Cheng Yi and his entourage took a flight directly to Donghua and accompanied the old man back to Yanjing. Shen Huai had to stay in Donghua for two days. First, he talked with Guo Chengze and Meng Jiansheng about the issue of Xiapu withdrawing from the county and establishing it as a district. He was not able to participate publicly in this matter, but he also did some promotion work behind the scenes. After removing counties and establishing districts and gaining support from the province, the planning plan still needs to be submitted to the State Council for approval. This is not something that can be completed in a day or two, but it is not impossible for Donghua to do some preparatory work. The main reason for the removal of Xiapu County into a district is to promote the eastward development of Donghua City, and to promote the westward integration of Xiapu into the main city of Donghua. Therefore, in the local soft and hard environment construction plan, the theme of "integration" will be highlighted in the future. . In addition to the existing east extension section of the Xudong Expressway, the east extension section of the Xudong Railway, the Yanjiang Expressway, and Meipu Avenue, the three main roads connecting Lingang New City and the main urban area of ??Donghua will be prioritized for construction. Xiapu has launched a three-year new town construction, and will also give priority to promoting the construction of new towns in the area between Lingang New City and the main urban area, and promote the construction of cooperative industrial parks with Beicheng and Tangzha Districts. It is expected that the local fiscal and tax revenue of Xiapu County will reach a new height of 10 billion in 2002. According to the previous agreement, the local fiscal and tax revenue of Xiapu County will input nearly 5 billion construction funds to the Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund in 2002. The two-year Lanjiang Expressway will be completed in the first half of 2002. Although the budget has exceeded the budget, only 1.2 billion construction funds will be invested in the follow-up. The Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund¡¯s 2002 budget will receive an injection of 7 billion. After deducting the funding for Lanjiang Expressway and other infrastructure projects under construction, there are still more than 4 billion planned funds that have not yet been budgeted. This 4 billion fund is clearly to be used for investment in infrastructure projects in the Huaihai Bay area, but how exactly it will be spent is being fought over by all parties. Huaineng hopes that the government construction fund will increase its investment in the double-track reconstruction of the Xudong Railway, so that it can reduce Huaineng's financial supply pressure on the Xudong Railway in the last year. The Department of Transportation and the Expressway Group hope that the government construction funds will continue to invest in expressways to ensure that the province¡¯s expressway construction can be completed far beyond the plan in the next five years. Cities across the country hope that government construction funds can increase local infrastructure investment in water services, ports, etc., to ease local municipal investment pressure; and within the Meishan Steel System, they hope to focus on strengthening the Meixi Port and Xinpu Port. Infrastructure investment will further consolidate the advantages of the Meixi-Xinpu industrial belt Four billion may seem like a lot of money, but it is not worth the money. Shen Huai still hopes to promote the launch of one or two major infrastructure projects that will help improve the industry and investment environment of Huaihai Bay. However, all parties emphasize that the major infrastructure projects they are launching are all major infrastructure projects that are crucial to local economic development, so they are competing for them. Last year, the key infrastructure projects supported by government funds in 2002 had not been released as of mid-December. Similarly, Shen Huai does not hold a director position in the Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund, and it is inconvenient to publicly participate in discussions on the use of infrastructure funds. He also uses this as an excuse to refuse others to lobby on his side. Shen Huai stayed in Donghua and publicly participated in the discussion on the progress of the second phase of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project. Although Xinpu Refining and Chemical is dominated by Meishan Iron and Steel, CNOOC and Huaihai Financial Investment are the second and third largest shareholders. As Shen Huai is also the chairman of Huaihai Financial Investment, he can naturally participate openly in the preparations for the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical. Come. However, the biggest problem at the moment is not funds, construction land, or market digestion, but the intention of Ronshine and Sinopec to launch a large-scale refining and chemical project in Xinjin. Five years ago, Rongxin was determined to join hands with Sinopec to build a large-scale refinery. At that time, it was interested in the land selected by Xinpu Refining and Chemical. At that time, it used all kinds of means to stop the first phase of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical project. Shen Huai