Chapter 4009

In addition, although this package of economic stimulus plans had been announced, no one knew the interpretation of these policies better than Su Xinghui, so Su Xinghui also wanted to talk to Xing Guodong and Xia Song about the work plan for Linshan City after the implementation of this economic stimulus plan.

Xing Guodong was now the Vice Mayor in charge of the economy, and Xia Song was the Vice District Head of Fengming District in charge of the economy, so they were the specific executors of this economic stimulus plan, and specific executors needed to understand the policy more accurately.

The three of them hadn't eaten together for a long time. Today they chose to eat in a small restaurant in the Linshan New District. Although the restaurant's facade was not big, the taste was quite good. They asked for a private room, ordered a few dishes, and asked for a bottle of wine, then slowly drank the wine with relish.

Regarding this big game, Xing Guodong and Xia Song didn't know. With their status, Su Xinghui of course wouldn't tell them such a major matter. However, they were also very excited about the country's package of economic stimulus plans this time because this was in line with their political philosophy.

Xing Guodong said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor, this time there will be preferential policies for high-tech industries and high-end manufacturing again. This is great news for our Linshan City!"

Xia Song also said, "Yes, Linshan's high-tech industry will definitely be able to develop faster."

Su Xinghui raised his glass and said, "This is indeed good news. Come, let's have a drink together and celebrate."

Everyone drank a glass together, and Xing Guodong asked, "Mayor, now that the new policy has been introduced, how should next year's work be arranged? You have to tell us well."

Xia Song also looked at Su Xinghui with concern. He also hoped that Su Xinghui could help him interpret this new policy. It was impossible for every item and every clause of the policy introduced by the state to be explained in such detail, completely guiding the lower levels on how to do it. Policies were all in the general direction, drawing a frame, letting you toss in this frame, it just depended on how to interpret it.

They all knew Su Xinghui's background. If there was anyone who could completely interpret the mystery of this policy, that was of course Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui smiled slightly and said, "Actually, this policy is also very simple, that is, infrastructure construction is still very important, and infrastructure construction must continue, but it cannot be too advanced. For example, some infrastructure that is obviously not yet usable, building it now is a waste."

What Su Xinghui said, Xing Guodong and Xia Song of course both understood. For example, building a high-speed railway to a no-man's land, isn't that a matter of wasting money and manpower? Although the GDP looks good, it is not practical.

Speaking of which, after the central government's policy was introduced this year, the one that was relatively affected was the Ministry of Railways. The Ministry of Railways had many plans to build high-speed railways in the past two years, which might be cut off and postponed.

Minister Shi of the Ministry of Railways was ambitious and wanted to build tens of thousands of kilometers of high-speed railways in these few years, and he had already succeeded. But now that the policy was introduced, the state's investment in infrastructure was not as large as expected before, so some of his grand plans had to be sacrificed because the cost of building high-speed railways was too high.

These tens of thousands of kilometers of high-speed railways would cost trillions of funds. It was impossible not to cause inflation.

To be honest, a large part of Minister Shi's ambitious plans were indeed too advanced. Like those economically developed regions, and regions with rapid economic development like Baozhou and Linshan, it was very necessary to build high-speed railways because people in these places had this demand and could afford to take high-speed railways.

But in Minister Shi's plan, many economically underdeveloped regions, and not tourist attractions, he also planned to build high-speed railways, which was a bit too advanced.

Of course, these regions would sooner or later build high-speed railways in the future, but was it necessary to build them so early? In fact, in Su Xinghui's previous life, after many high-speed railways were built, the passenger flow was very small. Sometimes a high-speed railway only had dozens of people sitting, and even the operating costs couldn't be recovered.

For such places, it was completely possible to delay building high-speed railways for a few years. By then, the economy would further develop, the target population would be cultivated, and the timing would be quite mature. This could spread the huge funds for building high-speed railways over the next few years, and also saved the huge operating expenses that needed to be paid for those years when there were no passengers.

In Su Xinghui's view, such a delay was better for China's future, and a delay didn't mean not building. Although Minister Shi was unhappy, he should be able to understand.

It was Linshan City that had applied for the construction of a high-speed railway one or two years ago and had received approval. Now the high-speed railway had been built halfway, which was ahead of the policy and created a fait accompli, which was still very timely.

Of course, a large part of Linshan City's funds were loans from the World Bank, so it didn't occupy too much of the state's special funds and didn't put too much pressure on the Ministry of Railways. Such infrastructure construction was also the more the better for the state.

These truths, Xing Guodong and Xia Song both understood, and they both nodded.

Su Xinghui said, "You still have to continue to invest in infrastructure construction. Now it is mainly roads. In the past two years, several main roads leading out of Linshan City have been successfully approved. Now the national highway from Linshan to Tangchuan has been opened to traffic, the expressway from Linshan to Yanzhong can probably be opened to traffic by the end of next year, and the high-speed railway can also be opened to traffic the year after next. But some county roads and village-level roads still need further investment."

"If these main roads are the big arteries of Linshan City, then these low-grade roads are the small blood vessels and capillaries. Although they are inconspicuous, they are also very important and relate to the smooth blood flow of Linshan City. And if these low-grade roads are to be built, the cost is not very high. We must invest gradually every year and strive to make every village in Linshan City have roads within five years."

"Making every village have roads can not only greatly improve the lives of ordinary people, but also allow the special products in the mountains to be transported out, increase the income of ordinary people, and develop Linshan City's economy. Don't underestimate Linshan City's special products. Linshan has many mountains, and there are naturally many special products. If these special products can all be transported out, it is also a figure that cannot be underestimated in economic growth."

Xing Guodong nodded. As the Vice Mayor in charge of the economy, he was now also an expert in the economy. He of course knew that what Su Xinghui said was very correct.

Linshan City's products were indeed very rich, but in the past, because very few villages had roads, most of the products were wasted in vain and rotted in the mountains. This was truly a very regrettable thing.

If roads were built, these products would be transported out of the mountains, and after simple packaging, they could enter supermarkets for sale, or as processing raw materials, they could also attract food processing enterprises in this regard to invest in Linshan, which could completely form another pillar industry.

Xing Guodong had some worries when he just saw this package of economic stimulus plans. The state seemed to want to curb the phenomenon of overheating infrastructure investment. What should Linshan City's development do?

But now Su Xinghui's interpretation made him take a reassurance pill all of a sudden.

Yes, it might be harder to ask for money from the state in the future, but making every village have roads didn't require too huge funds. Relying on Linshan City's economic development, Linshan City's finance could also support this project. Completing this project within five years was completely no problem.

Xing Guodong said happily, "Mayor, once you say so, I understand. I will definitely strive to make every village in Linshan City have roads within five years and let the special products in the mountains be transported out." ===== CHAPTER 4011 =====
