Xu Yishan did not directly answer Qu Ling's invitation.
He thought in his heart that if Xu Bin decided to invest in Shaoyang City, his investment plan in Hengyue City would be cancelled. This will cause irreparable damage to Hu Jin's plan to revive Hengyue's industrial glory.
Comparing the two cities, the industrial foundation of Hengyue City is obviously much stronger than that of Shaoyang City. After all, Hengyue City in the last century was a city with the title of "Southern Industrial Town".
At that time, the international situation was complex and changeable. Our neighbors to the north have been eyeing our great river and mountains. Due to ideological differences, the relationship that was originally called "comrade plus brother" was gradually replaced by hostility.
In order to ensure that the industry will not be paralyzed by the First World War. The leaders at the time decided to move the industry from the north to the south. After inspecting countless places, it was finally decided to set up the industrial base in Hengyue City.
The choice of Hengyue City is entirely out of the need for combat preparation. The transportation of Hengyue City is developed, and the traffic throat of the six provinces is strangled. Starting from Hengyue City, strategic materials can not only go directly to the northern front, but also can be quickly evacuated to the depths of the mountains in the southwest and northwest when necessary.
Moreover, Hengyue City is located deep inland and is an ideal strategic location. Any act of war that intends to invade Hengyue City will not be able to achieve the opponent's expected goals.
Therefore, in addition to placing important industries such as metallurgy, steel rolling, and diesel and gasoline engine production outside Hengyue City, another industrial base with a radius of five kilometers was set up to specialize in the research and production of strategic heavy weapons at that time.
In the past, Hengyue City was full of chimneys and prosperous everywhere. It is like a bright pearl, shining on the land of China. This city, which carried the historical mission, gradually fell in the later reforms.
It is said that at that time, the laid-off workers of various enterprises in Hengyue City reached 300,000.
This is a very large number, and it is also a huge burden for the Hengyue City Government. Over the years, Hengyue City has been at the middle and lower reaches of the province, which was unthinkable in the past.
You must know that the GDP of Hengyue City was ranked among the top ten in the country. Heyday even reached the top five.
During Fu Jiayi period, he wanted to revive the industry. It is a pity that his initiative did not materialize. After he tried it, he made a decisive U-turn and led Hengyue City on the easiest path of land finance.
Therefore, Hengyue City experienced a frenzied city expansion movement in the rich Chiayi era.
The advantage of the city expansion movement is that the city's finances have been freed from the embarrassment of being stretched. The superficial prosperity brought about by the city expansion once made Hengyue City a role model for the whole province.
It's a pity that the good times don't last long. A city without a foundation for survival is destined to not go far.
To maintain the permanent vitality of the city, the people of the city must be allowed to live and work in peace and contentment. A city that has lost its creativity and productivity, how can it be guaranteed?
When Hu Jin first came to Hengyue City, he was always looking for a breakthrough. He knew full well that Fu Chia Yi's policies would only lead to short-lived prosperity. If Hengyue City is to be competitive, it must find a new way.
At this time, Xu Yishan proposed to him the idea of ??revitalizing the industry. His thoughts were like sending charcoal in the snow, allowing the wandering Hu Jin to see the light and find his goal.
To achieve this goal, Xu Bin is the core figure.
But if Xu Bin diverted to Shaoyang City, wouldn't the plan come to naught?
But he can't stop Xu Bin from investing in Shaoyang, not to mention Xu Bin may not adopt his opinion, even Shaoyang City, if he finds out that he is obstructing it, wouldn't he grit his teeth with hatred?
"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Xu Yishan perfunctorily said to Qu Ling: "The wind is blowing, let's go back."
Cheng Zihua was waiting in the dormitory, and when he saw Xu Yishan open the door, he was overjoyed and said, "Yishan, thank you. The people from the organization department didn't say anything to you, did they?"
Xu Yishan smiled and said: "No, it's just a routine chat."
Seeing Cheng Zihua's expectant look, he comforted him and said, "Mayor Cheng, you can relax and wait to take office."
Cheng Zihua chuckled, and said happily: "Yishan, I still say the same thing, I hope you can work by my side. Don't worry now, you should think about it first. In a word, Shaoyang's door will always be open to you on."
Xu Yishan quickly thanked and said: "Okay, okay, I will ask Mayor Cheng to take care of you when the time comes."
Cheng Zihua said disapprovingly: "What are you talking about, what is our relationship? As the saying goes, brothers who fight tigers are brothers, and father and son soldiers when they fight. We are brothers."
Seeing Cheng Zihua's smug smile, Xu Yishan really couldn't bear to tell him that his dream of becoming the mayor of Shaoyang might really turn into a dream.
"Yishan, I still have something to ask for your help." Cheng Zihua said seriously: "I am going to propose to Wanqiu."
"Marriage proposal?" Xu Yishan was taken aback, and asked suspiciously: "Are you planning to get married?"
Cheng Zihua smiled and said: "Wanqiu should have no objections. However, she is still a woman, women like romance, right? So, I want to give her a romantic surprise."
Xu Yishan asked curiously: "You gave her a romantic surprise, what can I do for you?"
"You are so important." Cheng Zihua praised, "Your status in Wanqiu's heart is incomparable. I think, please help me complete the important matter of proposing marriage together."
Xu Yishan readily agreed: "Okay, as long as I can help, I must."
Cheng Zihua went to make two cups of coffee, handed one to Xu Yishan, and encouraged him, "Try it, it tastes great. These are authentic Brazilian coffee beans, I ground them myself."
Xu Yishan glanced at the black coffee, wondering: "This stuff is bitter, I'm not used to it."
"You have to drink bitter coffee. It's like life, it's bitter first and then sweet. After drinking the bitter coffee, you will feel the fragrance on your teeth and cheeks, and your tongue will be full of fluid."
Xu Yishan had no choice but to take a sip, only to feel a bitter taste spread from his mouth to his whole body. He frowned and almost spat out.
His actions made Cheng Zihua laugh out loud. Cheng Zihua said: "Yishan, coffee is something that people with culture and quality drink. In the upper class, people who can't even drink coffee will be looked down upon."
Xu Yishan said with a wry smile: "If you look down on it, you can look down on it. I'm still used to drinking our own tea."
Actually, Xu Yishan didn't even have the habit of drinking tea. He has developed a habit since he was a child. When he is thirsty, he takes a ladle and scoops it into the water tank, and then drinks it. No matter it is hot summer or cold winter, it never changes.
Xu Yishan's habit was once laughed at by Chen Xiaoqi. Chen Xiaoqi said that he drinks water like a cow, and he doesn't have the demeanor of a cultivated person at all.
Chen Xiaoqi laughed at him, but she never disliked him. On the contrary, Chen Xiaoqi envied Xu Yishan's ability to drink raw water. I envy his strong stomach and intestines, and he is not afraid of bacteria in unburned water.
Seeing that Xu Yishan didn't want to drink it, Cheng Zihua complained, "It's a pity for my coffee."
There is no need to go back to the classroom at night, tonight is their last night at school, and tomorrow morning they will embark on a journey to Yiyang City for investigation and research.
Cheng Zihua suddenly said: "Yishan, this time I went to Yiyang, and it took another ten days. Why don't we call Old Tang Juju tonight?"
