The train arrived at Shimen at dawn. It was not yet completely bright, and thin mist was flowing on the platform.

Walking out of the warm carriage, the cold wind blew over, and Cheng Yi, who had not yet woken up, shivered. He grabbed the mohair-woven cardigan jacket with both hands, looked at the old platform, and was surprised: "Is this the stone gate?"

Xucheng's urban construction development is already very bad in the eastern coastal areas, but Shimen is even worse than Xucheng, and it is not as grand as the provincial capital city as Cheng Yi imagined. Looking at Cheng Yi's slightly disappointed face, Chen Huai stretched out and smiled: "Well, this is Shimen. Logically speaking, it should be a key place in the capital, but it is a city that the public ignores..."

In terms of the total economic output, Hebei Province is much stronger than Huaihai, but the large-scale industry of Hebei Province is mainly concentrated in the northern Hebei region, and the hinterland along the Bohai Bay in the central region has been hollowed out of the two municipalities directly under the central government, which has made the economic development of Hebei Province around Beijing and southern and central areas lag much behind.

Even the provincial capital Shimen City has developed very ordinary. At present, it can only be a medium-sized city in China, and it is completely less than the magnificence of a coastal provincial capital city as ordinary people imagine.

Although many people have high hopes for Cheng Yi's father to revitalize the economy in southern Hebei, Chen Huai stood on the platform of Shimen City, looking around the lonely morning scene around the platform, and secretly felt that revitalizing the economy in southern Hebei is really a long way to go.

But when it comes to revitalization, it depends on the standards.

Shimen City has a short history and is in the heart of the North China Plain. It is because the Beijing-Guangzhou, Shitai and other railways meet in the territory and become a land transportation hub in the Shanxi-Hebei region. Shimen has developed greatly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but in recent years, due to the overall difficulties of local state-owned enterprises, it has brought a lot of economic development to the southern provincial capital cities.

I hope that Shimen City's economic development can surpass Jiangning, Zhenhai and other cities, and has inherent shortcomings in many conditions.

However, Cheng Yi's father was the governor of Hebei Province and his vision would not be limited to the provincial capital Shimen. While adjusting the industrial structure of northern Hebei, he promoted the rapid development of southern Hebei economy, even if it was successful.

At this moment, I saw Chen Yongjun, whom Cheng Yi's father trusted, walking here accompanied by two staff members. Chen Huai and Cheng Yi walked over and said, "Why are Secretary-General Chen, you come here to pick him up in person? I just took a taxi with Cheng Yi."

Chen Yongjun smiled and said, "I am familiar with Shimen, and the driver may not be able to touch it. In addition, the taxi drivers at the train station are not authentic, so they will take you around a distance, and there is no place to complain about the injustice..."

Chen Huai also smiled. If he and Cheng Yi were slaughtered by the taxi driver waiting for passengers by the train station, they would seem to be too much of a problem with the title of governor.

The two staff members who accompanied Chen Yongjun were both around thirty years old. One called himself "Xiao Han" and the other called himself "Xiao Feng". They enthusiastically took the suitcase from Chen Huai's hand.

Seeing that no one else came down from the carriage, Chen Yongjun asked strangely: "Why, you two are just here, aren't there some of you coming together?"

"They, they transferred to Qinghe in the middle of the journey," Chen Huai said. "I accompany Cheng Yi to Shimen. If there is a car in the afternoon, I will go to Qinghe."

"Don't be so anxious. Stay in Shimen for two more days..." Chen Yongjun smiled and asked Chen Huai, Cheng Yi and walked out of the platform with him.

Chen Huai and Cheng Yi came to Shimen together, namely to visit relatives, but in fact, it was mainly a tacit understanding formed with the Ji family before, and now we have to do some practical work.

The formal cooperation between local governments is mainly to promote the formation of friendly ports between Jihe Port and Xinpu Port Association and strengthen cooperation in economic, trade and industrial development. This time, Zhao Tianming and Dai Quan and others were led by Zhao Tianming and Dai Quan to hold an exchange meeting on port construction and port-side industrial development with Jihe County Association.

