Chapter 14 Chapter 4 Zhongshan is romantic again

The wind in the South China Sea has pushed China's reform and opening up to the peak of history time and time again. We should still remember that the earliest initiative on the development of the eastern part of Zhongshan was at the beginning of the 21st century when the first ray of dawn filled Lingdingyang. When leaders such as Cui Guochao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Mayor Chen Genkai discussed strategic issues such as where Zhongshan would develop in the future, The concept of eastern development was put forward.Then at the end of 2001, Secretary Cui Guochao formally listened to the report of the "Research on the Development and Utilization of Eastern Zhongshan Coastal Areas" made by relevant departments for the first time. , Nanlang and other "one district and three towns" scope.After listening to the report, Secretary Cui Guochao clearly pointed out that Zhongshan's economic positioning is an industrial city.And set such a direction for the future development of the eastern part: the 70 square kilometers of reclamation land in the tidal flat west of Hengmenkou East Road will be a main direction for the future development of Zhongshan City!Moreover, when discussing the future development of Zhongshan, Secretary Cui Guochao and a group of municipal party committee members repeatedly believed that the development of the eastern part of Zhongshan is not only a strategic choice for Zhongshan's economic transition and social transformation, but also the only way to enhance Zhongshan's comprehensive ability in the competition with Zhuhai. .

At the end of 2002, when the party committee of the development zone formally reported the preliminary idea of ​​the eastern development to the municipal party committee and the municipal government, the wave of "eastern development" in the hearts of the two city leaders, Cui Guochao and Chen Genkai, was already extremely agitated.On February 9 of the following year, when the sea breeze in Lingdingyang in the southern country was still somewhat cold in early spring, Cui Guochao brought Wang Yuanming, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General, to the development zone. Accompanied by Su Sheng, put on a life jacket, took a speedboat along the Hengmen River Road, and conducted a field inspection of Ma'an Island and the reclamation land. The three leaders sometimes ride the wind and waves, give pointers to the country, sometimes kneel on the ground, lean over to look at the picture, sometimes talk earnestly, and sometimes look up to the sky and laugh...

"What was the total industrial output value of the development zone in 2002?" Cui Guochao asked Feng Shusheng while patting the water droplets splashed on his body on the tidal flat. "33.9 billion!" Feng Shusheng replied. "Okay. Once the Eastern Development Zone is completed and started, your total industrial output value here should be 100 billion! 150 billion! Or even 200 billion!" Cui Guochao patted Feng Shusheng's shoulder boldly, his heart fluttering. "Great! Old Feng, at that time you were the real half of Zhongshan!" Secretary-General Wang Yuanming, who was standing aside, said to Feng Shusheng quite excitedly.

"Secretary Cui and Standing Committee Member Wang, I think that as long as the municipal party committee and municipal government's eastern development awareness becomes a reality, not only can this place become half of Zhongshan's total economic output, but it should also be a new seaside city!" Feng Shusheng rolled his eyes Looking at the map, he said this to the two leaders of the municipal party committee with confidence. "Good point! The future city size of Zhongshan may be - the current central city is one piece, and your seaside new city is another piece. In this way, one middle school, one pair, inland seaside, and the two cities are connected. It is a real big Zhongshan. !"

"Secretary Cui's idea may be realized in less than 10 years!" Feng Shusheng, who was not easily excited, was also a little excited at the moment. "The development of the eastern region is really amazing! It's worth recording and publicizing!" Wang Yuanming was expressing his emotions passionately in the face of the Pearl River flowing eastward! Cui Guochao glanced at the young and energetic Secretary-General, smiled, and thought in his heart: He is suitable to be the Minister of Propaganda. (In fact, within a short period of time, Wang Yuanming, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, became the head of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, until he was in charge of promoting the new concept of "Xiangshan Culture" to the academic circles across the country, and it aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life. ,This is something.)

"Eastern development is related to the future of Zhongshan as a whole. We must plan from a high starting point, build with high standards, and attract investment at a high level. Especially in the initial stage of the start-up area, we must follow this principle!" "Yes!" Feng Shusheng replied on behalf of the Party Committee of the Development Zone. "The seaside development, mainly Ma'an Island, is the key to the development of the entire eastern part. Who do you plan to let take this responsibility?" Feng Shusheng blurted out, "I already have someone to choose..."

"Okay, then I don't care about this matter. The next step is to pay close attention to the planning of the eastern development. From now on, we must draw up a timetable for the eastern development work, so that every second counts!" Cui Guochao seemed to be talking to himself, and then Like a battle order. "yes!" After bidding farewell to Secretary Cui and Secretary Wang, Feng Shusheng returned to the headquarters of the development zone, picked up his mobile phone and dialed: "Hey, Suqin, come quickly..." Shen Suqin came upon the call. Feng Shusheng said to him: "The Municipal Party Committee has officially decided to open the battle for the eastern development. The construction of Linhai Industrial Park is the starting area. Now this area is managed by our construction and development company. The next step is to formally establish Linhai Industrial Park. Park, let you go to pick up this one."

"I've only been in the listed company for a year, and I've just straightened out that side, why have I been transferred?" Shen Suqin looked puzzled. Feng Shusheng said with a serious expression, "That's right, I'll transfer you! Go back and explain the matter of the listed company, and then report to the construction and development company." Shen Suqin's eyes widened: "So fast?" "Yes, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have decided that from now on, every second must be seized for the development of the eastern region."