withstood pressure from all sides, and finally, with the support of Cheng Yi¡¯s father and Tian Jiageng, joined forces with CNOOC and provincial state-owned assets to promote the successful approval of the construction of Xinpu Refining. This also made Ronshine¡¯s plan to incubate the petrochemical industry in Xinpu aborted. In the later period, Rongxin Group shifted the focus of industrial investment to Xinjin, but the steel industry alone could not support the rapid development of Xinjin Port. Xinjin Iron and Steel was completed, Provincial Steel was fully restructured, and Rongxin Iron and Steel United Group Co., Ltd. controlled by Rongxin was also established as scheduled. The pursuit of building a large-scale refining and chemical project in Xinjin Port has also become the most urgent step for Rongxin to deploy in the development process of the industrial system. chess. Relying on the deep-water seaport, the development of heavy and chemical industries, steel and petrochemicals are the two most important fulcrums. Although the country has stepped up its efforts in industrial and infrastructure construction in the past two years and relaxed the approval process for large-scale heavy and chemical industry projects, national ministries and commissions still have no intention of approving a prefecture-level city to launch two large-scale refining and chemical projects at the same time. Fellow DonghuaWe can only undertake one large-scale refining and chemical project. The conflict lies in whether we should let Meishan Iron and Steel undertake it or let Rongxin undertake it? Speaking of preparations, Ronshine and Sinopec have been in contact since 1995 to discuss the construction of related large-scale refining and chemical projects. Speaking of planning, when the construction of Xinjin Lingang Industrial Zone started, a petrochemical industrial park was planned. When it comes to support at the industrial level, Ronshine and Sinopec are both backbone state-owned enterprises. Among the three petrochemical giants, Sinopec is much stronger than CNOOC, which was only established in 1988. Ronxin Group¡¯s development in the heavy chemical industry has just started, while Sinopec is the absolute main force in the domestic heavy chemical industry. As early as 1995, Ronshine was interested in attracting Sinopec to build a refining base in Donghua. Sinopec was reluctant to refuse, but its mentality was indifferent. In addition to Sinopec's main focus on increasing the construction of Zhenhai refining base at that time, the more important thing was What's more, the status of Huaihai Bay has not yet become prominent at that time. Tian Jiageng proposed a large-scale framework for the development of the Huaihai Bay economy, and Xu Pei proposed a more specific Huaihai Bay economic regional plan, including Xudong Expressway, Xudong Railway Double Track Project, Lanjiang Expressway, Xuhuai Expressway, Zhujiang Main Channel Dredging, etc. Major infrastructure projects have been launched, and Donghua's river-sea intermodal transport ports have actually become a core hub port extending to the provinces in East China and the Central Plains. Therefore, Donghua¡¯s position has become prominent in Sinopec¡¯s refining and chemical industry planning and development layout. In this cooperation, Sinopec showed a stronger willingness than Ronshine, which was unexpected by Shen Huai and was also the biggest obstacle to the launch of the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical. Regarding the division of labor among the three oil giants by national ministries and commissions, PetroChina mainly focuses on the exploitation of onshore oil and gas resources, CNOOC mainly focuses on the exploitation of offshore oil and gas resources, and Sinopec, in addition to the exploration of oil and gas resources, also mainly develops the refining and chemical industry. From this perspective alone, Sinopec has greater priority than CNOOC in constructing refining and chemical projects. "As for Donghua, Donghua's GDP will reach 120 billion in 2001, and Xiapu County will account for almost half of it. Although this shows that Xiapu County¡¯s economy has developed rapidly in the past six or seven years, it also shows that the structure of Donghua¡¯s rapid development has been unbalanced. Xiapu County naturally hopes that the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical will be approved for construction as scheduled to further consolidate the advantages of the petrochemical industry, while other districts and counties in Donghua are more inclined to balanced development at this time. It goes without saying that Fan Wenzhi, Yu Chengzhen and others supported Ronshine and Sinopec, but Guo Chengze, Meng Jiansheng and others also became indecisive. While the Shenhuai people were in Donghua, Guo Chengze also talked about these issues with him: "Can Xinjin Refining and Chemical be launched first this time, and the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical can be delayed for two years?" "Donghua will achieve 100 billion steel in the future. The two industrial pillars of Xinpu Refining and Petrochemicals sometimes require some sacrifices from Meishan Steel. " Shen Huai knew that Guo Chengze and Meng Jiansheng were calculating a simple account. If this time Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II will combine Rongxin and