Chapter 460 Human effort can make all the difference! Zhao Lichun's determination to improve!
afternoon.
Jingzhou International Airport.
The business jet roared and accelerated on the runway, quickly taking off.
As the private jet disappeared into the blue sky, Xiang Yuliang turned around with his hands behind his back.
Looking at Zhao Lichun standing to his side and behind him, Xiang Yuliang couldn't help but laugh.
"Next month, you can stand next to me!"
These words are naturally quite profound.
It's practically a no-brainer that Zhao Lichun wants to take another step forward next month.
Zhao Lichun is not even sixty years old this year.
It's not impossible to go even further in the future.
but……
Zhao Lichun was not overjoyed or carried away with happiness.
A faint smile played at the corners of her lips.
This progress doesn't seem to warrant ecstatic celebration or boasting.
Beneath his calm and composed expression, he was naturally filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Those who work within the system know how difficult it is to make progress.
The pyramid-shaped system becomes increasingly difficult as you climb higher.
Zhao Lichun could hardly estimate how much effort he and his son Zhao Ruilong had put in to take this step.
Especially his son, Zhao Ruilong, went from proposing the development of a high-quality economy to helping him defeat Liang Qunfeng, whom Ge Junshan and Zhong Zhengguo were planning to promote, to investing heavily to boost the economy of Handong, promote industrial restructuring, and propose deepening institutional reforms...
Over the past two years, Zhao Lichun estimates that even his son, Zhao Ruilong, has lost count of how much Huilong Group has spent on supporting the economic development of Handong, improving infrastructure, and funding education.
As for how much work he has done and how much effort he has put in in areas such as anti-corruption, organizational restructuring, deepening reforms, and supporting key industries, Zhao Lichun himself can't remember exactly how many days and nights he has spent working on it.
In short.
Zhao Lichun believes that this promotion is entirely well-deserved.
They put in so much effort and achieved tangible results.
Such progress was naturally within expectations.
So there's no need to get excited or overjoyed.
But a little excitement is to be expected.
After all, this progress is truly significant.
Aside from the promotion in rank, the most important significance was that it brought greater power.
While regional governors may indeed hold high positions and wield considerable power, they are essentially still policy implementers.
By advancing my position, I will be able to participate in the formulation of major policies and important personnel appointments and removals.
In other words.
Previously, my career path was largely beyond my control; while not exactly precarious, it was not entirely secure either.
Next month, while I won't be able to rest easy, I won't have to walk on thin ice anymore, and I'll be able to influence the careers and fates of others.
of course.
The greatest significance of this progress lies in the fact that I can stand on a higher stage and use greater power to realize my ideals and ambitions.
He himself was honest and upright, and now he has reached a higher position, which naturally provides more security for his family. They don't have to worry about the Huilong Group, which they have worked so hard to develop, being taken advantage of.
“I’m taking the high-speed train back to Tianhai tonight, and there are still a few hours before departure. How about we find a place to sit for a while?”
Xiang Yuliang asked with a smile.
"Okay, I know a place that I'm sure you'll be satisfied with!"
After Zhao Lichun finished speaking, he turned to the side and made a gesture of respect.
Based on recent information gathered from various sources, as well as Dean Zou's remarks today.
Xiang Yuliang's next move is very clear: he will be promoted to the Standing Committee and become the Vice President.
As for the specific work arrangements...
Xiang Yuliang has worked at Tianhai for many years and has extensive experience in promoting reform and development.
Therefore, after becoming the vice president, he will inevitably take charge of economic work, specifically responsible for the institutional reforms in finance, industry, transportation and related fields.
The convoy departed from Gyeongju International Airport in a grand procession.
Xiang Yuliang thought Zhao Lichun would take him to the electronic information industrial park to see how the high-tech enterprises in Jingzhou were developing.
Even just taking them to stroll through the now-famous ancient streets of Jingzhou, to see the bustling activity and song and dance performances, would be considered a field investigation and research to understand why Jingzhou's tourism industry is developing so well.
But he never expected that Zhao Lichun would take him to a sports park.
After getting off the bus, various sports fields came into view.
Football field, basketball court, tennis court, badminton court...
At this moment, with the autumn breeze slightly cool, it's the perfect time for exercise.
Therefore, you can see people exercising in many stadiums.
"Lichun, what do you mean by this? Did you bring me here to exercise?"
"Who doesn't know you're really good at tennis? Are you trying to take advantage of my free time today and beat up this noob?"
Xiang Yuliang asked jokingly with a smile.
Zhao Lichun smiled and shook his head.
"Of course not! Look at our clothes, we don't look like we're here to exercise!"
"I think this place is very interesting and has great reference value for our future urban planning and construction."
Xiang Yuliang frowned, turned around, and gazed into the distance.
Besides the sports fields, there also seem to be large areas of woodland and grassland near the river.
"Isn't this just a sports park by the river?"
"At first glance, it does look like a sports park, but in fact, it's actually a large-scale wastewater treatment plant underneath..."
Zhao Lichun made a respectful gesture of invitation, and, with a surprised look on Xiang Yuliang's face, introduced them as they walked forward:
“This used to be a chemical plant. Although various measures were taken to deal with the pollution emissions, it did not have an adverse impact on the lives of the surrounding residents.”
