King of Industry

In the reception room, after Zhao Guoyang was called by Leader Zhuo, he spoke his opinion aloud.

He said calmly: "As for whether Ninghai City is eligible to be upgraded to a prefecture-level city, the province has conducted several investigations before, and Professor Zhou must have done a lot of research, so I will not make mistakes. Here, we Let me just talk a little bit about my foundation and conditions for Ninghai City as a regional central city."

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's calm and steady words, Zhou Zhenkun nodded secretly.

Before coming here, Zhou Zhenkun had already studied this Researcher Zhao.

The reason is very simple. Through his understanding during this period of time, among the four most prosperous companies in Ninghai City, three of them have direct or indirect relationships with the legendary Researcher Zhao.

If this researcher Zhao just invigorated a company, then maybe it was luck.

However, they single-handedly promoted "Hongda Machinery Factory", "Xiangyang Machinery Factory" and their own "Rongguang Co., Ltd.", which definitely has nothing to do with luck.

Professor Zhou really wanted to know what kind of person this researcher Zhao was, who could have such great abilities.

Seeing that Zhao Guoyang wanted to speak at this time, Zhou Zhenkun naturally cheered up and was ready to listen to him.

Zhao Guoyang didn't notice that Professor Zhou was looking at him with great interest, and he said to himself: "As a water and land transportation hub in the central part of Jiangnan Province, Ninghai City and Guangling City have always had similar status."

"Guangling City is the gateway to the Yangtze River from the west of the Lixia River in the east of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and Ninghai City is the gateway to the Yangtze River from the hinterland of the Lixia River."

"As a water transportation center, Ninghai City formed a material distribution center in the central area of ​​Jiangnan Province a long time ago. Its history as a water transportation center even preceded Guangling City."

"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the development of production and exchange, as well as changes in traffic conditions and the re-division of administrative regions, Ninghai City's position in water transportation has indeed declined."

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang changed the subject: "However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is still the water transportation center in the central area of ​​Jiangnan Province, connecting the four directions of water transportation. Denied."

After hearing the first paragraph of Zhao Guoyang's narration, Zhuo Qingfeng's face revealed a look of relief.

And Huang Deqiang and Ding Hai, who were sitting behind the big man, looked at each other with a bit of shock in their eyes.

Obviously, they didn't expect that the young Researcher Zhao hit the nail on the head as soon as he opened his mouth.

Indeed, both Huang Deqiang and Ding Hai knew the status of Ninghai City's transportation center very well.

Geographically speaking, Ninghai City is impartial, and it happens to be in the middle of Jiangnan Province.

It can be said that its status as a transportation center is naturally formed, not touted.

Just because it is only a county-level city, this has been ignored.

Now Zhao Guoyang raised this point as soon as he opened his mouth. Obviously, he is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of Ninghai City.

Compared to Huang Deqiang and Ding Hai's astonishment, Zhou Zhenkun's feeling can be described as shock.

Because he has been studying Ninghai City for a while, this Professor Zhou already knows all about the situation in Ninghai City.

In his opinion, this researcher Zhao is so young, it is obviously a bit difficult to grasp the key points at once.

Zhou Zhenkun felt that if he could mention one or two advantages of Ninghai City in his speech, it would be very good.

But judging from Zhao Guoyang's initial utterance, he obviously came prepared.

Reminiscent of the humble words of the researcher Zhao before, Zhou Zhenkun became more interested in his next narration.

Zhao Guoyang didn't know what other people thought.

After a short pause, he began his second statement.

"Convenient transportation is a necessary condition for a region to form an economic center. Another basic condition for becoming an economic center is that it should first be a commercial center, that is, the center of commodity circulation in a region."

"From the perspective of the relationship between commodity circulation, and the relationship between the amount of money issued by the bank and the amount returned, almost 42% of the purchasing power of Ninghai City comes from other places. Such data, obviously, to a certain extent, prove the strength of the commercial center of Ninghai City. status."

Zhao Guoyang said calmly: "Perhaps all the leaders know that my ancestral home is actually from Jianghai County. But I can say with a pat on my chest that if we in Jianghai County want to buy high-end clothing and New Year's goods during the New Year holidays, The first choice has never been Guangling City, but Ninghai City..."

"If Ninghai City can be upgraded to a prefecture-level city, I think its commercial center will play a greater role. It is definitely not nonsense to become another commercial center in the central region of Jiangnan Province."

Hearing Zhao Guoyang's sincere narration, even Zhuo Qingfeng nodded silently.

Indeed, Ninghai's status as a commercial center is also an advantage that cannot be ignored when it is upgraded to a prefecture-level city.

