Chapter 2147

Currently, the company's funds were all in place, a small part of which was appropriations from the two provinces, about 50 percent was a loan from the World Bank, and the remaining funds were raised from several private consortiums.

Su Xinghui and Xiangjia County Director Huang Bo had already done the preparatory work very well in the early stages, so once the project was approved and the funds were in place, this Changjiangdaqiao could start construction immediately.

This Changjiangdaqiao was expected to be completed within five years. Its construction period was about a year longer than the Shangjun Changjiangdaqiao, because the river surface here was wider, the length of the bridge was much longer, and the construction difficulty had increased accordingly.

After the Changjiangdaqiao started construction, the first park in Chongjin County seat also began construction. This park was located in the southwest corner of Chongjin County seat, in an area near the residential area of the new district. There was a small lake here, and a small river connected it to Yanglan Lake. Building a park here could not be better.

In the past, Chongjin County had pitifully few cultural, entertainment, and leisure facilities, with only one cinema and one theater, and nothing else at all. Moreover, fewer and fewer people were watching movies and plays now, and this cinema and theater were becoming increasingly depressed.

These facilities certainly could not meet the needs of the Chongjin County seat, where the population would increase rapidly in the future, so building a park could be considered an urgent matter.

This park would include the small lake with an area of nearly one square kilometer. Various pavilions and towers would be built in the park, as well as several bridge corridors, to build it into a garden with Jiangnan charm. In the park, some benches for tourists to rest would also be placed, and some fitness equipment would be placed to make it a good place for the elderly to exercise.

In addition to this park, Su Xinghui would also build a stadium near the park, which would include an open-air football field, basketball court, tennis court, and badminton court, etc. The investment in such an open-air stadium would not be very large, but it could better meet some of the exercise and leisure needs of nearby residents.

Next to the stadium, Su Xinghui would also build a relatively large library to meet the reading needs of the people in the new district.

This stadium and library would also start construction one after another in the near future.

In early April, another major event happened in Chongjin County, which was the opening of the bus from the eastern suburbs of Chongjin County to the Economic Development Zone.

This was the first bus route in the history of Chongjin County. This was of course a new thing, and more importantly, the practical value of this bus route was also very great.

This bus route led from the eastern suburbs of Chongjin County to the Economic Development Zone, passing through the entire current Chongjin County seat from east to west. Because Chongjin County seat was located between Yanglan Lake and the Changjiang, limited by the terrain, it was a long strip shape that was long from east to west and narrow from north to south. This bus route basically covered all the important sections of the entire county seat.

Now the Economic Development Zone and the new district were becoming more and more prosperous, and more and more people were going there, so the appearance of this bus route met the requirements of a large number of Chongjin County residents. Therefore, as soon as this bus route appeared, the number of passengers every day was quite large, especially during peak hours, and there was also the phenomenon of overcrowding the carriages.

Anyway, the bus fare was very low now, only 50 cents per person, and 50 cents could take you from the eastern suburbs to the Economic Development Zone, which was very cost-effective, and everyone could afford it.

In response to this phenomenon, Su Xinghui requested the newly established bus company to increase the investment in buses and design one or two more bus routes to alleviate such congestion.

The appearance of buses also allowed thieves to find new places to commit crimes. Stealing on buses was the most suitable. There were many people on the bus, and it was extremely crowded. They squeezed into the crowd, and when they came out, they would have two more wallets in their hands. At the next stop, they would get off the bus and flee.

Therefore, in the half month after the appearance of buses, there were as many as hundreds of cases of reporting wallet loss on buses to the police station, which had become a relatively serious social problem.

In response to this phenomenon, the newly appointed captain of the Public Security Bureau's Public Order Brigade, Lu Yecheng, specifically established an anti-pickpocketing squadron, mobilized capable police forces, and carried out a special rectification action, squatting and anti-pickpocketing on buses, which also achieved relatively good results. They captured a large number of thieves and pickpockets, some of whom were habitual thieves who had fled from other places.