"What? Are you leaving now?" When Shen Suqin returned to the listed company and said to several vice presidents, they were all dumbfounded and almost jumped up. "Mr. Shen, please tell the higher-ups that our listed company plays an important role in the development zone. A year after you came, our company has just had a new improvement. You can't just leave like this! We won't let you go!" Colleagues There was a yell. "No, no, that's not good. If you want to say it, I'll say it." Shen Suqin blocked his colleagues from the company's door, and went to Feng Shusheng's office by himself.

"Old leader, I still don't want to leave the listed company, please consider changing someone else to Linhai..." Shen Suqin pleaded. "That won't work, the things that have been set cannot be changed!" Feng Shusheng didn't give his veterans any leeway, but seriously asked Shen Suqin to sit down, and spent half a day explaining to him the strategic significance of the Eastern Development and Linhai Park . "I have been with Secretary Feng for many years. He talked to me the most on that day. Since then, I have strengthened my determination to work in Linhai. Indeed, I also feel that the development of Linhai is very important to the development of eastern Zhongshan. One person can work in such a great place. Do something in the development, and you will have no regrets in your life!" Shen Suqin said afterwards.

Eastern development has been placed on the agenda. In 2003, Mayor Chen Genkai delivered the "Government Work Report" at the Sixth Session of the Eleventh National People's Congress of Zhongshan City, clearly proposing to speed up the development and construction of the eastern coast.So far, the work focus of the entire Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has also begun to tilt towards "Eastern Development"... There are many clues, planning first-this task is entrusted to the famous Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning and Design Institute to complete. And the most important and basic premise of all development projects is: money!The problem of money affects the possibility and reality of the development of the entire east! Do you have money?There is indeed some money in the development zone, but it is far from enough. A rough calculation of the infrastructure construction of the eastern development area near the sea costs 3.8 billion yuan!The start-up cost is no less than one billion yuan! If you have no money, borrow it first!Borrow from the bank. But bank money is not so easy to borrow.You have to have a series of procedures and conditions that meet their requirements. Simply put, you have to produce a loan feasibility report. "Xiao Zhao, you can put other things aside now, concentrate all your energy, and do the "Report" for me. You must give me a report on the feasibility of the loan before March!" Feng Shusheng said to his office. Director Zhao Yunqing ordered. "His words made me suffer!" Xiao Zhao recalled, "For this loan "report", I worked day and night for nearly half a year. In March 2003, the Guangzhou Branch of the China Development Bank Four people came to review our "Feasibility Study Report of Linhai Industrial Park Construction Project". This review process was more intense than when I took the university entrance examination. In that week, I took my computer, ate and lived in a hotel, and they asked questions at any time. I All questions must be answered on the spot. The People’s Bank has to verify whether our reports are in line with the actual situation one by one, and my task is to answer any questions they raise satisfactorily..." In April, the government signed the bank. In May, the Development Bank sent the money to Zhongshan. As a result, the infrastructure construction of Linhai Industrial Park kicked off in an all-round way—first, the passage to the new development zone in the east—the East Ring Road (southern section) was completed.Then, the land within the planned area of ​​40 square kilometers will be collected uniformly... "Linhai Industrial Park is a tidal flat reclamation land with Ma'an Island as the main body. It is along the coast and along the river. It is a rare place in the Pearl River Estuary that is directly related to the geomantic omen and economic lifeline of Zhongshan's future. It is suitable for large-scale industries and large ports. , large-scale logistics, large-scale, large-scale development. The municipal party committee and the municipal government consider the adjustment of Zhongshan’s existing industrial structure and the space for future development, and decide on the eastern development strategy, which will improve Zhongshan’s urban space, enhance urban competitiveness, and build a regional The central city is of great significance. Externally, the launch of the eastern development strategy is bound to have an impact on promoting the formation of the Guangzhou-Hong Kong Economic Corridor and the pattern integration of the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration. The construction of the Linhai Industrial Park is the key to the development of the entire eastern region. The leader of development is also our participation in the new round of industrial competition in the Pearl River Delta. "Strive for the upper reaches" is a unique way to extend the industrial chain, increase added value, secure large enterprises, and gather high-tech industries! It can also be said that Linhai development is our eastern It is imperative to develop the first step strategy!" When Feng Shusheng answered the reporter, his words were resounding. The advantages of Linhai are too attractive!It is adjacent to the Pearl River Estuary in the east, across the water from Guangzhou Nansha Development Zone in the north, Hengmen West Waterway in the west, and Qi'ao Island in Zhuhai in the south.The vast and flat tidal flat reclamation land is an excellent place to develop an industrial zone...a heaven-sent treasure, for the people in the development zone, if they do not do well, their lives will be in vain! "The first thing Linhai Development Zone needs to do is to integrate land resources. Don't look at the flattening of the reclamation land, but there are many problems left over from history. The first problem we encountered was that we had to talk to the 'landlords' endlessly. Let's bargain!" The "landlord" mentioned by Shen Suqin is the owner of the land on the tidal flat near the sea. How many "landlords" there are in the Linhai Development Zone? At first, even the people in the development zone couldn't figure it out. Anyway, it was extremely complicated.Some are local farmers, some are provincial units, and some are troops.When dealing with farmers, after requisitioning the land, they need to arrange their living, production and future survival; when dealing with units, money is of course