"However, with the rapid development of cities, chemical plants, as typical heavy industries, are clearly no longer suitable for coexisting with ecologically livable cities and must be relocated."
"However, it is easy to move the chemical plant, but how to develop and utilize the land left behind has become a problem. After repeated studies, we have adopted a comprehensive development model."
"It organically integrates natural landscapes, sports and leisure, underground parking, consumer entertainment, and sewage treatment. The surface area is a sports park and commercial complex, while the underground area is a reclaimed water plant and parking lot."
"Such integrated development not only significantly reduces investment in land and pipeline networks, but also effectively solves the problems of strong odor and noise from traditional sewage treatment plants. Furthermore, the availability of parking, recreational activities, dining, accommodation, and other amenities also serves the surrounding community!"
At this point, Zhao Lichun raised his hand and pointed to the river not far away.
"After our wastewater is treated, it is not directly discharged into this river. Instead, it is used for road washing, greening irrigation, and public building cleaning through an underground integrated pipe gallery. Only the excess is discharged into the river to replenish the ecological water."
Xiang Yuliang looked around and then sniffed carefully.
"I can't see any sewage treatment equipment, I can't hear any noise, and I can't smell any odor at all. That's interesting!"
Zhao Lichun smiled and said, "But right now, the wastewater plant right here is indeed in operation. If you're interested, I'll take you down to take a look right now!"
"Okay!"
Xiang Yuliang readily agreed.
He served as the head of the international metropolis of Tianhai for many years.
Of course I know that with the rapid development of cities, urban land is becoming increasingly valuable.
Selling all of it to developers to build housing developments would be ideal, as it would generate substantial land transfer fees.
But this idea is simply unrealistic.
If developers want to buy land and build buildings, the prerequisite is to ensure proper municipal infrastructure.
In addition to simply providing basic infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads, and land leveling, we also need to consider aspects such as wastewater treatment, natural landscaping, and recreational activities.
Otherwise, with high-rise buildings springing up and tens of thousands of residents living together, wouldn't the large amount of domestic sewage generated every day be treated?
Moreover, densely populated areas must have some public green spaces planned so that citizens have places for leisure and exercise; only then can they be considered livable.
In addition, in such a large urban area, there will inevitably be people who earn money and want to buy cars, and there will always be people who want to go shopping and eat out. Commercial complexes that provide parking and shopping services become a necessity.
How to meet multiple needs with limited land in a city where land is extremely valuable? The comprehensive development and utilization project in Jingzhou is clearly worth studying in depth.
soon.
Xiang Yuliang followed Zhao Lichun to the main control room of the underground reclaimed water plant.
I witnessed firsthand how a highly automated modern water plant operates efficiently.
After listening to the factory manager's professional explanation, Xiang Yuliang also learned that there was an underground garbage transfer station next to the water plant.
The daily household waste generated by the surrounding residents is transported to this underground transfer station, where it is sorted and compressed before being sent to the waste-to-energy plant.
Large amounts of wastewater undergo denitrification and membrane filtration before being discharged into the underground sewage network and arriving at this underground reclaimed water plant for further treatment.
As for the odor generated by garbage compression and transportation, it will be treated under negative pressure by a complete set of equipment such as acid washing and alkali washing before being discharged.
The entire process was carried out underground, so there was no noise or odor affecting the surrounding residents. Many people thought it was a sports park.
of course.
The most impressive solution is the Jingzhou Huilong Waste Incineration Power Plant.
Previously, large amounts of domestic waste, medical waste, construction waste, and other garbage generated in cities were often all taken to landfills.
With highly automated waste-to-energy plants that can effectively treat waste gases, all combustible waste is sent to these plants for incineration and power generation.
An advanced boiler combustion automatic control system can keep the furnace temperature above 850°C, and with the addition of a flue gas purification system, it can effectively reduce the total amount of pollutant emissions.
The factory also has a leachate treatment system that can achieve full recycling and zero discharge of wastewater. Even the slag after incineration can be processed into bricks after metal recovery through magnetic separation.
Xiang Yuliang, who is very curious, rushed to the Jingzhou Huilong Waste Incineration Power Plant after inspecting the underground reclaimed water plant.
I witnessed firsthand how fully enclosed garbage trucks drove into the unloading area and dumped the garbage into the garbage pit.
The huge grab bucket can grab several tons of garbage at a time, put it into the inlet of the combustion zone, and then automatically push it into the furnace for incineration.
The entire work area is designed to be fully enclosed and under negative pressure, continuously extracting and treating odors so that no odor can be smelled at all.
The reason why Jingzhou city and several surrounding districts and counties no longer need to build landfills is because there is such a highly efficient and environmentally friendly waste incineration plant.
With the successive completion and commissioning of several waste incineration plants in other parts of Handong, Handong will completely bid farewell to open-air incineration and underground landfill waste disposal methods in the future.
Xiang Yuliang did a rough calculation.
It seems that if more waste incineration plants are built, the strange phenomenon of "not enough waste to burn" may occur in the future.
Previously, people were worried about how to dispose of garbage. Building landfills in barren and remote areas was not only expensive but also environmentally unfriendly.
With the widespread application of a series of environmentally friendly high technologies, the future concern will not be about how to dispose of garbage, but rather about not having enough garbage.
Watching the garbage being hauled into the factory for incineration, eventually turning into bricks and being taken away...
Xiang Yuliang was genuinely happy.