Lu Yecheng's measures well curbed the rampant momentum of thieves on buses, which made Su Xinghui very satisfied. This Lu Yecheng was indeed very capable in handling public order, and it was most appropriate for him to be the captain of this Public Order Brigade.

In addition, on the construction sites that were now ubiquitous in Chongjin County, there were also some other hidden dangers of public order, such as stealing construction materials on construction sites, and bullying the market, forcing the sale of construction materials to construction sites, which were emerging one after another.

The Director of the County Public Security Bureau and Secretary of the County Political and Legal Affairs Committee, Gao Tongguang, also increased the patrolling police force in response to these hidden dangers of public order, showing no mercy to those petty thieves, and even more severely cracking down on those gangs that bullied the market and had signs of organized crime, nipping them in the bud before they emerged, and absolutely not allowing them to grow and become a tumor of Chongjin County's social order.

This could also be considered some new topics that appeared in the development process of Chongjin County, because Chongjin County seat was expanding rapidly, and some of the original infrastructure could not keep up. Now, between the new district and the old district of Chongjin County, and between the new district and the Economic Development Zone, the police force was basically a blank, becoming a "three-no" zone, which naturally became a hotbed for criminal activities.

The Director of the Economic Development Zone Police Station, Tang Chaoxin, had the intention to manage it, but he was also powerless. He only had four people under him, even counting himself, five people in total. How many things could they manage? Moreover, their station only had one side-car motorcycle, and their equipment was not as good as the criminals', so they couldn't even catch up.

At this time, Gao Tongguang allocated five more people to the Economic Development Zone Police Station, making the Economic Development Zone Police Station a large station with ten people, and he also applied to the county to upgrade the Economic Development Zone Police Station to a deputy section-level station. In this way, Tang Chaoxin was promoted to deputy section level before the Economic Development Zone was upgraded.

In addition,

Tang Chaoxin could also recruit some auxiliary police officers himself, so that the police force of the Economic Development Zone Police Station basically did not have to worry.

Su Xinghui could of course see what Gao Tongguang's intention was. He was showing favor to him. Tang Chaoxin had arrested Pang Xingjie. No matter what the reason was, Gao Tongguang must have thought that he had instructed Tang Chaoxin to do so. In this way, Tang Chaoxin could be called his meritorious official, and promoting his level was of course giving Su Xinghui face.

Su Xinghui had to accept this favor. The upgrade of the level of the Economic Development Zone Police Station and the strengthening of its strength were also very necessary. Now the jurisdiction area of the Economic Development Zone was getting larger and larger, and the public order situation was getting more and more severe. If the police force could not be strengthened, it would not be a good thing.

The police force of the Economic Development Zone Police Station had increased, but the means of transportation had not been strengthened, because Gao Tongguang said that he could send people to Tang Chaoxin, but he could do nothing about the vehicles, because the county bureau's vehicles were also very tight, so he had to let Tang Chaoxin find a way himself.

What way could Tang Chaoxin find? He could only seek help from Su Xinghui. Now he had already regarded himself as Su Xinghui's person. If he didn't look for Su Xinghui to find a way, who would he look for?

Su Xinghui also did not want the police station to find ways to generate income itself. If the police were also keen on finding ways to generate income, then this work could not be carried out. Therefore, he asked several enterprises in the Economic Development Zone to jointly donate a batch of police cars and police equipment to the County Public Security Bureau. Among them, the Economic Development Zone Police Station benefited the most. They were allocated two jeeps and three side-car motorcycles, which made Tang Chaoxin very happy.

In fact, donating this batch of police cars and police equipment did not cost much money, only about one million, which was a drop in the bucket for enterprises like the Hou Group and the Mi Group that made the donation, but for the Public Security Bureau, this batch of police cars and police equipment was a timely help, greatly improving their mobility and also greatly enhancing their combat effectiveness. ===== CHAPTER 2149 =====
