Chapter 1360 Great Changes in Pengcheng!

Yang Ming believed that only the old man's courage could do it. If he missed it, he would never know when it would come again.

Yang Ming and the old man talked until late at night.

Originally, Yang Ming was going to stay at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, but because it was too late, he was arranged to stay at the Zhudao Hotel directly.

After Yang Ming took a shower and rested.

The old man was still asleep.

At this time, the 88-year-old man actually went to bed late and got up early, which was related to the fact that the old man did not need so much sleep.

It was also related to the conversation Yang Ming had with him tonight.

After Yang Ming went to rest, the old man was still in the study, looking at the map.

Far East City.

Hunchun.

Then the entire Northeast, and even Dongyang and South Korea across the Northeast.

Now the old man is very clear about his age, but he still stays awake and knows what he is thinking.

It can be said that from the initial experimental areas such as Pengcheng, to the 14 coastal cities, and then to the development of Pudong, Qionghai and other places.

Now the coastal areas are basically connected and developed.

Only this former eldest son of the Republic.

Northeast.

In recent years, the economy has gradually declined.

Many problems are just as Yang Ming said, or even more serious.

When Yang Ming founded Far East City, the old man specifically asked someone to bring him the data of the Northeast over the past few decades.

He has always wanted to find a breakthrough.

Now, according to what Yang Ming said, it is indeed very feasible.

However, if it is really done that way, it involves hundreds of millions of people, 20 million state-owned enterprise employees, and all aspects.

For the old man, these are actually not a problem, as long as the Northeast can truly develop.

In his opinion, it is not a problem for Mr. Yang to make that suggestion.

Now, he is nearly ninety years old, and he doesn't know when he will die, but for the old man, the only hope is to make the country richer faster and more likely.

Rather than developing in some places.

He hopes that all aspects can be developed.

However, like the development of many places in the mainland, the old man also knows that he may not see the day of development.

On the contrary, the Northeast is different.

If possible, he hopes that this is his last gift to the country.

. . .

Rest for a night.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming woke up early.

Mainly because there is no time difference between Guangzhou and Hong Kong, Yang Ming can get up early by habit.

Now when Yang Ming got up and washed, the old man had already gotten up and was playing with his family.

In January, Guangzhou will be a little cold when the cold air moves south, but it is indeed much warmer than when it snows heavily in the north.

When Yang Ming was called over to have breakfast together.

Yang Ming and the old man finished breakfast.

In the morning.

After visiting other large state-owned enterprises in Guangzhou.

That afternoon.

Under the escort of Mr. Li and others from Guangzhou, Yang Ming and the old man and others left Guangzhou by car and headed for the second stop in Guangdong Province.

Pengcheng.

This is the place that the old man attaches the most importance to.

There may be no other.

Pengcheng is the place that the old man attaches the most importance to, and it is also one of his experimental areas. Now after many years, he just wants to see how the results here are.

Originally, the old man was going to take the train to Pengcheng, but he heard that the highway from Yangcheng to Pengcheng was also very convenient, so he changed to a car.

When the old man and others looked out from the business car, they were really shocked to see the vehicles on the highway.

"I heard that this is the first highway that Mr. Yang has invested in China?"

"Yes, old man."

At this time, Yang Ming was in another car.

The old man was introduced to him by someone next to him.

Now this highway, known as the golden channel, has completely affected the economic development of Yangcheng, Dongguancheng, and Pengcheng, and also affected the three places.

At the beginning, Yang Ming considered the number of cars owned in the two places in the next few decades to design it. So now this highway looks very spectacular.

"Mr. Yang's vision is still very powerful."

Others can see the development in the next few years, which is very powerful, but in the old man's opinion, Mr. Yang can see the development in the next few decades, which is really powerful.

After all, according to the development of this highway, who would have thought that the country would develop so fast and there would be so many more people owning private homes.

Now there are more millionaires in Yangcheng, Pengcheng, and even Dongguan, and naturally there are more private cars.

In addition, there are a large number of trucks that also pass through this highway.

If it is a holiday.

In the early 1990s, there were more vehicles on this highway.

More than an hour.

The convoy of the old man and Mr. Yang and others arrived in Pengcheng.

At this time, Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhu from Guangdong Province had already arrived in advance, and Mr. Li, Mr. Zheng from Pengcheng, and Yuan Geng from Shekou and others all came.