the most important thing.But some units don't care about the amount of money, but they care that they don't want to sell such a treasured land of geomantic omen. "Since Linhai is going to become a promising industrial park, in a few years, the land price here will increase many times. Well, don't you want my land in the development zone? I'll offer you a sky-high price, do you want it?" Some The person chuckled. So round after round of negotiations, time after time of hard work, finally the leaders of Zhongshan City and the comrades of Zhongshan Development Zone moved others with their sincerity and resolved one problem after another... For the infrastructure developed in the east alone, hundreds of millions or even tens of millions have been invested. For what?The purpose is to get people to invest and start businesses.Therefore, attracting investment while developing is the most thought-provoking thing in the development zone.The size and number of projects determine the success or failure of the development zone.Attracting investment is not something that people will come if you want them to come. It takes more patience and endurance.When I interviewed Secretary Feng Shusheng that day, I knew the efforts made by Zhongshan people in attracting investment. Interview at 11 o'clock, Secretary Zhong Feng will go to Guangzhou to fly to Thailand at 3 o'clock. "It's not a big investment project. But if someone has sincerity and wants to invest in us, we must show more sincerity to see him." Feng Shusheng explained as if he felt sorry for me. During the interview, I learned that the boss of an investment project was seriously ill and was living in Beijing 301 Hospital.After Secretary Cui found out, he insisted on going to visit in person, but at that time a leader was going to Zhongshan to inspect the work, so Secretary Cui had to ask Secretary Feng Shusheng to go to Beijing to visit the boss on his behalf.Secretary Feng was also very busy in the development zone at that time.So he didn't bother to change into some cleaner clothes and went straight to the airport.After going to the hospital to visit the boss, he immediately turned back to the airport and rushed back to Zhongshan to host an important meeting in the development zone.Later I heard that the boss who was hospitalized was very moved, saying that Zhongshan people are real, so my project will be placed in Zhongshan! Guodian Group intends to build a gas-fired power plant in Linhai, with a total investment of more than 7.5 billion yuan. After the completion of the power plant, the annual operating income will be 3.4 billion yuan, and the annual tax revenue will be about 400 million yuan.When Secretary Cui heard about such a big project, he ordered his subordinates: "As soon as the leader of Guodian arrives in Zhongshan, he must notify me immediately!"Mayor Chen was holding the National People's Congress in Beijing, and when he squeezed out an hour or two of free time, he went to visit the leaders of Guodian, and sent Zhongshan people's sincerity... "There are too many such things, it's not surprising." Secretary Cui Guochao said to me with a big smile, "Investment attraction is the top priority of the development zone, and merchants are God..." A park manager in a development zone said: "I have never been so kind to my own parents, but to the merchants, I have to do everything perfectly and wholeheartedly every time." Perhaps it is because of the attractive geographical advantages and planning prospects of Zhongshan's Linhai Industrial Park, or perhaps because of the enthusiasm and sincerity of Zhongshan people. The horn of eastern development has just sounded, and the good news from various recruiters is encouraging. At the end of 2004, there was another big event in the Linhai Industrial Park that made everyone in the development zone excited. The Ministry of Science and Technology officially approved Linhai Industrial Park as the equipment manufacturing industry base of the National Torch Program.So far, the Zhongshan Torch National Brand Base has changed from the original "five golden flowers" to the "six diamonds".As a national equipment manufacturing industrial base, Linhai Park has an even more unusual significance.Because the Linhai Park has a 10,000-ton seaport terminal under construction, and the Nansha Development Zone next to Guangzhou in the north.It is known that the Nansha Development Zone in Guangzhou has introduced several large-scale manufacturing enterprises such as large steel mills, large shipyards, and Toyota Motor. These manufacturing enterprises are bound to find corresponding supporting manufacturers in the surrounding area.Linhai Park is the closest to it, and now it has been awarded the equipment manufacturing industry base by the state. Its industrial chain advantages and incomparable geographical location will undoubtedly become the first choice for many large-scale manufacturing enterprises in Nansha Development Zone, Guangzhou.Such a bright prospect really makes Zhongshan people very happy. "What? Foreign-funded enterprises in Singapore are not allowed! The industrial allocation of the Linhai Industrial Park is related to the prospects of the entire eastern industrial structure, and some enterprises that do not meet the high-tech industries cannot be allowed to enter casually. This is a principle! Mayor Chen's opinion is the same as mine. You must immediately abandon such investment projects. At the same time, you must re-plan the industrial allocation of the entire Linhai Industrial Park, and the municipal party committee and I will listen to your report!" One day, the comrades in the Linhai Industrial Park were preparing for the successful introduction of another foreign investment project. While celebrating, Cui Guochao, secretary of the municipal party committee, gave them a cold bucket of cold water. "It's a pity to give up such a good and big project!" Those comrades in the development zone who had lost their legs for the introduction of the project were greatly puzzled by this, and even a little discouraged. "The opinions of Secretary Cui and Mayor Chen are very important. From the perspective of attracting investment, it is indeed a pity that Singapore's exquisite and special-purpose shoe factory project should be abandoned. They want to buy our 1,000 mu of land, and more than 10,000 people will be employed in the future. They can turn over 3,000 yuan to us every year. The property rent is more than 10,000 yuan...but the vision of the city leaders is farther and deeper than ours. Linhai Park is a unique treasure land, and the future development space of Zhongshan needs to be expanded. In the new round of competition, industrial advantages Competition is the key and fundamental. Others are pursuing new industrial directions and adjusting the original industrial