Sinopec. If the projects are squeezed out, Ronshine and Sinopec cannot wait and may choose sites in other cities to build refining and chemical projects. Even if the second phase of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II is delayed for two years, the Donghua project will not be able to fly in the end. It¡¯s just that Shen Huai knows that Meishan Iron and Steel is not facing the problem of delaying the construction of the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical for two years. No one can easily shake Sinopec¡¯s priority in developing the refining and chemical industry in China. At present, the biggest advantage Meishan Steel has is that Xinpu Refining and Chemical has been successfully put into operation for many years, forming a first-mover advantage in Huaihai Bay. Once Meishan Iron and Steel gives in at this time and asks Rongxin and Sinopec to successfully implement the refining and chemical project in Xinjin, the first-mover advantage held by Meishan Iron and Steel will be lost. And in the future, as long as Rongxin and Sinopec want to continue to expand refining and chemical production capacity, Meishan Iron and Steel and CNOOC have to give way to them. Under the current situation, whether the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical can be approved, the support of Guo and Jian is indispensable. Shen Huai didn't know why Guo Chengze and Meng Jiansheng became weak this time, but he wanted to go back to the province to discuss the matter with Xu Pei and Li Gu, and didn't want to argue with Guo and Meng. After chatting for a while, he left. leave. ************************ After leaving Guo Chengze¡¯s office, Shen Huai asked Tang Baocheng, Qin Dawei and others to return to the province first. He would stay in Donghua for another day. Thinking about meeting Chen Dan. "Unfortunately, although Chen Danren is in Donghua, her mother has had a minor surgery in the past few years, so she had to go out to have lunch with Shen Huai, and then go back to the hospital to take care of her mother in the afternoon. Shen Huai parked his car by Green Lake in the afternoon. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not do not know why he was so impatient when he heard a car honking his horn behind him. He looked back and saw Xie Zhi sitting in the passenger seat of the car behind.Xie Zhi asked her assistant Feng Yuzhi to drive away and walked to the lakeside trail alone. After what happened that day, Shen Huai never saw Xie Zhi again. He didn't even know what the intimate contact in the car that day meant to the two of them. He guessed that Xie Zhi was avoiding him, maybe because I want to erase what happened that day from the memory of my life. Shen Huai put on his coat, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the lake. Although it is winter, the evergreen trees planted on both sides of the trail around the lake are still deep and green at this time, but the cold wind blowing from the lake makes people shrink their necks. "Didn't you say that the old man and Cheng Yi left long ago? Why are you still staying in Donghua today?" Xie Zhi asked, "Is the work of the Provincial State-owned Assets Office so busy? Or are you staying in Donghua to accompany someone on a special trip? " Shen Huai touched his nose and said, "It's mainly about the second phase of Xinpu Refining. I talked to various people and was exhausted. " " There shouldn't be any progress, right?" "How do you know?" "Hu Lin used to like to play intrigues, so he couldn't defeat you and suffered repeated setbacks. However, Rongxin has been preparing for an honest competition with Sinopec this time. I think they still have some advantages." Xie Zhi said. Shen Huai smiled, spread his hands and said, "We won't know the outcome until the end." "I saw Hong Qi and his new wife the day before yesterday. Seeing him holding the baby, he seemed very satisfied." Xie Zhi added. Shen Huai babbled and didn't know what to say. Except for the accidental incident with him, Xie Zhi had been in love and married with Song Hongqi since she was twenty years old. No matter how indifferent the subsequent relationship was, it was completely impossible to erase this. The traces of marriage in her life. Shen Huai accompanied Xie Zhi on a walk around the lake. This trail around the lake was only completed this year. It is one of the projects to improve the image of Donghua City. It also expands the business district of the main urban area to the shores of Green Lake. The investment in infrastructure mainly comes from the transfer of surrounding construction land. Unknowingly, walking outside a community in Huxi, Shen Huai remembered that Xie Zhi had an apartment in this community and asked, "Do you want me to come up and sit down?" When he met Shen Huai, Xie Zhi wanted to talk to him. , I didn't expect to go anywhere else. I didn't expect that Shen Huai would ask such a question when he walked downstairs. They were both grown men and women. Xie Zhi naturally understood the meaning of Shen Huai's words. Her fair and beautiful face was stained with red. She wanted to say that Shen Huai was overthinking it, but the words did not come out of her mouth. There were also charming thoughts in her heart, thinking about what she was doing that day. She was the only one who was crazy in the car, and she still owed it to Shen Huai after all. Although