"Mr. Sun did bring up this idea a hundred years ago, and what you said is indeed a good idea!" Liang Qiu, secretary of the Tiannan Provincial Party Committee, nodded slightly.
Anyone who is familiar with history knows that the respected Mr. Sun mentioned this incident in advance, and it is recorded in history.
If the Pinglu Canal is opened to connect the rivers and seas in Tiannan Province, then the province's inland waterways and coastal ports will be completely connected!
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first!
Compared with land transportation, water transportation is more cost-effective, especially for large goods, almost 90% of which rely on water transportation.
"Building a canal is definitely an opportunity for our Tiannan Province! Mayor Qin, I have to say that your idea is very good." Tan Chiren gave a thumbs up.
"It seems that we have never built an artificial canal in China in the past hundred years, right?" A member of the Provincial Standing Committee said.
"Yes, not yet!"
"In other words, if our Tiannan Province builds this Pinglu Canal, it will be the first canal in our country in a century!"
"Seems to be!"
"According to Mayor Qin's analysis just now, if we can build this Pinglu Canal, then it will be an important opportunity for our Tiannan Province to transform its economy and change its destiny!"
"As long as our rivers and seas are connected, coupled with our close economic and trade ties with ASEAN countries, and if we can catch the express train of Suhai Province's second brother, our economy will definitely take off!"
Suddenly, many people began to discuss it. The more they discussed, the more they felt the importance of the Pinglu Canal.
Qin Yi looked at a group of people talking and thought to himself, if the project can be started next year, next year will be 2018. If the project can be started in 2018, it will start 4 years earlier than 2022 in the previous life! Maybe it will be completed and open to navigation in three or four years!
Is three or four years enough?
Will it be too short?
To put it bluntly, it depends on the availability of funds.
There is no problem with the availability of funds, so for China Infrastructure, three or four years is not a problem at all.
What does that say? For China Infrastructure, as long as you have enough money and no debts, if there are 48 hours in a day, he can give you a full 48 hours!
Not to mention there are only twenty-four hours in a day~
"Everyone, please be quiet. I also think that opening the Pinglu Canal is a feasible plan! But opening a canal is not just something we want to open. How about tens of billions of dollars?" Liang Qiu, Secretary of the Tiannan Provincial Party Committee Speak slowly.
As soon as these words came out, many people calmed down.
yes!
Opening a canal is not as simple as imagined.
The entire site is hundreds of kilometers long, how much land needs to be acquired and relocated?
How much soil will need to be dug?
How many riverbanks need to be built to protect the river, and how many bridges need to be built?
With a base of tens of billions, are you afraid that you won’t be able to start with 60 to 70 billion?
Sixty to seventy billion doesn't seem like much to a province's GDP, but you have to look at your province's fiscal revenue.
In the first quarter of this year, Tiannan Province’s first quarter fiscal revenue was 65 billion! In other words, the government's fiscal revenue this year may be about 260 billion.
You spent 60 to 70 billion at once to build the canal, but what about the 60 to 70 billion holes?
Throughout the province, all kinds of expenses depend on the fiscal revenue. A quarter to a third of the revenue was spent to build a canal.
So.
How will the province's fiscal expenditure be used to fill this gap of 60 to 70 billion in the next year?
A province, even a city, or a county has fiscal revenue, but it also needs fiscal expenditure.
Take a province as an example, it has the following fiscal expenditures: capital construction expenditures, enterprise potential tapping and transformation funds, geological exploration expenses, expenditures to support rural production, business expenses for agriculture, forestry, water conservancy and meteorology and other departments, business expenses for industrial, transportation, and commercial departments, etc. Expenses for culture, education, science and health, retirement expenditures of administrative institutions, social security subsidy expenditures, administrative fees, policy subsidy expenditures, etc.
Take the simplest school construction. Originally, the province was going to build as many new schools as possible this year, but due to the sudden shortage of tens of billions of dollars in finance, it was temporarily shelved.
Some towns and villages need some roads, but because there is no money in the finance, well, they will not be built for the time being.
And so on.
"Actually, even if it costs tens of billions, for the sake of the province's new economic lifeline and for our Tiannan Province to take off, even if we have to suffer for a few years, we will grit our teeth and squeeze out the money!" Governor Tan Chiren said earnestly. .
"Governor Tan is right!"
"I think so too!"
"However, opening the Pinglu Canal is not something we can do just because we want to do it, because once the Pinglu Canal is opened, it will change the pattern of the Pearl River Basin, and there are many factors!"
“Our province simply does not have the right to do this!”
"We need the approval of the National Academy of Sciences!" Liang Qiu, secretary of the Tiannan Provincial Party Committee, took a breath.
Then the problem arises.
It's not easy to persuade the leaders in the capital. It's not just because your next application is to open the Pinglu Canal, the higher ups will just open it for you.
impossible!
Besides, for decades or hundreds of years, China has never opened a canal. This kind of thing is a century-old project for the entire country!
"Mayor Qin, what do you think is the chance that if we submit an application to the capital to open the Pinglu Canal, it will be approved?" Liang Qiu looked at Qin Yi.
"Ahem... How can a little person like me dare to speculate on the thoughts of the leaders above? I just proposed the opening of the Pinglu Canal based on the economic development of our Tiannan Province. Whether it will be approved, I dare not make random guesses, and I cannot guess." Qin Yi spread his hands in a bachelor manner.
To put it bluntly, he is the one who comes up with ideas and has no idea what the leaders in the capital think.
Although it is said that the Bailu Canal will definitely be opened in the previous life, it will happen a few years later. Who knows what the leaders above are thinking a few years ago now?
He didn't dare to guarantee this.
"However, I think whether the superiors agree or not, the two leaders need to go to the capital to try it out before they know." Qin Yi said.
To put it bluntly, it depends on how many leaders the secretary and governor know in the capital. It is best to know the leaders of key departments such as the National Academy of Sciences.
If there is interest and support from these leaders, the success rate will be very high!
"Well, Mayor Qin, you put forward such a blueprint that no one can refuse, and it gives us a headache, right?" Tan Chiren scolded with a smile.
"Hey, governor, a little guy like me can only come up with ideas." Qin Yi smiled.
