified to meet Zhang Jingchong?
Of course, they could only wait in the downstairs lounge.
soon.
Zhao Ruilong arrived at Zhang Jingchong's office
Since they are both provincial leaders, their offices naturally have the same size and specifications.
However, Zhao Ruilong felt that his father's office was noticeably messier.
As a typical workaholic, Zhao Lichun likes to keep a large number of documents on his desk so that he can easily access them at any time.
Zhang Jingchong, on the other hand, had a clean and tidy desktop with virtually no documents on it.
"Mr. Zhao, please have some tea!"
"Ok, thank you!"
Zhao Ruilong stood up slightly and waited for Secretary Pang to leave the room before sitting down again.
Zhang Jingchong picked up his teacup and gently blew on it.
“I spoke with your dad on the phone at noon and told him you were coming to my place this afternoon.”
"He told me to make any requests I wanted, and that he would agree to anything I could do."
Zhao Ruilong smiled.
"Everyone else is accused of being a burden to their father, but why is it that in my case it's the father who's burdening the son?"
Is this a trap?
Zhang Jinchong glared at Zhao Ruilong.
"We haven't even talked yet, and he's already saying I'll agree to anything. Isn't that just setting me up?"
As soon as Zhao Ruilong finished speaking, Zhang Jinchong put down his teacup.
"If you say that, that's really irresponsible of you!"
"We made a deal back then: I'd help you, and you'd help me. How come you're accusing me of cheating you now?"
Zhao Ruilong chuckled and said, "Just kidding. Actually, I came here this time with an investment plan already in mind."
"is it?"
Zhang Jingchong leaned forward, "Then hurry up and tell us!"
Zhao Ruilong didn't beat around the bush.
He succinctly explained his idea of investing in Jinghai and developing the wind power industry.
This includes why this idea came about, and the subsequent benefits of developing the electric vehicle and energy storage industries.
After a clear, well-organized, and promising explanation, Zhang Jingchong finally smiled.
"You're pretty good, kid! That's a great idea!"
"It wasn't for nothing that I went to so much trouble to help you!"
Zhao Ruilong casually asked, "I've already kept my word and fulfilled my promise, so what about Jinghai?"
"Don't worry, Lu Shuji told me that after finishing Zhong Zhengguo's case this weekend, he will lead a team to Jinghai next Monday. Even if he returns to Yanjing, he will have Sha Ruijin take care of the Tang family completely."
Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but frown slightly when Zhang Jingchong mentioned Sha Ruijin.
Lu Shengye was even able to take Sha Ruijin to Jinghai.
Zhang Jinchong is still so at ease.
Wouldn't that indirectly prove that Sha Ruijin is innocent?
Could it be that Sha Ruijin was not involved in Zhong Zhengguo's massive embezzlement in collusion with Cai Chenggong?
Seeing Zhao Ruilong's puzzled expression, Zhang Jinchong immediately explained:
"You may not know Sha Ruijin, but he is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Department of Linjiang Province."
"He not only served as the deputy head of the education rectification working group, but was also a descendant of the war hero Sha Zhenjiang."
"He has a sound ideology and works diligently. He was the one who oversaw the Linjiang Xinyi Group case!"
Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.
"With Sha Shuji around, the Tang family can't cause any big trouble."
Zhang Jinchong couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"How much trouble can a small family like the Tang family cause?"
"However, I did hear that when Zhong Zhengguo led a team to Jinghai for educational rectification, he investigated your second uncle, Zhao Lidong, quite a bit!"
"The fact that you can remain unscathed despite Zhong Zhengguo's repeated investigations shows that your second uncle is a trustworthy and good comrade!"
Zhao Ruilong smiled knowingly.
It seems that once the Tang family falls, Second Uncle will soon make progress.
Helping my second uncle improve is also one of the system's tasks.
So my busy work in Linjiang Province during this period wasn't in vain.
"By the way, what time is your flight tonight?"
"Nine o'clock."
"It's still early, we can have a good chat, have dinner together, and then I'll take you to the airport!"
Zhang Jingchong took out a map of Linjiang Province from the drawer and spread it out on his desk.
"The rapid development of Handong Province makes me very envious."
"It's rare for you to come all this way, so give me some advice on how Linjiang Province should develop!"
Zhao Ruilong knew that Zhang Jinchong would not let him off easily.
After getting up and looking at the map of Linjiang Province, he drew a large circle in the northern part of Linjiang Province.