There were many people to welcome the old man.

However, the appearance of Yang Ming now also attracted the attention of many people.

The eyes of everyone present and the flash of the camera were all cast on this old man who led a generation of coquettishness.

The old man was in very good health, with bright eyes and a kind face. He wore a dark gray jacket and black trousers, and stepped out of the car door in high spirits.

Eight years later, his footprints once again set foot on the land of Pengcheng, which is at the forefront of opening up.

The old man smiled and shook hands with Mr. Xie from Guangdong Province, Mr. Li from Pengcheng, Mr. Zheng and others who came to welcome him.

Mr. Li also moved forward and said emotionally: "All the people in our city welcome you."

Mr. Zheng said: "The people of Pengcheng are looking forward to your coming, and they have been looking forward to it for eight years!"

The old man boarded a commercial vehicle with the provincial and municipal officials and arrived at the Guiyuan Hotel where he was staying.

Here I am waiting for Mr. Li, Mr. Li and others to come forward, shake hands with the old gentleman and say hello.

After all, the old gentleman was old, and the person in charge of Pengcheng advised him to take a good rest first. But the old man was not tired and said excitedly: "When I arrived in Pengcheng, I couldn't sit still. I wanted to see everywhere."

The entourage said that the old man was in good health and had a good rest in the car last night. Since he was in high spirits, let's arrange activities.

In this way, after resting in Guiyuan for about 10 minutes, the old man, Mr. Xie and others took a walk in the guest house.

After the dissemination, the old man, accompanied by the provincial and municipal leaders, took a bus to sightsee the city. When he got on the bus, the old gentleman said humorously: "If you go out for a walk in the car, you won't be ostentatious through the city!"

The accompanying person said: "No, no, don't worry!"

The car drove slowly through the city.

Eight years ago, some areas here were still paddy fields, fish ponds, winding paths, and low-rise buildings. Nowadays, wide roads crisscross the city, tall buildings tower into the sky, and colorful advertising signs line both sides of the streets. Everywhere is full of a prosperous and vibrant modern atmosphere.

Seeing this, the old gentleman was very happy.

Mr. Li said to him: "Pengcheng has been developing very fast in recent years, except for a few years, with an average annual growth rate of more than 20%. The situation of utilizing foreign capital is also relatively good, and the state-owned economy and other economic components have also grown. soon!"

The old gentleman asked: "What is the proportion of foreign investment?"

Mr. Li said: "It accounts for about 50%, about half of the total."

The old man nodded and said with emotion: "Eight years have passed. It seems that Pengcheng, Zhucheng, Huicheng Experimental Zone and other places have developed so fast this time. I didn't expect it. After reading it, , confidence increased.”

The most proud thing about Pengcheng is that it is very young. It is not only the youngest city in Asia, it can even be said to be the youngest city on earth. There is no splendid palace in Yanjing, nor the hidden treasures of Chang'an. The underground tombs of many emperors did not play an important role in modern history like Yuzhou and Shencheng. There are no traditions that can be inherited and no ancient magical legends.

But Pengcheng is indeed the fastest growing city in China in the 20th century, if not the fastest growing city in the country.

When the old gentleman saw the grandeur of Pengcheng today, no one would associate it with the desolate and remote border town of previous years.

An "Old Pengcheng" described the old man like this: "I first came to Pengcheng 8 years ago. The Pengcheng I saw for the first time had no wide streets, no crowds of traffic, no buses, and no vegetable markets. , there was no park, only patches of weeds, dusty paths, and rows of linoleum shacks where the builders lived. "I couldn't help but cry."

Nowadays, modern high-rise buildings are coming into the old man's field of vision one after another. The scenery outside the window of red and green, yellow and blue, and Mr. Li's high-pitched voice are all stimulating the old man's thinking and making him excited. .

The old man talked a lot along the way, and he also saw the tremendous changes in Pengcheng in the past eight years, which made the old man know that this path was the right one.

The car turned south and entered a new, wider and more advanced road - Huanggang Road. As the speed increased, the car arrived at Huanggang Port in an instant.

The old gentleman looked at the grand and magnificent port facilities and smiled with satisfaction. He climbed to the highest point of the port, where he could clearly see Mazhou, Xiangjiang across the river.

