Cheng Yi and his entourage flew directly in Donghua and accompanied the old man back to Yanjing. Chen Huai had to delay in Donghua for two days.

First, he talked with Guo Chengze and Meng Jiansheng about the issue of Xiapu's abolishment of the county and establishment of a district. He was not convenient for him to participate in this matter publicly, but he also did some promotion work behind the scenes.

After abolishing the county and establishing a district and obtaining support from the province, the planning plan must be submitted to the State Council for approval. It cannot be completed in one or two days. However, Donghua is not unable to do some pre-emptive work.

The abolition of Xiapu's county and establishment of a district is mainly to promote the development of Donghua City in a big way, and to promote Xiapu's integration into Donghua's main urban area to the west. Therefore, in the local soft and hard environment construction plan, the theme of "integration" must be highlighted in the future.

In addition to the existing east extension section of Xudong Expressway, the east extension section of Xudong Railway, the Yangtze River Expressway, and Meipu Avenue, the three main roads connecting the Lingang New City and the main urban area of ​​Donghua will be given priority construction.

Xiapu has started the construction of new towns for three years, and will give priority to promoting the construction of regional new towns between the Lingang New City and the main urban area, and promote the construction of cooperative industrial parks with Beicheng and Tangzha District.

It is expected that Xiapu County’s local fiscal and tax revenue will reach a new height of 10 billion in 2002. According to the previous agreement, Xiapu County’s local fiscal and tax revenue will be imported into the Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund in 2002.

The two-year Lanjiang Expressway will be completed in the first half of 2002. Although the budget has exceeded the expenditure, only 1.2 billion yuan of construction funds will be required in the future.

The Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund's 202nd budget can receive 7 billion yuan in capital injection. After deducting the funds from Lanjiang Expressway and some other infrastructure projects under construction, there are still more than 4 billion yuan of planned funds that have not been implemented.

The 4 billion yuan of funds is clearly used to invest in infrastructure projects in the Huaihai Bay area, but in all aspects, they are trying to spend it.

Huaineng hopes that the government construction fund will increase investment in the re-transformation of the Xudong Railway, so as to reduce the pressure on Huaineng to supply funds to the Xudong Railway in the last year.

The Department of Transportation and the Expressway Group hope that the government construction fund will continue to maintain investment in the expressway to ensure that the province's expressway construction can far exceed the planned completion of the plan within the next five years.

All cities and counties hope that the government construction funds can increase local infrastructure investment in water affairs, ports, etc. to alleviate local municipal investment pressure; while within the Mei Steel System, they hope to concentrate on strengthening infrastructure investment in Meixi Port and Xinpu Port, and further consolidate the advantages of the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Belt...

Four billion seems to be a lot of money, but it can't beat the monk.

Chen Huai still hopes to promote the launch of one or two major infrastructure projects that can help improve the industrial and investment environment of Huaihai Bay. However, all parties emphasized that the ones they launched were major infrastructure projects that are crucial to local economic development, so they fought over and over again. In 2002, the government fund focused on supporting infrastructure projects that had not been released until mid-December.

Similarly, Chen Huai did not serve as a director in the Huaihai Bay Government Construction Fund, and it was not convenient to publicly participate in the use of infrastructure funds. He also used this as an excuse to refuse others from lobbying on his side.

What Shen Huai stayed in Donghua and participated in the discussion publicly was the progress of the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Engineering.

Although Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation is dominated by Meigang, CNOOC and Huaihai Rongtou are the second and third largest stakeholders. Chen Huai is also the chairman of Huaihai Rongtou, so he can naturally openly participate in the preparations and construction of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation's second phase project.

However, the biggest problem at the moment is not capital, construction land, or market digestion, but Rongxin and Sinopec are interested in launching large-scale refining and chemical projects in Xinjin.

Five years ago, Rongxin wanted to work with Sinopec to build a large refining plant. At that time, he looked at the land selected by Sinopec. He used all kinds of means to make the first phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Engineering still die.

Chen Huai withstood the pressure from all sides, and finally, with the support of Cheng Yi's father and Tian Jiageng, he joined forces with CNOOC and provincial state-owned assets to promote the successful approval of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Construction.

This also made Rongxin's process of incubating the petrochemical industry in Xinpu aborted.

