"Do you have any new ideas about the future of our Tiannan Province?" Tan Chiren looked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi thought for a while and said: "Once we form strategic business cooperation with the eastern region, especially Suhai Province, given the current situation that Suhai Province attaches great importance to the markets of ASEAN countries, we will definitely establish a regional cooperation in Tiannan Province Supply chain center because we can help Soviet companies quickly enter the consumer market of ASEAN countries."
"Our economy will also take off!"
"But here comes the problem. When the time comes, we will definitely form a parallel competitive relationship with Hai Viet Province. If we want to develop, we must not only embrace the eastern region, but we must also develop ourselves! Otherwise, we will run out of Dongfeng , it will still fall." Qin Yi analyzed.
In the past life, as Tiannan Province embraced the eastern region, and with the gradual rise of the Beibu Gulf port, it was listed as one of the top ten domestic coastal ports. Although it was at the bottom, it also brought a certain vigilance and competition to Haiyue Province. relationship, so Hai Viet Province began to spend money to develop Cham Kien's port, comprehensively upgrade Cham Kien's seaport, airport, and railway port facilities, and fully support Cham Kien's accelerated rise. The two sides launched an in-depth game around "the largest port in the southwest."
"Your analysis is good." Everyone nodded.
"In addition, we have to face another pressure, and that is Yunnan Province behind us. In a few years, when the Zhonglao Railway is officially put into operation, Yunnan Province's status as the "bridgehead" of Dongnan will become even more prominent, which is very important for us. The pressure is huge.”
As soon as these words came out, the secretary, provincial governor and several provincial standing committee members fell silent.
It is true that when they saw the brother next door working on this railway a few years ago, they knew that there was another strong competitor in the southwest.
On the contrary, they in Tiannan Province are unable to achieve success in the east or in the west, and are extremely uncomfortable!
"In the words of the ancients, you need to be strong to make iron! Even if we can borrow the east wind of our second brother Suhai Province, there will always be a day when the borrowing is finished. If we do not develop by a qualitative leap, we will still have difficulty in the future. ." Qin Yu analyzed objectively.
"Do you have any ideas to change our current situation?" Provincial Party Committee Secretary Liang Qiu stared at Qin Yi closely.
"If we want to make a qualitative leap forward, we must combine our own advantages to complete new changes!"
"What are our advantages? We have a seaport and developed river transportation inland. We are the bridgehead for ASEAN countries!"
"But we have a fatal weakness. Our rivers all flow eastward to the ports in Haiyue Province, instead of flowing into our ports in the Beibu Gulf!" Qin Yidao.
"Our Xijiang River, Yongjiang River, etc. are not connected to our Beibu Gulf port!"
"The waterway is the golden waterway! Our rivers and seas are not connected, so our economy has never been able to develop!"
"What do you mean?" Provincial Party Committee Secretary Liang Qiu and Governor Tan Chiren's eyes lit up, and they had a vague guess.
"The Xijiang River, Yongjiang River and other rivers in our province only flow eastward into Haiyue Province, and do not flow southward into our Beibu Gulf ports. So, why can't we develop it manually! For example, build the Bailu Canal ! Let’s connect the rivers and seas in our province!”
As soon as these words came out, a group of people were shocked!
"The Pinglu Canal runs from Luwu Town, Lingshan County, along the Qinjiang River and into the Beibu Gulf! It perfectly combines the advantages of our inland rivers with the advantages of our ports!" Qin Yi said firmly.
In the previous life, the Pinglu Canal started construction in 2022 and was expected to be completed in 2026. It has a total length of 134.2 kilometers and a designed annual one-way throughput capacity of 89 million tons. The project mainly includes the renovation of waterways, shipping hubs, water conservancy facilities and the construction of supporting cross-river projects along the route. The total estimated budget of the project is approximately 72.7 billion yuan. The entire canal has a drop of 60 meters and is navigable for ships up to 5,000 tons. After completion, the distance from Tiannan City to the sea from Qingang via the Pinglu Canal will be only 291 kilometers, which is more than 560 kilometers shorter than the distance from Haiyue Province to the sea.
After completion, the Pinglu Canal will not only support the development of Tiannan Province, but will also become the shortest, most economical and most convenient sea access channel in southwest China.
The reduction in transportation costs brought about by the transfer of freight volume from existing channels due to the construction of the Pinglu Canal can reach more than 5.2 billion yuan per year. In the future, it will play an important supporting role in the foreign trade economy and domestic demand freight business of many domestic provinces, and will Vigorously promote industrial development in areas along the line!
"If the Pinglu Canal is completed and opened to navigation, I believe that the entire economy of our Tiannan Province will be driven to a higher level by it! It will also perfectly fit in with our three ports in the Beibu Gulf, allowing our coastal ports to further Upgrade! Charge to the first port in the southwest!"
Qin Yi's words made Liang Qiu, Tan Chiren and others' eyes light up when they heard this.
Indeed, Qin Yi's idea made them see another side!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Qin Yi continued with a smile: "Actually, my suggestion is not just an empty mouth. It is based on the real situation of our Tiannan Province and combined with our own current advantages. Of course, I am inspired by Inspired by Mr. Sun a hundred years ago, in fact, a hundred years ago, Mr. Sun proposed to open the Pinglu Canal manually, but unfortunately it was not opened at that time..."
To put it bluntly, the Beibu Gulf Port of Tiannan Province (including the port of Haitong City) is not connected to several major rivers in the province, resulting in the disconnection of river-sea transportation lines. This makes it difficult for the Beibu Gulf Port to develop, even if it develops. , and it is difficult to reach a certain height.
The areas connected by the river and the sea have become rich.
For example, Hai Viet Province (connecting the Pearl River and the coast)
For example, Magic City. (Huangpu River and coastal connections)
For example, the Jinghang Grand Canal. (Canal and sea connection)
What about Tiannan Province?
Our own Xijiang River, Yongjiang River, etc. are not connected to the Beibu Gulf port on our southern coast. They are disconnected. These rivers flow eastward, into Haiyue Province, and into other people's rivers and seas.
If the rivers and seas are blocked, the routes will be blocked!
If the Pinglu Canal is opened, then several ports in the Beibu Gulf will be directly connected to the inland rivers such as the Xijiang, Yongjiang, and Lijiang rivers. In this way, the river-sea transportation lines will be connected, which will allow several coastal ports in the Beibu Gulf to be officially opened. !
By then, the goods in Tiannan Province's inland area will be directly connected to the southern Beibu Gulf port. The port will be able to connect directly to the routes of ASEAN countries and also connect routes to other places. This will have strategic significance!
In the previous life, the construction of the Bailu Canal started in 2022 and was expected to be completed in 2026. Generally speaking, it is still a bit late.
If the project can be started in the next year and a half, it will be even more significant to strive for navigation before 2021!