The exchange meeting will take several days. Chen Huai and Ji Chengxi will only show their faces at that time. There is no need to participate in the entire exchange event, so he and Cheng Yi come to visit Cheng Yi’s parents first.

Even if Meigang wants to participate more in the development of southern Hebei and Qinghe areas in the future, we must first respect Cheng Yi’s father’s opinions.

Shimen City is not large in size, and there are no cars on the street at dawn. It took seven or eight minutes to drive from the railway station to the provincial party committee compound. There were armed police on duty at the entrance of the provincial party committee compound, meticulously checking the identities of Chen Huai and Cheng Yi. There was no voice in the courtyard.

The mist floats above the forest, and most people are still sleeping. Occasionally, they see a few families with lights on and ordinary houses through the walls. There is nothing surprising or luxurious about it. Ordinary people cannot imagine that these seemingly ordinary residents in the compound are actually the top of the pyramid of the power of Hebei Province.

Cheng Yi's father has only arrived at Shimen in the past two days. He has just handed over his position and nothing has been settled.

The courtyard gate was small and the car couldn't drive out. It was parked by the corridor outside the flowerbed. Chen Yongjun pushed open the iron gate in front. Chen Huai and Cheng Yi walked into the courtyard. Perhaps Cheng Wenguang heard the movement, he pushed open the door of the study and walked under the eaves of the corridor, and said with a smile: "The train is not late. We came from Yanjing. In order to experience it, we took the train specially. It was an hour late at this point..."

"We are fine. The trains heading north are not dense and the routes are not tight during this period." Chen Huai said.

"Where is mom?" Cheng Yi asked her father as soon as she heard her mother Liu Xuemei responding inside, "I'm making breakfast for you," she wiped her hands while wiping her scarf around her waist, and asked, "Do you have a good sleep on the train? Do you want to have breakfast and make up for your sleep at home in the morning?"

"I didn't sleep well. If there was nothing to ask me to do, I would be responsible for sleeping in the morning." Cheng Yi said. She rarely took the train and didn't sleep well last night. Now she is just yawning.

"Where is Chen Huai? How are you sleeping at night?" Liu Xuemei now regarded Chen Huai as her son-in-law, a question of concern.

"He slept like a dead pig. I just saw that the more he slept, the less he couldn't sleep..." Cheng Yi said.

Liu Xuemei beat Cheng Yi for a while and stopped her from talking nonsense, saying, "Is she sleeping soundly, but it's still getting in the way of sleeping?"

"I'm already good, and I didn't pull him up and talk to me." Cheng Yi pushed her back like a little girl in front of her mother, and went into the house to help make breakfast.

Leading cadres of Cheng Wenguang's level will still enjoy the living and political benefits after retirement. However, Cheng Wenguang's transfer this time was quite abrupt. Something happened to the nanny who was used to at home and could not follow him at the same time.

Cheng Wenguang and Liu Xuemei didn't want to use the people recommended by the Hebei Provincial Government Office to enter their family's life, so she had to have Liu Xuemei personally go to Zhang Luo during this period. There is no need to say that there is any hard work. Liu Xuemei's work transfer has to be delayed, and she is idle.

When Cheng Wenguang first arrived in Hebei Province, he would be in a hurry for a while. Even if Chen Huai came here, he would not take much time to talk to him. Cheng Yi and her mother went to breakfast, and Cheng Wenguang would have Chen Huai to talk to him directly to the study.

When he sat down in the study, Chen Huai told Cheng Wenguang to know about the changes in the trend that happened to Donghua during this period, especially when Guo Chengze got off the car at Donghua, he was aggressively attacking Chen Baoqi.

Cheng Wenguang nodded. He didn't know Guo Chengze or Meng Jiansheng, but he could know that Guo Chengze reflected Xu Pei's will. He was still familiar with Xu Pei, so he told Chen Huai to know:

"When Xu Pei was in Jinhai, his work style was very strong and loved by Premier Wang Yuan. When Xu Pei was able to go to Huaihai Province, Wang Yuan also called on Tian Jiageng to take Xu Pei as an assistant. Premier Wang Yuan wanted to promote the development of the central and western regions, and seemed to be transferring Tian Jiageng to East Sichuan as secretary, but he did not plan to arrange anyone to go to Huaihai. Xu Pei might be valued..."