"Mr. Yang, Pengcheng is getting better and better, and Xiangjiang is getting better and better."

Eight years ago, I saw the Xiangjiang side here.

Now eight years later, when the old man looked over there, he knew that Xiangjiang is still the richest place in Asia and even the world.

However, he knew that this was related to Mr. Yang in front of him.

After visiting Huanggang Port, the old man took a bus back to the city. He was very excited and talked with provincial and municipal leaders along the way.

The dinner atmosphere this evening was also very lively, everyone was chatting and laughing freely.

The second day after the old gentleman came to Pengcheng, he decided to go to the International Trade Center in Pengcheng.

Pengcheng International Trade Building is also a joint investment of Empire Group and Pengcheng.

Pengcheng unearthed land.

Imperial Group paid for it.

The Guomao Building is the pride of the people of Pengcheng. It stands tall and reaches into the sky. The builders of Pengcheng once set a record of "one floor per building in three days" here.

It has become a symbol of "Pengcheng Speed". Many people who come to Pengcheng always go to the top of the building to overlook the city.

On January 20, at 9:35 in the morning, the old man came to visit the Guomao Building. The female employees of the Guomao Building stood neatly on both sides, applauded and welcomed the old man and his party, and shouted in unison: "Hello, Grandpa!"

The old gentleman also waved to them happily and clapped.

Accompanied by Mr. Xie, Mr. Li, Yang Ming and others, the old man took the express elevator directly to the revolving sightseeing floor on the 53rd floor. This floor is a revolving floor.

No matter where you sit, you can have a bird's eye view of the east, west, south and north of Pengcheng. The interior is antique and the sky is clear outside. As the sightseeing floor rotates, the old man can overlook the entire city of Pengcheng.

The staff moved an armchair over and the old man sat facing the window. Mr. Li told the old man that in the direction of his finger, there were Renmin Road, Jianshe Road and Heping Road leading to the railway station. Looking further away, there was the Xiangjiang River, and a group of white high-rise buildings were floating in the mountains like clouds.

The old man was very happy to see the high-rise buildings standing in rows, a thriving scene, and he fully affirmed the achievements of Pengcheng in opening up.

The old man's thinking was very clear and his memory was extremely strong. He talked and laughed, and sometimes one or two humorous words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere of the conversation was relaxed and active.

During the conversation, the old man emphasized the need to do more practical things and talk less nonsense.

He pointed to a group of tall buildings outside the window and said, "Pengcheng has developed so fast because of hard work, not by speaking or writing."

Leaving the rotating sightseeing floor, we arrived at the lobby on the first floor. The musical fountain in the lobby sprayed water columns with various patterns along with the beautiful music, and the scene was spectacular.

. . .

The third day.

Accompanied by Yang Ming, Mr. Xie, Mr. Li, Mr. Zheng and others, the old man took a car to the Huaqiangbei Science and Technology Park in Pengcheng.

This science and technology park was actually established by Pengcheng after the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park in Yanjing and the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.

Nowadays, the old man and others came here to inspect and see many new start-up companies in the Huaqiangbei Science and Technology Park. Of course, some of them were invested by the Empire Group.

On the afternoon of the third day.

Accompanied by Yang Ming and others, the old man came to the Window of the World.

This Window of the World was also invested by the Empire Group and had nothing to do with the OCT in history.

And it was larger in scale.

Here you can see the world's attractions in miniature, and even the world's pedestrian street in miniature, which can help Pengcheng citizens better understand the outside world.

The old man and others visited and felt that the Window of the World, a tourist attraction that can open up the Chinese people, was really good.

Of course, if one day, this place is no longer needed, it can also be demolished and rebuilt into a new industrial park.

. . .

The fourth day.

Accompanied by Yang Ming and others, the old man left here and went to Dapeng Bay.

There is the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station, which is jointly invested by the Empire Group and the domestic.

Historically, this was a joint venture between the Kadoorie family of Hong Kong China Power and the domestic, but now it has long been replaced by the Hong Kong Electric Company under the Empire Group, and then the Asian Power Company was established, and the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station was jointly invested with the domestic. 80% of the electricity is supplied to Hong Kong, and 20% of the electricity is supplied to Guangdong Province. In recent years, the electricity from the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station has played a very important role in the economic development of the two places.
