383: Chapter 383: The Problems are Not Minor 383: Chapter 383: The Problems are Not Minor Soon, under Ji Yang’s leadership, the signing ceremony between Chunshui County and Chunshui Project Investnt Group took place without the arrival of any higher-level leaders.
The signing ceremony was quite low-key and didn’t attract much attention.
Even the higher-level leaders only knew that Ji Yang was undertaking this matter, but they didn’t take it seriously.
Ji Yang further realized that the superior leaders adopted an indifferent attitude towards his initiatives.
Ji Yang didn’t expect any help from the higher-ups; after the signing, the whole project was about to kick off.
The general manager for the investnt group was taken up by Qian Huifang, while several others served as deputy managers, each responsible for different areas.
The subsequent ti was a preparation phase.
Under Ji Yang’s command, various industries within the county were undergoing so consolidation.
Starting with Chunshui County Cent Factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy due to its lack of advanced technology and other issues, the investnt company made it their first acquisition.
They then updated so of the cent production equipnt and infused technology into the company.
As Qian Huifang said, “As long as Xincheng needs to be built, it can’t do without cent.
Now we need to ramp up production to prepare for the construction of Xincheng.”
Next, the investnt company started road construction, extending the roads from the old city to the mountain ridge earmarked for excavation.
Once that was breached, this road would play a vital role, with many materials able to be transported in through here.
The third action was to acquire a steel factory in the county, Chunshui Steel Factory.
This steel factory was in a similar state to the cent factory, barely surviving due to its outdated slting techniques.
However, through Qian Huifang’s investigation, they discovered there was an iron mine and abundant coal resources.
The steel for the new city could be supplied entirely from this factory.
Since no highly advanced technology was needed, it was quite easy for Qian Huifang and the team to introduce building-grade steel slting technology into the factory.
Qian Huifang and her team also found a high-quality stone resource in a place called Qingshi Village, so they invested funds and set up a stone factory there.
In the next step, stones could also be supplied from this location.
As ti passed day by day, the paramilitary construction team from Tiangui Province confird that the two mountains were suitable for construction after their survey and even signed a contract to take charge of the work.
What Ji Yang didn’t expect was that the paramilitary forces in South Dian Province remained silent, adopting a wait-and-see attitude towards this issue.
Later, Ji Yang learned from Zhou Chengqian that Tiangui Province had made it clear: the construction of the two tunnels was based on good will and wasn’t profit-making.
Indeed, without profit, the people from South Dian Province showed no intent to intervene.
It had to be said, the paramilitary engineering team was really excellent, rapidly setting up four construction teams to work from all four sides simultaneously.
According to the surveys, the mountain ridge near Chongming County was sixty ters thick, while the one near the old county town was forty-nine ters.
Based on the normal excavation progress of one ter a day, and since it was done from both sides, the daily advancent was two to three ters.
Factoring in paving and other processes, the estimated duration of the project was three months.
Zhou Chengqian, through his connections, also managed to get a road built from Tiangui Province leading from the tunnel entrance to the highway, with none of the costs falling on Qian Huifang and her team.
Everything was moving towards the anticipated goals, but Ji Yang was thinking about an important issue: many new cities quickly beco ghost towns after construction is completed.
Under normal circumstances, the new city he was working on might potentially evolve towards becoming a ghost town as well.
In this place, with no tourist resources or cultural content, one could say it lacked everything.
How could he make people want to live and develop here?
Ji Yang had been pondering this matter for a long ti without any good solutions.
In fact, it wasn’t just Ji Yang who saw this issue; many leaders from South Dian Province had noticed it too.
They refrained from intervening precisely because they considered this spot a potential pitfall likely to result in a failed project.
Qian Huifang and her team had put their trust and money in Ji Yang, and he didn’t want them to lose out because of him.
Still, without addressing this attraction issue, the place couldn’t prosper for long.
What to do?
Ji Yang felt it was a truly vexing problem.
Cao Songxin and the others had also noticed this issue, but since the investnt was sothing Ji Yang had pulled together, they saw no problems for themselves and simply observed as the proactive stance from the beginning began to ease off.
There had to be so appealing elents designed into the project.
Ji Yang spent every day considering how to break through the impasse.
By now, Ji Yang had walked almost every corner of the plateau several tis, yet he still hadn’t found a good solution.
