The lengthy and boring work report did not arouse much interest from everyone here. In fact, this requirement is a very important plan to attract investment, which is actually more like a slogan-like declaration. The result must be finally put into the city and city itself to take care of the work. However, in this large and unreasonable plan, no valuable suggestions and opinions were put forward to the city, which is the so-called practical information.

The discussion of the first plan passed so easily, and soon entered the second one, which was a proposal from the Planning Commission on the Duyi Expressway Project and the Hanchuan Province Expressway Construction Planning.

It is said to be a proposal, but not only has Kang Guangliang read and put forward many suggestions, but Cheng Song has even reviewed it and gave a very high evaluation. Most of the content has also been reported to Wang Yunxiang.

Wang Yunxiang did not make a statement easily. He also knew that Cheng Song had also reported the content of this proposal to Zhou Yuanwang separately. This was also his instruction. After all, such a large plan and a transformational approach would definitely be questioned and criticized from all sides, and he also needed to be cautious.

Sha Zhengyang stood up and said hello to everyone. Then he sat down calmly and cleared his throat. "As commissioned by Director Guangliang, I will give a brief report on the relevant situation of the Duyi Expressway project... As we all know, the Duyi Expressway project is currently the most difficult and requires the most funds. At the same time, it is the least cost-effective highway project in terms of short-term economic benefits,..."

"..., this project has been questioned a lot since its inception. It's not that it should be launched or whether it can be launched. The key lies in the timing of the project. Therefore, when the province is studying the launch time of this project, it still tends to postpone it and wait until the conditions are more mature before starting it. But why should this project be taken out for a special research?"

Sha Zhengyang asked himself and then replied: "It is because some environmental conditions have changed at present. The provincial party committee and government believe that this project can be tried to see if it can be operated through abnormal channels and methods to further reduce the financial investment pressure in our Hanchuan Province and at the same time accelerate the construction of highways in our province. Therefore, the Duyi Expressway project has taken a 'side-side road',..."

When Wei Wenhui heard Sha Zhengyang say that he was a "no-language", he couldn't help but snorted, but the other senior officials showed a smile that could only be understood but not expressed.

"The reason why we think that it seems unlikely that the Duyi Expressway project, which is currently launched, has become possible, we believe that there are three main factors that have changed. First, the risk of the Asian financial crisis on my country's economic impact is becoming increasingly prominent. The central government is formulating strategies to correspond to it. The strategy of starting infrastructure construction, especially transportation infrastructure construction, to make up for my country's shortcomings in transportation infrastructure construction is extremely necessary and timely,..."

"The second is that the central government has identified poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation as a national strategy. The reason why the people in poor areas are poor is that transportation inconvenience is the main reason. Solving transportation problems and realizing industrial poverty alleviation through the development of industries will become a strategy after a significant change in the future,..."

"The third is that we have underestimated the resource endowment of the areas along the Duyi Expressway Project and the people's urgent desire to solve the inconvenience of transportation,..."

"So after this series of factors and conditions have changed, we believe that the Duyi Expressway project can be started at present, and at the same time, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity to actively promote the construction of expressway projects in the province,..."

"As for what is 'sided and left-wing', all the leaders know a little about it. I will briefly introduce the progress here. Through a series of early work, especially the support of the main leaders of the province, we first solved the problem of project loan financing of the China Development Bank. After preliminary consultation, the China Development Bank agreed to provide project loans of 1 to 2 billion yuan after the project capital is sufficient,..."

The China Development Bank was the first to handle it, because Wang Yunxiang and Cheng Song both communicated through their respective channel relationships.

Of course, the attitude of the China Development Bank is also very clear. This loan can only be issued after the project capital is sufficient and they have reviewed it.

The reason why this loan is 1 billion to 2 billion is that the gap is huge, and China Development Bank will evaluate the shareholders of future project companies, which not only evaluates the strength of shareholders, but also evaluates the shareholders' operating capabilities.

To be honest, if a company like Hohhot Group or Hutchison Whampoa or Hutchison Whampoa enters, it may be 2 billion, and if it is replaced by an unknown company, it may be 1 billion.