In the later period, Rongxin Group shifted its focus of industrial investment to Xinjin, but the steel industry alone could not support the rapid development of Xinjin Port.

Xinjin Steel was completed and the provincial steel was fully reorganized. Rongxin Holdings' Rongxin Steel United Group Co., Ltd. was also established as scheduled. It aims to build large-scale refining and chemical projects in Xinjin Port, which has also become the most urgent step that Rongxin needs to deploy in the development of the industrial system.

Relying on deep-water seaports and the development of heavy chemical industry, steel and petrochemical are the two most important fulcrums.

Although the domestic efforts to increase construction and infrastructure construction in the past two years, and the approval of large-scale heavy chemical industries has been relaxed, national ministries and commissions still have no intention of approving one prefecture-level city to launch two large-scale refining and chemical projects at the same time.

Donghua can only take one large-scale refining and chemical project at the same time. The contradiction lies in whether to let Meigang go or Rongxin go?

Speaking of preparation, Rongxin and Sinopec have been in contact since 1995 to discuss the construction of related large-scale refining and chemical projects.

Speaking of planning, when the construction of Xinjin Lingang Industrial Zone was launched, it planned a petrochemical industrial park.

Speaking of industrial support, Rongsheng and Sinopec are both backbone central enterprises. Among the three giants of petrochemicals, Sinopec's strength is much stronger than CNOOC, which was established in 1988.

Rongxin Group's development in heavy chemical industry has just begun, and Sinopec is the absolute main force in the domestic heavy chemical industry.

As early as 1995, Rongxin intended to build a refining and chemical base in Donghua. Sinopec was inconvenient to refuse, but in his mentality, in addition to Sinopec's main increase in the construction of Zhenhai refining and chemical base at that time, the more important thing was that Huaihai Bay's status had not yet been highlighted.

Tian Jiageng proposed a large framework to develop the Huaihai Bay economy, and to Xupei, he proposed a more specific regional economic plan for the Huaihai Bay economy, including Xudong Expressway, Xudong Railway Duplex Project, Lanjiang Expressway, Xuhuai Expressway, and Zhujiang Main Channel dredging. The Donghua River-Sea Intermodal Transportation Ports have actually become the core hub ports extending to East China and Central Plains provinces.

Therefore, Donghua's status is highlighted in the planning and development layout of Sinopec's refining and chemical industry.

In this cooperation, Sinopec showed a stronger willingness than Rongxin, which was unexpected as Chen Huai expected and the biggest resistance to the launch of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II.

Regarding the division of labor between the three oil giants by the state ministries and commissions, China Petroleum mainly focuses on the exploitation of onshore oil and gas resources, while CNOOC mainly focuses on the exploitation of offshore oil and gas resources. In addition to the exploitation of oil and gas resources, Sinopec also mainly develops the refining and chemical industry.

From this perspective alone, Sinopec's construction and refining projects have greater priority than CNOOC.

As for Donghua localities, Donghua's GDP will reach 120 billion in one year, and Xiapu County will account for almost half of it.

Although this shows that Xiapu County has developed rapidly in the past six or seven years, it also shows that the structure is unbalanced during Donghua's rapid development. Xiapu County naturally hopes that Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II can be approved for construction as scheduled to further consolidate the advantages of the petrochemical industry, while other districts and counties in Donghua are more inclined to develop in a balanced manner at this time.

Needless to say, Fan Wenzhi, Yu Chengzhen and others supported Rongxin and Sinopec, while Guo Chengze, Meng Jiansheng and others became indecisive.

While the people of Chen Huai were in Donghua, Guo Chengze also talked about these issues with him:

"Can Xinjin Refining and Chemical Corporation be launched first this time? The second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation can be delayed for two years before entering?"

"In the future, Donghua wants to achieve two industrial pillars of 100 billion steel and 100 billion petrochemicals, sometimes Meigang needs to make some sacrifices."

Chen Huai knew that Guo Chengze and Meng Jiansheng were calculating a simple account. If Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II squeezed down the projects of Rongxin and Sinopec, Rongxin and Sinopec could not wait, and they might go to other cities to select sites to build refining and chemical projects. Even if Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II was delayed for two years, the project of Donghua would not be able to fly away.

But Chen Huai knew that Meigang was not facing the problem of delaying the construction of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II for two years.

