It is not uncommon for Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong to agree on a certain issue, but it is the first time that he has made such a clear stand and can't wait to implement the preliminary work as soon as possible.

Even though both support the issue of Lushan Group's merger of four state-owned textile enterprises, both of them still have some differences in how to promote and promote the pace and the specific conditions and details of mergers and integration, and both still need gradual coordination and communication in the later stage to achieve consensus.

But today, on the issue of Shangtuoda Steel Plant's project, the two of them are surprisingly consistent in their attitude, strength and urgency.

In this case, Lu Weimin naturally refused without hesitation.

Shang Tong and the others mentioned the matter of building their own power plants, reminding Lu Weimin not to be neglected. They have reported to Shao Jingchuan and Rong Daosheng respectively on the matter of building their own power plants. The province will strongly support Songzhou on this project. The Provincial Planning Commission is approving and applying for the Lushan Group's self-produced power plant project in accordance with the procedures. It is estimated that news will come from the State Planning Commission after the New Year.

The three of them walked out of the office and saw the falling snowflakes. The coldness that came to their face made the three of them who came out of the air-conditioned room clear their minds.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I hope our Songzhou can have a good start this year, so that our Songzhou can make a comeback from now on." Tong Yun let go of his hand and looked at the snowflakes flying all over the corridor, and said with a sigh.

"Old boy, this depends on the concerted efforts of our municipal party committee and government and work together to work together." Shang Quanzhi said in a deep voice: "It should be said that although our Songzhou has not yet escaped the shadow of economic recession last year, there are also some good signs. At least our municipal party committee and government team has cleared many hidden dangers that will bring huge harm to the development of our Songzhou. This is the basis for our Songzhou's next development. We have also explored some basic ways to reform state-owned enterprises. And for the people in attracting investment, we have brought us such good news. However, whether this project can be successful at least proves that our Songzhou is no longer a black hole that investors in the past are afraid of. Of course, this project must be successful. We must eliminate all interference, dare to break through and innovate, and strive to win this project. This can even be said to be related to the luck of our Songzhou's next development!"

Tong Yunsong and Lu Weimin were a little excited when Shang Quanzhi elevated the Tuoda Steel Project to a level that was related to Songzhou's development luck.

Indeed, a steel project is enough to change the fate of a city. Isn’t cities like Anshan, Benxi, Ma'anshan and Panzhihua prospered because of steel?

With the development and changes of the international and domestic steel industry structure, the steel industry has increasingly demanded on transportation conditions.

In fact, it is necessary to be close to the ore production area, sufficient fuel supply, and close to the consumer market. At the same time, abundant electricity and water resources are needed. It is basically impossible to meet these conditions at the same time. Therefore, the best choice is to have relatively broad development potential in transportation, so the transportation cost of ore, fuel and products can be minimized. At the same time, if the demand for electricity and water resources can be met, it is quite good. At these points, Songzhou basically has it.

On the contrary, the raw materials and fuels that restrict the steel industry are not that big, especially when the domestic iron ore taste is generally low, the signs of relying on foreign rich ores are becoming more and more obvious, and the gap between imported iron ore and domestic iron ore is becoming more and more obvious. Even if transportation costs are deducted, high-grade imported ore still has considerable advantages over many domestic poor ores, so the advantages of coastal and river port cities in this regard are becoming more and more obvious.

There are Lieshan Coal Mine and Lieshan Coking in Songzhou. Especially now that Lieshan Coal Mine and Lieshan Coking are preparing to expand production and technical transformation, there are also nearby Yishan Iron Mine that can be supplemented. It is also located in the hinterland of East China, with convenient water and land transport and abundant water resources. The adjacent Xiliangxiamengou Power Station is about to be built and connected to the grid to generate electricity. Songzhou is adjacent to the Yangtze River Delta, the golden area for steel market consumption, and it can also radiate to Hubei and Anhui provinces. The development of the steel industry is more in line with the needs of the times, and Songzhou will also prosper and prosper because of this.

On the last day before the Spring Festival in 1998, Lu Weimin brought such good news to Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong, which made Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong excited.

Although this is just an intentional idea, it still makes Shang Tong and the other two excited. If the establishment of Xinlushan Group is only to stop the bleeding of Songzhou's former pillar industry - the textile industry, then once the steel industry truly emerges in Songzhou, it means that Songzhou has added another hematopoietic function, which will become the key to Songzhou's re-rise.

"By the way, for the people, if, what I mean is that if Tuoda Group really intends to invest in a steel joint enterprise in our Songzhou, then where do you think this project is more suitable? Economic and Technological Development Zone?" Tong Yunsong suddenly thought of a question.