structure. If we are still cloning the industrial categories of the existing development zones and clinging to the traditional processing industry, not only will there be no future at all, Moreover, it will reduce the level of damage to the development of Linhai Park and even the entire eastern part, and lose its competitive advantage, with extremely harmful consequences.” On the basis of further improving the understanding of the development strategy of Linhai Industrial Park, the people in the development zone made new arrangements for investment promotion and planning. Only after that came the "heavy emphasis on the seaside - to seize the commanding heights of the upstream industry, with the support of the four major industries of energy, heavy chemical industry, equipment manufacturing and modern logistics industry, to create a moderate heavy chemical industry and logistics platform; the high area is high - Torch The high-tech development zone is centered on the new science and technology city, with electronics, high-tech, biopharmaceuticals, packaging and technology transformation as five major bases, consolidating the high-tech industry platform; In the southern part of the east, it will highlight three districts and five parks, and build a pillar industry platform around five major parks, including auto parts industry, modern packaging industry, pharmaceutical preparation and decoction pieces industry, and applied electronics industry.In this way, the industrial pattern of the southern area is formed, which is heavy on the front and light on the back, gradient layout, interdependence, dislocation configuration, and cluster development.So as to realize the strategic re-arrangement of "port-driven, three-zone interaction, and logistics linkage effect". In 2005, the development work in the eastern part was surging like a rushing river.On March 1, just after the Spring Festival, the first enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Zhongshan Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China this year was held in the Torch Development Zone to study the issues of eastern development.At the beginning of the meeting, Cui Guochao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, delivered a speech that shocked the participants. …From the analysis of the current competitive situation and the future development trend of Zhongshan, we believe that the development of the eastern coastal area should not be simply understood as alleviating the land shortage problem in the Torch Development Zone, but is related to the overall development of Zhongshan and the future development trend A question of strategic choice.On this issue, first of all, we must unify our thinking at the level of the municipal party and government, reach a consensus, and clarify our thinking, so as to accelerate this strategic adjustment. In the new round of competition and integration in the Pearl River Delta, if we don't seize the opportunity and seek new breakthroughs, we will definitely fall behind, and even risk being completely marginalized! To solve the above problems, focus on one point, which is to build a center that radiates the whole city and leads the gradient development of the city's economy as soon as possible, and establish a new growth point for sustainable development.This is also the internal logic of our city's economic development and industrial restructuring.Develop the eastern coastal area, coordinate the development of the eastern region, enable them to cooperate in industrial structure adjustment, spatial structure transformation, infrastructure improvement and ecological environment optimization, expand the space for urban development, and build the eastern coastal area into Zhongshan's future vice city. This is the only way for our city to integrate into the new round of cooperation and competition in the Pearl River Delta and enhance the city's comprehensive competitiveness. Therefore, it can be said that Zhongshan's future hope lies in the east! The speech of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee opened up steps for leaders to understand, re-understand, and sublimate the development of the east... The huge development of the east has an unprecedented impact and impact on Zhongshan.It is normal to have some cognitive and practical problems. For example, the development idea of ​​Linhai Industrial Park mentioned above, because it is the leader of the eastern development and the support and driving point of the city's economic structure adjustment, it must achieve high development standards and accurate industrial positioning, correct and scientific It is particularly important to properly handle the contradiction between "development and protection".Because the planned Linhai Industrial Park will be integrated with the East Binhai New City in Zhongshan in the future, it is an industrial park in the city. Its planning and layout must meet the requirements of the entire new city in terms of space, functions, and residents’ lives. . Another controversial issue is the construction of deep-water ports.The key point of eastern development is that there is a port adjacent to the river and the sea in the east.The fast-growing cities in the Pearl River Delta rely on large ports without exception.The first condition for the development of eastern Zhongshan is to build a large port here.However, there are many controversies surrounding the construction of a deep-water port in Zhongshan.One is whether there is a problem of redundant construction. The reason is that there are already many large ports along the Pearl River Delta, and there is no need to expand more large deep-water ports.In fact, this view is very one-sided. The construction and existence of the Zhongshan Deepwater Port are both necessary and necessary from the perspective of history and practical needs. This is not only the need for the development of Zhongshan itself, but also It is also an important link for the entire Pearl River Delta to participate in the new round of domestic and international economies.The second question is the objective conditions for Zhongshan to build a deep-water port.In the past 30 years of development of the Pearl River Delta, there is an obvious phenomenon that the east bank of the Pearl River develops faster than the west bank. What is the reason?One of the reasons is that the east coast is more suitable for building ports. The view that "the estuary in the west of Lingdingyang is sandy and the silt is strong" has always been a controversial issue in the engineering field.Many people also take Zhuhai Jiuzhou Port as an example.In fact, the main problem of the failure of Jiuzhou Port is that the port area is perpendicular to the water flow, and the sediment cannot be dredged.Is this the case in the Zhongshan port area? "No, we have tested