Sinopec's priority in developing the refining and chemical industry in China is not easily shaken. The biggest advantage that Meigang has at present is that Xinpu Refining and Chemical has been successfully put into operation for many years and has formed a first-mover advantage in Huaihai Bay.

Once Meigang makes concessions at this time, Rongxin and Sinopec will successfully make a refining and chemical project in Xinjin, Meigang will lose its first-mover advantage. In the future, as long as Rongxin and Sinopec want to continue to expand their refining and chemical production capacity, Meigang and CNOOC will give way to them first.

Whether the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Industry can be approved? Under the current situation, the support of Guo and Jian is indispensable. Chen Huai didn't know why Guo Chengze and Meng Jiansheng became weak this time, but he wanted to go back to the province to find Xu Pei and Li Gu to communicate about this matter, and he didn't want to argue with Guo and Meng. After talking a few words, he said goodbye and left.

******************************

Leaving Guo Chengze's office, Chen Huai asked Tang Baocheng, Qin Dawei and others to return to the province first. He had to stay in Donghua for another day, thinking about meeting Chen Dan.

Unfortunately, although Chen Danren is in Donghua, her mother has undergone a minor operation in recent years. She has withdrawn from her to have lunch with Chen Huai and will go back to the hospital to take care of her mother in the afternoon.

Chen Huai parked his car by Cuihu Lake in the afternoon.

Just as he was about to call Zhou Yu, he heard a car honking behind him. Chen Huai was wondering, he was parking on curbs very properly, why was there still a car behind him impatient?

He looked back and saw Xie Zhi sitting in the passenger seat of the car behind.

Xie Zhi asked her assistant Feng Yuzhi to drive away and walk alone towards the lakeside trail by the lake.

After that day, Chen Huai never saw Xie Zhi again. He didn't even know what kind of meaning it would have to them when he was so intimate intimate in the car that day. He guessed that Xie Zhi was hiding from him, perhaps because he wanted to erase what happened that day from his memory in life.

Chen Huai put on his coat, put his hands in his pocket, and walked towards the lake.

Although it is winter, the evergreen trees planted on both sides of the lake trail are still dark and thick at this time, and the cold wind blowing from the lake makes people unable to help but shrink their necks.

"Didn't it mean that the old man and Cheng Yi have left long ago? Why are you still staying in Donghua today?" Xie Zhi asked, "Is the job of the Provincial State-owned Assets Office so idle? Or are you going to stay in Donghua for whom do you accompany?"

Chen Huai touched his nose and said, "It's mainly about the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Industry. He talked to all kinds of people and talked about it."

"There should be no progress, right?" Xie Zhi said.

"How do you know?"

"Hu Lin used to like to play conspiracies, so he couldn't fight you and was repeatedly frustrated. However, Rongxin joined hands with China Petrochemical to compete openly for a long time. I think they still have some advantages." Xie Zhi said.

Chen Huai smiled and spread his hands and said, "Then we won't know the end until the end."

"I saw Hongqi and his newlywed wife the day before yesterday. I seemed very satisfied when I saw him holding the baby." Xie Zhi said again.

Chen Huai said with a mouthful. I don’t know what to say, except for the unexpected incident with him, Xie Zhi started dating and getting married with Song Hongqi at the age of 20. Even if the feelings he had become indifferent afterwards, it would be impossible to erase the traces of this marriage in her life.

Chen Huai accompanied Xie Zhi to walk on the lakeside trail.

This lakeside trail has only been completed this year. It is one of the city image improvement projects for Donghua. The business district in the main urban area will also be expanded along the coast of Cuihu Lake. The investment in infrastructure mainly comes from the transfer of surrounding construction land.

Before he knew it, he walked outside a community courtyard in Huxi. Chen Huai remembered that Xie Zhi had an apartment in this community and asked, "Do you want me to come and sit?"

When he met Chen Huai, Xie Zhi wanted to talk to him, but he didn't expect to go anywhere else. He didn't expect that when he walked downstairs, Chen Huai asked this question.

They are all adult men and women. After Chen Huai's words, Xie Zhi naturally understood that her beautiful white face was dyed with a blush. He thought about Chen Huai too much, but he didn't blurt out, and there was also a beautiful thought in his heart. He thought that the madness that she was only in the car that day was still her own, and after all, she still lacked Chen Huai. Although she was venting emotionally that day, the swelling feeling became clearer in her mind during this period, which made her feel strange in her heart.

