Chapter 2986 High-Speed Rail

At a time when many high-tech companies were in chaos, Wuli'ao on the other side of the ocean was celebrating a good day.

The reason for the celebration was not because of any festival. They had just celebrated a festival that was very important in the local area, but many children in the city had never celebrated, the Beginning of Summer, three days ago.

This was actually very normal. The 24 solar terms were originally used as a supplementary calendar to guide agricultural production. They were the accumulation of long-term experience and wisdom of the "working people". Therefore, the more they were in agricultural areas, the more they were valued.

Although Wuli'ao is not an agricultural-based place now, the customs that have been passed down for so many years are difficult to change for a while.

Of course, on the weekend just past, many families in the town also celebrated Mother's Day with many people in the world.

Even Mei Qiuping received several large bags of gifts on that day, including food, clothing, and toys - mainly tickets to famous scenic spots around the world, and things to use - mainly cameras and peripherals... There were so many things that she had to ask Feng Zhenchang to help sort them out.

Most of these gifts have little to do with her beloved son Feng Yiping, but mainly come from the mothers of her grandchildren. This is also the second joy that the old couple has gained from their son's emotional life that makes them worry - the first aspect, of course, is the increasing number of grandchildren.

Feng Zhenchang, who was obviously jealous at the time, said sourly that this was actually a loss. As parents-in-law, if they only accept gifts from the mothers of their grandchildren but don't return gifts, how can it be justified?

And they must prepare two gifts in return, one for the grandchildren or granddaughter, and one for their mother.

In the return gifts, in addition to some local specialties, of course, some hard goods are indispensable. The children's mothers usually have jewelry, and the hard goods for the children, Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping have chosen gold bricks in recent years, or the uniform specifications of 500 grams a piece.

Amanda and Vincent, the gold bricks received from their grandparents in recent years are really good for building blocks.

Of course, Mei Qiuping also knew that Feng Zhenchang was jealous. Spending money on grandchildren was the most joyful thing for them at present. As for his son, humph, that was just a bonus for his grandchildren...

But in fact, no matter how much they disliked their son now, or how much they disagreed with him, they often couldn't avoid him in many things.

Just like today's excitement.

Feng Zhenchang, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, and Huang Chengzhong, wearing a gray suit, stood on the platform that had just been put into use, looking at the rails extending from afar, and said with emotion, "We also have a high-speed rail!"

Huang Chengzhong, who has retired and still has the cuffs of the assistant manager in his trouser pockets, couldn't help but say excitedly, "We are the first town in the province to have a high-speed rail station, and the first county-level city in the province to have a high-speed rail."

Yes, the reason why the whole Wuli'ao is so excited today is that today, May 10, the high-speed rail from the provincial capital to Wuli'ao was officially put into operation.

Huang Chengzhong, who is used to speaking in a simple way, actually didn't say it accurately enough. Wuli'ao is not only the first station in their province to have a high-speed railway station, but also the first in the country at this time.

Although the station they are in now is smaller in scale than the provincial railway station that many of them are familiar with, in terms of modernization, Wuli'ao's high-speed railway station is several levels higher than the provincial railway station that many people have visited when they went out to work.

Even those old people who don't know how to describe this large silver modern building will think that this station is well built and beautiful.

Architecture itself is also a kind of art, and good works of art do not require you to have professional knowledge to understand its excellence, because one of their common points is that they look good.

Moreover, the high-speed railway station in Wuli'ao has chosen the shape that makes Wuli'ao people feel familiar - people who are not familiar with Wuli'ao will think it should be a blooming lotus with few petals, but Wuli'ao people can see at a glance that the shape is clearly a peeled chestnut.

However, this chestnut is not only silver, but also surprisingly large.

Although Feng Yiping was not present today, everyone knows that the opening of the high-speed railway in Wuli'ao is of course closely related to him.

Everyone in Wuli'ao knows that the total investment of this 213.7-kilometer high-speed railway is nearly 18.2 billion. In order to allow the state to approve the project, most of the funds for this high-speed railway are raised by the local government. This high-speed railway has only four stations, two of which are in the county, that is, the county seat - after being upgraded to a county-level city, it is now also called a city, and Wuli'ao. The other two are one in the provincial capital and one in the city.

Obviously, most of the self-raised funds are borne by their county. If Wuli'ao had not developed, how could the county have such strength and courage?

And according to reliable information, Yiping also directly provided financial support for the investment in this high-speed railway - he personally borrowed money from the county.

Although few people know the specific amount, think about it, it should not be a small amount.

For example, the location of Wuliao Station is between Meijiawan and Liangjiahe Middle School. It takes no more than a quarter of an hour to drive from here to Fengjia Chong. How could the choice of this higher address have nothing to do with Feng Yiping?

A few years ago, they entered the high-speed era. Now, they are leading most places in the country and entering the high-speed rail era. Not to mention the elderly people, even the young people who are the same age as Feng Yiping are very It is difficult to face such a leap-forward change calmly.

When I was in junior high school, this place was still a dusty, old-looking ravine market town. When I was in high school, it looked like a small industrial town along the coast. When I got there, I started to seriously consider starting a family. When I went there, it turned out to be a modern big city with strong economic strength and good planning. Of course, this big is also relative. The current population of Wuli'ao is only more than 3 million. That’s all.

This brings up another issue, the level of Wuli'ao Town.

And this level issue is not just a matter of level, it is mainly an issue of belonging.

I heard that there are many related plans. Some want to upgrade Wuli'ao from a town to a county. Some want to directly upgrade their county-level city to a prefecture-level city. Some want to upgrade their county-level city to a prefecture-level city. The station was directly moved to Wuli'ao...

There are too many games involved behind this, and such a large-scale adjustment of administrative divisions is never a trivial matter. At present, it may be difficult to achieve results within at least one or two years.

But this problem has become increasingly urgent as Wuli'ao's population has increased dramatically.

In fact, the administrative scale of Wuli'ao Town has long been the largest in their prefecture-level city. However, Su Mingfeng, who was not well received by Feng Yiping when he first took up his duties, the Municipal Standing Committee and Deputy Mayor, was very concerned about the relevant matters. We pay close attention to the affairs of the county-level city. Otherwise, their headquarters in this county-level city would have been moved to Wuli'ao...

At this time, Su Mingfeng was accompanying leaders from the province to a meeting at the station.

Although he has accumulated enough relevant capital during his tenure, it is precisely because of this that he is even more reluctant to leave this position. For this reason, he really spent a lot of effort.

In addition to the efforts that should be spent within the system, more importantly, he strictly implemented the general directions that Wuli'ao has always firmly adhered to, that is, the path of resource-saving, environmentally friendly and sustainable development.

This persistence is most closely related to the general public, and it is the housing prices in Wuli'ao.

Although in the past two years, as the country has increased its efforts in the construction of affordable housing after the financial crisis, the housing market across the country has cooled down to varying degrees, but with the scale and strength of Wuli'ao, the current housing prices are It is really rare that the housing prices are the same as those in the prefecture-level city where they belong, which can only be regarded as a third- and fourth-tier city.

At the same time, he has not slackened on related institutional reforms and improvements in the work style of civil servants. In the past two years, although there have been cases of rat shit being investigated and punished, the relevant ratio is very, very small, and the amount involved is the highest. It's less than a million - as elsewhere, it's because of the transportation system where related problems are common...

For this reason, he also has a very broad mass base, including the support of Feng Yiping.

At 10:20 in the morning, they ended the meeting. When the provincial leader shook hands with Feng Zhenchang, the crowd became restless, "Coming, coming,"

Ahead, the Harmony train is coming into everyone's sight...