"Uncle Zhang, personally, I think there's no problem with the development of the coastal areas of Linjiang Province. They can attract foreign investment and engage in export trade. With China's accession to the WTO, the economy will only get better and better."
"What we really need to focus on is the northern mountainous region, which is mountainous, land-scarce, and resource-poor. This large area is the weakness of your Linjiang Province. If it is not developed, the gap between the rich and the poor will likely become very large in the future."
Zhang Jingchong leaned on the edge of the table, looking at the map and sighed:
"The economy in this region is not doing well!"
"All five of our Linjiang Province's poorest counties are concentrated in this area."
Zhao Ruilong reached out and drew a line on the map from south to north.
"In my opinion, if we want to completely change the backward situation in this area, we must first spare no expense and make great efforts to improve the local poor transportation conditions."
“Building more highways, electrified railways, and even high-speed railways will not only improve local transportation conditions, but also allow Lam Giang province to further strengthen its ties with the central region.”
"Only when roads are built can we fully utilize the region's abundant agricultural and forest resources to develop modern agriculture, ecotourism, rural homestays, outdoor camping, and other industries, thereby achieving poverty alleviation!"
As he spoke, Zhao Ruilong traveled north from Jiangcheng, his finger tracing the path to Lvteng, the provincial capital of Zhongjiang Province.
"I suggest we concentrate our efforts on building a high-speed railway that runs north through Lvteng to Yanjing, which would connect the two major economic zones in the central and northern parts of the country and also drive the development of the northern Linjiang area!"
Zhang Jingchong frowned.
"But this area is characterized by high mountains, dense forests, and deep ravines. It would be extremely difficult to build a high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, let alone a regular electrified railway with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour!"
Zhao Ruilong quickly replied, "No matter how difficult it is, we cannot lower the standards!"
"This is the main northbound passage of Linjiang Province. Even if we have to sell everything we own and go into debt, we must build a high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. We absolutely cannot build a 250 or even 200-kilometer line first and think about upgrading it later."
"Many provinces have learned a lesson from the experience of building highways. They thought that with limited economic strength, they would first build two-way four-lane highways to solve the problem of whether or not they had them. Some areas even skipped emergency lanes."
"However, with rapid economic development and increasing traffic volume, four-lane highways are simply unable to meet the traffic demand. Even a minor accident can cause widespread congestion, and even without an accident, the speed is extremely slow!"
Zhang Jinchong nodded repeatedly.
“I discovered this long ago when I went to various places to conduct research and go to the grassroots level.”
"Especially in mountainous areas, heavy-duty trucks struggle to climb uphill in the main lane, and if there are slow-moving vehicles in the overtaking lane, there will inevitably be a long traffic jam behind them."
Zhao Ruilong smiled and said, "So, in order to think long-term and to solve the problem of excessive traffic during holidays, our Handong Province has launched a wave of transportation construction."
"Not only will we upgrade existing national and provincial highways, but we will also expand existing expressways, and even convert major inter-provincial and inter-regional corridors to ten lanes!"
"Furthermore, of the five lanes in each direction, the two on the left are for passenger cars only, and large trucks and buses are strictly prohibited from entering. I believe that such a wide highway will not be outdated for at least the next twenty or thirty years!"
Zhang Jingchong asked with envy, "So, does that mean there won't be any four-lane highways in your Handong Province in the future?"
"Of course, they will all be at least six lanes in both directions. In addition, we also plan to implement a free rescue policy throughout the province."
Zhang Jinchong laughed and cursed, "Damn it, it's good to be rich!"
Zhao Ruilong shook his head repeatedly.
"No, it's not a matter of having money or not."
"In fact, we've calculated that the losses caused by traffic congestion are far greater than the cost of towing."
"On a smaller scale, traffic jams cause many vehicles to waste fuel and a lot of time for drivers and passengers."
"On a larger scale, this kind of meaningless congestion seriously affects the operation of the social economy and also damages the business environment of our Handong."
Zhang Jingchong was taken aback.
"Good heavens! A traffic jam can affect the business environment?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Ruilong explained, "If you were the owner of a factory, and the transportation of raw materials and finished products was frequently affected by traffic jams, how would you feel?"
Zhang Jingchong clicked his tongue in admiration and said, "No wonder Handong can attract so many private enterprises to invest. Their awareness of serving the people is truly strong!"
"Tell me all the good policies and solutions you have right now, or you're not going back to Handong tonight!!"
