The fundamental reason for the Meigang system is to be an industrial cluster with Meigang as the core. It is impossible for Shenhuai, and it will not always be in Xiapu. Xiapu's personnel and financial power must always be handed over. At this time, it will be conducive to the development of the entire Huaihai Bay area and the better development of the industrial environment outside Meigang. Shenhuai had no intention of playing against Xu Pei.

Concessions require each other to be a little sincere, and Tian Jiageng and Zhong Limin support the development of Meigang, which is ultimately a support for the overall interests and support Huaihai Bay. Huaihai Province can have better and faster development.

Even if Xu Pei now proposes to carry out a pilot project in Xiapu directly under the provincial county, Chen Huai will support it in exchange for Xiong Wenbin to carry out his work smoothly in Xucheng.

The two conditions proposed by Xu Pei are less than the restrictions on the provincial-level county pilot project, so Chen Huai naturally has no reason to firmly oppose it.

There is no room for Shen Huai to interfere with the organization and personnel rights. If it is really necessary to implement it, he will cooperate. He is still talking about the government construction fund: "Xiapu has a good geographical advantage. In the past few years, it has also been supported by the policies of the province and the city. Today, it has achieved some results. In mid-July, the surrounding districts and counties around Xiapu were seriously affected, and a considerable part of it was caused by insufficient investment in infrastructure construction. After that, our county party committee decided to establish a government construction fund, and it also believed that we have some development and obligation to assume more responsibilities. However, in the arrangement of the use of the government construction fund, Xiapu County's vision is narrow after all, and it is not able to do more coordination. Now it can be taken over by the province, which is naturally better. Not only me, but I think other members of our county party committee will also support it."

Xu Pei was quite satisfied with this result and said, "The province took over and wanted this government construction fund to play a better role. Chen Huai, you have not yet assumed the corresponding responsibility in the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone Development Leading Group. This government construction fund still needs you to serve as the chairman..."

"I don't have such great coordination ability. Secretary Xu, you insist on rushing me on the shelves. That will only limit the fund to play a better role," Chen Huai refuted firmly. "After the establishment of the construction fund, I have been really troublesome about how to better play the role of the fund. Secretary Xu, you won't mention it today, I will also ask Secretary Xu for help. I have always wanted Mayor Guo or Director Li to serve as the chairman of the foundation. Their abilities are much better than mine..."

"Li Gu and Cheng Ze are both busy, so we can't put any burden on them anymore," Xu Pei rejected Chen Huai's proposal and said, "You must not want to take this responsibility. I think of a suitable candidate. Wu Haifeng was the secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee before, and he is familiar with all aspects. We cannot indulge him in the Provincial CPPCC to support his retirement. I think it is appropriate to ask him to come out to preside over the work of the foundation. What do you think?"

Ye Xuanfeng naturally understood that Xu Pei attended today's preparatory meeting and had such a conversation with Chen Huai. It can be said that it was the follow-up development after the matter of Zhong Limin met Xiong Wenbin more than two months ago.

Zhong Limin transferred Xiong Wenbin to Xucheng in the hope that it would promote Xucheng's industry and urban development, so as to further promote the development of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone as a whole.

Xu Pei must suppress Xiong Wenbin. Not asking him to make a difference in Xucheng will only make him a resistance and fall into isolation.

No matter who it is, against the general trend, he will only make himself isolated, and he can only be stronger than a moment. Xu Pei is a person with political ambitions, so he will not misunderstand this principle.

It is not surprising that he chose the peak and went with the flow and fought for more benefits at this time.

Chen Huai knew how to give up and resolutely refused to take up his position in the foundation, which made Ye Xuanfeng even more trouble.

Xu Pei seemed to ask him about the candidate for the chairman of the Huaihai Government Fund. How could Ye Xuanfeng not know? Where can he have room for him to speak?

Chen Huai gave up the Huaihai government fund in exchange for Meigang's greater development opportunities in Xucheng. It is still difficult to say whether gains are greater than losses or losses are greater than gains. Chen Huai's understanding of compromise with confidence undoubtedly shows that the means he will use in the future will be more smooth and mature.

As for the position of chairman of the Government Construction Foundation, it doesn’t matter who will take on it.

After all, the government fund was separated from Xiapu County and was taken over by the provincial government and the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone Development Leading Group. The final decision-making power for large-scale infrastructure projects is in the hands of the leading group.

Sometimes what everyone needs is more about their own posture.

Chen Huai's obedience and cooperation will undoubtedly help strengthen Xu Pei's authority in Huaihai Province; and Xu Pei's ability to have a public support for Mei Gang will greatly improve the attitude of many centrists not cooperating with Mei Gang.

Xu Pei recommended Wu Haifeng as the chairman of the government fund, which also made each other's compromise seem more moderate.

It doesn't matter who is the chairman, but this government fund cannot be said to be unimportant.