Speaking of which, at the same time that Ninghai City proposed to be promoted, another county-level region below Guangling City—Xingtai City had also thought about it, wanting to be the first to grab the first position.

The reason why Xingtai City dared to raise this point was that their total GDP was to exceed that of Ninghai City.

But Xingtai City's proposal was quickly rejected after it came out.

The reason is simple. The population of Ninghai City is only slightly more than one-fifth of that of Xingtai City, less than 170,000.

But even so, the annual GDP of Ninghai City is only slightly inferior to that of Xingtai City.

Comparing the two sides, it is very clear which is better.

Moreover, the status of Ninghai City's commercial center is very obvious.

People from Jianghai County and Xingtai City, as long as they buy large items, they will definitely go to Ninghai City to buy them.

In terms of commerce, in the entire Guangling City, only Guangling City can surpass Ninghai City.

After carefully listening to the two points Zhao Guoyang said, Zhuo Qingfeng let out a deep breath and said, "Guoyang, that's right! Go on, go on..."

Zhao Guoyang gave an "uh" and scratched his head flattered.

Seeing his expression, the leaders of Ninghai City, who had been impressed by him for a long time, realized that Mr. Zhao, who had just talked in front of Leader Zhuo, was only twenty-five years old.

"It's really a boy born from a hero!" Some leaders of Ninghai City couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

With Zhuo Qingfeng's encouragement, Zhao Guoyang's narration became more fluent.

He went on to say: "If you want to become the economic center of a region, the economic strength of the industry is the most important. Because only when the industry is developed, the regional economy will be dynamic and attractive, and it will be able to maintain its status as an economic center for a longer period of time."

"But in this respect, it is really our Ninghai City's advantage..."

Hearing this, Zhuo Qingfeng laughed and said: "Guoyang, there is no need for you to list the data for us. Professor Zhou has already analyzed it clearly."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Qingfeng made a "please" gesture to Zhou Zhenkun and said, "Professor Zhou, please share the research data with us Researcher Zhao."

Zhou Zhenkun nodded reservedly when he heard the words.

Turning his head, this man smiled at Zhao Guoyang, and said methodically: "I completely agree with what Researcher Zhao said just now. All along, the industry in Ninghai City has a considerable scale and characteristics. Moreover, there are a number of backbone enterprises supporting it." .”

"It's no exaggeration to say that some of your city's top products are well-known in our entire Jiangnan Province!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhenkun opened the notebook in front of him and narrated some data: "According to the data I have collected for more than half a year, since 1982, the per capita industrial output value of Ninghai City has led the entire Jiangnan to the north. The region is leading the way.”

"Back then, the per capita output value of Ninghai City was second only to TZ City, and higher than all counties and cities including Guangling City. It was even stronger than Runzhou City to the south of the Yangtze River."

"In recent years, due to the rapid rise of 'Hongda Machinery Factory', 'Xiangyang Machinery Factory', 'Xialan Group', and especially 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.', the per capita output value of Ninghai City has been far ahead of the entire Yangtze River The area to the north. This kind of strength cannot be underestimated..."

After Professor Zhou finished speaking, Huang Deqiang, deputy director of the Provincial Political Research Office, added with a smile: "Of course, the reason why the per capita output value of Ninghai City is so high has something to do with the small population in your city. After all, Among other counties and cities, the population with the smallest population must be two or three times that of your Ninghai City."

"The population is small, so when you calculate it per capita, it will take some advantage. But it is undeniable that the industrial achievements you have made in Ninghai City in recent years are absolutely remarkable."

After Professor Zhou and Director Huang finished speaking respectively, Zhuo Qingfeng looked at Zhao Guoyang with a smile and said, "Guoyang, you have heard the data of Professor Zhou and Director Huang, right?"

Seeing Zhao Guoyang nod his head slightly, Zhuo Qingfeng waved his hand and said: "Okay, then you can continue talking about yourself!"

Zhao Guoyang let out a "huh" and continued: "After entering the 1990s, the relationship between economic development and science and technology has become more and more closely related. The economic center of a region must also be the center of science and technology."

"From the comparison of Ninghai City and its surrounding areas, Ninghai City's technical strength is still very prominent. Just in terms of science and technology and scientific information, Ninghai City has become another center in the central region of Jiangnan Province..."

After finishing the last point, Zhao Guoyang concluded with a serious face: "In summary, I think that Ninghai City has the foundation and conditions to become a central city below the provincial level. Upgrade Ninghai City to a prefecture-level city as soon as possible. Whether it is of positive significance to Ninghai City or to surrounding counties and cities!"

After listening to Zhao Guoyang's narration, Zhuo Qingfeng nodded slightly.