and demonstrated by various parties. The result is that the Zhongshan Port area is in the same direction as the water flow, which is very beneficial to channel dredging. The sediment back-silting problem that some people worry about is actually not the only factor that determines whether the port can be built. Many sandy estuaries in my country, such as Tianjin Port and Shanghai Port, have a large amount of silting. In addition, the natural conditions of Nansha Port in Guangzhou are far less good than our Zhongshan Port, but a large port has been built there. Therefore, the expansion of Zhongshan Port From the perspective of technology and natural conditions, there is no question of infeasibility.” Hu Jun, vice president of Linhai Industrial Park and an in-service doctoral student majoring in ports, answered questions about whether Zhongshan can build The problem of deep water ports. "The construction of a deep-water port in Zhongshan is the wish of several generations. Mr. Sun Yat-sen mentioned it in the "Strategy for the Founding of the Country" when he was alive, and Mr. Tang Shaoyi, a native of Zhongshan, had made effective practices and attempts. At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, in the 20s Over the years, several leaders of Zhongshan City have worked hard for this. It can also be said that this is what Zhongshan people dream about. In the past, I was in charge of attracting investment, traveled all over the world, and often dealt with large foreign companies. During the period, A prominent impression is: whether you have a big port is directly related to the result of attracting investment. This kind of experience is too profound..." Hu Jun said, so he applied for the in-service doctoral student of Hohai University last year. "The Zhongshan Deep-water Port must be built. This is all my wish for a doctoral degree!" The enthusiasm of the young people is touching. Hu Jun is not the only one who is dedicated to Zhongshan Port! In the "Torch Urban Construction" office building, I met Mr. Wu Ruijia, an old planning designer who was immersed in the "sea of ​​pictures", former director of the City Planning Bureau and a retired senior engineer known as "the first person in planning and design in Zhongshan". Wu Gong, 68, has been retired for many years, but he has never left his job. After he came to Zhongshan from a technical unit in Chongqing in 1985, he participated in almost all the important planning and design projects of Zhongshan City Construction. A piece of green space is full of emotion. "When designing a city, you must consider the principle of people-oriented. What kind of city you build, you have to have the idea that you are the master of the city. With the idea that you are the master of the city, all your design ideas and behaviors will consider construction. Only when all the problems of optimizing the living and working environment are suitable for people can there be scientific, reasonable, comfortable, beautiful and other elements. Zhongshan implements the eastern development and builds a new coastal city. The deep-water port is the key. Whether Zhongshan can rise again, Zhongshan The overall view of the deep-water port affects the overall situation. Therefore, I think there is nothing worth hesitating about the construction of the Zhongshan deep-water port! I would like to use my old bones to contribute to its birth..." Wu Ruijia said He talked to me non-stop for nearly 3 hours. He is a passionate old technical expert.For the future of Zhongshan, he spends more than ten hours or even more than 20 hours a day drawing at his desk.In order to plan the development zone of the southern part of the east, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Nanlang on Sundays and holidays. Hu Jun, Wu Rui's family... and Sun Haotian, Shen Suqin, etc., the comrades I interviewed who are fighting on the front line of eastern development, with their blood, sweat and wisdom, they are painting the best and most beautiful picture for the future of Zhongshan. After entering 2005, the development of the east is like a flying arrow from a bow. Every day, a big event is happening here——On May 17, more than 30 researchers from Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning and Design Institute and Zhongshan City Planning and Design Institute The "Overall Planning Map of the Eastern Coastal Area of ​​Zhongshan City" compiled by the staff for one year was released.Secretary Cui Guochao, Mayor Chen Genkai and other leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attended the meeting. On May 25, the Eastern Development and Construction Headquarters was formally established.Mayor Chen Genkai served as the commander-in-chief, Feng Shusheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Torch Development Zone, served as the executive deputy commander-in-chief, executive deputy mayor Deng Xiaobing, and deputy mayor Feng Yurong served as the deputy commander-in-chief.A dedicated office is set up to perform daily work. On June 9, the headquarters held its first meeting in the Torch Development Zone, marking the official start of the work of the Eastern Office. On July 15, the first working meeting of the Eastern Development and Construction Headquarters was held.Mayor Chen Genkai emphasized to the members of the headquarters and the coordinating units: "All levels and departments of the city must understand the development of the east from the perspective of the overall situation, maintain the same ideological line with the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and fully cooperate in actions to jointly promote development. Various tasks for the development of the eastern group. The headquarters is the daily operation organization that implements the various strategic assumptions of the leaders and promotes the development and construction of the eastern region. It can be said that the overall planning ability, operational efficiency, and coordination level of the headquarters are crucial to the development of the eastern region. The role of the headquarters. The functions of the headquarters can be summed up in eight words: implementation, coordination, advancement, and management... The development of the eastern region is of great significance and the task is arduous. We must do a good job in all tasks of the headquarters and play the role of a battle fortress to promote the development of the eastern region. Make unremitting efforts to develop strategies and promote our city to build a demonstration city of coordinated economic and social development in the whole province!" On September 9, the Eastern Coastal Area Planning Working Group held its inaugural meeting and first working meeting in the Torch Development Zone. On November 4, the scientific research results report meeting for the second phase