Chapter 466: Urban Circle

This time, they also saw many film and television dramas for sale in Starlight Film and Television City, such as "My Fair Princess" and "Meteor Garden" and other actors, costume props in the play, and specialty stores for Q-version dolls. They also allow tourists to shoot and interact without interrupting the filming of the film and television series. Those who are lucky can also serve as temporary actors to get the signature of their idols in their minds. The entire film and television city has actually become a huge tourist theme park. The film and television city is filled with laughter from tourists. If this momentum can be maintained, it may not be impossible for Yang Xing to imagine that Starlight Entertainment Film and Television City would challenge Disney theme parks.

In addition to shooting sets and specialty stores, the most common ones in the film and television city are real restaurants under various buildings. Relying on the style of the Film and Century City, the ancient costume Song Dynasty cake shops and British taverns are parallel, which is very chaotic. Yang Xing and his group are tired of strolling inside, so they find a small Italian cafe to rest.

After sitting down, Kan Dongtian finally expressed his intention. Jiudu’s cooperation with Zhongxing International can be said to be a common prosperity and decline. The province and the central government have the intention to promote Kan Dongtian. He may not be able to finish this term and will take up a new position. Whether it is an official in another place or an promotion on the spot, he has been far ahead of other colleagues in just a few years, and he has a bright future. However, with the promotion of official positions, his vision naturally cannot be limited to the municipal level. In the future, more problems are needed from the provincial and ministerial level. Governor Li and Mayor Ma both received satisfactory answers from Yang Xing to the economic support of the province and the city. As comrades who have special relationships with Yang Xing, I believe that Yang Xing will never forget to leave one hand for him, so he found Yang Xing and wanted to talk alone.

Of course, Yang Xing would not refuse this. To be honest, he has dealt with government officials in many places in China over the years. Out of political inertia, most officials have used his components, and relatively happy cooperation, and only Kan Dongtian is not to be wary of. He is the few official in China who does not have an orderly attitude towards his entrepreneurs and treats him equally. He dares to think and is willing to do it, and supports Yang Xing's bold ideas many times, which has also allowed Zhongxing International to expand its business rapidly from childhood to adulthood. Yang Xing also reciprocates this, vigorously supports Jiudu's economic development, and has promoted Jiudu, a third-tier industrial city, to the top 100 manufacturing cities in the country. This time, Yang Xing also left some good things for Kan Dongtian.

He asked his secretary Yu Ge to open a map of Zhongyuan Province. Now he is accustomed to carrying a local map with him when he goes anywhere to do business. He is ordering Yao Hongji, who is responsible for developing a smartphone operating system, to integrate g*** and digital maps into the new generation of "Star Wars" systems, and he will be able to walk around with the latest maps in the future.

Obviously, Yu Ge had done a lot of homework on the customs and customs of Zhongyuan Province before, and quickly followed Yang Xing's instructions to draw out the Jiulong Road, the first expressway in the province that had been opened shortly after it was opened. "The economy of Zhongyuan Province has always been saying that the north is heavy and the south is light. The economy of Longcheng, Mall, and Jiudu three cities account for almost half of the province, and the straight distance between these three cities is no more than 200 kilometers. They arrive a few hours after the expressway is opened. And I heard that the country had set up a new high-speed railway between Qinhuangdao and Shenyang in the north last year. In the future, if such high-speed railway projects with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour are promoted on a large scale, the high-speed railways between these three cities in the province will definitely be the first batch of construction. By then, the traffic time between cities will inevitably be significantly shortened. If you want to get rich, the road will be built first. If this road is repaired, it will be a great opportunity to get rich." Yang Xing said with a smile.

Kan Dongtian stared at Yang Xing's fingers with shiny eyes. He saw him heading from ***long city along the Jiulong Expressway on the map and finally arrived at Jiudu City. He drew a vast area along the highway line in the middle. Yang Xing explained, "In fact, these three cities in the province have their own characteristics. Jiudu has a long history and culture, a strong industrial foundation. The mall is located on a major transportation route and is a distribution center for commercial materials. Although Longcheng's industrial level is relatively low, as a northern water city, it is adjacent to the Yellow River and the tourism advantages of the ancient capital of the Song Dynasty are also extremely favorable. Moreover, Longcheng and the mall are very close to each other. In the early years, the province had the idea of ​​merging the mall and the Longcheng administrative division to establish a small city circle. What I am thinking about now is whether we can take a step bigger, take the three cities as the foundation, build small and medium-sized towns in this large area in the middle to form an economic industrial belt."

"Now the main trend of foreign urban construction has changed from the direction of building super-large cities to the development of a series of small and medium-sized towns with similar geographical environments and convergence in language customs, and economic complementarity. The province wants to change its economy. Instead of building big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, it is better to change its thinking and unite the three largest cities in the province to form an efficient urban circle."

