Chapter 3621

After returning to Linshan, Su Xinghui had Xing Guodong instruct the transportation department to put the reconstruction of the national highway between Linshan and Tangchuan on the work agenda, because the provincial government's funding was about to arrive, and the preparations for Linshan's expressway and high-speed railway construction also needed to begin.

Su Xinghui's one trip to Yanzhong City had suddenly brought so many major projects to Linshan, which once again shocked the entire city. Linshan had always been disliked in Yanzhong Province, and Linshan never had a share in provincial expressway projects because Linshan's economy was too underdeveloped, making the cost-effectiveness of building an expressway there too low.

Another reason, of course, was that Linshan's leadership ability was too poor, and they had no good ideas for economic development. Why should the province support them in building an expressway?

Now that Su Xinghui had arrived, he had immediately secured several major projects for Linshan. How could the people of Linshan not be excited? They seemed to see another Baozhou City rising.

Reconstructing the national highway between Linshan and Tangchuan wasn't too difficult, as it was being rebuilt on the original site and didn't require re-selection. So, as long as there was sufficient funding, the entire highway was expected to be open to traffic by next year.

Now was also a relatively good opportunity, because Linshan's coal mines were basically all suspended for rectification, so there were no large trucks on this national highway, making it the perfect time for reconstruction.

Su Xinghui planned that even after the coal mines resumed production in the future, the coal produced would mainly be transported out by rail, with fewer large trucks on the road, as large trucks were too destructive to the road surface.

In addition, Su Xinghui also planned to integrate the Linshan Coal Chemical Plant, a large state-owned enterprise, with several other state-owned enterprises in the city related to the coal industry to form a large coal chemical group. This way, most of the coal produced in Linshan could be consumed within the city.

Soon, Linshan submitted the project proposal for reconstructing the national highway between Linshan and Tangchuan, as well as for building the expressway and high-speed railway, to the provincial government. After provincial approval, it could be sent to the National Development and Reform Commission for approval.

In early September, the new Executive Vice Mayor of Linshan, Cao Yuanhao, arrived. His arrival didn't have the grand scene that Su Xinghui's did; the Provincial Party Organization Department only sent a cadre division director to escort him to Linshan. Linshan, of course, didn't arrange any welcoming ceremony, and he just quietly reported to the Linshan Municipal Party Organization Department.

Of course, Su Xinghui still held a welcoming banquet for him and held a welcome meeting to express his welcome for his arrival.

Cao Yuanhao was in his early forties and wore gold-rimmed glasses, appearing gentle and refined, looking like a very learned person. He was indeed somewhat learned; he graduated from a prestigious university, later studied as an on-the-job graduate student at Jingcheng University, and had published several theoretical articles in internal publications, so he had some theoretical foundation.

At the welcome meeting, Cao Yuanhao spoke. His speech was quite humble and low-key. He said that coming to Linshan, he wanted to learn from Mayor Su Xinghui and other leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Government, because this was his first time serving as a main government leader at a local government level, and he still needed to adapt to the government's work.

Serving as an Executive Vice Mayor was indeed his first time. He had been a secretary for several years and had always worked in party and mass affairs or propaganda and cultural departments. The specific practical work on the government side was indeed quite unfamiliar to him.