expansion route selection plan of Zhongshan Port was held.Cui Guochao, Chen Genkai and other leaders attended. From December 20th to 21st, Huang Huahua, Governor of Guangdong Province, inspected the construction site of Linhai Equipment Manufacturing Base in Zhongshan Torch Development Zone. And this year, there are still many bright spots around the development of the east.Among them, integrating the resources of "three towns and one district" is an important link.The so-called "Area One", that is, the current situation and future of the Torch Development Zone, has been clearly outlined. Among the "three towns", Sanjiao Town's original industries are mainly electronics, chemical industry, and light industry, mainly including the two industrial parks of Gaoping and Jinli.The re-planned Sanjiao Town will develop industries such as dyeing and finishing, printing and dyeing, and tanning in the near future, and high-value-added and high-tech non-polluting industries in the long-term; Jinli Industrial Zone will mainly develop industries such as clothing, food, and packaging.In Minmin Town, the existing and planned industrial zones mainly include Shazai Industrial Park, Chengnan Industrial Park, First Industrial Park, Yuanfa Industrial Park and Yanjiang Industrial Park.Shazai Industrial Zone will develop light industries such as textiles in the near future, and will develop downstream industries such as petrochemicals and warehousing in the long run.The original industrial zone develops decorative materials and woolen plastic industries.The first industrial zone develops industries mainly including furniture, lamps, molds and lighting decorations. Nanlang, an important town in the east, is the hometown of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. It has a long history, outstanding people, and beautiful mountains and rivers. It is a rare treasure in the southern country.More than 5,000 years ago, human beings lived and multiplied here, and it is the main birthplace of Xiangshan culture.In addition to Sun Yat-sen, it is also the hometown of celebrities such as Wang Yunwu, the inventor of the familiar four-corner number dictionary, Ruan Lingyu, a generation of artist, and Fang Cheng, a famous cartoonist.How to build and develop this famous hometown and beautiful natural scenery has become a focus of the eastern development. Zhou Xiaochuan, the current Secretary of the Party Committee of Nanlang Town, when he was interviewed by reporters, he could not restrain his inner feelings for his hometown and the development of the east. The water is clear in the chest, and the emotion is strong.Nanlang should take advantage of the development of the east, make full use of its advantages in resources, environment, geography, and people, establish new ideas and establish new industries.Building "Green Nanlang", "Cultural Nanlang", "Historical and Humanistic Nanlang", "Tourism Nanlang" and "Ecological Agriculture Nanlang" is our positioning. Since Nanlang has such rich natural and human resource advantages that are completely different from those of coastal land, its development direction will also be different.The development of Nanlang affects the hearts of leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.So on the last day of the year——December 31, 2005, the Municipal Party Committee issued the "Zhongweiban [2005] No. 62 Document", which forwarded the Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee's "About Torch Development Zone and Nanlang Town Resource Integration Implementation Opinions on Several Management Issues.The document clarified several important decisions related to the future fate and status of Nanlang: first, to become a trusteeship unit of the Torch Development Zone, and at the same time have independent township administrative power; First, the personnel system management enjoys the special policy of the development zone; fourth, all resources will be coordinated and planned with the Torch Development Zone. Nanlang therefore became a special zone in the "special zone".The "Southeast Green Industrial Park" developed in Nanlang in the first phase is a demonstration industrial park developed in the southern area of ​​eastern Zhongshan, and it is also a representative work of "suitable for starting a business and suitable for living".Based on the existing cultural resources of Cuiheng, the "Cultural Industry Park" that gathers the historical and humanistic park, the eco-tourism park and the film and television culture park will make the popularity of Sun Yat-sen's hometown and the culture of Xiangshan and overseas Chinese globalized. to industrialization. Undoubtedly, in 2005, the development and investment attraction of Linhai Industrial Park was the most eye-catching aspect of eastern development.The 35-kilometer-long road around the island and the river has been completed, the 21-kilometer cement road is all smooth, tens of thousands of acres of land have been "three links and one leveling", a bridge connecting the inside and outside of the island is rising, and the inner lakes and valleys have been filled... Among them, what developers often talk about is the good idea of ​​Mayor Chen Genkai when regulating the river in tidal flats, which not only successfully solved the problem of old bridges and bridges, but also created more than 3,600 acres of industrial land. land. "The land in Linhai Park is too valuable. Mayor Chen's idea created an additional 3,600 mu of industrial land, which means that we have earned hundreds of millions! Therefore, we have a great responsibility to develop every detail of Linhai scientifically and rationally!" Shen Suqin said What happened last summer.When the backbone road network of Linhai Industrial Park was in full swing, bridges were to be built between several rivers in the park, but building bridges between rivers required not only application for approval from the relevant provincial departments, but also a large construction project. The construction period is long, and the construction investment is large. After the completion, it will only play the traffic function between the parks.With the construction of the park, the inland rivers, which were mainly used for tidal flat irrigation in the past, are actually of little significance.While the comrades in Linhai Industrial Park were worrying about this matter, Mayor Chen Genkai came to work at the extremely simple construction headquarters of Linhai Industrial Park at noon on a high temperature. Given the status quo, make a decisive decision: fill in the river!His decision has therefore brought huge benefits to the Linhai Industrial Zone. On the first day of the interview in the development zone, I watched a documentary filmed by the development zone TV station called "A Day by the Sea".In that clip, I saw that Shen Suqin and the others fought