Chen Huai still knew that Tian Jiageng would go to the Secretary of Sichuan East and said, "Then Secretary of China will not be able to join the Politburo this time?"

"There is no other way. There are only a few seats, and there are too many people competing for it. Although the cadres promoted by Premier Wang Yuan occupy more prominent positions in Jinggong, they still have to suppress others when it comes to qualifications." Cheng Wenguang said.

Chen Huaineng has actually not had many senior members of the party, but when it comes to the politician's demeanor and ability to govern, he hopes that Tian Jiageng can join the Politburo and jointly grasp the direction of China's future development. Thinking that Wang Yuan will reuse Xu Pei in Huaihai next, although it does not mean that Zhao Qiuhua, who is the former Prime Minister Hu Zhicheng, will sit and wait for death, but a fierce fight between Xu Pei and Zhao Qiuhua is indispensable. This is beneficial to Mei Gang's success in Donghua and Huaihai Province. The biggest variable now is the candidate for the replacement of Tian Jiageng as Secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee, and there has been no preparation news.

"When it comes to taking over Tian Jiageng to Huaihai as secretary, there are two or three lists being passed on. The variables are still very large at present," said Cheng Wenguang. "In the future, the environment in Huaihai will be conducive to the further development of Meigang and Huaieng Group. If you are in Huaihai, you must also take the initiative to communicate with Ye Xuanfeng. If you can reach an agreement, you may reach an agreement. You should still not let outsiders have the opportunity to watch the fun..."

Chen Huai smiled bitterly and said, "I am willing to go to talk to Ye Xuanfeng, but Ye Xuanfeng is eager to win over Sun Qiyi these days. When Sun Qiyi was in Xucheng, he was anxious to let Xie Haicheng run over to be a lobbyist overnight. Sun Qiyi rushed back to Hong Kong and had no time to meet him, so he rushed to Hong Kong for a business trip. The two of them finally met in Hong Kong and thought I was kept in the dark. Ye Xuanfeng's intentions were not clearly stated, but I guess he wanted Changqing Group to take over the construction of the Jihe Coal Transportation Terminal..."

"On the first day I went to Jihe, Ji Chengxi also came to Shihe. I talked to him, but he was more inclined to Mei Gang to take over the construction of the coal-transport terminal in Jihe. If it really doesn't work, let Ji Chengxi come forward to do Ye's work." Cheng Wenguang said.

The 4 million tons coal transportation terminal in Jihe River was a cooperation project that was negotiated three years ago and was mainly invested and constructed by Huaineng Group.

At the end of last year, the Song Dynasty internally determined the development strategy of Huai Coal East. Under Huai Neng Group, Huai Neng Coal Industry was established to enter Huai West to develop coal resources, and in the future, it will supply coal-fired supply to the power plant groups in the middle and lower reaches of Zhujiang and Huai Hai Bay area. The power to build a coal-transport terminal in the Ji River suddenly lost its power supply.

Huaineng Group will not expect the supply of electricity and coal resources on Jihe River in the future. After the establishment of Huaineng Coal Industry, internal development funds became tighter, and the construction speed of Jihe River's coal terminal slowed down immediately, and it has only been less than half of the construction.

Chen Huai wanted Meigang to follow up the Jihe Port coal transportation terminal and continue to invest funds for construction, which can be regarded as a practical support for Cheng Wenguang's work in Hebei Province and maintain a tacit understanding of economic and trade cooperation with the Ji family.

Chen Huai never thought that Ye Xuanfeng neither wanted to continue building a coal-transport terminal nor let Mei Gang take over. However, he needed to explain to the Song Dynasty or the Ji family, so he wanted to ask Sun Qiyi to persuade the senior management of Changqing Group to expand his port investment business in the mainland.

The senior executives of Changqing Group really wanted to convince them and finally decided to expand their port investment business in the mainland and take over the construction of the Jihe Port coal transport terminal from Huaineng Group. Chen Huai's previous plan to integrate Meigang's port and shipping investment business will be completely ruined.