she was venting her emotions that day, the feeling of bursting was still becoming clearer in her mind during this period, calling her A strange desire grows in my heart. "It's just that after that day, Xie Zhi was at a loss. She didn't know how to deal with the twisted emotions between her and Shen Huai, so she could only hide away. Today she met again by chance, and all she could think about was a chat between old friends, but things had come to this point, and she felt very sorry not to invite Shen Huai upstairs. Xie Zhi didn't say anything at the moment, and turned back to the community. Listening to Shen Huai's footsteps behind her, her heart started to panic, and she didn't know what was going on now. Entering the elevator, Shen Huai stretched out his hand, and Xie Zhi subconsciously withdrew his hand to avoid it. Seeing Shen Huai's expression was solemn, he explained inexplicably softly: "There is a camera." The two entered the room without saying anything, and Xie Zhi was hiding Kissing Shen Huai, but the desire that arose in her heart was also urgent. The temperature in the room was still cold. Xie Zhi took off her coat, but she was still wearing a woolen sweater, with her slender white legs bare. She was still sitting in the car like that day. On Shen Huai's lap After Xie Zhi's madness, she came back from the clouds and regained consciousness. She was exhausted and rested, but she still maintained such an active posture until Shen Huai was released from pleasure. After finishing, Xie Zhi was sweating profusely and almost collapsed from exhaustion. She hid in the bathroom holding her clothes and pants. She wanted to turn on the faucet, but she felt her feet were soft. She was squatting next to the bathtub and wanted to cry inexplicably See Shen Huai Xie Zhi entered the bathroom but didn't hear the sound of water for a long time. She opened the door and saw Xie Zhi turning her back, covering her face and squatting next to the bathtub. She was still wearing a woolen sweater, barefoot and with her white buttocks bare. She asked worriedly: "Are you okay? Right?" "Get out." Xie Zhi covered her face, feeling very embarrassed at this time. Shen Huai stayed close to the door and refused to leave. Xie Zhi still covered her face and said in a low voice: "I feel comfortable. This is the first time I feel so comfortable. You should be proud of it." Shen Huai couldn't help but want to whistle, and asked: "Should I stay with you tonight?" "No. If you stay, I don't want to fall in love with anyone in my life." Xie Zhi held on to the bathtub and tried to stand up, but she felt pregnant.Something came out of her vagina. She lowered her head and saw a few drops on the ground. Of course she knew what it was. She turned around and saw Shen Huai's eyes staring at the ground and her thighs. He was so embarrassed that he threw the clothes and pants in his hands at Shen Huai. , said, "You go and buy medicine for me. If I want to get pregnant, I have to jump into the river" Shen Huai stayed shamelessly and tormented Xie Zhi until midnight. Xie Zhi was also "unfeeling". She really didn't have the energy to ask for sex anymore, and she didn't care that she kicked Shen Huai out before dawn. Shen Huai could only get in the car and sleep first, and then drove back to Xucheng until dawn. **************************** Back home, Shen Huai wanted to catch up on some more sleep, but he never expected a call from Li Gu. It was said that Lanshan Municipal Party Committee Secretary Pang Yunsong was in Xucheng and wanted to drag him out for lunch. Shen Huai was still thinking about whether Pang Yunsong was in Xucheng or not. What did it have to do with him? He didn't get enough rest and exerted too much energy. His bones were about to fall apart. He wanted to refuse, but then he thought of something. He believed that Pang Yunsong's visit was not without purpose. At that moment, I got up from the bed, turned on the hot water, and wanted to take a bath before going to the dinner, but I didn't want to fall asleep in the bathtub. Shen Huai woke up when he heard someone pushing the door. Seeing that it was Kou Xuan, Shen Huai pulled a towel to cover himself and asked, "When did you finish class?" "It's already twelve o'clock, and I don't have class in the afternoon. Why did you not come back after eating in the cafeteria? Why did you fall asleep in the bathtub? What bad things did you do last night?" Kou Xuan stared at Shen Huai's face suspiciously, thinking. You need to see some seriousness on his face. Shen Huai didn't expect to sleep in the bathtub for two hours. Fortunately, he had turned down the hot water but not turned it off. Otherwise, he would have woken up from the cold in the bathtub, which would have been better. "We talked about things very late, and drove back early, so we didn't get enough sleep." Shen Huai explained casually. "Only a ghost can believe it," Kou Xuan licked her delicate lips and asked, "Then what do you have for lunch? Do you want me to go back to the cafeteria to buy a meal for you?" "There is a dinner party," Shen Huai said. ¡°It¡¯s really corrupt,¡± Kou Xuan said. Although there was no call to urge him, Shen Huai didn't know if Li Gu and Pang Yunsong were impatient. They asked Kou Xuan to go out first and not to hinder him from getting dressed. Kou Xuan glanced at Shen Huai's chest helplessly. He walked out reluctantly.