"After receiving support from China Development Bank, we started the work of seeking World Bank loans and Japan Collaborative Bank's low-interest loans. Through a lot of hard and meticulous work, the World Bank has supported our province's initiative to face difficulties and solved the strategy of increasing income and becoming rich in backward areas. It decided to support it and agreed to loans of US$150 million. Japan Collaborative Bank also appreciates the strategy of taking the lead in industrial poverty alleviation infrastructure in our province, and also agreed to provide 20 billion to 25 billion yen loans to the Duyi Expressway project under the premise of abundant capital,..."

Several deputy provincial governors all changed their colors slightly, which was a bit scary.

They are all experienced experts, so they are naturally familiar with the construction cost of expressways, especially Wei Wenhui.

The loan interests of China Development Bank, the World Bank and the Japan Cooperation Bank are both very low, especially the World Bank and the Japan Cooperation Bank.

After a preliminary calculation, if Duyi Expressway project can choose a capable partner, then the 2 billion yuan of China Development Bank, the 2 billion yuan of the World Bank, and the 1.5 billion yuan of Japan Cooperation Bank, this already accounts for 5.5 billion yuan of loans. With capital, the commercial loans that may be required may actually be only about 3 billion yuan.

This is nearly half the lower than the 5 billion commercial loans that were originally expected to require higher interest rates, which will greatly improve the interest payment pressure in the future operation period after the project is completed.

"In a sense, the loans from the World Bank and Japan Cooperation Bank have some policy tendencies. They believe that the Duyi Expressway project meets their loan direction. Because the Puchi and Wuling areas are relatively poor and backward, they think that construction can improve the development of this area?" Pan Guangzhang couldn't help but interrupt and asked.

"Indeed, the inspection teams of the World Bank and Japan Cooperation Bank have made a special trip to Puchi and Wuling areas, going deep into the countryside, and inspecting the road conditions and product outputs in the area. After analysis and evaluation, they believe that Duyi Expressway has built a high-speed to provide great help to the transportation of unique agricultural products in the area, such as tea, medicinal materials, poultry and some handicrafts, and can also greatly promote the employment improvement of rural residents in the area... "

As soon as Sha Zhengyang finished speaking, Wei Wenhui had already resumed the speech: "The World Bank and Japan Cooperation Bank have also put forward some prerequisites, believing that the project must attract partners with relatively mature operation and construction experience and strong capital strength. What does this mean?"

Finally, I still have to ask this question, and it seems that it cannot be avoided. Sha Zhengyang said calmly: "According to my understanding, the World Bank has some requirements in this regard. They hope to encourage private enterprises to join the construction and operation of such projects. They also mentioned some changes in the central policy of our country. They believe that the central government's policy changes in this regard are gratifying, which has changed the past trend of discrimination and suppression of the private economy. However, they still think that this aspect is not done enough, especially in some areas that are considered more sensitive in China, such as the infrastructure field. They hope that this attempt can bring more changes...

"Is this requirement a bit unreasonable? What if this project excludes domestic private capital? Will the World Bank terminate the loan? What about Japan's Collaborative Bank's loan?" Wei Wenhui said without much emotion, but he seemed very rational, as if he was exploring something. "Whether it is Duyi Expressway or other highway projects, these are infrastructure construction projects under the leadership of the government. I think this type of requirement of the World Bank and Japan Collaborative Bank is very bad and inappropriate. This brings a potential tendency, that is, the loans of the World Bank and Japan Collaborative Bank support private capital to enter our public infrastructure field, rather than supporting the economic development of our Hanchuan Province. Such loans seem to solve our temporary urgent needs, but the potential harm is far-reaching and secret,..."

Wei Wenhui's view is a bit ruthless and sharp.

Although the current central policy has given the green light to the private economy and has established that the private economy is an important part of our country's socialist economy from the perspective of party documents and constitutional amendments, discrimination and resistance to the private economy are still deeply rooted in the hearts of many people.

Especially if there is a conflict between the private economy and the state-owned economy, this sentiment will be more prominent and obvious, and firm support for the public economy will become politically correct and no one dares to object.

"I don't agree with the view of the Minister Wei! This is an unreasonable and infinite elevation. It sounds like a clear view and politically correct, but it is actually a clever word and a great harm!"

Sha Zhengyang refuted without hesitation, and even spoke a little unscrupulously, but he must do so!