But after that day, Xie Zhi was also confused. She didn't know how to deal with the twisted emotions between her and Chen Huai, so she could only hide.

I met again today. She could only think of a chat between an old friend, but things have come to this point. She was already very sad if she didn't ask Shen Huai to go upstairs.

Xie Zhi didn't say anything at the moment, but just turned to the community. Listening to Chen Huai's footsteps behind her, her heart became panicked, and she didn't know what it was now.

Entering the elevator, Chen Huai reached over, and Xie Zhi subconsciously shrank her hand to avoid it. Seeing Chen Huai's face look sarcastic, she explained softly inexplicably: "There is a camera."

The two entered the room and said nothing. Xie Zhi hid and did not kiss Chen Huai, but the desire that rippled in her heart was also urgent. The temperature inside the room was still cold. Xie Zhi took off her coat, but she was still wearing a velvet coat, with her snow-white and slender legs, and sat on Chen Huai's thighs like in the car that day...

After Xie Zhi was crazy, she came back from the clouds slowly and was exhausted, but she still maintained such an active posture until Chen Huai was released happily.

After finishing, Xie Zhi sweated like a sludge, and was so tired that she was almost exhausted. She hid in the bathroom with her clothes and wanted to turn on the faucet, but she felt her feet weak. She squatted beside the bathtub and wanted to cry for no reason...

Chen Huai saw Xie Zhi enter the bathroom but did not hear the sound of water for a long time. He pushed open the door and saw Xie Zhi turn around, covered her face and squatted beside the bathtub, wearing a velvet shirt on her upper body, barefoot, and snow-white buttocks. He asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"You go out." Xie Zhi covered her face, feeling very embarrassed again at this time.

Chen Huai didn't leave next to the door.

Xie Zhi still covered her face and said moaning: "I'm comfortable. This is the first time I'm so comfortable. Are you proud."

Chen Huai couldn't help but want to whistle, and asked again: "I'll stay with you tonight?"

"Don't you stay. I never want to fall in love with anyone in my life," Xie Zhi held the bathtub and wanted to stand up, but she felt something flowing out of her body. She lowered her head and saw a few drops on the ground. Of course, she knew what it was. She turned around and saw Chen Huai's eyes staring at the ground and her thighs. She was extremely embarrassed and threw her clothes on Chen Huai and said, "You go and buy medicine for me. If I want to get pregnant, I can only jump into the river..."

Chen Huai stayed alone and tossed Xie Zhi until midnight.

Xie Zhi was also "heartless". She really didn't have the strength to ask for fun again, and she couldn't care about driving Chen Huai out before dawn.

Chen Huai had to get in the car and sleep for a while, and did not drive back to Xucheng until dawn.

************************************

When he got home, Chen Huai wanted to make up for another sleep, but he never thought that Li Gu called and said that it was Pang Yunsong, secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee, was in Xucheng and wanted to pull him out for lunch.

Chen Huai also thought whether Pang Yunsong was in Xucheng or not, what did he have to do with him? He had not had a good rest and had too much effort, so his bones were about to disperse. He wanted to refuse, but then he thought of something. He believed that Pang Yunsong came to the door and was aimless. He immediately got up from the bed, turned on the hot water, and wanted to take a bath before going to the dinner, but he didn't want to fall asleep in the bathtub.

When Chen Huai heard someone pushing the door, he woke up in shock. Seeing that it was Kou Xuan, Chen Huai pulled a bath towel to cover his body and asked, "When will you get off get out of class?"

"It's twelve o'clock, I don't have class in the afternoon. I've had dinner in the cafeteria, so why don't I come back to do it? I want to clean you up. Why did you fall asleep in the bathtub? What bad things did you do last night?" Kou Xuan stared at Chen Huai's face suspiciously, trying to see some gaze from his face.

Chen Huai didn't expect to sleep in the bathtub for two hours. Fortunately, he changed the hot water just now, but did not turn it off. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to wake up in the bathtub.

"I was talking late and drove back early, so I didn't sleep enough." Chen Huai explained wildly.

"The genius believed," Kou Xuann asked with her delicate lips, "Then what are you going to have for lunch? I want me to help you go back to the cafeteria to buy a meal?"

"There is a dinner party." Chen Huai said.

"It's really corrupt." Kou Xuan said.