in the muddy and sweaty banks of the Pearl River every day in order to remediate the tidal land in the past year. They were farmers, fishermen, and rescue commandos at any time. In August, a typhoon hit the island, and the floods submerged several construction sites that were under construction and sand blasting. Not to mention Shen Suqin, even Feng Shusheng, Xie Lijian and other leaders and staff of the development zone were all mobilized and fought hard all night. The comrades in the development zone still remember the love and scene. "Our hardships are worth it, because every step forward in the development of the park, the subsequent investment promotion can go up three steps..." When Shen Suqin was interviewed in the office, from time to time, a staff member reported to him that batches of new investors came. negotiate.It made me hate to bother him more. "You can take a look at this material." Shen Suqin asked his assistant to hand me a list of confirmed investment projects in Linhai. The investment list is several pages long, and I cannot record them all.However, it can be seen from the above several famous enterprises and the amount of investment that the just-started Zhongshan Eastern Development has produced a great investment effect at home and abroad!In just over a year, the eastern development has attracted more than 16 billion yuan in investment projects for the Linhai Industrial Park! If 2005 was the year when the development of the eastern part of Zhongshan was fully launched, then after entering 2006 it will be the "speed-up year" for the development of the eastern part. At the beginning of the new year, the "Basic Conception on the Development of the East (One Road and Eight Gardens)" was released, which means that the strategic concept for the development of the East has been formed. "One Road" refers to the purpose of driving the port, promoting the city, and linking multiple parks. It can connect the scattered and blocky industrial parks in the east into one express car trunk line, with a total length of about 50 kilometers and a total investment of 4.2 billion. Another major infrastructure strategy. "Eight Parks" refers to the eight major industrial parks of auto parts, chemical industry, hardware, petrochemical, cultural, Daquan, Linhai, and Torch, which have been reorganized and arranged in the east.The "eight gardens" plus the existing enterprises in the original three towns will realize an annual industrial output value of 185 billion yuan by 2010. In 2010, it is only the time in front of us. 185 billion yuan, the real "half of the country" of Zhongshan!And this is only the industrial output value effect in the initial stage of eastern development. The prospect of eastern development is infinitely good! Therefore, the concept of "rebuilding a Zhongshan" seems to be no longer a dream of Zhongshan. The new Zhongshan will be a beautiful coastal city in people's tomorrow... The east wind is mighty, and the drums of war are rushing. 2006 eastern development event log: On January 9, the annual summary meeting of the eastern development work was held in Nanlang.An eastern group website leading to the outside world was officially launched.The website includes rich content such as an overview of the east, planning of the east, gathering the east, industries in the east, investing in the east, living in the east, and one district and three towns. February 5th, the first working day after the Spring Festival.Secretary Cui Guochao of the Municipal Party Committee, Yu Rongwei, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Feng Shusheng, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Development Zone, and Deng Xiaobing, Executive Deputy Mayor, came to Linhai Industrial Park for on-site investigation.It can be seen that the development of the east is important in the minds of city leaders. On February 21, Li Yixian, director of the Singapore International Enterprise Development Bureau, led 10 representatives of Singaporean international companies to Zhongshan. These Singaporean entrepreneurs have a strong interest in investing in the east of Zhongshan. On March 1, following the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee held in the development zone on the same day last year, this year's enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was held in the development zone again.Secretary Cui Guochao delivered many important speeches at the meeting. He pointed out: If last year's Standing Committee unified thinking and understanding, then this year's meeting is mainly to study how to accelerate the development of the eastern region.Practice over the past year has proved that the decision to develop the eastern region is correct.Now that the eastern development battlefield has all begun, it is necessary to establish the awareness of the greater eastern region, take the eastern group as an organic whole, and implement joint development, full development, and overall development.We must persist in rational development and improve the benefits of eastern development.It is necessary to adhere to the scientific development concept and the development principle of people-oriented, so that the development of the entire eastern part can be accelerated along the correct direction. On March 28, the Zhongshan Investment Promotion Economic and Trade Fair, which has persisted for many years, was held in full swing, with a new investment of 654 million US dollars.The investment attraction this time is different from the past in that it presents the characteristics of large investment in advantageous industries, high technological content, and many new projects. From June 5th to 9th, the Municipal Party Committee once again held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, with the theme still centered on the development of the eastern region. During the 5-day meeting, the representatives visited Heyuan, Huizhou, Guangzhou, Zhuhai and other surrounding cities and the eastern part of Zhongshan in the first 3 days, followed by two days of analysis and discussion.Secretary Cui Guochao delivered another important speech at the meeting. He said: Regarding the development of the eastern part, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has held three theme meetings. Why?Because correctly judging and analyzing the situation is the basis of decision-making and the key to successful development.Cui Guochao contacted and led the leaders of relevant municipal departments to visit 6 cities in 5 days in mid-May. He said emotionally that the rapid development of the Shandong coast and the Yangtze River Delta, especially the generous and bold urban construction and urban development, I was shocked.For example, Rizhao, a city that is much smaller and weaker than Zhongshan in terms of area and economic strength, they dare to invest