"When you rely on convenient transportation, a one-day living circle will be formed between the three cities. You can handle official business in Longcheng in the morning, inspect the factory at noon, and go back to the mall to have a meal and rest in the evening. It is exciting to think about it. Of course, there are many problems in building a one-day urban circle. The high-speed rail is not open yet, but there is another alternative. These three cities have their own airports, but the routes are uneven, the mall airports are crowded, and the routes are very small. Why not apply to open the three cities intercity route first, which not only saves a lot of business time, but also solves the problem of scarcity of flights. I heard that the city issued a document requiring official travel to take flights at the city airport as much as possible, and provide business trip subsidies. Citizens complained, right?"

Kan Dongtian's face turned red, Yang Xing said it well. This incident has become a rare failure and is almost a laughing stock in the domestic politics. However, the reasons are complicated, and the city has had no choice but to make a decision. Jiudu Airport was the result of the previous city leaders' decision-making. At the beginning, there was no preliminary detailed planning and sufficient demonstration, and it only focused on building high standards for aviation. As a result, although it has the longest runway in the province, which can take off and land large aircraft like the Boeing 747, under the current air control conditions, the negotiations between the city and the provincial aviation control department and the Air Force, which have an important say in the route planning, were not smooth. As a result, there were few routes allocated to Jiudu after the airport was completed, and most of them were waiting for garbage in the middle of the night, which resulted in the airport being deserted. Many citizens would rather take a car to the mall airport to take a plane than board the plane at their doorstep.

The consequence is that Jiudu Airport has suffered losses for years, and it requires a large subsidy in the city to barely operate, which has become a big burden for the city's finances. Mayor Ma, who succeeded Kan Dongtian, issued an administrative order last year, restricting the city's government officials from traveling from the city airport to reimburse the business trip allowance. The result is that officials were forced to travel in the middle of the night or choose to take railways and other travel methods, which was very dissatisfied. The administrative orders used to force everyone to take flights at Jiudu Airport and use the city's financial subsidy to fly business trip allowances, which was contrary to the central government's policy of streamlining office expenses. The citizens were not happy and it was not nice to say it. Jiudu Municipal Government had to deal with it in a low-key manner and dare not make a big splash. Unexpectedly, it still reached Yang Xing's ears.

Yang Xing smiled and said, "The government is doing bad things with good intentions. Now it is talking about reducing the financial dependence of public institutions everywhere. This will not only turn the airport into a bottomless pit, but also make up for losses year by year. It also makes citizens think that government officials can be reimbursed by planes, which is a gift to others. In fact, according to what I said, it is much simpler to open intercity routes and push airport operations to the market, which is a normal business competition issue."

Kan Dongtian was quite touched after hearing this. The young man in front of him made a big move and used the method of building a city circle to improve the competitiveness of the province's economy, and solved the long-standing problems of the city airport. Sure enough, he understood that the urban circle plan was huge and not achieved overnight. As his political achievements plan was raised, he was not sure how to implement it in detail. Yang Xing proposed the proposal to establish an intercity flight in the city, but he had no experience in this area, so he also asked Yang Xing. Yang Xing saw that more and more people were gathering around him and was talking too much, and said, "This matter is confidential, let's talk while walking." After checking out, he rushed to the next target with Kan Dongtian and the others, the South Bank Industrial Zone where the Central Star City is located.

On the way, Yang Xing and Kan Dongtian analyzed that building a three-city urban circle is a huge plan, which takes at least ten years. In fact, this is not Yang Xing's originality. He was also inspired by the development suggestions put forward by many scholars to the province over the years. In fact, the province has long had the idea of ​​building three-city economic industrial belts, and he also proposed to debate which model is more suitable for national conditions, the Ruhr Industrial Zone in Germany, the Greater Paris District in France, and the East Coast Industrial Zone in the United States.

However, the administrative division of centralized power in China and issues involving touching the interests of local forces at all levels have involved many issues and are difficult to adjust. This matter has been discussed at the provincial committee many times, but it cannot be implemented for various reasons. But if according to Yang Xing's proposal, Kan Dongtian felt that this problem could still be solved. If this problem is solved in his hands, this is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of his rule. Not to mention being a provincial and ministerial-level cadre at that time, it is not impossible to go further.

"Everything must start from small places. Since we must first build a city circle, we must first develop our own Jiudu Airport. We can apply to the provincial civil aviation department to open several more short-haul flights to the provincial capital and Longcheng in the name of solving the airport's losses. In addition, don't forget that the only branch of the China Civil Aviation Institute in China is located in Jiudu. In addition to normal transportation business, Jiudu Airport is also an exclusive training base for the school. It is useless to use so many teaching aircraft in the school to waste resources. Why don't the city discuss with the school that the shipping company under my jurisdiction will pay the money, the city will send the local area, the school will send the personnel and planes, and a low-cost airline will be formed, using Jiudu Airport as a base to specialize in short-haul airlines in the province and surrounding areas. What do you think?"
