Chapter 582: Reconstruction (2)
Mulan City Government,
In the large conference room, the heads of the main government agencies of Mulan City and the main leaders of various counties gathered together.
There are banners hanging in the conference room.
Mulan Special Zone's work promotion meeting on aiding sister cities!
This was before the Spring Festival. Director Chen called Yin Xinjun to Beijing for a meeting. The two sides talked about food issues, industrialization, and various aspects of national economic development.
The final consensus reached was that
We should give full play to the advantages of Mulan Special Zone, assist a group of sister cities, realize the point-to-surface effect, and promote the leapfrog development of the national economy!
Among them, Mulan City provides counterpart assistance to Changchun City!
The four counties under the Mulan Special Zone assisted in the construction of four cities in the interior of China, namely Shijiazhuang, Jinan, Zhengzhou, and Xuzhou.
These four cities are all railway hubs with very convenient transportation. Moreover, the box connecting these four cities is located in the main grain-producing area of North China, on a flat plain!
The original plan was to use food-related synthetic ammonia fertilizer plants and agricultural machinery as the main areas of aid. Now, after discussing it, the two of them decided to provide all-round aid to these four cities, including transportation infrastructure construction, factory openings and so on!
Yin Xinjun looked at the people below and said slowly,
"The city has decided that Bin County will provide counterpart assistance to Shijiazhuang City, Mulan County will provide counterpart assistance to Zhengzhou City, Tonghe County will provide counterpart assistance to Jinan City, and Fangzheng County will provide counterpart assistance to Xuzhou City.
From the current perspective, Fangzheng County is moving the fastest and the project has already started. Let me remind you that spring comes early in the interior of the country. I will give you a week to prepare. The construction of chemical plants, fertilizer plants, and power plants must get started. This year, our equipment manufacturing industry has developed rapidly, and infrastructure cannot lag behind!
The infrastructure construction of each factory built this time must be completed before the end of September, and the installation and commissioning of equipment should be completed, so as to start production before New Year's Day!"
Sai Mulan was the first to speak.
"I would like to do it, but the land in Zhengzhou is not ready yet. If our construction team goes there, we don't know where to work."
There was laughter in the conference room!
Yin Xinjun said helplessly,
"If it's the other party's problem, I'll report it to Director Chen and ask the superiors to coordinate and solve it. This year, the national liberation has entered the countdown. The most important task facing our Mulan Special District is to maintain a high-speed development trend while assisting backward areas and promoting the early realization of comprehensive industrialization across the country!"
Cai Chuanshan, the county magistrate of Bin County, said,
"We have sent people to Shijiazhuang, and Shijiazhuang has been very cooperative. The land is almost ready, but who should pay for the construction? Shijiazhuang said that their government has no money! Not a penny! Even if we provide the equipment and other expenses, it will still cost a lot of money!"
Su Fei took over the conversation.
"Now let's not divide what's yours and what's mine. There's a lot of work to be done. Let's just make our lives better. Each county will advance the funds first, and we can talk about it after the work is done!"
Cai Chuanshan said,
"I'm not stingy. I promised to build canals and roads for Shijiazhuang, but someone has to take the credit after the work is done!"
Yin Xinjun smiled.
"I know that your counties have a good fiscal surplus, ranging from 40-50 billion to more than 100 billion. Money is definitely not a problem. Even if there are any difficulties, the city will cover them. The Municipal Finance Bureau still has tens of billions in its account! Starting tomorrow, 50 billion will be allocated to each of your counties!"
Since the end of the three major battles, the demand in Jiangbei has been strong. Trains pull a large amount of supplies from Mulan every day, and the RMB for settlement is constantly pouring in. Moreover, for Yin Xinjun, he now earns over 100 million yuan a day just by selling the mineral resources in the space, so he is not short of money at all!
When several county governors heard that the city’s finances would provide a guarantee, they immediately burst into laughter.
Jiang Yong, director of the Municipal Supply and Marketing Bureau, said,
"From the end of last year to now, the Supply and Marketing Bureau has issued a large number of outsourcing bidding notices and signed more than 1100 outsourcing contracts! From April, a large number of equipment will be delivered, including thermal power generating units, chemical plant equipment, and fertilizer plant equipment. So I suggest that there is no need to consider building new factories for aid projects. Try to use old factories for simple renovation to save time. For example, I heard that Changchun City’s Second Chemical Plant is an old factory. Once the equipment is moved in, it will be able to be debugged and put into production soon!"
Wang Shuigen, Director of the Construction Bureau, said,
"You don't know, the industrial base inside the Great Wall is too weak. During this period, I also went to Shijiazhuang and Zhengzhou. There are less than 20 factories in these two places combined. It's not like our Northeast, where any city has dozens of factories, but in Mulan Special Zone, any county has hundreds of factories!"
Su Fei also said,
"So, this time the country instructed us to provide aid to quickly promote the development of the interior. Comrades, think about it, Henan Province has a larger population than our Northeast, but its industry is so backward. The people there are eager for our help!"
Yin Xinjun also sighed.
"The Kuomintang does nothing but fight wars every day. In addition to the backward industry, the railways and roads in the interior are also very backward, and transportation is extremely inconvenient. However, this is not a problem. Infrastructure is our Mulan's strong point. I require each of your counties to invest at least 20 billion yuan this year to specifically build local transportation infrastructure!"
Wang Shuigen continued to report,
"This year, our entire special zone has invested in two major infrastructure projects: one is the Martyrs Cemetery, and the other is to continue to build a war reserve depot! Other roads, railways, and bridges have almost achieved full grid coverage. Every village has a 7-meter-wide road. There is really no place to build more!"
When Yin Xinjun heard this, he was moved and asked,
"When the Martyrs' Cemetery starts construction this year, please notify me and I will definitely go there!"
This martyrs' cemetery has been planned for a long time. Originally, Yin Xinjun wanted to build one in Jingpo Lake, but it was not realized due to the long journey and busy work. Later, he thought about it and decided to build one in Mulan. After all, it would be convenient to build one in his own territory!
Wang Shuigen said,
"Okay, Mayor, as for this year's oil reserves, according to our superiors, it would be best if they could be connected to the Anda Oilfield's oil pipeline, so that transportation would be more convenient!"
Anda Oilfield has begun to build an oil pipeline to the interior, and Director Chen also said that a large petrochemical plant may be built in Tianjin within the interior, and the plan is currently under discussion!
These major projects were being planned even before the whole country was liberated, and were naturally still influenced by the powerful manufacturing industry in Mulan Special Zone.
What makes Yin Xinjun excited and proud is that the country is already considering building several large-scale industrial bases. Thinking of his previous life, he felt distressed when the country ended up owing a lot of debts because it needed aid from the Russians. At least, the current industrial base has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to his previous life!