Xiapu County has invested 500 million in this government fund this year. According to the ratio Xu Pei said during the meal, Xiapu County conservatively estimates that it will continue to spend 10 billion next year. Now the province will take over this government fund and then allocate a certain amount of fiscal and tax revenue from other wealthy districts and counties. Next year, the scale of this government fund dedicated to infrastructure in the Huaihai Bay area will exceed 2 billion.

In 1994, Tian Jiageng was transferred to Huaihai Province as the provincial party secretary. In order to promote the construction of Xudonggao Road, he personally came forward to coordinate many times. It took more than one billion yuan of construction funds to raise more than a year.

The provincial finance has improved a lot now, but it is only 700 to 8 billion a year. In addition to various expenses, the budget expenditure that can be used for infrastructure investment in the province is even less than one billion.

The Huaihai Economic Zone Development Leading Group, which has the control of this government fund, and cooperates with certain financial leverage, has obtained the support of provincial banks. Next year, it will be able to lead up to 30 to 4 billion infrastructure investment in the Huaihai Bay Economic Planning Zone.

Ye Xuanfeng can understand how much this portion is.

Of course, from these data, we can also see how huge the scale of Chenhuai mobilizes various resources in one year and can implement infrastructure construction of up to 200 to 30 billion in Xiapu.

At the same time, this actually means that if Huaineng Group continues to delay, Huaihai Province will have the ability to independently promote the upgrading and transformation of Xudong Railway next year.

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

After dinner, Xu Pei left with his entourage.

Chen Huai also spoke to Wu Haifeng on the phone and told him about some of the conversations with Xu Pei at noon.

Although the CPPCC and the National People's Congress are places where officials retire to the second line and retire, they are in their sixties like Wu Haifeng, and they will actually have to completely retreat in one or two years.

Only informal official institutions such as Huaihai Government Fund, as long as they are healthy and energetic, and have positions such as the chairman, pay attention to the reputation and influence of the incumbents, and will not have such strict restrictions on age.

Chen Huai now handed over this government fund to the provincial government and the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone Development Leading Group. Even if this government fund is not formally compiled, everyone will assume that it has the corresponding specifications and levels, which is often called enjoying XX treatment.

If Wu Haifeng can serve as chairman of the Huaihai Government Fund, his official retirement age can be postponed later, and his political treatment will not be reduced, and his political influence will not be worse than that of the vice chairman of the Provincial CPPCC he is currently serving. How could Wu Haifeng be unhappy when he heard this news?

Wu Haifeng also wanted to call Chen Huai to drink at night, but Chen Huai wanted to accompany Cheng Yi to Chen Manli's wedding banquet at night. He had to come to Xucheng next time and then go to Wu Haifeng's house for dinner.

The meeting between Chen Huai and Xu Pei was naturally informal, and there would be no documentary records left. Ye Xuanfeng had to think about the meeting between Chen Huai and Xu Pei, and the provincial party secretary Zhong Limin, who met Chen Huai and Xiong Wenbin in Yicheng for more than two months, had to think about the profound changes in the economic and power structure of Huaihai Province, and what kind of world Mei Gang would step into next.

Ye Xuanfeng didn’t know what Governor Zhao Qiuhua, Xu City Mayor Zhou Renjun, and Donghua Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Baoqi and others thought about what they would think after they learned that Chen Huai and Xu Pei met at Huaihai Ying Hotel today?

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

Xu Pei made a public statement that some differences in the upgrading and transformation of Xudong Railway immediately melted a lot, and the preparation agenda was not so tense.

In the afternoon, the snow in the courtyard had not yet subsided. When the snow fell, Cheng Yi and Li Gu and Qin Dawei watched the snow in the west garden of Ying Hotel.

It was something that Chen Huai expected and was preparing to do to hand over the Huaihai government construction fund.

More than two months ago, when Chen Huai and Xiong Wenbin were leaving for Secretary Zhong to talk, Secretary Zhong raised the issue of the tight construction funds that the province could master and the lack of dominance in key infrastructure projects. If the province could have 200 to 30 billion yuan of funds to be freely controlled, the Xudong Railway Renovation Project would not have been officially launched for two years.

This government construction fund is in the hands of Xiapu County. Even if the funds are sufficient, it is difficult to have the dominance of key infrastructure projects due to actual administrative levels.

Chen Huai's initial idea was that Li Gu would lead the Huaihai government fund to promote the construction of some key basic projects in the province. Therefore, when talking to Xu Pei, Chen Huai introduced Guo Chengze and Li Gu at the same time. Unexpectedly, Xu Pei rejected Guo Chengze and Li Gu at the same time and recommended Wu Haifeng to come out.

It cannot be said that Xu Pei is not the case. Letting Wu Haifeng serve as the chairman of the fund means that the influence of the Mei Steel Group continues to expand. Xu Pei, at least on the surface, did not impose any suppression at all, but the other side of this matter also shows that Xu Pei is wary of Li Gu.
