Chapter 98 Planning for Shuanghe Town
Two days later, at 3 pm, the starting point of Yingbin Avenue in Dabeihu County.
Qi Tongwei and his group were waiting on the road, with some plainclothes officers standing far away around them. One could tell from the situation that they were waiting for an important person.
Suddenly, a silver-white bus slowly came into view, and it was approaching their direction. Needless to say, the bus must be carrying Professor Huang and his group.
Before the vehicle completely stopped, Qi Tongwei couldn't wait to jog towards the bus, then quickly ran to the door, stood there respectfully, waiting for Professor Huang and his group to get off.
Zhou Guichun and others also hurriedly followed and greeted Professor Huang together with Qi Tongwei.
"Teacher, you must be exhausted after the journey!" Qi Tongwei said enthusiastically.
He then turned to the other passengers and continued, "Thank you for your hard work, leaders!
Teachers and leaders, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Zhou Guichun, Secretary of the Dabeihu County Party Committee, and this is Comrade Li Na, the County Mayor.
After hearing Qi Tongwei's introduction, Zhou Guichun and Li Na hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Professor Huang and others with a smile.
"Welcome Professor Huang to our Dabeihu County to guide our work!" Zhou Guichun said enthusiastically.
"Professor, thank you for your hard work!" Li Na continued, expressing her respect for Professor Huang.
"You are Li... Hello!" Professor Huang wanted to say something but finally stopped. Only Qi Tongwei and Li Na noticed it, but no one else noticed.
Seeing that Professor Huang didn't continue talking, Li Na was obviously relieved.
Qi Tongwei cleverly changed the subject and asked Professor Huang to introduce the leaders.
After introducing each other, everyone greeted and communicated with each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After everyone got to know each other, Zhou Guichun asked, "Professor Huang, according to our plan, we would like you and the other leaders to come to our Dabeihu County Hotel to rest and adjust your condition.
At 6pm, we have prepared a welcome dinner. What do you think of this arrangement?
Professor Huang smiled and replied, "The guest should follow the host's wishes. You can make your own arrangements. Remember not to waste money. The simpler the better."
Afterwards, after sending Professor Huang and his party to the Dabeihu County Hotel, Zhou Guichun and Li Na left. They would arrive at the banquet hall before 6 o'clock, where Qi Tongwei and the directors of the two offices would be responsible for their reception.
After arriving at the hotel, Professor Huang solemnly introduced Qi Tongwei to his senior brother Yan Jing, which moved Qi Tongwei deeply. He felt that it was worthwhile to recognize this teacher.
"Junior Brother Qi, what plans do you have for the development of Shuanghe?" Although the loan was certain for Professor Huang's sake, Qi Tongwei would need to fight for the loan amount himself.
Qi Tongwei sorted out his thoughts and was about to answer when he was interrupted by Professor Huang, "It's too early to talk about this now. Let's go and see it tomorrow. It won't be too late to ask your junior brother to explain it then."
Qi Tongwei spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless, which made the two of them laugh.
"Teacher, you seem to know our County Magistrate Li?" Qi Tongwei asked impatiently as soon as Yan Jing left.
"Why are you asking about this? Anyway, you should respect her and don't offend her."
Qi Tongwei scratched his head and became even more curious, but since the teacher was unwilling to say, he didn't dare to ask any further.
However, he still decided to report to Li Na more often in his future work without offending Zhou Guichun. Maybe she could be of use to him someday.
Professor Huang and others had been sitting in the car for several hours and were indeed tired, so Qi Tongwei let them rest after sitting for a while.
6pm, Dabeihu County Hotel.
Professor Huang and his group were being entertained in a private room that could seat 30 people.
The dinner table is indeed a place to make friends. Qi Tongwei quickly became familiar with everyone, and these are all his future connections.
The welcome banquet lasted until nine o'clock in the evening. Through this banquet, Qi Tongwei not only got to know the leaders from the province, but also became more familiar with Li Na and others.
Silent all night.
The next day, the group took a bus to Shuanghe Town.
As soon as we entered Shuanghe, we saw villagers working hard and enthusiastically everywhere. Their high morale moved everyone.
"With such people, Shuanghe will surely develop, Handong will surely develop, and China will surely stand tall among the nations of the world." This was said by Professor Huang.
"Yes, this scene is very touching!" others echoed.
The group continued walking down while talking.
"Tongwei, I've observed for a long time and it seems that you have reserved four lanes, and there is even room for expansion outward. Why is that?" Qiao Zhenfei, a director of the Transportation Department, asked curiously.
“Director Qiao, Shuanghe is still very poor and backward right now, and it really doesn’t need a four-lane road.
But I believe that in the near future, Shuanghe will become one of the richest towns in Handong, and that will be what is needed!
Therefore, when designing it, I told the designers to look at the problem from a developmental perspective and leave enough space for the future.
This may seem a bit more expensive now, but it will be more convenient in the future," Qi Tongwei explained.
"Tongwei, your suggestion is very meaningful. I think that not only roads, but many cities should also establish this concept. We must consider the carrying capacity of the future urban population to avoid leaving behind huge problems."
Professor Huang highly praised Qi Tongwei's views and prepared to write an advisory letter to Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee.
The group continued to discuss in the car. After the discussion, they all appreciated Qi Tongwei's point of view and believed that this would reduce a lot of waste.
After parking the car at Zhouhe Village, one of the observation points, the group got off the car and followed Qi Tongwei to Zhouhe Reservoir, the uppermost reaches of Shuanghe River.
"Teacher, leaders, please look, this reservoir was built in 1958, 36 years ago, and the silt in the reservoir has not been cleaned up yet. If a major flood occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
I have consulted water conservancy experts, and they believe that the river drop here is large and the potential flood risk is very high.
But it is also because of this that the dam can be raised here, the water level can be increased, and turbines can be installed outside the dam, which can not only build a dam-type hydropower station, but also solve the risk of flooding. "Qi Tongwei looked at Bai Zhibin, the leader of the Water Conservancy Bureau, with expectation.
Zhou Guichun and Li Na also had shining eyes and looked at Bai Zhibin with anticipation.
"Tongwei, your point of view is indeed correct, but such a big matter is not something I can decide. You'd better report the project in the name of the municipal government. I will think of a solution." Bai Zhibin suggested.
"Director Bai, we will prepare the materials to report to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government in the next two days. We'll trouble you with the subsequent approval." Zhou Guichun said hurriedly.
After leaving the reservoir, Qi Tongwei took everyone to visit the rice fields, bridge and road construction sites and two township enterprises. The inspection did not end until six o'clock in the afternoon.
Along the way, Qi Tongwei explained to everyone his policy strategy, which covers all three industries.
In agriculture, Qi Tongwei proposed rice field breeding, greenhouse vegetables, Biluochun, dairy cows, and beef cattle breeding.
In terms of industry, Qi Tongwei believes that we should not blindly rush forward, but rather combine it with the primary industry, make up for the shortcomings of the primary industry, and develop step by step.
Do each task to the best of your ability instead of wasting financial and material resources in order to achieve perfection.
In the service industry, Qi Tongwei believes that Shuanghe has a long history, red tourism resources and natural beautiful scenery, making it an excellent choice for a summer vacation.
Everyone present affirmed Qi Tongwei's plan. His senior brother Yan Jing immediately spoke up and agreed to lend 500 million yuan to the People's Government of Shuanghe Town.
The leaders of other departments also promised a project each, which made Qi Tongwei very excited.
