Chapter 922

Yan Xiangjie saw Zhang Shiguang resting in the rearview mirror, so he drove the car more steadily. Su Xinghui didn't speak either, and he also leaned on the back of the chair to close his eyes and rest.

About an hour later, the car arrived in Jiangcheng City. Su Xinghui whispered: "Uncle Zhang, we are in the provincial capital."

Zhang Shiguang woke up immediately. He rubbed his face to wake himself up. Soon, the car drove to the provincial government building. After the two registered, they came to the door of Lu Zhenghong's office. Lu Zhenghong's secretary, Li Shanlin, asked about their identities and said to them: "You come in, Governor Lu is waiting for you."

Li Shanlin is a young man in his thirties. He wears a pair of glasses and looks gentle. Of course, he has heard of Su Xinghui's name and knows that this is Governor Lu's prospective son-in-law. He couldn't help but look at Su Xinghui a few more times. Su Xinghui also nodded to him with a smile.

Li Shanlin also just became Lu Zhenghong's secretary, so he was also a little cautious and had not fully entered the work role. Seeing Su Xinghui smiling at him, he quickly smiled at Su Xinghui, then brought the two into Lu Zhenghong's office, let them sit down, then brewed tea for them, and then exited the door.

Zhang Shiguang said: "Governor Lu, you have arrived at the provincial government, and we didn't take the initiative to report work to you. Please forgive me!"

Lu Zhenghong smiled faintly: "Comrade Shiguang, you have also arrived at a new job position. The work now must be very busy, so there is no need to come to report work often. As long as you do the work in the county well, that's fine."

Zhang Shiguang nodded: "Okay, thank you Governor Lu!"

Lu Zhenghong said: "I called you here today because there is a big thing to tell you."

As soon as the two heard that there was a big thing to say, they sat up straight together, and their faces became serious. Lu Zhenghong told this big thing. After Zhang Shiguang and Su Xinghui heard this, their brows were tightly frowned.

It turned out that regarding the site selection of the expressway starting construction this year, Lu Zhenghong had done a lot of work in the early stage, plus Gu Shanmin's mediation, the province had basically set the plan to pass through Pengjiawan. However, in the past few days, this matter has caused waves again. Governor Tian Chengzu tended to another plan, which was the plan to pass through Gangzhou City.

The expressway starting construction this year is a connecting line of the Beijing-Hong Kong Expressway within Hudong Province. There are currently two plans. One plan is to cross the river from Gangzhou City east of Jiangcheng, then go west all the way to Yulin City southeast of Shangjun, then to Hongshan County southwest of Shangjun, and then connect with the Beijing-Hong Kong connecting line within Huxi Province.

The second plan is to cross the river from Qingyang City west of Jiangcheng, pass through the territory of Pengjiawan Town, Shangjun County, then go south to pass through the junction of Yulin and Hongshan, and directly connect with the Beijing-Hong Kong connecting line within Huxi Province.

The first plan perfectly avoided Shangjun County, which of course was unfavorable to Shangjun County. The second plan was of course the result that Shangjun County wanted. Moreover, the second plan was basically a straight road to Huxi Province, while the first plan had to take a big detour, and the distance was at least several dozen kilometers more than the second plan, and the cost would be much higher.

Tian Chengzu's tendency to the second plan of course also had his reasons. The current Mayor of Gangzhou is an old subordinate of Tian Chengzu, who once served as his secretary. Choosing Gangzhou for this expressway site is of course good for the political achievements of this old subordinate.

However, due to Gu Shanmin's mediation, plus the second plan was obviously more reasonable than the first plan, the provincial government had already tended to the second plan, and Tian Chengzu also had signs of default. Now why did he suddenly change his mind?

Su Xinghui and Zhang Shiguang looked at each other. It seems that this should be the sequelae of the Hou family matter. Hou Guangbi has now decided to put the investment in Shangjun County, and he has stayed in Shangjun County and never went to Jiangcheng again. Naturally, he could not accept Tian Chengzu's invitation. This made Tian Chengzu lose face. If Tian Chengzu didn't make things difficult for Shangjun County, how could he show his power?

Su Xinghui asked: "Uncle Lu, Governor Tian tends to the first plan, what is the reason?"

Even if Tian Chengzu is the Governor, he cannot cover the sky with one hand in the provincial government, not to mention that Lu Zhenghong has now become the Vice Governor in charge of economy and has a great say in this matter. The second plan is obviously more reasonable than the first plan. If Tian Chengzu wants to change the plan, of course, he must have a reasonable reason.

Lu Zhenghong said: "His reason is that Gangzhou City already has a ready-made Changjiangdaqiao, so there is no need to build a Changjiangdaqiao, while your Shangjun County does not have a Changjiangdaqiao yet. If you want to build this expressway, you have to build a Changjiangdaqiao, which is another investment of several hundred million. The province cannot take out such a large sum of funds, and it is also difficult to successfully establish a project at the State Planning Commission."

In the nineties, to build a Changjiangdaqiao, it would take about 400 to 500 million funds. This is indeed a not small investment. And Gangzhou City did start construction on a Changjiangdaqiao the year before last, which will be completed next year. In this way, the step of building a bridge is saved, which indeed saves a lot of trouble, especially in the State Planning Commission project establishment, which is the most troublesome thing.

The State Planning Commission's yamen is big. Even if the Governor goes there, he has to honestly wait in the gatehouse to see a division chief.

After pondering for a moment, Su Xinghui said: "Uncle Lu, but the expressway passing through Gangzhou City is 40 to 50 kilometers further than passing through Shangjun County. When passing through Yushan District, many are mountainous areas with complex terrain and higher costs. In total, the cost of the first plan is nearly one billion higher than the second plan. Isn't this enough to build a Changjiangdaqiao?"

Lu Zhenghong said: "Governor Tian also has his reasons. He said that the expressway can drive economic development. Gangzhou City and Yulin City are both economically underdeveloped regions. The first plan expressway passes through these two cities for a longer distance, which can better drive the economic development of these two cities. He said that Qingyang City and Shangjun County are developing very well now, and they should carry forward the style and let others have the opportunity to build the expressway first."

Su Xinghui smiled: "It turns out that the rapid economic development of our county is also our fault."

Su Xinghui said so, but Tian Chengzu's words were high-sounding, especially the project establishment of Shangjun County's Changjiangdaqiao is also an unknown result, so it cannot be said that his words are wrong.

Zhang Shiguang said: "Governor Lu, is there no room for recovery now?"

Lu Zhenghong shook his head: "It's not that there is no room for recovery. I did some work for you. Now Governor Tian promised that if you can go to the State Planning Commission to run the project establishment, and the project establishment is successful, and you raise 50 percent of the funds yourself, the province can adopt the second plan."

Su Xinghui and Zhang Shiguang looked at each other again. They knew that Lu Zhenghong said he did some work for them, and he must have put in a lot of effort. This is also because he is now the Vice Governor in charge of economy and has a great say in this issue, which can win this result.