"No, I think the Economic and Technological Development Zone is not suitable. If this project is really to be implemented, it must be close to the port area. If nothing unexpected happens, it is necessary to build a dedicated railway line connecting with the Chang'an Railway. In addition, there is a great demand for water for steel enterprises, and it will not be suitable to prevent it from pollution. The Economic and Technological Development Zone is not suitable to introduce such projects. My personal opinion is whether Yehe or Su Qiao." Lu Weimin shook his head.

"Ye He, Su Qiao?" Tong Yunsong frowned.

"Well, Digang Town in the northwest of Yehe is close to Songcheng, only a few kilometers away from the city. It is located in the downstream area and can avoid polluting the city. At the same time, Lieshan Coal Mine and Coking Plant also have branch lines connected to Chang'an Railway through the Yehe River. If this project is implemented in Yehe, then the construction of the railway dedicated line can be saved a lot, and at least a few kilometers of railway dedicated line construction costs can be saved. At the same time, the Yehe Port area has a wide bank and deep water, which is also very suitable for the construction of deep-water port terminal berths. Of course, this also has a disadvantage. That is, Digang on the side of Yehe Port was just a small bulk cargo terminal. Although the conditions are good, it has never been used. There is a considerable investment in building a new Digang terminal."

Lu Weimin has obviously made some basic investigations and analysis of the layout of the steel industry in Songzhou.

"Where is Su Qiao and Zekou?" Shang Quanzhi asked with a frown.

Suqiao is located in a corner of the north of the river and is distributed along the river. The river bank is more than 40 kilometers long. The terrain of the river bank is complex, and deep-water berths can be built in many areas. Moreover, Suqiao's steel industry has a certain foundation. For example, Huafeng Steel and Liuhe Steel are developed by Suqiao's township enterprises. It should be said that Suqiao's conditions are also very suitable. Of course, the disadvantages are similar to Yehe. Suqiao's port area wharf also needs to be expanded. Now the dock area cannot adapt to the berth of large-tonnage cargo ships.

Zekou is located in the upper reaches and is close to Lize Lake District. It has a gentle terrain and vast wasteland on the river beach. It is close to Shazhou Port District. If you settle in Zekou, you can use the more mature freight terminals in Shazhou. Of course, it also needs to be expanded. However, the construction cost of dock berths is much smaller. From this perspective, Zekou is also a good choice. However, Zekou is located in the upper reaches and the steel plant will inevitably have pollution, especially in winter, which will have a certain impact on the air in the urban area. Even if necessary environmental protection dust removal measures are taken, it will probably have an adverse impact on the air in the urban area to a greater or lesser extent. This is also a problem. At the same time, if the industrial sewage generated is improperly treated, it will also have an impact on the adjacent Lize Lake District.

Lu Weimin briefly introduced the advantages and disadvantages of Su Qiao and Zekou. Shang Tong both frowned. Both of them prefer Su Qiao or Zezekou. Because Zekou is close to Shazhou Port District, it invests the smallest in dock berths in the port area. In addition, the vast river beaches and rich river beaches along Su Qiao are also very rich. Therefore, from this perspective, infrastructure construction will be relatively small. Yehe is different. Digang is located in a corner of the northeast and is still a distance from Yehe County. The road conditions are very poor. This also means that if the Tuoda Group steel project settles in Yehe, the local government will not only have to make a lot of blood on the dock berths, but also the road renovation and expansion from Digang to the city will also be on the agenda. Moreover, the road is estimated to be of low level.

And these are all subject to the expenses of local party committees and governments.

Investors will definitely negotiate conditions with the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on this issue, requiring the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to assume necessary obligations in infrastructure construction.

Seeing that Shang Tong and the others frowned, as if they were thinking about the feasibility of these choices, Lu Weimin couldn't help but laugh: "Secretary Shang, Mayor Tong, is it too early to consider this issue now? Even if we are worried about it here, the main thing is to look at the opinions of the project investors? Such a big project may not be done by just talking about it. There must be many specific details that need to be put into black and white, and ultimately they have to determine the results of their investigation. We can only make some recommendations and suggestions."

Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong couldn't help laughing.

The two of them were indeed a little attached to each other. As soon as this project emerged, it suddenly disrupted their mood for the New Year. It was rare to have a good New Year. I was worried about this. I was afraid that I had to think about how to complete the project when I was eating and sleeping. And I had to build a complete steel joint enterprise and a complete steel industry chain, and both upstream and downstream must be able to participate in it. The project will take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit in Songzhou to the greatest extent. Even the dead branches and leaves must be turned into fertilizer on the land of Songzhou, and it cannot flow out of Songzhou a little bit.