billions to build an Olympic water park with a total area of ​​9.2 million square meters!Weihai is also a small city, but they are using the coastline to build a "happy coast" comparable to Australia. The 4.8 billion yuan investment in port expansion and 8 billion urban construction and renovation projects are also underway; Hangzhou and Shanghai, not to mention their development. Momentum, I really don’t know if I don’t see it, I’m startled when I see it!If Zhongshan doesn't catch up, he will really fall behind.When Cui Guochao said this, he said very excitedly: "I'm already being polite when I say this!" The secretary of the municipal party committee changed the subject, and his voice doubled, "Look at our surrounding cities, the same momentum of development is also strong... I once said However, if the backwardness in the past is a temporary backwardness, then the backwardness in the future will be a permanent backwardness!" The sobriety of those in power is the joy of the people! "Recently, I have been thinking about a problem: the biggest problem in Zhongshan at present is that it has not yet formed a development platform that can support future competition, cope with the two major transformations of the economy and society, and carry the construction of 'two suitable' cities..." "Whether Zhongshan can find a new breakthrough and compete with others depends on whether it can build a new platform that can support long-term development!" "Only the east has the conditions to build such a development platform!" "The only thing that can compete with the surrounding cities is the east!" The east, let the secretary of the municipal party committee dream about it. East, let the mayor work hard. In the east, let Zhongshan people look forward to it. On June 21, Cui Guochao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, presided over the "City Briefing" meeting of the leaders of the original four sets of teams.It has always been the traditional practice of Cui Guochao, Chen Genkai and other city leaders to let experienced veteran cadres and leaders understand and participate in the eastern development.At the meeting, the veteran cadres talked freely about their opinions and made suggestions on the eastern part. The atmosphere was warm and sincere, and the harvest was very fruitful.Afterwards, a summer symposium for leaders of the democratic parties was held to report the progress of the eastern development. On June 30th, Secretary Cui Guochao, Deputy Secretary Li Qihong, and Standing Committee member Feng Shusheng came to Nanlang Town as ordinary party members to participate in the "Consolidating the Party's Advanced Education Achievements and Promoting Social Party Day activities with the theme of "New Countryside of Socialism".The representatives of the village party members and the leaders of the municipal party committee discussed the development and construction of the new countryside in the eastern part of the country. The scene was touching. On July 6, a seminar on the industrial development of the eastern group of Zhongshan City was held.Secretary Cui Guochao's tone became quite exciting: "The eastern part can definitely become a new platform for Zhongshan's future development. We imagine that after 5 to 8 years of hard work, the eastern part can completely recreate the current Zhongshan!" On July 12, Zhang Dejiang, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, visited Zhongshan. After inspecting the development zone on site and listening to reports from the Municipal Party Committee and the Torch Development Zone, he made an important speech.Comrade Zhang Dejiang's speech inspired Zhongshan people.He said that Zhongshan City has "basically built a demonstration city for coordinated economic and social development in the whole province".This evaluation contains too much gold!Let Zhongshan people feel proud.Comrade Zhang Dejiang praised the development of eastern Zhongshan and the progress it has made. In late July, the author interviewed Eastern Development in Zhongshan.On the night of arriving in Zhongshan, Secretary Cui Guochao, dressed in casual clothes, had a long talk with me for several hours at the dinner table.He said that "the main body of a city is the people who live here, and people are the driving force of this city. Therefore, when building a city, we must first consider making the people who live here feel comfortable. There are several levels of comfort: "Cultural, Life, business, and natural environment", "The uniqueness of Zhongshan's development lies in our continuous learning", "As a city's decision-maker, we must grasp the 'degree' of the city's development", "The work of a place requires long-term thinking, and short-term actions must not be done well.The work of a cadre depends on whether he has made a contribution to long-term development", "government for the people, interests downward, and only then can one be truly rich", etc., which are convincing and admirable. When it comes to the development of the east, Secretary Cui is even more It is impossible to stop: "The development of the east is the hope of Zhongshan. "My working method is to get a good pulse first, and then prescribe a prescription." "I have been a secretary for 11 years, but I am still a recruit."Because today's world is changing too fast, and new things are emerging one after another.The same problem is constantly changing.Therefore, I encourage cadres and myself to be diligent and diligent, otherwise we will fall behind. "The development of the eastern part of Zhongshan is for Zhongshan not to fall behind in 10 years and 100 years..." August 28 was the most grand and lively day in the history of Eastern Development.At the site of Linhai Industrial Park, the leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, representatives of the "one district and three towns" in the east and the towns of the whole city, and thousands of Chinese and foreign investors held the "Zhongshan Eastern Group Eight Industrial Park Investment Promotion Conference and Linhai Industrial Park" Commencement Celebration".At the ceremony, 100 projects with a total investment of 10 billion yuan laid the foundation stone together!The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and laughter, surrounded by the turbulent waves of the Pearl River, was like an earth-shattering battle movement, shaking both sides of the Pearl River and echoing on the coast of the South China Sea... Oh, Zhongshan, you are romantic again, brilliant again, and rising again.You forge ahead in self-comparison and catching up with others, you pursue harmony in development and creation, and you pursue rationality and perfection in progress and thinking.This is exactly Sun Yat-sen's character and the essence of Zhongshan people. The east is rising, the south is flourishing, and China is shining!
